did you ever make a post about pete not liking tankhun ? i know you mentioned it a few times in your tags but i don't remember seeing a post. (i share your opin ions.)
I definitely toyed with the idea of meta or a gifset but I didn't ever make a full post! I love unrequited love and I ESPECIALLY love the extremely rare platonic version which Tankhun and Pete absolutely nail in my opinion!
There are loads of moments where Pete's smile drops around Tankhun very quickly, or he insults Tankhun behind his back. Instead of laughing things off like Arm and Pol, he almost has a wincing fear-response to Tankhun, which we don't really see at all from the other bodyguards.
I think that Tankhun likes to think of himself as being close friends with his bodyguards, and he does genuinely show a lot of open affection for Pete and eventually concern for his safety. But I think ultimately for Pete, Tankhun is just a part of Pete's job, and over time resentment has built up until he thinks of Tankhun as one of the *worst* parts of it. I definitely don't think he resents Tankhun enough to hurt or endanger him, but that's about as far as it goes, there's certainly very little love there.
Something about that dynamic is just particularly brilliant, especially when combined with Pete's eventual defection from Tankhun's side to Vegas'. He chooses a man who has beaten and tortured him over a man who showers him in affection and throws parties on his return.
I utterly adore Tankhun but I think as a character that's grown up in a gilded cage, he doesn't really understand that what Pete needs is a sense of his own autonomy rather than being dragged to "fun" "lets cheer up Pete" parties that Tankhun has demanded on his behalf. At least with Vegas he *chose* to go back, he handed Vegas the ropes, let him lock him back up again. Even before he develops feelings for Vegas, Pete has clearly felt like a subhuman pet for Tankhun and the main family for a long, long time and I think ironically Vegas acknowledging Pete's humanity is the tipping point for him.
I think even without their nascent romantic love as a factor, Pete would always choose Vegas. Because despite the threat of suffering, he offers a sense of freedom that Tankhun's gilded cage does not. It all makes for an incredibly interesting betrayal, and makes Pete choosing Vegas over Tankhun all the more pointed. By choosing to be Vegas' pet, he chooses to be human.

Hehe! Yokpol #45!
My Committment to the bit is unparallelled. I wrote over 1000 words for absolutely no reason. Sometimes you have to invent an entirely new tag on Ao3:
For the whole time Pol's worked for the family, Khun nu has remained either in his suite or somewhere around the compound, usually with at least 2 bodyguards by his side. But now Tankhun is out and about… Pol is out of practice.
It's not entirely his fault he keeps losing everybody - he keeps getting reasonably distracted.
Usually, in the end, he just sits at the bar and waits for Arm and Khun nu to get back. At least there he's not short of entertainment. Yok is wickedly funny and has a hundred different stories to tell. She's also an excellent flirt, so overall it's no hardship to spend a few hours with a beautiful lady while technically still on the clock.
Luckily, losing Tankhun hasn't become a real problem yet. Arm hasn't even been particularly angry with him, and even gracefully accepts his endless apologies about it. But still, it must be frustrating: Khun nu can be a handful, and occasionally Arm has come back looking more than slightly dishevelled.
Poor guy.
Read the rest on AO3 Here.
Amateur Arborist - 1K - Rated T for Tankhun - YolPol and ArmTankhun nations rise up ✨

send me a kiss prompt number and a pairing and I’ll write a ficlet! or. in this case. an entire fic. why not. 💕

This could fall under regret, and it's certainly one of my favorite platonic/family relationships, but no prompt really.
Just realizing during rewatch how this is the first time Kinn has ever gotten to go out with his brother. How he brings his friends and gets drunk and undignified and just has a good time, savoring the moment. How sweet and heartbreaking it is at the same time.
