it’s a pet peeve of mine to see people complaining about how Bam is a “simp” overly attached to Rachel. like, yeah, no shit he’s attached??? she is literally the only person he’s ever known at the start of the story. he was born in a fucking cave with nobody else. his life was rocks and Rachel, isolation can destroy a human, let alone growing up in it. she raised him, taught him, cared for him, fulfilled every social need he had for his entire life before promptly trying to ditch him. even more so, she intentionally manipulated him into staying in the cave and depending on her. she’s taken advantage of him time and time again for her own goals. she teaches him that betraying a girl (her) is unforgivable then repeatedly betrays him for nothing but her own benefit. Rachel wanted him to be unable to be independent and keeps tugging him along so Bam has to keep following her if he wants to learn anything about his past
he’s not a “stalker”, their relationship isn’t even hinted to be romantic, he’s just trying to understand her. he doesn’t even resent her until she hurts his friends. if your lifelong best friend pushed you off a cliff and sold you to a terrorist organization with no warning and explanation, wouldn’t YOU at least try to get some closure? he doesn’t forgive her at first because he’s “stupid” or even naïve, it’s because he’s been repeatedly abused
his primary character motivation is not wanting to be alone. he cares so much about the people around him and very little for himself since, again, abuse. I guess if you just don’t like that writing direction agree to disagree live your life but for people who think Bam’s just dumb or it’s a weird crush congrats on missing Literally The Entire Point
If you see this, may your week be fortunate! You're blessed with The Star now ✨
Arlene Grace as The Star, because, well, that correlates perfectly with Rachel's motivation 🤔
It hurts me to see Bam, such a kind person, filled with so much hate and anger towards someone. Even if that someone is White.
Bam: *limply hugging a pillow on his bed*
Khun: *lays next to Bam, hugging him* One of those days?
Bam, cuddling into Khun’s shoulder: Mhm.
Khun: It’s okay, I’m here for you.
Bam, mumbling with a smile as he closes his eyes: Thank you.
Khun: Of course.
