Opp and Nutt are single-handedly keeping my little IntouchDaisy heart alive. I love their relationship so much!!!! They’re so supportive of each other and I wish I could see them act together again.

The things that make me love SCOY are the things I don't see anywhere else.

It's the double queer friend groups who are both supportive and both loving and both speak in actions and in words to make sure their friends are doing what they want.

It's Toh's desperation for anything because he doesn't see himself as capable of getting more being treated as both creepy and endearing, as something that he shouldn't do but is also the only way he feels capable of connecting with Nuea.

It's Nuea's need to be closer to Toh and willingness to put himself into awkward situations while still wanting to be sure, his willingness to do all the most obvious things just go gauge his interest.

It's Daisy and their brilliant outfits and their feminine mannerisms and their constant jokes about getting all the boys being treated as something endearing and positive, where everyone gets the joke and they're not making anyone uncomfortable because they all understand and it's just friendship everywhere.

It's Sky encouraging Jao to eat, bringing him food constantly, despite Jao asking him for help losing weight because Sky loves Jao exactly as he is but, more importantly, loves Jao healthy and waits outside his apartment to be sure he goes to bed safely and the light goes out, of course he isn't going to let him starve himself.

It's Jao's insecurity being a barrier to their relationship but being one that's understood, that feeling of inadequacy covered up by shyness and discomfort and rejection slowly being worn away by unrelenting love.

It's Som's love of her fellow girls, her love and her support of everyone around her exactly as they are, knowing who they are and knowing that she cares about them deeply and how much she loves everyone.

It's Touch who starts off as an almost-rival until it's clear that he's not interested in Toh but wants to see them happy in the hopes of getting his own happy ending.

It's the engineers chasing the com arts majors with joy and dedication and kindness and humor and adoration writ across their chest and hearts in their eyes.

It's the way jealousy is treated as something in the way of love, something to avoid, something that hurts a relationship and makes it harder to find love.

It's the friendship and the queerness and the love and the understanding and the growth and the kindness and it's all come together into this cringey, over the top comedy fest that works despite the fact that it really, really shouldn't.

no intouchdaisy interaction? daisy crying? daisy trying to be mainly so she could appease to touch's friends? nuea staying quiet with the instagram pic? SO NO INTOUCHDAISY??

THAT ENTIRE PART 4/4 SURE WAS SOMETHING HUH

tho that said, i did actually like it even if it was painful to watch. scoy has always been way more about The Queer Experience over like, shipping and the way they handled daisy trying to grapple with trying to fit in a gender box to appease the boy she likes (even tho he never asked her to do so) was really nice. ESPECIALLY the way the core four handled it -- their unwavering support combined with their questions of is this what daisy wants or is this what daisy thinks she has to do?

i mean, who of us who aren't in the cis heteronormative mold haven't had an experience where it's like -- should i pretend to fit that box so i can make friends easier/find a romantic partner easier/whatever the hell that just boils down to some sort of acceptance? this was daisy having that crisis in reaction to meeting a boy she really, really, really likes. i think the lack of intouch this episode was on purpose bc he's never shown to be interested in daisy being anything but herself. this was daisy's crisis to work through, she didn't need a man to tell her she was okay as who she was, she needed her friends to do that. her family. which they did, very passionately. they took care of her like she needed in that moment! daisy's "i'm so exhausted" was really everything to me.

as for nuea not reacting to the instagram hate, i think this is going to be a similar plot we've seen elsewhere where for nuea, he doesn't see it as a threat bc it isn't a big deal to him. he's always been talked about online, that's just his norm. he probably expected his fans to hate toh, same way toh expected them to hate him. (which is probs why he's always like i like you, trust that i like you and i will always like you.) he's probably in for an empathy wake up call next episode when he actually SEES toh and realizes how this is making him feel, when toh has never been in the spotlight before unlike nuea.

either way, my faith isn't shaken in this show at all. i really liked this episode and i liked this direction for conflict bc it's still really baked into the overall message of queer acceptance that this show keeps beating the drum of.
