sorry your mom died. also sorry i don’t look hot as fuck right now, i usually do but my boyfriend dumped me and i went on a bender. it was a whole thing. anyways, here’s my card—

[distant-screaming]

'Alan finding out Gaipa used to like Jim is so much angst potential and -' yeah yeah, you know what else it is? Hilarious. Imagine Alan, The Ultimate #Girlfail Husband, and his reaction to finding out that Jim REJECTED Gaipa. He'd be like 'are you insane??? What is wrong with you? Who - why would anyone reject Gaipa. Ever. I - hello??'

And tbh he's so right for that

I really love Alan's pen as one of the main metaphors for how ready he is to start moving on and how he's feeling about the person across from him because it's such a little thing but it's also so big becasue Jim nearly walks away with it but Gaipa rushes back to put it in his hand and the first time Alan is across from Jim in the coldest blue but he's across from Gaipa in lighter colors and he even smiles.

(Also, this boy cannot separate work and personal at all between telling Jim to go elsewhere and getting Gaipa's chat ID. Oh, Alan.)

About to start Moonlight Chicken for FirstKhao, so - wish me luck or don't - imma enjoy it anyway!

[spokenfromtheheartandsoul]

I was nervous about how Moonlight Chicken was going to handle the whole Alan-meets-Gaipa situation, because as much as I love the natural onscreen chemistry First and Khao have with one another with them being best friends in real life, Alan and Gaipa’s characters are a whole other story. They’d both gone through so much pain and upheaval in the last few episodes. The two of them deserved to be more than just be two random loose ends in a story that got paired up with one another for the sake of tying things up neatly. 

But I’m actually so pleasantly surprised with how the show chose to maneuver it! Starting by first giving the both of them time and space to grieve, and to move forward with their lives on their own. Gaipa to grieve the loss of his mother, and also to make peace with Jim being happy with Wen. Alan to finally come to terms with the loss of a long-term relationship and to begin his own grieving process by letting go, leaving his and Wen’s pictures behind when he moves out, and deciding to “walk on his own” again. 

And then, we are slowly introduced to the possibility of something new for the both Alan and Gaipa. I appreciate that the show doesn’t immediately throw the two of them into a new relationship and tie it up with a bow, but instead we get little hints that gives these characters room to breathe. 

Gaipa and Alan are still working through their own things, but that doesn’t mean they don’t get to have those small subtle moments that come along with having a newfound crush: the instinctive smiling at one another, the silly excuses just to talk to one another and run into one another, the secret fond glances when the other person isn’t looking. It’s cute! It’s sweet! And honestly, the two of them really do deserve cute and sweet after everything they’ve gone through (Gaipa in particular - that boy has my whole heart and I would give him the world if I could.)

Anyway tl;dr, I’m very soft for the way Moonlight Chicken introduced the Alan x Gaipa concept. Two people who are still healing but get to have a hopeful ending with hints at new beginnings, all while still being surrounded by the people who have cared for them, and always will care for them no matter what, because that is what it means to be a part of a community.

"you're the only friend i need" dynamics>>>>>>>

team gets nightmares so win holds him through them; win gets scared of horror movies so team lets him hide behind him when they watch one

gun is afraid of disappointing others so chinzhilla makes him feel appreciated; chinzhilla is about to disband every 2 days so gun makes them believe in themselves

gaipa has been chasing a guy for a long time so alan chases him in turn; alan has been having problems with people taking his pen so gaipa makes him like it when they do (lmao)

palm is in love so mam tattoos nueng's name on him; mam regrets not being there for palm when he was a kid so palm is there for mam

pran's face gets dusty so pat cleans it with micellar water; pat can't be trusted in a kitchen so pran makes him breakfast

So, I woke up (2AM in my side of the world) to this email:

I was excited to purchase this boxset until I realised that GMMTV's shipping price is almost the same as the freaking boxset 😅😅😅😅.

Whatever. I'm still buying it 😂😂😂😂
