at first glance peter burke is really just an incredibly average guy who has somehow gotten the attention of an absolutely amazing and incredibly talented wife with amazing taste and a best friend who's a world-class artist, forger, and con man

and then you realize he's done that through having more tenacity, determination, and loyalty than his golden retriever

one of the funniest things about the small but very real white collar fandom is that there’s a split right down the middle where half the fandom adamantly believes that Peter is Neal’s dad, and half the fandom swears that Peter is Neal’s bi poly boyfriend. and neither of them are really wrong????

watching the s1 finale of white collar...knowing the plane was gonna blow up behind them…fully expecting the plane to blow up behind them…still getting caught up in whatever the fuck was happening between neal and peter and jumping when the plane did in fact blow up behind them

scene from the white collar reboot just leaked

early season 1 peter and neal are so special to me. neal caffrey’s formed a parasocial relationship with the fbi agent relentlessly pursuing him around the globe but lucky for him peter is just as on board with their best friendship

neal: my girlfriend broke up with me :(

peter, holding handcuffs and a warrant for neal’s arrest: aw im sorry buddy.

bonus points if they're absolutely pathetic

peter burke is so funny bc he’s a completely normal guy except he’s been obsessed with two people to a point of stalking (his wife and the conman he chased for years) but it’s fine bc they’re just as obsessed with him 😭???

my favorite dynamic is a wife and husband who love each other very much and their boy toy

[bi-caffrey]

when peter's mad at neal and when peter's the maddest he's ever been at neal and when hagen takes the bullet and when peter protects neal and when peter's hand stays on neal's shoulder...(even though he's still so mad...)

that's all.

one of my favorite things about El is that she comes off like the sensible oh honey wife but given half an excuse she is exactly as likely as any hardened thief to break into the neighbor's upstairs room and then need to be coached through picking the locked door by Neal . and then they sit there on the couch together while Peter goes lecture mode and defend each other indignantly and they have been like this since the very first episode when he comes downstairs and they both look up bigeyes at him like hiiiiiii . she's not Neal But Woman though she's many things he absolutely isn't but not one of them is Too Sensible Mom Friend . she is tolerant but not naive, she looks not at the letter of actions but at the intent behind them and always factors that in, and she IS ready to go on a con at a moment's notice because running an apparently very prosperous event business isn't introducing enough complexity into her life

why is NOBODY capable of being normal about neal caffrey. he's everybody's blorbo

[bi-caffrey]

no but like literally neal caffrey is soooo autism i know this. special interest: human socialization (also the art/forgery stuff that's a later post). he does not socialize normally; he socializes like somebody who figured out alllll the rules and tricks

[bi-caffrey]

everyone is such a wet blanket to neal about all of the thefts and the heists and the cons and the grifts it's so mean god forbid gay people have hobbies

[bi-caffrey]

The more I think about it, Neal’s final con of faking his death was definitely just a huge thing in order to get Peter and Elizabeth to name their kid after him

Just started watching white collar and fuck guys, the energy on this. I love it already.
