#Kinn also walking in with Chay: Porsche what the fuck

[vani-ash]

Thinking about Porsche treating Kim as a little brother, Porsche seeing Kim with Chay and thinking 'yeah im adopting him' Porsche telling Chay that he's not allowed to lose Kim, Porsche seeing Kim protect Chay and being so happy that Chay has someone else to look after him, Porsche seeing Kim sad about a fight he had with Chay and helping him win Chay back(ofc hes also consoling Chay with whatever fight happened but fuck if he'll let them break up over dumb arguments) Chay and Kim playfully fighting over who's the best little brother to Porsche (of course Porsche is going to choose Chay but hes elated knowing Kim sees him as brother figure) Porsche telling Kinn that he's stealing his rights as Kim's older brother beacuse Kinn sucks at it and Kinn being thoroughly confused(Tankhuns on thin ice with Porsche) Porsche teasing Kim about embarrassing shit he learns about from Kinn and Tankhun and Kim doing the same back to with stuff he learns about from Chay, Chay making jokes about how Kim's only with him for his brother, Porsche showing up to one of Wiks concerts not because Chay dragged him along but beacuse he wanted to come support Kim himself

Loved your answer to the: "How would you rank the Theeranyakapuls in terms of clinginess?" ask. Can we have Kittisawats as well please?

(prev) (and ❤❤!!)

if the theerapanyakuls are "everything i've let go of has claw marks" boys, the kittisawats are "i will cling until it shatters in my grip"

Porsche: man does not let anything go except grudges. the only reason why he doesn't hold grudges is because he's too busy trying to hold onto EVERYTHING ELSE. Vegas is shooting him but Porsche refuses to lose a friend. Kinn fucks up crossing lines but Porsche won't let go of his cute smile. absolutely never would've taken up Kinn's demand he runs away because it'd mean letting Kinn go. bows to mafia recruitment before giving up his childhood home. Porsche is still holding onto a promise he made to his mother when he was like six years old max. i maintain the only reason why Porsche tells Arthee to go away is because he was already negotiating his mafia contract in his head and couldn't risk anything on Chay's safety because he knew he wouldn't be around, he never would've let Arthee just walk out of their life without those special circumstances. honestly this is such a large part of why Kinn and Porsche work together so perfectly, neither of them ever want to let go of their people and they collect people under their umbrellas at a downright alarming rate.

Chay: also clings to things until they shatter except he is extremely choosy in what he clings to. he has to be, he doesn't have a choice given how hard he loves and how little he has. as furious as he is with Porsche leaving him to join the mafia, he will bow and accept all of Porsche's choices so he can keep his brother. there's no other choice to him really. Chay's already shown he's willing to give up everything else for Porsche, from their home to his dreams to their uncle, and he can't have already drawn that line and then give up Porsche too right after he got him back. he clings to Kim just as hard until Kim shatters it-- i will always maintain Chay approaching Kim after the mafia reveal was just to confirm if he was reading Kim's feelings correctly (he was). Chay would've accepted the mafia and the scheming in a heartbeat so long as Kim's feelings for him were real (they were). Kim walks away from him then, but even then, that isn't what shatters them-- when Kim interrupts him at the club, Chay lets Kim pull him away. he is more than willing to hear Kim out then, he just wants to know if Kim cares (he does). except instead of explaining himself when Chay demands an explanation, Kim says "fine, i'll stay out of your business from now on." that's when Chay gives up Kim, because Kim keeps showing that he cares but claiming the opposite, and Chay can't hold onto someone to his typical degree of sacrifice if he doesn't think they'll stay in the end. that's why he blocks Kim. that's why "why don't you stay" is the perfect apology-- the song that first brought them together, the song they worked on together, the song where Kim lays himself bare to say "i have nothing to offer, i can't drag you into my mess, i desperately want you to be here with me anyways." of course that would reach Chay, who's only wish in life is that his two people stay with him through hell and fire and let him take care of them as much they take care of him. of course that'd open the door back up with Chay, who just wants Kim to explain how he cares and stay.

the kittisawats' clinginess is actually the heart of one of my most favorite kp story concepts ever, which is pushing the mafia aspect to the point where it shatters something in Chay and he has to leave. because Chay will give up so much to stay with Porsche. if he's pushed to the point where he leaves Porsche, either Chay has Kim to fall back on or Chay has nothing, and both options are so much fun for different reasons. and then for Porsche...oh my god, Porsche. Porsche holds onto everything, but his top priority is still Chay. a large part of why he can hold onto everything else is because Chay works so hard to make himself okay and hold Porsche back, so having Chay hit a point where he can't would destabilize Porsche so bad. sure, he has everything else, but what does that matter if he doesn't have Chay? Porsche and Chay are so tightly intertwined and so desperately clingy in the same way that even just straining their relationship brings all this out. "what happens when you can no longer hold onto the person you'd give up everything for?" is a delightfully crunchy story question and so good for these two especially ❤

-Back on the Beat-

Part 4. 05

November 26th, 11:49am

Kim feels like his heart is in his throat. 

He and Chay arrived at the gardens a few minutes ago, Chay leading the way across the road towards the North entrance. 

Kim may lack confidence when it comes to this thing between them, but he isn’t a complete idiot. He’s pretty sure that he knows why Chay wanted to bring him here, and the anticipation is torture. 

He wishes Chay would just ask him out already.

Or kiss him. 

Or hold his hand. 

Or flip the script and tell him to fuck off forever. 

Something. 

Instead, Chay heads over the bridge at Marigold Gate and picks a flower from the garden. 

Kim follows a few steps behind.

They walk along the path together, heading towards the Japanese gardens. Kim isn’t sure if Chay has a destination in mind, so he just follows where Chay leads them.

It feels like an eternity waiting for Chay to start talking. They pass flower beds, trees and little lakes with toros and bridges. Chay spins his flower around and fiddles with the leaves. He looks like he has a lot on his mind.

Kim wonders if maybe he's supposed to start the conversation... but Chay is the one who asked him here, so Chay should he the one to begin talking, right?

They're entering into the English garden and Kim is becoming more and more unsure if Chay is waiting for him to say something when Chay finally looks over at him.

“I’ve been thinking a lot, p’Kim.” Chay starts. “I feel trapped where I am right now; with the compound, and the guards and always being watched by someone and the casual talk of violence and illegal things all the time. But… I feel like I’m becoming more and more used to how things are now... and it doesn’t make me as uncomfortable as it used to. I can’t imagine my life going back to how it was anymore, and I don’t think I would want it to if I had the choice. I used to want it to, but I don’t anymore.”

Chay looks back down at the flower in his hands, spinning it gently.

“What changed?” Kim asks. He knew Chay was feeling uncomfortable and a little displaced, but he thought it was mostly about what happened between them, and Chay trying to figure out what he wanted for his future and Porsche being so busy and less available. It never really occurred to him that Chay might also be feeling uncomfortable with his sudden proximity to the mafia. Kim is used to this world, he forgot how scary it can be for people who aren’t.

“Honestly? It was a bit of everything, but it was largely p’Kinn.”

Kim looked at him incredulously. “Kinn?”

“Yeah. We don’t talk much and I still find him a little intimidating... but hia is so happy with him that it’s hard to wish for things to be different. It was recognising that I didn’t want that to change for him that helped me feel more comfortable where I am right now. Then p’Khun’s fun and kindness, Arm and Pol, Nok and the other guards who are nice to me… and my relationship with you… And as much as I miss how things were, hia and I didn’t have it easy and he sacrificed a lot trying to provide for us and to keep us safe.” Porchay frowned down at his flower. “Maybe what I want for the future is to also help keep people safe, not just help them… but… I don’t know… what sort of career keeps people safe that doesn’t risk my own safety? I don’t want to put myself in danger if I can help it.”

Porchay seems to be going along a mental journey as much as they’re going along a physical one. They make their way along the path past the geodesic dome as Porchay rips one of the leaves off his stolen marigold, the water of the lake reflecting the midday sunlight and the pavilion in the distance.

Kim hums, encouraging Chay to continue. 

“Mmm I don’t know. But maybe you can help me brainstorm and figure it out, p’Kim? I could use someone to bounce ideas off of.”

Kim nods. “Yeah, of course.” 

Chay smiles at him before continuing. “I still don’t know what I want to do with university yet, but I do know some things I want.” Chay walks along the lake to a bushy area with a gazebo, stopping to lean against the side of it. Kim follows him, unsure where to stand and ending up placing himself awkwardly in front of where Chay leans.

“I want to keep making music, even if it’s not what I want to pursue professionally anymore. I want you to come to the family dinners more often. Your brothers miss you, and it’s nice having you there.

"I want to get to know p'Kinn more and build a relationship with the person who's so important to my brother.

“I want to figure out a way to move out of the compound. If that means I have to learn how to fight and take a couple guards with me then okay, but I hate living there so much…” Chay looks away and mumbles a low ‘sorry.’ Kim doesn’t mind. Chay is right: the compound is a fucking nightmare. Kim doesn’t miss it when he’s not there. 

Chay takes a deep breath. He stands up straight and raises his hand, bringing it up to tuck the marigold behind Kim’s ear. Kim’s breath catches, heart stuttering along with Chay’s movements. “I want you to be a part of my future too, p’Kim, if you still want to be.” He moves his hand back down, catching Kim’s on his way and holding his hand gently. “Maybe we could try going on a proper date? I’ll let you buy me boba tea.” He smiles, shy and playful. Kim’s heart feels like it’s about to hop right out of his chest and drown itself in the lake. Or join Chay’s in his chest. “And then maybe, afterwards, we can decide if we want to put a label to this?”

Kim swallows, looking out at the lake so he doesn’t have to keep looking into Chay’s sparkling eyes.

Fuck. This is everything he wants... and this is what he'd been expecting from this outing... and yet he can’t seem to get his words working.

He looks back at Chay, still gently holding his hand and smiling at him fondly. He reaches up to touch the flower behind his ear, words still escaping him.

Chay doesn’t seem to mind, though. Reading the answer on his face. His smile grows slowly, then he giggles lightly and tugs on Kim’s hand to get him to move, leading him a few steps back towards the path. “You’re so cute, p’Kim.” 

Kim frowns. How is he cute?

Chay tugs him along further, insistently, grinning at him with a light blush on his cheeks. 

“Com’on, com’on,” he laughs. “You can think about how to tell me 'yes' while we go look at the cacti.”

Kim touches the flower in his hair again. "Porchay… I.. "

"Mm?"

"Uh... I... Chay..." Kim takes a breath, "I think this flower might actually be a peony." Kim doesn't know what he's saying.

Chay stops in his tracks.

Kim laughs.

[ditch-lily]

hello my dear! as i was falling asleep last night i thought about your oceans 8 kimchay au again and then this thing popped out of me as soon as i woke up:

Kim surveys the gallery with a nonchalant air. "So what exactly am I stealing?" 

"My heart," mumbles Chay.

"What?"

"What?" Chay looks at her audio controls, and sure enough, her mic is on. 

Shit. 

"Uhh, art. I said art."

"Okay," laughs Kim. "I deserved that. But seriously, Chay, what art am I stealing?" 

Chay eyes Kim's image on the security footage. Even on the grainy screen she looks better than everything else in the room.

"It's that sculpture 45 degrees to your right."

"This hideous thing?"

"Well, it's worth 2.4 million USD."

Chay can hear the scowl in Kim's next words, "Why do rich people have such bad taste?"

"P'Kim, aren't you rich too?"

Kim's laugh sets Chay's ears on fire. "Okay, to be fair, most of my life consists of choices made in bad taste. And the rest… well there's more than one way to bad, isn't there, Chay?"

"Can you two please stop flirting on the channel? I don't want to hear this."

"Je!" Chay nearly screams into her mic, but she manages to rein it down to an outraged whisper at the last minute. "As if this is as bad as the time we walked in on you and Kinn having sex on the couch?"

"It's not my fault you barged in," whines Porsche.

"It was in the living room? In a shared space?? In the middle of the afternoon???" Chay feels nauseous just thinking about it. She hasn't so much as looked at that couch, never mind sit in it, since The Incident.

Chay can see Kim nodding on the screen, as if she's contemplating one of the paintings on the wall. "She's right, Porsche. One of these days I'm going to burn that couch."

That of course spurs Kinn to open her big mouth. "We'll just have sex on the new couch."

"Oh, fuck you," says Kim.

"Yes, I will," says Porsche.

"I quit. Can I quit? I suddenly don't want to be here. Chay, meet me at the coffee shop around the corner. Kinn, Porsche, the two of you can steal this shitty trinket yourselves. I don't need a cut of the 2.4 million. This isn't worth it." 

Kim's mic feed goes dead and Chay tracks her annoyed power walk through the various camera feeds.

Hell yeah! Chay fist bumps in celebration. A date with Kim is worth way more than 2.4 million.  

---

i hope you think about this kimchay oceans 8 universe so much that you'll write it once idolistic is done okay ilu bye 😇

SOBBING YELLING THROWING UP!!!!! what a beautiful gift to grace my inbox this morning!! i'm so full of emotions ahhhhhhhh

Kim surveys the gallery with a nonchalant air. "So what exactly am I stealing?" 

"My heart," mumbles Chay.

"What?"

"What?" Chay looks at her audio controls, and sure enough, her mic is on. 

THIS BIT!!! THIS BIT STOLE MY HEART it's perfect thank you. love these pda siblings (poor chay, poor kim, porsche and kinn listening to them flirt is what they deserve) and ahhh chay getting a date with her girl!! chay's little fist bump 🥺

now they're gonna have a cute little coffee date with kim (in her incognito casing a joint clothes?) which is like a very gay leather jacket and ripped jeans, big boots. grunge art school student style. while chay just beams at her with big eyes and holds her hand. kim orders her everything on the menu

also repeat this in the future. kim dressed up fancy fancy (cape, we all know which one) abandoning some gala job to hole up in a late night take out joint, ethereally pretty and jewellery sparkling in the dingy decor while chay sits across from her, smiling adoringly. that's her girl!! chay proceeds to order her everything on the menu

The reality of Kinn is at times a grasping, hungry thing even when he is standing still. Or: Porsche and Kinn are the Theerapanyakun agency's best team. They live in each other's pockets and share their deepest secrets. But when Porsche takes on the role of bait in their latest mission, it throws their entire relationship into a spiral.

“Kinn,” Pete clarified, as he regarded Vegas. “You egg him on. You seek out his attention.” “That’s because I hate him,” Vegas said. “And he’s a scourge on my general existence and I want to make him suffer. Simple.” “He’s also very good-looking.” The words dropped like a pin to the ground. “Did you honestly just say that to me right now?” — Vegas is in a dark place. Pete can tell Kinn has something to do with it.

Chay sags into him, half-expecting to float. “I don’t…” Chay mumbles. “What… hmm…” He can’t think. He’s so warm. “Did you…?” “I gave you a little something,” Kim says. His voice is so smooth. Chay wants to swim in it. “To help you relax.” ~ Post-canon, Chay and Kim are back together, but Kim wants to keep Chay all to himself. Forever. He's got some ideas for how to do it.

Someone had tried to strangle Pete. Kinn had a bad feeling about who. He’d known, after all, exactly where he was sending Pete. But, a part of him had refused to believe that Vegas was capable of this. -- Kinn comes up with a plan to get back at Vegas for what he's done to Pete. Or at least, Kinn's dick has a plan.

“You should have come home with me, Porsche,” Vegas says, barely over a whisper. “Just once.” Porsche grips the edge of the table. Fuck this. “You had me on your bike,” he says. “Seems like you could have brought me home if that’s what you wanted.” Vegas grins, and this time it looks less polished. “Do you think either of us would have survived me kidnapping my cousin’s new favorite?” (vegas and porsche are out on a job. they consider lost possibilities.)

He felt dizzy, reckless, his pulse throbbing in his ears. Drunker than he knew he was. “Which one, Kinn? Am I your dog or your whore?” Vegas and Kinn make very, very bad choices.

Everything about sex is performative. There is no such thing as fucking without an agenda, at least in Vegas’s experience. He wouldn’t have survived to adulthood if he was precious about shit like that. Vegas and some of the men he sleeps with in his desperate, rage-filled attempts to be loved or hated--either will work.

“Vegas,” he told him a few minutes after the knots had been tied, “Vegas, I don’t think I like this. Can you untie me?” For a second, when Vegas had looked down at him, Tawan had thought he had seen a flash of anger in his eyes, dark and fathomless. It was gone in a second, and Tawan convinced himself it had never been there in the first place— he was just on edge from trying something new. "Does it hurt?" "No." “Then we don’t have to stop, do we?" (Tawan's trapped in a haunted house of his own making.)

Arm chokes on his own spit. “Um, I’m sorry, sir,” he says, “but Mr. Kinn implicitly told us that we shouldn’t let you watch any of that series anymore. At least not in the family theater.” Tankhun hums thoughtfully. “Do you think Kinn might be more receptive if we put some gay porn on?” he says. “At least Porsche should know what’s going to happen to him if he keeps returning my brother’s longing glances.” or, someone tries to kidnap Tankhun again. Porsche bleeds all over an expensive car. Pol is exasperated. And Arm is perfect, as usual.

platonic macauchay (with mentions of kimchay)

wip wednesday on a friday. let's gooo this is in the same universe as my this wip. progress is being made

As he was walking, he paused at a window that only just gave him a view of the entrance of the house. Chay stayed there, watching like a ghost trapped in the home they died in. He only tore his eyes away when he heard footsteps approaching. 

Macau was walking in his direction. The two were the closest in age and yet they never spoke. Porsche told him he wasn't too bad, but Tankhun insisted that the only thing he was good for at a party was to be a piñata. 

"Can I join you?" Macau asked, already stepping up to the window. He pulled out his phone and opened up a game on it. Chay had seen Vegas nudge Macau's arm earlier and tell him to shut it off.

"What are you playing?" Chay looked over his shoulders and saw a series of black and white tiles on the screen. 

"It's a piano tile game. Basically, you're just trying to get a faster score. I've been trying to beat Pete's score for the past two days, but I'm starting to think it's impossible," Macau explained.

The pair stayed like this for a long time before either one of them spoke again. Chay watched Macau play, and Macau repeatedly failed at trumping Pete's high score. The only sounds between them were the dull taps of Macau's fingers on the screen. 

"So I take it you didn't want this party?" Macau asked after giving up on his game and pocketing his phone. “I’m Macau, by the way.”

"Yeah, no, but they didn't really care about that," Porschay huffed and went back to staring outside the window. “I’m Porschay”

"That sounds rough. If it makes you feel better, I also didn't want to come. No offense but this party sounded lame." 

"The thought was nice, but this isn't even that big of a deal. Going away parties shouldn't be for people who have been in a place for, like, a year and are moving 30 minutes away.”

Macau shrugged, “They must like you here.”

“I guess,” Porschay said, frowning. A feeling of guilt washed over him as he realized how long they had been outside of the party. “Why did you come here if you didn’t want to be here? We don’t even know each other.”

“My brother said if he had to come to this shit, so did I. He didn’t even have to come through. Pete said he wanted to go alone. Things would be so much less tense if he did,” Macau pursed his lips and rolled his eyes. “Vegas said he had to come, otherwise Pete would look single or something like that. I love my brother, but their engagement has made them fucking insufferable.” 

“My brother’s the same exact way! I can’t invite him anywhere without him suggesting that Kinn come along or Kinn inviting himself. It’s like they can’t be two feet apart,” Porschay let the jealousy and resentment he had been pushing down crawl up his throat finally. It was like stinging bile in his mouth, but at least it was finally coming up rather than stewing in his stomach. “It’s so hard being around them sometimes. And then Tankhun invited my fucking ex to this party, so not only do I have to watch my brother be grossly in love with his boyfriend, I have to see my ex and his stupid face.”

“Sorry, but this party suddenly got interesting.” Macau leaned in closer with a smile. “Who is it? I thought the only one not here was Kimhan.”

“Speak of the devil,” Porschay narrowed his eyes at the sleek black car pulling up to the front door. He looked away, but he could perfectly picture Kim coming out of the passenger side door. Chay’s mind put him in a tight white tank top and those black leather pants he constantly dreams of (when Chay saw him wear those in a music video, he didn’t think he would recover). He wonders if he could see his rings from this far. “Do you want to ditch and see my apartment?”

“Things only just started getting good though.” Macau had an amused expression on his face but gave in reluctantly when he noticed Porschay's disappointed look. He sighed and put an arm around Chay’s shoulders. “Lead the way, Porschay.”

dangerous romance: main couple mania ep. 1

so i love how sailom's instroduction is this is a budgeting king, in debt eating stolen rice porridge. he has a very pre-kinn broke ass porsche-chay dynamic with his brother (?) which is very sweet and also means it won't last five minutes.

oh okay so we get this ship sailing with a wall slam and a classic "do you understand my father funds your scholarship you poor piece of trash" and alksdflkfj

i know i am supposed to see sailom as the victim but he is like full on pete-ing this. he never breaks eye contact. he is like daring kanghan to escalate with his entire body and kanghan did not just go full "since you're my class mate i will be generous and forgive you if you get down on your knees" like that is a) spicy as fuck what the hell and b) going to backfire so hard

HE DID NOT JUST BOW 90 DEGREES JUST TO SPIT ON KANGHAN'S SHOES AND WALK AWAY WITH A SMIRK

he is puzzled by both sailom's actions and by what is happening inside his uniform shorts

honestly, kanghan is the villain here but i struggle to take him seriously as the bad guy because perth a) always looks like he is about five seconds away from bursting into tears and b) has bangs that form a literal heart. no matter how nasty kanghan tries to be - and he tries a lot - the inherent bitch baby-ness just shines through.

literal heart bangs what did i say

this entire car shop sequence is just pure gold for so many reasons. 1. kanghan shows up in his business leather pants looking like he walked off the set of enhypen's blessed-cursed music video and he's driving a mercedes. like honestly, with all that talk i was expecting a lamborghini. 2. sailom's boss actually like... needing some evidence instead of just bending over backwards to please a rich client 3. sailom fucking uno reversing that credit card sneak and humiliating kanghan with the smuggest lil good boy smile and THAT is why chimon is the ultimate snake-cat like he has a face made for scheming.

i am really loving sailom because he keeps his head, is really resourceful and will not take any shit. boy does not hesitate to drag this bastard for filth every chance he gets, beating kanghan in his own game without ever stepping down from the high road.

ooh, we are meeting kanghan's family and they are... both not as trash but also as trash as i expected? like i kinda thought more mafia vibes but if laws of attraction - and real life - has taught me anything it is that politicians are garbage.

on the surface his dad seems almost a jolly good fellow but the conversation with this random girl just confirmed there is something so much darker lurking under the surface. as much as it hurts to have a hyper critical parent, having one who has seemingly completely given up on you can be just as bad.

he's basically been called stupid twice in under five minutes. someone save him.

sailom will not be fooled by a shady ass phone call and neither will he leave a friend behind. this boy will not be distracted by tits with a side of toast. he is a man on a mission.

the way i gasped when i saw this court set up and i have so many questions. do the students just have a cardboard gotham in the basement or - based by the fact we see loose boxes and a shopping cart - did kanghan build this just to prove how big his dick is to sailom ???

chimon's acting is honestly a+ and he is carrying this show. the tension! the absolute rage that is bleeding through! the way he doesn't have to go big with gestures and expressions to convey everything sailom is feeling perfectly - and not just that. you know what sailom is feeling AND you can see his brain working.

kanghan, sweetie, you might want to take a moment and reflect on your obsession with getting this boy out of his clothes and making him kneel.

not gonna lie, i kinda saw this move coming because tropes but god was it satisfying :D the reactions of kanghan and sailom's friends are hilarious (10/10 i am evil tea, he totally ships it) and then the camera pans and you can see all these bystanders just standing stock still, filming giving major horror movie vibes and aaaaaaah

side notes:

i love how his best friend is just "auto." like his parents were "we are poor, naming the kid a vehicle will be fine. no need to bring brands into it."

auto's mom is an actual queen

the teachers are so fucking infuriating but also, that is kind of a sad truth? even when it's not like RICH rich people involved. like for too many adults, it is easier to it off as kids being kids and boys being boys over having to deal with the why and the parents and the drama of it all.

i was bullied in school so like this bubble tea waterboarding makes me feel some type of way? like some of the bullying is very oof-spicy-trope but a lot of it is actually cruel and i really wouldn't recommend this show to anyone who gets triggered by stuff like school violence.

Kinnporsche Rewatch Finale Thoughts

Vegas is warning Porsche! He is telling Porsche that shit is going to go down! He likes Porsche!

The flashback is really well done. Namphueng just wanted freedom from the Theereapanyakul mess for herself and her kids. :( With Porsche hiding in the cabinet, do you think that Namphueng and Pat ran drills with Porsche about what to do if Korn and Gun showed up. Do you think they had code words. Do you think Namphueng knew she couldn't get away, not really.

Porsche is distressed by the incest reveal. Kinn is...confused. but he's confused about everything right now. Korn immediately walks back the incest reveal. Kinn is no less confused. Korn says he's the only one who understood Namphueng and immediately call bullshit. I think you're just as possessive of her as Gun is, sir! I don't think you cared about her at all!

Ok, wait, now the subtitles are consistently calling her Nampheung. can we PLEASE get a confirmation on how to spell this woman's name. my poor ADHD brain cannot handle this.

Korn said Nampheung took pills, he absolutely told her the kids were dead and Gun did it. Everything he says is shady as shit.

I have a lot of feelings about the scene where they find out Korn 'died' but the mostly consist of me going BROTHERS!!!! a lot. but also,i know it's been mentioned before, what the FUCK is that look that Kim gives Chan. Kim has to suspect this is all a ruse and that Chan is in on it, right? And Chan IS in on it, right?

Vegas warns Porsche a SECOND time! the storm is coming! Vegas likes Porsche!

The dick measuring contest between Chan and Gun is so good. Also, I fucking missed it the first time because i was looking at the subtitles and not prepared for Chan to follow Vegas in speaking English but yeah, he really does say "The Adults Are Speaking Now" to Vegas. What a murder. god Chan has such swag. very interesting "don't make this a big deal. for me." there. something to think about. Chan taking down like a dozen guards by himself, getting shot like 4 or 6 times, only to take the time to call his boss and then pull himself up to smoke a final cigarette.... King Behavior. what a badass exit. RIP Daddy Chan, you will be missed. (personally, i will choose to live in Delusion Land. Chan did not die. he is in the hospital with Big.)

Porsche understood Vegas's warning and was like "I WILL be saving my man and I WILL be looking hot while doing it!" The spinning hug shootout is fucking Art.

OK y'all, Quick Sidebar to talk about Tankhun! We've been told the entire show that he was kidnapped, couldn't leave the house for years til Porsche arrived, couldn't lead the family and kinn had to take his place, but Look At Him. His home is under attack! His safe space! By people who WILL kill him. and he is FINE. Yes, he's probably locked away deep in the compound with Arm but he is as calm and rational as any of the other characters right now, actively helping! he is not freaking out at all! I don't think he is as troubled as Korn would have us believe, not anymore.

Erika is the best, that is all.

So like, does Chay even know Kim is there are the bar? this is my favorite Kim scene, I think. you go, murder kitten.

In Gun's version of the story, which i generally believe, there are three gunshots after he's dragged outside: Nampheung, Porsche, Chay. Gun really believes for years that all three of them were killed that day. And what kind of Flowers In The Attic shit was Grandpa Theerapanyakul cultivating in that house that both Gun and Korn are so obsessed with Nampheung.

Oh Vegas. "If I die today can you be the one to do it. I love you." and then running the fuck away. no wonder Pete is insane about you.

Atticwife Reveal! Nampheung has not aged a day, the magic of staying out of the sunlight! Nampheung is terrified and even more scared when Porsche calls her mom. That is the face of a woman who is scared out of her mind and trying to figure out a way out of it.

"Dad? You're....alive? and you have Porsche's mom in your attic???" poor kinn.

"Don't you remember? You were the one who shot her husband. And then when we brought her home you molested her!" Uh...... (x) Doubt. i mean not that Gun is above such acts but....i really don't think it played out the way Korn said. I don't trust a thing out of his mouth, he is trying to Jedi Mind Trick everyone. Did you seen Nampheung's eyes in the background when he says that??? Gun may have kissed her, but i don't think it was in a molestation way. Frankly, Gun may be Porsche's Bio Dad! I could be convinced! Nampheung and Gun have sex (consent? eh....i don't know either way. something hinky was going on in that house with the three of them growing up.) she gets knocked up, immediately marries Pat Kittisawat and runs away. (or maybe Pat really is Porsche's dad and Korn and Gun just think that's what happened. Anyway, it'd explain their obsession with Porsche.) Watch Nampheung's face when Gun says he loves her and will protect her. She's scared but not of Gun I don't think.

WHAT DOES GUN MEAN "The Truth that Nampheung is -" ???????? is Nampheung their half-sister? Is she an alien they're keeping hidden from the government?! WHAT IS SHE, GUN? I will get a ouija board!!!!

and Korn's promise to take care of Vegas and Macau?? oh no. He's going to atticson them like he did tankhun to go with his atticwife and he will have a whole empire of atticfamily that he rules with manipulation!!!

Just shoot him, Porsche. Just do it. Kinn will be sad for a few minutes but he already thought his dad was dead until just now so like, he's already started the grieving process. Everyone will be happier. Everyone will be free. do it Porsche. Doooo It. (Narrator: He does not do it)

Just shoot him, Vegas. Just do it. Kinn wouldn't even be that mad at you, probably. He sure looks at his dad like 'You had this coming' for a second there. Everyone will be happier. Everyone will be free. do it Vegas. Doooo It. (Narrator: He does not do it)

Korn knew about VegasPete, he's not shocked at all about Pete's resignation.

Pete "Joke's On You, You Can't Leave Me I Am Homeward Bound-ing Your Ass" Saengtham

Korn really trying to push "Nampheung is my Sister and you're my Nephew" and it just gets funnier when you remember just how much sex KinnPorsrche were having. Anyway, Porsche does NOT want to be head of the minor family. but he does look good in the suit. Anyway, DYING to know what the wider mafia world thinks of the two Theerapanyakul heads Keeping It In The Family.

Kim leaving the bodies of the wannabe kidnappers for Chay to find when he finishes his game is so funny. Cat bringing his owner a mouse he caught behavior.

Nampheung hears the door open and puts on the act, and you can see Chay crack it. When she realizes that that's her baby. Porsche was older, but this was a baby who is now full grown. She struggles to keep it together when Chay hugs her. but man, when Porsche says "we're together again. we're a family again" so looks so upset because At What Cost. now her babies are trapped here, too. As long as Korn is alive....

the aftercredits VegasPete scene is cute, Macau remains a little shit, and I'm happy the three of them are a family now.

Anyway, off to imagine the season 2 we won't get where everyone teams up to kill korn and live their best lives!

[saturnskyline]

the unhinged ted talk is what i am here for! ♥ i think the camaraderie that they have is nicely summed up in ep13 by vegas saying that they "both were blinded by adults", that vegas in this was no different from porsche, they are pawns in someone else's bigger game. they can't trust each other, not like friends or family would, but they both don't trust the main family (korn), and they both don't like that they are being played with. and they both have something the other wants. and honestly, after vegas sees pete, says sorry for the last time (because vegas, i think, is pretty sure he might die, he might not, but he might, so he has to say sorry before he dies), he could just not help porsche the next day and not give a fuck about porsche's uncle or mom. but he does, and even if one could argue that vegas does it in hopes of porsche joining his side, does he really? he doesn't do the usual tactics of trying to convince porsche to join him, he doesn't do any real manipulation, just a 'porsche, be careful, good luck with whatever you choose'.

i could write essays about post-canon them, because, yikes, vegas, if porsche finds out you sent men to kidnap porschay from hum bar? chay? that could have and would have been hurt if kim didn't kill those guys? ufffff. and then vegas seeing porsche with his father's ring, the same ring that bruised his cheek so many times now on kinn's boyfriends hand? and YES yes yes vegas probably learns how amazing it is to not have to compete with kinn and be "the second" (he is first to pete and to macau which all that matters), and just be vegas, instead of 'vegas of the minor family'. but also, i keep thinking about minor family's compound and how vegas walked through it, and you could tell his people respect and love him, he felt so appreciated there, the small bows and 'khun vegas' they gave him. these were people that saw him, that feared him, admired him, people that worked for minor family, were loyal to them, and porsche is taking all of that from vegas. (except in my head he doesn't really, porsche is so over his head, and he needs vegas's help, and korn might have planned to put porsche as minor family's head to end the rivalry (but does he really? he is the one who thinks competition is good? so why end it?), and move vegas off from his chess board, but porsche is a rebel, he picks vegas and asks vegas for help because who else would know things better than vegas. porsche doesn't trust vegas further than he can throw him, he knows how vegas feels about being second in the second family, but porsche also knows that he needs vegas to secure his hold, and he knows that vegas needs to feel useful and needed (another headcanon, when vegas says "i have nothing left", he doesn't discount macau or pete, it just means "i have nothing to give to you, pete, why are you here still when i am useless"), and porsche can give vegas that while vegas figures out his life with pete and how pete does not need anything else from vegas but vegas himself).

and you know, maybe they will never be best of buddies, but i can totally see post-canon vegas who loses everything but gets to have pete, and post-canon porsche who in a way, also lost everything (his dream of opening a bar, keeping chay safe, escaping mafia life at some point) and gets to have kinn, realizing that they are in some ways two sides of the same coin, and hey, if you murder enough people on adrenaline rush missions together, and you race each other on expensive ducatis for fun, you sort of kind of can call them a friend? maybe?

(honestly, i am just weak, i want everyone to be happy, so please vegas manipulate me into believing you can actually care about people other than your new family.) oh, shit, i just realized how long this is, i am gonna send this non-anon way, so you don't need to answer on your blog if it's too much. :D

thanks for indulging my brain worms! x

ahhh yay, so happy to have another ted talk contributor!!! no worries about the lengthiness either; the more words the better i think 😊

no you hit the nail on the head with this!! i think the main reason i'm so obsessed with the vegasporsche dynamic is that trust is something neither of them can really afford. porsche even says as much: "i don't trust you. i can't trust anyone. even the main family, i don't trust any of them." that last part is really the key here, since the thing that goes unspoken is "i can't afford to trust kinn right now". and oh boy, that is a WILD thing to admit to the guy who has spent his entire life in competition with your boyfriend lol

still, that isn't even the part that really gets me. no, the thing that really gets me is exactly what you pointed out: the lack of manipulation on vegas' part. dude had the information to do SO MUCH DAMAGE.. but he didn't. he didn't even gloat over the fact that he's the only one porsche can turn to (one-upping kinn btw!); he just went "well, i wondered what kinn couldn't help you with, and now i know". and then there's "i'm glad that you thought of me" .... well. *adjusts clown wig* i think that that was completely genuine, in the same way that most of the motorcycle scene seems genuine. call me crazy, and i know the fandom talks both sides all the time, but EYE personally think that vegas has a real fondness towards porsche. whether it's due to his sheer honesty and naïveté, or whether it's just "oh he's so easy to exploit uwu", that's up for interpretation. but that's my opinion there :D

there's also the fact that in this conversation (bc clearly i have many thoughts on this scene), vegas doesn't try to talk porsche away from kinn's side; in fact, he essentially does the opposite! porsche asks if he knows anything about his parents, and vegas' response is: "i know nothing. and i don't think kinn knows about it too", followed up with the line about being "blinded by the adults". so basically HE'S GIVING KINN THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. he's talking about the fact that he and porsche are both pawns in this game, but kinn is also brought up directly in that context. "he probably didn't know either, since he's not really in charge." and thinking about this from a typical vegas manipulation point of view, wouldn't it be better to let porsche doubt kinn? wouldn't he be a perfect tool at this point, turning to you while incredibly vulnerable, admitting he can't trust the main family? why didn't vegas take advantage of that?? we don't have clear answers anywhere, but i guess that just adds to the ✨ flavor ✨

"vegas seeing porsche with his father's ring, the same ring that bruised his cheek so many times now on kinn's boyfriend's hand" NOW WHY WOULD YOU SAY THIS 😭😭 *patrick bateman voice* did you know i'm utterly insane?? ahem but anyway. yes. ring symbolism my beloathed 💔 post-canon vegasporsche is the biggest mess ever bc absolutely, vegas is gonna feel some type of way about losing what was rightfully his. and oh, i LOVE that you brought up the scene at the minor family compound! the duration feels like such an intentional choice, since it lasts just long enough to make sure we take note of how powerful vegas is in this space. he is feared and/or loved (machiavelli in the chat?); people see him and immediately pay their respect. and now porsche, unqualified porsche of all people, is in charge of it all. i do like to think that vegas comes to terms with that eventually, and is softened by the love of his family and the search for a new purpose. but i absolutely agree, i think that he isn't out of the game at all, not really, so long as porsche needs his help and korn is alive. pro: he gets to work in his area of expertise! con: he isn't fully removed from the "vegas from the minor family" label that he clearly resents. hmm. many jumbled thoughts on this

glad that you brought up vegas sending his men to kidnap/possibly hurt chay.... i really do forget about that aspect of things 🥲 along with the fact that he drugged him and maybe would have assaulted him given the chance? insert further fandom discourse here, tried to kill him multiple times, and used him to get to kinn way more times than that. so yeah, a complicated history, to say the least. but you know what they say: the best friendships are forged by unresolved conflict and emotional baggage! (okay maybe they don't say that. but i just really want these two to be friends for some reason idk)

oh wowww, i love the idea of them being opposite sides of the same coin! absolutely fascinating stuff there. reminds me of when vegas tells porsche "we're not so different on the same team now, you and i". plus i'm absolutely down for some murder/motorcycle racing!! quality bonding time for sure 🥰🥰

weirdly, even after all this, i feel like there's so much left to say bahaha. i guess that's an invitation (to all) to drop by and share vegasporsche brainrot anytime! i will probably write a whole nonsensical book about it though, so be warned hehe

The fact that all the fluffy scenes we saw in the beginning were of the future and not the past is still blowing my mind, that was so smart! like we thought we watching all the good times before it all came to a end when Jiwoo left but we were really seeing what they going to be when they finally got back together. Insane

Even know they’ve both had like the same amount of episodes or whatever, for some reason it just feels like We’ve gotten less of prapai and sky compared to payu and rain and it also feels more rushed, idk maybe I’m just being dumb and I’m the only one feeling like this plus I mean their not done yet but I just feel like when I was watching payu and rain at this point I feel like it felt better paced, I mean it could also be that their stories are both very very different even down to how it flows and develops which now that I’m writing this out this actually makes a lot of sense and I was being dumb cause sky and prapai are dealing with traumas and obstacles that payu and rain just didn’t have, ok so fuck everything I said before I had my revelation it doesn’t feel rushed and payu and rains was not “better paced” it’s just a completely different story and I shouldn’t even be comparing them

Also did anyone else get mad suspicious vibes from Teacher Sani, she was weird when she walking around the school and when she ran into Teacher Chadok but she was ESPECIALLY weird when she was talking to Wat asking him about Akk and the prefect group and like I feel like she is using the fact that nobody really takes interest in Wats passion of film cause shes the first person he has found that has taken a real interest and she using that to hide the fact that she's looking for some sort of information, I don't know if she suspicious because she working against or for the school but sus acting nonetheless this episode

One thing I would like to put out just because I thought it was curious detail was that Kim cleaned up before he left like Chay was kidnapped but he made sure the house was cleaned cause in the morning we see the couch bed pulled out blankets on it and stuff from them sleeping the coffee table moved if I'm not mistaken but then when Vegas and Porsche go to get Chay it's all nice and neat and I just found that interesting just imagining Kim being all scared for Chay not knowing exactly what's all happening making the call to Kinn and just going back into the house to tidy up before he goes to kill some bitches

My #1 post of 2022

Ok so I decided to do a favorite bl dramas of 2021 even though no ones asked lol, although looking back at everything I watched this year I really didn’t watch that many at least compared to 2020, like I really slacked on my bl watching this year like at one point I was watching 12 or 14 at one time (this included like older completed ones too as well as airing shows) now if I’m watching 5 or 6 I feel overwhelmed which is so frustrating so if I was setting a bl related resolution it would be to get back to that 12-14 territory, anyways I've watched around 20 something dramas give or take some short films and movies but just to focus on the dramas of it all for this list, although I didn’t watch that many this year I still feel like I watched some very good ones and I very very happy with every single show on this list that being said let’s get into it.

**DISCLAIMER** these are not in any specific order like best to least or anything like that cause it would absolutely break my brain and my heart to rank them

**P.S** spoilers for some of the shows I’m gonna talk about if you haven’t got to them yet

#1) WE BEST LOVE: NO. 1 FOR YOU

Ok not much to say about this one just really solid and I really enjoyed it and the fact that it’s only 6 episodes but felt like a full long series is really something, great story, great acting, great chemistry a full chefs kiss

#2) WE BEST LOVE: FIGHTING MR.2ND

Gossip After Death: Chapter 6 Preview

TW: Discovery of a major character's dead body but is this major character permanently dead? Only time will tell.

Porsche is dead.

While he had come to the conclusion that being dead was the most likely scenario, seeing his still and clearly lifeless body lying in the grass offers a completely different form of acceptance, one that Porsche doesn't want to accept at all. At least before, there was hope. Now, there's nothing. The fact he is still immensely attractive despite being so rigid and pale is only a small consolation.

“Shit, Porsche,” Big says with a sigh, coming over to squat next to the body, “I'm sorry. I…We knew you were dead, but…Sorry.”

Chan walks over too and squats on the other side of the body, “I don't see any bullet wounds or strangulation marks.”

“No defensive wounds on the hands even,” Big adds, “Do you think he was drugged and then smothered?”

“I don't know,” Chan says, then looks up at Porsche, “They’ll figure it out though. The coroner here is good and-”

“Chay and Kinn can't deal with this,” Porsche blurts out, “I don't want them to…They can't see me like this-”

Porsche cuts himself off with a ragged gasp and Big jumps to his feet to direct him towards a nearby bench while Chan makes his way over and sits on the other side.

“It's not fair,” Porsche chokes out before letting out a sob, “It…I was just shopping!”

“It's not fair,” Chan says, “You're right. You deserved better. You deserved to have more time.”

Porsche wipes the tears out of his eyes, “You both did too.”

Big reaches over to squeeze his hand before letting out a breath, “Ken?”

Ken perks up hopefully and walks over to his ex-roommate, “What's up?”

“Did you see who put him here?”

“No,” Ken says, “I was just coming out to spend time with the fish and there he was. Killed the peaceful mood, to be honest.”

“You saw no one suspicious?” Chan asks, “No one you don't normally see?”

“No.”

Chan nods before focusing on Porsche, “They’ll be able to check the cameras. Even with the ghosts on site, our impact on technology doesn't seem to affect video feed more than giving it some slight static on occasion, and Arm can usually clear it up. So they’ll find who did this and those people will pay.”

The words only offer as much hope as Porsche can feel in an utterly hopeless state.

“I don't see how anyone got past the guards to get to this point of the grounds,” Ken says, looking around, “You can only get here if you go through the front, which is guarded. There are also guards on the other side of the wall on each corner. One of them would have had to see someone climb over it with him. It's weird.”

It is weird. But Porsche is having a hard time thinking of the hows and whys when he is so utterly focused on the fact his body is going to be found and Kinn and Chay are going to have to deal with that. He doesn't even know how much time they have until everything comes crashing down.

He barely finishes that thought before it’s answered for him. Someone finding his body doesn't take long at all. When Khun comes out in his pajamas and robe with a bag of fish food in hand, he knows things are going to get terrible soon.

“Fuck,” Porsche cries, forcing himself to keep his eyes on Khun. Khun squints as he walks forward before freezing in his tracks, Porsche prepares himself for screaming or over-the-top crying. But that doesn't happen. Instead, Khun takes careful steps in a daze before falling to his knees across the courtyard at Porsche’s body’s side.

“Porsche?” Khun asks hoarsely, gently tapping his cheek. His hand pauses as he lets out a hitched breath before he grabs the body’s stiff wrist and feels for a pulse. He presses down with two fingers in multiple places, then attempts to do the same on his neck. When neither attempt works, Khun presses his ear against Porsche’s chest before reaching into his robe pocket for his phone with trembling hands.

“Arm?” Khun gets out, only to let out a soft cry, “He…Porsche is…I uh…I found him lying by the pond, but he's not…there isn't a pulse and he's not breathing-”

Khun cuts himself off and cries into his hand as Porsche can only presume Arm asks questions.

“I don't know,” Khun chokes out, “I don't know if you should tell Kinn right now or…wait. Just wait. I…I'll tell him. It should come from me. Can you…Can you come out so I can…okay. I’ll see you in a minute.”

Khun hangs up the phone and lets out another sob, “Oh, Porsche.”

Porsche finds himself levitating and floating over to Khun. Even though being next to his body is hard, he deals with it and tries his best to rub Porsche’s shoulder. It causes Khun to startle and look in Porsche's direction.

“I'm right here,” Porsche tells him, “Thank you for taking care of Kinn. He's…He's really going to need you now. Even more than he has needed you the last few days. Promise to take care of him for me, okay?”

Khun continues to stare in Porsche’s general direction tentatively and inquisitively before reaching a hand out and swiping through Porsche’s chest. Porsche glances down before focusing on Khun again.

“You sense me, don't you?”

But before Porsche can try to find anything else, Arm rushes over to Khun’s other side and begins quickly checking vitals. When that proves to be hopeless, Arm grabs Khun and pulls him in for a rough hug. It's only then that Khun cries fully.

Okay follow up to this because I think it would fucking hilarious for Kim or Kinn or anyone else being like “Vegas is dangerous.” And Porchay who only knows Vegas as Pete’s boyfriend, Porsche’s friend, kinda a big bro to him, and Macau’s brother is like ???? Are you talking about hedgehog dad Vegas???? Are you talking about Pete’s boyfriend Vegas??? Are you talking about the man who cooks in his Jam Jams and packs me lunches because a growing boy needs to eat???? Are you talking about that Vegas??? And the person is just like “yes, exactly, he’s crazy.” And Porchay is just like =((( why are you guys being so mean to him? =((( Like of course he knows Vegas does shady shit but so do Porsche and Pete and they’re still good people. (Some poor soul just being like “about that----gunshots, sirens, 3 missing)

But also  Kim coming over to Porchay’s house for the first time and he sees this hedgehog and he’s like “oh??? is this your pet???” because of course he’s stalked Chay’s instagram but he is being Normal, so Normal guys, he is making a Normal conversation. And Chay is just like “No, that’s Pete’s husband’s pet.” And Kim is like ???. And out of the bedroom walks Pete who is like “what is this popstar doing around my impressionable friend’s brother? why am I getting danger tingles?” but also dressed in his jam jams and isn’t going to start shit just yet. And then comes out Vegas!! Also dressed in comfy jam jams and looking kinda normal and soft and honestly it’s freaking Kim out a little...okay a lot. And Vegas and Pete are just like [feral grins disguised as smiles] “Chay, introduce us to your ~friend~.” Chaos ensues.

I also have a headcanon that in this AU Vegas and Pete have a cat. The cat is black, a formally feral stray, who loves Vegas, adores Pete, tolerates Chay and ignores Porsche. Everyone else gets murdered by said cat.

So KinnPorsche Pete as a Boxer AU I will probably never write and so am letting out into the wild. 

So Pete is an illegal boxer who never came to the attention of the main family. He’d probably be just as feral underneath his happy go lucky exterior but I think he might be a little worse at hiding it.

Now picture this: Vegas is taken by his dad to one of the underground fight rings. Maybe to give Vegas the lay of the land, maybe to prove a point, maybe for Vegas to watch the bookies. Whatever the reason, a younger Vegas watches a few of the fights and then it’s Pete’s turn to fight. Gun (being terrible all over) bets against Pete because why bet on the guy everyone seems to be friends with (obviously in Gun’s twisted mind those at the top do not have friends.) And Vegas, being a little shit and for whatever reason, goes against his dad and bets on Pete. The beginning of minor rebellions etc. The head bookie or whatever is pleased with Vegas’s choice and it pays off because Pete beats the ever living shit out of his opponent. At the end of it Pete is called over to introduce himself to the very important men and he’s back into his ~happy~ Pete persona but it’s too late now. Vegas has seen him. He’s gotten a glimpse of what is underneath. Cue Vegas, little punk, making himself a nuisance around Pete and the rink.

I could see all of a sudden Vegas’s private life becoming exceptionally private the more he gets into a relationship with Pete. Like no one know where the hell he disappears to but when he turns back up sometimes he has blood under his nails and bruises on his neck (spoiler, he and Pete kicked the shit out of a guy and then had kinky sex. It was a great time had by all…except for the guy they kicked the shit out of. ) But I also love the idea of Vegas just having this person, this place, out of his father’s sphere.

In this AU, of course, Pete and Porsche are friends having met on the boxing circuit.  Pete would maybe come to live with Porsche and Porchay which means that when Porsche is pretty much kidnapped into being a bodyguard that Porchay isn’t left to the wolves and/or a stray Kim. But also imagine having Pete and Vegas as surrogate big brothers of Porchay? Just picture it for a minute. Also Vegas finding out where Porsche is and Porsche being like “Don’t tell Pete and Porchay” and Vegas having to explain he doesn’t lie to Pete. However, he will freely like to Porchay who is like a kitten.

But this also reinforces and allows for my “let Vegas and Porsche be buddies damn it” agenda. Because Porsche, even knowing that Vegas is shady –and then learning just how fucking shady shady is–is going to be firmly “Vegas Is a Good Big Brother and Therefor He Is My Good Pal.” Which, imagine Porsche and Vegas keeping their relationship on the downlow so that Porsche won’t have an even harder time as a major family bodyguard and Kinn being uber suspicious and jealous. Because Porsche would say something like “oh, I’m not into that” (referring, of course, to Vegas and Pete’s codependency and BDSM) and Kinn is going to take it as “oh, I’m not into men” and sulk for a bit.

But also imagine Kim walking into Porchay’s house only to be confronted by 1. Pete and 2. Pete’s boyfriend who happens to be his fucking cousin Vegas. Like, I just picture a scene where Vegas, Pete, and Kim are fucking lying through their teeth in front of Porchay so as not to give the game away but there is so much underlying tension. And Porchay is just like “Vegas =( Did you lie? =( When you said you liked Wik’s music??? =(((” And it’s like, oh my poor sweet summer child, you have three feral cats in a small enclosed space. It’s not going to end well.

Anyway, if anyone wants this story please feel free to take this plot bunny, give it a good home, and let it run wild

Korn and the art of learning through the mistakes of others.

My brain is going crazy rn and i don't know if it's my lack of sleep or am I having intellectual™ thoughts about the gay mafia show again but I have been thinking about Korn after the finale a lot(as we all have been doing). But especially about Korn and his father and Namphung.

At the day that Porsche's father is killed, Korn's father is accused of murdering Namphung's whole family and then taking her under his wing.

I will not go as to why would Korn's father saved Namphung, but I will go into what he wanted from taking her in and he failed doing and what Korn actually succeeded in doing with Porsche by improving on his father's methods.

The Big Theerapanyakul, let's call him Big T, obviously wanted Namphung loyalty. He raised her after all and took her under his wing. He expected her to come back on his call.

But he hadn't succeeded. He didn't have her loyalty, she left the mafia, she got married to someone and cut all the ties and she didn't want to come back to that world.

Big T wasn't successful.

But Papa Korn?

Student Beats his Master.

And Korn apparently was a very good student.

But why did he succeed in trapping Porsche in this life while Big T failed with Namphung?

It's because Big T murdered Namphung's whole family, she didn't had any stakes when leaving other than her life and that was practically unimportant anyway. She had no chains in the form of loved ones when she was leaving.

Loved ones as a leverage.

And Korn saw that, I think that's why he left Porsche and Chay alive that day, as a leverage. Namphung wouldn't go with them willingly, but if it's her children at stakes? Her loved ones? She can be locked up in that attic for an eternity.

And then all those years later comes Porsche.

We all know how much of everything was planned by Korn but I actually think that even showing Porsche his mother was indeed planned. That he really did had in mind their meeting but not in a caring uncle way.

No, Korn saw Porsche and he saw an opportunity. He already had a leverage over him - his mother, Porsche clearly was skilled and he was a Namphung's son. Which meant that he could get the position as the minor family heir.

But what Korn needed was Porsche's loyalty before doing that. He needed him to walk into this world by himself. That's why I think he also reacted so quickly to Kinn and Porsche being boyfriend's in such a manner. They being in love actually aligned with his plan more then he initially planned. He now, not only had his mother but also his lover and then saying that Chay also should be moving into the compound? This was Korn's chains tightening around Porsche's hands and ankles without us even noticing.

But he still wasn't sure how loyal Porsche was.

That's where the final showdown comes in.

Korn could have lied about Porsche hiring Porsche, he didn't have to really say anything. Kim meddling wouldn't have impact on Porsche and Kinn because he wasn't speaking and sharing with them. He didn't have to do that.

But he did, he did as to specially put him into this position where Porsche had to choose.

And Porsche showing up to the final fight? It was a testament of his loyalty.

To Korn it didn't matter it was his loyalty to Kinn. Loyalty to Kinn means inderct loyalty to Korn because his own son is just a pawn, a tool to use in this game of chess played with lives.

And that's when Korn shows Namphung. When Porsche has proven his loyalty. He shows him his shackles, the ones that were put on him long before and by having Kinn offer him the ring, the new ones he put on.

That's why Namphung was so devastated at the last minutes. All this sacrifice, this life in a fucking attic was for nothing, because there were walking in her sons. One of them with the same shackles thing him to this world she recognized because she wore them herself.

Also side note to VegasPete fans: Vegas also has slight shackles put on. Korn did what his father did when killed Namphung's family. He said he will take care of Vegas and Macau. And then he let Pete go after Vegas. Pete who did say he will always be loyal to the major family (even if it was only formality). They might have an illusion of an escape from this world but one string pulled from Korn and just like Namphung's lovely family life with her husband - it will fall apart at the seams.

Because Korn saw what his father did. And he improved it.

[yeetlegay]

The gremlin is back with new notes, I hope you don't mind. I'll put a read-more mark in case someone wants to skip them.

Santa Maria we're like 1 minute in and it's already going places

Pete didn't strike me as a tattoo person but it makes sense

I mean I know my man is getting slapped and all but that shirt is fire

"Who's a good boy?" sounded equally terrifying and awfully cute (9 minutes in and I'm already bananas)

TANKHUN YES HELLO OMG YOUR OUTFIT IS LIT LIKE ALWAYS

Tankhun has the best reactions, kicking Kinn with legs included

Porsche is the definition of "this all could've been done without a gun and yes, this all could've been an email"

JESUS that wrench is huge

what if the car accident was caused by Time? In one of the first episode Time mentioned Tay's dad covered up his car accident like nothing ever happened because it was his area. Just a thought.

omg Porchay and his Snoopy hoodie so cute I'll die

as someone who has terrible relationship with my siblings, I'd die for their bromance. Porsche and Porchay might get on some people's nerves in the fandom, but like... They literally only have each other. Of course they'd be super gentle and overprotective.

God that blow-dryer is loud

omg these two babies. Tay and Time are serving looks

OH MY GOD SHE IS SO PRETTY SHE IS INDEED SERVING LOOKS

Love how Tay is manspreading while Time is trying to occupy as little space as possible

Vegas is really reading Childhood's End, a story about literal aliens invading Earth while he has Pete locked up???

No, he isn't. Idk whether I should say God bless or not

I wish Vegas' father a happy burn in hell

Tankhun is such a fashion icon and no I will never stop saying it

I want Tankhun to be kindergarten teacher to my kids so he can teach them basic life rules such as be relaxed and kill everyone who is suspicious immediately and all that while looking so damn fabulous

Sir, uh, that is, um, really creative excuse to kiss someone...

Pete is so good at asking the right questions at the right time

"Have you ever loved me?" no, that's why he Superman-ed those kidnappers and proceeded to enter the warehouse guns blazing... (I getchu tho, Chay...)

Vegas, it's not as bad as before because prior to this you got free Pete therapy session

"If you hate me, you'll have energy to kill me later." or as I call it, positive thinking

Turbulence... noted.

Nope, I don't think my car accident theory was correct. Rest in peace theory, you did your best.

I started to respond to this bullet by bullet but half the bullets were just variations of “AKDHDJNSJSKAJSH SO TRUE” so here is a shortened version lol

THE WHO’S A GOOD BOY LINE REWROTE MY FUCKING DNA ISTG if I ever decide to proceed with my villain era I will be taking Vegas as my manipulate manslaughter malewhore inspo

“This could’ve been an email” LESTAT I WHEEZED

That wrench scared me more than the electric chair (taint edition) from ep 10, like for why is it so ENORMOUS

I live for sibling bonds too ugh. Oldest of 5 here so Porsche’s older sibling struggles resonate deeply. (Also that one post about how Kinn is a middle son but an eldest daughter…math was found dead from the accuracy)

The second I saw the Childhood’s End cover I had to pause and Google lol I’m obsessed with analyzing characters’ reading choices (the Kardashian Konfidential book led to a headcanon that Kinn started watching KUWTK with Tankhun just to feel something and now he’s lowkey a celebrity gossip encyclopedia)

Tankhun kindergarten teacher…WHO’S GONNA WRITE HIM STARTING A MAFIA DAYCARE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF THEERAPANYAKUL TOTS

No bc my first thought when Vegas did the pill kiss was “holy shit he’s ballin I could’ve been having my gf give me Tylenol kisses this whole time???” Like absolute legend behavior imo

Kinn walking like that had me thinking Something Else and I was like “surely…surely they wouldn’t have…..not-not on a-a helicopter” so glad we got confirmation of a sky bj to bring my brain back online (sort of)

Double Dog Dare

KinnPorsche Week Day 6: “Why are you naked?” + fun

This is basically crack. Featuring Pete, Macau, Porchay and Porsche.

Also on AO3.

Pete lit a cigarette and walked the perimeter of the garden. He felt out of place among the main family bodyguards now, uncomfortable. He could feel their judgement with every look they threw his way. He didn’t really care—he was still close with Arm and Pol, and Porsche, of course, who was the only reason he’d agreed to come here for a meeting. The others meant nothing to him, but that didn’t mean he wanted to hang out with them either. He faked a smile at two new hires standing next the Khun Nu’s carp pond and continued on, pretending to admire a flowering bush. 

“Psst.”

He looked around for the source of the sound. 

“Pssst.” 

And then jumped when something tugged on his pant leg. 

He looked down to find Macau squatted in the bushes, naked as the day he was born. 

“Why are you naked?” Pete paused and shook his head. “Never mind, I don’t want to know.” 

“Wait,” Macau whisper-shouted. “P’Pete, you have to help me.” Macau shuffled closer, still in a squat with his arms wrapped around his knees. “I lost a bet. I ran through the gardens but now there are so many people and I have no way to get back to my clothes.” He pouted up at Pete, eyes wide and extra pathetic. 

Pete sighed audibly. “Didn’t plan ahead for that?” 

Macau shook his head. 

“Who are you making streaking bets with, anyway?” He didn’t think anyone at the compound would dare to bully Macau, even now with Gun dead and Vegas stripped of any real power within the family, but he felt he should probably check. 

Macau snickered. “Well, Chay and I were playing this game… Anyway, it’s not as important as my clothes. They’re by the pool. Please?” 

He was making that pathetic face again so Pete rolled his eyes and tossed his cigarette onto the ground. He smushed it with the toe of his boot. “You owe me big time,” he threatened. Macau smiled widely at him—clearly he was terrified. There was a time when Pete’s mere presence was a thing to fear. Love had obviously made him soft. 

Pete searched the circumference of the pool but didn’t find any clothes. Heaving a sigh, he went back to tell Macau the bad news. 

“Clothes can’t just disappear,” Macau whined.

Pete shrugged at him. 

“P’Pete.”

“Fine.” Pete pulled off his button-down, glad he was wearing two layers. He tossed it to Macau who wrapped it around his waist. 

“There are still so many people down here.”

Pete should really make him walk shamefully past all the bodyguards, but somehow Macau’s puppy dog eyes were still turned up to ten and working their magic on him. Macau didn’t look much like Vegas, besides the eyes. “I know another way upstairs,” he said. 

Macau smiled brightly. “You’re the best.”

Pete shielded Macau’s half-naked form and took him a roundabout way through the back garden and into a side door to the stairs. As they walked close together he thought he caught a whiff of alcohol on Macau’s breath. Because of course the little shit was drunk. 

He helped Macau sneak into a room where they found Porchay lounging next to a half-drunk bottle of what looked to be Kinn’s expensive—and very likely stolen—whiskey.

“What took you so long?” Chay asked.

“Man, it was all clear when I went out only for like twenty bodyguards to file into the gardens.”

“Oh no, someone must have thought they heard something out there and reported it.” The expression on Chay’s face was pure shit-disturber. 

Macau advanced on him. “You fucking—” 

Chay laughed so hard he literally fell onto his side and started thumping his hand on the rug. 

He really is Porsche’s brother. And here Pete had thought Porchay was such a sweet, polite kid. Not at all an absolute menace like his older brother. 

“It’s your turn next, asshole,” Macau said without bite. “Let’s see how you fare.” 

Pete really did not want to find out how Chay was going to fare. Or be involved in whatever nonsense they had planned next. 

“Okay, I’m off,” he said. “You two…” He was going to tell them to be good or stay safe, but that felt like a waste of breath. He waved at them instead. He heard them both cackling as he shut the door.

After all that he was late meeting Porsche, but Pete figured it was Porsche’s chaotic parenting that had made Chay into Chay, so it was at least fifty percent his own fault anyway. 

“So, you know that your brother and Macau are drunk and performing a series of escalating dares all over the compound, right? The most recent of which ended up with a naked Macau hiding in the bushes by the carp pond.”

Porsche scrubbed a hand over his face. “Not again. Those fucking two.” 

Pete snorted a laugh. “Also, if Kinn is missing his whiskey, those fucking two totally stole it.” 

Porsche let out a loud laugh, shaking his head. “What a waste of good whiskey.” He shook his head again and tapped a cigarette out of its pack. He played with it between his fingers for a moment before looking at Pete with a smile. “I won’t tell if you don’t.” 

Pete smiled back. “I’m not saying shit.” 

There was a loud bang and someone ran by the open door singing an old English rock song at the top of their lungs. They were too quick for Pete to make out which one it was, but the culprit had looked to be clothed at least. 

“Those fucking two,” Porsche said again. 

Pete laughed. He was really glad Macau made a friend.
