I can't even with a gif right now.
I can barely with a post right now.
How can we even talk about this?
What is life anymore?
Okay... five hours later and I managed gifs.

Everything was just... oh god.
Stanton.
Jared and Peter.
Oh god.
...besides that.
Umm...
I don't know. I don't... Damien and Anita? That happened. And then didn't happen. Which was for the best. But their clients were cute.
Ellen? Ellen happened and it was kind of sad. (and poor Bonnie, she's gonna think she's not wanted in any LA restaurants now)
Dan was... Dan.
Ellen and Jared happened. It was heading towards happening anyway so I can't complain. I'm just... happy they didn't get like married or anything.
And Jared knows her so well. Not making her say 'love'. It's nice. They're nice.
Stanton had some nice moments with Damien. That was nice.
Jared maybe gave Peter mouth to mouth while he was having a panic attack from eating deadly fugu... that was nice.
They said 'I love you'... they're gambling on whether to break up... and they said 'I love you'.
Can't. I can't.

He doesn't want this. Peter doesn't want this. Oh god. SO wrong and amazing and wrong.
(and you know if Ellen knew about it she wouldn't want this either, like no way would she be in any way responsible for them even thinking of not being together.)

Like, even if they for whatever reason actually went through with not being together always, like if Ellen even allowed that to happen, because maybe she thought about them being "adults" or whatever, and like it'd make him straighten up and fly right or something...only to realize that half of Jared is Peter? That he's like not even the same person? He's changed into a weird, unrecognizable, "adult" because it's what he's "supposed to" be like, but isn't who he really is? And Jared would think that this shell is what Ellen wants and what Infeld Daniels needs and he'd just be pushing all of who he is out...
And Peter would be doing the same thing, but elsewhere. But he'd still have to keep up the persona of Bash of Franklin and Bash, because that's who they hired, so it's just this pale imitation of what they naturally had together.

JUST A FEW EPISODES AGO THEY PROMISED TO LIVE TOGETHER UNTIL THEY WERE EIGHTY. THEY PROMISED.
no subject
They can't take back promises like that. It's unfair and not right. I don't even think it's legal.
no subject
Easy stuff first: I don't know how I feel about Damien and Anita. I guess he was kind of mean to her when they first met, and the turn around feel weird to me. Idk.
Anita wondering if Peter and Jared are finally getting married. I can't.
Ellen. Ellen was adorable. I love her so much. I love their mutual confession of exaggerated hatred. I love her and Jared together, and I love Peter and Jared together and I just want Jared and Ellen and Peter to all get together and live a beautiful ot3 life together.
I nearly cried when Jared asked to see Peter's tongue, and then claimed he gave him mouth to mouth.
They almost broke up and then they're putting their break up to a game of chance, and they said I love you and then the episode ended. I'm not okay.
no subject
The whole Damien and Anita thing felt a bit like filler. Thrown together oddness.
There's probably an office betting pool about when Peter and Jared are going to get hitched.
*hearts all around you and all around a Peter/Jared/Ellen ot3 life*
Nothing will ever be okay with that ending. The love, the betting, the possible break up. How could they think that we could survive an ending like that?
no subject
Damien and Anita seems sort of sweet but also a bit nothingy to me. Like they don't especially play off each other, and they're a bit pointless and Damien and Hanna are still my thing so I don't really buy him ever loving anyone else. I don't really buy anyone being happy ever with anyone else when they've had Hanna in their life.
Also I can't believe that we had to put up with Damien and Anita being NOTHING when Peter and Jared were being EVERYTHING. And Stanton! I keep not even thinking about him. OH god.
This episode was beautiful and awful and even if it is the total end of them then at least it was awesome.
no subject
Peter was like 'you should go after her' and then he was like 'I'm not holding you back' and then he was like 'suicidal' and then he was like 'right I'm probably just going to move away then because you're in love with someone else and I can't deal and this whole thing is awful and I have emotions and it's too much'. HE IS PERFECT AND I LOVE HIM and I love how it used to be him and Janie and they were the reason they had to go to the firm and now it's Jared and Ellen and Jared feeling all responsible for the firm and feeling like a grown up.
It's so beautiful. I mean there's no way they shouldn't have let us see Jared trying to give him mouth to mouth during a panic attack, and there's no way that didn't end with making out and Jared realising that Ellen was cool but Peter was his HEART and then they got vegas married and the rest of the episode was clearly just a lie and a dream and an au. But apart from that I liked what we got. I hate Jared for being so heterosexual with Ellen that it HURTS ME. I really really don't think she'd have worn a floaty dress to come and stop his wedding. I feel kind of bad for Ellen's character with forcing romance on her, but she handles it pretty well with still being her because she's amazing. I hope she gets a spinoff. And an ot3 sitcom. And awards.

MAKE TEHM COME BACK. SOMEHOW USING MAGIC MAKE THEM COME BACK AND BE ALL AWKWARD ABOUT HAVING NEARLY BROKEN UP ON A FUCKING WHIM AND MAKE THEM CONFRONT STUFF AND CUDDLE A BIT.
Also Stanton and Damien and everything ugh. I can't believe Peter ate his fish. Sorry, it all comes down to Peter/Jared for me even though other people. He believes in curses and in fate and he was just like 'yeah well I might as well die in vegas...' like I don't know, I just feel like he's been a bit rudderless lately with Jared having love and him having nobody really at all and not even chasing after the thing with Wendy which normally he would be all over because they're clearly good together.
I have to die now.
no subject
Oh god, I didn't even connect Peter eating the fugu with Ellen showing up and Jared thinking about going for her.
And I couldn't believe Peter with his 'It's not me that's holding you back' stuff, like Jared's feelings for him aren't important or that his feelings for Jared aren't important.
Ellen looked so pretty in that dress, but yes, she would not have gotten all dolled up to go off and fight (or whatever she thought she was going to do with Bonnie, poor, sweet Bonnie) for Jared, like what even. She and Anita need the no man sitcom for sure.
It's like as soon as Jared maybe got something "permanent" Peter just went down hill. That's it, cutting ties, maybe dying, moving away, like what even?
There going to come back and be all 'what happens in vegas stays in vegas and everything's the same and wonderful and also Damien came back in and saved Stanton so everything's just peachy with everyone now.' because they can't just not do that.
no subject
YES. OH GOD. The gifs are terrible, I can't even look at them because oh my god no, none of this should be happening. I feel kind of hollow. BUt Peter's face, yeah, kind of reassuring, like he knows that Jared loves him but there's too much to say and he's just going to leave instead because askjdhfowijsdf. Because it's all too much.
I don't know how they'd start the next season if they get one. Just having it land black and Peter staying and them both knowing that he's only really there because of a 50 50 chance and what does that make them? and they sort of just carry on but with this thing always between them?
Or maybe Peter just walks away right after the ep ended, without staying to see where it lands because the mere fact that they're playing fucking roulette with their future is enough to prove they don't have one or whatever and then ...
I DON'T REALLY UNDERRSAND HOW THINGS ARE OKAY AGAIN but maybe eventually there will be fic and everything will be fine.
no subject
I so totally, definitely need another season, but if for some god forsaken reason we don't get one I guess it's good that nothing's permanent...? terrible awful silver lining? We can fic as much as we want...? So many options....? Only most of them tragic...?
(as much as we love tragedy we certainly can't handle it when it happens)
Peter can't not go, Jared couldn't living with the idea that he prevented Peter from doing something amazing.
Oh, Peter just walking away. Quietly leaving. Quietly packing... and Jared just comes back to an empty house. Oh no. That's terrible.
They'd have to time jump it I suppose... maybe a montage of Peter packing and leaving, settling in, doing "okay"... maybe we don't really know what happened to Stanton... but maybe Damien still takes over the firm... there's a montage of him adding Karp to Infeld Daniels and taking off Bash, while Jared stands there looking sad, and then he also takes off Franklin as Jared walks away (cause no way Damien lets Jared stay a name partner)... maybe there's a montage of Jared and Ellen... of Jared moving out of the beach house, moving into Ellen's tiny apartment (because he can't afford to keep the beach house and Ellen doesn't also want to live with Dan), Dan looking sad because he has no where to go... Peter and Jared in separate court rooms, trying separate cases, trying to have their usual enthusiasm... them both saying something and then turning to the empty space on their side, where the other one used to be, before realizing that they're alone...
And then Chive relocates Peter back to LA and offers Jared a job and Stanton's actually alive and comes back and gives Damien a what for and everything's fine. Yes.
no subject
That montage would be incredible. Jared eating alone at the diner, Peter having panic attacks with no-one there to calm him down, them both trying to do hypotheticals with random people in lifts because they're so so bored.
And faking his death seems very Stanton like. I was really happy when they opened the briefcase and it looked like he had about three or four different passports, but actually I don't know if they are, and I suppose he would have british and american ones anyway.
no subject
And the people in the lifts just looking at them like 'Go away weirdo.' because no one should ask strangers hypotheticals about who'd they rather.
Stanton definitely would. Like I can not believe that Stanton wouldn't realize that he can give himself the heimlich and defy his destiny, like come on. And then decide to go away for a while to "find the real him" or something. And, yes, it totally looked like multiple passports, like it was the rich guy version of a bug out bag.
no subject
And Ellen is hurt, but understands (maybe once Jared explains how Peter was going to leave she gets that he wouldn't be the same man without him) and accepts them and doesn't tease them too much, and eventually Ellen decides that maybe they can still make it work and she can be the baby mama, because she is secretly weak to the combined puppy eyes of Peter and Jared.
And then Ellen is the one who goes on to have an excellent career and becomes senior partner at a respected firm (idk if Infield, Daniels, Franklin and Bash counts anymore. They're unclear about that) and brings in all the money and while Perer and Jared get to be themselves and pick the clients they want and be adorable smothering parents.
I may have spent a lot of time thinking about this.
I really wish that Anita and Damien was more compelling. I'm not really ferling the chemistry and they're just kind of ... There. Even when they were fighting, it didn't really feel tense to me. Just kinda awkward. I still really like Hanna and Damien. Wish they'd bring her back. (And Carmen. Carmen needs to knock some sense into Jared and Peters heads).
no subject
And Ellen could start her own law firm with Hanna and they could make fortunes and have all the best clients and stuff while Peter and Jared work out of their house, looking after the children and solving their ridiculous cases and making each other smile constantly. And yes, Carmen would come back and maybe officially she'd work for both Ellen&Hanna's big firm, but she'd help out on all of F&B's cases too just because they need her more.

It really is too bad about Damien and Anita, it's like they just didn't know what to do with them.
Hanna needs to come back pronto. And Carmen too, yes. Everything would be so much more balanced.
