You know what I've been thinking about? How we never see Vegas sleep during the entire show, not even in the hospital scene at the end.

We see him wear various outfits themed around ✨sleep✨ - from the obligatory sexy silky Theerapanyakul robe*TM over comfy shirt and pajama pants combinations to the good old birthday suit. We see him sitting on beds, fu...kneeling on beds, lying in beds, we see him knocked out cold on the floor, bleeding out next to the swimming pool. But never actually just...sleep.

And I keep coming back to this observation because it seems to me that that's another brilliant detail of the show, another brilliant show-don't-tell-way to characterise Vegas.

I mean look at Kinn: he feels like he's carrying his father's expectations, the family business, the whole world on his shoulders. He is paranoid and has massive trust issues and yet...he's still able to sleep. Okay, he's sleeping with a gun at first and with his literal bodyguard later (double meaning intended) - but that's beside the point.

We even see Kim sleep. Hell, if we didn't have the scene of him and Porchay dozing on the couch, I would have wholeheartedly believed that he's running on spite, barely contained violence and aesthetics alone. Plotting and sleuthing 24/7, writing music in between. And yet, and yet.

They show us Kinn and Kim and so many of the other characters (Porsche...mostly Porsche 😂) sleep. But not Vegas. Never Vegas.

And I feel like this is a perfectly subtle way to underline how restless Vegas actually is. How he's always trying to catch up with his father's expectations, with Kinn. Always scheming, conniving, conspiring, always trying to proof his worth, to make his father proud. Running desperately after things that remain unreachable. Feeling stuck in his position, failing again and again, feeling useless. Trying even harder. Restless, restless, restless.

A bit like a tiger in a safe house cage, a bit like a dog racing after a fake lure.

So...how could Vegas ever just sleep like a normal person?

#long story short: I have a Vegas is an insomniac headcanon - at least before Pete chooses to stay by his side #oh man looking at my posts from this weekend made me realise: Bible's Wan(der) Day made me think A LOT about Vegas 😂#I just miss everyone's favourite pathetic meow meow 🥺#anyways: I feel like there's still so much to explore within the visual language and storytelling of KinnPorsche #and that makes me very happy #kinnporche the series #kinnporsche meta #random kinnporsche thoughts #vegas theerapanyakul #because the kinnporsche brain rot is still real #I SHOULD BE ALREADY SLEEPING BY THE WAY
