I know that Sir Toby is a little bit fruity and some people see him as gay, but I do love him and Maria’s relationship because they were honestly made for each other. Their whole relationship is just “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss” and “manipulate, mansplain, malewife” fused with middle aged sitcom couple. They’re both secretly some of the smartest people in the room who are master manipulaters. They think on oddly similar wavelengths and if Sir Toby actually put his mind to it while sober, they would be equally matched in a battle of wits, neither truly outsmarting the other. When they’re being romantic (and Toby isn’t drunk), they kinda give me Morticia and Gomez Adams vibes.
They’re honestly perfect for each other and I love this slightly evil duo.
