Published: Oct. 4, 2020, 3:04 p.m.

In this episode of Check It/Round Table Onna discusses WHY RU Episode 6 the Thai BL drama series, https://youtu.be/kufe6untb_w.  Onna considers how this episode covers the fact that Tutor and Fighter are finally getting to the point when they are admitting that they do like one another with a scene where Fighter is trying to see where Tutor's head is at regarding their relationship where Fighter states "if you plan on being with me, you need to stay for a long time" and Tutor is trying to figure out if he is in jest or in earnest or regarding tutoring.  Onna considers how Hwah vs. Tutor is really a no contest with character taken into account as Fighter is considering his relationship possibilities because Hwah is not a dragon slayer and when it comes to relationships because when looking for a good relationships it is best to be the type of person who slays their own dragons and helps to slay the person you care about slay their dragons.   Onna continues on with how the interplay of Tutor and Fighter's will is interesting to watch and how Tutor's question to Fighter, "Are you sure you know what you are doing?" because Tutor realizes that their relationship could cost Fighter and he wants to make sure Fighter realizes that and how Tutor does this because he thinks about others, more than himself, is an important question to ask

Onna concludes with how parenting skills can go super wrong when parents berate their children as Fighter's dad does.  Because as kids grow, they need to know your motivation is not self-interest or the status quo, which won't really work on young adults with a moral compass and an analytical mind that knows self-interest and status quo are stupid things to be motivated by.  Onna considers how assumptions are often wrong and if you don't know the whole story, you shouldn't posit things because it is self-destructive because we really should be our better selves before we sit down and discuss things with out kids.  It's all here.  It's all real.
