sorry but i find it extremely funny that the love interest we focus on the most in the movies :
is literally the odd one out (again, movie characterisation only!) compared to others who are shipped with thomas :
"no.....something is horribly wrong....."
— the universe when tommy is about to end up with teresa & not a bad bitch hiding behind 10 layers of sarcasm who makes his ass look like the cringe boyfailure he is.
I wondered how many gladers promised their friends, partners, and loved ones to take them to safe haven yet ended up becoming cranks, losing their loved ones, or even themselves trying to fight through..
Great. I am now in tears.
Fanfictions taught me to never think that I am "not good" or "not pretty" enough for someone ever again.
I MEAN I legit have seen the most questionable creatures, cranks, animagus, werewolves, etc and their human partner will still be like "you're the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life" AKAJAJAJJAJAJAJ
I have seen every human feature and imperfections possible; Freckles, moles, acne, scars, cuts, bruises, callouses, pockmarks, limps, blood, wounds, flesh, bones, black veins,and bites with their skin slightly tingling as their love interest plants kisses all over their bodies
"But I (have/am) a disease/mental illness/disability/traumatic past/suicidal thoughts/self harm scars/ the chosen one/on the run/..."
"I love you."
Minho went against the people he’d known for years to defend Thomas.
Thomas ran into the maze for Minho before he even knew him.
Minho beat Gally’s ass because he threatened Thomas.
“No way, shuckface. You’re coming with me. We need food and rest. Now.”
Minho trusted Thomas to keep the group together from behind - Aka, be his second in command.
He forgot how important in was that Minho still believe in him. It went halfway to giving him the courage to do what he needed to do.
Minho ran back in the lightning storm for Thomas when he fell, drug him back up, and tried his best to assure Thomas there was nothing they could do for the kid that got struck.
Thomas literally said he didn’t care about anyone else until Minho was struck by lightening and suddenly Thomas was falling to his knees, risking his life to try and help Minho.
Minho follows Thomas into the bathroom to comfort him.
Minho brought Thomas food, worried about him, and followed Thomas around to make sure he didn’t puke.
Minho noticed Thomas doesn’t smile much.
Minho makes Thomas laugh even in the bleakest of moments and it’s such a rare thing that even other characters were surprised to see Thomas in a good mood.
Thomas has an obsession with Minho’s arms.
“He could only worry about Minho.”
Dashner has explicitly stated multiple times that not all characters were straight
Dashner has also outright stated that Minho had the closest bond to Thomas
Dashner said that if Thomas told Minho he killed Newt that Minho would eventually forgive him.
Dashner said that Thomas spends his time in Paradise relaxing on the beach with Minho
“I bet you cried every night missing me.” “Yeah.”
“I’ve imagined you dead about a hundred different ways.” - So Minho really worries about Thomas to the point that he pictures him dying again and again when sperated from the boy.
The entire third movie is about Thomas going to rescue Minho
BEAR HUG.
“If you die, I will not be happy!”
“No way, me and you!” Jealous boyfriend much?
Minho hated every girl who spoke to Thomas for no apparent reason.
- For some reason Minho kept casting Brenda dirty looks.
- Minho didn’t seem happy to see him. “What did that shuck traitor have to say?” (When Thomas speaks to Teresa)
- Minho flashed Thomas a goofy grin and waved, his sarcasm making it obvious he wants exactly happy. (When Brenda wants to talk to Thomas)
“You know I won’t keep anything form you. And she knows it too.
Ki Hong Lee ships it.
Dylan O'Brien ships it.
Thomas Sangster ships it.
“Remember that I love you.”
“If there was anyone in this world besides Teresa (who was currently the love interest) who Thomas could truly call a friend, it was Minho and he couldn’t handle loosing him too.”
Thomas is totally fine with Gally after Gally says he never meant to kill Chuck - Only Thomas - While Minho is the one who is still unhappy because Gally wanted to kill Thomas.
Thomas and Minho slept together on the floor in Denver.
Thomas and Minho share a bunk and Minho talks to Thomas until he falls asleep - Letting himeslf talk about sensitive things like what happened to the friends they left behind.
Thomas calls Teresa his best friend when she’s the love interest. Teresa calls Aris her best friend what she flirts with him to betray Thomas - Thomas says Minho had become his “true best friend” by the end of the book.
Teresa threatens to literally kill the Gladers one by one but isn’t able to get Minho to shut up until she starts hurting Thomas every time Minho opens his mouth - Which gets him to shut up instantly.
Minho screaming that he’d find Thomas until Teresa hurts Thomas again which forces Minho to stay quiet.
Minho is Thomas’s Keeper and Thomas is Minho’s last Runner.
Minho is the first kid Minho actually meets in TFC.
Thomas basically threatens to kill himself if Wicked kills Minho and literally freaks during the whole Griever attack thing - Begging, bargaining, almost sobbing.
“He made his decision, he liked Minho.”
“He really liked Minho.”
Something in his voice lessened the blow.
Thomas is surprised at how easily Minho can sooth him after ticking him off.
Minho catches Thomas by the wrist to stop him from leaving when his messing with the boy has almost pushed Thomas too far.
Runnie undies - “Keeps you nice and comfy. Ya know your…” “Yeah. I know.”
“Someone grabbing him by the shoulder of his shirt, pulling him closer. Minho.”
“I’ve been shucked and gone to heaven! It’s Thomas!”
Minho it the last person alive Thomas trusts. (“He would only trust Minho and Newt. No one else.”)
Thomas writes a letter to Minho and Brenda when he’s about to die. No one else.
Thomas feels as angry as he did when Gally killed Chuck when Jorge even kicks Minho.
Minho beats a guy to death for shooting Thomas.
Minho can count off the other Gladers deaths “like apples in a barrel” but risks the entire group on an insane rescue mission to search the entire crank city for Thomas.
Thomas won’t let Jorge kill Minho even if it ensures everyone else’s safety.
“Something in his eyes.” “Hoping to convey with his eyes…” Minho and Thomas can understand each other through their eyes alone.
Minho trusted Thomas even when doing so might result in his fingers getting chopped of.
Thomas says Minho has beautiful hands - And when Thomas is shot someone with nice hands stays with him… HMMM.
“Thomas found Minho with his eyes.” “Thomas looked at Minho.” “Thomas caught Minho’s eye.”
Whenever Thomas speaks of his friends it’s always “Minho and the others.”
Minho is literally the most important to Thomas - The author legitimately said that guys come on.
“The world was collapsing around Thomas and Minho… Together, they jumped through the icy gray wall.” There 2 are really together at the end of the world. They’re all they have left.
Thomas has to hold back tears when he stares into Minho’s eyes and swears never to tell about Newt because Minho means too much to him to loose him too.
“Minho extended a hand to Thomas to help him up.” “He came over to help Thomas stand” “…felt Minho lifting him to his feet.”
“Minho’s face appeared in front of his. He was yelling something…. Thomas looked back at Minho. “He’s dead.” His friend was yelling.“ Because that whole scene in TDC where Newt stopped Thomas from beating Gally was a Thominho rip off.
Minho looks hurt when Thomas wants to go with Brenda
“Thomas fell; Minho jerked him to his feet. A few seconds later Minho fell; Thomas yanked and dragged until they were both running again.”
“You gonna kill me, slinthead? Do it, then. Throw it.” Minho trusting Thomas even when Thomas is mind controlled.
But Minho had Thomas’s arms pinned to the ground. He hovered over him, heaving to catch his breath. “I’m not getting up until they let your mind go.” Thomas wanted to smile.
Minho was asleep in a chair beside Thomas’s bed even though he underwent the same surgery - Meaning Minho got out of bed, pulled a chair over to Thomas bed, and stayed with him until he fell asleep.
In TDC comic there is a failed rescue attempt in which Thomas simply cannot accept that Minho isn’t there, starting with phrases like “THEY have to be here,” but quickly disintegrating into “I’m not leaving HIM!” As his panic grows, letting us all know who he’s really worried about as even other characters who had been using “they” start repeating “He’s not here” over and over again in an attempt to get Thomas to understand.
Thominho used to be the default ship before the movies came out.
Minho comes running to save Thomas again and again.
Minho asking “are you okay?” Every other line.
Minho’s sarcastic chidings make Thomas want to smile - And when he does actually smile at them Minho gives a “satisfied nod” and says “that’s better” Because he literally wants to make Thomas smile omfg.
Minho gets really angry at Thomas for running off alone because it’s dangerous and they’re supposed to do things together - But yet still immideatly softens when he sees Thomas is actually upset and tries to get him to talk about it.
Thomas is disgusted at Brenda’s kiss: “Maybe it was Teresa, maybe it was-” At which point Minho starts talking. So subtle.
Dashner describes Minho as the one character we can always count on - Because he’ll always have Thomas’s back.
“Aw. How sweet. You can stay here and die with Thomas.” Frypan ships it.
In the third movie, Minho wakes up when he hears Thomas’s voice.
Let’s talk about Minho/Thomas.
No, don’t ignore this. I can’t believe nobody has pointed this before. Let’s talk about their first meeting.
See what happened there? He asked Thomas if Teresa’s hot, and insulted her after Thomas said she was. Let’s talk about another scene.
For some reason gave Brenda dirty looks the entire time.
This part? This part happened right after Brenda kissed Thomas. I bet Minho saw them. And the killer.
?
?!!
They were alone at that time. Like where the hell did that come from?
And let us not forget how Thomas mentioned Minho’s very nice arms in the first and second books.
Checking him out like uuuhhhh.
And James Dashner’s tweet that neither confirm nor deny the sexuality of the Gladers.
Thomas may be clueless as hell, but I’m willing to bet my organs that Minho’s hella gay for Thomas.
