This started out as a collection of my comments on YouTube analyzing the Thai BL "Bad Buddy Series", but has since grown to include write-ups and reblogs that aren't on YouTube. I started this Tumblr upon the advice of a couple of other commenters, who suggested my YT posts be put all in one place. The episode instalments and timestamps are with reference to the official YouTube GMMTV episodes. Apologies if the verbal vommery gets a bit much, but this is one series that can actually stand up to scrutiny, and inspired me to lay down (a lot of) my thoughts in readable format. Hope you enjoy reading all the stuff I've posted! 💖💖💖

Oh easy answer.
Bad Buddy – it would've made growing up in my teen years, growing into my own identity and the process of self-discovery and self-acceptance so much easier.
I hope young 'uns in high school (and young 'uns later in life too) will get to experience it too– 💖

Reblog this and tag it with a piece of media that you discovered as an young adult/adult that would've completely rewired your neurons had you discovered it in middle school

The first time I watched Bad Buddy was like 2 years after it came out. Why? Because the title sounded weird and I was like it can’t be that good it came out such a long time ago and I think I just started watching 2gether which had such a big hype and it was such a disappointment. But after a long time of convincing myself, I gave it a chance and my god, was I hooked. It was funny,heartbreaking and so perfect. Now, after some time passed, I’m watching it again and my god, the feels are right there where I left them. With Pran and Pat. With Ohm and Nanon. It’s honestly rare that when I rewatch a show it hits just the same like the first time I saw it. Hell,it hits even more. It is still so funny and entertaining, my heart still skips a beat or beats faster when there’s a sweet scene. My heart still breaks into a million pieces when there’s a sad scene. These two boys can act so well, they are so natural with each other, their faces and whole body is so expressive it’s a joy to watch such talented young actors portray the feelings so perfectly. Also, the chemistry is insane. I am drowning in feels right now and I’m just glad I get to experience it again and I am glad that it’s a show that I can rewatch from time to time. And I love the fact that when I rewatch it, I get to enjoy it even more than the first time. Which is rare. Very rare. It’s so special. When I rewatch a show it’s usually just nostalgia that I feel. But with this one I feel everything and even more than the first time.
#bad buddy#all of us bad buddy fans know just what crazyhappygirl is going thru#it's been years but we all feel the same#and even though you're not new to the fandom‚ welcome nonetheless#any fan of bad buddy is already a friend 🥰#💖

Oh wow. The stars aligned. I've long had it in my head that all the rugby in Bad Buddy really IS standing in for American football:
He kissed me, and grabbed my hair in a way that made me understand the difference between rugby and football. - Alex Claremont-Diaz (Red White & Royal Blue)
PatPran did it first.

Just finished watching ‘Bad Buddy’ EP 1 for the first time… I regret not watching it sooner… Loved every second of this <3
I think you guys would probably be jealous of me for getting to experience this series for the first that too in 2025 but I’m gonna be one of you after 11 more episodes.
Ps- if you wanna let me know anything about the show/ warnings pls comment without giving away any spoilers.
#welcome to the fandom!#bad buddy#bad buddy fandom#there are so many layers to bbs#you can enjoy it as a light romcom#or you can revel in its metaphors and allegories#or both#i love this show and it's so heartwarming to hear that it's worked its magic on someone new#💖

We cordially invite you to Pat's Birthday Bash!
Okay super sleuths, you got me! I have been planning something: A BIG BIRTHDAY BASH!
As you all know, Pat's birthday is in just one month's time and I want to invite you all to celebrate!
On 23rd April, let's flood the dash!
We're calling on all Pat enthusiasts to add a little homage to the dash this 23rd April.
We're looking for any and all fandom creation:
metaposts
fanedits
fanart
gif sets
fanfic
collages
etc.!
Basically, anything that's focused on our number one green flag!
And of course we're not missing out Pran!
Now, we were never given any exact dates on the Pran's birthday but we know it must have been close so we're planning his celebration for 23rd May!
If you want to jump on in and join us for one or both, just sign up with the form to let us know you're interested!
We'll be using the form to track who might be interested in the event but also send out email encouragement and reminders to those who want to be involved!
You don't have to sign up if you still want to me involved but if you'd like the encouragement then please do! We'll have the form open until the 16th April :)
We'll be posting more info about the event as the next days go as well, so if you're interested, follow and keep an eye out for up dates!

my own personal contender for this is:
#OH MY GOD#bad buddy#the most triggering of words for the bbs fandom#is just a simple little 'no' half-whispered by a determined‚ focused young man#to the love of his life on a cold and windswept rooftop in bangkok#i gasped SO LOUD when the gif finally loaded#that little word encapsulates all that is so beautiful‚ so despairing‚ so urgent and (in what is to come after) so desolate#airenyah‚ what violence have you wrought on the fandom with this post? 🤣#'no'#the most triggering word for the bbs fandom#💖😭

a little Nong Nao example postcard for the @mailed-it exchange :D
I was entertaining myself the other week thinking about all the things Nong Nao's been subjected to, and then came up with this little collage idea. going thru the show and collecting some of my favorite (and most memorable!) PatPran ridiculousness for the screencaps in here was v fun hehe.
Just as a reminder, fandom nominations for the exchange are still open through Thursday! If you're interested, you can fill out the nominations form here (and see the current nominations here) :D

👀 OMG. 😍 It's The Guitar from Bad Buddy. That Pran left behind, and Pat saved and that they wrote Just Friend? on and that Pran wrote Our Song with...
Well spotted @airenyah! THIS is how you know a dyed-in-the-wool Bad Buddy fan. 😂
We see Pran's PP logo on the headstock and all the emotions come whooshing back, like we never left – the beach, Uncle Tong's house, Uncle Yod's bar, Pran's bedroom across the balconies, their student apartment corridor, the music room at Prasertsilpwittaya School...
The Bad Buddy Guitar lives on! 💖
hnggggggggggggggggg it's the patpran guitar 😭😭😭😭😭

I think the softest lesson Bad Buddy taught me was that love does not have to feel like a revolution. I don't need to scream my love on the rooftops or wave it in front of anybody's face. I can love sitting on my balcony, surrounded by candles, wearing my softest shirt and making eyes at the love of my life. My love does not have to be loud for it to be real.
