#lies in how pran's made that decision already

[transpat]

the rooftop parallels absolutely crushed me like both eps were about discovery, one of pat's feelings and the other of their family history. both eps acted as a major shift in the narrative and both rooftop scenes were preceded by major fights. both times pat fumbles with guilt even when it isn't his fault. both times pran takes to the roof when his anger and pain get too large to contain. both times they reached out to the other but the first time pran let his fear overtake and left pat but this time he was the one who called him, he was the one who fell into pat, clung onto him. this time too, pran's instinct is to run away, what he needs is space and time, but this time he waits for pat, pat who understands this w/o him having to voice it, pat who carries his weight when his legs can't lift him up anymore. running away isn't pat's thing to do, but pran tells him he can't take it anymore and pat understands and complies and whisks him away.

#yk pran's face when he settles on this decision when he knows he needs to get away from his parents #and he immediately pulls out his phone to call pat #bc where he's always isolated himself when he's been hurting too much #he knows now that he doesnt have to do that #he doesnt have to carry so much pain alone #that there's someone who's always been in the same situation as him #who knows him better than anyone else #who's half of his heart and soul #and now when pran needs to run he won't go anywhere w/o him #the real beauty of it #lies in how pran's made that decision already #hes going to say it hes going to ask pat #but when he sees him he just crumbles and needs pat against him for a moment #when he talks it isnt the question on his mind he states but instead vocalizes his pain #and pat hears everything else every single one of his thoughts #and the question pran's about to ask him pat voices it instead #they both know its an answer not a question #so pran just sags into him again #this is what it means when u call someone ur space safe ur home #im sorry this is an incoherent ramble #thoughts.txt #bad buddy #pranpat #patpran #bad buddy series

Knowing that Wai made the decision to reveal Pat and Pran in the moment somehow sits even worse.

He had evidence of something going on which is likely why he walked into the sound booth anyway but the fact that it was not a plan but a spur of the moment choice to hurt Pran put Wai even more in my bad books.

In theory, this could be deemed a “crime of passion” as Wai reacted in the moment instead of anticipating how he was going to hurt Pran. His blood was likely boiling so high already that he could likely only see red and was seeking vengeance for being lied to by someone he deemed to be his best friend.

At the end of the day, what Wai did was wrong. He took away Pat and Pran’s choice of how and when they were going to share their relationship and sexuality publicly, if they ever even wanted to. Although his actions were driven by hurt and betrayal, it is going to take a lot for Pran and Wai to repair their relationship.

This episode of Bad Buddy was the first that I was *truly, truly* disappointed with the show. It felt so cheap in so many ways and there were so many unnecessary moments. Idk. I felt like they just wasted a whole episode. After Wai outed Pran and he was upset etc. there could have been something that caused the two to talk (really talk) and Pran could have explained himself (though he really already did BEFORE the outing) and Wai could have come to the conclusion that what he did was wrong and sincerely apologized because OUTING SOMEONE IS NEVER OKAY. But instead we got some random gunshot/arrest plot (which, by the way, why didn’t Wai tell Pat that, that guy had a gun after Pat went to his table to confront him so he knew to avoid him going forward or why didn’t Wai tell his manager or *someone* - like….he just kept it to himself but whatever), but instead it ends with Wai sending a video to show it wasn’t Pat’s gun and now they’re all besties and Wai never even apologized, so like….no big deal I guess.

I don’t know. For a show that’s trying to be progressive by getting rid of or acknowledging how dumb some common BL tropes are (the husband/wife, the only gay for you etc. stuff), the fact that instead of taking the opportunity to have a character reflect and see it’s wrong to out someone (since they had him do it in the first place) and instead made him the unapologetic victim is just….all sorts of 🥴. Even if the conflict was about the lies/rivalry and not the outing between the three of them, they still had him out two people and then acted (so basically condoned his behavior) like it was nothing and that’s not something I really understand given all the other decisions the show has been making. It feels like a giant outlier to how they’ve handled everything else.

L M A O mora that teaser really was a trap💀 no but really i don’t even know where to begin? this show has been such a breath of fresh air from beginning to end and that just warms me to my core. and it’s like, if we got angst or an actual breakup this ep i still would’ve ate it up cuz it’s p’aof and i doubt he’d let us down w his storytelling, but we got happiness instead! we got to see that they spent those 4 years still very much together and very much in love and i just!! to know that pran & pat faced their problems together, to know that after getting together they stayed a healthy couple, even through the tough times? i’m soaring rn i swear. and i love me my angsty dramas (especially when they’re done well) but we need more of these feel good shows too!! shows where the couple is happy and don’t have to lose more time/years to misfortune or hurt or whatever! ahhhh😭

and inkpa! ink’s basically a part of their family at this point like seeing how comfortable she looked in their home?? my heart! also side note but pran looks so good!! i mean he always does but this hairstyle on him! cuz when they were in the bar? idk what they were feeding him but he looked Good As Hell i’m losing my minddd.

and???? that scene in [4/4] when pran’s playing guitar for pat had me ready to collapse like they’re so in love i can’t do this! there’s literally only so much i can take! i’m also glad we got to see one last episode of Pat Wants to Sleep Over cuz the work he puts in whenever he’s being kicked out of pran’s room lmaooo and that chaotic ending is so Them like truly an a1 way to end the series alskdjlsk

p’aof really delivered w this show because the bar he set is high! if it wasn’t late already i would’ve had my own little rewatch party cuz my heart needs it lmao. and i’m gonna miss reading your responses😭 i loved reading them so much and getting to understand your take on each episode, literally so comforting (esp your rants!!) thanks for indulging my ramblings and for keeping me company these past weeks🥺 i’m sure i’ll come screaming back to you eventually~~~ hope you enjoyed the episode and you’re have an amazing day/night~~ <33 -🥞

Pancake!!! Aahhhhhhh! I feel you so much and my brain can only keysmash and be happy and giddy and so overwhelmed!

They really gave us this trailer and it shouldn't have surprised anyone that it was a trap all along lmao I do hope P'Aof had some fun time reading some freak outs XD But yeah, even if they'd been apart for 4 years, I would have taken it, bc as you said, I trust P'Aof and it would have made sense as a decision. But to know that they decided to MAKE the world accept that they're in love? That they'd stay together no matter what? The way they spent all their important moments with each other? Aaaaaaaah, this is making me so happy!

P'Aof truly delivered and set a new standard. Tbh even if the last episode hadn't been so beautiful, I would have still loved the show because of all those moments they gave us. And they still topped that!

I do love my messy gay cockroaches and if a couple has a hard time finding to each other but you're right. Pat and Pran showed how it's done. How you can stay true to yourself and stay together and not break with everyone else. Their parents lied to them their whole lives and have left any right to be told the truth. Gosh, their faces when they lied so expertedly XD also, this makes their goodbye right before they fake broke up, so damn dramatic! Ohm shed his fucking TEARS for that! Q.Q

InkPha still going strong was so beautiful to watch and I loved how good it was, how Ink was a part of the family, as you said it. And she's now also a force against the dad. Like, he has everyone on Pat's side and they all have fun together while he tries to stay grumpy. I also think that once their parents realised there was still more going on, over the years, they also realised that if they made a big deal out of it again, they'd lose their kids. And this time for real.

The ending was truly deserving of them and their horny but chaotic love story, omg. Loved it. What a great way to go XD

You're making me emotional, ah! I love seeing them be happy, but I'm sad that it was the finale now. Maybe the rewatch can start next fri-gay and it will never stop? I'm also going to miss your asks and rants and I'm so thankful you honored me with those and enjoyed my rants. Thank you so so so so much! <3333

I wish you a wonderful day/night and hope the finale happiness will stay some more with you =^^= take care and feel free to come by to rant about whatever show you want to <3
