BL Drama's /Relationships from all over the world that I gave an A rank. Part 3.

I have been keeping track of all the BL drama's that I've seen and I have been ranking them on a scale of A, B, C, D, F. Obviously you don't have to agree..you can have your own opinions. At this point I have seen a ridiculous amount of BL, from all across the world so therefore these list's are going to be a hot mess...but please enjoy. (if you know me well, you know how I feel about The Untamed and Sotus so I will not be placing those on here even though they are A's for me. Ex. (Show Name/Information), (Pairing), (Reason), and a lovely gif. 11.)Light On Me, Shin Woo and Tae Kyung/Da On. This drama...I will never be over how much I loved this drama. There really wasn't anything like new, or different about this drama but it was just so stinking cute. It's def. a stand out Korean BL in my opinion. SHIN WOO, sweet cinnamon roll Shin Woo. What an A+ character.

12.) HIStory4: Close to You, Li Cheng and Teng MuRen. I hated the vast majority of this drama and even some of the storyline for these two but there was just something about Li Cheng and Teng MuRen, and I think that mostly it was just casting with a sprinkle of friends to lovers storyline that always gets me. Anson and Charles are great I stand by that.

13.) We Best Love:1 For You/We Best Love:Fighting Mr. 2nd, Shu Yi and Shi De. While I preferred the first part of the series WBL:1ForYou both parts are good. I think that this show has one of my all time favorite confession scenes.

14.) Nobleman Ryu's Wedding, Ho Sun and Ki Wan. This is another one that really doesn't stand well in competition with all the other dramas that came out at the time. But I don't really care. I had been waiting for a Joseon BL for awhile, and I prefer this over the other.

15.) Second Chance, Paper and Sky(Tong Fah). The friendship between them and the chemistry between them is what helped them make this list. That one dance scene...I'm never going to be over how well acted/choreographed it was. Also the roof top scene.

#light on me #history 4: close to you #we best love: no 1 for you #we best love: fighting mr. 2nd #nobleman ryu's wedding #second chance bl

BF Episode Names + Work Summaries (Part 1)

These summaries are my OWN and WILL contain spoilers. Some, but not all works will be related back to the show. Thank you!

Click episode names for links to online versions of the works by the way :D And please let me know if you think I made an error, I’m more than willing to fix it

I literally read all of these in three days so I’ll be posting for eps 13-24 in less than a week (I hope)

E1: A Perfect Day For Bananafish by J.D. Salinger

Muriel and Seymour, her husband (who Muriel calls “see-more”), are staying at a hotel near a beach. Muriel calls her mom to reassure her that everything has gone well, but her mother is anxious about Seymour’s state since he returned from war. Of course, Muriel says everything is fine and that Seymour is down at the beach. The reader can assume that Muriel takes a nap shortly after the call with her mother. At the beach, Seymour talks to a little girl (Sybil) and goes to swim with her and just play around. He proposes that they try to look for bananafish. He mentions that these fish eat bananas (strange) in spaces between rocks that they are then unable to escape because of weight gain from the food and they die. Sybil eventually says that she saw a bananafish, which for some reason prompts Seymour to kiss her foot (something you wanna tell us, Seymour?). Sybil runs inside when they get out of the water, and Seymour goes up to his and Muriel’s room. In the elevator, he claims that a woman is staring at his feet (honestly Seymour, what’s with the FEET?). When he gets to the room, Muriel is asleep. Without much further explanation, he grabs a gun and shoots himself.

We can obviously see the correlation between the drug in the show and the fish in the story, as both of them prompt the victim to cause harm to themselves. Seymour was also affected by mental illness after being at war, which could relate to Griffin’s character.

E2: In Another Country by Ernest Hemingway

During a war, Nick (the narrator) is in a hospital with Italian soldiers. Nick can be interpreted as an extension of Hemingway himself within the story. Nick meets three soldiers at the hospital that have earned medals for brave actions. This makes Nick feel bad, because his medal was awarded to him simply because he was an american fighting in the war and was accidentally injured. Nick also meets a younger soldier who wears a cloth over half of his face (an injury that he got BEFORE the war). Because this soldier is the only person who hasn’t gotten a medal for bravery, Nick finds ease in talking to him. Oh! I should probably mention that this story is supposed to be a reflection of Hemingway’s war experiences as well. Anyway, during physical therapy one day, a major is quite rude to Nick and tells him not to get married (Nick brought up the topic) because his wife would leave him. Later, the major apologizes and says that his wife passed away not long ago. For the rest of the story, the major looks out the window instead of focusing on his therapy.

E3: Across The River And Into The Trees by Ernest Hemingway

This one far easier to explain. Essentially, a middle aged man named Cantwell can feel that he’s going to die soon and has a relationship with a 19 year old girl in his last few months. As is typical with Hemingway, there is mention of war happening during this time. However, war is not the focal point of the story (this time). The young girl, Renata, is referred to several times during a flashback that tells the reader of Cantwell’s time in World War I. Apparently, Cantwell knew Renata for a while and was romantically involved with her. Cantwell’s friend, Jackson, urges him to stay with Renata for his final days. Cantwell decides to do just that, and so his final days are spent having sex with a girl less than half his age. Renata seems like she doesn’t give half a crap about it either so that’s... better? Idk all of this is nasty. Anyway, as you can tell, Cantwell ends up dying. He has a heart attack in the back of a car. He quotes Stonewall Jackson before he dies and leaves a note along with his body that basically just says to return a set of guns to someone. ALSO I feel like I should mention that Cantwell literally called Renata his DAUGHTER and she didn’t mind it, even though they were also getting drunk and having sex like all the time.

Obviously, the pedophilia relates to Dino and his whole category of people in BF. That’s about all I can get out of this one.

E4: This Side Of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald

This one is a LONG boy but the concept can be shortened so that’s what I’m gonna do. Basically a guy named Amory goes to Princeton but he’s SUPER lazy. He doesn’t pay attention in class but he still learns from friends/books. World War I starts and of course he joins. His mom dies while he is away. When he gets back he falls in love with a woman named Rosalind. She loves him too but she doesn’t want to marry anyone poor (and Amory is kind of broke). She breaks off their engagement and marries a rich guy instead. Amory drinks to forget until alcohol becomes illegal. Later, he has a fling with a girl named Eleanor. Then, his friend gets caught with a girl but Amory says it was his fault to keep his friend from having to deal with the consequences. Amory finds out that a his last close family friend has passed away. He runs into one of his dad’s other friends who gives him a short life lessons before he keeps walking back to Princeton. Amory is still not over Rosalind, so he thinks about her on the way home. The book ends with a really emotional (but kind of overdramatic) scene of Amory looking up at the sky and reflecting on his life, saying that the only person he really knows is himself.

E5: From Death To Morning by Thomas Wolfe (this link is kind of a pain sorry)

This is NOT a single work, but rather a collection of many. It’s a whole book of short works of fiction, so rather than explain each and every one of them, I’m just going to give you some major themes so you get the idea. Thomas Wolfe was admired by William Faulkner, who’s works are used later in Banana Fish. In From Death To Morning, all of the 14 stories featured have a theme of loss. Even the titles themselves make that clear. A majority of them involve death, and a solid amount take place in different parts of New York.

Death happens a LOT in BF. Loss is also a powerful motivator for Ash (because of his dead brother) and Eiji (because of his pole-vaulting career). Other characters are also motivated by losses of their own.

E6: My Lost City by F. Scott Fitzgerald

This is a nonfiction essay written by Fitzgerald. It talks about his life in New York, and has a depressing approach. There isn’t necessarily a flowing plot, but some very important points are made throughout the story. The author discusses his expectations of New York (celebrity life, luxury, freedom) and then moves to mourn the loss of such dreams. Real life in New York was not as great as he thought, to no one’s surprise. He leaves the city a couple of times, in hopes that he’ll regain his appreciation for the city. Most people have heard of The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald’s most famed work. The exciting parties mentioned in the book, along with the tragedies and the melancholy tone of some parts is a reflection of his feelings towards the city. In My Lost City, he is connecting the New York of his dreams to reality. However, he also feels that he cannot part with the city. Every time he plans on getting out of the situation he’s found himself in, he finds himself coming back to where he started.

Honestly, I see one of the largest BF to Lit connections with this one because of the way Eiji saw the city. He came to New York with a certain mindset, and he was being sort of a “fanboy” of the city. He was SO excited about everything, but then every expectation was ruined within the first few hours of his stay. Though he came in with an image of a movie-like city, he ended up being introduced to the world of violence, drugs, and just about every crime you could imagine. And yet, like Fitzgerald, he stayed and kept hope for happier times. (And as we know, he found happiness with Ash.)

E7: The Rich Boy by F. Scott Fitzgerald

The rich boy in the story, named Anson Hunter, believes him to be sort of above other people because of his money. This is basically a projection of how Fitzgerald thought of the upper class. Anson, however, is not the narrator. This will be important later. In the beginning of the story, Anson is in love with a girl named Paula (whom he met when he was in the Navy), and believes he has control over her. This arrogance causes her to become frustrated with him and she leaves him. Anson then moves on to be in a relationship with a girl named Dolly. She is a lot more playful and does not let Anson control their relationship, but he tries to anyway. They’re a very good match, honestly. He is playing with her feelings but she’s playing him right back. The problem, however, is that Anson still loves Paula. So, he leaves Dolly and goes on to fuck up other people’s relationships like he fucked up his own. He hears that his aunt is cheating on his uncle with someone, and he makes a big scene out of it even though it wasn’t any of his business. The man that she was with kills himself soon after. The next time Anson sees Paula, she says she never loved him. Obviously, he’s saddened by that but apparently it isn’t enough to make him change his ways. Paula dies when giving birth to her second husband’s child. At the end of the story, Anson drinks with the narrator (his friend for all this time), but leaves as soon as he sees an attractive woman nearby.

E8: Banal Story by Ernest Hemingway

In this story, the narrator is not named. He sits and eats an orange in the beginning, while he reflects on past events that don’t really have anything to do with him (Mesopotamia, cricket games, etc.). He reads a magazine as he reflects. Then, the story shifts and all of a sudden it’s talking about a dying bullfighter’s funeral. Apparently, people come to the funeral basically just for clout. He’s pretty popular, so everyone wants to be able to say they knew him. A bunch of people buy pictures of him but don’t actually care about them. Hemingway says the people basically just shove them into their pockets and don’t pay much attention to them. While this happens, other bullfighters are glad that this guy will no longer be a part of the competition. Essentially, this famous dude dies and no one seems to give half a crap. I think this might be related to the beginning of the story in some way. My personal theory is that the bullfighter’s death may be portrayed as unimportant to people, but in the future someone may think back on it? I’m not exactly sure, but it could be a sort of loop to the man thinking about the past in the beginning.

E9: Save Me The Waltz by Zelda Fitzgerald (yes, F. Scott’s wife)

This is vaguely an autobiography about Zelda’s life, divided into four sections. The main character is named Alabama Braggs, even though she technically represents Zelda. There’s a lot of content, so I’ll give you the most important parts of each section instead. Part one involves Alabama’s life until around the age of 20. Alabama sees her older siblings experience heartbreak while she lives a life trying to act older. She begins to act spontaneously. She drinks excessively, sleeps around, and woos as many men as she can. She eventually falls in love with a man named David. Alabama had always dreamed of moving to New York, and David was planning to do so. She doesn’t like the idea of being tied down, but she loves David. In the second part, she is engaged to him. They soon get married. He doesn’t have much money, but Alabama is unaware of this. Although the family runs out of money a lot (which makes Alabama realize her husband is poor, but she loves him regardless), they still live luxurious lives. They irresponsibly spend money on parties and such. When Alabama gets pregnant, her parents visit her. They are unhappy with her life, but Alabama does not seem to pay any mind to this. David and Alabama become bored of NYC and decide to go to France. Alabama is anxious on the way there and spends most of her time on the boat in their cabin with her daughter (Bonnie) while David drinks. After they get settled in France, Alabama has an affair with a guy who later moves to China, leaving her lonely. When David has an affair after they move to Paris, Alabama takes up dancing with a famous ballerina who is willing to teach her. In part three, the couple’s relationship becomes more strained when Alabama chooses to commit to ballet instead of her relationship with David. They stay in Paris a while longer before splitting apart. In part four, Alabama lives in Italy, where she performs for a ballet. David sends her flowers, but does not visit. Bonnie visits once, but doesn’t like her mom’s life. Eventually, they all go back to America to see Alabama’s dying dad. She gets to spend time with him before he passes, and the book ends with them throwing a party (like the good old days) and her cleaning up the mess afterwards. The family decides to all move somewhere together afterwards.

E10: Babylon Revisited by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Oh great, another complicated one. This summary will explain the general progression of events, but I WILL be leaving out some things that you might think are important so I strongly encourage you to read this one. As the story opens, Charlie is coming to visit his daughter, who greets him with excitement. The other people in the house seem to dislike Charlie. He used to drink a lot and act recklessly, but he’s stopped engaging in that lifestyle a long time (~1.5 years) ago. Others still seem to keep that impression of him. While Charlie does not specifically try to regain trust from the others in the household, he continues to cherish his daughter throughout. He does everything that is expected of a loving father. After a lot of convincing, Lincoln (an adult in the household) tells Charlie that he can live with Honoria (Charlie’s daughter). Marion (the other adult in the household) continues to hold a grudge against Charlie because his wife was her sister and she died after cheating on him. In the end, Charlie is separated from his daughter because of something that affected Lincoln at the time. He decides to continue to send Honoria gifts even though he knows he should be doing more.

E11: The Beautiful And Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Anthony Patch is the main character in this. His grandfather tried to get him to start a career in writing for a very long time, but Anthony has not paid much attention to it. He claims he is working, but does not (big mood). He falls in love with a girl named Gloria who uses her looks to get anything she wants. Gloria likes a movie director for a period of time, but drops him and gets with Anthony as soon as Anthony expresses his interest. They start out happy together, but soon realize their differences and struggle in their relationship. When they realize they do not have enough money, they push that problem off to the future and throw parties instead. His grandpa shows up to one of these parties without warning and scolds Anthony for his behavior. He disinherits him and dies shortly after. The grandpa’s secretary writes Anthony out of his will, so Anthony is left with little to nothing. Gloria and Dick (Anthony’s friend) go to fight in court for the money. This whole time, by the way, Gloria gives no shits about her own life. She doesn’t fear death at all. She is sad, however, when her old interest tells her that she is too old to be a lead actress. Anyway, Anthony goes into town and tries to find someone who could loan him any money. No one agrees, not even his best friend. After being tossed around because of his lack of money, Anthony makes it home. A few weeks later, Gloria and Dick come home to Anthony being emotionally nostalgic on the bathroom floor (he’s drunk, too) declaring that they had won the case. At the end of the novel, Anthony is described in distant 3rd person. He is said to have been physically and mentally drained by a family friend’s suicide. His money has also been taken away from him.

E12: To Have And Have Not by Ernest Hemingway

A man named Harry Morgan is a smuggler and takes money to do jobs for people. He agrees to help a Chinese man named Sing smuggle people across the border. Once he does this and gets the money, however, he kills Sing instead. Almost a year later, he is smuggling alcohol but becomes injured by Cubans. Harry and his friend decide to sink the alcohol and come back for it later or have another ship take it. A U.S. official sees this happen and reports the action. Harry gets his boat taken away and his arm is cut off as a result. Harry steals his boat but then gets it taken away from him again. He visits his family one last time and his wife gives him a loaded gun to take with him. Harry leaves, but is hurt by Cubans soon after. He gets away while his friend is killed. Eventually, Harry gets to a rich area that takes him in to a hospital where he dies during surgery. He gets to know these people a little before he dies, and their lives contrast the way Harry lived for the whole first section of the book. Among these rich families is a gay couple (because Hemingway is what the kids call, “woke”) and a bunch of people with various backgrounds, both good and bad. Marie ends up not going to his funeral because of guilt.

Harry’s wife reminds me of Jessica from BF honestly because she cares a lot about him and is also really badass while trying to protect him.

Phenomenon Serendipity 3: Mystery of the Bomber (Sneak Peek)

Briar and Atsushi are baffled to see a cheerful Dazai hanging from the flag pole. Everyone was confused, Kunikda was pissed. “Hi everybody!” Dazai greeted. “Mr. Dazai, what are you doing up there on the flag pole?” Atsushi asked. “Just ‘hanging around’, heh. I was hopping from rooftop to rooftop to find you guys when I lost my footing and well—here I am~! I thought this would be a perfect method to have such a wonderful way to the afterlife but that’ll cause me pain and I wouldn’t want that.” Dazai explained with a shrug. Briar gave him a look, “Let me guess, Chuya got you up there.” She said. “Who the hell is Chuya?” Anson asked. “You idiot!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU’RE CAUSING TO THE ARMED DETECTIVE AGENCY!? HONESTLY!!!” Kunikida exclaimed. He turns to Benimaru and Konro. “I’m so sorry, he’s eccentric at best.” Kunikida said in a calm tone of voice. “It’s fine.” Konro said with a shake of his head. “Ugh, great—a strange man acting so nonchalant while hanging from the pole. That’s a great way to make my day.” Benimaru retorted. “Hey, can someone get me down from here, please?” Dazai asked. After he was brought back down; Dazai explains he was looking for a bomber that’s causing trouble and needs help however Atsushi is nervous as he backs away as he clutches Briar by her shoulder. “He’s going to ask me to do it. For my assistance! I can’t work with him, I’m too overwhelmed by this guy!” Atsushi whispered. Briar felt bad, Benimaru wasn’t so friendly sometimes but he was a good guy. “Don’t you walk out of this!” Benimaru warned. “I’m not doing it, you’re gonna ask me to track him down but I can’t do it! No offense, Captain Shinmon but you’re intimidation is too much for me.” Atsushi protested. “He’s not going to do it.” Benimaru stated, turning to Dazai. “Oh don’t fret. I know his weakness. Listen up.” Dazai said with a knowing smile. He whispered to Benimaru and Konro, Atsushi is nervous. He glanced over, “Tell him I’m not interested!” Atsushi whispered. “OK, I’ll tell him.” Briar mumbled back. “Atsu~shi~!” Dazai called in a singsong voice. “He’s not doing it, Dazai!” Briar responded. Dazai wagged his finger at her, “I wasn’t talking to you, Briar my dear. Aaaaatsu~sssshhhi~!” He scolded lightly. “Absolutely not!” Atsushi snapped. “You didn’t hear what I was going to say!” Dazai protested. “I know what it is, I’m not doing it!” Atsushi complained. “Hey Tiger Brat!” hollered Benimaru. Atsushi was taken aback, “Did he just call me ‘Tiger Brat’?” He thought.

“If you do this—there might be a reward.” Benimaru vowed. Atsushi was stunned, “R—really?” He asked. But Atsushi turned away while shaking his head. “No! I refused, I won’t do it! No matter how much you paid me—I won’t!” He claimed. However, Atushi was curious. “But j—just wondering, how much is the reward money?” He asked. “Hmm…what was it again?” Dazai asked. “Waka?” Konro questioned. “Nine thousand million yen.” Benimaru replied. Atsushi freaks out. “NINE. THOUSAND. MILLION. YEN?!” He exclaimed. He then appeared next to Briar calmly before he rushed over with great speed, his eyes were wide and his pupils were dilated from the excitement. “S—so, if I do this, you’ll pay me that amount of money? You mean it?” Atsushi exclaimed. Benimaru and Konro exchanged sneaky grins. “Yes.” Benimaru confirmed. “We promise.” Konro agreed. Atsushi turned to Dazai with anticipation. “Mr. Dazai?” He rasped. Dazai had a twinkle in his eye. “A suicide advocate always keeps his word~!” He verified. Atsushi pumps his fists, “All right! I’ll do it!” He declared. He marches forward while Briar gave the three an amused yet perplexed smile before trailing behind Atsushi. “Heh, nice sarcasm about being a suicide advocate.” Benimaru remarked. “Oh no, it wasn’t sarcasm—my dream is to commit a double suicide with a beautiful woman. Isn’t it wonderful?” Dazai cooed, getting starry eyed about it. Benimaru and Konro stared at him in concern. “…Beg pardon?” Konro managed to ask. “That is my ultimate goal, and when I meet this beautiful woman, she and I will plunge into the abyss that is double suicide! Well, I’m off!” Dazai said. “Waka? I believe there’s something wrong with this man.” Konro noted. “I think someone needs to get him some help. Seriously!” Benimaru grumbled. So they investigate about the bomber but Tilda saw something that gave her a clue to the bomber. There were grenades in the shape of lemons. “Oh Captain Shinmon, I think I figured out who the bomber is.” Tilda said with a grin.

David Singer: Trump must reject Abbas claims at UN on size of Palestine

Here's the latest article by Sydney lawyer and international affairs analyst David Singer.

He writes:

President Trump cannot begin to resolve the Jewish-Arab conflict unless he first rejects the claims made by Mahmoud Abbas at the United Nations in 2012 and 2013 concerning the territorial dimensions of former Palestine. Abbas told the United Nations on 27 September 2012

“The two-State solution, i.e. the State of Palestine coexisting alongside the State of Israel, represents the spirit and essence of the historic compromise embodied in the Oslo Declaration of Principles, the agreement signed 19 years ago between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Government of Israel under the auspices of the United States of America on the White House Lawn, a compromise by which the Palestinian people accepted to establish their State on only 22% of the territory of historic Palestine for the sake of making peace.”

Abbas repeated

this claim at the United Nations on 26 September 2013:

“However, as representatives of the Palestinian people, we have long been aware of our responsibilities towards our people and had the necessary courage to accept a two-State solution: Palestine and Israel on the borders of 4 June 1967, establishing a Palestinian State on 22% of the land of historic Palestine”

On 11 January 2014 Abbas stated

“Israel’s problem is that the Palestinians know more than the Israelis about history and geography, We talk about what we know”

Abbas was talking through his keffiyeh Abbas’s twice-repeated claim contradicted article 2 of the 1968 PLO Charter – which organisation Abbas heads:

“Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an indivisible territorial unit.”

The boundaries of the British Mandate – created in 1922 under the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine – encompassed the territory that is today called Israel, Jordan, Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza.

Article 25 of the Mandate restricted the reconstitution of the Jewish National Home to an area extending to the Jordan River - 22% of the territory comprised in the Mandate.

The Mandate – administered by Great Britain until 1948 – saw the creation of:

· one Arab State in 78% – Jordan – in 1946

· one Jewish State in 17% – Israel – in 1948

· sovereignty remaining unallocated in the remaining 5% – Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza

Abbas’s claim at the UN in 2012 and 2013:

· is deceptive and misleading

· amounts to intellectual fraud and

· rejects international law as established by the Mandate

Trump’s acknowledgement that Jordan – not Israel – comprises 78% of historic Palestine would greatly enlarge the territorial field within which Trump could hope to resolve the long running conflict which now hinges on who should exercise sovereignty over a piece of land no larger than Delaware.

Jordan's inclusion in any negotiations would create alternative solutions to end the conflict other than the creation of another Arab State between Israel and Jordan – a proposal first floated by the United Nations in 1947 and rejected many times since then by the Arabs.

That is a prospect that should excite Trump as he seeks to find a way to end a conflict whose solution eluded Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama over the last 23 years. Those presidents had the best of intentions yet stumbled badly in failing to reach the finishing line because they shied away from insisting Jordan be a party to any negotiations with Israel.

Jordan – part of the conflict in Palestine since 1922 – must be part of any solution in 2017.

Trump – the consummate deal maker – must involve Jordan in any further negotiations to avoid following in the footsteps of his failed predecessors.

In the case of “Palestine” size can really make a big difference.Posted by Daphne Anson at
