“I just want a gay character who’s also a POC who is open but isn’t defined by either of those traits and is still a well-written, three-dimensional character”
You’re gonna have to try a little harder if you wanna scare me. I’ve been an openly gay cop since 1987, so you’re not the first superior officer to threaten me. You know how I’m still standing here? Because I do my job, and I do it right.
Ok but I love how they straight up expose all the microaggressive and macro aggressive bullshit he’s had to go through…
I love how Ray Holt is portrayed simultaneously as a serious, emotionless captain as well as the most dramatic and petty person on the whole team. I live for his deadpan dramatic-ness and I’ve honestly never seen a character like him before on TV
The first time we see Kevin, he describes Holt as hilarious and the other characters are bewildered by this, but Holt has been a prankster since the beginning of the show. In the very first episode, when he was making Jake carry on with the robot impression, he was pranking him. The hula hoop incident.The fact he got so into the Halloween heists. Winding Jake up is one of his greatest sources of amusement and he loves playing jokes on people.
It’s just that no one recognises them as jokes because his face stays utterly serious throughout.
tan: a leather jacket… over a hoodie… over a plaid shirt? what’s the inspiration behind this?
jake: bisexuality
jake: so my dad left when i was 7-
karamo, signing adoption papers: i am your father now
jake, already sobbing: not sure how my other gay black work dad will feel about this
bobby: so im gonna renovate ur house, really make the place organized
jake, sweating in adhd: uh not sure how long that will last
jonathan, putting away his razors in shock: wait what do you mean you physically can’t grow one?
holt, bursting through the doors in dramatic gay fashion: who is this ‘karamo brown’ and why are we involved in a custody battle?
OMGOSH. can you imagine Antoni asking Jake what he can cook and Jake just sorta doin that face and goin: Well there was that one time when I boiled an egg….
And antoni is just staring in complete and utter shock and he looks at amy, hopping that jakes kidding. And amys just nodding like ‘I was real proud of him’
a concept: future jake and amy having a kid BUT amy goes into labour on halloween and jake has to figure out if amy is cheating him out of the heist or if he’s actually about to have a kid
bold of you to assume she didnt plan to get pregnant exactly 9 months before halloween so that its actually both
bold of you to assume it wasnt jake who planned to get her pregnant exactly 9 months before so she’d be thrown off by contractions
bold of all of us to assume Holt didn’t pick an exact date to compliment them both so they’d have validation horniness so that jake AND amy were in disadvantage during the heist
Holt: your heteronormative lifestyle choices will bring about your demise
