I love how throughout this bit Fabien is thinking of Riz the entire time

[hamable]

Riz giving Fabian disadvantage while getting a gold tattoo in hell is killing me for two reasons:

1. Fabian receives disadvantage on remaining calm and conscious because his best friend can’t stop making nervous eye contact, and

2. Said best friend is canonically covered in less-than-advisable tattoos of clues from a previous adventure.

BONUS

3: Riz immediately passes out

[islandoforder]

“when you think about me why do you always bring up The Ball?” is such a loaded question from a hot girl about your best friend

riz gukgak being an unhinged little freak (affectionate)

shoutout to riz boasting in the essay on fabian's behalf. like theres monsters rushing him and hes scribbling on the wall "I, FABIAN SEACASTER, SON OF BILL SEACASTER—"

still reeling from "when you look at me why do you always think about the ball" like. brennan did that stone fucking cold. no way brennan doesn't know full well the implications of that. he said it like he's been waiting seasons to say it. that line shook me to my fucking core. I'm not kidding is it finally time for fabian to face his crush on riz. baron is back next episode. riz scratching at the inside of the palimpsest and baron and shards of glass and mirrors and truth and relationships and fabian biting glass to check for clues and ecaf and vanity and identity and relationships.... what does it all mean.......

Fabriz nation how we feeling

[biboomerangboi]

The whole party’s so codependent that this hardly matters anyway but Queerplatonic FabRiz is actually so important to me like all I picture is them at 20 being like Fabian “Hello my future lover, this is my emotional support provider THE BALL, I run most of my decisions past him and lose my mind if he’s not around.” Meanwhile Riz just gets the confirmation he’s actually loved for being a great friend and just the validation that his friendship is as important to someone’s life as a romance partner and also getting to at some point to be Fabian’s Sugarbaby.

I think Fabian enabled Riz’s ring evolution

so. several things:

fabian saves fig and gorgug from falling with his battle sheet.

he says, "But that moment of terror does happen. 'Cause I want him (Ruben) to feel it. I want him to know what it would feel like if the most important thing in his world disappeared."

the last time i can remember fabian saving someone with his battle sheet like that is when he saved riz from falling to his death in sophomore year.

the phrasing. most important thing in his world. he could've easily added the word 'love' in there.

he didn't.

riz, who is terrified of being left behind by his friends. who struggles with wondering if he's important to them.

that deep, aromantic fear of feeling like you will never be the most important person in ANYONE'S life. not when you aren't in a romantic relationship. That fear.

riz in a previous episode saying, "It's okay, everyone needs a least favorite friend."

now reread fabian's line.

(also, not to grasp at straws, but like- was he SIDE-EYEING RIZ?)

[the-greatest-magic-of-all]

God, Fabian and Riz need couples therapy and they're not even in a committed relationship.

[kermit-coded]

fabian you are never beating the codependent and homoerotic with your best friend allegations

[gingermarshmallow]

OMG Riz hissing at Fabian while they argue about tartar sauce! My giddy ass can't take this! 💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤
