i love the idea of a completely made up rivalry by their agents, even maybe the media with some casting rumors they could often be "against one another for the part" when satchel would have a pretty similar attitude to the whole thing, torn between laughing at how hilariously wrong everyone is, how unnecessarily dramatic it all became. but yes, they could have met after running at auditions a couple of times and became friends that way? i always say that satchel manages to disappear in the crowd since he doesn't have a very noticeable style, or life and his glasses give him a new identity (he's the real clark kent). all this rambling to basically say that they could be friends who hang out every now and then, sometimes go on hikes upstates or in the countryside while the media and gp think they're mortal enemies?
