#faifa p10l

[bl-inded]

At this point, the whole world knows that I love drawing parallels between Yotha and Faifa, because (fight me on this, idc) they are soooo much more similar than either of them would like to admit. And it breaks my heart. (I wish I knew more about Newton to add him to these, but alas)

They are both just hurt kids trying to protect their inner child and so they are scared to let other people in. You might be like "The sunshine with a million friends and the dark horse who can't even say a non-threatening 'Hi'! How could they be similar", but hear me out!

Yotha is very open about not wanting more people in his life. He has the people he has and letting anyone new is a whole chore and then some. So he lets the rumour mill spread scary stories about him. The less people he has to interact with sober, the better. So Gun is an unwelcome surprise for him. He grows to love him because he wants to allow for that to happen, but Gun is an exception.

(ep10)

Fai on the other hand, our resident social butterfly, is a bit of a wildcard. Instead of pushing people away he pulls them in and keeps them at arm's length. He drives the conversation so he doesn't have to be a part of it, which is devastating when you realise it.

He speaks to everyone on the campus. He gets a million birthday gifts from people we as the audience don't even get to see on screen! And he is his brother's keeper (making sure Yotha is okay, not getting into too much trouble, trying to not be emotionally constipated etc.). But, not a single one of them knows Faifa beyond what he lets them know.

(ep14, That is not a well-adjusted answer to "How are you", but I digress)

No one gives him credit for all the emotional labour he pulls, and he doesn't expect them to. He might be the youngest child, but maybe because he was the only one living with his mom (with his younger step-siblings for a while? potentially?) he definitely behaves like the oldest child, bearing the burden of maintaining peace in his family at the expense of his own.

(ep14, "And look at Fai. He's nice to everyone...^")

But I kinda disagree with Newton here. Yotha is definitely the most open about his emotions among the three of them. But Faifa knows how to love. He loves his brothers and his friends, and I believe even his mom (despite everything). He doesn't know how to be loved. And guess what! Neither does Yotha! It's literally why he cannot accept how important Gun is to him. Because people have shown them over and over again that they are not worth staying for (my babies 🥲🥲). So its no wonder they don't trust others easily.

It's a case of 'same hell different demons' for both of them!! It gets soooo obvious when you know what to look for. UGH.

Sibling dynamic, my beloved (Faifa ed.) 😂

Or the ongoing (undeserved) suffering of Faifa 😂😂😂

🥺🥺

Faifa has won my heart

[ennablue]

Faifa be like: right in front of my salad!

A thousand ways to be called single right under your goddamn nose...

Faifa, join Pipo, he totally understands the feeling. Join at least until you too become part of a couple insufferably in love.

[fuck-i-like-too-much-stuff]

And again we have the foreshadowing of how Fai is just casually left out of discussions and events (even when they happen on his important days and celebrations)

[bl-inded]

My favourite thing about the Faifa Yotha fight in episode 13 is how (like everything else about their characters) their upbringing really shines through.

Faifa was the first person to make sure Gun was okay. He was also the first one Gun went to when he felt unsafe. He asked him to take them home because he knew Faifa would respect him. Yotha likes Gun (probably more than he even realises) but his actions have made it more than clear to Gun that he is not Yotha's first concern (that isn't necessarily true, but Yotha has left Gun on multiple occasions despite him asking).

But Faifa always puts others first, almost to a fault. Which is why when Faifa asks, oh so gently, to explain why Gun feels hurt, he actually does.

The line that really stands out to me is when Yotha screams "Gun is... not an object." Because yes! That's exactly the point. And yet Yotha talks to Faifa first, not Gun. He assumes that it's Faifa who made the decision. Because when they were kids they didn't get a say in who stays with mom and who stays with dad. He was mad at Faifa for the same reason he was mad at their mom.

Both Yotha and Faifa are protectors. But Yotha thinks it's an offensive game. He needs to protect from someone- he needs to protect Fai from his mom, protect Gun from Faifa (or his nightmares), himself from love. There is an enemy and he is the sword.

Faifa is a sheild. To him it always has been defensive. He needs to protect Gun and Yotha to keep them safe, to stop them from hurting. He isn't fighting the problem, he is holding their hand and walking through it with them. He takes the time to understand their needs. And the only confrontations are ones someone else starts. (God I love him so much).

So when Fai says this ("you've never taken care of him"), I'm inclined to agree. It's not entirely true, obviously. But it's about what Gun wants, and Gun doesn't need a sword.

Yotha realises he's made a mistake but he doesn't know how to fix it. I really hope he figures it out but it's not just "kiss and make up".

Ugh, I love them😭.

[lovesicktrash]

I can't stop crying cuz I'll never find a Faifa for myself. That's all I want in a guy- chaotic(so I can be chaotic with him), stands with you in your troubles, kind(literally dehydrated cuz he gave away his water bottle to someone else) and intuitive(he senses shit so quick) WAHHHHH

Faifa is giving me life in this episode.

You know about binary numbers, right? Yes, but I don’t know how to convert them. I usually use a calculator. Wa, you’re bringing this up because you’re spreading your binary cult again, right?
