Monthly likes/dislikes

❣️ Naughty Babe - I'm loving this so much lol it's so silly but the comedy is so brilliant and so far I'm enjoying it more than Cutie Pie lol. The story is interesting and MaxNat's acting has improved a lot since CP which is nice. Definitely an unexpected nice little gem and also a band-aid for the soul after the OF-trauma every Saturday dskjhf

Segunda Eliminatória

Bem-vindos à segunda eliminatória da Bangkok Racing, amantes de corrida! Nessa fase inicial, cada equipe irá competir consigo mesma para classificar os 5 melhores pilotos à próxima etapa. Hoje o dia está ainda mais quente que ontem, com os termômetros batendo 35 graus e só vai ficar ainda mais quente a disputa das equipes Tiger Racing e Red Racing! Para começar, às 17:00, vamos assistir a tão temida e lendária Tiger Racing, com os pilotos Top, Pang, Rain, Kyo, Night, Bear, Mek, Park, Bomb e Peat. Top sempre está no topo e segue sendo o favorito para esta temporada também, seguido de Pang e Rain. Mas nunca se sabe, não é mesmo? Tudo pode mudar. O Mek foi contratado recentemente e vem melhorando sua posição a cada corrida, quem sabe ele não roube um lugar para si na próxima fase! Logo depois, às 19:00, a Red Racing entra em campo e ouvi dizer que eles vieram realmente preparados para dar seu melhor. Representando a equipe, temos Phupha, Mangkorn, Prapai, Mint, Winner, Kim, Nuea, Ploy, Hope e Jeff. A Red já vem de tradições de vitórias e dessa vez têm grandes nomes na pista. Já sabemos que o Phupha e Mangkorn são papa prêmios e Prapai e Mint, mesmo entrando na equipe depois, vêm seguindo os passos de seus phi. Fiquei curioso para saber quem tem mais chance de conseguir o quinto lugar ou será que nossos favoritos perderão a vaga de ir para a próxima fase? Quem irá passar para a próxima fase? Estou ansioso para saber. Semana que vem teremos a próxima fase das eliminatórias. No s��bado, às 18h, a BYX enfrentará a X-Hunter para saber quem serão os cinco pilotos que passarão para a fase final. Já no domingo, no mesmo horário, a favorita Tiger Racing enfrentará a Red Racing, que vem com tudo em busca da vitória.

OOC NOTES: Como continuação das eliminatórias de ontem, sintam-se livres para comentar sobre o que estão achando dos pilotos (e sobre a índole deles também, sabemos que alguns sempre dão aquele jeitinho). Esperamos que se divirtam!

I'm still thinking about the way Kim turned the water on in the bathroom to cover up his crying after he broke up with Mek because he knew he had to hide his pain from everyone, because anyone knowing how much he'd just sacrificed would be his downfall because there are too many people who cared about him and cared about Mek and wanted them both to be happy.

I wonder how Kim will explain to his friends, how they'll respond to him claiming he never liked Mek. And how will they handle their boyfriends' pain at Mek's pain, how will they look at Kim again and not see this moment?

I know Kim intended to send Mek off to a better future but what else has he sacrificed in this moment, what else has he lost in trying to help the man he loves live the dream he's had for so long?

I know we have a timeskip and two more episodes but that also means we're unlikely to see the direct aftermath in the friend groups and that's very sad to me because that alone could easily have filled two episodes.

Black Hat invites you to a lovely Valentine's date, but before you can get to the good stuff, you are more than rudely interrupted 😳💀💕🎩

Got the idea from this awesome Kim Possible scene 🤣

[heretherebedork]

Mek rejecting Kim because he knows he got accepted into an overseas university and now avoiding him entirely out of guilt and pain and love is painful. He's so bad at words, he's so bad at expressing himself, he's trying to look out for people but without an explanation all he's doing is hurting them. And hurting himself, aching and breaking inside, because he doesn't know to reconcile what he wants and who he loves and the future he's just starting to see as well. Luckily for him, he's got good friends at his side to talk to him.

[heretherebedork]

I just feel awful for Kim, honestly. He's obviously a words of affirmation type of lover who just needs to talk and to be understood and to hear what's going on in Mek's mind but Mek tries to show his emotions with acts of service and the crossed wires are so crossed at this point it almost impossible to sort out. Mek knows what he needs to do, he truly does, but he struggles so much with communication and being direct but that's what Kim needs.

[heretherebedork]

Mek can't find the courage to say he likes Kim when he might be going overseas but deserves to know that and not to just be left hanging in what he thought was the start of a relationship because that's what it was.

But we've always known that Mek struggles with speaking his feelings. He shows them well, he takes care of people and he watches over them and he's possessive and he's jealous but he doesn't say it, he shows it.

And when he's put on the spot in a situation where he has to use words when he was just thinking about a future where he went overseas? He's going to freeze. He's going to freeze and he's going to panic and he's going to clam up and shut down.

Especially since Kim has been shown to often be the only one to be able to get him out of that zone and now Kim is just... done with that. Because he wants a relationship and Mek has just shut that down in his own struggles.

Ugh.

It hurts and I do wish we'd seen more of Mek being indecisive before that? But I get it. I can see it.

[wanderlust-in-my-soul]

Apparently, you and I are doing great as a couple

[heretherebedork]

Mek is trying to take care of Kim but he's only making him feel rejected and that's just... oh, babies. Merk really is just trying to look out for his boyfriend but Kim isn't comfortable enough in their relationship to have an invitation like that rejected.

I did like Kim yelling at the plant in his room, though. That was adorable.
