If You Want To Leave, You Know What To Give Me// Whatever You Want, Take It

I think it was very smart on Tinn's part to give the garland to the other band during the competition, because not only did it help him keep up the façade of friendly-bantering relationship he has going on with Gun, but also helped in boosting Gun and his band's confidence (because of the audience vote). Also, the fact that other contestants would not blame him for "favoritism", since they had seen him interacting with the band before the competition.

Like, the boy knows that he is not that close with Gun to help him in any other way than the whole tsundere thing.

Also, how has Gun not noticed Tinn's crush??? LIKE BOY, he's a blushing mess around you, how have you not noticed???

Your cheeks give me cute aggression ~Puen

Dating Albert James Moriarty Headcanon

DEFINITELY leans a lot on you for support since he feels responsible as the oldest brother

So overprotective it could get a wee bit annoying

Holding hands, sipping wine and sharing comfortable silence on most nights

Informs only as much as needed about the plan, hates to involve you in it

Caught you breaking rules which explains why he fell for you

Knits you lot of sweaters, scarves, caps and gloves (yup he's a knitter read manga)

Starts to work hard at cooking after you tell it could've tasted better (you know about his cooking if you read the manga...)

A TON OF CHEEK KISSES

Winks at you a lot in public to ensure you don't get jealous of his admirers

Effortlessly flirty that makes you shout how he makes your heart race by just... Existing...

Initially very shy because he's popular but had never tried courting anyone ever

He sees you play with children and looks lovingly thinking about marrying you & having children with you

You will have to attend many social gatherings as his +1 and he'll cling to you a lot much to other ladies' annoyance

He seems big but is actually ✨toiny✨ and cuddly

Always begs Fred to let him pick roses from the garden to put in your hair

Emotional intimacy>>>>>> physical

sotus and sotus s were kinda way ahead of their time and nobody is ready for this conversation

Yes it did receive appreciation for being a trendsetter of university setting in BLs but the criticisms on lack of intimacy is getting on my nerves.

First of all, the main focus seems to be on the senior-junior struggle with hazing and the characters' internal struggles. THE AIM WAS NOT FANSERVICE AT ALL.

With that being said, it is completely normal for them to NOT be all over each other on screen even in season 2. Portraying emotional intimacy is harder than physical & it's done beautifully. They are two boys trying to graduate and do well in their jobs, it's absurd for them to come home and be all energetic in bed.

The relationship is actually balanced in its own way. Arthit gets a lot of hate for not communicating enough. When it actually does not seem like the case. Because in s2 he tells Kong "We can normally talk about anything, right?" That actually shows they are close enough to have tough conversations without jeopardising their relationship. Arthit knows since s1 that Kong is a rich kid, only he never know who exactly his father was.

Moreover Arthit's introversion & mysteriousness is what seems to draw Kong to him. We see how possessive Kong is - he cannot stand anyone else knowing little details such as pink milk & Aioon. I bet he'd not like him if Arthit was an easily likeable popular extrovert. The fact that Arthit is visibly shy is enough for Kong. And the fact that Arthit does not say "I love you" or "You are my world" regularly is what makes his words more valuable. Because Kong knows that it means beyond the surface in a situation when he says it.

It's good that Arthit continues to be shy & silent even in s2. Because that shatters the most common misconception that people change. He himself says that he loves Kong regardless, and saying it everyday would only reduce its importance. (Also, he's shy & that's how he is. Kongpob can accept it so it's all good innit?) Despite taking a long time to deal with his inner struggles he always comes back. He doesn't go around announcing about his relationship, but he does not keep it a secret forever either.

And the fear of society is actually well portrayed. University & workplace is different. Your sexual orientation doesn't reflect on your academic reports, but it CAN reflect as workplace discrimination. We also see that Arthit slowly realises that nobody is gossiping like he imagined. That's how he learns how pointless his worries were.

There are other shattered stereotypes. Such as the owner's nephew being a hard worker unlike the general nepotism character. And Earth just taking her time to warm up instead of turning out to be the female villian.

With all this being said, the show has a balance of silly entertainment & realistic ish character growth, idk it's a hill I'm willing to die on kbye.

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.

Doctor Jimmy is so fuckin pretty oh my gawsh 🤧

From a negative perspective, magenta can promote depression and despair in some, and prevent others from dealing with challenges - it may be just too relaxing for introverts and the chronically depressed.

Being surrounded by too much magenta energy can generate arrogance and bossiness making us feel overwhelmed, irritated, anxious and intolerant.

An excess of magenta energy can be balanced by introducing green into your surroundings.

The way this episode is called "deep magenta" but it's about them finding their spot in a café full of green plants. There's no magenta in sight. And this difference and opposite of meaning is what makes it so special.

Throughout this whole episode we see magenta very often. Wether it's the studio Up found or Talay's pants or a flower bouqet, magenta is present. But Puen and Talay find a café, their spot to share untold words, that doesn't contain any magenta, not even a shade of it - and that in an episode that hints at one specific color.

Magenta is mostly associated with spring and love. It's a romantic color. Lotus flowers are often magenta - since it's the equivalent to roses here. Green is spring as well but it's more about new beginnings, it's exciting. While magenta establishes the idea of something staying and lasting, green shows the truth of life changing.

Puen and Talay were flirting before, they talked, they laughed, they became close but they would have stayed that way if Puen wouldn't have said "how about we fall in love with each other?" Their relationship takes a turn and it's no longer familiar, it's no longer lasting the way it was. The state their relationship is in is very fragile where every word is fatal.

When they find the café, they fall more for each other than they expected. "Will they fall in love?" "I guess so." The café marks a turn in how they see each other. It's something new and fresh, thus there is green and not magenta.

It gets more meaningful when Puen hides in the café, waiting for Talay with his sad puppy-face. He apologizes which always means a lot in relationships: having the first fight. He talks about what he felt and it's all very new but warm, not weird at all. They even kiss at the spot, so green leaves surrounding them mirrors all the feelings perfectly.

They lost the magenta to step into something green that could turn magenta again when it lasts and stays.

Seriously Talay, if what you did isn't a form of love then what else do you call it?! 😭😭😭😭

Talay be making Puen fall in love with him & then have the audacity to say he doesn't believe in love 😤😠

Surprise!
