And they adopted their daughter without a second thought and now she's wanted and loved and has a home forever and ever.

And everyone knows it.

Jack & Joke aside, Aran & Tattoo are the side couple I’m betting on~!

There’s something about the rich boy turned hopeless running to the arms of a poor boy who reluctantly takes him under his wings. Aran just wants love, and Tattoo, he just wants to reach the surface of poverty so he can live better with his mom. It’s another dynamic that almost mirrors Jack & Joke, but the difference is their personalities & the lifeline they built around the person they somehow met & chose to call home.

Aran may be a spoiled prince, but what he really wants is to be spoiled with affection money can’t buy. Tattoo may be poor af, selfish at times, but he has the ability to care for those he really deems close to his heart. And he’s learning that opportunities can arise, & he finally has friends that he can count on despite their hardships. And that, he & Aran can complete the puzzle piece called life&love. They have what each other needs & wants.

We also already saw them move a bit faster than Jack & Joke—although we don’t know the whole story as we only see glimpses of them and can only imply (i’m pretty sure they slept together). But you can tell there was a change from the first night Aran slept over to the most recent episode where they practically act like an awkward married couple (who had their newlywed night).

I just want Aran to find love & acceptance, one he lost when he lost his mother. In some ways, he & Joke are the same—always being rejected by their fathers. For Aran however, he has his mob boss dad who only has money in his mind & not once had he showed he ever had any love remaining for his only son. So Aran finds it in different ways, using money to gain the affection he desperately craves. And he’s ultimately still himself, & we can argue maybe his genuine self now that he’s away from the clutches of his father. And maybe he’ll find it in Tattoo & the rest of the little village. That he doesn’t need to flaunt money to gain love.

considering the true ridiculousness of that heist and how completely implausible every single thing they did was, the episode should have felt slower for me. usually i need a bit more than, waiter who is clearly not like the rest because he's in a literal mask and going in the entire wrong direction, to agree to suspension of disbelief. but even as i was thinking about how truly bad this heist was, it was still enjoyable and hit enough points of tension and had great pacing, and the overall episode felt like it went by in a flash.

but also,,, like, what is the point of it all????? it's not like the one ring. it can't actually do anything. rose's dad doesn't just lose his wealth and privilege because he lost this ring?? (if they do that i am going to both laugh and be so annoyed.) i truly do not understand, but i'm willing to play along because its a fun ride.

Yes I am making y’all choose between actual couples and the jokes (hah) that pop into my head.

[heretherebedork]

The boys in their colors and in their struggles and I love them all so much and I miss them every time they're not on screen.

[heretherebedork]

The crumbs of it all... they don't even get to be awake.

[heretherebedork]

The most beautiful princess in all the land.

Now he just needs to be kissed, okay?

[heretherebedork]

Saw this, was amused, instantly thought of @respectthepetty because they will be canon and it will be a gift, I can't wait.

[heretherebedork]

The secret smile! The amusement! The moment! Absolutely perfect. 1000% percent perfect. @respectthepetty Already adorable.

[heretherebedork]

I just really liked the little leg pat, okay?

Hope's little expression journey here when he remembers that Save is in debt to Boss (just like everyone else) and that's why he wants to keep their relationship secret, because Hope is an enforcer, a debt collector and, well, one of the cruelest ones. Yet Save obviously fell for him and wants to stay with him and it's so interesting to see.

It's even more fascinating to contrast Jack and Hope. Because we know Jack is regularly paying off everyone's debt while Hope isn't touching his boyfriend's but Jack and Hope both have items that are held to keep their loyalty and they're each fallen for someone struggling in a different way and it's just... oof.

And then we get into Arun and Tattoo which is the exact opposite of everyone else where Arun has no debt but a different kind of loyalty and Tattoo has nothing but debt and absolutely no loyalty and it's amazing and I cannot wait to see them develop. Because Arun has plenty of his own issues but he also has power that's different from anyone else is the show's, even Joke.

(They are all the dark boys, even if Arun is wearing white lace over his blackness, he has brightness but he has darkness at his core, the same way Hope has blackness outline his white shirt while Jack, oh Jack, has engulfed himself in the darkness as much as he can. @respectthepetty I love them all.)

[heretherebedork]

Do you think Arun and Tattoo will be the side couple? Do you also think maybe Hope and Hoy will be another? Like Hoy a good boy that he is and turning Hope into a good kid later on? 🤔

I am absolutely on the train for these two, though I wonder if Tattoo running away after paying off his debt is gonna keep them very sidelined for a bit or if we'll get more because of the specific stolen necklace. I see the vision here, though. They make sense.

As for Hope, though...

I think Hope and Save are in our future.

They haven't met on screen. They haven't even interacted.

But their names are perfect.

And how Save is in Jack's care and cynical while Hope seems to care for no one and is cynical and violent with no trust whatsoever? I love it.

This is Vibes Only, y'all.

Between this and 'I would hire you again' this relationship is off to a fantastic start. A+. Let's go.
