These are killing me 🤣 just wanted to sharehttps://www.tumblr.com/guzhu-furen/730536494628995073/only-friends-text-posts-pt-34-bonus?source=share
🤣🤣🤣 Tumblr is having a field day!! And you know what's so hilarious, before last Saturday all the angsty songs used to be edits for Ray and Sand, while Nick and Boston's edits were always with raunchy songs like Unholy, and I Wanna Be Your Slave, etc..... But now on Tumblr, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube BostonNick edits are chalk full with all the most angsty, pining, breakup, sad songs... I'm dying from laughing🤣🤣🤣
Boston must have some gold standard cajones cos that love confession was so random. This same Boston nick that…
Right?? Everything just fell into place after that scene. I'm gonna go as far as to say I haven't watched a better-acted, scripted confession/goodbye scene in BLs (even straight dramas). We all thought Nick was pathetic and that Boston was a monster with no feelings, and we were wrong in both cases! Nick is more courageous and honest than so many of them, and Boston is just a human ( a flawed human), but a human with feelings nonetheless.... It was a beautiful scene, the background, the lighting all of it was magical.✨ I can't wait to see them either in the remaining episodes.💕

I think this is literally what I analyzed them too lmao... of how they are perfect for each other, infact the best love story (or the only love story in OF)
It's evident that Boston was affected by Nick's words. Yet, even without Dan by Nick's side, I believe Boston…
100% Agreed! He hates "drama", and yet he went after Nick. He looked at his hookup, when he called Nick "dramatic", like 'hey only I get to say that to him, no one else calls Nick dramatic'! And that look on his face, staring at Nick and Dan smiling together, is the most broken I've seen Boston look...

The thing is even if they were doing the nasty 80% of the time, that 80% was when Boston was the happiest. And Nick did LOVE him, like love him. And I mean of course what Nick did wasn't just stalker-ish, it was what stalkers do!!! BUT, I think what happened is that neither of them is completely mentally A-OKAY... They both have their issues and Boston especially has always shunned connections, especially long-lasting ones, because he knows he'll leave and that is just burdensome, so he treats everything as use and throw.... And I don't know, but I'm speculating he also treats LOVE similarly probably watching his parents, coupled with the fact that Boston uses both himself and others with sex as a currency in exchange for something like a good time, a power play, a way of feeling good about himself, a trade-off, a way to obtain conquests, which at the END OF THE DAY makes Boston extremely lonely... He is a human and you can't avoid connections just like that... BUT NOBODY SEES/OR SAW THE HUMAN BOSTON, not the evil, villainous slutty, assholey Boston, but also the artist Boston, the humane Boston underneath..... UNTIL MR. NICHOLAS ARRIVES.
And I'm very intrigued by Nick's character too, I wish we got some backstory... But Nick as we can see is very naive, very impulsive, and introspective but strangely and foolishly thinks that he is clever... He has abandonment issues, and self-esteem issues too... But what he has that Boston never had was EMPATHY, intense EMPATHY, or clinically illegal empathy, with which he sees the world. And he in his own warped mind accepts Boston, good, bad, and ugly, and even if to Boston they were just FWB, those times he spends with Nick are enjoyable, happy, pleasurable (in a different, not exactly sexual way) unknowingly allowing Nick to burrow under his skin. And even though Nick loves Boston, most assuredly, still he does feel upset too... And we saw that when he told Mew about Gap... But the thing is Nick feels things deeply, more deeply than the others, and in a way he is softer, gentler, and more straightforward than probably anyone Boston has ever known.
And before Boston could even comprehend what had happened in his strictly FWB relationship with Nick, he was ALREADY ATTACHED TO him. He never considered that he would be the one pining for something other than sex, but he did, and that's why Nick's betrayal seemed so drastic for him. Because he genuinely was becoming fond of Nick. But Boston would never have acted on this feeling, instead choosing to bury it away IF NICK HADN'T GIVEN HIS FINAL GOODBYE MONOLOGUE TO HIM.
Nick changed the trajectory of their relationship. THE FIRST PERSON TO SAY SORRY TO BOSTON. To say that I appreciate you, I think you're not a terrible person even if you think so, and I appreciate your dreams and hope you achieve them one day and I love-you-enough-to-let -you-go.... And finally goodbye my lover, I wish you nothing but the best, shook Boston because not only was Nick brave, he was vulnerable, he owned up to his mistakes and he affirmed that yes, you made me happy and I see you, all of you and I still love you. It broke Boston to be 'loved' at all, but in this way by a man, he cheated on and broke his heart.... Also, I want to add, that a lot of people make fun of how Nick eavesdropped on other of Boston's hookups but poetically it is so ironic because in that moment Nick was actually grounding Boston away from another one of his meaningless hook-ups, stopping him from running away from his actual thoughts and processes... And what was very interesting was it was Nick apologizing and bidding him farewell, but it was Boston who couldn't meet his eyes.
I would also like to add, that honesty is Boston's saving grace, something we also see in Nicholas in episode 9, like two peas in a pod.
Lastly, I think all credit goes to Mark and Neo for fleshing out such complex, criminal characters with such finesse, humanity, and vulnerability with so little screentime.
Like he would have kissed and made-up, lmao... Nick would've been like WTF dude? You've been wanting me off your case the whole time, and NOW, literally when you're seconds away from another hook-up you wanna get together with me, just cause I said you might be a good photographer??!!!!
You touched my heart, you touched my soul Changed my life and all my goals And love is blind, and that I knew when My heart was blinded by you I've kissed your lips and held your head Shared your dreams and shared your bed I know you well, I know your smell I've been addicted to you Goodbye my lover Goodbye my friend You have been the one You have been the one for me: Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt
Meanwhile Boston to Nick:
This is me praying that This was the very first page Not where the story line ends My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon I was enchanted to meet you Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you: Enchanted To Meet You by Taylor Swift.

You touched my heart, you touched my soul
Changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind, and that I knew when
My heart was blinded by you
I've kissed your lips and held your head
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
I've been addicted to you
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me: Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt
Meanwhile Boston to Nick:
This is me praying that
This was the very first page
Not where the story line ends
My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again
These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you: Enchanted To Meet You by Taylor Swift.
