Day 10 - Most emotionally pleasing love scene

Get in losers we’re talking about Bad Buddy!!

Oh Bad Buddy. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height. Except Wai. Fucketh that guy.

Boooooooooooooooo

I know that the challenge is, “most emotionally pleasing love scene” but honestly this is more like, “most emotionally devastating love scene”.

This is THE moment for Pat and Pran. Their first kiss. It’s the moment when the floodgates open.

I love how Pat initiates the first kiss and then there’s a pause and Pran grabs him and it’s like finally. Every single suppressed emotion spills out in this passionate, desperate, hungry kiss.

God it’s beautiful.

And the best part is it all happens while Pat is wearing a shirt that says, “Baseball mom”.

At first when I saw Tattoo steal the necklace again I was like, hmm, kinda lame we did that already. And when Joke forgave him I was like, meh. But thinking about it and reading other people’s thoughts on the episode I understand.

Tattoo has been trapped in a cycle of poverty his entire life and will desperately try and claw his way out of it the only way he knows how. He has no other resources because none have ever been provided for him. When presented with the opportunity, of course he took it, he didn’t even think about the repercussions, he just saw the necklace and ran.

But this time was different because when he took it to his mother, she rejected it and his best friend alienated him. He was alone. Then when Joke found him, Tattoo lied but instead of hurting or exiling him, Joke forgave him. This (second) act of forgiveness I think is going to have a huge impact on Tattoo. His mother and best friend looked at him with shame and disappointment, he had almost lost everything, and then Joke forgave him. I really do feel like this is a formative moment in Tattoo’s growth as a character. Now him and Arun just need to smooch.

His suffering was so, so real.

What I wanted was for you to join my side. For that, I would have done much worse.

I think it’s interesting that some fans seem to be so ready to condemn Tattoo but will give googly eyes at Hope when he’s, objectively speaking, a right bastard. Like some of y’all love to gush over a bad boy but when flawed characters exhibit flaws THAT’S the issue, that’s the obstacle you can’t get over, the thing that can’t be forgiven. I’m not saying you can’t be annoyed or angry at Tattoo’s actions, I’m just saying have some self awareness. 4 Minutes, Jack & Joker and KinnPorsche have taught me that BL fans have a harder time accepting morally grey, flawed characters who are just regular humans than literal “bad guys” with pretty faces.

the most pathetic criminals you know just joined forces
