as someone who's not familiar with robles: how would you introduce them to someone who needs to get acquainted with them? :)
OH BOY thank you so much for this opportunity
so like maybe you have seen Tropic Thunder, maybe you haven't.
Rob Slolom and Les Grossman are these fuckers
in this movie about the making of a movie, they're the antagonists producers, very evil, willing-to-let-an-actor-die-so-they-can-claim-the-insurance-later evil.
many people remember Les, the guy on the right. because he's played by Tom Cruise and is so foul-mouthed and bad tempered and looks like That that people don't realize it's him until the credits, where they reveal it like this
the other is Rob, the guy on the right, played by the then 29-year-old Bill Hader. no one remembers him. the few Bill fans that do remember him don't really care about him beyond that he's played by Bill
and like. in a movie that's a satire about the state of hollywood that still holds up well now, filled with tropes and gags and over-the-top characters, these two could have very easily been the one-note Evil Producer Who Treats Everyone Like Shit and Their Lackey That Kisses Their Ass Out Of Fear villains
except that they're not
in the about 15 minutes of combined screen time they have together, somehow Rob is the only person that Les treats differently. he never gives Rob a direct command, he never yells at Rob, he asks Rob for his opinion on things, he GIVES ROB A GENUINE COMPLIMENT.
and on the other end, Rob's loyalty to Les feels so unwaveringly sincere, like he truly admires Les, would do anything for Les, and falls in sync with Les without with ever having to tell him to do so.
now, am i reading into this too much? maybe. am i going insane from brainrot? most likely. but i've been obsessing over them since January 2021 bc @threeoaksy got me into them and i'm not about to stop.
in any case i Love Them.

your trademark? your art style and your ocs (tho i see those mostly on discord), mitch and tom in general, your gifs which are always very bold, unique and giving new insights into characters and their relationships!!
Thank you, Gilles! Yeah the OCs I mostly talk about here are top gun ones and even them i haven't talked about much because I haven't written them into stories, such a shame really ( I really want to talk about my oc , June, Slider's wife)
As for my gif insights, it's how i stand out from those who can gif faster than i can (and it's all i know :D )
