#kp update

[gloriousmonsters]

so i technically watched all but the last 20 minutes of kp like, four days ago, and then J and I had to stop because it was too insane and we ran out of energy, and then we just finished today. uh. thoughts?

J called it 'the puella madoka magica of BL' at one point and we both also repeatedly compared it to 365 Days, the insane terrible trilogy about a woman who gets kidnapped by a mafia guy and then marries him. EXCEPT actually 365 Days is better because she breaks up with the first mafia guy when he gets even more abusive than before and gets herself a nice boyfriend who treats her right. still in the mafia but we can't have it all. (this is partly a joke. I am not saying the 365 days books are good. this is about the specific plot point) but anyway. the 'oh this is x genre-oh no wait this is horrifying' of it all

i knew kinn and porsche had to end up together because. title :((( but god i was rooting SO hard for it to not happen somehow. PVP is still the realest they all have better chemistry. ending of the heart is that vegas and porsche and pete all like fake their deaths in an explosion or something and move to another country with chay and macau. they can get a house together and vegas can make a proper kink room instead of draping his bedroom with aesthetic chains and porsche can open a bar because by god it might not be the healthiest job for him but it's 100x better than the mafia

the way they spend the whole time showing how horrific the mafia is like not even on a 'killing and shaking down people and various other crimes etc' level but on a 'loyalty in this environment only gets you killed and everyone is super dysfunctional and relationships cannot flourish in this environment' level and then the end is. yaaaay everyone's happy in the mafia! porsche is the head of a mafia family now! yaaaaaay

i do not for a single millisecond believe anything that comes out of korn's mouth. genuinely one of the most rancid skin-crawling assholes i've seen in a while and he lives. the fuck

relatedly i actually wound up feeling really bad for gun in the last ep, like... he's a fucked up dude and abusive but he has SUCH glaring emotional problems (in a way that reminded me in places of vegas) and the way he reacts to korn is soso. 'dealing with bitch who's gaslighted you before', which made him way more sympathetic than korn. (I do not for a minute believe the whole 'oh uh he raped porche's mom and that made her take magic pills that conveniently made her into a docile doll for korn to keep as an atticwife')

relatedly! PORSCHE'S MOM IS A FUCKING ATTICWIFE

*takes porsche by the shoulder and points* honey that's you in five years. get the fuck out of here

but like wow!! the way even her sons just treat her as an object to have feelings at instead of a damaged person and the series literally ends with a focus on her dead-eyed face as she's hugged without her consent! awful! also feels thematic!

love how porsche gives chay a speech about how he totally loves him and is going to be there for him and then proceeds to risk his life recklessly and stay in the mafia, both things chay Specifically Asked Him Not To Do

moment of positivity; despite everything, the after-credits scene of vegas having survived and getting to cuddle with his two favorite people was so healing

but like.... porsche ends the series in a job he once swore he'd rather die than do, with a guy who after one time never apologizes for any of his shitty actions, surrounded by Kinn's friends instead of his own. but uh kinn made him a drink i'm sure that makes up for everything

Really wish we had a bit more closure for kim and chay - it kind of felt like they needed more scenes the whole way along and then it kind of closes out with a big ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ mostly I really wanted them to properly confront each other, but I would have settled for an indication that chay was going to continue to block him (probably healthy) or maybe be open to talking again (unwise for him probably, but i Do want the best for my dead-eyed boy so i'm conflicted)

so overall like. I really enjoyed the bits of porsche and pete and vegas interacting along the way, and how vegas and pete got to close the series (though I still think they should fake their deaths). the swerve from slightly more normal crime/family drama to EXTREME GOTHIC was. A Lot. justice for porsche's sexy lamp mom whose name i cannot remember i'm sorry ma'am. #freeporsche. overall i think i'm going to be digesting this for a bit and then probably move on, but I'm glad I watched it

so many iconic moments in this special but i’d like to bring your attention to: ARMTANKHUN

-Back on the Beat-

Part 1. 06

So Porsche wasn’t much help. Porchay doesn't really want to ask Ohm for advice, since he hasn't actually told Ohm much of anything that’s been going on… and Mine only knows that Porchay had his heart broken by “that psycho who dislocated Sun’s jaw”. 

...He still brings it up sometimes...

Porchay goes back to his message chain with Kim and scrolls through their recent exchages.

‘Fuck it’ he thinks. 

And sends Kim a text this time.

A few updates on Man Suang

Editing is done ✅

Final sound of the trailer is done ✅

About the soundtrack:

Pond posted this story (translated by google on the right):

Ohm is this artist that Apo met 2 months ago:

Today Pond and Bible did a live with him on IG and he let them hear the demo of the soundtrack of Man Suang for the first time:

Ohm said that the demo is finished, but the music is not 100% complete because it requires a lot of musical instruments.

Bible said that it sounds very majestic. Pond said that it fits the city of Mansuang and many people's lives of that time. Ohm said that there will be a MV.

Apo talked about the Man Suang’s project for all fanartists (with eng subs):

Tong, Bas, Nodt and Pong went to the launch of SONG WAT GUIDEBOOK on June 16.

Song Wat is an area of Bangkok with a great historical value. The name "Song Wat" translates to "drawing by the king". In fact, it was built by King Rama V; the Siamese government wanted to expand the roads and public utilities to a wider area and King Rama V wrote the line of the area with a pencil on the map by himself (source).

The project of Man Suang x Song Wat is still unknown!

↳ Chapter 13 of WHITE NIGHTS is UP!

(Read on ao3)

Just for tonight, he resolved to himself, tracing Kinn’s eyelashes with his eyes. The man had fallen asleep somewhere between 4 a.m. and 6. His chest was moving in deep, steady breaths, his nipples peaked. He looked so innocent in sleep, so graceless. He looked just like a boy. Porsche could even imagine him as one, tonight, in this room. Just a boy that Porsche likes, and desperately wants. So Porsche turned on his side and slept close to Kinn, letting the rise and fall of his chest sedate him, the rhythm of his breaths a lullaby. No nightmares visited him that night, no tangled dreams of repression and want, and death. He had slept soundly in the deepest darkness of his mind, where he had met the boy Kinn once was, before he had been divested of all that he had been.

what bl do you recommend for someone who never manages to watch more than three episodes of the bl series out there, doesn't like super cheesy romance so the thai white-shirted boys don't work, doesn't want too much hot and heavy stuff so kinnporsche doesn't work, doesn't want pointless second hand embarrassment, doesn't want sexuality discovery, doesn't want women constantly trying to break the couple, wants to laugh a little but doesn't want a comedy, a bl for someone very picky who just wants to have a good time honestly. i've tried a lot of bls but all of them seem like the same thing over and over. i'm almost hopeless in finding a bl to watch and i'm asking because the way i see it you're quite the expert on the area

Hello anon!! I feel your pain :( I was in like a year slump when it came to BL because everything seemed to mesh together. It can feel hopeless but you just have to find that “one” to pull you in. Unfortunately, it sometimes takes a lot of trial and error. I went through and complied a list of BL that hopefully you haven’t tried seen before. But definitely try to experiment with BL from different countries because each country has different “niches.” I really hope one of these works for you though <3

He’s Coming to Me (8ep x 75min || Youtube)

In this short supernatura Thai romance BL, a young man (Thun, played by Ohm Pawat), tries to help a kind ghost (Mes, played by Singto Prachaya) figure out the mystery behind his death. As they work on unraveling secrets, discovering betrayal, and navigating life (slash the afterlife), Mes and Thun fall in love. If you like your BL to be heartwarming & wholesome (but not too sweet it’ll give you cavities) with a dose of angst give HCTM a try. *HCTM is still one of the most underrated BL out there. It does have a tad bit of sexuality discovery but it’s handled in a very nuance and beautiful way.

History 2: Right or Wrong (8ep x 25min || Viki)

One of the more underappreciated additions to the HIStory series, History 2: Right or Wrong gives us a BL about a divorced single father and a college student. It has found family, age gap (done in a healthy manner), and wonderfully fleshed-out characters. If you like a more mature romance that isn't heavy on the Kinnporsche-level steamy skinship, domestic fluff that actually has a plot, and characters actually going through character development I highly rec History 2: Right or Wrong.

GAYA SA PELIKULA/Like in the Movies (8ep x 30min || Youtube)

Gaya Sa Pelikula came out during the Great Wave of 2020 PINOY BLs and it still holds its stop as my #1 BL during that year. I know you want to avoid sexuality discovery but I still had to include this for the simple fact that it's top-notch. Gaya Sa Pelikua is about Karl and Vlad, two different people from two different walks of life who ends up living as housemates for awhile. Karl is suffocating under the pressure of his family while Vlad is getting over a breakup. They intially don’t get along but as time goes by they help each other actually live rather than just going through the motion. If you like your BL to be packed with emotion and to actually discuss LGBTQ+ issues in a frank manner please go watch this. I know you dislike coming out stories but Gaya Sa Pelikula is one of the best of the best of the BL genre because it’s so much more than that. 

Not Me (14ep x 45min || Youtube)

White and Black (both played by Gun Atthaphan) has a close connection but are seperated when they are children: one stays with their mother in Thailand while the other moves to Russia with their father. Years later, White returns to Thailand after Black is viciously attacked and sent into a coma. Since his brother hung around with a ‘sketchy’ gang, he decides to pretend to be his brother to find out what truly happens. This is a BL that is not solely focused on romance (although the romance that is shown is wonderful). It’s groundbreaking because it’s not just a silly college BL: it discusses real issues that are happening in Thailand today such as corruption, inequality, politics, etc. If you like your BL to have complex/layered characters & plots, give Not Me a try.

Ghost Host, Ghost House (8ep x 57min || Youtube)

This recent Thai BL is about Kevin, a live-streamer who is passionate about ghost hunting. He ends up moving in with some relatives who end up being ghosts (irony) and meets Pluem. Neither of the protags are ghost but this does dish into trauma and grief. However, it’s not super angsty or anything like that because the natural chemistry between the characters is solid. This is more of a character driven BL but that’s what makes it so good. We get to learn about all the characters and connect to them, which makes it painful when you have to say goodbye (but don’t fear, again, the two protags are alive). If you like your BL to be a bit eerie and heartwarming at the same time give Ghost Host, Ghost House a try!!

Triage (13ep x 44min || AIS Play)

In this time loop romance BL, Tinn is a doctor who, one day, finds himself repeating the same day over and over. Since he fails at saving one of his patients, Tol, the only way to stop the time loop is to actually save him. Mature BL that doesn’t focus on high school kids or set in college are honestly the way to go. The plots are meaty and just because the characters are older that doesn’t mean that super steamy skinship is required. I just started this yesterday so I’m not finished but so far I highly recommend it. Again, if you like BL that isn’t solely focused on romance please give Triage a try!!

3 Will Be Free (10ep x 50min || Youtube)

3wbf is not really a BL but it’s going on the list because it’s criminally underrated. Without giving away too much of the plot, 3wbf essentially gives us a canon poly relationship between a stripper, the son of a mafia boss, and a gogo bar manager. It gives us a trans character who is not played for laughs and has a legit powerful plotline complete with romance. Everything about 3wbf is top tier. From the acting to the plot to the characters to the cinematography.

Blueming (11ep x 14min || IQIYI)

Blueming is a well loved BL for a reason: it’s amazing. Despite being short, it manages to tell a coherent and interestig story. It’s not just a silly romance, it’s intimate and talks about heavy things like insecurities...yet the audience does not get weighed down with angst. If you like more nuanced or quiet BL that focuses on characters are indiviuals themselves, their family relations, and their relationship as a couple do give Blueming a try!

To My Star 1 & 2 (9ep x 15min || Viki)

Two polar opposites: a famous actor who is going through a rough patch meets and falls for a young chef, end up falling in love. This has a second season which I didn’t watch yet but I still heard good things about it. If you like the cohabitation trope and want to see two wonder characters blossom as individuals go check this out!

Old Fashion Cupcake (5ep x 25min || Viki)

Once again, BL that focuses on adults in the workplace are top tier. Old Fashion Cupcake follows 39-year old Nozue who is just going through the same motions in life. He ends up falling in love with his subordinate at work who is ten years his junior. Old Fashion Cupcake feels like being wrapped in a big blanket as you munch on your favorite comfort food. It’s soft and lovely and genuinely amazing. The way these characters build each other up. If you like realistic BL and character driven stuff, give this short JBL a try!

Cherry Magic (12ep x 24min || IrozukuSubs)

I won’t lie to you, Cherry Magic is mostly fluff but I had to include it. In case you have yet to give this a try, please do. The premise is bonkers: Adachi is a 30 year old virigin who gains the ability to read minds when people touch him. He ends up finding out that his coworker, Kurosawa has been pining for him for years. Do you like your BL to have respectful, wonderful, and relatable characters? Do you like to occasionally turn off your brain and watch something that is silly but full of heart? Cherry Magic proves that sometimes you don’t need an elaborate plot to be interesting. You just need sweet characters and an even sweeter romance. *Cherry Magic also has a few specials + film out!!*

Here are some other BL I recommend but do let me know if there are any other certain genres you like/dislike! This is not my full list, just the ones that avoid the things you dislike. ** are the ones that are some of my top favorites

Chapters: 11/25

OOP what’s that? An update and a chapter count?? And on the first day of Pride??? Sometimes I get my shit together team, only sometimes though. Which explains all the comments I’m still working on replying to. I swear I will get there some day.

Thank you again to @luckydragon10 for the beta on this chapter, I’m pretty sure her comma eraser is smoking with all the work I’ve been giving her of late. Love you Nems.

[daswarschonkaputt]

so uh. the next chapter of apias might be basically done? i just need to proofread and edit it now lol

[gloriousmonsters]

it's late but brief ep 12 kp updates

vegaspete storyline is. a lot so far. i do like it, even tho it feels extremely speedrun by being brought in so late. them bonding over the abusive dads thing was good, the unhinged bdsm is sexy, and somehow despite the torture and light sexual assault they have better consent than kp for their first sex scene plus vegas uses a condom, so. a confused thumbs up about that

vegas babe i think your hedgehogs die because you keep them in antique birdcages with a light scattering of sawdust and no toys or stimulation or places to curl up. i hate to tell you this because you are Very wet and sad about it but. this is probably on you

on the other hand i guess vegas losing pets because he just doesn't know how to care for things properly and going '????? why happen?? is it because i'm a bad person or everything hates me maybe???' is very on brand

'i was responsible for covering up your parents' death' says korn, surprising nobody. honestly i expect another twist where he's MORE responsible or something cause. rancid vibes, but we'll see

you know how i said kinn was still likeable/enjoyable...? unfortunately not anymore. the followup to the bar sex scene was way too suddenly 'cute and sweet fluff' for me to really like it, and then the fucking tawan storyline happens, and i hate everything about it because 'ex from the past comes back and is an arbitrary villain' is not my least fave romance trope but it's Right up there, and it's a whole thing of kinn. not looping porsche in on important information and then blaming him for not wanting to be locked up/being mad kinn doesn't trust him. and he has just not recovered from that, because they keep on being either cloyingly cute while nothing happens, or it's another 'porsche get the FUCK out of there' scene. there are 2 eps but i'm genuinely unsure if kinn can get himself out of my bad graces in them. guess we'll see

currently i'm like. vegas has 2 hands. yes he lightly sexually assaulted porsche and nearly shot him and lied to him but. kinn has also done all those things and he's more insufferable, plus even if it's fake or w/e vegas and porsche had cute chemistry. plus if he and porsche and pete had a thing their abbreviation could be pvp

kim and chay are INSANE. they have so little time but every moment is fantastic. kim finds out chay has a shrine to him and is like 'hot. write me a love song, kid'. he then tries to ghost him and chay lightly stalks him in order to find him and perform his love song on the sidewalk. they sort-of kiss and cuddle together overnight and chay's like 'i love you! do you love me' and kim makes dial-up noises for five minutes while looking for emotions that he stopped having at the age of seven, and finally settles for, 'i'm hungry'. chay confronts him about lying and is wailing sobbing emoting his little heart out and kim is just like ._. then chay decides to cope by bailing on music college, styling himself to look more like kim, and trying to get into substance abuse (this FAMILY!!) whereupon kim remembers the emotion of anger and shows up just to punch a guy, yell at chay ambiguously, and leave. obsessed with them. no idea where this is going

Part 1. 04

Kim scrolls through Reddit.

Kim scrolls through Pinterest.

Kim scrolls through Google Images.

Kim scrolls through any website he can find when he types “memes” into the search bar.

He has a folder in his gallery now where he keeps images to send to Porchay.

These days he often finds himself spending his spare time looking for memes so he’s ready for whatever Porchay sends him next.

Though sometimes Porchay will send him a meme, and he can’t find one in his folder that feels like a good enough response, and so he will spend another ten minutes scrolling through various websites until he finds one that he likes.

He tries not to think about how pathetic he’s become.

He hasn’t seen Porchay in person since they broke up outside Kim’s apartment building.

Its been... a long time now...

Porchay is obviously avoiding him. Not that he makes it difficult to do, what with keeping away from the compound as much as he can get away with.

Kim wants to ask him how he’s doing.

But he can’t figure out a way to do that through memes.

Kim wants to talk to Porchay.

Kim wants to see him in person again.

Kim wants to send him a normal fucking message.

Kim wants….
