Random Thoughts about High School Frenemy (EP 1 – 8) : Let Free the curse of Siamwit School

It's been 8 episodes that I've watched HSF and there is something that I found very interesting in the story and I've been thinking about it since episode 5. However, I needed some time to think about how I would be talking about it. This series lives rent free in my mind at the moment and there are so many things to say. This time I want to talk about the feud in Siamwit School between Udon Phithak campus and Thep Burapha. It's probably something the viewers of the OG version already experienced so I hope they won't mind that I'm talking about it because I've discovered the story through HSF and I haven't watched the OG version (not planning to watch it yet too because I want to experience HSF without knowing anything else prior).

The animosity between the two campus started 16 years ago before the story of Shin and Saint. Louis, a student from Udon Phithak was bullying other students from Thep Burapha. They were the victims of extortion. This student was stopped by Sung, who was a student at that time from Thep Burapha. He stopped the extortion by being more violent to Louis and his followers. Soon, Louis was bullied by students from Thep Burapha. It was revenge for them, as he was the one who bullied them before or made them feeling insecure. The viciousness of their actions started to be impossible for him to bear and he committed suicide by jumping of a building. From this point, the hatred between the two campus started and never stopped. In the present time, Shin is the leader of the Udon Phithak's campus and Ken is supposed to be the leader of the Thep Burapha's campus, before the school administrator Paphada decides to merge the two campus together. Most of the students or teachers can't exactly remember well how the conflict started. They know that one student died and that the conflict never stopped from this point, but who were the real protagonists of it, they don't remember. In the present, Sung is a teacher who is working with Class 2 where you can find Shin, Ken, Saint and different students from either Udon Phithak or Thep Burapha.

I think there is a parallel between Sung's past and Shin and Saint's lives. Sung was a hot-headed student from Thep Burapha. He probably thought at that time that he was saving his fellow students and his violence was justified because Louis was also very violent towards others. Maybe he thought it was justice. The consequences of his actions only became real when he witnessed the suicide of Louis. We don't know yet what happened, but from this time he probably rethought his life. In the flashback, we saw that Sung never really back down from fighting against Louis or other students from Udon Phithak. He was apparently a good fighter. However, when Sung met Jeng to plead for his students' safety, he tells Jeng that he is “a peaceful man” and that he has other means to act that doesn't require violence or fighting. Sung from the past would probably have fought with Jeng and his gang to obtain what he wanted. The Sung for the present probably doesn't want to repeat the same mistake from the past. He still feels guilty as it is shown in his conversation with another teacher from the school. I wonder if Sung agreed to teach to Class 2 because he saw himself in them and knowing the terrible consequence of hatred, he may want to end this before history repeats itself. I just wonder why he thinks his way is better than Jan. I feel like the students bonded more with Jan than Sung, but I may be wrong because it's true they remain on the defensive with every teacher.

Shin, just like Sung, started to become the leader of his campus, when he defended Chatjen the same way Sung defended his fellow student. Someone was extorting money, and they stopped them by saying they are their friend. In both ways, they wanted to fight to make sure their friends/ fellow students would be free from their bully. When you watch the series, they almost say the same thing. I still think it's a pity that Sung never really try to reach out to Saint or Shin because he must know what it feels. When Sung wants to help the students, it's never by talking to them or trying to convince them. It's mostly the job of Jan even though she was never in the same situation. It's like she gets the role of caring, while he gets the role of protecting them from behind. I hope he will have in the next episodes the possibility to show them how he relates easily to what they are living because of his past. I get that he would prefer that it stays in the past because he is ashamed of what happened. In this end, Louis died because of him and Jom who was the bully in Shin's time, also died. If Louis died as a direct consequence of Sung's actions, Jom died from an accident that wasn't related to Shin. We can also point that Louis got bullied by the rest of the students, but in Shin's time, Jom just loose his title of leader of the Udon Phithak campus. That's the first difference between Shin and Sung. I also think that Sung was more prouder than Shin when he was the leader.

I feel this proud makes him closer to Saint from the past. When Saint was younger, he was the leader of his own gang and he was proudly nicknamed “Tsunami” because when he was going after someone, no one could beat him. His use of violence could be compared to the one Sung used in the past. They were both leader of their own “gang” and they both rely a lot on their strength to establish themselves. They both used too much of their violence and in the end they both felt bad because of the terrible consequence it had: Sung witness the suicide of Louis and understood that he went too far, while Saint fought his best friend, injured him and lost his friendship. They both lives in the present with the guilt of what they've done. Sung decided to become a teacher and probably help students to avoid having the same fate as Louis. As for Saint, he wants to be what Shin wants. Saint will only heal if Shin is also healing. His remorse, just like Sung, are true and they are both willing to work on whatever they need to, to be able to heal from this and maybe earn the needed forgiveness. I also feel Sung should have been more open with Saint when he tried to convince him to get back to school. That would have been a great time to connect to him. I don't know exactly, but I feel it was a missed opportunity.

The curse of Siamwit School is rooted in violence, guilt and death (real and figurative). To be able to break from this curse, the healing journey won’t be easy, but it will be interesting to watch.

Idk if I'm gonna get jumped for this but....Iiii don't know if it's really appropriate to call Vander Jinx's dad. He definitely was her guardian, with huge uncle energy for sure, but dad? Like, dad is something really personal and requires a high level of closeness, and they didn't seem to share that bond. Out of all the kids Powder seemed to be the most removed from him and share very little traits/interests with him, and after growing up we don't see Jinx care about him at all. So, idk, to call him her dad seems more like a fanservice to me rather than what can be confirmed by the show.

He's defo her dad in the au, tho, because there he would spend a lot more time with her and because of Vi's death pay more attention to her, therefore tightening their bond.

UPD: I mean, Vander isn't even a part of her hallucinations. Now, you could argue that it's too traumatic for her even to remember him as is seen in season 1 ep9, but I think it's the opposite, actually. Knowing Silco he probably yapped about Vander all the time (and he literally does this in ep5), so Jinx definitely remembers him and thinks of him to some extent. But why then his hallucination appeared only once? Well, I think it only happened because Jinx was under extreme pressure already, plus she recently had a shimmer operation, which could've worsened her mental state, hence Vander appearing as a hallucination. Again, this is just how I see it, I may be wrong, but I do think this view of their relationship is rational enough.

*Ages of this post based on information from Jason and Tim's original runs in the 80s, as im still in the process of reading the comics and I respect original runs more anyway

Jason was 12 (pre-crisis, not contradicted) when Bruce adopted him at some point after Dick left, and Dick had left Wayne Manor for about 2 years by the time Jason died (Batman #436) making Jason 14 at death, to turn 15 that year if his birthday is August 16th

Tim is 13 when he introduces himself after Jason's death (Batman #441)

They have like, a 1-2 year age difference

Jason returns to life 6 months after his death, spends 1 year in the hospital, then 1 year on the streets before someone recognizes him as Robin, then 1 year with the league of assassin's before being thrown into the pit (Batman Annual #25)

A total of 3 years with Jason running on just instinct and muscle memory before being healed by the pit

Therefore, Jason, while physically older, is largely missing 3 years of his life

Jason is younger than Tim

Thank you coming to my ted talk

i for one would love to hear the remainder of ur thoughts on maggie tozier…

EEEE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING!!! This means so much coming from you Kat 😭

okay a few things to note before i begin

This is a lot

Its a lot of me redoing her from the ground up, her personality, her looks, her background, her relationships etc, etc.

So just know, im taking like a thousand creative liberties with this

To begin i based her looks on the character Deirdre Barlow from an old brit soap opera called Coronation Street.

I imagine she literally looks like her kids, they get almost 90% of her genes and look like mini versions of her. Though she perms her hair to fit in with the trends, and tv has sold her a bunch of at-home perm styling kits. She's got pronounced jowls like Richie does, he probably has her wide nose too. Her fashion is very on brand for the time with lots of sweaters and jeans and big clunky jewelry.

I always imagined, much like every little homo, Richie got a lot of his fashion from his mama..

and cartoons.

She's average height, and probably is on and off diets but never takes it too seriously. Besides she enjoys baking and is always trying some recipe she saw Julia Childs make. She's kind of a stocky woman, it just runs in the family to be sorta squarish and have this bulldog look to them.

As for personality i personally never cared for Kings description of her as a kind of wishy washy woman who cried at everything Richie did or said.

For me i liked to think someone like Richie needs a mom who matches his energy and can take on his rambunctiousness. Even if it takes grabbing him by the ear and dragging him back inside to get a verbal slashing. She's not overly dominant or strict, just used to Richie always mucking up mud and knows how to rear him back even if he still embarrasses her in public sometimes with his trashmouth. I mentioned this before but i see Maggie as one of the, if not ONLY, better parental figures in the loser club. She genuinely cares about Richies friends because of how few and far between there is. Any kid in her house is her kid, she feeds and provides a safe place for anyone he brings home. Even if she doesn't understand some of their interests, or lingo, or fashion statements, or music. She's a moms mom, always referring to any kid as 'hon' 'baby' or 'sweetheart.' She can be fun and doesn't take anything toooo seriously, but she still cares about appearances. She's like an average sitcom mom who wants to look like a good mom and have a normal family with a happy life. She's also, a giant dork.

Much like her son, she too is kind of a loser. She's got that Tozier awkwardness, always making jokes where there shouldn't be, laughing too loudly/obnoxiously, always making references to pop culture even if nobody in the room has a clue what they're referring to. She doesnt really have a lot of friends 😭

She definitely tried, oh my god did she try. She would bake goodies and strap baby Richie into one of those backpack carriers and go around the neighborhood trying to introduce herself and her stinky ugly baby. And it was hard, Derrys an old, OLD small town. Backwards, judgmental, harsh, hateful. Unfortunately she just wasn't that privy with the other moms around her. But she desperately wanted to be, being a stay at home mom is lonely work. She dreamt of just being that sitcom housewife that makes the perfect dinner and snaps her fingers to clean the house in an instant and talks, and talks, and talks on the phone. She wants in on the mom gossip. She wants to be apart of a community SO badly.

Sonia is one of her few mom friends and even then that's more of a obligated friendship, their only common interests being their children and television. She kind of finds Sonia annoying and doesn't approve of her parenting methods, always rolling her eyes when the phone rings while Eddies staying the night, knowing its some new task she'll have to force the boy to do. Though she enjoys that Sonia will listen to her blabber, even if shes probably just sitting and watching tv while Maggie drones on about this and that and giving an assuring "uh huh" as a sign of life. Maggie's such a tv head too, i love to think she enjoys watching Cheers the most along with various soap operas and game shows. Her family bonds over tv with tv dinners on tv stands while they parrot tv quotes at each other. She probably has to shoo Richie away whenever Cheers is on, needing time to debrief and mumble to herself about Dianes complicated romances. And shes got a crush on Fraiser, god you and your mom have crushes on wimpy mama boys in suits lordd

I based a lot of her personality on Calvins mom from Calvin and Hobbes

I played around a bit with her background. I know she's depicted as Catholic but i always imagined she grew up Jewish, only quitting the practice when she and Went got married. Her views on religion are mixed, not wanting to really skew her children in any direction, but celebrating Christmas to fit in with everyone else in Derry. Not that it really helped because she never took them to church. Evil bastard child and her half demon brother whos annoying. Her and her parents relationship are a bit if not totally strained, they probably disapproved of Went back when they first met as teens. Their reasons were based mostly on Wents social status, but they were also just very critical of Maggie and every choice she made. She always felt suffocated by her parents and Went just made her feel clear and airy. Though it was mostly puppy love that kept them together at the time, their love would continue to blossom over the years as they got older and older. They truly loved each other.

I had this whole idea that he and Maggie were young lovers at 18, falling in love like it was the movies as they hid it from their parents. But she would end up pregnant with Rachel like REALLY early on, and it would kind of "ruin" any "plans" they had of running off together and going to some local college while Went worked. Which only added more strain to her and her parents relationship as they went off to have a small shot-gun wedding at a courthouse. Only able to afford a dress and flowers at the time, but she still looks back at it fondly and probably passed her dress on to Rachel later in life. She is still in contact with her parents but only rarely do they go visit, Richie hates the smell of his grandpa and always tries to rile them up by doing impressions of Mickey Mouse.

She's one of the youngest mothers in Derry, only making her more of an outcast in the judging eyes of others, but she loves her kids more than she ever felt she was loved as a child. She always wanted a girl, just enjoyed shopping for one and bonding with one and brushing their hair and decorating their room and doing their nails and makeup together. She adored Rachel, she was exactly what she dreamed of when she thought of raising a little girl. Their relationship is really close even if Rachel began to pull away towards her teen years. (I have SO many ideas for her as well 😭)

Much like her, Richie was a surprise/accident. She never really imagined herself caring for a boy and found it a bit more difficult, especially since their age gap is a bit wide. But even through her rolling eyes and yelling Richies full government name when she finds her nightgown cut with eyeholes in it for his ghost costume, she loves her son.

Their relationship is VERY much like Linda and Gene. While she doesnt care much for Richies crude humor and snappy quips, she cant help but hide a smile sometimes when she hears him and Rachel bickering back and forth. She genuinely thinks her son is really funny, just needs to tone it down a notch sometimes and not be the loudest voice in the room. God, shes probably taken him to talent shows at school. Tying Wents best looking polkadot tie around his neck while he nervously flips through his note cards, getting his glasses all sweaty as he quietly asks if maybe they, um, can just go home instead. And she'd sigh and clean his stupid thick glasses for him and tell him hes going to do wonderful. "You're funny Richie, real funny." And when she see's him waddle up onto the stage, nervous, scared, and tiny. Her smile would be bigger than her heart, having to flash him a healthy thumbs up to boost his little confidence. But of course he would fumble, sputtering every joke, never getting to the punchline, or getting their too early, and he'd be too quiet for the people in the back to even hear him. And Maggie would be the only one clapping, the loudest she can too. That's her funny guy. She lets him cry to her and wipes his tears with her sleeve. She never bought into the way most moms treat their sons, she wanted Richie to grow up loving someone with his full heart. Even if it means she coddles him sometimes.

And her and Went have a very loving relationship, very average and kind of mundane in a sweet way. They're very genuine, Wents sort of a passive guy who listens to his wife nightly rants about her day and enjoys it. He loves her more than his vocabulary allows him. Simple guy, loves his wife, laughs when his kids curse at each other, works wayyyy too much.

God this family

I think that's the brunt of my thoughts, most of my ideas are just small little things that add to her greater personality. I also loooove parental parallels so there's always tiny shit between her, Richie, and Rachel even.

In chapter 2 i think she's still alive, Went died from liver cancer a bit into Richies 30s (Toziers are kind of functional alcoholics.) So now she resides in Florida, where Richie bought her a nice home near the beach. He doesn't visit, or call that often which depresses her a little. But she understands, plus Rachel still often comes by with her children to visit and catch up.

I have list long notes on all the Toziers, they're genuinely one of my favorite fictional families and i literally highjacked them and made them my own 😭

OH! and i imagine she's got a collection of antique clown decorations. Vases, paintings, statues, gnomes, you name it. It's why Richies not very fond of them. Or going into her room much.

Tldr; Your mamas a loser like you
