Tate and Violet // American Horror Story

maxresdefault (1)

It’s not often that a dead, sociopathic, homicidal teenage boy and a depressed, gothic girl whom he forced to suicide make an OTP, but Ryan Murphy’s Tate Langdon and Violet Harmon manage to do just that. In season one of American Horror Story we’re introduced to blonde, curly haired, dreamy eyed, slightly emotionally tortured Tate. He’s tragically beautiful, and after his first musical conversation with Violet:

“You got any Curt Cobain on that thing?”

It’s no wonder we as an audience are hooked. Violet, a gothic outcast, seemed destined to meet Tate, and when the two get together they certainly live up to the tragic aspect of star crossed lovers, but in a way not even the Bard could’ve penned. In a nutshell, we have a date interrupted by remnants of a high school massacre, a loving overdose, inter-generational sexual assault…to name but a few. But all strangeness aside, Tate and Violet’s relationship must be the best, most addictive (and unorthodox) relationship of not only American Horror Story, but the whole of television.
