For me, kisses and sex feel so good when I do it with someone I have feelings for

top had to do a lot of things to get mew to even consider giving him another chance, and all boston did was give his phone to nick, showing him that he has nick's half-naked picture after fucking him as his lock screen wallpaper. that boy is something else entirely

Why did Nick's goodbye affect Boston that way?

I think it's hard or jarring to understand why Boston felt like he was coming undone listening to Nick when the most stuff they did was just f**king. The thing is even if they were doing the nasty 80% of the time, that 80% was when Boston was the happiest. And Nick did LOVE him, like love him. And I mean of course what Nick did wasn't just stalker-ish, it was what stalkers do!!! BUT, I think what happened is that neither of them is completely mentally A-OKAY... They both have their issues and Boston especially has always shunned connections, especially long-lasting ones, because he knows he'll leave and that is just burdensome, so he treats everything as use and throw, hurting so many people in the process.... And I don't know, but I'm speculating he also treats the concept of LOVE similarly, probably after watching his parents, coupled with the fact that Boston uses both himself and others with sex as a currency in exchange for something like a good time, a power play, a way of feeling good about himself, a trade-off, a way to obtain conquests, which at the END OF THE DAY makes Boston extremely lonely... He is a human and you can't avoid connections just like that... BUT NOBODY SEES/OR SAW THE HUMAN BOSTON, not the evil, villainous slutty, assholey Boston, but also the artist Boston, the humane Boston underneath..... UNTIL MR. NICHOLAS ARRIVES.

And I'm very intrigued by Nick's character too, I wish we got some backstory... But Nick as we can see is very naive, very impulsive, and introspective but strangely and foolishly thinks that he is clever... He has abandonment issues, and self-esteem issues too... But what he has that Boston never had was EMPATHY, intense EMPATHY, or clinically illegal empathy, with which he sees the world. And he in his own warped mind accepts Boston, good, bad, and ugly, and even if to Boston they were just FWB, those times he spends with Nick are enjoyable, happy, pleasurable (in a different, not exactly sexual way) unknowingly allowing Nick to burrow under his skin. And even though Nick loves Boston, most assuredly, still he does feel upset too... And we saw that when he told Mew about Gap... But the thing is Nick feels things deeply, more deeply than the others, and in a way he is softer, gentler, and more straightforward than probably anyone Boston has ever known.

And before Boston could even comprehend what had happened in his strictly FWB relationship with Nick, he was ALREADY ATTACHED TO him. He never considered that he would be the one pining for something other than sex, but he did, and that's why Nick's betrayal seemed so drastic for him. Because he genuinely was becoming fond of Nick. But Boston would never have acted on this feeling, instead choosing to bury it away IF NICK HADN'T GIVEN HIS FINAL GOODBYE MONOLOGUE TO HIM.

Nick changed the trajectory of their relationship. THE FIRST PERSON TO SAY SORRY TO BOSTON. To say that I appreciate you, I think you're not a terrible person even if you think so, and I appreciate your dreams and hope you achieve them one day and I love-you-enough-to-let -you-go.... And finally goodbye my lover, I wish you nothing but the best, shook Boston because not only was Nick brave, he was vulnerable, he owned up to his mistakes and he affirmed that yes, you made me happy and I see you, all of you and I still love you. It broke Boston to be 'loved' at all, but in this way by a man, he cheated on and broke his heart.... Also, I want to add, that a lot of people make fun of how Nick eavesdropped on other of Boston's hookups but poetically it is so ironic because in that moment Nick was actually grounding Boston away from another one of his meaningless hook-ups, stopping him from running away from his actual thoughts and processes... And what was very interesting was it was Nick apologizing and bidding him farewell, but it was Boston who couldn't meet his eyes. I would also like to add, that honesty is Boston's saving grace, something we also see in Nicholas in episode 9, like two peas in a pod.

Lastly, I think all credit goes to Mark and Neo for fleshing out such complex, selfish, almost-criminal characters with such finesse, humanity, and vulnerability with so little screentime.

[cornflowershade]

had new thoughts since my liveblog. (literally just gonna paste it all in verbatim the way i wrote it out to @distant-screaming)

[during Ray's Speech] i was wondering for a moment why Ray was so mean to Nick specifically (because what he said to Nick wouldn't really hurt Boston) and then it occurred to me how Sand had made clear that it was Nick who took the Cursed Recording. So I think perhaps Ray was being that hard on him for that reason. Because he's sick of all these sneaky people. What he said to Nick almost felt like the worst thing in that whole scene. Ray was like No, you are Not an innocent bystander.

Also, on this specific line... thinking about how sad the darkroom scene [from earlier this SAME EPISODE] is (like I said in my liveblog, it's Nick standing up for himself for once, trying to leave, and then getting dragged back by Boston against his better judgement). So not only is Nick looking hurt bc of what Ray is saying (like he needs to hear all over again what a bad choice Boston is, he knows and it already hurts) but I wonder if he's also feeling kinda ashamed in that moment bc of HOW the darkroom thing went down.

BRING IN BOEING RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, FUCK!!

Honestly wat a ride!!

Mew

Man, Mew is one scary motherfucker!! He had Boston on his knees lmaoo, and that's after punching him and almost playing his sextape TO HIS FATHER!!

Book ate this ngl. Power moves left and right. The true MVP for 2 weeks straight. But after this high comes the crash, jumping into a relationship with ur best friend who is madly in love with you so soon after getting cheated on is not the win he seems to think it is.

Also, reputation era mew dresses like Ray lol.

Ray

Speaking of Ray, man you apologized to EVERYONE except SAND, the one u called a whore?the one who followed u and saved your life? Look at your life and your choices, boy...

He's been waiting for Mew to give him a chance for so long, he's obviously gonna take it lol. But feel like it's gonna hurt him in the long run.

Finally,we met Daddy Ray!!didn't think it would happen!! Thinking he's gonna play a bigger part in the coming eps, esp with Sand..

Raymew getting together now right now is gonna destroy them both. Mew has not dealt with any of the baggage yet. And he has this idea of "no more mister nice guy/boring virgin" so feel like Ray's addiction is gonna play a bigger part in their "relationship" now.Mew is gonna wanna "let loose" and we see the police in the preview.

Ray is basking in the glory of "getting" Mew, he's obviously gonna celebrate with drinks and drugs.

A shame cos, him denying he's an alcoholic to Sand, i thought we'd finally see some discussion on his dependence and abuse, but NOPE, NOT TODAY, why can't I have nice things?

In the preview, we see him interrupting Sand's hookup AGAIN. Hope we get some conflict in the Sandray dynamic. I want some pushback from Sand.

Sand

Babygirl I love you. You're so sexy, don't do this urself haha...

I was hoping that Ray's dad paid him to look after him and that's why he's immediately all buddy buddy with ray. Since the scene kinda cut out, I'm still holding out hope for it to be true.

I can kinda see him agreeing to it like, oh this guy already thinks im just a whore, why not get paid??

But he did say he doesn't see money in love and friendship. I remember First saying that Sand has to deal with his all his feelings alone in the series and it just makes me feel sad for him.BRING BOEING BACK ALREADY!!

in the future eps, I want to see Ray absolutely obsessed with Sand and being soo pathetic about him. Like foaming at the mouth over Sand talking to Boeing anyone.

On the fence about their endgame tho. I love firstkhao but this ain't healthy man, my heart is hurting. Do Not take the fall for Ray next week, pls!! I'm on my knees here kinda like boston

NICKY BOY

My other baby girl, imma give you like one more ep to cry over Boston, then u gotta move on, c'mon son!

Also, interesting how he didn't reveal it was Sand who gave the sex audio to Boston, but immediately told Mew about Gap, the weirdo. Like, That was Life Ruining Info™ and he just gave it away lol.

Boston

Well, well,well,how the turntables...

Neo is killing it, i don't know if anyone else would be able to pull off Boston so well.

Kitty seemingly lost his claws this week,but he's waiting for a chance to pounce alright. He's just licking his wounds for now. But, all of the mewkarma was so satisfying.

Top

Broooo, he's sobbing all alone in his bed, thinking about past dates. Honestly i cackled like a witch.

No more Mr.Top Tier then?

I expect more grovelling and begging from him, maybe then he'll become more interesting to me idk

Am I sad, being a huge Bostonnick girlie? Sure, but:

Sometimes a bittersweet ending is the most beautiful one.

Faith, hope and love, fellow Bostonnick enthusiasts. Thanks for the great ride! 🩵

Boston x Nick x Dan (and/or Boeing or literally anyone else, I don't care)

Look, I don't know if it's just because I love my little wiretapper with heart of gold (or at least, like... silver. bronze. tin?) and want him to have all his options, but my OT3 in Only Friends is officially Nick/Boston/a copy of The Ethical Slut. COME ON GUYS LET YOUR CHARACTER GROWTH BE 'SLUTTING AROUND BUT 95% LESS ANGST ABOUT IT.' The window is rapidly closing on this and the temporary boyfriend thing is fine/sweet. I don't hate it. But hear me out. Boeing, having struck out in his quest to fuck things up with Sand and Ray, moves on to Boston and Nick like those aliens in Independence Day that bounce from planet to planet ravaging everything.

Does he draw energy from this? Is he just really bored? Just kidding, I don't care why this is happening.

Anyway, he shows Boston something ✨shocking✨about Nick, like, I don't know, a picture of him with Dan? Whatever.

And Boston is just like, uh huh, we hook up most Thursdays. Want me to send you a calendar invite?

This would be both funny and hot and I think it would be good for everyone. Allow me to elaborate:

Dan: When he first showed up, I was like, ah, boss, older guy, watch out Nick!! But turns out Nick's the heartbreaker and Dan's the shyer, less-experienced sweetheart. He deserves to go a little wild. The whole experience will be slightly bewildering to him but he'll have a great time and look back on it fondly for the rest of his life.

Nick: Already covered. Nick is perfect and deserves whoever he wants. Moving on.

Boston: Boston gets to continue being a slut in a protected environment where people will stop fucking trying to blackmail him. Dan's a cinnamon roll, so no worries there, and Nick can handle vetting anyone else they invite over. Boston needs an executive assistant for his sex life and I believe Nick has the requisite skills.

Boeing: I think this only happens once, but Nick and Boston can stage an elaborate fake break-up melodrama for his benefit afterward, which can satisfy Boeing's inexplicable need to fuck something up so he can Independence Day off to another friend group. Ray will be grateful Boston provided the distraction to keep Boeing away from Sand, paving the way for Boston and Ray to reconcile. (This is the kind of squaring the circle genius you get from mentally plotting too much fanfic, you're welcome.)

In conclusion, none of this will happen but I'm still holding out a little hope for a surprisingly low-drama, mutally enjoyable NickBostonBoeing threesome, because that would also be funny.

nick decided to take ‘be gay and do crime’ a little too seriously

in relation to this tweet from Jojo, which I love - I’m amazed by the number of posts I’ve seen suggesting that Nick is an innocent victim of manipulation from Boston. no one is saying Boston isn’t messy as fuck, but he’s been so clear about his feelings and what he is/isn’t looking for. he’s told Nick multiple times that while their relationship might develop in the future, he is only interested in casual sex for now - and Nick has willingly agreed to this kind of casual, non-exclusive relationship. Boston has absolutely no obligation to be ‘faithful’ to Nick, or to tell him which of his friends he’s attracted to. Nick wanting things to be different doesn’t make it so.

violating privacy and boundaries is clearly a theme with Nick - he expresses interest in Boston by leaving suggestive photos on Boston’s phone, having already gone through (and jerked off to) Boston’s personal pictures. bugging his car takes it a step further.

(I think there’s something to be said about the way Boston’s promiscuity and open sexuality seems to make his right to privacy seem trivial or less important than that of someone more reserved - it’s fine that Nick jerked off to Boston’s personal photos, because Boston slept with him after; Nick only secretly recoded Boston having sex because Boston led him on; Boston’s a whore, so it doesn’t matter, he was asking for it… but that’s a post for another day)

this isn’t to say that Boston is an innocent victim of Nick’s behaviour either - my point is that categorising them simply as Manipulator and Victim is reductive to the complexity of both characters. they’re both interesting, fucked up, flawed people, and that’s what makes them compelling as characters - and what makes it fun to watch as they make each other worse.

#i know i’m biased as a self confessed boston apologist #but when i say things like ‘bostons never done anything wrong in his life ever’ that’s a joke. it’s a bit. #i know he has done many many things wrong in his life ever #and i assumed. that when people said it about nick. it was also a bit #but then so many of the replies to this tweet were like ‘okay but he’s still a victim.. bostons still a manipulative predator…’ #like some of u are serious?! #anyway i said i was staying out of only friends meta/discourse but i guess i lied #only friends #only friends the series #jojo tichakorn #boston only friends #boston ofts #nick ofts #bostonnick #darcey.txt

[thisautistic]

this may be an unpopular opinion but i think nick deserves to have more than one boyfriend. i think he deserves 3. 5. 20 if he wants...

when Boston's almost-hookup called Nick dramatic I suddenly remembered all the times Boston said he hated drama. Guess he doesn't hate drama anymore guys.

#ofts boston #only friends the series #nick ofts #only friends ep 9 #ofts #bostonnick #happy ending for these two?? #also that speech made me tearing up

[laesas]

Sand, Nick and Mew should unionise and form their own little chaos cuck club.

#and by that i mean they should fuck #probably ruin Top and Boston's lives after but they should fuck first at least once that's the priority #only friends the series #sand ofts #nick ofts #mew ofts #P'Jojo toxic homosexual polyamory can be exchanged for the undying love and adoration of your dyke sisters-in-arms #plzzzzz
