Had plans for what I was going to do tonight and then Fugue was on ITV3… oh my god, I love that episode. The acting is sublime and there’s so many amazing lines and interactions between the cast. The final scene with Thursday and Morse is heartbreaking and Shaun’s tearful face at the end overlooking the skyline of Oxford says so much…

Prapai’ character and the oversight
After EP9, we got to see more about Pai’ character and also more about Sky's past. The acting was phenomenal, from both Peat and Fort. Especially the little eye contact and the touches between them. It felt really well delivered. But, what caught my attention the most was how different Prapai approached Sky in the EP8 and how he does it now. 
In EP8, Prai put his arm around Sky when he first saw him. He covered him up and was directing him into the place where Pai wanted to talk with Sky. He was in control of the entire situation: mentally, physical and also powerful. He was allowed there, while Sky was an intruder. The whole punching the wall besides Sky felt more weird than expected because It wasn’t really necessary considering the body language of Sky: Pai didn’t need to show strength physically to intimidate him, so I want to believe this was super random. Also because Sky already gave him the “take what you want”, so he was already willingly and inferior to him. 
The sex scene in EP8 shows something to. When Sky is laying down, Pai goes and says something along the lines of “the night just begun” or something, and Sky looks at him sad. I don’t know how Fort can switch so quickly. He looks super confident in one moment and sassy and then looks completely surprised by the actions of Sky. Even in the dark we can see Sky’s actions surprised Pai: he wasn’t expecting that look. 
After this night, Pai develops some kind of attraction to Sky that goes beyond physical. And this is something I want to talk about. In EP9, Pai also says to Sky that he likes him even in normal clothes with puffy eyes and messy hair. And while I think the outfit Sky wore in the race was beautiful and really pretty, it wasn’t flashy, or a night gal; he was also wearing something normal, nothing out of ordinary, and still caught Pai’s eyes. Like I don’t want to say that Pai is not a superficial asshole, because he obviously is. But a lot of his behaviour with Sky is telling me he doesn’t just find him pretty, but also interesting and something makes him worried. 
Rain and Payu also had this thing, where one of them didn’t know why he was trying so hard to get the attention of the other and didn’t know if like him or not. Rain was having mixed feelings toward Payu and it took him a while to admit that he did like him more in a romantic and physical setting. Pai is having this too. He likes Sky physically, but there’s something there that bugs him to know him more. 
Pai is not just a mean and evil person. He is not after Sky because he likes to bother him and make his life insufferable. Pai doesn’t know what happened to Sky. He doesn’t know exactly what happened to him. He is starting to realise some things he said and do trigger something in him but he is still very naive in what exactly does that to Sky. 
The siblings and Payu know that this chase of Pai with Sky is not something to be worried about in the sense that Pai is going to hurt the other. They don’t get in his way, because they know, initially, this is all an innocent game of a man who feels his emotions too strong. Payu is a character that knows the wrongs and the goods of his friend and when Rain said to him that Pai is after Sky he doesn’t worry like Rain because he knows him. I feel like this conception of Pai being an asshole is more about the talking of people around him than himself. Like, we just know Pai is a playboy, and he is flirty, but we haven’t had any situation where he is an asshole with his conquests or he is mean to them. 
I feel like Sky also understands that the chase of Pai is a game, or a waste of time, mainly because he doesn’t want to get hurt again. Which is also shown in his breakdown about Pai texting him. The thing about the texting that stood out to me was the type of texting Pai was sending. Lines along the “please eat”, “how is the reunion going”, “how are you”. They are genuine questions about Sky as a person and what he does. He wants to get him know better and wants to let Sky know that he can have an interesting from him that is not sexual. I think it is overwhelming to Sky because he wants to stop feeling anything, and Pai is not helping. Sky wants to go to school, eat, sleep, read and repeat. I think it is more the fact that many insecure people have when they have someone wanting to talk to them and wanting to get to know them better. Is also overwhelming when someone is “courting” you after a whole year of not having anything romantically or sexually. You don’t know what to do. 
I talked before about the scene in EP8 where Pai wants to start over with Sky. Even if the circumstances of their meeting was awful (asking for sex to let the other go), if they were in other setting, I will still believe Pai would want Sky. 
Okay, back to the start. Body language. So, in EP8, Pai's body language with Sky was all about covering him up and touching every part of him that he wanted. In EP9, while he tries to grab him and Sky let him, he also realises how Sky reacts to them (him touching his face in the street, him touching Sky leg in the table and my favourite: when Sky was eating you can see Pai hands close to the plate and to Sky hands, but Sky avert him and we see Pai face fall of disappoint). When Sky got sick, Pai instead of doing what he wanted like hugging or touching, he asked what Sky wanted, because he knew the type of reaction the guy was having when he initiated without noticing. 
While I do understand the approach of Pai is overwhelming and can be annoying, are we forgetting this was also Rain's strategy to win Payu? He went to the garage 30 DAYS IN A ROW, trying to see Payu, and just because we knew Payu like him doesn't forget the overwhelming factor. 
Anyway, I feel like Pai is one of those characters where they need to prove themselves constantly because of their reputation and they need to work to fight this said reputation in order to win someone. But I also feel like everything that we talk about in these first episodes would not do the entire story justice. Like, I don’t like to talk about the things while they are in the process of making because I feel like I am going to definitely underestimate the result and I would build my expectations and that’s not fair. 
Idk, watching something on air and talking about it is so weird. I want the whole picture nowwwww.

hadestown really does convince you that maybe it’ll turn out different this time. maybe eurydice wont go. maybe hades will let them go. maybe, just maybe, orpheus wont turn around early.
and then she does go. and hades makes them take a test. and doubt creeps in.

i saw people drawing swap aus for pomni and caine so i wanted to join in pomni still keeps some of her personality and the need to escape the circus cause i think it would be interesting for an AI to want to leave with the others!! i think she'd drag caine around and be like: MY NEW FRIEND!! he can teach me all about how humans act!! cause i think she might act a little unintentionally frightening towards the others, so caine is the first one to not be all that afraid of her

The funniest thing that could happen in ofmd season 2 is Stede and Izzy hanging out so much they accidentally become best friends and both absolutely horrified when someone (definitely Oluwande or Jim) points it out to them.
Like I can definitely see a situation happening where Stede goes off into danger and Izzy is adamant that he’s not going after him to help but it immediately cuts to a scene of him going after him and all you can hear is him going “stupid fucking Stede Bonnet” like we know he’d say something like that.
Enemies who grow to care about each other is my favourite thing.
