Re: Secrets you don't want to make...
(Anonymous) 2022-07-23 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)Fandom: KinnPorsche
I don't mind VegasPete. I even LIKE them (and their chemistry) on screen. I'm avoiding their fandom like the plague. The whole show fandom has reached the size that makes a fandom not fun to me at this point (I'm just looking at gif sets and meta by the few people I trust), but this particular part of it is so aggressive in their stanning it makes me enjoy the show less when I rewatch.

(Anonymous) 2022-07-24 02:07 am (UTC)(link)A lot of the VegasPete fans seem to have internalized the same jealousy and rivalry that Vegas has for Kinn. They seem to think they have to tear KinnPorsche down to bring VegasPete up. I DON'T like VegasPete and don't think they have good chemistry, but SALS and all that. It's a shame they can't do the same.
Re: Secrets you don't want to make...
(Anonymous) 2022-07-24 07:48 am (UTC)(link)See, I was quite excited for them in the beginning and liked them and now I can't tell anymore if it's the fandom that makes me fastforward their scenes on rewatch or if I genuinely don't 100% get it?
(I also am very confused by the whole "Pete is the only one who SEES him" cause I'm pretty sure Porsche was never anything but nice and honest with Vegas and would have totally understood the abuse backstory, too... like, Vegas totally could have had a friend there if he'd wanted one? But suddenly Pete sympathising is super unique?)
Re: Secrets you don't want to make...
(Anonymous) 2022-07-24 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)I think the fans have gotten so caught up in it that they're forcing their headcannon onto the show. Pete isn't the only one who sees him, Pete is the only one who sees him AND can meet him there. Pete was the only one who watched Vegas torture without flinching (and was totally into it, methinks). Porsche is def too gentle for that, for all that he kills a lot of people (and gets dommed on the reg by Kinn).
My problem with them was completely the acting. It looked to me like Pete was mostly just being a therapist. I kept thinking during their scenes that I can see why Vegas likes Pete and I can see Vegas being attracted to Pete, but I can't figure out why Pete stays with Vegas. He doesn't act like he's attracted to VEGAS at all (maaaybe attracted to Vegas' violence).
It's kind of ironic that the (legally speaking) non-con between Kinn and Porsche was more gentle, romantic, and heartfelt from both of them than the completely con first time between Pete and Vegas. I couldn't help but feel that Pete wasn't really into the sex part of their relationship; it felt way more non-con than the actual one between K/P.
I think the actors need some more time with the intimacy coordinator.
