#gilfoyle x dinesh

[hanisaway]

rewatching silicon valley again and,,,, something definitely happened between dinesh and gilfoyle between s5 and s6, right? i mean, sure, they're still dicks to each other (bc what is dinfoyle without the fun insults) but somehow, there's.... less animosity between them?

in episode one, dinesh is all smiling and blushing and giggling while chatting with (ai) gilfoyle, proudly proclaiming to the office how close they are, like

and he's sending flirty ass messages with a fucking smiley face (?????!!!!!) when pre-s6 dinesh would NEVER. then when dinesh asks gilfoyle to make him an ai dinesh, gilfoyle just.... obliges? just like that?

plus they're going out for drinks together to just catch up and talk? and gilfoyle saying, as a matter of factly, "you love candy" bc of course he's noticed and of course he knows the things dinesh loves

and do not get me started on that finale when bertram "i don't trust anybody out of principle and bc of my personal beliefs" gilfoyle outright trusts that dinesh is telling the truth in the most critical moment in their life even after dinesh has warned them about how he will betray them!

the growth of their relationship pre- and during s6 was for sure what pushed them to come together in the end and get married build a company together in the future.

i guess they finally did follow richard's advice to "just fuck each other and get it over with"

also, to add, this is just typical husband banter:

#i mean we all know dinfoyle were best friends since s1 even tho they wouldnt admit it to each other #but u gotta admit theyre more comfortable admitting that thru words and/or actions in s6 #what im trying to say is #they fucked #and years later they got married and started their own company #silicon valley #dinesh chugtai #bertram gilfoyle #dinfoyle #han talks #hbo #kumail nanjiani #martin starr #dinesh x gilfoyle #gilfoyle x dinesh #dinesh chugtai x bertram gilfoyle

Dinesh: *waxes poetic about a beautiful piece of Java code that got him all hot and bothered*

Gilfoyle:

#gilfoyle’s face journey as he figures it out is what clinches it for me #it’s also so funny that dinesh specifically mentions she’s not really his type #dinfoyle #dinesh x gilfoyle #silicon valley hbo

Dinesh x Gilfoyle doodles from back in the summer, I'm posting them out of spite because I lost the file in which I was drawing them. And had to seek for it half a year back in a Discord convo. Smh.

Also they're cringe but BE CRINGE AND BE FREE

Anyway yes I love them, I drew all of this while rewatching Silicon Valley some two weeks after finishing the first watch (and it's so funny because I didn't even ship them that much during the first watch) Also I headcanon Gilfoyle as non-binary thank you for your attention

#dinesh #dinesh chugtai #gilfoyle #bertram gilfoyle #silicon valley #dinfoyle #art #my art #doodles #the last one is Dinesh giving Gilfoyle a quick bye bye kiss when he's leaving for work #he's leaving first to take the parking spot #THAT parking spot

Anyway remember when I said I'd post more in depth Silicon Valley-Succession meta? Well, the time is now.

And honestly, I have to thank @tomwambsmilk for this because she understands Silicon Valley far better than me and we have had multiple conversations about this. I will probably end up making a prettier gif parallels post about this stuff, but this is the base stroke I wanna establish.

But essentially while I have been watching Silicon Valley, it's fascinating to me how some of the specifics are very similar to Succession. Like Brenna mentioned to me, some parallels and arc of certain characters closely resemble that of Succession.

Specifically, I was thinking of Dinesh x Gilfoyle (Dinfoyle) in regards to Tomgreg, and for me, it's about how DG close mirrors TG. Aside from one obvious difference where Tom has an obvious power dynamic over Greg and as a result, Dinesh has the position to retaliate more because Gilfoyle is his equal. There, however I would argue, is a subtle power dynamic that gets established between Dinesh and Gilfoyle in the early days where Gilfoyle is able to far easily able to outmatch Dinesh.

Also similarly, there is almost an instant pairing of both of these couples as soon as the show begins which lasts till the end of the show (for Succession, I obviously talk about the S3 ending) and funnily, none of these couples realise that they are part of a pair until it gets pointed to them by a third party.

("I think you're each other's best friend" vs "... a tom sundae with a greg cherry on top")

It essentially comes down to the fact that TG is borne from almost the same stuff that makes DG, but is worse somehow. They go through the same rounds to trust, betrayal and understanding and it's interesting to go through the curves.

(There's also the individual coding of characters in the ship as a duality of Tomgreg and it's funny to get into but I won't yet)

Another notable similarity is Richard and Kendall. (and Logan). For me, Richard is the more competent version of Kendall (as Brenna put it) where he has a specific vision for the company that gets closed to being bulldozed as he keeps changing over the seasons. In certain points, he turns into Gavin Belson despite vowing to start a company completely different from Hooli. That's extremely similar to the Loganifiction of Kendall. There's a ton of more meta that could be thought off when I'm not incredibly sleep deprived.

So that's it folks, two of my HBO shows are showing themes, symbolisms and motifs and they are interesting as heck.

(also if this does not make sense, I am sorry - I wrote this while being incredibly tired)

#Do you think I'm still lovable after I wrote all of this meta sleep deprived? #also yeah I just wanted to say Dinfoyle is like Tomgreg to me #:)) #also please please watch Silicon Valley - I need more people to have the same fixation as me so we can all talk about this #if there are typos I am not responsible #(also I need to stop reading the same few dinfoyle fics and start writing some) #anyway more of this is half serious half joking-ish #I wouldn't say succession notably takes from SV or something #but there are fun parallels #alllllso #toga party dialogue vs nero sporus #succession #tomgreg #tom wambsgans #cousin greg #Kendall roy #succession hbo #I will make a better post - but I needed this to get out #also Brenna is a MVP #Silicon Valley #Dinfoyle #dinesh chugtai #bertram gilfoyle #richard hendricks #Pied Pieper #meta

can’t believe i’m just *now* seeing your incredible sv art. i saw the latest hank drawing but somehow missed all the dinesh x gilfoyle ones

aaaaa i'm so glad you saw them!!! dinesh and gilfoyle are my latest cause of brainrot because i just recently saw the show for the first time and i'm 💀💀💀 a complete disaster for them omg. it's so nice to see all the dinfoyle love so many years after the show aired 💖 i didn't think there was anyone left.

it's so funny that we have such similar tastes in ships! if you ever want to chat about Them (or hank and cristobal) feel free to message me (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)~

[super-high-school-level-squip]

wouldn’t it be interesting if Connor x Jared was like, dinfoyle? Like they just had a similar dynamic to Dinesh and Gilfoyle for some reason?

#you see the fun of any chip involving Connor Murphy is that you can imagine whatever dynamic you want #really that’s how all ships with dead people work #unless of course they’re ghosts #but in the case of ghost Connor #he doesn’t count #anyway would that make Evan Richard? #yea #yes #it would #deh #dear evan hansen

Summary:

"Were you serious?" Gilfoyle asks breaking the heavy silence between them. Dinesh looks at him without understanding what he means. "About teaching."

"Why not?" He shrugs. "I don't have anything better right now. I've written good books about coding... I'm good at it..."

"You would suck at teaching." Gilfoyle cuts him slurring his words.
