The Game Might be Over

I DID NOT WASTE 4 YEARS OF MY LIFE ON SHERLOCK, JUST TO BE TROLLED INTO WATCHING TFP TWICE IN A DAY!

[thefamousdetectivesherlockholmes]

Not one post-ep12 bottom!Pran fanfic to be found on ao3. I'm both proud and disappointed

[nongnoopran]

Pran, it’s not a porno!

[danmei-trash]

I thought that I'd cry after bad buddy would end (not because of the ending but like, because there's no patpran next week) but here I am smiling from ear to ear, giddy and jumping around everywhere because there is no way I could even be sad.

This is the power of this show

Just finished watching the finale and I wish I could articulate all my feelings towards Bad Buddy but I truly can’t. So I’ll just say that this show means so much to me. It’s definitely entered my top 5 shows of all time. My favorite show of 2021 for sure. I’m going to miss screaming about it every Friday. Nanon and Ohm did that and they’ll be a hard act to follow. And the writing? I mean good luck to the other BL writers from here on out. We gone be even more irritated about these tropes now that we know for sure these stories work without them.

so now that bad buddy is over I can definitively say that is the best show GMMTV has ever produced

P'Aof, knowing he did well 😅:

Did you read Nanon and Ohm’s letters they wrote. IM CRYINGGG. Their friendship is so beautiful and the way they both talk about it and especially Ohm had me crying so much

yep... yep... i read them... i cried a lot. a lot a lot.

honestly, as a fan, there's really nothing better than knowing that the people that made the thing you love love it just as much as you. im gonna get emo for a sec but i feel like the biggest thing i hate hearing around shows like this and people that are fans of them is why do you care so much??? its only a show. theyre not real. get over it. fandom spaces and the shows they're there for are so rarely taken seriously, and the affect they have on people is honestly so so underappreciated. and it can make you feel silly and stupid for caring so much and that sucks, bc you just wanna love the thing and be so deep and invested in it and ride that emotional rollercoaster for all its worth and just feel every second. and you should. thats good. youre doing it right.

so knowing that not just ohm and nanon, but all the other cast and crew, are right there with us. they put just as much love into this thing as we got out of it. and you can feel it in the show. feel the love and care and passion and attention. you can just feel that its something special. its not just some show to them. they out their hearts and souls into it. and thats how great media is made, with love.

and as for ohm and nanon, honestly, i just cant thank them enough. i think they have been so brave throughout this whole thing, not just in their portrays and how open and trusting they were with the roles, but to be so open and bold about their friendship in real life. not shy away from it or overexaggerate it. thats brave. i think back to ohm getting teary during that podcast and it gets me right in the core, bc to see them have such a strong bond, so strong that they put it out there for the world to see, knowing itll get judged and read into and misinterpreted, and they dont care. theyre gonna be honest with us bc they're honest with each other. theyve been through a lot and they know where they stand. i can see in what they say how transformative this show has been for them, that its had a profound affect on their lives and on them as people. and thats special and deserves to be shared and celebrated. when i first got into BL one of my nitpicks was there was never enough discussion like the discussions ohm and nanon have been able to have. so many interviews and such are surface level with fanservice for show and its just... i wanna hear about the actors, the show, their process, how they went about performing, their opinions on what happens. bc its so interesting, and they should be able to talk about that. and i get that not all leads are close or care incredibly about the show, but that just makes this all the more precious. two people that care immensely about each other and what they're doing. two people that can be easily and naturally affectionate and express their care outwardly without awkwardness or fear or reservation. two people with a commitment to their work and craft that have never once dismissed this show, this BL, as frivolous or dumb or a splash in the pan. they respected this show. they gave it everything just as they would with any other drama. and i am beyond grateful for that. im beyond grateful for them.

honestly i could go on forever about them. they are just one of the millions of things that have made this experience something else, something that i think can never be recaptured or repeated. im so grateful that they let us peek into their real life friendship bc its such an inspiring thing. just seeing people be like that makes me want to be a good person and care about the people around me and not feel dumb for having those feelings. its truly one of the most beautiful and honest and healthy relationships ive ever seen. and they're just gonna have a special place in my heart forever.

HOW DO PEOPLE MOVE ON FROM THIS???

[shortpplfedup]

PatPran are NOT hiding their relationship from their parents with a great effort anymore. Like they aren’t. They both got to their homes at the same time and Paa announced that Pran is back and Pat comes in right next moment. Pran comes back and Pat’s no name friend comes back from abroad with a present. The singing LOUD in Pran’s room. They aren’t bothered. Now it will only be brought up when the parents are ready to let them know that they accept their relationship

Exactly this, they AREN'T hiding from the parents. Maybe they were while they were in school (debatable) but they definitely aren't now and haven't been for some time. It's the openest secret but literally everybody is just waiting for Ming and Dissaya to get over it and even Ming and Dissaya know that.

episode 12 thesis statement was “don’t let the world change you, prioritize love and happiness with the people who care about you, don’t make yourself responsible for other people’s issues, when you choose to rise above toxicity other people will be forced to elevate themselves to meet you,                      and also Pran is a horny motherfucker good luck out there”

[bevioletskies]

pat & pran + favorite parallels (in no particular order)

“This guy with the fierce eyes is Pat. He’s born to be my rival.” “This guy with the dimples is Pran. I was forbidden from being friends with him.” “True, but we weren’t exactly obedient kids. Unknowingly, from two people who couldn’t be friends, we became two people who were more than friends.”

[watching part 3] im so glad they didn’t break up, but it’s a shame that they didn’t feel able to be open about their relationship or tell any of their old friends abou— it was a weird sex game wasn’t it 😑

Bad Buddy Ep 12

That last scene sums up Pat & Pran. They are competitive to the end and I absolutely love it. It’s a healthy competition filled with joy, laughter, and sexiness.

Episode 12 had me ready to cry in the beginning and then when P’Aof laughed at us enough and switched to showing they never broke up 😳 P’Aof is a mad misdirection genius. Like WTF! I was ready to be all in my feelings.

Bad Buddy has ruined me for any future BLs series. I don’t know how you can top that but will love to see the challenge.

I laughed so hard at “5mins Pat” My Patie Poo missed his baby and got too excited…LOL!

BB showcased sexiness on a whole new level for me. I swear it was like being voyeur. P’Aof did an amazing job showcasing what’s so sexy about intimacy when it is portrayed through the lens of what could be considered a a great representation of a real-life couple. And that to me is why I absolutely adore BB.

So to sum up Ep 12. We were duped, they are madly in love, they said🖕🏽what our parents think, Pran likes rough sex and Pat is a 5 min man….LOL!

So farewell BB! Thanks for the laughs, the tears and giving us PatxPran ❤️
