“I Couldn’t Find Him An Adopter So I Adopted Him. You Don’t Have To Worry Now.”

“let’s go into the water”

Thank you for waiting for me. And for having such honest ears.

The thing that has been stuck in my mind is the way you can literally see the moment when Pran realized just how much Pat loved him. I mean sure from all the things that Pat has already done for him, it should already be evident enough but still, you can see the look of realization in Pran's eyes when Pat suggested that he would post the status stating that they broke up just to make it easier for Pran. He's so taken aback from this idea because this is one of those telling moments where you see just how deep his love is.

As someone who has had feelings for one person for so long, them liking you back is a shock and you're always second guessing yourself and their feelings. There's always a constant fear that maybe one day they'll realise that you're not enough and they'll move on to someone better. But I think this is "THE MOMENT" where Pran understands that there's definitely no going back from this. Pat is as invested in this relationship as Pran, if not more.

He sees a man who's ready to be portrayed as the "heartbroken one" or "the one who got dumped" and does not give a damn if people make fun of him or tease him, just so that his boyfriend could get back with his friends. Pran, at this moment, finally gets it and that's why he reciprocates his feelings through Pat's love language, i.e. physical touch.

BAD BUDDY (2021) | EP6

good morning gays (x)

i know we all know how much pat considers pran's feelings and needs with their new relationship.

but the first thing i noticed when the curtain dropped and they had to face everyone in the theatre is that once pat processed what was happening, the first thing he did was to look at pran to see how HE was processing it all.

his first thought was to know how pran was feeling, how he is reacting so that he'd be able to know how to act himself.

i love that throughout the entire episode, we saw once more how this is a give and take relationship from both sides. they're both fairly new at this yet they try to understand the other, prioritize the other, they COMMUNICATE.

pat knows how much more difficult it is for pran to process their relationship (mostly because of their families and friends) although pran wants it as much as pat does.

i just thought it was a really nice detail that just showed once more how much of a walking green flag pat is and mostly how important pran's feelings are to him.

The fact that they’re openly discussing the spectrum of sexuality like this instead of completely ignoring the subject really shows that, once again, P’Aof is so intensional with his portrayal of LGBTQIA+ characters. This is why Bad Buddy really is more than just a BL, it’s a story of people falling in love and discovering who they are. Together.
