Are you gonna let him stay home and make flower garlands? Right? Getting worried all of a sudden? Or he’s trying to betray us? Right, or does he get on your nerves? Or did he make another mistake? Or do you hate him? Right, but why would that matter? Or does he stink? Or he’s afraid of dying all of a sudden? Yeah, what is it, Kinn? Huh?
You know what? I am so glad that kinn and porsche have fun together. It would be so easy to make their relationship tense and passionate and all-consuming (and it is! In many ways!) but they also just, like, make each other laugh. Their sex is joyful. They go on dumb cheesy dates and exchange forehead and sniff kisses. Kinn finds Porsche’s quirks charming rather than something he puts up with. Porsche finds Kinn and his awkward, hidden earnestness cute. They flirt SO badly. Outside of the sex and the mafia and the danger, they just want to hang out. Love this for them.
As a nosy-ass person who gets my grubby little mitts into just about every corner of the KinnPorsche fandom, I can sense it: There's a deep tiredness going on right now.
This show is intense, and we're all being very intense about it.
As a result, we're getting a bit burnt because the intensity has been going on for two and a half months. 😱
We are going into the last stretch of a long journey. People are getting cranky about various things that they probably would have brushed off back in the first few episodes. I'm seeing more contention, more rifts, more rivalry between fans, people digging in their heels and setting up camps.
Remember the early days? When we were just so amazed and grateful that this now exists? Yeah, that. Don't forget that feeling.
Self-care reminders:
❓ Before rushing into any fandom argument or making a confrontational post, ask yourself, "Do I want to spend my energy on this or something else that will bring me joy?"
😴 Take breaks. Take a walk. Take a nap. Consume some entirely different media.
🚫 Curate your online experience. Use that Block button.
🤔 Remember that you don't need to change someone else's mind to enjoy what makes you happy. (Someone doesn't like your favorite food? Eat the hell out of it anyway!)
Contrariwise, there's nothing wrong with being passionate -- I just encourage you not to burn yourself out!
This post is brought to you by my own selfishness. I need you all in solid shape and writing good KP meta for at least another four weeks. Don't fall apart on me yet, you unruly lot.
just the way it happens in the middle of the argument. is kinn trying to shut porsche up or is he trying to tell porsche that he trusts him? that he loves him?
(everything he can’t put into words)
either way, it reads as very exasperated (but not in a bad way; more like “not this again” said fondly than anything else)
the way kinn fists his hand in porsche’s waistcoat, the sharp tug. the way he tilts his face and leans in…tries to deepen the kiss.
and the way porsche just lets him…for a second because he gets so lost in kinn and kissing him.
the little sway they do because kinn puts so much force behind the kiss, it makes porsche stumble back.
god just the desperation and yearning and the way even when pushing kinn away, angry, porsche still holds onto his shirt, fists it in his hand so kinn would not get away…
(+ kinn doesn’t let go of porsche’s waistcoat either!!!)
So, I'm noticing this conversation being brought up again and I'm ready to talk about it briefly. I'm mostly seeing this argument from the lovely people over on Twitter but I think you guys wouldn't mind talking about it too. As always, you can check out my previous post on this topic here.
In what world do people still believe Vegas would make a good mafia boss? Because he makes evil, underhanded choices that undermine the family instead of actually benefiting the family? Vegas is out for Vegas. Vegas doesn't care about The Family, so why would he be the better choice here if he's outright said he doesn't care about the family? Vegas has proven time and time again that his main goal in life is to hurt and/or destroy Kinn. At this point, he's in a one-sided rivalry with Kinn because Kinn isn't even actively fighting him back and he's still winning like what this lovely person mentioned in this post.
His arrogance, envy, and inferiority complex is why he can't be a good leader. Those emotions blind him to the things he should be paying attention to. (And yes, I know you guys are holding onto the fact that Kinn 'forgot' Pete but beggars can't be choosers. Meaning - this happened to give some of you shippers what you want, so why complain?) But anyway, it's why his plan to ruin Kinn's reputation/life crashed & burned. He made Tawan fall in love with him but he didn't realize that Tawan was a loose cannon with his own irrational emotions. Tawan was so devoted to Vegas that he kidnapped Chay and that's what ruined the plan. It never even ran across his mind that Tawan would go rogue. His arrogance never even took that into consideration.
It made the entire plan implode because his lack of foresight came back to bite him in the ass and everything fell apart. Where is Vegas's second, third, and fourth plan? A good leader can think on his feet and has backup plans in case the original plan doesn't work. Vegas didn't do that. He had one plan and one plan only.
He was so arrogant that he truly believed that he could control his pawns but he failed to remember that everyone has their own motives. He fails to realize that he's not the smartest person in the room and you can't underestimate anyone just because you're arrogant enough to believe otherwise. Like I've stated previously, Vegas doesn’t know how to play chess. Just like he had his own agenda, so does literally everyone else. He played Tawan like a fiddle but Tawan got the last laugh because he completely ruined Vegas's plan and now everyone knows he's a traitor.
At this point, I'm not even sure how Vegas can come back from this because all of the dirty laundry has been pulled out into the street. His dad may protect him but ... his dad doesn't seem to care all that much about him to begin with, so who knows? But even now, I'm sure he thinks he can get to Kinn by torturing Pete. And with that, he's probably going to fumble that somehow too. It won't work.
The moral of the story is that Vegas will run The Family right into the ground. You don't have to like Kinn or support him in any way, but the canon facts are the canon facts. You can hate Kinn's guts all you want but the fact still remains. Kinn may not be doing as good of a job as some people may want, but there's no way in Hell Vegas could do a better job.
