Can you run another search on him? Or maybe, you check your pockets? You probably forgot that you put it in there.

DANGEROUS ROMANCE (2023) Episode 1

it’s only episode 2

okay so I have to throw my Only Friends thoughts/reactions into the void cause uhhhhh

Firstkhao, kings of making real life bleeergh kisses look hot.

Exhibit A : Chlorine

Exhibit B : Tobacco

Exhibit C (maybe ? Depends on how you feel about popsicles lol)

I gotta love that Boston is the one who is acting Mew’s best interest right now but not because he cares about Mew

But because he’s a little bitch who is jealous that Mew gets to be with Top when Boston wants to keep riding Top’s dick

why are you doing all of this sir!!!!

anyone else thinking of the seven deadly sins while watching only friends??? I mean, we have 7 main characters who all exemplify each of the sins at least a little bit, but some prevail a bit more than others.

We have Boston, who is the sluttiest of them all, but honestly? I think his pride will be his downfall. He can't handle rejection. He needs to be wanted, and he's proud of the fact that he's want-able. We already see him trying to screw over Mew and Top out of jealousy .. but I think it's really out of spite more than anything. Top rejected him for Mew, and he absolutely cannot stand the hit to his pride. Boston's excessive pride will be his downfall.

As for lust? I mean, we'll see next week what happens between Top and Boston, but I think that if Boston succeeds in convincing Top to fuck him again, it's going to be the driving wedge between him and Mew. Top's lust is going to be his downfall.

Ray is easy. Ray has a drinking problem. He drinks too much to the point where he blacks out, can't walk, etc. He's been called a "burden" multiple times by people because of his alcoholism. Ray's gluttony (aka drinking excessively) will probably lead to some sort of fallout or explosive confrontation between the friend group.

If I remember the trailers correctly, I think Nick's downfall will be his wrath. He has a sex tape of him and Boston (I don't think he's taped it yet tho??) and based on previews for ep 3, he becomes aware of the sexual relationship between Top and Boston. He is willing to use these things as blackmail in some shape or form to keep Boston around. I guarantee it.

Sand is a tough one to crack, but I think based on all the crying we've seen him do in the trailers, his envy of Ray and the love he has for Mew will be his destruction. He already said in ep 2 that sleeping with friends is like playing with fire. We already know he's going to catch (has already caught*) feelings, and he's not going to be able to stand idly by and watch the man he's falling in love with love another man who doesn't love him back. It's going to be messy as hell.

This one may be controversial, but Mew's deadly sin? Absolutely has got to be greed. He wants Top to be with him, and only him, and I'm sure he has to be aware of Ray's feelings to some degree, and yet actively ignores them because he wants to maintain a friendship with Ray, without caring how Ray hurts in the process. I think he's greedier than he lets on, and I'm interested to see how his character progresses.

We honestly haven't seen enough about Cheum yet (sadly), but I think her sin is sloth. She doesn't recognize that her friends are falling apart, or she just doesn't want to acknowledge it in order to keep the peace. Her inability to act in order to save her friend group may cause some problems in the long run.

What do yall think? Any one agree/disagree? I just had the thought and would love to hear others.

so who’s making the edit for p'jojo

I thought there was an interesting juxtaposition between Ray and Sand's homes. Both use the same color palette (blue/teal, cream, and brown). Both have music as the predominant decor (Sand's posters, Ray's albums).

But these similarities highlight their differences - specifically class differences. Sand's home looks lived in, a bit run down, the floor is scuffed, the paint is chipped. Ray's house is specifically designed to highlight his wealth, it's supposed to be elegant but it's also kind of soulless.

Sand's posters are stuck on the wall haphazardly as a cacophony of color to highlight Sand's favorite bands. Ray uses the records themselves as art, perfectly spaced and symmetrical. Sand's guitar is out and ready to be played. Ray has a full sound system, but how much does he really listen to his record collection, given that he immediately refers to them as his mother's, not his, and so there's probably some sadness attached to them. Ray's home is carefully crafted, but how much does it actually say about Ray's tastes and interests?

This is making me think of Moonlight Chicken, and its contrast between Heart's house and Li Ming's house (Rath Roongrueangtantisook was the cinematographer for both, I'm not sure who else on the production team) but instead of contrasting the locations with different colors, it uses the same colors to highlight the contrast.

So apparently YES, Sand touching Ray's tattoo will very much be a reoccurring thing.

top and mew out manipulating each other in the gayest game of 4D chess ever played

Top shows up and I want to punch him. He opens his mouth and I want to punch him more.

i have to say it. neo is EATING this entire show up like, the way boston has a voice exclusively for top and a completely different voice for nick.. like he ATE

Okay guys, what do you think! After the sequence with the "interviews" about Friends with Benefits, I am also relatively sure that Sand says from experience that people are playing with fire when they get involved in something like this. Therefore:

i hope that nick kills top violently
