this to me was the best tanfang scene in the whole show and nothing else comes close. we get to see tan isn't actually clutching his pearls anytime fang is outspoken about his feelings, he actually seems just as used to hearing it as fang is to hearing tan proclaim his love. and that is because to tan every little gesture or act of love fang shows is just as clear as shouting it from the rooftops. he is used to being adored. back when fang called him "babe" he had a bigger reaction cause it's something out of the ordinary but expressing gratitude and being direct doesn't bring anything close to surprise. partially because the situation is more serious so tan is choosing what to give big reactions to more carefully but mostly because none of this information is new to him, it's just spelled out.
i like fang's vulnerability and the way he wishes for phum what he has with tan. I think there might have been a moment where he felt guilt for having this support when his brother didn't, maybe that's somehow related to why he didn't start dating tan back in hs. and maybe that night at the bar he saw phum with peem and felt better about going home with tan.
we see these two constantly grow in their relationship and their love for each other continuously blossoming. the ending where ran pushed for fang to be louder, fang did comply (and confirmed hes just shy and not embarrassed by tan since there was literally no one there); he was quick to tease tan back as usual but forgot tan would actually broadcast his love on national television if possible.. they're just both so unapologetically themselves, tan as an unwavering pillar and fang as the quiet lover
it means so much that even after all of That, nandor still trusts guillermo. he trusted him not to kill him by holding a stake to his own neck, last week he told the baron he trusted guillermo and even after all this, that remains true
gojo would kill your work husband. but if he were the work husband, that's a different story
REAL!! he’s such a hypocrite because if someone mentioned you had a work husband, his entire world would stop and he wold devise the absolute worst plans to make sure that your co-worker, everyone at your job, and everyone in the next building over knew that he was happily committed to you
but if he is the work husband, he’s very........ dutiful in his role. there’s a loose office/lawyer au in my head where satoru is your secretary, and for all intents and purposes, your personal assistant, and he’s good at his job, but mostly because he considers his job to be pleasing you. he has coffee for you when you arrive, he moves your schedule around without you asking, he has answers to questions before you can even ask them, he has fresh flowers on your desk weekly, pokes into your meetings to pretend to hand you a file that’s really just maybe a single document in a manilla folder with candy on top of it—he’s made himself your business, your partner; he’s made himself irreplaceable, and he loves to remind everybody of that fact.
he’s also extremely loyal. sure, he could day a week’s worth of work done in about a day, but that doesn’t mean he’ll just use his talents for anybody. he’s your secretary, so he’s at your beck and call, and everyone knows it. they know he’s the best, but also that he’s off limits—not because you won’t share him, but because satoru won’t let himself be shared.
he also extends his duties beyond work, of course. when he hands you a print out of your schedule for the day and you’re confused by the three-hour block of time you have in the middle of the day, satoru just helps you shrug your coat of your shoulders and smiles, “that’s for the lunch date you have with me, of course!” hanging up your coat in your closet for you, “i’m paying, see you soon, sweets.” and because you’re great at your job, and satoru helps you be great, nobody really questions when the two of you have time for a 13-course tasting menu at 1pm on a tuesday afternoon. and if they did, all satoru would say that you two had a lovely date
DAVE: ok so this is probably going to come as a shock to you
JADE: youre dying your hair?
DAVE: what

DAVE: ok well
DAVE: basically
DAVE: i havent told anyone else this first of all you get to be the first to know
JADE: :0
DAVE: partially because i think rose might already know and be smug about it if i tell her
DAVE: and partially because youre my friend and maybe i want to make things between us super weird forever by telling you
DAVE: not that i want shit to be weird forever i just wanted you to know a thing and itll probably just make shit weird forever like you know the very basics of cause and effect and im like one of those toddlers that hasnt quite come to grasp with consequences yet
JADE: what is it??
DAVE: basically
DAVE: shit
DAVE: do you ever think you know a thing about yourself and so then you never ever have to think about it again because yeah we got that one clocked and locked chief we never have to examine that ever again now
DAVE: but then it turns out that oh shit maybe we didnt actually know shit about fuck and theres a leak in the goddamn brig and now this whole shop is gonna fucking sink unless someone redefines your entire personality right the fuck now
JADE: …
DAVE: i think im gay
JADE: ohhh...
JADE: yeah i kind of knew that dumbass :P
DAVE: what how
DAVE: did your fucking magic clouds tell you that bullshit too
DAVE: were they drawing suspiciously phallic shapes above my sleeping head in a really obvious infographic about teenage repression
JADE: no
JADE: well um… do you remember davesprite
DAVE: vaguely
sorry to witcherpost in 2023 but there is something about geralt and jaskier in s1 that is soooooo important to me like. the energy of. you're the only one in the bar who didn't throw things at me. I know the feeling. I want the world to love you. I don't need it to. you could have anyone, and do, why would you come back to me. who could I ever find that would be worth half of you. they think I'm a monster. I've seen you at your most human. I could hurt you. you would never. i need no one and the last thing i want is anyone needing me. and yet here we are. we could run away together find out what pleases us. I can't go with you. everything you do to push me away makes me want to hold you closer. we're on the run from something intangible and it's easier if we run together. I don't want you here. what would you do without me. do you get it?
let’s talk about the Old Moons death hmm? that sound nice Sun? i bet it doesnt. you didnt deserve him in the first place anyway. you killed your twin. you dont deserve him. fucking idiot.
-your least favorite anon!! :P (Drug anon)
[Sun... has left the room. Please give him a moment.]
It's just a hallucination- you're just hallucinating again. It's not real but you know it's true.
