From A Negative Perspective, Magenta Can Promote Depression And Despair In Some, And Prevent Others From

The sincerity of this just punched me in the gut. Dayeol is not even mad about the poor treatment he received from Taehyun.

He rather sees the boy with trust issues and just wishes that Taehyun learns to open his heart one day.

As if that isn't pure love right there. To understand and try to move on, while wishing them the best. With genuine intentions.

Dayeol had every right to be angry but he chose not to.

Vice Versa The series could have easily gone wrong with the cliché character tropes. Puen being the rich, famous, handsome, go-getter bad boy & Talay being a struggling professional, socially awkward, ball of sunshine who fixes the bad boy.

While the characters easily fit into the tropes, it's the little details that make them more realistic & non-stereotypical.

Puen is everything like the bad boy, except he isn't. He is polite, likeable, hard-working & overall a sweet guy. He should have slipped into a negative spiral after losing his fame overnight & turning into a struggling scriptwriter.

Ironically, it's not the success that gets to his head but the absence of it. He was probably overworked & lonely in real life. He must have had a misconception that life without fame was going to be easy. He goes haywire when he turns into Pakorn, an average boy with no eyes on him. However, he receives Talay's criticism well. He owns up to his wrongdoings & tries to fix them. He learns that this life is his chance to have all the friendships & love he yearned for, so he must handle it with care.

Talay is struggling with job interviews & awkward around new people. But he is not lonely, he has a fairly active social life. He is passionate & workaholic. He doesn't seem like a pessimist, but he doesn't seem like the eternal optimist who believes in fairytale endings either.

Talay is KNOWS the right time to have fun. Instead of living a rich spoilt brat life like Tess, he chooses to be responsible & fix the body owner's life.

He is helpful, responsible & sensitive towards others feelings. At the same time he is not the kind who will shy away from tough conversations. So even if Puen melts from seeing Talay being all goofy & child like, Talay is anything but unicorns & rainbows. Both the leads come with their own sets of strengths & weaknesses.

What is interesting about their romance is that both of them claim to have never dated. And it's surprising that Puen is the one who believes in love despite being in a position where he must have encountered people after his wealth, fame & looks. Meanwhile Talay is the cynical one.

Puen courageously opens his heart. Despite being the go-getter who flirts aggressively, he is extremely gentle. He is trying to understand Talay & help him tear down his walls instead of intruding.

On the other hand Talay is also learning that love does not feel demanding to the one who is experiencing it. He is gradually making space for Puen in his life, developing feelings & attachment while struggling to accept it.

Instead of healing each other, the two are embarking on a journey of understanding each other, following their hearts and coping with their own emotional baggage to prevent their insecurities hurting the other person. (Lol at least I hope so considering the progress until Ep 3 🥲🥲🥲🥲) Because we saw Talay making Puen realise that he can't escape hardwork in any life & Puen trying to make Talay come to a conclusion that love is not supposed to hurt or distract you.

Edit : guess who got clowned from ep4 🤡

You. You're still single.

Is it clear that I'm flirting with you?

Just because we have clothes on, doesn't mean we didn't have sex.

Why'd you hit me?// You were sleeping showing your abs// You teased me

no i dont think women starving themselves and reconstructing their entire faces with makeup and plastic surgery is feminism and female empowerment

Ok I don’t have much thoughts on Victor and Yakov’s relationship and who Victor learnt this from but I feel like he learnt more by being more invested in how he presents himself. So when he choreographed for Yuri he had a vision and felt no one could style better than he himself. I feel like Victor always had neat parted hair that’s neatly falling on his forehead through the show and he’s always got this sass and charm which draws his fans to him.

But most of the anime shows Yuri’s struggle with self belief & how he learns to be more confident through Victor. So I think it’s reflected in how Yuri always has his hair down & it’s just free, not really gelled or styled unless he’s performing ? And i would like to think Victor brushing & gelling his hair before the show is more of a way to calm him down?

Victor too is on a journey of learning how to motivate his student & teach him to believe in his own abilities. Perhaps by gently brushing his hair he’s trying to calm down Yuri by telling him to breathe slowly and focus on feeling his touch on his hair? Maybe he’s saying some positive affirmations, or trying to divert Yuri’s attention? And also it’s best that Yuri is with him the whole time before the performance & let him do it rather than do it himself or be with a random stylist when his anxiety is at its peak.

Yuri and Victor hug or hold hands a lot to convey their feelings or support, so it is also probably his way of reassuring “Yuri, relax, I’m right here by your side” we also see Victor helping Yuri with his skates a lot before the show, and it feels like a way of constantly reminding Yuri “I’m here. Right here by your side. I’ll never let you go”

It could also be trust Yuri is putting in him? Like going “I’ll trust the vision you have for my costume”

At various points in the show we see that although Victor can be quite savage about practice or winning there are many subtle hints about him being soft for Yuri. Like the time he was patient when Yuri was refusing to tear down his walls, or how he was surprised & probably a bit relieved when he learnt Yuri had forgotten what he did when drunk at the banquet (no bcs he literally took a break to come hit on this man & after so so long learns Yuri has no memory of anything😂)

But overall to me this moment feels like something really soft these two have on their relationship be it as a couple or as student-coach.

So we see that Viktor is the one that does Yuuri’s hair (at least some of the time) because of that photo during the credits, and that makes me wonder, who does Yuri’s hair?? Braiding is somewhat difficult, especially so tightly and far up on the head, so it doesn’t make much sense for Yuri to do his own hair when he already needs to be concerned about competing.

I therefore propose two possibilities:

1.) Some of the time, it is Viktor that does it. He had long hair for quite a while and knows how to take care of it. He and Yuri know each other well. Yuri, for all of his grumbling, genuinely respects Viktor and his talents, as we see through his insistence that Viktor choreograph his program and return to Russia to coach him. I feel it’s quite reasonable that Viktor would be trusted to do his hair.

2.) It’s Yakov. Yakov, the old man with no children of his own, who pours his heart and soul into the skaters in his care. Viktor’s family is (at least to me) likely not in the picture, and Viktor grew up spending incredible amounts of time with his coach. Viktor is talkative and affectionate and his relationship with Yakov reveals quite a deep bond — Yakov may have been the one to style Viktor’s hair before competitions as there was no one else to do it for him. When Vitya leaves and he has another young skater to look after, it makes sense that these skills would transfer over. He’d be the one standing at Yuri’s back, carefully parting his hair into sections and ensuring he is presented as best as he can be. Viktor ties Yuuri’s skates as if preparing his soldier for battle — what if Yakov’s version is styling their hair?

Puen & Talay falling for each other & not at the same time is so bittersweet.

They've practically grown attached to the person they don't entirely know even after a year together.

Puen knows Talay's dreams as a colorist, that he dislikes all but bacon pink. He has a sweet tooth. Plays guitar. Sings well. He's very sincere and serious when it comes to people & emotions. But he doesn't know why he gives mixed signals to his obvious flirting. Why he's so determined to push him away. He has no clue why such a ball of sunshine is cynical about love. Puen knows a lot about Talay's details like name & birthday. The fact that his entire life as "Tun" has started revolving around Talay isn't helping him at all. The possible reason he's keeping secrets I've mentioned here.

Talay can't accept a person he doesn't know. He has seen Puen be his most vulnerable self. Sure he might be confident, independent & flirty. But ultimately he's just a clingy baby around Talay. He's playful, lively. There's hardly any dull moment with him. Talay finds himself naturally drawn to him. He subconsciously observes everything this "Tun" does.

But the guessing game hurts. Sure, he's falling for "Tun" the playful, clingy & sensitive boy at his core. But how can he accept someone whose name he doesn't know. How will he find him once they go back. What will he do if they don't go back to together. If he's going to date, he's not going to waste time unless they're in it for the long run. And that also means Talay needing preparation to adjust to Puen's schedules & fame.

Communication can solve the problem. However the problem is also their fear of losing each other after initiating the difficult conversation. This is a classic trope for falling for a best friend except, they do not fall under any label at this point.

Vice Versa series ep 1 headcanon

Imagine Puen getting out of the airport with that white bucket hat & getting photographed by paparazzi😭

And once he & Talay return from the parallel world as lovers, start adjusting back into their original lives.

A time will come where their relationship becomes official & known to the world.

AND THEN IMAGINE Puen repeatedly wearing that white hat & telling in interviews that he wears it coz his lover drew that alpaca which looks like a lama.

A reminder that this beautiful scene exists 😭

Puen falls in love with Talay thrice - A theory

We know Pakorn was had a crush on Tess who seemed to be oblivious about it, 

what if Puen after switching bodies with him is naturally attracted to even before knowing it's Talay in Tess body because Tun's heart in his body already yearns for Tess.

And we know Tess is oblivious so Talay doesn't really feel anything in first glance until they get to know each other.

So basically Puen is double whipped. Towards Tess that Pakorn's heart wants but Tess is now actually Talay, his real world crush. 🙃

The first time was in the real world.

The second time was Pakorn's heart confusing him on seeing Tess.

The third time is when he learns Tess is actually Talay, who is a very caring ball of sunshine.

Why I will never get over Tian and Phupha

And no, its not because its outside the usual university/office context. (well yes it adds to the reason but hear me out).

Classic Thai BL is how a rich boy with issues meets poor boy with a big heart who gives him confidence to open his heart again. Jealous ex, old girl crush, second lead, poorly shown confusion about ones sexuality…. But this one? Almost none of it.

Well poor boy rich boy yes & no. Tian is a rich boy who is having a tough time coping with the prospect of death. He was not heartbroken from an ex…. he was genuinely frustrated from having no goals, a comfortable life with little room to aspire for more, no clue of his interests. And then he knows he might just die one day before he even gets to 30. Then one fine day Torfun’s unfortunate death saves his life. He feels burdended with guilt. A horrible guilt to live with. There was this young woman, with hopes, dreams, a desire to do good for the village kids. Because of his parents connections & wealth he not only cuts the line but also gets to prolong a life he was living aimlessly. Unhappily.

But now for the first time in his life, guilt it may be, drives him to actually do something. The near death experience pushes him to try something new & seek something in this second life that was bestowed upon him. Also notice how it’s not poor boy teaches rich boy there is so much to live for. Tian finds a reason to keep going by himself. Phupha was a sweet bonus on the side that made out worthwhile for him to stick around in a remote place (and as a city kid let me tell you living in such remote places semi permanently is hard for us. It’s a 360 degree lifestyle change)

And idk if it is Tian or Mix but he has this firm yet gentle feminine charatcter about him. He is just a little bratty with Phupa to get his attention. He doesn’t wait like the princess to be pursued, he initiates. But when hints are thrown at him he shows he picks on them and still plays just a little hard to get.

Also Phupha. Earth just does it so well as a reserved masculine lead 😂 but even then, him caring for Tian seems more of a protective instinct. It feels like at first he had this prejudice knowing who Tian is, that he wouldn’t be able to bear hardships. However at the same time he’s hit with the fact just how attractive he finds this man. Sure he must have given up on dating after being heartbroken losing his father…. But think about it. He’s near the border. Few colleagues & families in the village. There was Torfun. He knew she liked him. Although not explicit he was probably gay & could not afford to come out in such a tight knit village where many don’t understand it. They may not be homophobic, but they also may not understand what being gay is. And they keep telling him to get a “wife”. Then comes this man who is attractive, sassy AND into him? Phupha may not be this brooding masculine guy after all he might just be unaware of how to flirt confidently. Especially with a man.

Leaving aside the manufactured conflict which could’ve been done so much better…. Phupha is such a shy character. He doesn’t show much affection in public. And in Our Skyy 2 it is clear just how insecure he feels seeing Tian has moved & changed his lifestyle to suit him but he’s barely done that much of a lifestyle change for him. And the difference in social class makes it hard for him to see Tian’s parents. He must have worked so hard to get that diamond & plan the proposal w his parents🥹

And I love how genuine the ending feels. Tian gives his life abroad a chance & ultimately decides he wants to go teach in that village. Phupha knows he likes his job & sets Tian free saying he’ll wait for him but doesn’t expect him to return. It was not a real compromise on careers or dreams, but a natural draw they had towards each other & the place & its community.
