here’s the entire bus scene, for the one who asked

[si-ji]

can we talk about how tender leviticus was despite being a horror film? like yes the homophobia the isolation the haunting of the entity itself were all terrifying and the fear naim and ryan were feeling throughout the film was extremely palpable, but i feel like there was also this steady stream of tenderness bolstering it all?

it's in ryan's protectiveness towards naim that shines through even when he's hurt himself, it's in the way naim lets his guard down with the entity because he wants to be seen and to be loved in a town where nobody seems to (not even his mother), it's in the way ryan tells naim "it will never be me" but still makes sure he gets home safe, and then the way he looks so relieved when he realised it's the real naim (his naim) at the bus stop when he was ready to just leave town all alone---which, might i add, was probably an idea that naim gave him in the first place.

these two boys' love for each other makes me sick and i want nothing but the best for them.

ryan loves using terms of endearment on naim, calls him baby, sweetheart, babe, love, never raises his voice at naim even when they fight but also never says i love you because he's terrified of things becoming too real.

naim never calls ryan anything other than his name (and the occasional dick, cunt, asshole but he never means it), but he's the first to say i love you between the two of them, because he's brave like that.

ryan is the more protective one out of them two, but naim is brave enough for the both of them when it comes down to things like that.

maybe a hot take but when ryanaim argue ryan is def a silent treatment type of guy and naim is the one that yells. pulling from the crumbs of verbal conflict they have in the film, naim's reaction after the funnel web spider joke is pretty telling abt his character. he doesn't pout and leave, he advances angrily and yells "fuck you, you cunt" trying to start a physical fight he knows he won't win. naim's knee jerk reaction to being made fun of/being mad is to yell and swear and shove.

comparing this to ryan's emotions after finding out naim outed him (even though ofc these scenes aren't rllyyy comparable but yk. crumbs) the fact that when he says "naim what the fuck is she talking about" he's still not really raising his voice… even after getting beat up he still saves naim, drives him home safe. in the car he's quiet, voice tight and measured more so bc he's on the verge of angry tears rather than yelling at him. so yeah, post-canon ryanaim def argue but i think ryan is the type to storm out/go completely silent and ignore naim and naim is the one yelling and saying things he doesn't mean in the heat of the moment. ryan's anger makes him passive, naim's makes him destructive.

i think this carries over to their conflict resolution as well. ryan is the type to let things blow over with time and not talk about it, while naim craves verbal reconcilation once he's processed. i think in the early stages of their relationship this itself becomes it's own area of conflict--ryan dismissing naim's earnest attempts to reconcile as stupid and how he's "already over it so why are you bringing it up again", and naim taking that as a rejection. but over the years they learn eachother's needs and figure out a way to meet in the middle.

Yeah nah Ryan Whelan is not winning any argument in that relationship, is he?
