I was waiting for this episode and I wasn't disappointed. It was a crazy ride again. So many things happened but the series never drag any plots too long. It makes perfectly sense.
Let's just start with the fact that this group of friends are the worst ever. They are all terrible in their own ways. It's infuriated to see them get away with their actions.
▪️ We start with Teacher Keng or should I say Cop Keng who tries to get into Tee's Uncle lair. I don't know why he thought it was a good idea because he wasn't very discrete and anyone with common sense would be able to see he's snooping around. Uncle's minions are not dumb and they chased him. He tried to escape while a car was coming and we got a cut right at this moment, but there are only two options: either he was knocked over to kill him or take him away. The series allows doubt to linger.
▪️ Non is having a really hard time. His video is still trending online and his parents are fighting because of it. He witnessed everything and it's taking a toll on him. This poor kid is really unlucky. He feels alone and on the brink of madness. His anxiety must not help in this situation and he has no one to talk to. The teacher don't answer him (because of obvious reasons). He is left alone with his thoughts unable to find a way out He is angry and desperate. I felt so sad for him. It was very hard to watch. He tried to call Jin also but I guess he was blocked because he never got an answer. Non wants revenge and frankly he deserves it because all these terrible things happening to him came from the shitty group of friends who used and abused him. When they called him to play again the role of the murderer for their stupid short movie, I hoped he would wreck them but in the end he was stopped by Jin (and also whatever drugs Tee put in his drink). We have no idea what happened to him after this event and that's the scariest part. He may be alive or dead... and the fact we don't know is part of the horror.
▪️ So Top and Por stayed nasty through all the episode. Their disdain for Non is blatant. He is exploited at will and they never ashamed of using him for whatever they want. Por didn't hesitated to pretend he was the screenwriter when Non disappeared to feed his little ego. He doesn't care about what happened to him. As long as he got what he wanted: his two minutes of fame and his short movie. Top is quite the same in his own way. He wanted to star in a movie and he got it, whatever it takes.
▪️ I found interesting how Fluke is always trying to stay on the sideline. It's never his fault, he never was there and he did nothing. He has always been a coward. He is always finding excuses to justify his actions. In some ways, I found him worst than Por or Tor. At least, those guys show their true color in broad day light while Fluke will pretend he is a good guy.
▪️ Tee is a different kind of villain. He is torn between what he needs to do for his uncle and his consciousness. At first, when he tried to be nice to Non I admit I got fooled. He acted like he was when he is with White. However, it was just pretending because he just wanted to carry his Uncle’s wishes. He drugged him and brought Non to him. Since then, he never got any news from him. If Por and Top never questioned Non’s disappearance, Tee was trying to know if he is still alive or not. Of course, no one gave him the truth. His Uncle pretended Non really did leave with Keng but it sounded false. I guess Tee could feel it. He may not be entirely bad but he didn’t hesitate to save his life by bringing Non to his Uncle. Also, he only got 20,000 baht for this job which means Non’s life is just worth 500 euros. Sad…
▪️ Obliviously, in this group, Jin is the most affected by Non’s disappearance. He felt guilty because of the leaked video and he also tried to apologize to Non (even if he didn’t tell for what). Jin has become withdrawn since Non is not here anymore. You can see how he distanced himself from everything. I think he really cares about Non but he wasn’t brave enough to really stand for him and help him. I felt betrayed again during the police’s interview when he pretended Non wasn’t there during the shooting of the movie. They all tried to cover up the truth. I was expecting it from all of them and I knew Jin would also do it, because otherwise we wouldn’t talk about it in the present, but I still felt let down by his action. Deep down, I want him to redeem himself. Probably, because he is linked to Phee now and I wish Phee didn’t only get with him to have his revenge. I want them to have genuine feelings for each others. Some moments in the present time make me believe in their relationship. It can’t be only fake. Phee seemed to genuinely want to protect Jin…
▪️ Of course I need to talk about Phee. When he learned about Non’s disappearance he tried to use every means possible to know the truth but he never got the answers he wanted. Keng is not here anymore, Non doesn’t answer the phone and his dad was withdrawn from the investigation. However, Phee know about the shitty group of friends and their short movie. He went to the premiere and saw all of them. I guess it is when he decided to act. Does he only want answers about what happened to Non or does he want to get revenge? We don’t know yet but I’m eager to learn the truth. At the premiere, he didn’t came alone and we don’t know with who he was. Is it Tan? Is Tan, Non’s brother? If it’s the case, why is he called Tan? In the preview for next episode, we’ll still be in the past and we’ll see how Tan and Phee became friends with the rest of the group. We haven’t seen White yet and I want to know how he joined the group too.
They are so many things to say and debate about this episode. I really want to be next week to learn more. Dead Friend Forever is a real gem at the moment.
Interesting fact about Ganondorf’s horse in OoT and the Era of the Wilds (because I am a horse nerd)
Though very rare, it is possible for a horse that looks like this to occur in real life!
This is due to a gene that is only able to be seen on horses with a black base (including bays) known as the silver gene! This gene isn't particularly rare, but usually, it produces a silver or white color to the mane and tail, but it has been known to turn the mane and tail blonde, and very rarely it will make them red.
Aah yes!! I did not know what that gene was called, but iirc Epona's design, too, is based on that mutation!
You could argue it's why Ingo was so keen on gifting her to Ganondorf, if her mutation was similar enough to Gerudo horses to breed them!
a beautiful spring day out on the land with some members of the art collective i am a part of!
this is of two elk hunted by my friend d.’s dad that we have been processing. in january we fleshed one hide that we plan on tanning with the fur on and strung it up to dry while we processed the second hide (already fleshed and stretched). we sheared the majority of the thick hair and saved the nicer parts for tufting, that’s why it looks so short already in the video. it was a really mix of beautiful reddish brown and deep black. we used a variety of tools including some beautiful ulus (insanely ergonomic, such a wonderful tool, thank you to the inuit for those) but i’m actually working with a paint scraper in this video! after finishing for the day and leaving some scraping for other members of the collective to participate in we ate some delicious sausage made from the very elk we had been working on. there’s something grounding in it, honouring the animal and my ancestors and eating food prepared with love and culture in mind. my
the collective i’m a part of is all first nations, métis, and inuit artists and recently we have been focusing on wearables and completed a 2-month long residency at an artist run centre. we traded cultural skills and teachings, talked stories, and ate meals together. we have a show going up locally in may as well as a larger one planned in september for which we have been applying for grant funding. there’s so much love and respect between all of us artists and it’s been such an incredibly exciting and valuable experience. i can’t wait to share more of what we have been up too!!!!!
Every time I see another theory that puts Perth on Non's side as his witness protector or his mafia escape artist or his BROTHER !!! or his boyfriend (no one has this theory. This is an agenda of me myself and I) I go a little more feral. Honestly I'm just a teething snuffling raccoon creature at this point
That has to be a large percentage of bisexual women dating TIMs 🤢 Out of all the men they could choose, that's the men they go for? There are better less misogynistic men out there.
the women who willingly date troons usually are bi women and now they're like omg I love having gay sex with my gf/wife im such a dyke <333 all over social media and reddit
