ipytm rants and one praise

Haha anyways I need to let some thoughts out about ipytm and twitter has a stupid words restriction so here I am

I don’t even know where to begin because I can’t form coherent thoughts and I’m also not good with words or whatever so I’m gonna make completely random points about episode 1 and 2 that kind of bothered me a little because I KNOW I know I was relying way too much on my expectations for part 2 when deep inside I knew it could never come close to itsay but here we go

About Ep 1: The first thing that bothered me about this ep really was the score in some scenes? Which isn’t a big deal since the atmosphere is different and we just have to adapt to it, which on a second watch it sounded genius because it really puts us on the main character’s shoes, specially since they left itsay scores on the first half of the episode and then slowly transitioned to the new ones, which captured the feeling of leaving your hometown and getting into unknown waters sosososo well. But then, some other choices left me a little bit meh, like some editing in some scenes (that persisted on ep2), like when a character is thinking about something and instead of letting us guess and connect the dots they just edit their thoughts on screen making the whole thing really more boring than it needed to be. I like being challenged when it comes to media and having my own thoughts about what that scene is trying to convey because what they’re showing me isn’t exactly obvious? But that editing sort of takes all of that fun of ‘interpreting art your own way’ away from me. I’m glad they left the little details that meant so much to me in itsay and made it so rewatchable, like the closing your eyes to adjust to the darkness, it was insanely well done. And also the cinematography that wouldn’t dare ever disappoint me. Last complaint about this one was how in the teather scene we could hear jai’s thoughts, that was a bit.... weird. It’s similar to the latter complaint but in itsay we relied so much on what the character was showing through actions when words weren’t enough and now we just... don’t have that?? I don’t know it was really out of sync for me but moving on.

About Ep 2: Oh boy. Oh boy. Like I literally just finished ep 2 but the fact I rewatched ep 1 around 4 times in the same week and yet feel absolutely NO wish to watch ep 2 ever again does tell you something about it. It starts really ok, it’s cute in spite of its angsty moments and we can totally see Teh doesn’t really go along with Ohaew’s friends and I feel like it’s mutual, which is something i hope they can fix on the next episodes?? Like damn having a long term relationship with someone and hate the people they care about is not really the way to go. And I could totally understand if their friends were a bad influence on them because that can happen and it’s valid but IT WASN’T THE CASE, and that fucked things up way more. I was hoping Teh could have a reason to the fucking tantrum he threw in the middle of the street in the preview because you know, as a fellow Teh Apologist that was all I could ask for, and yet I was given a whole context behind that which made the entire scene worse. The way Teh couldn’t stop himself from shaming Ohaew in front of his fucking friends. In public. Like, that shit was a damn trigger for me, because I was once in Ohaew’s shoes, and yes I know my relationship was a toxic one and that makes me so scared their relationship will follow this exact path. I know he recognized he was being a dick and apologized in the end but I’m scared he’ll keep fucking up and thinking his sincere apologies will make everything fine again when that’s just toxic as fuck, and I really don’t want the show that comforted me through so many months to be a damn trigger to me. Also why was he mad about a damn tattoo??? It’s so small you’ll stop noticing it in 2 weeks. ALSO KHIM BABY I’M SO SORRY THAT MF TEH WOULD EVEN TREAT YOU LIKE THAT. Like I know Teh is scared in the end he’ll be left alone to pursue his dreams but damn everyone has a different reality and he has to grow up and understand that. I also wanna talk about how I was so scared the time jumps they were planning to do throughout this season weren’t going to work for me and Ep 1 was fine even but Ep2... kind of fucked it up. 8 months is one hell of a time jump and so much got lost in it I don’t know how to react. LAST BUT NOT LEAST. I got really really emotional over Ohaew not getting the roles he wanted because of his feminine traits because i kept thinking about PP and i love him sosososo much i would crush any mf who even dared treat him like that and make him feel like he’s less than his full potential. I didn’t cry about anything else but this, it hit me like a damn truck, and I really think this subject isn’t being thrown out of nowhere and it will mean something later on.

Alright I think this is it if i need to rant more I’ll definitelly be coming back here
