OUTSIDER POV: ARTHIT EDITION

I love imagining SOTUS from the perspective of Arthit’s classmates who watched him go from shy kid

to head hazer

to doting, petulant kitten

within four years.

And that's not even getting into what he becomes after he graduates.

Like, my favorite narrative argument to make is that Arthit is actually the protagonist of SOTUS because he's the one who has the most to learn, it's always his issues that cause the conflict, and he's the one who changes the most throughout the course of the story.

His character arc is Shy Boy to Smitten Fiancé and I love that for me.

I love my son. :')

I have a little experiment to run about SOTUS so for those who have watched SOTUS (please do not vote by vibes off what other people say about Arthit).

No nuance!

(But feel free to add context in the tags!)

please reblog for sample size, thank you!

I basically binge watched the SOTUS series for the first time today and coincidentally Thailand passed the marriage equality laws at the same time! Such timing when watching the first GMMTV BL made and one of Thailands first BLs.

I actually really liked it more than I thought I would. I loved Kongbpob's flirting lines!! It always came out of nowhere and I basically had the same expression as P'Arthit (which was bewildered blushing haha) every time. I liked how their relationship developed and how even the confident Kongpob was scared of being honest when confronted about his feelings. It felt realistic and raw - less polished than the BL's we see these days so more freedom to explore as it was a pioneer of sort. The setting was also so nostalgic as I was also in university in 2016 so it brought back so many memories.

I wanted to write in defense about what Kongpob says to M when he asked regarding if he liked boys. He replied that he didn't like boys but he liked P'Arthit because it was P'Arthit. Now I haven't watched SOTUS S or the Our Skyy episodes so I am not sure about Kongpob's attraction/relationship history but it seemed like to me he said that as it was his first actual attraction to someone/guy.

So if that was the first time he liked someone/guy and if he is demisexual/demiromantic then that might make so much sense for him to say that. This is coming from someone who basically said the same thing when I liked someone for the first time (basically around the same time as kongpob) - who just happened to be a girl. I genuinely didn't understand it back then as I had never experienced physical/romantic attraction to anyone regardless of gender before this. I think when you first experience that kind of attraction quite strongly you think that it is only applicable in regards to that person. But my dumbass realised a few years after that, if you liked her then you can/do like girls (it was such a whole different awakening).

But I get where he was coming from. There was a point in time where she asked me and our other friend (who was also a girl) if we would ever like each other if our genders were different. At that time I had already realised that I was in love with her and after thinking about what she said I realised that I would've loved her the same if she was a guy too. This was what cemented the notion that I liked her and not that I liked girls in general at that time (as I couldn't imagining liking anyone else even if their gender had changed). So that was a blast from the past when I saw Kongpob mentioned that to say the least.

I do however like that we have of moved past that kind of declarations as the norm for someone experiencing first time attraction to the same sex. Maybe it will be nice to still have that kind of thinking when it is appropriate for that character as it is so raw but then have that character go through similar realisations that I did to understand otherwise. Basically make the characters a bit more flawed, inexperienced not fully knowledgeable in all aspects of the LGBTQ+ world so that the audience can go on that journey of realisation through the character too. I know I would've benefited from it back then for sure.

Poorest Little Meow Meow Round 2: Boston (Only Friends) vs Arthit (SOTUS)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Boston: Basically a manwhore with emotional baggage

Arthit: none submitted

[porschethemermaid]

Okay just watched Sotus for the 17th time and I can proudly state that I am still not over it.

ALSO I JUST REALISED THAT SOTUS IS THE SERIES THAT LAID DOWN THE EPISODE 11 CURSE IN BL-

I will never not love how Arthit just listed out all of his insecurities and weaknesses while confessing to Kong. Also not him saying he doesn't know Kongpob well enough but listed out quite literally almost his entire life while talking to Namtan 😭

In conclusion I love the grandparents of BL series. These series were really something.

Singto Prachaya Ruangroj (2023)

[braceletofteeth]

let's just all ignore the entire ocean in the background

[kageyamaana]

Post

It was just a simple post.

Just a photo of Arthit's hand holding his dear pink milk and of someone else's hand holding a chocolate and strawberry filled crepe.

He hadn't thought much about it when he posted it, not even that his friends didn't know yet that he was dating someone.

At least not until his cuddling time with his boyfriend was interrupted by his friends invading his dorm.

.

.

.

"It is a cute photo" Kongpob hums as he looks at the post Arthit made

"I know, it was Nam who taught me how to take the best pictures" Arthit mumbles into Kongpob's neck

"I still don't like you mentioning her" Kongpob sulks and Arthit looks amused at his younger boyfriend

"Stop being jealous, Pob" Arthit kisses his neck softly "She was just a past crush while you are my boyfriend who I love" he adds while hiding his blushing face since he was still shy about saying that he loves Kongpob even if they have already been together for almost a month(and pinning for each other since the first day they met when Arthit helped Kongpob choose to go to the engineering faculty)

Before Kongpob could say those words back to Arthit or kiss him, the door of Arthit's dorm is suddenly open.

"Arthit Rojnapat!" Tutah shouts as he enters before he freezes when he sees Arthit and Kongpob cuddling.

"Why did you stop in the middle of the way?! I almost fell to the ground" Bright whined

"N'Kongpob?" Tutah says in shock and the other three finally look to the bed

"Hello, Phis" Kongpob says amused as Arthit hides his face on his neck even more because of being embarrassed of his friends finding him cuddling their junior

"I'm pretty sure you two hated each other" is the only thing Prem says while still in shock

"P'Art doesn't hate me, he was just annoyed by my actions" Kongpob says grinning before Arthit punches him in the shoulder

"I told you not to call me that, only Kawii and P'Watee are allowed to do it" Arthit says glaring at Kongpob who nods while still smiling which didn't surprise Arthit one bit

"I feel like I lost like 20 chapters of this story" Knott mumbles as he sits in the ground while trying to still understand what he was seeing

"Oh, how is P'Watee? As he told you if he, P'Maetee and the others are or not in a romantic relationship?" Bright as as he hears the mention of Arthit's older brother

"Nope and I don't really care as long as he doesn't end up hurt" Arthit answers and Bright pouts since he really wanted to know what was going on between their brothers and their roommates

"Forget your brother!" Tutah says hitting Bright in the head "I want an explanation about the post and what we just saw!" he adds as he glares at the couple that were still cuddling

"Technically we are still seeing it since they are still cuddling" Prem comments but only ends getting a glare from Tutah

"I think the explanation is obvious, P'Tutah" Kongpob says "Me and P'Arthit are dating" he adds and kisses Arthit's head who blushes and glares at him

"Since when?" Knott asked "And why did we just find out now?"

"Almost a month" Arthit sighs "And I asked Pob to wait before we inform anyone since I wanted to enjoy our relationship without our friends asking us about everything about it"

"Oh...." Bright says because he and Tutah were a lot like that whenever one of the others admitted to have a crush or started a relationship

"It's okay, phis" Kongpob as he and Arthit sat in the bed, still cuddling, and made a gesture for the seniors to seat on the bed

"I'm sure that now you want to know how we got together" Arthit says and his friends smile at that because it meant that Arthit wasn't mad at them so they took a seat in the bed to hear the story

It was all because of a post that Tutah, Bright, Prem and Knott become the first ones to know about Arthit and Kongpob's relationship and got front seats to the reaction of their university when the couple finally revealed that they were dating.

THERE ARE SIX KONGART KISSES

And what always gets me about them is that Arthit initiated half of them. 1) Their first kiss, 2) the last kiss in SOTUS S, and 3) the last kiss in Our Skyy. Kongphob only initiated two: 1) the beach kiss and 2) the lamppost kiss that shattered hearts and ruined lives. The roof kiss was technically mutual.

Right after I first devoured watched SOTUS, I saw all these people criticizing Arthit’s character for various reasons. All of them objectively wrong, of course, because he’s a paragon of perfection who’s never done anything wrong in his entire life. But the wildest takes were people convinced that Arthit doesn’t love Kongphob as much as Kongphob loves him.

Like. Arthit kissed Kongphob first. He was freaking himself out about whether or not they could have children before they started dating. He told his entire friend group and everyone else at that party that they were dating. He gave Kongphob more permanent, symbolic matching bracelets to replace the string that absolutely would have broken. He finished his thesis early so he could spend Valentine’s Day with Kongphob. (And he gave him roses that Kongphob kept for years afterward!!!) He cycled Kongphob around campus. He gave him a piggyback ride when Kongphob twisted his ankle. He held Kongphob’s pinky in the elevator of his workplace despite his very understandable concerns about being openly queer at work because Kongphob was sick and he was worried. He told his entire company they were dating after they were outed. He cried THREE TIMES (THAT WE SAW) because Kongphob was going to be out of arm’s reach for two years and might catch a cold in China. He was waiting at the airport when Kongphob came home to him.

Arthit is down so bad, but I genuinely think people miss it because Kongphob is so much more overt by comparison.

But like. In the novel, Arthit soldered their gears together HIMSELF. This bitch is just as extra and feverishly in love, and he deserves more acclaim for being as feral as his fiancé.

Justice for Oon!!!

Hello, watching SOTUS for the first time. Quick question

...Does Arthit think Charles Manson is a musician?
