hey, bro! i read u listing elements that could have been better developed in 2gether and started thinking about it. when it comes to conflicts, i'd like to see couples going through different experiences and dealing w/ them. we all know the love triangle trope - honestly this is extremely tiring for me - and i feel like having a third party is not always the best way to face problems and show a relationship development. +

in 2gether for instance, wtf is mil doing? at this point, what's his contribution to the story? i feel like instead of this weird crush on tine, he could be living his life and facing different obstacles. anything really. maybe explore why he hates sarawat and how he deals being close to wat's bro, idk. when it comes to sarawatine, we know that tine is insecure, so why not explore it in a more subjective way, getting to know the roots of this insecurity? +

i see how having a third party can bring this subject to light, but will the problem be solved after the other person disappears? there are many things that might make tine insecure and it would honestly be amazing to see him facing different situations and slowly overcome his insecurity issues. that would involve conflict, drama, fights, etc. and would be kinda refreshing to see (instead of jealousy then "oh ok that person is not going to tear us apart so everything is fine now"). +

i also agree that it would feel amazing to see them saying the words bi and gay, but i guess i am happy with the fact that we don't have to be constantly listening to ppl say "wife/husband" as if they weren't two men. i am happy the show explores friendship, tho i also think we could see more about their family relationships. if we are going to watch the characters' development, why not get to know more about them as individuals (someone's brother and son and friend), right? +

and holy shit, the way women are treated needs to seriously change! gmm loves to portray women as crazy beings about guys (yea TOL this also applies to u), which is disrespectful to say the least. the fact it's a mlm doesn't mean it's ok to pretend women don't need personalities or a more well-written role. i hope this will change in the future. and that we'll also get wlw from these great companies. i ended up talking to much. i hope i made sense. as always, thx for your insight! -- emo sis

hi hi! ah i absolutely agree with all of your points, like one of my biggest pet peeves is the need for a third party to jumpstart growth in a relationship. this isn’t all too prevalent in 2gether, but mil’s character just really pisses me off? not he himself, but the way he’s been written. like you said, he could have had his own storyline and progressed in his relationship with phukong wonderfully. there comes a point for every antagonist where you can’t redeem them anymore, and mil is hurtling towards that point of no return. and i really don’t want him to! he was a good source of conflict initially but his character feels flat now. like why does he hate sarawat? is there any ulterior motive or reason to his crush on tine? how does he feel about phukong being sarawat’s brother? why did he get a bit choked up telling phukong that he likes him... like a brother? his character could have been super multifaceted and three-dimensional and a good example of someone who makes mistakes (ie hitting on tine even when he has a boyfriend and doesn’t want to be hit on) but apologises for them (we could have had a great apology scene in ep 10!). but he just keeps pushing! and it makes me so sad because we could have had a TOL style storyline between mil and phukong where mil redeems himself and proves to phukong he’s worthy of his love, y’know? because right now i’m kind of like :/ about their relationship. phukong deserves better. 

god, yeah! tine’s insecurities hit so hard on my rewatch of ep 10. i see so much of myself in him--he’s in his first proper relationship and he’s scared he’s gonna mess everything up and all of these objectively minor things keep happening and he’s so frightened that sarawat will feel it isn’t worth it that he sneaks out to right the lil spirit house thing. how many times did he apologise this episode? too many. i feel the scene where he asks if sarawat really thinks they’ll be together in 10 years exposed how much tine truly feels that he’s not enough and not worth it. he tries to keep up the chic chic demeanor and while he’s soft with sarawat and shows him all parts of him, he’s scared that sarawat... won’t want him anymore. tine and the mortifying ordeal of being known... it hits so close to home and god i wish they would explore that in a way that doesn’t have to do with other people! i hope this will be touched on a bit more next episode with pam’s entrance but how much of that is gonna hang off pam? that’s the real question.

yeah i’m happy that they don’t use the wife/husband thing too much. the bar is underground, but... well, you know. and yes! the friendships are done so so well in 2gether and i really do wish we could get to see more of tine and his friends. familial relationships would be such a wonderful added bonus to this show, especially considering that tine and sarawat’s brothers are also part of side romance storylines. tine and type are amazing and i adore their relationship. as an older sibling, i see so much of myself in type, like we’ve known our younger siblings all our lives, know all their insecurities and exactly how they could be hurt, and that’s why we protect them with all our lives, y’know? i would love to see more of sarawat and phukong and wat as an older brother! i think wat being the older brother is something really interesting? and i wish they would explore more of his relationship to phukong and being his p’.

i could go on about the treatment of women in 2gether and gmmtv in general. honestly there are very few times they’ve done women right (he’s coming to me was a good one!) and i wish they wouldn’t portray women as part of fanclubs and as fetishisers. i would love to see more earn and pear, obviously, as tine and sarawat’s friends and people they’re close to! it would make sense to see more of them, especially considering the fact that earn had that wack catfishing subplot with man. i’d have loved to seen an actual apology from him for that one as well. and air! air could have been featured heavily in ep 10 and i’m slightly bitter they didn’t actually, i mean she’s a huge part of the music club and it was a music club trip. i really hope that they do pam right and establish her as a character and not a plot device, if they do that right, then i’ll be satisfied. and yeah, i would love a wlw series from gmmtv. there are so many brilliant actresses who would take on those roles and execute them wonderfully! hopefully they listen to our prayers and see how many people would actually watch a wlw series and deliver soon. 

thank you for these asks, my friend! they really made me think and i always love to provide insight on all things 2gether and lgbt thai series stuff in general :’)

Crowley’s Word remains curiously unaltered by his Fall, retaining its full strength and potency. He’s the only one to know the truth about the extent of its power.

Inveniam viam

Note: my first fanfic of Touken. sorry for the bad english and misuse of words. i write from touka’s perspective, first person view. thank u for reading. 

Sometimes I wondered if life was just a hallucination made of dream dust, occurring in an alternate inner timeline of my own universe. I dived down, coursing myself through all the patches and stitches of possible moiras; my story, my choice, and my characters blend in together in a nonchalant way, seamlessly, tonally, as if nonexistent.

But here I was, pouring each cup of coffee with a sense of dread that they could just barged in and caught us all off-guard, as I drip all the powerless potion into the grainy floor.

The CCG. They could come in any moment, and I was too aware of this that I felt like diving myself much further into the intoxicating train of thoughts of a poor high school girl- trapped between reality and her most feeble desire.

As visitors came and go, so did my conscience. As I got older and learn more about the world, as invigorating as the experience could be at times, but when it’s a Monday, the start of a hectic morning, I wonder if I could went through the same ordeal over and over again.

Two guys chimed in, ringing the door bell above the heavy wooden door, taking a seat near the centre of the room. I stood across them, over the kitchen-counter that visitors could freely roam across it if they were interested in the process of making their favorite sip of coffees. A young man who sat beneath the counter looked at me. I wanted to tell him off, but Yoshimura would not let me off the hook if I did it again, like yesterday.

The two guys seated on the centre exchanging conversation so playfully and freely that they bring me Yoriko to mind, the only classmate I had that coincidentally the only friend I have within the entire school. I hate to admit the fact that I almost rendered to a lethargic of social intercourse, but it was not always easy to start a brand new relationship with strangers. With Yoriko, our first meeting was coincidental, and if it were to be filmed, you would not really believe how fate could seem like making itself too clear that it triggered your soul because of the cliché it embarked on.

“So who’s da chick you want me to see, Kaneki?” The blondie guy who almost always had a smirk at the edge of his lip whispered to the black hair guy named Kaneki, who looked like an innocent high school boy my age.

“C-can’t you be louder than this? The entire people here could almost hear you!!” He whined, biting his lips with a panicked and embarrassed looked on his face.

“Well, whatever. Oh-“ The blond guy stopped as soon as I arrived on their table.

“Wow, Kaneki! What a shot! Is this the girl you’re aiming for?” He grabbed me by shoulder, bouncing it like it was his first gained trophy, exuberant and cheerful, while keep on knocking on my patient.

“What’s your name, Miss?” He suddenly turned to me again, just inches away from my face that I could feel his warmth and breath.

I became mortified at the intimate distance and his collective awareness of his excavating persona that I gasped and tried to fence off an answer, just to make myself more calm, if possible.

“Kirishima Touka.”

“Ah, Touka-chan the name! You’re cute! Kaneki does know his way, after all!” He widened his smirk, and he chuckled when Kaneki’s face was red from the ridiculous situation he must be in.

“Hide, stop it! Well, s-she’s cute, but not the one I’m talking about!”

I already ran off from their table, trying to camouflage myself with the metallic wall behind the kitchen counter, hoping they wouldn’t have to involve me in more languish interaction that took me off blushes and further embarrassment.

A defined body, like hourglass, of a glass-wearing girl, with her purple hair shied away from the stream of air conditioner, entered the coffee shop, carrying a book on her right hand.

Kaneki gasped, swallowed off his saliva, jaw-dropped.

Hide shook his head in a grim mood. “Oh no. No, Kaneki. Not her.”

Kaneki didn’t answer, his gleaming intensified as he followed her way through the seat in which she headed.

I sighed. Not her.

***

That was our first meeting. Me, and my… husband.

Sometimes I wish that we were not living for just everyone. This was my one sided wish. I once believed that I could live for myself and for whom I cherished, just for me and them. I really wanted to feed on this belief that I inherited from my uncle, Yomo. I remembered how compulsive and complicated I felt when Yomo revealed it to me, the fact he had always been my maternal uncle, trying to protect ourselves while distancing himself from us by pretending to be an outsider that we care about, because we’ve been through a lot, and mostly, facing it together. Ayato as usual, as jerky as he had ever been, gave him a menacing stare, trying to sustain the suppressed feeling he had contained for centuries, but he looked at me and gave a melancholy smile, without doubt, without being pretentious. He wouldn’t look at Yomo, but he let himself opened the tip of the mask he’s wearing, the fragile part of his rockabout façade to me.

I felt that by having a brother like Ayato, I also have learned bit by bit, the compelling layers of his personality, Kaneki.

I felt that with him, I had to be in the middle of anything. Not too dictating, but also not letting him decide everything on his own. Because he still had that bitter memories carved petulantly on his mind, without his will, affecting the way his thought progress, almost always self-inflicting.

I wanted to protect him. But in the middle of this red abyss, my mind withered away with the luscious amount of streaming red liquid down the dark tunnel in front of me.

What could’ve lie in there?

What if… Kaneki became them? What if he was back to the dark again? What if he followed my father’s footstep? He lied to himself. Or he became a new Yomo. He trying to protect his loved ones while ignoring his own needs of acknowledgement, affection that he never fully realized until late. And what if he became a complete version of Ayato? The one who showed his bitter stance against mostly everyone, and probably more, to his loved ones, as his means of protecting them at all cost.

BLOB…BLOB…BLOB…

I gasped. The sound was coming behind me. A big wave, again, in red, appeared before me crashing unto me.

“ARRRGHHHHHH!”

My screams then reduced to a mute, as I drowned into the wave, all red, and I started to be blinded and retorted from all the unity of colors no matter how they differed from each other.

I let myself carried away by the stream of waves, when eventually it stopped. I found myself castaway on again a red path. I stood up.

“Kaneki!”

I keep on calling him.

“Tell me, Kaneki! Where are you?”

All the pain started to ditch in like needles. I grasped my belly, trying to converge the pain inwards, like nothing had happened.

“Kaneki!”

I dived into the endless dark tunnel, nothing seemed to change much, just blood and red flesh scattered everywhere, vanishing into the dark when my vision started to decrease.

I stopped right before what seem like a giant tangling of spiderwebs, and inside of it seemed like a bulk of dark stature.

“K-Kaneki!” I etched, trying to give a sense of confirmation from that shade lying on the spiderwebs.

No answer.

I tried to walk closer to the spiderwebs.

I tried to tear off all the webs that was crowded and latched into a spiraling conclusion. It was sticky, hot and clammy. I bashed away the thought of weird things, like it was a noodle or something, and quickly finished tearing it off and grab the dark stature.

“Kaneki!” I cried.

I hugged him. He was wet and warm. I clung to him and burying my face deep beneath his shoulder.

I soaked. “I-I thought I’m gonna lose you, you idiot!” Even at times as sparse like this, I couldn’t stop my habit of cursing him.

I studied his face. He was sleeping like baby. I could feel his belly churned up and down.

He’s alive. My husband is alive.

I couldn’t contain all the feelings and hugged him again. And this time, even tighter.
