Bad Buddy Analysis - Tumblr Posts
"We know how it's going to end, isn't it better not to start at all?"
I am sobbing now, because we all know he isn't talking about the guitar and his mom, he's talking about this thing he has with Pat, all this love which now he knows is reciprocated. He's so scared to lose his love again and get hurt again that he's willing to not accept it at all. I'm sobbing. I still have to finish this part, will come back after. (Also I relate to this line so personally, that's why I cried after hearing it)
I just found that Mitski's 'First Love/Late Spring' chorus perfectly depicts the feelings of Pran after that kiss. Like see the lyrics-
So please, hurry, leave me, I can't breathe/ Please don't say you love me/ Mune ga hachikire-sōde (translates to 'my heart seems like it’s going to burst')
All this love he had hidden for years, thinking it was unreciprocated, he was hurt but somewhere he was also glad that it's just a secret and those feelings aren't anything real and maybe he'd recover from them sometime later and he won't have to be in this complicated situation but when Pat kissed him, the realization came rushing towards him that's it's real and it's reciprocated. He's scared because every time something good happens between them they're always left hurting so he just wants it to not happen at all. That's why he wants to ignore Pat that maybe through this Pat would back off but we know our stubborn idiot in love would never back off. You see how perfectly the lyrics fit. God I wish I was better with explaining this but I hope you get what I'm saying.
Somebody please do an analysis on how Pran's and Pat's rooms have changed with the time leap, especially Pran's because there are so many architectural posters now rather than all the smiley/positive vibes posters he used to have previously.
