Before Pit Babe: Ah, yes, the vroom vroom show shall begin soon.

After the First Episode: Vroom vroom show is also omegaverse?! WELL THEN.

A Few More Episodes Later: Wait a second... the vroom vroom live action omegaverse show is filled with heart and an interesting take on trauma and toxic masculinity and wait a second his sexy nickname is mama.

Episode 8-10: The vroom vroom show is a show about love and grief and learning about yourself and realizing that you can be loved and loved and build a family and build a home and how it feels to have that torn away but also how it feels to have to leave to save the future and the agony of loss and the fear that you can never be loved, that you will always be too much only to realize that the grief of your loss is enough to break people and, yes, his nickname is mama and he deserves that love and family.

I really appreciate the way this show is using their sex scenes/almost sex scenes.

There is such a huge contrast between Ming summoning Joe to an impersonal location, ordering him to shower before he touches him and then immediately turning Joe around so he can't see his face. All the while Joe is telling himself he just has to do it, because him and his mom need this money.

Versus Ming recreating the night they met (meanwhile saying virtually nothing and letting the memories do the heavy lifting), kissing Joe in the same spot where they had their first kiss, walking him through the house while being glued to him, no shower required btw, in fact the dirtier the better. And staring him directly in the face as he takes his pants off.

While Joe responds enthusiastically, ripping his own clothes off while thinking about how he still has feelings for Ming. Those are two wildly different situations.

As silly as the whole sneeze thing seems, I appreciate that they still gave the situation around it the attention and seriousness it deserves. I'm glad that they made this a moment that was clearly not a contracted obligation, it was a successful seduction.

Had Ming not been right then none of this would have mattered to Joe. But as soon as he rounds that corner and sees his own car he's pulled back into the memory of how they started and what it was like to fall in love with Ming.

That's so clever on Ming's part because this only works as a seduction if he's right and this is his Joe. Like, he got that sneeze by reminding Joe that they were both hooked from the start in their own ways. He wanted Joe so worked up that he didn't think for a second about what that sneeze might tell the man railing him into next week.

And like... it worked. So props to Ming and his powers of dicknotization (am I spelling that right?) he fucked Joe so good he drew a sneeze from his soul. Congrats to the both of you on that one tbh anyway this show is the shit and I'm having a lot of fun watching it.

Ming straight up convinced Tong that New Joe was the perfect stand in, followed Joe and cornered him in the dressing room just to ask Tong to write him a role into the movie (something he had outright refused up to this point even though Tong had clearly been trying and is delighted to use Ming for the clout and attention his presence in the movie will bring) all while trying to make eye contact with Joe, who is clearly panicking at the now unavoidable proximity and the clear fact that Ming orchestrated this with intent. Like... that is deliciously toxic. I said what I said. I'm an adult and this is fiction. And that is the exact level of obsession and possession that hits that sweet spot for me.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't kinda obsessed with the moments right after they have sex where Ming is basking in the realization that this really is Joe. He kisses his shoulder, he stares at his face... he holds him. Because this might not be the face (or back) he fell in love with but it's still the same heart, the same soul, the same boy. This is the moment he's been praying for. He knows without a shadow of a boubt that this is Joe, the Joe he has been waiting at that table for and he looks like the weight of the world just got lifted off his shoulders.
