Oh no, Ping and Tap are adorable and I already love them.

Ping is obviously pining after Tap longterm and I'm dying at that tiny rabbit shirt and the hedgehog shirt and the fact that he bought a towel just for him and the way he goes all soft and serious when Tap isn't looking only to turn on the goofiness again the instant he is.

The secret smile when he laid his head on Taps' shoulder.

I am lost. Gone. I love them. I will watch this entire show for them. Look at him. Look at that smile. dfjkdfgh LOST. @absolutebl the crumbs have captured me again.

I mean, they just have such MekBoss vibes.

FAHLANRUK EPISODE 11

[wanderlust-in-my-soul]

It's exhausting! For every step we take forward, we go back ten! At this point in the story, I really can't root for Fah and Sher any more. Prince is Sher's best friend, we already had that jealousy story last episode! I don't want to go back there. You're not just friends with benefits, we've already clarified and negated that several times now.

I was rooting for Tap and Ping to finally talk to each other...instead Tap goes back to (Girl whose name I've forgotten) and acts like there's something between them. At this point, I just hope Tap frees Ping from that car in the next episode so that the guy, who I find very creepy, can't take advantage of him. But the way the series has gone so far, he will turn around and leave Ping to his fate...

I'm only rooting for Prince and Gear from today on. They're cute! And Tar, he deserves happiness, he has to go through shit with Pink 😅

I love that we have collectively decided the PingTap is their ship name, when TapPing is right there 😂

omg that's hilarious 😂

and somehow I didn't even realize. usually I'll try out both versions of a ship name, if only in my head, but I guess I didn't for these two 🤦🏻‍♀️

HE SLEPT OUTSIDE HIS DORM.

Tap has is so badly for Ping but has no idea while Ping is drowning in loving him without any sight of the surface and Fah has the audacity to say that he should just 'tell him how he feels' hey, fucker, the guy you love still thinks you're FWB and you're an asshole.

Anyway.

It just gets MORE painful.

Because the honest answer is that Tap is not just the reason Ping is so heartbroken but also his best friend and his main support system and he's terrified of losing him and what can he do by try to be the friend he thinks he has to be? Because Tap is still showing all kinds of interest in Namwan instead of him and he doesn't want to compete. Ping doesn't want to be hurt or to hurt, he doesn't want to risk friendship on love because friendship feels safer but he is losing his friendship to love, whether he wants to or not.

His own heartbreak is pushing Tap away even though it's the last thing he wants to do... but he has to because he's trying to stop loving him and distance is the only solution.

So they're both alone and hurt and Ping is in love and Tap is figuring it out but also thinks Ping is in love with a girl (or maybe Fah or maybe Pai...) and just... oh, my aching heart full of pining and longing and Ping trying to shatter his own heart to choose friendship over love.

[heretherebedork]

They're like a renaissance painting, soft embraces and gentle care, two men in love but both keeping their secrets, their voices silent, their touch gentle and comforting but never what they truly want. They both love but they do not speak and so the distance between them cannot be crossed.

[heretherebedork]

Namwan is putting the dots together far, far faster than either Ping or Tap and it's pretty impressive honestly. She's no slouch.

[heretherebedork]

The absolutely impeccable vibes of the awkwardness, the mutual love but trying to deny it, the way Tap is realizing how in love he is and Ping has been trying to deny it for so long and that moment when their eyes meet and Ping can't even handle it. There is so much love but also so much fear. They're best friends, closer than anyone else, and the idea of loving someone that might not love you back the same way or that love might change your friendship.
