hello tumblr user kissporsche, it is me, an anon. please tell me in your highly professional opinion what pete's top five outfits are

hello completely anonymous anon. what a fascinating mystery. who on earth could you be. ANYWAY-

in my 100% professional(?) opinion, Pete's top 5 outfits are:

The OG, the GOAT, loml, Do It For Her(tm), Turtleneck Pete. Beautiful, perfect, showstopping, no notes.

The Epilogue. He's out of his bodyguard uniform, so so beautiful, and ready to start his new life. Also I own basically this same outfit.

Partyboy Pete! Look at him!!!!!!! He's adorable!!!!!!!!!

And most importantly even though it only happens in the background: slutty collarbone.

Bandage Croptop. She is the moment. I will never not be obsessed with this. Perfect fit for making the bestworst decisions of your life.

Croupier Pete! Boots, why did you choose this moment to gif-- DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT IT. His intro when he's out here being cute as a button AND his intrigued-by-torture look. It's VERSATILE and should have been his every day bodyguard wear I said what I said

Honourable mentions to: orange jumpsuit, pha khao ma, episode 13 partyboy (sad vers.), comfy ep 7 pjs, workout ass out, safehouse sleeveless shirt, bodyguard tracksuit

Anyway @lu-sn I hope you enjoy this and also mostly enjoy the fact that I REALLY STRUGGLED TO PICK A TOP 5

what if.... i asked for bullying fic..... again 🥺

MEAN TO ME.

He sunk his fingers into the dense fur, slightly fluffy now it was dry. For something inherently otherworldly it was markedly mundane, just an animal pelt that Vegas could run smoothly through his hands, a weight on his forearms and heat on his skin. It was comforting, in the primal way holding another warm body close was, and though Vegas had been struck by the wrongness of it all more than once, he hoarded every drop of that stolen comfort nonetheless.  The sound of gently rattling chains emitted from the adjoining room.

HAPPY?

i am 300 years late. ship game namphueng/gun

and i am 300 years late to answer this so we're even

LU. LU. LU. HOW DID YOU KNOW THIS WAS A THING I HAD THOUGHTS ABOUT

I'm not going to do the questions for this one BUT

Ship It

Right okay you might think i'm insane but. I think Namphueng might have been in love with Gun. I think they might have actually been together but the jealousy and rivalry between Korn and Gun (and whatever hand their father had in this) made it unbearable so Namphueng left.

I can't explain it I just feel like it's true. I'm not saying it was healthy or anything like that, but I do feel like at one point they loved each other. Gun enters the room and as soon as he sees Namphueng all his defences start falling (which of course was Korn's intention leading him there), when Namphueng hears Gun's voice she turns, her eyes widen (in recognition? I think so, team She Has Her Memories over here) and then she stands. When Kinn and Porsche enter the room she doesn't even look at them right away, instead she's stuck staring at Gun. I've said before that Porsche addressing her is what snaps her back into her role, she shuts down and cowers away behind Korn.

We get this exchange:

"How could you do this to Namphueng? How could you?" "I did this to protect Namphueng." "That's not true. You told me she was dead."

Worth saying as well, this is possibly the most emotional we see Korn, although how much of it is an act is up for debate. I think genuinely, arguing over Namphueng with his brother does mentally send him back to being a younger, more emotional man.

Back to the dialogue, obviously i'm not getting the full nuance reading subs, but something about the way it's phrased doesn't sound like they're talking about what Korn is about to accuse Gun of. it sounds not only like the worst thing Korn has done (in Gun's opinion) to Namphueng is telling Gun she was dead but also that the act of protecting her is directly in opposition to letting Gun believe she had died.

"That's all on you Gun, you made me lie. Don't you remember?"

"Don't you remember" is such an interesting thing to say here. Before he tells an emotionally distressed Gun what he's supposed to remember:

"You shot Pat that day. Then we brought Namphueng home. You molested her."

We the viewer know at least half of that is a lie. Korn shot Pat. Korn is excellent at manipulating people into believing what he tells them. Not to mention, if both Korn and Gun brought Namphueng home then what would Gun think happened to Porsche and Chay? Why would he believe they were out of the picture if he was with Korn the whole time?

Namphueng is behind Korn while he says this and has very little reaction, she's acting as she has been since the start but-

When Korn raises his voice she closes her eyes and grips her dress. It's not rocket science to say Namphueng is traumatised by Korn, but yeah.

"You did all of this because you're selfish. You lied to everyone. Korn, stop pretending. Stop it. [...] You just want all the power. The truth is, you're just as bad as papa was."

Now Gun has shifted from Namphueng to the real heart of the issue: him and Korn. Namphueng becomes what she's always been when she gets between the brothers, just another way for one of them to win power over the other. What I also want to point out is that Gun doesn't deny anything Korn accused him of, but he does call Korn out for "pretending". Because Gun knows, possibly better than anyone else, that Korn is a liar. Gun isn't trying to defend himself here, he's barely aware of their audience, if Korn is lying then he, Korn and Namphueng all already know that.

And then one of my favourite lines in the entire series, "You're just as bad as papa was." and Korn's reaction.

A beat of silence from the master manipulator, who has finally been hit where it hurts. Just brothers who were fucked up by their father, and are passing it along to their kids in return.

Then Gun focuses back on Namphueng, appealing to her:

"Namphueng, I love you the most. Please come back to me. I'll protect you."

Now Namphueng is visibly distressed, her lips are shaking, she's squirming uncomfortably, eyes darting all over the place.

"I love you the most"- even loving her is a competition between them, it always has been, but also- "Please come back to me." Come back to me. I can protect you now, like I couldn't before. We can be together again.

But then he goes back to Korn, and:

"And everyone shall know the truth. The truth that Namphueng is-"

The way this haunts me! What the fuck could he be about to say, because I thought it was another secret he was trying to use against Korn, one serious enough he ends up dead for trying to reveal it, but... what? What more is there we don't know about Namphueng?

This truth is clearly something both he and Korn know, and either is information that could be leveraged against Korn and/or make him angry enough to shoot Gun. Revealing that he and Namphueng were together fits both, because it disrupts the narrative that Korn is trying to spin here of Gun being obsessed with her to the point of assaulting her.

I really don't know. I want to push the half-brothers agenda but the Kinnporsche timeline is impossible to understand so i'll just say it's not out of the realm of possibility that the end of that sentence is "Namphueng is Vegas's mother", especially seeing as Korn mentions them right after shooting him. Which clearly isn't for his benefit seeing as he's dead- okay i'm shutting up i'm stopping.

So Korn shoots Gun and Namphueng screams, the only sound we hear her make in the entire show, then passes out. I mean, reasonable under any circumstances given she's a traumatised, isolated woman who just saw someone get shot, whether that person was just her foster brother or past lover is neither here nor there.

So uh this got away from me a little (when will I stop going on about this scene) but my thoughts are this: Gun and Namphueng were together at some point in the past, but Namphueng still left to try and get out of the family. Part of Korn's motivation in locking her up was to win something against Gun, who had her when Korn couldn't. Whether they were still secretly seeing each other while Namphueng was with Pat, whether they were married or had children together, is up for debate.

And just to be clear, absolutely none of this is an attempt at defending Gun for anything. Them being together in the past doesn't even preclude him assaulting her, just in my opinion it reads more like Korn manipulation than anything else because Korn is speaking for their audience (Kinn and Porsche, who he needs to be under his control for his plan to work) whereas Gun isn't. But we won't know for sure until Namphueng tells us herself.

for the ama: what's the fandom you've been in for the longest and why?

ooooh I think Sailor Moon? if "in fandom" means still enjoying and happily reblogging when it crosses my dash. But if "in fandom" you mean actively engaging with other fans and fan creations and revisiting the source material, I think it's Fairy Tail, which I've been in fandom for since...2010, wow

Both Sailor Moon and Fairy Tail are one of the earlier animes I watched but Fairy Tail airing across so many years kinda kept me more active in the fandom atmosphere. I think Fairy Tail does a really good job in having a large cast of characters but making them all distinct and memorable. It's one of the only fandoms in which I can really understand shipping practically anyone and everyone together because so many interpersonal relationships are fleshed out.

If you're interested, I really like this video for why fans love Fairy Tail so much

Thanks for the ask!

*looking directly at queen of spades*

but for wip game, i wanna hear about kimmacau! or... both? 🥺

*waggles eyebrows*

i'm assuming you assumed queen of spades is my VP Alice in Borderland AU got the Kingdom locked up, which it is! here is one of VP's first interactions in Borderland

“What makes you think I’ll be any nicer in a Clubs game?” Pete just shrugs again. “What makes you think I want you to be? I’m pretty confident at Clubs games, myself.” She still has that silly smile on her face. Vegas wants nothing more than to not have to see it for another second. She considers walking away, seriously that smile annoys her that much, but looking Pete in the eyes, her own narrow. Her hand grabs onto Pete’s, whip sharp, and shakes. “If you get me killed, I’ll haunt your ass.” Does that make her a hypocrite, considering their last interaction? Yes. Did Vegas ever claim to be a perfect person? Absolutely fucking not.

the kimmacau file has the beginnings of like...three different kimmacau smut fics lol. one of them is just meaningless smut, another is the barebones of a fic about macau being into knifeplay

Kim grabs at his wrist. “It scarred.” Those bright feline eyes flick up at him. Macau shrugs. He doesn’t want to admit that he doesn’t really mind the scar. Kim reaches for the nightstand. He flicks the knife he grabbed across his skin and, in a blink, Macau sees a line of red appear on the soft underside of his cousin’s arm. Kim sets the knife back on the nightstand. He brandishes his arm to Macau like it’s a gift. “Now we match.”

and the most developed one is a semi-unsettling, arranged first-time between alpha!kim and omega!macau after macau has presented

Kim would be a liar if he said he didn’t get excited upon receiving the call. And if there’s one thing he hates, it’s liars. So, yes, he’ll admit that, for once, he’s looking forward to returning to his childhood home. Not for the act itself, but for what is waiting for him upon his return. Macau has made him endure unfulfilled ruts for three long years. Now, it’s time for Kim to collect.
