Hey, people with better auditory processing than me. Was Jaime praying when he was falling from the sky during the test run, and if so, what prayer was he saying?

PuthKaeng, the green&red couple: Daddy&Papi, mysterious man and lots of dots, everywhere
Hello, beautiful people! Itâs moonchild here and I hope none of you are tire of having to read the things I write because here I am, again, to talk about the only thing that gives me strength and energy to leave my bed in the morning, and the only couple that matters: PuthKaeng.
 Being honest, I had hopes that those two long ass analysis would be the last thing I would do related to them and would final begin to think about writing a fanfiction about them (yes, your resident analyst is a writer) but then, because they canât seem to leave me alone and let me breath for five minutes, a special episode came out and my brain went back to work in overdrive and started analyzing everything. I hate my brain sometimes.
Anyways. I would like to say that this wonât (hopefully) be a long analysis just like the others, only a commentary of the episode in general, me connecting the revelations we had about the âmysterious manâ and what were presented to us in the main arc of their story and me rambling in between, just because I can. Granted, the main focus of this post is to talk about the main focus of the special, which was to know who the mysterious man was, but that doesnât stop us from talking about other things in the episode as well.
When it was announced that we would have something about PuthKaeng again, it was in the guise of being an extra scene and I rushed to finish my main analysis because I was afraid that whatever was in said extra scene would throw a lot of monkey wrenches on my theories that I was writing but unfortunately that didnât happened, because the universe hates me sometimes. However, the universe also loves me because what we all thought would be a simple extra scene became a fucking 10 MINUTE SPECIAL EPISODE! Not only that, it gave me everything I wanted to see with them, and an opportunity to see them again in new things (PâChewin, I know you have a series of them ready, give it to me).
 The special episode was just beautiful and amazing, cute, pillow-biting, intense, sensual and perfect, all in once. Their chemistry was point, their acting skills were on point, the deliverance of feelings and usage of body language was on point, a solid 10/10 in my book. I would give those 10 minutes an award if I could, but because I canât, Iâm gonna talk about it the best I can.
 A small disclaimer before I start: because the episode didnât came with official subtitles (Ais Play/Copy A hates us, for sure), I had to search on YouTube for translations and found two, one of the entire episode and other of the first two and a half minutes. Iâll go back and forth between those two translations, especially when talking about the first minutes, because the translations are a bit different and convey different things, even if the context is the same. Just so you guys donât find it weird having screenshots with different fonts.
 1. Iâm addicted, Iâm addicted onlyâŠ
The episode opens with PuthKaeng in the same room, Kaeng busy doing something on his working table (probably something school related) and Puth playing videogames.
The fact that they seem so comfortable being in the same space, each one doing something on their own, shows that theyâve established some sort of routine and just by being in the same geographic space is enough for them. Puth then receives a phone call and Kaeng at first didnât seem to pay attention but turned around as soon as he heard the person on the other side of the call ask Puth âwhere he was?â, to what Puth answered that he was in âhis boyfriendâs roomâ while looking at Kaeng. The caller asks Puth to âhang out/meet upâ, making Kaeng arch an eyebrow, and Puth, while still looking at Kaeng, says that âheâs not going, because he wants to be with his boyfriendâ and after that ends the call.
 The fact that he didnât said Kaengâs name and simply said âmy boyfriendâs roomâ and âstay with my boyfriendâ and the other person didnât asked who said boyfriend was or made a big thing out of that, considering Puthâs past reputation, means that the person that called him knows exactly who that boyfriend was and that PuthKaengâs relationship is not a secret to anyone. Also, the way the word âboyfriendâ rolled out of Puthâs tongue, so easily, it shows that heâs proud to have someone to call boyfriend and have the opportunity to spend time with his boyfriend. JustâŠthe happiness energy he pours in those 30 seconds-ish of call is overwhelming.
After Puth puts down his phone and looks back at Kaeng, who is looking at Puth with a weird expression on his face, he get up his chair and goes to him, asking âwhatâs wrong, papi?â (I shit you not, when I heard that on the episode I blushed and almost screamed because it was so cute it gave diabetes) and Kaeng asked âwhy you (daddy) didnât go?â (Puth calling Kaeng âpapiâ was one thing I was not ready to go through but Kaeng calling Puth âdaddyâ and find out those are the pet names they use with each other was the death of me. God, please receive my soul in heaven), receiving a âhow can I go, I wanna stay here with youâ as answer from Puth.
Kaeng says to Puth that his explanation is a âlieâ and that âPuth wants to go, he can see it/he knows Puth very wellâ and Puth admits that, with a âsometimes, because he used to hang out a lotâ but Kaeng says a soft, and jokingly, âIâm sulking nowâ, and after Puth asks Kaeng if he âisnât bored of staying in the room?â because he âused to hang out a lot tooâ, Kaeng makes the CUTEST FACE EVER (pause to see how Kaengâs eyes GLOW when heâs looking at Puth. Seriously, how much love can that guy keep in his eyes, for them to shine like that?) and says that âheâs not used like Puth but heâs never bored of Puthâ and then they kiss.
This exchange makes me think that they are in the first weeks of dating and still trying to get used to the idea of being a couple (not that the way they were acting with each other before had any difference except the fact that they were not official but whatever), finding a common ground and a safe/comfort zone where they could stand and feel stable. New relationships are always that, new, and it takes time to get fully accustomed with them, let alone feel stable; it helps the fact that they are friends and knew basic things about each other, so now what they need to do is try to know about each other not as friends but as significant others. Thatâs why they like to spend time with each other and enjoy all the time they have together, to get to know what the other is like, as a boyfriend.
 (Before I continue, please appreciate Kaeng being totally baby. Thank you)
After the kiss, Puth ask Kaeng if they âshould find something to do?â, Kaeng, having understood something else with his question (I donât blame him, the way Puth was touching his arm, I wouldâve thought the same too) asks âhere?â and after Puth said âyesâ, Kaeng hits him lightly on the chest and complains that âheâs still soreâ (not that I needed it that but PuthKaeng versatile confirmed in only one sentence). Puth then says that Kaeng âis thinking too muchâ and that he meant âgo and find something fun to doâ. Kaeng seems uncertain about that but, as we see next, he obliged.
And the dateâŠguys, the date! Do you guys remember that Puth that didnât wanted to anyone to know that he and Kaeng were sleeping together? That Puth that denied vehemently that he was dating Kaeng (at the time, he was right), made shitty excuses to Mon so he couldnât pry for more details about what Kaeng had done to him in the night he went to their room? That Puth that didnât even wanted to be see publically with Kaeng? Well, that Puth is now walking on the streets, holding his boyfriendâs hands and oozing happiness. Seriously, the way he smiles every time he looks at Kaeng, his body language showing that heâs totally relaxed with Kaeng on his side, the way they are having fun together, even with a simple thing as an ice cream cone that they canât hold, is so fullfiling to watch because it shows that they are happy together. And Kaengâs eye smileâŠhe looks so cute and happy at the same time, it hurts seeing him so happy. They are soft with each other, feel happy with each other, feel good having each other as someone to spend time with, it just screams domesticity. They are that couple, people.
And look how Puth just throw his head back while laughing. I remember seeing somewhere, years ago, that when someone laughs that way while they are with you, it means they are really having fun. And remembering that made this scene 100x better.
Â
2. My entire heart, all of it that I have inside is for you
 Fast forward, we have PuthKaeng in a hotel room and the first thing I noticed is that they were holding hands (remember what I said about them always holding in intimate moments, back when they were only friends and how I always liked to think that it was something theirs, that they only did that with each other and how it sounded tooâŠhumâŠhow do I put thisâŠnot something that people that were not dating, especially players, would do? Yeah) and looking at each other (always the eye contact, people. This bitches been acting like a couple since the beginning), acting like the world were theirs and theirs alone.
Kaeng looked at Puth from head to toe while Puth takes off the robe Kaeng was wearing and then Kaeng took off Puthâs robe but did that while he was doing that he started to kneel down and was ready to give Puth a blowjob but Puth stopped him before Kaeng could even do something about it. The way Kaeng didnât disconnected his hands from Puthâs body shows that he enjoys feeling physically connected with the other man, in every opportunity he could get (I think that his behavior on episode 9 made that pretty clear but is never wrong to bring that fact back); Puth then asked why Kaeng was rushing things and Kaeng said that he was just warming up, before sharing a nose kiss and Kaeng kiss Puthâs nose (bringing back all the kisses from the main arc back and my thoughts about them being confirmed. Coming full circle here, people. Coming full circle!).
 Kaengâs statement about âbeing happy todayâ was something that even if he hadnât told Puth, Iâm pretty sure Puth could see that written all over his face, because the man was glowing with happiness like a Christmas tree in the middle of a shopping mall. After the Puthâs teasing about Kaeng being happy because he could âeatâ, Kaeng asking if he could âeat tonightâ, Puth saying that âtonight, he could only taste a littleâ and Kaeng pretending to âbiteâ Puth (they are talking about sex, people, nothing extraordinary here), Puth says that he would be back in a minute and then leaves the small bathroom (?) they were and this is where things start to get interesting.
 [A bit of a backstory about this: when the announcement of the âextra sceneâ came and people were excited to know who the âmysterious manâ was, I became confused because I had no idea of what people were talking about. Even after someone commented about the mysterious man being about the man who sent that message to Kaeng on episode 9, I was still confused because for me a friend of his had sent the message but brushed aside, for the perspective of having an extra scene of PuthKaeng was above any confusion.]
 Puth grabs his phone, goes to site on the border of the bathtub and is then revealed that he is the mysterious man! Mind you, we all had that revelation in an episode without subtitles, but the fact that he was sending messages to a guy that was in the same room as he was and there was no names displayed on top of the messages to identify the people in the conversation was enough for us to understand what was happening. Remember when I said that they were still getting used to the idea of being a couple and that new relationships take time to become stable? Well, Puth may be super-duper happy and see that Kaeng is happy with him but is normal to have doubts if the person next to you is actually happy or pretending just to make you happy, so Puth had to have that extra confirmation, so he used something that seemingly would make Kaeng be 100% honest (notice that Puth only does that after Kaeng said that he was happy).
 It had been a total twist receiving that information but then we had to have a double twist when after Kaeng said âI think we should stop talkingâ and the âmysterious manâ asked âwhy?â, Kaeng comes out of the bathroom, walks rather sensually towards Puth and after sitting next to him answers the question with a âbecause I have a boyfriend nowâ and then shows his tongue to Puth. Puth, understandable surprised with that turn of events, asks Kaeng if he had âalways know that it was him?â, receives a nod from Kaeng, so asks âhow Kaeng found out? Had he peeked on his phone?â and then Kaeng delivers a triple twist by saying that âthereâs only one person he knows who likes to text dot at the end of sentences in Thaiâ.
 At that moment I was like âthereâs no way thatâs how Kaeng found out about Puth being the mysterious manâ, so I went back to episodes 9 and 10, look for any moments where Puth sent any messages to confirm that he had that habit and there they were, clear as water, in EVERY SINGLE MESSAGE. Iâm not saying that lightly, since the FIRST message that Puth sent in episode 9, which a reply to Nong Jumboâs message about missing him, until the LAST message he sent, which was to Kaeng to tell him that he wanted to talk to him later, ALL had dots in the end.
That made my jaw drop because it is such a small detail, something we had in front of us the entire time, but never actually stopped to pay attention and it was that fucking small detail that made Kaeng caught him as soon as he sent a message, pretending to be someone else.
 And the fact that Kaeng knew since the beginning that it was Puth brings forward two situations:
It is established that we started their main arc with Kaeng already liking Puth. And I said in the final part of my theory, in the timeline of events, that both of them had cut off contact with any potential sexual partners, so Kaeng only continued talking to the mysterious man because he knew it was Puth. If it werenât for the inability of Puth for using fakes (seriously, thatâs hilarious to be honest, being discovered because you like to use dots in the end of sentences. Itâs like people knowing itâs me just because I never use abbreviations when I write messages. True story), Kaeng wouldâve blocked him as soon the first message got in his Line account. Knowing that, no wonder he smiled after reading the message;
Puth sent the message, put down his phone and got back to the room whistling âDear Friendâ, a song that talks about someone having feelings for their friend, a situation they didnât intended to happen. So, now we have a guy that receives a message from the other guy he likes, using a fake account, seeing said guy he likes, whom he just had two rounds, or possible more, of sex, getting back to the room whistling a song about a friend liking another friend. And considering that, in that scene, it was the first time we were introduced to that song in their story, it gives another meaning to everything, doesnât?
Now, we need to understand why Puth resorted to such âextremeâ measures to talk to Kaeng, if they were already talking normally and itâs not like any other person had access to his phone. If I hadnât un-hold it the theory of Puth also liking Kaeng from the beginning, that specific scene of the revelation of him being the mysterious man wouldâve make me do that on the spot. Taking in consideration that at the time of the unfolding of the events from episode 9 Puth thought that Kaeng was still sleeping around (even if he was suspecting of Kaeng having feelings for him), his own feelings had to be well hidden. However, feelings are sneaky little bitches that the longer you try to suppress them, stronger and hard to hide they become and Puth is an affectionate person with those he likes, so he needed to find a way of getting close to Kaeng without actually getting close to him and what better way of doing that than with a fake profile? That way Puth couldâve be a friend to Kaeng, probably even drop some hints about liking him and see how Kaeng would react to them, establish a connection with him and at the same time avoiding the possibility of getting his feelings rejected in real life, after all if Kaeng was still talking to other potential partners it wasnât a good omen to him; like I said before, feelings made Puth really dirty.
 So, the cat is out of the bag. Puth knows that Kaeng knows that heâs the mysterious man sending him messages and donât know how to feel about that, so he says that ânow Kaeng knows it all, how much he loves himâ (adding credibility to my idea of Puth having using the fake account to show that he liked Kaeng) and Kaeng tells Puth that he âdoesnât need to be embarrassed, because itâs cuteâ, that âhe likes itâ and then to Puth to âtry to speak like in the textâ aka being romantic. After this, we had the single most emotionally devastating moment of the entire episode and the perfect way of ending a special episode: Puth looked at Kaeng like the man in front of him was the most precious treasure he had encounter in his life and it is possible to see how he also has Kaeng in his eyes, just like Kaeng have him in his eyes. He takes a deep breath, open and closes his mouth once before saying âKaeng, I love youâ, his eyes shining with love just like Kaengâs eyes were shining with love in the beginning of the episode, and Kaeng reply with a âI love you tooâ before they kiss and the episode ends.
 I highlighted Kaengâs name in the love declaration because in this episode, this name had a special weight. Throughout the entirety of the episode, PuthKaeng always used âdaddyâ and âpapiâ to refer to themselves, a fact that made me feel more single than I already feel in a daily basis, but when the subject was to tell Kaeng how he feel about him, Puth preferred to use his name, in an almost reverent tone, and tell Kaeng that he loved him. And the way Kaengâs eyes also shined after listening those words and the soft tone he used to answer PuthâŠhonestly, I canât deal with them anymore, Iâm done.
 PuthKaeng has a story more complex than we couldâve ever predict. They are men with complex personalities, insecurities even with their appearances of people secure of what they want, donât know how to express their feelings but when they do, you know is not something superficial, is the reality. It took them a long time to be together, they almost lost the opportunity to experience the love they have for each other, cried, made mistakes and misunderstood a lot of things. But now that they are together, I am sure that they will make everything in their power to make it work, will solve their problems the best way they can, will continue to support each other, be their best partners, their safe zones and each otherâs hearts. After all, the love the have is forever; and even beyond that.

shipping to australia is a nightmare. anytime I go to do any online shopping Iâm instantly stopped by the thought of shipping. hahahahahahaha at least thatâd be a funny way to go out tho
yeah true!! every time Iâm watching a vod Iâll get so startled cause they always pop up when youâre least expecting them too. Iâve only got my prime sub and I havenât tested it but I have a feeling that twitch would still give you ads. they seem like the type
so true Iâm not paying hundreds of dollars for textbooks Iâm barely gonna use for half a year. oof that sucks. if I didnât google my way through those exams I guarantee I would have failed thoughđ
đ
then one subject that was ungoogleable, I did fail. god now I feel bad about how terrible a student I am
itâs so nice to see dream being on streams and having fun and interacting with other people !! it sucks cause I would absolutely LOVE to see dream on ppsat but I hate the idea of toxic people that would find reasons to shit on them :// like with gartic phone the other day. I felt like so toxic when the twitter updates account tweeted that dream was there cause I knew the âtwitter stansâ were coming. and I donât even have a terribly negative view of stans as a whole. and then turns out it was justified and then I felt even worse. the gumi stuff pissed me off too. feeling a bit bad for dream tho. mans canât even play with his friends without them getting attacked. I clicked on the links in your subtitle/heading/whatever itâs called when I first followed you like 6 or so months ago. was pretty funny
damnnn youâre doing all of those?? thatâs tough. I dropped language (french) in yr 10 and decided to never touch maths again after I finished highschool and I loweky like maths too. oh I will 100% be telling people to touch grass that is so funny. I also canât say anything about the nerd thing cause I just fully had the thought âwhat if I write an essay on the internet and itâs effect on language developmentâ
Yes!! please tales!! where is it!! my weekly dose of happiness. I remember the last tales stream I watched like it was yesterdayđȘ I miss the ____ my beloved gifs that would be everywhere everytime a new character was introduced. I may have very little clue about any of the in between/the other side lore but damn were the builds insanely good. I was watching tubboâs stream too and he said there wasnât anything to do on the dream smp and like true ig butđ„Čđ„Č he also said heâs been thinking about lore on twitter tho!!! so there is that !! hmm yeah I do wonder what theyâre waiting for actually cause itâs been genuinely so long that c!dreamâs been in the prison for. I wanna why itâs so important cause cc!dream and cc!sam put a lot of emphasis on it. and I just really really want to see what c!dream will be like out of the prison. for so many reasons
oh nooo ripppp. thatâs kinda funny tho. the video was so short that was funny too. sapnap and george 2000iq moment nice. it was a nice vid tho, chill and enjoyable. so much dream content recently I feel like heâs about to drop off the face of the earth or miraculously stream something (highly unlikely but I can hope)
When streamers runs ads you gey a warning! But when vods do it itâs just a hey haha fuck you! Youâre 100% right about twitch jeff bezo wouldnât let any thing go to waste. Heâs not the ceo right now but I hate him anyways. Iâve never actually used prime sub because I donât have amazon prime, but Iâve been gifted subs a couple of times which was neat!
You know I may not be the best student but as someone who has cried a lot because of school I think itâs morally correct to be a bad student Cheat!! Youâre paying then money they owe your ass so fucking much!! Abuse their resources stick it to the man. No time in life for guilt especially considering that universities are just corporations anyways they made hide behind the guise of learning but Iâm calling them out no way knowledge gotta cost this much
I also love seeing dream stream with his other friends! To badly quote scott smajor, the dream team is made up of anti social sweaty fucks (affectionate). Heâs always so awkward at first and ngl? Huge confidence booster /j/j. Logically I understand that twitter update accounts are useful, but I think they should all collectively take a break for a minute. Would it change anything? No. But it would make a lot of people very unhappy. I donât even know what to do about toxic twitter stans because like, content creators and us can call them out and not at all condone their actions but we canâf actually do anything about it? Itâs super frustrating. And I feel like a hypocrite too because if dream does stuff with a cc I hate I bitch about it too I just donât have as far a reach. Like I for sure threw a whole fit when dream went on to kaceytronâs stream. Actually I tend to get upset when he goes onto streams with people who actively hate him. So I struggle with that because despite feeling like Iâm justified in doing that, twitter stans feel justified in their stuff too. You could argue that itâs different because the chance that the ccs will see it is near 0 but itâs still the same behavior isnât it? For sure not saying twitter stans are right, they piss me off how dare they say shit about gumi, but also I worry that I act similar you know?
Iâm glad is was amusing I havenât gotten any angry anons so I can never tell if the links are working or not
Listen listen itâs less that I chose this and more that theyâre requirements. Spanish is a req, but Iâve always really liked spanish? Iâve found with learning languages I have to be interested in the lanrguageâs history/culture. So french makes me mad but spanish makes me feel cozy and I like it! I pick up spanish pretty fast too and Iâd like to be actually fluent in it some day. Language as a whole is super interesting. Also the internet has made language even more interesting with widespread similarities and what not
Listen I would agree more with tubbo but instead Imm going to lighheartedly call him a coward whoâs afraid of surprise lore! He said he would be there more often if other people logged on more often but I know for a fact other people feel the same and by him not regularly logging on heâs adding to it! I think foolish, ponk, puffy, and bbh have really upped my standards for lore. They log on at least once a week and make their own plot. Like bro if youâre bored start some shit tommy style! Personally I would make enemies with all the beets people. Tubbo has such cool lore I just wish he was willing to be a little more spontaneous. He was tired last night though so I can see his boredom beinf effected by that. I really really enjoyed bear smp those guys were so fucking funny and I will be watching more of them. Need to catch up on hermitcraft too
Whoâs to say he canât drop off the face of the planet and stream? He can multitask. Also hems been big on reddit recently so weâll see where that leads ajddj

- ok a y but hear me out, merlins a servant. i have not seen any of these servants been asked to train with the royals??? like in the sense where it helps the servant train as well?? and the FIRST thing arthur does with merlin as his servant is train with him. not only is arthur a huge JOCK, heâs not using his manservant properly
- neverfuckingmind âmost servants collapse after the first blowâ, so it seems to be arthur likes to train with his servants. now that in itself is a question to be asked, but is he the only royal who trains with his servants??? how did this man survive on his own without a personal servant until merlin??? did he have a personal servant??? was it just regular servants?? who are those other servants he trained with??? did arthur just say hey lets go to the field in the morning, put on armour and letâs have a fun time?? UNLESS merlin literally just took someones job away from them kmao
- also my mind went right to the gutter guys, ngl, it sounded like an innuendo. it had me quaking i wish i was one of those servants
- âwe all have our duties, even arthurâ âit must be so tough for him, all the *hesitates* girl, all the gloryâ
- so we probably get at least 1 out of every 2 episodes where thereâs a scene with merlin dressing arthur in his armour. bring the popcorn, lads.
- MORGANA LOOKING LIKE A FRICKEN SNACK
- the reigning champion is arthur, wonder fucking w h y
- valiant is in fucking mustard, while arthur is fucking ketchup idk why i thought of that but it happened. my literature teacher always told me to look for symbolisms. guess we found one guys.
- merlin after hating on arthur for the past episode is literally just cheering arthur on like a good husband he is
- did ARTHUR JUST SNICKER AT MERLINS âCREEPâ LMAO DON'T TRY AND HIDE IT BY HUFFING AT HIM AFTERWARDS YOU FUCKING GOOF
- omg he hid it by telling merlin to do a full novel of chores

- âvery aggressive styleâ I MEAN SURE UTHER
- valerie be fuckboying morgana lmao with a âi saw you watchingâ and a, âthen i will give everything to win the tournamentâ
- i wish this show was set in the early 2000s so i can see val in low sweatpants, a backwards cap with gelled spiky hair and cheap neon sunglasses (maybe even some gold teeth just for kicks), while hes trying to rap 50 cents or make a mixtape of brit pop songs. bc yes.
- honestly im loving my 2000 fuckboy au. gonna make an ao3 after this.
- of course merlin would be the one to find out the magic shit in valiants room, it just lures him. AND OF COURSE VALIANT IS THERE
- i'm so fucking glad arthur looks confused as to how merlin did what he asked. when u have this kind of hubby, arthur, its amazing what things he can do.
- i dont know why theres dramatic music as merlin put armour on arthur but im living for it
- âis it my imagination or are you beginning to enjoy yourself?â merlin doesn't know what to say to that bc heâs turning gay and doesn't know if that counts as enjoying oneself when the one you are gay for is the asshole prince
- typically enough, valiant and arthur never fight except for the finale. like with all conveniences in place, youd expect them to have at least fought at some point with as much knights as there to determine the final two but no, just the finale. k.
- this poor fucking purple knighted bloke didnât need to be fucking demonstrated on, val. like you didn't need to kill him?? that could have blown ur cover
- DID NOBODY SEE THAT??? DID NOBODY SEE THE FUCKING SNAKES???
- oooh merlin found out what happened everyone gonna be fucked. nobody harms arthur is he has something to say about it
- if someone starts off a sentence with âi just saw someones snakes on their shield come aliveâ nobody would fucking believe you, merls. but given the fact that magic exist⊠mhh maybe it wouldnât be too absurd. but ppl apparently are thick as hell
- âwhy were you in his chambersâ well i know how id explain if i was in valiants chambers ;)
- jk i dont fall for this toxic shit
- imagine getting paid as an actor just just lie down there like this poisoned kid. âyeah, id like to audition for ewanâs role???â âwhy are you lying on the ground?â
- i hate those tropes where it's like âi know how to tell someones bad, hereâs proofâ and then nobody believes you and tells you youâre lying and should die or whatever but then you kNOW IT'S THE FUCKIN TRUTH BITCH that trope gives me damn anxiety >:((
- yes merlin, fucking slash the shield with your sword. i'm sure that's how it works. im sure it will kill the snakes.
- HOWA RE THE SNAKES ALIVE WITHOUT VAL SAYING âISHNAHASHAHIâ
- i think val would know that you cut off the snakeâs head, merls, just saying. ur were the oNLY ONE.
- TELL ARTHUR WHAT??? âI CUT A SNAKEâ
- EXACLTY ONG THAT'S WHAT MERLIN FUCKING SAID I WAS RIGHT LMAO
- ARTHUR BELEIVED HIM I'M FUCKING LIVING BUT IK WHAT HAPPENS AND AHH
- uhhh the anxiety is rolling up boys
- ewan is mcfuckingdead
- snake be sliding in like a hoe on a business
- bfehfjdjfskf i hate this part
- arthur's pride, merlinâs pride, fuck me
- i'm not even gonna write this part, it breaks my fragile heart when arthur sees the look of people not believing him, especially his dad, and merlin seeing how arthur doesn't trust him anymore like prepare the eulogies girlies
- okay but if arthur is struck and gaius has the antidote?? arthur aint gonna die technically
- but now val knows merlin knows
- AND MERLIN INTERVENES
- why are royals so bitchy towards servants. like they do their best to help you??? they are loyal to you and are paid there to serve you and are often very kind, generous, passive, understanding people??? yet merlin interrupts uther and he fucking sends him to the pit
- VAL YOU ASS LMAO DON'T HURT MY SONâS PRIDE
- he said allegations like four times, yes uther we know ur vocab is shining with intellect but seriously, thereâs other synonyms that could still be acceptable and still sound fancy
- quick search on google bc my mind doesnt roll fast enough: claim, assertion, charge, accusation, declaration, statement, contention, deposition, argument, affirmation. see daddy uther, not hard to look up.
- forget they didnt have internet whoopsies
- :((( arthur doesn't trust merlin anymore
- the husbands FIGHT
- not just a banter petty fight, this is a huge fight
- SACKING MERLIN DON'T FUCKING SACK MERLIN YOU GOOF
- TRUST UR HUBBY
- FUCK
- I'M GONNA CRY AND IT'S ONLY EPISODE TWO
- I'M HAVING EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS CONCERNING MY TWO BOYS
- GUYS IM NOT OKAy
- its been 2 minutes after i wrote that last sentence, and i am now okay
- âa half cannot truly hate that which makes it wholeâ iconic as hell. so many things could be said about that quote. either for innuendo purposes, love purposes, destiny purposes, how long it took me to say it right, just so many purposes man. itâs just iconic.
- merlin looks absolutely done with kilgaharamaâs shit
- âjust give me a straight answerâ seems like kilgarass here is being too gay for merlin
- gwen already knows merlinâs the heroin of the series, saying everyone knows it's merlin who will save the day. but same tbh
- i dunno if this is like me or not but it says her nickname is gwyn in the subtitles but im typing it as gwen which i thought was how u wrote it, even if her full name is gwynevere but like gwen has a ring to it while gwyn sounds like gwin or smth and i dunno which one is right so ill just leave it alone ahjsjfk
- MORGANA HAS VISIONS WE ALREADY KNOW WHERE THIS GOES SHES MAGIC ISNT SHE HAHAHAHAUHD
- merlin trying one last time to convince his husband not to die, but at least this time arthur knows heâs up for valâs magic and is like âk iloveyou but i have to do this for the country not just bc of pride and thinking val is not magicâ
- staring into the fire like heâs hoping it would suck him up into the void, not only is merlin a now confirmed emo, so is fucking arthur it seems. perfect for one another i'm telling you
- eerie music as morgana enters⊠wha suddenly i can't read
- i thought at first morgana and arthur were gonna end up together cause of the fucking weird tension going on and i was prepared to be disfuckinggusted but no! the show and producers actually put my expectations away and helped me see that it wasnât going in that direction! thank fucking god!Â
- k but arthur looks majestic in his gear im just a huge bi
- âdonât go into my roomâ he says then gaius peaks in and almost gets mauled by a large chihuahua
- me too val, id step on someone's toes then fuck them up with an undercut. thats the bad bitch way to go. unless it for arthur, then val hahaha you can go fuck yourself
- no one sees mErLin??
- but they now see the snakes smh fakes
- âwhat are you doing? i didn't summon youâ i don't think that will work val cause you didn't say it with a serpent tongue, it has to sound more like âshhashhwhat ahhssare hiisssyou iisshhaadoing?â
- okay but i thought arthur was impaled for a half second until he started to talk then i screamed that he was aight and he would now believe merlin
- uther better give merlin an apology
- arthur just said he wouldnt
- but still uther BETTER APOLOGISE TO FUCKING MERLIN
- âyknow i wish valiant was escorting meâ âme tooâ i thought for a fricken moment arthur wished valiant would have escorted HIM. i'm dying.OMG
- âi wanted to say i made a mistake. it was unfair to sack you.â âdonât worry about it. buy me a drink and weâll call it even.â DID YOU JUST SAY WHAT I THINK YOU JUST SAID MERLIN YOU SLY DOG OMG
- âi canât really be seen to be buying drinks for my servant.â so if he wasnât ur servant?? youâd say yes?? they are so fucking gay i can't anymore
- yeah, i literally fucking can't

Naruto Spectacular
Seating/Glasses
Second back row, almost right at the wall. Awful seating, but I could still see things clearly. Some people had binoculars ;; This year I decided not to go with the translator glasses â Iâm sure they have a proper name, but theyâre these cool glasses you wear when watching the performance and as the characters speak, subtitles come up. I believe theyâre available in English and Chinese. Something like Naruto is easy for me to understand without subtitles, and last year I felt like only the main points were being subbed, instead of everything (maybe a fear people couldnât read fast enough?) so Iâd probably only recommend them if your Japanese is lacking. Iâm not sure if theyâd work properly sitting so far away either â maybe theyâd overlap on the actors too much? I think theyâre better if you use them up close tbh.
The Show
I apologise for skipping between musical, spectacular, play, spectacle and show ;;;
We start off with Konohamaru fighting bad guys. Personally I donât care for him, and it was really an excuse to put an actor in the audience and for Naruto to look cool when he saved Konohamaru. Unnecessary scene, and from my spot, hard to see.
Essentially everything up to the âfind Sasukeâ arc is ignored. So if youâre hoping for Sakura screen time, youâd best go back to the source material. In saying that, Sakuraâs fight with Sasori is mentioned a few times, and she explains Sasoriâs mannerisms to Yamato when they do the whole âKabuto is Sasoriâs spyâ scene. I can understand why they skipped it, as while it was hella cool to watch her kick ass, itâd be difficult to do in a stage play and youâd need to get the Suna Three back for such small scenes etc etc. Maybe if they do this play again next year, they can add that in. Tsunade gets a song as she kinda explains the mission, but honestly, you could give her lines to literally any other character. Sheâs not that influential. I think she looks like Tsunade, but her speaking voice feels too harsh to me.
Sai is golden. He looks fine, he looks like Sai, sounds like Sai. Like, yâall, I realise thatâs what acting is, but not everyone can do it well. After the show, and in the break, numerous people went and bought Sai goods. (Also Itachi goods) He was a perfect Sai. When theyâre finding Sasuke in Orochimaruâs lair, Naruto and Sai have a song and itâs pretty touching⊠until Sai tries to sing about Narutoâs dick. Naruto has the most perfect âdude, for real?â look and I canât wait to see it on dvd.
Speaking of new team 7 â Yamatoâs scary face is done so so well! They end up putting it on a large screen behind him. It looks mostly like someone with a torch on their face, so itâs a little cheesy, but it works really well in the scenes itâs done in (two or three times?). Sakura also did her âmeeting Saiâ scene, when she hits both Naruto and Sai, incredibly well. Not only is she insanely cute, sheâs the perfect Sakura. Enough cool and enough cute. If they continue to do musicals until the completion of the show, Iâm a little worried how Sasuke-obsessed theyâll make her, but so far itâs been toned down, which I appreciate.
Unfortunately Sai doesnât try to capture Sasuke in his sleep. I can understand why (unnecessary stage props and all), but Sasuke being such a moody bitch when he wakes up that he blows up the base will forever be one of my favourite things. The whole meeting Naruto and co scene is kind of a let down too. It was nice, but considering how thatâs how Shippuden opened and the build up to get there, the play didnât have the same feel. This play was rushed a little, and this scene suffered for it.
Sasuke killing Orochimaru was great tho. Orochimaruâs voice will always be amazing, speaking or singing, so Iâll probably never say an Orochimaru scene is bad lol It was sufficiently creepy (though again, a little too fast) and gave Sasuke and Orochimaru equal voices.
Another scene that suffered was collecting Taka. This one I mostly grumble at due to my Taka-bias tho. Obviously they canât spend episodes gathering the three of them, and to be fair, they did get a song. Karin was a little overly sexual, but considering they only showed her being ott twice? I wonât complain (especially in that outfit â she can honestly do what she wants and Iâll agree ;;;) Sometimes it was actually kind of cute. Another scene cut was finding Zabuzaâs sword. Considering the time it took in the anime, and all the scene changes, it makes sense, but I enjoyed seeing Sasuke actually test his team â here, we have him just believing theyâll be suitable instead of confirming it. Juugoâs whole âmale femaleâ scene was good too, and Karin egging Juugo on in his fight against Suigetsu was a good touch too.
In between scenes we often have Akatsuki stuff â Itachi generally barges in on Sasukeâs songs to tell him heâs weak af, and wherever Itachi goes, Kisame goes too. Naruto and Taka sometimes join as well, same for Deidara.
I really liked Deidara. Unfortunately his character was greatly reduced, but considering he isnât insanely plot relevant, I guess it doesnât make much of a difference⊠(Un?)fortunately, when he creates the giant Deidara, itâs a blow up. I was trying really hard not to cackle. Itâs ridiculous. I lowkey hate it, lowkey love itâs cheesiness. Also, from where I was sitting, the tongue that is in his chest looks a little like something else. It just kinda⊠sprung free and I couldnât take it seriously at all =.= I guess this scene was gold for all the wrong reasons lol
The search team is sent out for Sasuke and them running looks so stupid. I understand how hard it is to run around, since the space is so limited, but maybe instead of such a long running scene, have some of it just be talking? Maybe it looked good from the centre of the audience, but from my spot, it looked really lame. Kurenaiâs team makes an appearance, but get a line or two each. Karin still gets Juugo to help her scatter Sasukeâs stuff, but I donât believe itâs explicitly said what her plan is, so unless youâve seen the show/read the manga (safe to say most audience members would â but sometimes people come to these things just because (shout out to the 80 year old couple at the Digimon play), or are accompanying a friend), you wouldnât know what her plan was.
Next is the Itachi vs Sasuke scene and it was so good. Like, idk how to explain it. They had doubles for clones, it was spot on with lines and emotions. The audience got really involved in it, and it sucks that you know whatâs coming because it hurts that much more⊠Iâd say this is probably the highlight of the play. Obviously theyâre two popular characters and their actions, since even before their introductions, have been the driving force of some plot incidents (Itachi killing the clan motivates Sasuke to be strong, goes to Orochimaru) and other characterâs motivation (Sasukeâs abscence motivates Team 7), not to mention how emotional this scene is, so I think a lot of time and effort was placed into this scene. It worked really well and I wish I could explain it better ;;;
Taka becomes Hebi, and Tobi is done really well. Tobi interacts with Pein and Konan as well, but mostly with the Uchiha brothers. Iâm biased toward Tobi as he ran up to us in the finale and I could high five him, but shush. Those gloves are real nice but in this heat I canât imagine theyâd be super comfortableâŠ
The ending song is the same (and I really hope we get a cast version soon â honestly last yearâs Gaara/Oro duet part was ICONIC). Naruto also had some hella cool rad sticks and when he spun them, it made a Naruto face and stuff. Rad af.
In the comments, Sasuke just kept cackling, while Yamato and Sai were minor low key throwing shade at Deidara and Tobi who were actually speaking. They were dorks so there was plenty of time to laugh at them lol This team works together so well and you can see theyâre good friends â sometimes you donât feel that but in a series that is based on, partly at least, the power of friendship and love, thatâs super important.
Honestly, while this year lacked the jumping around action of last yearâs, I think it kinda showed how they characters matured? As soon as it ended I wanted to see it again! While I wanted to see last years again too, I was more serious about seeing this years again, but this late in the season makes it way too difficult  Guess I just have to wait for next year!
How does it compare to last year?
I saw last yearâs performance as well. Personally, I liked this yearâs better. I am hugely Taka-biased tho. Even though my seats werenât as good this year (were as bad as you could get tbh â last year I was in the second block, if I had been one row closer I could have high touched the actors), I feel more touched by this yearâs performance â partly because it was more emotional to a lot of characters I guess? More interesting scenes too â the Lee/Naruto wake up scene last year was cute (and everything with InoShikaCho was amazing, and this musical didnât have anything on that type of team bond/audience interaction feel, which was kinda sad), but this year had things like Orochimaru dying, so I guess it had less time for âfillerâ. Also, while I donât hate Naruto, heâs not even in the top five of my fave Naruto characters ;; If anything, I felt like he was unnecessarily added in some scenes in this performance.
Also, while I didnât talk to the fans (lots of people come by themselves, donât want to talk to others and thatâs ok! And Iâm sure some of them are confused by the foreigner and worry about their English/my level of Japanese so donât strike up a conversation and Iâm too shy to do start one), when I was trying to organise the stupid amount of merch I bought, one girl offered to hold my coffee and someone else helped me when I dropped something. Also, the girls really brought their a-game this year and were splendidly dressed. I⊠wore a Naruto shirt and was underdressed in comparison ;;;
I felt like the girls around me were more emotional as well. Maybe some of the crowd last year had already seen the previous yearâs performance and therefore knew what was coming, but more people were crying this year. This year felt a lot more fast paced, so everything happened faster and there were more intense moments, and I guess it was more than likely mostly Uchiha fans in the audience, which probably had something to do with it, but still, I think this audience was more involved than last yearâs was.
There were some people waiting for the actors to leave (so they could wave them off in their taxis) but security practically pushed me out. Considering they werenât doing the same to anyone else, I do feel it was race motivated â maybe they thought I wouldnât fight back due to lacking Japanese, or something? Either way it was hella rude as I was getting my phone, train pass etc out of my bag and everyone was pretty far from where the taxis were going to be driving anyway. If someone spends 7000 yen on a ticket and then more than that on goods and preorders the bluray, while I donât necessarily want respect, I think the least I deserve, the least type of customer service I should receive, is not being shoved.
Iâd recommend the stage performances regardless. Seeing them live is so much more fun than watching them on a dvd! Obviously it isnât realistic for everyone to do that, but try to at least support the official release in some way.

Week Seven: Home is where something is...
So if you didnât notice (which the majority of mankind didnât), I missed last week. It wasnât an accident, contrary to popular opinion the loser that writes this bachelorette blog every week HAS a life and passed on it for a week to live.Â
Moving on... Itâs Hometowns (HOLY SHIT)
ERIC (BALTIMORE)
Eric:Â âThis is the nice part of the city... and this is NOT where Iâm from.â
Previously on The Wire
They start the day Love & Basketball style, on the courts of the Charm City. DJ Jazzy Jeffâs little brother interrupts the date to boost his boyâs stock.Â
Lilâ JJ: âHe hasnât brought a girl home since prom... and that was up and through the window, he slammed too.âÂ
The couple shows up at Ericâs auntâs apartment with some weeds and a tin of CVS brand cookies. Why does Eric look exactly like his aunt, but nothing like his momma? *thinking emoji*
Ericâs Aunt:Â âLetâs bring up the four letter word we are all thinking about; LOVEÂ R-A-C-E.â - Oh yeah... Well that didnât take long.Â
Pretty much your typical hometown visit... âThen ya get home and she leâ yo ass for a white boy!â Bye Eric.Â
BRYAN (MIAMI)
Spanish, dominos, and Calle Ocho... We are mediocre beat away from a Pitbull video.
Listening to Bryan describe his family is making me extremely uncomfortable:Â âMy dad is soft spoken and charming and my mom is a latin fireballâ - Do you want her to meet them or fuck them?! Only to find out that all of Bryanâs relationships have ended because of his mother... and when Rachel walks in we quickly learn why.Â
This. Bitch. Be. Scary.Â
She stares latin machetes right through Rachelâs soul. I wonder if Rachel is getting the same subtitles that we are... cause I have no clue what is coming out of Bryanâs Momâs mouth.Â
That woman has at least six people trailing the Rachelâs GMC to the airport.Â
PETER (MADISON)
What grown adults live in Madison?Â
Peter:Â âEvery Saturday is the farmers market.â - Man Card Revoked!Â
After the farmers market they head to the local watering hole where Peter last ate with his side bitch friends. Who, in coincidental fashioned, all happen to be right outside the door.Â
This all makes sense now... All Peterâs friends are mixed couples.Â
Rachel:Â âPeter told me he had black friendsâ - That has got to be the whitest thing said on earth.Â
Peter:Â âI would like to steal the gentlemen for a little guy time.â - Ok, well I stand corrected.Â
We meet Peterâs family, but I am not sure where he gets his gap-tooth or lack obesity from... Glad to see his mom is still holding that mid-west, John and Kate plus eight hairstyle strong!Â
Rachel:Â âI melt when I see Peter with his niece, I think he is ready for a family!â
Ummmm I get really happy to go on my friendâs boat, but doesnât mean anyone should trust me with one.
DEAN (ASPEN)
Dean strolls down the dirt road in size Jr. Slim sweatpants.
Rachel:Â âWho am I meeting today?â
Dean:Â âMy Brothers, my sister, my Kungaleeniogiedjshfajdbf Sikh dad that I havenât talked to in 2 years...â *record scratch*Â
What... The Fuck... Did he... Just say?Â
The bachelorette seems like the appropriate time to reconnect with your Sultan father.
The two walk in the door and I immediately feel straight discomfort/in serious need of a Xanax... AND IâM ON MY DAMN COUCH. This cannot go well and I canât wait. Dean aka an embarrassed 13 year-old is not feeling this situation at. all.Â
The father/son duo have their first one-on-one in years and Daddy Dean starts ripping his sonâs energy a new a-hole. While Rachel is outside in the middle of an emotional roller coaster with Deanâs sister.
This shit is getting real fast. This might be the most raw moment on the bachelorette and its taking place in the on the ground in a hut in the middle of nowhere. Who knew?
ROSE CEREMONY
Rachel put on an entire seasonâs worth of makeup for this rose ceremony, shit must be getting down to the nitty gritty.Â
Down to Peter and Dean for the final rose... AND Rachel sends Dean (the kid who just went through a lifeâs worth of family drama in front of the world) home. That kid earned himself limitless ass for the next 10 years from this episode, heâll be fine.Â
See you next week.Â
