BBS: Deconstructing the Entire Series (Part 5 of 13)
Welcome to my deep dive into each episode where I break down character motives, P’Aof’s delivery, and general musings of all things BBS. Basically, a scene-by-scene recap with commentary from me, your friendly neighborhood commentator. If you missed the previous installments of this post series, you’re welcome to check them out:
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
Recapping the recap: We left EP4 with Pat and Pran further blurring the lines between the boy I can’t stay away from and the one I can’t get out of my mind to nothing good ever happens when you’re near, but also, don’t go too far. Their frenemy status is put to question when a mutual blast from the past resurfaces forcing the boys to confront their growing feelings. During an impromptu sleepover, Pat unknowingly breaks Pran’s heart by revealing that he likes Ink. We end the episode with Pran crying into his pillow while unable to stop himself from adoring a sleeping Pat.
Episode Five: Seeing the Light, Lyrics to a Song, and a Confession (or AKA “Why? Do you want us to be friends?”)
Pat’s doppelganger says he’s heard and seen too much. He’s requesting witness protection.
The episode opens with Pat waking up from the smell of food cooking. He really is an adorable golden retriever who’s led by his nose. In his sleep haze, he makes the connection that something must be on fire because this is a foreign smell to him. Pat, you’ve really neglected the kitchen in that dorm of yours, huh? How have you survived this long? Have you been subsisting on the noodle truck all this time? Is that how you built such a great rapport with Uncle Noodle? By essentially eating your way to funding his mortgage?
It’s the morning after and we're still in Pran’s dorm. We are impatient for the show to reveal Pran, curious as to his state of mind from the events of the night before. How will he act now in the morning light to Pat's confession of liking Ink? We know he's harboring a wounded heart, but Pat is still frustratingly oblivious about the entire thing. Ever the stoic, Pran is a picture of calm and unperturbed as he sarcastically responds to Pat’s exclaim of fire! with yeah, at your house maybe. And Pat answers with if my house catches on fire, it will spread to yours, genius. How curious- Pat is pointing out that whatever happens to him, happens to them, that they’re in this together. As they’ve always been. Call it the red string of destiny or entwined fate, but his life’s raft is bouyed to Pran’s for better or worse. How very Jack and Rose of them minus the sinking ship and all the dying, of course.
The boys banter over Pran’s homemade breakfast, Pat angling for some of it. Pran swats his poaching hands away and asks are you my wife? Why should I make your breakfast? Make your own. When Pran turns his back, Pat swipes his toast and messily shoves it into his mouth. Pran puts on a front that he’s pissed but we know he’s internally reveling at the sight of bedhead Pat. Early-riser Pran must have taken in his fill of a snoozing Pat this morning, why oh why show, did you deprive us of seeing this on screen?
Checking his watch, Pran notes that it’s time for him to head to campus. But first he has a pesky dorm guest he needs to kick out. Pat instead negotiates waiting at Pran’s for Pa to bring him the spare key to his place. Much to our amusement, Pat attempts to win Pran over with his aegyo. Pran asks him who in the world told him this was cute and Pat calls him out by saying your face is telling me right now. This be facts yo. After bargaining that Pat will clean up the mess from breakfast, Pran begrudgingly agrees to let him stay but not before chin-booping Pat. YAASS Pran! I know you’re all with me in asking: is this the same Pran from the night before?
“I’m a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my spout.” I can’t be the only one hearing this, right?
The chin boop? How far you’ve come. And now allowing Pat to stay in your room unsupervised? We hope you don’t have anything lying around that shouldn’t be privy to Pat’s eyes. But also, this entire morning was so achingly wholesome that we yearn for our boys to wake up to this, and to each other, for the rest of their lives. How do we make this happen, gang? Let’s put our hearts and minds together and will it so.
Sometime later, Pat holds up his end of the deal with a spotless kitchen. So, hold on, you’re telling me that this golden retriever can be trained? Pat sits himself at Pran’s desk and flips through an open notebook. Oooh is this the sketchbook that Pran often doodles in? What are we gonna find, Mr. Pat? We should feel secondhand embarrassment for Pran, but we’re all squeeing at the possibilities instead.
His snooping is interrupted by his phone trilling. It’s Pran and immediately Pat goes I didn’t do it, I didn’t touch your stuff. Hahaha. Pran says he can sense the guilt through the phone. I can’t with these two. Pran is calling to see if Pat can deliver a file on his computer to him at the architecture building. Pat says sure and is eager for the task. Recall that Pat’s love language is acts of service and this time Pran is the one asking instead of declining. So, of course puppy Pat is clamoring to do Pran this favor. Pat asks for the password to access his computer and we can visibly feel Pran freeze.. ah, crap his password isn’t something Pat-related, is it? We’re still high on the dumpling sketches that this new bit of information is taking us for a spin.
Pran covers his face in embarrassment and spells out his password as Pat types it in. It turns out his password is PranSoCool, after a popular Thai rock band from the early-aughts to mid-2010s per wikipedia. I’m imagining Pran thinking himself as an honorary member of his favorite boy band a la the sixth member of N’Sync or BSB. Hahaha, how mortifying to reveal this to your longtime crush, but also because it’s Pran- totally adorable. C’mon Pran it’s not that bad. It could have been PranLovesPat or Pran-the-Unruly after you gave Pat so much snark for his chat ID. What’s even more telling is Pat doesn’t actually tease Pran all that much about it, I bet he finds it as adorable as we do. It’s a small peek at Pran’s quirks that he doesn’t let just anyone see. He tells Pat to make sure to keep a low profile when delivering the usb so no one, mainly his friends, spots him loitering around the architect building.
While in Pran’s computer, Pat finds photos from their high school days including those from the Christmas concert they performed together. Our boys are both sentimental fools. Pran, for hanging onto these pictures all these years. Imagine how often he looked through them during his three-year separation from Pat? This tokened evidence of the boy he loves frozen in time. And Pat, for smiling so warmly while looking through the photos, basking in the nostalgia of a time long ago. There’s a sense of longing for the Pran of years past underscoring Pat’s efforts of getting back a version of that Pran now in the present. A harder, more cynical Pran, but still him nonetheless. You’re fighting a worthwhile fight, Pat. You haven’t quite worked out the reason why you’re putting so much effort in having (and keeping) Pran in your life but you will soon.
We cut to Pat meandering through the halls of the architecture building, not heeding Pran’s warning of staying out of sight, because he catches the peripheral of Wai, the nose-flaring bull-weasel. Note that Pat is still wearing Pran’s friend/unfriend shirt from the night before but now he’s also sporting jeans. We know he didn’t show up at Pran’s in jeans last night (he was still wearing his rugby uniform) and assuming Pa hasn’t yet shown up with the spare key since Pran called shortly after Pat finished cleaning the kitchen, did Pat raid Pran’s closet for a pair of jeans, y’all? This is what I’m sherlocking and I’m planting my flag in it.
Before Wai and co. can corner Pat, he’s dragged away by someone. It’s Pran and he’s got Pat in a headlock, something we never thought we’d get to see because it’s always the reverse with them, again, how far you’ve come Pran to be so handsy now. He scolds Pat for being so careless that he was almost caught by his friends then notices that Pat is still wearing his borrowed shirt, and out in public. What if his friends saw and put two-and-two together? Pat says it’s not a big deal re-wearing clothes, especially when it smells as good as Pran. He proves it by grabbing Pran and sniffing him. The boy can’t get enough. Pran puts up a token effort of pushing Pat away, but c’mon bro, we see you – are you even trying? They’re then interrupted by Ink who teases them that for two guys who aren’t supposed to know each other, they’re awfully chummy. Girl, we agree but also way to time your entrance, you couldn’t give them another minute or ten?
Pran, flustered, leaves Pat holding the bag and runs away, ha. Ink zeros in on Pat teasing that she senses a lovey-dovey aura in the air which Pat tries to deny, but Ink argues that they’re being so obvious. Girl, PREACH. In the midst of Ink’s prying and Pat’s dodging, Pran returns and holds out his hand for his forgotten thumb drive. As Pat fumbles in his pocket for it, Ink gives Pran this hilariously probing look that makes an already flustered Pran even more so. If Bad Buddy were an anime (please, someone make BBS into an anime!), this is the moment where Pran’s face becomes tomato-red. I love her so much.
With a weak parting shot telling Pat to mind his own business next time, Pran again scampers away. Pat turns the table on Ink asking what she’s doing at the architecture faculty and implies she’s there to meet a guy, but Ink tells him to quit changing the subject. They tease each other some more as friends often do. We then see Pran watching them from afar and we’re reminded yet again that this isn’t something new for him, watching Pat and Ink interact from the sidelines only this time he’s armed with the knowledge that Pat has feelings for Ink. Ugh. He shakes his head at himself as though to knock some sense into that overthinking head of his and walks away.
It’s nighttime and we’re at the food truck, Pat must have a standing appointment with Uncle Noodle. He asks Ink how she’d like her noodles and she says with three wontons and Pat chuckles that he didn’t think there was anyone who also ordered their noodles this way. Ink asks who else does and Pat gets this faraway look in his eyes and tells Ink it’s a secret. Aww. You miss him. It’s been a whole how many hours since you last saw him. Has the scent on his shirt worn off and you need another sniff of the actual person?
Food truck uncle conspiratorially asks if Ink is Pat’s girlfriend and Pat smiles and suavely responds that he’s working on it. Ohhkaay, Mr. Smooth Operator. You were thinking of another boy not two seconds earlier but okay we believe you.
It’s sometime later and we’re in Pat’s dorm, Pa is visiting with his laundry and the two powwow over whether Ink reciprocates his feelings and if he should make a move. Pa says out loud what we’re all thinking that Pat is smart about everything else BUT THIS and instructs Pat to ask Ink out on a date. Pa says there’s a surefire way of knowing if Ink returns his feelings and outlines her four signs that someone is into you.
Cut to the mall with Ink and Pat inside a dessert pancake shop. Pa joins them and nudges Pat to employ the first sign: physical touch. Per love guru Pa, a reaction to physical touch reveals how a person feels about you. Fork-in-hand, Pat reaches for the same pancake at the same time as Ink so that their hands bump, but womp womp there’s nothing on Ink’s end as she continues eating as if nothing happened. Onto sign two: eye contact.
Pat is truly horrendous at this as he makes eyes at Ink complete with a mood-setting neighing horse in the background. He stares at her intently but with each passing second it becomes more and more hilariously awkward. Ink questions if there’s something on her face – why else would Pat be staring at her like that and takes out her phone camera to check. The siblings whisper that sign numero dos is even worse than the first one, ha!
Enter Pa with the assist on sign three: someone who is interested in you would want to know if you’re taken. She says that she heard her big bro is a hot shot on campus and asks Ink if that’s true. Ink, once again, bursts Pat’s ego by saying she wouldn’t know implying she never paid attention. Hahaha. Poor Pat. Ink seems more interested in tasting all the sweets than she is on what Pat and Pa are serving as if we couldn’t stan this girl any more than we already do!
Pat is saved by his phone ringing. It’s the music store saying his order is available for pick up. Ready to leave this pride damaging non-date, Pat takes advantage of the excuse and escapes.
In the music shop, while waiting for the store employee to find his order, Pat reaches for a hanging guitar when another hand reaches for it at the same time and their hands inadvertently touch. It’s Pran! They both stare at each other dumbfounded. Pat realizes he still hasn’t let go of Pran’s hand and quickly does so. Pat asks Pran what he’s doing there and Pran answers defensively with why can’t he be there? Is this music shop solely for Pat?
The shop employee hands Pat his drumsticks and rather than book it out of the store and back to Ink, he instead lingers and watches Pran admiring the displayed guitars. We don’t blame you Pat, it’s our favorite way to pass the time too, watching Pran do just about anything.
Pran catches him staring because of course he does. Pran always catches him because Pran himself is very much aware of Pat’s proximity. Pran receives a phone call to which Pat can’t help but eavesdrop. I suspect that it’s a call from Waisel and after he hangs up Pat comments on Pran’s good mood and tries to ask nonchalantly if that was Pran’s date calling, I say nonchalantly but Pat couldn’t be more obvious if he were wearing a flashing neon sign that broadcasted how badly he wants to know Pran’s answer. Pran doesn’t give him the satisfaction and simply responds with his usual: none of your business.
Then something amazing happens. We see the exact moment when all of Pa’s counseling and love signs reveal themselves to Pat in one fell swoop. The physical touch of both their hands on the guitar. The eye contact where Pat is the first to look away. And then Pat asking about Pran’s date. It’s dawning on Pat that Pa’s love signs are applicable to him when he’s with Pran. OMG IT’S HAPPENING. MOOTS ASSEMBLE! This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill people. Sound the alarm. Alert the media. He’s finally figured it out!
To borrow from Mr. Darcy who put it so succinctly, Pat was in the middle before he realized that he had already begun.
He watches as Pran, almost forgetting his audience of one, blissfully touches a guitar with admiration. Time seems to slow down for Pat as he finds himself unable to take his eyes off of the boy standing in front of him. He’s asking himself if Pran has always been this cute beautiful stunning DISTRACTING. Has Pran always had this unique ability to encompass every single wonderful adjective in the Thai-version of Merriam-Webster’s dictionary by simply existing? Why is his heart beating so loud and fast, can Pran hear it? He swears Pran can hear it. His heart is pounding, threatening to leap out of his chest and onto the floor by Pran’s feet. Why does it bring him so much contentment to watch Pran admiring something he loves...a simple guitar? And why is his heart so excited to be near Pran? Oh Pat, you’ve got it bad. It’s like you’ve been half-asleep this entire time or breathing underwater and only now taking your first breath of fresh air and you’re realizing that the buzzing you feel in your veins means you’re ALIVE.
It’s a stunning display of emotions and Ohm NAILS IT. From realization to disbelief to confusion to panic. Ohm shows the full spectrum in a span of literal seconds. In his panic-stricken state, Pat tries to make an escape to wrap his head around what is happening to him, but there’s still the small matter of Pran blocking his exit. The two do an amusing dance of you go right, no I’m going left, when Pran finally gets fed up and asks if Pat is purposely trying to annoy him. And normally, Pat would take this moment to tease Pran with a cheeky maybe you’re the one trying to annoy me or perhaps even physically pick him up and move him aside, but he doesn’t and thus we learn about the fourth and final sign: someone who likes you can’t be themselves around you. Oh Pat, you’re so gone dude. RIP pre-realization Pat. You had a good run, my friend, but Pran owns you now.
Pat hightails it out of the music shop as if he’s being chased. Pran doesn’t know that Pat is going through an existential crisis and can only look after him in total confusion.
Pat makes his way out of the store and into the mall area, he’s lost and stumbling not knowing heads from tails. He stutters to a stop at a railing and texts Pa that he’s taking off. He shakes his head and wonders what has gotten into him.
I know Pat is going through a life-changing moment here, but I have to say this look is FIRE on him. Something about the complementary colors and the halfway rolled-up sleeves that highlights his bicep is really doing it for me. That, and the sexy awakening of feelings = HOT.
Back at Pran’s dorm, he decides to snack on some toast. He takes out the bread and reaches for the rose condense milk only to find a note attached to it. It’s in Pat’s messy handwriting and reads I’ll buy you a new one. Aww. Pran smiles at the note and oh, this is the sweetest and softest thing ever. Pran munches on a piece of plain bread, not needing the sweet condiment after all, since Pat’s note is sweet enough by itself.
He begins to draw the bottle of milk and the attached note in his sketchbook. We’re then shown a flashback of earlier in the mall when Pran happens on Pat and Ink in the pancake shop. Where without chaperone Pa, they look like they’re on a date. Oh no. Just when Pran allows himself this small moment of relishing something sweet that Pat has done for him. Damn you, show, why are you so adept at both giveth and taketh away. Pran proceeds to cross out his doodle and adorably munches on his bread lost in thought.
I love that Ink is on the other side of the camera here. You go on and make love to that camera, girl.
It’s the next day and in between classes, Pat seeks advice from Korn of all people by asking who do you think can make our hearts beat faster? To which Korn ridiculously responds a ghost! Hahaha. Pat shakes his head as if to say why do I even bother. But Korn regains composure and says he’s joking, and states isn’t it obvious? Our hearts beat faster when we’re with someone we like. To which Pat reasons that maybe our heart speeds up from excitement? And Korn says that could be true, but how you can really tell is if you’re jealous then you like that person for sure. Okay someone must have swapped my usual for decaf because crazy Korn is actually making some sense here? Pat seems to agree and decides to test out the theory.
He shows up at Pran’s and asks if he can come in. Okay, now we know something is really going on and Pran has to be picking up on it too, right? Because under normal circumstances, Pat would just barge in, not politely ask permission first. Pat explains he’s there for the earbuds he lent to him. That’s so weak, my dude, did you come up with that on the walk over?
Pat enters Pran’s room and starts asking him question after question. Has he eaten yet? Yes. What’s he working on? His song. Why isn’t he in class? Don’t have any today. Whoa there, Pat, do we need to get you a notepad to write down Pran’s answers? Are you being quizzed later?
He walks over to Pran’s desk and starts checking out the photos tacked on the wall. He peers at one of Pran posed with a girl and recalls Korn’s words about being jealous and determines that he’s not feeling it. Right when he’s about to ask Pran another question, Pran’s phone rings and it’s Wai. He tells Pat to be quiet as he answers.
Pat listens in on their conversation and learns that Wai has been invited to Pran’s home for dinner on numerous occasions, that Wai and Pran’s mom get along very well, enough so that Dissaya asks after Wai from time to time. The two make plans for Wai to come have dinner with Pran’s family on Saturday. While listening to all this, Pat’s face grows poutier and poutier by the second. His leg starts tapping impatiently. He decides he can’t take being neglected another second, not for Wai of all people, and starts making noises to get Pran off the phone.
After Pran hangs up, Pat comments that the two of them seem close. Pran says of course, they’re friends. Pat asks if Wai is coming over to Pran’s house and comments that his mom hates having people over. Aww, Pat. Pran confirms what Pat already figured out that Pran’s mom loves Wai and Wai is always complimenting her cooking.
Pat then takes a different approach and asks if Wai has ever spent the night at Pran’s dorm? Pran quickly says no and we can see Pat visibly sighing in relief that he at least beats Wai in this one thing. Only for Pran to take it back and say actually, Wai has, and not only that but he slept in the same spot that Pat did**. Pat doesn’t take this news well and demands why Pran didn’t tell him and then leaves in a huff. Pran is left wondering what the hell has gotten into Pat lately and why he’s been so weird. He even left behind the earbuds that was his pretense purpose of even coming over. Pat says they’re yours and lets himself out of the dorm leaving behind a bewildered Pran.
**We’re betting Pran didn’t watch Wai sleep with pure, unfiltered adoration even as his heart was breaking. That the one unknowingly responsible for breaking his heart is the very same boy who breathes life into him every day, spanning years and distance. You’ve got Wai beat in more areas than you know, Pat. With Pran, it’s not even a contest. You win every time. And we can’t wait for you to be certain of this fact, because it’s coming.
Cut to later in Pat’s dorm as he sits and contemplates all this new and confusing information. We’re then treated to a high school flashback of the two of them in the school’s quad working out what to perform for their Christmas concert. Pran says he wants to compose a song that conveys that sense of born to be together, growing up together and seeing each other every day, where nothing happens in the beginning but then without realizing it, their feelings...and here Pat finishes his thought for him by saying... their feelings change. And Pran does this blink, and you’ll miss it expression where he’s hopeful that Pat gets it, too. Oh, Pran. Just a little longer bud, he’s nearly there.
But idiot that Pat is laughs and says they change and become rivals, he says Pran is talking about their situation only we know that’s not what Pran was getting at, at all. Pat, you idiot. Pran even stutters out a huh? He was speaking his thoughts (and feelings) out loud, caught up in the moment. And our boy Pat is too dense to pick up on it. Ugh. And he’s sooo close too! He narrowly misses the forest for the trees by pointing out Pran means them, he’s talking about himself and Pat. Which yes, he is, but not as rivals you knucklehead.
I can’t decide if Ink is right – if high school Pat is hotter than university Pat? But I do think that four-years-later Pat leaves them all in the dust. Because adult Pat is DEVASTATING.
Pran then asks Pat if he’s ever had a secret crush on someone (I mean, hello? Pat, he’s literally spelling it out for you?) and at Pat’s confused laugh Pran explains that Pat seems to always end up with whoever he likes so he’s just curious if there was someone he ever secretly liked. Pat responds that he’s genuinely insecure and hesitant to approach the person he likes too. Pran jots down the word insecure and says he likes it. That feeling of not knowing if it’ll turn out good or bad. You’re afraid to feel more. You hesitate. You want to jump in but you’re afraid of getting your heart broken. You want to step back but at the same time you also want to seize the chance. Pat gives him a considering look then grabs his notebook and signs his name to it saying he’s taking partial credit for this idea, and lays claim that this is now THEIR SONG.
I know I said Pran’s bravest moment on the show was when he asked Ink if she liked Pat, but this flashback is another example of how courageous our Pran is, and it’s only by doing this recap that I’ve really paid attention to what he’s saying (and not saying) here. He’s literally telling Pat how he feels under the guise of songwriting and for all intents this is as close to Pran confessing his feelings for Pat to Pat as he’s ever gotten. And stupid Pat, completely mind-skates over it. But not three-year-older, uni Pat who is remembering this scene much differently now. But the million-dollar question for Pat is, does Pran still feel this way? Or has Pat’s realization come too late?
Pat is jostled out of his memories by Pa stopping by with dumplings to share. She surmises that Pat is depressed because the love signs didn’t work on Ink. She sees Pat’s current state and encourages him to push forward with Ink since he obviously likes her so much (does he though? What is it with you siblings and your knack for missing things entirely?) But credit to Pa for asking if there is someone else that Pat likes over Ink? Wishful thinking here, Pa? Hmm? But Pat just shakes his head and denies it. You know it’s SERIOUS FEELINGS if he can’t even discuss it with Pa.
Cut to the day of the music contest and we have Pran and the architects psyching themselves up for their performance. Pran apologizes for not finishing his song in time so that they now have to play one of his older songs. Uh oh, don’t tell us it’s Just Friends?! Pran, how could you?! There was no other song in the entire discography of Thai music that you could cover instead?
Pran and Pat run into each other turning in their song selections. It seems it’s been a minute since they’ve seen each other last, and this makes me sad. They’re so much better together than apart. And to imagine that they were both separately hurting and pining for the other across the hall all this time. More telling is they’re now acting differently towards each other. Gone is the fun banter and playful teasing. Pat, because of his realization doesn’t know how to act normally around Pran and Pran, because of his knowledge of Pat’s feelings for Ink, holds himself at even more of a distance than usual. Just look at that wide space between them. It’s an entire chasm.
Pat asks if Pran is ready for his performance and Pran inquires about Ink’s whereabouts. Pat asks him why he’s asking about Ink and Pran says because he wants to know. Pat responds with why does he want to know? Boys, just kiss each other already. I can’t take much more of this tension. Then Pran says because Ink should be here supporting Pat and AWW, PRAN. But before Pat can respond they’re interrupted by a weasel in the form of Wai. Pran leads Wai away as Pat watches on. His heart heavy that Pran’s attention is now elsewhere and no longer on him. Aww, he’s in the same room as him and still misses him so bad. We hate it here.
The architects are next to perform and Pran gets on the mic to introduce the song. Watch Pat’s expression carefully here as he’s reacting to several things happening at once. First, at Pran’s words at describing their relationship in high school. He calls Pat his friend whom he co-wrote this song with, not simply ‘a’ friend but ‘my’ friend, and yes, there’s a difference. Saying a friend could be anyone from high school, any former classmate, someone meaningless to Pran, but he qualifies it with MY friend instead, and we know the significance of this qualifier because Pran does not have many friends, not any whom he publicly makes claims on like this and definitely not while said boy is present. So, can we blame Pat’s face for reacting to Pran calling him his friend even if it’s past tense?
Secondly, Pran takes it another step further by looking directly at Pat and says he hopes everyone (Pat) likes it. Is he challenging Pat to read between the lines? To really LISTEN and HEAR the lyrics? This, right after Pat having remembered the flashback of them writing this song together however many days ago? Or is Pran challenging him in a different way here? Is he saying, you’ve made your choice with Ink and now this is me saying good-bye to my feelings for you. I have to let you go, for myself. So, I’ll say good-bye by singing this song we wrote together one last time. He then proceeds to do just that and sings it directly to Pat. And really it can go either way here and is left up to individual interpretation because this show is just THAT good.
Pat stands there listening to their song and it’s probably causing his insides to twist in sheer happiness but also confusion and doubt. But then Pran unknowingly hits Pat where it hurts by doing the solo guitar part with Wai and beaming as he does, something he used to do with Pat. Oh no. Then it all comes rushing to Pat. The disastrous music concert where Pran’s parents showed up, then Pran’s immediate transfer away from him, and he’s reminded quite cruelly of their family rivalry JUST as he was coming to terms with his feelings for Pran. And then seeing Pran so carefree up there on stage with Wai, who doesn’t come from a family that Pran’s mom hates. Who can blame Pat for feeling that Pran has so easily replaced him? That Pat is no longer orbiting the space next to Pran, the space that Pran used to carve out for him now being taken by someone else.
Overcome with emotion, Pat can’t take it anymore and leaves the concert. Pran notices from the stage and watches Pat leave. There is a hint of concern in his expression as he wonders if this song hit Pat just as much as it has himself.
I stand by my statement that Ink is Pat’s female-Korn only with less eyebrows.
Pat watches Pran and the architects as they wait to find out the outcome of the music contest. Ink finds him and great friend that she is asks him what’s going on with him. Pat beats around the bush and she teases him to just spit it out because it sounds like he’s working himself up towards a confession. He says what if he is? He explains that he’s liked her for so long ever since high school but was always too afraid to do anything about it because he didn’t want to lose her as a friend. She then asks him what about now? Why isn’t he afraid now? And he says he doesn’t know, maybe he’s grown up.
She smiles at him knowingly and tells him she doesn’t feel like his words are a confession, but more like he’s getting something off his chest. She teases that he’s being so obvious. Then points out how relieved he seems now that he’s done it. She says if it was a true confession, he would be more afraid of having his heart broken rather than relieved for getting it done and over with. He immediately apologizes to her, and she lightens his guilt by telling him even if it was a true confession, her answer would still be no. He asks her why and she says she has plenty of hot friends already, she doesn’t want to lose the one crappy friend she has and playfully nudges him. Oh, this girl, we shall erect a shrine in your likeness, our goddess.
She then says she can tell that Pat has something weighing on his mind and when he feels ready to share, she’s here to listen. I love that even though she senses what’s going on, she doesn’t push Pat to talk about it. She instead assures him that she’s there when he’s ready.
I love their friendship so much. I wish we all had a Pat and Ink in our lives. Someone who gives it to us straight but then always makes sure we know it comes from a place of love.
We find out the architects are crowned the winners of the Freshy music contest at the surprise of absolutely no one considering we didn’t get to hear any of the other bands actually perform, haha. Wai of course doesn’t hold back and gloats right in the engineers’ faces. Ugh. This is gonna get ugly, isn’t it?
That night, Pat and his crew show up at Wai’s bar where the architects are celebrating their victory. Why, Pat? Of all the bars you could have gone to did you choose to come here? Waisel, still high off of their win over the engineers, rubs it in by telling Pat and his crew to come on in and that he’s reserved a table for them far in the back in case they can’t handle the sound of their celebration. Ugh, what an asshole. Did the engineers gloat this much when they beat them in the rugby match?
And Pran is just standing there letting Wai go off and just waiting to see what Pat does. As if Pat is the one who needs to be reined in and not Wai?? And Pat sees Pran just standing there not saying anything, letting his boy run his mouth. He determines where Pran’s loyalty lies and the choice he’s made. And above the losing and gloating, this is the unexpected gut punch that lands on Pat. Man, just looking at Waisel’s face, if I was there and a foot taller, I’d sucker punch Wai so bad here. Don’t tell me he doesn’t deserve it. Quick, somebody get me a ladder.
I don’t know if it’s the angle here, but Ohm is like head and shoulders taller than everyone. And it even looks like he’s slouching. Damn Ohm, share some of that vertical wealth dude.
Pat, to everyone’s surprise, even Pran’s, does the unexpected and diffuses the situation by telling Korn and the gang that they’ll go somewhere else, that he’s had enough for today. He looks at Pran as he leaves and the unspoken tension between our boys could fill an entire novel (or this recap post, ha). Pat is saying I’m walking away because I don’t need you to see me lose my temper, but right now I am out of my mind jealous of you and this Wai character. I’m choosing to walk away from you because if I don’t this will escalate and the person it will hurt the most is you and I can’t have that. And Pran is looking on saying what has gotten into you lately? What is going on in that head of yours? Have you gone to a place that I can’t reach? That I can’t follow?
Later that night, Pat sits on the steps in front of their dorm building waiting for Pran to come home. He most likely already tried his dorm and his phone and didn’t get an answer. And rather than give Pran the opportunity to ignore his knocks and texts, he’s gonna sit right here and wait for Pran to show up. Pat is definitely not sober which leads us to believe that after leaving Wai’s bar, he got totally hammered to wipe the memory of Pran singing with Wai from his psyche. He chugs some water to sober himself up before seeing Pran. He checks Pran’s IG and sees a post of him and Wai drinking it up. Oh, don’t do this to yourself, Pat.
Pran rolls up on the back of Wai’s motorcycle. Oh God, this is the worst person to show up with right now. And Pran is not entirely sober himself. Pat sees them before they notice him and the slight shake of his head just says it all, great, of course you’re showing up with this guy. Choosing to ignore Wai completely, Pat gets up and gently tells Pran to come to him. To ignore Wai, it’s just them now, and to come to him. Wai does this gross faux flexing as if he’s gonna mess Pat up bad and Pat just shakes his head at him like back your ass on down SON, you don’t want a piece of me, not tonight. Consider this your warning. And I’m just over here like, daddy don’t warn him, just do eet, I want to see.
Pran appeases Wai and tells him he’ll just go see what Pat wants. And this is where Pran makes his first mistake. He puts up the same front that he always does when they have an audience and asks Pat what the hell do you want? Is it so hard to accept defeat? Only Pran doesn’t know that the rules of the game have changed on him. Pat is not here to be the counterpart to their public rivalry. And Pran’s display for Wai’s benefit hurts. It wounds him deeply and so Pat counters with his own verbal jab, defeat? By that lousy song? Am I supposed to feel something? Pran finally picks up on it and realizes Pat isn’t playing, not tonight. So, he tells him to go. He says you’re drunk, don’t act silly (foolish). This isn’t the time. But Pat doesn’t listen, and this is where Pran makes his second mistake, he puts his hands on Pat and demands he quit this right now and pushes him.
Pat then asks him why? Why can’t he be (silly) and say what he wants to say? He looks over at Wai and says are you afraid he’ll find out? Do you care about him that much (more than me?) and Pran pushes at him some more to get him to quit talking. And Wai chooses this moment to butt in, ugh, and yells at Pat to stop messing with his friend. And Pat just rounds on him and says mind your own business, this is between him and me. You have no say here.
Pran holds Wai back and Wai turns on him and asks point blank what is your problem with this guy? Pran doesn’t answer and Pat goads him by chiming in with tell him, go ahead and tell him, I dare you. Pran races back and grabs at Pat again and ask him what the hell is his problem. And as well-acted as all this is, it hurts to see our boys like this so you can stop it right now, please, both of you. Let’s go back to the dimple-poking and chin-booping.
Pat has kept his hands to himself this entire time and just lets Pran grab him and push him again and again. And only when Pran screams in his face does Pat lose it and grabs him back and asks him why can’t he say it? Why is it that Pran can only be nice to him when no one else is around. Isn’t he important to him, too? Doesn’t Pat matter to him? Why does it have to be like this? Acting like they’re enemies when they’re not. Acting like there isn’t something more between them when there is. He’s tired of this, isn’t Pran?
Wai sees the two of the grabbing onto each other and decides he’s seen enough. He pushes his way in between them and lands the first punch on Pat. Pat immediately gets up and gives it back just as good. And the entire fandom rejoices, I’m kidding, though not really. No, really, I kid. Wai showed up at the wrong moment and suffers the wrath that is Pat at the height of his emotional breakdown. Though he’s not innocent, Wai should not be here to take on Pat who is itching for a fight. I will only say this once and never again, but I reluctantly commend Wai for not physically interfering until he saw Pat grab at Pran. There I said it. Now I must go sanitize my hands for typing that out.
After knocking out Wai with that single punch, Pat stalks his prey and advances for a would-be beat down and if not for Pran rushing in to hold him back who knows how much more this would have escalated. I hope Wai has medical insurance. Pran tells Pat to stop and to calm down. And to his credit, he turns around and tells Wai the same thing and tells him to go home. Wai looks at him and asks point blank again if he’s sure there’s nothing going on here between him and Pat? And here Pran makes his third and final mistake, he says like I said, nothing means nothing. Wai believes him and takes off.
I like the coloring of this scene a lot. I also like that it wasn’t filled with overly distracting background music. It’s just enough so you can feel the building tension. Also, the actor placement is intentional too. Look at the space between Pran and Pat. The chasm has widened, and we’re left thinking can Pat ever bridge that gap again? Basically, I just like all the directing and editing choices made here.
Pran stays long enough to make sure Wai leaves. He then turns to look at Pat on the ground and there are no words, but his look says it all. He is disappointed. He is confused. He doesn’t understand what brought all this on. But he’s not going to stay and listen to anything Pat has to say. He’s done with Pat. He turns away and leaves Pat on the ground, alone.
Pat gets up and walks over to the steps. He pulls an item from the gift bag, seemingly the reason why he waited for Pran to come home in the first place, and pulls out the promised new bottle of condensed milk. Oh, Pat. You done messed up, completely. He seems instantly regretful over what transpired tonight even if it wasn’t his intention, he recognizes that he’s at fault, but first a gratuitous shower scene to sober himself up.
Thank you show, for this scene. But also, damn Ohm, how tall are you? You actually have to duck to wash your head. And here I am lugging around a ladder just to punch deserving weasels.
A freshly showered and sobered Pat knocks on Pran’s door to no answer. We note that Pran’s door tag is flipped to the frowny side, aww. Pat next tries Pran’s phone and that goes unanswered as well. Deciding he needs some air, Pat heads to the rooftop only to find Pran there. He sighs, hesitates and wonders if he should just leave him be for the night. But never one to shy away from confrontation and getting things out in the open, Pat pushes on and walks forward.
Pat doesn’t immediately say anything and Pran makes a move to go, but Pat turns and faces him and credit Pran for staying and staring right back.
This whole conversation was too good that nothing I write could ever fully encapsulate the show’s incredible dialogue, so I’ll be typing it out mostly verbatim. I’ll share my commentary at the end.
Pat asks why did he play that song? Pran doesn’t understand, why can’t he play that song? It’s his song, he wrote it. Pat says but it’s the song they played together. And Pran goes, so? Oh, is that why you were so angry? Because of this little thing? Pat replies with little thing? Does it (read: I) mean that little to you? Pran goes dammit, Pat, what’s gotten into you? And here Pat lays himself bare for Pran: I didn’t like it. I didn’t like seeing you play that song with someone else. And Pran’s response is: Pat, you’ve got to stop doing this to me. You and I are nothing to each other. We can’t even be friends. And cue Pat’s monologue:
You’re right. How can we be friends if our parents despise each other? How can we be friends if we live next door to each other and can’t even talk? How can we be friends if we’re forced to compete against each other in everything? You know what, when you were away, it was so peaceful for me. I didn’t have to compete against you. I wasn’t paranoid. I didn’t need to know what your GPA was. I didn’t need to know which sports you were involved in. But you know what? It was so depressingly lonely for me.
Pran is stunned by Pat’s confession because depressingly lonely doesn’t even come close to what Pran experienced those three years apart from him. At least Pat had Pa, his friends, his familiar surroundings. Pran was ripped away and dropped into an entirely new environment, and this is a lot for someone who relies heavily on having a set routine. And the only person who could have eased that loneliness and burden for him lived on his computer, frozen in pictures.
Pat asks, what we have now, what should we call it? If we’re not enemies, do you think we can be friends? And Pran answers Pat’s question with one of his own: Why? Do you want us to be friends? And Pat stares and stares at Pran understanding that the answer to this question will determine everything going forward between them. And Pran is not going to give him an answer until Pat does so Pat has to be brave and honest for the both of them. And he does with a very emphatic, no. No, he doesn’t want to be just friends with Pran.
Pat is saying: “I’m just a boy standing in front of another boy asking him to love me.” Only on a Bangkok university rooftop instead of Notting Hill. Not knowing that Pran already does and always has.
With that no said, he steps forward and Pran meets him. And Pat just goes for it and kisses him. He pulls away and stares at Pran gauging his reaction and whether or not he wants this, giving him an opportunity to say his own no. And Pran takes a moment to war with himself and decides in that split-second that yes, he wants this, very much so. He’s going to allow himself to have Pat, to have this moment, right here and right now. Screw everything and everyone else. He’s going to do this because he wants it. For himself. And for the next 28 seconds, possibly for the first time in his life, Pran lives for no one else but himself. And that, friends, is the courage of one Pran Parakul to finally take and take and take.
And then the music soars and so does all our hearts as we are gifted with the most tender and emotional kiss of all BL to date. You can audibly hear the breathing between them, can see the tight grip that Pran has on Pat’s neck, anchoring him in place as though he doesn’t want him to ever leave, and Pat answers by pulling Pran in even closer by cradling the back of his head with both hands as if he needs him to be closer than he already is, saying I’m here, I’m here, I’m not going anywhere. And they both have their hands and lips on each other as though this is where they were meant to be all this time. They just took the long way to get here. And everything that has happened between them has led up to this moment. And we are right there with them. Our boys, giving into their feelings, at last.
They chase each other’s mouths for a few more kisses and then pull away. And the utter joy and contentment on Pat’s face is everything. Like he’s finally home and everything he knows of himself is wrapped up in this boy, his childhood, his present, and all the unknowns of the future is all there in Pran. That it all makes sense to him now. That every piece of the puzzle slots in just so because Pran reciprocates these feelings. This moment right here as Pat stares into Pran’s face is when Pat decides Pran is his priority from this point forward and this fact never changes for him, not even years later. Pat’s commitment and devotion to Pran is unshakable. Pat can look back on this as the definitive moment where Pat chose Pran to be the center of his everything.
But Pran’s face doesn’t mirror Pat’s. Pran seems shattered by their kiss. And not in a he’s overwhelmed by Pat kind of way, but more of a tormented what have I done kind of way. His face contorts painfully as he breaks down into tears and we hurt for him. He then flees and leaves behind a reeling Pat.
Pat watches Pran take off and stumbles backwards as if it finally hits him what this all means for himself and for Pran. How this changes everything.
I’m no cinematic expert, but this wide shot of Pat right as the aftermath of the kiss hits him is très magnifique. Or as tumblr critics like to say *chef’s kiss*. I think it’s meant to show how small Pat is compared to how much larger the world is that surrounds him and Pran, illustrating what they’re about to go up against. It really is them against the world.
This concludes our fifth hour with our boys. Full disclosure, this ending and the ones for EP8 and EP11 are the three times in the show where I physically stood up with fists raised and cursed at the screen, yelling IT DOES NOT END LIKE THIS?!! NOOOO!! I was quite literally fists of fury at the injustice of it all. How dare you, show, for leaving us hanging for an entire week before finding out what happens next. Damn your cliffhangers, P’Aof. Why are you so masterful at leaving us wanting more?
First of all, Pat, you know it’s not really love if you bring your little sister on your supposed date, right? You’d want the other person all to yourself. And if you were certain of your feelings, you wouldn’t need a third person to come along and confirm them for you. While hilarious and mostly meant for laughs, the entire pancake shop scene served a more intentional purpose. We’re meant to learn about the four signs as we watched Pat epically fail at applying them to Ink. We’re also meant to see that Ink clearly is not interested in Pat in that way as she told Pran in EP4, but it was important that Pat learns this for himself. And it was necessary to give Pat a barometer on which to measure the four signs when applied to Ink and how different he felt when applied to himself with Pran.
Pat’s epiphany was beautifully portrayed. I absolutely love that Pat was completely undone by it. More so because we got to see the very moment when it happened, it wasn’t offscreen like Pran’s. Seeing Pat going through his realization really makes me wonder how Pran would have handled his? I bet he was in middle school when he realized his feelings for Pat were less than rivalry-fueled and more than I just want to be his friend. I bet it took him by surprise as much as it did Pat. I can see it all so clearly...
How one day a breeze flutters through the open window of their classroom and ruffles Pat’s hair just so and it causes Pran to stare. How a week later, he happens to walk by and hears Pat laughing loudly at a joke and the sound suddenly makes Pran’s chest feel warm. How he watches Pat strut to the chalkboard to answer a math equation causing Pran’s fingers to tightly grip his own piece of chalk, while standing at that same board a mere a foot away writing out his own solution. How Pran freezes when Pat reaches around him, bumping his waist, for a piece of chalk and Pran can feel his neck heat from his involuntary blush at Pat’s touch.
I picture his heart speeding up whenever Pat is nearby. How he has to run away and sneak into an empty classroom clutching his chest, steady his shaking hands, and ask himself what is happening. And how it happens again the next day and the day after that and all the days since. Where eventually Pran can’t deny it any longer and admits to himself that he only feels this way when Pat is near. And Occam’s razor explains that this can only mean one thing.
And now things are different for Pran. I can see him trying to keep his face from morphing into heart eyes when Pat accidently brushes his shoulder on his way to lunch. How he has to avert his eyes when Pat changes out of his PE clothes. How he has to school his face when Pat does something ridiculous to get a rise out of him. How he secretly wants to laugh or even beam in response but holds back for fear that such an act would give him away. How he finds himself alone in a classroom with a slumbering Pat and has to stop himself from reaching out and brushing Pat’s hair away from his forehead. How he doesn’t put up that much of a fight when Pat steals his milk carton from his lunch tray. And how later that same day he doesn’t hide the dimple in his cheek when he finds a yogurt drink on his desk knowing who left it there as payment. So Pran watches Pat, tries harder at beating him at everything to get him to look his way more often, and feels his heart growing in size to accommodate this boy and his enormous feelings for him.
I picture him watching Pat play soccer with the sun framing his profile, a sight that captures his breath making Pran commit it to memory, a picture-perfect moment when the warm sunlight and the sunshine boy melds together as one. How he was never quite able to keep his gaze from flickering back to Pat when he was supposed to be feigning reading his history lesson on the bleachers. How he has to stop himself from cheering when Pat scores a goal because that’s not something a rival would do. And how he lingers just a bit longer than necessary after the game ends to watch Pat down an entire water bottle and tries not to notice the bobbing of his Adam’s apple as he swallows. I can see it all, can’t you? And I wish we got to see more of it in the flashbacks. I wish we got to live it alongside Pran.
I want to address Pat’s depressingly lonely statement and really the entire rooftop conversation. Has there ever been a more emotive way of saying you missed someone than this? To reveal that he wasn’t just lonely without Pran, he was depressingly so. He was walking through a haze, barely functioning, a shell of himself. And after a long time, he adapted and going through the motions became routine but there was always something unsettled about his life. And he knows it and sees it now. It’s because Pran wasn’t there beside him. To joke with him. To compete with him. To always extend that finish line just an inch further. To challenge him. To dare him to be a better version of himself. Pran wasn’t there and he missed him. So fucking much. He didn’t realize how much until he saw him in that alley right after Pran landed that kick to his chest.
And how for a while he was even angry at Pran for leaving, even though he knows logically that it wasn’t Pran’s doing, but he was still pissed that Pran could so easily leave him behind. Was he someone that could so effortlessly be tossed aside and abandoned? But now Pran’s back and things are almost as good as they used to be.
He didn’t realize it then but having Pran back in his life it’s loud and clear to him now, that he wasn’t himself without Pran. He was fucking lonely and seriously, fuck their parents. They taught them to hate each other. They groomed them to be rivals. But it was never Pat and Pran’s fight, he knows that, and he knows that Pran knows it too. But Pat wants to tell Pran something very important here: the joke is on their parents. Because Pat never hated him, not even a little bit.
And what they have now? He doesn’t know what this is. He doesn’t know what Pran wants them to be. But he wants to find out. With Pran. He wants to explore and navigate this thing between them. Because Pat knows that Pran feels it too. He knows it just like he knows how deep the dimples in Pran’s cheeks get when he’s happy, truly happy because Pat himself has been responsible for putting that look on Pran’s face countless times before. So, this is all of Pat, stripped and naked, standing in front of you asking what do you have to say to that, Pran?
Let’s talk about Pat’s “no” on the rooftop and how it is a direct juxtaposition to his “yes” in EP4. How when he answers yes to liking Ink he does so impulsively and without care, but his no here to Pran is drawn out and given the time and breadth to fully convey that he means it, like really, MEANS IT. He does not want to be just his friend. And I love how the show chose to sum everything Pat is feeling in one succinct word: no. One simple word and then relying on Ohm to DELIVER it. Bravo P’Aof for trusting your actors.
Also, note that Pran throws Pat’s question back at him. He wants Pat to answer, none of this let’s both answer at the same time bullshit. He wants to know what Pat wants because Pran has always known what he himself wants but needs to hear it from Pat’s own mouth. And we can all relate, for how many times have we wanted the other person to make their feelings known first? Afraid to be the first one to put ourselves out there, to risk our hearts especially in Pran’s case when his heart was given away long ago only the person receiving it had no idea what kind of treasure he’d been entrusted with.
Look at the way they’re looking at each other. Officer, I swear they’re in love.
This episode obviously veered from the first four in that we got to see things unfold from Pat’s point of view instead of Pran’s. It’s curious that from Pat’s perspective, he doesn’t see Pran as pushing him away or declining his presence. He sees it as Pran wanting him there, but not being able to vocalize it. See the two negotiating over breakfast for Pat to stay and how quickly Pran gives in, see also how easily Pran allows Pat into his room for the earbuds. And then note how Pat leaves on his own without needing Pran to kick him out. Even in the music store, it’s Pat who leaves first. Perhaps from Pran’s perspective and in his mind’s eye, he’s putting up a front to keep Pat at arm’s length, but we see things differently from Pat’s view, that Pran wants him there he just needs to believe that it’s not coming from himself but is of Pat’s doing. That Pat WANTS to be there and keeps COMING BACK despite Pran consistently giving him an out is the key difference for Pran.
Growing up they couldn’t talk to each other when others were around, but they developed a mode of conversation without words where one immediately picks up on the other’s needs even distorted through a tin can. This is Pat hearing what Pran doesn’t say across the invisible strings of a metaphorical tin can. And we’re counting on Pat to continue to listen for what Pran doesn’t say as he tries to distance himself from Pat in the next episode. Because what Pran doesn’t know is that Pat is already all in, his cards are laid on the table and he’s showing all hearts. And he’s patiently waiting for Pran to push all his chips in too.
):):):):):):):):)
And that’s a wrap on my deconstruction of EP5, thank you SO MUCH for reading this far and for reliving the episode with me. This was a monster of a recap and not gonna lie, it totally got away from me. Not my fault. It refused to be contained. Up next, we have EP6 featuring one of my favorite drama tropes: THE CHASE. I can’t wait!

It is finally Complete. This damn thing has taken me over a month to finish (I'm rusty, okay?) and ended up being about 4x a long as I had originally intended, but I think I'm overall pretty happy with it.
I still have to go over it one more time, cuz I actually haven't read it through all together. And I'm still debating if I just want to post it here (in parts of course) or if I want to brave putting it up on AO3 (probably still in parts). Part of me wants to go the AO3 route and just create a new account so my old stuff can't be tracked down and connected to me....
But we'll see. I know there's at least one paragraph that needs a minor rework, but at the very least it will go up here once that's done. I'm very excited to share it. 😊

🌅Sunsets in Sydney🌅
Genre: Fluff, childhood best friend to lovers, Idol! Felix x Reader, Humor, slight cursing, she fell first but he fell harder.
Words: 2.1k
Summary: After being on tour for a whole year, Felix is finally back in Sydney for a well-deserved break. While he is ecstatic to be with his family again, there’s one person who he wants to see most. His childhood best friend and crush, Y/N.
A/n: Okay, can I start this off by saying, Holy crap… Thank you to all who like or reblogged my first fanfic with Han!! ( click his name if you wanna read it ! ) I honestly thought it wasn’t that good since I wrote it in a very sleep-deprived state, lol. But y’all proved me wrong🥹❤️🩹 That said, I hope you guys also like this story with Felix! Like always, if you have any feedback or want to make a special request just DM me!! Here’s also my latest one with Seungmin as well 🫶🏼
P.S Does anyone else have “that’s not very nice�� stuck in their head too?
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⋅•⋅⊰∙∘
365 days.
That's how long Felix has been away from the place he calls home. And no, he doesn't mean his actual home back in Sydney. He means being away from his childhood best friend, Y/n.
Felix and Y/n have been best friends since grade school. They have always been there for each other, from performing in talent shows to caring for each other when one falls ill. They are like two peas in a pod; wherever one goes, the other is sure to follow.
On the day Felix had to tell Y/n that he was leaving Sydney to become an idol in Korea, he broke down crying. He was worried that being thousands of miles away from his closest friend would strain their relationship. As he was about to board the plane, he turned around to see Y/n waving goodbye to him with tears streaming down her face, and he couldn't help but cry, too.
Surprisingly, Felix and Y/n's friendship didn't end after that day. Instead, their bond grew even stronger. Y/N would constantly update Felix through text or calls, sharing the details of her day and making sure he didn't miss out on anything important. While Felix enjoyed receiving these updates, what he loved most was the pictures his mom would send him of Y/n with his family on small family trips. Seeing her smile and taking selfies with his sisters always warmed his heart.
He had already surpassed the stage of simply developing feelings for Y/n. Felix adored her. He loved her. Whenever he watched a video of a couple on TikTok or Instagram, he imagined how to recreate the same videos with Y/n by his side. His heart skipped when Y/n surprised him at one of his earlier concerts with Olivia and Hannah, Chan's sister. The memory of her dancing his part of God's Menu while Hannah danced Chan's part on the big screen was something he would never forget. Since that night, Felix had been planning to confess his love to Y/n, and he decided to do it under the sunset in Sydney.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽
Under the hot summer sun, Felix's freckled face is lit up with a big smile as his family rushes to greet him. Olivia is the first to embrace him, screaming, "Oh my God, do you even know how I miss you, Lix?!"
Felix laughed, embracing his youngest sister and repeating, "I miss you more." He noticed that Olivia had grown a bit since the last time he saw her and that her hair was now dyed at the ends. Noticing her brother staring at her hair, Olivia mentioned that Y/N did it a few days ago at one of their usual girls' nights. His mom and dad were the next two to hug him tightly, with his mom shedding a few happy tears.
"I say this every time, but I am so happy to have my baby back home."
Felix wraps his arms around his mom, hugging her as he says, "I am happy to be back home to Mom."
Felix was sitting in the back of a car, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of Y/n. He was waiting for her message, asking if he had reached home safely, but he had yet to receive any message from her. Although this was unusual, he assumed she might be busy.
Suddenly, Olivia abruptly interrupts Felix's train of thought, "So, are you finally going to ask Y/n to be your girlfriend while you're here, or are we still sticking to the whole 'she's just my best friend' excuse?" The unexpected question catches Felix off guard. His face turns red with embarrassment as his mother turns her head around from the passenger seat, waiting for a response.
Avoiding eye contact with his mother and sister, Felix clears his throat, allowing himself to find the right words.
"Um.. what makes you think I even have feelings for her?"
Olivia stares at her older brother, scolding him with his earlier response, "Felix be so fucking for real right now. It's obvious you have feelings for Y/n. You look at her as if she is your whole world, your face lights up with a smile whenever she texts you, and you always seem to find a way to talk about her when we talk on the phone. If that doesn't scream, "I am in love with my best friend," then I don't know what does. Oh, and before you go and argue with me about this, even the boys agree that you are completely strung up on her. So do us all a favor and tell her how you feel, will you?"
Felix sighs as he looks up to see his sister's gaze. He knew he had to come clean now before his plans got ruined.
"Have I mentioned how much I dislike you sometimes, Liv?"
"Yeah, but I'm your favorite sister, so start spilling before I call Hyunjin and have him tell Y/n to you."
During the last five minutes of their car ride, Felix confided in his family about his plan to ask Y/n out when they reached the house. He made them promise not to say anything to Y/n about his plan since he wanted to create a memorable and private moment between them.
As Felix's father pulled into the driveway, Felix noticed Y/n's car parked across the street. His heart raced as he jumped out of the car, ignoring his mother's yelling about not going inside yet.
Felix barges through the main door and stops when he sees the handmade "Welcome Home Lixie" banner that Y/n was struggling to put up. He chuckles softly and leans by the living room doorway, watching as she gets on her tiptoes to hook the string onto the nail.
"You know, I could've helped you put up the banner, sunshine if you would've waited a little longer."
Y/n turns around to find Felix smirking. Blushing, she runs to him and hugs him. He hugs her back, lifting her up and spinning her around.
Trying not to cry on his shoulders, Y/n ever so softly whispers, "You have no idea how much I missed your hugs, Lix."
"Me too, sunshine, it's been way too long."
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⋅•⋅⊰∙∘
After returning home and having dinner early, Felix went upstairs to his room. There, he discovered a welcome-home basket in the center of his bed. The basket contained his favorite candies, face masks, a small chicken plushie, and gift cards to his preferred places. Felix smiled, realizing that it was a gift from Y/n. She was always the type to spoil others with gifts, even if it was a small occasion. Looking through the gifts in the basket, he heard a soft knock on the door, and Y/n walked in. When Felix looked up at her, they locked eyes for the second time that day. Time seemed to come to a standstill, and after a while, Y/n was the first to break the silence.
"I hope you like it; I saw it on Tiktok late last night and thought I should make you one."
"I love it a lot; thank you, sunshine."
He gives her a soft smile and motions for her to sit with him on the bed. She walks over and sits beside him, watching him unwrap more gifts. Y/n can't help but laugh as Felix brings the chicken plushie up to his face, jokingly asking, "Do you think it looks like me?"
"As much as I want to say yes, I feel like I am going betray BbokAri, so I must lie and say no."
Felix and Y/n laugh as Felix places the plushie back on the shelf behind him. The room lights up in a golden hue, indicating the sun is about to set. Without wasting more time, Felix takes Y/n's hand and leads her out of his room and towards his car.
"Lix, what are you doing? Where are we going?"
"I was hoping we could watch the sunset together again, just like we did as kids. It's been quite some time since the last time we did, and let's face it, we're not getting any younger. Before we know it, we'll be as old as old man Chan."
""I'm going to tell him you said that," she says, laughing as she follows him to his car. They both jump in and drive to the nearby beach.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⋅•⋅⊰∙∘
As the car pulled onto the sandy shore, Felix practically flew out of his side to open the door for Y/n. She beamed with delight as she stepped out, feeling the warm sand under her toes. Felix swiftly closed the car door and took her hand, leading her towards the beach. The sky was ablaze with a breathtaking display of pink and orange hues as the sun descended below the horizon.
"I forgot how pretty the sunset could be when you can see the reflection on the water."
"I know, but it's even prettier with you beside me," Felix responds.
Y/n stands before Felix, unsure if he is joking or serious. He chuckles as she becomes flustered.
"You know that's not very nice."
"What isn't sunshine?"
"You saying that to me and not explaining what you mean," Y/n states as she turns away from him.
Felix grabs Y/n by her waist and spins her, holding her close. Y/n's face flushes a deep shade of pink as she catches her breath. They've been close for years, but something feels different about this moment. There's a palpable tension in the air, a feeling of unspoken love that's hard to ignore. Felix looks deep into Y/n's eyes, examining how the sun's warm glow illuminates them. The sound of waves crashing against the shore adds to the moment's magic. Fighting the urge to kiss her immediately, Felix takes a deep breath as he stares into her eyes.
"Do you remember why I decided to return home for a break instead of staying in the dorms with the boys?" Puzzled by his random question, Y/n nods her head, looking back into his dark brown eyes.
"Of course I do. It was because you wanted to be with your family since you were homesick, Lix."
"You're right. But there's something important that I need to tell you, something that should've been said from the very beginning. Y/n, I like you. I'm in love with you. I love you so much that it hurts not to have you by my side most days or even to call you mine. The night before I left Sydney, I intended to confess my feelings to you, but I knew it was bad timing since I was leaving, and I didn't want to end our friendship. So, I kept it to myself for years. However, seeing you with Liv and Hannah at our concert earlier this year, dancing and singing to our songs, made me realize that what I felt for you was more than just a simple grade school crush. Y/n, I'd be lying if I said you weren't the person I want to spend the rest of my life with because I do. I want you to be mine, my only sunshine. And if you don't feel the same way, I understand..."
Felix was toward the end of his sentence when Y/n suddenly cut him off by pressing her lips against his. It was a bold move, but she had been crushing on Felix for what felt like an eternity and couldn't hold back any longer. When they finally pulled away, Felix looked at Y/n with a knowing smile, pressing his forehead on hers. In a very soft voice, Felix finally finishes his sentence.
"I cannot imagine spending a single day without you by my side anymore. Will you do me the greatest honor of all and be mine forever?
""Until forever stops existing, my love."

@wikwalker hi sure yes anything to give me an excuse to procrastinate the post i should be writing right now. here are all teh drugs and how to manage them. you can trust me, a drug addict
first of all: https://www.erowid.org/ , erowid always
don't be afraid of drugs, if they're the right drugs, you should do them since they will be a blast regardless and overcoming fear is also good (but outside the scope here)
OK to do as much as you want:
alcohol - social benefit greatly outweighs health effects, no reason to avoid if predisposed to abuse since that'll happen sooner or later. what can i say? don't be a fucking dork. when you start drinking, really overdo it as much as possible without dying and get a few real nasty hangovers under your belt so you know how much is the right amount to drink.
weed - innocuous enough to be fine but will make you stupid in the long term. make sure to only buy from a real drug dealer and never some legal institution. cut it out when you're a "real adult". don't smoke weed and watch TV routinely, go out and do things so you naturally grow to hate it. good to go through this as early as possible to minimize the time you spend as a cringe weed enthusiast
i guess those are the only two.
ok to do infrequently (annually):
"lsd" - or whatever it is, probably not lsd, blah blah blah, if it works and is sold on blotter its fine and won't make you go nuts or whatever. opt for a better psychadelic imo. see psych rule at bottom of section
mushrooms - better than acid since you know what they are. rule of thumb is to always do more than you think you want. minimum 1/8oz. see psych rule at bottom of post
dmt - if you somehow have a dmt hookup you don't need to be reading any of this. lasts 10 minutes which leads to tendency to way overdo it, don't do this, my favorite webcomic artist is permanently crazy from exactly that. using a crack pipe is also not the uhhhh most dignifying-feeling thing to do either. it's harder than you think.
mdma - for use at electronic music event or rave. overuse causes brain lesions or something.
coke - wait until you're in your 20s, have maxed out your roth IRA for a couple of years in a row, and havent missed a car payment in a similar timeframe. better still if you've worked a very shitty low paying job and know the value of a dollar. if you still find yourself buying candy you're not ready. too expensive to be worth it to get hooked on. know that you are VERY ANNOYING to anyone who also isn't high. don't fuck around with the guy selling it to you. avoid discussing or thinking about business ideas. you can't afford to make it a habit + kinda turns you into a piece of shit after a while, but at least a very interesting one
ketamine - another sick drug that rules, but save it for a special occasion. don't try and go into the k-hole your first time
rule for psychedelics - you get one good strong trip a year and that's it, make it count, always opt for doing a bit more than a bit less. but don't make it a habit, otherwise you turn into a very stupid very annoying "hippy" style cliché and believe in ghosts, aliens, crap like that.
ok to try once
prescription opiates/benzodiazepine (xanax), valium, this kind of shit - worth trying so you can go "holy shit, this stuff is way way way too good to ever use responsibly" and then never do again. especially if you're white. for some reason we just can't handle this shit. if a doctor prescribes it to you, idk, that's your call to make.
ayhuasca - this is just dmt in a different form. do some other psychadelics a number of times before you do this. once you realize the whole "substantial visual hallucinations" thing is made up, its time. do exactly this:
-buy root online (legal). receive box of dirt
-boil dirt into "tea" (read erowid for exact recipe)
-take over-the-counter anti nausea medicine or anything that will give you a stronger stomach
-drink tea (its nasty as fuck, get it down quick)
-have someone bigger than you keep an eye on you for the next five hours.
-have the experience, which is absurdly intense, has no bearing to the real world, etc etc. don't be a bitch and throw up, if you do it'll only last an hour or so. again there is no way to provide a consistent description of the experience except that you will meet god. you only ever need to do this once and never again. trust me
peyote/salvia/etc - try em if you want, you'll never ever want to again afterwords. these are drugs for idiot teenagers too lame to get real drugs. imagine being very very sick from poison and utterly terrified at the same time. No good
whippets/nitrous oxide - just find a dentist that uses it and don't bother creating hundreds of pounds of trash on your floor for this crap that lasts ten seconds. you have to understand the extremely short timeframe coupled with the cost makes zero sense. go to a phish concert parking lot and do some people watching -- you do not want to be these people. only use is as a motivator to get routine dental exam. also if you somehow manage to make it a heavy habit your fucking legs stop working, no shit, but they start working again once you quit.
don't ever do
heroin/meth/pcp - is is truly a mystery why you should never do these 🙄
synthetic weed/k2/shit from the gas station - it is so funny that they sell this as "weed that won't pop you on a drug test". its not weed. it is some dubious chemical sprayed on yard waste. smoke it to have a terrible time and go nuts. only buy drugs from legitimate drug dealers!
kratom - anyone's guess as to why this is legal but it's heroin for pussies. its still heroin
dxm/cough syrup - do you ever wonder why it is exclusively teenagers robotripping? it's because it sucks ass. is like a cheesegrater on your brain in terms of health effects with repeated usage. you're better than this king
inhalants - these are at the bottom of the list for a reason. do not huff gas. don't huff paint. do not consume computer duster. not fun + fastest way to make yourself a complete, uh, (word i can't say anymore) and then dead
not listed
quaaludes- unavailable due to no longer being manufactured. these ruled apparantly
sincis2c - unavailable due to not existing, i just made this up
amphetamines - cannot provide objective take here. they're my albatross, lifelong (posted 4:55am natch)

How do you think Yuuji, Sukuna, Megumi, Toji, Nobara, Maki, Gojo, Nanami and Geto would react to a matchmaker matching them with you? On a sort of blind date, where they go there, the matchmaker tells them to meet you on a date and their reaction to finding out you're the one for them?
This is just reminding me of Elemental. Damn now I wanna go see it again.
Pairing: Yuuji, Sukuna, Megumi, Nobara, Maki, Gojo, Nanami, Toji, Geto x Fem!Reader
Tags: fluff, meet-cute, blind date, flirting, blushing, matchmaking, dating, being flustered
A/N: My friend wanted to play matchmaker with me and this guy she knew. He was sweet but not my type.
COULDN'T WAIT TO MEET THE LOVE OF THEIR LIFE - Yuuji, Nobara, Gojo
No matter the weather or the time of day or the location they would be there. Not only would they be on time but they'd arrive in their best outfit and with flowers. They're bouncing on their heels as you approach and are so excited to meet you that they introduce themselves wrong. With nowhere else to hide they use the flowers they brought. It's a good thing you're the one who the matchmaker told them to meet because otherwise they might have left out of sheer embarrassment that they messed this up. How about they start over.
ALMOST DIDN'T SHOW UP - Megumi, Nanami, Geto
Told the matchmaker that what they're saying can't be right and swore they wouldn't go. As the clock ticker ever closer to the time they got more and more antsy and began to doubt if they're making a mistake. Oh what the hell, might as well go and see what you're about. If you even show up that is. When they get there you're already at the table, with your drinks in front of you. Since they're the one who are late they're gonna pay for the date this time. If things work out and there's a second date then you can pay them back. And that would also mean going back to the matchmaker and apologizing.
STILL THINKS MATCHMAKING IS STUPID BUT YOU'RE WAY TOO CUTE TO LEAVE - Sukuna, Maki, Toji
Showed up despite thinking that this matchmaking business is a complete and total scam. Holy crap did they not expect you to be so cute in person. Look at you, the whole package aren't you? And they almost missed out on a total hottie. It's a good thing they still dressed up nice or else they would have left a horrible first impression. You know what, screw being in one place for your first date, they're taking you out for drinks too. That way they can tell the matchmaker that they didn't fall for you in the spot that was predicted, and therefore it's still not real.

Francis (milk man) x reader or something ig
Guys this is a joke😔😔😔😜😜😜
⚠️WARNING SUPER SAD DONT READ IF UR SAD⚠️
Angst to smut😭😭😔😔😔🕊️🧍♂️🕊️🕊️🕊️
“What do you mean you’re leaving?” I protest to him grabbing his hand. The moon was illuminating the train station while me and Francis were facing each other in front of the train that was getting ready to leave. My blue orbs meet with his brown eyes as he looks at me with guilt. “I’m sorry my love, when I get home I promise I will stay with you forever, I really love you” he lifts the hand that I’m holding and kisses my wrist. My grip loosened up and he walked in the train “I promise to meet you again. Please wait for me” he waves goodbye from the window of the train. I wave goodbye with tears in my eyes and watch him leave.
TIME SKIP 69 years later
Music is playing from the radio. Specifically weezer as I bake chocolate chip cookies to cleanse my mind. As I put them in the oven waiting for my husband to come home. I’m super ecstatic at the thought of seeing him again. I decided to turn on the tv to pass the time. As I flip through the channels my eye catches the news channel. “Today we reported that a train heading to our city exploded. We don’t have any reports on the survivors. We will update you later this evening.” Wait. I thought to myself. “My husband is on that” I leaped up in the air and immediately called his cellphone. But before anyone could pick up I heard a knock on the door. The doorman doesnt let doppelgängers inside the building. I rushed to open the door and before I could say a word Francis wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me passionately and desperately. “I…I missed you…” he whispered between kisses.
⚠️SMUT PART.. RN!!😝😝😜😜😜🐷🐷😡🥰🇺🇸😈🕊️🦅👉⚠️
He gently leads me more into our apartment as he closes and locks the door. His kisses stop and start again but this time on my jawline down to my neck “Francis… shouldn’t we continue this in our bedroom?” He stops and looks at me with his sleepy eyes. Suddenly I feel his hand on my back and carries me to our bedroom bridal style. “I missed you so much sugar pie..” he says “I’m sorry for leaving you back then…. But I came back for you” he opens the bedroom door with his back and gently lays me on the bed. He starts to unbutton my shirt as he kisses my neck “please… let me do all the work” his tone had a slight whine. Then he pins me down and starts kissing my collarbone as his fingers trace down to my bra and then he unhooks it. I haven’t felt like this for so long but I feel eager, Francis notices and starts to take his own shirt too. Quickly he takes off your jeans out of desperation to see you. He starts to leave hickeys on my chest and neck as he massages one of my breasts. “Just relax sugar… that’s how it feels to ride an f150…” he whispers into my ear and kisses my forehead. He goes down towards my thighs and kisses them as he stares at me with a lustful and hungry expression. “Please sugar plum let me taste you…” he begs as he takes off my panties slowly. Again starting to kiss my thighs and gently biting them. Which makes me let out small moans. He trails kisses down towards my core. He swipes his tongue passionately through it which makes me whimper a bit. “You taste so good… please let me eat you more… you can take it right?” I couldn’t even say a complete sentence before he started to completely eat me out. It was too good. Yippie! “So pretty… just for me” he whispers while munching. He then starts to move his tongue quicker, yeowch! “Please… cum already… I want it NEOOOWWW” Suddenly I SQUIRTED all over his face!!! “Now darling.. tell me. Put a finger if you can squirt!” *puts a finger down* “good grill~” he trails kisses towards my chest now “i-i need to be in you.. He whimpers out. “Please” I nod in agreement. He gets up and quickly unbuckles his belt and yanks off his jeans. I can see through his bulging boxers that he’s ready to RUMBLE. He takes off his boxers and HOLY CRAP HIS DINGALING CHICKEN DRUMSTICK SPRINGS UP IN EXCITEMENT AND IT'S BIGGER THAN DRAKES!!! “Donald trump… if you can hear us, please save us..” I start to pray quietly. I open my legs like a turkey in a thanksgiving meal. He lines up with me and SLOWLY shoves it in, ouchies!!! He whimpers as he goes BALLS DEEP EVERYONE, CHEEKS CLAPPING!! He starts to thrust slowly making sure it doesn’t hurt yayyy! So I start to beg “Francis please go faster… I need to know how it’s like to ride an f150” then I flip him over so I’m the alpha male, Rawr!! Then I start to ride him going up and down so I know how to ride a ford F150. Yippie! His slender hands grab my hips and POUNDS me deep into his bawls, my back arches as he starts to guide me “good grill~ you’re so good at satisfying me…….AHHGGGGHGGG FASTER BUDDY BOY AHHHHHHHHHG~~~ MGHHHHHH” muffled screams fortunately weren’t heard through the apartments soundproof room. “I’m about to COMBUST” same!!! Then we both bust a nut!!! Yippie the end!!!……. OK GUYS GO LIKE AND SUSCRIBE TO THE AWESOME CHANNEL. POG CHAMP🗣️🔥🔥🔥

Frosthawk Moments - Canon
So I made some gifs from some scenes in the first Avengers movie that no one ever talks about. I think most people have completely missed it because I've never actually seen anyone comment on it.
This:
Clint Barton actually hits Loki!
CLINT. HIT. LOKI.
That bullet hits—and then ricochets, and then Loki reacts like this:
He immediately retaliates, and if Clint hadn't ducked out of the way because he's incredibly good at that, he would have been obliterated head-on!
And as we all remember, Clint then gets back up after everyone else has been knocked down, and this moment happens here:
And this? This is when Clint realizes that Loki is far stronger than he was expecting—it's a great bit of acting on Renner's part, because you can see him realize 'holy crap, this guy is something else entirely'. Canonically, Hawkeye is the strongest of all the agents without any 'extras' and he's always been able to handle himself and this is the first time he's been up against something like this.
You can see his expression go from "ow, that hurts" to "wait...what the fuck?" and it's just so damn brilliant.
I always had the thought that Loki was getting irritated because he's aimed at the guy more than twice and not only did Clint dodge, but he got back up to keep fighting! Loki's literally thinking, You keep getting back up! Stop it!
...and I have always been certain that this was the moment he saw something in him.
This is why he said, "You have heart."
I genuinely think Loki was planning on killing him up until that point, but when he saw that this human had such a drive and passion to fight, he knew that this was the right person to protect him. I would like to remind people that Loki was actually still severely incapacitated, it just didn't seem that way because he was still stronger compared to humans.
Then in the scene that occurs right before the deleted scene (which explains so much more) we have this:
Look at how Loki looks at him, almost as though he's measuring just how adept he is and how smart he is. This is when Clint is explaining how he chose the location because they need the three levels of lead-lined flooring to keep S.H.I.E.L.D. from finding the cube. This is Loki realizing he chose the right person because right after this we hear him see, "I see why Fury chose you to guard it," acknowledging just how smart and adaptive he is.
And then there's an entire scene between the two of them that was cut from the final draft.
Which never. Should have been. DELETED.
Take this for instance:
You see all of those people? You see all of that massive set up??
NONE OF THAT WAS LOKI.
Everything that you see in the planning throughout the rest of the Avengers movie that seemed to be Loki was all Clint Barton outsmarting and outwitting S.H.I.E.L.D. He was the one who even came up with the plan for Loki to purposely get himself captured!!
Now let's talk about this scene here:
"I want to know everything you can tell me about this team of his. I would...test their' mettle."
Like...HELLO??? This tells us right here that Clint was the one who gave up all the information and told Loki everything about all of the Avengers! We can glean from the fact that we saw Clint in the first Thor movie (with Coulson) that he has been fully aware of the Avengers way before anyone else knew about it.
He had the most information besides Coulson. Which means that Loki went into his "capture" already knowing all about Clint and Nat's relationship, which also allows us to deduce that he also knew that Natasha was playing him from the beginning! He knew she would figure it out, so he was stalling for time—and that was it!
Then we have this:
Clint: "If you're set on making yourself known...could be useful."
Loki: "Tell me what you need."
This is the dialogue that takes place here, and it explains so much. The way they originally cut the movie, it jumps from the scene with Selvig to the dialogue at the tail end of this deleted scene—which now, if you rewatch the movie, you will see is a glaringly obvious cut.
But this entire deleted scene sets up the rest. of the freaking. MOVIE.
This deleted scene shows us that Hawkeye was the mastermind behind not only taking down the helicarrier with only a few arrows, but also the one who planned the entire attack...just to get Loki back out after he triggered the Hulk.
Fury (over comms): "It's Barton. He took out our systems. He's headed for the detention level!"
ALL. CLINT'S. PLAN.
I am of the mind why they cut this scene was solely to put the blame on Loki, because if they had kept this scene in it would have become painfully obvious that Loki wouldn't have made it as far on his own and only made it so far because of Clint.

Thoughts on the official translation of 405?
Yeah, thoughts abound.
1. Is the official translation of the final line in chapter 405 accurate? No.
2. Regardless, some people think it's inaccurate in really blatant ways that it actually is not. For example, some people think the official translation is changing some explicitly used pronouns around. If there's EVER anything about Japanese that isn't completely clear, it's what the pronouns should be--because the vast majority of them are implied.
3. Re: the "yeah yeah" line, I can conceive of a delivery of the line that does not sound disrespectful. That doesn't mean that's how the translator meant it, and this translator does have a habit of translating Katsuki's rude language with a certain *VIBE* that I don't always agree with--but that doesn't change the fact that Katsuki does speak very rudely and the translator clearly tries to capture that in the way they seem to think is best.
4. It's quite a leap to claim that this official translation is inaccurate due to deliberate malice, which I see a lot of people doing. From what I can tell, the translator just didn't realize the final line is a callback to chapter 322. Without that context, yeah, I can see how it'd be difficult to fully understand what's being said there, because enough of the words are vague or implied that it'd be confusing what Katsuki's talking about without that realization. Katsuki doesn't say "I (ore)" in the line, he says "kocchi (this/here)," which depending on the context can mean "I, we, us over here on this side (of the line, of the argument)." He also doesn't say "Izuku/Deku/that nerd" specifically, he says "aitsu (that guy over there)" with the kanji reading as "One For All." Without the context of chapter 322, it could easily read like "we'll wipe the floor with you where those One For All guys couldn't."
5. Building off #4, we need to be a little more self-aware as fans. When you are a big fan of something, you're gonna be more likely to remember specific lines and notice callbacks and be keyed into the little details. First of all, not everyone is capable of that, especially with respect to a long 405-chapter-and-counting manga. This line is referencing something that the translator hasn't necessarily seen in over two years. Should the translator have to comb back through the entire manga every week just to be safe? Is that really feasible? Of course I'd love for the official translation to be as accurate as possible, but when you're translating something on a weekly basis that isn't even finished yet, it's just a fact that there will be times you miss things. You don't always have the luxury of time to go back and check for things you've missed that need to be tied together. I've messed up lines in my translations before too. Please keep in mind this is the translator's JOB, not necessarily their PASSION. They're likely translating multiple projects at the same time for a meager paycheck. They've got a lot of stuff to remember from various projects at the same time, and they're gonna miss stuff on occasion. Did the translator "not care" in this case? I think it's far more likely the translator cares enough, but if they're not in the fandom they're not gonna care more than the fans nor should we expect them to.
The proper response is not to ATTACK THE TRANSLATOR'S LIVELIHOOD like I see MANY people doing, holy crap.
Translating is often a thankless job. No one writes Viz telling them how good of a job the translator is doing when they get 99% of the translations right. The most obsessive fans often jump on mistakes as if those mistakes are personal attacks. But we're complaining about 1 or 2 lines out of the whole chapter. The rest was pretty good. That's the case for most chapters. It's hard to justify claiming malice when the translator far more often than not gets it right. But goodness, attacking the translator is not going to endear you to anyone who matters. If the translation is something you truly care about and you want to foster nontoxic fandom spaces and have good relationships between the fandom and the producers, a more proper response would be something like:
"Hey Viz, I think the translator missed this key bit of context which could have helped him with this line's translation. I love Horikoshi's work and want the best for it, and I think the translator cares about doing a good job. Would you please let the translator know about this and have him look into it for the official print tankoban release in English?"
The more you alienate and dogpile the translator, the less they're gonna care about doing a good job.

Guys, I'm telling you--
If I miss a single lesson, that bird is going to rapidly approach my house.
It was all fun and dandy until, all of a sudden, one of the characters mention "Duo"
And I'm thinking to myself, "who the heck is Duo?"-AND THEN, one of the characters talk about "Duolingo" in a sentence, or one of the notifs of the characters saying somewhere around the lines "or don't. Encouragement is Duo's thing."
And I'm like..
"Holy crap, these characters are becoming sentient."
And the next thing you know, you're tied up in a chair with that damn green bird torturing you with lessons until you can get every single one r i g h t.

Head Over Heels (Law X TomBoyF!Reader)
(A little dabble I thought while taking a piss 🥺👉🏻👈🏻 like 3 minutes ago)
Warnings⚠: None
[Part 1/?]
Law meets Luffys older (by like a year) sister who honestly the type of girl he’d imagine being the big sister to the Straw Hat and BOY is she just fiiiiiiiine!
3 brothers!
Imagine growing up with 3 idiot brothers with only one of them being less stupid. Fist fights, rolling around in mud and dirt, covered in blood from hunting, needing a bath every night to not get sick. Haha God I love those idiots!
~
Law doesn’t know why he’s here, walking down a random street on a random island with the idiot Straw Hat Luffy. As the two walk, Luffy lets out a loud yell as he sees a familiar older girl walking down the street. “HEEEEEEY! (YYYYY/NNN)!”. He calls way too loudly, drawing the attention of everyone including the girl. She turns in confusion, the gasps as she looks over with wide eyes and a bright smile.
Luffy jolts off over to the girl, the Captain of the Heart Pirates groaning as he slowly walks to catch up. He sees her wearing baggy long pants and a bikini, saddles and a small pack bag through the belt parts of her pants. Luffy jumps and hugs her, who hugs him back. “No way! It’s so good to see you again little dude!”. She greets him. “I’ve missed you so much!”. Luffy cries. (Y/n) pulls off the younger kid, putting him in a headlock as she ruffles his hair with his knuckles.
“You little fuck! I thought your ass was dead you little shit! Scared me half to death! I swore I saw the light!”. She snaps at him angrily, tightening her hold as he starts to choke. “I-I’m sorry! Please don’t kill me!”. Luffy breathes out, spazzing in her hold.
The Heart Pirate Captain finally catches up, looking at the two with a raised eyebrow. “The hell are you?”. (Y/n) asks the taller man, looking up at him. A thump goes through his whole body, strange. “Th-this is my friend!”. Luffy chokes out, now trying to pull her arm away. “No shit! Can’t believing you made a friend that isn’t some 30 year old guy!”. She says happily.
Law looks at his now turning blue friend, his cheeks reddening at the sign of his face so squished against her boob. “Hope this little turd hasn’t been too much of a pain in the ass”. She tells him, finally letting go of Luffy to let him fall to the ground. ‘Yes, he has been a giant pain in my fucking ass’. “No, not at all”. He responds. ‘Damn it!’.
She then hums, getting on her tippy toes and leans right up into his face. “Holy crap! You’re that Law guy! I heard about you! Your bounty is like crazy high at like 3,000,000,000 berries!”. She points out in shock. “Yeah! Isn’t he awesome!”. Luffy cheers, now back on his feet. “It is quite impressive, I must say”. She hums, holding her chin with her hand as she nods.
“Uh…th-thanks”. He mutters, gripping the brim of his hat to lower it to hide his slowly growing blush. ‘What’s with this woman? Why am I like this? Damn it!’. “So, whatchu up to these days?”. Luffy asks his older sister, the two turning to each other. “Oh ya know, just traveling around looking for anything to do! Probably doing the least to piss off the old man out of us kids”. She answers, leaning with her hand on her hip.
“How bout you? I’ve seen that your bounty has only been goin up so ya still trying to be King of the Pirates?”. She asks. “Yep! And it’s only gonna go up and I’m gonna be king!”. He responds happily. She chuckles at her little brother. “I believe it! Remember I’ve been your number one supporter since day one”. She reminds him, nudging his arms with her elbow.
She then turns back to the other captain, feeling an arrow go through his heart when her eyes meet his. “Mind if I hang with you guys for a while? Just for a bit, I wanna catch up with my baby brother”. She asks him oh so kindly. Law felt as if his heart stopped, chocking and spitting out his own spit. Luffy laughs at his reaction while his sister just stares.
She reaches into her bag and pulls out a handkerchief, holding it out to him. “Do you…need this?”. She asks nervously, never really seeing a guy act like this before in her life. “Uh…”. He takes the handkerchief from her, feeling the soft fabric on his fingers. “Thanks”. He thanks, raising it to clean his face. “Oh man! You should have seen your face!”. Luffy laughs at his older friend.
He holds the handkerchief back to her, her hand grazing his as she takes it back. Her finger tips are as soft as silk, her fingers smoothly sliding off his. Laws nose suddenly bursts, blood gushing out his nose like a hose. “Holy crap!”. The girl yelps, jumping back while Luffy bursts out laughing again. “Hahaha! Now you’re like Sanji!”. He laughs, holding his stomach from all his laughing.
(Y/n) looks at her brother with a concerned expression. “Is he uh…usually like this?”. She asks him. “Hehehe, nope!”. He simply answers. All Law can do it turn away from the two, his face a dark beet red. Never in his life has he been this embarrassed just because of some girl. (Y/n) leans over so she can whisper in Luffys ear. “Should I leave and we catch up a different time?”. She whisper asks him, causing the younger boy to turn and look at her.
“No no it’s fiiiine! Just give him a minute”. He reassures her. She hums as she leans away from her baby brother, then just to lean back over. “He said he acts like a friend of yours, what’s he like?”. She asks him. “Oh you mean Sanji? He usually acts like that around girls, he really likes girls”. Luffy answer. Oh…OH!!! Oh~. “Oh I see~”. She coos, leaning away from her little brother again.
“Huh? Get what?”. Luffy questions. (Y/n) then grabs Laws hand, gaining his attention and causing him to freeze in place. “So Law, are you here for long? Perhaps we can meet up and you can tell me some stories of dumb shit my baby brother has done?”. She asks him, sending him a little wink. His nose starts to bleed again, but he’s able to muster out a nod. “Cool! Now why don’t we go somewhere nice and chat!?”. She says happily, linking arms with her brother and dragging the two down the street.
Trafalgar Law, Died Age 26
Death By Blood Loss & Heart Attack Caused By Luffys Hot Older Sister

excerpt from the one where Steve lies about soulmates and the Winter Soldier does not:
“Somehow it never occurred to me to ask you how Rogers and the old man got along,” Tony Stark says, tilting his head. “You actually remember that? Like, how they talked and everything?”
“‘Course I do,” the asset says. “They got me to watch the door for them enough times, I damn well know how they talked.”
“You . . . heard that?” Rogers asks, looking alarmed.
“I heard every damn thing you said,” the asset snorts, pointing at its ear. “Super-soldier, remember? Couldn’t have missed a word.”
“Bucky, uh . . .” Rogers swallows, and doesn’t look at Tony Stark. “That’s not . . . you remember why you were watching the door, right?”
“Yeah,” the asset says, because it does.
“Okay,” Rogers says, very carefully. “So you remember why . . . you remember why we shouldn’t talk about those conversations, then, right?”
“. . . we shouldn’t?” The asset frowns, not understanding.
“No,” Rogers says. “We–definitely shouldn’t. So let’s just . . . not, please.”
“Holy shit, those must’ve been some fucked-up conversations,” Tony Stark says, his eyebrows raising. “Considering I have literally never heard you shut down your precious little Twin Pop before.”
“Just–not now, Tony, please,” Rogers says through gritted teeth, not taking his eyes off the asset. “You understand, Bucky, right? Just–please. Don’t.”
“Is this because I killed him?” the asset assumes, and Rogers’s face goes even tighter.
“No,” he says. “I–we know that wasn’t you.”
“It was, technically,” Tony Stark mutters.
“Tony," Rogers hisses.
“It was, technically,” the asset agrees. It knows that Rogers tries not to think about that fact, but . . . “He recognized me. I didn’t recognize him.”
“You wouldn’t have,” Rogers says, his voice going tight too.
“I recognized you,” the asset reminds him.
“That was–different,” Rogers says. “I mean . . . of course that was different.”
“Yeah, yeah, soulmate crap, whatever,” Tony Stark says, looking exasperated. “Very romantic, we’re all real impressed, congratulations on your century-spanning romance.”
Rogers tenses. The asset . . . frowns.
“What?” it says.
“Jesus,” Tony Stark says. “Have you two still not had that conversation?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” the asset says, still frowning.
“Cap, oh my God, tell the guy already,” Tony Stark says, shooting Rogers an annoyed look. “Everybody else on the planet knows, for fuck’s sake, someone’s gonna hit him with the clue by four sooner or later.”
“Stop talking, Tony,” Rogers says, his jaw clenched.
“What’s he talking about?” the asset asks, just a little suspicious.
“I thought–you were dead,” Rogers says, half-raising his hands in a position of surrender. “I thought you were dead. And I knew you wouldn’t . . . I knew you wouldn’t have minded, if you’d known.”
“What did you do?” the asset asks, narrowing its eyes.
“I told the twenty-first century we were soulmates,” Rogers mutters with a grimace.

🎉2k Celebration Headcanons🎉
Being Fukurodani’s Manager
⭐️ Manager Glow Up Edition ⭐️
Fukurodani x gender neutral manager
Warnings: none
A/N: This was the winning team and scenario for the 2k celebration headcanons! I apologize for taking literally 7 years to get this out but please accept my apologies 🥺
What a team to have a glow up in 😅
Honestly you do know who the teams ace is right Yn?
You wouldn’t be trying to steal Bokuto’s thunder now would you be 👀
I mean, even if you were, you’ve earned the right YN
You are the teams precious baby manager 🥹
Literally the teams pride and joy
You are a second year just like Akaashi and boy are you loved
Literally these boys and girls do anything and everything to protect their precious YN
Konoha has said several times that no one is good enough to breath the air of THEIR YN
Now you never really paid much mind to these idiots
Because, well you were busy with other things
Bokuto…. Always Bokuto 🙄
Anyways what I’m getting at is that you deserve so much YN
And thankfully I, your fairy godmother, am here to give it to you 🧚🏻♀️
You see, summer break is coming up and while the boys are busy practicing, you are busy doing other things 👀
You ended up taking a two week vacation to visit family, much to the contest of the team
Bokuto 👉🏻 cried like he was never going to see you again 😭
Akaashi 👉🏻 *internally screaming*
Kaori and Yukie 👉🏻 sad because now they have to deal with Bokuto for 2 whole weeks
Saru and Konoha 👉🏻 trying to figure out how to get you to stay
Washio and Komi 👉🏻 apologizing because they know you desperately need and deserve a break
Nevertheless, you manage to escape and head on your two week vacay
Bokuto texts you the entire time telling you how he misses you
Akaashi takes Bokutos phone and apologizes to you profusely for bothering you 📱
However while you are away, some things change 👀
It seems our sweet little Yn has had a massive glow up while away and boy am I excited 🤩
Now you really don’t think you’ve changed that much but trust me, you have
You changed your hair, got some new clothes, found a magic elixir to clear your skin
Heck I think you might have even grown YN 😱
Don’t come for me, I swear you kids grow like weeds when you are teens!
Whatever the case, you’ve definitely changed YN!
And oh boy I’m excited to see our favorite little owls reactions 😍
When you showed up to practice you walked in and immediately went about your business
Washio and Konoha 👉🏻😐🤨
They have no clue who you are
“Hey Akaashi did we get a new manager?”Kumi says coming up behind Akaashi
“I’ve never seen that person before. Maybe they’re lost?” Onaga adds
Akaashi studies you while Yukie and Kaori approach
“Hey do you know who that is?” Komi asks as the girls who look in your direction
Just as they look, it registers with Akaashi
Like a literal slap in the face, his brain has awoken!
Too bad he realizes too late to stop the riot that’s about to incite 🙃
“Wait is that-?” Konoha says, studying you
“Holy crap, YN???” Saru yells as you turn your head and smile at the team
“Oh hey guys,” you say 🥰👋🏻
Rip to Fukurodani, you’ve served us well 🫡
“YN?? Is that really you??” Komi questions, slowly approaching you like you might not be real
“Umm yes, I think so???” You say confused
Please they have you wondering if it’s actually you 😭
Because like why are they acting this way
“You’ve changed,” Washio says bluntly
“Oh yeah, I guess I’ve changed a little but it’s only been two weeks guys,” you say, confused and secretly planning your escape to look the mirror
“Wow YN, you look…” Yukie starts to say
But unfortunately, she didn’t get to finish because a certain someone interrupted
You see, a very important person was missing from the newly revealed YN
“HEY HEY HEY everybody! YN comes back today!!!” Bokuto screeches as he throws open the doors to the gym
Everyone just waits in silence because they all wanna see his reaction
“Hey Bo! I missed you!” You sing as Bokuto stops, studying you from head to toe
“Who are you?” He asks 🤨
You 👉🏻😐
Well now you really need to look in a mirror
“Bokuto, it’s YN,” Akaashi says coming up next to you
Bokuto rn 👉🏻😐🤨
“That’s not YN Akaashi,” Bokuto says staring at you
“It’s really Yn Bokuto,” Komi says coming up next to you
You 👉🏻🙂
Bokuto 👉🏻😐😑
“Very funny guys, great joke. I think I’d recognize my second favorite person in the entire world” Bokuto says, laughing as he walks past you
Sorry Yn, spot #1 is reserved for Akaashi 💅
You sigh, knowing exactly what to say to Bokuto
“Whose the best ace in the entire world?” You say, mentally rolling your eyes that it’s come to this
Bokuto stops and turns 👀
“Everyone knows that,” he says as you stand there, again rolling your eyes
“You’re better than Ushiwaka because you beat Tsukki like a million times in 2 on 2,” you say as Akaashi smirks
Bokuto 👉🏻😐😱
“HOLY CRAP YN??” he screams as you turn and smile
“That’s what made you realize it was Yn?” Konoha asks
“Yn you look so good!! Wait- why did you change?? YN did you get a partner??” Bokuto says, deflation eminent
Akaashi 👉🏻👀 YN choose your words carefully please I BEG
“Bo, no! I just needed a little a change. I’ll admit I didn’t think I changed that much but I guess I did!” You say, beaming as the entire team swoons over you
Literally they didn’t think you could get any cuter 🥰
However what Fukurodani fails to realize is that your glow up would affect more than just them…
You see, with the training camp coming up at Shinzen, a whole new problem arises
And you see, these dummies don’t realize how much your glow up will affect literally every other team at the camp
It actually doesnt register until they arrive at camp and get off the bus
And it actually hits Konoha first
He’s helping you unload the bus all while the other teams stand around, staring at you
Konoha rn 👉🏻😐🤨😳
Crap crap CRAP
“Akaashi! AKAASHI!” he whisper yells as Akaashi turns to look at him
“Look!” He says pointing to the gaggling bunch of guys staring at their amazing manager
Akaashi 👉🏻😐😳
Please Akaashi knows you can handle yourself but he is still so protective of you
I mean, you are literally a key to Bokuto’s success and those an irreplaceable member of the Fukurodani team
You continue to unload the bus, oblivious to the men now fuming behind you
Akashi and Konoha are GLARING at the guys staring at you
Tanaka and Noya have nothing on these two petty bbys
When you finally turn around, you sense the tension
“Hey what’s going on?” You say as Komi quickly pulls you away stating he needs help with some ridiculous task
“Wow YN really… changed?” Kuroo says smirking
“Stay away from YN, Kuroo…” Akashi growls as Konoha backs him up
Kuroo throws his hands up, smirking as he walks away 😏
As the camp progresses, you notice a lot of the boys being extremely nice and helpful
“Hey Yn let me carry that for you!” Tanaka says as you smile
“Oh thank you! You are such a sweetheart!” You say as Tanaka gushes 😍
Meanwhile, Washio is standing behind you, glaring at the bald spiker
Please these guys are all so protective of their bby yn 🥺
But it doesn’t stop there
“Watch out Yn!” Someone screams as you turn to see a ball flying at your head
You duck before the ball is immediately snatched up by Ogano, Shinzen’s captain
“Oh Ogano, thank you!” You say as he smiles at you, extending his hand to you
“You ok YN?” He asks as he pulls you up, hand lingering in yours
Akaashi, Komi and Saru instantly see you but their eyes don’t go to you oh no no no
rather to a certain owl haired boy 👀
Bokuto is watching your interaction with Ogano, confused as to why the other captain is so attentive to you
Bokuto has noticed the other teams paying extra attention to you as well
At first, he thought it was because you were so helpful but that couldn’t be it because the other managers were just as helpful
By then he notices how Ogano’s hand lingers longer in yours 😳
Akaashi, Komi and Saru rn 👉🏻👀🍿
But before anything can happen, you simply thank Ogano and walk away
Bokuto shook his head, a little confused but still thinking about your interaction with the other captain as well as the looks given by the other teams
“YN come practice with me!” Bokuto cries as you roll your eyes
“Bo, I need to help everyone else!” You say
“Actually taking Bokuto would be a big help YN,” Konoha says
“See YN- hey wait a minute?!?” Bokuto glares are Konoha
You 👉🏻😐🙄 come on Idiot
“Hey wait up!” Kuroo said, following you
You turn, seeing the giant captain running towards you as you beam at him
“Kuroo would you like to join us?” You say as Kuroo smirks
“Of course, I would never turn down the company of someone so pretty,” he says winking at you
You blush profusely as Bokuto glares at Kuroo
Please Akaashi is RUNNING 🏃♂️ Ukai Style 👇🏻
“Come on Yn! I’ll help you,” he says as he pulls you two towards the 3rd gym
Leaving Bokuto to GLARE daggers into Kuroo
During your practice, Tsukishima joins again, causing Bokuto even more grief
“Akaashi, have you noticed everyone staring at YN?” He finally asks
Akaashi knew this was coming but he’s cautious about how he answers it
“I mean, Bokuto haven’t you noticed?” Akaashi asks
Bokuto 👉🏻:D noticed what???
“Oh for gods sakes Bokuto, YN got like super hot!” Kuroo shouts, finally putting it out into the world for all the hear
Akaashi 👉🏻😐🤦🏻♂️
Kuroo 👉🏻😏
Tsukishima 👉🏻👀
You 👉🏻👁️👄👁️
Bokuto looks from you to Kuroo and back again
Then the lightbulb finally goes on
“OH MY GOD EVERYONE HAS BEEN HITTING ON YN!?!” he screams
“I mean do you really blame us Bokuto?” Kuroo asks
“WELL NO BUT STOP IT!” He shouts
“You want us to stop being nice to Yn? Sounds kind of mean Bokuto,” Kuroo says with a smirk
“THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT! AAAAKKKKAAAASSSHHHHHIIIIIII!” Bokuto screams as you sigh
“YN do me a favor please?” Akaashi asks before going to tame the untamable
“Sure Akaashi,” you respond sweetly
“Don’t have a glow up again until Bokuto graduates,” he says as you just nod
You 👉🏻🫡 aye aye captain
