rambles on that last twilight ending
my thoughts on the last twilight ending are so??? im gonna need to sit on this one for a while, bc i loved this show so whole-heartedly that i don’t want to write it off bc of a ‘bad ending’, but it also means it’s hard to reconcile that the ending was… well, i don’t think it was bad. i think it deserves more thought than that, but i don’t think it did what it wanted to, nor did it keep with what the shows message was, or should have been. and we can say it’s as simple as day shouldn’t have got his sight back, but I don’t think that was the only thing. if he stayed blind, the ending still wouldn’t have hit right for me. none of it hit right from the end of ep 11 bc it’s like I could feel the intent of the writing, but it’s not what the writing actually was. and if it was given maybe 3ish more episodes and all these characters were given more time, i think an ending like this could’ve worked. but again, it all comes down to that damn ep 11 curse that I thought p’aof was better than, bc you can’t squeeze everything that needed to be reconciled after this breakup and everything they wanted to do into one ep, not with this show.
i didn’t hate the idea of a breakup. if you’re going with the narrative of mohk having a fear of being away from day bc of his trauma and so on then fine, that works. and so it works that they had to be away from each other to grow in that way, but I do think it was unkind to mohk to send him away on that note. some understanding, and day wanting him to go for his own good would’ve felt kinder, and even if they were his real intentions, they didn’t communicate that either. it just felt like day had no empathy for him. and yes he was probably hurting too feeling like no one was trusting him, but whatever, it could’ve been done better. and if they wanted to play on anything else, then hey there was that whole bit with the car and day thinking mohk was looking after him just for the money, why not use that and the fact the opportunities mohk got in his career were connections bc he was with day. day could’ve been like well that was the whole point, you don’t work for me forever, you can do whatever you want now, or even just played more on him feeling like he’s holding mohk back. idk, i just mean if this breakup was going to turn out to be 3 years, no contact at all, which it did, it should’ve felt bigger than a 5 second argument.
anyway, then the finale comes and again, if they’d given more reason for a breakup, i would’ve understand more why day keeps on denying mohk a second chance, which i already don’t like the phrasing of bc it makes out like he did something wrong and needs to earn a second chance which he doesn’t. the whole thing would’ve been more understandable if this was day realizing that they both grew and found happiness in what they’re doing and he didn’t want to ruin that when the breakup meant it could happen. or they could’ve completely 180-ed and shown that one of them wasn’t happy, or both, idk mohk had no one in the states and was incredibly hurt and lonely, day was struggling after losing mohk like he did and reinforcing the idea that he couldn’t be independent made him retreat again. just anything would’ve given more strength behind a need to push away, and would have made it more satisfying when love overcomes it all blah blah blah.
and as much as i liked the airport scene and the fact day did go after him, do you know what would’ve been more impactful? day, knowing his full ability, and going against his mom who still worries for his safety or going bc of his mom seeing that he’s not truly happy, bc both could’ve worked given different writing, getting on a plane by himself and going after mohk, seeing him be able to traverse it all. for once we watch day by himself and unlike at the start of the show, we’re not constantly scared he’s gonna get hurt, bc he’s confident and able now and we can just watch him go after mohk and be excited about it, like the end to any other romance story. and it would’ve meant mohk got this moment where, after looking after day so much and getting broken up with bc he cared too much, he gets to see day caring for him that much too.
and the sight thing. yes, with the time they had they shouldn’t have done it, it should’ve been that they manage to find their own happiness despite it all, then the whole show would’ve been about day accepting his situation and standing up for his own ability and his own right to independence and happiness, and it would’ve meant mohk could overcome his fear of loss and guilt over his sister and learn that he isn’t to blame for anything, bc now day can make his own decisions and is ok on his own. now if there was more time, i could’ve seen it working, but only with stronger writing. I would’ve loved to have seen a conversation over day getting his sight back, maybe him not wanting it bc he’s accepted the way he is much like how some deaf people don’t want implants, and the opposing argument of how not all people in his place can have the possibility of seeing again. we could’ve seen fear in the opposite direction now that he’s used to his life, and that damn first scene of part 4, we could’ve seen him then wanting to go out into the world and look after people like him, just like mohk did for him, bc mohk made him see the importance of having someone there for you that cares for you and sees you as a person, as normal, not as your disability. and funnily enough, do you know what made me cry at the end of it? then showing the pictures that were taken when day was blind. that’s the kind of thing i wanted to see, and wished i did if they had more time. day getting his sight back but still showing how connected he is to who he was at that time and while not being thankful for it happening, being thankful for the way he’s grown, and loving the person he sees in those pictures. to go from someone who hid himself and his blindness to someone who shares his story and helps and advocates vocally for those like him, despite not being blind anymore. that way you still get to give day his sight back as your happily ever after but manage to retain the message.
so yeah. they missed the ball. but i also want to remove this idea that an ending ruins a whole show. at the end of the day, it’s one ep, and when a show has done so much good in all its other eps, at least in my eyes, that’s the stuff I’d rather talk about and remember.

GMMTV 2025 Tier List
Tumblr media
Thanks to @rythyme for the template. You can make your own here.
Overall, I was very pleased with this year’s line-up. I think it’s the most solid line-up we’ve seen from GMMTV, possibly ever, and the people complaining about it are simply never going to be satisfied by anything GMMTV does. 
A break-down of my S and A tiers can be found below the cut:
Ticket to Heaven (S): I was raised in a Southern Baptist church which, for those unfamiliar with the different sects of Christianity in America, is basically a cult. I have a lot of unprocessed and unhealed religious trauma that still fucks me up to this day, but for some reason, I gravitate towards shows like this that show gay characters overcoming the struggles I’m still fighting. I’m very excited for this one and I think it’s perfectly cast. It’s giving me ITSAY meets Your Name Engraved Herein vibes and will probably make me cry, but I’m not mad about it.
Girl Rules (S): Toxic Yuri? Yes, please! To be quite honest, I’ve never been a huge MilkLove fan, but this trailer totally changed my mind. I think I just haven’t vibed with the characters they’ve played in the past because Love in this??? Oh my god. She’s going to kill me. All of the girls were hot and horny. What more could you ask for?
Dare You to Death (S): Listen. Do y’all remember that Amazon show Panic? I was obsessed with it for no obvious reason because I’m pretty sure it wasn’t even gay, but this is giving me that and I literally cannot wait. I also adore that they’ve finally let JoongDunk switch up their roles so that Joong is the one that actually gets to emote this time because boy does he look pretty when he smiles. 
Cat for Cash (A): Oh my god it’s so soft 😭 The found family feels are getting to me. I think it’s very obvious from this trailer that they only have concepts of a script right now, but I have high hopes that this could be something really special. P’Au was the director of MSP which is one of my favorite BLs of all time. He’s been stuck doing Japanese adaptations this year, which I don’t think he likes or excels at, but I’m excited to see him tackle an original script in the genre he’s most comfortable with. He’s P’Aof’s protege and their styles are very similar. 
Love You Teacher (A): This is my “hear me out” of the day. Age regression isn’t a trope I’m familiar with and I do have some reservations, but boy did this trailer make me feel things. If this was just a basic amnesia plot, it would probably be S tier for me. I think it was perfectly cast and I’m willing to reserve judgment until I see the finished product. P’Dome of Peaceful Property fame is directing, so I’m expecting that same brand of “romcom” where it’s actually not a romcom at all and instead makes you cry every single episode.
Only Friends: Dream On (A): I was going to put this in B tier, but EarthMix fucking on stage in an empty theater bumped this up to an A for me. I fully expect to enjoy this version of Only Friends more than the original because the original stressed me the fuck out. This time, I have no skin in the game and can just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Melody of Secrets (A): I’ve watched this trailer like four times and I still have no clue what’s happening, but I like the vibes. ForceBook proved in Peaceful Property that they can take on a serious script and I’ve always felt that Book especially is highly underrated as an actor. I’m excited to see them branch out and try something different.
Tagging a few people whose tier lists I would love to see, but feel free to ignore: @doublel27, @mbjw, @wangxianinventedromance, @elliebirdwrites, @khaopybara, @moonkhao, @boozles, @scrumptiousstuffs
And everyone else please feel free to participate and tag me in yours as well!

i wish i was an expert in bl couples so i could be normal about FK, i'll be like "this is normal, we’ve seen this kind of cp before" but i'm not. Everytime i see new stuff about them i go into full delulu mode, theres is no logical explanation for the things they do, they are in this queer-platonic shit for life! i wonder if they do have romantic feelings towards each other, if they feel something more when they kiss or if they ever talked about it. People around them doesn't help me in my delulu mode, all people they meet have something to say about them two and it's always suspicius things. In this promo season things get crazier and crazier which makes more delulu than usual…
(i love you blog, sue! I've already sent u more asks than you can imagine lol, i love yapping and seeing ppl yapping about our codependent besties!)
Oh you are so sweet 🥰…
Please feel free to yap more about our pair of sticky soulmate besties. And welcome to the delulu land where I too, sit firmly in the hill of queerplatonic hehe 🤭
I don’t know how else to explain the boys antics 😅 beyond it’s just normal “FK behaviour” - and clearly everyone around them have the same thoughts as we are as well - from their own family members, to their colleagues and directors. Not to mention, all the crew members who worked with them (they are clearly loved 🥰, which is so endearing to me)
I’m going to use this opportunity to put up some throwback pictures of our boys when they first got paired up cause that’s what started my hyper fixation on these boys (and I’m always up to posting more pics from the boys hehe) during “The Eclipse” era - when they were filming “Over The Moon” OST (it was P’Aof who directed the MV? 🫣 - also everyone, thank him cause he basically chuck our boys to P’Golf and say, they will make an amazing pairing 😆)

not to be on that bad buddy bullshit again on this random friday night but god bad buddy episode 5 is truly a piece of art. a masterclass in writing and story telling. anytime i revisited this episode, my love for it grows tenfolds. even years later. it’s just a flawless episode. writing wise, directing wise, story telling wise, performance wise. it’s such a pivotal episode. a turning point for the show and it perfectly wraps up the first arc of the plot.
it was also ballsy enough to take quite an immediate turn on what we think we were watching from ep1-4. because we thought we’ve been watching a cute romcom all along but suddenly it isn’t, suddenly there’re depths and layers to these characters and oh, these characters are humans. so so humans. because we thought we knew pat all the along, but “i was so lonely without you” and oh we really don’t know anything about him up until this point. and instead of it feeling like an absurd whiplash, narrative wise, it just made us realize “oh. OH everything was there all along. pat was there all along. he was just kept away from us at the hands of the writer.” ITS PEAK STORY TELLING AND WRITING. i feel the need to repeat that. because it’s NOT an easy thing to pull. but p’aof did that and he did it while riding on the story building from ep 1-4. he had a vision and he worked it to a fucking t. it’s such a perfect television episode. start to finish. idk. people should study this episode. it’s just so layered and the more you dig into it, the more you find. AMAZING AMAZING. i will worship the ground p’aof walks on just for giving me this episode

My notes are even messier that usual because I WAS MISTY the whole time.
Alan and Wen broke up for 45 min and the cinematography engulfed them (and US) in the dying light of their love until the fire went out.
FirstMix or the Doe eyes/Baby cow eyes pairing ready to break hearts.
Jim shut up. « I don’t want anything from you » MY BACKSIDE. LoVe you lots but you hired that man, you let him in your inner circle and in your house, YOU LET HIM PARENT YOUR CHILD. You reject him just enough to keep him around because you want him, you are just fucking scared.
HeartLiMing using sign language in front of their parents, shutting them out of their conversation I was screaming. LEARN TO SIGN MADAM.
LiMing in his American Flag shirt being Heart’s voice and safe place. *boohoo break* The shoulder lean to hug transition was so seamless and tender oh so tender.
Li Ming repeatedly asking if Uncle Jim wouldn’t do the same and Jim being incapable of denying it = they are so much alike.
Jim crossing the threshold of his own home (and fear) to tentatively and wordlessly embrace and welcome his lover = P’Aof shot of the week.
Tumblr media
THE TWO EP A WEEK FORMAT IS ALMOST TOO MUCH TO HANDLE BUT SUCH A TREAT.

I thought P’Aof was the Thai BL master at writing the best parents and families, but I see New Siwaj went to the mat in UWMA. That was a HELL of a family reveal scene with Dean’s folks — perfectly timed with tension, release, and an actually WELL-DONE and needed flashback, with Dean’s parents relating to Dean directly. WOW.
Kinn’s dad nailed it. And I was internally screaming for Dean: HOLD ‘EM DOWN. And Dean’s grandmother coming thru, too!
I keep saying this. I was NOT prepared for HOW GOOD AND BALANCED this show is. The family, the food, the sensuality, the acting (oh, and episode 13’s settings in nature??), everything. I am CRUSHING through this series because it is SO DAMN GOOD. 2019 was GIVING!

Mom, you’re ruining the boy’s plains to see their partners! Go away!
Good boy, Day, remind your mother that she in fact has two sons! Oh poor Night, sobbing over some stew. That woman ruined her kids, seriously, why are these QL parents always idiots?
Mhok is gonna get stood up isn’t he? Ugh! Forget family time, don’t break Mhok’s heart.
Yes, cute family moments, but Mhok!!!
Yay, he showed up! And all by himself too.
Day is eating a second Christmas dinner for Mhok, that’s love right there lol.
Lmao, don’t worry Day, I don’t like red wine either. Sour grapes is all it is.
No! Come on, don’t do this! No! Ugh. P’Aof I expected better from you. This whole; Day can only be truly happy with sight, after all this build up of how to trust in himself and learned to live blind. I’m so disappointed.

Moonlight Chicken is really making me miss the days of long, drawn out 25 episode seasons of tv… like… hear me out: in a 25 episode season you had loooong arcs, you had A plots, B plots and C plots, sometimes you had one off guest appearances (and then surprise reappearances of those guests later!) you had silly one off stories that only took an episode to tell, you had building tension that took 12 episodes to come to fruition. You had unlikely pairings that often made for amazing character development… and then you had (my personal favourite) bottle episodes. Where you’re essentially creating a televised stage play for a moment, because the characters are trapped in a limited space and can do almost nothing but just talk to each other.
Please just like.. take a moment to imagine how vibrant and fleshed out Lung Jim’s world would become in a 25 episode season? How deliciously drama filled the conflict would become between him Wen and Alan and even Gaipa?
What if we didn’t actually see Alan interact with anyone until the midseason finale… what if we only got flashbacks and back story, building up to him finally being on screen? The way P’Aof did it in 3 episodes was a gut punch… imagine it in 12… 100s dead. No survivors.
Perhaps there would be a black out during a storm and because of this Gaipa and Gong end up holed up in the same shelter but by coincidence waiting for the storm to pass?
Maybe Heart and Li Ming go on a camping trip, supervised by Leng who just needs a break from life... and that same storm has rolled in and suddenly these 3 kids could be in real danger!
Gaipas mom and some of the other market vendors could have a really intense lawn bowling league and the tension is high in the market for one episode as they battle it out to see who gets the rights to the best stall location in the market!
What if a new market vendor shows up and creates some stiff competition for Gaipa and his mom? Oh yeah, and the vendor is played by Off Jumpol.
Or all the women in the community come together when they find out Praew is pregnant and hold her a communal baby shower! (Am I just ripping off plots from Schitts creek now? Whoops)
And then always in the background, the B plot which would become the A plot in the back half is the impending destruction of the community and building of the food court…
Listen maybe this whole ramble makes no sense.. I’m just saying… the story that is being told in Moonlight chicken is vibrant and beautiful and they are doing an wonderful job and making it concise and engaging… but I miss the days of meandering plots and slow builds… of getting moments with every character and seeing them interact with characters they usually wouldn’t and what I miss most is the completely goofy situations that arise for just an episode or 2 but don’t impact the actual story…

bad buddy fandom getting-to-know-you meme!
(created by @fiercynn)
thank you for tagging me vi @disasterbabygirlnick and sorry i'm so late!
note: i consider "fanworks" to pretty much everything people create related to a fandom, including but not limited to meta/analysis/discussion, gifs, fanvids/edits/fancams, filk, fanart, fanfic, fan food, fan crafts, etc. please include this note with the meme unless you have a different definition!
name and whatever you want to share about yourself
vish, 25, demi/bi, from finland. lately been thinking about going by she/they instead of she/her. maybe even more they/she if i can put it that way.
when did you watch bad buddy/join the fandom?
i started watching the series and joined the fandom after ep 7 had aired. it all begun on my christmas break at my parents’ place where binged all the available episodes in a couple of days. my christmas was spent thinking about the rooftop kiss and how that absolutely ruined me. BB was never on my radar bc the title didn’t really intrigue me (i have bad experiences with BLs with silly titles) and i wasn’t really thinking about watching a series with ohm again, but i am so happy that tumblr dragged me in. changed my life and my perspective on BLs. and now i’m way too deep in this shit hehe
favorite ship(s)
patpran and waikorn. i adore inkpha too but mainly as a GL couple that has made me feel comfortable and seen. they never stuck with me as much. patpran are my comfort and waikorn give me extreme brainworms.
favorite character(s)
my two architecture losers aka pran and wai. pran is me, i am him. he gets it, to put it simply. wai, then again, is very my brand of blorbo, my bastard son, my horrible wet rat boy, my hissy kitten. the maker of chaos and absolutely horrible with feelings. i could fix him, i could make him worse, and i’d enjoy every moment of it.
favorite episode(s)
ep 11 for the overall bittersweet feeling. the whole episode just feels like the calm before a storm. it’s their sweet goodbye to each other despite nothing ever truly ending between them. also ep 5 for the ending part but also for pat’s journey to self-discovery.
favorite scene(s) 
from ep 5 the whole ending part: the three-way fight, the rooftop kiss, and even pran going through it at the beginning of ep 6. ep 11 shirt scene and pat thanking pran, pat in music store discovering himself, wai protecting hurt pran in the rugby game (the brainworms are real with this one), ep 12 reveal where pran comes to pat's door, hotpot double date, bar scene at the end. oh, and absolutely the fiasco that is wai trying to flirt with pha in the park while ink is there. that one's golden.
one thing you would change about the show if you could
i agree on the wai apology with you vi. it should happen as a nod towards the fact that his behavior was not ok. even if things got sorted out for patpran and even if in their world wai’s actions didn’t have as dire consequences as they could have in the real world (where homophobia is very real), the viewers should get shown that he acknowledges his wrongdoings and that patpran deserve a proper apology from someone like him. ALSO PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET WAIKORN BE TOGETHER P’AOF AM UNDER YOUR BED
what are some of your favorite fanworks made by other people
tried to gather some type of list and probably missed so many but at least these:
[x] bad buddy rewatch episode edits by @baifengxis ♥ [x] all this type of random bb gifs (the coloring in all of them is stunning!) [x] this patpran in ep 11 edit [x] patpran + rooftop edit + many other edits bc the style is just stunning, all by @pranink ♥ [x] patpran spiderman au [x] gifted buddy set for my bday both by the amazing @dimpledpran ♥ love you! [x] this lovely just friend? -edit by @/coldties ♥ [x] patpranmusic series by @bevioletskies ♥ [x] this inkpha edit by @akingyouniverse ♥ [x] pran as favourite character [x] favorite patpran moments both made by @nanons who always nails the colors ♥ [x] this super cool just friend? mv edit by @prany ♥ [x] how to get the girl guide by @weiwuxian ♥ [x] this celestial patpran set [x] favorite episode: episode 7 set made with pure magic by @raypakorn ♥ [x] favorite scene: main six at the bar by @dramaism ♥ [x] architecture gang by @mantrisanu ♥ [x] the most amazing bb photobooth art by @/thatgothsamurai ♥ [x] this stunning yet heartbreaking patpran set by @guntapon ♥ [x] inkpha + taylor swift's mastermind [x] best dynamic: person a + person b [x] patpran + distance [x] patpran and the fleeting happiness in ep 11 [x] bb study in film noir [x] bb/patpran ft. the old guard all by my forever inspiration and muse @oswlld ♥ i miss you!
(if you create fanworks) what are your favorite fanworks that you’ve made?
oh yes i managed to make a ton of edits for this show (and still sometimes do), so here are a couple of personal favorites:
[x] patpran + the desire for reassurance [x] patpran + sea of strangers [x] patpran + i had you (what if it all was just a dream) [x] this patpran soulmates edit [x] patpran as sun & moon [x] patpran's love through the season (my peak imo) [x] patpran + signposts (another peak but for different style) [x] my otp: patpran [x] fighter pran [x] the real five love languages [x] pran's life anthem: i won't say (i'm in love)
i've spent so much time and effort making all of my edits for bb and i don't regret any of it. i've had so much fun and met so many amazing ppl through them ♥ thank you!
a song that makes you think of bbs (the ones in the show don’t count lol)
i didn’t have a much of a playlist for BB outside of the songs in the show but maybe: if god had a boat by anyma, are you with me by nilu, and my oasis by sam smith. (i was very focused on not me during this period when it comes to music, so i associate most songs with that instead.)
idk anything else you want us to know?
i think the next edit I need to make for bb is a wai text post meme bc for some reason i haven't made one yet??? so see you there!!
tagging: idk who has done this already bc i'm so late but @dimpledpran @mantrisanu @oswlld @nanons @machikeita @milkpansa @icouldhyperfixatehim @thanawins @seanwhites @i-got-the-feels @patspran @nongnaos ♥

i remember doing this for the bad buddy rooftop kiss back in the day and now i need to do it for last twilight bc the combination of p’aof’s direction and jimmy’s performance has launched this scene into the stratosphere just based on the way mohk’s micro facial expressions tell this incredible complete story and give away how he’s feeling and how those feelings mix and change from one second to another and it is just mastery of this art at the finest level
from the moment day asks if there’s anyone out there that doesn’t pity him, you see mohk take this small breath and he is just looking at day for so long, like his insides are screaming me, right here, im that person, and it’s like the extent to which he is desperate to communicate that to day takes him back, it’s that overwhelming. but when we cut back to him again, he seems that slight bit more confident and sure of himself and you sense it more in the way he says day’s name with no doubt or fear. him saying day’s name is trying to get that attention, an attempt at communicating that meaning, that he’s here, like he’s about to say it before the moment kind of takes over and he finds himself acting on it instead of just saying the words, bc the moment demands the surety and conviction only an action can convey. so he starts to move forward, and even in this approach he starts with confidence, almost determination, with the smallest hint of sadness that mixes together to give this sense of him saying I’m mustering all my courage to do this and admit this to you bc I can’t handle the way my heart is breaking bc of the belief you have that all expressions of kindness and love towards you are born of pity. but then he swallows and blinks and in an instant, for the smallest final moment of that close up he softens, and he enters this moment where he is just mesmerized and taken by the moment and he’s inching closer and his eyes keep darting to day’s lips and you can feel that he’s body is moving on its own, bc then there is that gorgeous moments where he shakes and a shiver goes up his spine and he snaps out of it, the reality of the moment falls upon him, like oh my god, i was just going to kiss day. then in a millisecond that determination returns and he says yes i am going to kiss day. and I adore that moment more than i can put into words, that they make the distinction that this kiss isn’t just a hazy, caught up in the moment thing, it’s also mohk gathering up his courage and committing to doing this, its something he is actively choosing to do, he is conscious of it all. he’s had to draw this line and stand with his toes up against it keeping the correct distance from day bc of his duty, but now he is stepping over and he knows it, and all that comes with that. and then he does it, he leans in, and he stutters, the smallest to and fro like in the last moment he’s trying to see what wins out, the need to hold back or the need to give in, before he commits and it is done.
and then when day steps back and asks if mohk is pitying him too, god this moment is gonna stay in my head for a long time. it is two smirks, one that is tight with glassy eyes that betrays how his heart breaks that day would think that, and then he does the tiniest shake of his head that says no, no it’s not, how do i make you understand that it is not, and then he sighs with his whole body as he realises this is what I can do, decides this is what i need to do, this is what I want to do, and then we get that second goddamn smirk that in an instant manages to bring this lightness and joy to whole moment bc at the end of the day mohk is about to kiss the living daylights out of this man in front of him and there is no way he is not gonna be both smug and overjoyed by that, and there is this loveable smugness to that smirk bc mohk knows he is about to go in and shift day’s world on its axis and he’s doing it all bc he needs to know people can do things not bc they pity him, but bc they want to, and in that moment, it’s not a soft, gentle kiss that’s gonna make day realise that, but a kiss that sweeps him off his feet, a kiss that consumes him, bc plain and simple, you don’t kiss like that out of pity. and it has to be something deep and longing and carnal so that day will believe this is from somewhere deep inside mohk, both passionate and heartfelt, and it bursts into this sensory overload where mohk takes him and moves him so that their mouths meet, and that arm around his shoulders consumes him into this world that is just undisputed passion and want mixed with heartfelt romanticism and the tectonic plates shift, the cracks of the earth change and the planet rumbles and we are left on this cliffhanger clamoring to know what is going through day’s head, bc his world just shifted, what now??
and all that just through the microexpressions on mohk’s face. and not to forget day, i think it works perfectly that he is not expressive, or only expressive in the tiniest ways bc the whole point of this kiss was to take day, who was so stuck in his sadness and dejection, and turn his world on its head. and the beauty of this show for all the eps so far is that mohk is so expressive in his face while day can’t see any of that, cant see any of the nervousness or determination or love, he only knows it’s happening when it’s happening, and i wrote before about how the show can only progress once mohk has the bravery to put what his face expresses into words, but now he’s gone that step forward and put it into actions, actions that’s intent cannot be disputed. he’s made himself vulnerable and put himself on an equal level to day who is vulnerable bc of his condition, and left all the power in his hands to decide where this goes.

oh I love you for that response to that anon, like nothing againts the anon but Jim slander NOT ON MY WATCH, also lowkey if you don't at least empathize with his character you missed the entire point of the show. also yes I don't think people who haven't been in that situation understand how being poor and wanting to take care of the people you love and not being able to bc you don't have the money can consume 90% of your thoughts. and on top of that everything else that happened to him, like
exactly! like i really think the people hating on jim are 100% missing the point. p’aof and the rest of the crew aren’t even being subtle with the message, the conversation with him and wen about wen not understanding what it’s like to be poor is so blatant and people still aren’t getting it!!! you can say you’d do things differently and handled it better than jim all you’d like, but if you haven’t known the feeling of not knowing where your next meal comes from, you have no place to talk.

my god. i need to catch my breathe. i need 365 days to process this episode. it was perfect. absolutely perfect. i have zero notes, zero concerns -- literally nothing at all. it was so perfect. i enjoyed the whole episode so much ohmygod it has been a while since a show has done this to me and of course its a P’Aof thing.
just my highlights:
the proposal holy shit phupha was choking on his emotions he was so emotional i had shivers
pat and pran are in a 24/7 roleplay. a whole morning of domesticity. constantly calling each other chief and tian. the actual roleplay on stage. the whole ‘fan service’ as chief and tian but they’re actually just kissing but the whole uni now has prime fodder on these two ‘exes’
planting a sapling as a momento of their time and a sign of their growing love i want to throw up wtf
WAIKORN? WAIKORN?! CHAOS INCARNATE 
Ink and Pa i will cry i did not think i would see them again but we saw them and they were gfs (the crying and the head on shoulders and the head pat and the general clinginess oh god) 
the finger licking. The Finger Licking. 
The way they sold the play to their parents: “its just a play” and “he doesn’t have social media” GLASS CLOSET GLASS CLOSET GLASS CLOSET 
“now that we are behind the curtains can we kiss as pat and pran” S T O P STOP IT I WANT TO BREAK SOMETHING 
the perfection of the last time we see pat and pran and they are cosy and in their own space and they are affectionate and they are still bickering and the whole message of some things will never change and how that is a comfort oh.my.god. 
i don’t even know how to address phupha and tian. earth and mix are SUCH phenomenal actors. the way phupha learnt so much from pat and dare i say tian learnt from pran. 
THE S C E N E
the way pat and phupha were paired together in the forest and pran and tian were the other pair vs the mirroring of pat-tian and pran-phupha vs who plays whom in the actual play
utter bliss. i love love. i loved these four episodes.

top five upcoming bl shows that you're excited for?
OH THIS IS SUCH AN INTERESTING QUESTION!!!!! let's see....
1. last twilight. JIMMYSEA + P’AOF + A STORY ABOUT A DISABLED CHARACTER DO I NEED TO SAY MORE. i mean i could and i would but you don’t want me to go down that rabbit hole, trust me. even pushing my own personal bias to the side, this looks like it's gonna be a mature story with fantastic direction and cinematography, and if done right it could also give a very powerful message about disability, so i have insanely high hopes for it and im gonna be SO ANNOYING when the show finally airs (yes even more than i already am).
2. wish you luck. im not sure we’re actually getting this in 2023 or at all tbh, but god knows i desperately need it because 1) tonnam FINALLY as the main character in a BL, it’s what my boy deserves so please make it happen, and 2) [CHANTS] SCI-FI BL SCI-FI BL SCI-FI BL!!!!!! i enjoy it immensely when BLs try to get plotty and ambitious and innovative, and the trailer seems to have a pretty good production and fantastic cinematography. it honestly has so much potential AND I WANT IT SO BADLY.
(and just to confuse the hell out of everyone....)
3. wish me luck. this looks like a very classic office romance and i do personally tend to enjoy those, but the real reason why im more excited for this one compared to all the other office BLs we’re getting this year (a boss and a babe, cherry magic thai, step by step, etc.) is that i ADORE both fiat and na and i can’t wait to see them together as the main characters in a BL. in the category of office romance it's also the trailer that convinced me the most out of all of them, like the vibes are just [chef's kiss] immaculate. ALSO MORE TONNAM.
4. dangerous romance. to be fair i could have honestly put any other gmmtv BL here because im very excited for all of them, however after seeing perth and chimon in never let me go my interest in this one has skyrocketed, which is very surprising to me considering it's an highschool BL, but this is what great actors with great chemistry can do to a woman. the plot isn't particularly groundbreaking but at the same time the trailer is really compelling and i like that the show will probably deal with more serious topics, so im very much here for it.
5. the next prince. to be completely honest im not that big of a fan of zeenunew (or dumundi in general actually), however this show looks like all my teenage dreams coming true and unfortunately i am very weak for it. i grew up with movies like ‘princess diaries’, ‘the prince and me’, ‘what a girl wants’, and so many other hallmark christmas movies about modern royalty, all the while wishing there could be a queer alternative for those, which in the years also made me read all the possible royalty AU fics i could find for my ships. so not only domundi is playing with all my hopes and dreams, but they also gave me fencing and ballroom dancing and love vs duty. this is most likely going to be pushed to 2024 and im not sure domundi will be able to actually deliver (at least plot-wise), but despite my better judgement i am embarassingly excited for this one.
+BONUS
our skyy 2. i thought it wasn't fair to give this a spot in my top 5 because it felt a little bit like cheating since we already know and love the characters BUT GOD AM I STOKED TO GET ALL OF OUR FAVORITE BOYS BACK!!!!!!
ask me my top 5 anything
