I could never love myself either

HOW WE FEELING VEGASPETE NATION? Because I donāt know about the rest of yāall, but I personally am feeling like Iāve done AN ENTIRE FUCKING KILO of that cocaine from the warehouse in Ep 7.
So, LISTEN. I can kind of see now why theyāve been so stingy about doling out VP material, because if they did, it would have immediately eclipsed the actual Kinn and Porsche material. If this is the electricity Build and Bible generate on-screen (no pun intended) when Vegas and Pete are at loggerheads, I cannot even imagine what their sex scene is going to be like. I am going to need some supplemental oxygen.
Although, letās be honest. Pete dominated this scene. Build owns it. I donāt know if Bible consciously stepped back or if Build is actually just this fucking magnetic when they let him off the leash, but I literally couldnāt take my eyes off of him. I kept forgetting to look at Bible ā at Bible ā because I couldnāt look away from Build and his perfect beautiful feral face. His smile when Vegas accuses Pete of foiling his plan, Peteās so pleased with himself for outsmarting Vegas. The way he leans forward into whatās happening. And the sheer fucking determination that sets in at 40:00, when Vegas starts sparking his jumper cables at him, the way the smile falls away, but itās not replaced by fear, OH NO. Wait, let me go dig out a thing I posted during my breakdown of the āconsume youā trailer, what was it, oh yeah, when Vegas gets his hand around Peteās throat: āYou think youāve got the upper hand? Are you sure? Am I reacting like you thought I would? Did you want to see fear? Tough shit, youāre not getting that from me.ā AND HERE WE ARE. NO TURNING BACK.
And then Peteās utter refusal to look away, the way he stares down Vegas from 40:25 to 40:30, I just. I CANāT. I CANNOT, YāALL. Iām fucking feral over this shot, and this is what Iāve been saying since the beginning, for weeks now, and itās finally happening ā youāre gonna lose this one, Vegas, youāre going to lose so completely and utterly and thoroughly, heās going to get inside your head and inside your skin, and heās going to crack you open and tear you apart, and then heās going to stitch you back together, and heās going to do it all so so so unexpectedly, with his unflinching gaze and his vulnerable wrists and that shroud of grey that heās got wrapped around him, no villains and no heroes, and itās going to be the best thing thatās ever happened to you in your miserable life, your entire world is going to be re-made, youāre going to be re-born when you lose this confrontation, the way youāre already losing in this scene, the way heās dominating whatās going on, naked, defenseless, tied to a post and staring down your paltry little power play.
And Vegas. Oh my god, my dude. You are so angry that itās making you stupid. Itās like youāve never met Pete. Itās like heās never ridden shotgun for you on an op. Itās like heās never stared you down while you tortured a guy. Youāre looking at him, and all youāre seeing is that guy who you freaked out by leaning against his car roof like a working girl offering a BJ, and youāre completely forgetting that Pete is perfectly comfortable with violence. Heād be 100x more freaked out if you tried to kiss him right now, but this? This is the reality he swims in. This is where he fucking shines. Which theyāve actually made literal, because can I also mention how beautifully they filmed this precise shot? The lighting in this scene, the LIGHTING. I donāt have the technical knowledge to know exactly what theyāre doing, but theyāve managed the same effect during this staredown that they did with Porsche at the window of Tawanās room in Ep 9, where it doesnāt even look real, it looks like an anime.
Iām dying, Iām dead, theyāve killed me.

i usually hate the miscommunication trope in dramas but this was one of the times that it was absolutley valid. i mean sky had no reason to believe that p'pai would be any different. he saw p'pai with someone else and he jumped straight to the conclusion that p'pai was cheating and it wasn't even that much of a fvxking leap coz why the fuck did prapai entertain that bastard. he sat down with him and let him touched him before rejecting him.

i am utterly disappointed in who i have become. i wanted to be someone better, someone important, someone beautiful. but instead i waste space, i waste time and i burden the people i love. this isnt the future i had in mind for myself and i know its too late. iāll never get that future i dreamed of as a child.

thinking about macau - how he was sequestered away somewhere safe during the invasion, maybe with a couple of bodyguards and absolutely zero information. just sitting there, waiting and feeling sicker and sicker to his stomach, the sky darkening ominously, it's been hours, why hasn't hia called-
and then hia does call, and macau's heart leaps in his chest as he rushes to answer it - but it's not hia who answers. it's someone he doesn't know, and macau's blood freezes over, because if someone who isn't hia has hia's phone? then - he can't-
and he's being callously summoned by this cold voice he doesn't recognize, and he distantly thinks this might be a trap, but he doesn't care, he has to go. he gets his guards to double-time it to the address he's given, and he feels the floor give out under him when he realizes it's the main family's private hospital.
he sprints in, yells at enough hospital staff that they hastily take him to a starkly lit hallway, where a man he has seen before is slumped in a waiting chair. it's pete, he recognizes him, and pete looks like he's been through a war, and pete looks so completely numb.
macau doesn't care. macau screams at him. "what is happening," he shouts, borderline hysterical, "where is hia, where is he?"
pete looks at him blankly, lets a tear track down his dirty face - and then tells him. pete tells him everything. and macau crumples.
