Satang & Winny on Sound’s love song (x)

Laughed hearing him describe it this particular way. Sound really said: who else but me? It’s not like you’ve got options. <3

I know you don't like my guts. You wouldn't want to help if I asked you a favor. But the music club is looking for a solo guitarist. And you're stopping me from joining. Right. Wait—no!

Tinn and Sound's "rivalry" in MY SCHOOL PRESIDENT (insp)

[aouboomseries]

my school president meta: gun and sound parallels + learning through love

in short: this post will discuss gun and sound's character development parallels through their relationships with their respective romantic partners, and how these similarities inform the closeness of their friendship!

under the cut because i have much to say <3

in the episode that sound is first introduced (ep 4), he and gun are set up as opposing forces. they’re competing for the leadership role of the band, and they have contrasting character flaws. what the other lacks, the other has an abundance of:

gun has no self-confidence but is earnest, kind, understanding, and friendly. even if the general public (aka classmates, teachers) look down on him for being a poor student, he has close friends who genuinely love him and believe in him.

sound is a successful actor and musician at a young age and therefore has an inflated ego. though he is talented and confident in himself and his skills, he lacks the social skills to build any meaningful relationships in his life, despite the love and attention he receives from fans and the public.

however, gun and sound's personal journeys to overcoming these flaws parallel each other closely, developing in large part through their respective relationships with tinn and win.

tinn and win are the perfect partners to help gun and sound confront their flaws.

tinn is kind, attentive, and likes gun unconditionally. he recognizes all of the good qualities that gun misses about himself, his compliments are always natural and unpracticed—he just genuinely believes in gun’s talent and goodness. he is communicative but knows what he wants, which is good for gun whose uncertainty leads to him hurting himself more often than not.

meanwhile win is combative and honest. sound’s celebrity status doesn’t affect win’s initial dislike of him or his loyalty to gun as their band leader. sound can’t be pretentious or falsely charming with him because win sees right through it. when sound tries to act superior, win pulls him back down to earth. win challenges sound to confront the unpolished qualities of himself that he hides from the public.

through these relationships, both gun and sound learn to be open and vulnerable.

in ep 5, gun hides his disappointment in himself from his mom in fear of burdening her. he wants to keep up a strong appearance around her because she’s already stressed about her physical health. so, tinn intervenes and takes of care of gun in his emotionally vulnerable state, ultimately allowing gun to be honest with his mom. throughout the show, gun continuously opens up to tinn about his insecurities as a musician and the struggles he has been through with his family. as he shares more of those feelings with tinn, we also see gun seek and accept physical comfort from him as well.

similarly in ep 8, sound hides his injury from his friends by secretly attending physical therapy and taking off his wrist brace whenever he’s around them. he knows the competition is stressing them out and he doesn’t want to add any additional burden, just like gun did for his mom. therefore, win offers to be his hand, supporting sound in his physically vulnerable state. in doing this, win also lessens the mental frustration and worry that sound tries to harbor all by himself. in the next episode, win continues to care for sound’s emotional state when he recognizes that sound is upset and checks in on him.

these are obviously not the only times that tinn and win have offered physical and emotional support for their boys. it’s no coincidence that for both tinn and win, the love language they use to express their love is acts of service, which is perfect for two boys who aren’t used to asking for help or showing their weaknesses to others. tinn and win know they can’t wait for gun and sound to ask for help, because they never will. instead, they offer their help in any way they can while still respecting gun and sound’s boundaries, allowing them the space to open up little by little.

gun and sound also learn to value their personal relationships on the same level as their focus on music. in ep 7, we see how love changes both of their perspectives.

for gun, rather than seeing it as a distraction, he realizes that love can be something that inspires his music and motivates him to do better in the competition.

for sound, he votes in favor of love, probably out of solidarity with yo due to his own budding feelings for win but also because he has come to genuinely care about his friends and sees how supporting each other contributes to their morale as a band.

in both instances, gun and sound stop seeing love/friendship and music as isolated parts of their lives, and realize it’s okay to prioritize their own desires.

i believe these similarities in their character arcs are the reason gun and sound are shown to be close friends. they innately recognize their similarities with each other and gravitate together because they know there will always be a level of understanding between them. we can see this when sound tries to protect gun from the “plots” of the student council, when gun allows sound to miss practice for physical therapy and keeps his secret from the band, when sound gravitates towards gun when he’s avoiding win, and when gun reveals his own relationship to sound to offer support and advice to him.

in conclusion, gun and sound began the show in a position that could have made them rivals with an antagonistic relationship that would only deepen each of their flaws. instead, their stories are unfolding in beautiful parallels, allowing them to grow closer as friends and bandmates.

Some of these may be background ships, others may be canon by word of god.

Propaganda

Soundwin: Enemies to lovers. Sound is a popular guitarist online and transfers to a new school and then gets forcefully adopted by the school's band full of losers and then falls for the most annoying boy he's ever met, who is in the process of speedrunning his bisexual awakening. They're the "you should be addicted to shutting the fuck up / you want to kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid" and "you're so annoying. Unfortunately in a sexy way /it's over for you idiot I'm in your head now" couple and it goes both ways.

Also originally they weren't going to be a couple (in the og novel Sound is in a love triangle with the main leads) but the director saw their actors in a different drama together and liked their chemistry and so he wrote out the love triangle and replaced it with soundwin

Okay @kissingunderaprideflag sent me an ask about Sound's outfits, so I skimmed through MSP and now I'm absolutely. Losing my mind? I never really realized while watching the show but the thing is, he has two ways of dressing: a middle aged dad or really really gay.

Let me explain:

This is the first time we meet him, and it's a reasonably normal outfit but it's basically just the school uniform. So let's look at the first time he wears an outfit that's not the school uniform -

...HELLO?? My grandpa owns that EXACT sweater. Also it's like. Thailand. Why do you have a sweater. But okay, fine, one outfit doesn't mean anything, let's look at more -

Huh. Okay gayboy

OKAY DUDE

Okay. Sure

(<- shoutout to this absolute unit of a man for wearing yellow in a group of blues and muted tones btw. He's the mc and he knows it)

But my favorite thing about Mr Sound Saran's outfits is

the goddamn

gay little printed shirts

WHY is he constantly wearing Hawaiian style shirts. what

LIKE. THIS IS THE OUTFIT OF A 48 YEAR OLD DAD ON VACATION IN THE BAHAMAS.

Edit: I cannot BELIEVE tumblr would do this to me but it didn't upload this outfit, which is my absolute favorite. It's simultaneously terrible and also stylish and I love it so so much??

So in conclusion he's insane and I love him <3

Bonus: this outfit that shows up on screen for like six seconds

Go king give us office worker!!

(please feel free to share your opinions because I know nothing about fashion/what's cool and trendy I just absolutely lost my mind over Sound's outfits and so I had to share <3)

[quodekash]

dude I wasn’t planning to make any posts for this episode, I wasn’t even planning to watch the episode tonight cos I desperately need to sleep BUT HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Q sat down at the microphone, some music started playing, I didn’t recognise it, but I paused it and as a joke I said out loud to myself “how funny would it be if he started playing no one else like me. like it wouldn’t happen but it would be really funny”

AND THEN HE STARTED FUCKING SINGING THE SONG

IM LOSING IT DUDE, I WAS KIDDING, I WAS FUCKING JOKING AND THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT

the multiverse implications for this are confusing me, but I’m choosing to ignore that because holy shit Winny singing sound’s song we’re finally getting a good recorded version of it holy fucking shit

[firefliesintheskyline]

#SoundWin AU with Win being a thief specialized in pickpocketing, who doesn't really have a place to stay/call home, sleeping in random different places

And Sound is still the guitar player of the Chinzillas band

One day Win tries to rob Sound but Sound catches him

After getting into a scuffle they call truce, with Sound offering to treat Win's wounds

They flirt a little and end up kissing, and Win spends - innocently - the night at Sound's apartment

When Win wakes up, he disappears without a second thought, leaving a disgruntled and genuinely pissed Sound behind

Except he ends up getting that second thought, and even a third, and somehow by the end of the next day he's in front of Sound's door

And Sound really should just close the door on his face but he happens to really enjoy Win's company

So Win starts spending the night at Sound's place, and gradually they get less and less innocent, to the point where Win starts referring to Sound as his boyfriend

But since he refers to him as such only in his head, Sound is convinced Win is still treating him as a casual hook up, so he establishes a single rule : when Sound's friends - Chinzillas - come to visit him, Win can't show up to his house

This creates miscommunication, as Win is convinced Sound is ashamed of him, while Sound simply doesn't want to explain to his friends why he has completely and utterly fallen in love with his one multiple-nights stand

This works for a while, until one night Win is lightly stabbed on the arm, and makes his way to Sound's apartment, only to see from the window two people making out in Sound's room

And he wishes he could control his anger but despite never having really verbalized their situation, he won't let anyone try to seduce Sound and steal him from the thief in charge

He starts climbing the fire escape staircase to get closer to the scene, but accidentally opens the window very loudly and startles the two people inside...both of which end up being NOT Sound

The same people, after a moment of genuine surprise, finally catch up with the scene and start yelling for someone to call the police, except everything quiets down when a livid Sound appears in his own bedroom and just tell the others to go in the living room

Win is genuinely apologetic and tries to not anger Sound further, which completely backfires once Sound takes one look at his arm and looks ready to stab the other himself

"Why aren't you in the hospital right now"

"It's not that deep, I wanted to use the first kit aid, but I completely forgot you were having your friend over tonight..."

Sound still looks mad but less murderous when he all but orders Win to get in the bathroom, before taking the first kit aid and starting to dress the wound

Win feels incredibly stupid but can't stop wishing he could just walk in the adjacent room where the whispers haven't stopped since he appeared, just to tell everyone that he's crazy in love with Sound and wants them to be a couple for real

While in the meantime Sound knows that he will have to come out to his friends and tell them he's fallen head over heels for a man who's interested only in something casual while Sound spends restless days only waiting for him to show up

Sound works silently and efficiently on the wound, before taking a deep breath

"I'm leaving with the band for a six month tour" and he adds, almost as an afterthought "you can use the apartment if you need"

Except why would Win use the house, if Sounds is not there? He's been alive and on the streets for long enough to know how to survive even without a roof on his head

"Why would I come here if you're not around" there's a pause, as Win tries to control the emotion in his voice "please don't go anywhere I cannot follow"

Suddenly Sound's breath hitches, almost as if he can't believe the other man's words

"what are you saying, Win"

Win takes both of Sound's hands in his, while looking at him deeply in the eyes

"I know you're ashamed of being seen with me, but that's fine, you know I can hide well, I just don't want you to leave this, to leave us behind"

"I'm sorry what---I'm not---how could you---" Suddenly Sound his up and pacing in the bathroom "How could you think I'm ashamed of you, I've asked you multiple times to move in with me---"

"I didn't want to put you in danger with my lifestyle---"

"And to get your ass back in here at least once before sunset ---"

"I didn't want to be in your way while working----"

"All this time I've been trying to make you part of my life, but you decided time and time again you wanted to stay on the sidelines---"

"I didn't want to ask you more than you were already giving to me---"

"And now I get accused of being ashamed of being with you??"

Win bowes his head, trying to make himself small

"You said you didn't want me to meet your friends..."

"Because I didn't know what I was supposed to tell them! Because it might surprise you, but trying to explain you've fallen hard and deep for a thief who only appears in the dead of the night to steal your heart, body, soul and breath away, makes you sound like you're crazy or addicted to fabricating elaborate lies!"

Sound tries to calm down after his outburst, but can't control the tears leaving his eyes

"I don't want to be your every-night-stand anymore, Win. I want to be you boyfriend"

"But you are" Win is fast to get closer to Sound, hurrying to wipe his tears away "I've been referring to you as my boyfriend for the longest time, even when talking to some of my acquaintances, that's why I went completely crazy when I thought you were kissing somebody else..."

Sound seems surprised by the confession, but also thoughtful

"Are you sure you saw two people kissing? Those were my bandmate Por and our manager Tiw, they just mentioned they needed to discuss some matters in private--- but that's not important. Tell me again what I am to you?"

Sound is finally smiling brightly, and Win can only match his enthusiasm

"My boyfriend" a small peck on the lips "My smart, beautiful boyfriend" another peck on the lips "My feisty, strong-willed boyfriend" another peck, followed by some giggle "I'll never let you go too far away from me..."

(Win finally gets introduced as the boyfriend, to the greatest joy of Gun, who was the only one who knew the truth and had been forbidden by his best friend to utter a single word to his own boyfriend Tinn.

Win also figures out pretty quickly that Tiw and Por are hiding their relationship from the others and agrees to keep the secret only if Tiw guarantees him a spot on the tour bus and at every single concert venue.)

imagine chinzilla all going to college and living in the same apartment,,, it’s not a want it’s a NEED

“If I don’t get to date, no one gets to date either!” (Solution: date each other.)

Idk if this has been giffed before, but Sound’s facial reaction just sends me haha. *Is Win alright? Please untie me* -> they're still tied up. fyi.

[schrodingers-hoarding-problem]

the fact that satang's name just means candy in Korean (shoutout to my less than elementary knowledge of Korean) has just been living in my brain ever since ik his name

and so there's always that sorta subconscious association of satang (and sound) with something sweet
