TL:DR. A rant about Gabe/Peter’s Tattoos

Whoever’s decision it was to leave Gabe’s tattoos on for Peter deserves all the happiness in the world okay! I’m not really a sleeve-tattoo kind of girl but I love Gabe’s so much!! It was the first thing that caught me onto the show when I saw someone made a Tiktok of it.

And! And it’s not the normal cop sleeve tattoo we normally see painted onto these guys yknow! It’s normally a cross, some skulls, flowers, Chinese/Japanese calligraphy etc. But Gabe’s is like a mandala blooming from the inside of his elbow and going up his biceps. There’s also some geometric triangles going down his forearms that reminded me of shark teeth motifs. (Like Jason Momoa’s)

Then theres the simple one at the top of his spine. Thats my favorite cuz it’s hidden most of the time. I hope it has meaning cuz it’s so cool.

I also like that they didn’t use it as like a thirst trap as much. There was the part where they showed the spine one in Ep1, but that’s mostly to show the scar (AND I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT SCAR) But for the rest of them, they were just there.

They painted Peter as this boyscout, never disobeying, never step a toe out of line. So the tattoo was something unexpected. But they don’t shove it into our faces. It was just all of a sudden there, in Ep6, when he got patched up by Rose. I LOVED that reveal.

Anyway, I love tattoos, if you can’t tell, and I love men with tattoos. So, sorry if this rant got long.

Ps: Im writing this as im writing a monster of a reader fic. Im almost done, so stay tuned lol.

Pps: check out my post after this one!! I mightve discovered that the scar. THAT SCAR, might be real also

i really should not have listened to the adventure zone for six hours straight before going to bed at 4 in the morning.

literally the entire f uckening time i was asleep at least one of the mcelroys was talking in my head. mostly it was griffin for some reason????????? every thing i did he was there. trying to watch the late show???? he was there. going to a con????? he was there. trying to watch patrick stump perform???????? he was there. i was so fucking tired of him by the end. where was justin. where was clint. where was travis. why was it just him.

this went on for six hours.

i finally woke up around ten and decided to go back to sleep and hopefully have more griffin-less dreams. which was successful at least.

it started off pretty normal. i was on vacation with my family and we stopped at an animal adoption place. except it was super tiny and they basically just had a front waiting area and the office/check-in-desk/place where they kept the animals was all the same? and they had these ENORMOUS dogs who were RIDICULOUSLY fluffy that kept jumping on to the desk where they had all of their records and everything and it was such a mess.

we decided to leave because it was so crowded and out back they had a pond where they were keeping a like...coral reef??? except it was also freshwater some how? and we were talking to the maintenance person and they were like “oh yeah we used to have hal the frog but we were doing some maintenance and then he messed up his job in the eco system so we dumped him” (what is this eco-captalism???).

and then my family were talking about going snorkeling in the pond while they were swimming in it???? idk where they changed or had those swim suits. and my mom was against it even though she was literally swimming in the pond??? i think my sister wanted to entire my dad in a drawing for the snorkeling

and i thought i saw dolphins but it was actually a group of tourists doing the snorkeling but they were doing it all in sync somehow??????

then we were in our living room and my mom was trying to convince my sister via a very plain (white background, black arial text) powerpoint to not enter my dad into the drawing, because in order to do so he had to enlist.

apparently my sister had a habit of entering my father into drawings that required that you join the military for such amazing prizes as a free sandwich from quiznos.

naturally my mother did not like this.

he hadn’t hadn’t been called to duty yet, but she was afraid.

then all of the sudden i turned into one of my ocs and i was eating dinner at a college dining hall. i was annoyed though because my mom (my real mom, mind you, not my ocs mom) had packed me cucumber salad to eat, which i absolutely hate. nevermind why my mom was packing me dinners, or how, but i didnt question it.

and then guess who sits next to me.

its morrissey.

and get this: he has his own cucumber salad, which he just happened to make. it was even the same recipe as mine.

we had grown up together in north carolina, apparently (even though he was well into his thirties at this point and we were in college). we went to the same schools. and he had been known for making “morrissey meals”. they were alternatives to the menus that the school cafeterias that you could eat if you didn’t like what they were serving. it was even on the official cafeteria calendars and everything!

he still annoyed me though.

after that i got up to leave and i ran into one of my other ocs, mei, and she was telling me to get ready for a halloween party. i didnt want to go because one of my friends was supposed to be there who id had a fight with recently but i went anyways because she told me too.

it was storming really hard outside too. there wasnt any thunder or lightning but it was raining heavily and the wind was so strong that you could see the rain was slanted.

i went inside to my “dorm” which was really nicely decorated. it looked like the interior of like...hogwarts or cambridge or university of chicago or something like that.

anyways i went in they were holding some sort of ritual initiation for a fraternity or something in the common area (it looked like a dining room??? idk it definitely wasnt a traditional dorm) and they had hoods and dramatic candlelight and everything.

anyways we ignored them and i went into my room to get changed.

and my room was really weird too. it was an l-shaped corner room, and it had three people in it including me. there were two “levels” with the second level just being one step above the other. the divide between the levels was diagonal across from the door, but it was only on the side that had my bed. 

here’s the floorplan: 

the room was a mess and one of my roommates was there and he was being super annoying. he was trying to convince me to go to the party even though i was alread going.

the whole time the dream kept switching to another scene like a movie. but that scene was just gabe saporta playing d&d with his friends.

and then i woke up. the plot was never resolved. what was gonna happen at the party. how would gabe’s campaign turn out. would my father be drafted. would my mother ever stop giving me that cucumber salad which i hated so much. would morrissey be caught by the health department. would the other mcelroys ever return. ill never know.
