[dribs-and-drabbles]

So 10 Years Ticket has ramped up the complexity in ep 4 and I'm left reeling like the murder board meme. Who the fuxk is everyone and what is their relationship to each other? That needs answering before we even get close to who killed Mai and more importantly why. Because it definitely wasn't Luk and her confessing has to have something more than just hiding the dodgy things Mai was doing from his family to save his reputation.

Now here's where the language nuance might obscure some obvious things but it seems the police inspector, Champ, and the movie theatre owner, Piak, are potentially brothers (biological maybe?) and their father is a local crime boss. That's my most basic interpretation. Or they could just be unrelated subordinates... And Pin is looking most likely as Mai's mother. I'm not sure of her relationship with Piak but they could also be siblings.

With the money that exchanged hands, I don't quite understand the two lots of 800,000 baht...but maybe I'm not supposed to yet. Piak brought one lot to his father whilst So and Plu were...what? stealing?...another lot from some other shady people. Was that supposed to be in exchange for something which Plu didn't hand over? Or were they there just to collect the money and had to protect themselves from the shady three potentially trying to steal it back? And one lot of the 800,000 was ransom money for the character Marc plays (that was a nice surprise too!)...so who is he related to/work for that can pay for his release like that?

Oh it's all so fascinating and I can't wait to see it all unravel.

I also thought the ep did a fantastic job of showing Phukao's changing perspective - we know from the trailer he's going to be on Kongkwan's 'side' at some point and the way he was deeply contemplative this ep makes this eventual transition completely believable already. And a lot of that is down to Ohm and the direction he received.

I love this show. Everyone is so fascinating and have been cast SO WELL. And the MUSIC. God the music is STUPENDOUS. I'm brimming with excitement at how everything is going to develop.

(Please. I wish I didn't have to say this but please for the love of all the ql gods, if this is based on a novel, DO NOT TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BOOK. Please and thank you.)

Cw: I guess there’s a question about genitals? And a death mention, or rather mention of someone wishing death on someone else. I think that’s it. Except for the “not exactly incest but close enough to be disturbing” one.

Generally, when someone you love is dealing with a controlling person, the most helpful thing is to be the opposite of that. Meaning, if your boyfriend complains about his family, before you jump in and give advice, ask him if he wants advice or just a listening ear. Instead of telling him what he should do about a situation with them, ask him what he wants to do. Controlling people convince their targets that they can’t do the simplest things on their own, and a good antidote is to honor the person’s strength and agency as much as possible.

I just wanna, y’know, be clear that I’m not pulling “affirming the agency of people you care about who you’re afraid might get stuck in toxic relationships” out of my ass. This is common advice from people who seem to know what they’re talking about.

(In this case it’s the romantic partner thinking the family is being controlling, but it works both ways, and with friendships, work environments, etc.)

More excerpts and my commentary under the cut.

6. “Should I wait for proposal before I move to be with him?”

Exactly how pissed/devastated would you be if you moved and then he broke up with you six months later? If the answer is “extremely”, this is a great time for “if you want me to move for you then you should put a ring on it.”

This is what marriage is for. It’s so when you’re deciding whether it’s worth making your life worse in the short term, you’ve got some level of assurance that it’s not going to be just about the short term. For moves, for financially supporting a partner in school and/or tolerating say med school stress and terminal unavailability, for putting your career on the back burner to stay home with the kid/kids. For deciding whether it’s time to get pregnant/keep the pregnancy/adopt. Sure, some people do enter parenthood deliberately single and sure, there should be more ways to legally and socially recognize chosen family, absolutely. Also…there are some things it’s a lot easier to get through if someone else is promising you that you don’t have to get through it alone.

7. “i start fuxking up text when triwd”

Who doesn’t, friend. Who doesn’t.

9. “How to make your boyfriend realize that you are irreplaceable.”

Oh, sweetie.

You don’t, though. If he’s not treating you as well as you need him to, you decide your boyfriend is replaceable. You can’t make someone realize anything. It just…sigh, not morally can’t, actually can’t.

I know attachment is a Big Deal and it’s easier said than done.

KC Davis’s Tiktok (@domesticblisters) and book. Her “There are only 5 things in any room” cleaning method was one of those anvil-to-head moments for me, a person who knows how to clean but who was repeatedly defeated by the cycle of where to start and what order to do them in.

Whoa.

Ok, I feel exhausted just looking at that (the video.) But, how pragmatic. How realistic. How non-judgemental. Yeah, sometimes spaces look like that, sometimes things don’t have a place where they belong. Wow.

In terms of interpersonal relationships and cleaning, I generally think that you should try as much as possible to share housing with people who have similar needs and approaches to cleaning as you, since there’s no magic way to turn a messy person into a neat person or make a neat person ignore mess.

Solid advice.

I also think that assumptions are bad, assumptions based on gender are worse, and spelling out who will clean what when in as boring and straightforward a way as possible is the best antidote to those assumptions (and best chance at household harmony).

12. “Polyamory that involve a sibling relationship dating the same person morally ok.”

Gaaaaaah oogie squick ouch whyyyyy

(More seriously: I don’t know that it’s morally wrong, and indeed there’s kind of a history in at least some cultures that practice/practiced polygyny (one dude, multiple wives) of preferring sisters since I guess they’re already used to living with each other or something? But in a 21st century polyamory/non-monogamy context, it’s risky in that if there’s an ugly break-up or other relationship drama, the siblings still have to face each other at family events. So from a practical perspective, it could go really badly and there have to be other people you can date instead. But hey, polyamory is all about breaking the rules/figuring out what works for you, and I’m sure that whoever is involved can figure out boundaries for themselves (omg I hope this is strictly hypothetical or for a story or something.))

(FWIW, I’m polyamorous and on the kink scene; the closest thing to this that I’ve ever encountered/heard about is family members who are both kinky coordinating with each other so they can make sure they don’t go to the same sexytimes parties. Abandoning the monogamy rule doesn’t generally come attached to abandoning “oh god no” reactions around incest once removed.)

(More generally: I do understand the appeal of pursuing love among people you already have a connection to, and the potential downsides of dating random strangers (and goodness knows some people have dating pools where not dating your ex’s ex is simply not a practical option); at the same time, romantic relationships are weird in that they tend to be kind of all or nothing in practice. And that doesn’t seem to just be a monogamous thing. Even when there isn’t jealousy from a current partner as a barrier to being friends with an ex, it’s really hard to be actual friends as opposed to just friendly, without slipping into acting like you’re back together. So…there’s a lot to be said for dating people who you can go back to being strangers with if things don’t work out.)
