Saxon's feelings/behaviour towards Lochy
Ok, so, I've noticed that a lot of people don't seem to think Saxon has a thing for his brother, only for Piper and Lochy for him, and I wanted to show the evidence otherwise because it was literally the first thing I noticed.
After he asks how many bedrooms there are and is told it's three, he immediately says "Ok, so Lochy, you're with me."
Piper doesn't seem to like that and offers for him to sleep with her instead (knowing there was some kind incest vibe, it really came across like they're fighting over him). He then objects by pointing out brothers and sisters shouldn't sleep together. Which seems like a classic way to set up for possible gay stuff, "oh it's just guys/girls, don't worry, we can be naked around each other, no big deal".
When Piper invites Lochy to the temple, he immediately goes. "No, we were gonna go to the pool".
He asks him again like he's genuinely upset at Lochy possibly not going with him, and maybe even by being with his sisters instead. Once again, like they're fighting over him, it's even framed with Lochy looking indecisive at the two of them, not knowing which option to pick (parallel with the college thing? Possibly a common theme for his character).
After he says he'll go to temple first and then the pool after, he's still upset.
When Lochy does get to the pool, he notices it and calls him immediately.
After a quick question about the monks, what does he do? Grab his dick and talk about how he gets so horny traveling.
When they're in bed, he immediately starts to talk shit about Piper's buddishm and her overall attitude in life, saying Buddism is for people who "want to supress in life", and most notably. "Don't have desires, don't even try."
And then he tells him that it's good to want things, at least if you can have them. If we're to assume he knows about Lochy possibly being attracted to him, this feels like a subtle way of encouraging that. Of telling it's ok to have these desires, that it's worth a try...
And there's where it comes the theory that Piper isn't actually into Lochy but just trying to "protect" him from Saxon, possibly because he tried something with her in the past and she didn't like it. So no wonder he's bitter about her and thinks she wants to "supress things".
In this case, by telling Lochy to do the opposite, the implication would be that he should "give it a try" with him, unlike her.
He comments on how good-looking he is.
And then tells him he "Doen't need to shrink away from life like her". Again, if we're going with the theory that he tried something with her in the past, he's trying to push him in the other direction. Don't reject it.
And then, you know. Asking him what kind of porn does he like. Going back, he does that right after saying he should "get laid, get everything" and that he's "going to help him" with that.
It's also just, like, the most classic and obvious set-up, to bring in sex/porn into the conversation, the idea of watching it together or what not...
"How the fuck am I going to jerk off with you in here all week."
Already kinda suggestive considering the vibes, but... Remember that he asked to room with him, and even objected when Piper suggested otherwise, when that would've left him with his own room.
I guess the confusing part is when he closes the door after he noticed Lochy still watching him. But honestly it would probably be too far to just jerk off in front of him like he's not even trying to not be weird.
He might just be playing the long game, and walking up naked to watch porn with him still awake in the room still feels like quite a tease. He might also just be getting cold feet, or, perhaps, the whole thing is subconscious rather than on purpose and at that moment he has the realization of how weird this situation is.
There's actually a moment where you can notice him thinking about whether Lochy is looking before he looks back at him, and it seems like he's a little nervous about it (before this shot he was just looking at the screen, but then he raises his head to question it).
So, cold feet? Checking to see if the teasing is working or if he looked away? A bit freaked out with the realization of how weird he's been?Idk, but it's definetely not one-sided, and I was actually more surprised at the implication that Lochy felt the same.
I also find it interesting that Patrick Schwarzenegger tweeted this:
I don't think it's just about the scene in the pic, because does a famous milf and an obviously attractive girl really warrant "Anything and everything"? I feel like that makes more sense if his character is up to something gay and/or weird.
