Neo is too good for this show. This man's expressions are so perfectly on point it almost hurts. I love him and he deserves the best shows.

so you're telling me that jack is besties with boston and used to hang out with top, before he met mew and stopped being a fuckboy, and im supposed to believe he's a totally normal guy? yeah, sure

Boston heard there was carsex at the function, so he had to pull up

the boston i know would never confess that easily that he and tua aren't dating

the boston i know would've dicked tua down so good he temporarily forgot arnold's name and then would've rubbed it in arnold's face with his iconic smirk

even if he didn't fuck tua, he certainly would pretend he had with great gusto

One thing I don't like about OFDO is the romanticization of using the crowd to manipulate someone into getting a yes. (Arnold's grand apology, and Raffy's bf-proposal). I mean, I know this sin has been committed by many Thai BLs since time immemorial, buuut. They went out of their way to show that these characters have some moral integrity at the end of all their arcs, yk?

It's the major thing holding Dean's character arc together. As for Raffy, they made sure to redeem him in Dean's eyes. Hell, they even did it for Boston.

So I feel like that was the angle the writers chose when they approached this work—that these people aren't perfect, but they grow into people that feel morally... resolved. For lack of a better term. (Upright sure as hell ain't it.)

And so in a work that chose that angle, I can't help but point out the glaring contradiction in including these... public-proposal scenes, and framing them as something that isn't coercive or manipulative. Two cents.

I think intimate and private would have been a better fit with their messaging, and also a better fit for the tone of the Only Friends franchise altogether.

SEATED.

Kiss them all and leave them in your dust!

They really had Boston come in and be the voice of reason? I mean... he was always right in the first season (about other people's relationships and only that) but he was also messy and we needed that.

I do kind of respect him getting some character growth at least. I guess? But I need chaos Boston, damnit!
