A 28 year late promise

Can I talk about how they set up the Phisut family vs the Nirun family expectations for their youngest dating?

Starting with Lee, Phisut mama never used gender, she only wants to know who is the person that steal her youngest son's heart. We see she never give a fuck about that person gender. She is just so happy that her son is happy and to have another child to spoil!

And it goes with Teerak too, at no point does he put any expectation on Lee's crush. Saying someone all the time.

Here, there is no expectation of Lee's crush gender, in that scene the only one to know that Punlee likes a boy is us the audience (and maybe Fah, because unlike his parents and boyfriend at no point he is surprise that Lee likes someone. Instead he is just happy for his brother. So it's either because he is happy that his brother find love like he did or he knows who it is and he is happy he is telling their family).

And this contrast Rak's parents reaction to him having someone. While his mother does start with general vertues and finish by saying that she would love whoever Rak choose, because that his choice. It still put an expectation for Rak. She still have an ideal scenario of who that person gonna be. And while Fah fit in for most of it, he truly doesn't in one part. A part that might look unimportant, but unfortunately is in this society. And it's his gender. Fah is very much a man (unless they go trans/non binary route, but doubtful even if it would be fun), which leave Rak so insecure. But at least, her mom notice and reassure him. Even if, she doesn't understand why yet.

But his father is worst. Because he doesn't even let Rak speaks. The second he realizes that his son is in a relationship. He directly assumes that he is dating an older woman. Which lowkey weird reaction, like even if Fah was a woman, they are what 2 years apart at most, not much of age difference. Like why are you so happy he is dating someone older, just be happy your son is in a relationship. But that's me. His father put a lot of emphasis on the girl part, the gender part. Now I think about it, he never ask question about how "she" is has a person, just be proud that Teerak date an older woman. Add to that Teerak's incapacity to stand up for himself, it was an hard scene to watch and it was hard for him to correct his father.

And the fact those scenes are in the same episode, really show the contrast on how the Phisut parents truly doesn't have expectations on their children partners. They only care about them as a person. The Phisut parents care about Ghlai as a person even before meeting him, wanted to know who he is, because he makes Lee happy. Vs the Nirun parents who care about the gender of Teerak's partner, tho their personality also play a part. But it's something they expect. I love how they set this up. The Phisut parents did everything to make sure Fah and Lee know they don't care about the gender of the people they love. The Nirun didn't. Punlee and Muenfah know and are secure on their parents love even if they are queer. Teerak isn't.

Like Your Sky maybe not perfect, but when it comes to theme of love and communication and growth and trust, of community the show is doing such a good job!

Band leader at church: *tells me that he appreciates me, values me, that I am loved, that he sees the effort I’ve put in, that he wants to get to know me more*

Me: *feels good for a few hours*

Me: *has in-person interaction with him and the worship leader tonight*

Me, hours later: they hate me. They both can’t stand me. Whatever he said this morning, he doesn’t feel it anymore. He thinks I’m weird. He thinks I’m annoying as heck and doesn’t want to be around me. They are both annoyed at me and I took up a disrespectful amount of his time last night and he thinks I’m rude and entitled.

Just the way Shin Tsukimi’s “mask off” moment is him becoming increasingly frustrated to the point of having a nervous breakdown where all he can do is laugh maniacally because he’s so done with everyone acting so incompetent and not seeing things “as they are” (aka how he sees them) is just. Mwah chefs kiss hes just like me fr 😰

Hello Shalom! I hope you're having a good day.

I am a lurker on your blog, seeing someone finding so much belonging in another people brings me joy. I'm sending this because of the post in which you were worried you were a philosemite and to be honest it is a worry that has crossed my mind as well as someone who enjoy tumblr content, conversion blogs and enjoyed learning about Jewish cultures and (I hope) becoming a better ally to Jews.

So, my question would be, what is a philosemite and how not to be one? /gen

First: Thank you, I'm so pleased to know you're here - I feel honored to see you 🩵

So, philosemitism is a specific branch of antisemitism wherein people will often fetishize jewish people, jewish culture, or judaism. I call it antisemitism because - much like chasers for trans people - the problem isn't that you (impersonal) find fascination with another group of people. The problem is that you don't engage with jews and jewish culture from the standpoint of being equals, you specifically will characterize whatever it is that's gotten your attention.

With that in mind... I've been trying my best to avoid even looking like a philosemite because I don't want to be one. I think such a big part of that comes with a territory in that... having jews around you who are comfortable and speak about their experiences helps. Engaging with a jewish community has been really helpful - we talk, joke, laugh, and just... engage person-to-person, and it adds that human connection that brings you closer to others. For many philosemites, they are only happy to engage with the idea of jews but not the idea that jews are people with real feelings. So much of my desire not to be like that is being trans and being subject to many chasers (to clarify, a chaser is somebody who specifically fetishizes trans people).

For many minority groups, there are people who are only willing to engage with the minority insofar as that minority is not a person. The moment that person becomes a person, the illusion falls, and the interest is exposed as, essentially, a sham.

I worry a lot that my intentions are unclear to some, that I don't know how to expose my heart any more than it is now. I remedy that by trying to read, learn, listen, and ponder on actual jewish thought and opinion, and try to engage with as much of jewish culture as I can.

Now, to be clear, not every person with an interest in judaism, jewish culture, or allying themself with jews is a philosemite. That is wholly inappropriate to assume, and I would never apply that label broadly to any non-jew who, like you've expressed, wants to be an ally. The problem arises specifically when the tokenization and fetishization makes one believe that jews are not as human (don't have human thoughts, needs, opinions, complexities, feelings, the things that make us who we are).

Dear you,

I’ll always be a little bit in love with you. You’ll never be in love with me the same way I love you. I hate that I’m ok with that. I’d rather love you like this and hurt at night than tell. I’d rather know you’ll never look at me the same way but will still look at me in a way that counts. I’ll forever want to hold you and squeeze you into my heart until there’s no room left for anything else but you’re not mine. You’re my best friend, my other half, I’d share my soul with you if you asked. I’d sink my teeth in so deep they’d need to use surgery to make me let you go but I won’t. Why’d I fall in love with my best friend. Am I actually in love with you? Or do I adore you too much as my friend. Do I cherish you too much that I mistake whatever this is for love. We laugh and say we’ll live together. We discuss the little things. We both know I would hold and touch you constantly if you let me. We discuss stupid things like what our combined religions and traditions would look like if we had kids. But you’ll never be attracted to me. You never will. You say over and over oh no I could never. We talk about our what ifs and then you crush me with your reality. A random person miles and miles away has more hold on the romance in your heart than I ever will. And I’m ok. I will be ok. I will hold my title close and wrap it in wire and chain and never let it go. Best friend best friend best friend forevermore. That title in your mind and heart and soul will be mine. My greedy hands will never let that go. Love me as much as you are allowed to. It’s enough.

Love,

Me
