the war flashbacks are flash-backing and it’s nOT FUNNY

pls give him a loving father JUST ONCE

[rythyme]

*emerges from kitchen, staggering and covered in blood* i made luk chup (ลูกชุบ)

luk chup (ลูกชุบ) are thai desserts made of sweet mung bean paste dipped in agar agar jelly. you might remember them from Until We Meet Again! they're a real pain in the ass to make... but it was a fun experience?

(ignore my stupid-ass blueberries, i couldn't get the shape right)

[dribs-and-drabbles]

One thing I adored (out of many) about Faifa and Wine's rooftop scene in ep 22 of Perfect 10 Liners is that they didn't say (or need to say) "I love you" to each other.

Instead, I adored that Faifa just stated: "We love each other so much, don't we?"

No need to say it or hear it. They just know. And they just needed a catalyst to understand it.

I also adored it because it reminded me of another couple in another series who also didn't say "I love you" to each other during their 'get together scene' but instead one of them said something similar to the above...but for the life of me I could not pull up the exact memory of what or who.

Until now.

Because of course it's a show that New Siwaj also directed.

And of course it stared none other than Ohm Fucking Thitiwat...who also appeared in ep 22 of Perfect 10 Liners...as the catalyst to the above rooftop scene.

Dean: "You understand me, right?" | Pharm: "I understand that...we love each other."

Now I adore it even more.

you're so funny

May I just say, TBNW the series shared a lot of unintentional similarities with UWMA when it comes to their main couples

Part 1 Phukan vs Pharm

Similar:

-Sweet and caring when it comes to their loved ones

-fathers died of illness at 12 and 10 respectively

-both chose their school or major to respect said fathers

- both have mothers who live outside the country

-have very caring friends who protect them at all cost

-have very loving and protective boyfriends/literal soulmates who want to take away all their pain and suffering

-put extra care into their into their unique routine or hobby

-innocent but not naive virgin soft boys who face existential dread the day after their first times

-I’d die for both of them

- both get very vivid dreams of other worlds/past lives respectively

-both got car trouble 😂

-gave themselves space from their boyfriends to wrap their heads around the sh*t they’ve been through

-emotionally got back together with them in the end

Different:

Phu is more dismissive of affection because he’s used to being alone and isn’t used to many people only caring about him while Pharm is more timid and afraid of pursuing love due to past life trauma

Phu is used to not being the sought out for one in his friend group, which leaves him feeling insignificant. While Pharm is more noticed by others for his cooking, cuteness, and relationships, leaving him concerned and embarrassed to reveal things to his friends at the start.

Phu suffers from insecurities about life, abandonment issues and loneliness that he initially copes with by being very superstitious, people pleasing and self isolating. While Pharm suffers from PTSD and anxiety that he initially copes with by avoiding triggers and crying.

Phu is an only child, while Pharm has a younger brother who lives with his mother.

Phu’s mother unintentionally (emotionally) abandoned him by leaving him for Australia to be cared for by family in Thailand while he was still young because she grieved too much constantly being reminded of her late husband while her son wanted to be surrounded by his father’s memories. While Pharm’s mother kept raising both her kids and running a restaurant by herself in Thailand after her husbands death and only after Pharm grew up did she decide to move to the US to open up a restaurant in New York, making sure to constantly keep in touch with her son while he start’s university and also makes sure he’s cared for and they both visit each other whenever they can.

Phu keeps in touch with his cousins and his dad’s side of the family. While Pharm never actually met any of his father’s family until he was a freshman at university.

Phu is an humanities major while Pharm is economics

Phu encourages his boyfriend to live for himself and allow himself to be happy. While Pharm encourages his boyfriend to reconnect with his family be a part of their lives.

Phu distances himself from Cir as a way to cope with the betrayal of being lied to and being made to feel guilty and selfish for nothing, before ultimately coming back to him in a very emotional and dramatic declaration that he hasn’t given up on Cir and indeed still loves him. While Pharm mutually communicates with Dean that he they need some space to reconsider their relationship after the confrontation with their past selves. They still check in now and then and do confirm that they are not broken up, before ultimately realizing their love is theirs and they don’t need the love of two spirits to want to be together.

"Surprise"

[farewellneverland2004]

Part Two of TBNW series similarities and differences with UWMA regarding their leads

Part 2: Cirrus vs Dean(I’m also specifically looking at TBNW series plot when compared Cir and Dean. Not the novel)

Similarities:

- Both very mature and intelligent. Appearing cold and closed off to most while being genuinely sweet and playful deep down.

- both are incurably whipped for their partners/soulmates. Being very protective and possessive over them.

- (to my knowledge) both are business faculty

- both are roughly 2-3 years older than their partners

-both have been obsessed with someone for years(in two very different ways)

-though being very popular at schools, both don’t have many people they consider close friends.

-both older brothers who were raised for the most part separately from their siblings(yet still are protective of them and love them in their own way)

-both have strained relationships with their fathers(even though their fathers still respect who they are as people support them and their relationships)

- both feel immense guilt and the reason for any kind of pain their partners go through.

- both burden themselves with the actions of others and blame themselves before anybody else

- both have a bestie since childhood who are kinda accidentally the best wingmen.

-both pride themselves on being chauffeur for their partners

-both secretly always planning for the future.

-Giving and receiving emotionally significant keepsakes

- both are BIG FANS of physical touch when it comes to who they love ❤️

Differences:(note that I love both these characters and I’m not judging one to be better… okay maybe in moral stance, but only in objectively moral stance!)

Cir is much more hesitant when it comes to pursuing Phu due to him fearing he’s putting Phu at risk if he’s near him. Sure when we first meet him he’s pulling out all the stops, but that was after like 4-5 years of… let’s say admiring from a far. While Dean sees Pharm from across a pool ONCE, and as soon as he learns his name, he is so keen on approaching him in public, getting to know him personally, stating flat out he’s single. You know, the things you normally do when you wanna date someone, but slightly more intense.

Cir is more dismissive and cold to others as a trauma response, feeling that shutting off emotions and not letting people in will be easier because he has little sense of self outside the tool his mom wants him to be and his feeling for Phu. While Dean does also come off as cold, he’s more strict (and grumpy according to Win) than flat out dismissive. He presents himself as serious and responsible as president of the swim club, but he mostly does this to mask his awkwardness around others and his social anxiety.

Cir has to somewhat prove himself more to Phu’s loved ones, because (I believe) they are aware of Phu’s abandonment issues and inferiority complex. While Pharm’s loved ones either immediately accept Dean or actively push for the two of them to be together.

Cir’s mother is a vindictive narcissist who views her son as less than human and more of a reminder of the man who refused to give her what she wanted. While Dean’s mother is a lovely compassionate person who loves her children, but who just couldn’t be there for him while growing up due to her being first too young and then Dean refusing to leave the woman who predominantly raised him all alone.

Cir is rather resentful towards his father for abandoning him and hardly standing up to his ex wife, even though he does understand that his dad still cares and he is great full for him taking good care of his younger brother. Dean however is just not close to his father due to not being raised by him and because his parents are usually away for work. But they also were both raised by Dean’s paternal grandmother and actually quite similar to each other. Which causes them to butt heads a lot when they’re together, yet he also appreciates his father for accepting him and his relationship.

Cir stays close to his younger brother despite being separated and justifies putting up with his mother’s abuse by believing he’s protecting him, which eventually leads to Zone desiring to sacrifice for his older brother and care more about his happiness than his own. Dean however takes awhile to genuinely form a close connection with his younger siblings and presents himself more as a authority figure because he still loves and cares for them yet feels as the older brother he has failed in some way. It’s not until Pharm meets his sister and points out he unintentionally avoids his siblings that he realizes how much his siblings admire him and want to be a part of his life as well. He later works to bond with his siblings and becomes a little more laid back and vulnerable around them.

Though Cir’s friends are supportive of him pursuing Phu and his relationship with him, they are more baffled and confused at Cir’s sudden ambition to be with someone. Yet they’re still very happy for him because Cir finally seems to have a reason to keep going and genuinely seems better with Phu. While Dean’s friends are supper supportive of his relationship with Pharm, they also are incredibly amused by the concept of someone as serious as Dean dating anyone(let alone a kind and bashful little cinnamon roll like Pharm). So they take any opportunity to mess with him and make him act all jealous and possessive. But they’re still very happy that he’s actually being less uptight and (according to Win) and seems to have found what he’s been looking for.

Cir seldom intentionally makes Phu flustered, and is more hesitant when it comes to engaging in very intimate actions with Phu, and when he does he more than not has to hold himself back from going too far too fast because never truly knows whether Phu wants it as well. While Dean LOVES teasing Pharm, and is not afraid to initiate physical touch. But (at least in the series) he aways makes sure that Pharm is comfortable with what they’re doing, reading his body language etc. and the one time he gets too handsy with Pharm before he’s ready, he immediately stops, apologizes and promises to not do it again.

Cir is terrible at being fully honest with Phu and fails to realize how keeping up his lie would emotionally affect Phu and how bad the future fallout would be the longer he waits. While Dean is for the most part entirely honest and sincere with Pharm about everything, but since he also knows that more Pharm finds out, the more likely it is that his condition comes to fruition, he makes sure Pharm genuinely wants to know the truth and decides for himself when and how much of the truth he wants to know.

Cir is more of a soft doting puppy when it comes to Phu’s condition at any given point. He gets more worried and protective about Phu’s health than even Phu does, and he’s much more likely to forget about taking care of himself than he is taking care of Phu. He basically becomes this when Phu is not feeling well 😥🥺. Meanwhile Dean become both this 😟 and this 😠 whenever Pharm isn’t doing okay. Dean is very keen and stubborn on making sure is completely okay and won’t let Pharm dismiss it like it’s nothing. But he also doesn’t just try to prevent Pharm from essential emotions, but instead stays with him through it all and makes him share the pain Pharm feels.

Cir seems let Phu do the planning when it comes to what they do when they’re together, he’s just happy to be with him. While Dean does seem to like activity based dates/romantic getaways(ex. Friend’s restaurant, aquarium, Christmas lights, temple, river rafts and waterfalls, eventually beach etc.)

Cir promises Phu that he would never leave him. While Dean promised he wouldn't stop searching until he found who he was looking for(Pharm)
