#the eclipse ayan

[spokenfromtheheartandsoul]

Aye: [has probably been distracted and busy for like. 2 weeks max trying to secretly put together something for Akk’s birthday without him finding out]

Akk:

it’s been 2 weeks and akk’s bf has spent 5% less time on him than usual and akk is FALLING APART

[saladbroth]

god it's just. the way they're both trying so hard to be there for each other, to be strong for each other

akk is at his breaking point already during class with teacher waree and goes hurtling past it with that fucker chadok yelling at him and yet he tries to smile for aye and tries to tell him he's okay. that he doesn't need to worry. and he pulls himself back together over and over again, lets himself cry for only a moment before trying to be strong because he can see that aye is barely holding on either. it's worrying how good he is at stopping himself while sobbing and pulling back his shoulders and trying to sound steady

and aye. god. aye is furious and trying so hard to get chadok away from akk and he's terrified because he understands how his uncle was driven to his demise, and i think he really, fully understands what his mother felt like now as well, when she asked him if he was leaving her too. it's the devastation on his face when he looks at akk, who only days ago was smiling and teasing him, kissing his cheek and flirting and being happy, that really just brings this point home. he's trying so hard not to let his grief and his fear and his anger get the best of him because he knows akk needs him, knows that he can't ever forgive himself if he doesn't give akk his all now, if something were to happen to him

it's just. i think they're both trying their best to hold themselves together because they haven't yet learned that they can be weak together, too. "you're allowed to be weak, at least with me" applies to them both at the same time, but it seems like aye and akk think they need to cling to cliff with one hand and each other with the other hand, instead of falling together holding each other

Did I know The Eclipse would take all my heart with their characters? No. Do I regret? Also no.

It's time to add Ayan to my 2022 collection of sad fanarts *д*

[ravenpureforever]

Akk: I am responsible for the curse!

Ayan: I am Teacher Dika’s nephew and you drove him to suicide!

Teacher Chadok: I was in love with your uncle and we were engaged and I watched him commit suicide in front of me!

Thua: I have been manipulating everything from behind the scenes in a desperate bid to expose the truth so all this can finally end!

Kan and Wat:

[suniteh]

THE ECLIPSE: boyfriends.

[pigeonriot]

Friendship + Akk's room across the episodes

[heyhua]

oh these waist tattoos >>>

[spokenfromtheheartandsoul]

thoroughly enjoying that all of kan and aye’s relationship counselling sessions can be pretty much summed up by:

kan: i think i have feelings for thua. aye, what does that mean? aye: well...i think you might have feelings for thua kan: 

[saladbroth]

love the eclipse for having incredibly sweet happy moments of becoming boyfriends TWICE and then just fucking roundhouse kicking me into whiplash by making akk have a full on breakdown and aye trying to confront chadok and them holding onto each other for the tiniest bit of comfort. What the fuck

[iamdarthbader]

I’d like to thank Not Me and The Eclipse for their accurate depiction of the unbridled rage that exists within every short person

[ravenpureforever]

Absolutely losing my mind over the fact Teacher Sani went “why don’t we give the boys a short suspension and give them time to reflect.” And Akk proceeded to go home to his parents with his boyfriend, come out to his parents and then lose his virginity and have an idyllic romantic getaway with his besties and parents.

“Reflection” He’s getting laid with his future husband who’s probably ditching school to be here!

“Improve their behavior” He’s have a beach celebration with his friends watching the BL movie he starred in and cuddling with his boyfriend

Teacher Sani was the real ally all along, huh?

[inamatchamood]

I haven’t seen anyone talk about it but one thing I appreciated about the finale is their reference to Mes, Akk’s hero and telling us he had to take a year off for his depression. I appreciated this for so many reasons:

1. It verbalised that the trauma these boys underwent for generations and toll on their mental health and that it doesn’t go away even after leaving the school - the things we do and say have a rippling effect

2. It showed Akk, he wasn’t weak or alone. Even the person he looked up to suffered at the hands of the system. He was never the “issue”, he was a victim to an appalling system and coming out of that as strong as he did proves the opposite of what he used to believe - he’s an incredibly strong person

akk: I'm not gay, I have no feelings whatsoever

ayan doing the bare minimum.

akk: I am gay and I do have a lot of feelings
