So guess who finally wrote the SaiZon essay I promised months ago! @there-is-a-carrot-in-my-ear’s post was the last bit of encouragement I needed so thanks for that lol.

I am going to go episode by episode to talk about all the SaiZon scenes. I am using the official LineTV episodes and some of the translations are a bit weird so I will have to occasionally make assumptions with the dialogue, sorry in advance for that. If I happen to assume wrong or make stretch conclusions forgive me for I only have one brain cell and it’s currently bouncing around my head like a window’s screensaver. I am also going to mention some of the behind the scenes episodes so if you haven’t seen those you might be slightly confused, but I don’t have international links for them so I apologize! Also this ended up being 18 pages long- I AM SORRY.

So let’s start with part one of episode one shall we? The beginning starts off weird as hell, honestly I had forgotten how crack this show was after the last few episodes were so- normal? Anyway we are dropped off in Zon’s dream(???) where he sees Tutor and Fighter being cute, and then an absolute precious Saifah- except it is really weird to start off here. This dream doesn’t seem to belong at the beginning because nothing that sets up this dream has happened yet, which I only realized as I rewatched it. Zon doesn’t know about Tutor and Fighter’s relationship until episode 11 and he doesn’t actually know Saifah yet, so to have Zon have this dream as the literal introduction to the show is a bit of either foreshadowing or referencing the idea that this whole show is a dream/Zol’s novel which I think is quite interesting. I don’t have much else to say about this besides I am incredibly impressed with how well this scene garners interest- it’s like I’m watching for the first time again and I /need/ to understand what is going on. Also the animated Zon freaking out about Saifah getting too close? Mood.

There was no SaiZon part in part two so moving on to part three of episode one! This part starts off with Saifah playing the guitar surrounded by a bunch of girls and Zon walking up from behind, seeing him. As much as I would like to say “love at first sight” this is definitely not that- in fact Zon straight up tells the girls they don’t like each other. Which is fair honestly, these two at the beginning don’t seem to have anything in common. Saifah is an engineering student while Zon is a english(literature???) student so they wouldn’t be able to get close through classes and they don’t seem to share many face value interests (Sai with guitar and soccer, Zon with writing and generally “nerdy” stuff) so it would be easy for them both to write each other off. Definitely not a “I hate him” but more of a “I don’t know him and I don’t want to” kinda situation where unless outside forces brought them together they wouldn’t have even considered entering each other’s lives. So shout out to Tutor and Soda for being mvps! This part also gives us the iconic moment of Zon literally standing on a table to fight Saifah and like??? Hello??? The tension already here is so much- but here’s the thing! Why R U has set up their relationship to be that of “enemies” up to this point, so when you first watch it you’re like “hm Sai is trying to get a rise out of Zon because he thinks it is funny because they hate each other” but what Sai says isn’t necessarily mean. Yes Sai does tease Zon about being bad at everything, but after that he just flutters his eyelashes, calls himself cute, and does that cute little smile up at Zon. There is no real hurt behind his words, if that makes sense? It is very much a teasing jeer at Zon to get a reaction, and the second Zon stands on the table Sai smiles and seems to take pride at the action. He isn’t doing it out of hatred or evil, but more like the joy of seeing Zon riled up. Sai blames his actions on disliking Zon because of reasons they’re currently only alluding to but like- bro get over it? There’s no reason for Sai to act like that if that was his only motive so I call his bluff, he has to already be somewhat interested in Zon. Even if it’s not a crush yet he definitely enjoys Zon’s reactions enough to keep pressing buttons.

Finally the end of episode one with part four. Finally! The, also iconic, punch to kiss scene! Sai is smooching the girl Zon is pursuing, it’s upsetting for Zon and Sai is kinda rude about it- then WHAM. Zon, the absolute unit that he is, just fucking decks Saifah. When I tell you I screamed- This is especially important because the thing that finally makes Zon snap is Saifah’s “no one can like you” comment which is so hurtful and man he’s gonna eat his words you can just /feel/ it already. And the punch is completely valid because what Sai did was shitty and honestly Zon had every right to be mad so great moment 10/10. Then we have Sai try to retaliate and first off he misses like a huge dork and then he kinda trips into Zon which leads to them accidentally kissing. Logistically I don’t know how this happened, but who am I to complain? This is of course also Sai’s first experience with a Zontm reaction and that I think is what causes the shift in Saifah’s head. After that huge exposition piece we have Zon dreaming about Saifah in his bed talking about them being together. All I’m gonna say is- is it gay to dream about your not bro wanting to kiss you? The answer is probably yes.

No SaiZon for parts one or two of episode two, but part three gives us a bit to cover! First off- the elevator line scene where Saifah literally stares at Zon with the absolute best puppy eyes and lovesick smile is peak cuteness, like?? Hello??? This is the perfect example of what I mean when I say SaiZon were never enemies- like I can’t imagine hating someone and then letting them shoulder bump me with a “hi”. That’s not how enemies act, this is more of a “well we haven’t always gotten along but I’m willing to move on, here let’s try again” type of situation and it’s fucking adorable. Sai seems confident in his own teasing way and Zon is confused as heck, which is so valid. Mind you this is also several months after their accidental kiss so any hot blooded emotions surrounding them has definitely dissipated which means there is now room for them to grow and initiate a friendship, which is what I assume Sai is trying to do. This is also the first time we get “my Zon” and I swear everytime I hear it I astral project into another dimension, so there’s that. Also Sai fulling embracing the fact that these girls ship them is peak bi confidence (I read Saifah as a bi character don’t @ me lmao), that I can only wish to have. Like Sai seems to already genuinely like being around Zon, lightly teasing. I say this because nothing he said was a dig at Zon harshly but more like something I would say about my friends to get them to give me a funny reaction and he gets exactly that. Zon gives him a reaction and then as soon as he’s gone Sai has this very pleased smile on his face. It really feels like Saifah has already decided that he wants to have some sort of relationship with Zon, at this point I wouldn’t call it a crush yet but more like a casual friendship. Then we have Zon daydreaming about Sai asking him to be partners for the music competition thing and again I’m going to ask- is it gay to daydream about your not bro pouting and wanting to be partners? The answer is probably yes.

Part four of episode two gave us no SaiZon so we move on to part one of episode three! We get a tiny bit of animated Sai talking about flirting with Zon, Zon freaking out you know- the usual. But then we get the stair scene that haunts me. Sai has committed to calling Zon “my Zon” already and I am here for it. His fucking smile after he says it too- boy is enjoying himself. The two fight over whether or not Zon will play with Sai or not and progressively lean into each other’s spaces as they bicker back and forth. Which is valid- Zon doesn’t even know how to play and then to be asked to play with someone he doesn’t really know or get along with, I’d say no too. Anyway Tutor breaks them up drags Sai to class, but not before Sai can say goodbye to “N’Zon” which just really threw me and Zon to be honest. I love that Sai is fully committed to these nicknames and I love how flustered Zon gets because of them- they’re already starting to fall into an ease with each other. Quick note here Saifah tells Tutor that he likes teasing Zon because it makes him happy, which is kinda cute? We see Sai play around with Tor and Day a bit but the way he is with them is vastly different then when he’s with Zon. Again I wouldn’t quite call it a crush yet- but we’re getting there. For now it seems more like an enamoured fascination with this dork of a human. (also real quick side note but I love Soda and would gladly let her step on me--)

Part two of episode three gives us yet another iconic scene- I have dubbed it the gay painc shower scene for obvious reasons. First of all, props to Zon for even grabbing Sai’s towel for him. Like they might not be close, and Sai might tease Zon relentlessly, but Zon is a genuinely good person and I really like that about his character. He doesn’t even hesitate to ask “which one” so he can do that for Sai. But of course Sai has to be a little brat and try to pull Zon into the shower stall with him, causing Zon’s first almost heart attack. Then he crowds Zon up against the wall with the most sensual look and teases him by attempting to remove his towel, giving Zon almost heart attack number two- Sai is seriously a brat and I love it. The funniest part is that this, from my experience at least, is common locker room teasing which Zon clearly wouldn’t know since he’s not in the soccer club- so having Sai do this to him is clearly a point where Zon’s single working braincell goes into gay panic and just short circuits his system and once again that’s valid. Zon tells Sai no matter what he won’t play with him, man these two eat their own words a lot huh, and Sai tells him it’s really up to him. Also side note here I know Junior did this in hopes of getting Sai to convince Zon to do the talent show thingy but I fully head cannon that Junior realizes there’s /something/ going on between them and forced them into this position, do with that what you will. There is also behind the scene footage of this scene (I can’t find an international link to this specific one rip) but it shows Jimmy and Tommy fake biting each other’s fingers and it’s so cute and weird- anyway all this to say I think this is where we start to see a shift in Saifah’s attitude. He’s the one who mentions being partners, mentions kissing, and Zon being a shy Korean drama lead- he’s a huge romantic so this is where he steps up a bit more. Instead of being just a tease in the way Zon acts it is now a tease about them together, being together, testing waters almost. It’s a huge shift if you really think about it, the only thing that stays constant is Zon’s flustered reactions.

Part three of episode three once again delivers with panic gay Zon being a fucking dork. This is where we get that ridiculous moment in the bathroom when Zon thinks two dude are doing the do in a stall and presses Saifah into a wall, you know casually. This scene is so weird and just ??? why??? Saifah takes in all in stride though, this kid is seriously getting whipped quick and I relate. Zon just has such chaotic energy that it’s hard not to play along, no matter how mortifyingly embarrassing he is. Also can we talk about how every time Zon leaves an interaction with Saifah, Sai gets the biggest smile? Like that is so precious I can’t handle it, boy is WHIPPED and doesn’t even know it yet!

Part four gives us a little bit of SaiZon. Zon is distracted by his text conversation (this is not translated so I have no clue what’s being said or who he’s talking to rip) when Saifah comes up behind him. This looks so domestic- like you don’t just do that to someone you barely know, right? Also the fact that Sai can lean over Zon so far when Zon is just sitting is stressful to me. Who gave him the right to be /that/ tall? Anyway Zon goes to stand and Saifah scares him, causing him to trip backwards and have the first of many time where Sai holds Zon up and it’s romantic as heck- They both instantly know where to hold each other, and then gaze at each other’s faces I just ??? I’m short circuiting honestly. This is also the first indication to me that Sai is developing some form of feelings because he keeps looking at Zon’s eyes and lips, and that’s valid. Of course Zon ruins the mood by pushing him away but they both look hurt this time. Sai looks hurt even asking if Zon’s serious about not playing together and it’s the first time we see Sai be any bit vulnerable. He seems to genuinely hurt by the idea and it makes Zon shuffle a bit before leaving. Even when he’s gone Sai looks upset and even comments on how Zon falls easily- which is really cute. This is our first glimpse at the Saifah that seems a bit more like the hopeless romantic we get towards the end of the series, a stark contrast to the overly confident perfect boy persona he uses around the campus.

No SaiZon in part four of episode three or part one of four so on to part two- We get the music partner reveal! And to Zon’s credit he doesn’t immediately turn around and leave. Instead he is actually committed to this and Sai, to his credit, doesn’t make him feel weird. They take the fan page photos and they’re both clearly out of their element here, they’re shy and awkward and it’s precious. They’re both coming to this realization that they’re really doing this- being partners and committing to each other basically. They both seem determined but also terrified of what that means. I love it- because this isn’t about them just yet but more of their shared responsibility to Soda now that they both can’t back down. It’s a good foundation because right now they’re on equal footing, neither really has the upper hand. Soda, my queen, to her credit is trying to get them to see that their arguing isn’t going to help anyone here and it’s a fair point. They’re going to be stuck together for two months (why was I under the impression this whole time it was much longer?) and they both agree to at least attempt. I love how genuinely awkward these scenes are because like I’ve said before they were never enemies but also never friends, they don’t know much about each other yet so it’s weird. What do they talk about, what are their boundaries, they don’t know and I love it. It is the perfect foundation for a fresh start for both of them to learn about each other and build a strong bond. We get a bit of Sai trying to teach Zon guitar strings and it’s a nice moment. They’re both getting comfortable with the other and then Sai plays the love song for Zon- you think Zon’s going to be set off by the moment but instead he teases Sai! He confidently both compliments Saifah and teases, it’s growth! Then Saifah settles to help Zon learn to strum, a moment where they’re very intimately pressed together and have an almost kiss. This is the first time they do the lip bite thing that I noticed they do when they think about kissing the other- and this is the first time that I think they realize their feelings aren’t just basic acquaintances. For Zon he feels something but he is also hung up on the idea that this is all Zol’s book. He is scared because he doesn’t know if these moments, these feelings are real or not. For Saifah I think he is really starting to understand how he feels for Zon, but thinks that Zon doesn’t and will not feel the same. But Sai isn’t the type to push so he just lets it go for now. Then we get the cute montage of them getting closer and teasing in more of a friendly way- again this is just solidifying in our minds and theirs that there is something growing between them. Right now it’s just a natural friendship, but is also hinting at more deep feelings. This is the part that I love the most about SaiZon- this was never a love at first sight relationship, it is one born out of something incredibly natural. They grow into each other and themselves. We start to see Saifah get more comfortable with his dorky side, and Zon gets more confident in himself because of their time together. It’s a breath of fresh air how easily they settle into the other’s presence. And of course we also get the gay pining bed scene and I, for the third time shall ask is it gay to daydream about your new bro laying in bed with you? The answer is probably yes.

Part three of episode four gives us the iconic guitar pick date (yes I understand I keep saying iconic but with SaiZon what isn’t?). This entire scene is just the cutest thing? They fall into each other so easily and they seem to have tons of fun goofing off. It reminds me of my friends and I going to shopping centers just to window shop and be together. It’s so incredibly natural and shows that they’re becoming so much closer then what they started out as. Nothing is over the top or unrealistic, instead it’s effortless and an absolute joy to witness. There’s even a deleted scene where two girls come up to ask for a photo (which is weird but whatever) and Zon gets so lost in his head about how close Saifah is- it really is a defining moment in my mind that Zon is torn. Torn between believing that his feelings are real and that this is all just being a dream from Zol’s novel. I kinda wish this scene hadn’t been deleted because it takes away from Zon’s internal struggle. When they have their little heart to heart and Zon admits that Sai is actually a good person my soul leaves my body. It is so cute and demonstrates that these two have started to grow past their initial judgements of each other and more into learning the intricacies of the other. Anyway it’s cute and I love them, moving on.

Now on to part four of episode four. This gives us the scene that fully convinces me that Saifah is just a big softly. Sai walks into the practice room to see a mess and Zon is asleep on the floor. Instead of being a brat and waking him up, Sai quietly goes around and cleans everything up because he is peak soft boy he just won’t admit it. When he does accidentally wake Zon they’re both just absolute cuties- the way Sai’s face falls when Zon said he was just kidding about wanting to wait for him- my boy is WHIPPED. But here’s the thing, and I’ll come back to this point in a bit but, the way Sai never pushes Zon on anything. It’s clear that Sai is really starting to crush on Zon the way he treats him and acts but any time Zon pulls away Sai just lets him. That’s so refreshing, especially in contrast to the way TorFight act in parallel to SaiZon. There is never an expectation for Zon to meet Sai’s desires and Sai takes only what Zon is willing to offer, and I appreciate it so much. Anyway their little collective panic when Sai tries to take Zon to his room is hilarious they’re both on such different pages and they really are just dorks. And then we have the typical in the rain sequence- oh my gosh- I love some good classic tropes and this is one of them. Once again we see Saifah just be an absolute romantic, he doesn’t even hesitate to take off his jacket to cover Zon and himself. I just- that’s peak romance for me my dudes. Both me and Sai are whipped and that’s just facts. Then Zon (somehow??) forgets how to stand on two legs and trips yet again and we have another close contact scene, but this time there noses touch and Zon’s reaction isn’t nearly as visceral as it has been- it’s almost like he likes the attention up until his mind thinks it’s too close to a novel and he gets scared.

On to episode five’s part one! Zon is finally in Sai’s room and we get the cute hair drying scene that Zon doesn’t appreciate as much as I do- anyway Zon is freaking out and Saifah doesn’t fully understand what he’s babbling on about but still gets his chance to tease. It is once again cute and effortless, I crave more of this (SaiZon special episode I’m looking at you). Sai is getting a bit more confident with his advances but always pulls back the moment Zon freaks, it’s completely them. And then we get them waking up in each other’s arms, the screaming, Zon being an absolute moron. This is why these two are /the/ couple for me. Like no one else could pull this scene off nearly as well as them, it’s great. Also Saifah pulling a 2Moons2 Kit and just yeeting Zon off the bed? Iconic, that’s it that’s the analysis.

Part two of episode five has a moment that’s not a SaiZon scene but I do feel like it’s important in their relationship- Zol tells (well lies but Zon doesn’t know that-) about changing the story after their promise/wish/curse. This is the point where Zon can finally take what he has been experiencing and feeling in for the first time with a clear head. It’s no longer “possibly” influenced by supernatural forces because of Zol. This is when Zon decides “oh this is real, these feelings are real”, and you can tell that the way Zon acts around Saifah is considerably more calm and open to Saifah’s advantages to a point. Occasionally he still talks about it everything being similar to a fiction but he isn’t held back by it nearly as much. Then we get SaiZon practicing in the music room again and being interrupted by Natee and Junior, they kinda make Zon nervous about the show- until Saifah steps in. He confidently tells Zon he believes in him and that he will be there for him and I just- oh my god?? That’s so soft and I swear Saifah is the biggest soft boy ever who is willing to do anything to lift Zon up and that’s precious. They really are slowly starting to get on the same page.

Moving on to episode six part two (this is where we start to see less SaiZon due to the pandemic limiting their filming time)! This episode gives us Zon asking Sai on a guitar buying date. And lemme tell you the way these two act? WHIPPED. They both get so shy and tease the other the perfect amount, they really have grown into each other in ways I don’t think any of us expected. The cute little happy dance they do when they agree and hang up? Boyfriends, just like ??? hello??? Mind you they agree to go the Saturday before the show so they have now spent almost the full two months together- I can’t even believe it. They have had this relationship grow for two months and we’ve only been able to see glimpses, just imagine what we don’t get to see! Anyway we see Saifah being peak baby all bundled up sharing headphones with Zon- which is like peak romance for me I won’t even apologize. And then the pure excitement Saifah has when Zon suggests he stays over at Saifah’s- WHIPPED. He even suggests that there might be something between them when Zon questions their closeness, but the moment Zon wants to change the subject Sai follows his lead, like I’ve mentioned before Sai is not one to ever push Zon for more because he respects Zon so much.

Part three of episode six gives us the rooftop scene! The lingering looks! “The stars are beautiful.”, “It is beautiful-” as Saifah looks at Zon with those soft eyes! THE GAYS ARE PINING. And then them playing together. I am crying??? I can’t even form sentences, I can’t analyze, I just am going to sit here for a moment and think about how this romance is goals. That’s it.

Part four is full of SaiZon just being huge teases. Saifah confidently pulls Zon into him, asking if Zon is afraid of falling in love with him and I just- the way Zon looks at Sai? He’s already in love, and no I don’t take criticism. That’s it, that’s the analysis.

Part one of episode seven is the scene that made me want to write this essay- we have Zon and Saifah in the most intimate scene yet for them. It really is just a back and forth between them that is simple and wholly them. And then it shifts- Zon is looking at Saifah so softly, and is easily going along with what Saifah is doing with no hang ups. Saifah is looking up at Zon like he’s hung the stars and it’s the perfect moment. “You’re being so obedient, be like this more often. I like it”, “I like it too”, even the music is just perfect, but right at the last second Zon looks away. “I didn’t mean I like you.” and Saifah clearly looks disappointed, everything leading up to this was pointing in this direction and it didn’t happen. Saifah very clearly has feelings, he isn’t even trying to be subtle anymore, but not once does Saifah push for more. He backs off and settles down into a level that matches Zon’s comfort zone, because he cares about Zon’s comfort more than his own feelings. They have a moment for the comfort to level out once again and then they’re back to their usual selves. They’re back onto an equal field where they’re both just being themselves together- and they have another almost kiss that Sai does try to play off. Zon is still a bit spooked but it is still another testament to Saifah’s respect of Zon’s boundaries. This is where yet another deleted scene happens that I desperately wish they kept- it shows Zon fast asleep grab at Saifah until he’s completely draped over him. Saifah holds him, very similarly to a scene we will get to shortly, and the smile on Sai’s face? This boy is so in love but also so careful with Zon’s limitations, that just being able to hold Zon is enough to put him at ease. And we were ROBBED of it. Why R U editors turn on your location, I just wanna talk-

Part two of episode seven gives us the most cursed scene that, like Zon, I wish I could forget. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it but the second hand embarrassment is excruciating so for the sake of my sanity I’m gonna kinda gloss over it? Zon sees Sai’s boner, it causes Zon’s single brain cell to explode, that’s it- MOVING ON. On the bright side it also gives us SaiZon’s first public performance together. I assume this is to hype up the actual show, I don’t really care, all I care about is how earnest Saifah is with Zon. Zon is terrified of performing and Saifah is there to cheer him on. He is willing to let Zon leave if it means Zon will be more comfortable and he genuinely doesn’t want to push Zon into anything. Zon finally calms down enough to agree to stay and sing- and then Saifah starts rubbing his hands to give some comfort. The dialogue in this scene will forever go down as one of my favorite exchanges ever- “Are you okay with having me beside you?” SAIFAH HONEY. This one sentence holds everything in it. Is it okay that Saifah tried to kiss him? Is it okay that he got turned on? Is it okay that Saifah clearly has some sort of feelings for Zon? AND ZON SAYS YES. I just, I will never recover. It’s a very cute moment that they share, a sort of understanding that they share now that doesn’t really change what they have already, just gives some clarity to their current situation. And then the performance they give? It’s wonderful. What more can I say?

And now we’re getting to the good stuff- episode eight, part one. Sai is able to sneak read a bit of Zon’s writing, Sai trying to make himself look not suspicious is so funny, but the absolute angle Zon lets him get away with it. Then they have a cute back and forth about Sai wanting to sleep over at Zon’s place, it’s precious and shows that since the last time Zon seems a bit more comfortable with the obvious flirting and even does some himself. “Otherwise I’ll kiss you.” Saifah being bold as fuck and Zon not running away? That’s what we call growth! Then when Saifah is actually at Zon’s home and they’re telling his parents about the music show they are in full support, Zon’s mother and Saifah both teasing him about his name’s meaning. It’s light hearted and fun and I appreciate how cool Zon’s parents seem to be with their son’s and Saifah’s relationship (thus far). But them being so okay with his joining the music show compared to how unsupportive about his writing hurts, both me and Zon. When they’re in his room Zon is visibly upset with how his parents have handled his passions and Saifah is doing his best to cheer him up. Giving him some comfort, and this is where he admits to reading a few chapters of Zon’s fiction and Zon looks shattered. He is so afraid it’s bad because no one will support him, encourage him until Saifah tells him he actually liked it. That if he wants to keep writing he can count on Saifah to read it and it’s so touching because Zon finally has someone who believes in him. They have this really longing moment of just staring into each other’s eyes and it’s so soft and just full of pining. EXCEPT once again there’s a deleted scene we were ROBBED of. (Why R U’s editing team is out to hurt me apparently) In the deleted scene there was supposed to be a kiss to end the longing stares, this would be their first real kiss. And as much as I would have /loved/ that I can understand wanting the other scene being /the/ moment, but it doesn’t make me wish this scene hadn’t been cut any less.

The next three parts of episode eight I’m going to talk about in one piece because it is basically one long scene that’s just cut into parts. (Part 2, Part 3, Part 4) We have finally gotten to /the/ moment they’ve been leading up to this entire show, the music performance. When we start Zon is asleep and Saifah has arrived with food, trying to wake him up and only successful when he manages to kinda kiss Zon. They bicker a bit in their normal way, Zon whines about wanting an egg and Saifah gives his up happily. It's freaking adorable and the quality content I signed up for. Soda puts them in their performance outfits. They have a weird little fashion show that just makes me love Tommy and Jimmy with all my heart, you know the usual. And then the time gets closer to their performance- Zon is, rightfully, nervous and is having a little breakdown in front of Saifah who is trying his absolute best to calm him down. It’s a touching scene because you can tell that Sai doesn’t really know what to do to help but is seriously trying, and then Zon asks for some encouragement. Saifah wrapping his arms around Zon and hugging him is a scene that I will never recover from. Saifah is so confident in Zon’s skills and very clearly wants to perform with Zon that he’s willing to just hold the nervous kid in his arms until he calms down. It’s really touching and romantic and just perfect. It does the trick and they’re able to perform without a hitch. (I would like to say at this point I have been working on this essay for two days and have decided to throw alcohol into the mix so if I start going off the rails- whoops?) The actual concert is super lovely, like Tommy can sing don’t even @ me because I could listen to these two sing and nothing else and I would be completely happy with that, and when they go to do their thank you speeches my heart swells. Hearing Zon heartfully thank Saifah for doing this with him and then to hear Saifah ask every one to cheer for “my zon” one more time, it’s the pinnacle of romance. I don’t even think that they know how it looks to an outside viewer because they’re so lost in their own world. To them this wasn’t about the concert anymore but them proving themselves to each other, something so meaningful to them because without this moment being the huge lead up they would never have been anything more than people who shared mutual friends and “hated” each other. Without this concert neither would have taken steps to bring them closer, to this peak. And that is exactly what the concert is, it’s their peak because it’s the tipping point for their relationship. Any hesitation from either at this point would break it all down. And so when the two of them head backstage and they have this magical moment- this is it. Zon is complaining about the strings hurting his fingers so Sai softly blows on them to soothe the pain, it’s simple, quiet, and breathtaking. “Why are you so nice to me?” It's such a simple question, Zon’s eyes are filled with stars and he might not thinking that he’s going to get a good answer. “Because you already have my heart.” That’s it. Nothing Saifah could have said would top this. It leaves no questions, this is it for Saifah- he is throwing in everything at this moment and Zon just stares at him. He doesn’t flinch at the kiss Saifah leaves on his forehead, instead he puts his hands on Saifah’s cheeks and pulls him closer so he can kiss his nose. It’s not words that either need now because they just understand. They’ve taken the chance and it’s real now. Them just brushing noses in comfort is enough, but then they go all out. They /finally/ have their first /real/ kiss and it’s a culmination of everything they’ve been through and felt up until this point. I’m sure everyone has seen the behind the scenes clip of the pd calling them out for not following the script. Supposedly it wasn’t supposed to be so passionate but more of a quick peck, but this- what they gave us was nothing short of perfection. This kiss is a solidifier for everyone, especially Zon who has struggled internally this whole time about whether this is real or not. This is a confirmation that Zon’s feelings, now I might be reading a bit too into it/self projecting onto Zon, are valid. Zon and Saifah, as far as we know (I haven’t read the novel either btw), are presumably perceived as straight hell they may have thought they were straight up until they developed feelings for each other. Saifah develops his feelings confidently, he isn’t ashamed or shy about them. Like everything else in his life he takes it and makes it his own and that is completely valid. But for Zon it is a struggle the whole way through. He’s scared and he overthinks, over analyzes everything, and shys away from Saifah’s advances until now- a common theme found in many unsure/closeted queer kids. And THAT is also valid. They’re both so completely different and yet they fit together in ways that I don’t even think they knew was possible. The way they play off each other, can read the other, knows what to do or say- it’s the perfect amount of them.

Episode nine is purely TorFight and part one of episode ten gives us only crumbs of SaiZon, but they are crumbs I would die for. It’s a couple of minutes of a sleepy Zon being cuddled by Saifah. Nothing fancy, nothing overly sexual, just the domestic bliss of these two holding each other. Once again it’s a testament to how made they are for each other. In any other drama (and I say this with affection to all the other bls I have consumed) this wouldn’t fly- this slow progression isn’t the norm for these types of shows and that’s why it’s so damn refreshing. Saifah in all his suave bad boy persona, is truly just a hopeless romantic that wants to hold his boyfriend in his arms for as long as he wants. Zon for all his shy avoidance of anything romantic, just enjoys having Saifah by his side. There is no one party pushing for more, no one party aggressively making moves that are unwanted. It’s just these two content in taking it slow and basking in the warmth of it,

Again for episode eleven we only get a little bit of SaiZon in part four, but that’s fine. It’s especially fine because it’s like every good sick fic I’ve ever read put into canon. Need I say more? It’s soft and cute, Saifah being a whiny sick baby while Zon takes care of them is peak devastation. I really have nothing to say here except thinking about this scene gives me a hundred and one fic ideas and melts my cold dead heart. Moving on.

Episode twelve has a bit of SaiZon but outside of them being totally whipped and wearing matching outfits to the beach I don’t have anything to say? Like I could just scream about the fact that they’re cute but if you’ve made it this far I would hope you already know that, so I’m gonna carry on to episode thirteen- hope you don’t mind!

The finale- episode thirteen. Once again I’m going to just talk about it as a whole rather than split it up because this episode also follows like one central moment in time rather than having huge time breaks in between. (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4) Now we can get into the quintessential moments that define why I think SaiZon is one of the most superior relationships in media I’ve ever consumed. We are thirteen episodes in, we know these characters. They have grown into each other in front of us and this episode shows it in such a poetic way. When Sai and Zon get to their room at the hotel Sai is quick to tease Zon about his “duty” (for future reference if I ever hear someone say duty in reference to sex I might just cry) that night and of course in typical Zon fashion he gets a little antsy. But it doesn’t stop there like it would have earlier, instead Zon uses his nerves to turn the tables. He initiates a kiss with Saifah! Leaving both Saifah and I stunned in the process before teasing and dragging him out for their cute little beach date montage. Now mind you I am gay and love the beach so this shit hits hard for me. Like they’re being your typical love sick characters, Saifah stealing a few cheek kisses to Zon’s surprise, they goof off on a boat(?), they have those dumb couples clothes on- it’s really over the top cute like what else can I say. You want proof love exists? Here you go. Anyway they’re cute, it’s lovely, moving on. They have, I can only imagine this as a very strange double date, dinner with TorFight some bickering happens- again your typical drama moment it’s not too special. Until we get back to the bedroom. Now I have seen a lot of queer media in my life and with that comes your natural tropes (I say tropes fondly because I tend to like most tropes), and that’s what I was expecting. But no, I have never seen anything so purely born out of natural instinct and emotion in my life. Saifah sitting at the edge of the bed strumming a nameless song out of nerves, Zon trying to get his attention in the dorkiest way possible. Once again this is so totally and utterly /them/. I can’t picture anyone doing the way they did, selling that natural awkwardness that comes from your first time with someone you love? Fuck man. Saifah is finally all out of the confidence he normally has, instead he’s avoiding Zon and the prospect of the night by playing the guitar. It makes sense too because this is his first time doing this with someone that he loves, and his first time with a guy which is another added layer of nerves. It’s a lot for both of them, but Zon seems to be actually interested now- finally starting to make moves himself because he knows for a fact Sai isn’t going to push in fear of spooking Zon. And then we get the real moment that really changes everything, “You have music in your heart, don’t you want to have Zon in your heart?” This is it- this is the moment they’ve both been waiting for. Zon already has Saifah’s heart, he has for a while I believe, but this question is what tells Sai that Zon is ready too. They want the same thing, each other. Now we get one of the best build ups I have ever experienced. If you're watching just at face value it might seem a bit strange but every action is deliberate. @spookshowenilorac and I have this running theory that Zon doesn’t close his eyes during some kisses because he is afraid that if he does it will all disappear, it’ll be just a dream from Zol’s fiction (and anytime one of us mentions it I tear up). He’s been so afraid for so long and this moment does feel like it’s out of a dream, it’s overwhelming in passion and over thinking. But the moment Zon accepts it as real it progresses. Mind you, as I’m sure you already know, the tongue in these kisses was not scripted. This is purely Tommy and Jimmy giving this scene and these characters everything they had. It just feels right, after everything these two have been through, and to not have that level of intimacy would have left this scene hollow. The passion and dedication Mii2 gave SaiZon is unparalleled. But that’s not it is it? No, they take it even farther. The promises they make each other? “I promise that I will only have you.” “I’ll give in only to you.” The unscripted tears and voice crack? Nothing can or will top that. I’m sorry but that is /love/. This isn’t based on lust or desire or just purely passion, what Saifah and Zon have is so palpable you can almost feel it. I don’t think any words in our universe can explain the raw emotion that just envelopes this scene in particular. And to know half of it was unscripted and Mii2 just felt like this was what was needed, what the characters would have done is so validating? Just knowing that both Tommy and Jimmy see it too, how this scene needed to play out this way in order for Sai and Zon to have their story complete is unprecedented. Again I wish I had the words to describe it better but I just don’t, so I hope you can understand at least the surface level of what I’m trying to get at here. Anyway let’s move on before I combust by the pure emotions in the bed scene to the next bed scene! This is where Zon and Saifah wake up the morning after, and when I say this is yet again peak devastation I am not kidding. They’re so bright and loving with each other in their typical teasing manner. Saifah steals a cheeky kiss from Zon and demands a kiss on his cheek, of course Zon tries to mess around refusing, then kissing, then refusing when Sai asks for more. It’s light hearted and the emotional levity we all needed. Especially with the dazed look Zon has, I think here is when he fully understands and accepts that Saifah and this feeling isn’t a dream. This is real and his to keep. The passion between them hasn’t died down but their relationship isn’t solely based on it being so aggressive either. They excel in these in between moments, the give and take of both a teasing joke and a desire to be together. It’s not as primal as the love TorFight have, but that doesn’t make either any less valid. It’s the fact that they’re such vastly different relationships that makes me admire this show more. The contrast between the two really highlights that no two relationships are the same, just like no two people are the same and that’s a wonderful message. Moving on from that very domestic scene we get the beach kissing scene (yes I’m skipping a tiny bit because I have nothing to say about SaiZon walking in on TorFight besides gay solidarity baby!). First of all I wanna point out that their outfits are peak gay culture, like I can see @travelersmindpalace and I wearing the exact same outfits during our next beach date and it /hurts/. This is also where I point out that I have a weak spot for height differences and holy shit does SaiZon deliver. The way Zon has to kinda tippy toe to kiss Sai or have Saifah lean down a bit- I’m whipped. They also thank each other for coming into their lives and I had to pause for a good few minutes to have a nice little cry over that. Like??? How??? How are they so pure and sweet after everything- I really can’t fathom it. And they do that soft little nose bump thing before they kiss- my gay heart can really only take so much of this without crying over them. They truly are the pinnacle of relationship goals. I don’t know how else to say that? They really just are so encouraging of each other, the boundaries they set up are respected, there’s never a moment of an imbalance of power, they just have a healthy relationship that’s based on trust and understanding. I hope in the in the future we get more shows depicting a relationship like this.

This was a lot and I am sorry for the word dump?? If you made it this far I love you and I beg you to scream about SaiZon with me- and with that I’m done!

#why r u #saizon #saifahzon #THIS TOOK FOREVER I'M SORRY #this is almost 8000 words of me crying over my love for saizon episode by episode rip #boba!wordcollections #it's 1am I'll deal with the consequences of this when I wake up :3

Love in a Laundromat -SaifahZon, M, Ch. 6/?

Notes: Oops I did it again, setting a chapter counter and then realizing it’s going to probably be double that, my bad.

Summary: Zon's favorite place is a laundromat. That is until a certain tall, handsome stranger steals his washer and seems hellbent on making Zon miserable.

Read here or on ao3! :)

Zon had been mostly sober when he left Japan's party sometime after one in the morning, but he still feels that giddy kind of tipsy as Saifah pulls up to Zon’s apartment.

Because Saifah had offered to see him home. Tutor had grilled Saifah to ensure he was sober enough to drive. Saifah had had fewer drinks than Tutor himself, so he’d passed with flying colors, and, not long after, Zon had sat on the back of Saifah’s motorbike wondering what to do with his hands. Then, Saifah had grabbed Zon’s hands and placed them around his waist, telling him over his shoulder, “Hold on tight.”

And it’s one of the most fucking cliche tropes out of a romance novel, but Zon follows directions. Saifah’s skin is warm beneath his hands, reminding Zon of how that heat felt under his bare palms. He swallows, hard, and almost buries his blushing face into Saifah’s back, right between his shoulder blades. But they’ve already touched too much that night and Zon teeters between wanting more and not sure if he can handle it if he gets it, so he stops himself.

The cool night-time air as they drive is like a jolt to his muddled, horny and happy brain. He can feel himself starting to freak out, like, majorly. But he’s still flying from Saifah kissing his lips, his neck, his shoulder. How that perfect smile had dragged itself across his skin. He had felt wanted when Saifah kissed him. Zon is realizing he might really like being wanted.

The ride back to Zon’s place hadn’t been long enough. Now they're lingering at the entrance to Zon's apartment building. Saifah is still sitting on his bike, and even like that Zon is barely taller which is so unfair. Saifah reaches up. His touch is feather-light against Zon’s throat as he undoes the clasp of the spare helmet for him.

"I need this back," Saifah says. “For next time.”

Zon is too focused on swallowing against his dry throat to reply. Saifah's gaze flutters from Zon's eyes to his lips, then back. He is asking for permission to kiss Zon again, but Zon suddenly becomes a bundle of nerves because if he starts kissing Saifah he might just not stop and might invite him up to his room, which is too fast. Way too fast.

A hand ruffles his hair for the second time that night. When Zon refocuses, Saifah’s puppy dog eyes aren’t begging anymore, but there isn’t judgment, either. Just some bizarre fondness that makes Zon's heartbeat quicken and his gut twist because it feels so weird to have that sort of look directed at him.

"You better go inside before you get kidnapped,” Saifah says, using his hold on Zon’s head to nudge him towards the door.

Zon huffs once, then again when Saifah chuckles, happy with the reaction. "I'm not a kid!"

Saifah drops his hand and shrugs. "I'm still waiting here until you make it inside."

The declaration throws Zon for a loop. He doesn't know why it does when they already ate face just a few hours before. It's just not fair for Saifah to sound so genuine with those words. They should be teasing. Teasing would let Zon mutter, "Do what you want."

Instead, Zon ends up flustered and blushing and unable to bite back a shy smile. "Um, thanks.” Zon rolls back and forth on his heel; he doesn’t want to leave yet and is struggling to take that first step away from Saifah. “See you Thursday then?"

A brief glimpse of what Zon thinks is relief passes through Saifah's expression. Then, he beams, the soft moonlight illuminating his face. "Yeah, Thursday. Definitely."

Lost in Saifah’s eyes, Zon still hesitates before literally shaking himself out of his stupor. He takes a huge jump back, because ripping off the bandaid is apparently the only way to freaking break the spell. “Okay. Bye, Saifah."

A soft chuckle fills the warm, late night air. "Good night, Zon."

Saifah keeps his word and waits until Zon makes it through the entrance before starting his bike. Zon doesn’t remember what happens between then and closing his bedroom door, but his grin is so big his dimples will probably never even out.

How did a simple night feel so unexpectedly...amazing?

Ugh, Zon thinks as he slides down the cool, wooden door with a dreamy sigh, how cheesy.

But cheesy or not, words are still flowing into Zon’s mind at a rapid pace. Desperate to hold onto them, Zon grabs for the first writing utensil and paper he can find; a silver permanent marker and some unfinished math homework. Then, he scrawls lyrics about falling and ignoring caution lights and sharing truths in the dark.

Each word is as warm as Saifah’s smile.

Zon is freaking out.

But not like he should be freaking out. Not like he always freaks out.

Freaking out should be: anxiety twisting his stomach until he almost pukes. Heartbeat quickening until his breathing labors and he’s dizzy. Lip red because he can’t stop chewing it nervously. Head spinning because he doesn’t know where he and Saifah are in terms of that whole making out thing.

Freaking out should not be: butterflies fluttering when he sees Saifah through the glass door, casually filling his washer with a load of whites. Chest warming when he notices the guitar resting on the bench. Throat drying as he takes in how nice Saifah’s dark jeans fit him and how even his ratty, laundry-day t-shirt works for him.

The spinning rears its anxious head again. How was Zon supposed to act now? Was he supposed to hug Saifah? Were they, like, dating? Friends with benefits? Were they even friends? They had hung out at the party but the alcohol had made it a little easier for Zon to hold a conversation. If he’s awkward like he normally is, what kind of signal would that send Saifah? Would it make him think twice about kissing Zon?

Zon groans and does a full-body shake, and then jumps in place a few times. Those are way too many questions to think about right now, and Mrs. Appletil is watching him, concerned, because he’s been lingering outside the door for a good three minutes now.

“Hello,” Zon says once he’s finally made his way to his washer and to Saifah’s side.

“Hi,” Saifah replies.

Okay, so Saifah is acting totally normal. Maybe the slightest bit unaffected. Not immediately bringing up their kissing. That means Zon should pretend like nothing happened, too, right? Or is Saifah waiting to bring it up? People probably don’t greet each other with, ‘Yo remember when your tongue was in my mouth?’ Right?

“How are you?” asks Saifah, yanking Zon out of his thoughts.

“I’m okay.” Zon clears his throat.” I, uh, see you’re doing laundry.”

Goddammit, what was that? It takes all of Zon’s willpower to not dump his laundry on his head and hide away in the basket for the rest of his life.

“Just kidding?”

Saifah one hundred percent knows Zon wasn’t kidding, but he does that cute little eye squint and head tilt thing he does when amused, and Zon feels the slightest bit less stupid.

“So, my Zon,” Saifah says as he sits down on the bench and sets his guitar in his lap. The same position he was in last week and the week before, ready for Zon to settle in next to him. “Which song should we start with this week?”

Zon’s butterflies are already kicking as he sits down, more aware of Saifah’s presence than he has been in weeks. “Your turn. I picked last time.”

Saifah chooses some old country song Zon has only heard a few times. But, like always, if Zon doesn’t know the lyrics, he brings them up on his phone, and Saifah makes it easy to follow his playing. More than once Zon glances up to find Saifah watching him, a pleasant smile on his lips. He nods, encouraging, every time Zon messes up or hesitates, still not used to having an audience.

They’re about thirty minutes in when Saifah asks, “Did you write anything new this week?”

“A few.” Zon flips the pages, searching for the last pages he’s written in. He gestures towards the left page. “I’m not super happy with this one, though.”

Saifah makes a curious noise, then points to the page on the right. “Wait, what about this one?”

Zon follows Saifah’s finger...

And his stomach plummets.

Lights the title reads. It’s notably less quick catscratch than the other songs filling the notebook.

Because the first place Zon had written it down was on a math sheet with a silver marker, and transferring it over had given him time to write each word crisp and pretty, like they deserved.

Saifah backs away and strums a few notes. Instead of the space giving Zon room to breathe, his breath catches at how perfectly Saifah’s music connects to Zon’s lyrics. How they capture the breathlessness he felt scribbling them down.

But those words are too personal right now. They give away far too much. He isn’t sure he’s ready for them to be heard yet, especially not by the person they were inspired by.

“No!” Zon snaps when Saifah leans back in to read the first few lines again. He slams the notebook shut as Saifah jumps back, startled at the sudden harshness in Zon’s tone. “Um, I’m sorry, it’s just—”

Saved by a literal bell, Saifah’s washer buzzes loudly, followed closely by Zon’s. Their conversation comes to a screeching halt, and Zon sighs, relieved.

They’re quiet as they swap their clothes from the washer to dryer. Saifah finishes first. As soon as he gently drops the dryer lid, he leans his shoulder against the tall washer and says, “Wanna go somewhere else?”

Zon glances up from setting the timer, crinkling his brow. “What do you mean?”

“We’ve got an hour until our stuff dries. Let’s go to the coffeeshop I play at.” Saifah smiles like Zon’s freak out over his notebook has been totally forgotten. “I want to show it to you.”

Saifah. Not in the laundromat. No alcohol. Invitation for Zon only. Is this a...date? Was Zon okay with it being a date—

“But what about our stuff?” Zon asks, flight response going immediately into ‘how do I get out of this’ mode. “What if someone breaks in and tries to steal your guitar, or my backpack, and then something happens to Mrs. Appletil, and—”

“Whoa, whoa! Calm down,” Saifah says. There’s a twinkle of amusement in his eyes, but the way he puts his hands on Zon’s shoulders is soothing; it tells Zon he isn’t laughing at him. “We can bring our stuff with. And have you seen how quick Mrs. Appletil untangles those metal hangers? Anyone who can do that can easily hold their own in a fight.”

It’s absolutely ridiculous logic, but for some reason it chills Zon’s nerves.

Maybe leaving the comfort of the laundromat and spending time with this Tall Giraffe somewhere else wouldn’t be so bad. Why was he so desperate to find an excuse out of it, anyway?

Zon relaxes against Saifah’s hands where they still hold him steady.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

out of all the bls you have watched, list 5 characters who are your type/would date and why? :)

Alright so I don’t have a type? My brain just decides that it likes someone and I roll with it dsjhgjdsk but okay here are 5 characters who have characteristics that I really love and would totally date I guess?

Ae (Love By Chance) - He’s always my number one choice, idk he’s the perfect boyfriend and he’s just so comfortable in his own skin and I LOVE that. He’s protective over Pete and gets angry when someone treats him badly or is wrong to him and I love that because ngl I’m a lot like Pete in the fact that I’m really soft and sometimes people walk all over me so if someone got protective over me I’d be extreme hearteyes and oh boy to have someone look at me the way he looks at Pete? Wow.

Fighter (Why R U) - I dunno he kinda has this bad boy image going on but then once you get to know him and see that he’s the complete opposite of that.. he’s just a boy in love and I’M WEAK! He’s absolutely whipped for Tutor and the way he’s so cautious with him gets my heart every time. Also honestly when Tutor goes all confident tease on his ass that’s literally something I do and Fighter’s reactions are perfect I’m living sdhgdsjg

Saifah (Why R U) - He’s a tall softie who’s really open about his feelings and honestly?? Who could ever resist those puppy dog eyes?! The way he’s so loving and patient with Zon like damn he really loves him huh. And he’s SO TALL he could just carry me around 24/7 that would be great.

Green (2gether) - Oh my god I’m sorry but?? Dating Green would be an absolute blast everything would just be so fun all the time and just imagine the date ideas he’d come up with! He can be a little over dramatic and exaggerates when he’s upset but I’m really chill and open when it comes to emotions so I feel like that would balance out. But!! He’s the type of person you could just be yourself around and have fun. I could see us making stupid tiktoks together lmao.

In (Until We Meet Again) - Alright yes I feel like my bias towards Earth comes into play a lot in this but I just really love his confident and chaotic energy. We’re kinda similar and I feel like together we’d be a whole ridiculous tornado and wouldn’t that just be BRILLIANT!

#like I said... I don't have a type #Anonymous #there are so many more than these though it was so hard to narrow it down #why are you guys always asking about my type tho #replies

Why R U episode 7 liveblogging

She’s Tutor’s sister!! YES!!! I feel vindicated. People thought she was his mom last week, but I totally thought she was too young.

Still, shitty of her that she did not tell Tutor she was going abroad till the very last moment, and that then she guilt-tripped him into not being mad at her.

My son is a darling. Still trying to feel happy for his big sister, even though he’s actually sad about losing the support of yet another person in his life. His sad puppy face! ;_;

She actually knows Tutor pretty well if she could smell at once that something’s bothering him.

And the fake smile appears again on Tutor’s face! I hate that smile. It should never appear on my son. :(

Oookay. So Saifah has been reading a romance book? Or an erotic book? And is super embarassed about it. Mmmhhh, ‘kay.

Zon is actually quite restrained in his reaction to this, since he did overstep his boundaries by snooping around.

HAH HAH HAH HAH, Saifah you idiot. Zon was totally going to drop the subject if you had too.

And now Zon will be teasing you forever, Saifah! You brought this on yourself.

And now you want Zon to serenade you. Okay.

The play fighting is pretty adorable. Still, they both have to know it’s flirting, right? No?

Ooohh, interesting. Zon is scared as usual, but not actually repulsed by the idea of kissing Saifah anymore. Still good save with the lamp, Saifah.

HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH, that was hilarious!!! And Zon is actually impressed by Saifah’s morning wood. And he hit his head on the bathroom door he forgot to open!! Idiotic Zon. ^_____^

Japan and Tai are adorable.

Oh, now you’re having a crisis, Zon? Come on.

Ok, Japan is totally falling for Tai’s charms.

Awww. Saifah is actually concerned for Zon’s anxiety and is willing to cancel the gig. Does Zon realise he’s holding onto Saifah like an anchor?

Zon. Zon. Baby. Saifah is trying to cheer you up, but if you keep eyefucking him like that...

Why is Zon literally the only one always with a backpack? Do his friends never study? Where do they keep their books?!

And the backpack is Zon’s shield, I get it, but still it makes no sense.

OMG, what is it that Tutor and his sister Tong are eating?! It looks so fucking delicious, I want to eat it too!!! Om nom nom, so yummy!!

Not really sure about the entire cactus metaphor, but if it made Tutor even wiser, good!

Ok, HwaHwa’s not subtle at all. Tutor has realised at once that something’s up.

Really, both HwaHwa and Day are quite obvious. And idiots. Tutor’s got your number, guys. He does have the only functioning brain in this series, after all.

I am glad HwaHwa is with someone who actually wants her back, but seriously, she rebounded too fast, they’re making her look really shallow. :( Why are women always drawn this way in many tv shows??!!!

Awwww, Tong actually wants to earn enough to pay for Tutor’s tuition!! This is nice. Especially as it comes directly after HwaHwa.

OMG. Tutor TOLD HIS SISTER. OMG. My son has balls of steel!!!

O____________O OMG, Tong is actually fabulous??!!! This is handled so much better in a Thai show than in the great majority of western shows!!!

HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH Tong wants to “meet him” my ass. She totally wants to give Fighter the shovel talk!!

Oh, dear. -____________- Why is every scene with Zol always so cringeworthy??!!! And poor Zen. He deserves better. :(

OMG, both Tutor and Fighter are so fucking embarassed in Tong’s presence!!

Aaaaaaand smooth, Tutor. You totally wanted Tong to have some time alone with Fighter for that shovel talk. Excellent as usual, my boy.

HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!! Fighter’s on his best behaviour, and still Tong goes for the kill.

This is like, the opposite of the shovel talk? And yet still has the same effect. Tong is love.

OMG, Fighter’s like, a normal person with Tong. He really does want to make a good impression on her.

Tutor is so fucking sad Tong is leaving. That crying puppy face is killing me. ;____;

Okay, Fighter, you weren’t stellar about the comforting thing, but I’ll give you a passing grade.

But if you hurt my boy’s feelings on the rooftop I’ll hurt you, okay??

What is it with this series and rooftops? First Saifah and Zon, and now Fighter and Tutor are getting their own rooftop scene. I suppose it must be very romantic in Thailand?

OH. Tutor chickened out of telling Figher. Too emotionally worn out. Wise choice.

Ouch. But Fighter’s not having it? And Tutor is squaring his shoulders. He’s afraid Fighter’s going to hurt him. Again. When he’s at his weakest.

Tutor is the best. The smoothest. Balls of steel. Really.

And you’re totally playing the chicken game, aren’t you?

And that was the most telling love not-confession ever. Good job, Tutor.

OMG. OMG. OMG. FIGHTER FINALLY CAME AROUND. OMG.

That was, like, the best kiss scene?? Wow. And they were totally acknowledging their respective hardons. Good.

Okay!!!!! That was a really good episode!!! Tong is love. Too bad we probably won’t see her again. :( And I totally didn’t expect Fighter to come around this soon. Hopefully he’ll not regress.

SPOILERS BEWARE!

Are tharntype literally glowing? (Honestly forgot I was watching whyru for a sec. Why was their part so long?)

Laatste keer

Maandag vertrokken we ’s ochtends naar het kantoor, omdat we hier werden opgepikt om het veld in te gaan. Na ongeveer anderhalf uur wachten, vertrokken we samen met de Finse studenten en een ranger naar onze bestemming. Na een steile klim, waar we een gems zagen wegspringen, hingen we onze wildcamera’s op. Dit was op de locatie waar een tijd terug beren gespot zijn op de wildcamera’s. Op hoop van zegen, dus.

Die middag werkte ik nog aan mijn onderzoek en keuzedeel, maar ik kon me niet enorm goed concentreren. Rond een uur of half 6 begonnen we aan onze wandeling naar het restaurant. Hier hielden we een soort afscheidsdinertje met de Finse studenten en onze lokale gids/vriendin. Wat begon als een gezellig avondje, liep al snel de mist in. Tijdens het wandelen begonnen een stel ontzettend schattige puppy’s naar ons toe te rennen, al blaffend. We probeerden hem nog weg te jagen, omdat er auto’s aankwamen. Maar helaas, het was al te laat. Schreeuwend probeerde de puppy van de weg te komen, terwijl zijn poot al gebroken was. Een verschrikkelijk, hartverscheurend geluid kwam er uit het beestje, en iedereen was in shock. We wilden hem uit zijn lijden verlossen, maar dit werd al gedaan door een vrachtwagen die aan kwam razen. Dood was hij nu zeker. Terwijl het beestje enorme stuiptrekkingen had en de moeder jammerde, liepen wij verslagen verder.

Een ontzettend nare aanwijzing, die laat zien dat er nog grote veranderingen moeten plaatsvinden in Roemenië. Het hondenprobleem is veel te groot geworden hier.

Na deze gebeurtenis hebben we alsnog gegeten in het restaurant, en dat moment even kunnen vergeten tijdens onze goede gesprekken.

Dinsdag werden we opgehaald om de Sfinxul Lainicilor nog een keer te wandelen; één van onze wensen voor ons vertrek. In de auto hadden we het over de hydroplant welke mogelijk geplaatst wordt in het park. Dit zou ervoor kunnen zorgen dat het water in de rivier compleet verdwijnt, en het hele ecosysteem vernield zou kunnen worden. Sommige medewerkers zijn er fel op tegen dat dit plan doorgaat, maar niet iedereen maakt zich er hard voor. De directeur heeft duidelijk connecties in de politiek die bepalen wat er echt gebeurt in het park. Maar als dit plan doorgaat, worden ook Natura-2000 gebieden vernield..

De wandeling was weer super mooi. Deze keer was er geen harde zon, maar was het mistig en bewolkt. Dit zag er mysterieus uit, en zorgde voor een prettige temperatuur. Toen we terugkwamen bleek dat iedereen die mee was gereden beneden anderhalf uur op ons had gewacht. Dit bevestigde ons idee weer over hoe ze hun tijd niet efficiënt indelen, en zoveel meer werk zouden/hadden kunnen doen. Na onze wandeling ben ik verder gegaan met zowel mijn onderzoek, mijn keuzedeel, als mijn stageverslag en blog.

Woensdag zijn we voor een werkproces nog afval gaan ruimen in het nationale park. We wisten dat er een grote container stond waar we op de terugweg onze vuilniszakken in kwijt konden, dus dit kwam goed uit. Uiteindelijk hebben we zeven zakken van 60 liter weten te vullen. Dit was natuurlijk nog lang niet alles, maar dat was hoeveel we konden dragen. De rest van de dag zijn we aan onze aftermovie gaan werken, en ben ik verder gegaan met mijn verslagen.

De volgende dag vertrokken we naar het kantoor om enkele dingen te regelen. Daarna gingen we het veld in om onze wildcamera’s op te halen. Dinsdag was het al een lastige klim, maar na twee dagen regenen was deze steile wandelingen enorm lastig en spannend. Maar dit was het helemaal waard, want jazeker: wij hadden twee beren op onze wildcamera’s. Een geweldig cadeau voor onze een na laatste stagedag, waar ik dan ook ontzettend blij mee ben. Nadat we de beelden bij het kantoor gekopieerd hadden, ging ik thuis aan de slag met mijn verslagen, de video’s van de beren, mijn blog en de aftermovie.

Vrijdag was onze laatste stagedag, na 10 weken gewerkt te hebben in Defileul Jiului Nationaal Park. We waren vooral bezig met stageopdrachten afronden, tussendoor alvast wat dingen opruimen en op het kantoor wat dingen regelen. Omdat we moesten gaan, kwamen later nog de directeur en twee medewerkers naar ons huis om afscheid te nemen. Hier konden we ons bedankje aan hun geven, en kregen wij de patches van het park, waar we heel blij mee waren.

’s Avonds hebben we onze stagebegeleiders mee uit eten genomen als bedankje.

Zaterdag zijn we de hele dag druk bezig met opruimen, inpakken en schoonmaken. Dit, zodat we zondagochtend de trein kunnen nemen richting Boekarest. Na onze traumatische Roemeense treinervaring, hoop ik zeer zeker dat we deze keer wél op bestemming aankomen. In Boekarest spenderen we nog een paar dagen, voordat we woensdagmiddag eindelijk naar huis vliegen.

Chol vs. Tri

Shao Fei vs. Zhao Zi

Yu Hao (HIStory CTL) vs. Zhen Wen (CTL)

Yi Chen (Obsessed) vs. Zhen Xuan (WBL)

Goodluck!

King vs. Pun

I am going with King because... because King. Because he's soft and nosy and adorable and he's got just the right balance of uke energy and extrovert energy and I love him for it.

Mon vs. Meen

Did you see Mon's teddy bear? Mon is the ultimate uke. He has medals to being an uke. Like, Meen is adorable and all but Mon? Mon has taken first prize by miles.

Pi vs. Duen

Uh. Uhhhhh. Do I have to chose? Going with Duen because, frankly, Pi doesn't have a lot of uke energy for me. Not a negative, fyi. He's just kind of... middle roads for me. Yeah, he's supposed to be a tsundere uke. But I feel like he could go either way with his tsundereness.

Tine vs. Chon

Dude, Chon had to win this. He's out! He knows what he wants! And he wants to be an uke, 100%. No questions.

Jin vs. Arthit

Whyyyyy. They exude such similar energy and I love them both and I don't know how to choooooose. I think I have to go with Arthit because Arthit feels more... gentle and soft than Jin does. Might that change? Yes. But I think Jin is more playboy than Arthit's awkward shyness.

Kao (DBK) vs. Third

Third is like Mon. He's got medals in ukeness. Every tear is an award. Kao's got a bit going for him but nothing compared to Third. Third is ultimate.

Knock vs. Bunn

They're both vers. No one wins because neither one is an uke. They're both characters that could go either way with their partners and we're very proud of them for that.

Pao vs. Ake

I'm going to go Pao for for a strong reason but because he's just a little softer and a little gentler, especially as Pae with his glasses? Yeah. Yeah, he gets a tiny leg up.

Sun vs. Puth

Sun is the seme so Puth wins this one. Although I would definitely lean towards Puth being a bit more vers than straight (lol) up uke he's closer than Sun imo.

Mes vs. Adachi

Adachi always wiiiins. Like, I'm sorry, he always wins. But in this case he's also much shyer and softer than Mes and definitely gets taken care of more, which I consider to be part of the uke characterization. Being taken of is very important.

Boss vs. Mark (En of Love)

Gotta go Boss because... he's so soft. And little. And adorable and clingy. Mark is also pretty uke, no denials, but he's just not quite... what Boss is. The little bit of uke energy that Boss has, Mark lacks a little bit.

Bar vs. Pra-Ram (En of Love)

Yeah, Bar wins this. Not least because Tossara is basically my favorite show ever and the scene where Bar leans over Gun in bed and whispers about missing him sings in my heart at all times. But also because Bar sits in Gun's lap SO happily and Pra-Ram strikes me as less... soft, clingy uke and more brat uke? And I like the soft-clingy more.

Wad vs. Day (SOTUS S)

Despite Wad's unfinished story (sadness) I am going to give this to him over Day. Now that's partially because when I watched SOTUS S I only half-watched the Day storyline and I should probably give him another chance... but for now, I give it to Wad because he was tsundere and he deserved an actual storyline and I miss him.

Wayo (2moons) vs. Wayu (Gen Y)

Yu wins out of sheer desperation. Like, at least Yo functioned as a person. Yu just absolutely fell apart and basically didn't exist as a person any longer after Pha broke up with him. And that's the most uke thing anyone can do!

Kit (2moons) vs. Beam

I'm gonna give this to Beam because it's Kit from 2moons and NOT 2moons2. Kit from 2moons2 would win this over Beam but Beam wins over Kit from 2moons. Beam is the headstrong uke and he's a very good example of one, honestly.

Kit (Gen Y) vs. Ray (Close Friend)

As much as I adore Kit in Gen Y, I think Ray has more uke energy than him. They're both definitely ukes, no denials. But Ray just has that desperate, slightly needy, slightly clingy energy to him that I associate with ukes that Kit doesn't really have.

Zon vs. Mekhin (Close Friend)

I gotta give this to Zon. Zon is so puppy-uke it almost hurts sometimes. He's adorable and tiny and so, so bouncy but also so, so needy and I just... he's up there with Third and Mon in terms of ultimate uke.

Typhoon (Close Friend) vs. Pharm

Pharm wins. I feel worse for Typhoon because I kind of hated that his feelings were entirely disregarded but... Pharm is still just an absolute uke at heart and soul. He just wants to be take care of and loved and held and he might be strong but he needs space to be weak as well and he's just the best.

Team vs. In

Love Team, seriously do! But In is the ultimate cheeky uke and he's adorable about it and I love him so much. In wins just about everything, he's another one of my favorite characters.

Gene vs. Tian

This was an immensely painful choice. But I had to go with Gene. I feel like Tian and Phupha had such a strong and non stereotypical relationship that I just want to give it to Gene, who's definitely got more uke energy than Tian did. Yes, Tian needed more care... but Gene had more of the needy energy to him. It's hard to define but that's the best I can do.

Muren vs. ShuYi

AUGHH. What an impossible choice! They're both the good kind of uke that I adore and I just... look, I haven't done this before but this is a tied win. They both win. There are no losers. They're both fantastic ukes for their semes.

ShiGu vs. XingSi

Cheeky uke for the win! XingSi rules from the bottom and he gets this award 100%. YongJie had no idea what he was getting into with this boy and he learned fast.

Fiat vs. Moo Joom

I cannot pick Moo Joom because he is literally a cat. Fiat is also just a great needy, clingy, desperate little uke no denials so I do adore him. But also... cat.

Two vs. Chon

I'm going with Chon. Two doesn't lack uke energy but Chon has it in abundance.

Type (2gether) vs. Ni

I'm going with Type just because I feel like AiNi is a totally equal relationship with give/take and not really an ukeseme dynamic where Man and Type definitely had more of that energy. Especially with Type and Man wanting to take care of him and Type obviously wanting to be taken care of.

KiWan (Ryu's Wedding) vs. SangHa (Mr. Heart)

Sangha, yo. Cheeky, needy uke energy all wrapped up in a bright eyed puppy? Yes please.

Yeon Woo (Color Rush) vs. Tae Joo (Eyes Linger)

Yeon Woo just so perfectly into that. Tae Joo is close, no denials, but Color Rush feels much more old-school yaoi than WYEL ever did so I gotta give it to them. Yeon Woo just has that need to be cared for and that absolutely all-encompassing need to be with Yoo Han that pushes him into the win.

Karl (GSP) vs. Cairo (Gameboys)

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOSE? Ughhh. I'm going Cairo because I have to. I have to. I can't choose Karl because I love him but he's just not the uke energy all over the way Cairo has. Love them both, though, so much.

Sky (My Day) vs. Phai (Gen Y)

The belt around the wrists wins this for Sky, no hesitation. That make out scene wins EVERYTHING. Also, he's just got that right uke energy without it being overwhelming the way it is with Mon and Pharm and such. It's a bit lighter but still very much there.

Blue vs. Tutor

Tutor is a vers. Tutor is not an uke. So Blue gets this regardless. But he's also an uke and adorable and I with they'd do a side story show with his plot that got ruined by COVID because I wanna know how it ended.

Pete (LBC) vs. Can

Pete is another gold medal uke. Like, just look at the boy! Gold medals all around. He's up in the winner's circle, beloved by all. Can can't come close. Sorry, Can, love you.

Hin (Chance to Love) vs. Book (MIR)

This was another closer one. But I really think Book is slightly more uke than Hin was. Now, very minorly. They've both got that needy energy and that softness and everything. But Book just nudges it over the edge a biiit more than Hin does.

Sheng Zhe (Right or Wrong) vs. Zhi Gang (MODC)

MY BABY BOY. Yeah, Sheng Zhe has to win this on the basis of him being MY BABY and one of my favorite characters. But also his softness, his caring, his cooking, his love of children... he's just so cute and so sweet.

Chol vs. Tri

Hey! Tri is a seme for the twins! So Chol wins instantly. Also, Chol's entire character is tsundere uke turned puppy uke and there is nothing else to him so... he wins?

Shao Fei vs. Zhao Zi

Ugh, another hard one. But, yes, I'm going with ZZ on this because we're specifically looking at uke energy and ZZ just radiates that. He's soft and small and the sad hugging scenes are SO GOOD.

Yu Hao (HIStory CTL) vs. Zhen Wen (CTL)

Gotta go with Yu Hao on this one. The way he looks over the volleyball when they're studying? He wins. That single look beats out almost anything.

Yi Chen (Obsessed) vs. Zhen Xuan (WBL)

Have y'all looked at Yi Chen? He's ultimate uke. He tries to avoid love at all costs and still instantly just turns into this tiny caretaking uke when he's given a chance. Plus, when he had glasses in his first life? TINIEST BOY EVER.
