23.5 is truly the show for autistic swag that knows no gender nor bounds

But also a romance with a chubby character? For real? One where he's treated not just as a joke but as a real person!?! Please? Pretty please? I am begging here.

Give this man the romance he deserves.

I guess this confirms it, I mean look at that smile. Even without the verbal confirmation from Alpha, Mawin's heart eyes says it all 😅 Mawin and Tinh ship set to sail. All aboard! 🥰🥰🥰 We still need to confirm the ship name though 😅

I think he liked that confession! 🥰

okay so it was cute as expected

milk and love are always adorable together, their chemistry is just so wonderful, i hope they get a main series again with some better writing

view and june NEED their own series as a main couple!!! they are SO CUTE and THAT KISS!!!! the way aylin held onto luna!!! and luna got her own alien hat!!!! like seriously theyre sooo freaking cute aaaa

mawin and tinh, i was given CRUMBS but i ate those crumbs up!!!!!!!!!! but we were robbed of a scene of them studying together!!! you can't just mention that and not show it!!!! if ford and euro become an actual pair, i would lose it

the older lesbians deserved more cute scenes!!! their old married couple bickering is EVERYTHING~!!!! golf and godji need to pair up again, i love them, i would die for them, i would kill for them

i do not not know why the show kept going with ton's one sided love for charoen, charoen was constantly annoyed and rejecting ton over and over again, but it was played as if it was a cute "will they wont they" situation!! that is not what it felt like at all, after charoen rejected him, ton should have given up and stopped pursuing charoen, even mentioning the friend zone, which is just total bullshit!! the actors are cute together but the writing didnt do them any justice at all, aj and earn deserve sooooo much better

overall, it was an okay finale, didn't really stir any huge emotions in me, not even the final part where sun and ongsa were reunited, probably cause her going to the US and coming back happened in the same part; there wasn't even a tearful airport goodbye, so it fell flat emotionally to me. if the show had an extra episode, it could feel like they were apart for much longer

nitpick: i know ongsa going from glasses to contacts is to show her growth and maturity, but i liked her glasses and felt like they were a part of her, so without them, it feels less like im looking at ongsa and more like im just looking at milk

ive put off finishing the last ep of 23.5 degrees, not because i don't want it to end, but because im pretty sure i won't be satisfied with the ending at all. i know writing a satisfying story with only 12 eps can be difficult, and who knows if adding more eps would make it better, but the direction the story has went has made me not look forward to next episodes. so i'm gonna watch it but with my expectations very low lol

mawintinh got me crying in joy god please let them be happy

[petrichoraline]

my wishlist consists of nidabambam proper date or established relationship (confident nida my beloved), mawinton shenanigans (i dont care for mawintinh sorry), some charoen to go (ill miss her). im sure the main couples will have enough screen time and everything sorted out (whatever this shows definiton of sorted out is) so my focus is solely on the sides

[fiercynn]

i was only kind of following this when it went down but i still remember some shit, like i notice anon doesn't mention all the people who were telling gl fans "no one is even going to watch 23.5 degrees without geminifourth in it"?

or, yk, for some evidence from the english-speaking side of the fandom at least, you can look at the top relationships in the ao3 tag for 23.5 degrees right now:

northnight fans started flooding the ao3 tag in july 2023, posting 72 northnight works before the show even started airing! (only 10 of all the northnight works tagged there are also tagged ongsasun, btw)

and no, that's not actually a typical amount of activity for a side pairing pre-show airing, even for bls. it's not even typical for the show tag itself. i looked up some of the highly anticipated & popular thai bls from the past few years to see how many works were posted on ao3 before the show started airing, just based on the novel (never mind that the tags i'm talking about are specifically for the tv versions lol, some people mistag) or the trailers. bad buddy had 7 total works in the tag before it started airing. my school president had 6. moonlight chicken, which of course also had geminifourth playing a side pairing, had 24. never let me go had 1. kinnporsche was the closest i found, with 67 works in the show tag before airing, but only a third of those are not tagged with the main pairing!

i have nothing against geminifourth – i quite enjoyed msp – but the problem is not having bl side pairings in gls. it's having them take over the show and the fandom.

(i also totally agree with op on why mawintinh is super exciting and affirming compared to other bl pairings)

the fucking hypocrisy that gl fans have tho, when geminifourth got announced to be in 23.5 everyone and their fcking mother was hating on them, tagging them to get out of the show and calling them ugly and shit like that, and now that there is gonna be a bl side pair everyone suddenly silent and like nothing happened, side eye.

I mean... I didn't see this unfurl so I won't comment much on it & of course no one deserves this kind of hate at all, but I'm gonna be honest... I can see where the root of it is coming. we've waited literal YEARS to get gl shows, and they're still like 1% of what bl shows are. especially since geminifourth went from unknown to huge in between the announcement of the show & its start of production, I understand milklove & gl fans who were worried they would steal their thunder when we all know pretty much ONLY male actors at gmmtv get any type of attention. the difference with the nawintinh side ship is HUGE imo tho. firstly they're not even the secondary ship, they're the third one after aylinluna so there's a lot less chance of stealing any thunder, and, as I've mentioned in my text posts on the topic, nawin being a queer plus size person getting a love storyline is literally REVOLUTIONARY. yes, the bar is low, but that's what us fat people have to beg for. you do not realize how much since nawin got his ep 3 storyline I've been thinking about him, I finally feel represented in a thai drama. so I understand people cheering this bl side ship more than the first one, and I think the situations are wildly different. however I don't think generalizing all gl fans as bullies like you did in your ask is right, I would've been happy with geminifourth as a side ship but I'm happier with juneview & euroford as side ships bc they're more pressing representation imo. the vocal minority of haters will always be the loudest, but thinking the ENTIRE 23.5 fandom bullied geminifourth & are hypocrites is a bit insane to me, as if bl fans aren't even more toxic (I would know, I've been in both fandoms lol...)

Why are you following me? I'm not! I'm just cleaning!

I know you like him.

[heretherebedork]

I will take my crumbs and I will enjoy my crumbs. Because they are my crumbs. Teeny tiny crumbs are still crumbs and I will chase them around with a smile.

Mawin my BELOVED this poor boy is trying so hard but he's so nervous and I love him so, so much.

MY BABY. Mawin! Beloved child! This boy has such a crush and he's trying so hard and I just want to give him a hug and promise him he's good enough.

And Ton is such a good friend. He's doing his best to build his friend up and support him!

[heretherebedork]

Just two besties celebrating one not being rejected (my entire heart that this is literally joy just at not being rejected out of hand my beloved Mawin deserves so many smooches damnit.)

Bonus: The one who did not reject having no idea what's going on behind him

[heretherebedork]

It's 'randomly hoping for more MawinTinh' hour, apparently.

Because Mawin is adorable and deserves a romance and to have a chance to act on his crush and to get the guy even though he doesn't look like the kind of person who gets the guy.

Because he went into the school afterhours just to make sure everyone was okay and got the chance to hold onto Tinh's shirt and he made sure they all got out okay by helping block the teacher and he just deserves the world.

He's adorable and I wanna see him get a smooch, okay?

[heretherebedork]

Mawin's crush is so cute and I might be dying a little bit just look at him watching Tinh make videos! Look at hiiiim.

The real question for me is... does Ton know who Mawin has a crush on?

He does not know. Saw that coming a mile away.

I would like to rescue Mawin from heterocentrism now, please.

Hi, I love Mawin. Look at him, not hesitating to come out about who he likes and trusting his friends and being just a really good person. Who's also a bit frustrated to be shouting this, oh baby boy.

I love him so much it should be illegal. I adore him. He is my most beloved. Look at him! How can you not love how smitten he is and how open he is about it? He's so in love.

[heretherebedork]

I love that every single one of Mawin's friends is there to support him and cheer him on with his crush on Tinh, some sensibly and some goofy, but they're all on his side and there for him and want him to get this chance.
