#pedro pascal analysis

Y'all have @iamskyereads and bulge anon to thank for this post! Last Christmas, we celebrated with Javier’s bulge. We’re a bit late this year, but I hope you have hydration handy all the same, because we're going to thirst town.

There will be two parts - this one to see out 2023, and the other to usher us into the new year. I hope this was worth the wait 😘

I don't know about you, but pre-outbreak Joel has me in a chokehold. As opposed to his older self, Joel wears a much shorter hemline on top which means we get quite an eyeful 👀

Am I ashamed for focusing on the bulge in the second gif when the Millers are being chased down by a clicker? Yes, I am, and I'm sorry. And I'm on my knees begging for his forgiveness.

There are some very intriguing choices of camera angle in the early episodes, and there are no complaints. Seriously, if it were up to me, the entirety of TLOU should be filmed at this angle. And it would be magnificent.

Also this angle.

It really is very inconvenient that Joel's shirt tails are often in the way of the bulge. He should tie up the ends and make it a crop top.

But thankfully, when he struts, there's no way the bulge stays under wraps.

I would also like to add that compared to Javier, Joel's jeans are far less fitted. And yet. He keeps us just as well fed, even in the middle of an apocalypse. Thank you, sir.

As always, thank you so much for all you do for the Pedro fandom! 💖

This ask is literally 8 months old, I’m so sorry sweet anon 😭 I kept putting it off because I felt like I couldn’t do your ask justice. I still think I can do a much better job than this, but since it’s Boxing Day, I thought I’d leave this naked man under all of your trees.

Please forgive the half-assed analysis because my mind doesn’t work in the face of such broadness 🫠 And of course, we can only use half-naked pics because we need clear references for science.

Let's talk overall broadness first. This man majorly beefed up in between Nikita (2013) and the first season of Narcos (2015). I was going to use 3:5 cropping for both gifs, but I literally couldn't fit all of Javier in that frame. That's how bloody broad this man had gotten.

Can we admire the corded muscles running down Javier's side for a second? Look at the lines. Look at them. He is significantly thicker and more sculpted compared to Liam, he definitely put his hours in the gym in those couple of years.

Skipping forward to the next time we see this man half-naked on screen in TUWOMT in 2022, he has clearly gotten even broader horizontally and also filled out in thickness. The shoulders are bigger, and look at those tiddies pecs practically leaping off the screen, and that soft belly. They knew what they were doing not giving us a full frontal shot of Javi G - he's a danger to ovaries everywhere.

Now let's move on to shoulder-to-waist ratio. Compared to Liam, Javier has a more pronounced dip in the waist thanks to the broader shoulders and the tiny little waist that stayed tiny. If you draw lines connecting shoulders to waist, Liam is more boxy and Javier is more of a trapezium.

While we don't see Javi G stand up fully, that shoulder-to-waist ratio is clearly still there, even if he is broader on both ends overall. That slutty nip in the waist is still very much present.

Ok that's all the analysis my turkey-fogged brain is capable of right now. This is such a broad topic (tehehe), consider this a prelude of sorts. I'm sure I'll be doing more of a deep dive one day, because we haven't even gotten to that little tush yet.
