Kon: oh. haha yeah, i guess it is. do you want it back?
Wally: i mean its fine, i have a million but,,,, why do you have my sweatshirt?
Kon: well you see, Tim is probably the biggest Clothes Thief on the planet, and he steals my clothes all the time but i he’s tiny and none of his clothes fit me so when i steal something back its almost always an article of clothing that he stole from someone else which is the only reason he owns something large enough for me to wear. i stole this hoodie from Tim, who stole it from Dick, who I’m assuming stole it from you.
Wally: and you don’t find that strange?
Kon: no. Bro, you’re my boyfriend-in-law.
Wally:
Kon:
Roy: *walks in wearing a shirt that obviously belongs to Kon*
Wally: Roy, that is Literally Kon’s shirt
Roy: no biggie, we’re boyfriends-in-law so its cool
you know the show is going to be good when it starts off with whump… i introduce you to my new blorbo peter, an FBI agent who gets wrapped up in some conspiracy plot and is protecting/rescuing a civilian. he gets injured in an explosion + run over by a car in the first 10mins of ep 1, has physical and emotional-traumatic scars, gets shot at + beaten up + punched MULTIPLE TIMES throughout the series, major delicious whump with aftercare in ep 6. plus a cute slow burn. it’s an old style spy thriller and it’s (whumpy) goooood.
It was 100% intentional to put these lines back to back, because it shows us that what Pete is saying here isn’t really an insult. He’s not trying to stop Vegas here--he’s trying to stop himself.
“You’re a psycho” really translates to something like, He’s your captor, Pete. Don’t you see what he’s trying to do? It’s a manipulation.
But we, of course, see how well Pete is able to resist. Vegas leans towards Pete and successfully lures him in, but he still backs off before going any further. I’m not awarding morality points to Vegas here, but I find it incredibly interesting how he says that it’s no fun if Pete doesn’t give in, when Pete was certainly in the process of giving in. The expression on Pete’s face does not look like someone who is turned off by the person in front of them; in fact, if Vegas would’ve continued, I am certain that things would’ve played out similarly. EXCEPT, I think we could’ve seen a difference in the resulting dynamics.
The scene plays out with Pete fully submitting to Vegas by giving him control of the situation. But if Vegas hadn’t given Pete that option to submit in the first place, I think we would’ve gotten a sex scene, but one that was not nearly as clear-cut as this one. Why? Because it’s necessary to have this exchange of power: Vegas gives control to Pete, and Pete gives control to Vegas. Vegas has to first give up control in order for Pete to offer it back to him. At the same time, Vegas wants Pete to take and then give. He needs Pete to prove that this isn’t just one-sided.
I now desperately want to headcanon Mr. Ambrose as Agender AMAB (and gay, but he's canonically gay already, or at least into men). @br1ghtestlight mentioned hearing about someone headcanoning Mr. Ambrose as Agender, and I just adore that so much. There has also been some Nonbinary headcanons about him, which is valid too, but I like the Agender one slightly more, just because I don't think I've ever seen Agender representation in popular media before, especially a show as popular as Bob's Burgers?? Or at least, I can't remember if I have.
I also like to think he'd go by any pronouns as well. I think he would prefer He/Him, but wouldn't really care what anyone called him--he just doesn't seem like the type to care that much about gender. Someone could be like "Hey, Ms. Ambrose, can you help me find something?" and he'd still be like "Shhhhhhh, you idiot child, can't you see I'm trying to enjoy my ziti in peace??"
Side note, that scene had me in absolute stitches:
every time a person shows up in my notes liking or reblogging all the 12 monkeys content i have my heart grows 3 sizes like the grinch :) because nobody in my offline life has seen the whole show and at most a handful of people i know even on tumblr are familiar with it but it’s one of the best crafted stories i’ve ever been told and the rare scifi i genuinely adore and it plays with time! and morality! and somehow manages to be both tropetastic and existential at once! while also being about a fucking plague (i started watching it in 2020 because I Make Good Choices) yet it’s also funny and the best of all the things, a story of found family
Describe how you like things with another person? Position, rp, kinks?
Hmm. This is kind of a broad question, but one example I can think of is I like the idea of being a cute little toy for someone, especially when I’m high, so I’m nice and and pliant and sweet for them. Just a pretty thing to sit on someone’s lap and get toyed with whenever they get bored and want to see me squirm. And if there’s an audience, then I guess I have to put on a good show for everyone, don’t I? It’ll be fun to see how long I can keep my composure while I’m being fingered with a hand gently wrapped around my throat.
Positions, on the other hand…
When I’m jacking off, I prefer to be on my tummy, since I have bad joints and it helps the bones in my wrist not get too sore. With someone else, I like being on my stomach too, but I also like being on all fours or a nice mating press. I’m a bit of a size queen, so both give a nice stretch.
As far as kinks go, just look through the blog, mon coeur. There are some more hardcore ones that I don’t post much about, but those aren’t much for anonymous conversation, hm?
thinking about how i really want to play my tlt characters, and i think it’d be easier to dip my toes back into writing if i could play the newer muses i’m excited about, but the tlt rp fandom on tumblr is tiny, and then i realized — they’re literally necromancers. there’s gotta be a way to overlap that with mdzsverse—
