friend zone season 2:

Stud is still so gone for Earth, torn between deep friendship and this well known love for him. At this point I am sure he would do almost everything for Earth (except maybe listen, as in Pop’s case) and the cocky Stud is the most submissive being, following Earth with his eyes and heart, wherever he goes, as long as Earth gives him his attention.

This. Omfg, THIS! Stud wants to compliment Earth, tell him what he admires so much in him (he’d been told for years to be more like Earth and he probably envies him for that as much as he wants Earth, thinking he doesn’t deserve him), but Earth gets obviously uncomfortable.

Being viewed as soft and nice and good is a corner he drove himself into. It was always his strategy to stay hidden and be the most adapted guy. Maybe because he feared what might happen if he wasn’t. And then he met Stud and was equally envious as he was angry at Stud for daring to be so open about his everything. This was who he didn’t want to be, because it reminded him of his own secret. And when he met Sam, he seemed like the opposite of Stud and just what he wanted: softness, safety, peace and quiet.

But slowly we have seen him change and yes, he has always been fierce and had his own opinion, but now he realises he may not want the softness he yearned so much for back then. At least not right now. Sam is still his first boyfriend after six years and Earth has pushed himself into a corner without a real chance of trying out and experimenting and finding himself. His dreams (for his life, career and relationship) are changing and he’s slowly realising it. His talks with Sam might be good sometimes and they might be the most content of the couples, but in the end, they still fight a lot and it seems exhausting with their views so different and Earth constantly feeling as if he needs to prove himself. As if he needs to play this role. As he said to Sam’s colleague, Sam is his first boyfriend and that alone gives him some kind of safety. But maybe, just maybe, he doesn’t need this anymore. Maybe he wants to break free of it.

Seeing Stud next to him, who he’s always been connected to through friendship and some kind of sexual tension, who’s so cocky it annoys him, who looks at him like That?! It must be empowering, really. How deep his feelings for Stud go? I have no idea. That’s gonna be a surprise next week C.c

ACK! Stud’s surprise and Earth’s confidence, reveling in the fact that Stud still likes him and that Stud’s eyes are only on him. Because let’s be honest, he’s been pissed to know Stud was chasing Pop and about the thought of Stud actually liking Pop. Something more IS connecting them .

THIS! Earth perfectly fits in with the rest of their friend group. Not white or black, but grey, a complex character all over.

HOLY SMOKES! Kudos to Singto’s acting bc damn, he’s giving his all here and  I have goosebumps! The tension between them is truly mindbreaking and Stud is helpless in the face of Earth like this x.x
