what are some shows you’re really enjoying right now? i feel like everything i was watching has finished up and i’m in a rut trying to decide what to start next.
Oo great question, right now I am only watching three shows, and I am enjoying all of them, they are:
23.5 Degrees (YouTube or Netflix with VPN)- We're three episodes in and it has been so cute and funny, it's high school but it also gave me weird girls of a number of varieties so I am having the time of my motherfucking life with this show so far!
Love is Better the Second Time Around (GagaOoLala)- Two-thirds of the way through this series and it is vying for a 10/10 rating for me at the moment. It's a second chance romance that has actually allowed it's adult characters to have an adult relationship with one another before they've even decided to date.
Unknown (YouTube, Viki, Yoku) We're halfway through the show and it has been blowing me away. This is a difficult piece in terms of subject matter both from a trauma perspective and from a relationship perspective since it is about two brothers falling in love, but it has been handling the material extremely seriously and it's got lots of good layers going on.
While I was on the small live watch list, I decided to play catch up with some shows that are already completed and just recently binge watched three shows and enjoyed them all:
Sleep With Me (YouTube and GagaOoLala) A very short watch, only like 2.5 hours total, this is a GL out of the Phillipines about two disabled women who enter a relationship. It is everything Last Twilight wishes that it could be and I very much enjoyed all the points it made around visible and invisible disabilities. Also, the women in this show are all stunning and I am in love with all of them. A mutual of mine just finished watching it and that inspired me to watch it and now I am trying to force it upon @solitaryandwandering
Ghost Host, Ghost House (YouTube) This show had one of my favorite sex scenes of all time, I guess it was less the sex scene itself and honestly much more of the foreplay leading up to them actually fucking, when they are putting feelers out. Kevin's legs are a trap and Pluem really was fighting for his life not to stare too hard. I agree with @bengiyo I really love how gay these two characters are. Great piece about grief, but it does have ghosts in it, so if you watch it keep in mind that there is some sad content towards the end of the show.
DNA Says Love You (Viki, IQIYI) Okay so I had some difficulty with how this show decided to use a lot of its time but Amber is one of my favorite character now, and I had to stop myself from rewatching this show the day after finishing it just so I could get more time with him. Would recommend for a queer character we rarely see in media.
Also, on a completely different note, I just finished watching Black Sails for the first time and it was fucking incredible and I would highly recommend this political Treasure Island prologue pirate show.

15 Day BL Challenge 2K24
FULL CHALLENGE HERE
Day 10: Most Emotionally Pleasing Love Scene
Hira and Kiyoi's Bathtub Scene in Utsukushii Kare: Eternal. You could practically FEEL Kiyoi mentally begging Hira to have his way with him. And of course, Hira is clueless and just content to share a hot bath with his most worshipped and treasured person. And then we basically get Kiyoi gently mentioning that he wants to be ravaged more, and though Hira didn't really manhandle Kiyoi the way he requested he did ravage the actor and made him stare at his pretty face during the ravaging. I just loved seeing a softer...hornier side of Kiyoi and I could truly feel his longing and frustration to be held and touched by his own boyfriend. It shows that in some aspects, Kiyoi is at Hira's mercy.
YaiJom's Goodbye Love Scene in I Feel You Linger in the Air. OH MY GAWD THIS SCENE FILLED ME WITH SO MANY FEELS. The passion and the sadness. Yai was so tender as he worshipped Jom's body. He was so fucking sweet and through tears he made gentle love to Jom. The way they cried and held onto each other. Oh my gawd! OH MY GAWD! Also the way they edited them breathing together over their flashback montage??? Heartbreaking. A beautiful, but torturing moment for them both I'm sure.
Kevin and Pluem's Final Love Scene in Ghost Host Ghost House. The way I was highkey WAITING for it. They hadn't seen each other in THREE YEARS, but when they finally reunited it was like no time had passed. But Pluem and Kevin were different people and it showed in the way they acted. Pluem seemed more at ease and more confident and sure of the love they had and Kevin seemed more relieved and happy that Pluem was still the perfect guy he fell for. You could just tell that they had been waiting for this reunification. Also if you look hard enough you can see Kevin's can tab bracelet in some of the shots before Pluem noticed it later.
Honorable mentions to CaiReels first time in Gameboys the Movie and JengPat getting it on in Jeng's restaurant in Step By Step.

need a new bl show to watch but unsure of how spicy it is? someone made a spicy index list
🌶️ - Bell pepper - longing glances, maybe a caress and pinky touch, solid hugs, no kisses (Cherry Magic)
🌶️🌶️ - Jalapeño popper - 1 or 2 kisses, closed mouth or hidden behind camera angles, full of cheesy emotions but not sexual (Mr. Unlucky has No Choice but to Kiss)
🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Sriracha - at least 1 decent kiss, actual makeout with or without tongue, but clothes stay on (Bad Buddy, Semantic Error)
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Birds eye chili - multiple solid kisses and some clothes come off, but cuts away before any pants come off and hands generally stay above the waist, it's implied that they have sex but we only see the very start of the encounter (609 Bedtime Story, Between Us, Until We Meet Again)
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Specialty hot sauce - all or most clothes come off at least once, full on simulated sex happens though it can be masked with sultry background music and may or may not include an implication of climax (Ghost Host Ghost House, Cutie Pie, Long Time No See)
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Carolina reaper - full nudity at some point, though junk may be cleverly hid with angles and conveniently placed furniture, these boys fuckin and there ain't no ambiguity about it, sexy sounds at full volume rather than replaced by music or voiceover (Kinnporsche, Love in the Air)
🌶️☠️ - Pepper spray - there's full on sex and/or nudity but it's not pleasant or intended to be sexy, can apply to graphic SA scenes or just the marketing campaign for Dangerous Drugs Of Sex
(the show list isn't fully comprehensive yet but a great start)

I swear people be watching a show and be like "Where is the consent??" "This is very toxic" blah blah blah, omg this is a piece of fiction and it's impossible to create something if writers continuously try to cater to the moral value of the audience
