#bl tropes who? #the lgbt energy in this building is astronomical!
Everyone! Stop whatever you're doing and go watch this beautiful edit of Pat and Pran by @patpranism! Oh my god OP, it was absolutely ethereal. The way she has matched the lyrics of the song to the scene and even changed some of them (I loved the use of Riam instead of Romeo) made the song as well as the edit a thousand times better. I'll be watching it again and again! Amazing work once again OP!
we've moved on to greener, murkier pastures but im still so in awe of pat actually using Pa's four signs on himself.
I think that's a thing you could do if and only if you're that emotionally intelligent. Everyone would assume you's use these four signs thing to test it on other people. Never youself.
So for Pat to actually take a step back, and watch and observe how he acted around Pran, to connect each sign to each action he just did, to realise it by himself- that requires a startling lack of ego.
because it shows the depth that pat has. he's playful, cherry, laid back. he's fierce, doesn't get possed off easily but he's scary when he does (still thinking about how he's 'cold' and even scares the seniors but we see him with pran and realise he changed).
so him being all these light hearted things pulls the wool over our eyes about just how emotionally intelligent he is. he didnt go "oh i'll test this out on pran". as you would suppose he'd do. but no, he tested it on himself, realised that it wasn't ink he liked but pran. and it always had been.
why had be been oblivious until then if he was so good at knowing his own feelings? loads of reasons- the patriachal atmosphere of his house. expectations. carrying the knowledge that pran was probably just putting up with the guy who got him sent off to boarding school. but recently pran confused him, with how soft he seemed when they were alone. and so he starts becoming more conscious.
and the second he shifts his perspective slightly boom! it all makes sense! and he doesn't struggle with it beyond the slight disbelief of never never having realised this.
no he starts struggling when he sees wai. not jealousy. its hurt. hurt that despite all their shared history and pain, and the joy he knows they both get from each other, he can't be close to pran so openly. he can't even look at him without people thinking he's picking a fight.
its just how startlingly in tune pat is with himself and that just blows up when he's actually allowed to talk to pran. the conversation at the beach. the bet. the confession through the play. the whole of ep 8.
hes a well written character and its obvious with how much care and attention he has been written and acted.
Nanon's ig story update
I just cannot explain how much I adore the minute subtleties in Bad Buddy that makes it feel so natural and realistic. Like, yes it's yet another cliché modern revamped Romeo/Juliet story designed as a BL but the improvised acting, the storytelling and the minor details add so much flavour to it. I'm talking things like Pat's connection breaking in their balcony phone call causing Pran to repeat things sometimes; a detail so minor you won't even notice it but it made the phone call seem so natural. I'm talking stupid running jokes like "Can I pay you to be less confident?" "Sure here's my QR code." I'm talking Pat telling his sister about the five mosquito bites he got. I'm talking Pat screaming and punching his pillow after Pran flirted with him. I'm talking regular boyfriend banter like Pat teasing Pran with the Nanon & Sizzy song and Pran fondly nagging him to turn it off. I can keep talking and talking cause there are so many little things that make this show feel so real. It hits too close to home.

Bad Buddy (2021)
good morning gays (x)
i know we all know how much pat considers pran's feelings and needs with their new relationship.
but the first thing i noticed when the curtain dropped and they had to face everyone in the theatre is that once pat processed what was happening, the first thing he did was to look at pran to see how HE was processing it all.
his first thought was to know how pran was feeling, how he is reacting so that he'd be able to know how to act himself.
i love that throughout the entire episode, we saw once more how this is a give and take relationship from both sides. they're both fairly new at this yet they try to understand the other, prioritize the other, they COMMUNICATE.
pat knows how much more difficult it is for pran to process their relationship (mostly because of their families and friends) although pran wants it as much as pat does.
i just thought it was a really nice detail that just showed once more how much of a walking green flag pat is and mostly how important pran's feelings are to him.
Me: oh, I love secret relationships, forbidden, Romeo and Juliette style yk
Also me: *tearing up* what do you mean their families don’t accept their choice
Still not over how that scene was improvised ..
No estaba en el guión
also the cutest thing ive ever seen happen in a show fandom is bbs watchers collectively calling pat a "walking green flag". that imagery is so precious to me. so so precious.
i know we already hate him but i really want to emphasise how much pat's dad fucks him up with this. all his validation is strongly controlled by whether or not pat adheres to his ideas and codes of acceptable behaviour.
he kept insisting pat uphold his image and reputation when he's in class with the engineering professors, forced him to think of pran as a rival even for the freshy contest, and is now trying to guilt him into quitting the play. the second pat puts one toe out of line, he's there, ready to talk about how he's been a 'good' and 'non-interfering' parent and that it's poor of pat to not respect him and his wishes.
and you can see how much it distresses pat too, to have to hear that. sure he's favoured over pa (and i have my qualms with that) but by no means does pat have it easy bc his father always sets conditions for his love and validation. he's unused to disappointing his father bc so far he's always been trying to match up to his expectations.
this is genuinely some of the shittiest parenting a kid can be subjected to.
i really like the moment when pran holds out his hand to pat and says "i'm done adjusting". initially he's so caught in his own anxious worries that he immediately rejects the handholding but after a second of taking a step back and thinking abt it he's like 'you know what actually i'm okay with this rn' and that's such an important message about intimacy. because yes sometimes stepping closer (esp in public) can be scary but after the initial surprise you might find that you're actually okay with it (and pran holds pat's hand behind pa's back later too). and pran knows that pat would respect it if he's not ready and that makes it easier for pran to 'adjust' i.e. be open about the fact that he does want to hold pat's hand in the corridor outside his apartment. intimacy and getting closer to someone are not linear progresses and often move forward step by step. and i love how we see this in pran especially: he acts subconsciously and then makes an effort to show how he feels consciously about pat and their relationship.
Pat knowing that Pran isn’t ready to tell anyone about them yet and RESPECTING THAT and Pran going home and cheering Pat up (balcony scene) and making him laugh and feel better. - And then them communicating when they’ve a disagreement and ALSO APOLOGIZING TO EACH OTHER and trying to solve it (Like we never see in dramas).
They have such a healthy relationship and they work so well together.
Pran and Pat best boyfriends, i said what i said.
