Bad Buddy Brain Rot - Tumblr Posts
Will i ever get over them? Probably not.
Am i complaining? No. ❤💙
Formulaically, part of why Bad Buddy is so satisfying to experience is how time and time again we get to revisit scenarios that were originally angsty or ended with unresolved tension in happier contexts. Time and time again we get resolutions for tensions.
We get Pran applying the ointment first to himself
then we get Pat applying it for him but it’s still angsty because Pran is pining (as is Pat, though he hasn’t yet understood his feelings for Pran)
and then we get the payoff/resolution with one of Pran’s flashback reminiscing scenes when Wai was describing the tale of Kwan and Riam
plus a bonus of Pran applying it to Pat
same narrative structure for the face wiping
Pat pulling Pran under his shirt
“Unknowingly, from two people who couldn’t be friends, we became two people who were more than friends. We might not be able to change the world. All we could do is adjust to it and live happily. We might not be able to change the people around us—but they couldn’t change the two of us either.”
OHM PAWAT as PAT NANON KORAPAT as PRAN

WHY IS PRAN'S MOM SO CRUEL AND BITTER???
Even Pat's dad was being a bit considerate and polite (not defending him, he's clearly very bad too) since he didn't start scolding Pat or jerked him away from there, he let him speak and give that document. But woah Pran's mom wasn't backing off. And SHE MADE PRAN STOP PLAYING GUITAR??????????? She's setting the bars of being cruel so high. What made this relation between two families so bad?
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.
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE WITH THESE TWO IDIOTS-IN-LOVE FLIRTING LIKE THAT
