#either way i enjoyed Golf's cameos very much!

Lol I love this take. My headcanon for this is that Dee goes to that cafe because it was used as a location in one of his favourite dramas (because he's just like us)!

so anyway love how it's confirmed that WDGD and The Eclipse share a universe and yak and wandee were watching a documentary on akkaye 😊

The Eclipse Ep 5 Stray Thoughts

Some folks might complain about GMMTV reusing locations, but I think it's a lot of fun. I like knowing that a few months ago this cafe was used for Antique Bakery.

Oh good. Akk isn't oblivious, and the photo is being used as instant blackmail. While I am not a fan of coercion, I am glad this picture isn't hanging around immediately in the background of the plot.

It's very fun seeing bits from Safe House while this is airing. First is a trip.

I do really love the way Golf inserted themself into the show. I don't always enjoy directors taking on bit roles in their work, but this is fun.

Interesting that Akk didn't delete the photo right away. I'm sure that won't be a problem at all later.

As someone who has a favorite queer cafe, I totally get Ayan taking Akk here to thank him and be a bit vulnerable.

They may be ostensibly having drinks, but unfortunately they are still a bit dehydrated. These lips are chapped.

First and Khaotung do a good job with the flirting here. I think it helps that we recently saw First be absolutely unhinged with desire in Not Me, so we can appreciate the careful restraint Akk has to show.

I like that privately Akk can smile to himself about interacting with Ayan.

Ah, interesting. This scene where they don't enforce the no-phones rule on a student helping his mom is very pointed. Reminder that rules don't enforce themselves, and that enforcement agents make the call about what and when to enforce.

Ah yes. We're back to performing how much you don't like Ayan. How burdensome he is to you. How much you hate seeing him. How much you hate his face, or the feel of his lips on your cheek. I'm sorry, what? Oh, I got distracted.

Baby boy, are you really looking at that picture in school? You're lucky only Ayan saw.

Khaotung with a knowing smile is my favorite version of Khaotung.

"Don't delete it in front of me," is a line I wasn't expecting to make me ache, but here we are.

The lack of ads worries me, and I like the read others users have that Vice Versa is shoring up this show financially.

So, who stole the notebook? I feel like everyone was accounted for? Was it Kan? Or was it a teacher?

Oh, I really hate Ayan and Akk hitting each other.

Is this our first confirmation that Akk is on scholarship? Because we called that exactly.

Oh lord Kan and this goddamn curse. I bet he took it.

Love Ayan reading 1984 as he protests returning to class. Unsurprised that Thua felt like he could reach him.

Mmmmmm, Thua protecting Kan from homophobic scrutiny. Pain.

Really love when a show and its fans are on the same page. We've literally called out how financially mobile Ayan is compared to Akk, and here they are having a direct confrontation about exactly that.

I know Thailand loves a slapstick moment after a serious one, but I actually like Akk getting soaked by the sprinklers. It underscores his point about the tenuous nature of his socioeconomic position.

Insert me-to-me-kermit meme.

This groundskeeper ruined a Now Kiss Moment. I do not like him.

Mmm, poor Thua. Being bullied at home on exacerbates being bullied at school.

Ah, yes. The slurs are back. Where are my knives?

Mmm, I remember this exact conversation from high school when boys would harrass the visibly queer. I'm gonna take a break.

Hey, so Thua is posting worrisome stuff on socials now. It's time to intervene!

Bruce Wayne?! Don't just accept an obvious phishing attempt and give your name!

I wonder what a show led by the twins AJ and JJ would look like. They always give such sympathetic performances.

Suddenly Aou cameos in the prefect backstory, which also connects Akk to Dika. I wonder how Akk will respond to the truth about why Dika "left."

I wonder why Ayan isn't telling about what happened to Dika.

Don't like the teacher putting hands on the students like that at all.

Now we're planning to immolate queer people. Don't like this either.

I feel so much for the World Remembers Gang. I don't think we've paid them much attention to femmes in high school since Lovesick.

Mmmmm. I really hate that it's Akk taking this step to inflict harm.

Oh boy next week looks intense.
