#also honorable mention to several grant moments tbh

[methcheese]

me when “i didn’t grow into someone he can be proud of after he did all that” and “youre not proud of me?” and “if i yell at him ill never stop yelling at him” and “why my dad cant feel the way dads are supposed to feel about me” and “i dont even like me that much” and “he did this for me and he doesnt even like me”

[kyufiber-moved]

got any bl show suggestions?

abso-fucking-lutely i do !! i typed out this WHOLE thing then my computer crashed so this is my second time answering this ripskfjd

also i went in depth about everything so it got long, and imma put a keep reading!! here are some bl show recs:

love by chance ::

summary: pete is a popular and wealthy student who is very shy, which is caused by the fact that he is secretly gay. he meets ae, a fellow student and they quickly become friends. pete starts to have feelings for ae, but doesn’t want him to experience ridicule for being with a man, so he attempts to repress his feelings

my thoughts: this show is amazing tbh. one of my alltime favorite dramas ever ngl. it has 5 couples that are shown on screen (with small cameos from / mentions of tharntype), all of which are cute (except klano. we dont talk abt klano.) 

ending: mixed, depending on the couple. the main couple (aepete) has a happy ending, but three of the side couples have open endings, one of which is super angsty

sequel(s): there’s a second season coming out in february, in which the side couple that got the angsty ending (tincan) will be the main couple!!

where to watch: youtube

history 2: border crossing ::

summary: yuhao is rebellious and has a short temper. when he is approached by the captain and manager of the school’s volleyball team, he isn’t interested, but eventually ends up joining. he then develops a very close bond with the team manager, zixuan, which turns into something more than friendship

my thoughts: very very cute !!!!! i loved it so much omf. also the side couple is step brothers and although they don’t get much screen time, they’re still cute. also the kisses b/w yuhao and zixuan (despite 1 of the only 2 being in a dream) are F A N T A S T I C

ending: happy!!

sequel(s): there’s a 2nd season coming out sometime in 2020, but idk when. also it’s apart of a series called HIStory which has several different storylines, all of which being bl. they are not related to each other in terms of characters or anything, though, so don’t expect to see familiar characters ^^

where to watch: youtube

sotus: the series ::

summary: kongpob is a 1st year engineering student who stands up against head hazer and 3rd year arthit, who the first years feel is cruel / overly strict. the two start out as enemies, become friends, and eventually develop feelings for each other

my thoughts: no sexual stuff like many other bls, instead focuses on the romance part of it, the evolving relationship/friendship between kongarthit, the internal struggle of figuring out one’s sexuality, and the bond formed between students/friends/classmates. honestly?? storyline is gotdamn beautiful and i cried more than once just bc i was so overcome

ending: happy :)) (for all seasons and special eps)

sequel(s): there is a 2nd season titled sotus s: the series which takes place 2-3 years after the 1st season, where kongpob has become head hazer and arthit is now out of college and in the working world. kongarthit is also featured in the multi-bl special sequel titled “our skyy” which has special episodes set after the main official dramas surrounding various bl couples !

where to watch: it’s on netflix yeehaw ! but if you don’t have netflix it’s on youtube

together with me ::

summary: korn and knock are childhood best friends who meet again in college and, after a drunken night out, end up having sex. knock, who has a girlfriend, makes korn promise never to tell anyone about it and pretend like it never happened but you can’t hide falling in love forever :))

my thoughts: god SO much angst. it isnt an ep of twm if there isn’t angst smh my heart hurts watching it. BUT . it also has cute moments, funny af moments, and some SEXY AF moments . the sex / kiss scenes are unmatched bro . holy shit . watch the uncut versions too theyre even hotter i cant breathe 🥵 

ending: happy 

sequel(s): there are two “sequels”, one: together with me: the next chapter (which apparently wasn’t as good as s1 but i havent seen it) and then two: bad romance which features kornknock but the main couple is boyxgirl (and it aired first, but it’s set chronologically AFTER twm)

where to watch: youtube

theory of love ::

summary: third is secretly in love with his best friend, a straight playboy/manwhore named khai. he tries to stop his feelings, but is unsuccessful until he overhears something he wasn’t meant to. third, heartbroken, decides once and for all to stop loving khai- but just when third stops, khai starts.

my thoughts: anGST goddammit bl dramas love their angst huh. anyways i love the general plot of this and also like ? how aware the creators are of the plot sorta bc the movie flipped is a large af part of the show . also the kiss that ive seen ?? whew YES bro . also like before we get the happy ending there’s SOOOO much angst, even after they both know that they like each other ksjdf i haven’t finished it bc im mentally preparing myself 

ending: happy

sequel(s): n/a, but if you want another drama where these actors are together, puppy honey has the same actors as a the couple pick and rome (idk if they have a happy ending though?? i havent seen it)

where to watch: youtube

great men academy ::

summary: love is a girl who is a huge fan of vier, a boy who attends great men academy (an all-boys school). one day she helps an injured unicorn by a lake (dont ask BRO DONT ASK) who then grants her one wish: to fulfill her love. unfortunately, the unicorn interprets love’s wish differently than expected, and turns her into a boy. love decides to attend great men academy in her male form, but she must remember to return to the lake and submerge herself every night before midnight to turn into her female form again, or she’ll be stuck in her male form forever

my thoughts: this drama........ whoever thought of this plot was on crack or smth. s’cute though. all the male characters are members of 9x9 (including captain, who plays noh in lovesick) also the main lead ends up with the person everyone acTUALLY wanted him/her to end up with so . YAY FOR US. still a WEIRD ass plot though

ending: happy

10 Reasons Why Snowbarry can Never be Completely Crushed and Can Still Happen

Since s04 started, the writers of the Flash have reduced Barry and Caitlin's interactions so that WestAllen can thrive. At this point, even though the writers are trying to crush Snowbarry completely, I believe Snowbarry can never be completely crushed and can still happen for the following reasons:

1. Snowbarry Fans Remember

From s01 up to s03, Snowbarry had a lot of ship worthy moments inspite of the fact that WA was supposed to be the main couple. Because of this, Snowbarry developed a huge fanbase. Now that WA is getting married, the writers expect us to forget all these moments and that is not possible. Snowbarry will live on because its shippers will continue to remember all their moments and this will be the encouragement that will make some SB stans to keep shipping this pairing.

2. Snowest Failed

The writers of the Flash have forced a fake friendship between Caitlin Snow and Iris West to further kill Snowbarry but this friendship is weak, fake and insignificant bc Iris and Caitlin have not had a proper conversation since they declared themselves besties in 04×05. I am now completely certain that after Cait serves her purpose of being Iris' maid of honor, her fake friendship with Iris will never be mentioned again.

3. Snowbarry Has a Rock Solid Friendship

Grant and Danielle are real life besties offscreen which is why it is so easy for them to translate their friendship onscreen whenever Snowbarry interacts. From s01, the writers failed to establish WestAllen's friendship as something so strong that it could be the basis for a strong relationship bc Iris was always a little too oblivious of what was happening in Barry's life. Sometimes, it even felt like she didn't care. The only friendship that looked like something that could turn into a beautiful relationship is Snowbarry and the reason for this happened in 01×03 when Barry was telling Cait about the pain he still felt about his mum's death. He didn't tell Iris about this, he chose to tell a woman he had just met a few weeks ago because their bond is nothing but unshakeable and indescribable. Tbh, the only way to really kill Snowbarry is to ruin their friendship and the writers won't do that because they still need Caitlin to be on Team Flash.

4. Flashfrost

Even if Snowbarry never speaks to each other again, Flashfrost must happen bc Cait can now control her powers and she will end up teaming up with Barry. There were even some bts pics for 04×10 that seem to suggest that we will get some Flashfrost. We might even get Flashfrost in the crossover next week.

5. 04×09

Even though Iris would still be leading Team Flash, 04×09 is without a doubt a Snowbarry centric episode even though Barry and Caitlin will spend most of the episode miles apart. In the end, no matter who Iris chooses to save, Barry and Caitlin will end up helping each other and we could even get a Snowbarry or Flashfrost moment.

6. Snowbarry and SaviFrost will Live on Through Mechavoe

The villain of the season is a very intelligent man with super powers that is using all of his intelligence and resources to formulate plans that can help him stay alive and he is assisted by a very intelligent woman that is completely devoted to him. While this description refers to the Devoes (otherwise known as Mechavoe), it can also refer to SaviFrost. Even though SaviFrost never actually became a couple, we get to see what it would have been like if they did bc Mechavoe is very similar to them. Mechavoe also draws a lot of parallels to Snowbarry. A lot of these parallels were showcased in React Out Loud's most recent Snowbarry reaction vid (please check it out if you haven't already seen it).

7. Iris is hated, Caitlin is Loved

Even though Iris has her share of fans, for every Iris stan, there are ten anti Iris stans. Caitlin is well loved by most people except Iris fans. Caitlin has a better storyline and Iris fans confirmed this when they shamelessly drew fan art showing Iris with ice powers. Since the hate on Iris is so big, the writers will continue to leave little bits of Snowbarry moments lying around to appease the audience. I believe that after this season, Iris' screen time will be reduced tremendously.

8. Iris Still Has a Crush on Oliver

While it is true that Oliver Queen is the hottest man in the Arrowverse, I don't expect a woman in a committed relationship to constantly point this out every chance she gets. Unfortunately, this is what Iris does even in this season, when her wedding is really close. Instead of Iris stans to get upset when Iris says things that undermines WA, they cheer her on in her foolishness. How strong can WestAllen be if Iris can't stop admiring other men even infront of her husband-to-be? I don't think Iris can spend the rest of her with one man which is why WA can't last even though they're getting married. Once WA falls, Snowbarry will rise and take its place. I can't wait to hear the inappropriate things Iris will say about Oliver during the crossover.

9. Barry is Still Protective of Caitlin

Even though Snowbarry barely interacts, Barry will never let anything bad happen to Cait. This stems from their deep friendship and it is part of the reason why we can still expect some Snowbarry moments even after WestAllen weds. For proof of this, just go and rewatch the part of 04×06 where Ralph referred to Cait by her numbers. Barry was really furious and his facial expression showed it.

10. The WestAllen of the DC Movie-verse will Take the Place of the CW's WestAllen

By the time the Flashpoint movie premieres, we would have gotten at least 3 more seasons of Mr Allen and Mrs West-Allen as the main couple in the Flash tv show. However, the pairing would have been severely weakened by the constant CW-ish drama that will be thrown at it. By that time, the pairing can get a divorce that will mark the end of the road for them (hopefully, they wont get back together) and a lot of people won't really care bc another WestAllen will be dominating the big screen. Once this happens, Snowbarry will become the main couple on the Flash tv show.

I am thankful for the fact that I could think of 10 reasons why Snowbarry won't get completely crushed and can still happen. Did anyone think of any other reason? Please let me know.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! 🤗🤗🤗
