I'm sorry but, was no one going to tell me that Vegas is feeling Pete's pulse here ????
In case what I'm saying isn't that evident from the image, here's a gif of that moment too:
Do you see him slightly caressing Pete's cheek, after maneuvering his head to be up straight again, and then placing his index finger at the side of his neck? Do you also see him checking Pete's eyes as he's doing it, to see him looking away?
Well. I did yesterday and I haven't been normal since.
Now, it could very well be too high for him to find it and see if Pete's pulse is heightened due to his frustration by Vegas' comment, but even if that's the case, it's insane to me how Vegas proceeds to do this, a similar gesture to what he did here:
Here being, him trying to coerce Pete into having sex with him, which is his veiled attempt at redirecting his powerlessness into something that makes him feel like he has any sort of control over... anything really.
And here, he's doing it in an obvious manner too, he's looking at his hand as he's pressing his finger on Pete's neck and Pete knows it.
Was it the same way the second time? Did Pete feel Vegas' finger touch his neck, despite the turmoil he was in? Did he understand the implications of Vegas doing this again or did he misinterpret the whole thing?
It's insane to me how Vegas uses his methods of manipulation even when he's genuine, something the show clearly demonstrated by the parallels between how he treated Porsche and Pete (the lighter and the request to be killed by them).
I'm just in awe how subtly it was used here too, the smallest of details that I had missed the numerous times I've re-watched this scene.

sometimes i think about this one post that someone made where they said that everyone treats will in a special manner because he's a sensitive kid and that's why mike treats him differently, but it's just like... i mean. yeah. you're right lol. everyone does treat him differently precisely because of his sensitive and meek nature, but the person they're specifically thinking of is lucas.
lucas has a will voice and he certainly doesn't treat will like he does dustin or mike, BUT the difference between lucas and mike is that lucas never once treats will the way he treats max. he has never been written into a situation where dustin tells max that lucas is going to X, Y, and Z for her in no time, only to then cut to lucas going and immediately doing X, Y, and Z for will while max is somewhere waiting on him to finally figure out how to talk to her like a human being. max never once gets jealous of will or gets left behind for / switches places with will either. lucas treats will sweetly in an entirely platonic manner and he always has.
meanwhile, mike treats will sweetly in a way that other characters on the show–namely lucas and max–expect him to treat el. and the difference is further highlighted by how he does all of the right things for will, but never el, and certainly not without hand-holding explain like i'm five levels of guidance.
despite dating eleven, that treatment is solely reserved specifically for will. he always knows what to say, what to do, what will wants, and he feels comfortable enough with will to do it all with ease. and when he doesn't know, he still feels safe enough to work and talk through it with him rather than retreating to someone else and dishing all their problems to them instead of him.
none of that EVER happens between will and lucas or will and dustin. ever! they treat him differently, but not in a way that's similar to how they treat their girlfriends or are expected to treat their girlfriends.
like. there just really is no other relationship in the party that is written like mike and will's lol. lucas was willing to go to the gate himself to find will all on his own, proving that he most definitely loves will an extraordinary amount, but i feel like there's a CLEAR distinction made between all of those friendships which highlights which are platonic and which are not.
will was upset with both lucas and mike in season three, but there's a Reason he mostly blew up at mike and proceeded to go to castle byers after and tear a picture of them right down the middle while memories that start and end with mike's voice play in the background, and it's not just because will likes him.
will's behaviors have remained consistent and admiringly Normal, even with his larger than life feelings for mike, but mike's are always changing and clearly indicative of him struggling with Something that he's yet to tell anyone about in full. it's mike who couldn't juggle being with el and being friends with will at the same time. can the same be said for will and lucas? or will and dustin? obviously not.
