Ring Theory Continued: Episode 7

Ep 3 Ep 4 Ep 5 Ep 6

Short ring theory summary -> Right hand = power game; Left hand = personal game. Second finger is love/protection of a loved one. Third finger is good/neutral (or at least pretending to be). Fourth finger is no bueno. Pinkie is Chakri 🥰/support.

This week was VERY interesting for ring tracking in The Next Prince. There was a lot to track with several new players to the game.

In disappointing news...our coach Joe? Doesn't wear a ring.

So does that mean the ring theory has collapsed? Or does it mean that he wasn't actually behind the poisoning?

Hard to say. We know he was put in place by Prince Rachata. That man's ring has never changed (right hand, fourth finger). He's always been in it for the power, and he's not hiding any of his negative energy.

But his personal butler has a personal agenda based on love (left hand, second finger)? Shocking I dare say.

Joe is definitely suspicious and booked it after the poisoning happened. But it's pretty hard to keep tabs on a prince you killed.

And we already know there are consequences when a prince comes to harm in your care. He'd have a good reason to run scared.

Hmm. Something to think about. Anyways, Prince Tharin's ring hasn't changed. He still has a personal game supporting Khanin.

There are other suspicious people around...like the King's butler. He also wears his ring on his fourth finger. Is that because he has his own agenda? Or because he's supporting the King's evil plans?

Also hard to say. The King definitely has his own evil agenda still.

But seemed rather remorseful about Khanin's poisoning. His ring may have been there, but his sleeves ALMOST covered it up whereas butler's stayed in full view.

Who do I not suspect? Ramil. He may not sound too distraught.

But both him and Paytai are still ringless. They're being honest with each other at least. I do think Ramil would take it as a personal insult if Khanin bowed out by dying. He wants to beat Khanin himself.

In other news, Chakri was fully back in his support role this episode. His ring flashed SO MANY times. We've never had as many good looks at Chakri's ring as we did this episode. He was the MVP supporting Khanin in every way possible, and Khanin is back to appreciating that support.

The one exception? When Chakri walked in ringless on the kiss at the beginning. Khanin wasn't seeing that as very supportive at all.

I might've wished that Charan would have worn a ring when he went to confront Joe, but he stayed ringless as always. Ever sincere and open in his intentions. I do find it interesting that he's one of the only guards that doesn't wear gloves.

Khanin is always ringless when alone with Charan.

But Khanin does still play the game at some points. Both when he confronted the King directly...

And tried to figure out ways around the system, his ring switched to the right hand. He had good intentions and was trying to push for power at that point.

But by later in the episode, he was back to it being personal (left hand).

He had accepted that he had no power in this situation. "I've never had this feeling before."

Khanin, I'm sure Ramil and Ava could've clued you in on that.

Speaking of Ava, she popped off and was very blunt with her dad while wearing gloves that only partially covered her hands and were made of leather.

But she was back to covering her hands when she went to check on Khanin and accepted that she wasn't really allowed to be there.

The interesting thing to me? Her companion wears a ring. ON HER THUMB. What does that mean? Because it means she's serving a different role than we've seen before, and it's a power game.

As for our final royal... Prince Calvin wore his rings the same as last episode.

He has a personal game of love (with Jay) and he has a power game that seems to be for the good.

And Jay? Well, he decided to wear two rings on the right hand. One on his second finger and one on his middle. But...I still haven't figured out why he has power.

Is he a hidden heir to the blue shark kingdom? Is he the "power of the people"? Because we do know that he's actively involved in protests. I kind of like the latter idea.

But I'm not sure. Especially because between coffee and passing out the sandwiches, he decided to shift his game...and wear both rings on the same finger.

And he maintains that placement into the next meal too. Is he just shifty and not to be trusted?

I still don't trust the shark clan, and Jay is very much a part of that clan. Plus, why was he in this city? Which friend did he go to see?

Perhaps, if he is helping the shark clan's agenda, he really thinks he is doing good but will realize later that it's not as good as it appears? Maybe he will later switch allegiance because of Calvin.

Or could this indicate shifting priorities? Focusing more on love than the good of the people?

Hmm...let me go ponder.

Look at them!! A pink princess and her swashbuckling bodyguard??

Well, I finally watched the TNP finale and found it as largely forgettable as the rest of the show :/

I knew they were not gonna properly deal with what they had set up between Ramil and Paytai in the last episode, but I didn’t think it would be this much of an afterthought. If they were gonna resolve it so quickly and with almost no build up, it would’ve been so much more interesting (and dramatic!) to have Ramil’s breaking point be refusing to step on Paytai rather than losing Paytai.

This reunion didn’t feel earned. We could’ve seen Ramil go through it. Losing his mind with grief and with missing Paytai. We could’ve seen Paytai missing Ramil and struggling to stay away because his love for him didn’t just disappear. It’s not like they ran out of time, the finale was 1h30 and included a bunch of filler. We didn’t need the “Charan can’t say he loves Khanin because apparently dicking him down is ok but the L word is inappropriate” fake out. I personally did not need a 20 minute nc followed by a 10 minute kiss scene. That time could’ve been used to properly tie together the Ramil/Paytai storyline and to give queen of our hearts Ava more screentime. She looked SO HOT in that pink outfit, lounging on the couch! That was the time to have Mira swoop in and kiss her! Show us that they’ve secretly been together this whole time! Come on now!

[humanfleshdoll]

could they be a couple in dmd upcoming gl.. is it a spoiler

[multi-babii]

finally watched the next prince final episode and i'm so disappointed there was no ava and mira scene despite all the other couples getting a closure.

for a show that was trying to tackle how misogyny is still a pressing issue in society, this decision was the best demonstration of the fact. truly disappointing

[littleblackraincloudofcourse]

the next prince needs to fix what's been broken before it ends

both them and my heart

and although they're not broken, for all ava (and us) pointlessly went through, she and mira deserve a happy ending
