I AM THIS 🤏 CLOSE TO WRITING A BARTH ESSAY IN HERE BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE TOO COMFORTABLE CALLING HIM THE DEVIL FOR MAKING TANRAK EMBRACE QUEER DESIRE WHEN THE VERY POINT OF THE SHOW IS TO CHALLENGE THE CATHOLIC NOTION THAT QUEERNESS IS A SIN.

The Catholic setting sure positions Barth as the bad influence or the "serpent," but he's been less than subtly portrayed as a godsend: so much that the key moments that brought him closer to - thunderstorms, crucifix falling, power outage - are acts of God.

Don't wanna type it so here are some screenshots from my DMs with @Loooreleii_ about how Aof's direction paints Barth as a "divine presence" in Tanrak's life.
the girls trust him so much they literally share a bed with him and are completely comfortable around him. andddd they treat him like one of the girls🥺
a man that you are, ohmtpk. i just know i can trust him <33
There's some scenes that are just a 'moment', y'know? something special, something extra, it stands out, something that will be an iconic scene for years to come. I think we can all list these iconic scenes from GMMTV shows over the years and I think this just joined them.
The thing with Fourths performance is there is barely any dialgue in a lot of his scenes, it's all internal and it's about his expressions, his body language, his eyes, you being able to feel what he's feeling and wresting with. He's doing an incredible job. #TickeToHeavenEp3
the ep starting with barth saying that he won't confess cause it's not like god will listen to him anyways but then the ep ends with barth confessing to tanrak because he thinks god may not listen but tanrak will AND THE WHOLE SCENE LOOKS LIKE A CONFESSIONAL.
