Episode 2 of Be My Favorite not only lays out the time travel mechanic, but brings Kawi's character into sharper view. Fundamentally I think what we're seeing is someone who desperately wants to be taken care of. He wants someone to pet him and spoil him and lovingly buffet him out of his moodiness: the problem is he's A Guy, and guys aren't supposed to want that. He knows he's supposed to want a girlfriend and he DOES want to be loved, so he fixates on Pearmai because she's kind to him. He obsesses about his gift to her because he's supposed to be a provider. Every interaction he has with or about Pearmai is about the role he's supposed to be filling, and his gnawing awareness that he can't measure up to it. (He doesn't want to, but "can't" is easier to accept.)

Meanwhile here's Pisaeng, tall and handsome and extremely ready to take care of Kawi if Kawi will just pull the blanket off his head and let him. And Kawi's responding to it. For a guy with an inferiority complex about money, he's awfully quick to start demanding Pisaeng spoil him. If the competition for Pearmai's affection were at all real in his heart, buying her a gift with Pisaeng's money would be the last thing he'd do. Instead, already, the pretext of trying to win Pearmai is a means to let himself get closer to Pisaeng and let Pisaeng look after him.

I hope the show continues to lean on this dynamic because it's delicious to me.

Since no one seems to be teaching the kids this anymore:

Don't post anything with specific registration numbers on it, kids! This includes driver's licenses (we're so proud you can drive now, but don't show us your name, face, address, and driver number!), passports (travel is fun, but just post pictures of what you saw after the trip is over!), train/plane/concert/show tickets (see above!), or credit cards oh my god people are posting their entire credit card online that will put you in massive debt and screw your credit score for life please do not!!!

This has been a PSA from your concerned friend online. Please protect yourself. Some secrets are not only okay, but necessary.

AND!! And! This also includes posting pictures of barcodes, especially on boxes from things you’ve ordered from Amazon, UPS, etc etc etc.

Barcodes are scannable. I occasionally have to do this for clients at work, and no, I do not work for Amazon, FedEx or UPS or anything like that. At the very least, barcodes contain your home (shipping) address. Do not post images that show a straight on picture of a barcode - the picture of the barcode may or may not be scannable, by people who may or may not work for the company you ordered from.

And absolutely positively do not post pictures containing a tracking number! You don’t even need a barcode reader to decode that information.

And license plates. DO NOT POST photos of your car where your license or registration sticker are visible! This goes for friends' vehicles that might show up in your photos too. Don't post photos where your street number or house/apartment building number are visible and turn off geotagging/ location tagging for photos on your phone. The Internet Elders warn you about these things for really good reasons.

Specify in the tags please what species or breed of animal you would choose as a witches familiar if the most obvious were off the table

Fuck a blog type, reblog, this matters.

"I’ve heard many Black men (both trans and cis) share that they’re privy to a similar dynamic, with white women invading their physical space at work and at social events, rubbing up on their biceps, commenting on their attractiveness, and making sexual come-ons. White women seem to presume that because they are in a social category marked as higher-status and prized, it cannot be possible for a Black man not to want their advances. Think of how eagerly Lena Dunham expected sexual attention from Odell Beckham Junior, and how publicly she rebelled when she did not get it. Several trans men of color told me that after they transitioned, cis women began projecting inherent sexuality and aggression onto their bodies without their consent. “As soon as I started showing up to parties looking more masc, women started treating me like a living sex toy or a way for them to experiment,” said one. “I actually became less safe in public on testosterone, because now white women interpret anything I do as even more threatening,” another told me. One trans guy shared that after he became visibly trans, lots of cis female acquaintances began inviting him on one-on-one hangouts, where they’d get really cuddly and ask to take selfies with him. These women hadn’t ever been interested in getting close with him before. He says it felt dirty. Almost every time, the woman doing the tokenizing and objectification was white."

I don't believe Win is Jealous of Pharm

See that face. It's not jealous. He enjoys seeing Team and Pharm's friendship. Win's a caring brother, he's pleased to see the same type of caring behavior from Team. He is also happy to be able to report to His bestie, that Pharm is feeling better.

Also the sandwich thing? An excuse to get him to eat breakfast together! If there's no opening for Win to take, he'll make an opening.

Win is a tad possessive but that seems to be the norm. Look how Dean reacted to Pharm taking a picture with his very straight brother. He suddenly showed up at the dorm.

Riding in the car. He just wants to spend as much time with him as possible. An additional bonus if he can tease Team in the process. He is a sadist. He loves to put Team on the spot, loves to see him embarrassed.

Personally just not seeing where Win is jealous. 💜🌸🎶

Wrote that Win had a plan. Never wrote he was jealous, but since you mentioned it:

The entire school thought Team and Pharm were dating

And Win was always pressed about Pharm

Well, until..

"I bet you think this song is about you" 😒🙄

Pretty pictures that clearly show a Brat tamer and brat relationship. However, you can believe whatever you like. I didn't try to tell you otherwise 😏. I, however, don't see it. I see a Dom acting like a Dom with his brat.

Furthermore, it's never mentioned in the source. Aka, the book which I tend to follow when the show does. ✌️

Am I supposed to be bothered by being called tat? Though trust me, you aren't an ex. I only date kinksters. I prefer nuerodivergents that are on my level.

Honey, if the song had been about you. I would have added your name. Go head, though. Keep reblogging. I don't mind. It amuses me. You have what 400 count on your opinion, but you came skipping over here to stir some shit on a small count post. I mean. 👀👀👀 I will admit there is a resembles between you and Mayor. 🙃

Nobody said Team isn't jealous. Team is 100% jealous. He thinks Win is a fuck boy. We weren't even saying that Win can't be jealous. He wants all of Team's attention. We said that Win isn't jealous of Pharm. Like at all. Not even a little bit. And yes, there are more episodes still, and Win still won't be jealous of Pharm.

I tell you what. If Win says he is jealous of Pharm. I will make a post tagging you saying you are right @respectthepetty Can you do the same? Hmm.

If Win comes out and actually says he's jealous of Pharm, I will eat my arm. Not literally, but I will be surprised.

Win is a lot of things and has played into a lot of assumptions about the kind of person he is because it's easy, he just goes with the flow. He never stops Team from hanging out with Pharm. He never pulls Team away from his friends, be it the ABC gang or the stoplight trio. Win wants Team's attention and he wants it all the time.

So let me break down the scenes you included:

In the locker room, Win is asking about where the Leum Kluen came from because he can tell Team is excited and he already knows Team's love language is food. He asks for more information as a way to make Team open up to him about any part of his life.

In front of the charter bus, Win is verifying that this Pharm is the same one that Team is talking about and that he's the one that makes Team the food he's always eating. He's proving that he's paying attention and that he's invested. "But wait day," you might be thinking to yourself, "whenever Pharm goes to deliver the food bag to Dean, Win pulls Team into the bus away from Pharm. See it proves he's jealous!" Well you would be wrong. See Pharm is shy and Dean shares a look with Win before he turns to look at Pharm again. Win takes that as his cue to get Team tf outta there so that Dean can have his moment with the cute boy that cooks well. That's just bro code in action.

"Okay, but what about at the table where Win pulls Team away when he's teasing Pharm?" ANOTHER BRO CODE MOMENT! See, in a blink and you'll miss it moment, Win and Dean share a look as Team teases Pharm. Dean has been trying to get Pharm to recognize that he's allowed to like Dean and be affectionate with him. While it's cute that Team is teasing Pharm, and the soft smile on Dean and Win's face prove they think so, he's also making him clam up, the opposite of Dean wants. Enter BFF Win who is there to save the day.

"But none of that explains the way Win pulls Team away from Pharm's room while they're on that trip." Oh you sweet summer child. So let's play a game of imagination shall we? Imagine that your best friend is dating the captain of the swim team, a team you're on, and that the team is taking a relaxing trip to celebrate the end of the season. The captain uses his position to bring your best friend on the trip and it becomes a sweet little getaway that almost feels like a lovers trip for the two of them. Now keep imagining that you, as the best friend on the swim team knowing that your best friend is very shy and timid and dating the captain of the swim team, has just watched your friend and his boyfriend leave the dinner table early and your teammates have gotten you drunk. You are protective and want to make sure your best friend is okay so you stumble your way towards their room and end up half asleep outside their door where they are definitely enjoying the privacy and being romantic with their clothes off. Enter your sometimes lover who is himself the co-captain of the swim team and who knows that even though your drunk self has the right intentions, if you stick around and happen to hear your best friend and his boyfriend getting intimate with each other, is totally going to just break your brain, hauls you up and off back to your room where you will be safe from hearing them get very intimately acquainted. Does that sound like jealously to you?

Now there are plenty of other times that Win watches Team and Pharm interact with fond amusement, the morning after Team gets drunk and ends up outside their room on that trip is one of them. I'd be happy to list them all out for you if you like, but really the moral of the story here is, Win is never jealous of Team and Pharm's friendship. He has no reason to be and nothing he's done has ever hinted at that. Please feel free to come back and ask if you're still confused @respectthepetty. I'm always happy to explain the obvious.

Honey and Sweet Summer Child here reporting for duty!

First, let me apologize for thinking a post that argued all the same points I made in my post in the same exact order I argued them was about my post. My error. But Fun Fact: Warren Betty thought Carly's Simon's "You're So Vain", the song you're referencing, was about him, but Simon didn't admit that it was about him until forty years later.

Next, the Taylor Swift reference was really about Taylor Swift's exes not knowing if a song was about them much like this post. I have no clue how you feel about Taylor Swift but guessing by your response, you were not invested in the debacle that was that Ticketmaster pre-sale last week. Again, my error. But out of all of Swift's exes, I was hoping more for a Joe Jonas, so being a John Mayor kind of hurts. I'm going to reflect on that.

Now, I doubt you'll have to tag me in a post or eat your arm off because as we all know from watching these shows, these characters won't openly state they are jealous, and mostly being jealous of a specific person.

Well, unless he is Ayan

But either way, we as the audience see the jealously regardless if the character confesses to it, which is why I see Team teasing Pharm, and Win placing Team in a choke hold because of it an act of jealously.

But you don't. You see it as Win trying to help Pharm. We see this differently, much like all of the other instances you and I have pointed out.

I see Win being jealous of not only Pharm, but most people who are close to Team because I view Win as being jealous of Team's friendly relationships because Team doesn't reach out to or rely on him the way he does his friends, and all of Team's friends are terrified of Win because of it, while you see it as Win being helpful.

*It's moments like this I wish I could create quality GIFs just so we could all witness Team's friends not being able to run away fast enough from Win in bite-size chunks*

I think it's obvious Win is jealous, mostly after seeing how quickly Team ran out of the meeting when he received the call from Pharm and stumbled upon this scene

But you don't.

It's good that you are amused by my responses and enthusiastically ready to explain to me what you see, but the only thing that should be obvious to all of us four responses deep into this is we see Win's behavior differently, so we are all really birdbox-ing our way through this show.

I'm basing it off of what I saw in Until We Meet Again, while you are basing it off of what you saw in that series and what you read in the novel . As we all stated, there are more episodes of this show, so we'll see how it plays out.

But remember, if Win magically says the exact words "I'm jealous of Pharm" or some resemblance of that, you won't have to tag me because the world would end right there from that level of communication and self awareness from a boy in a BL drama.

Unless it was Ayan.

Apology accepted cause you owe me and the other people who wrote that post one. We were literally in a group chat brainstorming our first coconuts post.

You weren't reblogged or tagged. Same points cause same show. Sorry to disappoint you that you aren't as important to me as I clearly am to you. I mean, I get it, I'm a Sadist and this shit is flirtatious foreplay for us, so it was a good move to make me aware of you. Still, Honey, next time, if you want attention, just ask for it. It might save you from wasting pictures and fun facts on someone who doesn't give a shit. 😘

Okay, I'm gonna try and give your posts two shits because I see how important it is to you. You clearly want and need my attention. Look at you coming in with communication 👏 Now if you'd only started here to begin with. It would have been more fun if you'd just reblogged with your post. Saying you wrote something similar with a different opinion. Then we could have had a discussion instead. I mean, I don't agree at all. You'd still be wrong, but hey. It is what it is.

It's all good, though. Like I said, reblog all you want. This shit just amuses me. You kinda cute when you mad. I admit to chuckling over Joe Jones and John Mayor comments.

So we are flirting then?

I wasn't sure the first time you called me honey, but I felt it the second time.

Glad this wasn't all for naught. Nothing is a waste if this was all foreplay and amusing.

If we keep this up for two weeks, maybe you'll want to subscribe. Four days down. Eight to go. (Even God took two day to rest). Fortune favors the thick-skinned, so I feel confident I can make it.

And unlike Win, I'm not prone to jealousy.

Fuck it! Let's do this! You have horrible theories and obsessive personality but good taste in music and bls. I mean that kind of has a foundation. Eh, I've flirted with worse.

Oh, shit! Honey, gets to you?! I was just being Southern, but okay then. At least now you are being honest with what you want.

Subscribe!?!? I just found out you liked me! You are already skipping and talking about commitment. You move fast, don't you.

I'm still here.

And you are here. It's only been four days!

You aren't jealous? Okay, but you possessive. Honey, you've been asking for my total and undivided attention, just like Win. I'm good with that as long as you aren't jealous of my friends, just like Win.

Ok, I ship it 😂

Hey now baby girl. I feel called out!

I’m just here… hanging around to catch all the deets

@lutawolf, You say I’m obsessive and possessive, but much like how you write about Win, I'm surprised you don't see it as passionate and attentive. What other behavior were you expecting when you dropped your preferences in the first reply?

I’m only human. When I see an opening like the one you gave me, I take it.

Regardless if I wanted your undivided attention,

I got it, and that’s what’s important. Let’s see if I can keep. I’m not the worst you ever flirted with, so I know I’m doing something right if you keep replying. I hate to disappoint. It’s the pleaser in me, and I see you want to please me too with not once but twice calling me “honey” in the same reply after I told you I liked it. We do have a good foundation no matter how it came about or what comes of it.

Mostly because it has, in fact, only been four days, but it feels like a lifetime doesn’t it? Strange that your post which seemed so similar to mine just happened to appear in by orbit as if fate wanted us to interact, and four days later, you’re calling me honey, and telling everyone how you like to come first…in our name. I may be moving quickly, but I have to keep up with the pace you set.

Like I wrote earlier, I’m not Win, so I’m not prone to jealously, especially of friends. The more the merrier! However, where did they go? I know I don’t intimidate them the way Win scares away all of Team’s friends, so maybe they are just giving us space the way you claim Win wanted Team to give Dean and Pharm. Did you put them in a choke hold too and drag them off? You didn’t have to. Obviously, unlike possessive Win, I like an audience.

Hey @respectthepetty sorry to get in your conversation with my darling Luta but I feel like I have been summoned even if unconsciously so let's clear the air a bit.

Please do continue your little bit of flirting, it is absolutely entertaining; but take care not to give it all too much to heart. You know, Luta can do all the flirting in the world, I know it's difficult to resist her Souther charm and harmless flirting never hurt anyone, but we all know where her heart truly lies.

But let's play this game a little bit more. Because you seem to think possessive, attentive and jealous may are just like the same feeling, but it's just at first glance, if you don't delve deep enough inside.

Because jealousy implies the possibility of something to be taken away, and that's not the case here. It would be impossible to do so. So why should jealousy be present when the superiority just shows itself clear for everyone to see? It's more that everyone recognises the claim and there is no reason to dispute it. Friendship and love live on different planes, and recognising it is the sign of someone mature enough.

Now if we were arguing about being possessive, that's a topic different enough, wanting someone undivided attention, the burning need to invade their hours, their mind, their days. Fill it with enough of you that they can't see anybody's else in their heart except you. But to do that you need to open your heart, show yourself laid bare to be know and no hiding behind any facade.

So you see, I really think you should take care to use the right words when you do say something. Words have power, they can be harmonious melody or nails scratching on a mirror.

Up to you to choose how you want them to be

You addressed me. My, don't you learn quickly. You weren't joking when you said you were aiming to keep my interest were you.

Honeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I know it's a lot to read, but my first reply was just a snarky reply. I didn't know at that time you were actually trying to catch my attention. I just thought you were doing what your name suggested. I don't blame you, though. I have this effect. You are a little rough, though.

I mean, I had no choice but to come along for the ride.

"You say I’m obsessive and possessive, but much like how you write about Win, I'm surprised you don't see it as passionate and attentive." I actually do think these can be the same thing. Unlike, possessive and jealousy, which can be very different things. Doms are often possessive, I am but I'm not jealous.

I'll always reply as long as it's fun! If I get bored, though. Sorry! It's the ADHD. I have the attention span of a gnat sometimes.

But you have my attention right now. Just like you wanted. So enjoy it while you can!!! I hate to tell you this cause I know you want to be special, but I actually use nicknames and endearments for everyone. So you can hold the roll on the subscription. I got have a little more than this to be fully invested.

How did you miss my friends. Again, I know it's a lot to read, but they are all over this post. Even the platonic love of my life chimed in!!! Honey, put your glasses on.

See!!!! okay, I gotta go. I think it's a little early to sign with Xs and Os, but you used a lot of gifs implying you would like that. How bout a heart finger instead. 🤞

This is the most interesting thing I've read this week, thanks for the entertainment

Need help surviving this month and escaping this house

I'm honestly extremely anxious writing this and unsure of what to do. This is my previous post here. I had a very serious depressive episode in which I couldn't even get out of bed and it feels like since then things have just spiraled. I haven't made any money from my job the past month because first my depressive episode, and then I have had these really intense panic attacks that have made it difficult to work. I have started a new anti-depressant bc we found out which one is supposed to work from me but it is also giving me more anxiety (temporary side effect) and intense side effect (also temporary) that have added to the difficulty working. Because of that I haven't been able to move out of this horrible house, and I just feel the pressure mounting and making my mental health worse. It doesn't help that I am so behind on my bills, I am low on food and clean drinking water. The biggest thing today is my internet.

I need my internet to be able to do my job. I work from home, I have to be hard-wired in to be able to use my equipment, so I can't use a hotspot from my phone even. I have been pushing myself to work despite my anxiety, though taking frequent downtime if available through work to keep from burning myself out. But I can't work at all without internet. I need at least 180 dollars to pay the past due balance to get it turned back on. I also need help with groceries (out of clean drinking water and food), my phone bill, and keeping my power on. My mom is coming into town to help me do some title stuff with my car so I can sell it, which should help me move within the next week or two. Thank you everyone for your support through all this. TLDR; Have had spiraling mental health issues that have made it difficult for me to work, pay bills and move out of this house. Need help with internet and other things. Internet = $180 Power = $30/day Food = $60 Phone = $45 paypal.me/3dg3ydaddies $amethystpisces

Tonino Raić and Tina Smoljo are a young couple from Split, Croatia. Both of them are twenty two years of age. On the evening of Saturday, November 5, 2022, Tonino, Tina, their female puppy and a friend named Paško started their journey to Rotterdam in Tonino's black BMW. Pre-pandemic, Tonino was offered a better position by the company he works for, but the only catch was that the job offer would mean he would have to move from Croatia to the Netherlands. Due to world events, his move was delayed and would be taking place on the week of their disappearance. Tina and him decided she would move there with him and look for a job for herself once they settle in their new surroundings. The last known official sighting of them happened on the border between Croatia and Slovenia, which they successfully traveled through. This information is confirmed by their scanned documents at the border toll booths, meaning they passed the border legally. After that, they kept in touch with their families until 05:26am on Monday, November 7, 2022. Tonino sent the last message to his family at that time, telling them he would be getting back to them as soon as he changed the SIM card on his phone. From that moment on, there's been radio silence from all parties involved. There has been no phone activity, no social media activity, no bank nor card activity. Their devices are shut off. The families of Tonino and Tina grew increasingly worried after being unable to reach them. It's worthy of note that Tina's family members were the first to report her missing, and the date of her disappearance is stated as November 6, while Tonino's disappearance date was listed as November 7. When Tonino's parents went to report his disappearance to the police, they found out one shocking information - in the car with them on the Slovenian border was an alleged friend, Paško. If you're wondering why that is shocking - nobody knew Paško would be traveling with them. Neither their friends, nor their families. In fact, no one in their lives even knows the last name of the man traveling with them. The only thing that is known is that he lives in Solin. He hasn't been reported missing by his family, though officers know his identity (because all three of them were scanned together at the border) and are looking into the situation. As far as we know, all three of them are missing together. What worried the families especially is that Tonino is a bit of a tech guy so exchanging his phone's SIM card wouldn't have been a problem to him, and presumably either one of the three of them would've found a way to contact their loved ones by now, as the couple at least said they would. Before the trip, Tonino arranged to visit a cousin who lives in Germany while they were on their way to the Netherlands, but the cousin was left waiting and the visit never happened. German police forces haven't reported a single traffic accident in which a BMW car with Split registration was involved in, and none of the three missing people have been reported as arrested, either. Allegedly, but this is still unconfirmed, before their disappearance they were seen at a toll booth in Austria, after which they haven't been seen since. Croatian police and Interpol are all looking for them and coordinating the search together. Tonino Raić is 175-180 cm tall, with brown hair and brown eyes and is of medium body build. He was dressed in a white-and-red shirt and black sweatpants the last time he was seen. Tina Smoljo is 165 cm tall and despite her document photos showing her hair color as brown, as recent as late this summer she sported a dyed blonde look, and since it hasn't been reported what hair color she had at the time of her disappearance, she could've had either.

Apologies that this is so long, but three young people from my country have been missing since November 7, 2022 and I felt compelled to write this because there aren't enough sources in English for people in other European countries to read, and we don't know where exactly they've disappeared from but it could be Slovenia, Germany, Austria or the Netherlands so I feel it's important to get the story out there.

Please share this so we can get their story out there!

I've also shared my writeup (in first comment under the Reddit post) on r/MissingPersons so if any of you are from the above mentioned countries and are on Reddit and want to crosspost it to your country's main Reddit page, please do!
