mac, riley and bozer: *make risky decision*
jack: tHATS IT! YOU'RE IN TIME OUT GET ON TOP OF THE FRIDGE
riley: thIS HOUSE IS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE
mac: I AM IN HELL
jack: did none of you hear what i just said?? riley: ive been zoned out for the past two hours bozer: i got distracted about half way through mac: ignoring you was a conscious decision
i am genuinely tweaking over the fact that macgyver (2016) practically glosses over the fact that Mac was straight up!!! Lying!!!! to bozer for YEARS.
this would have been such good material to use to explore Mac and Bozer's relationship, and how complex the situation was bc YES it feels like a betrayal but it's also Mac simply protecting Bozer from his dangerous life and still keeping him close despite the danger, despite the very real possibility of bozer accidentally finding out or simply using bozer to get to Mac.
NOT TO MENTION. Boze was Mac's only link to something not remotely related to his job!!! the only bit of normal in his chaotic life!!!!
both of them having to find their footing again after the reveal bc nothing can go back to normal. like. bozer thinking back to all the weird injuries mac returned home with from his think tank business trips, all the lies, all the secrecy, all the time. justified hurt on bozer's side as well as understanding bc if the roles were reversed wouldn't bozer also lie to keep his closest friend safe? understanding the reason doesn't make the years of lies hurt any less.
adhjfkglgl i have. so many thoughts about this. i am clawing at the walls.

I've been swamped with exams and not had time to draw or write recently, so just some appreciation for Bozer's hugginess. Sorry for the awful quality of most of the images lol.
Note that this compilation is from the first half of the first season alone. Have to admit that a big reason I love this show is its abundance of healthy/affectionate male friendships.
To the best of my knowledge, 1st two from S1E13, 2nd two from S1E09, fifth from S1E08, and the last one from S1E04
