Reading the gifticality on today's more, link looked like he was gonna say something. Made me picture him just buzzed outta his mind on caffeine, blurting out that he's gay/bi, triggered by the lgbt foundation on the wheel prompt
when I think of things, the first thing I do is come here lol
I’m so honored that you come to me 😂😊 I adore writing one/both of them coming out. I always feel like Link is holding his breath when that comes up on gifticality.
“... so go over to LALGBTcenter.org/mythical to join the team!” Rhett says.
Link looks straight into the camera and takes a deep breath. Maybe it’s the caffeine or maybe he’s just hit a breaking point of some kind, but it’s on the tip of his tongue and there’s only so much he can do to keep it from coming out of his mouth. “Mythical supports the LGBT community and I personally am part of it as a bisexual man. The LA LGBT center does great things and we’d love for you to join us in supporting them,” Link says, all in a rush.
Rhett turns to give him the biggest smile and you could hear a pin drop in the studio right now. Link’s nerves and the caffeine get the best of him. He starts talking about Rhett and Stevie giving the same number again and maybe he mentions his nipples in the haze. He has this feeling of frantic excitement until they do the breathing exercises.
At last, someone calls cut and Link lets out a sigh. No one says anything immediately. They go through their usual routine after filming and Rhett and Link finally have a chance to pee. Once they’re back in their office, it isn’t long before Stevie is leaning in the doorway, looking straight at Link and asking, “Do you want to keep it in?”
He could ask her what she’s talking about, but the truth is, he knows. He spares a glance at Rhett and they have a few seconds of silent conversation. Link looks back up at Stevie. Usually he’d ask to see it first, but all he says is, “Yeah, keep it in.”
That’s all they say about it. Link knows the PR team is prepared for any fallout the day the video is posted, but all Link ends up seeing is overwhelming support. There are theories about he and Rhett, of course, but that isn’t new. He and Rhett decide they might talk about it on an ear biscuit a few weeks from now, but they decide to let it rest for a bit.
“Why’d you say it in that moment?” Rhett asks when they’re talking about it a few days later.
“I couldn’t let the mythical beasts believe I was just an ally anymore.”
