I wonder if the series is going to more actively explore Thee's mafia side, and i don't mean in the super rich and threatening way where he shows up guns blazing with karate moves, but more of all the sad and scary parts

Like, now we got more on Peach's backstory and his history with domestic violence and parental abuse, and aside from that we repeatedly keep getting moments of Peach feeling empathy for Thee whenever Thee expresses his loneliness or pain of being part of a crime family, right? but we never get too deep into that

being born into a crime family doesn't probably just mean being unable to get out of this business and being isolated because how dangerous it is, but Thee has probably been exposed to extreme violence as a young child, like think about it, a young child in a mafia family as probably experienced attempted kidnapping/murder, has seen people get tortured, has BEEN tortured himself, and etc. it also reminds me of what Thee said in ep4 "What makes you think I don't take orders too?" or somn like that which makes me think he's probably seen and done quite horrible things... i wonder if they'll also unpack his (very probable) trauma

i know me and thee isn't really gonna be a SERIOUS mafia show, but i wonder if they'll show a bit of that serious side so we further connect Peach and Thee as 2 characters that come from different backgrounds but have very similar wounds and to make it more meaningful when we see them heal each other

(i type this all as i should be studying for my final exam, im in this ppw shit FOR LIFEEEE)

what i can't stop thinking about is the line 'if there's something you want to know, you ask me'.

i believe ray was ready to put all his cards out on the table. he'd already opened up about his mum, the drinking, boy was ready to answer. but sand, baby, i know you're all up in your head about what boston said and now you think you're nothing special to ray, but sweetheart, you could have just asked, ray was right there, laying it all out for you, boy was wide open and you chose to make assumptions and wallow in them instead.

i feel for him, i really do, (and seeing first in pain always hurts the most) but ray has been pretty open through this enitre thing they have. sand needs to be willing to open up a little bit more now too.

ep3 really gave me whiplash, i completely forgot that kang had crazy anger issues and the great capability for violence until 3/4 where kang saw sailom being grabbed by a stranger, looking uncomfortable, and doesn't even ask what's going on first, he straight up chooses violence immediately (i mean good choice, but goddamn)

[themalcman]

GUYS LET ME SPECULATE PLEASE

ok so when kang and sailom are talking about math, we all know they're not REALLY talking about math right? or if they are, then its a deep-seated metaphor for how they feel about each other

so anyways, when sailom asked kang if he's starting to like math now, kang straight up says yes despite hating it before

evidently, that is for sure a metaphor for how kang is starting to have feelings for sailom now, if the minute long still frames of kang and sailom staring into each others eyes with romantic music in the bg was not enough of a hint obviously

but next, kang asks sailom if he likes math, and sailom straight up goes "i used to, but not so much now" and then doesn't explain why

now im pretty sure that, after seeing the scene that played after the credits that sailom liked or had a crush on kang back when they were in elementary

and obviously this line alludes to how (possibly) sailom used to like kang BEFORE but because of how kangs whole demeanor and attitude has changed with bullying, he doesn't have feelings like before

anw i just needed to get that off my chest bc i really didnt understand the line while watching ep3 1/4 but when i finished 4/4 like everything clicked

[themalcman]

i think that ray leaving sand to go help out his drunk friend with no place to crash is a good call back to what happened in ep1 where no one helped ray get home while he was wasted off his ass (with mew and boston off somewhere with hook-ups even if maybe they didn't go all the way yk ansdlfkj)

i mean, mew wasnt in a worse situation than ray since he was technically at home already, but he had no place to crash and ray would immediately do that for this friend, but no one (except for sand) helped him that way in ep1 (not to be too harsh to his friends yk, i just thought it was an interesting call back)

anw i get why sand is upset but i personally just dont think its such a big deal, sand was already at his dorm anyways, he just didn't get railed that night, ray didn't put him in any danger by leaving him

personally, i too would leave a hook-up i (assumingly) met a few weeks ago to go help out my close friend of a few years yk (assuming mew and ray have known each other since first year in uni)

regardless, i cant wait for ep4 to show us how ray tries to get sand back :))

[themalcman]

guys can someone help, i need someone to make/send me a spotify playlist with the soundtrack of only friends im begging

its only been ep1 but the SONGS ARE FIRE AND I CANT FIND THEM

PLS HELP IM GOING CRAZY

[themalcman]

pat is so that boyfriend that would show up to a spiderman movie in the cinema’s wearing a spiderman suit and everything

and pran is the boyfriend who says “i dont know him” wen they’re buying the drinks and stuff before entering to watch

[themalcman]

ok but

i need to know what pran has experienced that he can say this ANSDFLKJ p’aof pls give us the scenes :’))

[themalcman]

LOOK AT HIS ARMS, WHY WUD U WANT HIM TO PUT HIS SHIRT ON FIRST, PRAN PLS JUST ANGLKASJDF

[themalcman]

idk if im overthinking or wat but I love how pran says “Put your shirt on, you’re making everyone drool.” instead of “You’re making people drool.” because the word everyone includes pran himself NALDKJF

[themalcman]

Maybe you just feel attracted to both of them in the pic 😅

...i-

me: 0

anon: 1

[themalcman]

What even is bisexual energy... I’m bisexual and i just exist :x you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking

honestly idk :'D i feel like its the same thing wen the fandom went crazy over pat's outfit in the freshy contest calling it "the gayest fit i've ever seen" and such nasldkfj but tbh i really dont know im like running on 3 hrs of sleep, bad buddy thoughts, 2 papers i need to finish in 2 days and 5 additional projects im spear heading ansldkjf sorry if it sounded offensive or weird

[themalcman]

ya’ll wai scares me sm bc i have no idea what he’s gonna do. like i’ve seen some theories of him only doing that emotional manipulation to pran in ep7 to push pran back into music?? but then p’aof also has said that wai is not a good person in one of his posts right? and im so scared bc i have no idea what he’s gonna do, like- is he going to be the one to tell pran’s mom about the relationship? bc if so then i dont know what warranted that part in the opening theme of bad buddy that has the shot of all the friend groups mixed up together while they walk so... p’aof im ready for you to blow my mind

[themalcman]

is it just me or does that scene with paa and pat in ep 7 (1/4) radiate such insane bisexual vibes like-

idk maybe its the way they sit together here??? and the fact that they’re trying to figure out if paa’s mentor is a boy or a girl?? just- the clothes they wear too and the way they speak to each other, its truly just ✨bi siblings✨

(hopefully nobody takes this the wrong way im not trying to stereotype bisexuality, my gaydar is just going off and idk why it is)

[themalcman]

PAT MY BELOVED

ok so we’ve heard multiple times in the show abt pat’s failed love life attempts, c/o paa for all the “oh you mean the girl who used you for...etc.” yk wat i mean

and it’s now just hitting me that pat’s love language is acts of service, which MEANS that yea duh hes gonna do so many things for the person he likes, so yea it really wouldn’t surprise me if he’s been taken advantage of in relationships a lot

and how it must’ve hurt to have seen pran basically give up the bet just bc he needs pat to be an actor in the play, and then rather get yelled at by the director than admit his feelings in public (which is valid of pran but also still ouch)

and then showing up later to help pran bc he cares more abt pran than being used and is also too kind for his own good.

so yea... i think this will come up in future eps

[themalcman]

look- all i’m saying is, if no one makes a bad buddy edit/fmv to “everything has changed” by Swift & Ed Sheeran OR True Love by P!nk, im going to go believe that i accidentally got transported into a parallel dimension

[jiminieejamzz]

Here’s a thought. Maybe Pat is just going easy on Pran because he didn’t know his boundaries. He’s being careful because he doesn’t want to push him away. But now that he knows SUCKING FINGERS is on the table, things are about to get real up in here. Pat is gonna step up his game.

I WILL NOT SURVIVE EP 7.
