@pscentral event 15: favourite relationships
↳ ANNE BOONCHUY, SASHA WAYBRIGHT, & MARCY WU
Change can be difficult, but it's how we grow. It can be the hardest thing to realise you can't hold on to something forever. Sometimes... you have to let it go. But of the things you let go... you'd be surprised... what makes its way back to you.

I enjoy shipping, but I cannot see the appeal in watching shows only for the purpose of shipping; I think it closes you off to so much. I think coming into a work with the expectation that it will only succeed if a particular configuration of people end up happily in a relationship with each other when the curtain closes means you will reject so many unexpected choices altogether. It destroys your ability to appreciate the entire concept of tragedy. Just, imagine refusing to let yourself enjoy "I'm not a gardener" because you are too furious that a different kiss than the one you wanted happened to feel other emotions.

"I've been afraid of the water since then. So, I tried to stay close to it--to get used to it."
"I'm trying too."
Here was a tiny prelude to Tharn's confession. Phaya might not quite grasp the meaning, but Tharn can almost be heard saying, "I've been afraid of loving since then. So, I've tried to stay close to you, to get used to it."
That admission of Phaya's was yet another chip in Tharn's defenses.
And when, by the poolside, Phaya says again that he couldn't stand to lose Tharn, Tharn also felt compelled to finally share his fear--that everyone he loves will die and that he's so dangerously close to loving Phaya that he's already afraid of the loss as well.
And they're sat before the water that Phaya fears and Tharn is sat beside the love he fears. And they're dipping their toes into water and into love. And maybe they're facing fears together.
Which is why, when Tharn practically pleads, "Please don't force it," Phaya can't help but take his hand and instill within him a little more courage.
Before either of them know it, they're slipping in. Deeper. Deeper. To depths unknown.
