rewatched the episode feat. Park's acid trip and we should talk about this some more, especially toxic yuri fans
there should be fanfic about what Park hallucinated. that would be. nice I think
yes yes yes!!!!!! also, this whole bit:
there is so much repressed yuri on park's end in this scene, idk how to even begin upwrapping it.
okay, three main things.
first of all, park is sooo jealous of even the concept of chase & adams fucking. the fact that she hallucinates chase and adams as rabbits is hilarious to me; her subconscious is outright calling them both whores. the bitchy, passive-aggressive tone of "oh, i get it" and "i've seen things"?? the stage whisper?? she is such a bitch about it i love her <3
then secondly, the sexy jessica rabbit adams hallucination. where to even start? her hallucinating adams sashaying like she's going down the catwalk? adams' bust being magnified?? this smoky look rabbit!adams gives her like she's dirt on the soles of her shoes???
the implication that park is into that, combined with the kinkiness of those black opera gloves???? it's making me go feral.
even park is like "oh holy fuck. am i gay. why does this feels gay".
look at the fear on her poor face adsfschfjk.
this is before she justifies to herself - in a classic display of comphet behaviour - that she is hallucinating adams this way bc adams is chase's wife in the hallucination. because, oh, of course it makes sense that chase the manwhore has a sexy wife!
well done, park. another day, another straight saved 🙏
look at that expression of crazed relief and attraction on her face. idiot <3
then thirdly, there's fact that adams is the only sexy hallucination in this scene. i also find the positioning of rabbit!chase in contrast to rabbit!adams interesting here, bc of the comphet implications.
the similarity of them both being rabbits in these hallucinations (whilst house and taub are something completely different) forces you to compare how differently they are presented by park's subconscious.
like here: chase is forced into a more casual/laying-down position on the bar - when in reality he is just leaning on the bar - suggesting that park is subconsciously trying to force chase into a more sexy position in her mind. trying to make herself find him attractive.
it obviously doesn't work though, because his entire face is furry, animalistic and unappealing, with the 'what?' gesture he gives park suggesting disinterest.
this situation is reiterated again with chase biting the carrot. you can imagine this scene being sexy - phallic imagery and all that - but it just... isn't, lol. this hallucination is also over in one camera shot.
yet, park lingers on the adams hallucination. it lasts longer, and is covered across two shots, cutting to park's (for a lack of better phrasing) gay panic inbetween, implying that park's interest is more prolonged and sustained.
also, with positioning: adams in reality is already standing-up. unlike chase, she is not forced into a different position. park is seeing her as she is positioned, because that is enough for her in this fantasy.
unlike chase, adams is also incredibly attractive with certain features - like her hair and bust - exemplified, suggesting that park finds her attractive and that park pays particular attention to these features. it's like if hallucinations distort reality, this is a funfair mirror of all of adams' best features.
she is less animalistic in appearance than chase too, having only rabbit ears. she is more human and therefore more realistic - making park's attraction to her appear more realistic.
furthermore, whilst rabbit!chase shows disinterest (and possibly even annoyance) towards park, rabbit!adams puts on a fucking show for her, sashaying out a catwalk like it's a mating dance. rabbit!adams' attention is focused entirely on park throughout, suggesting that adams is interested in her. meanwhile, chase is distracted, spinning his own carrot (to say it politely) and showing disinterest in park through his 'what?' gesture.
i could go on about my thoughts on comphet park and her many boyfriends (according to her anyway, lol). i could go on about park trying to wrestle her close platonic friendship with chase into something romantic (though i don't want to shit on the chase/park lovers). however, this is already getting long.
anyway, to me, all of this is unequivocal proof of the beautiful, toxic yuri between these two. 'love is blind' is an episode of all time, amongst the park/adams hall of fame. if hallucinations (from park's own fucking subconscious) can't force her into figuring out that she wants to make sweet & nasty yuri love to adams, then love must truly be blind like this episode says.
