YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS! Added to the list.

Ugh Fighter in the sauna scene also belongs on this list but alas I cannot fund the correct gif

Oh my, yes. Net is welcome.

To be fair, I'd be subby as hell for Nagumo Shoma. Damn.

Excellent. Put him in with my other trinkets.

Oh, yes. I see your vision. He's in the collection.

Heck yes!

Duang waiting for Qin's parents to leave before silently hugging him and offering nothing but comfort, no judgement or questions, just a hug that ends when Qin moved and then turning to distract him with excitement about everything else... it's so perfect, so beautiful, what a romance. To love someone enough to understand their silence and not ask for more? Absolutely perfect.

the 15 minutes thing is so gooooood. bc over and over again in the show qin tests duang in these ways. and now we know why. he’s testing him and pushing him to see if he’ll listen, to see if he will endure, to see if he will be spooked, to see if he’ll leave just as easy as tiw did. and time and time again duang doesn’t. and i love that here it’s no different. Qin is right, he hasn’t changed. he’s just found a person that works with him, that accepts that this is how he’s like. qin is not a man heartbroken and changed bc of a past experience. yes, it affects him, but he is naturally so many of the things we know about him. and there not things he should change or has to change to be loved and duang is again proof of that bc he loves him for the ways he is, their back and forths, their dynamic, the relationship they have is built on it. so of course this was never gonna be qin chasing after duang. no, the one thing duang could do that would break qin and show that he’s the same as what he’s experienced before is if he ran that easily. setting a test for duang and him failing would break him, not bc duang is at fault, but just bc of what it would mean. and it makes complete sense that even when hurt and feeling inadequate in a way he can’t articulate over a phone call, even when he runs away in fear, when set a test, of fucking course duang will do it bc he’d truly do anything. when given a chance, he’d never let qin down. as long as he’s breathing, he’d be there in 15 minutes. and it’s even more perfect that qin says he’d wait anyway bc that’s the whole fucking point. the tests are never to catch duang out, there not to assess if he’s good or bad, there not there to see if he’d fail bc qin would wait forever anyway, as long as he comes back. that’s all qin needs to know. that when he asks, duang will come. and even if duang needs space, needs time, like he does, it’s all ok, just as long as eventually they make it to each other.

do you know what gets me about duang with you?? the fact that there is no plot. i mean, the plot is them. the plot is just them getting together. that’s it. and the fact that it works so fucking well is such a testament to teetee and por bc they literally carry this show. it’s just them. and it says a lot when i could just watch them play these characters, live out their lives day by day, forever. it just hit me watching that ep, the montages of them just hanging out, eating together, walking around, just being. i could just watch that and be happy, bc they just are these characters and they do it so fucking well and i could literally never be sick of this dynamic. it’s insane. like the end. it’s just them being sickly sweet and in love and it should be so cringe!!! why isn’t it?!!!! why am I smiling and giggling!!!! why is it working so fucking well on all of us!!! what is this!!! scientists need to study it!!! actors need to study it!!! they’re just so insanely good I can’t even!!!!
