talks about my own damn post in your inbox i guess but i think a good part of the bros' trusting peppino is like. pizzahead can so easily buy out or win over basically anyone who stands against him and peppino is like the ONE guy they knew for sure that wasn't gonna happen with. he might not have cared/known about their plight, but he also didn't seem to have any ulterior motives that would make their lives more hell if he got the treasures, so that was...really as much as they could ask for given the circumstances

I like the idea of this 🤔 Like maybe there were other people theyve seen immediately take the money, like randos but also some of the bosses. So their only hope was someone who wasnt going to be talked or bribed into leaving this tower alone. I can see ph still trying to buy his way into peppinos restaurant, even towards the end…like ouuuh…fat and rude italian man…i dont HAVE to explode this shop, i can just buy it 🥺🥺🥺 please let me buy it 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 pwease…..🥺 and peppino is so fucking determined to just smash everything into oblivion that that simply isnt an acceptable offer. Get ur ass beat. That is the only acceptable offer. And u know what? John will definitely put the small amount of faith he has in this man bc of it.

#answered #chattin #peppino #pillar bros #my thots are like…#gerome has loads more faith and optimism #and whatever hangups he had about peppino is immediately thrown away by the end of the first stage #whereas. i think of john w very little hope. afterall HE is the person falling apart at the seams. not gerome #and he would be a little offput that someone supposedly here to ‘save’ him is in it for his own reasons (reminds him of ph)#hes a lot more hopeful by the vigilante fight #and hes more or less patiently waiting for everything to come down by the final floor #(as opposed to waiting around; extremely hopeless and aimless)#and it is just so funny to me to have peppino be a hero in ANY way #he doesnt think of himself as one; and john certainly doesnt think of him as one #but he is exactly what they needed; a middle aged man swimmin in so much debt #that they would risk going into this fucking tower and kill themselves bc they only have one thing to lose #and its this fucking shop ph is threatening to obliterate #john just sittin there like. huh. i guess it makes sense. who else would be stupid enough to come here??#‘pizzahead.’ ‘well u are not wrong about that’
