wixxiws: Jack's snap in Rome

[jae-hwa6]

The quick foreshadowing to Tua going scorched earth tickles me. According to Jack, Tua was furious over Dean wearing Tua's clothes without asking. It stands to reason that Tua would absolutely go ballistic over Dean and Arnold appearing to be intimate outside the confines of the play and the couples content.

This is hilarious.

Additionally, gonna need Arnold to find some brain cells. Do not tell the angry guy you just started dating that your weren't sure what you were feeling in that moment was because of the play or something else. That is a statement for after he cools down, and does not have access to scissors.

Dean....I'm sorry girl, but it was not smart to keep that from Jack and Tua. Could have avoided all this had yall just told them.

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.

If delusion was confidence, Raffy would be unstoppable 🤝 if toxic had a LinkedIn profile, Dean would endorsed it.

I know I went into this show knowing JackDean were a toxic relationship, I know not wanting to leave despite EVERYTHING is a standard for toxic relationships, but still....

I wish Dean had chosen Gameplay. I wish this show made a point about choosing the ones who love us.

I wish the writing was better.

last week, jack stopped rehearsal because raffy didn't display enough love in his eyes but this week jack refuses to stop rehearsal after his costume designer storms on stage to accuse the leads, their boyfriends, of cheating? make it make sense.
