#Boston top

[jenyifer]

Top and Boston’s over lap is quite interesting. I don’t blame Boston for trying to be Top’s friend since they both fucked up in Boston’s car. But I think their similarities extend further. So let’s have some TopBoston brain soup.

The thing is both Boston and Top are often perceived as pretty rich fuck boys and that’s all they are valued for. I’d highly suggest listening to their first song together in the bathroom “Hate Me” by Blood Red Sun. The song talks about being self assured but also having relationships based on their shallow self. This ultimately make Boston and Top cut from the same cloth. They are competitive for what they want because it’s a want that’s all theirs. They will do anything to achieve their goals. Like showing a jealous competitive man that his lover has kissed his bestie or calling the police to break up a party then giving the cop a bag of drugs to pay them off and look like the hero.

I find their diverging opinions on love fascinating.

At the beginning of the series Boston is motivated by his friendships with Mew and Ray because they are the people who know him best. He keeps their photos at the end of his bed he appreciates them so much. Not that he is 100% himself with them but it’s the most real relationships he has. What Boston misses about Nick is that over time Nick was slowly getting to see the real Boston and wasn’t afraid. Nick wanted Boston’s ugly side. I think this was addictive to Boston but Boston’s worst fears were confirmed when Nick betrays him. No one can ever truly care for Boston. He’s just a piece of flesh to tempt other men.

Meanwhile Top is fixated on becoming a person for Mew. It’s unclear how much of the real top is in their relationship. We don’t see Top with any other friends the closest thing he has besides Mew is Sand which he is insanely competitive with…. Even when his relationship with Mew falls apart he clings to this new version of Top. Because even if it’s not who he truly is it’s the only way to get Mew close again.

I think Boston and Top would make a pair of frightening friends. I kind of want a heist fic of them just aggressively trying to put power over the other… idk how to end this soup.. but I keep thinking about them.

The Sexiest 2023 BL Scenes

I think we can all agree that there is an art to executing a sex scene -- and not everybody's an artist. This year, we (and, by that, I mean you) gif'd a couple of masterpieces that range from romantic to...educational. Here are the ones that live in my head rent free, in order of PG-13 to NC-17:

BEST ROLE-PLAY SEX: Bed Friend

If you had told me last year that incorporating cat ears into foreplay would result in one of the hottest scenes in BL, I would've given you bombastic side-eye. But James, the actor who plays Uea, pulled it off, and is probably responsible for a lot of Amazon orders till this day. (Episode 6)

BEST BEACH-SIDE SEX: The Eighth Sense

This entire sequence was so beautifully lit in golden tones, with soft touches, and romantic moments. It almost made you forget about the depression plot. Almost. (Episode 6)

LONG-AWAITED SEX: Hidden Agenda

Joke yearned for Zo in a way that was borderline comical. From the moment Zo kissed Joke like he was trying to give him CPR and then promptly shoved him out of his apartment, I knew every kiss after that would have to come with a parental warning. I'm surprised Joke didn't move in. (Episode 8)

DO-OVER SEX: Love Class 2

The music for this sex scene was so perfectly matched with the caressing and hand closeups. And the fact that it happened after the initially-ghosted Joo Hyuk got Sung Min to reconsider made it even sweeter. (Episode 9)

BEST WET SEX SCENE: Kiseki: Dear to Me

I may have enjoyed Ai Di and Chen Yi's love story more, but Fan Ze Rui and Bai Zong Yi were helping us all live out our tall boy fantasies. When he mounted him with a soft bounce, I knew the gif Gods would giveth. (Episode 7)

BEST EUPHORIC SEX: Only Friends

Ray looked like he reached nirvana when he made love to Sand in that sardine can of trailer, so of all their sex scenes, this was my fave. (Episode 9)

BEST INSECURITY-INDUCED SEX: Only Friends

Say what you will about Boston -- and the fandom has said a lot lol -- but if you had to choose a cast member to get you off, you'd choose him in a heartbeat. And yes, this scene was grimey. He f*cked his friend's potential boyfriend in the backseat of his car after manipulating him into believing he was cheated on, but can you blame him? He was probably tired of always having to give and never receive. Plus, Top did this vibrating move that made me wonder who told Force to do that... (Episode 3)

BEST CENSORED SEX: Wedding Plan

I'm still mad that this scene wasn't in the Youtube cut. It paints an entirely different picture of their dynamic and their personalities. But thank God for the gif'ers, otherwise I would've missed how ravenous they were when they weren't...wedding planning. 😳 (Episode 6)

BEST WHIPLASH SEX: Be Mine Superstar

To be clear, WE were the ones getting whiplash. One minute, we were watching a sweet love story between an innocent college kid and his idol crush, and the next minute we were watching a masterclass on how to bang your one-night stand (consensually) until he agrees to date you. It's like...Sir, I'm on the train. Could you give a bitch a heads up? (Episode 8)

***

While I am generally envious of every single one of these experiences, I'm even more envious of everyone's knee strength and flexibility. I could never. Rollerblading has ruined me. If I tried half of these positions, I'd have to get physical therapy. 🙃

The product placement in only friends is abt to be wild. Like can we pause the gay sex for a sec? Ray needs to drink some Oishi Green Tea Honey Lemon

I feel bad for Top

I don't like his cocky ass, but I feel bad for the strange way his slut shaming keeps playing out.

I started to feel bad for him in the second episode when Boston cornered him in the shower.

And although I still don't know where I stand on his story of the childhood fire, it's very clear that Top disassociates during sex.

Good for Force's facial journey, but Top doesn't enjoy sex, which makes his story about the fire seem more plausible, as if sex is just a means to an end - a body to help him sleep at night.

Because when he was in the car with Boston, he started breathing heavily while Boston was getting closer, yet it didn't read like the kind of sexual tension breathing, but the kind that precedes a panic attack.

Perhaps Top suffers from untreated anxiety, and he copes with it through sex and pills.

I know some people don't like me saying it, but Boston is a predator who is exploiting everyone's weaknesses.

He knows what makes these people vulnerable, and he feeds on it.

He is targeting fragile people.

And enjoys it.

He, once again, trapped Top so he couldn't leave.

Now I'm worried that the more Boston traps Top, the more excessive Top will be when coping. If he already sleeps around to the extent he does to disconnect, how far will he go with the pills to escape?

But it seems like he is a pawn to everyone.

And I wonder what that does to a person. To know that he is just a body. Just a commodity used for his body.

Instead of a being a fully realized person, he is a checklist of items.

And even when he says no, people don't listen because why would a slut say no?

And when Top looks uncomfortable being approached even as the guy himself calls Mew his boyfriend, the guy still offers Top sex.

Which is probably why he respects people's boundaries since nobody respects his.

So whatever issues are between him and Sand probably deal with 1) sex and 2) boundaries since those are Top's weak spots. Pure speculation, but I think Top is looking for a fight. If he feels like his life is out of his control then feeling physical pain could be one way to gain back that control especially if he plans for the pain to happen.

And I also wonder what he will feel like to question Mew about his relationship with Ray and have Mew offer up sex to him.

Because why would a slut need anything else?

ngl boeing and boston showing up in the preview together for next week's episode had me laughing out loud because it just took me so off guard

like say what you will about the plot cohesion and character arcs etc. etc. and it's all fair! but also objectively i must admit that it is soooo funny to me that boeing was introduced to the show purely to be yeeted around from one couple to the next like he's Only Friends' gay version of a final boss level enemy that each pairing must battle against in order to win their happy relationship endgames
