According to a recent report published by the Aargauer Zeitung (h/t Golem.de), around three million smart toothbrushes have been infected by hackers and enslaved into botnets.

The most cyberpunk thing on your dash today.

Bad news guys it appears my braincells are starting to resurface after being on standby mode since saturday so i'm going to try stringing some words together. Sorry in advance.

(10 image upload limit, my beloathed)

I've talked before about how much Vegas enjoys Pete's defiance, it's something that fascinates him and something he goads Pete into showing him more often. Food is a particular point of contention. Vegas uses food as a humiliation tactic and Pete responds by rejecting it, multiple times.

The line above kind of confused me on first watch but now with the benefit of comparison it makes sense. Not eating isn't a choice because it's a non-action, it's passive. Pete is resisting Vegas's dehumanisation attempts by retaining his agency in this one small area, something Vegas literally can't force him to do.

Anyway, fast forward

Pete's confession had to come at this time. This is the most equal he and Vegas have ever been: Not only have they been through so much together, but Pete is no longer a bodyguard of the main family. Vegas is no longer heir to the minor family. They are just Vegas and Pete ("Just you and me").

And this Pete is choosing Vegas. You know I love how the show handled episode 12 to make it 100% clear that Pete chose to go back to Vegas, chose to kiss him, handed him the ropes and I don't want to discredit any of that. But we know from Pete's reaction in ep 13 that the whole situation was (unsurprisingly) a real mindfuck for him, one that it's taken until this point for him to unravel.

And the conclusion that he's come to is that he's hungry now. Not only that he's willing to take whatever Vegas will give him, but he desires it. Even further than that: he needs it, it's as necessary to him as food. He's gone from passive non-action (refusing food) to active (hungry for it). And not only just the act of being hungry, but the act of stating it, making his desires known, putting them out into the world, begging Vegas to satiate them. And that is what Vegas responds to.

(someone give Build an award because I tear up just looking at the still images)

There's just so much here. Like before when he stayed on his knees, he's (actively) casting himself in a submissive role. And not just submissive but dependent, no it can't be anyone else but Vegas. No-one else can give him what he needs.

"I'm your pet, aren't I?" you made me need you, cracked me open and discovered this desire, you need to take responsibility now. "So I had to come find my owner" Not just wanted to, he had to. Again he is assigning roles, making them real and tangible by speaking them, telling Vegas this is what he needs from him. He is the one actively calling back to that part of their relationship and saying not only is Vegas not a freak for wanting that, he wants it to. He knows what Vegas will respond to but that doesn't make it equally Pete's own desire, because we know how Pete feels about honesty.

And in the midst of this declaration of submission, we also have this

This Pete! Defiant Pete! The side of Pete that Vegas was always so drawn in by. But now his defiance isn't because he has no other option, either resist or lose his humanity, now it's his choice totally. Pete is asserting his agency not only through being the one to (re)establish the roles of their relationship but also by, again, making Vegas face up to his responsibilities to Pete. By making it something selfish. Even in his desperation for Vegas to see him, stay with him, there's no weakness in his submission. He demands and gets angry, but none of it is said to hurt, just to kick Vegas into seeing him again, the way only he can.

And finally, pleading. Please turn around to see me. Because Vegas hasn't looked at him once since he ran out of the garage, not even when he pushed past him in the office. And Vegas and Pete are all about seeing each other [insert montage of VP staring scenes here]. So I think Vegas knows when he does see Pete, and sees Pete seeing him, there's no going back. He cannot leave when Pete needs him, will starve without him.

This had to be Vegas's choice. Pete can beg and plead and speak aloud his desires but he cannot force Vegas to turn and see him. But he does, he makes his choice in the slow, hesitant turn with a look of disbelief that Pete really is there saying these things. Then the utter relief and smile when he does see Pete, his mirror and other half, seeing him back, desiring him, loving him, demanding him, following him, choosing him.

#my reaction to this meta is just. growling stick figure guy rending and tearing #pete's development from someone who erases and conceals himself within his role as bodyguard #to someone who quits to demand the minor family heir look at him and feed him and recognize him and TAKE CARE OF HIM #also LOOK AT VEGAS'S FACE THAT MAN IS BESOTTED #THEY MAKE ME INSANE #also bark bark bark bark forever @ pete's combination of defiance and submission #vegas kornwit theerapanyakun #pete phongsakorn saengtham #vegaspete #kpts #meta #that's your queue

What if you *were* in charge of designating Yunmeng shuangjie posts for historical preservation? What other posts would you pick?

re these tags about how i am NOT in charge of this nor should i be

okay first of all, i'm touched that you value my opinion. second, you're making me choose??? RUDE. third, thank you for giving me a way to procrastinate my actual work today, because my job is boring but you know what's not boring? yunmeng shuangjie. suck it, employer!

i went through my yunmeng bros tag but there are over 450 posts in there and i found myself going "oh yes this one definitely" about every four posts or so, and at some point i was like okay babygirl you are not gonna answer this ask by linking to over one hundred posts, i refuse to let you do that. so i forced myself to pick a more reasonable number and then ruthlessly culled the list until i simply could not bring myself to remove any of the remaining. which means this is not at ALL comprehensive or exhaustive, it's just...idk, the last ymsj posts i would jettison if my life depended on lightening my ship??? (in this scenario i'm on a ship in a storm or something. and tumblr posts are heavy. just go with it.) (also, i had to make the executive decision to exclude fic, for my sanity.) (again, can't stress enough how little suited i am to this endeavor. please put someone else in charge!!)
