'Men's Adventure Quarterly' Book Review By Ron Fortier
Tumblr media
MEN’S ADVENTURE QUARTERLY Issue # 5 Edited by Robert Deis & Bill Cunningham Pulp 2.0 166 pgs
Issue 5 of this terrific magazine arrived like a 4th of July rocket-blaster. Jammed packed with the usual assortment of informative articles and awesome illustrations, we didn’t waste a second digging into it. The visual prize this time was the Eva Lynd pictorials, both actual photographs of this one-time model/actress and the MAMS’ drawings they inspired by the leading artists in the field. Photo after photo followed by dozens of bright cover reproductions were wonderfully compiled. It was also nice to see modern-day pin-up model, Mala Mastroberte’s own redone pulp covers wherein she inserted herself in the images via photo-shop magic.
This issue’s fiction team was “Dirty Missions” suggesting that movies like “The Dirty Dozen” had a big impact on MAMS. It was clear they inspired many exaggerated tales of daring, secret missions mixing fact and fiction all adhering to the MAMS’ formula of tough-as-nail action heroes battling alongside enticing, bodacious female freedom fighters. There’s a great article on British war comics by Justin Marriot and a second introduction piece by Joe Kenney relating how he discovered both Golden Age comics and MAMS in his father’s barbershop at a young age. That struck a chord, as this reviewer grew up in the 50s and our neighborhood barber also owned a huge collection of Golden Age comics. We discovered so many incredible heroes in those worn comics from Plastic Man to Captain Marvel.  As for the MAMS, we never really paid them any attention until getting out of the army in 1968.
There are nine “dirty missions” reprinted in this volume and each delivers what MAM readers expected; wild, incredible stories featuring go-for-broke Yanks taking on sadistic Nazi butchers.  MAMS was literary junk food for World War II vets and it is easy to see with this new edition of Men’s Adventure Quarterly the why of that. Hats off to editors Bob Deis and Bill Cunningham for hitting another one out of the park. Keep’em coming, gents. This is the good stuff.

Hello Metalo- after being tortured by Mal, I am in desperate need of some crack, so! In similar vein to canon Voldemort meeting all of his lovers, canon Sirius meets his:
- Bella from EMD, Bella 2.0 from Ouro
- Voldemort (from It runs and Mal)
- Astrid
- Andromeda and Lucius from Family
- James from Inevitable
- Greyback from The thrill of the chase
- Severus from Turmoil
What happens?
My guess on what he’d do depends on his age- the only certainty is that he’d bully Snape into a pulp. And that Mal V and It runs V would be duelling in the corner.
Sirius cannot accept there is a universe out there where he fucked Snape; he just refuses to believe it. It's impossible.
"I mean, it seems like you fucked Voldemort in another one, so-" James says.
Apparently Sirius fucked James, too, in yet another world. That, he doesn't doubt. He's happy; from all this insanity, since these people came here, since the skin crawling realisation he fucked Snape, the only joy he has is seeing James again. It's not his James, but it's a version of him, and Sirius hadn't left his side all night.
Now his eyes leave James, to look at Voldemort, sitting in a corner with Bella. "I can see it," Sirius says, with a wince, taking Voldemort in, his tall frame, his imposing stance, power crackling around him. "I'm sorry, but I can see that happening before Snape."
James snorts. "And look, you fucked two of your cousins. You dog!"
"It's not me!" Sirius protests. "I'd never-"
"Oh, shut up," James teases. "Even in my universe you had a thing with Bella. You never explained, but I know it happened."
Sirius takes another sip of his drink. "Andromeda at least said it's a marriage of convenience-"
"Yeah, so you could be with Malfoy-"
"Ugh." Sirius hides his face in his hands. "I truly am a dog."
"He does have pretty hair," James allows, with a smile, but he turns grim fast. "I'd rather that universe for you. You were happy, at least. I rather all other universes than the one you got-"
"No, don't say that! There's one where you were never born, where Voldemort won, and-"
"I'd take that for you," James insists. "You don't deserve this world. And they certainly don't deserve you, the fucking wankers, I can't even think of Remus abandoning you in Azkaban! He did that in my world, too, you know? You forgave him, but I never did."
Sirius breathes out, takes another sip of whiskey. "He's- I don't care anymore. I only care about Harry. Nothing else matters to me."
James hugs him, fiercely, and Sirius hugs back, basks in the opportunity to hold James, any version of James, one last time.
"You're like that in my world; you love us fiercely, and Harry adores you. You're his favourite dad, you know? Whenever he has a problem at school, he tells you about it; if he has a nightmare, he calls for you."
Sirius' heart swells, hearing it. Gods, what a lucky bastard that version of him is! He got to raise Harry, and he got James.
A young woman sits beside them at the table. "May I?" she asks, after she already sat down.
Both he and James nod. She's beautiful. Drop dead gorgeous. James kept looking at her through the night. Sirius checked her out a few times, too. Apparently, she's his wife, in the same universe he fucked Voldemort.
"I'm sorry to intrude," she says. "It's just that I cannot stand any of these people, besides Lucius. But this Lucius is...different. He left me alone to hide from the dark lord." Her nose twitches with distaste. Fuck, but she's adorable.
"Tell me about Sirius' kids!" James asks her. "I wanna hear all about them!"
Another Orion; apparently Sirius named all his sons, in all the universes, Orion. Something clenches in his chest, painfully. This particular one sounds like a handful, as the girl- Astrid- describes him.
I bet he isn't even close to how difficult the Orions born from Andromeda or Bella are. Those must be nightmares.
"No!" Sirius protests when he hears about Marvolo. "It's impossible I raised a snitch!"
Astrid smiles, a beautiful, mesmerising sight. James can't look away. Sirius elbows him in the ribs. "He's not a snitch! He is simply...fond of rules."
The third one, Helix, bites people. "That sounds like Sirius's son," James jokes.
"And, of course, there's Harry. He's a little angel, he never gives us any trouble, though you- my Sirius spoils him something awful."
James's hand tightens on Sirius' thigh, when he hears Astrid describe Harry as Sirius' son.
"Thank you," he whispers in Sirius' ear.
"Don't thank me," Sirius says. "Apparently I fucked your killer in that universe." He turns to Astrid. "Gods, you should leave me- I mean, the other me. He's clearly missing some marbles."
"You are a perfect husband, though," she frowns, clearly bothered. "I wasn't aware about the dark lord situation."
Sirius looks in Voldemort's direction again, meets those quite frankly mesmerising eyes, and quickly looks away.
I wonder who fucks who. He shakes his head to dispel the curiosity. Best not think about it too much.
"Maybe he has me under the Imperius," he mutters.
"Snivellus certainly gave you a love potion," James says, glaring daggers at Snape, sulking in a corner.
"Yeah!" Sirius is happy to take this explanation. "Definitely. That's what must have happened!"
"When I go back to my world, I'll tell my Sirius about it and we'll go bully Snape into an early grave," James promises, and Sirius is jealous, so jealous of that Sirius.
"Yeah, I'll bully mine, when he comes to Grimmauld," he mutters, but truth is, he is made to feel so useless, locked up, not allowed to help, that it's hard to bully anyone, isn't it?
"I cannot believe you allow all these blood traitors and mudbloods into your ancestral home," Astrid says. "These Order people."
James meets Sirius' eyes, and he knows they're thinking the same thing. Oh, that's what's wrong with her. She was too perfect, otherwise.
"How do I put out with this nonsense from you?" Sirius asks her, bluntly.
She shrugs. "You ignore it."
(-)
Andromeda and Lucius are the calmest of the lot, the most reasonable, really. Sirius can see himself having a marriage of convenience with Andromeda. She's always been practical, and the easier to get along from the sisters.
And Lucius....well, James is right. He has pretty hair. And apparently he renounced Voldemort in that universe.
Apparently, Cissa saved Harry's life. Good for her. Sirius hopes maybe...maybe Cissa from this universe will one day do the same.
He remembers she became a dragon whenever someone mistreated her porcelain dolls. He cannot imagine she's taking kindly to her son being inconvenienced by Voldemort.
Once again, his eyes stray to that corner. Once more, he meets that red gaze.
What the fuck happened there? Sirius is curious. Must be the Imperius, right?
Surely.
Speaking of questionable choices...
"You should have stayed with me," Greyback tells him, later, when Sirius makes his way to him. The wolf is playing with a knife, twisting the blade expertly. "It would have been a kinder fate than what you got."
Sirius opens his mouth to tell him he's not a traitor, that he would never fuck or stay with the man that ruined Remus' life, but...how can he say that, when apparently in another universe he fucked the man that killed James?
Greyback is a shit wizard, he can't be using Legilmancy, so it's just a weird coincidence that he says, " the dark lord, really? In my world, you'd cut your cock off before allowing him near you."
"I must have been coerced," Sirius mumbles. "And you probably caught me in a bad moment-"
Greyback laughs. "Oh, I caught you in many bad moments, little brat. And you enjoyed it every time."
Disgusting. Sirius moves away.
For some reason, even though Snape is the worst, he still finds himself walking towards him, even if he meant to head for Bella. Somehow, his mind apparently wants to avoid her more than Snape.
Snape won't look at him, arms crossed.
"You slipped me a potion, didn't you?" Sirius asks, hopeful.
Snape snorts. He raises his chin, defiant, but still won't look at Sirius.
He looks....better than actual Snape. He looks....washed, and dressed properly. With horror, Sirius realises that what Snape is wearing is what Sirius would enjoy seeing on a wizard-
"Oh, fuck," he mutters. The other me is dressing Snape!
Gods, how does that Sirius live with himself? Unbearable.
How does Snape live with himself? "Do you have a humiliation kink, or what the fuck is wrong with you?" Sirius hisses. I almost fed you to a werewolf, he wants to add, but Snape blushes, fiercely, and Sirius steps back, horrified.
Alright, best not to bully Snape, then. At least not this Snape.
Shit, what if my Snape shares this....misfortune?
No. He can't think about that.
(-)
For a few minutes, he sits with Bella in silence. He just can't think of what to say.
It's too painful. It's impossible that he'd-
And then she draws him into a hug, and- oh.
He hugs back.
"How is mum?" Sirius asks, in her hair. "And Regulus?"
"Good," she says. "Everyone is doing great. Our children are perfect. We have the perfect life, my lord made sure of it."
He doesn't want to fight with her. He fought with her enough. And it's useless, anyway. Sirius is apparently a fucking whore, in all these universes, trading lovers, shifting morals, but Bella- Bella is constant. In all the universes, she remains loyal to Voldemort. Her convictions never waver.
"Children? Plural? I heard you talking about an Orion-"
"We have five," Bella says, drawing back, with a smile.
"Five? What the fuck?!"
"The last two are twins. A surprise, later in life. I only kept them because one of them was the girl we both wanted."
Sirius blinks. "What's her name, then?"
She laughs. "We fought for nine months about it," she says. "I wanted-"
"Delphini," Sirius says, remembering, from his youth, as the girls talked about children, future marriages. Bella always said she'll have a daughter and name her Delphini.
Her eyes soften. She cups his cheek. "Yes," she whispers. "You wanted Walburga."
"Fuck out of here!"
"You were adamant. So her name is Delphini Walburga."
"That poor girl!" Sirius says, incensed on behalf of this child.
He spends a lot of time with Bella, more than he imagined he'd want. But he's mesmerised with her stories of home. Of a different home. A home Sirius apparently never left.
Would I have truly stayed in Grimmauld if there was no James in my life? Would life had been as easy? Or would Sirius feel something missing, even if he would never learned what?
(-)
There's no avoiding him any longer. He's the last one. Besides, he's the one that figured out how to get everyone back to their universes, and he needs Sirius' blood for a ritual to open a portal.
"Come." He leads Sirius to a different room, and Sirius has to follow him, though James looks after them, anxiously.
They enter a room, and there's a dead body on the floor-
"What the-" Sirius' mouth snaps shut when he sees who it is, there on the floor.
It's...Voldemort.
"Don't mind him," Voldemort says, kicking the body. "He had it coming."
Sirius stares between them. "There's two of you?!"
"Were," Voldemort corrects, his eyes staring into Sirius' soul.
"Wait, I fu- I had a thing with you in two worlds?" Now that is horrifying. Once is a mistake, but twice? There are two Sirius running around fucking two Voldemort?
Well, I suppose there's only one, now.
"No." Voldemort's eyes flash with furry when he looks down at the body. "You didn't have anything with this one. You didn't have a choice."
Oh.
Sirius blinks, relieved. Alright, so at least one version of him is sane. But the fact that this Voldemort apparently would kill himself for forcing Sirius-
That means, in Voldemort's world, he is not, in fact, holding Sirius under the Imperius.
The curiosity increases, tenfold. He likes me, it strikes Sirius. He likes me enough to kill for me.
How....awkward. "Congratulations," he blurts out. "On winning, I mean. You're not easy to take down."
Ah....there it is.
Voldemort smiles, and Sirius thinks he understands what the other Sirius sees in him.
The smiles transforms his face, makes it human. Handsome, even.
He has a dimple, for fuck sake.
No wonder Bella ends up fucking him in so many worlds, if he has that dimple.
"I admit, I had an ally," Voldemort says. "Bella, of course."
Of course? What? "No version of Bella would turn against any version of you!" Sirius insists.
No, it's not possible. Because if it's possible, then he'll spend the rest of his life wishing his Bella would do the same, and that only leads to heartbreak.
"This was an aberration," Voldemort says, gesturing at the body. "He shouldn't have been allowed to exist at all."
"You- I mean, you in this world- you're not that great, either."
"I gathered." Voldemort's jaw twitches.
"You looked like this," Sirius says. "In the first war. But now Harry says you look like a nightmare."
"I believe that's the least of his issues, here," Voldemort says, after some seconds.
"Can't argue with that." He bites his cheek. "Though, admittedly, I don't really know you. We haven't properly met."
"A tragedy," Voldemort says, and -
It throws Sirius off, how honest he sounds.
"I must be very impressive in your world," Sirius mutters.
To attract Voldemort's....attention like this, Sirius must be some amazing version of himself.
"You are."
Sirius has no idea what to say to that, what to do with the way Voldemort looks at him.
It's not with Greyback's predatory hunger, it's not with James' joyful eyes, not with Andromeda's care, or Lucius' desire.
No, it's....Sirius can't place it. Never has anyone looked at him quite like that.
Tender, almost, but not quite. Or, not only.
"Impressive like Bella? You're with her, here. At least that's the rumour."
Voldemort smiles again. "That is the rumour in my world, as well. And I can confidently say it is false."
A few seconds of silence pass between them. Voldemort keeps staring.
Sirius stares back.
"Your hand," Voldemort finally says. "I need your blood to complete the ritual."
"You can have the blood, you don't need the hand," Sirius snaps. The other version of him....gods know what is going on there, but Sirius can't make himself touch the man that murdered James, in any universe, no matter how curious he is.
That makes Voldemort smile wider. "Impertinent, as always," he comments, but it's' with fondness.
Sirius cuts his hand, collects the blood in a vial he conjures.
"You should remember this is who you are," Voldemort says, as he takes the vial. "Arrogant, proud, brave. You shouldn't allow the Order to treat you this way. Not after all you sacrificed for them."
It makes Sirius ill, physically ill, that Voldemort, out of all people, says this.
That everyone else in his world treats him like a reckless child, a burden that needs to be locked away, that they don't trust him to help, never recognise what he's been through, and here Voldemort is-
He shakes his head, pushes his anger down. "I don't care what they say. I am singularly focused on my goal, and they happen to be on the same side I am." Sirius only cares about Harry. And the Order does, as well. For that, Sirius is grateful. Harry needs all the people he can get in his corner.
"Why do you love that child so?" Voldemort asks. "I don't understand it. I need to understand it."
"He's all I have left of James," Sirius says. "He's all I have left."
Voldemort opens his mouth, but closes it again. He turns, and pours the vial on the runes he drew on the floor.
"Do you enjoy watching the stars, Sirius?"
It bothers him, the way Voldemort speaks his name, with such familiarity.
It bothers him Voldemort knows this about him.
Does that other Sirius also like to climb on the roof and stare at the stars?
"Yes."
Voldemort nods. "Next you do that, think there are many worlds, out there, where you have more than Harry Potter."

Hi P’abl!!
Basically, I died back in early July and have missed all things BL, GL, and all the works. I tried to figure out on my own, but I just keep running into spoilers of things I didn’t know had even aired!
Could you just give me a rundown of what’s been going on/happened? I honestly trust you with my life now~
In the last 3 months? Sure:
(I feel like this should be sung to We Didn't Start the Fire)
Tumblr media
Wandee Goodday 9/10
Such a FUN show. A charming quintessentially modern Thai BL about a doctor and a boxer who start as a one night stand and then fall in love. Great rep for everything from Muay Thai, to safe sex, to FUN sex, to ace, to bisexuality, to smiley kisses, to the first legal gay wedding in a Thai BL. It’s a delight and I enjoyed (almost) every single moment of it. 
Tumblr media
Century of Love 9/10
This is a great little show about a young man who fell in love with a pretty girl 100 years ago, and when she died in his arms, he was cursed to live until he could meet her reborn self. Only this time around, she’s reborn into the body of a man. I love it when Thailand gets all up in its own historical business and reincarnation and shizz.
I like this pair. (It’s not DaouOffroad’s fault I didn’t enjoy most of their first series.) Daou’s wushu is pretty snazzy and we got a fun meet cute. (Erm
 Remeet cute? Meet cute 2.0?) Plus this is a very PRETTY show. Despite some ham handed comedy moments, this ultimately has more in common with something like I Feel You Linger in the Air meets First Love Again, then (as one might expect) Until We Meet Again or The Director Who Buys Me Dinner.
The leads turned in great performances, although Daou outclassed everybody else on that screen. It’s a good story and a great BL. I’m not sure this is going in my rewatch rotation, but I can’t find any major faults with it beyond a certain level of camp that is sadly endemic to lackorns. Also I’m going to give it credit as the kind of BL that one could safely recommend to lovers of melodrama and historical romance, without having to qualify it as “good for a BL.” It was, to put it succinctly, simply a VERY ENJOYABLE show. 
Tumblr media
We Are 9/10
We Are was slow to find its stride (I didn’t get into it until ep 7) but I’m very glad I gave it a chance. It’s a soft ensemble piece with multiple couples and very little plot, but I didn’t care because it’s not trying to be anything more substantial. Essentially this was a series of vignettes covering one year of uni for a queer friendship group finding love, new friends, and laughter. It’s not being harsh with us or it’s characters the way some offerings of this ilk have been (side eyes Friend Zone and Only Friends) nor did it tumble into Gen Y chaos.
In fact, this reminded me more than anything of a refined and elevated Love Sick - just with older characters and occurring within a genre that has matured too. It has that close queer friendship group meets earnest gentleness that made me adore Love Sick so much. In other words, this was Thai BL at its finest, finding it roots again 10 years on, but also stretching upwards and showing us what it could do with that original seed. So? I loved it. Did it blow my mind? No. But it left me smiling and made me belly laugh quite a bit.
Tumblr media
Cosmetic Playlover 9/10
I loved this little show. It was a classic office BL about the older workaholic who loves his job and the younger upstart who unexpectedly loves his boss. It’s a hyung romance where everybody is extremely earnest and sweet and pretty about everything. Except our seme, who is slightly unhinged and a little obsessed in all the ways one likes best from Japan. Plus the kisses were good! I can’t ask for anything more, utterly charming unexpected gem. What a great time!
Tumblr media
The Rebound 9/10
This was a sports romance Thai BL pulp with everything I could have asked for given this sub genre. More, actually, since MeenPing are both great basketball players and the team component really did form part of the connective tissue of the show (vital in a sports romance). Meen has his shirt off within the first two minutes which is all I needed but he's still pretty great as the sullen secret keeper against Ping's cheerful survivor - childhood sweethearts torn asunder and now reunited. Then Frank sweeps in to give everyone a bad case of second lead syndrome.
I always try to judge BL for what it is AS BL, and what it’s trying to do within its own territory and purview. This did exactly what it claimed on the tin: gay boys play b-ball and fall in love. That was all I wanted from it. Sure there was random kidnapping and a light bought of mass murder, but what’s a BL in 2024 without a touch of the mafia? You do you little pulp, I’m disposed to be pleased.
Tumblr media
My Love Mix-Up (Thai Remake) 8/10
It was fine and it was charming, but it was also a little meh. Thailand managed to take one of Japan's softest cutest most bonkers BLs in recent memory and make it softer and cuter and
 dull. They did this by watering it down. JBLs almost always have an edge to them, even the rom-coms, by dulling the edge, MLMU lost a great deal of the sparkle and tension as well. What an office setting managed to mostly maintain in the consummate hands of TayNew felt somewhat lackluster when handed off to the next generation and a high school setting. Cherry Magic was a lovely reinterpretation, Mix Up was an amateur's watercolor rendition of a colorful oil painting.
Am I being harsh? G4 tried their best, and Fourth turned in some outrageously good acting in the latter half. But the show? It was fine. If you like water colors and you haven't seen (and loved) Kieta Hatsukoi.
Tumblr media
This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans 8/10
A story about a kid who infiltrates a cooking competition under false pretenses and then has to deal with the consequences when he falls in love with the head chef. The side couple is a poor little rich boy meets physical therapist (morality chain). The core friendships are excellent and the chemistry cannot be faulted across the (charcuterie) board. What this show lacks in substance it makes up for in health code violations. It was all chili all the time.
Considering that the plot centered on betrayal but the romantic relationship never sweetened enough to balance that bitterness; one could be forgiven for throwing this one in the compost. But I got over all its weaknesses in flavor balancing for an ultimately satisfying meal, with a great dessert course. I've always loved spicy food. Plus the blooper reels were fantastic.
Tumblr media
My Stand-In 8/10
Adaptation of Chinese novel "Professional Body Double" by Shui Qiang Cheng. Stars Up (Lovely Writer) and Poom (Bake Me Please) directed by the same team as KinnPorsche.
Stuntman Joe dies on the job and wakes up in the body of another Joe with an entirely different life. But Joe just starts repeating the mistakes of his previous self - love, work, play.
I enjoyed the experience of watching this show, I looked forward to it every week. I thought everybody did a great job with it and in it, and I liked that is was something substantially different for Thai BL.
But I’m not sure I'll rewatch it or if it's bingeable. It left me feeling more sanguine than happy. Is there, objectively, anything wrong with it? No. But am I in love with it? No. I think that rests on the central characters, Ming in particular. I never liked him or warmed to them as a couple. I spent most of this show just very very sorry for poor Joe. Thus I was never rooting for their romance.
I would recommend it, if you enjoy your BL more cerebral, with complicated unlikable love interests, and a downtrodden sympathetic lead. Is it, perhaps, more JBL that ThBL? Am I biased because it's a Thai production and I had expectations? What magical carnage could Japan have done with this IP? I'm left with questions, but I'm ultimately glad I watched this.
Tumblr media
SunsetXVibes 8/10
Classic CEO meets ingenue archetypes make for a somewhat banal and simplistic romance. This could’ve come from an 80s Harlequin, except that they’re gay. It's
 old fashioned. There was nothing meta about this, there was no subversion or commentary on anything BL, queer, or beyond. It’s just a straight up (okay not straight) romance. I was not wild about these characters for this particular pair, but that’s not the pair's fault, they did a decent job with their parts and I look forward to their next show - here’s hoping it’s a bit more meaty. I preferred the side couple because they were more complex and true to BL archetypes, even if they were also a bit miss-handled.
Ultimately? This is a serviceable show if somewhat lacking in its convictions, but with some beautiful sex scenes, people, and fashion. I was a particular fan of Lin‘s gender bending femme style. It’s groundbreaking to see that aesthetic on one of the leads. There were multiple times they could’ve leaned into well established plot points, paranormal elements, and character tension, and instead just glossed over them. This should probably get a 7/10, but I’m giving it an 8 because of that one oppa line at the beginning, Tenon's tatas, and the call back to Big Dragon with that iconic musical refrain in the final episode. It was a pretty fun ride, emphasis on pretty and ride. 
Tumblr media
Love Sea 7/10
Same couple as LITA2 (FortPeat) , new characters to the Mameverse. While traveling a writer has a one night stand with a very irritating man (who also breaks into his hotel room, among other red flag agendas). FortPeat are hot and great together, the GL sides are problematic, neglected, and forgotten. Frankly, this is probably a 8/10 show but I’m mad I wasn’t madder at it, and I'm mad I was so bored throughout. So it gets a 7/10 and let us not speak of this again. I’d like to simply forget about it. Trash watch here.
Knock Knock Boys 7/10
A story about 4 boys of differing personalities who end up living together and pair up, falling in love. Slow moving and waffling, with some artificially generated family drama makes this a classic Thai pulp except that in general it's a smiley kiss of a show. It had plenty of good qualities like great communication and sexual rep (including toys, first time, safe sex, and sexual identities). The heat levels were on point and well executed, and the performances were good. It’s just that the script and the directing were lackluster, rendering it ultimately forgettable. Still, fine on a rainy afternoon with some camomile tea or whatever.
For what's currently airing go here.

While I have 40Kblr's attention...
Firstly, I would like to apologize, I should have realized that "Do Astartes fuck?" is a matter of routine debate.
Secondly, as I have spent time rethinking the Conan-based portion of Pulp Primarchs, I have also had some ideas for revising the John Carter one, which is thus far the only one to get feedback. And I am trying to decide if I should post the revised version of that before posting a new bit. And so, a short poll:

I am truly and painstakingly exhausted by the commercialization of everything. I am very well aware that I'm basically making a commercial of my beliefs right now and how I am hollier and woker than though but I really need to vent. Nothing feels sustainable anymore. People around me using AI thinking this is just another tool not seeing the damage being compiled from its effects to their environment to the pulp it makes out of their brains with the little effort they put to accumulate knowledge. Everything is easy everything is at the palm of your hands. Thrifting doesn't matter because clothes are being mass produced at such speed that clothes from Shein are now filling the thrift stores !Your art is a lovely niche thing that you can make money out of! Walking down the streets of Mitsotakis' growth plan of Greece 2.0 where in the past 2 years everything is brighter bigger and the people that tried to make a living are all gone for the shake of more food and more expensive watches and more travelling. No one likes a dirty sneaker says the commercial. Then you might as well just clean it. We are labels and rent your freedom said the window shops in Ghent. I am trembling in fear thinking of what an actual busy city looks like. I'm not saying we should lick the past's boots, I'm not saying to return to the good old days because there is no such thing and the progression we're making is natural and the fear I've felt has been felt by people when typography was invented and when electricity was invented and when televisions were first out. I'm just saying capitalism is suffocating.

If DC actually kept Dick and Kory meeting and then having Mar'i and Jake what kind of stories would you want to have or how do you think that would change already existing stories?
Well, while having a family unit is a big enough change for the life of a superhero as now they have those under their direct care to watch out for and protect, contrary to what many creative types can believe, it doesn’t really get in the way of the types of storytelling and character narratives that we are used to even without them there
Had Dick still moved to Bludhaven to establish himself and just so happened to have Kory, Mar’i and Jake by his side, there still a strong probability of him still having encounters with Blockbuster, Boone, Nite-Wing and many of the other familiar tropes and characters we’ve seen on his solo run.
Except now we get Kory and the kids’ own perspectives and input into them which if anything can provide with other opinions and viewpoints that help give Dick some other options are approaches. It can lead to character development and keep his own impulsive tendencies in check if he has a voice he trusts with his heart and soul has something else to say about his current plan
Kory and the kids provide Dick some persona he can actually talk to about his feelings and mood with a case or two rather than put it all into his thought bubbles/head for the audience to read over.
Furthermore, with Kory’s presence and as demonstrated by her 2015 solo run, there’s also potential for other alien characters, some friendly or not, she can also interact with, opening the potential for stories in that field which admittedly can give it a tiny sci fi aesthetic while the Nightwing books have traditionally been a more detective noir sort, akin to Batman himself.
Basically overall though, when I picture a book starring the Flying Graysons 2.0 as you say and what type of stories should they have, I say it’s basically what if you had a combination of the Incredibles, some urban swashbuckling adventure pulp tales, low sci fi, and a tiny of bit detective stories, that’s where you go to.
Or more bluntly, just look up how the Fantastic Four pulled off having a superhero family dynamic just by Mr Fantastic and the Invisible Woman with their kids and give a twist of them being an alien warrior princess and a circus acrobat then viola lol
Thanks for the ask buddy it’s appreciated

"I give you full liberty to troll lol" -Whiskey 2024 2.0
I dare Hibari to kiss Mukuro (Musessinabag) because... tehe?
Tumblr media
Dare my muse to kiss someone- accepting!
Tumblr media
"Do what?!" His tone was icy. There was no way in hell he'd ever kiss that illusion using, cheating son of a bi- He needed to calm down, Hibari needed to just step back and take a deep breath. Haru had never given him trouble before, in fact she was one of the few Vongola affiliates that he could somewhat tolerate. Her writer however...Neo was on thin ice. Was he allowed to kiss the Mist bastard with his Tonfa? That would count wouldn't it? A sharp blow right to the damn teeth would have been absolutely delightful, Hibari would have relished in the thrill of beating the pineapple haired bastard to a pulp. He was getting out of this if it was the last thing he did. "I have better things to do than waste my time on a herbivore who can't even fight fairly."

Post-Election Funnybook Roundup: Who Killed Cock(y) Robin? I Killed Cock(y) Robin.
by Glen Weldon - November 5, 2008
Now that the last balloons have dropped, we as a nation can take comfort in the knowledge that, one again, millions of us exercised our right to vote and so set in motion the peaceful transfer of power that is the hallmark of this, our American democracy.
And let me note one other thing: That this latest round of quadrennial participation in the Grand Experiment resulted in not even a single masked, pixie-booted young crimefighter getting beaten to a bloody pulp with a crowbar.
And then blown up.
By an evil clown.
Just moments after he'd been reunited with his long-lost mother.
All worth noting, because that's pretty much exactly what happened the first time I ever voted, just over 20 years ago. My vote -- and those of my like-minded fellows -- killed Robin, the Boy Wonder.
And we'd do it again.
After the jump: The day a surprisingly tiny number of geeks (and a 900 number) accomplished what even Gotham's greatest villains never dared to dream.
Granted, it was a telephone vote. And to clarify, we didn't off the original Robin, aka Dick Grayson -- the laughing, punning, "Holy-Priceless-Collection-of-Etruscan-Snoods-Batman!" Boy Wonder.
No, this was his replacement, Jason Todd. (The original Robin had flown the nest years prior, adopting the hero codename Nightwing.)
And in our defense, Jason was kind of a punk. Cocky, insolent, hot-headed, impulsive, resentful.
So when DC Comics gave us the chance to off the li'l jerk, we leapt at it.
The time: September 1988. The issue: Batman 427, in which young Jason Todd travels to Ethiopia (never mind) and finds his mother, an aid worker. Jason reveals his identity to Mom, whereupon she turns him over to the Joker, who, as it happens, is hanging around Addis Abbaba in khaki shorts and a pith helmet. (Seriously: never mind).
Turns out the Joker's in cahoots with mom, who's embezzling medical supplies (NEVER MIND!). The Joker beats young Jason with a crowbar -- off-panel, sorta -- and blows up a warehouse, with Jason and Mom still inside.
End of issue; to be continued.
And that's when we saw the announcement: "Robin will die because the Joker wants revenge. But you can prevent it with a telephone call."
Editors had prepared two different versions of the next issue, Batman 428. In one, Robin survived the blast. In the other, not so much.
For a 36 hour period -- from 9:00 am on September 15, 1988 to 8:00 pm on Sept. 16,1988, in point of fact -- fans could call to register their vote, at the low low price of 50 cents per call.
I was one such fan. One out of a number that still strikes me as bafflingly small -- just over 10,000 votes in all.
Note: Among comics readers, avowing that you participated in the Jason Todd Death Vote is akin to being of a certain age and swearing you were at Woodstock. Nevertheless, I do so hereby avow. I'm prepared to swear to it on a stack of 'Mazing Mans.
The verdict:
Jason lives! -- 5,271 votes.
Jason Todd becomes Jason, Tod -- 5,343 votes. Abyssinia, Boy Blunder.
Yep, it was 72 freakin' votes that did Robin 2.0 in.
And so it was that in Batman 428, the Darknight Detective found Jason Todd's lifeless form (the presence of a body being universal comic book shorthand for Not Only Merely Dead, But Really Most Sincerely Dead.)
The book, and the Batman, soldiered on. In the next issue, the Joker became ... Iran's ambassador to the UN.
No kidding. Took to wearing a gutrah and everything and LOOK, I'M REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT THE WHOLE 'NEVER MIND' THING.
Batman eventually found yet another Robin -- the much cooler, much less make-ya-wanna-throttle-him Tim Drake. (Recently, Bruce Wayne actually adopted Tim Drake -- none of that "youthful ward" jazz anymore.)
And Jason Todd, in a bold and refreshing break from longstanding comic book tradition, managed to actually stay dead for almost two decades straight.
Then, um, he got better.
Never. Mind.

The Future of Baking: Must-Try Techniques and Ingredients for 2025
Tumblr media
The Future of Baking: Must-Try Techniques and Ingredients for 2025
The baking industry is constantly evolving, with new technologies, ingredients, and techniques shaping the way we bake. As we enter 2025, bakers must stay ahead of these trends to meet changing consumer demands, enhance efficiency, and keep their businesses competitive. Whether you're a home baker, a pastry chef, or a bakery owner, embracing innovation can help you create unique, high-quality products that stand out. Here’s a look at the must-try baking techniques and ingredients that will define the future of baking in 2025.
Emerging Baking Techniques for 2025
1. AI-Powered Precision Baking
Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into bakeries, helping bakers achieve consistent quality and precision. AI-powered ovens and baking assistants can:
Adjust temperatures and baking times based on humidity levels.
Provide real-time data on ingredient ratios for perfect consistency.
Reduce waste by predicting the exact amount of dough needed per batch.
2. 3D Food Printing for Customization
3D food printing is revolutionizing cake decorating and pastry creation by allowing bakers to print complex sugar sculptures, chocolate designs, and edible decorations with minimal effort. In 2025, expect:
More accessible and affordable food printers for small bakeries.
Fully customizable designs, from intricate wedding cake toppers to printed cookie patterns.
3. Smart Fermentation for Artisan Bread
The science of fermentation is advancing, allowing bakers to enhance flavor, texture, and shelf life. Smart fermentation tools can:
Monitor yeast activity and dough hydration for optimal proofing.
Adjust fermentation times automatically based on environmental conditions.
Improve sourdough production with controlled wild yeast cultivation.
4. Alternative Baking Methods: Steam and Sous Vide Baking
Traditional ovens aren’t the only way to bake. New methods like steam baking and sous vide baking are gaining traction for their unique benefits:
Steam Baking: Enhances moisture retention in bread, creating crispier crusts.
Sous Vide Baking: Uses precise temperature control to create ultra-soft, evenly baked cakes and custards.
5. Hybrid Baking Techniques
In 2025, expect more fusion baking, where multiple techniques combine to create innovative textures and flavors. Examples include:
Croissant-doughnut hybrids (cronut 2.0).
Layered pastries with alternating baked and steamed components.
Cakes infused with slow-cooked or caramelized elements for depth of flavor.
Innovative Baking Ingredients for 2025
1. Regenerative Agriculture Ingredients
Consumers are demanding sustainable and environmentally friendly baking ingredients. Expect more:
Regenerative wheat flour, grown with soil-friendly farming techniques.
Carbon-neutral chocolate, produced with minimal environmental impact.
Biodynamic sugar and dairy, sourced from farms that prioritize ecosystem health.
2. Upcycled Ingredients to Reduce Waste
Upcycling food waste is a major trend, and bakers can now incorporate:
Spent grain flour (from beer brewing) to add fiber and flavor to bread.
Vegetable and fruit pulp powders (from juice production) to enhance nutrition.
Leftover coffee grounds or cocoa husks for unique textures and flavors.
3. Functional Baking Ingredients for Health-Conscious Consumers
Health-driven baking is booming, and 2025 will see even more nutrient-dense options:
Adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms (e.g., ashwagandha, reishi) for stress relief.
Prebiotic and probiotic flours to support gut health.
Plant-based collagen replacements in protein-rich desserts.
4. Alternative Sweeteners with a Low Glycemic Index
As sugar alternatives become more refined, bakers can experiment with:
Monk fruit and allulose (natural sweeteners with minimal blood sugar impact).
Date syrup and coconut nectar for richer, caramel-like sweetness.
Fermented honey and maple syrup for enhanced health benefits.
5. Color-Changing and Sensory Ingredients
Expect more interactive baking ingredients that change color or texture based on pH levels:
Butterfly pea flower powder for naturally color-changing pastries.
Activated charcoal dough for dramatic, jet-black bread and cookies.
Edible glitter and heat-sensitive glazes for futuristic cake designs.
How Bakers Can Stay Ahead in 2025
To keep up with these innovations, bakers should: ✅ Experiment with New Techniques: Test AI-powered baking tools, 3D printing, and alternative baking methods. ✅ Source Sustainable Ingredients: Look for suppliers offering regenerative, upcycled, or plant-based alternatives. ✅ Engage with Customers: Offer limited-edition experimental bakes to test new flavors and trends. ✅ Upgrade Your Equipment: Consider investing in smart ovens, fermentation tools, and digital recipe management systems. ✅ Follow Industry Leaders: Stay updated on the latest trends by following top pastry chefs, attending food expos, and joining baking innovation forums.  
Final Thoughts
The future of baking in 2025 is all about precision, sustainability, health-conscious choices, and creative innovation. By embracing these cutting-edge techniques and ingredients, bakers can differentiate their products, attract modern consumers, and set new industry standards. Now is the time to step into the future—one bake at a time

BL recs (from any country) that don't have any s*x scenes? I'm too ace to enjoy them at all. Happy ending preferred, angst v welcome:)
BLs Without Sex Scenes
Oof, this is a hard one. Is a dead fish kiss okay? I do have a heat sorting on the spreadsheet of doom, and there are some with no kissing at all, but a dead fish kiss is in most of the HEA ones.
BLs with No Kisses
Tumblr media
21 Days Theory (Thailand, YouTube) - the only thing I didn't like about this pulp was the fact that they don't kiss, so... yeah, this is my first pick for you. Very YA first love angsty, fantastic queer rep and side characters. RECOMMENDED
Tumblr media
My Esports Genius Brother (China, Gaga?) - it's hella odd censored bromance but enjoyable. No real angst tho.
Tumblr media
HIStory My Hero (Taiwan, Viki) - basically a BL with no sex or kissing, but also body-swap so is it BL? I can't remember the end but I think it's happy?
Tumblr media
Silhouette of Your Voice AKA Hidamari ga Kikoeru (Japan, ????) - this 2017 yaoi adaptation is a full on BL just no kissing at all. The source manga (I Hear the Sunspot) is a favorite of mine and the casting was decent. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for you (but not in general). Grey only.
Tumblr media
Love of Siam (Thailand, ????) ALL THE ANGST, I'm pretty sure the most they do is hug, I could be v wrong though because too sad for me to ever rewatch. Very formative to the Thai BL industry.
Tumblr media
The Lover (BL cut) (Korea ????) sometimes you can find the BL cut on YT, it has slapstick comedic sexualized moments that are maybe a little homophobic (or something), no actual sex or kissing, but no angst at all. (Korea's working some shizz out with this early offering.)
Kabe Koji AKA Kabesaa Doujin Sakka no Neko Yashiki-kun wa Shounin Yokkyuu wo Kojirasete iru (Japan, Viki) - I watched this and I was excited about it before it aired, but I seem to have expunged it from my memory and kept no screen caps in annoyance, so that's all I got.
Tumblr media
Love in Spring AKA Spring of Crush (Korea, ????) - a crossdressing historical that flew utterly under the radar. I decided it just wasn't really BL, but it has BL aspects and it's kinda a little queer... or something. Grey only.
Evening Cafe (Thai pulp, YouTube) - No heat and no kisses, but a decent lead pair, about a boy who works in a cafe and the new employee who has a crush on him. That’s it, that's the whole story.
A Shoulder to Cry On (Korea, Viki) - Has no kissing and many people found it really good as @isisanna-blog reminded me, thank you). It certainly has ALL THE ANGST. (I did not like it at all, but I'm a terrible judge of this kind of BL.)
What Did You Eat Yesterday? (Japan ???) - this is such a lovely show, very warm and comforting and slice of life. There is very little angst, they too old for that shit, but little to no sexual content either. It's very warm and loving. A safe extremely yet queer show - and oh boy do we not get many of those. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Censored Bromances
Tumblr media
So No Kisses (TM) for the gays but the hets might do stuff I didn't pay attention to. All these from China. Some happy, most not.
The Untamed
Word of Honor
Guardian
SCI Mysteries
Stay With Me AKA Addicted 2.0 (I never watched this so there may be rough play)
Mr CEO Falling in Love With Me
The Fairy Fox
Youth in the Breeze
Precise Shot
Advance Bravely
His Cat AKA His Cat Boyfriend
The Male Queen: Han Zi Gao
The "Ghost Boyfriend" series
Past Youth
I Go To School Not By Bus (Hong Kong short)
Recommended Shorts with no kisses, but cute & fun
Tumblr media
The 8.2 Second Rule (Japan YouTube)
One Last Order (Korea, Gaga)
Love Advisor (Thailand, YouTube)
BLs with Dead Fish Kisses (maybe? only one, if any)
Tumblr media
His the series: I Didn't Think I Would Fall In Love (Japan ????) - (NOT His the movie) this one has all the angst you could want in your whole life. ALL OF IT. Japan wins at emo, it's their THING.
Tumblr media
Cherry Magic AKA 30 Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard AKA 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii AKA Cheri Maho (Japan ????) - there's sort of some bed tussling and implied sex but you could imagine them just being snuggles for the mains, the sides have dead fish kiss. In general there's some angst but not much. It's fluffy and great. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Bonus: overt ace representation for one of the side characters.
Tumblr media
Meow Ears Up (Thailand Viki) - sides may kiss? I enjoyed this pulp especially at the start, the premise is fun. I think my biggest complaint was lack of kissing.
Tumblr media
My Love Mix Up AKA Kieta Hatsukoi (Japan Viki), a case could be made for a demi seme in this BL. So much frenetic angst around bisexual identity crisis. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Tumblr media
My Ride (Thailand Gaga) - my favorite Thai BL pulp the sides have a good kiss and the mains do kiss but it's v dead fish, not at all sexual, and it comes at the very end. Otherwise extremely chaste, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this BL, queer and complex and engaging.
Tumblr media
I Want to See Only You AKA Kimi no Koto Dake Mite Itai (Japan ????) - This is a beautiful piece of cinema well acted, about two boys who are opposite personalities and grew up together. The only kiss is the one pictured above, v dead fish. Full review here.
Nobleman Ryu's Wedding (Korea WeTV) - 12th Night goes BL in this cross dressing historical that ended up feeling like a Cinderfella fairy tale, lightly dramatic and utterly charming. Full review. There is one dead fishy kiss at the end but it's otherwise aggressively pure.
If you like this last style of KBL (with a kiss at the end being okay, I have quite a few more to recommend). Until 2022, most KBLs only had one dead fish kiss in them, so you are pretty safe with pre 2022 KBLs. They tend to be quite chaste and de-sexualized. Other good examples: Wish You, Light on Me.
That's all folx.
Some of the above I may be misremembering (since I don't rewatch this kind of BL and my memory is shit). And I may have forgotten some too, so I hope comments with jump in.
Others to consider:
