something i really appreciate about prapai is that even at the start he never pulls the asshole rich guy move of trying to buy/impress sky by throwing money or expensive gifts at him/his problems.

when sky makes it clear he's not interested, prapai almost immediately bounces back and decides to 'try again'.

rather than getting angry, in an unexpectedly sweet move, mr playboy "i love my freedom" goes for actually getting to know sky.

i mean yes, he's absolutely still just trying to get into sky's pants at this point, but at the same time this isn't a move from the rich asshole playbook at all.

when prapai shows up at sky's dorm unannounced again, it's clear he doesn't really have a plan other than 'try to be sexy around sky' and he fails terribly at this because prapai is NOT as smooth as he thinks he is.

he's so, so bad at flirting, but...it absolutely works in prapai's favour because it disarms some of sky's defences. look at sky's expressions here:

it's hard to see in screenshots, but we hear that sky suppresses a small laugh, and towards the end he's very clearly fighting not to smile. prapai's not living up to sky's expectations of finding a suave playboy type. he's ridiculous and sky is very reluctantly charmed by it.

and when they have breakfast, prapai doesn't try to show off by bringing sky to a fancy restaurant or try to make a big deal about paying for sky's meal. even though he also likely overpays for his meal.

sky leaves what looks like two 100 bhat notes while prapai leaves a single 500 bhat note. (my experiences in places like this in Bangkok says that sky left a reasonable amount/slightly more than he needed to, while prapai probably left a tip that was bigger than the cost of his meal.)

so if he wanted to, prapai could've made a big deal about this but he doesn't. this isn't for show because sky never even sees the amount prapai puts down.

look at prapai's emphasis: he queued up for it since 5am. he didn't try to pay extra to jump to the head of the line or order it to be delivered to him or send someone else to buy it for him. this was prapai's time, effort, energy and he didn't use his money to take any short cuts.

purely speculative, but assuming sky is heading directly to classes, his dorm is located within walking distance of the university, and the first class is at 8am, it's possibly around 7:30am at the earliest. which still gives a conservative estimate of prapai having a whole 2.5 hour window of queuing for the food and bringing it to sky right before his international flight and a slew of business meetings.

for a man with money, with power, with influence, this is so, so much effort.

even before prapai ends up taking care of sky when he's sick, he's already shown how real his commitment is. this is intentional, focused, dedicated pursuit. of sky. not just a warm body for sex, but very specifically: sky. because prapai is not a man who has to work this hard just to get sex.

and then there's this moment:

i think this was the moment when prapai realises that his approach was working on sky. before this point, prapai's entire strategy is 'throw stuff at wall, see what sticks,' but here he realises: sky has been moved. first, by the reassurance that prapai wasn't looking for sex anymore (at least not just sex), and second by the attention and forethought inherent in making sure sky still had food ready for him after prapai left. this is the kind of care you show when you genuinely want the best for someone, not just to make a good impression or to elevate their opinion of you, and it's working.

it's super telling that after this point in the show, about 85% of prapai's wooing strategy becomes 'send sky food', whether in person or via delivery. he's paying attention and when something works he doubles down on it with zero hesitation. and everything he does give sky either meets a basic need (food, medication, a safe space to rest) or involves directly helping sky with something he finds challenging (helping him with his assignments). primarily, prapai's focus is about spending time with sky.

and none of this, none of this, was the approach you would expect from a rich fuckboy. and i really, really love prapai for that.

I have things to say about The Scene involving this notebook.

Important stuff.

Don't let me forget.

Since I always mute serenade / sing your feelings scenes because @absolutebl and @respectthepetty raised me right I could focus on Zo’s long ass legs lil journey to almost wrapping around Joke. This is the same man who sprinted away because Boo rubbed his pinky. Sir ? Put you glasses back on these contacts are making you unserious. (Also you liked these black baggy pants and Joke can tell so he is wearing them again)

In Fortpeat News: Their Next Project?

We have next to nothing to go on right now BUT it would seem like we will be hearing imminently about Fortpeat's next series.

(*CUE DELIRIOUS LEVELS OF UNHINGED EXCITEMENT*)

In a recent live Peat hinted that information on a new project would be coming soon. As of yesterday, MeMindY have also formally announced two new upcoming projects based on MAME's novels. Apparently there's been filming taking place by the sea. Something's a brewin' and it's hard not to indulge in my wildest delusions.

I've certainly been highly anticipating these two acting again. With the recent update, I'll be living constantly and perilously on edge until we get an official announcement to confirm this. Because how 'soon' is SOON exactly? News could drop at any goddamn moment.

Something about this also makes me ever so slightly sad too, because it means finally closing the chapter on these two as Sky and Prapai, and welcoming the start of a new era for them as two different characters.

So start making your wish lists dear friends. What are we hoping to see in this new series? All I desperately pray for is that this isn't a misdirect. PLEASE for the love of god, give us the goodies.

obviously i love olivia swann and her performance as astra logue really makes the character... however i still think abt how powerful astra would be if the version we got of her was not a power-hungry woman in her twenties and instead an unhinged teenage girl

For once, Sky gets to go through the BEST-case scenario for when you pass out in one place and wake up in your bedroom in different clothes on different sheets with a man standing there in YOUR clothes.
