So I started this post ages ago but forgot all about it and it's been sitting in my drafts but @dramas-vs-novels reminded me about it and so I give you my "why the fuck wasn't SeanMaitee a thing" rant.
--------------------
Me, after watching the Star in My Mind OS2 episodes: why aren't Sean and Maitee together and who is this dude (Nay/Ne?) apparently being paired with Sean???
You're telling me that SeanMaitee wasn't planned?! D<<<<
Exhibit 1: touchy boyfriend behaviour.
Exhibit 2: Attached at the crotch hip.
Exhibit 3: They're really just fucking with us, aren't they.
Exhibit 4 & 5:
Left screenshot: It's very much framed as (left to right) SeanMaitee and then Nay and Pong, then Noel.
Right screenshot: When Maitee says he's going to check on Typhoon, it very much is shot as if he's talking specifically to Sean. Sean even gives a "Mm" of acknowledgement, like Maitee was mainly telling him. It's very 'hey just letting [partner] know why I'm leaving without him' coded.
Exhibit 6: Maitee is channeling whiney spoiled boyfriend SO hard, its ridiculous.
Exhibit 7: They do this right after they show Kluen putting rice onto Dao's plate so IDK what this was if it wasn't blatant hinting at SeanMaitee being cannon.
Like, you cannot tell me that they weren't planned to be at least heavily implied endgame. This is my one gripe about SIMM.
(Yes, I know it's cuz WinnySatang became an official CP but!! STILL!! D:<<<<)
