I had the weirdest dream in a while last night, completely unrelated to anything . (well i mean, it was still Oz, i guess)
So there’s this Chinese variety/reality show called 爸爸去哪儿/“Where are we going, Dad?” Where celebrity dads take their children to the country side and play various games. ANYWAY, for some reason, even though I’ve never watched this show (only know it), I had a dream that Miguel and Chico were on it. Like they were actors on Oz, not as Kirk and Otto, like the tv show Oz exists, and the actors were Miguel and Chico, as ??? (Idk what their characters were supposed to be named lol. Maybe still Miguel and Chico?)
Anyway, they show up to this taping not knowing the other is going to be there and then it sort of follows this one real life thing from 爸爸去哪儿 (basically my reference point for the show) where these two actors looked awkward with each other in the beginning when in fact they weren't awkward at all and in fact had been in a movie together playing lovers, full frontal and everything lol. The camera was SUPER ZOOMED on their faces btw (it was hilarious). The oddest part about the show was that Chico had six kids while Miguel had none and the PDs were like why the fuck did we invite this guy when he has no kids and some idiot was like “Well he had a kid on the show….”
And I (in the dream, I was watching the show as like I'd just stumbled across it online or something and was trying to get screenshots or something idk) was like “lol Chico also 50/50 chance has a kid on the show, altho it’s probably supposed to be Martinez’s based on the final edit” and after much humming and hawwing (Miguel sitting there awkwardly being a cool uncle to the blurry faced children), the PDs were like "ok Miguel well you can be on the show anyway, we’ll just give you 3 of Chico's kids to pretend to be the dad of for the sake of the show premise". And someone is like “That’s not going to work, Chico famously has 6 kids” And the PD was like “He’s not that famous 🙄 Only a couple of people like him……"
and Chico was like wait now hold on. Which kids. (bc he had 3 daughters and 3 sons and the sons were little hellions, all of them). And Miguel was like (innocent) "I can take the girls" and they were like "Yay! Uncguel!" and Chico was like Oh hell no... and put him in charge of the boys instead (who were like "yay! uncguel!" *start trying to hit him*)
And I wasted most of the rest of the dream trying to rewind on a scene to get a screenshot I could show you guys so unfortunately I did not actually watch the show and see what games they played 😔 but there was an interlude where I was googling videos recapping the show so I saw spoilers that were roughly translated like (for some reason the videos were all in douyin/Chinese gossip news format ):
“ヾ(｡✪ω✪｡)ｼ Aiyaaaa~~ don’t tell me you still haven’t heard about the Miguel and Chico ship! Two actors went on a reality show and fans noticed a strange tension in the room when they were left to wait along [insert clips of Miguel and Chico greeting cheerfully and then silence ensuing, Miguel’s awkward face]. Didn’t they not know each other? What was this strange atmosphere? Ohhh~ turns out they knew each other too well! In 1997, the two played rivals in the hit show Oz! [insert clips from the show and also clips decidedly NOT from the real show. shower fight and such**] Ohhh~ So that's how it was! No wonder they seemed awkward after meeting! It's not that they didn't know each other, it's that they knew each other too well! [insert clips of Miguel and Chico (on set/behind the scenes) joking around; Miguel talking at some press junket thing about what a great experience it was blah blah, joking about the director, blah blah, zoom on Chico watching on all soft-eyed); Miguel dragging Chico along briefly with a hand on the back of his neck 😛 as they squeeze by on some carpet to an event]"
**"Oz" clips in the Miguel/Chico montage that my brain made up for this dream:
Confrontation scene depicting their rivalry, set in the library, Chico leaning over Miguel where he sits, just getting suuuuper close as he threatens something (unfortunately it was a montage under the video so no audio)
Confrontation in the shower. yes, slippery Guerra; literally them just full on naked brawling trying to kill each other while everyone else is like trying to step out of the way lol. Probably due to my brain drawing on some visual references from Chico killing Jaime, he actually seemed to have the upperhand a little bit)(*nodding sagely* miguel's not a water-type fighter)
Post-truce hanging out in Em City in front of the TV, Miguel leaning over to talk to Chico, all laughing and whatnot (me in the dream was weirdly like "hey I recognise this scene from that other time!" <-- that other time being a dream I had a couple months ago)
Some kind of extended handshake scene that seemed more like hand holding?? My sense was that it took place in some episode after the finale (idk, like the show Oz ran longer in this? the post canon was canon?)
