#yeah jeng my boss jeng

[sunshinechay]

Anyone wonder if it’s not so much that Pat had a terrible gaydar but rather was Pat’s attempt at shutting down his crush on Jeng.

No point in having a crush on a straight guy who is also my boss right?

[jjsanguine]

Pat: I didn't do anything weird yesterday did I?

Jeng: no

Jeng: you just drunkenly cursed me, hit me, and slapped me as I carried you into the car and then later into my house

Jeng: and then you threw up as soon as the car parked outside

Pat:

Jeng: you only threw up a little ! Anyway I'll get you your stuff

Pat, internally debating whether he should just flee the country at this point:

Random BL Grievances, 2023 Edition

Listen. I was going to be nice. I was going to listen to my better angels. Shan, I said, there is no need to hate, it's all love! Just let it all go! But then my Tay Tawan was cruelly ripped away from me and @my-rose-tinted-glasses gave me inspiration. So fuck it, we ball. Hateration turned up to 11, let's go.

Worst Waste of a Good Start: Jun & Jun

Remember when this show started and it was all about scent kink and extremely horny energy, and then suddenly that all evaporated so we could add a bunch of side plots and do four different love triangles instead? Yeah I'm still mad about it!!

Most Overused Metaphor: Dangerous Romance

Hey y'all, did you know windmills need wind to power them?

Rudest Boy: Lomfon, La Pluie

The audacity of this boy. The chaos he sewed. Look at this scene! Immediately after this he not only plotted a secret date with his situationship's brother, he kissed said brother without consent. He made Tien cry. I may have forgiven your lanky ass, but I sure didn't forget!

Worst Retcon: Naughty Babe

This is not Men in Black and you can't just mind wipe me into forgetting these two already worked through half these issues in Cutie Pie. Not to mention suddenly turning a dog into a CGI tiger!! Thanks to Nat and Max for their service though those sex scenes at the end did help me cope.

Biggest Audience Betrayal: Minato's Laundromat 2

Plot contrivance amnesia! In my painstaking slow burn self acceptance journey that I have spent two entire seasons on. I will never forgive them.

Most Egregious Lack of Threesomes: Only Friends

You put me through all that messy drama and all those teases and I did not get to watch even one (1) threesome? Just a couple of kisses and everybody vacates the pool. I ask you, what was the point of Boeing if he wasn't here to fuck everybody! For shame, Jojo.

Most Undeserved Forgiveness: Eun Ji and Tae Hyung, The Eighth Sense

These two assholes are really up there amongst the worst friends in drama this year. I don't care what Jae Won says, I do not forgive you. Ji Hyun should have kept that petty energy for the both of them.

Biggest Character Letdown: Sand, Only Friends

Eternally pouring one out for the rougher, more cynical version of Sand who was wielding a baseball bat in the trailer. I don't know what happened to you, my guy, but you live on in my heart.

Most Baffling Dropped Plot: Thyme, A Boss and a Babe

Why was Drake even in this show? What was the point of all that plot set up in the first half if they weren't going to resolve it?? Why wasn't Thyme the mole??? Make it make sense.

Most Obvious Lack of Purpose: Between Us

How on earth did this happen? You have literal years to write a compelling sequel story for a wildly popular side ship and this is all you can come up with?! Aside from a couple nice sexy scenes at the start, this show really had no idea what it was about and nothing interesting to say.

Biggest Waste of Everyone's Time: Absolute Zero

New Siwaj, you're getting the triple dose on this list!! And AZ is your biggest sin this year because what the fuck was this! You had all that money, all that talent, all that time at your disposal, and this is what you did with it. UWMA squad was lined up to see you finally do another masterpiece, and you delivered this mess instead. What is going on with you, sir, I feel it's time for an intervention.

Worst Derailing of a Good Show: Step by Step

You didn't think this post was ending without me mentioning this disaster, did you? An all-time cautionary tale in how to waste a good slow burn. Jeng deserved better and so did we.

[heretherebedork]

Lost. Jeng is absolutely lost and he's uselessly in love with Pat and it is breaking my heart because his love is so much a part of him and he understands himself so well. He knows he's in love but he's trying so hard to be realistic. So, so hard. Too bad there's no realism for him when Pat is involved.

He goes all smitten and adorable instantly and it's amazing. But also getting adult relationship advice from his adult friend who basically goes 'yeah, you love him, but you're also his boss dude' but still encourages him to love and to try in love because you can change jobs more easily than you can change your heart.

I love this show so much.

[waitmyturtles]

In this edition of FUCK, THINGS GOT REEEEEEEAL GOOD: Step By Step, episode 9 thoughts:

First off:

THANK GOD THAT BABY IS OKAY, BUT I'D LIKE A FOLLOW-UP UPDATE ON THEIR HEALTH, PLEASE.

I'm a mom. A slightly traumatic birth scene in a BL! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

I'm talking with @lurkingshan about this, but I'm going to leave the timeline issues of the pregnancy to the real SBS experts. If the baby was OKAY and CRYING after a traumatic labor like that, my mom spidey sense says the baby was likely 34 weeks or above. Otherwise, that would more of a real emergency situation, with the need for a very sterile environment, and a really fast, emergency transport to a hospital and a NICU. (Also, around 34 weeks is when moms are advised to not be far from a hospital -- at least in the States -- in the case of this emergency onset birth situation, so that's what's leading to my guess about Ae.) Again, this means that the show may have made a big-ass timeline jump, and I don't think I'm expert enough to apply that to Pat and Jeng, so I'm gonna leave that alone.

Also, at THAT stage of pregnancy, late and belly-dropping.... yeah. Maybe a short stop on a bus can induce labor. We have a family member whose labor was induced when she tripped from a bus. (Real quick education, family: if someone around you breaks water, GET THEM TO A HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY if you can, the risk of infection SKYROCKETS after water breaks.)

Okay. Give me babies and I give you mom. Let me step away from that for a second to say:

The show FINALLY GOT GOOD, for my tastes.

Tee Bundit got an editor. We got CRISP dialogue. SMART writing. The episode fit what it needed in its runtime. That's all I was asking for, dear Tee.

We got words. We got real descriptions about boundaries. We got real resistance to CROSSING those boundaries. We got meditations on how to DEAL with those boundaries. We saw Jeng RECOGNIZING that those boundaries are preventing Pat from coming to Jeng intimately, and that Jeng HAS A RESPONSIBILITY to DEAL with those boundaries, instead of ONLY leading with his heart, in a difficult boss-employee situation. We got Jeng managing his heart, yes, but also DEALING ACTIVELY with being PROFESSIONAL as well, and recognizing that he has to STEP AWAY from his role as Pat's superior. GOOD, JENG.

We have Pat still Pat-ing. Pat's like, I'm not gonna date my boss, but also, he liiiikkkeess meeee? He's too good for meeeeeee! PAT, jesus. Thank you, Jen, for working on dusting off our guy. (@lurkingshan, I was literally JUST writing this, lol.)

But also, thank gawd -- at least we have PAT SPEAKING UP and using his words. Like an adult. (?!) And -- being EMPOWERED to USE his words by his WONDERFULLY COMMUNICATIVE PARENTS! So, now we see that Pat, while raised in a sad environment with the separation of his parents, is actually attuned to..... talking and using his words regarding his emotions! We know and see that he can do it -- because his parents can do it, and therefore modeled that behavior for him. (Amarin Nitibhon, great dad in 10 Years Ticket, great dad in Step By Step, keep being a great dad!)

But Pat's still gotta keep Pat-ing, and he's still confused, and... what? He's surrounded by snacks and might need the further reflection of another older adult in Jeng to get deep in his feelings.

I don't know if my read is accurate on this. Is Pat the kind of person that NEEDS people around him to help him reveal his complicated feelings to himself? I think so. He's a young adult, kind of overwhelmed by everything going on, his sister dropped a baby in public (HE'S AN UNCLE NOWWWWWWW) --

Homeboy is GROWING UP. Step by step? Maybe the point of this show is that you don't grow up as well in this world, step by step, without leveraging your family and community around you as best as you can. I like that read, but I don't know if it's accurate yet.

I'm gonna leave the rest of the meta to the real SBS experts. Thank gawd the baby was born okay, but I'm gonna need an update. If Tee Bundit gives me breastfeeding in the next episode, I WILL give him flowers in Thailand, FOR REAL. Come awn. Don't stop at birth! It'll be a good excuse to show SOME body parts -- maybe not the ones we expect, though, ha.

And we get funsies with Pat and Jeng, finally, next week?! Let's motherfucking go.

EDITING TO ADD: Any moms out there watching SBS? I need fellow moms to laugh/cry/emote at all that childbirth stuff with.

10 QL People That I Want Carnally

I was tagged by @sunshinesanctuary

Thank you, bebe, this was fun! I know the original call is for 10, but I never saw a limit I didn't want to challenge. Whatever, whatever, I do what I want. So, in no particular order:

1. Inspector M - Manner of Death (Great Sapol)

Look at him. LOOK. AT. HIM. Absolutely adorable and also hot as hell. He can slap those cuffs on me any time he pleases. If he stands still long enough I will most definitely climb him like a tree (and that goes double for Great himself tbh).

2. Jang Jaeyoung - Semantic Error (Park Seoham)

Yeah, yeah, he's cocky and a bit of a slacker, but he is also smart, talented, and let's be real, a grade A simp. Don't get me started on that lip piercing...

3. Choi Jun - Jun & Jun (Ki Hyun Woo)

Like, they gave me this man's bare back within the first 30 seconds of the first episode, was I not supposed to get thirsty?

4. Yi Phayak Chatdecha Chen - Naughty Babe (Max Kornthas)

Ah, Hia Yi. Wealthy, handsome, super overprotective of his beloved. Bit of a control freak but not ashamed of giving up control in the bedroom. Love that for him (me).

5. Phaya - The Sign (Billy Patchanon)

Look, I am a simple woman. I just want him to put his hand around my throat, pin me, and call me a good girl. I don't think that's asking for too much.

6. Patts - La Pluie (Pee Peerawich)

My beloved. He was just so good, you know? He has a good job and loves animals. He dresses nicely and charms the parents. And then a total lover in between the sheets. Let the rain come down.

7. Payu - Love In The Air (Boss Chaikamon)

I'm pretty sure this man was singularly responsible for the meltdown of several of my brain cells. His looks, his demeanor, his dominance, his *gestures vaguely* everything, you know?

8. Jeng Kittiphong - Step By Step (Man Trisanu)

I know for a fact that I was not the only one who had their brain short circuit during this scene. I am willing to hold a towel for him and even help him wipe down after working out. I am also willing to work him out (wink wonk).

9. Fighter - Why R U (Zee Pruk)

Oh my god but he was so cute. The hot guy everybody wanted who had no idea how to act when he had a crush on a pretty boy. You just KNOW he kisses like an absolute dream. Also, when he was crying during the breakup scene I was ready to fly to Thailand and start throwing hands, I don't even care.

10. Bai Zongyi - Kiseki: Dear To Me (Taro Lin)

My guilty pleasure entry. Yes, I know he's a young'un and I should be ashamed but he has those giant yaoi paws (that scene where he is holding both of Zherui's hands with just one of his absolutely makes my teeth sweat) and obviously likes manhandling his crush/lover at any given opportunity. Plus he is a professional baker? Sign me UP.

11. Pisaeng- Be My Favorite (Gawin Caskey)

This is a guy who will cherish you with everything he has and will be a romantic sap about it. (I knew Gawin would be on this list, I just had to determine which role I chose...honestly he could have been on here multiple times)

12. Maya - Laws of Attraction (Silvy Pavida)

She can sing, she can dance, she can be a double agent performing espionage, and she is sooooooo hot it almost hurts to look at her. All I am saying is she can step on me and I will thank her profusely.

13. Neur - Cutie Pie (Tutor Koraphat)

This man showed up fully intending to Cause Problems On Purpose and ended up simping for the quiet, shy, devout member of the friend group he inserted himself into, and we were all of us better for it. Satu. 🙏

14. Babe - Pit Babe (Pavel Phoom)

He's the top (ha!) racer, an alpha, and also 100% babygirl. One smirk from him and I am on my knees. Don't worry about me, though, I'm doing just fine. (I will say that I never thought I would see omegaverse on my screen and yet here we are in this year of our lord)

15. Vegas Theerapanyakul - KinnPorsche (Bible Wichapas)

My problematic meow meow. He's a gangster. He's a killer. He's a sadist into whips, chains, and torture, not necessarily in that order. He's got a bit of a case of little brother syndrome. And I adore him, faults and all.

Aaaaannnddd okay! So, I could likely absolutely keep going, but I think I am going to tap out while I still have at least some dignity left after exposing myself as the thirsty bitch that I am. I've lost track of who all has already done this, so I am not tagging anyone in particular. If you decide to do this, tag me and let me know so we can thirst together!

A Boss and a Babe Ep 10 Stray Thoughts

Last week we experienced probably our choppiest episode yet. It’s a real bummer, because I continue to root for New Siwaj, but the final act conflicts always cause confusion. Gun and Cher were outed at work, but that was quickly squashed by Gun’s mom. Cher found out that another colleague had planted the evidence about Thyme stealing the game and decided to take the fall for it to protect her job…for reasons that just don’t track for me. Gun and Cher broke up as a result and both were very sad about it. Gun got drunk at a bar and so the bar called Cher who was his most active contact, and the two were able to reconcile for the second time in the episode. Now, Thoop has been arrested. At the very least, we had a Gay Boy Cuddle Pile.

Trigger Warning: rape mention and a rapist showing up on screen, along with mention and discussion of suicide in part [3/4]

Thoop, are you really mad that the police didn’t believe you? Where’s the shut the fuck up video?

Real shit, it is sometimes useful to have a Super Gay like Gun in your queer circle for when we have problems that only money can solve. Sometimes folks like Gun can keep a program running quietly for years.

I completely get Tub and Jack. Three and Zo would get tiresome after a while.

The gamer boys care a lot about each other, and are careful about how they talk to each other. It’s refreshing.

I do still love Gun. This man understands commitment and showing up when it’s important.

Gun pulled out his stern voice when Cher pushed too far with the old jokes. Surprisingly funny to see Cher retreat.

So if Gun has known about Cher taking the blame all this time, what the hell was most of the last episode for? I hate when they do all this testing nonsense and then waive it off.

I like that these two have good apologies. I just hope that we don’t immediately contrive another conflict five minutes from now.

I feel like this one guy plays a cop in every GMMTV show.

I knew this was going to eventually be the reveal about what happened to Tian, but it’s still upsetting and gross.

Gun is solid. Maybe I’m being influenced by how much I’m enjoying Jeng on Step by Step, but I do like having characters who can manage a crisis and don’t overreact to someone’s emotional outbursts at them.

Jack is correct. Thoop being arrested for possession is a big deal.

And of course someone saw them sitting outside of a police station all night. Now the mom is demanding they break up AGAIN.

Was one of them watching Star in My Mind before Cher showed up to tell them the news? Joong is paused on YouTube in the background.

I enjoy the parallel from earlier with Cher showing up at Gun’s place this time.

Oh hell yeah! It’s 2023 and we all verse now!

There’s a lot of threads active in this show. I don’t necessarily dislike them, but the timing isn’t really satisfying. I also feel like the mole plot was kind of a letdown.

[dekaydk]

Step By Step: Jeng isn't all bad as a manager

Watched Eps 1-3 so minor spoilers and I don't know what's coming.

This show has a surprising amount of actual office politics, and presented in a decently entertaining way (whereas this could have been incredibly dry). After 3 episodes, not seeing Jeng as quite as bad a micromanager as the script says. He's definitely got issues, and if I were his colleague or manager I would be coaching him.

I get that the script says that Jeng is micromanaging, but as someone who managed teams at places with INCREDIBLY and CORRECTLY high standards, his requests for fixes (and his actual fixes) to the slides were not wrong. Even if Pat thought so. The reviews with execs show that Jian has high standards, even for internal meetings. Meetings in places with high standards can easily go sideways when someone sees materials with lesser quality messaging or graphics, because they start wondering: if they didn't bother to make the material polished, did they not put good effort into the fundamental analysis/messaging/recommendations?

However, Jeng totally overdid it on the "you shouldn't have shown that file in the meeting without clearing it with me" given that the outcome was good. He could have said "hey, you got it this time but I can see how it might not have gone so well and here's what I would like to see happen in the future". Bottom line seems to be "don't blindside your boss." Jeng was too forceful here: instead of it being a growing opportunity for Pat, it was a correction and seemed more about Jeng.

Further, Jeng's last-minute reveal of his own slide edits right before the meeting blindsided Pat. He should have emailed Pat to let him know he'd done it, and EXPLAINED what he'd done and why. "Don't blindside" cuts both ways.

And the script is a little unclear about Jeng's micromanaging of others at Jian. Some of those folks clearly needed some damn micromanaging, if not referrals to HR. (!) The department has culture issues and this is a bigger picture issue. The old "my dysfunctional culture will defeat your most brilliant ideas and processes" comes into play here.

But the restaurant micromanaging bit: yeah, his co-owner tells him to lighten up, so that's also undeniable.

I like Jeng saying at the end of Ep 3 that he wants to improve himself as a manager. Wonder if this is what his father was getting at in their office conversation. (Or maybe his father's just a controlling jerk with few redeeming qualities; future episodes will no doubt explain.)

[queeraroace]

Upon rewatching, I think part of Pat's extreme reaction (other than him being drunk) is possibly him being embarrassed, thinking he was making a drunken fool of himself so much in front of someone he could ACTUALLY have been pursuing.

Like yeah, Jeng confessed his feelings, but Pat is probably so blackout drunk, he was putting 100% of his effort into not throwing up on his crush's shoes.

And Pat is smacked with the realization that his boss/friend/crush may have been trying to court him the entire time he's been getting hammered and mourning his ex.

Like. I'd be pretty horrified if I realized my "straight" crush had seen me get sick and sob over a break up on what could now obviously be called our first date.

jeng: pat. i know that you're at a difficult point in your life and i apologize for not doing this at a better time. but i cannot wait. i want to cherish you and take care of you, even if we might never be in a relationship. everything i've done over the past few months has been for you, i hope i haven't been too forward, i couldn't help myself, i just wanted to be near you and spoil you, whenever i look at you i feel true happiness the likes of which i have never felt. i love you, most ardently.

pat: holy shit you're GAY???

TURKISH NICKNAMES FOR GIRLS

Cute Turkish Nicknames for Girls

The nicknaming stuff has recently been widely used by the girls in Turkey as well. However, the nicknames specific to the girls are unfortunately limited. This is because Turkish ladies are not as harsh to each other as Turkish men do.

Boss oh boss

Aku ni ada masalah kalau dtg inspirasi aku nak menulis,aku kena menulis jugak.

So now ada something berlaku yg buat aku rasa nak menulis.About my boss.

Well,aku join this small company bulan September tahun lepas.Its a very small setup.My boss and his wife (lady boss),aku and ada seorang clerk.

And service line kami ni tak perlu big setup sbb small setup pun boleh survive janji client ada.And yeah,aku memang happy kerja sini..boss & lady boss baik sgt..belanja makan selalu,working hours flexible..kalau kau lambat relax je..ye la small setup kan.

Tapiiii......

Sebenarnya boss aku amalkan poligami..jeng jeng jeng..and lady boss tu ialah his 2nd wife..diorang kahwin in year 2014 kalau tak silap....boss aku ni dalam 40an while lady boss tu beza dgn aku 2-3 tahun je..so dia dlm awal 30s

Aku memang tak ambil port sgt psl private life diorang tapi aku ni suka memerhati and i learn from i see.

So apa yg aku nampak poligami ni tak mudah.In fact sgt2 memenatkan sampai aku and clerk aku selalu ckp boss kitaorg ni boleh pendek umur sbb life dia always on the road..kejap balik rumah bini pertama kejap rumah lady boss aku..termengah mengah kitaorg tgk selalu

Dgn bini pertama,anak-anak boss aku besar dah.Dgn lady boss aku ada anak sorang dlm umur 3 tahun.Mmg penat ada budak kecik.Aku selalu dgr boss aku merungut anak dia selalu kacau dia and suka bangun malam sampai boss aku sendiri mengaku umur 40an mcm dia kalau tak cukup tidur...habislah!hahhaha

Lady boss aku ni jenis byk beralah and tak pernah nak claim mcm2 sbb dia tau dia kacau rumah tangga org..dia pernah tunang dengan duda tapi duda tu panas baran..so dia give up and then terjumpa boss aku ni..pastu kahwin la mereka even bini pertama mengamuk sakan

Apa yg aku nak ckp berdasarkan pemerhatian aku is...

Boss aku ni bagus agama dia...solat tak tinggal..dgn lady boss selalu kiss2 pipi just to show he appreciates her..selalu ikut je apa lady boss aku nak...even kalau kitaorg kuar makan pun dia yang akan suruh kitaorg pergi solat dulu..kikiki..aku selalu nampak boss aku solat sunat and tadi for the first time aku dgr dia mengaji..tiba2 aku mcm kesian pulak dkt dia and confuse dgn percaturan Tuhan.

To be honest,kita sbg perempuan mesti nak lelaki yg boleh bimbing kita ke Syurga..solat mengaji semua cukup..serious zaman sekarang lelaki tak solat mmg bersepah..sebab tu kalau laki tu alim mmg perempuan sure akan nak!

I guess thats what happened to my lady boss..dia cantik org nya and im sure dia boleh dpt lelaki bujang lagi baik dari boss aku..siapa lah nak hidup bermadu weyhh..tapi sebab tak jumpa dah kot and dia maybe trauma putus tunang ...tu dia sanggup jadi bini kedua..

So now aku confuse..

Kalau kita nak lelaki beriman mcm boss aku..nanti ada tendecy dpt madu..sbb perempuan kat luar nampak laki alim je mula nak menyondol

Kalau dpt yg tak solat merana weyh..habis rumah tangga

So faham tak mmg susah jadi perempuan ni.

Tapi,ada sesuatu happened in my past yg buat aku belajar lelaki alim tak semestinya baik.And buat aku sedar tak kita tak perlu lelaki yg alim to guide us..kita yg kena berubah lebih baik dulu..

So aku dah taknak aim for lelaki yg too alim sbb aku tgk lelaki alim ni ada tendency nak poligami sbb sunnah katanya.Benda lain sunnah taknak ikut.pui.

Sebab tu bila aku kenal tunang aku sekarang ni,aku tgk agama dia mungkin tak capai tahap mcm aku harapkan..tapi aku tahu setiap manusia boleh berubah..and aku tgk lama2 dia cukup solat makin berubah ke lebih baik...mungkin nanti dia akan rajin buat solat sunat puasa sunat and all..aku akan selalu doakan dia.

Aku rasa itu yg lagi penting

Cari yang biasa-biasa je and jadi lebih baik.Both of us.

**********************************************

*sorry panjang sgt.Aku nak ckp dgn org tapi takde sape nak ckp dgn aku sekarang.So i need to write it out.

Spending a Saturday with your boss, huh? Step By Step, episode 6, thoughts: 

I literally jumped into this show last week, binged it hot and fast to join the protest against fandoms demanding censorship of ZeeNunew commentary (fans. demanding. censorship.) (instead of bothering to understand satire) (okay, sure) (I urge these dear fans to go back to school and learn comparative media comprehension) (read Nietzsche and Voltaire) (god forbid we were to use our brains to enjoy these shows instead of just our hormones) (yeah, I said it) (oh, I’m still mad).

Anyway. I didn’t plan on taking this show on, but I am THOROUGHLY enjoying where it’s going, at least as of this episode. 

I’m a kill-your-darlings kind of person, and I wish the editing of the first five episodes of this show were tighter. I’ve been okay with the long episodes -- but at least for this latest episode, most of the length was spent building out Pat and his life himself, as opposed to the investment of his world and the side stories (no Ae in this latest episode).

In regards to this focus on Pat: I like how honest Pat is. As Jeng comments on Pat needing to control his emotions, there are benefits to being so honest as well, right? Pat’s honesty gets him out of the MLM thing with Kong (what the fuck, lol). Pat’s honesty went straight to Put regarding their past (PUT, THAT PUTZ, LEAVE MY PAT ALONE), to the point that Pat APOLOGIZED for his honesty.

And -- what I REALLY liked about this episode is that JENG NOTICED PAT’S HONESTY, and encouraged it, and is encouraging it.

So this whole storyline about addressing one’s weaknesses, and working on changing them? Behavioral change, m’fers -- literally the hardest thing for us humans to do. 

When I went back to grad school to enter the social services, the behavioral change chart was probably my favorite thing to learn. The five stages of change are: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Each one is a step that a therapist will work with a client on to determine readiness -- say, you’re quitting smoking, or starting a diet, or starting to exercise. These are the stages that you’d go through to make that change of action possible.

What I like about what Step By Step is doing is demonstrating that this kind of real, deep, in-your-bones change can’t happen just by yourself, and can’t happen in a vacuum. Behavioral change happens in the context of everything else, and everyONE else, going on in one’s life. You have to learn to navigate that, balance it out, live with it -- and I’m seeing, now, what the long episodes meant, to set that up for us, so that we can get a TRULY deep understanding of who Pat is.

And all in the meantime, we’re also seeing Jeng’s story, Jeng slowly letting his guard down, melting a bit for Pat, and learning how to engage with Pat more intimately to, yes, get closer to Pat -- but also for Jeng himself to learn how to be more empathetic. For Jeng to learn how to change himself, as well. 

I loved that Saturday date. They’re so awkward! But I love that awkwardness. (And, I love love love the authenticity of Pat, as he’s NOT awkward with Ae, Chot, Jaab, and his other homies, and I love that the show shows that for us.)

Pat and Jeng are learning about each other, THROUGH their boundaries as boss-employee, and DESPITE those boundaries. Pat’s gonna move slow, we now know, because he got so burned by Putz in the past. And Pat probably doesn’t have a single idea of what to do when your boss is putting the moves on you -- which is okay, and we’ll get to see Pat learn about himself through it, step by step, which is.... the point of the show, ha.

Speaking of the moves, my man, Pat -- as @bengiyo noted in his stray thoughts, I LOVE THAT PAT HAS A FAN CLUB. Hell yeah. THAT’S REAL! Dudes hitting you up, Pat? You’re cute! I love that. 

AND, AND: I LOVE THAT PAT’S NOT RUNNING AWAY FROM IT. HE PRIMPED FOR KONG! He looked DAMN good for Putz. FUCK YEAH, dude! Show up and hit the streets! You’re wanted. 

Um? @shortpplfedup, you’re right. This is an adult show, by adults, and even for adults. This is an adult deal that Pat has on his plate. He’s not a loner, not by any means, and I LOVE that that’s a reality that’s depicted for Pat’s life as a young, out, queer man. Own that shit, dude. 

And I love that we will hopefully see more behavioral change in the next episode -- as Pat seems to get critiqued at work, and needs to figure out how to process it, with Jeng at his side, continuing to help Pat through his changes. 

I remain just the slightest bit suspicious of the continued long lengths of the episodes, but I’m invested in this show. I’m in another rewind situation, as I haven’t seen TharnType or Lovely Writer yet, so this is my first go-around with Tee Bundit. I’ll likely understand more of what I’m watching when I get to those two past shows, eventually. But for now, I’m liking the risks that Tee is taking, and I’m willing to swallow my criticism for sharper editing to see how Jeng and Pat develop. I like this depth, even despite the time it’s taking.
