Is Midnight Motel's computer genius Doi seeing our favorite wallet stealing stripper Judo from Dirty Laundry?

The folks on MDL think so, and so do I!

What Else I'm Watching

GMMTV PRESENTS

Series: DIRTY LAUNDRY (2023, THAILAND)

From: THE MIDNIGHT SERIES

Category: THAI DRAMEDY

As Neon (RACHANUN MAHAWAN aka FILM) and Night (KORAPAT KIRDPAN aka NANON) run from shady men they luckily (or not so much) happen to run into Judo (NARAVIT LERTRATKOSUM aka POND) in a car with a client (JUDO is apparently a sex worker as well as exotic dancer)

And his client is threatening to open the door where the shady dude still waits if Judo doesn't fulfill his obligations. So..

To save his friends (for lack of a better word) Judo does the deed. You know what they say..if the van is a rocking don't bother knocking.

In the meantime, the backseat unwilling watchers are a but traumatized especially virginal Neon

Judo >>>> Palm and Ice >>>> Nueng

The raw chaotic energy of this scene is unparalleled.

i'm dead @ the chaotic proletarian solidarity of judo letting night and neon hide from loan sharks in his car in the middle of his sex work appt, and then proceeding to fuck her right in front of them bc ~she's paying him hourly~ i'm fucking LOSING IT over night and neon's traumatized reactions and esp night's high-pitched "thank you, thank you" while neon is fanning herself lmaooo whoever wrote this show must've had the time of their fucking lives

Pond Naravit as Judo in Dirty Laundry (2023) ep4

Welcome Back!!!

Been meaning to ask you, do you think Neji has to go through clothes a lot considering he's wearing mostly white? Like thats a LOT of blood, dirt, grass stains, sweat, etc he'd have to constantly remove. Does Konohana have some of the worlds best laundry soaps or what???

This gave me a laugh hah, thank you so much for this ask! 🤭 Because I have spent a somewhat unreasonable amount of time thinking about the practicalities of the Naruto universe, I do have thoughts on this!

As I've said before, I love the white because of how much it says "You won't lay a single finger on me." Obviously we've seen Neji dirty and roughed up plenty of times, but it's the powerplay of it all that matters most. However, once all that blood, dirt, grass stains, sweat etc., do accumulate, what's a shinobi to do?

Before we get to that I want to say I believe most if not all clothes in the ninja world are made of sturdy cottons and canvases and other materials designed to take a lot of abuse. If you read up on, say, the gi worn during karate or judo, you learn they are made of similar materials with reinforced stitching for increased durability and better absorbing of sweat. Some will be lighter than others in order to facilitate better mobility. (I will mention that Bruce Lee's famous jumpsuit which inspired Gai and Lee's look was apparently made of polyester, which isn't ideal for dealing with sweat; in the anime it often looks more like spandex from how tight it is which is at least better for that.) I think Kishimoto generally draws clothing with a nice thickness and weight that helps reinforce this idea.

I also think they probably own a few different uniforms which is actually a semi-decent in-universe explanation for Cartoon Characters Who Only Ever Wear One Thing. (Especially since Naruto characters are seen in more casual clothes in their off hours.) I imagine Ninja Tailors are used to essentially doing bulk orders. And because ill-fitting clothing can be a distraction, keeping your measurements up to date would be important. So basically, as warriors, they would feel an obligation to treat their uniforms like a piece of equipment just like their kunai, and as they may regularly maintain their weapons and get new ones they would maintain their combat wardrobe.

To the actual washing question ... in some ways, white is better to wear for stains because you can use bleach fearlessly! An 'ideal laundry scenario' for example: Neji either does not use a deodorant or anti-antiperspirant, or uses a natural one which does not contain chemicals like aluminum. (The reaction of sweat with these chemicals is the primary cause for pit stains. Stains caused by this do not respond well to bleaching, sidenote.) If things were to stain, the stain is not given time to set and is instead immediately treated with cold water. (Hot water is good only for certain stains -- generally it's better to go with cold.) If needed properly diluted bleach is added to the wash and I guess everything in the colourful world of Naruto is pretty colourfast so they don't need to worry so much about bleach stains.

Of course, how much this ideal laundry routine is followed through on ... on the battlefield they don't have time for it and at home is every shinobi some kind of laundry wizard? Ehh. I think either them or people in their lives are probably more used to dealing with nasty stains because it's part of their culture, so it's not unlikely, but I can also see a lot slipping through the cracks. Clothes would slowly gain permanent stains and tears that need to be patched and would eventually be replaced, and though I think this is likely what's going on in-universe, it's not something we would ever see happening even if Kishimoto thought of it because if clothing is marked up outside of a combat scene you're going to be going "Damn, who hit him?" Not to say wear and tear is something that's impossible for an artist to convey, but damaged clothing tends to either indicate living in some kind of impoverished/difficult situation or active combat.

(Nagato before and after being sheltered and cared for by Jiraiya.)

I do like to imagine shinobi and their families swapping laundry and sewing tips, recommending tailors, enthusing about oxygen bleach versus traditional chlorine bleach and so on. Gotta keep yourself looking good when you're headed off to active combat!

TL;DR: I think less amazing laundry soaps (though I wouldn't say no to that) but more a good understanding of which fabrics work best as activewear in combat, and how to then treat these fabrics when they have been damaged is the winning combination!

[petrichoraline]

okay let's say judo is innocent - night could have, a thousand percent, slid that bracelet off if he jumped into a surprise make out session and disoriented him

[respectthepetty]

Dirty Laundry gets that people who were raised on soap operas and telenovelas are built different.

We will not hesitant to slap you. Repeatedly. Time and place does not matter.

It also understands that Nanon is very pretty.

Appreciated.
