We've all been hypocrites. Us and the characters, and it's so interesting to see how it plays out in both the show and fandom each week. All of the mains have at one point or another done something that another character has done, but the responses are different, or are framed in a different way. Some examples,
Everyone has shown a lack of boundaries. All of them.
Both Top and Sand were the other person in a relationship.
Ray was mad at Top for what he did to Mew, but did the same thing.
Boston, Nick, Sand, Mew, and Ray have violated privacy (the tape).
Mew and Sand both used Ray to hurt Top.
Sand tells Nick to forget about Boston while still entertaining Ray's shenanigans.
Boston tells Nick not to bring drama, whilst bringing drama.
Cheaum lectures on friendship while showing that she may not be the best at it either.
All of them have gotten completely different responses, and it fascinates me because it also happens in the show which I believe to be purposeful. A character can be totally vilified, while another is held on a pedestal, ignoring nuances in both if it doesn't fit the watcher or character's perception. Sometimes with hard lines drawn, which I don't think is the best way to watch this show, but you enjoy your content how you wish. These lines aren't only because of the show, but it could be the actor or pairs influence for some, or personal life experiences and morals for others that are driving so many differing opinions. I came across a quote from Eve's Bayou that I think best sums it up.
"The truth changes color depending on the light"
Ain't that the truth.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK WAS THAT ENDING???
How dare they give everyone else a happy ending and Boston is alone?!
I am so fucking pissed off right now.
Oh, here's a bunch of cute scenes of Boston showing Nick that he cares, that he wants to be with him even if he's leaving in a few months, etc etc... All for them to fuck it up by having Boston kiss Boeing and Nick sees it?!
I had a bad feeling that BostonNick would get a bittersweet ending but this was not what I was expecting at all.
All of that great build up for this bullshit?
Ugh.
Fuck right off.

I'm only at sandray's pool playing scene in Only Friends ep 6 so I know I still have plenty of time to be fucked up over whatever is going to happen this ep, but I'm insane about the imagery of Sand, who has just "entered the game" so to speak by doing SOMETHING on Nick's phone, calling Ray to the pub to Play A Game (that involves handling poles and balls, the phallic imagery is not lost on me, immature child that I am in my heart) - lit tentatively and apprehensively with red and yellow, playing with snooker balls tinted red and yellow. And as soon as Ray tries to drop a- what? A remark? A snide hint? A guarded allusion to his thoughts and feelings? - "People around [Mew] can't help falling for him." - Ray grabs the ball (yellow in the bar light) and says-

"Be clear of what you're trying to say."
This is almost certainly not going to go how I want it to go. And I fear, as I have all along, that Sand is actually the less - what? Shaped by heartbreak? Emotionally betrayed? Jaded? - one between the two of them. Perhaps blind is the right allegory, considering it's already being used in the plot.
Ray's literal coat (and his backdrop) is checkered, woven through, with a darker, more abundant black despite how Sand tries to armor himself in his black jackets. Sand is generally (yellow yellow yellow) more cautious.
It's going to hurt before it gets better.
I'm a sucker for this dynamic, I'm a sucker for them.

Boston literally had no reason to hurt Sand and Ray like that. He crossed a line.

Episode 5 random thoughts
Not to like dwell on preview because it's like a clickbait and it very much might backfire at me but does mew get LASIK because Top said he looks sexy in glasses 🤔 and going with a theory of Mew being manipulative it kind of makes sense.
I'm also guessing that fight scene between sand and ray that was in the trailer will be in next ep.
I'm not sure how I feel about half-brother theories for now, so I won't say anything.
I hope Mew is a manipulative bitch because in all honesty topmew for now is the least interesting story if mew isn't planning to make hell out of top's life.
Boston is such a dickhead that's it's fascinating. And watching him with Nick is like I'm watching a trainwreck.
RaySand/FirstKhao are definitely stealing the cake and breaking my heart.

Boeing is what you get when you have Top, Ray, Mew, and Boston, and create one personality. This man is the final boss.

There is a part of me that REALLY hopes that Boston doesn't end up actually having sex with Atom next week.
Either because he starts thinking about Nick and can't go through with it (please let this happen omg) or because he realizes that fucking his friend's younger brother is a Bad Idea™.
(But then again, this IS Messy Bitches Only Friends The Series so... who knows???)
There is that scene in the trailer that has Namchueam comforting Atom about something, so they probably do sleep together. And then Boston doesn't want anything to do with Atom anymore?
Idk what the true outcome will be, but it's sure to be a hot mess garbage fire. And I honestly can't wait to see what happens...

yikes. i feel like they are going to handle this well but oh boy, atom...
considering the wording made it a possible rape allegation idk how sensible this confrontation was unless atom had any input
and expecting nudes but then asking to be shown the pictures is a bit...these three didn't really think this through (not a dig on the writing, i think it makes sense that these three showed up the way they did)
i don't want to say that they are brave to go with this storyline since I have no idea whether they had any trepidations writing it but I do like it. still watching, so no fully thoughtout stuff yet, but regretting sex and having drunk sex (atom wasn't necessarily shown to be intoxicated but he and boston did drink at the party) are fairly common and i do like that they feature that. (will continue to write as the episode progresses. so far very boston but also very interesting to not show the text message atom sent him afterwards).

That has to be the most stupidly-timed 'Happy Birthday' in the history of all BL

I'm legitimately surprised at the results of this poll thus far because Boston is a bitch, but he is no where near as bad as Vegas. Vegas is/was fourth in command in a mafia, k*lls people, t*rtures people, dr*gs people, and takes limbs. Boston's an insecure bitch and manipulative. It's like comparing a chihuahua to a cane corso. Yeah they both have a bite to them, but which one these is more likely to take a chunk outta your ass?
I found myself wondering so I decided to ask you guys.

#the bit is over when i say its over and even when its so joever for these two its not over for me!!! (once again i am on heavy copium)#anyway. thoughts behind the spoiler tags#gempearl#shiny duo#wild life smp#life series spoilers#wild life spoilers#i feel like. i actually was expecting that#no but its so funny the one time the negative consequences of something does actually get acknowledged its the SL finale ‘betrayal’/j#like cmon fuck me i guess/j (BIG EMPHASIS. ON THE SLASH J. OKAY.)#but honestly though i did expect Gem to hold a grudge over the 2v1 in SL. and. its good that there are consequences???#it IS a ‘betrayal’ in Gem’s eyes. they were friends. they were murder besties for the last two sessions and then Pearl chose Scar over her#and its awesome man. [through gritted teeth] this is awesome man this will be good for character development ok ok ok. ok?#its also got something to do with Pearl having the red creep in. i think#because during SL Gem was like. nearly idolising the Scarlet Pearl persona while vaguely aware that her own reputation has a similar effect#and yknow. the horrors. the fact that their image is so heavily built on what others deem them to be and they can only play into it#but by the end of SL Gem gets ‘betrayed’ by this persona that she looked up to#and also her own ‘GeminiSlay’ intimidating image is also starting to fall apart. partly of her own will#and now shes watching Pearl slowly turn red again. and this time she knows its not good for her or Pearl#so shes distancing herself from it. shes ‘trying to fix her reputation’. she sees Pearl falling into it again and just. no. i dont love you#you betrayed me last season#but on Pearl’s end of things she’s already deep into the idea that as long as you say you ‘forgive’ someone then everything thats happened#in the past doesn’t matter and they can all be friends. and nooo absolutely no grudges will be held. no emotional repression here#so. because thats happened to her in her own team she thinks the same can happen with her and Gem#and thats so. im going to blow myself up now
