running away together is one of my favorite tropes for queer coming of age, no natter how cliche (yet criminally underused) it is. im so glad tanrak and barth were not villianized for choosing themselves and were still able to foster their own unique connections with their religion.

[flootweed]

barth is such a perfect depiction of someone who is no longer religious but has loved ones that still are religious... trying to toe the line of pushing against their belief system while not being overtly disrespectful... accepting "pray for you"s bc, while it does nothing for you, it makes the other person feel good

Finally continuing Your Sky because of Duang With You for Ghlaijai and Punlee's little story~

Qin held Duang when he cried so he could find it in himself to cry in his arms as well.

Episode 11 + soft, casual intimacy because they’re so in love it’s second nature

[heretherebedork]

Duang is what happens when an undiagnosed autistic child is loved and accepted exactly as he is and supported by his family in everything he does including quit and never had to truly, deeply, innatrely mask. Qin is an undiagnosed autistic child who was neglected and ignored and unsupported who found that masking was the only way to survive and is only just starting to realize that he's been wearing a mask for most of his life to try and survive.

And when Duang meets Qin's parents and realize how little they know about their son he makes so many connections and when Qin meets Duang's parents and realizes how much they accept and love their son he makes just as many.

Together, they bring out the best in each other and prove that love and acceptance and patience are the truest super powers.

Just Qin taking Duang exactly where he wants him to be.

my niche version of "he would not fucking say that" is "he would not fucking carry that baby to term" for mpreg headcanons. sometimes there is power in recognizing that a fictional man WOULD get a mabortion

[heretherebedork]

I love that Duang and Qin are autistic for autistic but opposite ends of the spectrum romance because it's perfect. Duang thinks outloud, takes everyone literally and at face value, doesn't read into anything, constantly moves and stims, big emotion is a big reaction and has absolutely never even heard of a poker face let alone had one. Qin internalizes everything, rarely expresses anything on his face, takes time to process everything silently, gets frustrated by big emotions, prefers solitude and silence, constantly self-isolating to soothe himself, slow to use words to express himself. They're just perfect together because they form such an amazing balance of love and respect and understanding. Because Duang might be an overenthusiastic puppy but he's also too much of a literal thinker to break a specifically requested boundary while also being too literal to be driven away by anything less and Qin is a tsundere because he takes so much time to process his own emotions but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel them just that he needs 1-2 business days to face them. It's perfect.

Animism in Khemjira the Series and Sinners (2025)

One of Khemjira screenwriters Jattawa quoted a tweet talk about Khemjira and they raised some interesting points, including Sinners (2025), that I would love to share with everyone!

All translation errors are mine. Not a native Thai speaker. 🙏

◉ OP โซบะเย็น @.In_beninging tweeted:

"Love that when Khemjira talks about folk beliefs, its attitude is paying respect and understanding that those are a part of the local people there.

It’s aware that it’s an outsider, looking in with the non-judgemental eyes and did not treat the beliefs in it as something different. We can see the people, forest and spirits living together there. Fucking good!

(Type while watching the “soul (khwan) calling” scene)"

◉ Jattawa retweeted with quotes:

"The thing that makes the fantasy in the Khemjira’s world different from other fantasy movies is (if not talking in a matter-of-fact way that because it comes from real-life cultures) animism of the people who were erased, abandoned by the mainstream narrative, were finally given a voice.

Similar to the animism in Sinners of African Americans, but in Khemjira, it is the Isan people. Will probably not be bold enough to claim that the series is exactly on the same level as Sinners (because that film fully re-claimed the black power by black people, in every detail) but speaking of the way animism is used as a tool conflicting with the ‘scientism’, which comes from Western white people’s influence that ‘animism’ turns into uncivilized thing.

The most perfect example of the cohabitation of people and supernatural things in Isan in Thai media is probably comes from Apichatpong, who often talk about people chatting with ghosts, tiger spirits, tree deities, other ‘strange’ things by a normal tone as if something that can be met all the time."

(Embedded a cut of the movie “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives” by Apichatpong Weerasethakul from MUBI UK & Ireland via Twitter)

"*Addition* All animism of black people and Isan people in mainstream media is mostly mysterious and dangerous (people afraid of the word ‘voodoo’, afraid of being cursed). But all animism in Sinners is all-around and is used to protect people in the community (black people/ Isan people) rather than make the people in the community seem dangerous (‘voodoo’ of black people, calling the soul (khwan) of Isan people etc.)"
