Louder for the people at the back. Made my skin crawl , I hope they address that.

Okay, so, friends. That final Top/Mew scene is not actually romantic—that is Top taking advantage of Mew’s inebriated and unconscious state to transgress the clear boundaries Mew has set. Top is no longer Mew’s boyfriend and Mew has not forgiven him. And in this scene, Mew is passed out. He has no conscious awareness of anything Top is doing. The fact that Top picked him up from a party, took him home, undressed him, touched him, and slept with him, all without his consent, is not cute. Top is way over the line, and I can’t imagine Mew is going to be happy to wake up in his bed wondering what the hell happened. Top was being selfish there by taking what he wanted, not caring for Mew in a meaningful way.

This actually reminds me of a scene from early on in La Pluie where Saengtai got very drunk, kissed Patts, and then passed out. Patts response to this situation was to put Saengtai to bed, write him a cute note explaining what happened, and then leave him alone so that he would wake up with privacy and time to process. That is what it looks like to be considerate of someone in this situation. Top just took advantage.

I swear I needed to hear this

fanfic writers, here’s a friendly reminder that you are not less of a writer if you haven’t posted anything in years, you are not less of a writer if your works aren’t as popular as other writers’, you are not less of a writer if some trolls left you rude comments (they either just want your attention or are simply intimidated/threatened by your talent), you are not less of a writer if you write short one-shots instead of a 100k novel-length fanfic, you are not less of a writer if you’re not satisfied with your writing (I promise you it’s so much better than you think, you should be proud of yourself), you are not less of a writer if you’re not comfortable posting any of your works at all.

you are always as valid as any other fellow writers out there.

another reminder: fanfic writing is not a competition, and it’s not a job. don’t put so much pressure on yourself. always remember, the point of writing fanfictions is that we get to have fun, escape reality into the world we create in which we can write anything we want.

it stops being a getaway and a safe place the second we treat writing fanfic as a job or a competition. no, you’re not writing for anybody. you’re writing for you. this world you create is just you and your blorbos. have fun. it’s your getaway.

Okay but this episode was just Jinshi and Maomao having the best expressions on their faces as things just keep happening around them:

I mean look at that ? i think this is my favorite of Jinshi's face. He just kinda looks his age and it's hilarious.

He was like: oups, I may or may not have fucked up. oh ! Look ?! What a wonderful cave.

The animators were clearly having fun this episode.

will style be shooting someone????

ok so last night (the night before ep7 dropped) i made this post in which i speculated that style might end up killing someone at some point in the future. after having watched ep7 i'm not so sure style will be outright killing someone (idk if the series would go that dark), but i would NOT be surprised if we saw style shoot someone with a gun (injuring them at least, if not actually killing them)

here's why:

at the rock pub style came into fadel' world and had to do something to blend into that exact world

what else is fadel's world? a pretty big part of fadel's world? his hitman identity. i wouldn't be surprised if style would have to do something to blend into fadel's hitman world. and i have previously considered that the thing would be to shoot someone, and episode 7 just kind of strengthens my suspision

in fact, style might even embrace the hitman life:

but let me take a shot some time, too แต่มึงให้กูยิงบ้างดิ [dtàe - mueng - hâi - guu - ying - bâang - dì] but - you - let - I/me - shoot - some - [particle]

(the official translation is less on the nose: "But you gotta let me play, too.")

and then later in the episode we see him grab a (real) gun and threaten someone without any hesitation whatsoever:

not to mention how completely unafraid he was when fadel was pointing a gun at him, calling him his "teeruk-hitman":

the question is just....

will style be shooting a random person?? like, maybe one of fadel and bison's targets?

or will be shooting fadel?

or will he be shooting kant?

either way, there are a suspicious amount of references to guns and shooting around style

Enjoyment of something should not become a hazard. Learn well and be safe.

nobody warns you this but addiction happens without you noticing and one of the first things that it attacks is your ability to care. if you find yourself using recreational drugs every day, stop and take one day a week sober. if you struggle with this or if you don't see the point of the exercise, you are likely already addicted and you need help.

If I get drunk and start acting like those dumbasses, make sure to tell me, okay?

Sand and his generosity.

Sand is a great character and I find it interesting that even though he did a crime, is actively doing another crime the majority of the fandom is behind him being such a good guy, and he is. But it got me thinking. Why is he so generous towards ray?

Now 14 yr old me would have instantly said true love but now I know a lot more. Something about his care for ray feel so familiar. Like he knows exactly what to do with someone like ray, on the verge of an alcoholic spiral 24/7.

The first few episodes we see them connecting but even if they did connect more then the other couples, there was something huge missing. Sand didn't know the extend of rays addiction. And then we see sand processing it and then top comes barging in and derails him and the entire trainwreck that resulted and sand had understood just how gone ray is. That boy needs rehab asap.

But sand goes after him, he saves him, he takes care of him, he bends to his every whim and is happy to do so, only to be tossed aside. And it's in the way he takes care of him. He knows how to take care of a drunk person , he knows how to be gentle with them , he knows how to scold them without coming across as demeaning or prejudice. He has the patience of someone who's already dealt with circumstances like these. Of taking care of a loved one who is an addict.

You can see it in the way he doesn't bring up the outburst. He bought up the drunk driving because it has the potential to cause lasting harm. But an outburst in a bar will be just that an outburst. Sand doesn't know that ray had told mew about topton, but he doesn't give the outburst much thought when ray had attacked him directly. And that's where I think he knows what to except from an outburst from an addict and is choosing to not take it personally. And that level of insight is not typical in a 20 something college kid , even if the college kid works in a bar , because ray targeted him specially. Nobody would have blamed him if he didn't go, heck rays friends who he have known for years didn't go but sand a recent acquaintance went.

Now it can be said that sand has seen the good side of ray, and he has. When it comes with dealing with addicts most people focus on changing the bad side and forget about the good side. But sand didn't , he saw the good side, liked it and is trying to get that back. That smile in the bathtub, he thought he was getting it back. But then he saw raymew dancing and that look is so interesting. Because there's no anger, there's sadness, and heartbreak and disappointed. And there's resignation. He predicted it would happen and it did.

He wasn't disappointed with ray, he was disappointed in himself. He was dealing with an addict, trying to save him when the person doesn't want to be saved. Something he has done before. Something he so familiar with he was anticipating the heartbreak when he and ray had hooked up. It's exactly like playing with fire.

So why did he jump right in when he knows the pain, because it's familiar to him.

So who's this person who has given sand the experience with working with addicts . Either his mom who's the closest person we have seen to him or his ex.

Imagine if it was his ex , someone he loved , cared for and has helped with a recovery process but then top comes and takes him away. By using drugs.

Which would explain why sand is so mad at him , why he insisted that top stole him.

Sand saw the good side with his ex , helped him get back and all that was tossed away for the next fix that top had with him. And he fought tooth and nails for him , but the ex chose his next fix and not him.

Then his eyes fell on a boy similar to his ex , who's also going through addiction and sand wants to help him since it's so familiar. And he knows it's a bad idea and he is watching the exact same thing happen away and this time he's so resigned and too tired too fight.

His generosity is not just because he's a good person , it's because he's used to it, it's because it's familiar to him.
