#and topmew idk maybe!!! i hope so! but things can always get worse lol

[forcebookish]

you know, before it started airing, i thought only friends was going to end with no couples or maybe one, and the friendship with mew, ray, and boston being repaired/the true "endgame," but now it's like...

were mew and boston ever actually friends? i'm sure we'll get more flashbacks, but so far they've barely interacted; boston clearly resents him and seems to have for at least two years (definitely before top was interested in mew). meanwhile, mew and ray love each other (in different ways) but there's been a strain on their friendship, also for at least two years that now has gotten worse, because of ray's continued pining.

seems more like they were woven very delicately and the introduction of top pulled at an already loose thread that unraveled the whole thing - but it would have fallen apart regardless.

personally, i think if mewray got together it would kind of defeat the purpose of the sleep kiss. plus, i've been in these years-long unrequited love situations... from both sides, and i have a hard time seeing it end any other way but ugly. it's still a drama though, so who knows.

and boston? i would have... an impossible time forgiving him. literally impossible, i would (and will) never forgive him. even if it hadn't been assault and coercion. not only does he cross a line, but he seems to do it because he has Issues with mew specifically. if someone not only fucked my partner but went out of his way to do it to hurt me, i would cut him out of my life with no parole.

could i forgive top on the other hand? under these circumstances, definitely. but i think i'd need some time to deal with his not trusting me, but knowing why he didn't would help me get over it. (as long as he didn't give me an sti......... which i'm hoping won't be a thing. p'jojo's last drama apparently had a lot of emphasis on safe sex so i'm a little worried about that.)

nickboston and sandray both get into physical fights, which should be a deal-breaker for me irl but in a drama? meh. idk if the writers are examining partner violence/abuse in addition to consent though.

in my limited experience, i'm ok at predicting episode by episode or a few big twists (who enchante is, who got tian pregnant, the eclipse curse), but like the others i still don't know how this all is going to play out. a lot can happen in eight episodes.

anyway. just some thinky-thoughts that ran away from me.
