#truly they need to invent another reason to live other than kpts

[itsbinghebitch]

it's forever kinnporsche and vegaspete parallels hours: both captive, both thrust outside of their respective social roles, both brought together by power dynamics fuckery and made equal by their chains. this is where both parties become mirror images of each other (ep6 for kinnporsche, ep11 for vegaspete) and where the romantic inflection point actually occurs. almost any romance between opposing worlds contains that upside down/role reversal beat in the story (think of nlmg where palm and nueng are forced out of bangkok), but kpts does it so well here in the shortest time frame with the simplest symbolism. and for both pairings!!! i will never get over this show

#kp rewatch #only now realized both are my favorite episodes and it's probably due to this very reason #+ to cite the conversation podcast by nini and ben bl works best when side pairings reflect themes in the main pairing #and kpts does that par excellence with kp and vp #while keeping each pairing unique and fresh #truly they need to invent another reason to live other than kpts
