This is not a martini. This is chilled vodka served up with a twist. You can enjoy chilled vodka served up with a twist! That’s fine! You should drink whatever you want! But a martini is a cocktail.
Now, you can argue perhaps that martini has become a way of drinking, as seen in something like an ‘espresso martini’ which contains no vermouth but is served in a martini glass. Language does change. But that example is still a cocktail, not just chilled espresso served up. There are ingredients.* Call it whatever you want in your own house (and playing around with barware on your own time is so fun, please do it.) However...
When things like this become popular I wait for them to trickle down and someone to order one from me. Usually I don’t care - I loved when sbagliatos had their day for example, that’s a glorious drink (and a nice upcharge 😎). But if you come to me in my dive bar arcade, fail to read the room, and order a ‘naked vodka martini’ as I am seeing this called you are going to be in for a shock, because I don’t have martini glasses. I don’t even have glass glasses! You are getting a chilled (and therefore diluted) double shot of Titos in a Pizza Hut cup, my friend, and you are paying 16 dollars for it. Enjoy.

A Case For Bottom Oliver Quick
To start, let's establish some terms - a top is the penetrating partner in anal sex and a bottom is the receptive partner. These terms are descriptive - they are not personality traits or strict categories. You can be a submissive top or a dominant bottom, which brings us to the case of one Oliver Quick and his night with Farleigh.
Let's first start with this:
Oliver is offering to let Farleigh fuck him (i.e., let Farleigh top him).
Later that night, Oliver surprises Farleigh in his room, straddling the larger man around his upper waist so they can see face-to-face (remember Farleigh/Archie is about 9 inches taller than Oliver/Barry). Note that Oliver is wearing an undershirt in this scene.
Oliver asks Farleigh if he is going to behave and then reaches behind him with his left arm, going under Farleigh's sheet. Notice the top of the sheet is behind Oliver's butt.
Oliver is clearing doing something to Farleigh's dick here, as we can hear the sheet continue to rustle and "Farleigh moans softly." Like in the vampire scene with Venetia, he is asserting dominance by providing the other person with pleasure.
"Are you going to behave?" Nnooo." Farleigh looks down between him and Oliver to whatever is happening under the sheet. "I'm going to behave," followed by more moaning and rustling. At this point, having triumphed, Oliver does something new, as Farleigh asks, "What the fuck?"
The lube spit enters the scene! After reaching back with his left hand, Oliver, who has maintained a steady posture during this whole encounter, tips his head back and up slightly. His expression changes slightly, and whatever he is doing become more vigorous as the bed creaks.
Oliver's face turns to one of pleasure as he inserts Farleigh into him. Farleigh, for his part, tries eating Oliver's chin. Studying Oli's neck seems to indicate that he is slightly arching his back.
Finally, in the two scenes we see of the events that immediately follow this encounter Oliver is (at least) shirtless (framing Farleigh for trying to sell the Palissy plates) and naked (back in his own bed in the morning). If he's worried about the maids reporting back to Elspeth, bottoming would make a bigger mess on the underclothes that he was wearing and would necessitate stripping down once he gets back to his own room.
Again, while I mentioned that bottoming isn't a personality trait, it fits with his theme of consumption throughout the film. He is taking the family into himself, presenting himself as something that is thought of as submissive while really being the one in control.

I literally think about oliver banks post post change alllll the fucking time. he accepted the deaths of everyone else. he accepted his own death. he accepted the world ending. he even embraced the world ending after it ended, accurately hypothesizing that the fears had doomed themselves to starving.
then the world doesn't end, and oliver is alive (presuming he doesn't get hunted down like simon fairchild.) how do you spend your adulthood accepting your ultimate demise and then suddenly you have another chance? you're given the gift of new life and it's so foreign that it feels like a loss....like oh we're really in it now

It’s just so funny to me thinking about Oliver going on set to film 7x05 being all like “I’m so excited how are they going to handle Bucks coming out story” just to be told that they’re going to choked him.
I mean- WHAT MAKE THAT DECISION??
