all of patrick’s scenes with art have the yearning undertone to them in the hotel when art days they weren’t together like that patrick looked so sad😭 and when art basically rejected him in the sauna you could tell he was crushed and trying not to show it while watching their friendship scenes i just kept wondering when they were gonna kiss (churro scene, their hug after beating those guys, running around the court, coming up with the signal, the final hug)

playing "hit 'em up style (oops!)" in the background of the churros scene was certainly a choice.

Heeeeey 👋🏽 I heard you wanted to talk about Challengers and I'm here to answer the call so here I goooo

One thing I adore about the movie is that this is truly a love triangle where all parties have incredible tension with each other. With Patrick and Tashi, it's already set up as a rivalry with how he's shocked she isn't going pro and choosing college instead. Meanwhile, imho, Art represents the "safe choice" for both Tashi and Patrick since we see how he tends to follow their leads. Patrick wants to check out the girls' tennis, he wants to go to the party afterwards, and he actively pursues Tashi with Art not being as open or loud compared to his bestie.

But then we see that while Tashi is okay with not being a homewrecker, as her career and love for the game come 1st, we see that Art is jealous of PatrickTashi relationship but he is more focused on Patrick (mentioning that Patrick's still together with Tashi, most of their tension isn't actually centered around Tashi but b/n Patrick and Art)

I'd say more but then this ask would be hella long lol. I do wonder how many almost kisses the boys might've had pre-Tashi and if they ever wondered what could've been if they hadn't gone for the same girl/Patrick choosing Tashi post almost threesome in the hotel room.

NEVER EVER ! APOLOGIZE FOR A LENGTHY ASK EVER !!!

I too am an avid fan of the biblically accurate love triangle. It is one of the best parts (and the literal backbone) of this movie. Like for me, this movie only works because of how strong each point of the triangle is (in relation to their tensions w one another)

I do love the idea that our baby Art is the “safe choice” but mostly because he is the most compliant only to a degree tho cuz we see that kitty’s got claws the instant he picks up he’s being left out. I think Art as safety net only exists as long as he is part of the equation in the first place.

I don’t necessarily think Tashi is a homewrecker but I think she was the first person to ever be perceived as a “threat” to the ArtPatrick relationship. Because prior to this, Patrick is so blasé about other girls so Art doesn’t care, until he does then he has to compete with tennis AND Tashi for Patrick’s attention.

Also, I like to think their compliance goes both ways because Patrick brings up Tashi to Art, he offers her as a choice and waits for Art to decide. They both implicitly ask each other for permission (only Patrick is much louder and therefore more obvious).

I think in a way Tashi was necessary. Neither of them were willing to make the first move with each other both blind as fuck and probably scared to lose their friendship but Tashi clocked that shit immediately. In a way she gave them permission to just forget everything and just be, they somehow felt safe with her (which is wild cuz THEY JUST MET???)

I am in between the idea that they either have had one kiss (during the first time they jerk off or after) or hook up on the reg to let off some steam and have a sort of understanding that feelings cannot be involved (they are theyre very dumb)

[lila-rae]

are you rooting for tashiart or tashipatrick

Artpatrick 😆

No I’m probably team Patrick ( Which feels wrong cause it’s cheating) but art just seems like the worst.

But really I’m team leave both behind and give Tashi her bad bitch era.

"Why do you love me?"

That question usually is tough one. It makes you think. For all the years that I did, I got an answer. I don't know if you'll believe me, but He told me. :( I've been praying for an answer back in 2012 because I wasn't getting peace. I couldn't get it out of my system. I don't know until when, but until then. Find your answers. I'll always be here.

we're not talking about tennis.

[artashipatrick]

does anyone think bottom patrick zwieg is a good thing? i love tashi duncan. i think she’s a really interesting artist

[lottiematthewsceo]

“i miss playing with you” now at first i took this as him being a little shit and on the surface it was but this is actually him laying on his back buttnaked baring his belly to art. he misses him not just messing with him, playing tennis goofing around (friends/situationship?) he misses HIM. but art takes this at face value and patrick’s chronic smirk doesn’t help so🤷🏾‍♀️ (god these guys needed to get their shit together so bad)

[lottiematthewsceo]

patrick and art kissing her knee… could mean nothing

[lottiematthewsceo]
