      @sleepingegg1719 8 днів тому +1

      I mean yeah, I feel like shipping can sometimes undermine the value of friendships in media - but if you check the next video in tofuny's series, it's implied that Kai at least has a crush on Leo - and that's okay, childhood crushes are normal! It's not a weird thing as long as the audience isn't being weird about it (since they are kids)

    I miss being a kid, i miss my childhood best friend, things change, as they do, and you realize how precious those times were, and how it'll never be anything like it ever again. We'd just make stuff up and play and talk and goof around for hours, everything was so effortless, as a kid friendship was so intuitive and magical. So far my childhood is the peak point of my life. It only goes downhill...
