Vegas and Pete: Love Language Food by Episode
Food incorporates all five senses. It’s a very powerful way of creating a connection and expressing love so is it really surprising that for some it is a love language? Pete very early on expresses his feelings on food. He correlates food with warm feelings, welcome, and caring. This is due to his grandmother and it means something that he shares his grandmother's food with Porsche. Food is extremely important to Pete. So let's talk about when it became important to Vegas and Pete.
Where are you looking evil sir?? He's looking right at Pete. Eventually Pete notices and tells Vegas where Kinn is but instead he sits with them. Pete moves his food over. He is super excited about it but baby boy does not touch a drop of his food once Vegas gives Porsche that meat.
Boy is not happy, not happy at all. I also want you guys to look at the first picture and where Porsches eyes are actually directed at. It's not Vegas.
Our next food related incident happens when Pete if following Vegas. Both Vegas and his brother notice and Vegas heads into the store and purchases Pete bug spray and bread. The condoms weren't for him at that time.
Then comes Episode 7 which really is when I first noticed the food dialogue. While taking my notes, I started really seeing a pattern. The thought hit me that Vegas absolutely has to know how Pete feels about food because there are too many moments for me to discredit. I'm going to list them for you.
- The minute Pete mentioned grilled pork Vegas is turning around and getting it for him. Okay, I can already hear some of you dismissing this but think it through. He had Porsche next to him, his supposed "unrequited love" and Pete was a decent distance back and was whispering to Arm. How would Vegas have heard Pete unless his attention was already there.
- Vegas offers food again when Pete pays homage to alter. Pete says they can wait to eat with everyone. Here is the interesting part. Vegas looks at Arm, then Porsche but looks directly at Pete and tells Pete "I'll get you some food."
- Porsche says "oh they set up food" Vegas is in front of Porsche on the stairs and Pete is behind Porche. Vegas pauses as they come off the stairs so that Porsche is then in front of him slightly and Vegas is in line of Pete when he asks "hungry?"
- Vegas and Pete make full eye contact. Third offering of food. What's that smile Pete. What's that smile!? And then I get my answer from @curiositykilledd who also co-wrote this with me... The food on that table is Southern Thai. Could be nothing.. Could be something. You decide.
- Okay, back on track "You don't need a schedule to eat here" he is looking right at Pete when he says "you can eat whenever you want"
- Vegas gestures for Porsche to drink. They clink glasses then Vegas turns and gestures to Pete to drink. Are we counting this as a food offering? If so.. Number five. All in one episode.
There are points in-between these gifs that most of you are familiar with. First the food Vegas so carefully made with love and then the second bowl of food, that if you noticed was still ramen. One of Pete's favorites. The spilt food that in fact foreshadowed their fall.
We come full circle from that very first scene when Pete shared his food with Porsche. When he extending his care, concern, and friendship to Porsche. We come to the last scene in the series but also their last food scene. Not only does Pete get Macau food but buys Vegas food as well. The difference between that first scene and this last one is that though he is extending his care and concern, he is also giving Vegas his love. Food=I love you. It's their love language.
