#Mork & Pi

[heretherebedork]

I just have to gush to someone about Phuwin's performance in We Are. Past characters he's played kind of prickly and angsty (and done it really well) and it would've been easy to make this character a bit more like that given all the aggravation Phum is causing him... but he's playing Peem so soft and sweet (other than kicking Phum in the balls that one time ha). I'm loving seeing his acting range and just swooning over this adorable character, like no wonder Phum is having trouble keeping up the bullying and is falling in love instead...

I do love Peem. I am so happy he gets to play prickly but heartfelt and also, very importantly, someone with an entire friend group on his side.

That's what makes Peem such a great character compared to some of his others. Because Peem has friends supporting him and on his side and there for him. He has a bunch of people who care about him and that makes him more fun and more approachable and more able to bounce back from Phum's bullying.

I love Peem because he has his own opinions and his own stances and he gets to be frustrated and annoyed and tell Phum he is and stand by it and push back and make his own space while still caring about Phum.

Most of his other characters were not given that space or that ability and it shows. They were more isolated and thus less able to have those fun moments because they had no one to turn to in order to have them.

... It's what lets me enjoy their relationship. Peem isn't alone, he isn't buying Phum's lies, he's able to be an entire person while also caring! It's so great. So much better than the last time they did enemies to lovers.

never let me go or fish upon the sky

i am just now comprehending this question lol i was about to say it's a wild choice to make but i just realised the common denominator lmaoo

nlmg was my first pondphuwin show and my introduction to pond; i started watching it just to keep up with the community though i believed it was going to be too sad for me. i enjoyed watching it weekly, giffing it, contemplating palmnueng's dynamic and writing about it (thanks to the anon who asked me a question back then which i took days to answer 🤦‍♀️) - i did not, however, enjoy the last episodes as much, especially the finale - i was practically waiting for it to end impatiently. i think a part of why i enjoyed it was participating in the community discussions and stuff and also having an episode or two per week made it easier to digest. once i was binging, though, i became more impatient with the plotholes and conveniences.

futs was A Lot - the humour hit more than it missed or at least i'd like to think it did - the kitty gang are one of the most fun friend group supporting characters (also satang nail polish >>>) and despite the weirdest, most out of left field conflict between them in the last episodes, duean and meen remain a very cute side couple that could beat morkpi in many categories. there was a red lamp going off in my head during the first six episodes but im the type to give the benefit of the doubt so i ignored it until i couldn't anymore. i binged this show in two bites iirc - i stopped at the end of ep.5 and then proceeded the next day - 2 episodes later i was already having a Not good time lol, trying to justify things, hoping it's all intentional, that things will get better and when they kept getting worse? oh, it took a toll on me. i'm so grateful for the humour, aesthetics and supporting cast for getting me through it. because it truly is an enjoyable little show when it stays away from mork (and would i LOVE to stay away from mork - even pond playing him couldn't help, it actually made me associate pond's appearance with mork which was awful ngl)

yeah, anyways, if i have to pick i want to say nlmg, i just realised i even watched the our skyy 2 episodes and they were perfect and highlighted the couple's dynamic beautifully

the truth is if i haven't watched smth in a while i'll probably just think of how easy to the eye i found it and in this case it wasn't the muted greens, browns, blues and purples of nlmg :')

futs drove me up the wall, left me angrier than i thought possible, made me sick of pond's face and left me in disbelief nearly every episode, i watched the finale angry and ready to leave it all behind. which is honestly so impressive?? cause after all the anger i barely remember the feeling but i remember that it was colourful and quirky. maybe it's a me thing but still, it's valuable. when i read fish upon the sky i get hit by so many emotions at once, you'd think it's of the quality of itsay or smth.

basically: nlmg is closer to my heart. futs is closer to my fist. they're both pondphuwin projects i watched/restarted watching under influence (iirc @respectthepetty's for nlmg and @sparklyeyedhimbo and @pondphuwin's for futs), they both have their higher chemistry/lower chemistry couples, their silly and not-so-silly villains, their ups and their downs. i will pick nlmg but futs is a winner too, it's just in a league of its own.

Fics i read & enjoyed in december:

(Last update: 24/12)

the two of us, together by kagako (mork x pi, futs | M)

This, too, is incredibly easy. It falls straight into the disgustingly mushy category of it all, and although Mork wants more than anything to get some sort of reaction out of his boyfriend, just the simple act of touching him like this is also enough.

can't you see? by kagako (mork x pi, futs | G)

In this moment, just like this, with Pi asleep in his bed and drooling on his pillowcase, what other line of thought does Mork need besides ‘I like you, I like you, I like you’?

and then you came along (again, and again) by kagako (mork x pi, futs | T)

5+1: love, care, and adapting

a room full of my safest sounds by kurtstiel (win x team, between us | E)

win reaches a breaking point while taking care of everyone around him. Team steps in to help.

so scarlet, it was by tapiocasoob (seokmin x jeonghan, svt | M)

But Jeonghan watches Seokmin right now and he definitely can’t pretend anymore, that he’s not still in love with him.

all my skeletons out for the taking by kurtstiel (sean x white, not me | T)

Sean goes to find White after Black makes a return into both of their lives.

falling thru the cracks by liknow (seungmin x changbin, skz | E)

Changbin and Seungmin accidentally make a habit of making out at parties, then start going to parties just so they have an excuse to make out, then realize that isn't normal

if we can be more than just friends by athousandbyeol (palm x nuengdiao, nlmg | T)

nueng doesn't know where palm stands in his life. the line between friend and bodyguard blurs when he feels more than just nothing to him.

all of the while by maxmayfield (max x lucas, st | T)

Or, Lucas can’t figure out why he keeps going to the coffee shop with the mean red-haired waitress.

You're My Blue by redpangur (taehyung x jungkook, bts | E)

Gao Shi De has been in America far too long. Zhou Shu Yi decides this is unacceptable, and goes to get him.

Showering together saves water by Kdramafanficfinatic (mark x vee, love mechanics | E)

Mark has tried really hard to resist Vee, but when Vee offers to scrub Marks back how can he say no?

When You're With Me by SourwolfMads (mark x vee, love mechanics | E)

“Mark…” Vee’s voice was soft, breath warm against Mark’s lips. He shivered in response, goosebumps rising on his arms, the little hairs on the back of his neck standing on end. Vee could say Mark’s name in any which way and Mark would fold every time.

[sillsif]

out of all the “i thought he hated me but he actually liked me” bl couples morkpi worked for me best bc pi was so blinded by his non-existent self esteem that he couldn’t accept mork actually liked him even after he got over his crush for nan

[norawitikul]

#PALMNUENG/#PIMORK: do you get déjà vu?

[cornflowershade]

okay you know what it is, I think they EITHER should have made Mork less problematic (my preference lol) or make Pi more problematic (sad thought, i love him) to balance it out. In that case, it doesn’t read like one of them having this upper hand, even while Pi is still disinterested. Alternatively, make Pi seem to actually enjoy the back and fourth more, so that it comes off a bit more like rival banter and a bit less like harassment.

[coffeebookslovegt]

Yo sólo quiero amarte. Quiero amarte sin preocuparme por lo que los demás piensan. El tipo de amor que me permita abrazarte cuando te extrañé. Que pueda besarte cuando este cansado. Y sostener tu mano sin preocuparme del mundo.

[sam-bl-lover]

The answer was as simple as that. Mork was incapable of threatening this friendship the more they spend time together.

The more they spend time together, the more fearful he was of his feelings, knowing well one wrong move would pull Pi several steps back that he took his time taking.

Especially after knowing how hard it was for the latter to trust people. They had a rough start all because he couldn't talk in truths. He still wasn't when he told Pi he was a friend every time looking at those round eyes and soft cheeks.

He couldn't put what they had at risk for something he wasn't sure about. 

And that was the reason precisely why he pushed every thought of leaning closer when they were only inches apart. Because no matter how close he wanted to lean in, he had to step away before things get out of hand.

Sometimes it felt so pointless, as if the possibility of them getting together was a fading light at the end of a tunnel.

Some mornings he woke up thinking all about those 'What If's' he couldn't answer himself. 

Other time there was a sudden urge to shove all his secrets inside a box and lock them away for good because at this point, being friends was way better than loosing Pi in any sort of way.

When he could feel Pi's warmth and wanted nothing but wrap his arms around the latter, forming a shield to hide him away from this cruel world.

Or the way his intrusive thoughs won over his self control on his weak days as his traitrous hands would make their way to fix that one strand of hair falling over Pi's forehead just right to poke him in the eyes.

They way his figures twitched to reach out and wipe the corner of his mouth when he messily ate something.

And these little feeling would erupt every time he saw Pi doing something as trivial as taking food to his table. Or simply sitting side by side studying. Or replying to his text. Talking about his shitty day.

To the point it would travel all through his body like crackling electricity, make his fingertips tingle until he had to remove himself from close proximity of Pi.

Keep his thoughts at bay, in the dark, whenever he felt words flowing inside his brain.

Swallowing bits of the acidic feeling when he would slip up and reveal the truth.

How could he so obvious and Pi be so oblivious.

..

A bit angsty.

A bit of slow burn

We all love these little guilty pleasures.

Please consider reading it.

I really need the motivation.

'Do we really know the truth behind someone's lies? Is it fair to lie to someone you care about because of your own fears?'

"Do we really know how to differentiate between Romantic and Platonic Love? Should we? Could we?"

'Is it alright to want someone who looks so far, out of reach?'

So many question. So many answers....
