Forever loving that Gun and Tinn take turns being super flirty and super shy. I feel like neither can handle being hit on, and yet they both love to initiate the sneaky kisses or the corny pick-up lines. They can both dish it but neither of them can take it and I love that for them, excellent dynamic, absolutely no notes!

wai as a faen fatale: a defense

thank you, as always, to @absolutebl for inventing the term

A faen fatale is a character whose purpose is to drive a wedge between the main pair by pursuing on of the main pair. They generally do not receive much character development themselves. Faen fatales can be of any gender, though typically the seme is pursued by a woman and the uke is pursued by a man.

Bad Buddy is not a show with typical faen fatales - I’ve already spoken at length here about how Ink subverts the idea of a faen fatale by not being interested in either lead and by receiving lots of character development of her own (including her own romantic arc), but I would like to throw my hat in the ring for Wai as a faen fatale.

To start, let’s look at the role of a faen fatale in a BL show. They will:

be romantically interested in one of the leads and pursue them

induce feelings of jealousy and other negative emotions in the other lead

become a barrier to the leads’ relationship (e.g., one doesn’t trust the other there are no actual feelings/a relationship between them, the jealousy gets out of hand, etc.)

become a catalyst for the leads’ relationships (e.g., the feelings of jealousy make a lead realize his feelings/act on his feelings, combating the faen fatale brings the couple together, etc.)

Let’s assess Ink with this list:

1. no, she isn’t romantically interested in either Pat or Pran (or guys at all for that matter)

2. yes, Pran does feel jealous and sad because he assumes Ink and Pat are together/will be together, and because Pat told him he has a crush on Ink; Pat intentionally uses Ink to make Pran jealous during the ep.7 Flirt-Off bet while they eat at the noodle shop (he opens the water for her, he tries to feed her, he take a picture with her, etc.)

3. yes, as part of Pran’s initial hesitation to start a relationship with Pat/go beyond the rooftop kiss is his understanding that Pat has feelings for Ink and that they are well on their way to being together

4. yes, in some ways, as Pat uses Pa’s patented “Four Ways to Tell is Someone is Into You” she taught him to asses Ink to realize his own feelings for Pran, and Ink is generally supportive of Pat and Pran’s relationship (both before they were romantically involved and after)

Bonus: Ink is the faen fatale for Pat, who is the more traditionally seme coded character, and semes typically have female faen fatales

Despite this, Ink doesn’t fit the model of a faen fatale because, well, she doesn’t actually pursue either lead, and because she gets much more character development (including her own completely separate romantic arc) compared to other faen fatales.

Ok, now let’s asses Wai with this list.

1. no, he isn’t romantically interested in either Pran or Pat

2. yes, Pat does feel jealous and sad at Wai and Pran’s closeness, and how Wai is able to openly be friends with Pran (even visiting his house) in all the ways Pat can’t; Pran intentionally uses Wai to make Pat jealous during the ep.7 Flirt-Off bet, e.g., when they eat at the noodle shop (he orders Wai’s favourite dish without even having to ask, he feeds him, he wipes his face, he feigns helplessness to get Wai to help him with his water bottle, etc.)

Pat being jealous of Wai, a moodboard:

Pat being jealous of Wai (and Pran knowing and milking it), a moodboard:

3. yes, Wai (along with the rest of the architecture and engineer friend groups) is one of the main barriers to Pat and Pran’s relationship. He is against them interacting as friends and certainly against them being together romantically, even outing them to their friends and classmates. Pran and Wai’s friendship suffers after Pran and Pat’s relationship is revealed, which causes Pran pain to the point that Pat offers to (pretend) break up with him in order to repair their friendship.

4. yes, as Pat’s jealousy towards Wai is one of the reasons he realizes he likes Pran as more than a friend, and because Pran and Pat come together in the face of Wai (and their other friends)’s disapproval (e.g., Pat offering to be the heartbroken one and pretend Pran broke up with him to repair Wai and Pran’s friendship, a moment where Pran realizes the extent to which Pat will go for him)

Bonus: Wai is the faen fatale for Pran, who is the more traditionally uke coded character, and ukes typically have male faen fatales

Ergo, if we say Ink could be a faen fatale, clearly Wai could be too.

In fact... if I dare say... there’s more of a case for Wai to be a faen fatale than Ink? No... I shan’t say...

Second argument: it’s hilarious.

Wai, the faen fatale who doesn’t realize he’s the faen fatale. Look at his reaction when Pran uses him to make Pat jealous at the noodle stand:

He’s baffled but sure he’ll let his friend wipe his face and take care of him. He doesn't even know he's in a BL at this point (to him, Bad Buddy is an action series about Architects vs. Engineers).

My case rests.

Bad Buddy is an incredible show, especially in its subversions of BL tropes. This extends to their "faen fatales: Ink, who isn’t really a faen fatale because she has her own complex interests, and Wai, who isn’t really a faen fatale and has no idea what is going on.

On Repeat tag

Tagged by @airenyah, thank youuu ✨

The game: Put your Spotify On Repeat playlist on shuffle and post the first 10 songs!

Here's me struggling with tumblr's inability to display the compact format for spotify embeds 🥴 tumblr (said like Timmy's dad would say Dinkleberg)

#1 ใครเพื่อนแก - bamm

#2 อีกนิด (Come Closer) - Ford Arun

#3 ฟังดีดี (Your World, My World) - Khaotung Thanawat, First Kanaphan

Oh. This certainly explains why this song has been shuffling to so often lmao

#4 Booty Bomb - 4EVE

This song is super fun! But I'm very much partial to วัดปะหล่ะ? (TEST ME) which- I'm aware is their most streamed song oKAY but it's just That. Good.

#5 ไม่ต้องมา - Only Monday

#6 Sweet but Naughty - Fluke Gawin

I love him, this song, and The Warp Effect - but this is สิ่งเดียวที่ไม่ยอม (Unable) erasure!! It's my 3rd most played song On Repeat aka the three songs I can and routinely do sing along to (1st is เพื่อนเล่น ไม่เล่นเพื่อน (Just Being Friendly) by Tilly Birds, 2nd is How You Feel by NuNew).

#7 Dum Dum - Jeff Satur

#8 อยู่เฉย ๆ ก็น่ารัก (Please Be Mine) - Fourth Nattawat

#9 เริ่มใหม่ - Win Metawin

I'm pretty sure I only found this song because someone performed it during LOL Fan Fest or it played during the wait time before the stream started maybe??

#10 สองมาตรฐาน - Only Monday

Very happy that Only Monday made it here twice 😌👏

No clue if/who has done this already but gonna tag @pharawee @cangse-sanren @twig-tea @thegalwhorants @ginnymoonbeam @rocketturtle4, no pressure of course 🙏
