barely getting my thoughts in order here, but boston was always going to end up alone. even before we see him in the show he was planning on leaving, so he stirred shit up and acted impulsively and without fearing the consequences because he was going to new york soon anyways and wouldnt have to deal with it. the tragedy for him is that when things started catching up to him, he learnt that he very much did care. he thought he could simply cut ties and leave and not feel anything, but having those ties cut for him shows him how wrong he was about that

#listen i Love boston!!#do i wish that his ending were different? yes.#but im not surprised #boston intended for himself to be alone from the beginning #it just ended up not being on his terms #i really didnt read this as the narrative punishing bostom for being promiscuous #but rather his impulsiveness and tendency to not think about others feelings before or after he acts until hes confronted #the other characters also did him dirty and were hypocrites about it #but honestly. that is how life and friend groups are #anyways. i didnt research or anything for this #i wrote it just cause i was thinking about Him #only friends #only friends the series

a taste

#only friends #only friends the series #ofts #mark pakin #papang phromphiriya #i am obsessed with how good papang is #trust me to read too much into it but to me he clearly has an idea who 30 sth year old Dan is #seemingly out of the dating scene since at least his graduation so doesn't know the current lingo #feeling a bit too old but also unsure how he likes being called old but hot #very charmed by this junior but not used anymore to getting butterflies in a club #lowkey knows that the boss thing might be a bit hmm...#(listen: i love that again the show doesn't give us a clear line of 'dan is a creep' because there is a lot of room for him to essentially #be a good option for nick as well as the possibility of accidentally acting unethical) especially within the community it is worth to #observe whether the power imbalance on its own speaks against the person #he's also a bit shy wondering whether this cute guy would actually be interested in him because he is sweet and obviously aquainted with #going to bars so surely he must have options #and mark is also so wonderful ;A; even before he spots boston you can see that there is still some heartbreak lingering #but also that he liked the kiss but it was a very different feel to boston #also: somehow papang in mlc and papang here kisses absolutely differently and it makes so much sense to me that he at this point in his #life would kiss like this?? idk how to explain it better #this show continues to bring out the best acting out of everyone #(to derail: maybe why i want the writing for top to be that he's still in the grey so badly because i think that is the kind of difficult #acting force is actually mastering in this series)

Disclaimer - I support all Mew Rights and Wrongs so please don't try to 'change my mind'. But hearing people call him shit that he simply isn't makes my eyes twitch in fury so here you go:

Judgy people calling Mew morally superior and judgemental for what? For wanting to get to know someone before sleeping with them and making that clear to the other party? For wanting his friends to find good partners? For being distant yet wanting the best for his suicidal friend who he saved (probably got traumatised too in the process) and who pushes his boundaries all the time? For being angry at a friend he trusted, who he asked for advice minutes before sleeping with someone for the first time.. only to find out that said friend has been manipulating shit behind his back? For being cheated on not once, but twice? The amount of victim blaming Mew receives from 'experts' makes me want to bang my head. There's only one judgy kettle here and it sure isn't my son Mew.

#listen people.. i love all the characters in this show #but the hate mew receives is so weird #and him and sand are my special boys plus i started mew's defence squad way back #only friends the series #mew only friends #boston only friends #top only friends #ray only friends #topmew #raymew #mewray #thai bl #thai drama #asianlgbtqdramas #ofts #only friends #character analysis #fandoms

They match. Their closing credit scenes match 😭

Does that mean they'll all match?

#only friends the series #ofts #the similar coloring #both of them driving to nowhere #lost in thought #if you haven't already guessed #i LOVE these ending sequences #literally a moving picture #i can't wait to see boston and top's #i feel like boston will be looking at a picture of some sort #since photography is his thing #and to juxtapose with nick listening to the recording #top...idk...#mew was looking at fish so maybe he'll be looking at an animal of some sort?#but definitely with the half light half dark lighting

You listened to Greater Boston, right? Is there a metaplot? Like, is it a conspiracy theory red string board podcast or a listen on long car trips looking out the window podcast?

I’m trying to listen to more things post w359 and heard Greater Boston was good, so… yeah

Hello Anon! Yes I do listen to (and love) Greater Boston! I'm going to try to to focus on the particular questions you asked here, but for more of general attempts to pitch the show, you can look at these posts of mine: Greater Boston description ask , Greater Boston pitch post. (These posts are from a while ago, so stuff has happened in the show since, but I still think they provide a decent introduction, to the extent that it is possible to sum up this show.)

Greater Boston very much has an ongoing plot, or rather a range of interweaving ongoing plot threads. I hesitate to call it a 'metaplot' because I almost think that implies an apparent anthology structure (like in The Amelia Project or The Magnus Archives, both of which I'd describe as anthology shows from which a metaplot emerges. Greater Boston isn't really that). The first couple of episodes might seem slightly like they are each a few somewhat self-contained stories, but that approach changes quickly. The show follows a wide range of characters and events, but I'd say that the connections, throughlines, and returns to key characters are frequent enough to create the sense that you are following one big story.

I'm not sure I completely understand what you mean by your dichotomy of red string vs long car ride podcasts. Greater Boston definitely lends itself to a fair amount of red string thinking, given that there's an extremely high number of characters who interconnect in a range of ways, and some really interesting stuff going on with the nature of the storytelling later on.

But, at least in my eyes, Greater Boston is not primarily focused on figuring out a mystery/conspiracy, or theorising about what will happen, in the way that the 'red string' approach might imply. There are some mysteries, but for all of the utterly wild stuff that happens in this show, what appeals to me the most about Greater Boston is the characters, and how the show forces you to engage with everyone from the main focus characters to the smallest minor character to the antagonists you thought they couldn't make you sympathise with. What ultimately keeps me thinking about this show is the emotional journeys of these characters, the ways they struggle and impact each other and relate to one another... (And to be honest, I don't really kid myself that I can actually predict where this show is going to take you next.)

Does Greater Boston fit the "listen on long car trips looking out the window" vibe? If the long car journey vibe means a show you can just let wash over you while you tune in and out of it, then probably not. But if you mean something that can hold your attention for a long period, with enough variation in tone and plot to keep you interested, then Greater Boston definitely slots into that category for me.

Obviously I'm going to say you should listen to it, because, well, you came to a fan of Greater Boston in order to ask about it, but I hope this response helped you figure out if it's the vibe you're looking for at the moment!

(From the past tense of 'listened' in your ask, I wonder if you might be under the impression that this podcast is fully released. So I just thought I'd mention that while the Season 4 finale had some sense of resolution, there is still a fifth and final season of the show planned!)

#Thanks for the ask anon!#I love being asked to talk about my favourite podcasts #Greater Boston #Greater Boston podcast #I'm putting this in the Greater Boston tag just so any other fans can share their thoughts for anon #I'm fascinated by this way of categorising audio dramas #Where do different shows fall on the red string to long car journey spectrum?#If I've misinterpreted what you meant anon #feel free to send another ask to help me understand #or just if you have more questions #Also if at any point you do listen to it #I'd love to hear what you think #the empty man posteth #the empty man answereth #Long post

so fun fact: montreal currently has the highest win percentage at 61.54% [24 points earned / 39 possible points]. however, if you look at total possible points through the end of the season [current points + games remaining x 3] Montreal is also tied at first [ w/minnesota] with 57.

#pwhl montreal #pwhl #the other possible points totals as of 2/24 5:23 p eastern #Toronto 55 #Boston 54 #New York 52 #Ottawa 49 #listen i love sports statistics #and the pwhl website makes them so accessible #unfortunately while the pwhl website updates goals as they are scored #other statistics are only updated after the game #which creates quite a mismatch but i am aware of the problem and actively counteracting it #:)#i would have an excel but i am moving away from screens #so i have paper tables set up or in progress for all the sports im following #really it's so that i don't have to constantly check my phone to know the numbers
