this episode, let's do our daily hydration for five.
Yes, Oh yes, yes, the double hydrate.
It's her birthday. Oh yeah.
In 2 days. I mean by the time you get this
it. It will be his birthday, yeah.
Her birthday celebration is going on right now.
Yes, it is. OK, so let's get.
Into this episode. Where unfortunately pick up
right where we left off. So we this episode starts with
the end of episode 3 where Big Nung is dropping off Little Nung
with. Chat.
And they have. To deal with this whole proposal
thing now again so. Yeah.
Big nung is like. Chet, what?
What are you doing? And he doesn't answer.
He just slowly pulls the ring away and stands up, telling her
that she doesn't have to give him an answer right now and he
can wait. But like I feel.
Like that was an answer in itself.
You would think. You would think.
Reacts like that. There is no way they're going to
say yes. But we already.
Established, he doesn't think. He.
But he's also not good at taking no for an answer, probably
because he doesn't listen to it. The fact that he has the
audacity to look confused. Like she dumped you once, like
why are you doing this? Didn't just dump him, she.
Ran. Away from him.
On their wedding. Day like remember chasing after
her chat we all saw it like and she was like cackling in that
taxi that was going God knows where like remember that chat
where did she go? That's no one ever.
We never found out anyway. The only person, I mean not the
only the person who has the right to be confused in the
scene is Big Nung. OK, because in her brain this
came out of nowhere. OK.
But honestly, like if you really watch the show, Chet has been
high key courting her in public like the whole show and she's
just been ignoring him. I mean, fair, right?
And then like in the last episode, she explicitly told him
do not cross lines with me. And here he is crossing the
biggest line you could possibly be crossing.
Like to your point and what we've said many times, Chet
doesn't actually listen to people when they talk to him.
Like he doesn't listen. He's one of those people that
comes into conversations with his mind already made-up, and
he's looking for you to confirm the decision he already made.
But he's not listening to you. And he will not take your input
into changing his own mind. He's just stuck in his mindset.
And he's like, yes, just confirm what I already thought.
And then when people don't confirm what he already thought,
he's like, he's the math meme where he's like, I don't
understand. Like, dude, it's not hard.
You just refuse to listen to literally anybody.
He doesn't listen. No, he doesn't.
And Big Dong knows this because, you know, And in this point,
he's also been in her life for half her life.
Yeah. Yeah.
Unfortunately, and now she's like, oh, I can definitely
answer you right now. I don't love you.
I never have. I love that big, big nun, the
woman who like evades questions and is silent.
I love how straightforward she is.
Like immediately she's like, no, let's just the answer is no,
Absolutely not, never. Not in a million years yet.
Like I love that she's just immediately, it's like,
absolutely not. Let's just end this.
We don't need to now you can't even be polite with this dude
because that's what we've been doing this entire show and it
just and nothing's working. I mean, this whole doesn't work
either. But anyway, none of it works.
All the tactics don't work. Yeah.
And during this whole exchange. Chet.
Looks hopeful about everything. And I don't understand how all
this can go down and he still looks hopeful.
He's just he's not listening. He's like, she's still standing
here and hasn't said no. But like, what if she did say
yes? What would their?
Life be like if they got married.
It wouldn't be. Happy.
I, I mean, I don't even want to think about that because what
about big Nog and little Nog? That's fucked up.
I used to sleep with my stepmother.
Like what the hell was that? No, I don't want to go there at
all or imagine that. I mean, I didn't think about
that. So.
Yeah, Caitlin, there's a lot of reasons this is not going to
work. That's the main reason it's not
going to work. Like Big Nung says she doesn't
love him. She's in love with his daughter
standing right next to her. Also confused.
Yeah. But when Big Nung says I have
never loved you, he finally seems to get that it's not going
to go his way, at least at least for today.
Right. And Bignung goes on to say that
if she did love him, he wouldn't have had to ask her to marry him
for a second time, which would that not be the biggest red flag
of all time? Seriously.
Like her being like don't is this a fake date chat?
Don't cross lines with me. I don't.
He just doesn't listen. He doesn't listen.
He doesn't look either, because she's really running away from
him. He's a fucking idiot.
I can't let's how stupid Chad is.
Yeah, this whole scene, I, I hate it, but I also kind of love
it. It's a mess.
It's just like the show. I love it.
I love the show. Nothing.
OK, I'm sorry. We're how many other shows in
and like, this is still the best one.
We're watching like 5 right now anyway.
Yeah, this is still the best one.
That's everything. While Big Nung is saying all
this, little Nung gets this coy smile that says tell him babe.
But obviously Chuck can't know that she is happy about this, so
she plays it off while looking away into this guy, 'cause I
love her face. If you just watch her, she's
like, yeah, I just. She's really good.
She's really great at these like little reactions.
I love her faces. Yeah.
Good job, Yoko. Yeah, I love this one in
particular because. OK, so what's happening in the
scene? Basically, Big Nung is saying I
can't marry you because I don't love you.
So like, Little Nung is like, well, she loves me, which means
marriage is definitely on the table.
So basically, Big Nung just admitted one of her, like,
stipulations for marriage is I have to be in love with you.
And then she's like, perfect. You're in love with me.
You can see it from space. So that means marriage is on the
table for real. Remember I floated that out in
your apartment and see one after I found out you could cook.
And I was like, we're getting married after I graduate.
Now she's like, that's actually a possibility now.
So I that's why she's really smiling.
She's like, oh, shit, yeah, it's going to be me.
Yeah. I mean, little one didn't have
to worry, though, about Chet seeing her being happy because
he wouldn't have noticed it. So continuing with Chet.
Chet has the audacity again. So much he, he.
Has so much. Audacity in general.
This is where Little Nun gets it from.
Yeah, this is where Little Nun gets it from.
This whole scene is audacity at its fine and stupidity.
Lulan doesn't get his stupidity. Thank God she did not inherit
that. Where those brains came from?
I don't know. Both her parents have stupidity.
OK, I know. Did they cancel each other out?
Those jeans, like where did she get her smarts from?
I don't, I don't know. Gene for smarts, clearly.
OK, but Chet says that he thought it would be good for
them because he still loves her. Oh my God.
Translation. It would be good for him because
he still wants to use her. Like, no world, no part of this
would be good for Big Numb. Like literally like, OK, So what
I can't stand is that apparently, like, no is not good
enough answer for Chet. So like, he keeps going because
for some reason, I think he's honestly confused by her.
Like Big Nong's response to all of this because his rationale is
not necessarily like, it's about you and me, Big Nong.
He says, well, if we get married, then we're one big
happy family. You clearly love my daughter and
he's like, and I love you. So like, is that not enough love
to be the perfect family? And it's like, but then she
doesn't love you. That's the missing connection.
Like yeah, no, buddy, you're you're somehow gonna become the
father-in-law. Like that's it's, it's a whole
really weird dynamic that we have to have a board for.
But anyway. We're.
Not there yet. He can't seem to understand why
Big Nung doesn't like him. And we're not, we're not there
yet. That's gonna break his brain
later. That brain is just.
It doesn't. It's a mystery question is.
But when he. Says that Little Nung loves Big
Nung too. Little Nung's face looks like
she wants to scream. Bitch you don't know me.
I love she's he doesn't. I mean, I mean, she does love
her, but he doesn't actually know that because he never
actually talked to her about Big Nung before because I don't
think he actually had a conversation with her.
No, I don't think he ever has. OK, so then Chet goes into the
whole we can be a family thing and yes, they are going to be a
family, but he has to there. It's a long journey to that.
And little Nung speaks up though and tells him that she never
said she wanted Big Nung to be her mother.
Correct? No one has ever said that.
And big Nung has never said I want her to be my daughter
either. No one has ever said that.
No, they're very careful with their words.
She's looked very uncomfortable every time.
Like this type of thing is brought up cuz it's
uncomfortable and little numb's voice sounds so tired here
because usually she has so much energy and like everything out
of her mouth is excited but I mean she didn't get enough sleep
last night let's be real. But.
She's also exhausted having to constantly tell Chet that he is
wrong and needs to actually listen and talk to her, which is
exhausting for us to have to keep talking.
It's exhausting for everyone, except Chet apparently is fine
being trapped in this circle of hell that we're in with these
conversations. It's like he wakes up and he's
like. I know what I'm going to do.
He's stuck in Groundhog Day. Like you're right.
Does he have amnesia when it when he has conversations with
people and he just doesn't commit it to memory And he's
like, get little on your car. Got it.
Even though he just had this huge conversation with big on
which she's like, don't get her the car.
She doesn't want the fucking car.
And then he's like, Oh yeah, I got to get him and buy a car
today. Yeah, like it never happened.
It's like, dude, what? That's Jet.
Yeah.
So little Nung also goes on to tell him that she never wanted
him to treat her like a daughter too, which Chet has no response
for. Yep.
Like let us not forget how messy this whole situation actually is
though guys. Because no one wants to be here
except Chet, and he knows the least about what's going on.
So but after she says this, little Nung, OK, so she
basically says Chet like she speaks her mind very directly
and bluntly. And I think Little is emboldened
to do so because Big Nung is being very blunt to chat.
And it's not like in a way, you know, when you have to talk to
some men to be like, well, I'm trying to soften the blow.
And you do that. And it doesn't work because they
don't understand what you're saying.
And they're like, there's still hope.
And Big Nun's like, no, there is no hope.
You need to understand there is no hope.
It's not happening. I left you once.
I'm leaving you now. It's not there's nothing to
leave. There is no us.
Like get out of here. So while Big Nung is doing this,
Little Nung speaks her mind about her, about chat, where
she's like, I don't, I never asked you to be my dad.
I don't want you to be my dad. And when she says that, she
looks at Big Nong OK, Like she's expecting Big Nong to protest
this. Because in the past, Big Nong
explicitly told Little Nong to not say those things about Chet.
And here she is saying it directly, not just out loud, but
to Chet. So Little Nong's like, oh shit,
was that OK for me to say that 'cause I thought we were just
being honest right now. And like, if you look at Big
Nong, she looks at Lil Nong and it's not like disappointed or
anything. I think she's just also tired
and pissed off that chat never listens to anyone.
So I think she's like, I'll let it slide, Little Nong.
It's just that he doesn't get it.
Whatever. Like I guess speak your mind.
He'll forget about it tomorrow morning.
Exactly. He's not listening anyway, so
you might as well say whatever you're going to say.
He's not going to listen. Yeah.
So Little Nung then asks if Big Nung can just take her home.
And Big Nung looks to chat. And I think part of her wants
him to say anything. To Little Nung right now.
Just like say something this girl just told you how she is
feeling and I mean barely it was like one thing but just say
something to her that you understand or like you will try
something else. Ask her how she is feeling.
But he's a coward and he stays silent.
So big nung, big nung, big nung. Just.
Big Nung just unfortunately has to be like fine I'll get her out
of here. So she nods her head and tells
him to excuse them. And Chet tries to get Big Nung
to stay because he says hold on, but he directs it towards her
and not Little Nung. And it's interesting that he
only says something when Big Nung is about to leave and
doesn't address his daughter at all.
Like this whole thing just reiterates that he doesn't
really care about his daughter. It's all about appearances.
I mean, yeah, Big Nung is all about appearances for him as
well 'cause I'm sure he doesn't actually love her.
No, he's really comfortable with using Little Nung 'cause
remember, why are we here? Little Nung is the excuse to
marry Big Nung because he's like, I love you.
And Big Nung's like, well, I don't love you.
And he's like, OK, but she loves you and I know you love her.
So like, do it for her because you guys have a have a bond like
and then I can get both of you. And then so again, he doesn't
care about little nun. He's fine with using her as a
prop to get what he wants. So like the whole thing he's
after is not so little nun can have a mother figure.
It's so that he can get big nun and he's using her as an excuse
even. All right, pretend like the
relationship doesn't exist. Even if they wanted a mother
daughter relationship, OK, They didn't need Chet.
That's what I mean. Like, he's not.
He is not in this equation no matter what.
Yeah, even if the nuns weren't romantically involved with each
other like this. Also, like marrying you to
officially be somebody's stepmother, also not a reason to
get married. Like it's like this still would
end up the same way. Like big nun would still be
like, no, what the hell do I need to marry you for?
We're doing just fine. Yeah.
Life was great before you came in.
Right. But like, to your point, it's
like this is this scene is just more evidence that, like, Chet
really doesn't care about either of them.
He just cares about himself. And he's just trying to use
everybody to get what he wants. Yeah.
And he's trying to stop them. To.
Basically keep them there and Big Nung says that they'll just
talk later because it seems like they won't be able to talk it
out today because I mean, any day, but definitely not talking.
Talking it out requires that one part both parties are listening.
But so that was never going to happen.
So when the nuns walk away, they leave a very confused chat bot
because he doesn't understand what just happened because he's
not listening to anybody. He's like, well, I laid out the
perfect argument. I don't understand why this
didn't work out. Meanwhile, he didn't listen to
big nun being like, I don't love you and that's my number one
requirement for marriage. And then little Nung who's like,
I don't want you in my life period.
And he didn't hear any of that. He just was like I said, all the
right things. Why didn't I get?
Why didn't I get the Princess? I don't understand.
The other thing they leave behind though, which is
important to note, is Little Dog's luggage.
Yes, that will be. Important also note there's very
dramatic music playing while all this is going so dramatic.
It's the most dramatic music in the show.
Oh my gosh, so. It's not necessary because,
like, this scene was anticlimactic because, like, we
knew she wasn't gonna say yes. It should have been like, I
don't know what exhausting music is, but it's exhausting.
It's like the Indians are dying at the end, Right.
And like, some kind of like, horn that just won't stop.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Then we cut to the nuns in the car, leaving whatever the hell
that was in their dust. Just like the wedding Chet,
remember that. No, you don't.
Literally. And the music immediately
changes to their happy lover music while Little Nung is busy
staring at Big Nung while Big Nung is driving.
And little Nung. Has the biggest smile on her
face and. I think I just.
It's hilarious, the music 'cause it's so quick to change to the
happy music too. It's just a very funny contrast
and it just shows that they're happy to get there and they
don't need anybody else. Literally.
They don't really. I mean, they do, but they don't.
Yeah. And little Nung's like, you're
so cool. And Big Nung starts looking
around, not knowing how to take this compliment and ask about
what. And little Nung.
Loved how she rejected her dad so firmly.
I mean, she's been doing. That.
Since day one. I.
Know. But she's also been trying to do
it gently for a very long time. But obviously that wasn't
working. So it has to come to this.
I mean, was like running out on the 1st wedding.
Gentle like she has been rejecting like it in all manners
once little Nung came into the situation.
I do it gently because for little Nung's sake.
But I it's not. Yeah.
Nothing's working with this man, just shake it literally.
And he's almost unconscious. But I mean, if Little Nung
thinks that Big Nung's rejection is hot, so be it.
Yeah, no, I love when she's, like, rejecting my father in
front of me is hot, ma'am, which, yes, I agree to hydrate
for all of that. That was lovely.
And basically Big Nung's response is, well, your father's
a bigger dumb ass than my sister, so, like, it's going to
take a while. OK, Sorry that that caught me
off guard. And then Bing Nung says again.
Well, we're all thinking she doesn't love him, so how could
she marry him? And little known as smirks and
says, that's right, the one you love is sitting right here.
They're both smiling and flirting throughout the scene
and it's just so cute. I love seeing them be together
because their relationship, we've said before, is like very
secure in the fact that they we know that they love each other.
It's all these stupid external factors that are trying to keep
them apart. I mean, that's that's the drama.
That's the drama. Yeah.
So like basically what Little Nung is doing, I like this
conversation because what Little Nung is doing, cuz again, she
got the Intel from the prior scene where Big Nung is like, I
can't marry you. I don't love you.
And Little Nung is like perfect. File that away.
So what she's doing is she's dangling the bait of like Big
Nung's admittance in the prior scene where you said, you know,
you you won't marry somebody unless you're in love with them
and you're in love with me. So she's like, what are you
going to do about that big nun? She's like dangling that bait
and then points out like, yeah, yeah, you love me.
And then so little Nung, the Big Nung whisperer is putting out
again, this is one of those things I've brought this up
before. They never actually talk
directly about their own relationship.
Like for all the communicating they do, they never actually
talk about what is this, what are we, where are we headed?
They never have that direct conversation, but they have
conversations like this where they're basically talking about
it in more of an organic way or just like comes up and they just
kind of talk about it, but never like have a Direct Line by line
conversation, which like that's real life.
So I do love this because Little Nung is like testing the waters
to be like, can we get married one day without directly asking
Big Nung that 'cause you can't directly ask Big Nung big scary
questions, 'cause she'll get scared and like go into her
shell like a turtle, right? Because like at this point,
Lulong is confident that the answer is yes, Big Nong is
thinking about marrying her one day.
But like, she wants to see Big Nong's reaction for herself
because validation. And that's fun.
I'm picturing, I'm picturing them as a Thai version of
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles now.
Don't know why contain the turtle thing.
I was just thinking, like, I could see her as a turtle.
All right, No more animal metaphors for me.
OK, So what's Big Nung's response?
So she makes eye contact with Little Nung and smiles, holds it
for a second and then looks off into the distance very briefly.
And she's got this, like, dreamy look on her face, like she's
picturing the future scenario that Little Nung is throwing out
there, and she's happy about it. So perhaps Big Nung hasn't quite
thought this all the way through.
But like, here's Little Nung basically implying marry me and
here's big, big, big nose response is to process it and
like think about it and she seems happy about it for like a
minute, but then that's big and scary and like they have a
million hurdles to get over before they can even get to that
point. Like getting rid of.
Her dad and. All this nonsense.
So then that's scary. So big.
What does big nun do? She gay panics in the most
ridiculous way. So what does she do, Caitlyn?
She tries to play it off and says Who said?
I love you. Oh.
My God, you idiot. What the hell was last night,
Big dog, I swear to God. And like, OK, so she's she
denies that she loves little dog basically.
And then is visibly squirming this whole conversation in the
cars and little dog's looking at her and just like laughing for a
minute. But then like she goes from like
being smug and confident about the whole marriage thing to like
super pissed off because she's like, what the fuck kind of
answer is this bitch? Like I mean, very fair.
And I think a part of Little Nung starts to panic a tiny bit
because. Even though she.
Knows that Big Nung does in fact love her.
Like. What's?
That but. Big Nung finishes her teasing by
saying it's you who loved me. Yeah, that's what pissed off
Little Nung. She was like, are you fucking
serious? But it's basically throwing what
Little Nung does to her. Back at her.
And this is when Little Nung realizes she's just teasing,
teasing her back, and she tells Big Nung that she loves her just
so much, that it can be seen from Mars and that she's just in
denial. Yeah, I love that she says
you're in denial because Little Nung is directly addressing Big
Nung's behavioral patterns and calling her out.
This whole, these whole 2 scenes are about being as direct as
possible with people. Cuz like, yeah, Big Nung does
the thing where she evades stuff and then act plays dumb.
And Little Nung's like, no, you're just pretending you're in
denial about this, but you're not Like, let's be real.
And Big Nung, when she says this, Big Nung says nothing,
which means yes, she's trying to cling to her denial.
And meanwhile she's still squirming in the car seat while
she's driving. So little Nung is like, OK,
let's, why don't I tease the denial straight out of you?
So she leans across the console of the car while Big Nung's
driving and then turns on her bedroom voice.
Yes. Little.
Nung continues her teasing by asking her if she's only good at
saying I love you when they are in that moment.
At this at this point, Big Nung is probably thinking, girl, you
need to stop or else I'm going to have to pull this car over
and we're going to have a moment right now.
And I think little Nung would totally be fine with that.
Oh, absolutely. I think what Little Nung is
trying to point out really in this conversation is that again,
it's big. She's pointing out Big Nung's
behavioral patterns, which is when they are all alone, safe
behind closed doors. That's when Big Nung lets her
guard down. And when she does, Big Nung is a
lot braver in feeling her emotions, first of all, and then
openly expressing them. OK, So in in those moments, in
that moment, that's when Big Nung is able to voice her true
feelings out loud. That's when like she's
completely unguarded. So if you go back to the end of
the last episode where she's freaking out that big little
Nung disappeared, she finds little Nung.
She said all the things that were in her heart without even a
a seconds guess. Like she said all the things
immediately, but also where were they?
They were in Big Nung's house alone by themselves.
Like no one can interrupt them. Like she had little nothing
there, so she felt safer. Like that's when she can be
super vulnerable, OK. And so that's usually the
situation when they are about to be physically intimate as well.
So bottom line is like that's when Big Nung's most unguarded
tapping into her feelings and that's when she's able to tell
little Nung how she really feels like, not whatever this like in
this scene, they're coming off the cusp of Chet doing whatever.
So like big Nung doesn't feel super safe.
And so she's more guarded because she had to be guarded
around Chet. Even though she was being direct
with him, there's still a level of like emotional barrier that
she still has up from that situation.
So little Nung, of course, is teasing Big Nung now about her
pattern of behavior. And secretly, I think Little
Nung enjoys this because this pattern where like when they're
alone, that's in Big Nung is most Big Nung.
Because I think Little Nung secretly likes that Big Nung is
only 100% vulnerable with her. And she's the only person that
gets to see that, that that's special, right?
To be the only person that like sees that side of another human
being. So same reason why she can't
resist that cute voice that big nun does with big nun only does
it with her. So it's one of those other
things. So like while she's like, she's
like, I know you're like this, but you're only like it with me.
So I'm the only person who can call you out kind of thing.
But like, she can tease her about it 'cause she's like, I
know you mean it, but like, this is what you keep doing.
And so of course, and then Big Nong's old school.
So she's like, can you only do it when it's sexy times and Big
Doug's? Like, what?
No, like what? No, Like, don't say this is the
woman who thinks eating food in public is porn.
And here's Little Nong basically talking about you only say you
love me when we're both naked. And Little Big.
I was like, what? No, I've never been naked in my
life. What are you talking about?
That's denial. Yeah, that's what she's in
denial about. Yeah, literally.
So Big Nun changes the subject by asking her.
Don't you take this topic seriously?
I just got proposed to, but like, as if that was a serious
proposal. Serious.
Like, right, girl, I was taking that seriously.
No, this is Big Nun deflecting because she's embarrassed by
Little Nun being like, you do know we have sex with each
other, right? You do know that?
I was like, no, we don't. What are you talking?
See, like they ended the last. Episode with this proposal,
expecting us to think that that was a cliffhanger, but it
wasn't. That's what I'm saying.
I think it would be more of a cliffhanger.
If he was just playing with something in his pocket, we
didn't see the ring and we're like, Oh my God, what is he
going to do? Is a gun?
Yeah, Like, seriously, No, a dust drawer.
That's what should have happened.
He just goes into the just drawer.
No, not even that. If he had some cryptic line
where he's like he's where he's where it like some some double
up meaning where he basically says something where it applies
like he knows about them. That would have been a bigger
cliffhanger. And then it was really him
geared up for the proposal. Yes, that would have been like
that would have been a better cliffhanger.
But the proposal, he's like, he's like, we can't keep
ignoring this. It's time for us to confront
this head on like that. And then like it cuts and then
it opens in the next episode and he's like, we should get
married. And it's like what that?
Was he could have even. Said something like, we need to
talk about your guys's relationship, Right.
Right. Something like that, having them
look at each other. And then it could be like.
So I know you guys have an incredible bond and I'm still
love you, big nun. Will you marry me?
Right. Exactly.
Perfect. That would have been better,
yeah. But obviously.
I mean, the biggest shock would be no one took the years and
that would be the third season of them.
Whatever. Anyway, I don't even want to
think about it. Kayla, you froze at your face.
This is the most weird position. I was like I.
Was just froze I. Was like, you're right there,
Kayla, am I back? You're back.
You loaded, you're back. You're back.
I love it when it does that. OK, so of course Little Nung
doesn't take this seriously because she knows that Big Nung
is hers already and how could she let her marry someone else?
It was never ever, ever going to happen.
No no, no one takes chat seriously.
You know, that's big and then big nung's like.
Don't you feel shy or. Embarrassed when you say such
things? No.
I think that's you big. Nung literally she is projecting
projection, your honor, yes, she is the epitome of projection.
Yes, yes, she actually she she definitely is.
So I think the reason she is saying these things is that I
think big Nung is a little bit nervous that the proposal
happened in front of little Nung because like it she's the person
big Dong is dating and wants to marry someday deep down, whether
she's still in denial about that or not.
And I think she's worried on some level that like little Nog
is going to be mad slash jealous because like a little one gets
mad and jealous, you know, see Juan Viva, but Juan Viva is more
of a threat than Chet. So like, it's justified from the
very beginning, little Nung was not afraid of Chet.
Like, no, he was. He's just this like mosquito
that keeps coming around, correct?
He's annoying. He's not actually threatening.
Juan Viva's actually threatening, but like little nun
knows this proposal is bullshit because Big Nung is hers already
and because Big Nung just admitted a few seconds ago that
she will only marry someone she loves.
So like little nugs like what? That I am even more secure in
our relationship now This happened that I was a minute
ago. What do you mean, Big Nung?
You're the one who's spiraling because I'm on to you.
She's like, I'm so turned on right now.
No, I was not taking any of this literally.
She's like, I took it seriously when you said I need to be in
love with you somebody, before I marry them.
Yeah. So like, I again, a refreshing
part of the scene is that Lil Nung is more secure in their
relationship. So it's always nice when that
happens because usually it's her getting insecure and usually
it's like suitors taking big nun away from her.
And so here she's like, they're not this man is not a threat.
And I think that like big Nung very showed her very plainly in
the scene and in the prior scene with chat that like big Nung is
hers 100% and like little Nung needs that validation.
Yes, and. Little is.
Again, about taking the sorry, I feel like I said this.
No, all right, let me just do it.
OK, so then they get into this argument about like who's more
charming or seduct seduc seducing than the other and like
little Long's like I'm good at like seducing you.
And then big man's like we're in different leagues, bitch.
Oh, actually, she says that after.
And then little man's like, you're the one who's constantly
flustering me and making me squirm and like, all this shit
because like, here is big Non literally rejecting a marriage
proposal because she's in love with little Nung.
And like, how did she do it? She was all directed badass
about it. And then little Nung's like, you
expect me not to get turned on by this?
I don't. What are you saying?
Because, like, big Nung's getting all like, what do you
mean? Take this seriously?
Like, it's not what you think. Yeah, but this gives Big Nung
even more big gay energy. And she tells Little Nung that
they are in a different league. So which Little Nung says she
will fight back and yes, she will later in bed or in the car
right now. Let's see how this goes.
All right. Before she says this, though,
Big Nung not turns on that wicked charm and she leans
across the console. So she's meeting Little Nung
like at the midway point in the car.
So she's more into Little Nug space because that's how Little
Nug started this conversation where she leaned towards Big
Nun. And then Big Nug's like getting
more flustered. So she's doing it back because
Big Nung is starting it because like Little Nung has been in
control of this conversation for a while.
And Big Nung's like no, no, no, no.
And so she tried to take it back and like make Little Nug
flustered. So and we know from Big Nung's
like personality, she gets off on being in control with Little
Nung. And this is her showing Little
Nung that again. And little I love Little Nung's
face when like Big Nung does this.
She's like challenge accepted, which is 100% on brand for her.
And Big Nung knew that because big it's her.
Challenge Accepted face is one of my favorite ones 'cause we
see it multiple times. Yeah, no, it's good.
And like Big Nung likes that about her because she likes that
Lil Nung is challenges her constantly and is really
persistent. Like that's, I will stand by
that. That was one of the things that
attracted her to Lil Nung in the 1st place.
So like I, what I like about this is that even though they're
in like more of a secure relationship stage, I love that
that's they're, they keep that initial attraction going with
them. Like, like, that's they're
still, like, flirting based off of those principles, which I
like. Yeah.
And then Little Nung gets closer to Big Nung and playfully puts
her hand on Big Nung's shoulder. And she's really trying to get
Big Nung to have to pull this car over because, like, well,
let's remember, Big Nung is still driving.
While all this. Was going on yeah.
So this is like again 'cause like big nung was like, no, I'm
more basically said I'm more charming than you.
That's why she said we're in different leagues, like, And one
of them was like, so, yeah, OK, as if I can't charm the hell out
of you. And so that's what she's trying
to do. She's trying to prove that she
can fluster Big Nun more than Big Nun can fluster her.
And they're basically playing the flirting version of chicken,
the chicken game in that scene where, like, two people or two
cars come at each other and like, whoever chickens out the
last second before the collision, that's what they're
doing. I don't like that game that.
That's terrible. That's basically what they're
doing. So basically the nuns are trying
to provoke each other through flirting to see who has the most
charm. The winner makes the other one
so flustered slash embarrassed that they can't continue the
flirting. I wonder who's going to win.
Things aren't looking out for Big Nug at this moment, because
once Little Nung touches her arm and gives her those bedroom
eyes, Big Nung stiffens and like, leans away.
And then she's like, girl, how could you?
Like what are you doing? I'm driving.
She's I forgot. Like I have both of her lives in
my hands right now. Yeah, but that's like Big
Nung's. While true, it's also an excuse
to like, not be the flustered 1. So Lung UPS the game by stroking
Big Nung's shoulder and then it translates as like.
Are known, but if you listen to her, that's not what she says.
She says kuna and I think she's short.
I think like I tried to look it up and see what the hell she was
saying, but I think it's like a shortening of like the auntie
part. And I think what she's doing is
she's like saying a more intimate version of big nuns,
like the big nun name and making it more flirtatious and intimate
to fluster Big Nung even more. And the way she like says it, it
almost sounds the way like Mon says Kun Sam.
Like when she's speaking intimately with Sam, it's like
that very drawn out, like sing songy way she pronounces the
word because she's 100% trying to make it intimate to fluster
Big Nung even more because it's like clearly working because big
Nung says it again. She's like, bitch, I'm driving
and. Like.
And like, OK, but when she's doing this, Big Nung again shows
her hand. So Big Nung, I think this
version, like when she says her name like that, I think that's
like the bedroom name. And I think that Big Nung can't
handle it. And so when she says I'm
driving, she unconsciously leans closer to Big Nun, to Little
Nung. Whereas before when Little Nung
was like touching her and stuff, she was like leaning away.
She's like, don't do this. He or she leans into her.
So it's like big nun, did you need to do that?
You're making this worse on yourself.
This was unnecessary. So.
But it's proving Little Nung's point that like she, she does
have a charm that is capable of entrancing you.
And, you know, kudos to the masterful flirting like hydrate
for lesbian Jesus. Good job, little Nung.
Seriously, Little Nung says your heart is racing, isn't it?
And Big Nung's like, stop, as Little Nung is tracing her
fingers down Big Nung's arm. Like she is determined to get
this car to stop. Yeah, she's determined to prove
she's just as charming as Big Nung is.
She's like, I'm definitely not out of your league.
I'm gonna prove I'm definitely in your league, hence, like, I'm
worthy of you or whatever. And so Big Nung again, is
getting annoyed, quote UN quote, 'cause she's losing and is still
stroking her shoulder at this point, which is covered by her
sleeve. And she's like, am I good at
this? Big Nun doesn't answer that,
which means yes. And also you're too good at this
because the bitch is losing her shit.
If you watch her, like, squirming in the seat and then
she's like, like, I'm driving, I'm driving.
That's her only excuse. Valid, but still, her only.
And Lemon was like, well, what are you gonna do?
And while she says this little one UPS the flirting.
So she moves from tracing Big Nung's shoulder, which is
covered by clothing, to her forearm, which is not covered in
clothing. So the skin, the skin to skin
contact. If you watch, this is where this
level of intimacy is Big Nung's breaking point.
Yeah, she this time she doesn't respond by saying she's driving.
She just abruptly stops the car in the middle of the street, in
the middle of the street. She just stops the car and Lil
Nung at this because I don't think she thought Big Nung was
going to do this. She loses every ounce of
confidence she just had and all of her audacity goes flying out
the window because at this point she realizes oh shit, I'm not in
control of this like I thought I was because Daddy Nung shows up
and has now entered the chat and Big Nung turns on the intense
gay staring. She's like, you want to see my
charm? This is the thing I know you
can't resist. It's that intense gay staring
she does where she's not looking at anything.
Mind you, the woman's in the drivers seat.
They're in a highway wherever they are.
She's just staring at Little Dunk in a, in a car in the
middle of the road. How are there no cars behind
them honking or anything? Maybe they're on a private road.
I don't know. But like, yeah, this is wild.
And so Ashley does the intense gay staring.
She starts leading all the way across the console, across the
mid, you know, midpoint of the car, which forces Little one to
retreat into her seat. And I mean, she's startled but
also probably excited when she asks What are you doing?
Because let's be real. And all the time that Big Nung
has acted as little Nung private driver, she's never stopped the
car in the middle of the road. So, like, this is unsettling and
new. Yeah, this is new for.
Everybody. This is very new.
So to add to the confusion, Bignung OK.
When Lilnung retreats, Bignung grabs her and pulls her closer,
which completely throws off little Nung.
And she lets out this little like Yelp, like the surprise
noise almost like she's like oh shit like I'm in.
Yes you have all the like there's nothing I can do.
Like what am I gonna do? Cuz Daddy Nung's here.
And. Little Nung immediately pulls
back and says I won't do it again.
Like she's like. I want tomorrow and it is gonna
happen. Meanwhile, mind you, Big Nung
hasn't said a word. She's just staring at Little
Nung with this teasing smirk, like she's silently challenging
Little Nung to be as bold as she claims to be.
And she's like, basically with her eyes, she's like, you wanna
sing, dress and kiss me in public?
Well, here's your chance. Here's your chance to be
reckless in the middle of this highway.
And then Big Nung tells her that.
She thought she. Had more guts because that's
what little Nung was portraying this whole time.
Yes. And meanwhile little Nung's
doing nothing. She's just like, what is She's
like lost all the confidence and completely lost her like edge in
this conversation. And she's so flustered to the
point where she's speechless, which Lunung never shuts up.
So like that's the power of big Nung.
And what does she do? Her response is to retreat fully
into her seat and just think about what just happened.
And she's like very bashful. She looks.
So she's so flustered and she can't even handle this because I
think she's overwhelmed by just how forward and blunt Big Nung
was that it's just like, it's too much big gay energy for her.
Because think about it. The past 24 hours have been a
lifetime of big gay energy for Little Nung.
Like, she just saw Daddy Nung last night and here's Daddy Nung
in the morning. Daddy Nung was rejecting her
dad. Like, this is a lot, OK.
And then Big Nung was like, yes, I will only marry somebody I'm
in love with. And she knows that she's in love
with her. So like.
And now they're aggressively flirting in the middle of the
road like it's a lesbian Jesus miracle.
That little wrong is alive because that is a lot of big gay
energy in a 24 hour period. Let's that's a lot.
It is, but it's great for us. So.
They separate and then smile the rest of the car ride home
because I mean, they have to get somewhere.
Like they can't just stay in the middle of the road.
Yes, they cannot. They just can't.
And I think the victor of the flirt off is declared.
So congratulations, Big Nung. We never doubted you for a
second. No, never.
If anyone did.
No. Good job, Big Nung.
So they arrived back at the grandmother's house and Little
Nung immediately falls back into being an intimidated child.
Like, all confidence that we saw in that car is now gone.
And it's just another example of how she is repressed under her
grandmother's control and that the grandmother is trying to
gain back this control because she is outside waiting for them
and is upset because she expected Little Numb to be a
chat and not Big Numb. Like, I mean, that's the valid
though. Yeah.
No. Why is Big Numb doing here?
Yeah, like. I.
You're you're dead, but no one tells me anything, right?
Little Nung looks to Big Nung for help and she steps in saying
that she showed up to talk to Chet and Little Nung had asked
her to bring her home. We conveniently left out like
the proposal and like all that. Well, I think they were so
caught off guard by this question that again, like this
morning was a clusterfuck and nobody expected Chet to propose
and so nobody expected them to have to flee Chet's place
because he was being weird. So this was all unplanned.
So when the grandmother is like what?
Why are you both here together? And when Little Nun looks at Big
Nung, Big Nung balks because she really can't explain to Little
Nung's grandmother what happened last night 'cause I don't.
Did anyone tell her that she ran away?
And then what happened this morning?
So what happens Big Nung? It's Big Nung that instantly
lies to Little Nung's grandmother, which we know is
something that she hates to do. But this is her version of lying
by omission where she just leaves out information and lets
you assume and fill in the blanks, right?
So what does she say? She says like, oh, I dropped by
to talk to Chet so that little nun asked to come back with me
instead. Technically all of that is true.
That did happen, but she left out the part where like, you
know, literally everything that matters happened.
Like little Nung ran away from Chet.
Big Nung found her. They spent the night together,
Then they went to go see Chet. There was a proposal.
She but she's technically that this is lying by omission where
she's giving you pieces but not the full story.
And what's interesting about this scene is after big Nung
that tells this little Nung looks guilty.
Like, if you look at her, she looks really guilty as Big Nung
as spinning this lie, basically because I think she feels badly
for putting Big Nung in these positions where she's lying on
her behalf because Big Nung is not a person that likes lying it
She really doesn't like it. No.
And she's made that clear to Little Nung many times.
Yeah. And before she leaves, Big Nung
tells Little Nung to call her if anything comes up, and then she
respectfully dismisses herself. So how long till Little Nung
called her? Immediately.
Yeah, well, I so I was always like, why did she say this in
she's saying in front of the grandmother, like out loud.
Like she could have just texted her and been like, if something
weird happens, let me know. I think Big Nung is nervous.
That check called the grandmother and told her
everything that happened, particularly like the running
away part. And I think Big Nung is
concerned that the grandmother's going to confront Little Nung
privately because you would never manners say you would
never have this conversation in front of Big Nung, OK?
Because Big Nung is the queen, right?
And I think she's worried based on past experiences, that the
grandmother's going to hurt Little Nung.
So I think that's why she says out loud to Little Nung, if
anything happens, call me. So that one, Little Nung knows,
and two, so the grandmother knows.
And perhaps if the grandmother thinks a Little Nung will tell
Big Nung, the queen, the ML, if I do something, then maybe that
will change the grandmother's behavior when they're behind
closed doors and she won't do corporal punishment or whatever
she was going to do. Because if you watch Big Nung,
after she excuses herself, she gets in the car and then looks
at Little Nung and like, she looks concerned and scared, like
she doesn't want to leave Lil Dong.
And I think it's she's worried what the grandmother's going to
do. Yeah, exactly.
That's what I thought too, 'cause I was like, I mean, she
just definitely does not want to leave her right now.
No, I think she's worried, Chet. Cause Chet's snitching a bunch
of stuff to people. He's a little bitch.
So 'cause he listens to enough that he wants to and like he
remembers select things. He's a child.
Also, like I don't think big, not yet.
There's that. And also I know big Nung's like
I don't know who he called last night when she ran away.
Yeah. Like he like reasonably called
the grandmother and be like she with you like, you know what I
mean? Yeah, the grandmother definitely
would not be happy, right? Right.
So when Big Nung leaves, the grandmother and Little Nung head
inside the house and this is where the left luggage comes
back up. The grandmother questions where
Little Nung's bag is and as normal, a lie comes very easy to
Little Nung and she tells her that her dad will bring it by
later, which is true. That's lying by omission.
That's Big Nung style. Like he kind of has to return it
to her, but he didn't volunteer to do.
That and at this point. I didn't think she had bags.
I don't. I thought it was just like a.
Fool on lie. So I was like.
I didn't think he was going to come by at all and I'm like, I
hope she forgets. I feel like does he?
Drop it off. Because or would little Big Nun
go pick it up? I don't know.
Who knows? I don't think Big Nun wants to
see his ass. I don't think little Nun wants
her trip back. It's just like he'll bring it by
whenever. Just burn it.
Exactly. The grandmother then asked how
the trip was with her dad and little nun responds that she
isn't close to that family and she felt uncomfortable and
that's why she didn't want to stay there any longer.
And like, I mean, it was your first time meeting them and I
know Chet is their son, but they might be just decent people
because. I just.
Love how excited that grandmother was to meet her and
see her. It was so cute, but
unfortunately we have this grandmother, and this
grandmother scolds her and tells her she can't say things like
that again because other people blame her for her not teaching
Little Nung manners. And it's not because Little Nung
might like to have a relationship with them one day.
That's not like that's Big Nung's concern about everything.
It's because Little Nung's making the grandmother look bad
right now. And of course it's not what's
best for Little Nung because it never is.
It's not even like what's best for her.
It's like, think of the point of view.
The point of view is not oh, your happiness, it's my
happiness. You know what I mean?
It's about me projecting onto you versus, like, you and your
well-being, you know, like, and but to your point, like, yeah,
the first time you're going to meet these people is going to be
awkward. So, like, it was weird to force
her to spend the night with them, You know what I mean?
Like, if Chet actually gave a shit about introducing his
family to Lil Nung. It's like, have dinner at our
place. I wish.
I guess he did try to do a bunch of times and she kept saying no.
But I still think that they should have gone to a third
location. Right.
No, I agree. I agree.
But I, I think, like,
culturally, it's more like come to our home so we can take care
of you. It's like guest rights and all
that kind of stuff. It's impersonal to take people
to a restaurant. Like, you know what I mean?
It's whereas cooking is a form of love, you know?
So like, I continue to forget the differences.
Yeah, like, it's just, it's a cultural thing.
Like, I understand my culture's like that too.
So like, I think that's why they're, they're trying 'cause
they want to welcome her as a family member, not just show
somebody a good time kind of thing.
But like you are dealing with it, which Chet doesn't know,
'cause he doesn't care. But you are dealing with a very
introverted person who, you know, spent most of her life
isolated and like, it's hard for her.
And, you know, So I think that's why, like having big nun, like
quote a friend with her, maybe like invite folk with like, you
know, like give her a friend, like somebody to like, make her
confident. It doesn't poor folk.
But I know he would do it. Like let her bring a friend.
I mean, I would say UE, but he would never let her bring UE.
But like, you know what I mean? Like let her bring a friend.
But then it's like, it's not family, you know?
I know it gets complicated, but like, and he would never think
about that in the 1st place either.
Well, exactly. That's the problem.
Yeah, exactly. But you know, the to the
grandmother's point, like it like I understand where she's
coming from. She's like, it is not polite if
you're like trashing your family, you know what I mean?
She's like, also like I will get blamed for being the one who
didn't teach you. Regardless of how you feel,
though, I'm in trouble. You know what I mean?
She's like, we got to play the politics game here, but poor
little nun is just, she's tired over it.
You know? I don't blame her.
I don't believe her either. This was a lot.
Little Nung just says that she is sorry and she won't go next
time. And then, which is true, Yeah,
but then she corrects herself by saying she won't say it again,
but she definitely means she's not gonna go.
Again. Yeah, like, if you watch her in
this conversation, Little Nung is struggling to play the role
of, like, dutiful granddaughter because that's what the
grandmother expects. And to me, this is Big Nung's
impact because when she's with Big Nung, she's in a safe space
to express her feelings no matter what they are.
So even when they disagree, Little Nung still feels
comfortable with expressing herself to Big Nung.
And because she spends so much time with Big Nung, it's getting
harder for her to play this game of faking it that she's had to
play her entire life for her own, like, physical and
emotional well-being, you know. Yeah.
I mean, we've definitely seen it, especially in the second
season. Like the more time that she's
separated from this house, she's coming into her own person.
You see her more comfortable. She's more relaxed until we get
here into this house. Yeah.
No, exactly. It's it's like, you know, they
regress when they're in their childhood environments.
And also like it's not just the environment for little long.
The people in the environment are treating her like a child
and she's like, I am not a child anymore.
No, she is not a child. She's a full grown woman now.
Yeah, she is. The the grandmother tells her
that she is so stubborn and here stubborn just means that little
nun has her own thoughts and opinions, which is not allowed
in this house, right? She's just independent.
That is insert independent. And the grandmother makes things
worse by saying it would be good if Big No married her dad so she
could keep her under control. So did Chet call her right after
the proposal rejection? Maybe right, this is like, OK,
cuz like, all right. So little Nung's response to
this is a little fucking surprise that this is coming out
of her grandmother's. So I think this is the first
time that grandmother has ever said anything along these lines.
So I, I was also wondering, is Little Nung thinking in this
scene? Oh shit, did my dad call and
tell you about his plan to wife Big Nung?
Because little Nung does know he gossips with her grandmother.
So that's how the grandmother found out about UE.
So it's not implausible that he let the grandmother in on the on
the plan. All right.
It's not improbable that he, like Chet didn't call the
grandmother to talk about this because he tells her things.
And like, if you think about it, if this was any kind of
traditional whatever, like the Chet, Chet would have to talk to
like big Nung's relative to be like, I want to marry her, but
there's no relatives anymore. It's just big Nung.
And he of course, he doesn't tell Big Nung and he's not going
to go to Sam because he forgets Sam's a person.
So I think he's doing it in Little Nung's family because
like again, she's he's going to her family to be like, well, I'm
going to get a new wife. What do you think about me
wifing big? So like he would have to go to
elders to be like, are you cool with this plan?
So I think he probably did off screen be like, hey, I'm
planning on doing this. So maybe that's why the
grandmother's like, why are you guys here together?
I thought Chet. Was raising you.
It's like where? Where is Chet?
Like, if you're here, then he has to be here too.
And then like, OK, I like the rest of the wine because like,
why does the grandmother want Lil Nung to be under Big Nung's
dominion as stepmother? Because she's like, she needs to
get you under control. And it's like, ma'am, Big Nung
does have things under control when it comes to her, just not
in the way you think. Oh, the control is great.
The control has so much big energy, it's ridiculous.
And then since Little Nung has already spoke her mind to Chet
earlier, she's just going to continue that.
And she says that she never wants Big Nung to be her
stepmom. And the grandmother actually
looks surprised by this because from her view Big Nung is a
stand in mom for her and it seems like she likes having her
around. Like there's a reason why she
spends so much time with her. I mean it never crosses her mind
that they're lovers but but I do because like at the end of the
scene she looks genuinely confused.
And I do wonder what she is putting together when it comes
to Big Nung and Little Long because like think about it,
they showed up together when they weren't supposed to.
Little Nung has no luggage. Like this was all super
suspicious. They spend a lot of time
together. Little Nung has nobody she's
dating. Like I don't know, there's a lot
of weird shit going on and then like I don't know, I just
wonder. They're really not good at
subtlety either. It's just.
If anybody. Really.
Thought about it, everyone would know, correct?
Then we head over to the emotional support lesbians cause
Big Nung definitely needs emotional support right now.
Absolutely. And everything is so
overwhelming. So what do we do?
We must stare at water because that is what we do when life is
overwhelming. And by that I mean they are
sitting on the edge of Sam and Mon's pool.
And this is exactly why Sam insisted they have a pool for
moments like this. Yeah, I could just see them like
actually play like I need to. Look at.
Water. Yeah.
Sam's like the pool goes here and Ma's like we.
Don't even use the. Pool Sam.
Sam's like the pool goes here, Mon, Ma's like, OK, hold on.
No, Sam's like, remember that one night that we had in that
pool? We need a pool.
Pool goes there. Ma's like, all right, sure.
That was a good night. Go watch Gab.
That was the Mon boss episode. Yeah, Sam jokes that big nung
is. Hold on.
OK, so Sam jokes that big nung something.
Because she got. Proposed to by the same man
Twice. I mean, she is big Nung.
Like, I mean, she's big Nung. Yeah, like only twice.
Only twice again she ran away, never going to happen.
But they tells her that this is not the time to joke.
Sam is always joking around with her sister and she's like this
is not when I come to my emotional support lesbians, I
need you to talk to me, I need you to not be you for five
seconds. I'm really here to see Mon.
Yes, Mon. Are you taking patients today?
And she tells them that Chet is stubborn like again, he she ran
away, he still didn't learn. And she explains that she
rejected him again, but he still doesn't seem to understand
because he's chat. I was like, why are men like
this in general? Like we've seen so many of these
Thai girl up shows. Why are the men always like this
where they can't? They don't listen when the
rejection happens. And they're always like, it's
fine, I can wait forever for you to change your mind.
And the woman's like, I'm not gonna change my mind.
Can you move on and find happiness elsewhere?
Stop. Try to chase me.
I don't want you to chase me. Just go away.
Chase somebody else? I'm a lesser be like.
No, I must chase you. Who wins in that scenario?
Everybody loses, you know, Like that's toxic.
It is. Is this a common?
Thing like for men to just not take no for the answer.
Is this just the author? I mean, men are like this
everywhere where they don't take no for an answer, but like they
seem weirdly persistent about the marriage stuff here where
they're like, I'll wait forever because the elders want us to
marriage marry, which I understand the mentality.
But it's like then the men are unhappy too, because then
they're like in this position where like they're just waiting
and waiting and waiting and waiting and getting rejected
over and over. That can't be good for their
psyche, you know, Not that Chet is in that category.
He's just not listening to anybody.
But I mean, like in general, I'm just making a point like, like
they're unhappy too, you know, and like the women are like, can
you stop chasing me? I don't want this.
You don't want that. Like what are we doing?
Everybody like I. Don't know.
Why are we throwing that out there?
I don't expect an answer for that.
So Sam asks why she doesn't just tell him that she is dating
little Nung. It's just simple.
Just tell them that you're dating his daughter.
I don't know, Sam. When you were with Mon, why
didn't you just tell your grandmother you were dating Mon?
I like Sam. You've been through this, man.
Don't you remember? Do you have amnesia from gap
like in which both Mon and Big Dong shout at her that she can't
and like even? Mon's like.
What the hell are you? Talking about go inside your
advice right Sam just go that way right now.
They should have sent Sam out for snacks and be like, Sam, can
you go get us some snacks and spend money and Sam be like yes.
And then like Mon talks to big Monk because like Sam's not
helpful because she has amnesia from her own life.
This conversation. She has amnesia in this show
from her own life. From her own life.
But with. Mine also saying that she can't.
OK, so mind tells Sam that if Big Nung does tell them about
Little Nung, then Little Nung's family will be doomed.
And now Big Nung's fears are validated because even someone
on the outside of this family could see that this is the
issue. So it's just it's not making
things better. And she's like I'm right to feel
this right now. So This is why we're here.
Mind fix it. Yeah.
And it's it's interesting, but also not fully surprising that
it's Mon that points this out because Mon has the brain cell
always. But it's really again, I
baffling to me how much of an optimist Sam is in the scene
because basically Sam's mentality is like, oh, love will
conquer all, which has been little nong stance the whole
time. So she's more like in the
mindset of Little Nong when it comes to viewing the
relationship, whereas Mon and Big Nong are being pragmatic and
understand like the intricacies of navigating this relationship.
Again, how Sam has amnesia about her own relationship drama I
don't understand. But like, mom seems to remember
what the hell they went through to get where they are now.
I think Sam has like rose colored glasses for hindsight
where she's like, it was fine. It worked out man and man's
like, do you not remember dating?
You took 20 years off my life. Like, well, that's because man
was the one crying. I know.
Getting an end of. Was the one I was the one upset
constantly. Yeah.
And mine was the one, but also like it wasn't.
It's also interesting because Mon's family wasn't the problem.
It was Sam's family. So like really like Mon was in
Big Znong's position in Gap where she's like, if our
relationship comes out, it's going to cause issues with Sam's
family, which it did. And like Sam was always being
like the one. Like, I'll tell her eventually,
I'll tell my grandmother eventually.
And I'll tell Kirk. Eventually, fuck that guy.
How she tells Kirk it was always funny.
If you haven't seen Gab, that was all my favorite moments.
So she tells her fiance what the hell?
That was so funny. Anyway.
Sam was an asshole sometimes, but that was really fucking
funny. But yeah, so it's interesting
cuz like Mon was basically Nung in that relationship.
So she's like, I understand where Nung's coming from.
It's not as easy as being like, we're dating, deal with it.
Like, you have to ease people into it.
Like, how did Mon and Sam get through it?
They kind of had to ease the grandmother into it in a way to
like, it took a while to be like, yeah, we're dating for
real. And then, like, show the
grandmother how devoted they were, Like, all that kind of
stuff. So like I think Mon's like I
understand no one is trying to navigate it without it being so
explosive because in gap it was explosive because of Nung,
because of Nung. And like Nung came in guns blaze
and it made it explosive. But like here we are later where
Nung's like, OK, that was bad, let's try not to do that.
So I think Mon empathizes with Nung the most in this scene and
Sam just has amnesia. Sam.
Is the most comedic relief in this show.
She's so funny. I mean, same as the comedic
relief period. She's the comedic relief of Gab
too. She's really funny.
She's great. I mean, her best friend Jim, her
first dress is Jim, who would not be helpful in the scene.
No, my gosh, what would Jim's advice be?
Remember how Jim? Remember how Jim was always
like, if you're going to go see the grandmother, make sure
you're armed to the teeth? I think she'd give the same
advice. She'd be like, you want to go
tell them Just make sure you're armed to the teeth and ready for
a battle. It's like.
I'll have the alcohol ready for you when you get home, right?
I mean, they have alcohol in this scene.
So like Jim would have brought. I don't even know what she would
have brought to this. She'd be like, get everybody
else drunk and then tell there's not bad advice.
Actually, it might work very mean drunks, cuz that could be
counteractive. That could be a counter counter
productive. Yeah.
Anyway, I'll never know. Yeah.
So Big Nung explains to Sam that Chet would never accept it if
she were to tell him, and then brings up how he made a big deal
about Little Nung possibly dating UE.
I mean poor UE cause UE. Is now being used like UE
exists. Stop UE is a pawn in all of
this. UE is just a pawn.
But I think that big Nung because of all the things
because of her, you know what her and mom just expressed that
like I can't just flat out say it.
This is going to take time to ease people into this and big
Nung. We have seen her working
tirelessly to open Chet's mind about the queerness.
So first of all, he can be a loving father and actually
accept his queer daughter for who she is.
So a little one gets that acceptance, which is the only
thing she wants. Two, if he can accept Little
Nung's identity, then he can eventually accept Little Nung
being in a relationship with her.
And that way in big nuns when they're doing it quote the right
way, which is involving the family and knowing about them.
But like at this point, she can't just say that because
it'll explode. That's what happened in Gap.
So she's like, first of all, we have to deal with the fact that
you guys are homophobic and get you to not be homophobic and
then you can accept our relationship.
The problem is that Chet has proven to be useless time and
time again. And clearly at this point Chet
has influence over Little Nung's whole family.
Like the grandmother listens to him, which she shouldn't.
And Big Nung knows he's the linchpin to the family cuz he's
the head of he's the man, he's like the head of the family or
whatever. Even if he's not actually
fulfilling that role, like in the structure, that's who she
has to charm. And he's the one that if he she
can get him on board, he can get the grandmother on board.
Pinkfi is like in the picture, but not really because she's not
physically here. So she doesn't really hold as
much sway. Chet, unfortunately, is
physically in Thailand and is kind of like more of a pressing
matter. And also I feel like big guns
like she was into me. I feel like the homophobia is
less with her. We can work on her later.
The problem is Chet and then the grandmother.
OK, the other thing about this scene that's great is that while
she's talking to Mon and Sam, Big Nung openly admits to them
she is in a quote relationship with Little Nung.
She uses that word and you know who doesn't know Big Nung thinks
they are in a relationship, Little Nung.
But here she is telling her emotional support lesbians that
Little Nung's her girlfriend. That's what she's saying in this
scene. So put a pin in that, because
being done, Sam's house is a safe space and she feels
comfortable enough telling them that she hasn't told the
girlfriend yet. It's just it's like this.
Family to tell the sister before.
Girlfriend. Right, because it's too scary to
tell the girlfriend cuz that makes it real first so she could
tell the emotional support lesbians cuz this is a safe
space and they're being sad by a pool, which is fine right.
So then when then when the UE part comes up, I love that.
So when she asks Sam, she's like she says Sam, do you remember
UE? And when big nun says this, Sam
and Mon in unison both nod yes. Mon doesn't know UE.
Mon never met UE. So I love that Sam and Mon are
the same person in the scene. And they're both like, like,
Mon, she wasn't talking to you and it's all about UE.
Yeah. It implies that she knows UE
from Sam. But I just love that they're
both like, yes. And it's like, Ma, you never met
this moment. You never met UE.
Unless they had a really weird run in that we did not see.
I think that Sam came back from that really weird meeting with
UE. And she's like, Ma, you're never
going to believe me. Where Sam was left alone with
UE, Right. With UE, Right.
And they had that whole conversation that we made-up and
bought the drinks because Sam is awkward.
Yeah. Big Nung also says that if Chet
knew the truth, he might die from a heart attack.
Which I mean, maybe we should tell.
Him. I mean, if you get rid of him,
that would solve a lot of problems.
It really would. I love the cheese of the heart
attack though because like that was the grand man's trigger.
Like in Gap. So them tickers man.
I mean, that's. A a lot of the shows I'm
watching and you got to take care of your hearts, everyone.
But I think the reason she says this is that she's worried about
harming someone else based on her own selfish actions.
Like that's something she's been grappling with the whole time.
That was the song thing and the grand man stuff.
And so like, she's trying not to have history repeat itself
because of things that she's doing.
So like, it's admirable that she's like, thinking these
things and trying to be proactive about sticky
situations and not just, again, guns blazing.
Let me just take what I want. Fuck everybody else, you know?
Yeah, the growth is amazing, especially when you see from gap
to now. Yes.
Sam responds that the outcome of her telling them about the
relationship is not going to is just going to be the same
whether she tells him now or in five years.
And like, yeah. But also like Theora said in
previous episodes, it's not quite true because little Nung
would be out of school and things would be a little
different. Like the outcome of like them
dating is going to be the same, but it's not true because of
that. But also, like, again, these
people need time to just accept Lil Nung for who she is, if they
can accept her, which is going to take time because they're
because like if you remember in the both Pingfa and Chet when
they were grilled on whether or not they would allow for
whatever, allow Lil Nung to date a woman, remember they're the
first reaction was fear, anger. And then when they got asked it
again after getting their emotions out, both of them said,
I don't know. So like they need time to think
about it. That's all it is.
So like, it's not a no, it's an I don't know, right?
So I think the thought is like, if it's five years from now and
they've gotten past the concept of their daughter being queer,
then that does change the scenario.
Then we also have to deal with, do you want to date your stepmom
or whatever? Like, that's another problem,
right? You know what I mean?
It's still going to have its bumps, but like the queerness
has to at least one of these things is dealt with.
Like, you know what I mean? Yeah.
Yeah, so I like it. It may not make it as explosive,
you know. OK, All right.
So then when Sam says that Big Nung, the outcome thing, Big
Nung thinks about it and then replies.
Some truths are hard to accept, projection or honor because Big
Nung has been having a hard time accepting all of this the whole
show. And Big Nung and Little Nung
have fought tooth and nail to accept who they are and have
others accept them in return. Like that's kind of the arc
they're on right now. And I think Sam and Mon know
this too because they also fought like hell for their
relationship. Maybe this is a gay thing.
It's like you have to fight. Just to be who you are.
Or this is the the Gap universe thing.
Everyone's doing this, OK, But then Big Nong gets to the crux
of it all. And she says really what this is
all about if she doesn't want Little Nong to go through the
same familial hardships that she went through when she left the
palace. And she's like, especially with
the grandmother because I know how much she loves her
grandmother. And I love this so much because
again, this is Big Nung, the growth of Big Nung.
And she's using the lessons she learned to try her damnedest to
spare a little on from like trauma.
Because I think she's going to live with her trauma from the
grandmother, from the grand man forever.
And it's just like, also little Nung has enough trauma going on.
So correct. I mean sort of big Nung, but I
mean, no, she does, but she's like.
If I can spare her anymore. Yeah, but this is Big Nung
basically saying I don't want her to go through what I went
through because I think she's still feeling the pain of all
that still. And but Sam points out the
difference. She's like, well, Little Nung's
not going to go through that alone like you did, because
Little Nung has you. So she's going to have somebody
with her which Big Nung never had.
You know, Big Nung went through all that kind of basically
alone. She actually has her sisters,
but it's not like the same thing.
And I think on some level, Big Nung knows this because she
would never let Lung Nung face this by herself.
Like, she's constantly trying to protect her where she can.
And I wonder if in hindsight, like, Big Nung really wishes
that she didn't have to face so many challenges in her life
alone. But the flip side of this
statement is also true. Like, Big Nung is also just not
alone either. And you know, she has little
Nung now. She also doesn't have to face
life alone anymore or big challenges or whatever.
And I think on some level, Big Nung knows that.
And it adds to her terror of losing little Nung, especially
to all this family drama. I think that's the other reason
where you're like, wow, why can't we just get this over
with? And why can't they just confront
them? I think big Nung is terrified of
the possibility of losing a little Nung to her family.
And so she's trying to put it off too because she's like,
selfishly, she's like, I want her in my life and I'm afraid
I'll lose her when this comes out.
And that's totally understandable, you know, and,
and the other thing about it too, is if their relationship
comes to light. Like, like we keep saying, it's
this beautiful, healthy relationship that these two
women have just found for the first time in their lives.
And Big Nung is worried that either Little Nung will be taken
away from her by the family. Or once they go through this
hardship with the family, it's very possible that their
relationship will be altered in a not good way, potentially
forever just by going through this kind of trauma.
Like whether that changes some kind of fracture between Little
Nung and the grandmother, and little Nung now will have to
carry that forever the way Big Nung carries her grandmam
trauma. Or it's possible that something
will shift between Big Nung and Little Nung that can never be
undone. And so the uncertainty of all of
that is also like tearing Big Nung apart.
There's a lot of unknowns to this and possible bad outcomes
to this beautiful relationship she has.
And I think she's really terrified of altering it, which
is totally valid for, I mean, all these reasons.
Big non's going through a lot right now.
And she that's why we need the emotional support lesbians.
That's why we need them. So then she says about little
non Little men won't be able to handle fighting with their
grandmother, which is more projection from big non.
The biggest, the biggest production yet, the biggest.
And if you, if you'd watched Big Nung up till now, she has been
trying to prepare Little Nung for this possibility like the
confrontation with the grandmother.
But Despite that, Little Nung really seems unprepared for it.
And this is Big Nung speaking from experience.
Like there's never a way to fully prepare yourself for that.
But like you can be more prepared than than not.
I don't know if Big Nung will ever be fully able to move past
what happened in her past because there's always going to
be those what ifs in her mind because she's trying to spare
Little Numb from losing her grandmother.
But like, what if she had done something differently and she
had a relationship with her grandmother?
It's hard. Like, you can.
It can dull over time, but there's always, like, a random
day. You're going to be like, what if
I just done that? Yeah.
And that's like the biggest problem I have with the Grand
Mam is that she robbed Nung of any kind of resolution of their
bullshit basically by refusing to talk to Nung about it.
And so Big Nung now is going to have to carry the what ifs, like
you said, forever because she never had closure, never, never
has it. And so I think she will always
carry that forever. And like you said, like it won't
be a constant, you know, thing every single day, but she's
going to have days where she's going to have to like relive the
trauma or process it all over again.
It's like she's going to have some level of PTSD from this
basically. So which is unfortunate.
But in the scene, big nun again, why is she here?
She's here to see her emotional support lesbians who are
comforting her. And I want to talk about like
their body language in the scene because I think it's really
funny. So after big nun like basically
spits out her truth, the emotional support lesbians are
there to comfort each other and so I love the the shot of them
immediately after that. So it's big nong drinking away
her feelings. Sam is comforting big nong while
Mon is comforting Sam, which I love.
So it's like this like tag of like everyone's comforting each
other, which like Sam doesn't need cover in the scene.
So I love mom could have sat on the other side of Nung and they
both could be comforting Nung. But no, it's Mon on hand on Sam,
Sam hand on Nung. I love that it's but this is
like it's a comforting train where right doesn't have to
comfort anyone and mom's basically comforting everyone.
So that's just the roles. That is true.
That is dynamic. Nung is comforting herself by
drinking the wine. So go she's getting her doing
the wine glass. She is also.
Could we talk about how they're like color-coded in the scene?
So like Mons in like a cream color or like a white, if you'll
say like pure white, Sam is in white and then black shorts and
Nung's in the black. So like that's I do very true.
I love it. They're kind of gradient them.
Well, it's like polar opposite Sam and Mon and no, and then
Sam's in the middle literally with the colors and literally in
the middle. However, I I feel like Mon
should be the one in the middle anyway.
I mean, yeah, like Sam was useless in the scene.
But anyway, like, no, I love Sam.
So OK, so they're doing the the train of comforting and Sam
reassures Big None that she believes in her.
And this is Sam's way of showing Big Nung that she also isn't
alone. It's not just Little Nung that
is keeping Big Nung from being alone, it's also her family,
like her emotional support lesbians, she has people to back
her up, that love her, anything. In the past, Big Nung felt alone
when she was waging the war with the Grand Man because Big Nung
nung #1 was isolated in her sis from her sisters as the eldest
child by the Grand Man. By the way, the Grand Man, you
know, it raised her to be in her spitting image, to be the heir.
She put way more pressure on her.
That's like part of eldest child syndrome.
Like Big Nong has that in spades, where she had more
responsibilities put on her because she was the oldest.
And so because of that, her life experiences in the palace is
different than that of Song and Sam's.
And since that was Big Nung's experience and now she's about
to face a similar situation to her past with Little Nung, I
think her trauma is being triggered a bit here.
And Sam maybe senses that shift in Big Nung and is doing her
best to be supportive. And also Mon by extension
because like, Mon's just empathetic period.
Mon is a great person. She is.
Mon's gone through so much shit and she's still here supporting
everybody. It's why you cannot cut Mon out
of any of these wills. She earned everything being
there for YouTube bitches. Mon gets half of everything.
Everything. Like when non kicks it Mon gets
something. I'm just saying Mon gets.
It. Queen title, like give her
something. So I love that big nun gets this
kind of validation and support from Ma, from Mon and Sam.
And I think and then she thanks Sam and Mon for their support,
which is also big for big Nung to even say that.
And like they're, they really are a healthy family unit.
And I'm really glad we get moments like this on screen with
them. It's really sweet.
And I, I do enjoy that. I just love seeing big Nung
supported because for so long she wasn't.
And it's not because Sam didn't support her.
It's because she was like, child.
They were children. Yeah.
Also like Nung ran away, isolated herself even more and
like Sam couldn't support her until they crashed into each
other's lives again. So but I just love that they're
like a found family kind of in a way like with Mon and they act
like a a healthy family, which I do enjoy since given the way
these sisters were raised. So I like they have that now.
And at the end of this conversation, Big Nung initiates
a cheers with the wine glasses, which is also super sweet.
Like they're just, I don't know, they're just being cute.
OK. But if you watch the end of
this, my favorite part is that they do everything perfectly In
Sync. Like they stop drinking the
glass and then they all put it down at the same time.
And I just. Find it very hilarious that
they're all In Sync right now. They're so much.
Alike. I love that so much.
Later that evening, maybe what is time, Big Nung returns to the
Bua Palace, and the first thing we see in this, Is it her room?
Yeah, it's her room. We see a family portrait.
And I was looking at this. Big Nung and the Grand Vam have
similar expressions where there is barely a smile there.
And they're pretty serious. In the photo, Sam and Song have
more of a smile. You can definitely.
Tell the next in line through this photo.
It also really reiterates that Big Nun was actually a lot like
with the grandma, the grand ma'am.
You could just. Fully say I love it was just so
interesting to see like the difference in the dynamic
depending on the order. Yeah, that's a really good read.
Like we've seen personality wise that for all the bullshit, Nung
and the grand mem are very were very similar, which is why they
butted head. So it's it's cute to see that
like Song and Sam were more similar, which is cute 'cause we
get so little of song. Yeah, so yeah, we can basically
be like, oh, Song was just a quieter version of Sam.
Yeah, I know literally. Cause like song is like
described by Big Nun as like the cute nice sister.
Like so is Sam. Like Sam is honestly like so is
Sam. But I mean, Sam is also very
blunt and direct sometimes. But like Sam is very sweet if
you could, if you use that language.
Also like she's very caring and loving and I assume Sam was
similar. Thank you, Caitlin.
This family would be like if song was still here, Like I
literally want the song story where it's just like in like
it's just the years where song was alive and then it could just
end with like songs contemplation of ending it all
and just like end the story. But I would love to see like
from the the girl, like a little bit of the girls with their
parents and then like the accident, then them coming into
the custody of the grand man and then then going through that up
to the up to Nung leaving. And then it could just be like
Song and Sam being like, what are we going to do?
And it's just the book ends. Like we don't have to like get
to the end of Song, but like just that time period from
Song's point of view would be amazing.
Do we know what age the parents stuff happened?
I don't I have no idea. I don't.
I don't remember because it might have been a blank, but I
don't remember. I want to know more.
About that because, like, what age did they come to the Grand
man? I know saw I Sam was too little
to remember anything. Nung remembrance stuff maybe 8.
She may have been 8. I feel like it wasn't blank but
I just can't remember. I found my head.
But dude, they were children. All of them are children.
Sam was a baby baby though. Sam doesn't even know her
parents. That's so sad.
I don't know how much song I remembered either.
But anyway. So why are we here?
So we're in Big Nung's room where she finds a big box from
Little Nung. And inside the box is a card and
a stuffed animal. And like, kudos to Big Nom
because she reads the card first before getting the gift.
That's love and bitch, love bitch.
And what's in the card? So little Nom wrote her this
really sweet mess. It just says happy birthday.
You are the one I love most in the world.
You should try squeezing the hand of this doll, which is not
intuitive. You know, it's a human doll, not
a for a dog where you like go for the squeaker.
So what's in the box? So it's a giant puppy dog
stuffed animal, which is little Nung in stuffed animal form
because of course, because little Nung had to outdo what
big Nung did for her birthday when big Nung got her the little
black cat plushy. So she gets her not only does
she get her her which is big Nung in plushy form.
So she gets big Nung herself in plushy form, but outdoes her
because it's bigger. It a huge box and also it talks.
So she like totally outdoes big Nung.
I could just see them trying to wind up each other every
anniversary. Oh for sure, for sure, for sure.
And it's also like the perfect gift because you know, why did
big nun get it for little get little Nung the cat.
It's because she's like, you need something to hug when I'm
not there. And like these two are so
similar, Little Nung's like I'm sure you also need something to
hug in general when I'm not there.
So she's like, let me just be more explicit about the fact
that this is me and a plus stuffed animal because I'm going
to talk to you in it. So when she hits the voice
recording, it essentially mirrors exactly, exactly why Big
Nung gifted Little Nung the black cat plushy 'cause she's
like, in case you miss me, you'll have the doggie.
Just hug it. And also like it says in it
like, I love you, I belong to you, that kind of stuff.
So it's like not only like the sentiment of like, hug this when
you're sad because Big Nung does need physical touch.
And Little Nung knows that even though Big Nung will never admit
it, Big Nung also needs that reassurance that she's loved.
So I think that's why Big Little Nung also like adds that.
But also when you know what happens later in blank, this is
a little bit of foreshadowing. It's like, hey, if I'm not there
for some reason, here's my voice and a stuffed animal that you
can hug. Yeah, don't.
Don't give someone something just in case.
Because then it's gonna. Happen, Yeah, but to be fair,
they're also like not together all the time 'cause little buddy
is in school or whatever. But anyway, like to go back to
the end of the the end of the message is really sweet where
she's like, I will always love you from Little Nung, who
belongs to Big Nung. Like it's very, very sweet.
Yeah. The.
So this whole message that she's doing is like very mission
based, sounding like very like I'm here for a reason until she
gets to saying Big Nung's name. And it sounds like the sweetest
thing ever. And I just don't think Little
Nung is capable of saying her name any other way.
Like it always has to. It's like that sing songy.
Oh yeah. How she says it.
Yeah. Yeah, it's very sweet.
The way she says the message to it sounds like Yoko kind of use
a voice for Little Nung that she would use in season 1 a lot too.
That like Nung, like the way she says it, it sounds like Season 1
Little Nung again demonstrating that, like, her feelings never
change. Like, you know, like I'm still
who I was. Yeah.
So what does Big Nung do? Big Nung melts immediately and
treats the doll like Little Nung.
So she grabs it, then gently kisses its forehead and hugs it
like it's the most precious thing in the world.
So to me, this behavior is Big Nung admitting Little Nung does
know her best because she likes her Little Nung hugs.
And like, here she is. And I was watching this.
I'm like, could you imagine Big Nung doing anything like this in
the beginning of the series, this series or even gap?
Like, no, I mean, the closest thing we get to this is she does
have a stuffed animal that she sleeps with that must be from
her childhood. It's like a little rabbit that's
like in that bed. And she does, like, when she's
sad, hold it and, like, cry. So it's like the.
But this where she's, like, smiling and kissing its
forehead. Like, no, that she would never
do that because she never had these feelings before.
She was incapable of this because she didn't know what it
meant. Valid.
Yeah. I think if anything we'd get
scenes like the loyal pin with the Sasha Bunny or like
strangling the damn thing when she's upset.
I forgot about that I. Just never forget that that's
the thing that happened. That's amazing.
All right. So after Big Nong hugs Little
Nong, the doll version, we cut over to a new day at the art
gallery where one of Eva took Big Nong up on the art lesson
deal, but not the private art lesson because Little Mom would
hijack the mob to get rid of her if that ever happened.
So Juan is like, all right, I'll take that art lesson.
And Big Mom's like, OK, cool. You have to bring people with
you. Yeah, My wife finds out.
She'll kill you. Like, literally kill you.
So during the group workshop, some of Juan Viva's friends
start gossiping about a mutual friend named Amp who's dating a
man 10 years younger than her. Good for her.
Yeah. But.
It's quite interesting to be witnessing gossip that has
nothing to do with the characters in the show.
Like obviously it's there to make Big Nung insecure about the
topic, but I do find it fascinating that this is done by
overhearing gossip than like having her directly in a
conversation. I mean, I was sleep deprived by
writing these notes, but I don't think gossiping is a fairly
common thing like in these shows, unless you're part of the
diversity pop staff. Because those those people,
yeah, they're they're, they're the worst.
That's from Gap if you don't know.
OK, so I think it's normal because like they're having a,
it's a private lesson in a way where like the gallery is only
open to this friend group. So like they're talking about
like I assume these are one of Viva's doctor friends or
something. So they're talking about a
mutual friend just amongst themselves and being like, did
you guys hear about this? And Big Numb just happens to be
there because she owns the fucking place and is I guess
giving them a lesson. I don't know because nobody's
drawing the same thing. So I don't know what this is, to
be honest. I just thought it was cool that
we heard about these people that we don't know.
Yeah, no, it's just. And I think, yeah, it's to your
point, it's to reinforce that like, no matter who's involved,
the age gap thing is stigmatized because like, there's stigma
because with Big Nong and Little Nong, because she almost married
Little Nong's dad. She's a Princess.
Little Nong is just out of school.
But like, here's it being enforced that like this is
there's a stigma no matter what, even with straight people.
It's like there's no gay thing. It's amp and her boyfriend.
So this is straight people assume we don't know any about
sexuality, but it's a hetero appearing couple.
So like we're just we're dealing with one aspect of their the
fuckery that's happening here. And one of the things that that
comes up is they're like, Oh my God, A10 year age gap.
Will they make it? And so like does.
That immediately. Pauses when she hears that too.
Yeah, that's that hits the nail on the head when it comes to big
non's insecurity. And so she like feels really
second hand judged slash insecure about this really her
relationship with little non like it's all starts like
bubbling to the surface and then one part where they keep talking
the group of friends, they then say that's a huge age gap 10
years now mind you their age gap is 16.
And the friends say they probably talk about completely
different things, and this line in particular haunts Big Nung
for the rest of this episode. Yeah.
One of the friends like asks if they even speak the same
language and I think this is also something that makes Big
Nung stop because of the things that little Nung has had to
teach her because of her bridge to the younger generation.
But like, remember when she had to learn what the word sapphic
was and things like that? But if she was removed from this
scenario and given a moment to think, she would realize that
them having to teach each other stuff is part of the reason why
their relationship is healthy. Because it keeps the
communication going. It keeps them from being in a
bubble. In a way.
Because like, they both have ways to help each other grow.
And that's that's the beauty. But like also like was not
knowing the word sapphic detriment to their relationship?
No, no, it never was. Like if you watch big Nug and
little Nung, like we've been watching very intently, they
don't even notice their age gap unless somebody else brings it
up like they don't notice it, which is evidence that it
doesn't actually impact the two of them.
Other people are impact are imposing things onto them.
And so as this conversation is going, Juan Viva's gaydar is on
Max alert because she steals a glance at Big Non throughout the
gossip section. I was like, oh, dear.
And I love somebody is talking about AMP, and they're like, I'm
worried about her. And as that line is on the
screen, Juan Viva's looking at big non because she's worried
about big non. And so I love the timing of
that. Thank you, editors then.
OK, then it keeps getting worse, this conversation.
And it's not like they're not bringing up valid points about
some of this stuff. So the next point it's brought
up about Am's relationship is I'm afraid she will pass away
first. Why is that your concern?
No, because like, well, like that is that's a, that's a thing
that can happen. And so, like, you can't convince
me that Big Nung hasn't thought about that.
OK, She's thought about all the obstacles to their relationship,
but she's been, she's been lost in the honeymoon phase of the
relationship. And I think she's put a lot of
these thoughts on the back burner.
But you can't convince me she hasn't thought about that at
all. Because, yeah, what happens if
she goes? What happens?
She's going to go 1st. And presumably, you know, unless
something happens. But yeah, it's a pretty, it's a
significant age gap where that is definitely a thing to be
concerned about, right? And like, especially now.
Because the grand. Man, like, just died.
And the memory of song is replaying in her head currently.
Like this poor girl's having nightmares.
I think at least she's like, waking up in the midnight.
So death is very much at the forefront of her mind.
And it's just a lot going on. There's a lot of trauma around
death too. So yeah.
But like, that's, you know, that's a scary possibility too,
that, you know, they're, they're off battling all these like,
family people. And it's like, oh shit.
Yeah. There's also death to worry
about. So Juan Viva can see how
uncomfortable big Nung is because she's a big.
She's a low key, not a great one, but she's kind of a big
Nung whisperer a little bit. Not as good as a little nung,
but she can kind of like read Big Nun because they've known
each other. And like a good friend, she
sticks up for big Nung without drawing attention to big Nung.
And I love the way she does this.
And she says, I think love is about two people and age doesn't
matter. And this scene is when I gained
a lot of respect for Juan Viva because she's speaking to her
friends in the amp situation, but really she's speaking to Big
Nung to calm her down in this scene.
And I love her for doing that because Big Nung, like little
Nung, doesn't like being in the spotlight either.
So she's not like putting a spotlight in Big Nung, but she's
kind of like talking to her without talking to her, which I,
I, I love her for that. Then Juan Viva follows us up by
saying it's none of our business.
We are outsiders. We probably don't know all the
details. Speak the facts.
Juan Viva. Yeah, girl, I think this is
definitely the best Juan Viva scene 'cause she is saying all
the things that Big Nung needs to hear, like indirectly to her,
but she's also letting Big Nung know that she accepts her at the
same time. And that's the most important
part. I love it.
I love this scene, actually. This scene is really cute.
Actually. It's a good scene with Juan
Viva. Yeah.
And to your last point, Caitlin, she's also shutting down the
gossip at the same time, which I think is also important.
Like she's ending the bullshit. Yeah.
Comforting. Big non.
And also like, if you've seen any of affair, one of Eva had
her own nightmare scenario with her love life.
So like, she's like, listen, outsiders will never understand.
Like, I just wanted to. It's like just.
It's like. Oh, my God, no.
Would they not understand her teenagehood either?
Like, and I still don't understand her teenagehood.
I don't think anyone does. So yeah, like, you know, I, I in
the context of that, Juan Viva is kind of speaking from
experience, but I love how she handles this like a really good
friend. And so Juan Viva's friends,
after Juan Viva ends the gossip session by doing that, the
friends change the subject and they're like, let's eat.
I'm hungry. Yeah.
And they don't even have the decency to respond to all the
shit she just said. Like she just called them out
for, like, saying all these things and shut them down.
Like they could have said. You're right.
I didn't think about that. My bad.
But no, they're like, let's go eat.
That'll make everything better. I mean, but they also didn't
challenge her on it and be like, Juan, that's crazy.
You know what I mean? They're just kind of like, I
guess, let's move on. It wasn't as big of a deal to
them as it as Juan Viva knew it was, right?
So as the friends are basically getting ready to get out of
there, Juan Viva sees Big Nong is spiraling into a depression
by her easel. So she tells the friends, how
about you guys, go ahead, I'll catch up.
And Big Nong is so sad that she can barely muster a goodbye to
her clients. Like, the polite thing to do is
to like, say goodbye to. She barely does that 'cause
she's like super triggered right now.
So Juan Viva sits alone with Big Nung for a minute and she takes
a seat on the table and she's watching Big Nung try to like
put her mask back on because like, she was feeling a bunch of
feelings and like the mask was cracking.
And now she's like, crap, I still have an audience.
So she's trying to put it back on and play, play it off cool.
Like nothing bad happened and it's failing miserably.
So Juan Viva tells Big Nung just forget about what they said
because she knows you just got triggered by all this shit.
But of course, Big Nun is Big nun.
So she tries to play dumb like she always does.
And she's like, I don't know what you're talking about, La
Viva. Internally she's saying this
bitch, this is Big nuns, this is card every single time.
But La Viva's like, listen, that might work with anybody else,
but I'm not anybody else. I'm your actual friend and I can
read you. And I have to say before we get
further into this, when Juan Viva is sitting on the table, I
do appreciate that behind Juan Viva is the R flag means death.
Like rainbow ocean painting that used to be in big nuns, like
shabby little apartment in season 1.
So I like that they kept the prop and put it in the gallery
because it's a really good painting.
I do like that. And it's super gay looking.
If I love this snare, it's got a big rainbow on it.
I love it and like we have it may as well put it in the art
gallery. No, So I like that they kept it
cuz they have new sets and new props and everything for season
2. So I like that it made it there.
All right, So why don't we even continues?
And she's like, listen, I can read you and I can see that
you've changed. And also one of Eva has eyes and
she knows that big Nung is clearly in love with little Nung
and she's like, you're in love with little Nung, right Like
that's what this is about. And the second one, Eva says.
And anyway, what does? And the second Wand Viva says
Little Nung's name. Big Nung's entire demeanor
changes, and she goes from sad to panic, like straight up at
panicking. But Wand Viva quickly reassures
Big Nung, it's OK. Like, I'm happy for you.
You finally found the one. And this is such a queer
experience thing, what they're doing here.
Because it's one of those moments for Big Nung where she's
bracing herself for a negative reaction to her relationship,
but she gets a +1 instead. So I love that it's always.
Surprising. I mean coming off the cusp of
the conversation that just happened, yes.
Also also this is technically the first outsider to know about
them. Like technically folk knows, but
like he's more of a brother to little Nung at this point.
And. This is the first step in
acceptance for the public and Big Nung to realize that it
could be OK if people know about them.
It was this was like if Juan Viva didn't accept it, things
would have gotten worse, right? I agree.
And part of us too, is that as her friend, Juan Viva
understands how monumental this is for Big Nung and why Big Nung
having feelings for Little Nung is a miracle.
And like what that truly means, because Big Nung is the person
who never had feelings for anybody and told people that.
And I'm sure Juan Viva knew that.
Like they have a past, Like she knows this about big No.
So have big Nung openly have feelings for another person is
huge. So I think that's that's the
other thing where Juan Viva is like, I get how big this is.
Like, regardless of what it looks like, like you found your
happiness finally. Like that's huge no matter who
it is. What I love in this conversation
is that like a good friend, she doesn't push Big Nung on the
topic. She just leaves Big Nung with
her support and gives her the space to process and like leaves
to go have lunch with the other friends.
Like because demonstrating that like Wanda Viva does actually
know Big Nung. It's not this like despite like
big Nong being Big Nong like and being the being the person who's
like we hang out when I'm ready. Like Wanda Viva does like
clearly know big Nong and it she demonstrates it fully in the
scene. Yes, she has brain cells with
big Nung and right before she leaves, she says you're so
obvious. And I love it.
I love that she says that line. But then I I was just thinking,
I'm like, OK, so you understand that what big Nung's going
through right now, so. Can we go back to your?
Teenage hood and like, listen, I'm convinced in a fair Juan
Viva knew what was going on. It was the other party.
Yeah, I think. Maybe she was even trying at a
time. I think she was confused.
Wait for. Yes, she was waiting.
She has the patience of the Saint.
Seriously. Nong.
Yeah. Know what she had?
A lot of that is patience. That's her middle name.
Juan, patience beep. That's how that works.
Juan beep. A patient's last name.
All right. I also love the part in the
scene where Juan B was like, it's little Nug, isn't it?
And big Nug gives her that look and she's like, she slams the
dust. She's like, I knew it.
I knew it because because we've seen her putting the pieces
together very slowly where she's like, this woman always likes
the kind of fight me. I feel like they were.
College friends like they they they went to the same.
I forget which college she went to but I'm pretty sure it's the
same. 1 little nun went to no Juan.
I favorite 112. I mean, if they were college
friends, they went to the same college.
Yeah, I know. But I don't know if I went to
College of Medicine because she's a doctor.
I know that I'm not communicating correctly, but I
feel like at that time in their life that's when they are close
and like so she just knows her. Yeah.
Yeah, no, I was going somewhere else, but they probably met in
college. Anyway.
We still don't know. OK, that's the one FIFA's seen.
So with that, we now transition to the age gap of it all because
we had to highlight age gap is a problem.
So this is the age gap is a problem episode.
So let's get into this. So it's a brand new day.
And on this day, Little Long woke up and chose marathon
running, which is apparently a hobby of hers.
Like good for her, but also odd. We've never heard about this
hobby up until now. Because usually people into
marathon running make it their entire personality cuz it's a
huge commitment to run 23 point whatever miles a day. 23.5 But
like, seriously. I actually don't.
No, I have no idea but like. Yeah, 23.5 miles.
No, I don't. Know 20 plus?
That's a lot. But seriously, where did this?
Go. That's so right.
I don't know. Yeah, it's this is that came out
of nowhere. But let us all appreciate the
color coding. First of all, they're in
athletic attire. Good job, ladies.
I'm glad we didn't show up in Buffy the Vampire Slayer outfits
to go exercise where it's like, why are we in high heels?
Like, OK, they're dressed appropriately.
I appreciate that detail because with women, it's not always on
point. But let's talk how they're
color-coded. So we have big Nung in all black
except for the shoes that are white, so black cat.
And then you have little Nung in like a golden retriever kind of
outfit where she's in like a cream pinky kind of color top
and like white shorts. So like golden retriever and the
black cat go for a run. So first of all, I love that
because that's who they are, but they're in contrasting colors if
you look at them. So indicating to me that like
they're not on the same page. They're not going to be on the
same page in the scene and it's primarily about their
relationship. If you compare it and contrast
it to the scene with Mon and Sam in the last episode where they
were wearing when they go to visit them and they were wearing
complimentary colors cuz they were on the same page with the
relationship here. It's a new day.
We're not on the same page just based on the colors.
OK, so why are we here? Little non brought big non with
her today as an attempt to bond with her by doing something Cuz
like what have we been doing most of the show we've been
drawing and reading, which are big non hobbies.
So now we're getting into little sharing little non hobbies.
OK, which is fair. That's equality right?
But also like she's here to make her girlfriend healthier cause
love. And to me this is a super
relatable scene because my wife and I do shit like this and
sometimes it does play out like this depending on what the
activity is that we're exercising in this.
But this made me think of you talking about like those
overnight hiking trips. Like, has she had you go on one
of those? No, I have.
No, I have no desire to do that. It's more like we'll do like,
we'll go to the gym or do like we do AB classes with our
friends and like, I always have to drag Julie.
I like doing that stuff. And I was like we're doing AB
class. Julie's like, do we have to
meanwhile? She'll she'll hike like 20
miles. So it it depends, that's what I
mean. It depends on the activity.
So sometimes it does play out exactly like this.
Like it's not like a lack of fitness thing.
Like it's like everyone has strength and weak, even when it
comes to athleticism. So like sometimes it just plays
out like this. So it's like valid, this is a
valid scene. But the point is the age gap
stuff. So little Nung mentions running
is a good way to relieve stress. And she thought, I think she
thought big Nung could benefit from that.
You know, pressure seems stress. Big nung's like we could.
Do other things to relieve stress.
I'm sure she thought that. But I I wonder if like little
like this seems like a random scene, but I wonder if like
Little Nung noticed Big Nung shifted mood after the art
gallery gossip incident. And I wonder if this is her way
to like get Big Nung out of her head, give her a change of
scenery. Like I wonder if this was part
of this was to help Big Nung in a way.
But it all Big Nung hears from that is Little Nung is stressed
out. And so she asked, what are you
stressed out about? Now I'm stressed like, damn it,
Big Nung and and a little long. Just like I'm not stressed.
There's only one thing that stresses me out.
And I wonder if she's referring to the family drama because that
seems to be the only thing that stresses her out and also seems
to stress out big nun, which then stresses out little little
nun gets stressed out when big nun is stressed out.
And like, so I'm like, I wonder what she actually meant when
she's like, there's only one reason I get stressed.
I would ask relatable because big nun's response to that is
don't be stressed I can deal with it.
So I wonder if that they are referring to the family shit.
Yeah, that seems. Possible.
Yeah. Regardless, Lil Nung suggests
they race because this is supposed to be fun, right?
And Big Nung, of course, is grumpy about this because she's
not an exercise enthusiast. And also, it's really hard to
jump into exercising, especially marathon running, when you don't
do it often. Who jumps right into marathon
running? People who want to get injured.
Like you got to build yourself up to that.
That's you don't you cannot just jump into that without hurting
yourself. I don't care how old you are.
OK, so about one lap into this big nun needs a break, which is
relatable. Get the most.
Relatable and I'm just glad that they didn't make Big Nung
immediately good at running too because then she would just be
weirdly. Perfect.
And we can only handle so much big Nung energy.
I agree. I mean, she's relatable.
So that's a form of perfection. So I'll take that.
Yeah. But of course, Big Nung can't
keep up, so Little Nung takes the opportunity to tease Big
Nung about her age. She's like, it's 'cause you're
old, right? That's why you can't keep up
with me. Which makes Big Nung even more
insecure than she was a minute ago.
And then this is. Yeah.
Go ahead. OK.
Like the the age thing you don't understand.
This is what it felt like trying to explain.
To the kids I babysit. Why my knee was hurting and
giving out randomly. I'm like, you're, you're kids,
you won't understand. Yeah, so big NUMG starts
dropping facts. So she's like, you're not 30
yet. You don't understand when you
start getting back aches and shit like that.
And it's like also like, yes, that is all valid, but also like
she doesn't run regularly. So like this is going to be she
has to start somewhere. Even if she not to say that 30
year olds can't run or get into marathon running, you definitely
can. I know people that have done it.
You have to warm up and practice like, and it's gonna be harder
for her because she's a 30 year old who doesn't do this.
And like, you're a 20 something year old who's like, I'm gonna
wake up and run a marathon. And it's like, what?
Girl? What?
But yeah, exactly. This is just a fact.
So irregardless, and this keeps going and they are just not on
the same page in this conversation because Little Mung
is joking. Like she's just joking because
this is supposed to be fun, right?
But Big Mung is taking all this way too seriously because she's
in her head right now because of the one Viva friend
conversation. And so everything's going to
trigger her because she's going to overthink literally
everything that happens until she's untriggered.
So the way I kind of like read this a little bit is that like
Big Nung in the scene feels insecure because she feels like
the quote weaker one because she's failing at the physical
running test and she's defensive about it because this is a
quote, a flaw, Miss Perfect, right?
She still gets triggered by all that perfection stuff.
I feel like that haunts her forever.
And like, again, Juan Viva's friends are in her head being
like, you're going to die first Nong and like all this shit.
You know what I mean? She's just insecure right now,
particularly about their age gap shit.
Meanwhile it's like playing out in front of her.
Also, little Nung has none of these thoughts.
There's no thoughts in her head right now.
She's just happily teasing her girlfriend and having fun.
And it's just like, to me, like the beauty of the scene is that
it's a metaphor for their relationship stripped of the
stigma and the outside forces, and it's just it is
demonstrating that they are different.
Running doesn't have to be a bad thing.
Big none. No, but getting teased by your
girlfriend for being old. No that.
Sucks that's what's triggering her right now.
OK, so I'm going to go break down the scene, the running
scene, and show why I think it's a metaphor for their
relationship. OK, so here's some translations
for how this is going to go. So running every time they're
running. So running equals the journey of
life. OK, so that's the metaphor for
the journey of life, their athletic differences as a
metaphor for the age gap, which is more obvious.
And then the race that they're doing.
Cuz remember when mom was like let's race is a metaphor stand
in for like milestones. So things like in life, so like
graduating, getting a job, traveling, marriage, all that
kind of stuff. So keep that in mind.
So let's break down the scene. So in the scene, they race
together and Little Nung pulls away from Big Nung because of
their athletic differences or the age gap.
So once they start trying to achieve shit in life, like
they're going to separate because they're in different
starting points because of their quote athletic differences,
which is the age gap. So once that starts happening,
there's a visible division between the two of them.
The age gap becomes noticeable and their athletic difference
because of the athletic differences, right?
And during the race and the scene, Little Nong looks back
and notices that distance between them.
But instead of going forward to win the race or achieve those
milestones, Little Nong turns back and returns to Big Nong
with the intention of moving forward to complete the race
together or like doing the journey of life together, right?
Because Little Nong doesn't want to complete the milestones if
she doesn't have Big Nung. Like the journey of life means
nothing if Big Nung is not with her.
Hence why she doesn't finish the race and win like she could
have. She goes back and gets Big Nung.
So what I also love about this is that something Big Nung has
expressed over and over again, it's her concern about holding
Little Nung back, which is the subtext of this scene, OK?
It's overtly about the age gap, but it's about the subtext of
Big Nung holding Little Ng back, OK?
Because she's in a different place in her life because of her
30 year old body quote in the race, right?
So what's Big Nung's solution to like the gap, to let go of
Little Nung so she can win the race without her?
So she says in the scene, next time find somebody else to run
with you. I won't come anymore.
Meaning like, maybe you should go on this journey with somebody
your own age, somebody who's at your level.
If you go with me, I'm just going to hold you back.
But if you look at Little Nung in the scene when Big Nung's
saying this, Little Nung's just smiling.
Just like, get out of here. Because Little Nung's not here
to win a race, OK? She wants to experience the run
or the journey of life with Big Nung.
That's what she really wants. It's not about the milestones.
It's about going through all the things with Big Nung.
That's what makes her happy. That's why she's smiling.
I think that is the. Moral of this whole show like it
does seem like on the outside that she could or people think
that little Nung could do more in life without being with big
Nung because this age gap is so big.
But she doesn't care about anything like that limits her
because with big Nung she doesn't feel like there are any
limits because all she needs is her.
Like Big Nung really isn't holding her back because she can
still do everything that she's going to like the only
difference would be either well first not being happy and like
what? Dating someone in her own age
and who's like no it makes no difference.
Basically just be together guys. We love you.
I mean, I again, like from, I mean, let's go back and like,
look at this from Big Nog's point of view.
Like in the race, Lulong's pulling ahead of her and is
smiling and doing fine and Big Nog is on the struggle bus and
then Little Nong has to come back and get her.
And, and in Big Nong's point of view, she's like, I just robbed
you of winning slash achieving something in life because you
had to slow down for me, so I'm holding you back.
Like that's her point of view and that's not wrong.
Like it's valid to feel like that.
Like I understand where she's coming from, but I also
understand where Little Nong's cover.
Again, they're not on the same page and that's the whole point.
Because in Little Nung says to Big Nung after she's like, hey,
run with somebody else next time.
Meaning like you should be, you should let me go so you can
succeed. Little Nung says I don't want to
run with anybody else and she hugs Big Nung.
They're in public, remember this.
And what's important about this line is that up till now, Little
Nung has been teasing Big Nung and just laughing and not taking
this seriously. And when she says I don't want
to run with anybody else, that's when Little Nun gets serious.
Because what Little Nung is saying is that she's 100%
certain in the metaphor that she wants to experience her life
with Big Nun no matter what. That means she's not joking
about that. Like she picks up now that like,
OK, you weren't being serious about this.
You don't like these age gap jokes that I was just doing.
And I promise I won't do that anymore.
Like because I think Lilong feels like, oh, I just triggered
you and I didn't mean to because to me it doesn't matter, but to
you it seems to still matter or bother you.
I won't do that anymore, OK? Because Lilong is saying to me
it doesn't matter. It's all that matters is you.
So then Lilong brings up the solution for how they win the
race, OK? How they achieve all the things.
And she says basically, she says like, hey, because Big Nun
brings up the age gap. She's like, and Little Nung's
like, well, even though we're of different ages, like, we still
feel the same. Our hearts are the same.
So like, that's all that matters.
And what Little Nung is doing. And she's reassuring Big Nung
that this perceived difference doesn't define their
relationship. We've said it before, when
they're alone, they don't notice the age gap.
It's only when other people bring attention to it that Big
Nung gets in her head, right. And what this is really showing,
and what's beautiful about this is it shows that there are many
aspects to a relationship and there's works because of the way
they treat each other and they communicate and the other things
they have in common, like the differences don't necessarily
divide them. Like you were saying, Caitlin.
If anything, it makes them stronger because like Big Numb
offers, I'm going to use this term lightly, wisdom wisdom in a
way, because like she has some like she has life experience,
right? So she could help Lil non with
like financial stuff. I mean, who knows?
Like what she really knows, but like.
She can help you know. I know that's what I mean.
I, I don't know that she really can, but she could offer her
some like I've been through this, don't make this mistake
and like guide her a little bit. Whereas Lil non could be like,
hey, like I know all these new things that you're not Privy to
because of who you hang out with, like learning new terms
and you know, things like that. They balance each other out
doing that with like, the grandmother and all the family
relationship because she knows her experience.
Yeah. No, literally.
Like, that's how Bring Nung is actually bringing her experience
by like, I know where this is headed with your grandmother.
Let's not do that, right? Remember the scene where she's
like, I uniquely understand you and your grandmother.
Let me help you with this. And like, Lil Nung is like, I
understand you're freaking out and there's no need to freak
out. Like, anyway, so that's how I
think this is all one big metaphor for their relationship.
And So what? How does this conclude?
Ludo Nung promises not to take big Nung running anymore.
OK? AKA what she's really saying
here is like, hey, it's OK if we have different hobbies and
interests. Like that's fine.
We don't have to like be on the same page about literally every
aspect of our lives. That's weird and doesn't always
make a healthy relationship either.
But then she says, But after seeing you run today, I am
concerned about your health, so you're going to come to yoga
with me instead. Which I love.
She's like, you need to do some kind of exercising.
I'm getting you a job. Oh, they're adorable.
Oh my God, I love that. And what I do love in this
scene, too, is that they're outside.
They're in public. Little nun hugs her big nun.
Let's little nun cling to her. So she's like, that's a little
bit of progress, right? That is progress.
I also love that Big Dung is like, let's stick to drawing.
Because. Big Dung doesn't sport.
I mean, she just did that, and that's fine, and that's fine.
She's not a sport. She's not a sporty lesbian.
Then that's fine. We're OK with that.
But anyway, love that scene. Good metaphor.
Well done, everyone. All right, so let's jump over to
the emotional support lesbians because they're watching a movie
at home doing their little cute date night and Mon is super into
this movie and is just having a gay old time and she's trying to
feed Sam like this fancy popcorn.
But Sam is like not even watching the movie, she's just
zoned out 100%. And it seems to me like this is
how they normally watch movies. Which begs the question, how
many limes would you need to counteract the sweetness of Mon
and Sam watching a movie? They're just watching a movie
business. I need at least five 'cause
they're ridiculous. But I love how she could just
feed her without even looking. I know that's what I mean.
Like, they must keep, they must do this over and over again.
This is just how they watch movies.
It's just natural. Anyway, so funny.
So Mom notices the popcorn is not going into Sam's mouth
'cause Sam is stressed out. And so she's like, yeah, she's.
Into her mouth. OK, so Mon puts the popcorn
away, turns off the movie, and that's when Sam kind of snaps
out of it. She's like, oh, what's going on?
And she's like, listen, Sam, would you rather talk than watch
the movie? Because you're not you're,
you're not here right now. And Sam apologizes because she
knew Mon was super this Mon's movie night.
So mom picked the movie. She was really obviously mom was
really excited about this movie. And Sam's like, I'm ruining it
because I'm like mentally not here right now.
And so Sam's like, no, I feel bad you want to watch it, but
which is true. But mom was like, like your
well-being is more important than a movie.
So mom's like, it's fine, Sam, we live together.
We can watch this another time. Which, OK, I like the scene with
the two of them because like they're communicating about
their feelings. Good job, guys.
They've come a long way. They have.
Oh my gosh, polar opposite from Gap.
Usually Sam just fires half the company.
They don't talk well, Sam would have just like left.
I don't even know how this one got down anyway.
So like they're communicating, good for them.
So Sam gets into it and ultimately she's worried about
Nong, this complicated relationship and she's coming up
and being Sam. She's like, I want to help her
but I don't know how because Sam is the family glue and would do
anything for her family. But right now, she feels really
helpless and lost for how to help Nong.
And also to add to that, like, Nong is clearly not OK.
Like, Nong keeps coming over, and it looks upset and just
worried. And Sam's, like, that's making
me worried. I don't know how to help you.
And I hate seeing you like this. Yeah.
Sam is really good at taking on the problems that her loved ones
have. Yes.
Like, she had to be the one to work hard to keep her family
together. And boy, did she work hard.
For that hard. To her own detriment, yes, and I
feel so bad that she never got to have her family back together
really. But it means that she was
basically trying to keep everyone happy, which is
exhausting since there is no easy fix to big no's problem
right now. It's stressing Sam out more
because now someone she loves is sad and having a hard time but
she can't make it go away. There's literally nothing that
she could do. So I think she's also
spiralling. Yeah, Sam is a people blazer.
She's a huge people blazer. And The thing is, like Sam,
everything that Sam is doing by being there for Nung when Nung
needs her is like, it's all she can do.
So like she is doing stuff, but she's like, how do I, I, how do
I do more? So it's fixed.
And it's like, right. So Mon kindly reminds Sam that
she's like, look, Sam, remember Gap, you have amnesia for some
reason about us. But like, remember, we, we
overcame impossible obstacles with our relationship and look,
things worked out. We're having cute movie nights
and all this kind of stuff. So she assures Sam that like,
hey, you're being like, you can be a supportive sister, but
like, not to stress out too much about this because like, it's
Nung has to fight this battle, you know?
Mon takes it upon herself to fully distract Sam by turning on
the charm. She's like, well, since we
aren't going to watch a movie, I could entertain you instead.
This is the classic Mon and Sam. So Sam's like, entertain me how?
Because Sam's into this. And Mon, Mon softly caresses
Sam's back and gives her best bedroom eyes and then suggests
they go out to eat in their pajamas.
And Sam thankfully, has a brain cell somehow.
And she's like, how about we eat in and don't go anywhere?
So. And I love how they keep using
cooking and eating as a metaphor for sex, which is really funny.
And they do it the whole scene. And so Mon's like, yeah, OK, I
could be into that. So Sam dives head first into
Mon's personal space, which is super like, again, it's what is
this the insane lesbian focus that these sisters have where
they're just like, yes. And then Mon escapes and gets
up, leaving Sam rightfully confused.
She's like, what the fuck, Mon? And Mon's like, how about we go
cook in the bedroom, Sam, not on this couch.
Follow me upstairs. And like 10 out of 10 lines for
this scene because this is classic Mon.
And this is what is lovable about Mon and Sam.
Like the scene, I love how well she pulled that off and like.
Probably things. That Sam literally meant they
should cook in. Like I don't know if she.
Fully understood the thing at first, but yeah, Sam is pretty
literal. Yeah.
But then she got it. She's like, oh, eat, you got it.
And then she doped in him. I said, not on the couch, Sam,
let's go. That's my favorite mule.
All right, so after the Lymes, we go visit little Nung at
university and she's walking with folk minding her own
business when a couple of fan humans approach and they out her
as the voice of the infamous podcast.
Somehow this thing has taken off so much.
You know, what is your secret? Let us know.
So they're like, oh, you made the podcast, right?
Where are your fans? And at like at first it's
respectful right? They're telling Lil Nung, hey,
we just enjoy, enjoy your voice, we love your work.
But then like any fandom, shit gets toxic immediately when they
start gushing over how much cuter she is in real life and
stuff. And she's like Oh dear Oh dear.
Big Nung definitely would not be happy right now she was here.
She'd be like, well, you. What do you mean my?
Girlfriend's cute, right? No, she would out them their
relationship immediately. Yeah, I'd be like, don't touch
my girlfriend. Fuck you.
But unfortunately Big Nun is not there and poor Little Nung is
living her worst nightmare because her knight in shining
armor Big Nung is not with her because like you said, it'd go
down differently or not at all if intimidating Tiger Big Nung
was there, you know. But you know who is here?
Folk and Huey who eventually sees this and also comes to the
rescue. And together, her friends
extract a little Nung from the situation she is clearly
uncomfortable in. And I'm glad Lulung finally has
a supportive friend group who's willing to step in and help her
when she's overwhelmed. Like, you saw her freezing up.
Because at first the the fans are like, hey, can I get a
picture with you? And Little Long's like, yeah,
yeah. She just looks like a deer in
headlights, you know, like, she doesn't know what to do.
So I like that she has friends who are just, like, extra, like,
no, no, no, leave her alone. And, like, get her out of there.
She does not want to be there. UE.
Is her stand in knight in shining queer armor?
Side note, I love that UE shirt isn't tucked in and I was
thinking about it and it makes. UE look more.
Free. And because UE is.
Proud and able to be herself in public, whereas little Nung
wants to conform and not draw attention to herself because she
doesn't want to be the center of attention.
And she's also not allowed to be herself right now.
Like there is a part of her she's hiding.
So to me, like the shirt being tucked in means little.
None's doing what's expected of her.
Where UE's just like, I'm free. I can do what I want.
Yeah. That's a good, that's a good
read. I mean, UE never tucks, tucks
the shirt in. So, yeah, it's a way of not
conforming where UE doesn't conform to, like, the norms.
So I I like that. I think that tracks.
All right, so but the problem is that UI and folk aren't the best
bodyguards because they literally take a little long 5
feet away from the fan humans before stopping to talk to her.
But also like if you look in the frame, there's another pair of
fan humans taking photos or videos of little long in the
background. Like they didn't do a great job
of actually extracting her from the situation.
Like guys, next time take her out of the building.
Like safety first. Like, what was this?
They didn't have bodyguard training.
They didn't expect to have to be bodyguards.
No, but I know. But like, you could actually,
they've been her bodyguards for a while.
Like, yeah, remember, they had a conversation about it.
Well, at least UE is a bodyguard.
But like, come on, guys. There's other fans.
Like, get her out of there. Anyway.
Little Long is perplexed because she doesn't understand how
anybody found out she was the voice of the podcast.
It's like UE warned earlier, determined people will find
everything about you on the Internet, just ask Caitlin.
What like it's hard, it's creepy bug, it's not hard, it's so
easy. It's right there as long as you
use it for non nefarious purposes.
OK, but this was nefarious. It was outing somebody who
didn't want to be outed. Yeah.
But little comments that she's like, people have been staring
at me weird all day. And I felt uncomfortable at
school all day and I didn't know why until now.
And it's like, this is really disheartening to hear because
university seems like it was becoming a safe space for a Lil
nung, and now it's been destroyed by toxic fandom
behavior. So let us all take in the lesson
the writers are trying to address toxic fandom behavior
and how the voice behind the beautiful piece of art is a
human being with feelings. Let that soak in.
That's what they're trying to say.
Did it soak in yet? Did it soak in yet?
We need to respect, respect, respect the artists.
Respect the artists. Artists are people.
OK? After a quick Google search,
folk finds out that Lil Nung's fandom posted some problematic
fan art. Problematic as in it's a
complete invasion of her privacy and it's a photo of Lil Nung.
Yeah. Like, yeah, I'm the I'm the
master behind this podcast and Lil Nung hates the spotlight and
literally started an audio only podcast so she can get the feel
for her DJ life with while remaining anonymous.
And this was working for her. But now everybody, everything
she built is crumbling around her, which like this was going
so well. And now it's like everything's
destroyed and like one fell swoop because of like toxic fan
behavior. And I have to give a moment of
appreciation to the blank in turn that made the fan art
because Yoko in the in the screenshot is wearing a blank
the serious T-shirt, which I love.
So you gotta love their commitment to the product
placement in this particular episode.
It's like super odd point. That's a blank T-shirt from
their promo stuff. So love that they are so
committed to branding the show in the show.
It's yeah, no, I'm like, I was here for it.
I'm here for it. OK.
But this is also a really weird photo of her be online if she
isn't a public personality. Like how?
Did they even? Get this.
Like I understand. What they're trying to do, like
why was she doing there's? No way that this photo.
Exists right? Like what was the scenario where
little nun was doing this particular like yay pose because
little nung hates Why was where did this come from?
Where's the OG photo? I'm just curious.
Not exist all right, I'm just curious knowing little nung why
does this photo even exist? That's something not little
Nung. This is very evil twin sister.
Was this AI? Did I AI this?
It's possible. Anyways, little Wong is upset
and confused why people want to know who she is so badly that
they went through these links and you responds that it's
because her voice is beautiful and like OK I understand what
you was getting at but this exchange gives me quote pretty
girl trope vibes where like beauty is a curse and the price
for beauty is unwanted attention and quote pretty girls are
expected to just deal with that as part of being pretty, which
is complete bullshit. The pretty girl is little Nug in
this scenario and the pretty girl is not at fault for other
people's bad behavior because she's pretty.
Like that's on them for being creepy as fuck.
You know what I mean? That's like the school dress
code when you can't like wear spaghetti straps because it will
distract other people. Like why are you even looking at
your it makes no sense, right? That's what this exchange gave
me. It's like, well, I don't know,
if you were, it's so pretty, this wouldn't be happening.
It's like, again, you're victim blamed.
This is victim blaming. Pretty girl is victim blaming.
You're like, it's on her for attracting, making boys lose
control. It's on use for making your fans
lose control. Like, no, it's on them for
invading her privacy and outing her and being creepy.
OK. And then a little of them who
has, huh? Which is unfortunate.
Which is unfortunately a common thing in fandoms.
Yeah, the entitlement stuff, right.
That's that's what the writers are trying to talk about in the
show but not actually talking about it.
And Lil Nung who has the brain cell in every sheet in every
scene unless Brig Nung snatches it away with her big energy,
gives UE this look at the end where she seems disappointed
with the answer. Which like yeah this is a
bullshit answer to blame her for having a pretty voice because
this kind of excuse in real life just excuses toxic.
It's excusing the toxic Fanta behaviour.
And also, like I feel like Lil Nung seems a little
disappointing in UE because UE was the one handling the social
media stuff and assured her she had a handle on this.
Not that UI's the blame at all. I don't think that's that's not
the case. I think little long in the scene
is upset that this is happening and is having a lot of feelings.
It was like you you were watching social media, like how
did this like because they seem all seem very blindsided by
this. So it's weird that like nobody
outed she was outed. You know what I mean?
If their mom. Yeah.
I don't, I don't think Lumong monitors her own social media.
I think UI was the one doing it. So I think there's a level of
like, how did you not warn me? You know what I mean?
She's having a lot of feelings right now.
And like UI was the social media manager.
That's all I'm saying. Not that she's the blame.
Then folk chimes in with more helpful words than what UI was
saying and tells a little long. Listen it, what happened
happened. But you have us and we're here
to help you because like where your rider dies.
So no matter what, we got your back and we'll get you through
this. And at this, having support like
Lil Lung perks up because finally she has people that love
her and are willing to like fight battles together with her
instead of abandoning her immediately.
I love this smile so much at the end 'cause you can tell she
feels supportive and it's so nice to see little Nung secure
now than the trauma in the beginning of the show like I
love. I mean.
It's, it's a basic thing, but she didn't have it and now she
does and I really like it. I know she has also come a long
way in a lot of aspects of her life, which is really beautiful.
So after the camaraderie, the trio exits the building where
knight in shining armor Big Nung is waiting as always.
Got to be the first person Little Nung sees when she gets
out of school and Litlong approaches like a sad puppy and
Big Nun goes from yay to what the fuck happened?
Who do I have to murder? Like immediately she's like what
happened? What the fuck happened?
But there's like about 5 or so seconds of like weird silence in
between. Like no one speaks when they
come out but don't worry, there is a bird there to fill the
silence. Yeah, the Asian coal followed
Big Nung to the scene. And I'm sorry if you didn't
notice that before. Here we are.
It shows up because Big Nung Cinderella.
So after Little Big Nung starts looking worried, Hugh, he tells
Big Nung what happened. And Big Nung looks behind Little
Nung and notices a bunch of fan humans with their phones all out
taking photos. And Big Nung knows that that
attention makes Little Nung super uncomfortable.
So she immediately rolls with whatever is happening and let's
Little Nung drag her into the car because Little Nung's like,
I'll tell you later, we got to get out of here.
So she's like, OK. But before that could happen,
Big Nung tells you in folk get home safely.
And I think that's Big Nung code for.
Thank you. Yeah.
I was, like, really surprised at first that she told them to
cause, like, usually she just kind of like, ignores the other
people in the room with little nuns around.
No. Well, with them, she's always
like, make sure Little Nung's safe.
And they're like, yes, ma'am. And here she's like, you guys be
safe. So that's a thank you.
That's about their well-being, not Little Nung's well-being.
You did well, thank you. That's what she was saying also
behind her. Those people are definitely
taking photos of like them holding hands.
Yep and like I'm surprised drama didn't come out of this.
I'm surprised they did not use this at all.
Like I agree how how? OK So like little man has a
toxic fandom already. You don't think wherever these
bitches are hanging out their discord server or whatever
they're chatting in, you don't think there's photos of people
being jealous of big none? Because like OK, to the average
person they're like, oh, maybe that's her auntie or whatever.
Or like they wouldn't think anything of it cause of the age
gap. But a toxic fandom reads into
everything. It would be like, no, no, did
you see the way she was looking at her?
Look at that. They would be putting a timeline
together and be like, wait a minute, I saw her.
She comes picks her up every day and they're always smiling at
each other. You know that that they were
immediately would be a conspiracy about those two
dating immediately from a toxic fandom.
Like there's no way that doesn't happen.
Definitely, definitely. Like now there's photos of like
one holding her hand. Like there's no way anyway that
100% happened in the fandom but I guess like the fandom is not
credible so it never makes it to the news.
OK. But also they'd be like Oh well
here's probably what happened cuz the laws they're like wait
isn't that an ML? Like we can't run the story
without confirmation cuz laws, but the fandom could gossip all
they want cuz it's a fandom anyway.
There's no way those rumors weren't flying on the Internet.
They definitely they had. To be.
They had to be Also, these two are not subtle in public.
That's what I mean. Like, I think that now that they
know who little Nuggets, people who have like, maybe
peripherally noticed her have been like, yeah, you know, you
know, immediately there could be conspiracy theories.
Yeah, anyway, so while that so while a new fan fandom is
happening or fandom behaviour is happening about Big None and
Little None because it's definitely happening on the
Internet. Knight in shining armor Big None
whisks Little None away from the university And during the Dr.
Little None laments of over being outed as the podcast host
because she purposely did not reveal her identity or show her
face in association with the podcast and is truly baffled by
so many people cared enough about her identity to Internet
stalk her and then stalk her in real life.
But if you're on the Internet in any public capacity, you need to
be prepared for people to find you because like it's always a
possibility. And I'm it's like more
surprising that they haven't caught her with big none yet.
Like we just said, I mean literally I'm surprised the
fandom doesn't out them didn't out them.
And that was how I. Was really.
Expecting that to happen, that makes more sense than het than
Chet figuring out because he's an idiot.
The fans are way more smart. They figured this out.
Like there's no way they don't figure this out like that.
They're dating. They definitely would have
figured this out. Yeah, definitely.
No chat. Chat.
Figuring it out is like, not plausible.
Like, how did the fandom in the next episode not catch Big Don
kissing a little among his cheek outside the school?
Like, you don't think there's, there's some photos of that?
You know what I mean? You know what I mean?
There's no way I didn't figure that out.
Anyway, so Big Nung reasons that her fans probably like and
admire her so much that they just went through all this
trouble to figure out who she was.
And to me, Liu Nung seems over this because now her university
life just became 10 times more complicated than it was a minute
ago. She's just supposed to go to
school, do well, see, Big Nung now it's like, go to school,
dodge soccer's like not be be uncomfortable, like, what the
fuck? And so she kind of just keeps
like, expressing her frustration.
And Big Nung is listening. And to me in the car, like Big
Nung doesn't read as bothered or jealous.
Like when she's talking to Big Little Nung in this
conversation, it's more like she's simply stating facts about
Little Nung because she likes and admires Little Nung's
bravery to like, put herself out there through the podcast, which
is something Big Nung would never do unless under extreme
circumstances like we see later in the series.
I could see them doing a podcast together though.
Like Little Nung would be dragging Big Nung into it, but
then Big Nung would have so much fun.
It would literally be what Fi and Yoko do when they're
vlogging. Like it would literally be that
or it's always Yoko instigating shit and then I try to be all
cool and shit and then it cracks in like 5 seconds and they just
end up giggling and having fun. Like, that's literally what
their podcast would be. Yeah.
And we should be.
It's what their dynamic is entertaining.
It would be entertaining to be have Big Numb be like, I don't
want to do this. And then, like, end up, like,
getting into it at the end because she's having fun.
All right. So Big Numb explains too little
long that it doesn't take a functioning brain cell to figure
out why all these people are obsessed with her.
She's like, you're you're hot and your voice is beautiful.
I don't. I don't understand.
And like, I love Big Nong's trying to try her.
She's like, wait a minute. So your problems boil down to
like, you're beautiful. Your voice is beautiful.
Like cue the world's tiniest violin.
What a problem that like she's kind of like teasing her back
because Lum Nong's always teasing Big Nong.
She's like, you're so beautiful and blah, blah, blah.
And that's your problem. And like, come on now.
And so she gets to like do it back and be like, really?
That's your problem. But all little mung hears is
wow, she thinks I'm pretty. Of course that's that would be
her take away. That's the take away.
She's like, wow, Big Nug thinks I'm pretty.
All right. After all the flattery, then big
Nug's insecurities come out where she says those people
probably, you know it all real awesome are trying to take
pictures with you. Be like, do you think it's
they're just fans or they're like they want to date you?
Like what do you think this really is?
Because like, this is extreme behavior to be to be fair.
And that's when Little Nung looks over the the Big Nung and
gives her this tremendous side eye.
Because how could Big Nung even think this?
Little Nung has told her repeatedly from day one that Big
Nung is the most important person in her life, and her
feelings for Big Nung never change.
And she's appalled that Big Nung would even joke about that.
And Big Nun's like, wait, no, no, she's like, listen, listen,
I'm not trying to be funny with you.
I I'm just, I'm curious because again, like, to me, Big Nun
doesn't read as like jealous or anything.
She's just like, no, I'm just, what do you think this is
happening? Like?
Because like, after all, to anyone that isn't them or Mon or
Sam or I guess Juan Viva, now little Nung is a single
attractive woman and she's comes from a wealthy family.
So like, she's a catch. And suddenly Lin Nung has all
these new admirers her age that are into the same things as she
is. Hence why they were listening to
this podcast in the 1st place. And we're coming back to the
racing metaphor, OK, coming into fruition.
Remember when Big Nung's like, maybe you should let me go and
be with somebody your own age metaphorically through all this
running talk? Well, here's that scenario.
Big Nung's starting to think now she's like, oh, well, shit.
Well, I, OK, I don't like actually being in this position
where I could actually lose you to one of these admirers.
And deep down, Big Nung doesn't want to let Little Nun go.
Like, selfishly, she doesn't want to let her go.
She doesn't want to lose her. And she's like, crap.
Now you have all these like people like I, I, I, I do, I
need to be threatened like the way my quote admirers are
threatening to you. So that's what's going on with
Big Dunks. And now we transitioned into the
Given Mouse, a cookie negotiation for how to make this
situation less complicated because this is getting
complicated, right? You know, now Big Nugs got a
little violin playing. So before Big Nun can overthink
this, Little Nung derails her thoughts by suggesting, how
about I just fake date folk? That'll make the situation less
complicated because publicly I'll be dating somebody and
they've seen me with folk. It won't be a shock and Big
Nog's face when she suggests this says I hate this idea with
a passion because Big Nog says she's like, you absolutely
cannot do this because it would make things more complicated,
but complicated for who? Big Nog who's who's going to be
more complicated for this is she's like, what the hell are
you thinking? But I am sure at this point
Little Nung has heard countless fake dating books and has read
at least one to Big Nung. Oh yes, I know.
It's different because Folk is a dude, but Big Nung isn't taking
any chances. What if they actually fall in
love? OK, OK, there's that.
There's that hilarity that would never happen.
But also yes, Big Nung is like, how dare you date anybody that
isn't me? That's number one reaction.
But #2 the more logical thing she's actually worried about in
the scenario is that like, OK, if you suddenly start fake
dating folk and then we tell your family that you are fake
dating folk, that erases all of the headroom I'm trying to make
with getting them to accept your queerness.
Because if you just start dating a man, they're going to forget
about the queerness. And then how can we bridge make
a bridge so that we can be together?
Because like big nun in the background is trying to build
that bridge to be like, except she's queer, except she wants to
date a woman one day, except that.
So if folk comes into the picture, all of that comes
crumbling down and like, and so in a way, she's right.
It will make things more complicated because then like
it's going to be even more shocking that they're dating and
they'll be like, what do you mean you were dating a man?
Go back to that. You're not queer.
You know what I mean? That would happen,
unfortunately, Yeah, So. And I think that Little Nung
reads the subtext of Big Nung's possessiveness in this moment.
Because she is. Because the first reaction is
how dare you date someone that isn't me?
Because Little Nung's next suggestion is designed to get
the cookie she's been after since the two O 2 dream scene.
OK, so little young says well how about I just tell the entire
world my girlfriend I have a girlfriend and that way no one
will try and date me, including stupid men and then stupid men
like my useless father won't try to date you either.
How about we just? Do that like.
Have you met men? They're still going to try.
This is little young trying to get a cookie and not actually
solve that problem. But yes.
So translation. What she's actually saying is
can I tell the world you're my girlfriend?
That's what she's saying because this is how little Nung labels
big Nung girlfriend in her brain.
And let us all recall the scene in two O 2 when little Nung
asked big Nung, are we girlfriends now?
Remember the morning after scene?
She's like, are we girlfriends now?
And big Nung at that time was like unable to label it.
So this is what I'm trying again where she's suggesting to big
Nung, how about we just tell people we're girlfriends like
the label and what does big Nung do?
She says no and immediately little Ng's like fuck.
But then Big Nun continues and she goes.
It'll be even worse if we did that.
You shouldn't do anything, which would.
It's just Big Nung talk for don't tell people I'm your
girlfriend. That's going to make this more
complicated. So Little Nung gets her cookie
of Big Nung admitting she thinks of me as her girlfriend.
Perfect. I win.
She's like that. That's.
All I need, but like again, this is a scene of like them not
talking about it, but talking about it and so like they never
have the RB girlfriends conversation ever again, but
here it is. They little one got her cookie.
Yep, that's all the confirmation she needs, but I feel like she
would still want to tell everybody that she's her
girlfriend just gave her permission to be like I can call
you my girlfriend and I can you are you think of me as your
girlfriend. That's all I needed to know.
That's fine. And Little Nung, who finally got
her cookie, is so happy. Because again, this proves that
Big Nung labels Little Nung as her girlfriend in her brain,
even though she's never directly asked Little Nung to be her
girlfriend, nor has she ever used the girlfriend label out
loud. So it's enough for Little Nung
to know that's how Big Nung sees her.
Because big nun again is never going to offer that.
So hydrate for little Nung. Because she played Big Nung
perfectly and finally secured her girlfriend status.
So good for you, you got the ultimate cookie in the same.
Great job, little Nung. She got a cookie cake.
So they are officially girlfriends as of this episode.
All right? And she can't stop smiling.
And then there's this brief moment where they look at each
other and no words are spoken. And Little Nung has to like,
because she's smiling. She's like, yeah, she just
admitted it. And I don't think Big Nung is so
worried about the Little Nong dating anybody else scenario.
She doesn't realize what she just said.
So she looks at Little Nong. And Little Nong's like, no, I'm
being I'm just, I'm being real serious right now.
This is no laughing that I'm being serious.
And then baby is like, good, you better be serious.
No words are exchanged. This is all with her eyes.
And then she goes back to driving.
And then Little Nong is like, oh, my God, she thinks I'm her
girl. Like, she just started smiling.
She's like she he's not her girlfriend.
Anyway, it's hilarious. So I love the two of them
because yeah, Big Bang has no idea what she just confessed to.
And so I just love that little Long's like, I'm just going to
keep quiet because, you know, just silently celebrating in the
car. So I love that I was.
Just like why are you happy? Because like little long has
done this before. This is the same move and what
was it 204 when they're in the hallway and she's like gets her,
gets big none to admit she likes her by being like she's like,
you must hate me and she's like, I don't hate you.
She's like, well, I hate. Is it love and big nose like
yes. And then I was like and big nose
like fuck, what did I just say? And one of those?
Like you said it, you said it. This is the same scenario, but
instead of pointing it out, you said it.
She's just like, she's too serious right now.
I'm just going to let her do whatever and I'm just going to
celebrate that I got it. I got the cookie.
All right, so after that officially girlfriends moment,
the the nuns arrive at Lilong's grandmother's house and there's
an unfamiliar car in the driveway and Lung's like, oh
God, whose car is this? Like I, I think her brain is
like, do I have another mystery parent?
Is this another suitor for me, for big Nung, a fandom stalker?
Like what is going on? Whose car is this?
I think she's worried. She's like, what the fuck is
this? What the fuck is this?
Another mystery parent? Oh my gosh.
But Big Mum kind of looks at it in the beginning and there's a
split second where it looks like she's thinking that asshole.
I told him not to do it. Absolutely.
He never listens. He never listens.
We're getting way too much chat right now, and I'm not into it.
I mean, we gotta get him in here.
He's part of the drama. So yeah, Big Nung explains.
She's like, look, it's your car, little nun.
And one one's like, what? What?
Why? Because she doesn't understand.
Why would she? She didn't ask for any of this.
But also, Big Nung didn't fully know that it was her car.
She just assumed she's assuming, right?
It could have been a mystery parent, could have been a
stalker. You don't know, Like, it could
have been folks new car. She's she's also assuming in the
scene. I wonder if Chet's.
I don't know. No, that doesn't make sense.
Anyway. Maybe he showed her a picture of
the car that he wanted to get her.
I you know, maybe he called her off screen and was like, I did
it and she's like, you accepted her and he's like, no, I bought
her a car. What do you mean?
That would definitely be how it went.
I would definitely be how that went.
So unfortunately they go inside where Chad explains he went
through hit with his ill advised plan to purchase Little Mung's
love. I mean a car.
And just like that, the little just as the little Nung
whisperer predicted, Little Nung then tells Chet straight up, I
don't want a car. I don't know how to drive and I
don't want to learn how to drive.
And really, why would she want to?
Having the love of her life drive her around means they get
to spend more time together, which is all little at once.
Also, cars are scary and she's about to get her own car drama
in the next episode, so I understand.
Yeah, it's OK. And then and then if you notice,
little Nung tries to look to big Nung for help in this
conversation, be like, how do Get Me Out of this?
But she's like, she goes to look, but then doesn't she like
stops herself from making eye contact to like, play with big
Nung? And I read this as little Nung
coming into her adulthood with her family.
So instead of like looking to an older adult, like the knight in
shining armor to help her, she's gonna stand up for herself by
fully facing off with Chet and the grandmother and standing up
for what she wants instead of being like big nun, Get Me Out
of this, like speak on my behalf.
You have more authority. Like Liu Nung stands for ground
in this conversation with them, which is different because
again, she is like you said, a she's a full blown woman at this
point. And like they need to see her
that way. That's the issue.
So the family members her like that.
But will they ever? Actually see her like that
eventually, yeah, just, you know, she's it takes time.
Like she just like left the nest or whatever like you know what I
mean. Takes time.
So the family members reactions are predictable but still
heartbreaking. So started Chad.
So Chad doesn't understand why she doesn't want a car.
So he mansplains why cars are good, which is him projecting
his own opinions onto her, as always, without listening to
her. Meanwhile, the grandmother's
face falls when Little Nung rejects Chet's gift.
She's more concerned with Little Nung's quote, disrespectful
behavior than what Little Nung is telling everybody she wants.
She tells Little Nung to accept the gift out of politeness
regardless of whether or not she wants it.
And Chet is pleased with this logic and hands over the keys to
Little Nung and little ones like, all right, well, I guess
I'm being backed into a corner. And so she mulls us over for a
second while Big Nog looks super annoyed at this entire thing
because like, she tried to prevent this from happening.
And Big Nog empathizes with Little Long on the scene and
knows that Little Long is being backed into a corner by family
obligation right now. That's what's actively happening
in the scene. I mean, yes, it does make sense
that the grandmothers, like, you're being rude and it's
reflecting on me. Like, I raised you better than
that quote, but the issue is that Chet doesn't listen.
So, like, you can't be polite to him.
Yes. Yeah.
It's basically Chet's the entire issue in the show.
Yeah. So yeah, Little Nung is.
He's the issue. And Little Nung is again, being
backed into a corner by family obligation.
Big Nung feels empathetic towards her.
But Little Nung is no ordinary bitch.
She's a petty bitch who gets what she wants.
So Little Nung meets Chet halfway and she's like, OK, I'll
take the car but only if Big Nung can teach me how to drive
inside of you. And that's when Little Nung
finally makes eye contact with Big Nung.
And she's like please Big Nung, you can't say no to me.
But again, Big Nung's like we are in a family situation right
now. And so she starts looking over
at Chet and the family dynamics start get more awkward because
Lil Nong again is begging Big Nong to agree to this, to what
she wants and not what Chet's saying.
And he's the father in the scenario and the gift giver.
And Big Nong who knows the protocol here, looks at Chet and
silently asking him for permission.
She's like, can I give her what she wants?
Because that's the protocol in this situation, you know?
So like, and you would think this is the woman who rejected
him openly when it was them alone.
And why is she doing this? Because Big Nung is trying her
damnedest to balance her girlfriend's happiness with
scoring points with the girlfriend's family to stay in
their good graces when their relationship inevitably comes
out. So Big Nung can do the proper
thing by suggesting to Little Nung what she does.
She's like, how about you let your dad teach you to drive like
so that he can show you how to use the gift and also like you
guys can bond, which is really what he's trying to do here.
Like then you can decide whether or not you actually hate him or
not once you get to know, not that you don't know him, but
like you guys don't know each other really.
It's just chest abrasive. You know the worst and doesn't
listen. But little young doesn't see it
that way. She's like, you know, from her
point of view, this is another instance of everyone, everyone
dismissing her feelings and not listening to her.
So she openly starts pouting and for once ever once when Little
Nung starts pouting, Chet reads the room and agrees to Little
Nung's terms. I am honestly shocked that he
agreed to let Big Nung teach her.
I really thought the whole point of this car was to trap her in a
confined space so she would have to spend time with him.
But now it's just like an expensive gift.
I mean, in the same way it's trying to buy her love, but I
feel like the bonding part of it was his goal as well.
Yeah. And if you notice, she didn't
want either of them. She's like, I don't want the
gift. I don't want your love.
I don't want either of those things.
So Big Nung talked her kind of into half the gift a little bit.
Like, I'll take the car, but I don't want you attached.
I don't want to attach. I don't want to owe you
anything. Like, I don't want anything from
you is what little Nung is really saying.
And I think it we'll get into the next scene, what actually
clicks for chat. But like, he's like, OK, if I
can at least give you the car, I'll take that when at least I'm
being a father in the scene in one capacity.
If she doesn't want to spend time with me, she'd rather Big
Nung treat her. It's Little Nung showing who she
loves, and that's when he's like, all right, fine.
So Little Nung perks up immediately and hands a
flabbergasted Big Nung car keys and bigness.
Like, fuck, I didn't think that was going to work.
God damn it, I'm going to teach your drive.
All right, so. After that, for some reason,
Chet and Big Nung have a sidebar out by the pool because Big Nung
is upset and she's like, and so she's soaking my bodies of
water. So I assume Chet came out there.
I was like, all right, let's let's talk 'cause we put our
conversation on hold and the first thing he says is he's
like, Ping Pho was right. Little Nung only loves you.
That's what he that's what finally clicked for him in that
scene that like, because again, he's he doesn't listen about how
to actually get his daughter to love him.
He's just going about it his way and it does not work.
And this was, I think the one of the final nails in the coffin
for him with his methods where he's like, wow, like, yeah, she
only loves big nun because big nun is there.
And she's like, no, I only I only want her to show me.
I don't want you. And he's like, OK, that fine.
Like is clicking. It's amazing what happens when
you treat someone like a person. Yep, that's amazing.
Which he still doesn't understand.
So because again he's expressing his frustration, he's like hey,
she's like Bidalong does not love her parents.
She only loves you big Nung, and nobody can compete with you for
her affection. No one can.
Compete with Big Nung to begin with.
Well, there's that, but they don't know that.
And this entire conversation could be summed up with this one
line for Big Nung, which is I just said it, but you never
listened because she's like, it's easy to get her to love
you. I've told you a million times
what to do. And you're not listening because
Chen is still clueless about Little Wong.
And Big Nong is just like, just listen.
That's literally it. Stop asking me these questions.
I'm done. And then he tries to broach the
marriage topic again. He's like, well, we can be one
big happy family. She loves you.
And then if I love you, she'll love me.
And then maybe you'll love me. And it's like, bro, can we not?
He just doesn't get. It like.
I know we've talked Adausium at this point about how stupid he
is, but there's no indication that she loves you at all.
Neither of these women love you like no.
Why would they add you, right? Why would they add you to the
equation? Their math already works.
Adding you does not add anything to like.
It does not benefit either of these women.
It just benefits you. And they they can see that
you're the only one that can't see that.
So anyway, what I do like about this conversation, I will not go
into this conversation at nauseam because we've already
done this. But what I do like is that big
Nung does call him out directly for using Little Nung as an
excuse to wife her. So it's like, thank you, Big
Nung for also pointing out the obvious that he's using his
daughter. He claims to want to get to
know. And she's like, look, this is
impossible between us. Stop trying to stop trying to
make fetch happen. It's not going to happen, Chad.
He then says that they are perfect for each other and I
really want to know how he came to this conclusion 'cause I'm
sure what he meant. Was you look.
Perfect. On my arm.
Yeah. No, this is all about how they
look on paper. That's all this.
That's what the. That's why they were set up in
the 1st place by the Grand Man. Remember, The Grand Man vetted
Chet. How is Chet?
Why is Chet here? The Grand Man?
The Grand Man vetted him. She was like, OK, prominent
family, Prime Minister. You have aspirations.
Everything looks clean. You can marry my eldest
daughter. And then he's like, yeah, we do
look great on paper. That's it, That's it.
It's cuz the Gray man, that's why that shit.
That's what he means. We're perfect on paper.
And now we are even more perfect because I have a daughter.
You love my daughter. I love my daughter.
Now we can all be a happy family together.
Like that's perfect. Like I've seen you parent her a
quote or whatever and she loves you.
That makes it perfect because she doesn't even love her own
parents. So there is a moment where it
looks like Big Numg rolls her eyes of it, because yes, she
definitely loves and adores little Nung.
Just not in the way he thinks. No, it never is in the way they
think. Nope.
Which makes all these conversations awkward for Big
Nung constantly. All right, so eventually Chet's
brain cell, the only one he has, starts functioning enough to put
something very important together.
And he's like, wait a minute, do you not want to marry me because
you love somebody else? And Big Nung answers this by not
answering this, which means yes and instead says let's chat.
That's that's a moot point because what matters is that I
don't love you and I never have. And like for us to get married,
that is my only requirement. So that makes it impossible.
I don't love you. And Chet sighs a lot during
this. And Big Nung says, I hope you
understand because she's as tired as we are of having this
circular conversation with Chet. She's like, this is the last
time I'm going to talk about this because I can't.
I live. There's literally no more words.
I got nothing else. The rest of the series that led
up to this point in this episode we've had to talk about.
And it's only half of the episodes so far.
Chet, we've. Had the same conversation
multiple times and I don't she's like, how?
How else do I need to say this to you?
No, Chet, no. Stop trying to wipe me.
I don't want to wipe you anyway. Fuck Chet.
So that's where we're going to conclude this.
Unfortunately, that's yeah, we can't get into the rest of this
episode because we've already been here for three hours
talking so Taylor Swift songs. Oh.
I don't think we brought up one for this episode.
I don't think so. Either we just brought up a lot
of like movie references exile because like.
Yeah, I mean that's for chat. It's.
So much like there's so many signs, Jet.
The biggest sign is her saying no, that is very and he's like
you, you gave never a warning sign.
No. And she's like, I gave so many
signs, Jet, you still don't. Get it?
I told you. Straight up, I don't like you,
right? Straight up.
That's what I mean. She's taken every tactic with
this man and he's still like, I don't get it.
I'm sorry. She doesn't run away just to be
like again, to be like, do you get it now anyway, with Little
Nun? Obviously not by herself.
Yeah, I think exile, and then I think paper rings.
Was little Nung in the car when she's like, you're going to
marry me one day because you love me?
I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings.
That's little Nung's brain. Yeah, the one I learned.
Yeah, that's what I learned with the marriage stuff.
Oh my gosh, I love how every time we come to this section, I
all Taylor Swift songs leave my mind.
I mean All Too Well because not not like the actual story.
All Too Well is Chet, but it's not accurate.
All Too Well is just like we've been here before no, but like
the pining is Chet he's like he still has her scarf that the.
Grandmother like. You know what I mean?
Like and he's like, you left the best thing you ever had and blah
blah, blah, nong, you could have me back.
And then she's like, that is not what happened, I think at all.
I think Chet is teardrops on my guitar.
I believe it was like true looks at me and it's just like all
about the things like she's just existing and and he's just like
pining for her, basically. Yeah, OK.
A big gay energy award. To me.
It's Little Nung getting Big Nung to admit that she's her
girlfriend any time she plays those games and gets big Nung to
admit shit like that. And this time big Nung has no
idea she said it. How like so much lesbian.
She's a senator and it's a good job.
One mug. Mine I think is 1.
Viva actually, one Viva was good in the scene.
Yeah. I like, I really like that scene
because one, it shows that she's accepting.
I mean, she's got big energy herself so much she's off the
charts. Yeah.
And just be like, come on, you're we have to hydrate for
you so much. Look at yourself.
Look at little note, you guys, you're obvious.
Like the line, you're so obvious, fully accurate.
So I give it to one Viva. Yep.
All right, all right. Well.
If you made it this far in the episode, I'm going to give you a
secret word for you to use in a review or a comment, just
naturally. So today's word is pseudonym.
Little Nung should have used a pseudonym.
I mean, or an alias. Yeah.
Is that what that means? I don't know the full
definition. Oh, my God.
Anyway, spell it. Have fun with that.
Yeah. Although the people, I mean, you
guys are out of yourselves. They're like, I watch this with
subtitles. So then it tells me how to sell.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that car.
I was like, well. Damn it.
I don't like these words in other languages.
Anyway, so that was that. So we'll be back next time to
conclude the last two parts of episode 4.
And until next time, hydrate for Lesbian Jesus and get it up all
over the place. Bye.
