hazer hazards

I was writing a thing about SOTUS and it tried to autocorrect "hazers" to "hazards". Which is not NOT wrong - both Arthit and Kongpob pose hazards to each other's hearts.

Arthit gives Kongpob his SOTUS gear (aka his heart), symbolising his acceptance of their new relationship.

Kong is a doting boyfriend and wants to duck out of hazer duty to spend time with his boyfie (final ep of season 1).

Sotus Rec List (1)

Just finished watching the Sotus universe again (link here for the Discord server for the watchparty, Sotus will definitely come around again) and I've been meaning to make a rec list.

This isn't a full list, there are so many fics I want to put on here and I was trying not to make it 30 fics long so this actually got posted at some point (Sotus will be rewatched in the future and I shall add to this!). I also avoided adding the same author twice.

His mouth hurts because of Arthit. He can't stop thinking that.

Under the guise of kindness, Head Hazer Arthit ruins Kongpob’s lovely dinner with spicy chillies and orders him to eat it all. Kongpob has a lot of complicated feelings about the situation.

An episode three, season one tag.

in brief, i love you by itsmylifekay

Arthit is just living life, wearing underwear, and Kongpob has a lot of feelings about it.

"Kongpob's chest is frozen, lungs stalled out on an intake of breath as he takes in the bare expanse of Arthit’s shoulders and chest, the smooth slope down to his waistband and the very unfamiliar block of color peeking out from above his gym shorts."

Seven Months and Four Days by Kiranokira

It's their bridge.

When they climb out of the taxi, Kong’s smile reaches his eyes. “Phi,” he says, “if you’re hungry, we didn’t have to come all the way out here.” Arthit gives him a sarcastic smile. “It’s adorable how you think you’re funny,” he tells him.

the Story of True love (already) between US by EquinoxSolstice

The first serious discussion they ever had as a couple was if they should just share a room off-campus for Kongpob’s first year in SSU as an engineering student.

(In which Kongpob and Arthit met much earlier, fell in love with each other much sooner, and now had to navigate through Kong's first year in SSU, appearing as senior and junior on the surface, while keeping their closer, more intimate relationship under wraps.) Having a Cat with You by lightly_lightly

Kongphob falls sick. Arthit takes care of him.

love makes you blind (literally) by nuandia

One of the servers has been so kind and brought Kongphob and Arthit a towel. Kongphob gently places it on P'Arthit's head and then scrunches his hair dry. For a quick moment it looks like P'Arthit is going to lean back, but then he halts in the movement and lets Kongphob rub his hair dry. While May can't see P'Arthit's face, she can see Kongphob's. The absolute adoration she detects in his features is almost enough to overwhelm her. There has been no moment he had ever looked at her even close to this. She can almost hear his voice in her head as he apologises for not reciprocating her feelings and admitting that he likes someone else instead.

Or, Five times Kongphob and Arthit try to hide their relationship and one time they aren't (not like everyone doesn't already know)

Wife by MeatOfTheBone

“Kongpop, your wife looks jealous,” “Yeah Kongpob, is your wife not satisfied with you?”   Arthit sneered. Recalling the comments had flipped a switch in him. He wanted nothing more now than to bite and mark Kongpob, take him roughly so every time he tried to walk or sit tomorrow, he would remember who the wife was.

Something Different by doctorbeam

Prem shook out his hand as he walked towards the pharmacy. It still stung where he threw those punches at the cowards beating up his junior. His head was hurting and it seemed like every muscle in his body ached; he was grateful for those guards that came to break up the fight because he didn't know how much longer he could have used his body to shield Wad like he did.

a year in review by cosmiicashes

It hits Maprang then. Sitting in Tew’s dorm and eating now-cold noodles as they look up movie times. She’s never done this before - planned to see a movie with a boy without any expectation of more later. She’s with a boy who treats her the way May and Prae do. They’re friends. Real, proper friends.

Or, Maprang and Tew's friendship starts with a YouTube channel. Ask me, I won't say no, how could I? by pomidor

Arthit remembers that it hasn't always been easy when Kongpob was studying in China, but sometimes problems lead to unforeseen improvements.

Something ever after

I was tagged by @emotionallychargedtowel who laid out a lot of beautiful observations for the game @my-rose-tinted-glasses started with this post, including a great summary of the themes @porridgefeast pointed out out in her response to this ask game.

Here are the criteria Rose gave herself, for anyone who wants to follow along. The central idea is "a list of couples that I think have what it takes to make it in the long run." She ruled out couples that are portrayed in high school exclusively, couples that have already stayed together for a long time (e.g. Shiro and Kenji from What Did You Eat Yesterday?), and couples who could only be argued to belong on this list with a lot of extensive headcanon type action.

I've happily seen all of the couples I'd personally pick for this game come through my dash already, so I'm gonna break the rules a bit for my own fun.

Instead of picking the couples who I think have what it takes, I'm going to pick couples who I think would give us a compelling series as an established couple. I'm thinking about how heart-wrenching ATOTS's Phupha and Tian's story was when we revisited it in Our Skyy. I'm thinking about the adjustment Kongpob and Arthit undergo as the power dynamics reverse in the adult world of SOTUS S. I'm thinking about the couples that we want to see living together and still working through personal struggles well into their 40s and 50s like Shiro and Kenji in What Did You Eat Yesterday? Forgive me for letting some high-schoolers into the proceedings who fit the mold. Because I want to know which couples years down the line will still have an interesting story left to tell?

Kongpob and Arthit from SOTUS

It feels ridiculous to say a pair that's already had an established-couple sequel series still has more gas in their tank, but so much was left beautifully open-ended in SOTUS S and their Our Skyy episode. Call up writer Bittersweet; there is a meet-the-family story primed and ready in there! We saw neither come out to their parents, and so much has changed culturally in Thailand since we last saw them. But does that mean Arthit's been able to accept that the culture's changed? Arthit's rampant anxiety and stubbornness in contrast with Kongpob's romantic idealism is just such rich storytelling fuel.

Kit and Shane from Boys in Love

This is a couple I think would struggle in fantastically compelling ways, but they are nothing if not committed to working, however slow, to stay with the routine of their comfort person. At the end of the series, Kit had just given up a huge academic opportunity, and Shane's entire future had fallen apart. They just had each other. I want to see them in college or as adults: Kit's impulsivity tempted in more ~adult~ scenarios; Shane's rigidity and parental traumas creeping up at the worst moments; both of these neurodivergent boyfriends discovering the new challenges of workplaces. They have so much left to still figure out, but I also believe they've found a rare home in each other that they would come back to at the end of their struggles.

Gu Hai and Bai Luo Yin from Addicted

Screw censorship. Gu Hai is never letting Bai Luo Yin go, whether the latter likes it or not. That's a fact. Luckily, under the grumpy face and internalized homophobia, Luoyin does like it. And with all the class and corruption issues tucked into that dynamic, it's gonna be one hell of a relationship (with some fantastic sex). The question is not whether they stay together, nor whether it would be an interesting story. I'd only be desperately wondering if they're navigating the provincial Chinese economy toward a happy-ending or deeper into the belly of the beast. Maybe I should read the web-novel to find out where it actually takes them?

Teh and Oh-aew from ITSAY

They're so fucked up, y'all. They're so fucked up. I want to watch them fight every day when they're married and then quasi-make up because they're stuck in how good the sheer intensity of it feels. Maybe one day Teh could get his BPD diagnosis and medication, and then I won't need to watch they're beautiful trainwreck of a relationship anymore. But until then, I would be happily plopping my lawn chair out to watch these two Phuket stars trapped in each others' orbit.

Ae and Pete from Love By Chance

This is my slice-of-life vote. These two characters are so deeply gentle. I want to watch them buy groceries. Together they'd find something to smile about in the basil. They could visit with each others' lovely families, have dinner with their ridiculous friends, and have average jobs that tire them out but make them feel fulfilled. Then, they could come home and lie on each other's shoulders. There'd be some steam in this slice-of-life, too, cuz Ae would still be going wide-eyed and hard over how soft Pete's cheeks and lips well beyond when they are old and wrinkled. I could weep for years over these two simply loving each other as they go about their days.

Anyone who hasn't done this already is welcome to join.
