I am deeply fascinated by White's fear.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have no idea whatsoever why this boy believes he's dirty/filthy, or why he thinks Tee specifically would view him that way. The show has given us all but mere glimpses of his POV and none have managed to give me a concrete reason for it. But this is what makes it so interesting. Even with only 1 episode left, the writers can do wonders with this. Throughout the show, but especially in Ep11, we see White being pretty open about his attraction/love to Tee. He's the one who pursued him, who flirted with him, who went to visit him at his job everyday, who tutored him, who *kissed* him. Is this why he feels that way? It can't be, right? The boy is doing all this in public, it's not shame for his sexuality that's the issue. So, the other conclusion is that it's about sex. It makes him feel dirty, it makes him feel that *Tee* himself views him as dirty, even though he loves White and he loves having sex with White, something I'm sure White himself knows as well. Going back to Ep1, we do get some indication about White's fear, though it could be just me grasping at straws here:
1) During the first TeeWhite scene we got, White gets a hallucination of the masked murderer standing in the woods, watching them, while he's making out with Tee. He stops and says this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tee dismisses White's worries, saying everyone's inside the house so there's nobody to watch them, and White does this face:
Tumblr media
and needs a few seconds to get back into it after they start kissing again. 2) When they return to the others and Top asks them if they had sex, White's reaction is this:
Tumblr media
and later, when Top asks if he could participate too, White's reaction is this:
Tumblr media
White doesn't really show evident discomfort, but he doesn't show indifference either. The main argument in favor of that is the fact that he appeared in front of others like this:
Tumblr media
and after Top's comments, he is now like this:
Tumblr media
He fixed his T-shirt in order for it to be tucked away in his pants, something he didn't even intend to do before Top's comments. He became self-conscious. 3) When the gang go to the CCTV room to find out where Por has gone, they stumble upon the TeeWhite scene of them kissing on the balcony. White's reaction is this:
Tumblr media
which is followed, by this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and then, by this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
White looks incredibly out of his depth and ashamed, mainly due to Top's attitude which is why he glances at his direction more than once. It's the most evident example we get in the series. Also, I find Tee's words here interesting. He says "My little one will cry, change the camera", meaning he knows other people knowing more about their sex life makes White feel embarrassed. Just a small detail that makes me curious. I believe it's due to example 3 that White gets this hallucination later in Ep2:
Tumblr media
My main reason for this is the position. As many people have pointed out, it's at the place Tee mostly kissed him: his neck, spreading over his shoulder. All in all, I refuse to believe White is simply vain, especially since it's such a big fear of his that he has hallucinations about Tee feeling disgusted with him. It all just leaves me so puzzled. Just... White. Who are you?

Rewatching some scenes of Shinyu and Hongjo and i have to say their realtionship progression after they started dating in ep 11 is so well written i mean yes it is not perfect but it is near perfect for me.
Especially the fact that it is not only that they are in love with each other but there is desire/passion(sexual) in between them which is expressed not only by their actions but also by their words which imo many kdramas lack in that part. And i am glad that the writers didnt shy away in showing us the sexual tension between the couple in their realtionship.
And it is right from ep4 okay when shinyu was like "if it is not kiss that can break the curse then is it...?" Shinyu was down bad horny okay.
One more example is that noncon kiss in ep7. I mean yes that was problematic and he deserved to be punched. But he was eager to show his feelings and desire to hongjo and wanted to know how she felt about him. Also his imaginary kiss and bed scene
And most importantly this desire was mutual. Hongjo was attracted to him too. She very much gave into that kiss in ep6 but alas shinyu slept. She was frustrated. The next day she is like "you were terrible at it"
And it gets more interesting when start dating
They are comfortable enough to sleep in the same bed the same night they get into relationship. Hong jo very much wanted to be with him you can see how she was frustrated when he didnt come to her room. Also love the way Shinyu was testing the waters with the whole "if you say another word i wont stay still..." dialogue. See she was shy but not scared of it.
And throughout ep11 and ep12 we can see that their is a mutual sexual tension between them. Also i love how Hong jo is able to show her desire too. She actively asks kisses from him, tries to seduce him in his office which shows that being single all through her doesnt mean she has to be naive in the physical intimacy part of their relationship. Yes as her first time in a relationship she gets shy and giddy but she has desires and she is very much aware about it too.
About, their breakup, i know people were like there comes the noble idiocy of ep13 but i actually enjoyed it. It is the way they showcased their longing for each other. Particularly, when shinyu gets drunk. It is the way he hugged her, nuzzled into her neck and smelled her. He not only missed her emotionally but also missed their hugs and kisses. And same for hong jo too that little smile she gives before being sad again and the way she gave into that hug. She indulges him not only for him but also for herself.
And so for me their reunion was much more sweeter and earned because the curse is gone now the main barrier between their relationship.
That spiderman kiss on the couch. Many people are like hong jo got shy. But i personally felt that she (and him too btw) actually was so turned on at that point that if she hadnt stopped it would have escalated into some thing more and which wasnt good for shinyu since he was injured. Same when they were sleeping together, look at the way hong jo is smiling and shinyu's gaze lingers on her lips.
Now on to the main lovemaking scene. That was planned mutually by them okay i mean not verbally but they both knew what was gonna happen and they both wanted it. Their phone conversation says it all. Also the way he was like "take your time to change" and then she comes wearing his white shirt when could have wore any comfortable tshirt of his. They didnt knew it was gonna happen right at that moment but tgey knew they knew that this was the night. And i loved that because it was consensual and it wasnt just heat of the moment. It felt very much earned and sweeter.
And throughout ep16 we can see that how much they both enjoy the physical intimacy and are pretty much normal about it now. Him saying that he cannot sleep w/o her. She jumping on him taking charge. It all feels natural with them
Lastly, it also shows the contrast with the relationship shinyu had with nayeon. You see he never felt any attraction towards her that he never felt the need to even hold her hands.

Saudade
(n.) a nostalgic longing to be near again to something or someone that is distant, or that has been loved and then lost: "the love that remains"
It was a cloudy morning, signs of rain and stormy weather showing on the news cast as the town prepares for their day. The storm has been raging on for days that it’s become a usual thing for many residences that lived near the area, knowing that they are to dress up warm and to wear the proper clothes if they wish to stay dry for majority of the day. While everyone got ready for their day a certain man stayed indoors, doing his own work and focusing on his writing. He was a well known author who wrote many stories in the past but recently his inspiration had worn off, his mind drifting to other places and not being able to focus. He’s tried many things or ways to get ideas again but nothing ever came.
He used to write many stories, his mind filled with adventure and curiosity. He always explored new places, read new books or listened to peoples lives and used them for his own stories, molding it into something new for everyone to read. But as the years went he lost that feeling of excitement, the feeling of writing again all because of his own mistake. He stopped writing four years ago and tried to make changes in his life, moving out of his flat and finding a new place. He began to live with two other roommates who knew little about him but treated him with kindness and respect. They’ve convinced him many times to confound writing again, pushing him into picking up a pen and sitting him down in front of a blank page.
He spent days sitting in front of a blank page, nothing coming to mind as he focused more on the outside world, staring out the window as the rain poured down, the cold fogging up the window as he watched the trees sway in the wind. They reminded him so much of Fiddlers green, the meadow that brought him peace and happiness. He frowns to himself, shaking the thoughts away, it’s been four years since he’s visited the garden and he couldn’t go back. No matter how much he wanted too, he can’t.
With a sigh to himself, rubbing his face with his hands he closed the blank notebook in front of him, placing the ink pen on top. Another day with nothing, his roommates would be disappointed. He knows he was suppose to have something done by the end of the week, promising his roommates that he would give them a story but his promise was broken. He had nothing today and neither would he tomorrow. He instead focused on other things, making himself some breakfast and enjoying his time alone.
Well—not entirely alone, his roommates cat, Hansel, was keeping him company. The Siberian feline had grown attached to him, following him everywhere and rubbing up against his legs, nearly tripping him up a few times. Y/n didn’t mind the creature, he adored it but, there were times where Hansel got on his nerves and the cat was always pushing his buttons when he wasn’t in the mood. When he first moved in his roommate, Max, told him about the cat and asking if he was allergic or perhaps comfortable around animals.
Y/n smiled that day with a nod and letting max know that he was alright with being around Hansel, not feeling bothered at all. The creature sometimes reminded him of a specific someone who had the ability to take any shape or form, reminding him that dreams could be anything. The first day he spent around the cat he was anxious, his mind playing tricks on him as the creatures followed him everywhere. It took him some time to tell himself that the creature was nothing like ‘him’ and that he wouldn’t be coming back, guess animals easily attach to him.
He’s the one who serves Hansel their food in the mornings since he works from home. He didn’t mind the little extra chore he had to for his good friend. He sets his glass of water to the side and walks over to Hansels eating spot, bending down to pick up her dish and walking back to the kitchen as the cat followed him in silence, well behaved and sitting next to his feet as she patiently waits. Y/n makes sure to add the correct amount of food before placing the bowl back in spot and allowing the creature to eat. Before he could head back to his room he hears the door unlock, startling him as he raised a brow to see his other roommate, Missy, entering the flat.
“Fucking cold—“ she cursed, shaking her wet hair and slipping off her jacket. She’s drenched from head to toe. “What happened? I thought you went to work.” Y/n steps up to help her with the wet clothes, taking her wet jackets and shoes. “Yeah well,” Missy struggled with her socks. “The station is flooded and my stop never came, they closed the station due to the flood and I had to call in to work and let them know that I wouldn’t make it in time. I tried another route but the streets just got worse and—ugh—I just gave up and decided to come back home instead.” She explains, slumping against the door as Y/n brings her a towel.
��Good thing you did, your drenched and it’s best to have warm shower before you get sick.” He instructs. “I’ll put your clothes in the dryer while you go do that.” He didn’t expect the weather conditions to worsen, everyone hopes that it gets better by tomorrow.
“Thanks, Y/n.” She heads to the bathroom where she takes her warm shower while Y/n focused on making her something to eat in case she didn’t have time this morning. It felt nice helping around, he didn’t feel too lonely when he first moved out of his old place. He couldn’t stay there for too long. It was full of memories of ‘him’ and he’s trying to move on from things. The first few months were tough as he forced himself to stay awake and not sleep, he couldn’t end up back in the Dreaming not after everything. He wasn’t banished and still had free access to entering the realm but Y/n maintained his distance. So, at night if he were to ever dream he’d make sure that it’s not about the dreaming or anything related to it.
As a matter of fact it was a lot harder than he thought.
“You haven’t written anything?”
He’s startled by Missy’s voice, looking over his shoulder to see her wearing sweats and flipping through his notebook. He sighs to himself and turns off the stove. “I know I promised you and Max but I—“ He shakes his head. “I can’t write anymore, nothing comes to mind.”
Missy frowns, setting the notebook aside as she walks towards the kitchen, sitting on top of the counter and crossed her arms over her chest, watching him move around the kitchen and serving her a plate of food. “You told us that writing was your life—your gift.” She mumbled out. “So tell me, in all honest—what inspired you to write?”
Y/n is caught off guard by her question, the dish almost slipping from his hands before she caught it and held it away, her eye brows raised as she asks again. “What inspired you to write, y/n?”
Many things inspired him; his reading, the people he was with, Max’s cat, the weather or location, perhaps the dreaming too. But, he couldn’t tell her that, she wouldn’t believe him if he ever told her about the Dreaming and how Dream of the endless and him were sort of an item before he messed things up.
“Nothing, Missy. Nothing brought me inspiration.”
“Bullshit.”
“Missy—“
“Ever writer has a reason to write.”
Y/n shakes his head. “I stopped writing four years ago because things got complicated. I had so many ideas and thoughts—that I could write forever but their all gone. People change, Missy and maybe, writing isn’t something I can do anymore that I have to look for an alternate.” He exclaimed.
Missy’s shoulders sag, lowering the plate down in defeat. “Then what is your alternate.” She was desperate to know and wanted to help him. Y/n shrugs his shoulder in response. “I was thinking Art? Or maybe do some medical research, having Hansel around has gotten me interested in other animal that I could maybe study their anatomy or work as a vet.” He rambled out. Animals were another interest of his and could research about them all day. He wouldn’t mind getting his hands a little dirty or interacting with other creatures.
“A vet? Sweetie, I love you but a vet isn’t your thing. I’ve read your stories and writing is you, it describes who you are!” She hops off the counter, standing next to him as he focused on cleaning up the dishes. “Max and I both know that you have a story inside that little head of yours—“ she taps on his temple, causing him to smile a little. “I guess you aren’t ready to share it yet.” She sighs to herself, wrapping her arms around him and hugging him while he awkwardly washed the dishes. He’s grown used to her affection and touch and it was her way of showing others that she cared for them.
“Thank you, Missy. But, I just need time.”
Missy gives him a nod and lets him go, patting his shoulder before smiling. “Max texted and told me that he would be coming back early today too. Why don’t the three of us try and go out tonight? Maybe, get a drink.”
“In this weather?” Y/n questions with a raised brow, drying his hands on a towel as he turns around to face Missy, leaning back on the counter as she rolls her eyes. “Okay, maybe not today but we can make coffee here and just sit down and relax and watch a movie or we can gossip about my workers? I heard that the new girl was sleeping with my manager.” She whispers the last part.
Y/n laughs at her statement. “Alright, I’ll make coffee once Max gets back home and we can talk shit about your workers all day and watch movies too.” Missy cheers, throwing her hands up as she ran out of the kitchen and into the living room, he excitement freighting Hansel as she scurried away from the energetic women.
“Don’t forget your breakfast!” He calls out to her, reminding her to eat as the two wait for Max’s return from work. He shifts his gaze towards the window, the rain has calmed down but it was still windy and cold outside that even be, wouldn’t go outside without rushing back inside to keep himself warm. He can still hear the thunder clap in the skies, muffled by the walls that surround them and keep them safe.
Both he and Missy sat in the living room, watching a movie together as they waited. Missy would talk every once an awhile and point out stuff in the movie, groaning in displeasure when one of the characters did something she didn’t quiet like, the sound of her voice and the movie lure him into sleep. It was reaching noon but a small nap wouldn’t hurt. His eyes slowly close, letting sleep take over him as he drifts off. He didn’t expect himself to open his eyes and to be inside a familiar library.
He shouldn’t be here but yet, somehow he found his way here. After four years of not returning to the Dreaming he didn’t think he’d come back or accidentally return. He slowly comes to a stand, his hand placed against the bookshelf as he looks around. He doesn’t see or hear anyone and takes his chance to try and leave this place before he is caught. His fingers graze the shelves as he walks forward, keeping his steps quiet as he continued on.
The place felt like a maze, losing himself amongst various books as he tries to find a way out. It’s been years since he’s been here and changed have been made that he doesn’t quiet remember where to go. Before he can make another turn he hears a familiar voice.
“Lucienne.”
His blood runs cold, frozen in spot as he hears that familiar deep voice that he fell in love with. That same voice that would read him stories or poetry when he couldn’t sleep. He shakes the thoughts away, breathing heavily and in panic as he turns around frantically.
“Lucienne, are you here?”
He sounded near and he couldn’t be here. He tries to control his breathing. “Come on, wake up, wake up.” He whispers to himself, trying to find a way to wake up and to disappear from this place. His moving around quickly that he doesn’t notice a pile of books sitting on the floor that he trips over them, yelping in surprise as he stumbled down, knocking more books off the shelf’s. “Shit!” He sits up and moves the books off of him, coming to sit on his bottom as he removed more books.
“Lucienne—“
His looks up with a gasp, blue eyes locking with his as he stares with wide eyes. He doesn’t know what he’s thinking or doing but the panic jolts him awake. He’s jumping from the couch in panic, looking around frantically to see Missy and Max sitting at the dining table with surprised look on their faces. “You alright?” Max asks.
Y/n is breathing heavily and nods. “Yeah, just a nightmare.” He chuckled nervously, reaching up to push his hair back only to see a book in his hand. His breath hitched, taking notice that he’s accidentally taken a book from Luciennes library. He still couldn’t explain how he could do it but back then he was able to take any book from the dreaming back to the waking world with him. He didn’t mean for this to happen he was in shock and didn’t notice that he’d taken one of the books.
Sooner or later ‘he’ll’ come after him in order to get the book back. Y/n couldn’t deal with that right now, no he couldn’t. So, he rushed back into his room and opened his desk drawer, shoving the book inside and slamming it closed where he stands still, staring at the closed drawer before letting out a deep breath. If Morpheus were to come and get it then it’s best to deal with it later. Right now, he had other things to do. He returned back to the dinning room where Max stared at him with worry in his eyes. “You sure your alright? You woke up like someone was trying to kill you.” He chuckled out.
“Yeah, it’s just a nightmare.” Y/n chuckles back, rubbing his face and running his fingers through his messy hair. “I haven’t had one in years so, I guess I got a little scared.” He admits, afraid of seeing the King of Dreams again after promising that he wouldn’t.
“Well—anyways!” Missy claps her hands together. “It’s stopped raining, so why don’t we go get those drinks?”
Y/n groans. “Missy it’s cold outside, do you really want to go outside right now?”
“Yes and you can’t stop me.” Missy smirks, walking to her own room to get something warm on. “You know she always wins.” Max reminds him, slipping his own coat on as Y/n groans to himself. “Yeah she does.”
The three were able to make it across town without any trouble, finding an open bar that they enter and spend their time sitting in a booth as Missy gossiped about her work, saying how one caused a bit mess that she had to fix while another embarrassed her in front of her higher uppers. Both he and Max would sit back and listen, drink in hand as his index finger circled around the ring, nodding along to Missy’s stories.
“Anyways, He caught her cheating in the ladies room with some other guy and all hell broke loose. Their was yelling and fighting that we had to kick them out.” She giggled, half drunk as she sips her drink. “What about you, Y/n?”
“What about me?”
“Any rumors or stories that you’ve heard of lately? Perhaps some love in your life?” She grins to herself as Y/n shifts uncomfortably in his seat, clearing his throat. “No.” He focused on his drink and takes a sip, his body language giving him away as Missy gasped, slamming her hand down. “You do!”
“Missy, calm down.” Max tries to keep her down but she swats his hands. “Hush, tell me!” She points at Y/n who sets his drink down, nervously tapping his finger against the glass. “It’s not important.”
“If not then why are you nervous?” He was like an open book to her that she could easily read. Missy was a scary women to mess with and she knew everything and will get what she wants one way or another. He knows that he can’t win this argument no matter how hard he tried.
“I had someone four years ago before we ended things. It was technically my fault, I let my insecurities get to me and ruined what we had.” He breaths out.
“Why did you end things?” Max asked, intrigued to know too.
“He—“ How exactly was he suppose to tell them that he dated an Endless while he was just a normal human or mortal. “He was an important person, someone that many people knew. His family and siblings are the same they all have their duties and roles to fulfill. It didn’t bother me at first how I was just a simple writer trying to find my way through life—he showed me many things and helped me. I guess you could say that he was my inspiration.” His eyes glance up to Missy who stares back with sadness in her eyes.
“We were briefly engaged and I was happy, excited actually but,” he frowns. “I started to think about his past lovers, they too, were important and better than me. They’ve done so much for him that I couldn’t do and I just felt like I wouldn’t reach that level and allowed my thoughts and doubts to take over. So, I ended things with him and our engagement ended.” His finger tapped the table, avoiding their gazes as he down his drink.
When he sets his cup down, Missy bursts out into tears. “Why would you think that?” She sobs out. Max awkwardly handing her napkins as she takes them. “Your obviously the best and he wouldn’t have asked you to marry him for something so stupid!”
Y/n blinks, opening and closing his mouth. “Missy—“
“No!” She slams her hands down, startling the two. “You will go find him and make up!”
“Missy that was four years ago, he’s probably moved on.” Y/n tells her.
“How did he react when you broke it off?” Her voice is firm as she raised a brow, tears wiped away as she glared at him. “You could say he was a little upset.” He shrugs his shoulders. Morpheus didn’t really say anything when he broke it off, all he did was give him the ring while the King of dreams stared down at it with no words.
Missy continued to cry at the tragedy, both Y/n and Max knew that Missy would get emotional when drinking. The two already knew how to handle it but today was a bit difficult since the focus was on him and not on something else. “I think that’s enough for today.” Max takes Missy’s drink, sliding it to the side as he helps her stand. “Come on.”
“No!” Missy shakes her head. “I won’t go until Y/n makes up with his fiancé.” The writer rolls his eyes, helping her stand and taking her bag with him. “Let’s get you to bed.” He mumbled, ignoring her words as the two drag her outside into the cold weather, she shivers and clings onto Max.
“I don’t think will make it back home with her like this, maybe we can stay at a hotel for tonight?” Y/n suggest while Max agrees. “I’ll get a cab and take her to a hotel, you can head home.”
“Wait, are you sure?” Y/n felt guilty leaving Max alone with Missy. The two get along well but Missy wasn’t so great when she’s drunk. “Please, Y/n I’ve dealt with her like this for years I think I can handle it.” He chuckled at him as he holds her upright. “You go ahead will call in the morning.”
Y/n hesitates and gives Max a nod as he calls a cab, he gives his friends one last look and reminds max to call in the morning before getting inside the cab and riding back home. He sighs deeply, leaning his head against the window as the driver takes him home, arriving after a few minutes and paying the man as he steps out of the vehicle. When heading inside his apartment he doesn’t take notice of the raven perched on his balcony, watching him closely as he enters the building.
Once he’s inside he closes the door behind him, removing his coat and hanging it up. He also kicks his shoes off and makes his way towards his bedroom where he tossed his phone on the bed. A familiar meow gets his attention as he looks over to see Hansel sitting by his doorway. “Right.” He walks back out of his room to feed the cat his last meal of the day.
“Sorry bud.” He whispers, serving the cat more water and food. “Max won’t be coming home tonight, he got stuck with Missy.” He strokes the cats head, earning a purr in return as he smiles to himself, coming back to a stand from his crouched position as he turns around to head back to his room. When he enters he turns to close the door until a tap is heard against his window, causing him to look over.
He steps forward to see a black raven standing outside his window, beak tapping the window again. He stopped in his steps, staring at the raven that he remembers very well. The same raven that’ll follow him everywhere and talk about some nonsense or try to keep a decent conversation. Before he could do anything he feels a familiar presence, one that he knew too well.
His back faced him, eyes closed as he exhaled nervously. He opened his eyes again and turns around to see Morpheus standing in his bedroom, his hands in his coat pockets as he stares him down. His expression is blank and can’t tell what the man is thinking.
“Hello, Morpheus.” He says softly, avoiding his piercing blue eyes as he focused his attention in anything else but him.
“Y/n.” His voice is still the same as he remembers, deep and soft but also soothing and comfortable. “You have something that belongs to me.” The Dream lord goes straight to the point and Y/n knows that he’s not here for a social meeting.
“Right.” Y/n mumbled to himself, walking to his desk and pulling the first drawer open where the book is stored away. He pulls it out and closed the drawer behind him, swallowing nervously as he turns around to hold the book out to Morpheus. The dream lord himself takes the book in his own hand, their fingers touching. Y/‘n is the first to pull away, taking a step back.
“I didn’t mean to take your book from the dreaming since I am no longer welcomed.”
“Your always welcomed into the dreaming.” Morpheus interrupts, hand gripping the book as he stares at the writer.
Y/n shakes his head. “I know I am but decide not to.” The tension between them is strong, making it hard for either of them to speak.
“You should make up!”
Missy’s words repeat in his head, he knows that making up won’t fix anything and neither would an apology but he had no choice but to speak up about how he felt. He wanted Morpheus to know how sorry he was for breaking the Endless heart or maybe the dream lord himself had already forgotten their love and moved on.
“Im sorry for everything and I know my apology won’t do much. I just wanted to let you know that what I did isn’t your fault.” He could feel Morpheus stare. “What I did was terrible and I blame myself, I let my doubt and thoughts get to me and did a terrible thing to you and I understand if you hate me—“
“I don’t hate you.”
Y/n looks into his eyes a hint of shame and sadness at his own words. Y/n gives him a sad smile. “You should.”
Morpheus takes a step forward. “My hatred is something I will not give towards you.”
“I broke us apart, because of me we couldn’t get married. I just couldn’t stop thinking about us and asking myself why. Why did you fall in love with someone like me? A human, a mortal who couldn’t be by your side. Why choose me when you could have anyone that could give you what I can’t?” He’s looking at Morpheus, letting him know how he really felt during their time together. Yes, he was happy to be with someone and happy to know that he could have a future but his doubts started to flood his mind, fearing taking over him and asking himself, why? Why him out of everyone. Morpheus could be with a goddess or perhaps someone with the same equal as him. But instead he choose him, a mere human.
Y/n was too distracted in his own thought that he doesn’t notice Morpheus stepping closer, setting the book aside as they stood toe to toe. His breath warm as he speaks. “I choose you because you showed me a feeling that I never thought I’d ever feel again.”
“And what feeling was that?” Y/n whispers.
Morpheus leans forward, pressing their foreheads together as he breaths him in. “Love.”
Y/n wants to break down, wants to take everything back and start over. But, he doesn’t know if Morpheus would want to do the same thing, for all he knew the Endless could have moved on already after four years. He feels his warm hand cup the nap of his neck, holding him in place, touching him again after years of being apart.
“You were what filled my blank pages.” Y/n whimpers, closing his eyes as he holds back tears as Morpheus continued. “I loved you from the day I heard your stories, stories that brought many dreamers together. I admit that I loved others before you but what we had is something far more extraordinary than ever.”
Y/n didn’t know what to say, afraid of saying something that’ll ruin this moment. Afraid of saying something that’ll push Morpheus away. “I don’t—“ He feels the dream lord shake his head, whispering more words to him. “Come back to the dreaming.” His words pull a gasp from Y/n, pulling away to look at him properly. “Morpheus I don’t—“ He bites the inside of his cheek, nervous again. “What if I mess up again?”
“You won’t.” Morpheus reassured him, suddenly remembering Luciennes words about change and second chances. He gave gault another chance to becoming a dream and not a nightmare, he’s willing to give Y/n another chance to make things right.
“Someone once told me that second chances is something that everyone needs and I’m willing to do that.” The Dream lord takes hold of Y/n’s hand into his own. “We can both give each other a second chance.”
Y/n sniffles, his thumb stroking the top of Morpheus palm. He inhaled sharply. “Are you sure?” He asks, as much as he wanted to give this another chance he still wanted Morpheus’ thoughts about their relationship. Everything was so unexpected but now that they’ve talked things through and allowed their feelings to spill he can’t help but feel a weight get lift off his shoulders. Hd felt lighter now that he let Morpheus know about his doubts and fears, fears that Morpheus understood.
Morpheus takes another step forward, their chests brushing up against each other as the King of dreams and nightmares pulls him close, placing a soft kiss on the top of his head as he mumbled out. “I want you by my side in the dreaming and as my consort.” His voice is a small whisper as Y/n hears his words, giving a small nod. “Then I shall stay by your side.”
Y/n was sitting in front of the window, notebook in hand as he the wrote across the pages. The stories he had filled the empty spaces, hand cramping but not stopping until he’s gotten the last few details in. He’s distracted by his writing that he doesn’t feel Missy standing over him until she speaks up. “You’re writing.”
He’s startled by her voice, slamming the notebook shut. “Shit, you scared me.”
“You’re writing.” She points out again.
“Yes and?” He raised a brow.
“Let me read.”
“What—no!”
“Let me read!” Missy launched after the notebook, he’s quick to pull it out of her reach, stumbling away from the window as Missy jumps on his back, legs wrapped around his torso as she reached up for the notebook. “Get off!” Y/n struggles to shove her off, walking around the living room. It wasn’t until Max comes back home, groaning to himself. “Can’t I come home without you two trying to kill each other?”
“Max! Get the fucking notebook! He’s writing again!” Missy shouts, yelling as she’s thrown off and onto the couch. “Wait he’s writing again?” Max is quick to get involved, rushing over to snatch the notebook. “Not you too!” The notebook is taken from his hands, caught off guard when Max takes it and flips through the pages.
“Read it out loud!” Missy shouts, attaching herself to Y/n’s back, holding him back from taking the notebook. “What—don’t, it’s not finished!” He groans out.
Max steps back, grinning widely as his eyes skin through the pages, reading the words. He doesn’t read out loud, instead he reads to himself as his mischievous grin softens into a smile. “I said out loud!” Missy screams out again.
Instead, Max closes the notebook and smiles at him. “I think it’s a wonderful story.” He holds it back out for Y/n to take, after he throws Missy off his shoulders he takes the notebook back and holds it to his chest. “No one can read it until it’s finished.” He states out.
“That’s bullshit! Max got a little sneak peek, why can’t I?!”
Max chuckles. “It’s best to read it after he’s done, it’s good so far and I’m very interested to know more about this character if you’re.” He air quotes, causing y/n to blush. “Anyways, like Max said you both can read it when it’s finished now, if you’ll excuse me I have to go to bed.” He rushed to his room, slamming the door behind him and locking it. He sighs to himself and sets the notebook on his desk.
“Your friends seem eager to know what you are writing.”
Y/n looks over his shoulder to see Morpheus standing near his bed a knowing smile on his face. It’s been six months since they’ve given their relationship a second try, taking things at their own pace again before he accepts Morpheus’ proposal again. “You would know, Dream of the endless. It’s possible that you got an exclusive look into my story since it’s not published yet.”
Luciennes library contained many books that have or haven’t been written yet. The dreaming library contained it all and wouldn’t be surprised if Morpheus had read it already. The dream lord chuckles, coming to sit on his bed. “I actually haven’t read it yet.” He admits.
“I was hoping that you would read it to me, like old times.” Y/n smiles in return, walking to sit next to him as he hums. “How about the first chapter—I’m making you wait too.” It wouldn’t be fair that Morpheus would have the first listen into his new book and not his friends.
“Very well, my love.” Morpheus leans close. “I’ll allow the first chapter.”
Y/n smiles, leaning against Dreams shoulder and staring out the window where Matthew stood.
“A tourist in the waking world, who was never quite awake, no gentle word could wake then up from their slumber until they realized it was you who held them under…”

Ep11- Quick Thoughts
hmmmmm... Where do I start?
As usual spoilers ahead, please be warned.
This episode fell a little below the usual level of enjoyment for me. I guess, they are still trying to keep some stuff for the finale, but instead of hyping me up for it, it kind of gave the opposite effect.
TeeWhite
This episode gave us TeeWhite's story and they're super cute but I couldn't really enjoy their moment when the show basically tried (emphasis on 'tried' as I'm still holding out hope) to crush my hopes of an alive Non. (Please don't fail me show!)
Tee
We're shown how shitty Tee's life was. Since ep9, I could feel that Tee's backstory would be tragic, we were shown glimpses of it in the earlier episodes, but I didn't expect the lines he uttered this episode. I guess, the writers wanted us to see that Tee just wanted to be a normal teen- to have friends, go to school, but instead he had to work to make ends meet and take care of his Dad. Even to the point that he felt he's being his Dad's Dad.
The scene with Tee and his Dad was heartbreaking. A kid whose childhood was ripped away from him as he's forced to grow up fast and shoulder responsibility will always pull at my heartstrings.
White
So... White is indeed just white. He's just an innocent civilian caught in the crossfire.
Phee
Hmmmm... I guess all I can say for him this episode is that, he really is the typical hero. Kind of weird to have one in a slasher but...
It's just that, I had hoped the plot holes in ep10 were actually intentional but I guess they're just plot holes and inconsistencies. (Still trying to hold out hope for the finale but I'm not expecting anything much at this point).
New/Tan
We finally got how much Non's disappearance affected New from New himself. We already knew the things that happened to New in the past 2 years since Non disappeared but aside from his attempt at inhaling too much of his concoction we never really hear him talk about how great his loss was. He really had nothing left to lose. This trip was really a do or die for him.
Non
I just want to give him a hug through the screen. He just suffered so much and for what? His questions to Tee were all on point. Why was he targetted? Why was he bullied to that extent? What did he do to deserve it?
We could see how his words also affected Tee, how the guilt of everything he did to Non was already creeping up on him. But what's the use of Tee's guilt now? Non's life was already in shambles.
It was really sad to watch Non slowly losing hope. How he looked like he just stopped trying to live. And it was doubly sad to know that he thought his family didn't care about him. That to them he was just a loser that always get into trouble and he's nothing like his golden child older brother. (Oh, Non, if you only knew how your brother raised hell to find you!)
It just really hurts how he thought no one loved him.
Do I still think that Non is alive after this episode? Yes, I'm still holding out hope. (Once a clown, always a clown... and that letter was cryptic!).
Will I be disappointed if he isn't? Not really. At this point, I have lowered my expectations of the show. With this episode, I'm now accepting that some inconsistencies could just be plot holes and production errors and not an elaborate scheme to a grand reveal of sorts.
Do I still expect a twist in the finale? Maybe, but I'm not expecting it anymore. I feel like the show's gearing up to give an ending where some of the boys will get their redemption and not punishment.

rewatching TOH pt2: I’ve seen some arguments about how the final season bent back over to coddle Luz and how it felt like she had everything to gain and nothing to lose, and the counterarguments that “not every end needs to be doom and gloom to be good.” I mean, I get where the latter is coming from; there’s too much media out there obsessed with angst because oooh realism but I still find myself siding with the first opinion, because the show makes a point of calling out the Chosen One trope, and there was a significant amount of screentime dedicated to Luz stressing about having to choose between Earth (real world) and Boiling Isles (fantasy land) only for her to get both anyway, and become the chosen one. It feels like the Luz we started the show with is the same Luz with whom we ended the show. And like, having to lose/sacrifice something doesn’t necessarily make the ending sad yk? Maybe bittersweet but not necessarily bad.
What really cemented this for me was s1ep11/Sense and Insensitivity, where Luz mentions that she was aware that becoming a witch on Earth was impossible, so her runner up dream was to become a writer and I wish that was how the series ended---Luz choosing to stay with her mom before the gateway between both worlds is destroyed, thus choosing the real world with all its dread and dullness, but realizes that doesn’t mean she has to become dull too. Instead she channels her creativity and love for magic through writing and shares the stories of the heroes of the Boiling Isles. In a way she does get both real life and fantasy but it feels like she actually grew up. And she herself says in s2ep13/Any Sport in a Storm (after finding out Azura’s writer was human after all): “Some times it’s nice to be reminded that you don’t need to be a powerful ancient witch to make something special.” 
I’m gonna get a bit fanfic-y here but I like to imagine her on her first book signing/reading/whatever in the epilogue. In the first page she dedicates the book to her father, with whom she found her love for magic and books, to her mother, the kindest and most patient mom anyone could ask for, and finally to the Owl Lady and her magical friends who helped find her real ambition and grow into the person she has become today. A bright-eyed child asks if the Owl Lady, Amity, and King are really real, which Luz answers vaguely, with a distant but affectionate gaze.
Move on to the Boiling Isles and everything they need to show us about how it changed including the reformed schools of magic, and end with Amity walking by the beach where she discovers what resembles the human trash Eda used to collect (and maybe Tibbles picking through it to find his next scam). Among these is a book, its cover art a dramatic witch duel between somewhat familiar face, and it reminds her of all these years ago when she first found the Azura series. Unlike that series, however, this book is signed by a name she knows very well. 
Boom happy where everyone finds their place in life and is doing what they love and even though it’s sad that they separated you still have an open ending that gives hope for the gang finding each other again.
Idk I just think it’s a shame ep11 is the only episode where we see Luz’s passion towards writing fantasy (rather than just reading or dreaming about it), besides maybe teasing starting a writing club with Amity in s2e13. If not to foreshadow where her future was headed, the whole episode was kinda pointless since the episode right before this one where King manipulates a half-transformed Eda could’ve already served the purpose of bringing to light King’s tendency to step over others for his Demon King fantasies (but he gets away with it scot-free because Eda conveniently turns a blind eye every time Luz or King do her dirty lmao) so why do we need 2 of those in a row? Tbh there’s too many King-focused eps towards the second half of the show when I’d rather there was more time dedicated to seeing Luz actually learning magic. Why’s there 3 episodes between the episode where she gets signed up for school and the one where she actually has her first day? So much for a magical girl show.

hi elle! first of all, i loooove your analyses and i've been checking your blog religiously after ep7 so i can calm down about the shitshow that is raymew...
now that i'm calmer, i have a few thoughts as a film major with a screenwriting obsession: according to one of the most well-known and accepted versions of the three-act narrative structure, we can say that the thatcar.mp3 blowing up was the halfway point of the story (ep6 of 12) where shit starts hitting the fan for real.
and the fallout of it is raymew: the false victory/defeat that usually occurs before we build up the actual climax. which will probably blow up in 11 because this is a thai bl and spill into 12 bc of what first said abt khao's intense scene in 12. and also you can't just have a whole-hour ep as an epilogue, especially in a series as messy (affectionate) as this.
i'm kinda done theorizing plotlines bc raymew fucking blindsided me, i didn't think they would actually go there. but looking at it as a false defeat (for sand and top) and a false victory (for ray and mew) it makes such perfect sense that as upset as i still am, i'm also kinda amazed at how brilliant the writers were for this...
so i have no idea what the actual climax is going to be, or how we'll get there, but i'm pretty confident about a sandray endgame from a narrative standpoint. i don't think that endgame is gonna be particularly healthy or happy, but i think it's gonna be pretty hopeful, if still somewhat ambigious.
(also on that note: i kinda love that jojo et al. are using the fixed pair concept to move the narrative along without spending a lot of time establishing the ships in the series (as angry as i am about the lack of sandray scenes lately...). we know that forcebook (topmew) and firstkhao (sandray) are likely ending up together, so they can introduce as much mess as they can into the story without fucking them up for good. i think it's a pretty genius way of subverting but also honoring the genre tropes we've come to know and love.
anyway, i'm done now klsdmgk keep up the brilliant work!!!
Hi Fen! That is so sweet of you! Honestly made my day. I’m trying to stay hopeful, mostly because so many people in the fandom seem to be in a very hopeless state right now over SandRay, but I still firmly believe it can work out between them. The way forward is rocky, but there is a way forward nonetheless.
I know Thai BLs have a tendency to let shit hit the fan in Ep11 and then clean it up in Ep12, and while I also fully expect that to be the case here, I hope that doesn’t mean they’ll rush through the resolution. I mean I would take an hour-long episode of SandRay: Adventures in Chiang Mai, but realistically I don’t think we’ll see much future stuff.
I’m thinking the climax for each couple will be much more personal—as in, within the pairs themselves rather than outside of them. So for SandRay this could be Ray’s addiction and commitment issues, etc. (It could have to do with Sand’s ex, but I think the bulk of that conflict will pass before Ep12). For TopMew, this could be about trust, with Top possibly making some grand gesture to win Mew back over, or Top demonstrating his love for Mew by saving Mew from himself (similar to next ep?)? For BostonNick, it could be Boston realizing his feelings for Nick and trying to win him back over, only to realize that Nick helped Mew get the sex tapes from Gap? Or that Nick really has moved on. Idk, I’m just brainstorming at this point, because yeah, after RayMew happened, I genuinely have no idea what to expect.
Side note, but I have a hunch Khao’s best scene in Ep12 is some sort of a mental breakdown? Maybe something similar to what we saw in Ep4. It’s got to be highly emotional to compete with the funeral scene in MLC. Maybe it’s Ray confronting his mother’s death again, but this time it’s Sand who pulls him out of his despair? Who knows.
Interesting point about how Jojo is using the established pairs…I really hope it is the case that FK and FB’s pairings make it out alive and all of this RayMew stuff is just for dramatics and will soon pass. That is the one negative to watching shows as they air (aside from the grueling wait between eps): I wish I knew how the couples will turn out so I don’t get my hopes up for nothing.
Also, because I know this is a hard time for all of us, I wanna say that my DMs and Ask box are always open! If we’re going to suffer, at least we can all do it together lol. <3

Top 5 Sentences or paragraphs you have written! 😊 or if that is too hard top 5 stories you’ve written! 🖋
Ok so I tried, I really tried, but I just couldn't do it haha, top sentences or even top paragraphs was too hard! So I just had to go with my top 5 stories instead...
music is not in the notes, but in the silence between them
This is the longest story I've ever written, I honestly never thought I could write long-form fics, I always got bored or discouraged or ran out of steam/ideas. I thought I wasn't cut out to be a writer really because I didn't have the drive.
This fic taught me that I had been wrong all along and all I need was a little encouragement and someone to talk through my blocks with. The potential was there, I just needed a little help. Plus I'm always gonna have a special place in my heart for my dancing babies.
The Supreme Art of War Is to Subdue the Enemy Without Fighting
It's definitely not my most popular but I really enjoyed writing this, I liked doing the research and finding out more about the history behind it, even if it's by no means comprehensive.
Someone pointed out on my Space AU with that fic and this, that I've created a "enemies find themselves in a quiet oasis and end up together against all odds" genre for my fics and actually I realised they're exactly right. I think what I love about enemies-to-lovers stories is that they all stem from that idea that if we could all just free ourselves from stereotypes and prejudices, there could be whole lot more love and understanding in the world.
I know no other way of loving but this
Ok, but I love this little angst fest, it was non-canonical within an hour of me posting it and ok, I know I had a feeling that P'Aof was clowning us with the ending of ep11, but I couldn't resist a 'what if', what if these boys really had broken up, what if they'd really separated themselves until the end of uni, what if this was the first time they saw each other again? I can't resist the feels, my friends, I just really can't.
A Soft Boy in Soft Sweaters
Ahhhh this fic. I'd only been writing again for a few weeks after years of writing nothing but marketing copy and crappy magazine articles when I started this fic. It was meant to be small, a couple of thousand words at most, and inspired by my realisation that practically every piece of clothing Pran owns is tactile, it's made to be touched. I think it was maybe a decision to show that he is the softer of the two, the more emotionally vulnerable one, but I couldn't help but equate it with Pat's extreme tactileness and well, a little headcanon was born and couldn't be stopped.
And as has become a theme with all my bad buddy fics, the damn thing just get growing haha, although now 5k is pretty tame compared to what I'm usually churning out, at the time it was a pretty big milestone for me.
He's No Romeo, or A Himbo's Brain Finally Catches Up With Itself
My first ever fic for this fandom. My first ever fic for years and I still love it, I love how ridiculously oblivious Pat is and I love that I actually wasn't that far off when his oh moment was gonna be. I wrote this as wishful thinking, never once believing we'd get a realisation this simple but then we got it and more. This show really broke every mould and I am exceedingly grateful for it.
Ahh oops, I rambled quite a lot on these... I hope you found it a little bit interesting at least! Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to your ask, I hope you don't mind <3

I know people say we shouldn't baby buck too much,but that scene in that truck seemed super out of place with all those L and Chim comments. Like Chim has worked with her a few times, since when does he have this level of comfort and banter with her to say that? I'm kind of tired of those jokes too, they only seem to be directed at Buck as far as I remember 🤷. The only reaction that wasn't out of place was Bobby's reaction to the thing from ep11. I guess that's what happens when you introduce a character in #that way and everyone hates her so you have to cut out 90% of her scenes. The familial banter doesn't translate
Listen, I am SO pissed about that truck scene I can't even. What TF was 5x05 all about, or literally everything about Buck’s arc if everyone, including Buck, is totally chill just casually joking about how if he makes a mistake he’s the one getting kicked out of the family because they prefer the new girl. Like?!?!?!?! WHAT?!?! Buck literally sued the city because they taped Lena’s last name over his and he felt like he was getting kicked out of the family. He got into a pissing contest with Eddie because he thought the crew all liked him better. And yes, Buck has grown, but we JUST saw in 5x05 him thinking it was his fault the team was so fractured so he was going to leave because he’s currently still working through those abandonment issues. Hell his arc in season 5 was about clinging to a relationship and a person that made him miserable and was the anthesis of everything he needed in a partner because he didn’t want to lose anyone else. So to end the season trying to keep pushing this pointless character by having everyone agree that they like her more than Buck was such a slap in the face to his character. But knowing that KR wrote and directed the episode I can’t say I’m surprised. She’s proven time and time again she’s willing to throw his character under the bus to push her self-insert characters. Evan Buckley deserves better.
And look, we’ve all stumbled across fics where everyone in Buck’s life is just so mean to him and then have to grovel when he almost dies, OR where he can’t take a step without at least thee people holding his hand. So yeah, there are some people who are willing to demonize everyone to baby Buck, or turn him into someone who can’t do a single thing by himself. But that doesn’t mean that ANY discussion of Buck’s feelings, especially on choices made by the people in his life that directly affect him, is “babying” him. It’s not “babying” Buck to point out that his ENTIRE character arc is about abandonment issues, feeling like a ghost in his own life, feeling like no matter how hard he tries he’s never enough for people to want to keep him around and the first time he makes a mistake, they are going to leave him. 
That conversation literally hit so hard on something that is a keystone of Buck’s arc and KR played it for a cheap joke to push a character that wasn’t needed that she wedged in anyway, and she’s pissed everyone hated. 
I doubt we’ll hear a big announcement about it if it does happen, but I am manifesting her no longer being the co-showrunner. And look, she’s not a totally terrible writer for the show! She’s written episodes with great moments and funny dialogue! I even enjoyed a lot of the finale as an episode unto itself (fun for a filler episode, but terrible as a finale). But if season 5 has shown us anything it’s that she’s not good at pacing like, at ALL. Which is fine! Not everyone is cut out to do every job. I’m not saying she should be fired from the show, I’m saying she’s proven she’s not great at being a showrunner, and her idea of what the show should be is clearly not the same as what the show used to be, or what made it stand out from other shows and made people fall in love with it. And that’s not just me hating on the season, that is all the articles and reviews that mention the pacing issues, it’s the mess that multiple people associated with the show including KR herself said 5a was, it’s the over a million viewers the show has dropped, it’s everyone talking so much about “what happened to the show, it doesn’t feel like the show I fell in love with” on SM that they released a promo for 5b specifically talking about getting back to the way the show used to be! Something has to change, and since we know what changed initially that made the show Like This, hopefully they re-evaluate that.

WTF helicopter bj? Out of nowhere ? Rip kinnporche. They probably didn't write script for them they be dead. I try so hard not to cringe 😬 but what can I do if the writers hate them? Ep11 really be doing it's magic ig.
But since it's 14eps they'll dragging kp corpse for another fallout but at that point no will care abt it unless someone gets shot for sympathy again. Guess it's really a lakorn.
It all went down hill when bigg died ( tho it was struggling before that i just mark his death to be a crucial part of Kinn and the consequences of wanting love but also power but also showing he really cares abt his bodyguards, loyalty, freedom, unrequited feelings, sacrifice) . I hope the fandom who agrees with this does a funeral for bigg and a moment of silence for whatever kinnporche had in the beginning.
Wegath and pete carrying the show for me. But it was so fast like wegath is already giggling. I'll take wt I can get because of the hedgehog and that tharntype war pill 💊 flashbacks.
I be giving advice on how to fix this show but whatever, they shat so hard for me to even care abt fixing it.
Look, no one watches a show for the titular characters and their relationship that was all of the trailer... oh. wait.
Yeah, I no longer care about them. At all. Just... nope. Both of them could vanish from the show and my entire response would be a sigh of relief.
Now, you made it longer than I did. I started to struggle a while back, a lot longer than when Big died and, frankly, the first date with them all giggly and goofy was the first time my heart truly sank. Because that moment was so completely disconnected from the rest of the show that is was like a death knell.
And despite a few reasonable moments... they never came back from that for me. That took all their depth away just lost the plot and none of it ever came back. They half-heartedly tried but every try as almost instantly undone.
Big definitely deserves a funeral and he deserves mourning and the fact that the show just shrugged its shoulders and moved on is just... painful. Really? Nothing? Yes, characters in a mafia show are going to die but part of the mafia is supposedly loyalty. But not here! Nope! Instead we forget the people who sacrifice themselves for us and move on to blowjobs in helicopters! Wheeeee.
The idea that Kinn remembers Pete because he gets a text message from Pete asking to go visit his grandmother and that's... that's the payoff for him forgetting? That's it and no one cares and Porsche even tells him not to worry? That is the other moment I will never forgive this show because that's just so fucking over the top and stupid. Like, really? I'd rather Kinn just not remember. That would have been better.
Vegas and Pete are the best parts of the show now. They have depth and complexity and growth and you can see how they're shaping each other and changing each other and how the characteristics we saw in the past are coming into play now. It's so good. We get to see past the surface for both of them and it's everything I wanted. Would I like it a wee bit slower? Sure. But I'm also okay with this because, frankly, the more time we get with them the better.
I also adore the hedgehog but that cage needs to be bigger. I hope Pete can help Vegas learn about how to keep a pet... in multiple ways.

I think the way Lovely Writer teased this episode out was incredibly effective. Instead of foregrounding the firestorm happening, they just focused on Nubsib and Gene living their lives, being boyfriends, trying to ignore all the bullshit. But eventually, little by little, the outside starts to invade their bubble. I think that's far more realistic than having it all blow up at once. That steady drip drip and knowing that they have been just trying to ignore it all makes Gene's decision make a lot more sense. They must have been under an incredible amount of pressure for a period of time, add in Bua and Tam and he just cracked.
I also really appreciate that Tum and Hin tried to protect them.

I decided to hold off on Ep. 11 of Lovely Writer until next Tuesday because we all knew it was going to hurt. I have zero interest in sitting with that for more than a day, tops.
Based on the pure-sadness GIFs flooding my dash now…

Elle..do we know anything about sandray endgame in the OF novel? ‘Cause atp i am 🥲✨SCARED✨
What is happening?? Ofts was going fine up until ep10 and ✨ep11✨ happens. What is jojo thinking?Why did they add Boeing in the penultimate episode. This should have happened during the halloween episode. Then this might have added much more sense.
Boeing: ep10:going after topmew;ep11:going after sandray;ep12:potentially going after boston(if the preview is correct) LIKE WTF IS THIS??!!
1. I am happy for bostonnick with whatever is going on for them(but i wanted an open relationship for them)
2. Topmew topmew topmew I have so many things to say about them like i am happy mew gave him another chance. (Not to make this about me But my ex was a cheater and i gave them a chance though we were happy most of the time i was paranoid if they might cheat again and it didnt end well..so this might be a ‘me’ problem)
3. Cheum babied him just like that, the girl who judges everyone and their mama for everything doesnt feel like what atom said and did is probelmatic????!!! Boston might have gone to jail!!!!
4. SANDRAY. Oh i am trying to collect proper words to write about them.. 💕BOYFRIENDS 💕they are painfully in love with each other😭 but sand baby ily i really do but wtf happened to youu!!i know you might have some lingering feelings about boeing(🤮)and thats okay but dont send away ray your BOYFRIEND and then go and talk to boeing(🤮)
OMG WHERE IS THIS GOING???HOW IS EP12 GONNA END??WE HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS TO SOLVE!!ARE WE REALLY GETTING SEASON2???ATP I AM NOT GONNA BE HAPPY WITH AN OPEN ENDING FOR SANDRAY I NEED NEED NEED HAPPY HAPPY BOYFRIEND SANDRAY
Unpopular opinion:they should have ended this with ep10 if they wanted to add boeing in the last 2 episodes
I am really so sorry for ranting so much i wanted to vent my anger somewhere🙏🙏
Love you lots!!❤️
I do not know anything about the novel besides a few snippets I've seen translated, but those are all of scenes we've already seen in the series. And I'm glad for that, because even though the anticipation is killing me, getting spoiled would honestly ruin the whole experience for me (and so close to the end would be heartbreaking).
I have to think that Jojo and the rest of the crew/writers know that adding an ex, particularly at the end of a series, is very common and--imo--is almost always a needless way of stirring up drama. The TopBoeingMew conflict was resolved fairly early in the ep, and I wasn't at all surprised with the way Boeing pursued Sand, but Sand's reaction still bothers me. I take it the writers are using the BoeingSandRay plot to 1) create conflict in SandRay's relationship after they've already resolved their other issues and 2) connect that conflict to Sand personally, seeing as many of the conflicts in SandRay's relationship have been from Ray's side of things.
It's certainly an interesting approach to use Sand's reaction to Boeing as further proof that he doesn't know how to no to people, even those that have hurt him most. While it's true that he didn't reciprocate Boeing's advances or say anything to suggest he was all for them, he also just allowed it to happen. Given what Boeing did to him and the state of his relationship with Ray, I find this behavior just generally odd. It's not entirely out of character, but...it is to some degree.
I'm pleasantly surprised that Nick is portrayed as way less pathetic in his relationship with Boston now. Yes, he was eager to get back with Boston last episode, but he's not groveling at his feet the way he was before. He even expresses hesitation over being in a relationship with Boston when he's going to move away soon. Interested to see if that dynamic will remain consistent or if Boeing will screw things up. (Also, about Cheum, I'm also quite frustrated that she brushes Atom's behavior to the side like it's nothing. Like that was a serious accusation people. Why are we acting like it's nothing??)
I'm glad we got that scene of Top crying to Mew and the discussion of paranoia and distrust in their relationship. I think they've established some healthy communication in the wake of Top's betrayal. This is a personal thing, and it's a valid reaction, but something about Mew's behavior towards Top at the beginning of the episode was incredibly annoying to me. First of all, using Boeing to make Top jealous is just stooping to Top's level, so I'm glad Mew quickly moved on from that. But something about Mew's expressions when talking to Top strike me as so entitled. Mew as a character rubs me the wrong way more often than not, and I'm tempted to say it's all because of that sense of entitlement just ebbing off of him at all times. He's justified in being angry at Top, but every time he's onscreen I can't help but get annoyed.
Prayer circle for happy boyfriends SandRay in the finale!! I'm a bit scared but still hopeful that once this Boeing mess is sorted out, they'll be okay. They were just fine until he came back, which tells me that once he's removed from the situation, they'll go back to being happy and in love. I choose to believe the best. 😊🥲 <3
