It's The Special Episode Of Takara's Treasure, And We Have 💕shipper💕 In Our Midst!

I think the best part of KinnPorsche, and it really comes to mind with this latest episode, is that every character thinks they’re in a different genre and it’s the funniest thing watching it clash with the reality.

Kinn is just living his best rom-com life where he falls for his sassy but kind assistant bodyguard that he can no longer live with out.

Porsche is basically a YA novel where he falls for his sexy morally ambiguous love interest who’s secretly sweet but *gasp* his past has come to haunt him!

Pete thinks he’s in a dark psychological thriller where he must battle his inner demons and brooding but hot captor to maintain his humanity but it threatens to over take him at any moment as he is torn between his newly found dark desires and the reputation he prides himself on.

Vegas acts like he’s in gothic bodice ripper novel where his entire world becomes the kind, empathic heroine Pete and he will do anything to keep him to himself and Pete is going to help him overcome the truama of his past with his love.

Kim sees himself in this brooding noir style detective film where he must uncover the dark past of his family but oh no he finds himself falling for the pure and sweet ingénue Chay and must wrestle with the dangerous life he leads and the mission he’s devoted himself to and the love of his life

Porchay thought he’s living his Wattpad dream life where he meets his idol and gains his respect as he tutors him and they slowly develop a sweet friendship that turns into a heartfelt romance

They really demonstrate how all the characters are protagonists of their own story, and that’s how they make their decisions, based on the assumptions on the world around them. They think they know the story their in, and that’s the role they have taken, but the tragedy and the complications of these relationships is that they aren’t in a single genre story. They’re people, achingly human people, interacting with other complex people and what is salvation for one is a damnation for the other.

They aren’t in any specific genre (you know, beyond on the whole mafia thing) and that’s where the miscommunication happens, that’s how the drama unfolds, that’s how all these different romances keep missing each other, because they’re all operating on different wavelengths based on the story they think *THEY’RE* in and not stopping to really consider the other perspective.

It’s absolutely hilarious, it’s terribly tragic, it’s utterly beautiful and performed so well by the writers and the actors.

Deaf and differently-abled people in Thailand face tough barriers to education and employment - Thai Enquirer Current Affairs

Latest Thailand English Online News Deaf and differently-abled people in Thailand face tough barriers to education and employment Current Af

For anyone interested in more context for Heart's character, this article shines some light on the difficulties the deaf community faces in Thailand.

Excerpt for the busy:

There are 375,680 deaf individuals in Thailand according to the 2018 report by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security. On average, 94.79 percent of differently-abled people in Thailand had completed primary education, while only 2 percent further go on to complete secondary education. Undergraduate education amongst differently-abled people plummeted to a mere 0.35 percent, while those with postgraduate education dropped to an alarmingly low 0.26 percent. Needless to say, differently-abled individuals face a different set of barriers in the education system, making entry into the workplace a challenging one.

Vegas has to die...

*la petite mort (a little death, and just not the sexual kind), but a death nonetheless.

Episode 9 highlighted that Vegas is aware that his life is surrounded by death.

I joked last week that Pete would be the one to kill Vegas if Vegas kept up his behavior, but...

It will be Pete. Pete will kill Vegas.

While fighting with his dad, Gun smacks the book Vegas is reading on the ground, symbolizing not just the end of a childhood, but the end of being Gun's child.

The book is about an alien invasion that sacrifices humans' unique individuality, which reflects Vegas and his father's relationship. The book's overall theme is that in order for a metamorphosis to occur, the old form needs to die.

During that fight, Gun tells Vegas that he will never be the best in this life as he is right now

But Pete brings up something Porsche mentioned to Kinn before during their main vs. minor family competition conversation

Why can't Vegas just be...himself? Why does he have to be "Vegas, from the minor family, always under the main family"? Why does he have to be Vegas, the bad guy? Because he has been written that way by his family? Even on the phone with his dad, Vegas asks "Do you think I want to be here?!".

He doesn't but doesn't know how to escape. It's an incomprehensible aspiration. Korn tells Kinn that "in this business, once you get in, it's hard to get out" so how bad is it for someone born into it? The only escape is death.

Vegas has been shown to be the villain...for Pete (Gun is the actual protagonist of the series because everyone conflicts with him, even his own sons), but what happens when Pete, the hero of the story, doesn't see Vegas as a villain?

Khun's questioning of Porchay emphasized what has to happen in the storyline between the hero and the villain.

The bad guy, Vegas, has to die, so Pete, the hero, can live. But according to our hero, there are no absolutes, so *THIS* version of Vegas must die, not the whole being. In order for him to remove himself from "Vegas, from the minor family" and "Vegas, Gun's son", he must end *this* life, so he can meet Pete in the next one as two equals that share both good and bad instead of being consumed by one.

Even though Pete is the one being held hostage and tortured, the one who begins to die in this room is Vegas. When they have sex, Vegas will notice just how much of himself he has buried and what Pete, the one who knows exactly how it feels to be beat down but still sees the bright side, is awakening. He can't grow in the darkness, and Pete offers light.

Pete is killing some part of the Vegas that can't escape, but the final blow will come when the family's face each other. Vegas, once again carrying out his father's plans for the minor family against the main family, will realize his life is not his. Pete might not deliver the actual shot, but somehow Pete will be the reason that Vegas decides this version of himself can't continue to exist. Because before he can change, Vegas Theerapanyakul has to die.

*la petite mort -  an expression that means "the brief loss or weakening of consciousness" and in modern usage refers specifically to "the sensation of post orgasm as likened to death.
