Style be like: originally I was just in this for the car but you have awakened some things within me and now I am obsessed with you

[secriden]

It’s the way that Fadel was able to be unconscious and vulnerable like this -- with his waist half pinned by one of Style's thighs as his other leg is likely tangled with Fadel's under the blankets -- in an unfamiliar space and showed absolutely no evidence of being troubled or startled or fearful in the situation.

It’s the way that before he even blinks himself into semi-coherent consciousness, Fadel is already running his hand gently up and down Style's calf and knee, touching him in a way that shows such thoughtless familiarity and easy comfort with the warmth of Style's skin.

It’s the way that Fadel processes whose bed he's in, the fact that he stayed the night (and all the implications of that choice), and calls his name (for the first time!!!) with zero evidence of any internal conflict about the situation.

This is a man who we know locks his own bedroom door to keep everyone and anyone out, including his own baby brother. A man who appears to attend a support group with regimented regularity, but who we have yet to see actually say anything at said group. A trained assassin, a meticulous planner, and someone given to caution and suspicion before just about anything else. Someone who has spent years operating outside the law and successfully evaded detection because, in part, of his ability to see the warning signs and get himself out of dangerous situations before they escalate.

Only he missed the warning signs this time (because they weren't actually there) and when Style said "One day, I'll be your 100%," neither of them understood that those words were already true. Because the way Fadel woke up that morning -- half underneath the spread of Style's body and utterly content -- told us that Fadel's heart was already completely won.

Which is why Fadel is left with nothing but tears and an aching heart in this moment. Because Style is already behind his walls, already part of the very fabric of his soul, and to unleash his anger on Style now would be the same as plunging a knife into his very own chest.

I am your brother. I trust you more than anyone. And you did that to me? How could you? I just wanted to see you happy. I wanted to see you in love with someone. Is that wrong? Well, look around! Look what love does to you. I don’t need anyone to tell me how to live my life. I was happy.

[delusionalblfan]

for sure Fadel is only checking if the piece of burguer that flew while he was grilling meat and hit Style's chest left any burn mark. the professional man that knows his limits would never fuck someone on the counter of his own professional kitchen...and with his gloves still on? never. it's not even a kink. and Style isn't his type. he would never repeat any type of sexual act with him again. for sure the first one was ew and a way to keep Style away because of how ew it was. and he is ripping his shirt so he will have faster access to the wound. it's not because he is aroused and has been thinking about it and jerking off every single night while imagining all the things he could do to him. and he would never lose all of his control. never ever. i get Fadel. i can read him like a book

[fadelbison]

one of the things that I loved about the fadelstyle stalker date was that despite all of the conflict, style seemed to be the first person that showed an interest in fadel's life - like a genuine hey are you having a good time with your activities level of interest.

He showed up to the restaurant to watch him prep and make commentary. Fadel went all brooding and knife-ey on him sure but we dont see him pull out those biceps that we already know can drag style out.

He calls him chef and helps him out, doing exactly the job that we see Bison abandon earlier in the episode - when was the last time someone made fadel feel like he was something other than a cold blooded killer?

And then you remember that style and fadel have already had this heartbreaking interaction in episode 1

[Screenshots from Ep1 of Style asking Fadel "You do everything yourself?" and Fadel responding "I do."]

I was never convinced that that interaction was just about the heartburgers management for fadel lol

style is going to figure out they're assassins, style tries to backtrack from the car deal when kant agrees. i think asking for the car was style's way of refusing that favor but when kant agrees he gets curious or really starts believing that kant is in love.

style is probably the most intelligent of the four but he's definitely the most emotionally intelligent of the four though it's masked by his carefree personality - and he has figured out for better or for worse that fadel is lonely, desperately so.

style asks for a list of things that fadel likes doing and the best bison comes up with is his schedule which is exactly the same everyday but bison doesn't even know. and style makes it work. he tries to create intimacy at the burger shop in ep1 with fadel and it fails and when he's handed a schedule that is 70% fadel either prepping for or being at the burger shop, style comes back with companionship on offer.

when bison said fadel's insides need a beating, style correctly interprets it as put that man through the mortifying ordeal of being known and he really does it in a way that's not random. The random method failed so now he's trying to understand fadel, something that fadel hasn't experienced in a long time if he ever has.

And the cookie crumbles in less than a day. fadel should feel some embarassment for how easy it was?

look at fadel - he's confused. error 404 not found expression on a man if i've ever seen one. there are no internal protocols of handling this situation, so for the first time he has to rely on his instincts, instincts that were forced into ignoring and mistrusting this sort of stimulus.

fadel simply wants. the comeback of what he thought his long, dead desire (bison is the only person he's convinced himself he needs!!) and those hardened, survival instincts are at odds, and the struggle to push that impulse away, to jerk off angrily in the hopes its flushed out of his system - oh fadel i love that you're so un-normal about this.

style sets the challenge in the pursuit of fadel for himself in a way. despite having almost no information and this probably being a slightly hyperbolic statement style has surmised the stakes of this mission much better than even kant has.

style has him and im fairly certain style knows he has him...if he wants him. you've thrown your own gauntlet style so just how far are you going to go to meet that challenge?

just woke up in a cold sweat because i think i’ve realized exactly what all the fucking religious symbolism is actually pointing out and like hoooooly shit. holy shit.

the fact that bison wears a jesus shirt in his fantasies of killing kant has been nagging me since the moment i realized it and i think i’ve realized why it is - and the reason for all of the things pointing towards and symbolizing bison as jesus.

it’s because that’s how bison views himself. not as actually jesus and the second coming, no, but he views himself as righteous, as a reckoning for all these people that they kill. he believes their mother when he says they only kill bad people, and that’s why he gets so much enjoyment out of it, why he involves himself far more in it than fadel, who always detaches himself. it’s why he delights in the idea of killing kant now, fantasizes about it, because he thinks that’s what’s right. kant betrayed him, and he’s a good person. he’s righteous. so that means kant deserves to die for it.

and that’s why kant is judas the betrayer AND john the beloved. because when bison knows it’s coming and turns a blind eye, he views himself the same way as jesus turning a blind eye to judas’s betrayal. and he’s the one the makes kant into john the beloved finding the tomb empty first because he hides from him (notably after kant had confessed to not wanting to lie to bison anymore)!

bison views himself as righteous. as jesus.

but he’s not. because jesus would never take joy in killing anyone. jesus would never have fun with it, in the same way bison does. and even if he did, jesus wouldn’t want to stop to date.

but you know who doesn’t take joy in any of it? who detaches himself from it? who seems, in the very least, suspicious of their mother?

you know who’s birthday is on christmas?

fadel. and if fadel is jesus… then bison can’t be. actually, i think that might make bison far closer to judas the betrayer. and that’s just awfully poetic, isn’t it? because didn’t judas think he was doing the right thing, too, when he sold jesus out? when he took money in exchange for telling the soldiers which one jesus was? just like bison thought he was doing the right thing when he told kant to get fadel off his back. just like he exchanged his brother for a lover and took them both down in the process.

One thing I absolutely love about this series is how good the main cast is acting with their eyes and their subtle microexpressions.

You can see the shifts and different emotions so clearly!!

For example:

Joong's eyes (and eyebrows) making the grumpy and passive faces, but also the soft and a bit curious looks with Style only (can't wait to see more of his smitten look that he excels at).

Khaotung's innocent, cute and observing faces, but also the truly scary and insane look in his eyes when Bison gets angry.

Dunk's flirty and provoking eyes, but also the fear, guilt and genuineness we saw in episodes 4 and 5.

First's flirty heart eyes, but also the panicked smiles, his guilty face and the terrified look when Kant realizes how dangerous Bison actually is. (Poor guy looked like he's going to cry when his mouth was covered.)

[armandluvrrr]

Can we talk about how the lilly actress nails her role? She's so sinister. She walks with an aura of unspeakable evil about her. That's a woman who is always planning something heinous. She will say one thing with that deceptively sweet and soft voice but the meaning behind her words is always clear. "I own you. I can end you when I want." I'm pretty sure she told Keen if there's any dating going on then someone is dying. Like chills. Literal chills. The way she's always touching Fadel and Bison as a silent but obvious way to assert her power over them?? To the rest of the world they might be mad dogs, killing machines to steer clear of but to her they're just domesticated puppies. She's so sure that she has defanged them she can play with them the way she wants and they won't even think to bite. This performance needs to be acknowledged. That's #MOTHER. Sure it's mother Gothel but still. Mother

Rewatching the Fadelstyle parts, and they were always hilarious to me, but it's even funnier after seeing how dominant Fadel is. Like, he's clearly been deprived of D/s for a while(blah blah hard for kinky people blah blah if you're a follower you've heard it all before), and here's this hot bratty sub right in front of him clearly begging to be dominated, and Fadel feels like he can't do a damn thing about it, so he's just standing there repressing every instinct within him, hardly able to even move, and then said bratty sub puts Fadel's hand on his fucking neck and honestly the fact that Fadel didn't take advantage of that moment shows a great deal of emotional strength. It's funny and it's sad and it's personally moving all at once and AGH I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY AND KINKY TOGETHER IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK???? 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[secriden]

Warning: this post contains a depiction of BDSM and the way power-play can and often does work on multiple levels and how in a healthy dynamic the sub ultimately has the final say and true control.

Bonus:

And the way Style keeps trying to coax Fadel away from his current life without giving himself away? Why don't you find a new job that lets you love? You don't have to live someone else's life. And so on. The way he tells Kant he's getting kinda attached to Fadel (at least in the subs), but when he's talking to Fadel like this, you know it's more. Because he's trying to steer Fadel to a life where they can be together. No obstacles. No danger.

But he can't say 'please stop killing people because I'm worried about you and I want to be with you' and he can't warn Fadel about the police because, as open as he's being emotionally, now, he's still scared and conflicted

And then, when Fadel tries to reassure him, because he's working toward a life free of danger where they can be together, it doesn't help because Style still knows what Fadel doesn't (again), and I love that play between the one who knows being the one who feels off-kilter, and the one in the dark—though he thinks he isn't—being the one who feels like he's on solid ground

And then it's flipped again at the end! He's so happy to finally see Fadel again, and I don't think he thinks they're home free or anything, but he is happy and he looks relieved. But then Fadel is told Style and Kant are the snitches and now he's one step ahead. He's the one who knows the thing keeping them apart. And it reminds me of that tit for tat they had in their early encounters, where they were always one-upping each other, but now the stakes are higher and the angst is angsting and it's so gooooooood and ugh!!!!

Anyway, this is a mess, and I'm honestly not sure where I intended to go with it, but I'm just really enjoying the writing and the acting and everything in this show

[joongdunking]

One minute of pain with Fadel 💔

Not him confessing and kissing Style after knowing the truth.... 😢 While Style is just being happily in love...

Look at Fadel hugging Style tighter when he could no longer hold back his tears..... I'm broken 💔💔💔

And the fact that Style will probably never know Fadel cried at this very moment......
