ONLY FRIENDS | Ep 11

[fanfictionroxs]

Oh yaaassss THIS IS what I've been waiting for! You better give me mad jealous possessive Ray losing his mind over someone even looking at Sand! And this is his ex! Double danger! Aahhhhh

Let Joker!Ray retuuurrnnnn!

[ikarakie]

“how about you guys kiss?” no one move he is doing gods work

[chicademartinica]

"I have a roommate"

Sand sweetie, what else?

FAM ! He can’t say a clear no that man ! Remember when Sand said this :

And we (the audience and Ray) are realizing that naaaaaaaah that weakness that Ray has exploited over and over and over again existed for someone else. (The festivals tour dream being their dream was a nice sting too)

Boeing was written to be a Top alternative and now he is shifting to be a Ray one. Because he is yielding EXACTLY the same power Raymond has on our boy.

[khaopybara]

sand indirectly refers to his relationship with boeing a couple of times this episode. the first time with ray in the bathtub:

then at the music store:

in reference to:

and i don't really have a point to make other than maybe this is why i got the impression that sand still has some sort of unresolved something with boeing. not necessarily feelings for him, but there's this lingering tension whenever he talks or thinks about his ex, and i hope this gets solved in the first part of the LAST episode of this fucking show.

also, whatever first does with his face in this sequence.

Boston+Boeing= Chaos(and a sad Top)

It’s the last night before Only Friends Finale and Jenny is serving up some ol’ fashion brain soup. Come get it chaos lovers I’m going to talk about Boeing for the first time because he is entering the BostonNickverse so… I watched his scenes 3 times and have a working theory on his motivations. But as always let’s use Boston to Compare Contrast.

Both Boeing and Boston are incredibly sexy on their own and they both use that to their advantage because no one expects them to be so cunning they can be. They are used to reading people to become what they need. They are self assured that they will get whatever prey they desire so confidence radiates from both of them. Boeing uses lies of comfort with a friendly smile and willing to listening ear to get his prey where he wants. Boston on the other hand uses honesty bravado to shock his prey into whatever he needs.

Both men schemed to break apart TopMew while the couple wasn’t dating but in a vulnerable position. Both of them exploited Top’s weaknesses not because either one loved Top but to fulfill their own self absorbed reason for Top to Break Things off with Mew. Boston wanted to break things up for his friend because TopMew was messing with their friendship dynamic and on a selfish level Boston wanted to prove he was better than Mew multiplied by his growing feelings for Nick. He NEEDED to prove to top and himself Boston is the best. Boeing wanted to punish Top for breaking up with him after 3 months. I believe he did love Sand at some point. I’m inferring this from Boeings career as a flight attendant that he wanted to travel the world and bring Sand with him. Intertwining your long term goals with someone shows scars and I think you can see them in Sand’s Dream and Boeing’s career. So Boeing made a sacrifice to date Top thinking it would be a better dream someone rich and going places. Boeing won’t have to wait to complete his dream. But Top broke things off with him after 3 months. From a pride stand point Boeing couldn’t let Top get into a more serious relationship because it looks bad on Boeing he couldn’t keep Top when Mew could.

The main difference between Boston and Boeing when it came to attacking TopMew is Boston did want to keep Mew out of his scheming because he loved Mew as a brother. Boeing wasn’t going to let anyone keep him back from ruining Top’s little dream of love because Top stole Boeing from Sand which is in his head all Top’s fault. So seducing Mew meant nothing to Boeing it was just a way to get more cracks in the relationship hopefully breaking them apart forever. In Contrast Boston kept his scheming to Top. He didn’t try to meddle directly with mew because he wanted to maintain their friendship. Boston yells at Nick “NO ONE WAS SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT ME AND TOP.” And he tells Ray he’d be disgusting to expose TopBoston to Mew. Boston didn’t want to hurt Mew. Boston wanted Top to be Jealous of Ray and be seduced by Boston and end things with Mew. Boston did give up after Top accused him of hating Mew or having animosity towards mew. I think that out what Boston was doing into perspective. He was crossing lines he shouldn’t. Boston decides after this to try to calm things down.

I think both failures to break up TopMew put things into perspective for Boston and Boeing. Boeing was reminded of his relationship with Sand and tried to repair it. Boston tried to settle down a bit and stop focusing on his friends. He didn’t need to meddle with them he was just getting in trouble.

Prediction time: I think Boston was the first guy Top slept with after Boeing. Boeing will happen to see Boston at the bar on the day of or day before the phone repair maybe Boeing will say something revealing about Mew or Ray and Boston will fight back for them. Either Bostons phone screen gets smashed during this OR Boeing after getting angry at whatever Boston will say will forward Atom’s expose account to the university and maybe send it around the big social circles so Boston is taken down a notch or two.

Hi I wanted to ask re /post/728657916712861696/putting-on-my-clown-makeup-as-we-speak - any thoughts if Mix will still appear?

hi! no, he won’t appear. and lbr the chance that mix was boeing was rather slim anyway since yk ofts is rather racy and mix doesn’t seem to do racy stuff not that that can’t change but yk. it was still fun to clown tho hdjkskd.

also i think that we have enough potential drama left so we don’t need them to introduce another new character in the last three eps. like boeing is back, and supposedly kissing everyone. ray is possibly going to rehab and he is definitely gonna find out about what sand and his dad talked about bc i’m guessing this is what their fight from the trailer will be about. we also have daddy dan and nick, and atom who might mess with boston or his dad(?) in one way or another bc i don’t think this whole thing is over already. especially since we haven’t gotten the whole atom crying scene from the trailer yet.

so yeah i feel like these last three eps will be wild

God, what are your thoughts on today's episode of Only Friends?? I'm a bit mad at Sand but I know his lack of reaction to Boeing was mostly because he's too nice, but it's IRKING ME to no ends. I think we're already beyond the line and we'll definitely get a SandRay endgame but this is making me nervous 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I know everyone has different opinions on this but I'm actually relieved about the BoeingSand situation because I really feared the absolute worst lmao. First's words about that love scene are still lingering in my head and I don't think we're out of the woods regarding that so no idea what we'll be in for next week. Based on the preview I don't think that threesome is actually gonna happen lmao but we shall see. But considering what I was expecting, I'm okay with the situation for now lol. And like you said this also solidifies the SandRay endgame prognosis, not because of a possible hookup but because I don't see Boeing as a threat anymore after this episode. He's a joke.

This was the first episode where I sympathized with TopMew lol, I liked what Top said about their respective paranoia making them go in circles because that's exactly what I've been saying lol and it's the reason why I was never a fan of their story. It seemed repetitive for the most part but I liked their reconciliation in this episode. I was buying his remorseful speech 100% lol.

I did not follow the logic of Boston and Nick's revenge plan on Atom lmao how do those pictures prove that Boston is innocent? idk. I wonder how the New York situation will play out eventually, also Chueam forgiving Atom for almost ruining Boston's life??,,,, like okay now apologize to Boston please.

that's all I have to say about this episode lol. can't believe it's ending next week 😭

BOEINGSAND BOEINGSAND BOEINGSAND BOEINGSANF BOEINGSAND BOEINGSAND

[fanfictionroxs]

It's amusing how people try to create 'supportive' posts for Sand yet subtly throw jabs at him for not bending over backwards for Ray 24/7. I've seen a special rise in this since ep11. Ray taking episodes upon episodes to sort out his own feelings about Mew while trampling over Sand is hunky dory, but Sand being super uncomfortable with Boeing for half an episode, Boeing who was his boyfriend of years, is Very Very Bad towards Ray. Ray is entitled to Sand's patience and emotional labour yet he owes him not a drop of patience/support/care in return. The same people will justify the literal bruises Ray left on my boy and dismiss his verbal abuse because poor baby has mommy issues.

There's a BIG difference between being empathetic towards Ray and wanting him to heal VS using his issues as a shield for the horrible treatment he bestows upon Sand, a difference MANY watchers are happy to ignore to simplify the situation and dismiss the fact that Ray is abusive towards Sand. The sorrys and the tears and the happy days and the dreamy sex scenes don't erase the unjust accusations, the screams of being a 'whore', the shoves on the road, on the lockers, and the callous treatment. Just goes to show how most don't care much about Sand as an individual beyond being subservient to Ray's whims and fancies.

[tbhimnoteasyonmyself]

Ray was absolutely unhinged for this BUT but... I do love this scene. Especially what you can take away from the kisses.

1. BoeingSand

It's not entirely a kiss, tbh. A kiss implies all parties did something and as anyone can see Sand (asides from slightly moving his lips) is fucking paralysed. Boeing is doing all the work.

Obviously Sand is in shock this entire scene (which is more than fair btw) so that's a thing to consider. But also, he just... Seems to be kinda going along (?) My honest interpretation is that it showcases something that we all know is a huge issue for Sand: stating clear boundaries and saying no. Most of the time Sand just goes along. Here is one such case. I don't think Ray's correct when he affirms Sand still loves Boeing, I think Sand doesn't anymore (though he definitely has some emotional attachment to Boeing, like care and nostalgia). And when you add up to his inability to deny people when they pressure him, it leads to that. But you can even see he does not grab Boeing, barely kissed him, he's just kinda there. Caught in a situation AGAIN.

Boeing on the other hand, is all handsy and you can clearly see him nearly pin Sand in place, almost as if he knows he'll escape (or that he wants to, at the very least). This is clear to me an indication of Boeing's primal need to always be in control of everything. In this case, Sand.

2. SandRay

An actual kiss. Possibly the only actual true kiss.

Comparing to the previous one, we can say with pride and joy that Sand has regained motor function of his arms and hands and is now using them. Ksksksksks No but really. This is an active kiss for Sand. He wants it, he enjoys it, he's in it. Which obviously shows that he wants Ray, that that's who he's after.

Similarly, Ray is all in for this kiss. One important thing are his hands because they are pulling Sand towards him (he's the first out of the 2 of them to use their hands). He's unconsciously directing him. This is a representation of what he wants: for Sand to pick him, for Sand to choose him.

3. BoeingRay

Atrocious. It is a kiss technically but it's very obviously also not one at all. It is a battle for dominance (okay the joke is bad but like, this is one of the rare moments in time where saying "tongues battling for dominance" is actually an accurate and appropriate description of the situation) more than anything else. And the important take here is that Ray's winning.

We see Boeing trying to get the upper hand of this situation by being the person to imply and suggest they also kiss (when it was absolutely unnecessary and wasn't gonna fix shit). But he fails as soon as Ray lays hands on him.

Ray, wether consciously or not, automatically lands both his hands on Boeing's neck. And they don't pull him close like they did Sand. Instead they push his skin harshly, they tighten around his neck and arms and waist and any part of his body that can be grabbed. He's visually simulating killing him, almost. A physicial fight for sure, at the very least. Now, I don't think he actually wanted to kill Boeing but the love he thought Sand had for him was for sure number 1 on his list of things to exterminate. So it can definitely be taken that way, I believe. (Also bro's pissed. If they weren't already in the pool he'd probably have considered pulling Mew's signature move of throwing people into them)

Naturally Boeing tries to keep up. But he cannot. And I honestly think it's because he doesn't have half the boiling rage in his body that Ray does. (can't really comment on who wins on horniness because they're both pretty horny all the damn time, it's quite literally the common trait among all the characters)

We don't actually see how this would've ended if Sand hadn't spoken but we can probably predict: not very well.

Either way, I don't think the outcome would differ much (just be messier maybe): Ray wins. Not for anything else but because symbolically he has to. Because that's what happens in the bigger picture too: Boeing and Ray fight for Sand and Ray wins. And this kiss is nothing but a representation (and foreshadow) of those events.

So yeah... Agree or disagree I think that there's a lot of symbolism and important details to this scene and it's by far one of my favourites and one of the most relevant in the entire show. =)

"Do you still love him? If you don't know, why don’t you kiss him to find out? You might get the answer from that."
