Ranking the other boys’ outfits in ToT Main Story 11.1 from least surprising to most surprising
Or basically, every important guy who is not Vyn. I'll put this under a read more for everyone who has not completed Main Story 11.1 yet!
4) Artem Wing // I sleep
Standard outfit. I don't even have a screenshot for this because he looked so normal
3) Jerome Adams // Blinking as I make sure I am seeing things correctly
Imagine that Jerome can be... casual?? And it's genuinely a decent outfit. It's a bit Artem-core with the black turtleneck, but the necklace leans more towards Marius' style. Also, the coat is a clever replacement for his usual lab coat and is maybe more reminiscent of Luke or Vyn. Running into him at this point in the story may be surprising, but what is even more shocking is that he has more than one outfit in his storage.
2) Luke Pearce // Widened eyes, gasping in shock
Hearing Luke hanging out undercover is one thing. SEEING his undercover outfit is another. This is definitely straight from his wardrobe because I'm pretty sure it's his skateboarding outfit! Who knew Agent Raven could still look intimidating with a headband and a funky shirt?
1) Marius von Hagen // Full on double take + hands clasped over the mouth, like "he DID NOT just do that"
Main story 11.1-01 was full of so many moments, and this was definitely one of them. For Marius to enter such a tense moment between Vyn and Matthew (at this point, we haven't been told that the gun is airsoft) -- and to enter LIKE THIS, in his BEACH OUTFIT, coming from a (FAKE) BEACH PARTY is an incredible moment. The confidence you'd need to have in order to do that. The sheer nonchalance of the whole act. The incredible juxtaposition of being in a fancy house with two fancy gentlemen and walking in with your Hawaiian shirt and swimming trunks. It's a power move. Much like Luke, Marius doesn't need to wear a suit and tie in order to deliver a carefully veiled threat.
luke reminds me of a dog who doesn’t wanna have a bath in that he isn’t a fan of having his hands cared for or having extensive skin care routines. i think you wrote a headcanon about this many moons ago but i can imagine any of the nxx members wanting to do something NICE and they gotta drag luke like a dog who doesn’t wanna budge on a leash
make sure he’s rewarded with plenty of treats and hugs/kisses!!
this is absolutely luke, u hit the nail on the head.
the thing about luke is that when it comes Self Care or Self Indulgence, he holds himself very much the same way a stinky stray dog would. and hes a stinky stray dog whos scared of these unknown things like Comforts, and hes been a stray for so long that he deems Comforts as something a stray should not have. no no, those are reserved for the Good Dogs. and what is key about luke is that he always thinks he is a Bad Dog. and Bad Dogs dont deserve Comforts. in addition, Comforts seem so scary! what do you mean a good thing happens and makes you feel good and thats it??? sounds SUSPICIOUS!!!!! so when mc tries to take him out for a spa day hes squirming in his seat like "....cant we go play laser tag instead?" because at least he knows how to do laser tag and mc is like at her wits end because she just wants luke Moisturized and maybe even Massaged but he makes such an Ordeal Out Of It and it's much easier asking someone like marius out for a spa day because marius is like "//snaps fingers, im game. want me to reserve the whole spa for a day?"
anyway the nxx team convincing luke to accept Comforts because hes a Good Dog Good Person is a Challenge. they have to disguise it somehow in some way that it benefits All and not just Him so that he'll say yes (come here, dog! the bath isnt scary, look, im in the water too and it's not scary!).
it's still an ordeal though. please imagine all of the nxx team pulling luke inside a spa and he keeps slipping under the hold and trying to walk away but theyre like "NO. NO! WE'RE ALREADY HERE, LUKE COME ON"
after the team spa day they all agree to go laser tagging with luke. as a treat
