I HAVE ICE TEA, TIME FOR EPISODE 2 im so scared

iMMEDIATE winnysatang. i love them but i genuinely dont understand why it couldnt be seanmaitee.

im gonna rewatch simm after this and write an essay about why seanmaitee should be together, just in case theres anyone who doesnt believe me

i have so many mixed emotions rn

i love them both so much

and there's no hatred towards them at all because theyre just the actors, not the ones in charge

and i do love winnysatang and i love the chemistry they have with each other

and theyre both so pretty

and bc theyre the same actors they make me think of soundwin and soundwin make me infinitely happy

but theyre not soundwin, theyre sean and nay

and sean is desperately in love with maithee, he has been for the entire series

and, as far as we know, in canon, sean and nay have literally never interacted so why are they suddenly sticking to each others sides??? why isnt sean sticking to maitee's side?? he's always at maitee's side, always has his arm around him, always looking at him. why did his character suddenly have to change once msp came out, just for winnysatang fanservice??

is this neurodivergent backpack-holding i see here?

"i told you to wear warm clothes" "well i wanted you to hug me more" NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, THATS SO STINKING CUTE

bro theyre so in love

theyre so in love

how are they so in love

i love them

wait a sec (lmao win/nay in that screenshot looks great)

dont tell me naysean are gonna share a tent

that doesnt make sense even without considering the ships

sean and maitee are clearly the bestest of friends

even if you were to argue that the constant arms around each other is entirely platonic, it feels a lot like a close-friends-been-close-forever-dont-want-to-let-go-and-lose-you kinda thing, so wouldnt you expect them to share a tent?????

idk man

sean captaincy reigns supreme

dang it

GOSH DARNNIT PART OF ME KINDA LIKES THE NAYSEAN

going from two people who barely know each other because of a mutual friend and then they meet for the first time and theres like immediate attraction and yadda yadda storyline

i still think i prefer seanmaithee tho

hmm

perhaps nayseanmaitee

then everyone's happy

how is he so pretty

and gender

gimme the gender pls

i want it

seriously, the GENDER ON THIS MAN

THE WAY HE DOES THE GENDER

...okay im starting to believe the naysean storyline

but i still want seanmaitheeeeeee

nayseanmaitee is still a strong contender tho

sean, honey, you're not subtle

"i love him even more, every day" kluen, i love you so much. he's so whipped. hes so in love. it makes me the happy

I CANT EXPLAIN IT, BUT KLUEN'S OBNOXIOUS (not in a bad way) AND UNAPOLOGETIC LOVE FOR NUEA IS SO FREAKING SWEET AND WONDERFUL AND INCREDIBLE AND I LOVE HIM SO SO SO SO SO MUCH

"or i might have been with someone new already" "then id be happy for you that you found good love" "that means you must be happy for me now" "why?" "because i found my very good love already" GI3U4EJRBGJKREBDGKHRE

LITLE KISSE

BROOOOOOO

"what are you talking about" nuea, it was pretty clear. i think he just proposed to you. or like some kind of statement like 'we're absolutely getting married, that's happening'

i think theyve had a conversation about this in the past. idk if it happened in canon (i dont think it did?????) but it feels like theyve had The Marriage Conversation before

same

LITLE KISSE

lift and walk back into their room lmao

captain is disappointed in his crew

"nuea, ive been rooting for you since high school" nay was the one tending at the docks or whatever and then the ship started sailing and the only one on the boat was sean and he was like 'ah shoot i better figure out how to make a ship not sink now'

i think im getting lost in the metaphor

what im tryna say is even tho nay's been there since high school, sean is still the captain

"should we jsut go to their room?" "let's go" GUYS WAIT NO-

THIS IS MAKING ME HAPPIER THAN I CAN POSSIBLY EXPRESS

MY BOYS

BL- BOYS LOVE: A LOOK BACK

Series: STAR & SKY: STAR IN MY MIND (2022, THAILAND)

Episode 5 is when this story picked up as Kluen (ARCHEN AYDIN aka JOONG) finally opens up about his feelings for Daonuea (NATACHAI BOONPRASERT aka DUNK)

Well technically he opened up a bit early but Daonuea was slow on the uptake. Remember as Daonuea drew a picture of Kluen's mother and Kluen tried to kiss him.

The longing glances.

When Kluen fully opens up it's because he's jealous of another one of Daonuea's many admirers, Typhoon.

So Kluen gets bold and goes after the man he's been in love with since high school in the bathroom of a club.

What do you do when the man you've desired for so long finally desires you? And shows it.

You cop a few good feels. Get that kiss you've wanted for so long. Then shut him down until Episode 6. 😉

Clips of a Duet:

Dunk Natachai Boonprasert & Joong Archen Aydin singing (MY STARLIGHT) the English Version plus a little (Fan Service, I'd assume)

Both versions of this song is beautiful, but I like the Thailand Version (with subtitles) a bit better. But again both are pretty damn good.

[ablazenqueen]

Okay but Nuea and Kluen’s dynamic is actually pretty clever. Mutual Pining™ is one of my all-time favourite tropes, don’t get me wrong, but in order for it to work, there has to be a good reason the characters aren’t together despite their mutual crush and often the fallback is that they’re just very oblivious to each other. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it just makes Star In My Mind a refreshing change. Because the mutual pining here - while yes, in part due to confusion and miscommunication - is primarily due to personality and circumstances. And interestingly, the mutual attraction is something they’re both vaguely aware of but refuse to act on.

On the one hand, we have Nuea. He’s the go-getter, the loud and open and straightforward one who always says what’s on his mind. He’s the one who, by his own admission and previous demonstration, would approach and confess to his crush. Even in his dreams, he pictures himself confessing to Kluen first, not the other way around. It’s just in his nature.

But here’s where the circumstances come into play. 1. He’s already confessed and received a non-answer. As far as he’s concerned, he’s been as good as rejected. 2. He thinks that Kluen has a girlfriend and is unavailable. And he’s way too self-respecting and strongwilled to be a secret mistress.

But he isn’t stupid either. He doesn’t need to be for the story to work. He’s fully aware that Kluen was leaning in for a kiss during the drawing lesson, straight up calls him out on it, but the moment - and the knowledge of his attraction potentially being mutual - doesn’t change anything for him. Because Kluen still hasn’t admitted to having feelings and because he’s still, to Nuea’s knowledge, taken. Nuea isn’t stupid but he does have tunnel vision and situational bias (and self-respect).

Then, on the other hand, we have Kluen. He’s harder to get a read on, by nature of being a quieter, less emotive character. But after Nuea’s confession and immediate move to Germany, it’s likely he thinks Nuea moved on and got over him. And to make matters worse, Nuea’s stubborn, slightly prideful, “let’s plow forward” personality leads him to deny ever having known Kluen at all. That adds to the uncertainty. Barrier 3.

The only way Kluen can be sure either way is by asking Nuea. This presents several problems. First, he’s a very reserved person who clearly struggles to convey his emotions and open up to others. There’s also the fact that asking Nuea if he still has a crush on Kluen would mean outing his own crush. Because why would he care to know the answer unless he likes Nuea, right? He thinks Nuea still likes him but then Nuea pretends they don’t know each other. He thinks Nuea might still like him but then he hears Nuea sweet-talking someone on the phone. He thinks Nuea might still like him but then someone comes running to Nuea’s aid and calls him Dao, the nickname that’s reserved for romantic partners. At every turn, there’s something to make him question and hesitate.

I think what makes it such an interesting dynamic is that they’re both in the exact wrong position. If the roles were reversed (ie. if instead Nuea had found out about Kluen’s crush immediately before getting shipped off to another country and surprise reunited a year later), they would’ve gotten together by the end of the first episode (depending on the situation with Gia, that is). And that makes for excellent characterization.

[heretherebedork]

Kluen eyes' are daggers and that death glare is real. He's got Dao in his arms right now and he isn't going to let that be changed.

Episode 4 - Favourite Moments 1/4

[alcairsei]

kluennuea is driving me insane. kluen looks at nuea like he'd do anything for him but he sure isn't gonna clear up the one thing that's keeping nuea from confessing he still likes him. and yet i'm enjoying it?? they're just bonding now.

the pool scene was so sweet! "your personal space, you'd let me in?" "if it's you." okay like they're not treating it as a confession but my god. kluen is clearly so gone for him. and it feels like the kind of thing that maybe nuea can tell kluen likes him, but right now is just enjoying being on the edge of whatever-this-is, teasing and bonding. and maybe he doesn't want to push further just in case.

[quodekash]

this appeals to a very specific audience and im pretty sure that audience's entire population is me but I might as well share it here

(the image has nothing to do with the song, i just thought it was funny)

[elliotsrobot]

Kluen essentially asking Daonuea the definition of brother like mans really said ‘please spell it out for me’

BUT THE HAS THE AUDACITY TO CONTINUE TO NOT CLEAR UP WHO TF GIA IS TO HIM AND LET DAO CONTINUE TO MISUNDERSTAND AND THINK THEYR IN A RELATIONSHIP !!!

like bro no wonder he won’t let you kiss him, no matter how many slow lean ins you try 🙄😒

Everyone, but Sean having a crush on Nuea in that little drink get together, my boy really is popping rn and Kluen stays staying quiet…

Khabkluen (ARCHEN AYDIN aka JOONG) really took care of Daonuea (NATACHAI BOONPRASERT aka DUNK) in Episode 3 even while Daonuea was wasted. Then apparently held him while they slept.
