“IF NO ONE ACCEPTS YOU, YOU HAVE ME”

Lately I’ve seen the narrative around Krist shifting from “he’s homophobic” to “he was homophobic, but he got better :)” so!

Let’s go back to a moment in 2017 during a ceremony where Krist and Singto accepted an award from the Thai branch of the gay magazine Attitude (now defunct). That’s the magazine that published this photoshoot:

[Attitude, 2018, promoting SOTUS S] (they also did one in 2016 for SOTUS)

Krist said that a friend of his once came out to his parents, and the parents wouldn’t accept him, so Krist told his friend, “It’s okay. If no one accepts you, you have me, and I accept you for who you are.”

So, yes, Krist was hotheaded when people kept harassing him about his sexuality, but can anyone truly blame him? No one looks at all the times he answered politely. Just the one time he broke. [EDIT: I just spoke with someone who was there when the infamous IG story was posted, and they said: “Krist's tone and demeanour when he emphatically said "no" was like, y'know, still friendly. It's like when friends tease you relentlessly and you say ‘no’ more forcefully to get them to stop?” And that actually was my first impression of it back in 2020—a joke that landed badly. And it lines up with his first apology: that he felt badly because his answer was taken out of context.]

There are people today who film these guys at the urinal. Who treat them like property because of money and time spent on them. Who hire trucks to drive around their company building making demands. And it’s 2024. GMMTV has legal teams on this stuff now. But you and I can’t imagine what kind of invasiveness Krist and Singto went through in 2016 as one of the first pairs in the BL industry to gain overnight fame and rabid, unprecedented focus from millions. Of course he snapped. It’s widely known that fans and reporters target Krist over Singto to get information even today because Singto never gives anyone the satisfaction of a reaction, but Krist is a people-pleaser and truly struggles with saying no to people. He’s always been the emotional one, the one who overthinks, the one desperate to make people happy. And when fans wanted to force KristSingto to publicly say that they were secretly dating, fans thought they could get Krist to break first, and they were right. (Personally, I always thought the Instagram story was an exaggerated joke that was a barely veiled “drop it.” EDIT: I’m glad at least one person who was there at the time can corroborate this.)

Then interfans came along, marked him as an easy target, and maliciously miscast him as a bigot to wave after wave of new interfans who never bothered to research further after a random person on the internet told them he’s a homophobe.

Krist asked his parents for their blessing to audition for SOTUS when he was still a teenager. He was afraid of what they’d think, but because his parents are lovely people, they supported him. And they still do. Krist’s father has a running joke that he’ll let Krist marry Singto if Singto brings a durian for the dowry.

I never included Singto in my clarification thread because I knew how quickly people would dismiss anything with Singto as conniving, tricksy fanservice. But you really don’t know anything about Krist until you see him with people he considers his safe spaces. That includes people like Mike. Like Gawin. Godji. Oat. These people who love him because he’s earned it.

I know I talk about this a lot. But I won’t ignore it when people try to twist his character, especially with I see them making assumptions about the premise of Ex-Morning. All I believe is that he was angry and afraid and overwhelmed. Then he reacted, apologized, and learned how to handle the fame and the invasiveness better.

Please stop trying to claw marrow out of a past mirage.

’The hell kinda mission is this?

[daydreaming-jessi]

I was talking to my friend about cult of the lamb and the fun stuff happening in the fandom, including the growing Leshy and yellow cat ship. He asked if their title was ‘catnip’

…..

BRUH

Anyways I’ve written about Pura here, Leshy is not a fan of her, and she doesn’t like him. It’s what happens when two manipulative bitches cross paths I guess. She’s gonna learn real quick though that the bishops are not all bark and no bite tho 😬 Wish these jerks would leave poor Firyn alone, he does not deserve their nonsense.

Y’all ever think about if Sora falls to darkness that inside his heart will look like the Destiny Islands falling again

[spocksgotemotions]

my mom tried to baby trap me … with my sister’s baby. She said maybe my plans had fallen apart and changed so I could keep living at home and help take care of my sister’s baby. My sister. Who lives an hour and a half away.

I keep seeing people wonder how Ben is alive and I can tell you the exact reason and it isn’t even unrealistic

Spite!

Deadass lmao. I’m a nurse and I can tell you right now if you’ve ever worked in health care, especially long term care where you can SEE exactly how long some people go on living when it makes literally no sense you know exactly what I’m talking about. The angriest most bitter people continually defy biology physics god and everything else to keep fucking living. I’ve seen a woman who drank one glass of whole milk twice a week live for YEARS that way. She was the meanest, nastiest, most hateful woman I have ever met. (These aren’t people on supplemental nutrition either. It isn’t drugs or tube feeds or tpn. They just. won’t. die. Even when they’re hospice and they want to. The anger and desire to fuck with others keeps them kicking!)

[flowerxdance]

I need Dungeon Meshi season 2 because I need to stop seeing anime-onlys hating on Kabru and calling him a sociopath/narcissistic (completely misusing those words and misreading his entire character and being ableist at the same time).
