Here are some things I loved about Episode 8 Ramilpaytai!

Lipgloss smeared all over both their faces. In my honest but rock solid opinion, this is sexier than any toy in Paytai's side dresser. Thank you thank you thank you The Next Prince for letting Jimmy and Ohm beat the hell out of each other's mouths and cheeks and chins, it is everything 2 me

It IS Paytai's side dresser btw. Nothing will convince me otherwise. Those are Paytai's personal belongings that Ramil gets to pick through like a kid at a slumber party eagerly pulling toys he doesn't have at home out of his friend's closet

But really I love how in past scenes it's been Paytai choosing the toys and offering them to Ramil, but this time Ramil laid out three sequential toys in preparation for their scene, and one of them was a COLOR-COORDINATED BLINDFOLD that matched their COLOR-COORDINATED lace slut shirts.

And that blindfold and those handcuffs were for Ramil! !!! !! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just as Paytai offers him the collar and the leash, Ramil is the one to initiate when it's his turn to surrender. They trust each other so much, and are so so careful with each other.

I'm assuming longer scenes is not actually their norm (or ours sob rip) because Ramil's life mostly runs on his father's time table, so he took the risk of canceling his entire fencing practice just so they'd have this time to really, really play. He's kind of in renewed honeymoon mode with Paytai right now.

I have seen lots of interpretations of Ramil with the crop so bear with me on a very "this is just, like, my opinion, man" take: For me, the way it read when Ramil put the crop down is that reality punched through their scene and took the wind out of his sails as a dom. So much of this space Paytai has helped him create is about building Ramil up and letting them both but especially Ramil feel like there's one protected place where Ramil has absolute power and can keep them both safe. Imo what Ramil needs is to feel in control and what Paytai needs is to be Ramil's complete focus. So when Ramil remembers the other connotation that whips have in their relationship it punctures his ability to stay in that powerful, in-control place; the powerlessness and pain of real life intrudes and he crumbles. But as much as Paytai loves it when Ramil is in control, when Paytai can let go of the reins in their relationship and just float in Ramil's hands, he also loves it when Ramil is stripped down to his core, raw and needy and vulnerable, espeeeeeecially when what he's shaking and crying about is Paytai. Because again! What Paytai needs isn't for Ramil to run the show but for Ramil to keep his eyes on Paytai. So both his strong, cruel side and his weak, hurt side sate the same obsessively deep craving in Paytai. And I think that's neat. I personally don't see Ramil putting the crop aside as like, okay he articulated a need, averted a bad scene, and has established he's not into whipping Paytai ever, so that toy is going back in the dresser for good. I think they probably have reclaimed punishment, discipline, and physical pain in the past, and will reclaim it all again in the future. For me this was just a window into what it looks like when the unlivable conditions they're trapped in intrude on their attempts to reclaim some control and comfort for themselves, but those attempts are a work in progress, will continue, and best of all, will continue to feature so much experimentation, trial and error, and open-ended play. God I love that they aren't limited to rigid roles but are trying things. I love it so so much.

I KNOW I MENTIONED RAMIL IN THE CUFFS ALREADY BUT: RAMIL IN THE CUFFS!!! PAYTAI KISSING HIS BOUND HANDS!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YO

8 shows, many thoughts

so I thought I should at least attempt to talk about the eight (8) shows I'm somehow managing to keep up with right now, even if it's just for the sake of being able to jot something down in MDL when I go to do my ratings. I'll go in the order of how far along the series is:

My Stubborn (9 of 12) — This show was so much fun in the first half, because so much of Sorn and Jun's dynamic was revealed by the progression of their sexual relationship, and there was something deliciously appealing about a show that really leaned into the horniness of the main characters, but now that we're getting into the thorny feelings end of the series, the patchier parts of the storytelling are more evident. I'm not sure how we're supposed to get three more episodes out of Sorn's expected groveling and redemption, but I'm sure it'll be entertaining if nothing else.

Boys in Love (9 of 12) — This is mostly Sunday night background noise for me, since I don't find myself overly invested in any of the characters or relationships (well, the teenage ones at least, the teacher romance has me hooked), but it's made for a nice viewing experience. there's something comforting, after all, about returning to the emotional purity of a high school first love BL, and I appreciate the touches of mundanity that keep the story grounded in its youthful reality, despite its candy-colored setting.

Pit Babe Season 2 (7 of 13) — I love everything this show chooses to be. I love the brazen commitment to this frankenstein concoction of a plot, I love that there are moments of true darkness in the conflicts but also a genuine sweetness and mutual devotion in the relationships that have developed over the course of two seasons, and I love how much depth the characters have and how the acting manages to draw me in no matter how absurd the action or dialogue is. they really put something potent into this show, and it helps that the entire cast is just as invested as we are. the beauty of watching Pit Babe is that I have absolutely no idea where the plot is going to go, but I'm happily settled in for the ride.

Knock Out (6 of 12) — I knew I was going to adore this series, had zero doubts in my mind that it would work for me on multiple levels, and so far it hasn't disappointed. the plucky, quick-tempered, driven Keen is one of my favorite protagonists of the year so far, and there's a real heartbeat to the boxing gym setting, true to Tee Bundit's hallmark style. to me, the show has done a great job balancing the minutiae of these relationships (whether it's romance or friendship), showing the mutual support and care that makes them worth rooting for, and the commentary on power and compromise embedded in the big dramatic conflicts thrown at our ragtag but proud little group so far.

The Next Prince (7 of 14) — Come through, budget! this the most visually pleasing series of the year so far, with so much lush detail in the sets and costuming. and that effort hasn't been wasted, either, because the prince-and-bodyguard romance at the heart of the story is a heady, powerful, pulsing thing that has dragged me under its spell. the endlessly devoted and deliciously reserved Charan is one of my favorite character archetypes, and Zee was born to play him; the moment in Ep 7 where he finally breaks and allows himself to give in to Prince Khanin's seductions was just breathtaking. and then, obviously, the angsty, twisted dynamic between Prince Ramil and literal whipping boy Paytai has provided a parallel side couple well worth obsessing over.

My Sweetheart Jom (5 of 12) — This show is doing several things extremely well, and in a rather understated way. for one, the rural setting is a refreshing change of pace, a lovingly rendered backdrop for the city mouse/country mouse storyline. second, it's a true slow burn, with actual lingering enmity between the two romantic leads that hasn't dissipated despite the first frissons of attraction. and that's because of the the third aspect, which is that it takes the age gap between steadfast village chief Jom and stubborn idealist Yo seriously. their conflict resides in the profound gap between their lived experiences; the show has taken its time showing how both characters respond to things like injustice, and how that difference is a real hurdle they must get over, first and foremost as human beings, before they can proceed to approach each other romantically. and I love that, I love how thoughtful this show is in presenting both characters as full-fledged people first and letting the story unfold around them.

The Ex-Morning (4 of 10) — Having paid my long-overdue SOTUS dues earlier this year, as part of a Krist Perawat appreciation binge, I was primed to eat this up, and so far it's hitting every note of its promised second-chance romance storyline, with just the right amount of pathos, tension, and humor keeping me invested. the meta elements connecting the plot to SOTUS and the larger history of SingtoKrist as a CP make for fun easter eggs, but it's succeeding on a more basic level too, as the natural chemistry between the two leads has provided both a familiar, comforting joy and something newer and equally exciting.

Reset (3 of 10) — When the pilot dropped, I was a little worried the themes might hew a little close to My Stand-In, but so far this show feels different enough that I'm having a blast with the ultra-lakorn vibes, from the music to the acting style to the heightened romantic tension. Thada is a classic down-bad yearner, singularly focused on Armin, which helps smooth the edges of our doomed actor as he oscillates wildly between vengeful paranoia and traumatized self-pity. the chemistry is chemistrying so far, but with the limited episode count, I hope the time-travel and murder mystery plots start to take center stage soon.
