Ayan might have initiated the first step but as soon as they were underwater, it was actually Akk who kissed Ayan. Ayan waited for Akk, he looks at Akk and sees if he is okay with it now that they cannot be seen by anyone.

I did manage to prevent myself from taking notes on episode nine, but I think I do have to scream incoherently about it for a while. (I literally screamed out loud at the end and scared the real Gillian the cat.)

I just love this show so much! It keeps taking things in unexpected directions and surprising me but it always works. I remember watching the trailer a few months ago, back when I was very new to BL, and thinking, that looks fun and pulpy and silly - a brainless prep school melodrama. But how wrong I was - this show is so far from brainless. And while there is drama, and even arguably melodrama, I would say the prevailing mood has turned out to be tenderness.

I love Akk and Ayan and their relationship so much. And First and Khaotung are portraying them so well. I can feel all the love and tenderness and fear and lust and all the complicated emotions they have about each other. And the way they see each other and understand each other. Sometimes I don't really understand why characters fall in love with each other, but with these two I fully buy it. They are so similar, taking the world onto their own shoulders, and they see that in each other. (Besides of course the intense sexual attraction.)

That scene in the pool! The flirting and the smiles! That underwater kiss - it was very ITSAY, so much that I feel like it was an intentional influence. They're in this kind of slowly shifting holding pattern - their love acknowledged but also not - and it somehow feels very realistic.

The dinner scene with the mom. I loved her support for Ayan's crush. And then in her request to Akk to take care of Ayan - I understand why of course, but I also wanted to yell, Akk doesn't need any more demands on him! He's already under too much pressure from too many sides!

Oh and the scene with Kan and Ayan! That's one of the moments I meant by unexpected directions - I never would have thought of them as allies in romance, but of course they are. And just Kan an Thua in general. I love this meandering path they're taking toward each other, the small steps of courage. I love how they're able to find the bravery to be a certain kind of honest with each other behind the cover of "Bruce Wayne."

Nong, Nun and Nian, I love you and your courage so much. And they're winning people over! I love seeing the trickle of students supporting them growing larger and larger.

Namo is still mysterious to me. As is Sani in many respects. And hooray for Wat and his filmmaking project.

I also have thoughts about the school politics and the political metaphor, and also the plot, but those require thinking and analysis and not just squee-ing.

Some thoughts on the principal and the casting choice of a darker skinned woman to represent the highest authority in the school full of boys. (Colorism like this is not just an issue in The Eclipse, but it feels more jarring in a show as socially aware as this one.) And how she is still subject to the demands of the school board - representing the capitalists and business owners really in control of nations? And it seems like she may become more of a character in her own right rather than just a shady figure of authority. Her whole threat/reminder to Chadok - what is their history?

This might honestly be nothing and just an establishing shot for scenes in Ayan's bedroom (and my fixation might just be fuelled by the use of it in Vice Versa) but there's a small part of me that wonders if this hourglass in which the sand doesn't move (on the bedside table) is something important and will be referenced later in the show...

I think it's only been shown three times so far - twice during the scenes where Akk is with Ayan in the bedroom (and each time the sand-side is up) -> first in ep 3, when Akk is looking for the notebook whilst Aye is showering and then between being caught and them both studying; and then in ep 9, when Aye shows Akk his 'uncle' and then again when they fall asleep.

Interestingly, the third and only other time is in ep 4, when Ayan is reading 1984 and his mum calls to tell him not to go to the protest, and this time the hourglass is sand-side down... so, make of that what you will...

#the eclipse #the eclipse ep 3 #the eclipse ep 4 #the eclipse ep 9 #hourglasses as symbolism for the passage of time #and the desire for time to stop still #as in vice versa #and that time already stopped still for ayan when he lost his uncle #vice versa #watch this NOT be a thing at all and I've only noticed it because it was used recently in vv

I wonder how many takes this took because poor First is clearly FREEZING

his arm is shaking and his teeth are chattering poor baby 😭

I love how well Ayan gets along with his mother and how similar they are! She knew exactly what was going on at the dinner table. She knew Ayan was teasing Akk and she laughed along. She has the emotional intelligence to notice that Akk feels something for Ayan. And she thinks they are a good match, she is fully accepting and supportive of Ayan and Akk. This was so comforting to see.

#the eclipse the series #the eclipse #the eclipse ep 9 #🎞️ my still set #akkayan #i've had this in my draft but didn't had a chance posting it before ep 10 aired #originally wanted to try doing quote edits but can't find any suitable text #and testing a portrait format #and testing higher brightness #since this already there i'm just gonna post it anyway #🎬favorite scenes

being a saionji girl is an eternal state of ‘you don’t understand her like i do’ towards both people who entirely dismiss any complexity of his character and people who over exaggerate how sympathetic he actually is. stop sanitising shitbags but also when a shitbag is compelling, he’s compelling!!!!! often the shitbaggery makes them more compelling. anywayyyy

#so many thoughts about ep 9 atm. what a truly bonkers episode #also just a thing that i love about saionji episodes is how they’re always super important to the overall plot #like the first two eps ep 9 foreshadows finale ep 25 establishes The Car and akio and the tower!!!!!! there’s so much #and he’s so eclipsed from that. just. aaaaaaa. endless thoughts #he’s an irrelevant fucking loser and he also makes the most important narrative observation in the whole show. ANYWAY #rgu #shut up daisy

Is this the infamous Floating Staircase of Death?! Does Ayan live in the Death Staircase house?! Was this already known and I missed it?!

I'm so excited; I've heard the legends but this is my first time spotting them in the wild! (Unless it's another, different, floating staircase house.)
