The two of you together is the world in balance

Flinthamilton appreciation week, day 1: Why You Love Them

While the quote above is James talking about Silver and Madi, I feel like it applies to him and Thomas as well. They’re my strongest OTP ever because they really balance each other and keep each other grounded. I tried to show that balance in the picture. James is filled with fire and rage but Thomas helps him to keep cool. On the other hand, Thomas is a dreamer and James helps him to keep things realistic.
They are both incredibly driven and both strive for a better world, but
they each have their own ways to achieve it. But somehow, they always
seem to find a happy medium. I think that makes them incredibly strong
as a couple.

‘Thomas, he sees only the principle. The right. It’s inspiring. It can be intoxicating. It’s why I love him. But you, you see the world as it is. You see it’s truths and how to navigate them, how to bend them to your will. It’s why I love you. Men like Thomas need men like you to protect them from the world, and that is what I’m asking you to do.’        – Miranda
