I am not liking them having to be evil and have moneys and OH GOD Jared's face, Peter needs to mend everything.

Bambi! Oh Jared.

[aliaswestgate.livejournal.com]

PETER JUST STRIPPED IN COURT. LMAO SUNSCREEN. *can't stop giggling* SHAMELESS. and Jared's all THAT"S MINE, FOLKS. XD

[jekesta]

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD THEY'RE TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR COPING. GOD BLESS WHOEVER FOUND THAT GLADIATOR OUTFIT. GOD BLESS.

(Also the advert bit where Jared just srot of pushed Peter out of shot just made me squeal like an idiot, the whole thing makes me squeal.)

They leaned in a doorway and I sort of died, they're SO GOOD AT THAT, how are they so good at DOORS???? What even?

I love being sadly not evil.

[aliaswestgate.livejournal.com]

He dropped the suit! thank the gods. Peter's kick after being pushed is so them in that advert too.

NEXT EPISODE: SEAN ASTIN! XD

[jekesta]

In the last five minutes I've had a bit of a collapse because I don't cope well with change and I hate that they're corporate and I hate the set changes and the change of colour which I'm hoping was just the livestream, and OH GOD JARED, and I don't want them to jetset off to places, I want them to stay at home and play video games and I missed the beginning, but was there ANY diner? I am so sad if there's no diner. I will get over this, and be happy again in a minute but right just now, OH GOD IT'S ALL SO SAD, why do things change???????

Sorry, I'm vaguely aware that I don't know you very well and this post is perhaps not the place for me to be having sudden panic and worry. So much about that episode was perfect and beautiful, and next week looks amazing, I just don't want things to be evil and I don't want them to be old, I just want them to be okay and eat burgers.

Also I need a download now because gladiator Peter OH MY GOD WANT FOREVER.

[aliaswestgate.livejournal.com]

It's a good way for character growth, though for all their hijinks they're generally able to keep to their own peculiar morals. So far it looks like its possible. I do miss the diner, but we didn't get that every episode in s1 either. I hope it shows up soon again!

I thought the Cave looked different, so i wasn;t the only one who didn't really like that either.

Rant to me all ya like. *grin* I'm a relative n00b to the fandom,and i like talking to other fans.

[jekesta]

I know, you're right about the diner, it totally might show up. It's just I haven't really heard them talk about it and it wasn't in the video about the new sets or anything, and I just . . . it's so much a part of them and . . . I don't know.

I managed optimism for MONTHS leading up to this episode, optimism doesn't come naturally to me at all, it was bound to fail. It's weird that it's failed after the episode itself was kind of MADE OF LOVE. And in a way it was like another pilot episode, because they were all about making the changes and setting things up, and pilot episodes always feel a bit weird, so it's probably fine. Probably.

Peter and Jared are still MAGNIFICENT, and it had gladiator and kilt and guyliner and Pindar backstory, and Carmen and Pindar being lovely, although also Carmen caring about the house rules, which was always how they described her character and never how she actually came across to me before, and Peter and Jared looking at each other though, and admiring each other in court, and LOVING EACH OTHER WITH THEIR SOULS, and kjlkdjsldfsd. I LOVE THEM.

And thank you so much for putting a post up, and being around, it's great to see some new faces here:):):)

and Jared's all THAT"S MINE, FOLKS. XD

Jared's so proud of his bf. They're too adorable together.

[jekesta]

I'm not putting sunscreen on you in court

<3333333333333

[aliaswestgate.livejournal.com]

*gigglefits*

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

Which means he totally puts sunscreen on Peter all the time when they're not in court! *flails*

[jekesta]

It really really really really does. SO MUCH TOTAL LOVE ALL THE LOVE.

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

And you know Peter was like 'but you had no problem with the sunscreen at the beach' (where Jared surfs! omg, I need to see that. ...on a long board that's, like, three times his size) and Jared's like 'I know. But I'm trying to be professional. Also you missed that spot on your shoulder. You know that's where you burn the worst. I'm not picking off your peeling skin this time.' and Peter's all 'You know we're not actually out in the sun right now, right?' ...because they have epic eye conversations with each other.

[jekesta]

Their eyes totally did all that, their eyes are amazing. Peter was like 'why wouldn't you put sunscreen on me? LOOK AT ME. My arms are amazing', and Jared went 'IN COURT, PETER, WE ARE IN COURT and I am not going to get all turned on and bothered while we are IN COURT, not this time, but um, you should very much absolutely feel free to bring that outfit home with you. With the hat.' and Peter went 'understood, will do'.

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. And the hat. Jared wanted Peter to wear it so badly. It's totally in their bedroom now. *nods*

[aliaswestgate.livejournal.com]

Personal boundries? WHAT BOUNDRIES?

I swear, these guys make me capslock so bad. They adore each other so much.

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

I LOVE how they have NO BOUNDARIES WHAT SO EVER! They're so perfect.

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

OH GOD Jared's face

Jared was throwing such epic puppy eyes I couldn't contain myself. Like everything was so wrong. His whole world was upside down. *flutters*

[jekesta]

I want them to run away and chase ambulances. Or go and work in dusty law offices in the deep south, possibly in the past, where all lawyers work in my head. Or go and defend poor people, or make Infeld Daniels set up a decent pro bono section and be in charge of it. I can't cope with Jared having to be evil just because Peter wants to be normal. And I know, I know! they won't really be evil, but they were a bit evil, and sold out for helicopters and skiing. And was Debbie not there? I want EVERYTHING TO BE THE WAY IT WAS. I want Peter to mend it.

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

Jared is giving up everything because of how much he wants Peter to be happy. He sees how much Peter wants to be a partner. And at a large firm. And he knows it's be nice to really pay Pindar and Carmen. But it all hurts his soul.

...this is the start of his breakdown where he thinks Bear is talking to him. Tragic!

[jekesta]

If this all culminates in Bear, it is suddenly so much better! And it's [This next bit is a vague spoiler about the end of the season from an interview, I will give space]









it's quite nice knowing that they're leaving themselves space to actually LEAVE and NOT BE EVIL at the end of the season if they need it. Leaving and not being evil might be a nice thing PEter decides Jared deserves, and he might elope with him and they can go and teach surfing and being beautiful in . . . somewhere else. Yes. Good.

Oh god, and all the stuff about making Pindar and Carmen secure was just LOVE, and so sort of real and true, and I do like that they get to wear more expensive suits, although it's TERRIBLE and will break Jared's heart, and JLdkfhowejknsdf.

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

I am going to believe, until proven otherwise, that this all results with Jared having a breakdown involving Bear and Peter having to make the tough decision to leave Infeld Daniels and take Jared somewhere soft and quiet.

(but they make a deal with Damien and Hanna to take Pindar and Carmen so that they'll always be taken care of)

[jekesta]

I'm sorry, I am so sorry. I am being a terrible fan and ruining happiness, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry. In a moment my download will work, and I will have pictures of Peter dressed as a toy gladiator and MPG failed to be in Spartacus which is one of the MAJOR wrongnesses of Spartacus, and this is making up for it SO MUCH, and I will just look at him and be insanely happy again.

I just collapsed a bit inside, and forgot to do it in the privacy of my own journal.

[odannygirl7.livejournal.com]

No, no! It's a lovely kind of pain! We need to talk these things out. I'm not bothered by it anyway... I mean, hello, I'm all about their tragic existence and how minute show changes could lead to epic tragicness.

[jekesta]

::clings to you:: You are quite quickly taking EVERYTHING that is worrying and sad about change and reminding me that it's all just reasons for Jared to cry and fall apart inside and make beautiful eyes at Peter. Which really helps. I'm sort of confused about why I thought the AWFULNESS OF CHANGE was a bad thing.
