The fact that Ben is now a big tiktok audio for the “she knocked that smug look off my face” I love it

[@merksmirs]

Most of the Elias section just sounds like Elias lost a bet to Peter and was forced to say those things against his will as a result

[@iupooiresa]

They're going to divorce over it, I'm sure.

David "gender is a prison and I CHEWED THROUGH THE BARS" 7 is going to live in my head forever I love him dearly
