PSA - Fandom, if you haven’t heard, Cooking Crush has F.I.N.A.L.L.Y officially broken the Ep11 curse.
(not the episode gif (Ep10), this is the feeling though)
Long may the power of OffGun rule at GMMTV continue. Absolutely adore them together in the masterpiece that is Not Me. These lads have range!
If you aren’t watching this sweet little nugget, please give it a try. It’s just cathartic, it has EQ (👏🏿👏🏿), there are bumps and adulting needed but it’s warm vs all the angst fans in all the fandoms have recently experienced. I know, we love it but sometimes it’s just too much. 🤎🩷🩵🧡💚💜💛💙🖤🩶🤍❤️
Who needs the Super Bowl when you have BL drama✌🏿

Finding Equal Footing.
Episode 8 babyyyyy here we go!
I love everything about this opening scene, and just now rewatching it it finally clicked as to why. White and Sean start off on different levels and end the scene on unequal footing.
This entire time, White and Sean have been going back and forth with each other, often misunderstanding what each other has to say. They had their biggest problem during their last mission, with White not understanding Sean’s anger and Sean incapable of understanding White’s compassion and consideration. It was only later, at the protests, and under the pride flag, that they both understood what they could actually achieve.
Of course, Sean had a couple kicks to the head on the way (thanks to Yok and his mom, mainly) but once he sees what White’s actions have led to he understands his anger and vengeance will just hurt people, and won’t actually bring about the change in society he says he wants. So he decides to apologize to White.
Sean starts by barging his way into the room. White is understandably unwilling to let him into his space, but Sean will not be denied. He overpowers white, with both his height and his strength.
Once he’s in, he goes to sit on the bed. White, upset, says, “don’t sit on the bed, sit on the floor.” Sean immediately gets up and sits on the floor with no comment and only mild reluctance. The Sean of two episodes ago would have made more of an argument. Even with the excuse White gives, “your pants are dirty,” Sean only asks if he should take his pants off. No dirty pants, problem solved.
White still refuses, and tells him to sit on the floor again. And he does. He makes the crack about White sitting in the bed, but White responds “well it’s my room,” and Sean doesn’t say anything. I think it’s a quiet acknowledgment of their fight earlier in Sean’s room about White’s space there.
Notice White sits straight, above Sean, now dominant, with the higher ground. It isn’t until Sean offers him the drink does he lean in.
White asks if Sean is there to apologize.
Sean is, but he still has his pride, so he won’t admit White’s right. White still has a feeling, though. He lays down on the bed, bringing himself closer to Sean’s level, but still looking down on him. White is a petty bitch, so he steals the alcohol from him mod-swig.
(Also notice how White grimaces when drinking alcohol except when drinking Vodka with Eugene. He made this same face when Todd gave him a drink too. HC white is a vodka only man.)
White accepts the olive branch of alcohol, and asks Sean what he’s there to talk about.
Sean apologizes, and White calls him on it.
Sean acknowledges White’s success, and how they’ve never had this much public support of their actions before. White, smiling, Sean’s facing him and leaning in. They’re getting closer to understanding each other, but they’re not on the same level yet.
White makes the first move.
He gets off the bed. He sits on the floor, across from Sean, looking directly into his eyes. He knows what he’s asking. Why do you hate him so much? What did he do that would make you attack innocent parties? Why would you throw yourself on the pyre for the hope that he would burn?
Tell me, White says. Trust me.
White sits there, reaching out, meeting Sean where he is, refusing to to let him be alone. He ducks his head down, and White follows him, refusing to look away.
Sean spills his soul, telling White everything about how dark his life got. White brings him back by touching his face.
“You’re still here. Thank you for telling me,” White says. He knows how important this is to Sean, knows that it wasn’t easy for Sean to tell him. “Now I understand you better. I want you to trust me like I trust you.”
Even with how Black has changed, Sean can’t imagine he would event want to actually understand him. To him Black couldn’t care that much. And trusting him, when Black would question everything he does?
White proves it.
(Side note: this isn’t just White, this is Gun. He’s just Like That. He will trust fall with zero prompting. Look it up on YouTube, there’s a compilation. It’s hilarious.)
Anyway. White returns Sean’s trust with a show of his own. Sean doesn’t fail. They’re here, together, on (almost) equal footing now.
Sean offers white a chance to punch him to make it even. White bonks him in the head instead, and Sean calls it even. And there, laughing, having cleared the air between them, having offered real evidence of trust between them, White and Sean are finally on the same page and can move forward together.
