Fatal Attraction - KINNPORSCHE

An interlude to the power series

I was just thinking about how this man:

And this man:

Look like two completely different people. And that got me thinking about what it means for Kinn, the Theerapanyakul heir and his power.

Korn, in his (almost) infinite wisdom thinks Kinn's relationship with Porsche is the apple juice that'll dull his knife. My take is completely different. You see, what makes Ep. 8 Kinn different from the version we saw between Eps 1 and 5 is that this Kinn is being unburdened of personal pain and angst. This Kinn is being given the personal autonomy the previous Kinn did not have. The result? A stronger mind, a stronger leader. Now that Kinn is working on moving on from the shambles of his Tawan-Era self, he has the bandwidth to compartmentalise and stop being Khun Kinn 24/7. Which effectively means that he's achieving the public-private dichotomy that Machiavelli wanted for his Prince. He's stabilising his power and his hold on his kingdom.

Kinn is also developing what is known as Referent Personal Power here- power that comes from people swearing loyalty to you out of reverence/love. It's the sort of stable, long-lasting power that all publicists/campaign managers ideally want their clients to amass.

Now am I saying that his budding relationship with Porsche means only good things? Nope. Because this is where my analysis of Porsche's power comes into play. This newfound influence Kinn is indulging in is a product of Porsche bestowing that power on him. But in this contract, Kinn has signed away his personal and emotional safety to Porsche I fucking beseech thee dude DO NOT piss Porsche off . That leaves a lot of chinks in his armour exposed; especially to somebody as sharp as Vegas.

Fortunately, however, with Porsche (the Queen) willingly taking his place beside Kinn; Korn's All Knowing Chess Play is finally coming to fruition and - in ways that Korn didn't intend HAH! or (perhaps) even want - the Queen piece is now personally invested in keeping Kinn safe. And Porsche accepting his place as Queen means that Kinn is also stepping out of his Prince peraona into his King persona.

This is Kinn unknowingly working up to truly stepping into his own as the Don of the Theerapanyakul family.

Why do you think porche is Quick to forgive People who sexually harresed him? I liked alot the lovey dovey kinnporche ,and i liked when vefasız and porche talep normally but....but.

I think Porsche is quick to forgive people who apologize, honestly.

If Porsche thinks you genuinely regret what you did? He will forgive you. Because he wants to believe in a good world.

Look at Chay. Remember that Porsche raised him. Look at how kind he is, how loving he is, how wonderfully positive and joyous he is.

That's Porsche's influence.

Porsche accepts apologies and looks for the best in people.

It's why Vegas has such an easy time manipulating him. It's why it's so easy to downplay his pain and trauma.

Porsche is the kind of person who forgives and who cares and who just wants the world to be kinder. Or at least that's who he was. Who he is as he works more and more with the mafia is yet to be seen.

But both Kinn and Vegas apologized to Porsche and both apologized gently and while looking for mercy and Porsche has never been one to deny mercy.

Remember how he couldn't watch a man get beaten for debt? That's the core of Porsche, a man who cannot watch someone else get beaten, someone else get punished, someone else punish themselves.

He will speak forgiveness even before he's ready to forgive fully because he'd much rather forgive than hold onto anger.

(no book spoilers)

TITANIC (1997)

Real Fear, or Part of the Plan?

We know what Kinn is like when he's in love.

He goes all in. The only time he resists Porsche is when Porsche pulls his hand away. Besides that, Kinn pretty much let's Porsche do whatever. Which is romantic, right?

Until we remember that in his previous relationship,

Which would have also been alright because people in relationships lie. They don't always do the right thing. And if we're to believe Tawan's story, his family was in danger.

Cool.

Except, when we add the dynamics between them. Because Tawan is all cool and calm with Porsche.

But the moment Kinn shows up,

And then as soon as he has Kinn's protection, as soon as he notices the familiar chinks in Kinn's armour, he changes.

His words get curt. His voice is deeper. His smiles disappear. He makes Kinn know that he isn't budging and Kinn relents.

Also, this scene.

Kinn tries to set a boundary. But the moment Tawan says,

Kinn, once again, obeys.

It isn't even like Kinn has one second where he considers, "hmm, maybe I feel something for him." Nope. Because look at his face throughout the whole thing.

Kinn wants to be anywhere else.

AND YET,

Powerful, stern, boss Kinn can't do anything about it. He hates being there but he just sits through it, allowing Tawan to rub his head on his crotch.

Even when Kinn tries to raise his voice, Tawan laughs in his face.

He laughs in the face of someone who's shot him before. He mocks Kinn's temper because he's seen it before he knows how to get around it.

When Kinn yells, others scramble. When he yells at Tawan, Tawan reminds him of their history. He's not scared of Kinn.

Which makes me wonder, is Kinn playing up his insecurities as a way to fool Tawan into old habits, or is this really how he feels, how he's been pushed to act around Tawan, because of their past?

Because, regardless of whether Kinn's behaviour now is fake or real, the truth still remains that Tawan recognises this behaviour. And if he does, then that must mean that this was how Kinn used to act when they were in a relationship, scared, obedient and unable to truly be himself.

Kinnporsche is breaking so many stereotypical expectations and I'm honestly loving it. This has definitely been addressed by people smarter and more eloquent than me. But i feel like it is worth repeating.

All of the times when i felt like Kinn would blow off Porsche's opinions, thoughts, worries etc by either mocking him or using sex to distract him, i was proven wrong. There's something absolutely amazing in how willing they are to sit and discuss their feelings, thoughts, actions and also how open they are with apologies - Which i think is the biggest factor because as a person in line to inherit the biggest crime family, Kinn, on a surface level looks like someone who will not apologise until you aim a gun at him. But we've already seen him apologise easily before and it definitely sets the tone for what to expect from him as a character as we move further into the plot.

Kinn is always willing to sit down and talk. Is Porsche? He can be, it certainly isn't his first choice but he definitely can be persuaded into talking about his problems. (Will it mean less angst in terms of Tawan Arc? Who knows?)

The point to my nonsensical ramblings is that, Kinnporsche continues to break the stereotypes we have associated with shows like this, and also sets a tone for a potentially healthy relationship in terms of open lines of communication. They wake up every day and 7 out of 10 days, decide to be adults and actually communicate. Which is so healing for my soul.

Everyone say thank you KinnPorsche for reaching the bar that was already on the floor and lifting it up for all of us.

So I know people be asking the big questions about last week's Kinnporsche and what's coming up tomorrow (for me at least in GMT+10). But it has sort of been bugging me all week...

When did Kinn get his lucky gun back to threaten Vegas with it?

Can people stop talking about how explicit KP is already! It’s +18 show. It’s made for adults with an adult content.

Y’all gotta stop! So what? It’s alright when straight people have any scene they like and how they like but when gays do it’s suddenly too explicit for your taste? Like what’re you even on about???

If you don’t like it don’t watch it. Simple as that…

Porsche Pachara is in love

It’s understandable that there are other elements of the show fans are anticipating but our titular character, Porsche Pachara Kittisuwan, falling in love for the first time in his life is not something to be missed or filler.

Watching Porsche’s desire to nurture their relationship and his momentary fear as he pulled his hand back from Kinn. They are all crucial moments of their relationship and Porsche’s character.

By nature or by circumstance of being a guardian. Porsche is caring and looks after the people he loves. The way he tended to Kinn back in the forest when he was cooling him down with water and pushed the hair out of his face. It’s the same way he prepares the sweet treats and feeds Kinn.

This new experience isn’t just being in a relationship with a guy. It’s being with someone at all. We see his shyness as he admits it’s his first date. His unrealistic expectation of what defines perfect and sadness that he messed it up. This is Porsche in love. Wanting to make memories. Finding joy and comfort from his presence. They are showing Kinn and Porsche’s intimacy on all levels.  It will also explain why Porsche will be so grieved and heartbroken as we suffer work our way through the Tawan arc. He’s given his heart to Kinn completely.
