I have made the fatal mistake of having whump expectations for IFYLITA. I cannot take this idea out of my head, because of the angst and the intensity! and the emotions!
I know I should let it go. I should drop it! *drama* BUT! Imagine, dear friends. Just imagine, that with this whole talk about whipping and punishments and stuff could be kind of a build up, for the inevitable heart breaking moment where something happens! and Jom MUST be punished (like the dad or Robert being like "I must ensure my authority! By the power of violence!"). And Yai tries but he just cannot do anything to stop it. And so Jom gets whipped in a scene that makes you hold your breath because it's so unfair and cruel. And then it's over. But Jom is, alas, forever scarred with this abuse. And we get Yai or Ming taking care of his wounds (so many scenarios are popping in my head for this xD). And so now he has to carry this with him and it just hurts everybody.
BUT THEN!! THE T W I S T!!!!!!
(I have no idea how the whole time traveling thing works so don't mind me) Jom gets pulled back to the future! And the ONLY THING that he can take with him as proof of his time in the past, of the love he shared with Yai in the past, are THE SCARS. FOREVER MARKED ON HIS SKIN. THE ONLY THING THAT HE CAN KEEP TO FEEL CLOSE TO YAI AND KEEP IT CLOSE.
And so the symbol of unjustice and unfairness becomes a memento of his love. AND AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. JUST THINKING ABOUT IT DRIVES ME INSANE. It's not everyday we get the potential for proper high stakes angst/whump in thai BL, and I need it.
Ok so, this is something I am having more and more the need to see happen. The possibilities aren't low enough for me to let it go. And I needed to put it somewhere. This has been my clowning of the day.
