THE PITT (2025-)
@tinkerbelldetective requested Dennis Whitaker
Let’s talk about how Gihun felt watching the other players in the pentathlon.
He’s not stupid. He knows he has to pick his battles to win this war. He knows he is powerless without allies. He went into the games alone with faith in his heart that people will help him and make the right choice.
But some of that faith is challenged—they lose the first vote. Surely they’ll win the next vote after more players see the brutality of the second game when he has no knowledge of it to protect them.
Still, he has to watch players wearing red patches get gunned down. He has to watch them die knowing they wanted to leave and he failed to sway the votes, knowing his efforts backfired and feeling the weight of that.
He watches the clock with bated breath, shakes when bodies hit the dirt, cheers like he’s won big at the tracks when players pass.
What an intense experience it must have been for him.
no idea if netball is a thing in the us but santos rly strikes me as a netball player.. maybe soccer? but not as a consistent thing she's just really fast and enjoys running. However. boxer santos has my whole heart though im going to keep thinking of that wow ..
it might be played recreationally but, as far as i know, it's not played professionally here. this is also the first time i'm hearing of the sport.
i got the boxer idea because i doubt krav maga is the only martial art that she's into. i feel like she's dabbled in jiu-jitsu. nothing to back this up, it's just a feeling.
soccer is a solid option, i think. your remark about her enjoying running makes me imagine her doing morning runs on her days off.
we do not talk enough about Whitaker snapping back "day's only half over" when Santos says "at least I haven't killed anyone"
he may be an innocent, wet kitten farm boy half the time but this boy has SASS and ATTITUDE from being tortured by three older siblings as a kid and I love to see it. I cannot wait to see the Whitaker/Santos relationship develop into them being ride-or-dies who insult and bitch at each other all day long
Not 100% satisfied but this is as good as it’s gonna get xD
