The Destiel Folder: Season 8
[Season 4; Season 5; Season 6; Season 7]
Oooohhh this is where things start getting JUICY
Episode 1:
Again, Dean copes with the idea of Cas not being there by lying to himself
Parallel from S6: Dean behaves exactly like he was while looking for Lisa and Ben, looking for Cas. "Where's the angel!" (16:57)
Dean clearly states he won't leave PurGAYtory without Cas (22:45)
Episode 2:
Since Dean has come back, he has been snappy with Sam and Crowley about Cas, but every time he remembers PurGAYtory, he is either looking for Cas or with him, and that's all he thinks of
Again with the paraparallels with Lisa and Ben (12:21), also "You'll find your angel there." (13:19) ICWAW, come on, do I have to point that out?
"There are some in Heaven who still believe, despite his mistakes, that Castiel's heart was always in the right place [...] I think... too much heart was always Castiel's problem." (22:25) Samandriel says all of this while looking directly at Dean
Look at that hug. Have we ever seen Dean hug Cas before? The gring on Dean's face. [This is so fucking funny too me, the "Nice peach fuzz" reaction to Cas' beard VS the Sam's "That's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen!" reaction in season 14] (23:21)
"I prayed to you, Cas, every night!" (24:37) Cas once again chose to leave/hurt Dean in order to protect him, even tho he really doesn't want to leave him. "There've been things hunting me. [...] I've a price on my head and I've been trying to stay one step ahead of them to... to keep them away from you." (24:54) Those fucking eyes kill me
Dean is willing to risk it all to get Cas out with him. "Cas, buddy... I need you." [yeah, let's see how well that ages on episode 17], also the little "Dean... " after that... BABIES (25:33)
That smile, those eyes... LOOK AT HIM. This is such a "You and me against everything" moment that, ICWAW, would be considered HELLA ROMANTIC
"I'm not leaving here without you. Understand?" (25:51) for fucking finally, also 12 seconds of STARE + LICK of the LIPS action. Oooohhh ICWAW... just imagine
Let us remember that all of this ⬆️, Dean remembers after Samandriel told him "too much heart bla bla bla"
"... [Kevin] thinks people I don't need anymore, they end up dead." (40:36) 'you', Dean? Only you? That's so much guilt you are packing. And immediately after he thinks about trying to save Cas from PurGAYtory and failing... Alrighty then
Episode 5:
I get why some people ship Dean and Benny, but they really do struck me as a bromance. When they call each other "brother", I believe that. With Cas, Dean pulls the "brother card" whenever he's opening his heart to him, basically "no-homo"ing it at the end. Weird right? (12:03)
Benny bitches about Cas being a danger to them because of the attraction monsters have to him, and Cas himself tries convincing Dean he has to leave him behind for his own good, but Dean is having none of that shit and is ready to die trying to save him (12:56)
FUCK MY LIFE we are getting flashbacks from both Sam and Dean, Sam about the time he spent with Amelia, and Dean about looking for, finding and trying to save Cas. I MEAN??!!! ICWAW you BET this would be seen as a ROMANTIC PARALLEL
"He's a friend." "A friend? Dean, you don't have any- all your friends are dead." "That's not what I called to talk about!!" Ouch (25:27)
Episode 6:
"I was in Purgatory." "Like 'purgatory' Purgatory?" "No, the one in Miami." ... that's a gay bar, Dean, how would you know? (11:23)
Dean's lying to himself about Cas letting go (35:32)
Episode 7:
Parallel to S1 Sam seeing Jess while in the car (2:31). Kill me. Also Dean allucinates Cas just like Sam did with Jess (10:15) band tries coping with it by repeating to himself that he didn't leave Cas behind
Every scene in Purgatory where Cas tries to reassure Dean that, if he doesn't make it, it's just the way it is, and Dean insisting he won't leave without him. "I'm just saying... if it doesn't work.. Thank you. For everything." (12:50) I'm dying
Cas comes back and all Dean does for the first few moments is check him out (16:16-16:21) He says he kept trying to reach for the boys, but wasn't at full power, tho somehow Dean was the only one who could see him. And Dean's eyes looking back at Cas (17:58) End me now
FUCKING👏BONER👏SHIFT👏 (20:38)
LOOK AT HIM!! He's checking him out, making THAT face and SHIFTING IN HIS SEAT WHILE PRESSING A HAND TO HIS CROTCH. THAT'S A BONER SHIFT. Look at Sam and then at Dean (20:44) One is a friendly fond reaction, one ISN'T.
ICWAW, we wouldn't even be QUESTIONING it!
The amount of checking out in this episode is crazy. Look at Dean checking out Cas. Look at his face! THE EYES (24:08) ICWA- OH COME ON DO I HAVE TO POINT THAT OUT?!
"Did you not trust me?" "Dean..." "I did everything I could to get you out. Everything! ... I did not leave you." "... So you think this was your fault?" OH MY GOD SO FUCKING #MARRIED LOOK AT CAS' EYES (28:06) ICWA- I'm not even trying anymore
So many soft shoulder touches (34:42) also HOT SCENE I don't know why "I'm going in." "Cas, no. You're not strong enough." (35:15) precious babies
"You could've gotten yourself killed. Why didn't you wait for me?" "Well, I didn't get killed, and it worked." "And if it didn't?!" "It would have been my problem." "Well, it's not the way I see it!" (37:36) #MARRIED they're SO MARRIED
Dean keeps blaming himself for Cas not getting out "I don't need to feel like hell for failing you like I've failed every other godforsaken thing I care about." SEE??! (38:16) Dean preferred believing he had let Cas down, something he is used to, than he had sacrified himself for him (38:48). Dean can't believe Cas thought he deserved to stay in Purgatory. Also THE WAY THEY'RE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER (39:38) And Dean's deeply hurt by the fact that Cas would leave him to safety and remain in Purgatory as self punishment for what Dean had painted as all Cas' fault. And he is full of regret (41:30)
Episode 8:
[How fucking cute is it that Cas wants to become a hunter. I'M SQUEELING]
They are so #MARRIED my heart ACHES (5:02) and the way Dean looks at Cas is so fucking SOFT. And 6 seconds of just staring and... well, Cas in general (5:13)
"What? I was being bad cop." "No, you were being bad everything!" (9:12) #MARRIED (12:04) I'm dying, they're so cute
"I don't sleep." "Okay, well, I need my 4 hours, so-" "I'll watch over you *puppy eyes*" (12:52)
"Hey, can you lift this?" sure, Dean, every excuse is valid to have Cas be hot by effortlessly moving an anvil. And see how Cas looks at Dean, like "Really? You even had to ask? I'll fucking show you I can lift this shit". Look at how he looks back side-eyes at Dean here (14:16), like he's making sure Dean is watching him being hot. I'm dead
This is such a fucking sweet moment [I mean, kinda looked like the begging of a porn at first] (16:01). Dean can sense Cas is not okay, and gets him to open up about his feelings. And when Cas admits being suicidal, Dean is speechless, not even being able to imagine such an outcome. Anyway, it is so fucking sweet that they're always able to show themselves vulnerable to each other
Shut up. Look at this scene (18:51-18:53). Mute the video and just look. This is Sam marrying Cas and Dean. PERIODT.
"You're so pretty, Charles. [...] You were quite the bounder." DEAN'S FACE (20:27) He's so in love, and immediately after he LICKS HIS LIPS
While Sam talks about running away from your problems (referring to Amelia), and having to wake up in order not to destroy everything, the pan focuses on Cas (35:33) Subtext, gentlethem, subtext. CAS, FACE YOUR FEELINGS. SOON
Dean's face when Cas says he's not coming back with them (38:16-39:21)
Episode 10:
I now this scene is supposed to be funny, but the way Cas looks at Dean AAAWWW (6:53-7:01) Also do you really have to walk so close to Cas, Dean? Do you? While CHECKING HIM OUT nonetheless?! (7:54)
Remember when in 7x01 Dean was totally comfortable watching porn in front of his brother? Well, Dean goes on and on about Cas being a "brother", but his fucking reaction to Cas being in the same room as him with porn on his computer, is BY FAR the same he has with Sam, hell he even keeps watching with Sam! (8:05) Is it because the last time he, porn and Cas were in the same room, Cas popped a BONER?
Random guy @ Dean: "Are you serious?" Cas: "*leans in to look at Dean* That's his serious face, yes." And Dean's reaction (12:59) SO FUCKING #MARRIED
Dean, that's not the way you look at a friend, or a BROTHER (13:38)
LOOK!! I swear to GOD ICWAW that would be seen as nothing other than CHECKING OUT YOUR CRUSH
"Hey, how about we say, if this doesn't pan out, we had back to that beer and bacon happy hour a mile back, huh?" Translation: "Since I'm starting to realize I might feel something more for you, let me take you on what is totally not a date unless you want it to be" (16:58)
(24:02) #MARRIED
Dean, will you stop checking out Cas during missions? (25:06) Same goes for you, Cas, don't check if your husband's got a boner for you being the hero here (25:08)
Since the start of this season, we've been getting parallels between Sam & Amelia and Dean & Cas. The flashbacks, the guilt for leaving the other half behind, and now Dean tells Sam he's jealous he got a chance at being happy with Amelia (37:32)!!! I MEAN- and fuck my life when I tell you there are parallels with the whole Sam-Amelia-Don & Cas-Dean-Benny thing. I'M TELLING YOU
Episode 11:
"Trust me, this life... you can't afford attachments. You just gotta... let go." "... Are we still talking about Sam, or did you break up with someone too?" (21:17) CHARLIE KNOWS. TELL HIM CHARLIE
Episode 13:
Bitch... Dean's reaction to getting publicly hit on by a dude, so not the one a straight guy, confident in his sexuality and masculinity, "no-homo bro" would have (15:36). Just saying, we have seen Dean turn down what he thought were avances, and other implications regarding his sexuality, with either sarcasm/humor or anger... this is new. Progress?! [Wait till we get to 15x7]
Episode 16:
[Keep in mind how Dean's bedroom looks. Trust me]
Episode 17: OOOOHHH BOI
Cas has been tortured, mind-fucked, obligated to kill fake Deans over 1K times, in order to be ready to kill the real one. Let that sink in
Dean prayed to Cas, I'm sure almost every night, and can already sense something is not right with him ever since he came back from Purgatory (11:31), but when Sam questions his prayers to Cas, Dean doesn't know how to respond. Like, what, do I need a reason to try and contact my crush?
"There has to be another way. [...] This isn't right! [...] I won't hurt Dean!" (29:51-31:00) "Cas, fight this! This is not you! FIGHT IT!" and he does. Cas fights it. [and as soon as Cas starts fighting back, Heaven tints with BI COLOURS! LOOK AT THEM WINDOW THINGY (31:16) OF ALL COLOURS]
Dean is on the verge of tears, kneeling in front of Cas, telling him "This isn't you!", and to fight. He is pleading. And by the end, bloody, hopeless, "Cas... it's me! We're family. We need you... I need you." and Cas stops. (33:13)
Cas breaks the connection Naomi had installed in him. Once again, when presented with the choice, he chooses Dean over Heaven. All of this because Dean needed him. And let's not forget Dean was originally ment to say "I love you.", and that would've been the reason Cas snapped out of the control. I MEAN ICWAW THIS WOULD FUCKING BE CANON
Dean, thinking Cas is going to kill him, clutches onto the coat's sleeve for dear life, to the memory of his Cas (34:21) KILL ME
"What broke the connection?" The look in Cas' eyes... "I don't know." OH YES YOU DO (36:15) and Dean's face when Cas says he needs to protect the angel tablet. Dean knows he's gonna leave again (36:23). ICWAW, this whole scene would be the UMPTEENTH CONFESSION
Episode 18:
"I'm fine. Are you okay?" "Me?" "Yeah. Cass dinged you up pretty good." "... and?" "And I just wanted to make sure you're okay." "...What, like, my feelings?!" "If that's what you wanna talk about, sure." Dean gets pissy pretty easily when talking about Cas, who left once again, and his feelings. Also, Sam knows, and he ships it. He's president of the Destiel Company (4:02)
Episode 19:
The thing with the Deanny relationship is: Dean is naturally affectionate towards Sam, and he expresses the same towards Benny. His relationship with the both of them is very very similar, while see Dean showing affection towards Cas [same as he does with Sam] only during extreme emotional moments. Dean is known for repressing his feelings, and having a tendency to maintaining a "macho" exterior. He shows himself vulnerable in front of Cas, but not enough for him to think less of Dean. So, think about it
Episode 20:
Charlie, a lesbian, who has only ever heard of Castiel through Dean, describes him as seeming "dreamy" while talking to Dean... GAYDAR ANYONE??!!! (9:16)
Episode 21:
"In the words of a good friend... 'bite me'." Cas is quoting Dean, and if I remember correctly, Dean will quote Cas' "ass-butt" later on (16:"10)
Episode 22:
I hate when Dean treats Cas poorly, badly, because he can't deal with his feelings. In the heat of the moment, Dean is always forgiving, helpful and caring, but as soon As things cool down, he goes back to being cold, bitchy and snappy, like nothing ever happened. Repressed mother fucker
The small flash of hurt on Cas' face when Dean ignores his "Good morning" (3:33) fighting coupleTM. "Dean, I can go with you. *is ignored* Dean... I'm sorry. [LOOK AT THAT FACE]" "For what?" "For everything." "Everything? Like ignoring us?" #MARRIED
Cas is buying porn, beer and pie to make amends to Dean. "Where's the pie?" "I think we're out." "*grabs store clerk* You don't understand. I need pie!" (14:50) they are so fucking #MARRIED
Episode 23:
This is such a sweet moment. Cas is about to close the doors to his old home behind himself forever, while risking getting killed by his own kind, and Dean is worried about him. They are sharing drinks while longingly staring into each other's eyes. This is so sweet. Also, Dean warned Sam he might not be coming back. Why? Cuz he would probably die while trying to protect Cas from other angels. To them, they are probably spending their last moments together, while looking at each other like THAT (22:38) And 5 seconds of STARES (23:10)
In love. Fucking fools in love, that's what they are.
This is so stupid but they have just witnessed a cupid matching up two dudes, after all of the above⬆️ (23:53) AND IT'S JUST FUNNY!! Dean is stunned and all, while Cas is complitely fine and professional (24:04-24:17-24:21) DEAN'S FACE
"Talk first, stab later." (26:21) Cas is like "Bitch, you talking? That was our first date!" #MARRIED
[I'll just leave this here (37:00)]
Now shit's getting real
[Season 9>>]
Favorite Johnlock Fics (BBC Sherlock)
I went on a bit of a fic-reading spree this spring, and this list of favorites is the result! There are many other fics that I’ve enjoyed reading, but these are the ones that I’ve really loved for one reason or another.
I’ve tagged the authors whose tumblrs I could find. If that’s you, thank you so much for sharing your writing with us. If your work is on here, you wrote something that I really treasure.
1. A River Without Banks, by Chryse. E, 203,286 words. Starts right after Season 3. A mix of Sherlock’s perspective, John’s perspective, and the perspectives of other characters. Sherlock-focused for the first half.
Author’s summary: “‘You love this, being Sherlock Holmes.’ He had once. When had it all gone so wrong?”
This is my absolute favorite. The author’s characterization of Sherlock is amazingly accurate, and Sherlock’s character development over the course of the story is breathtakingly executed and moving. The plot is fantastic and takes you on a page-turning emotional roller coaster, especially for about the first half of the story. I was also continually impressed by how many details from the show and references to earlier parts of the fic the author was able to weave in throughout while still keeping the story creative and original. Most importantly, though, I love this fic for the message that it sends about Sherlock and John’s love, which is a far more positive message than the one that the actual show settled upon in the end. I’m grateful that we have this version of their love story, and, personally, I like to pretend that this was Season 4 and how the show ended.
2. Another Country, by Chryse. E, 67,414 words. Starts right after the end of TAB. Sherlock’s perspective.
Sherlock spends one month and three days under house arrest in 221B, trying to get clean from the drugs, track down the new Moriarty, and figure out what the hell is going on between him and John.
Another fantastic work by Chryse. This author really gets Sherlock’s character, and once again the characterization of Sherlock is spot-on and convincing. There are a few other elements that also make this a compelling story, including smart use of minor characters, a solid central mystery, and a complicated relationship between Sherlock and John that includes a pretty convincing post-Season-3 version of John. Excellent.
3. walk through ghosts, by @augustbird. M, 6,125 words. Written between Seasons 2 and 3. Sherlock’s perspective.
Author’s summary: “The thing is: Sherlock thought that the two of them would have forever to figure it out.”
This is the saddest fic I have ever read, and so beautifully written. The author captures Season 2 Sherlock’s character perfectly; the fact that this story feels so real is what makes it devastating. The day after I read this, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and walked around with my heart physically aching in my chest.
4. Nature and Nurture, by @earlgreytea68. M, 203,273 words. Set sometime after Season 2. Alternates between John’s and Sherlock’s perspectives, but mostly told from John’s.
The British government clones Sherlock. He and John decide to raise the baby.
A true fandom classic. The premise sounds super cracky, but somehow it really works. This fic is surprisingly serious at times, but overall it is the cutest and funniest thing I have ever read in my life. Basically 200,000+ words of Sherlock and John being adorable gay fathers together and working through some feelings, with line-by-line some of the most hilarious dialogue ever. The five accompanying ficlets that the author wrote as short follow-ups are also worth checking out; my favorites were School (T, 4,753 words) and The Radovljica Apicultural Museum (T, 4,540 words).
5. To a Friend Who Sent Me Roses, by @algyswinburne. E, 16,147 words. Set sometime after Season 4 (but ignores TFP, as we all should lol). Sherlock’s perspective.
Author’s summary: “Five times Sherlock is mistaken for John’s partner and Rosie’s father, and one time it isn’t a mistake.”
This fic is sad, sweet, and hot by turns. Absolutely lovely to read in so many ways, and with so many great details and lines. I think this story offers convincing portrayals of what Sherlock’s and John’s characters might be like after it all and how they might finally get together. This and A River Without Banks are my favorite alternate endings to the show. Beautiful!
6. for all that bitter delights will sour, by @darcylindbergh. E, 9,585 words. Set sometime after Season 3. Sherlock’s perspective.
John initiates a sexually and emotionally abusive relationship with Sherlock.
The second saddest fic I have read. I would never want what happens in this fic to happen to Sherlock and John, so I don’t exactly recommend it as a Johnlock fic. But as a short story, this is a gem, full of absolutely gorgeous and incredibly moving writing. It depicts difficult themes very deftly, in lines and paragraphs that I had to stop to read over and over. I appreciate this as an emotionally powerful and thought-provoking piece of writing inspired by Sherlock, so for that reason I think it deserves to be on this list.
7. The Ground Beneath Your Feet, by Chryse. E, 68,803 words. Set after Season 3, but as if the last two minutes of HLV never happened. “The plane went on to Eastern Europe, and this is what came after.” John’s perspective.
This fic is pretty dark; the author describes it as “a PTSD story in which John was wholly devoted to Sherlock.” I don’t love it quite as much as the other two fics by Chryse that I’ve listed here, but that’s mostly because those two are just so amazing! I still really enjoyed this one. It was wonderful to see a kind and caring version of John emerge out of Season 3, and the story had several memorable moments, including one particularly nail-biting scene. I also really liked seeing John and Mycroft become friends as they bonded over their shared concern for Sherlock.
8. The Adventures of a Single Girl in London (Plus a Consulting Detective), by @earlgreytea68. M, 32,913 words. Set soon after Season 3. Alternates between different characters’ perspectives.
Bored with life at her new cottage in Sussex, Janine returns to London and moves in with Sherlock at 221B. Hilarity, heartbreak, and eventual Johnlock ensue.
This is a Season 3 fix-it fic that features an absolutely lovely friendship between Sherlock and Janine and the best version of Janine that I’ve come across in a fic. Sherlock is vulnerable and sweet, John is an absolute idiot, Janine is perfect, and the last two chapters just make me scream. Great stuff.
And that’s it for now! If you know of any other fics that I might like based on the above, I’d be happy to hear about them, so drop me a line!
Happy reading 😊

A'right. I know no one needs this, but after spending a weekend watching old Supernatural and reading fandom posts…I have thoughts.
I think what s15xe18 (apparently) did to Dean and Castiel is…fitting. And it is a terrible embodiment of a horrible trope…that actually fits into the show universe in a nasty, twisty way.
I don’t mean this as a homophobic statement. It is a bit of a ride, though– and, obviously, spoilers past the cut.

BAD BUDDY FILMING LOCATIONS
This isn’t an analysis of any episode, but rather a list of (several, though not all) Bad Buddy filming locations, the result of some obsessive Internet sleuthing over the past week. It doesn’t really add much more detail to the narrative of the series, but it does give an idea of how challenging the filming process must have been for the Bad Buddy team. (Information cross-referenced from other websites and online maps is current as at 15 March 2022.)
First up is the legendary rooftop: Chana City Residence (829 Pracha Uthit Rd, Bangkok, visible on Google Street View using Google Maps).
The flat roof of this apartment building was the setting for many scenes that were key to the plot (including PatPran’s blind-date-gone-wrong at Ep.2 [2/4] 4.56; the Epic Rooftop Kiss at Ep.5 [4/4] 11.35; PatPran’s dinner-with-a-view at Ep.8 [2/4] 3.10; Pran pleading with Pat to take up the role of Riam at Ep.7 [4/4] 1.40; and Pat consoling Pran after his confrontation with his mom at Ep.10 [4/4] 12.42).
The corresponding Behind-the-Scenes video (tagged จนกว่าจะพบกันใหม่ครับเพื่อน! on YouTube) shows how all the rooftop filming, heavily delayed by rain, was done in the course of one very long evening that dragged on into the night, before completion in the wee hours of the next morning. Because of the bad weather, some filming was shifted indoors (suggesting that there may have been other key scenes originally slated for the rooftop). It was also the last night of filming, so (almost) everyone in the cast and crew turned up for a group shot. (They were also joined by Nanon’s real-life mom – I think that’s her in the front row, extreme right, in red. How sweet is it that she dropped by too for Nanon's last night of filming Bad Buddy? Makes me love this vivacious lady even more. 😊)
The rooftop was also the setting for the music video accompanying Pat’s theme (the lightly-spun jazz-pop confection “Secret”, sung by Kacha Nontanun) – the same decorative lights visible in the video are still strung up on the railing at Ep.10 [4/4] 12.22, just before Pran’s rooftop breakdown.
For visual proof of this location: Chana City Residence (at the top part of its façades) has the same rectangular view-framing walls seen at Ep.2 [2/4] 4.56, and the company that installed its satellite dishes (HSTN) has a photograph on its website (https://www.hstn.co.th/en/album/6295/digital-tv-system-chana-city-residence-by-hstn – the fourth photograph in the series) that shows the same rooftop view enjoyed by PatPran at Ep.8 [2/4] 3.10:
Pat and Pran’s student apartment interiors were filmed inside studio/suite units at the Tinidee Hotel Bangkok Golf Club (heavily disguised with posters, furniture and random clutter to look more like student accommodation). Pran’s apartment is unit 439 (Ep.8 [1I4] 4.39) while Pat and Pa’s apartment is unit 444 (Ep.8 [1I4] 5.39).
For visual proof, check out the Tinidee website at https://tinideebangkok.com/rooms/#twobedrooms.
The views of its Executive Suite show the same or similar kitchen set-up, bulkheads, moldings, curtains, wall colors, air-conditioning fan coil unit, door paneling, room cardkey slot, and wall-mounted flatscreen TV (with its shelving below). Pran’s dining chairs and sofa, that we see at Ep.2 [1I4] 14.00 and at Ep.4 [1I4] 13.22, are also visible on the Tinidee website – click on the room gallery at the bottom of their homepage.
The high school and university scenes were shot at various locations in and around Rangsit University. (Fun fact: a lot of filming for SOTUS happened on this campus as well.) PatPran’s high school entrance and lobby (Ep.2 [4/4] 8.28; Ep.10 [3I4] 1.18) were represented by the Satit Bilingual School (52/347 Muang Ake, Phahonyothin Road, Lak Hok, Mueang, Pathum Thani 12000), within the Rangsit University campus.
(above) The Satit Bilingual School, Rangsit campus
For visual proof, check out Google Street View and Google Images for Satit Bilingual School (Bangkok).
The scenes at the back of the Archi Faculty (where Pat goes to pass Pran his USB stick (Ep.5 [1I4] 7.37) and outside the Engineering Canteen (just after Korn rebuffs Pat when he discovered PatPran were an item, Ep.9 [1I4] 10.05) were filmed at the Rangsit University Student Center and Food Court (the white angled struts are quite a campus landmark).
For visual proof, Google Maps and Google Street View have images of this building.
The various seaside scenes (during the Archi Volunteer Camp of Ep.6, PatPran’s honeymoon at Ep.11 and their graduation photo with Junior and UncleTong at Ep.12 [3I4] 5.17) were filmed in and around the beach district of Hua Hin. (Can’t help thinking they’ll be popular with Bad Buddy fans looking to take graduation photos. 😊)
Sadly, UncleTong’s Zero Waste Village doesn’t actually exist, but was composited from several locations around Hua Hin. Perhaps fittingly, UncleTong himself was played by multi-faceted Renaissance Man Khom Kongkiat Khomsiri, known for wearing many hats in the industry including those of respected director (especially for action movies), screenwriter, producer and (sometime) actor.
The entrance to the Zero Waste Village (Ep.6 [2/4] 1.53, Ep.11 [1I4] 4.28, Ep.11 [4/4] 0.22, Ep.12 [3I4] 5.19) is in reality the Hua Hin Fishing Pier, also known as the Saphan Pla pedestrian promenade (and which becomes the Saphan Pla Night Market on weekends). Google Maps and Street View (plus several Hua Hin tourist websites) show many images of this pier for visual confirmation. The image here is from the video on YouTube posted by Thailand Adventures & Garden “Hua Hin Fish Pier: Best View (of) the Sun Rise in Hua Hin City”.
Scenes of beach games, meals and drinks during the Archi Volunteer Camp (e.g., Ep.6 [2/4] 3.19, Ep.6 [2/4] 7.56, Ep.6 [3I4] 14.05) were filmed at the Seapine Recreation Center on Suan Son Pradipat Beach. For visual evidence, take a look at The Thairish Sun’s YouTube video “Beach Walk – Khao Takiab to Suan Son” (dated 5 Feb 2022). You can see the same white beach chairs and catering pavilion that made an appearance during camp mealtimes (at timestamp 1.08), and the same view of Khao Takiab Hill that was in the background of many beach games (e.g., at Ep.6 [2/4] 3.50) at timestamp 1.03.
The Zero Waste Village office (Ep.6 [3I4] 11.10), Pat’s room during the Archi Camp (Ep.6 [4/4] 1.08), UncleTong’s outdoor kitchen/dining area (Ep.11 [1I4] 10.16 and Ep.11 [2/4] 2.51) and PatPran’s honeymoon suite (Ep.11 [1I4] 12.09 and Ep.11 [3I4] 2.18) were all set up at the Khao Tao Beach Lodge Old Siam. See https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Hotel-resort/Khao-Tao-Beach-Lodge-2599550960183666 and https://www.facebook.com/khaotaobeachlodge/photos for visual evidence. They even have a couple of photos taken during the filming of Bad Buddy, dated 17 September 2021. 😊
There is also a close-up video available on YouTube – “Best of Beach Walk - Haad Khao Tao, Hua Hin/Thailand” posted by followhannes.w on 16 Mar 2021 – that shows the lodge looking quite run-down before its yearly repainting (sea air is harsh on buildings). However, the current Facebook postings show that it is very much still in operation as at March 2022, and in lovely condition as well.
Actually, Pat’s room during the Archi Camp of Ep.6 and PatPran’s honeymoon suite in UncleTong’s house were both the same space, just made to look different in Ep.11 with a lower camera angle, the blue mosquito net removed and the interior gussied up with a surfeit of nautical tchotchkes. Visual clues supporting this – the timber walls and framing, curtains, window placement and air-conditioning controls (to the right of the door) were all the same in both set-ups. The room is on the upper level of the double-storey timber building facing the sea, above the eco-village office (see followhannes.w’s YouTube video above at timestamp 5.40). From this we can tell that the scene where Pat stands on the deck outside their suite and sees Pran on the beach (Ep.11 [3I4] 17.39) is editorial artifice – the roof of the lower veranda and the sea almond tree in front of the building would have blocked Pat’s view of Pran, unless he was far away in an unshaded part of the beach (which is not what we see). So Ohm and Nanon must have filmed their bits separately – kudos to their acting for still managing to convey the emotional connection. 👍
The hut where Pat and Pran work with the local fishermen (Ep.11 [2/4] 0.28, 2.07 and 7.59) is located at the bend of Ruamjai Alley nearest the sea, facing the southern breakwater of Khao Tao Beach. (Check out Google Maps for visuals.) The net fishing scene (Ep.11 [2/4] 1.47) was filmed next to the breakwater – you can just make out a bit of Wat Tham Khao Tao in the background. This corner of the beach was also the setting for their beachside bet (Ep.6 [4/4] 4.39) and Pran's walk with Junior's mom (Ep.11 [2/4] 10.20), while the breakwater itself was where they had honeymoon beers and conversation (Ep.11 [3I4] 9.54).
The beach where Pat and Pran frolic in the sea (Ep.6 [3I4] 4.50) after their market visit and mud-play is referenced as Sai Noi Beach (actually just outside Hua Hin District) in the Behind-the-Scenes video (tagged ขอบคุณทุกคนที่เปียกไปด้วยกัน! on YouTube). As the rocks are similar, the location is likely also the same one for their beach talk at Ep.11 [3I4] 5.44. For visual proof, Google Maps has a Sai Noi beach walk with several 360 panoramic photos.
UncleYod’s Beach Bar (Ep.11 [4/4] 5.20) is actually the Anchor Bar and Restaurant, also at Khao Tao Beach. Google Maps has a 360-view taken by Tanawat Wongpichet that shows the location clearly, and there are also photos on their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/anchorbarhuahin/photos). There’s a post on the Pantip forum saying that Director Backaof mentioned it was on the island of Ko Sadao, but this is wrong. Or maybe the quote is correct but Director Backaof was just trolling us. Again. 😊
The hospital where Pat was treated for his gunshot graze was Boonyavej Hospital at 834/1 Phet Kasem Road, Bangkok. Both interior (e.g., Ep.9 [4/4] 10.00) and exterior (e.g., Ep.9 [4/4] 5.30 and 9.56) scenes were shot there (reference: https://www.boonyavej.com and Google Images).
The high school reunion was filmed inside and outside The Halls Bangkok (a convention center at 79/1 Soi Vipawadee Rangsit 64, Vipawadee Rangsit Road, Taladbangkean, Laksi, Bangkok 10210). There is visual confirmation on their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/thehallsbangkok/photos) and at https://www.centerwedding.com/bangkok/venues/429021.
Bad Buddy’s interior scenes (e.g., Ep.12 [2/4] 2.18 and 4.11) were shot in the small dining hall with no false ceiling – corroborating details include the same exposed (ceiling-hung) air-conditioning FCU above the stage, with the same (faux?) timber strip flooring, hanging ferns and copper-colored globular pendant lighting. The exterior shot (Ep.12 [2/4] 10.24) is the front entrance, visible on Facebook.
These are all the locations for this post. For other locations discovered after I wrote the above, check out the listing at the end of this write-up. 😊
The location-based shooting can’t have been easy (not that it ever is) – Director Backaof and his production team would have had to pay great attention to detail in order to minimize continuity errors and differentiate scenes/locations in time and space (e.g., when filming in Pat’s room v. PatPran’s honeymoon suite). It would have been especially tough on the actors, requiring them to jump about the different stages of their characters’ emotional journeys, usually out of sequence. For example, at the beach Ohm and Nanon would have had to portray an awkward emotional distance between Pat and Pran for Ep.6, but then also couple-mode intimacy for Ep.11. Likewise, on the rooftop they would have had to incarnate Pat and Pran at very different junctures in their relationship, from childhood frenemies getting re-acquainted (Ep.2 [2/4] 4.56), to hopeful romantics daring a forbidden kiss (Ep.5 [4/4] 11.35), to squabbling rivals competing in a strange courtship bet (Ep.7 [4/4] 1.47), to new boyfriends navigating each other’s boundaries (Ep.8 [2/4] 3.10) and finally to star-crossed Shakespearean lovers finding solace in each other’s arms (Ep.10 [4/4] 12.42) – but with the order of scenes all jumbled up. 🤦♂️ (We know this from the Behind-the-Scenes video, tagged จนกว่าจะพบกันใหม่ครับเพื่อน! on YouTube.) It’s testament to how excellent everyone was at their craft (both in front of and behind the camera), that the end product has the seamless fluidity it does. 👍
