  alex lawther playing a pretentious oxford dropout who spends his days sitting in his ass eatin fruit in his chocolate brown cardigan that matches his chocolate brown indoor loafers while chain-smoking and reading books is an aesthetic i fully support. everyone who's seen this calls him a scene-stealer and honestly, we been knew
