PetePorsche - 10/10

Adorable, amazing, brilliant, showstopping, spectacular! Best friend to lovers to soulmates for the win. Really pure ship. What else is there to say? Pete and Porsche will sneak away on little dates, mostly to eat and smoke. They will be partners in crime to all sorts of crazy ideas. Pete will definitely go and open a restaurant by the beach with Porsche. Pete and Chay will be best friends. Chay will also have to be the mom of the group because the other two morons don’t know what self preservation is. Pete’s grandma will be so happy that Pete has found such strong and beautiful boyfriend, she will start sending food to feed a small army claiming Porsche and Chay need to grow even stronger.

MacauChay - 7/10

Love them! I really do! But those little gremlins will kill each other if they date. I see why people ship them. They’re both from a broken family with only one brother to rely on. They’re both trapped in their circumstances and may find comfort and understanding in one another. They will absolutely hate each other at first, though.

ChanBig - 10/10

Did someone said Daddy Chan? I think we all saw that scene in ep1 and we collectively went - yep, they fuck. It’s the way Chan has all the power, the way Big doesn’t want to disappoint him. My daddy issues could never. It’s their power dynamic, it’s Big refusing to look at Chan’s eyes, it’s Chan being firm but gentle. I don’t need to say anything more, there are already amazingly slutty fanfics about them.

VegasTay - 10/10

This ship gets bonus points for the aesthetics alone, they are both gorgeously styled. I can see it happening as a one night stand. When Tay has finally had enough of Time’s bullshit, he goes to a club and sees Vegas there. Tay is ready to make some bad decisions. Vegas on the other hand has no idea what is happening, but one of Kinn’s best friends is flirting with him and he’ll be a fool to miss that opportunity. Vegas wrecks Tay’s world that night. Tay tells him he can leave marks. Vegas knows that his definition of “marks” is different from most so he controls himself. It will be so much more satisfying if Kinn’s friend does not regret this in the morning. Afterwards Tay tells the story of his shitty relationship and Vegas suggest murdering Time. Tay should have found that calm statement frightening, but he didn’t. He actually found it quite funny. Having his friend’s hot psycho cousin care more about his feelings than his actual boyfriend. Tay suggests doing that again, gathers his things and leaves. Vegas doesn’t know why he never told anybody about that night, maybe he forgot.

ArmKhun - 8/10

I’m taking points out because of the power imbalance and I’m giving points back because of the aesthetic. Diva Khun and Bodyguard Arm! Yes, give me more. The scene of them fighting the minor family with Arm’s car-bombs which were bedazzled in gems by Khun is what sealed the deal for me. They are an amazing team. Khun is such a fun and crazy character and I would like to see him in a more serious situation. What if he gets a gun pointed at him and goes into a ptsd episode while Arm has to be the best bodyguard and protect him but also later calm him down. The crack but also angst potential is astonishing.

KenBig - 6/10

Someone said they are the Mean Girls of KinnPorsche and it hasn’t left my mind since. Yes they are! Them just gossiping around and making everyone’s life miserable, love to see it. Don’t know if I can see them as something more serious than fuck buddies but I see the angst potential of both of them dying without knowing about what happened to the other.

ArmPorsche - 7/10

I’m seeing this starting as one sided love because notice how Arm looks at Porsche, that boy is in loooove! He was ready to go against his boss just to help Porsche. If Kinn was actually cheating on Porsche, those two boys would be game.

KinnPete - 6/10

Summary:

During camp for a drama tour, Porsche and Pete grab the attention of the mafia cousins, Kinn and Vegas. - Vegas stumbles upon Pete when he comes to drop Porsche off at camp. It's a small spark between, but suddenly, he's obsessed with Porsche's Co-star. Kinn, on the other hand, has known Porsche for years and has been trying to poach him from Vegas' agency. After a one night stand, Kinn realizes that maybe he doesn't want Porsche as one of his actors. He wants him for an entirely new reason.

*wattpad* *ao3*

like I'm pretty sure that Kinn is platonically in love with Pete. He's just... so fond of him? Literally going out of his way to make sure he's safe during shooting in ep 14 tho Pete's his bodyguard and it's his job to put his life at risk? Worrying whether he is okay tho his literal lover is lying on his tits in ep 11??? And like I found it interesting that Porsche didn't worry at all about Pete and kept telling Kinn to stop worrying which I thought was maybe bc he was jealous?

and like Pete is definitely Kinn's type he's just walking around looking like THAT and Kinn, the biggest man whore, still doesn't fuck him??? He's platonically in love with him and would rather just keep Pete close to himself than fuck him and risk that Pete would quit the job.

sorry it took me so long to reply! i've just been thinking about it cause, like, i'm not sure we have the same vision of kinnpete, dear anon, which is totally ok and fine, but i do find their relationship fascinating in their own way

(also i don't really like taking that scene from ep 11 into the account, cause both porsche and kinn are being very DUMB in it, i'm pretty sure porsche wasn't thinking with his brain in it, and kinn was trying to think with his brain but was still failing for the exact reason of his literal lover lying on his tits. i'm a firm believer that if porsche really knew the situation, he would be way more worried about pete)

but back to kinnpete. the number one fascination point for me is always how much trust kinn has in pete. kinn who allegedly trusts no one, trust pete the most of all the other characters on this show, at least as i see it. he trusts him to protects the most valuable people in his life, he trusts him with his back, he trusts him to not be bought by the minor family and to not be intimidated by vegas. he obviously knows pete enough to not see him as just some fool, knows how well he works with people (like how he signaled him to take porsche outside in that scene from ep 3, trusting him to calm porsche down).

and pete is, dare i say, a little bit of a fanboy when it comes to kinn? or maybe not even a little bit, like he was so happy when he got reassigned to kinn, he was beaming (he would come to regret this reassignment a little bit, oh pete). pete, being all-knowing as he is, remembers kinn before the heartbreak, before his trust issues got so much worse. pete knows how kinn can be with his people, knows that he cares. yes, kinn is scary big mafia boss, but with him you don't have to worry that you'll just be another asset to be wasted. there is respect, there is fascination and the trust is definitely mutual.

and yet, they only know each other on the very surface level. and they aren't exactly the ones who would be capable of getting any further with each other. there is a power imbalance, always present. or rather, it was present through the entire time they knew each other until the end of ep 14. that's why, if there is season 2, i would love to see them interact as them, kinn and pete, not as khun kinn and the perfect bodyguard pete. cause what would that even look like?

i would love to see them having to work together for whatever reason, the four of them. and both vegas and porsche getting to see just how well kinn and pete work together, with each other. because they knew each other for years, worked together for years, they know each other's moves, what the other one like. like a perfectly adjusted mechanism. pete understands kinn without words, knows what he needs to do, and kinn can trust him to be exactly where he wants him to be, the process is perfected at this point.

and there is a little sting for both vegas and porsche, but also, also, maybe things changed, maybe they shifted. especially when it comes to pete. because pete knows, expects kinn in a situation where he has to choose between him and porsche to protect porsche, he's fine with it. but at some point kinn expects pete to do something, to be somewhere, and pete is not, because pete is by vegas' side, more attuned to him now, he's his partner now. and it's a bit sad, just a bit, cause the things will never be the same again.
