🤍Happy Heavenly Birthday Matthew Perry🤍

It’s still so hard to believe that you aren’t here celebrating your birthday with your friends and loved ones. If you know me, you know that F.R.I.E.N.D.S is my all time favorite show. I watch it every night before I go to bed. I’ve seen every episode probably a thousand times and have always laughed at every joke a thousand times as well. Yes, Matthew will always be remembered as Chandler Bing one of the best characters of all time but Matthew should also be remembered as a solider. He should be remembered as a fighter because his whole life he fought. He was honest and never got shed away from talking about his past struggles with alcohol, drugs, and mental health. He had his ups and downs but he always made sure that he was putting a smile on other people’s faces. He loved making people laugh and yes we should remember him for that, but we should also remember him has an inspiration. We should remember him for sharing his story and inspire others to quit drinking and doing drugs. He wanted to inspire other people that it’s okay if you aren’t okay. He deserves to be remembered as a person who just wanted to help and inspire people to not going through with what he been through.

Matthew, you’ve been taken from this world far too soon and you didn’t deserve what was put upon you. I just want to say thank you for Chandler Bing and thank you for inspiring not just me, but a whole fanbase of people that love you and will always miss you. Thank you for being a friend, and thank you for always making me laugh and smile.❤️🪽

If Ross and Rachel went on that date in the pilot, he def would’ve pulled a Ted Mosby and said ‘I think I’m in love with you.’

Hello this is basically a long post about me sorting through my feelings about bad buddy and why it means so much to me.

So over the past few weeks ( i first watched the show 7 weeks ago) ive been trying to figure out what exactly about bad buddy and patpran in particular have got me so inexplicably fond and devoted to them and apart from the usual answers of great writing, directing, performances and the best most electric chemistry and banter known to humankind, i did arrive at couple of other answers too.

First of all pat and (especially) pran are deep and well rounded characters.

Their worlds feel lived in and real.

Their feelings and thoughts and motivations are of course excellently portrayed by both ohm and nanon. and they gave representation to queer people everywhere. pat being the pan/ bi king he is and pran being the gayest babyboy warrior poet ever. pran especially given his repressed nature and emotional closed-off-ness is somebody a lot of people surely saw themselves in, including myself. seeing myself represented like that starting off the way he is and then taking small steps one by one over the course of the whole show (and over years in the show's universe) to arrive at the more assured, more open, more ready to be vulnerable (but still very much the pran we all loved in the first episode itself) was so wonderful to see.

The fact that the show happens in a non homophobic universe doesnt take away from just how special it was seeing queer characters fall, be and stay in love. and most importantly that they got their happy ending (i wont be hearing anything against this cos the ending was happy, despite the slightly bittersweet tinge of it, it was happy and there shall be no counter arguments begone i cant with that)

That episode 12 gave a glimpse of their future.

A world where pat will one day be able to sit with pran in his house eating food made by dissaya. that pran and pat's mom work on a common hobby together cos why not. a world where they no longer have to hide, a world were they could well and truly thrive.

Its so so important as queer people that we get representation and that in a world that is often cruel to the likes of us especially here in asia, that we see happy adult queer lives, where they can be in love in the most mundane of ways.

Patpran and bad buddy gave us that and i will forever be thankful for it.

That still doesn't capture exactly why i rate them as a couple so so highly in my head.

So i thought of patpran in the context of all the other love stories i could possibly remember watching. i thought of some of my top favourite couples - mondler, phil & claire, schmidt & cece, peraltiago, leslie & ben, jack & rebecca, randall & beth, simon & wilhelm, jaeyong & sangwoo, ji hyun & jaewon, bai lang & xun an, tara & darcy, sumi & rimjhim and so so many more and what stood out for me when it came to patpran was that they were the one couple out of all these couples i adore who didnt let anything get between them once they got together.

Every other couple among the ones ive listed have had jobs or other relationships or distance or parents or workplace rules /etiquette or circumstances or the royalty standing in between their love and as a result causing the couple to break apart ( a couple of episodes for mondler to seasons of confusion for peraltiago and schmidt & cece etc) even if briefly.

Except for phil & claire (who btw wasnt even sure about marrying phil when she did) almost none of these couples got together and stayed together throughout their relationship. and yes i agree that a lot of these obstacles and circumstances are very real and taxing and no wonder people chose their own peace at least for a while to deal with everything BUT i just cant help feel more appreciative of pat pran even more cos these two 19 year olds figured this whole thing out faster than any of those full grown adults did.

And yes its fictional and maybe even unrealistic (given the kind of relationships i see irl) yet patpran really do deserve all the love they get. they do deserve a lot of props.

Its not like they didn't have adverse obstacles standing in their way, they had to fight against their families years and years of lies and all the intergenerational trauma and their faculty rivalry and a shitty friend who outed them and any single one of these should have caused at least 12 episodes worth of conflict and miscommunication in any other couple.

And yes i do recognise that bbs didnt have the luxury of time or multiple seasons but they could have kept them apart for a whole episode at least, i was convinced we were in for that at the end of episode 8 as the aftermath of wai outing them. like there is no way the relationship comes out of it unscathed ( i thought! ). and while im sure they personally were rattled and betrayed (pran more so), instead of blaming anybody else or each other they actually chose to handle it together, they worked together and chose to move forward together.

The fact that such a terrible experience instead of breaking them apart actually reaffirmed to both pat and pran just how much their relationship means to the both of them, that they come out of it actually stronger??

i was friggin shook to my core.

And then came the gunshots and the family finding out and the running away and the coming back and the fake breakup and the pressures of all of this should have been enough to drive a serious wedge between any two characters, especially at their age and lack of experience. and yet??? and yet at each obstacle they get up, they draw the other closer and they get down to working on it together again.

Over and over and over and over again.

So for me what separates patpran from everybody else is the fact that ever since they got together, they have chosen eo, intentionally, that has made the difference.

Pat and pran's story may have been destined ( i personally don't know if i believe in destiny). they may have been born neighbours and felt unexplainable intense feelings (that later turned to love) for the other but when it came down to it, at its core, bad buddy soars when the two come together and they choose to keep being together, despite everything that stands in their way.

Love is a choice. love is a sacrifice. but its also a sacrifice and a choice they made for themselves and for each other and above all for their relationship.

Almost all the couples mentioned above arrive at similar destinations but they arrive at it with years of experience and years of struggle. i just cant help marvel at our teenagers who did love better than whole ass adults double their age could.

And more importantly above the awe i feel inspired and hopeful because they showed me that there's always a choice. thats there's always another option. you dont need to get out of your comfort zone. but you also dont need to be in the comfort zone always. you dont need to keep lying to yourself. you dont need to hide every single part of you. there are always other options. there is always a choice.

That hope is not just a noun its also very much a verb. That you and i and each one of us can make that choice.

That if ever i choose to partner up with someone and if we do proper healthy communication (patpran invented healthy communication and consent btw, they deserve EVERYTHING for just that but thats a whole other post) prioritizing the relationship where it mattered, i too could have something ( even remotely) like their love.

For the first time in my life probably i felt like that kind of love was attainable for me if i wanted to pursue it. They gave me hope. and they gave me joy. and i will never not be unbelievably grateful for it.

i first watched friends at a sleepover. we were watching nickelodeon, and it had gotten to the point where they started running older sitcoms. it was one of the 3 episodes they would always play, the one in vegas: part two. i watched it and i said "what is this? is this supposed to be funny?" and i wrote it off. i forgot about it for years. years and years until one day, suddenly, my sibling started to watch it. and i saw chandler and i. well i fell in love. he was the exact character that i always loved the most- the witty, sarcastic one. so i watched it too (and my sibling spoiled mondler but that's beside the point). i watched friends, and i fell in love because when its a sitcom about 6 characters that love each other so much, and its funny, and nothing bad every really happens in it, what else are you supposed to do? you watch 10 seasons of them, and you fall in love, with new york city, with all of the characters who feel real and feel like your friends too, now (maybe except for ross), and you fall in love with chandler and joeys apartment, and monica's apartment, and the stupid chicken and duck. and you finish it and you rewatch it every year because it just gives the feeling of thanksgiving and christmas that you can't explain to anyone but at that moment it feels like home, and you remember all of the bits that they have, whatever chandlers job is and can it be any better than this? and you rewatch it and rewatch it because chandler is the best character on the show and he never fails to be funny in a way that never gets old. i love chandler bing with all my heart, he shaped me and my humor in more ways than one. rip matthew perry, you will forever be in my hearts and in the hearts of others.

[justmesofi]

Hi guys! Can u help me? <3

(Friends spoiler alert)

The book Friends Forever says in season 4, ep 23 (Ross's Wedding 1) when Monica said "Do you think He knew I was here?" to Chandler and appeared in his bed, the audience was screaming in excitement so hard and so long, that they had to end the shooting (or filming, u know).

Sooo. Do u think that there's a video about it? Bc I'd literally love to watch it all over and over again. (If anybody saw a video about it PLS tell me.)

Thank you! :))
