Tin foil hat theorising time!
My bestie was like what if it’s a twin situation for Kaye? And Kaye is in on it?
What if the person who was in Phat’s apartment is not Kaye but his twin sibling who IS in fact, Nekros?
The way he was curiously looking at Phat cooking or the way he was way too nonchalant during the Kitti and Phat showdown was sus.
Yeah, yeah too many loopholes in this theory.
yep. totally normal.
Allegedly a Bromance, your honor!
tbh i haven't watched road to splendor at all -- nor do i plan to -- and thus have zero context and yet! i am rooting for madam yu! even though i think she may be a villain? my condolences on your son's stupidity, maam. if you invented the car to hit him with it i'd still cheer for you.
Yes, my Madam Yu propaganda is succeeding!
She is totally an antagonist but I don't even care. She deserves to scheme all she wants with that useless son.
He's being stupid as I write this and Madam Yu had to send him to his room like a child
I’m bit behind on episode 16 and still catching up but the moment that manchild comes on screen my blood pressure rises.
How can some be so dumb? And that too being a scholar.
Madam Yu deserves all the good things in life despite her wrongdoings
knowing you have work tomorrow is such an affliction like im literally afflicted
How did I give birth to such a useless unfilial son? An investigation by Madam Yu
I used to be mad at Madam Yu. Then I thought maybe she does deserve some evil time because she has such useless son and even useless daughter in law.
After this episode I have a few theories
Kaye may be schizophrenic (mirror scene) and someone is messing with his medication (so those aren't anxiety pills like he said, maybe he doesn't know or he does but won't tell)
If he is and he doesn't know, the confusion he is feeling right now is understandable and so the real murderer can play with his mind easily
Phat knows because he found out thanks to the medication but won't tell Kaye because he is trying to protect him, he is too sure about the fact that Kaye is being framed
Or Kaye is bipolar and every time he doesn't take those pills the other one (yak or asura whatever they could be called) comes out and murders people
If this one is true and Phat knows so it's why he keeps on saying it isn't Kaye because he is technically another person in those moments so Phat isn't wrong
Or Phat knows but he wants to put down all the ones involved in the Thai invested case, maybe he is actually helping the other person 👀 it makes sense even because in this scene, the way Kaye asks Phat if he is in fact the murderer, his tone is actually accusatory, like he is subtly saying "you know I'm the murderer behind all this and still you're denying it to my face?!"
We'll know once the next and last episode is out next week, I guess 🤷🏻
fixating on games is like “oh boy! i haven’t played this in months!” and then you end up playing 60+ hours and never touch it again until the cycle starts up again
Me but with like Hay Day
it’s okay if your future goals are like “still be alive then” and “find happiness” and “have a will to live”
Theory time!
This episode made me a bit more sus of Nop, even though he was barely in it.
Because I very much believe there is a cop involved. And considering Phat's motivation and timeline in becoming a cop, it wouldn't be surprising if another child hurt by the huge scandal also ended up becoming a cop - but maybe with slightly different motivation.
(Also with Kim dying, that strongly indicates someone who has access on the inside, so whether it's Nop or not, I'm putting money on a cop).
But back to my point, Nop did something a bit strange this episode, which was call his suspended boss to come to the crime scene.
Now it could have just been a "we need our main characters to witness this for story reasons". But so far what we've been seeing in this story has been more thought out than that.
This is a major crime scene where you would 100% expect the new man in charge to show up and chase Phat away - and he did.
So why did Nop want Phat there in the first place? What did he need to see in person that he couldn't read in a report afterwards? Wouldn't Nop have the wherewithal to know it could look bad for Phat depending on who came? Phat's already slipping in his emotional control, he publicly attacked a reporter who baited him, and the new boss has already shown a propensity for poking at Phat.
Of course, if Phat has actually proven himself effective at getting close, that's one way to make sure he keeps in trouble and off the case.
But also! Stay with me here - there's clearly an admiration for Kaye's work throughout these crimes. There's a deep attention to detail. You could say it's an attempt to frame him, but if that was the case they could try to lure him close to the scene of a murder as it's happening. For a frame up job, they really don't seem to care where Kaye is or what he's doing. This reads much more as appreciation.
Kaye essentially masterminded these crimes, just in fictional form. And Kim was clearly worshipful of him because of that. Because he took their pain and formed a plan for revenge out of it.
What if Kim wasn't the only one. What if Nop wanted Kaye to come to the crime scene, to see how perfectly he had enacted the scene? To see all the little details, to appreciate how masterfully yet another piece of revenge had been completed?
All that to say, current theory - Nop is our top killer. I don't think Thun is involved in the killing, but I am currently theorizing that Nop is an informant for him, and using him (without Thun fully realizing it) to provoke Phat and lead Kaye where he wants him.

so, it took three cops to pull phat off thun when he was beating the hell out of him but kaye was able to hold him back and get him to calm down. okay
Power of Bromance?
The reason your snacks are unsatisfying is that you need both carb and protein.
Carb starts your engine, protein keeps it going.
No carb, engine don’t start. No protein, engine dies out fast.
Easy carb add on:
Cookie
Fruit (canned or fresh)
Chips
Piece of bread
Popcorn
Crackers
Easy protein add on:
Nuts
Spoonful of nut butter
Cheese
Roasted chickpea snacks
Glass of milk (dairy or non dairy)
Small canned sausages or similar
Sugar in there.
I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.
Something, something Payback is an allegory to the classist nature of revenge.
Like how poverty deprived Sun the resources for vengeance unless he made extreme decisions that often leave no regards to his dignity or life.
While Jay got to check all the boxes in his list of a successful revenge because he can. The money and influence delivered what he needed to devise a plan in an instant. It flew him across the world, bought him pawns, provided him protection, and equipped him with the necessary education—
Jay was born to win and succeed; Sun was just born. He had to survive and do labor.
Something, something Payback is an allegory to how karma can be bought if it's the rich and powerful Jay. But Sun can only wait.
In the end, Sun's revenge wasn't even his. It was collateral from Jay's successful retribution.
The tragic part? Sun knew from the start.
Day 218/365 of listing something good I saw today:
It's finally starting to be nice, reasonable temperatures outside. Summer is coming to an end.
Well I found it on August 6th and really loved the idea. Thanks @homunculus-argument
Day 1/365 of listing something good that happened today:
I had a good nap.
christian bad driver: my guardian angel watches over me, I don't need to look before I merge
atheist bad driver: I will rely on my own skill to see myself safely home after a mere 8 drinks
agnostic bad driver: no one knows where all these dents and scratches came from
It’s true

AITA for accusing my crush of being a serial killer and "living in the past" even though the entire time I've been following him, I knew my dad ruined his life?
Okay, I know the title is a mess, but I'm currently suspended from my job, so I can't ask my coworkers who are also my only friends. I (late-20ish M) am a police officer, or at least I will be when the suspension is lifted. My family has a . . . complicated history. My father is a former police officer who went down for hiding evidence. He ruined a lot of people's lives.
One of those people was my crush's dad. Kay (late-20ish M) and I have been working together on a case which his work inspired. We've been inseparable, mostly because I've handcuffed myself to him. But even before I forced him to work with me, I had a crush on him. The kind of crush where you just have to know where they are at all times for their own safety. Obviously.
I've also known that after my dad ruined everyone's lives, Kay's dad tried to commit suicide after killing his mother and trying to kill him as well (he survived but is in a bad shape), and their family lost everything. But I never mentioned that to him. Why would I? It would have made things awkward, and I wanted him to like me, not see me as the son of the man who destroyed his childhood. Besides, that was the past. We were working on the present.
Fast forward to now. Because of Kay, we caught the killer. We did it together. It was beautiful. But then I found out from one of my police buddies (who shouldn't even be talking to me because I'm suspended) that Kay went with my sister to go visit the killer. Without me. In prison. Just the two of them.
Because of that, I accused Kay of actually being the killer. I'm not jealous that he talked to another man or that my sister seems to like him more. That's ridiculous. I just think it's odd that Kay would go without me unless he was hiding something, because I'm always with him for everything, all the time, since I never let him out of my sight. It's called being thorough. If he went to see the killer without me, that means he has secrets. And if he has secrets, he could be the killer. Simple logic.
Then the news broke. Some annoying ass reporter who is doing the most dug up my father's old case and splashed it all over the evening broadcast. My face was everywhere. The headline read: "DISGRACED OFFICER'S SON NOW WORKING HIGH-PROFILE CASE." I didn't even get a warning.
Kay showed up at my house that night, furious. His eyes were red. He demanded to know why I never told him who my father was. He said I had time to come clean, that I watched him struggle, that I knew what my family did to his, and I just let him work beside me like nothing happened.
I panicked. I deflected. I brought up his sick dad. He completely snapped. He said, "How do you know about my dad? I never told you that." And I realized I slipped. I have been quietly observing him all the time from a normal distance without his knowledge. Just keeping tabs. That's not stalking, that's caring. But he didn't see it that way.
So I told him to quit living in the past. I can't remember exactly what I said, but it was close to "Your trauma isn't my fault. My dad is the one who did those things, not me. I've moved on. You should too. You can't keep dragging me down because of something that happened before we even met."
He just stared at me and shook his head.
I was just trying to solve the case and protect the people I care about. If he had just told me he was visiting the killer, none of this would have happened. So, AITA for accusing him of being the killer and telling him to move on, even though I've known about his trauma the whole time and have been quietly watching him for months?
TL;DR: I (cop) have a crush on Kay (civilian). We caught a killer together. He visited the killer without me, so I accused him of being the actual murderer. When he got mad at me for never telling him my dad ruined his family, I brought up his dad's suicide attempt and told him to stop living in the past. He called me a stalker. I think I'm just protective. AITA?
Top Comment - Verdict: YTA
Phat, my guy. You need to hear this, and you need to hear it loud and clear.
You are not the victim here. You are the red flag.
Let's break this down because you are doing some incredible mental gymnastics to justify behavior that would make any rational person run for the hills.
"We've been inseparable, mostly because I've handcuffed myself to him." — That's not a meet-cute. That's a kidnapping with extra steps. You literally restrained him to force proximity. That's not romance. That's a crime, and as a cop you should know that, but from your response to other commenters (about BREAKING IN TO HIS APARTMENT), I see your desire to be a "good cop" is not going well.
"I've just been quietly observing him all the time from a normal distance without his knowledge." — There is no such thing as "normal distance" when the other person doesn't know you're there. That's the definition of stalking. You know his father's medical history, his schedule, his movements, and you never told him who you really are. That's not protection. That's surveillance.
"I accused him of being the killer because he went somewhere without me." — You didn't have evidence. You had jealousy. You felt entitled to his time, his location, and his secrets, and when he helped YOUR sister, you punished him by trying to brand him a murderer. That is controlling and frankly terrifying.
"I told him to quit living in the past." — This is the cruelest part. You are a man who has been actively living in his past. You knew his connection to your father. You inserted yourself into his life knowing exactly what your family took from him. You never gave him the chance to decide if he wanted to work with you because you withheld the truth. Then, when he rightfully gets upset, you weaponize his family tragedy against him and tell him to get over it? While you're literally accusing him of murder?
You don't have a crush, Phat. You have an obsession, and you just gaslit a trauma survivor into thinking he was the unreasonable one for being upset that his self-appointed handler has been cataloging his every move for months.
Kay isn't the killer.
But if he were, you'd be his first victim, and honestly? The self-defense plea would write itself.
Go to therapy! Stay away from Kay. And for the love of everything, uncuff yourself.
Verdict: YTA. Also, please seek professional help.
This is gold.
This is just me being naively hopeful, but I pray that this Grammy debacle will get through HYBE and VP Kim's heads that no matter how much english they encourage BTS to write in their albums, the grammys and the white western dominated industry will NEVER accept them with the way things are. No matter how "globally relatable" they try to make them, they will always find a way to keep them and other artists out. The goal post will consistently move.
Let them use as much korean or English as they please. Let them BE THEM. Because catering to the enemy never works, even if they sign record deals and partner companies. They will always eventually push you off the cliff too.
