Peter being the shorter one in LonelyEyes is objectively funnier because Elias doesn’t give a fuck about anyone’s opinions of him, least of all Peter’s, while Peter acts like an irrational pissbaby when Elias teases him. Elias could call Peter short one (1) time and Peter would spitefully come to all their future meetings with cuban heels on.
You know he’s spiteful enough to do this. The final lines of his statement are literally just ‘I was so salty about losing to Elias that I ran in here and now I’m gonna die’.
Something I’ve been thinking about: I often see Elias and Peter get the ‘old men in love’ treatment, when the reality is that Elias is over two centuries old and he’s known Peter since Peter was young and has been manipulating Peter for most of his adult life. He saw a young, sheltered man who’d spent most of his life in an abusive environment and was like
They’re so far out of the ballpark of ‘old men in love’ that the ball has disappeared into the ether.
Obviously I’m not impervious to soft LonelyEyes propaganda, but they’re an incredibly unhealthy ship, not the fluffy alternative to other Elias ships.
