OUR SKY 2 - BAD BUDDY

[airenyah]

QL Wrapped 2023

i was tagged by @nongnaos and @ranchthoughts thank youuu <333

i meant to upload this at the latest by december 31st, but the thing is when i saw the tag i was a little overwhelmed at first bc i didn't know how to fill it out and then once i had it all written out i had a super hard time deciding on what to gif and then it all ended up taking soooo much longer than planned. and now it's already 2024. oops. well, better late then never...

so without further ado:

You watched 12 QLs this year that's about 264 hours!

(i'm counting only qls that started airing 2023 bc i didn't keep track of every single show that i watched and it's a lot easier to count all the 2023 dramas on mdl lmao)

You primarily only watched QLs from Thailand

i blame my bachelor thesis for this which i was writing on the translation strategies of thai to eng and also the fact that i'm learning thai, so any time i watch a series i'm like "do i watch something from a country other than thailand tonight??" only for a little voice in my head to go "yeah but you COULD be spending your evening practicing thai listening skills" so yeah...

You spent way too much time thinking about these characters: Pat Napat Jindapat

listen. LISTEN. i know ok, i know bad buddy is from 2021 not from 2023. however!!!!! bad buddy was part of our skyy 2 and that included my boy pat and so i'm counting it!!!! i'm always thinking about pat napat jindapat ok bye

no for real tho. i am NOT kidding when i say i have spent hours on end thinking about pat in the year of our lord 2023, two full years after the show dropped:

maybe in 2024 i'll finally sit down and write that meta that's been in my head for two years now

Your favorite show was Moonlight Chicken

it's gotta be the chicken show for me. yeah. it just felt so... idk, real in a way. idk how to explain it. i'm not even obsessing over mlc all that much but any time it pops into my head i go all kinds of 😭😭😭 and 🥰🥰🥰

not to mention the firstmix

the heartliming

and most importantly earth and fourth as an uncle/nephew duo??

i am so🥺🥺🥺

special shoutout also to jimbo the cat (left) who looks almost exactly like coco, my family's cat (right):

Another one of your favorites was Last Twilight

just. the way p'aof shows relationships on screen okay. yeah.

i cry

You are still stuck in this hallway:

yeah i've been thinking about the yank-kiss-yeet scene from hidden agenda and joke breaking down afterwards in that very hallway for 19 weeks straight gay. bye.

The soundtracks you listened to the most were:

(according to my spotify wrapped top 5)

Just Friend? (Bad Buddy)

Our Song (Bad Buddy)

น้ำลาย (My School President Cover)

Secret (Bad Buddy)

yeah. i've given up on the "only 2023 media" thing. if we're talking songs only from series released in 2023 then i've got love love love (our skyy 2) on no. 32 and no more empty nights (our skyy 2) on no. 46 on my spotify wrapped

also if you're wondering what the 5th song (on no.3 in reality) from my top 5 was that's missing above where i only mentioned four songs, well, it's none other than tilly birds' same page? which yeah. is also bad buddy related. surprise surprise 🤭

Your overall bl mood was P'Aof

You created 15 gifsets (of which "only" 1/3 were about making other shows about bad buddy)

you can find them here

You shazammed 295 royalty free background music pieces/songs from thai dramas

fun fact: i haven't mentioned this publically yet but since thai dramas keep using the same music over and over again in various series i've actually started collecting the different songs/pieces and i'm planning on making a side blog about it. i just want to go through some more dramas first before i publish anything. so this is something you can look forward to in 2024 dkjfkfdj

currently shazamming my way through bad buddy (you may have seen my blorbo breakdown about pran in the ep4 sleepover scene the other week that was triggered by me shazamming all of ep4). next on the list: theory of love and the eclipse. it takes ages tho, so don't expect it any time soon

Your favorite acting pair was JoongDunk

(is anyone even surprised by this lol)

no but for real whatever these two have going on, i'm intrigued:

i just. i love their energy ok. they're fun. and they're clearly having fun

i couldn't decide on what to gif so here's a little compilation bc fuck it, this is my post and i get to do whatever the fuck i want

(actually there's more that i could have put in there but i didn't wanna waste any more time with posting this tag game and also i was trying to keep the compilation somewhat short lmao)

they are such silly little idiot boys ("little" says the 155cm tall short person about the 180+cm giants 🤭) and i adore them &lt;3

their energy is essentially this meme and i'm so here for it:

and they just communicate so well when they're performing and you never feel like either of them is "alone" on stage (doing his own thing in his own little bubble), it's SUCH a joy to watch!!!! once again plugging two of my all time fave performances that i've been rewatching over and over again for the last 3 months:

also dunk is just SO little brother-shaped to me idek!! looking at his face just makes me go into big sister mode. it doesn't help that he's only like a month or so older than my actual little brother. AND he reminds me a lot of one of my fave kids from my youth group that i used to go to for years. dunk natachai has klein-andi energy and you all don't know what that means but i know what that means as does my mom and she agrees. so.

tagging:

i feel so ashamed for not making it in time before 2023 ended so i'm not gonna tag anyone but if you see this and you really wanna do it bc you haven't done it yet then please do so and tag me because i say so!!

and mutuals, send me yours bc i'm not sure i saw everyone else's!!!! (@celestial-sapphicss @moonkhao @visualtaehyun @telomeke @waitmyturtles @dribs-and-drabbles did you guys do this already and if yes, send me yours? i must have missed it 🥺🥺🥺)

Can you write petekao being domestic fluffy clingy boyfriends because I want them to be happy and that suicide fic hurt! Thank you!

Here you go…

Ficlet: Planting Tangerines 

Our Skyy ficlet, PeteKao.

In their little green garden, there’s a little green tree now.

xXx

They move in together. 

The house is a sweet little affair, all glass and white walls, airy and sunny, and with a little green garden, too. It’s a really nice place. Just their neighbors, well, they’re a bit… odd: they keep throwing shoes at Pete and Kao. Hm. 

Anyway.

In their little green garden, there’s now a new tree, a sweet tangerine. They only bought it recently, along their mad dash to lift a curse that never was. Ha! It was a rather stupid idea, Kao has to admit that, but it allowed him to spend time with Pete, holding hands - and they got this little green thing out of it, too.

Crouching down in front of it, Kao rocks back and forth, from his tiptoes to his heels, chin propped up on his crossed arms. “Maybe we’ve gotten you through a lie but I promise to take good care of you so that you can grow strong and proud and give us the best and sweetest tangerines,” he tells the tree whose fresh green leaves rustle in the breeze.

“Don’t tell me you’re now talking to that thing,” a mock annoyed voice complains behind him.

Smiling, Kao reaches out and pets the tree. “Don’t listen to him, he’s a grouch.”

“I’m not,” Pete protests as he passes Kao to stand before him on the other side of the sapling. “I’m a perfectly reasonable human being - and you’re talking to a tree! It’s a plant. It doesn’t have ears. It doesn’t have a mind of its own. It’s a thing!”

“Wait till it’s all tall and bearing fruit, then it’s going to pummel you with it. The revenge will be sweet!” Kao retorts, and giving the tree one last pat, he gets up.

“Well then, if I’m struck dumb twenty years from now, I’ll know who to blame,” Pete grumbles.

Smiling again, Kao walks around the tree to wrap his arms around Pete’s waist. Pete oi-s softly but then, after a moment, he hugs Kao back. 

“So, you think we’ll still be together twenty years from now?” Kao asks softly, tilting his head to the side a little, leaning it against Pete’s. 

“Of course!” Pete answers, a little offended by the idea that the might not. “Well, unless you turn into a plant yourself in the meantime, seeing as you’re already starting to chat with them. Who knows, one day I might find you planting roots here.”

But Kao doesn’t take the bait this time, he doesn’t bicker back. Instead, he sighs contently. “I would plant roots anywhere with you…” he whispers.

“Now you’re just getting mushy,” Pete pretends to complain.

“You love it,” Kao mumbles and he knows he’s right because Pete keeps petting his back with long, smooth strokes. 

Pete just mutters something and Kao laughs, closing his eyes. Then he starts rocking them gently from side to side, as if swaying to some unheard melody.

“It’s hot here,” Pete objects after a while.

“Bear it,” Kao replies, not letting go.

“The sun is too bright!” Pete whines.

“That’s why we’ve planted the tangerine,” Kao points out. “Wait some odd years and you will have your shade.”

Kao expects another complaint but Pete surprises him by saying, “Alright.”

Kao smiles.

And so they stand there and sway, holding each other, and the little green tree in their little green garden is happy.
