please unpack it
Let's see:
-Link trying extra hard to seem unfazed, therby outing himself as Very Fazed. Even if he knew it was coming, actually seeing it probably hit hard.
-His glazed eyes and fake laugh. He probably knows how painfully obvious it is when Rhett is jealous, and sees the comments, so he tries extra hard to keep it together.
-It seemed to hit him harder just after the fact. Like it took his brain a while to catch up and tell him he needed to react "scandalized"
-Link rubbing his thighs and fidgeting/squirming around.
-Link sneaking a glance at the monitor like he couldn't help it no matter how much he tried.
-Rhett looking smug right at the camera. Confident. A huge fuck you to any homophobia he grew up with and the pearl-clutchers in the comments. He owned this.
-CHEEKS. Rhett's cheeks can't lie. His posture too, sitting up tall with his chest out.
-Rhett telling Link about his "special relationship" with Chase. Probably scripted, but felt like he was kinda rubbing it in Link's face anyway.
-Rhett holding his gaze on Link without moving. Facing right towards him. That smirk. He knows it gets to him. Or maybe it's an invitation? Challenge?
-Chase looking at Link.
Slightly unrelated but: I know none of this is officially real but damn, sometimes I feel bad for them. They've come such a long way (this episode is evidence enough of that) but there's still so much hesitation between the two of them. They definitely still have a lot of rules in place between them that it seems like they wish weren't there. If there's any truth behind our speculation then I'm glad Rhett gets to express himself more and more and I hope we get to witness more growth between them.
Say what you will but our boy Rhett ushered in 20-bi-teen years ago
Love your analysis! Everyone keeps talking about Link’s reaction to Chase’s kiss from today, but I think the more telling bit is watching Link’s reactions when they’re watching the frog prince kiss back. He’s frowning/scowling most of the time. In general, he seems really uncomfortable. He downs his water, he fixates on the germs from the frog and how he wouldn’t kiss/touch it himself. When the kiss finally happens, his laugh seems so forced and fake. Poor bby 😔
YES you are absolutely right. Link makes sure he brings up not being able to touch the frog like he's desperate to change the subject. Thinking about the fact that this was the first time Link saw the kiss kills me too.
Thank you for *not* making gifs of today's episode (of the obvious part...) ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
