Vegas Pete incorrect quotes
Vegas : Hold the fuck up!
Pete : ??
Vegas : I'm the fuck up
Vegas : hold me
I want to emphasize that Puen & Talay had a mutual love at first sight moment.
It's not just the physical contact. Talay doesn't idolise Puen as a celebrity, he only meant to keep distance & avoid looking creepy. So he's basically having a "Fuck he's too attractive my heart can't take it" moment.
Puen on the other hand finds Talay cute. Initially he must have assumed Talay as another nervous fan. He's a celebrity. He must have met so many people who tell that they're friends are his fan. He couldn't resist, plus he had to be polite as a public figure. This he accepted the present.
Now for the deciding factor. I want to believe Puen was just being nice. When he told the person who drew the alpaca which looks like a lama must be cute. It could mean one of the 2 things
If your friend drew this, I think it's cute they put in effort to customize it
If you're nervous & using friend as a cover, then you're double cute considering point 1 as well
Just look how he pauses to call Talay cute with an endearing smile when he learns it was he who drew it.
Puen has to keep his distance with a fan but his smile of intense adoration shows he finds Talay charming. Maybe even attractive. And if it was in another world where they were not fan-celebrity he'd want to get to know Talay (WHICH IS PRECISELY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AFGSVAVAJW)
This scene is PROOF that Talay is fucking attracted to Puen. He has poise, charm & consistent (from his interaction with the director, he's still as polite as he was at the airport) Puen even tried to communicate & make Talay comfortable when he could've just tried again without having to talk to him.
Talay's repeatedly being put in a situation where the man he's attracted to is being nice to him & has his face literally centimeters away from his own. He's losing it & we're here for it 😂🥰✋🏼
Now for Puen. There was ABSOLUTELY NO need of fixing the hair & makeup of somebody playing dead. Because it's not mentioned that it's some protagonist who NEEDS to look beautiful even in death to evoke pity 😂
Puen got a chance to be near the person he had a fleeting crush on. He's just living his best life by living in the moment & going "OMG I touched my crush, he's so close to my face, he's gorgeous!!" 😂😂😂
Puen is DEFINITELY the one who's whipped more. Just look at him 😂💙🤍
Because Talay is gleaming with joy on his job offer & it has nothing to do with Puen. In fact, he must be frustrated as it's disrupting his shoot & schedule
But here he goes, smiling to himself seeing his crush be happy & finding it cute.
On an important note, Talay knows it's most likely a celebrity crush & Puen is not someone accessible in his social circle.
But Puen is falling hard for Talay's transparency & overall nervous, awkward behavior & we're living for it.
In conclusion Talay is having a Y/N moment that none of us never had 😔😪
1. Makkachin snuggling with Yuri to the point Victor gets jealous 🤭
2. Yuri sharing about Vicchan and Victor & Makkachin giving him a big warm hug
3. Pichit meeting Makkachin & flooding his feed with posts of them (please that would be so adorable he’s such a good friend and lovely guy)
4. A family portrait of Yuri & Victor holding Makkachin featuring their engagement rings!!
5. Ok a bit too much but agape should be about Makkachin fr bcs what else is unconditional love 😭
6. Nishigori triplets pampering Makkachin when Yuri and Victor are away for tournament !
7. Ok lastly Minami petting Makkachin when they gathered for the tournament cheering 🥹
You. You're still single.
Is it clear that I'm flirting with you?
Just because we have clothes on, doesn't mean we didn't have sex.
Why'd you hit me?// You were sleeping showing your abs// You teased me

Soulmates. Better half. Portkeys. The love of your life. CMBYN & Vice Versa's plot at their core are essentially these aforementioned concepts.
Call me by your name is inspired from Plato's Symposium. In Greek mythology, humans were originally four-limbed, two-faced creatures; split apart by Zeus and condemned to spend their lives looking for their other half.
According to Symposium, one's quest for a female or male half depends on the nature of their original being. The relationship between the halves is subjective, but is ultimately companionship.
However, when one meets their other half, be it a lover of youth or a lover of another sort, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy, and would not be out of the other’s sight, as I may say, even for a moment.” This is the highest form of love — “the people who pass their whole lives together; yet they could not explain what they desire of one another.”
"Call me by your name and I will call you by mine" implies that "you and I" are one being that was separated. Now Talay & Puen share parallels to Oliver & Elio.
Puen and Talay are going through something similar (as of ep 6) The duo find themselves naturally drawn to each other, but they do know what they desire from each other. They briefly even feign ignorance.
As for the concept of portkeys, it once again refers to the idea of 2 people who are destined for each other. Like a match made in heaven.
Puen is carefree like Oliver. It is very evident from his confidence when he says things like "I kissed you because I wanted to" or "I should simply marry my colorist then"
For a non believer of love, Talay treats love sacredly. He's quick to draw boundaries & teach Puen that love cannot & should not be faked. He's cautious, sensitive to language & doesn't take things for granted, just like Elio. Puen revealed himself to Pang in the first meeting but not to Talay who was practically joined to him by the hip on most days. Talay tries to hide his envy by telling Puen to get close to Pang by calling her his prospective portkey. This is parallel to Elio's jealousy over Chiara. And his attempt to objectify her to strike up a conversation with Oliver.
Although most Call Me By Your Name ends with Elio getting a little more cynical, here's to manifesting that Vice Versa will end with Puen feeling a lot less lonely & Talay losing his cynicism about love.
PS Call Me By Your Name is set in a town by the coast & a lot of scenes are on the beach. Talay happened to drown while playing at the beach. Not to forget his name itself means "Sea" (And the actor's nickname IRL is Sea lmao 😂)

I would literally do anything to re live that feeling I had when I first watched Masaan. There is something extremely raw about understanding the original dialogue & not needing subtitles.
And yet. Yet. I did not know a lot of cultural nuances within the story. Such as the belief that splitting the skull during cremation is said to help the soul rest in peace. The betting on kids who can dive to pick coins. Slut shaming & stigma on pre marital sex being more condemned in smaller towns than metropolitan cities.
The subtlety of accents. Devi uses the word "please" "papa" & always speaks in a clear "sophisticated" way, sprinkled with English words. She's digitally literate. Confident even that despite everyone's blackmail, she was just in love & not being the so called slut. She was afraid but never guilty. She never accepted harassment.
Then we have Deepak & Shaalu. Blissfully happy. Until reality starts sinking in. Their families will not accept an inter caste marriage. Deepak starts getting insecure that his family cremates bodies for a living. Shaalu feels pathetic for asking. Of course she meant no harm but damn was she scared of bring disowned.
And then it starts to merge. Devi & Deepak both want to break their cycle of poverty. They study hard & move in search of opportunity. They want to better their lives. They've lost their lovers. They both throw their lover's remaining token into the rivers.
I personally see the last line to be layered. That they should go to sangam twice. But were they really alone? Or were they going with that someone not next to them but in their heart?
His favourite part of the day is telling you about his day
Thought you'd be jealous of Kiyoko but he ends up jealous when you say you find her attractive too
Prefers phone calls over texts
Always cheers you on in your endeavours
Makes sure to say that he's grateful of how supportive you are about his obsession w volleyball (he feels guilty for prioritising team over you sometimes)
Laid back and not much of physical touch person (not that you both are shy, but that's just how it is)
A very mature relationship where both of you want to be tg for long
Always tries to spend quality time w you after practice
He's sometimes so tired from practice he gladly falls asleep in your lap
Would literally run and kiss you hard after a great match/ fruitful practice
Loves talking about his younger teammates as well as some opponents he's befriended
Sawamura is grateful the vice captain he leans on has someone too
Runs his hand through your hair and smiles a lot
You once washed and packed his uniform & sports gear for him, he was over the moon, wouldn't stop bragging about it to his teammates
You both gossip a little about Michimiya's crush on Sawamura for fun
Gets flustered & looks at you a lot if he's not playing on the court when you come to cheer
You once asked to try on his jersey so he's now very careful to not get it sweaty and smelly so you can wear it a lot
Tanaka & Nishinoya tease him a little about how whipped he is for you
Doesn't plan anything like cheesy couple outfits, but would absolutely wear one if you ask him to
Gently affectionate but not very big on PDA
You once dabbed his sweat after a match and he swore his heart was about jump out from his throat
More romantic and emotional intimacy than physical
Lets you paint his nails and keeps them even if his friends say the mismatched colours look funny
Cups your cheek a lot
Loves loves loves receiving cheek & forehead kisses
Too stunned to speak when you give him any gifts
You both stargaze quite a bit everytime you meet at night after his practices
Cuties and their drunk confessions 🥹
Honestly VegasPete ship would never sail if Kinn had just paid more attention to the situation.
I'm not talking about him forgetting. It's when Vegas lies to him via text that Pete is going to see his grandmother who fell & probably got hurt .
Kinn you had the brains to ask her about his whereabouts but not her health?!🤦♀️ If only Kinn had even vaguely asked about how she fell he'd have discovered the lie.
And no grandma wouldn't have lied & agreed she's hurt. Because Vegas has told Pete had been given a vacation from the major family & not something he got from cooking up this excuse.
Seriously Kinn, if only you had remembered to be a little more courteous & paid attention to detail🤧🤦♀️
Necklaces of all types
In the first pic, Kim is a celebrity keeping his distance from fans. Although he's now particularly drawn to one person more than he should 😉
In the first picture, he's fondly thinking if Chay which even clears his creative block, but he's in isolation. He's working. Maybe not on his hidden agenda. But he's still working on music. Thus he's channeling his emotions into music, his outlet, and not necessarily acting upon them. He's just transferring it from one cage to another.
He still has a chain on when he breaks Porchay's heart. This is interesting. Because this particular breakup in sandwiched between the 2 times Kim rescued Chay. Which makes his vague apology in this scene seem like : "I'm sorry (it's for the best) or I'm sorry (you'll not understand my greater cause)"
But it does show he's conflicted & hiding emotions.
The fourth picture is probably the thickest chain he's worn in the series. Understandably so because it's almost impossible to NOT melt in that situation 😭
How can someone stand without confessing their love for Porchay. When he's being an obedient student turning in homework. And serenading you at your door. In broad daylight. With the first love song he's ever written. For you.
I know you're Kimhan Theerapanyakul but still. HOW?! 😭✋🏼
PS Look out for the special part
