This month ended up being way too busy so I didn't have any time to work on anything MerMay related. That being said, I decided to post this art from last year of Peter and Elizabeth as merfolk, a continuation of my WC Mer Au musings.

Stop it, Neal. - White Collar rewatch (147/?) 6x06 Au Revoir

[tiny-bird-of-sunshine]

Sometimes I think Neal is Peter’s only friend.

Like we never hear him say “I’m gonna throw the ball around with Chad” or “I’m gonna grab a cold one with Jason.” (What are these names lol)

Two things that contribute to this is:

(1) He’s a wife guy and yes, fellas, your wife can and should be your best friend. I firmly believe he loves hanging out with El and just wants to be around her all the time. And I love that for him ☺️

(2) He’s a bit of a workaholic. Like, yes, he has hobbies and some downtime. But it’s pretty clear he loves his job. And I get the impression that he doesn’t take time off for vacation unless it’s for El. He’ll even go to work sick!

Now, I’m not saying he doesn’t have work friends. Obviously, he knows people in his line of work. Diana and Jones are his main guys and I like to believe that they go get a celebratory drink every now and then. They’ve even been to his house on occasion and not just for work. So they’re technically his friends. And Hughes too! I don’t want to talk about Kramer 🙃(Also he and El mention neighbors sometimes but I get the feeling they’re aren’t close to them. And again I bring up the fact that we know very little of his family.)

Also he tolerates Moz, and the two of them make a very interesting dynamic lol.

But close friends? Nah, I think it’s just Neal. 😏

Like, yes, he’s distrustful by nature so he’s always checking up on Neal. But sometimes I think he gets bored and wants to stir the pot.

But he’s Peter. So he’s not gonna just come out and say “hey, buddy, want to get drinks?” Or “want to catch a movie sometime?”

No he’s gonna burst through the door and be like “hey, commit any crimes lately???”

No: “whatcha doing? UwU”. It’s: “I’ve noticed you walked around this area a couple times. Thinking of casing a joint?”

(He usually shows up because he thinks Neal’s up to something or is about to do something stupid. Which fair enough. Both are true most of the time 🤣)

But bruh just ask to hang out. You don’t have to make up an excuse to “check up on your mischievous C.I”. Just admit you’re lonely and bored like the rest of us 😂😂

Why don’t you go up to June and ask if Neal can come out and play? Why do you have to accuse him of something??😂😂

(I know he’s invited Neal to come over for dinner before but I think we know, El’s the one who invited him lol. or he has a specific agenda in mind)

I have to believe that they genuinely enjoy each other’s company and hang out like real friends do. (They did play catch together after all) And to be fair, half the time they’re “working”, they’re really “playing”. 😂 But they have some genuine moments off duty too.

I mean who does he get relationship advice from? Neal.

Oh no! El’s in-laws are coming in to town. Who does he complain to? Neal.

He opens up to Neal about his past playing baseball and what it meant to him, something I feel he probably doesn’t mention to just anyone. (I could go on but I think I made my point)

In conclusion, Neal is Peter’s best friend. (This is nothing new as it is canonically stated by Peter himself that Neal is his friend….BUT HES ALSO HIS BEST FRIEND, you feel me?)

rewatching the white collar episode controlling interest (aka the best episode) and godddd the whole therapy session with dr. summers makes me insane.

"your behavior is sociopathic. you work on perception, perception of others, how you think they'll feel. This influences your actions and thoughts more than your own emotions. deceit and manipulation are the essential characteristics of this disorder, you excel at both of them." "deceit and manipulation are generalities, they can apply to anyone who lies, and everyone lies, including you dr summers." "that may be true but not everyone believes their own lies." "why would i delude myself?" "because you don't want anyone to see your vulnerabilities."

gnawing on my own arm over this. like ok i know she's evil and all that but kjsghfd her straight up pointing out this huge aspect of his character that most of the show completely brushes over (yes i know the show is meant to be more of a witty comedic kinda procedural and the emotional stuff isn't the focus but :') i do wish it went a little deeper sometimes).

we so rarely see neal expressing his genuine emotions because he is so intently focused on the image he's presenting to other people, and so uncomfortable (terrified of?) feeling anything. even in the romantic relationships he has during the show, he keeps his walls up (after kate at least), and we really only see him visibly distressed around peter and mozzie.

he just keeps that charming smile on his face 24/7, and he really is deluding himself by refusing to acknowledge his emotions. how many people has he seen die? the love of his life was blown up just meters from him. he's been shot, kidnapped, beaten. he grew up in witsec, neglected and clinging to a lie that basically destroyed him. he can smile all he wants, but those things can't be erased, just covered up with more lies.

“You know Mozzie is an orphan. An orphan's gonna wonder about his parents, so he imagined they were spies. Occasionally, something happens that triggers Mozzie to revisit his childhood. When Ellen told me my Dad was corrupted, I ran from the truth and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Mozzie tells himself these stories to maintain his faith in the world. His faith, however limited, is all that separates a man with a conscience from a man without one.”

But I got to say, this has been more fun than a prison sentence has any right to be. - White Collar rewatch (144/?) 6x05 Whack-a-mole

WHITE COLLAR FINALE SPOILERS

The way I immediately tear up watching the finale. All the little callbacks and references to the pilot. Neal saying his “goodbyes” to everyone even if they don’t know it at the time. Watching him and Peter working together on a case for the last time. All while knowing what’s to come 🥺🥺

“You’re my best friend.” 😖😖😖

Peter’s “you’re free.” Mozzie’s breakdown in the morgue.

The flashes of Neal are just CRUEL. 😭😭😖😖

Peter seeing Neal everywhere but he’s never really there. Mozzie hearing Neal’s laugh in the honk of a taxi.

THE FACT THAT THEY NAMED THE BABY NEAL. 😭😭😭😭

Peter finding the storage container and realizing Neal is alive and in France. 🥹🥹

The smile on his face. And the suggestion that maybe this isn’t the end. That maybe their story will continue on. 🥹🥹

GAHHHH MY HEART😭😭
