#brat tamer mut

[bllemons]

Can I rant about Mahasamut for a minute?

Can we all agree that Mut is THE DEFINITION of a soft dom/ brat tamer?! He knows what he wants and is fully aware of the power dynamic between him and Rak, but he plays oblivious or plays along to Rak's antics. Since the first episode, he was on the HUNT for Rak but let Rak lead until he was riled up enough to flip on that switch. When he dives, he dives DEEP. Not to mention that he definitely loves giving and at times feels like a submissive top. He lets Rak have his fun and explore at his own pace, and when he gets that green light, he just flips. He knows how far to push Rak and when to pull back and step out of his dominant role into a softer one. He always has control of the situation, even when Rak seems to be the one with the power. He's also not afraid to let himself be seen enjoying Rak's brattiness and even egging him on at times

He lets his dominance show in a way that isn't overbearing and leaves space for exploration. One thing I love love is that he isn't a stone top!! He let's Rak have his way and definitely enjoys being taken care of (whether he's in full control like the end of ep 6 or he's letting Rak lead like ep 2 & 3). He just loves to take care of his partner and holds that space very well of a solid, attentive, and sensible lover. +++ he uses affirmations to help Rak find security in him

Overall, he is so caring, seems good at aftercare, and really just caters to Rak's need for a mental blanket that's warm and all-encompassing. Mut is the dom that any sub would want (my self included) and Rak is just able to seek comfort and explore safely with someone who understands the way he operates. They just have such a good dynamic yk. Him being bigger than Rak (thicc boi) only adds to his character

My Favorite Expressions in Love Sea Ep. 3

I wasn't gonna write about the expressions this week but then I got all my Fort-induced crazy out and had a meal and came to my senses, so I decided to write about them this week and every week.

Won't always be in depth like the last one but I do wanna point them out because as @prapaiwife said, Fort and Peat's acting deserves to be appreciated.

This scene is shadowy as all hell but there's just enough light to appreciate the faces that Mut is pulling in this scene. There's a mixture of annoyance and frustration here. He's narrowing his eyes, he's pursing his lips and setting his jaw a little bit. But it also looks like he's trying not to smile and there's a sparkle in his eyes that tells me he's enjoying seeing Tongrak get pissy.

That's the face of a brat tamer if I've ever seen one.

I also loved seeing how Tongrak got all smiley and fondly amused when Mut said he was beautifully handsome.

But then there's this smile after he tells Mut about his family. It's sad and resigned and doesn't reach his eyes. It's different from the last one, and Mut can see that, which is why he tells Tongrak not to smile like that. We're not done talking about this man and smiling but hold that thought, we'll come back to it here in a sec.

This look and the quickness with which Tongrak says no when Mut asks him if he wants to try love break my heart. There's more resignation there and something else, too. Certainty of heartbreak or maybe just plain old fear.

I, too, am struck dumb when I see Fort's smiling face Tongrak's just like me fr.

It's the shift from soft, open vulnerability to sheer annoyance for me. It's a face that says, "this infuriating man is so fucking annoying, I have to fucking kiss him about it fuck him" and I love it. This kiss also made me think of @chicademartinica and her love of tropical eroticism.

We can't see Mut's eyes here but that same sentiment applies to this face, too.

I love the look Tongrak gets when people say nice things about Mut. He may not realize it--or admit it if he did--but he's so fond of Mut already.

I have nothing insightful to say about these expressions, I just wanna make ya'll appreciate the mole Fort has on that giant fucking arm of his and how normal I've been about it this whole time.

Also more stretch marks. But we're getting off track.

Look at the face Mut makes when he realizes Tongrak's gonna be leaving in a couple of days. He looks crushed. You can tell that up until now, he hasn't really thought about Tongrak eventually going back home.

And Tongrak hasn't thought about it either. You can see him mentally going through his calendar. Neither of them have thought about it, but they both know exactly when he's going to leave and neither of them look happy about it.

Mut says "could you not leave?" without thinking and Tongrak is very obviously surprised but that's all it is. Surprise without anything negative attached to it. And maybe a teeny bit of hope?

He tries to play it off as a joke but Tongrak doesn't let him. He just says "try asking me". Something about his tone and the way he's looking at Mut and stroking his hair and his face really made me feel the difference in their ages. Tongrak looks and sounds so patient and gentle.

I love how often Tongrak's face answers before he does. He was always going to say yes but I like that he told Mut to try asking and teases him a little bit to get him there. Sometimes we have to be brave and find the words and ask for what we want so it'll be given to us. That's how good communication works.

I don't know about anyone else, but I could practically hear Tongrak thinking, "I'm sorry you had to grow up so fast and alone."

Seeing Mut be giddy and shy for the first time since we met him and seeing unabashed joy on Tongrak's face for the first time since we met him are two of my favorite things about this episode.

Making Mut ask Tongrak to stay wasn't about ego or being a brat, it was about a man who doesn't believe in love wanting to hear that his presence was wanted and a man who isn't used to receiving things without offering something in exchange being told that he doesn't have to change who he is in order to be given what he wants and that he's loved appreciated exactly the way he is.
