ECLIPSE INCORRECT QUOTES

because that’s when you know im obsessed with it

(disclaimer: I meant to do this literally two weeks ago but I didn’t think I had enough but I stopped for a bit and my adhd brain promptly forgot about it for a week and then remembered and then forgot for another week, and honestly i meant to actually make this for like a month before that but i didnt actually start finding the quotes until two weeks ago, but it’s fine I’m here now)

—- —-

Akk: Ayan is a little bitch. Wat: Why? Akk: Number one, he’s little. Number two, he’s a bitch.

(episode 1-3 core)

—- —-

Namo: The floor is lava! Kan: *helps Thua onto the counter* Akk: *kicks Wat off the sofa* Ayan: *lays on the floor* Namo: ...Are you okay? Ayan: No.

(im 80% certain this is a deleted scene from the beach episodes)

—- —-

*Akk and Ayan are planning to break in somewhere* Akk: We need to distract the guards. Ayan: Right. Akk: What are we gonna do? Ayan: I'm gonna break their elbows while you poke their eyes. Akk: Ayan: Akk: Deal.

—- —-

Akk: Aye, can you help me? All of my clothes keep disappearing for some reason. Ayan, wearing a hoodie that's 5 times bigger than his size: Spooky.

—- —-

Akk: I'm going to take a shower, I'll be right back. Ayan: Why are you telling me this, I don't care. Ayan, right after Akk leaves the room: I miss him already.

—- —-

Aye: Fuck capitalism. It's a rigged system that keeps us poor and it isn't fair. You shouldn't need to work three jobs to afford basic necessities. Aye, playing Monopoly: Sorry, if you wanted to win you should have tried not being poor.

—- —-

Akk: I fell— Aye: From heaven? Akk: No, I literally fell— Aye: In love with me the moment you saw me? Akk: MY ARM IS BROKEN! Aye: Okay, but do you think I'm pretty? Be honest.

—- —-

Aye: Are we fighting or flirting? Akk: I'm pinning you against a wall with my hand around your neck- Aye: Your point?

—- —-

Thua: Two bros! Kan: Chillin' in a hot tub! Thua and Kan, in unison: Zero feet apart 'cause we're GAY AS FUCK!

—- —-

Akk: I owe you one. Aye: That’s ok. You can just date me and we’ll call it even.

—- —-

Thua: I want to kiss you. Kan, not paying attention: What? Thua: I said if you die, I wont miss you.

(its okay thua, he's not ignoring you, he has adhd. just kiss him, he'll be happy, trust me)

—- —-

Kan: And now for a gay update with Akk and Aye. Akk: Getting gayer. Kan: Thank you, Akk.

—- —-

Wat: So… I’ve seen you’ve been spending a lot of time with Thua recently. Kan: No, Wat, it's not what it looks like, I swear. Wat: Oh really? So no reason for me to be jealous? Kan: No! You’re the only one for me. Wat: Is that so? Kan: I promise! Thua and I are just dating, okay? He’s my boyfriend. Wat: So there are no best-friends-feelings involved? Kan: You are still my one and only best friend! He’s just the love of my life, nothing more! Wat: But I’m still the platonic love of your life, right? Kan: Of course bro! Wat: Bro... Thua: What the-

—- —-

*at 3am* Kan: *runs into Akk’s room and turns on the light* Wake up sleepyhead! Akk: *wakes up* Dude! Kan: *cackles* Aye: *sits up from where he was sleeping behind akk* What the fuck, Kan? Kan: *jaw drops* Wait WHAT-

(the original vine is now playing over and over in my head and its probably my favourite vine and its literally them and i love it so much gerjdhgbrh)

—- —-

Kan: This totally sucks, man. Akk: This is horrible. Kan: Yeah, I know, I mean look at everything the curse did to those rulebreakers today. Akk: No, it’s not that, it’s Aye. Akk: It’s just like, I can’t get him out of my head and every time I look at him I have these pains in my chest, and I just know it’s his fault, that bitch!

(AVPM QUOTE LETS GOOO and yes it is perfection and is exactly canon i take no criticism)

—- —-

Kan: Did Thua just tell me he loved me for the first time? Akk: Yeah, he did. Kan: And did I just do finger guns back? Akk: Yeah, you did.

(oh you sweet sweet maybe-bisexual man)

—- —-

Aye: *finds a note* Hmm, whats this? Kan: Hey, that's mine! *tries to grab it* Aye: Aww, it's a love note for Thua? Kan: No- Aye: *opens it* Aye: Kan: Aye: I can't read this.

(is it because the contents are too explicit to read or because kan's handwriting is awful? you decide)

—- —-

Kan: So are you gonna explain how the hell you crashed my car? Akk: Well we were driving and there was a deer in the road, so I said "Aye, deer!" Kan: ...And what did you say? Aye: ..."Yes, Honey?"

—- —-

Kan: I love you. Thua: I love you too. I've waited so long to hear you say that. *Kan and Thua kiss passionately* Wat, to Akk: You owe me 20 dollars.

(HES BEEN SAYING IT FOR YEARS AND THEY FINALLY DID IT. IMAGINE THE VICTORIOUS FEELING WAT FELT IN THAT MOMENT. NOT TO MENTION THE JOY AT HIS SHIP FINALLY GETTING TOGETHER. BRO IS AS PHENOMENAL AS TIW AND I LOVE HIM SO FREAKING MUCH (someone write a crossover fic where tiw and wat get together and plot their ships' getting together. if someone has already written this, please tell me)

—- —-

Kan: Time sensitive question how flirt boy. Akk: Throw rocks at he. Aye: Hot Dogs. Wat: Kill him. Kan: Thanks guys.

—- —-

Kan, trying to sound happy: *about Aye and Thua* They’d make a cute couple, huh? Akk, holding back tears: They certainly are standing next to each other.

(first few episodes core. specifically when aye is whispering in thua's ear and theyre both just standing to the side watching it happen and completely unaware that this means they are gay and in love with one of them)

—- —-

Thua: I'm so happy, I could kiss you! Kan: Um...Neat. *later* Kan, lying face down on their bed: I said "Neat," Akk. Who the fuck says neat these days? It's not neat to say neat but I said it anyways because I'm fucking stupid. Akk, reading a book: Don't beat yourself up too much, Kan. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what I did when Aye confessed his love for me? Kan: Didn't you thank him? Akk: *closes the book and looks at the ceiling* I fucking thanked him.

—- —-

Kan: How is the most beautiful person in the world? Thua: *blushing* I— Aye, butting into the conversation: Akk is perfect, thanks for asking.

—- —-

Wat: Do you love Kan? Thua: Yeah, I do. Wat: Akk! I told you I knew it! You owe me 100 baht! Akk: We all love Kan. You should've asked if he was IN love with him. Thua: I thought that was implied. Akk: ... Wat: ... Thua, looking straight at Akk: Congrats Wat, you just won 100 baht.

—- —-

Akk: Are you trying to seduce me? Aye: Why, are you seducible?

—- —-

Aye: Jail is no fun. I’ll tell you that much. Wat: Oh, you’ve been? Aye: Once. In Monopoly.

—- —-

Wat: When I was a kid, Kan told me that the paper strip that’s in the chocolate kisses were edible and I ate them with the chocolate for a year. Teacher Sani: They are! Wat: FOR REAL? Sani: No! Why did you fall for it again?

—- —-

Thua, on a random band name generator: Oooo! They Might Be Depressed Horses! That about sums up my friend group.

—- —-

Akk: Being gay is a constant battle between "I wish to sit on a window bench with my lover, our legs tangling as we listen to the birds" and "Hey, let's go throw rocks at fascists" and I think that's very sexy of us. Ayan: If the window's open and you time it right, you can do both.

—- —-

Ayan: Hey, Akk, what do you think it would be like if we had kids? Akk: What would it be like? Inconvenient, mostly. Ayan: No, I mean, what would they be like, the kids? You ever think about it? Akk: Can't really say I have. Ayan: You know, for someone as eccentric as yourself, you can be boring as fuck sometimes. Akk: Sorry, Aye. For what it's worth, I'm picturing them now. A boy and a girl. Two perfect little freaks of nature raised by people who've clearly got no business bringin' up anybody.

—- —-

Ayan: Talk dirty to me, baby~ Akk: The dishes. Ayan: Wh- Akk: They’ve been there for 4 days and it’s your turn to wash them. You still haven’t cleaned them and I have asked you to do so several times.

—- —-

Ayan: My hands are cold. Akk: Here, let me hold them. Ayan: My lips are cold too. Akk: *covers Ayan's mouth with his hand*

—- —-

Akk: Okay, I’m going to get the wedding cake. Ayan: Perfect, while you do that I’ll check on the ring bear. Akk: ... Akk: You mean ring bearER, right? Ayan: ... Akk: Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not going to bring a dangerous wild animal to our wedding.

—- —-

Ayan: Since we're in a relationship now, your clothes are my clothes too. Don't ask me why I have your shirt on, this is our shirt. Akk: Fine, but when I come strutting in with your fuzzy socks I don't want to hear shit.

—- —-

Akk: You are the love of my life and I would do anything within reason to make you happy. Ayan: I would be happy if you ate, stayed hydrated and got a reasonable amount of sleep. Akk: I said within reason, Ayan. How about I murder that guy? Ayan: So murder is in reason but proper self care isn't? Akk: Well, duh. What kind of question is that?

—- —-

Ayan: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine. Akk: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again. Ayan: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns?? Akk: Is it working?

—- —-

Akk: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine. Ayan: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again. Akk: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns?? Ayan: Is it working?

—- —-

and now, for my personal favourite...

Ayan: Akk is playing hard to get. Ayan: Little does he know, I'm a master at playing hard to get rid of.

—- —-

that's all for now, but i promise, i will be back

Akk: I am responsible for the curse!

Ayan: I am Teacher Dika’s nephew and you drove him to suicide!

Teacher Chadok: I was in love with your uncle and we were engaged and I watched him commit suicide in front of me!

Thua: I have been manipulating everything from behind the scenes in a desperate bid to expose the truth so all this can finally end!

I haven’t seen anyone talk about it but one thing I appreciated about the finale is their reference to Mes, Akk’s hero and telling us he had to take a year off for his depression. I appreciated this for so many reasons:

1. It verbalised that the trauma these boys underwent for generations and toll on their mental health and that it doesn’t go away even after leaving the school - the things we do and say have a rippling effect

2. It showed Akk, he wasn’t weak or alone. Even the person he looked up to suffered at the hands of the system. He was never the “issue”, he was a victim to an appalling system and coming out of that as strong as he did proves the opposite of what he used to believe - he’s an incredibly strong person

Ace-Coded Akk

Thanks to the conversation I had with @saladbroth, I decided this discussion was really important to me. I will start by saying that however canon plays out, there's a lot to be said about the portrayal of Akk and his reaction to sex, romance, and queerness in general. This is merely an interpretation and not an attempt to force an identity or erase what's intended for him. However, I'm an asexual and I will be wearing the ace goggles as is my wont to do.

Akk is a funny character in many ways, and it's really enjoyable watching him be so rigid yet so affected by Ayan's antics. It's truly comedic. He gets the biggest deer-in-the-headlights expression on his face that I have ever seen. He is so uncomfortable and so in denial that I can’t help but laugh. But looking at him from a serious angle reveals so many layers that prove he is not just a mindless bootlicker serving as a tool to be messed with. His struggle to rise from a humble background to become the head prefect of Suppalo plays a great part in who he is and what motivates him. In fact, it seems to be the thing he cares about most.

One scene that really points this out is the exchange below:

Akk doesn’t just say no, but he calls dating nonsense. Even while hiding his true feelings, calling romance nonsensical as a whole is a bit further than he needed to go, so why would he put it that way if it didn’t hold some truth? A good part of asexuality is having a complicated relationship with romance and dating. Regardless of one’s romantic attraction, navigating the dating scene especially in modern day is exhausting. This is tenfold for asexuals because of the expectations that come with pursuing a relationship. For now, Akk is a student and he is happy putting his energy into that instead.

Now, when asked that ultimate question, the show plays a short montage of Akk’s private moments with Ayan up to that point. I’ll talk more about that in a second, because it’s still relevant. Before Ayan came to the school, Akk has been comfortable being a student and not worrying about teen romances. He doesn’t even complain about not being able to attract anyone, which could’ve been an easy reply. However, if he had complained about this predicament, it would’ve likely invited his friends to offer him help finding a date. Akk has been with these friends throughout his time at school and this is their last year together, which means he knows that’s not what he should say.

Of course, part of the reason he gives that answer is because he’s still not willing to admit any feelings for Ayan. That’s too much to unpack. He can’t even be vague about it because then he’d simply get questioned even more, and the last thing Akk needs is to be pressured into saying something he neither wants to nor should for a student in his position.

And then we get this scene:

He is once again targeted with questions about his dating life. Namo wasn’t present during the discussion earlier, so poor Akk has to face these concepts again but now with Ayan present. He has another chance to say he just can’t get a girl to date him or that he’s focusing on school and dating will have to wait. But what does he repeat?

This is such loaded response. Because while Akk may not care about dating, there is something going on, there is someone he likes. It doesn’t help that Ayan is present for this conversation because his ears are perked up like a rabbits’ and enjoying every second of Akk’s rigid cover.

He doubles down anyway. This is not a topic he wants to discuss. I find it interesting in that he handles it so differently from Kan, who is in a similar situation. Kan leans into faking heterosexuality to feel safe. Akk could easily have done the same but that tactic doesn’t even occur to him. All he wants is to be a good student and do his job and he’d like nothing to get in the way of that.

Kan, I love you sweetie, but you really could have just said nothing. This was a step too far. Sex and romance do not go hand in hand for everyone. I will forgive him a little for making this comment because again, Kan is trying to come off as some kind of chick magnet and is using the idea of possibly not being a virgin to insulate that persona. Still rude though.

I would just like to commend Wat for this comment. He already got his answer from Akk and accepted it, and doesn’t understand why Kan has joined Namo in prodding him further. Namo does not take a hint.

That question. That fucking question. Ignoring the smug little smirk on Ayan’s face, I just see Akk’s posture and feel my whole chest weigh down with a feeling I know very well. There’s a great deal of thoughts and emotions swirling through him right now and none of them are pleasant. He’s confronted with the knowledge that against all logic he likes Ayan, who is sitting beside him and has not been shy about flirting in the slightest. This means he’s gay, a fact about himself that has only recently surfaced and comes with a whole slew of baggage for a kid who has lived under traditional ideals his whole life. But he’s also never cared for dating and romance before so it should be easy to write off. Right?

Except for all of Akk’s oddities, he is aware that the social norm is to want sex and is around the age where teens typically experiment with it. And he hasn’t. Is it because he’s gay and repressed? That’s possible. He could lean into Kan’s method again and try to hint that he’s not a virgin, if that’s what he really wanted to defend.

What we see instead is that he gets so tense and uncomfortable that he makes an excuse to leave the situation altogether. Once the topic of sex, especially his experience (or lack of) with it, is brought up, he is out.

And we see a pattern in how he responds to Ayan’s advances. I love this gifset here because while it’s also humorous, it’s so relatable. What many would like to call sexual tension in this situation could also be seen as anything but. Akk’s slow reaction to Ayan undressing appears to be closer to confusion at what he’s watching up to the point where the zipper goes down and he realizes what it means.

I could reference shot after shot after gif after gif of Ayan posing a threat flirting messing with Akk and point emphatically at Akk’s face and body language, but I know that a great deal of what I’m seeing is very much my own interpretation. To me, Akk is the person who was raised with very strict rules and his beliefs are so influenced by them that he is happy not stepping outside those boundaries. He’s naive in that he believes he has a proper frame of reference to explain the world around him - or at least have enough explained to him to get him where he wants to go and he can ignore the rest because it doesn’t (shouldn’t) affect him. His asexuality is easy to deal with in that context because he doesn’t even have to be aware of it to move forward in his life. For all he knows, his lack of sexual attraction is simply an advantage, some lucky removal of distraction, so that he can focus on what’s more important to him.

Then Ayan comes along. He’s out of bounds both literally and figuratively. He awakens ideas and feelings in Akk that are scary and new and worst of all fucking inconvenient. The thoughts in his head stray from school work to that romantic nonsense everyone else has been bothering him about. Why should he care? Why should they care? What is Ayan really trying to do? So he pretends not to be interested and tries to convince himself that Ayan is a villain and that he doesn’t have to bother with wanting Ayan in any way if he gets rid of him. Anything so he doesn’t have to face the fact that not only does he experience attraction, but he’s homoromantic. Hence the montage mentioned earlier.

Akk as a gay-ace learning he is both at the same time is a huge event - one that will slowly make the world he knows crumble into dust around him. I don’t expect the show to tackle the nuances of the split attraction model or even ace identities, so I’ll be happy with whatever comes of his relationship with Ayan even if it does turn out to be more sexual. Sexuality is strange and fluid and ultimately very personal. There’s no right or wrong way to experience any given identity. But being able to relate with a character who shares characteristics of my own identity is what makes me love Akk so much, especially with such a lack of ace representation. First's portrayal of him is absolutely something to be commended. Golf has done an amazing job with this show so far and I look forward to everything they have prepared for us.

But anyway, let me just say this once and clear: I love Wasuwat, consistently my voice of reason, a ball of passionate observer. The show can have all the twist but not on him. Please.

Will I possibly be heartbroken? Probably. But it's for later if ever.

the eclipse episode 5

note board below for my ramblings on this episode. this one is much more scatterbrained than the last one.

episodes 1-4

Character Notes

Akk

What we know so far - Akk being from a small town has achieved plot relevance as well as his adherence to the rules and desire to become a prefect - he tells Ayan that he’s at Suppalo on a scholarship and implies that he can’t afford to attend without it, and the same likely holds true for college; Mes was the student prefect that Akk looked up to when he was younger, and I hope we get more details about Mes because he very clearly idolized Mes (side note but this is bothering me: Mes’ face looks SO familiar but I cannot fucking place why) - a parental figure has entered the ring! Akk’s father spoke with him on the phone about needing to come say goodbye to his aunt before she left - all the insight we have for now but good to know he has parents - Akk is NOT the one who took Ayan’s journal from his locker - Akk is notably NOT annoyed at all by Ayan’s texts about being paired together for judo. in fact he actually smiles and laughs to himself a little, looking almost fond (and the shot was kind of wide so it was hard for me to tell, but right before the scene cut away, Akk almost looks a little surprised at himself for that reaction) - he went to find Teacher Chadok after the fight with Ayan, but it’s not clear what exactly he was going to talk to him about - Akk sought out Ayan after Ayan missed class, but didn’t talk to him after he saw Thua approach Ayan...what were you going to SAY MY GUY??

What we should keep in mind - Akk returns to the queer cafe and he still seems totally fine in that atmosphere so my money is on Akk knows he’s queer he’s just having a crisis that he’s being queer about Ayan as a person rather than Ayan being the same gender as him - springing from the pattern of Akk constantly threatening violence to Ayan if Ayan continued to step out of line finally culminated in Akk actually punching Ayan; he then later mentions he got into fights when he first arrived at Suppalo because he was bullied - i’m curious if Akk grew up rough and tumble or if he just snapped from the environment change and pressure - he seems to feel the need to hide how his feelings toward Ayan are changing from Kan and Wat, likely thinking that they wouldn’t understand and he’s too confused himself still to explain - i believe Akk is changing before he’s even aware of it, something honest breaking free without his permission; he’s the one to approach Ayan and offer up an olive branch, something Akk wouldn’t have done three episodes ago; he even acknowledges that he was after Ayan’s notebook when before he would deny it - Akk’s obsession with the rules and love for Suppalo has been revealed to have stemmed from the interactions he had and people he met during his first year there; Mes and Dika and maybe even Chadok showed him the path to a future Akk probably felt he previously didn’t have access to, but the exact details are still yet to be revealed, especially why Suppalo was the school Akk chose in the first place

Ayan What we know so far - Ayan’s journal has been snatched by an unknown figure (potentially the same one who has yet to be identified from earlier episodes) and while upset about the journal being taken seems relatively unconcerned about the contents of said journal being spread around - Ayan has moved on from giving Akk an out and now texts him to claim Akk as his partner for judo practice in advance - previously stated that Ayan seems well-educated; he was reading G. Orwell’s 1984 in his free-time because we know damn well that’s not on Suppalo’s required reading list - Ayan may have deleted the cheek kiss photo after sending it to Akk, but he still has sleepy Akk photos on that phone of his - Ayan absolutely is feeling some type of way about Akk at this point

What we should keep in mind - it seems like there is still a distance between Ayan and the World Remembers group in terms of protest planning, but I’m curious what Ayan was doing at the school when he found Akk at the end of the episode - I should have mentioned this previously but it seems that Ayan is extremely aware of when Akk is following him and I’m not sure if it’s just because Akk is bad at it or if Ayan is that paranoid, but I find it interesting that Ayan seems to always have his guard up even outside of the school - Ayan sending the photo to Akk felt like a test, especially when he gave Akk the out to save face about likely not deleting the photo by telling Akk to do it not in front of Ayan...I’m wondering if he’s clocked the cracks in the foundation of Akk’s beliefs in Suppalo (or maybe he’s just gay lol) - when Akk asked Ayan about what he meant regarding the curse, Ayan didn’t answer and instead asked “does the student prefect title mean that much to you?” and i know it was Ayan’s way of diverting the conversation but to me it also read as a protective mechanism, as if trying to keep Akk clear of whatever fall out Ayan knows is coming

Dika What we know so far - Dika met Akk after Akk got in a fight and was able to help Akk figure out how to move forward and was “just so understanding” which is a sentiment that Ayan agrees with; the idea that Akk’s personal sense of betrayal in calling Dika a “traitor” comes from a sense of abandonment seems much more plausible now - during the snippet of flashback, the interaction between Dika and Chadok seemed...fine. Chadok seemed calmer and less severe than he does in the present, even looking like he could crack a smile or something crazy like that

What we should keep in mind - something happened between Dika and Chadok - my bet is some dirty truth was uncovered in relation to the rules; Mr. Sit mentioned something of the like during his conversation with Ayan, but no one seems to know exactly what went down

Thua What we know so far - definitely does not have a good relationship with his step-father who is abrasive and verbally abusive (what we’ve seen on screen); Thua’s mother does seem to be trying to step in where she can - Thua abruptly left the car after his step-dad snapped at him and didn’t stop even when his mother called after him; someone is nearing a breaking point - despite not being the direct target of harassment about his sexuality, witnessing that bigotry immediately after being yelled at by his step-dad clearly affected Thua as well

What we should keep in mind - previously stated that he didn’t want to see Kan get hurt again - but it looks like he will have to, considering the ep6 preview - Thua seems to understand Ayan with more ease than his other classmates, especially for someone who has not had all that much on screen interaction with Ayan thus far, which makes me continue to think that they knew each other before Ayan started going to Suppalo - “it would be nice to disappear” i want to know how long Thua’s been thinking like this and the context in which he means disappear

Kan What we know so far - Kan has made progress! he did not immediately release Thua’s hand when other students saw them holding hands - an action that Kan initiated as well! in fact, it was Thua who let go of Kan’s hand, likely thinking that Kan would be uncomfortable - only for Kan to look frustrated and disappointed after Thua walked away (i’m curious what the catalyst for this change was) - Kan’s strong belief in the curse continues to be his go-to explanation for when things start going wrong around the school

What we should keep in mind - he is the only person we are shown on screen having seen/read Thua’s post, a scene which is immediately followed by “Bruce Wayne” contacting Thua; strong suspicion here that Kan is Bruce Wayne; if he is “Bruce” my guess is it’s an attempt at getting Thua to open up under the guise of anonymity - continuation note from previous one but considering we had a scene where the World Remembers trio was being very publicly harassed for being queer, Thua being glared at for holding hands with Kan, and the mounting tension of the curse, I would not be surprised if the reason Kan looks roughed up in the preview is because someone says the wrong thing to either him or Thua and Kan snaps

Wat What we know so far - actively sought out Teacher Sani to tell her that she was right to guess he wasn’t enjoying class - that he actually liked film; and she showed him that she was listening and talked to him briefly about his interests, thereby giving Wat a supportive adult in his corner - Wat’s mediator personality shines again in the phone scene where he waits to see how Akk will react first, and then explains his thoughts to Akk and Kan, acting as a balm to Akk’s more direct explanation; then again after Akk and Ayan’s fight when he talks Kan down from pushing Akk for answers

What we should keep in mind - Wat told Teacher Sani that he had spoken to his family about his film interest and was told it wasn’t a stable career; however when he was talking to Kan and Akk about a communication arts degree, he implied that they would never entertain the idea and made it sound like he had never brought it up and was assuming based off what he knows; i’m curious if anyone in his family has actually told him not to pursue film - Teacher Sani told him “you don’t always need to do what others expect of you” and i’m excited to see how that’s going to affect his growth going forward

The Curse

- we don’t get much new information on the curse in this episode, but in his emotionally driven rage, Ayan asked if the students wanted to know the truth about Suppalo’s curse - something that Akk tried to follow up on later, but Ayan didn’t give him a clear answer; the implication that Ayan already knows what’s going on and is only here to prove and expose it was not something I was expecting, but is definitely intriguing given his connection to Dika - Kan brings up the curse in the meeting with Teacher Sani about the World Remembers group, stating that there is almost a formula/legend for how the curse manifests which is...a highly concerning detail especially considering one involves literal burning (how has this been left unchecked what the fuck)

Things to Follow Up On

- the unknown figure from ep1 and ep2 (now appearing as the journal thief in ep5) is still unidentified; i think there was an attempt at misdirection by utilizing the framing they did with Akk at the end of the episode, but Akk does not have the journal and in the shots from ep2 the figure does not appear to be wearing a prefect armband - Namo was the one pretending to be a prefect in ep1 and then was the one to tell Thua that Kan got into a fight in ep2; also worth noting his actor is in the opening credits so best to keep an eye on him - the jacket sniff: Ayan gave Akk his hoodie which of course made me absolutely insane <3 - ep2 4/4 timestamp 2:15 - unfortunately no follow up - still no follow-up on the whispered conversation between Ayan and Thua, but I hold out hope - the individual who posted the protest video still has yet to be identified - Teacher Sani being willing to pay attention to the students and listen to them: further fulfilled by her interaction with Wat this episode, but I want to keep an eye on her progression throughout the show because Chadok was notably absent from this episode giving her that leeway to be a little softer; also there was a shot of her walking around the school at night at the end of the episode? - the first crack in the foundation of Akk’s belief: the cracks are spreading as evidenced by his leniency with the phone situation - Ayan’s emotional vulnerability in front of Akk: we didn’t see much of this in the same context as the last couple episode, but we did see Ayan thank Akk for stepping in and diverting the teachers from continuing to harass Ayan in class, as well as Ayan acknowledging that he reacted on emotion instead of logic when his journal went missing (though it appears from the preview for ep6 we’ll be getting some VERY emotionally vulnerable scenes between Akk and Ayan) - none of the students at Suppalo knowing Dika’s dead: AKK THE ANSWER IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!! g o s h when Ayan changed the subject and immediately walked away, unable to tell Akk the truth about Dika? I was screaming <3 - Mr. Sit (the janitor) is now on my suspect list...previously he was in the spotlight for the van incident in ep1, then he gave Ayan the information about the rumor concerning Dika, and has interrupted charged moments between Ayan and Akk at least three times now, the last of which he seemed to have purposefully done so and did not look thrilled before he walked away...the vibes are off - Akk: no way. i don’t want to be like you. Ayan: how do you know? you haven’t even tried. Me: alright okay okay okay alright why am i emotional i’ve got my eye on you - Akk: why does it have to be you Me: elaborate - this whole time I’ve been curious about the World Remembers group and why they’re still at Suppalo if they’re clearly suffering so much; this episode gives the insight that they’ve tried to speak out about it to the teachers and to their families and friends and have been ignored/abandoned in every direction; if anything happens to these kids I’m rioting <3 “i truly believe tomorrow will be better than this”

Recurring Themes

- this isn’t exactly recurring but goes sort of hand in hand with the theme of Akk pulling Ayan closer (aggressively) but during the cafe conversation this episode, I absolutely LOVED the detail of body language between Akk and Ayan where they seemed to push and pull toward one another based on who had the upper hand in the conversation. when Akk felt smug and “on top” he would lean against the table and exude this aura of knowing he was winning, until Ayan also leaned on the table and brandish the familiar barb of being incredibly comfortable with utilizing/weaponizing his sexuality for his social benefit, making Akk lean away until he could find his footing again. and there’s the detail that when they were on common ground, like when Ayan said “thank you” to Akk, they were both leaning back, creating a neutral space (perhaps I’m over explaining this but I noticed it on my first watch and thought it was cool) - every shot of Suppalo continues to have the building dominating the screen (maybe it’s just me, but the shots of the building this episode did seem like the angle was adjusted somewhat, perhaps implying something) - no martial arts flip but Akk was the one who threw the first punch in their fight and I’m still just waiting for the narrative-relevant scene of Ayan flipping Akk - not much in the way of sun and moon imagery but don’t think i missed the way Ayan’s face was reflecting the moonlight in that last shot <3

Favorite Shot From The Episode

emotionally charged interactions in tight spaces with your enemy who is slowly becoming something more are actually something that can be so personal

honorable mention (of course)
