#thct predictions

Tonhon doesn’t know he’s gay because he’s defined the very concept of gay as ‘other’. Gay to Tonhon means ‘not me’. It means ‘not my friends’. It means ‘someone I don’t know and don’t like’.

I mean, this is not a man who engages in self-reflection or introspection or thinks deeply about anything. He’s following his father’s example because, let’s be honest, he’s never had a reason not to in his mind.

Tonhon doesn’t think about how feels about Chon because it would never occur to him to think about it! He doesn’t think about being gay or wanting to touch him because why would he think about that?

It’s also why he overlooks everything about Ai and Ni. Because they’re not Other. They’re his friends and thus they’re not gay. Obviously. He’s so dense because of all that internalized homophobia which has resulted in his othering all gay people as... well, ‘not his friends/himself/people he likes’.

My prediction is that Chon gets outed in the scene from the preview where he kisses a sleeping Ton. Ton flips and Ai and Ni end up outting themselves (might just be Ni outting them with Ai getting upset, possibly) and that’s going to set off an entire lifetime of self-reflection for Ton.

... I can’t wait.

Predictions for Tonhon Chonlatee:

The absolute 100% antics continue for another episode or two with a few bits of seriousness inbetween.

Then we start to see more serious moments. More of them, more commonly, likely starting with Chon and moving to Tonhon then Ai and Ni.

Somewhere around episode 6-7, we’ll start to see a bit of a flip. More serious, less antics. This is also the point where they’ll start pushing Ton’s emotions with Chon and the beginning of his actual realization/denial of what’s happening.

By episode 9-10, the antics will basically have disappeared/been relegated to moments in the backgrounds. This is when Ton will realize what’s going on truly. We may get some cute, romantic moments in this as well, depending on how this goes. But this is also the Danger Zone.

And by the end we’ll be bawling.

My predictions for THCT’s pacing was a bit off but not super bad! Next episode is DEFINITELY the turn into more serious stuff as well as Ai and Ni’s attempts to get Chon and Ton together. I mean, yes, it’s obvious. But it’s good timing as well. 

I am now getting more worried about Amp’s part in everything, though. Yes, she’s the faen fatal. Obviously. But I’m a biiit worried about some more malicious stuff coming from here. Here for it, but worried!

I also really, really hope that Ai and Ni get some slightly more serious scenes. They’ll never have as many as Ton and Chon will, I’m sure, but the scene in the car with their serious faces on was fantastic and I’d love to see these chaotic gay himbos switch their energy a bit.
