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.
