I’m so ready for both of the main characters. I love that we are in Pik’s POV the entire pilot so we only see Jai how Pik sees him.

I love friends to lovers anything lol. Jai being touchy in the friendship is kinda like putting a mirror to my face. I love to hug, compliment, cuddle with my friends. I’m a big affectionate and touchy person. But Jai does  showed interest in Pik beyond how touchy a friendship can be: when Pik basically said that he found the one he likes, kissing Pik’s neck, and maybe anything in the background that we don’t see. 

I hope the upcoming series will show the playful flirting very good/best friends do because it would establish JaiPik’s dynamic (or at least on Jai’s side) immediately. Also because when Pik starts wondering if this is real or not, the angst will begin. Jai probably thinks that it’s just fun and games flirting with Pik (bc that’s the character we’re shown)

I think the neck kiss scene in the pilot (and I’ll assume they slept together bc they were drinking) will start their little friend with benefits thing. 

Do you guys think Jai would suggest their status to be friends with benefits? Or is it Pik? And do you think Jai/Pik agrees because that’s the only way they can attain some sort of intimate closeness with each other that they were too scared to cross to as just friends. Because the risk of losing a friend if a relationship fails is a legitimate worry.

Maybe it’s also on and off bc Jai still did date other people in the pilot. I kinda don’t want the reason be like “I’m using other people because I love you so much and can’t express that”. It would be compelling because that’s red flag behavior to use people’s feelings to conceal your own, and I love when characters aren’t sunshine and rainbows. Maybe Jai is truly fucking blind to Pik’s feelings because he uses intimacy with Pik and other people to shield himself from being emotionally intimate with others. 

Ahhh, I have so many theories about why the two are not dating yet😭

What do you guys think?

HI! I’m a junior(f) with a lease in a 2bedroom apartment in 1855 and will be back August 1st. I checked the bedroom size in my apartment and wanted to know if extra little furniture like bean chair, or extra makeup (maybe even snack) storage cart, or even closet organizers would fit? (I’m international student, so I gotta be mindful of what I buy since I most likely have to either sell those stuff afterwards or have them storage for the summer)

What‘s like the bedroom space and space management like for those who either living/lived in 1855 (or just would like to make suggestions)?

I want to maximize space in my bedroom so my bed is only for sleeping, my desk area is only for studying, etc etc. I despise clutter. it just throws me off.

I know I’ll be back in a month and will be in the apartment a month before school starts, but some decor/organizing/furniture advice would be nice!

Lemme know your thought! Thank you in advance!

Hey guys, I'm casually learning Chinese (Duolingo at first before moving to Airlearn). I love writing, no matter the language, so writing Chinese characters and recognizing characters visually have become a lot easier.

But lately, I've been distracted by pinyin in my learning materials, the more I review and whatnot. Especially when I'm not fully focused on learning, it makes me feel like I'm cheating myself by just looking at the pinyin and not the character itself.

I learned Korean and Japanese without any romanization because it tanked the experience and pronunciation for me. I guess it's the opposite for me with Chinese since it is more complex and pinyin sounds exactly like how the character is being read. Chinese being my 7th language, has lit-up fire under my ass because I'm a very ambitious person lol.

What are your experiences like?
