#mew and the hot dogs

[mewkwota]

To those who said "It will be different please give it a chance"

You Lied. :)

It's the same pretentious, vomit-inducing garbage like before.

Everything is the same.

What's worse? You massacred my boy. Richter is written exactly as I thought and exactly as I feared. I Hate it. I hardly use that word because it's harsh, so ever so truly I HATE it.

And it doesn't even matter if NFCV-centric fans don't like these two (woah no way!!), you didn't make them likeable in the first place. You stripped them of everything that made them good.

Just how are you so good at this??

I won't be able to feel the same way drawing Richter ever again. This isn't even about people bringing the topic of the show to me now. The information will come to me eventually. I don't want to feel like I'm combatting this literally ugly image now plastered to his name, but it can't be helped when I feel like I have to prove that he's not some stuck-up manbaby that's meant to be woobified-- like someone else I'm thoroughly sick of seeing.

That said. Thank you, so much, for the wonderful work you've put in.

Because I'm not as much in the spotlight as others I can say this: Your adaptation is bad. I hope it gets cancelled.

[ectologia]

Please forgive me if this breaks your rules at all, but Shigaraki mommy kink? Like Shigaraki whimpering and moaning while he pins you down and fucks into reader and apologizes while calling them mommy <3

MOMMY FETISH WITH SHIGARAKI

TOMURA SHIGARAKI + FEMALE READER

WARNING: DUBCON/NONCON THEMES, FORCED BREEDING, MOMMY FETISH, CREAM-PIE, PROFANITY

He grunts in time with his grinding, huffing and puffing and mewing at the sensation of your cervix sucking on the fat, ridged knot of his tip. “Oh — It’s so good, mommy’s pussy feels so good!”

“No Tomura!” You scold him for his asperity, ironically — just how a mother would.

He pants and laps at the air like a dog, ivory teeth gnashing against his own tongue as he hums, encouraging the third down-pour of an explosive orgasm.

Blood-reds flicker below pale lids until the tendons hidden beneath tug the crimson hues backwards into their sockets, rifts of white overcoming scarlet.

“You’re so hot, mommy’s cunt is so fuckin’ hot and tight — I’m gonna cum inside!”

“Tomura, no! Off!”

“Wanna’ make mommy all fat and pregnant with my spunk!”

“No!” You jab an elbow into his slender ribs.

He’s much stronger than he appears, especially once he gathers the scrunched ball of your bound wrists in his palm, tugging your arms into the air to keep them neatly tucked away while he pounds. Rutting his wild, wiry pubic hair into the perky nub of your hooded clit, rattling your bones in the process.

“I’m sorry mommy, I’m sorry mommy, I’m sorry!”

The wet spew of apologies from his torrid lips do little in the way of distracting you from the hot flood of semen being poured into your womb, continuous humps and thumps dragging the thick spill out from his puckered slit only to slosh back into the tunnel of your tiny, gooey hole.

He squeals like a pig, shivering against your swollen cunny while his big, pudgy balls empty inside your twat, pumping you full of that disgusting slime oozing from his own breeding-hole.

Once his cock softens and subsides it’s abrupt squirting, he flops, hunching over the chub of your tits to dap a kiss above your dewy forehead.

“Hah.. Love you mom.”

[grandlinedreams]

You! 🫵 You have an excellent way of weaving words, it leaves my heart in a kerfuffle! (no better way to describe it otherwise xD)

If your inbox isn’t already exploding, would you be up for a little fluff scenario with good ol‘ Law?

Trope: „Can we keep him? Pleeease?“ - Reader found a snow leopard baby . . 🥹 (If you know you know)

I let you channel your inner Law, I‘m curious how you‘d set the scene :3

Hope it ain’t too dull of a trope - thank you ~!

OUGH I'M HONORED 🥺 he really does just bounce around in my head like a lil dvd screensaver but also PLEASE that little baby 🥺🥺🥺

[Heads up!: fluff, Law is a sucker for puppy dog eyes we all know, Bepo is an accomplice]

It's cold.

Dangerously so, the wind making it difficult to keep on your course ㅡ how you're supposed to see anything in the vast tundra of blinding white is beyond you, but you press on.

You have to.

You tug at the fur-lined rim of your parka hood, trying to tug it over the rapidly numbed quality of your lips and nose. You'll be fine, you know that ㅡ the others can't be far from here.

Longing for the warmth of indoors and needing to tell Law what you'd seen in your scout ahead (a whole lot of nothing, unfortunately), you hurry your pace, only to halt at a faint, muffled cry.

Was someone else out here? You still, eyes narrowing as you strain to hear above the whistle of wind.

It takes a minute to hear it again ㅡ raspy and high, like the cry of a child. Your heart sinks as you turn to search for the source. You know Law will scold you if he finds out, much less if it's a trap of some sort ㅡ but the likelyhood of an enemy is low, and you can't just leave a child out here to freeze.

It takes several minutes of searching and stopping to pinpoint the cry before you find the source, and you stare with wide eyes.

No way...

ㅡ

"Cocoa, Captain?"

Law looks over as Bepo places the mug of steaming hot chocolate down beside him, watching tiny marshmallows bob in it before his attention shifts back to the door of the little cabin they've commandeered as a base of sorts.

"[Name] should've been back by now." You'd gone out to scout ahead, take not of any potential enemy activity ㅡ but you've been gone for a while now. And though Law is concerned, he masks it with the rise of irritation.

As if summoned, there's the darkening of the window set into the front door and he tenses for a second before you step in, quick to shut the door behind you.

"[Name]!"

"Hey guys," you greet. "Sorry I'm late, I got a little sidetracked."

Your cheeks are flush with the contrast of cold to warm, as is the tip of your nose ㅡ but from what Law can see, you're unharmed. Good.

"Anything to report?" He asks and you glance over.

"Huh? No, no signs of enemy activity." There's something you aren't telling him, that much he can tell.

"Are you bleeding?" It's Shachi's question that snaps Law's attention back to your coat, spotting the smear of red that he'd missed on his first once-over.

"Oh," you say as Law stands, intending to assess whatever damage has been done, demand to know what actually happened ㅡ only to halt as you reach for the zipper of your parka. "No, it's this little guy's."

You tug the zipper down, and a rounded, fluffy head wiggles free. Wide, wet looking blue eyes blink at them before a mouth opens to reveal tiny, razor sharp teeth as the creature offers a raspy sounding mew.

"Is...that a snow leopard?"

Several eyes snap to Law for a moment, the familiar speckle of his cap ㅡ and then back to the cub you have cradled in your coat.

"He's been injured," you say as you shuck your coat entirely in favor of cradling the cub to you. It's far bigger than a kitten, but broad paws still curl against you. "I couldn't just leave him out there..."

"[Name]." Law's eyes narrow. "A word, please." He turns to retreat down the hall to one of the other rooms, listening to your footsteps in tow. He waits until you've shut the door behind you before he turns to you. "Explain."

"I scouted as far ahead as I could given the current environment and found nothing out of the ordinary. If there's really something going on here, it's higher up the mountain." Your tone is calm and cool, professional ㅡ and he sighs.

"I meant the cub, [name]."

Your expression crumples as you look down at the leopard cub, and Law notices the ragged cut in its side, fur wet with blood. "I couldn't just leave him out there, Law. He'd die."

"He's a wild animal, [Name]. It's the way nature works." He knows he sounds unnecessarily cruel ㅡ and there's the squeeze of his heart when you frown and cradle the cub tighter to you.

"That doesn't mean I have to let it happen." Your fingers curl into soft fur, stroking gently. "I know he's a wild animal, but I want to help. Can't we keep him? Just until he gets better?"

You look up at him, and Law tenses. There's a shine to your eyes ㅡ he's never seen you cry, and you're about to over a damn cat? No, he knows this tactic. He knows exactly what you're doing.

Damn Bepo for teaching you his weakness to puppy eyes.

His teeth grit, muscle in his brow twitching as you continue to stare, silently pleading. All you're missing is the jut of your lower lip, and he jerks his head, scowling.

"Fine. But he's your responsibility. Now stop looking at me like that, damn it!"

You smile, pleased as you adjust your hold on the leopard cub and step towards him, leaning to brush your lips against his cheek in a soft kiss. "You're cute when you're grumpy, Law."

And then you're gone, hurrying off to gather what you need to treat the cub and leaving Law to process the warmth of your lips on his cheek. "What a pain," he grumbles, but there's a faint upward quirk to his lips.

This Week In BL - These Are the Days of Our BLs

Aug 2023 Wk 2

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

Laws of Attraction (Sat iQIYI) 5 of 8 - They cute making heart eyes at each other, but could we get back to punching & slutty silk shirts? OMG the poor rich kid & the bodyguard who wants to hug him SO BAD are KILLING me. I did giggle & yell “punchy punchies” during the fight scene before the fire. But Charn is a diamond-encrusted evil-gorgeous gremlin beastie, isn’t he? 

Only Friends (Sat YT) ep 1 of 10 - NO SINGING, but also.. wristbands! Sand is great = smart, snappy & over this shit. (Tired Gay 2.0) Neo & Mark are a revelation, where’d that chemistry come from? Force playing a douchenozzle is damn delight. Plus a counter lift in the first ep? Boys, you’re spoiling me. Mew is the least interesting, but Book is still adorable. Ray is the least likable character, but since it’s Khao, he’s the most likable screen presence. In fact, I’m enjoying all the messy messy gays & I know all their types IRL. I wish we had some femme & swish rep tho. Is this Thailand’s Queer as Folk? Seems like. Is it good? Not sure. But it is FUN as hell. Still, I gotta say it… they all dance like straight boys. 

Hidden Agenda that isn’t hidden (Sun GMMTV YouTube) ep 5 of 10 - Zo just wants to turtle & avoid but Joke is not gonna allow that. GMMTV keeps having sub issues (usually fixed within a few days). 

Low Frequency (Sat iQIYI) ep 6 of 8 - I do like the psychic gay detective trope. It makes this show more interesting and enjoyable. But they solved the mystery awful fast. I guess different drama spins the final 2 eps? 

Be My Favorite (Fri YouTube) ep 12fin - It was fine. I was fine with it. A kind of Vice Versa situation. The usual with Jittirain, as it turns out, is pretty simple: one of her main characters is going to be a manipulative liar or extremely unlikeable or both. It got an 8/10 from me, but probably should get a 7/10 just because I’m so exhausted by this. But I have to be fair and judge each BL on its own & not in light of repeat author mistakes. Not much of a trash watch here. Final full review here. 

Dinosaur Love (Sun iQIYI) ep 7 of 10 eps - Boyfriend trip together. Terrible overalls. What the fuck? No. Meanwhile, perfect choice for college star. (Could Ton please lead out a new BL? I know I’m 0 for 2 with him but I’m willing to try again if he is.) I actually enjoyed this installment for a change. Perhaps “enjoy” is too strong a word. Not much happened, dog days of BL, perhaps that’s a good thing with Dino? 

Be Mine Super Star (Mon Viki) ep 6 of 12 - Mostly I was excited to watch this week because of Ben but there wasn’t much of him. Sadness. OK, I know it has STIFF competition but does this show have the worst music in BL, or is it just me? I still like Big Daddy & Hot Doc as characters but I am despairing over their arc (would we call it an arc?). All in all this week... Whatever.

Wedding Plan (Weds YT & iQIYI) ep 4 of 7 - I am officially being driven to drink. Trash watch is happening!

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Jun & Jun (Korea Thurs Viki) 4 of 8 - This show makes me laugh so much. It is so damn cute. And there’s so much language play going on. THEN . . . JUST ADD SIMON. I love a good Simon. Who doesn’t love a good Simon? I know SO MANY Simons. Now 3 boys are circling the ingénue (who I suspect is less innocent than he appears). So much delightful competition, postering & flirting. “My Jun,” is he, Simon? You are a precious angular stalk man, aren’t you? Pacing is great with this show. Every week I can’t wait for the next installment, that’s a hallmark of the best KBLs. If the language stuff confused you as much as it did me here is an EXCELLENT post on the subject that will help. 

Stay By My Side (Taiwan Fri Gaga) 7 of 10 eps - Sweetest seme. He’s hurt & mad at his boy but still can’t help taking care of him. I do like the courting with snacks & sweet little notes. (It’d work on me.) YAY!  Reunion kisses & nuzzles!!! Snuggling!!!! Gah! Taiwan, I love you. These 2 aren’t your best kissers but their cuddling is off the charts. I guess we are just gonna be plotless messy gay bfs for the final 3 eps? That’s cool with me. 

Sing My Crush (Korea Weds iQIYI) 3-4 of 8 eps - it’s adorable, they’re adorable, I’m enjoying it a whole lot. It’s like a very soft, low-stakes Addicted. 

Love Class Season 2 (Korea Fri Viki) 10 eps - I liked Love Class 1 (more than most on Tumblr) & I normally don’t want 2nd seasons. But this has an entirely new cast (in the “Replay” model). I’m fine with a 2nd season that has little or nothing to do with the first. J-min is an interesting choice of idols but he’s doing an unexpectedly good job. (He is a truly great rapper, by the way.) Trigger warnings out the gate... also this is complicated. Ready? We got 3 queer besties: artist gay Hyun (J-min), shy cafe gay Minwoo (in love with), sunshine gym bunny bi slut Maru (represent, my brother). Then we got Mr Put-upon-TA (+ boy who saw him nekid). And the twist = all black otaku Kim An (used to tutor artist gay in high school = exes ghosting DRAMA). This last reads as a hyung romance. Which you know I love. But it also feels v dark. All of which is to say, I am intrigued but a little nervous over the tone. 

My Personal Weatherman AKA Taikan Yoho (Japan Sat Gaga) ep 1 of 8 - Classic JBL is back! This one is My Beautiful Man + Tokyo in April/Oh My Assistant. It’s odd and warped af but I like it. Very much has a the feel of old live action yaoi + VERY D/s. BRING IT JAPAN.

Minato's Laundromat Season 2 AKA Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2 (Japan Thu Gaga) 6 of 12 eps - Shin is my sweet bean sprout and Minato should just boink him. Why all this waffling? I love the doctor. But mostly I’m as frustrated with this show as Shin must be in general. Minato 2- the season of blue balls.

Stay Still (Hong Kong Tues YouTube) 2 of 5 eps - I re-watched the first 2 eps & now find it a bit more comprehensible (yes 2: there is an ep 0). I don’t think we can expect this to end happy for either couple. It’s kinda sticky & grungy (in a way I’ve come to expect from the Philippines, although this is not as cluttered visually nor as brightly colored as the Pinoy stuff). I do kind of like that lived-in feeling, it reminds me of Taiwanese shorts. There is something very honestly queer about the primary leads (tattoo & babyface) in particular the way they dance queer? around each other: verbally, emotionally & physically - laying down breadcrumbs of gay for the other to follow. The secondary couple (reunion, cheating) is very sad. Although I do love a counter lift make-out sesh. (Occasionally Cantonese sounds like Vietnamese to me. Apparently I am not alone in this.)

Gossip - AKA P’ABL is Disappointed

I was gonna put a statement here but I just did it separately, earlier this week, since my ask box was overflowing regarding actor gossip and other stuff. 

Meanwhile, Stay With Me ended exactly as expected. Can’t say I didn’t warn ya. You watched this anyway? You got what was coming to you. I am entirely unsympathetic. 

 Next Week Looks Like This:

Look at that PACKED week. NIIICEEEE. 

Starting:

8/18 Dangerous Romance (Thai Fri GMMTC YT) 12 eps - Perth returns to lead out a BL, odds on that ever happening were slim. (Let alone Chimon.) Still here we are. Interesting times. Chimon plays a poor studious kid who hates the school bully but is forced to become his private tutor. Lurv results. 

8/19 Love in Translation (Thai Sat One31) 10 eps - Two strangers start working in a cafe together. Looks very pulp. No idea on international distribution. 

8/19 I Feel You Linger in the Air (Thai Sat Gaga) 12 eps - The time travel historical romance many of us have been waiting for. Adaption of y-novel by Violet Rain. Heartbroken architect is transported to the 1930s. From the producers of Lovely Writer.

8/20 My Universe series (Thai Sun iQIYI) 24 eps - This is sampler pack BL, 12 pairs, each pair gets 2 eps, not sure on the order they’ll drop. Known couples include EarthBank from Destiny Seeker and KaownahTurbo from Love Stage!!!, fresh faces otherwise. Jane to direct.

Still Coming in August 2023

8/22 Kisseki: Dear to Me formerly known as Miracle (Taiwan Tues ????) 13 eps - From screenwriter Lin Pei Yu (We Best Love, H3: Trapped) features a student doctor forced to take care of a gangster. I love the premise and like the writer, Viki or Gaga will get this one.  

8/23 Why R U? (Korean remake iQIYI) is supposed to be out this month, filming started in sept 22. I find everything about this hilarious. I mean if Korea remakes it, we lose all the sexy and then... would we have a story at all? No we would not. Not even for six short eps. It’d be like one of those mesh shopping bags.

8/24 Man Suang (Thailand movie, domestic cinema release) - historical drama about Thai burlesque with KP’s MileApo. 

2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED)

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

Talking grandkids. Made me snicker. (Low Frequency.)

The waist grab that launched a thousand gifs (Laws of Attraction). Okay it was last week but I gotta chronicle it here in the weeklies. For science. 

Sing My Crush. They are so damn cute. 

Thank you for the counter action GMMTV, please Sirs, may I have another?

Captain snark in the house. Of course they handed the best and most complex pairing to these two. Well done GMMTV. (Only Friends) 

I really did not expect J-Min to be this good. (Love Class 2) 

(Last week) 

[shortpplfedup]

Only Friends Character Rankings Episode 12

And that's all she wrote friends! And how she wrote it was...weird? The show definitely pulled some punches at the end there, trying to thread a needle and ending instead in a kind of wishy-washy damp squib. The couples landed up right, but in the wrong way? Guu mai chorp. But these hoes still need their final sorting. Nick led the pack going into the finale, will he end up on top at the end? Only the mains this week in my final rankings, but first...

⭐A1. FUCKIN' MIX!

Then…can I be your friend too?

I'm sorry I can't hear y'all over my screams at the MESS Minx Mix looks set to cause. That man is too pretty to be allowed in public. I WANT IT JOJO, I WANT IT NOW!

🔻🔻🔻Z∞. Boeing (8)

I just happen to want something strong tonight.

In the end, Boeing is just a lonelyboy like all the rest of them, which is fine, but he also just...disappears after the Ray/Mew Voltron vanquishes him and he gets a consolation makeout from Boston, which is not. Anyway, Mond is a good actor, also he's hot and got to kiss a bunch of boys, so winning.

Top tier show sidepieces: Yo, Plug, Summer, Freddie Mercury 2, Sand's Mom, Ray's Dad, Daddy Dan, April, Mew's Moms (barely)

These characters were mostly on the side of the angels, and I thank them for their service.

Bottom bitches: Cheum, Atom, Gap

Yeah they apologised, but fuck em.

Onto our main six!

🔺1. Boston (2)

I'm friendless.

In the end, Boston's at the top of my mains pile, because MY MANS DESERVED BETTER. Not in terms of Nick, I think that actually ended the absolute best way: Boston made his case, Nick made his decision, and they parted more or less as friends (and I loved absolutely every conversation those two had in this episode). No I mean in terms of his shitty friends, especially MEW. Cheum at least apologised, even if perfunctorily, and he apologised for sleeping with Atom (yeah, he really shouldn't have done that). He and Ray let the water wash under their particular bridge, and seem set to be cool. They never really had much in the way of beef to be fair. But Mew...actually you know what, good. Some people you don't need to be friends with, especially people who are gonna judge you and try to make you feel shitty about yourself. The narrative leaves Boston literally alone at the end though, legit the last time we see him is sitting on the curb with tears in his eyes as Nick walks away. Thanks, I hate it. I hope New York is better to Boston, and I hope he continues to learn and grow and tackle those impulse control problems.

🔻2. Nick (1)

You should go back to living a fun and sassy life that you prefer instead of trying to please a daydreaming guy like me.

YOU COULD HAVE ACCEPTED THE GODDAMN PHOTO NICKYBOY. I mean I get why not, but justice for my mans. Anyway, Nick's legit my second fave main here, as he grapples with the in-your-face realities of Boston's separation of love and sex, and decides he can't handle it. And that's good, that he loves Boston enough not to judge him, and loves himself enough not to put himself through something he knows he doesn't want. Every single choice and every conversation these two have had since Nick apologised has been nothing less than stellar, and that's because Nick took accountability and chose honesty. Well done baby boy.

🔺3. Sand (5)

You're right. When I love someone, I become a dog. But at least my owner loves me.

Pathetic to the very end, consistency thy name is Sand. He could have at least thrown his bussy into that threesome, but nooooooo, he got jealous IN TWO DIRECTIONS AT ONCE 🤣. He's fine with both boys slangin the dick his way, but calls a halt when they leave him out? Sir that's when you stand back and admire. Sand's pick-me ass ain't never gonna be my absolute fave, but his self-awareness and humiliation kink work together to be kind of endearing in a guileless sort of way, and at least he's learned to take the money if he's going to accept the ownership. It's sweet in a weird kink way. Also, his and Nick's loser friendship pushes him several points higher up the scale. There's growth and acceptance there, and he's 21 so I'll let him have it.

🔺4. Ray (7)

You still love him so I dragged him here for you. But I wanted to join just a little.

Well when he's not drunk night and day Ray's still a rich asshole, but he's a ton more fun. I love that he knows the kids at community service don't like him🤣. I spot rehab therapy working on him a bit. That threesome set up was WILD, and I personally had a good time with it, but it's probably best that it led to talking rather than fucking. Ray's got a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way to go, but at least he treats Boston like a human being (I AM SO BITTER AND I'M NOT GETTING OVER IT). He's never gonna clock Mew's shittiness (BITTERNESS ACCELERATING) but you win some, you lose some. By the way sir, don't listen to Sand, he absolutely will be your sugar baby if you beg a little.

🔻5. Top (4)

Because I have you, everything is fine.

Top's smugness was the single most genuine thing about him, so I actually quite enjoyed watching him be a smug motherfucker this ep as he gets everything he thinks he wants. You know what I enjoyed more though? Watching his soul leave his body when Minx!Mix walked into the hostel and laser-targeted Mew. Mew putting Top through hell is legit my favourite flavour of their weird little fucked up relationship, and I'm sorry I won't get to see Mew eventually fall for Mix (you KNOW he wants to top somebody, YOU KNOW IT) and Top cry about it while he screws a bellboy in a service closet.

🔹6. Mew (6)

Are you about to say "But you're my last, Mew"? If so, I'm going to go puke in the bathroom.

OK, that line was funny, but jeez what a prig. What a sanctimonious nag. What a judgy little hypocrite. In his own conception he 'won' but Mew's the biggest loser in my heart. No he didn't have to forgive Boston, but come on, he could've kept it cute OR kept it moving full speed instead of the fake nicey nicey only to stick the knife in after. It's good that he walks away from Boston in the end, because with friends like Mew you don't need enemies. He makes Ray worse. And he and Cheum form the feedback loop from hell. Bookie sold the fuck out of this character, I have nothing but praise for him, but Mew is the living worst. I won't mention the character he reminds me most of in all of fiction, but if you're a certain age and you think about it a little, you can probably guess.

[voidandabyssal]

Hi, it's me again! Could I please request the UT and US Bros with a neko s/o that can also shift into a cat? And does like, cat things such as wanting pets, getting in their lap, and mewing like a cat. Bonus points if they also have an adorable kitten sneeze lol

Let’s dive right in!

Sans:

Loves the kitty form

Nothing like you, your partner, and the nice hot sun to soak in

Honestly papyrus will probably always find you two napping together

He also loves petting you

Sans loves soft things, like your fur or your fluffy little kitty ears!!

He almost has to hold back on begging you to cuddle him in your cat form

Papyrus:

Bro probably thinks it’s a totally normal human thing to do

“Hm, yes, my human S/O has cat ears and the ability to turn into an animal. Yes that totally seems like a normal human thing to do”

Jokes aside, he loves giving you pets

He didn’t think he would. He’s never really pet anything before (except for the occasional royal guard dog) but he does

You might actually convince him to take a nap if you settle in his lap, purring

MIGHT is the key word though,

He’s still an energetic man!

Blue (US sans):

When you first meet Blue is definitely curious about you

He’s never seen a human with cat ears before! He actually runs up to you and starts asking questions

That’s your little meet cute

Anyways, he loves your fur,

He especially loves brushing it

He finds it so relaxing to comb through your cat fur, keeping it nice and shiny and free from dirt.

He loves your purring as well

Nothing better than after a long day of work getting to lay your head on your partners chest and listen to them purr😩

Stretch (US papyrus):

He notes your odd appearance but doesn’t care enough to ask

He figures he can just find out from the internet anyhow

He secretly bought a red laser pen and when he’s bored he shines it near you

Stretch can’t help but cackle as you tackle Blue trying to get that damn red dot

He’s like sans, in where they both love to snuggle you

Stretch will just pick you up, yes even in your human form, and drag you to wherever he wants to cuddle. Usually the bed or couch

Stretch is also just a little curious on how cat like you are in your animal form

Do you like cat food? Will you knock over a glass of water? Will catnip get you high (it definitely does)

He goes a little mad scientist trying to get these answers

[ltstrikesback]

The only friends meta is certainly lots of fun, but I do think it’s good to take a step back and just enjoy the show. For a while a bunch of us fully thought someone was going to die or be murdered and Jojo had to tell us to relax.

So in the name of taking a step back and having fun here are my highlights in no particular order:

SANDTOP (this was so fucking funny and hot for no reason. Sand pushing Top?? Hello???)

SANDBOEINGRAY (god bless the writers)

Mew and Top fucking against a bookshelf (personal victory)

One (1) AprilChuem kiss

Boeing’s hands on Boston’s face lol

Sand affirming the metaphor that if he is a dog, Ray is his owner????

Mew and Ray communicating about Boeing. “Do tell” took me out lolol

Nick being cute on rollerblades

Fucking Mix taking a day off from veterinary school to bless us with a cameo!!!!!

[faeriefrolic]

[sphylor]

its storming so the ghouls all decide to drink hot cocoa and make a cuddle pile >:)

(i swear i haven't forgotten about these prompts) anyway 964 words of Sunny, kitty Dew and puppy Mountain under the cut because Brainrot (i have not proofread it so if you see any mistakes shhhhhh no you dont.)

"Aww hey, puppy. Watcha doin' under here?" Sunshine cooed softly. She had been walking past and heard a high pitched whine come from under the kitchen table. She crouched down to peer under there and found Mountain curled up under a blanket, shaking and making hurt little sounds. He poked his head out from underneath and looked up at her with sad eyes that made her heart crack in two. “Is it the storm outside?” she asked and he nodded, his bottom lip trembling slightly as tears threatened to spill down his cheeks. 

The Abbey had woken up to dark grey skies, clouds hanging like bruises in the air, threatening to flood the earth below. And that they did. At around midday, the first rumble of thunder could be heard overhead, and from there the heavens opened. It was so dark and there was so much rain that the lake wasn’t even visible when looking out the windows. Rain had pouted when he was told he wasn’t allowed to go outside in it, but as lightning flashed across the sky he no longer looked eager to go out there. It was approaching evening now and the storm still raged on. Now that Sunny thought about it she hadn’t seen Mountain since that first crack of thunder. But he wasn’t the only one who had been missing all day…

A faint little meow came from under the blanket and after some rustling Dew also popped his head out. He held little mousey in his mouth and when he meowed again it came out muffled. “I didn’t know you were here too, kitty.” Sunny reached out her hands and gently stroked through the two ghoul’s hair, scratching the spots she knew they both liked. They both stopped trembling as much and started to relax. Their eyes were still wide with fear, though, and Sunshine knew it would take some time to calm them down from this. “The storm’s pretty loud, huh? You both came here to try and hide?” More nodding and a little mew from Dew answered her questions. “You’re both completely safe. The storm is out there. Nothin’ can getcha in he-” she was cut off by another loud peal of thunder and Mountain and Dew both retreated back under the blanket with a yelp and a hiss respectively. 

Sunshine tried to coax them back out but they wouldn’t budge. She sat back and thought for a moment on what would be the best thing to do. She couldn’t just leave them there, shaking and scared, but she couldn’t say she wasn’t feeling a bit out of her depth here. She wasn’t either of their primary caregivers for when they regressed and wasn’t entirely sure how to calm them down. “I’m gonna go get Rain and Aeth for you guys, okay? Just stay here.” As she went to stand, though, Mountain’s arm reached out from under the blanket and grabbed her leg. He stuck his head out again slowly and shook it. “You want me to stay?” she asked and Mountain’s ears perked forward from where they had been pinned back against his head. Sunshine smiled, “Of course I can stay.” 

She scooted closer so that all three of them were now under the table and Mountain put his head in her lap, looking up at her with his puppy dog eyes. Sunny got the message and began scratching behind his ear, causing his tail to start wagging underneath the blanket. Dew also emerged from hiding and cuddled into her side, resting his head on her shoulder and starting to quietly purr. She spoke softly to the two of them, keeping their minds distracted from the storm so that they wouldn’t notice each roll of thunder or flash of lightning. And they stayed this way until the other ghouls entered the kitchen. 

As soon as Mountain picked up on Aether’s scent he bounded out from under the table and wrapped him up in a big hug, giving his face a big lick, a dopey grin on his face. “Woah, someone’s a happy puppy! Has Sunny been looking after you?” Aether chuckled and Mountain let out a little “aroo”. 

Rain crouched down under the table and as soon Dew saw him he went over and headbutted his shoulder in greeting. The water ghoul sat next to Sunshine and let Dew crawl into his lap and start rubbing his cheek against the fabric of Rain’s shirt, meowing “Mousey” through a mouthful of his favourite toy. “Yes, I’m here now, Dewy. I’ve got you.” Rain whispered into his hair as he pressed kisses to his forehead. He then turned to Sunshine and kissed her on the cheek. “Thanks for watching him, sunshower.” 

After that Aether cooked dinner (a nice warm stew for a stormy day) and by the time it was finished Dew and Mountain had both relaxed enough to come out of their respective regressions. The storm outside was long forgotten as they ate their stew and talked and laughed around the dinner table. And when they had all finished they traipsed back into the living room and pulled the throwovers and blankets from the sofas, along with the pillows and cushions, and got cosy on the floor whilst Cirrus brought through steaming mugs of hot chocolate for them all. 

Sunshine was the thirst to yawn and was soon followed by everyone else as they put their empty mugs to one side and flopped down to sleep. Dew and Mountain both moved over to her and led down on either side of her, Mountain resting his head on top of Sunny’s while Dew tucked his own under her chin. 

“Thank you.” They both whispered as the now gentle sound of rainfall outside lulled them into sleep.

Hello this is a brief tirade for myself regarding Netflixvania, so if you don’t want to hear anything negative about this adaptation then very sincerely, please move on and keep your peace.

I will not be holding back. And if you go in after the fact and take issue, this was your decision and I will not be responding to you.

--

Already from Season 2 I had this weird lingering suspicion that the writers have a thing for Alucard, like I’ve told a friend before that it felt like an Alucard-Only run. And sure, the guy is cool, everyone and their mothers love him I get it. But he doesn’t get that grand chance to shine until several hundreds of years later.

Perhaps it’s my own bias towards the Belmonts, but Trevor was done Dirty. Alucard gets all his cool tricks, and all Trevor got to do was pull out a sword after Drac got stabbed by ~You Guessed It~.

And assuming these leaks are true, as I’ve been trying to avoid them like the plague, my suspicions couldn’t be any more confirmed.

I am all for having your own takes or adaptations, but if you’re getting(?) permission from the source material themselves to make something that large of a scale and do it that poorly of justice... You should have stuck to fan fiction like the rest of us.

If you didn’t give that much of a shite for the Belmont Clan, hell if you really hate them that much, why didn’t you just go straight for Symphony of the Night since you wanna ride Alucard so badly. You could’ve already written Richter as such a horrible guy at that point, easy writing points for you.

I’ve actually been approached more than once with things relating to this adaptation by people knowing I love Castlevania, but don’t know that I dislike Netflixvania. That is on my fault for not being clear in order to avoid conflict, but how much clearer can I make this? I can’t look at it. It makes me want to vomit.

That Alucard, makes me want to vomit. Who are you?

I’ve given this show many chances. Like many. I PAID for the last two seasons since I normally don’t even use Netflix. But now I know that I really can’t trust them to do anyone right, let alone a Belmont.

So you can pry Juste from my cold, heartless hands.

And heaven forbid if I have to see that heinous picture of Richter again, I will need to knock myself out to forget about it entirely. I’m usually good at weaving my way around things but now I gotta get better (he was the only one I saw by accident, for better or worse).

I am just not ready for more people to write him all stupid-ugly. Again.

If we’re going with indulgences today and Ravenpaw content.

Prompt: FireRaven + “Sorry I got blood on your nose” “You just took on four cats by yourself and that’s what you’re concerned about?” “Well, I can’t compare to legendary adder killer”

JASPER I'M SO SORRY I TOOK FOREVER ON THIS!

I've owed you this for 2 months and a half, but I just haven't been able to get my groove back writing-wise in so long. Hopefully the calm-wrimo ficlets can help combat that.

(If anyone wants to get a ficlet ~500 words I'm aiming to do one daily for all of November. Please do check my guidelines here but other than that submit as many as you'd like. I still got plenty of spots open.)

Let me offer thee:

It was over as fast as it’d begun. The sudden silence as the raiding party retreated left only a faint lingering ring in Ravenpaw’s ears. Gradually, as the adrenaline coursing through his veins diluted into his bloodstream, it dissipated, letting the sensations of the forest come back to him. The booming beats of his heart were first. Then came his labored breaths. Every spiked hair along his back began to fall into position and his raised hackles began to feel uncomfortable to maintain.

“Sorry I got blood on your nose,” came Firepaw’s mew, from his side.

Ravenpaw startled, only now noticing the red stream that was running down the side of his muzzle. “You just took on four cats by yourself and that’s what you’re concerned about?” he asked. It came a little forceful out his muzzle, but he’d be lying if he said he didn’t feel a warm glow rising at his friend’s concern. A feeling that mixed with a certain amount of bafflement.

“Oh that?” Firepaw mewed. “Well, I can’t compare to a legendary adder killer.”

Ravenpaw gave a little gulp at that and tried to act nonchalant by licking off the bloodstain. “...I, well, I suppose...” He spluttered a few more meaningless sounds as he thought of what to say in response. It’d been no big deal, really, just a dumb risk that’d paid off. But for Firepaw to compliment someone so foolish, so reckless, so utterly--

“Here,” Firepaw said with a helpful lick that snapped Ravenpaw back from the realm of his thoughts to the forest. Coming closer, Firepaw fixed his paws around Ravenpaw’s neck and continued washing Ravenpaw’s face.

A purr rumbled in the jett-black apprentice’s throat as he relaxed. Let others around them buzz with worry, taking headcounts of the cats currently present and making plans already for their rebuilt defenses. After the single-minded rush of battle Ravenpaw only wanted to bask in this much more pleasant sensation that enveloped him.

Firepaw gave a chirping mew as he noticed. “There we go!” Firepaw said. “Much more like the Ravenpaw I like.”

A hot sensation spread all across Ravenpaw’s cheeks which he channeled as he began clumsily licking back at Firepaw’s own face.

“Hey! Hey!” Firepaw protested, raising his paws in mock defense as he gave out a giggle. “Ugh, you’re like a dog!”

At that Ravenpaw took offense and gave his friend a light shove backwards. “Hey! Some respect you show the ‘legendary adder killer’!”

The two of them devolved into a playfight right then and there. As they tossed and turned in the dirt the last of the tension of the battle melted straight away. Their swipes turned lazier and their dodges clumsier the more they kept at it until they both collapsed onto their backs giggling messes.

They remained there without much of a concern in them until Tigerclaw’s growl snapped them back into reality. Snapping back into his feet in an instant, Ravenpaw hung his head in shame but before he had any time to lecture his apprentice a booming voice rippled across camp.

“Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the highrock for a Clan meeting!” Bluestar called.

Suddenly at attention the whole Clan gathered and Ravenpaw looked on to his denmate who bounded off with great enthusiasm to be given his next task with which to serve ThunderClan.

Only Friends Music Ep1 (2/2)

Part one covers the first half of ep1, Or you can find links on pinned comment. It is going to be a series of posts taking a closer look at the music of only friends. Reminder, Playing with the music is like body language, it moves with the conversation. Verbal says something either through lyrics or something like a song title.

warning, this is long, but a lot of it is lyrics/music player

Ep1[3/4]

Song: Keep on talking Lionel Quick Scene: Ray wakes up in Sand's apartment in the Poor Boy shirt Type: Playful and verbal

Song starts when Ray asks if they did it, and is also an example of Playing with the music. It’s not obvious, but it is cut so that we get different parts of the song highlighting certain beats in the scene. For example, in the show, 1:22-1:27 is the first 5 seconds of the song. Then it cuts to 0:28 in the song to get the keyboard for “So you got me drunk?” And the riff where Ray touches Sand’s face, saying “You’re pretty hot” is the same riff at 0:47 in the song. 

Here are the lyrics, which are not in the show,

I know, yeah I just met you But you look, oh girl you blow my mind I know, what I would like to do but, We just keep on talking I see your dog needs walking,  Aha your folk drive you insane I know yeah that's true Of course you ain't the one to blame Keep on talking to me You keep on telling me your dreams You keep on talking to me But I just wanna see you move Yeah I just wanna see you move I just wanna see you move Yeah I just wanna see you move (Wanna see you move) Sure I like to listen, it's not like I don't wanna know, It's just that you've been talking, to me three nights in a row,  I think it's time to let go, forget the past just lose control, 'Cause life's too short for yapping, come on and dance, come give me some You keep on talking to me, you keep on talking to me You keep on talking to me, you keep on talking You keep on talking to me You keep on telling me your dreams You keep on talking to me, you keep on talking But I just wanna see you move (I just wanna see you)

And so we continue the talking trend, which will continue to be a theme, for episodes to come. Communication, listening, wanting to hear. This time, this seems to be from Ray’s point of view, seeing Sand for the first time. As opposed to Sand’s song “I am next to you” while Ray was drunk. Sand’s song wanted to help, to protect, to be seen. This song is more Ray wanting to be with Sand. “'Cause life's too short for yapping, come on and dance, come give me some” 

Themes: talking/communication, lust

Song: Lonely Party Arc De Soleil Scene: Top and Mew at the bookstore Type: verbal/background music

Mew was talking about his ability to know who is honest with him, his ability to sense people. And Lonely Party starts after Top asks “What about me?” 

There are no lyrics in the show but here we go:

It’s true I just can’t deny  It’s time for me to straight things out  You gotta help me find a soul  One that I can call my own  And my eyes, they are looking down  When you leave me in the fire  In the fire  And even though everyone’s invited  I can’t deny, it’s a lonely party  Yah even though everyone’s invited I can’t deny, it’s a lonely party   It’s true that my time has come  It’s time to see what’s past and gone  You gotta help me find a cause  One that I can call my own  And my eyes, they are looking down  When you leave me in the fire  In the fire  And even though everyone’s invited  I can’t deny, it’s a lonely party  Yah even though everyone’s invited  I can’t deny, it’s a lonely party

Top is asking if he can be more, or if he’s just someone passing by like the other relationships in Mews life. Just like Go Quiet while they were cuddling. Top’s asking for a relationship, he might actually believe he can do it with Mew. If he’s lonely, even though he’s with people all the time, Mew might be different, someone who can find him a cause.

This is a song I want to come back to later with more information.

Themes- Fire (hell?) loneliness, longing.

Song: Just keep talking, same as before with Ray and Sand Scene: Ray calls Mew while Mew is in the bookstore

It starts with Ray asking if he knows who Mew is with, and if it’s Top. Are they using it the same way as Ray and Sand here? Not much to say, just wanted to point out they used the same song.

Song: Lurking Tiger, same as when Nick and Boston met before. Scene: Boston goes to pick up his phone Type: Verbal

When the song starts with Boston looking at his phone for the picture of the receipt, lyrics start after Nick says “If there’s a problem again, drop it here anytime.” The song sets up Nick as the Hunter, with the picture and the offer as his bait.

I want to know if Nick really needed to take Boston's phone home to fix it, or did he see the picture and take the phone home. Nick put his picture on the phone, and had planned on making Boston look at it before leaving. Since when did he plan this out?

Nick wants Boston, for all the later things that happen, Nick isn’t just an innocent bystander. Not saying Boston is great either, just Nick is choosing to go after Boston here. This might have been one of the first times Nick has gotten that kind of attention, and he wants more.

4/4

Song: Bewitched by Zorro

Scene: Montage of the week with the friends and Top

Type: Verbal

Bewitched's lyrics are spliced and edited together in the show

I feel harmony Whenever you talk I see   (This line is the spliced one) One day I’m gonna be loved by you  One day I’m gonna be loved by you  Someday it’s gonna make sense to you  Yeah one day, Sunday, Wednesday  I put a spell on you  Lose your head  Go anywhere  In my bed  We’ll disappear  Know what you like  Know what you need  So lose your head  Follow me  Do you like the sound  When you’re hypnotized  Open up your eyes  Watch me hypnotize  Do you see the signs  While you’re hypnotized  I control your mind hypnotized  Cause I’m just about to start

I feel harmony, Top and Mew feel like they’re on the same wavelength, and if we go with the spliced together line, “Whenever you talk, I see, One day I'm going to be loved by you..” They’re not in love now, but they can see it. And if they continue they’ll keep hypnotizing the other into loving them. 

Not being able to hear, see or think because you’re so wrapped up into the other person. The theme of love causing blind spots is back. Which, when he says he can read people, how good is that when he’s hypnotized? Or Top, how well can he think if he’s also falling? Then the last line feels ominous. “Cause I’m just about to start….”

First part of the song so you can see the difference.

I feel harmony  Whenever you talk to me  What you see I see  Start to look real promising  Can’t change the fact that  I and you are synchronized Let me take the lead Just a little bit mm.. you’ll see  Yeah One day I’m gonna be loved by you  One day I’m gonna be loved by you  Someday it’s gonna make sense to you  Yeah one day, Sunday, Wednesday  I put a spell on you 

Themes- blinded and controlled by love/lust,

Song: Hate Me by Blood Red Sun Scene: Top and Boston in the bathroom at the bar Type: Verbal

Warning: I couldn’t find this song’s lyrics and I am struggling with some of them. I’m going to put [brackets] around words/phrases I don't know/am not sure about. 

With that said, I think it’s worth trying since I dismissed this song at first as just telling the listener to just “Hate Me”. It seems to be about people who are throwing shade or hating someone because they dress in a certain way or sleep around

Song starts as we see Top in the bathroom, Lyrics start almost right away, and come in right before Boston’s “So…” 

Hate Me Are you on your way Hate me  Are you on your way I ain't got that people pleasing gene Yeah, I want [thick skin] A crocodile with too much style So hate me, Are you calling yet? It’s ok When I [stand in] as your pet You don’t like that I do what I want

This is where the lyrics stop in the show.

At any time, I’m only mine  I shine It’s ok, It’s ok People stare at what I wear Get upset when I get laid They must trust pink [bunnies] That’s some insincere excuses  [bite/fight] me I’ll run the tracks ‘til I’m red Talk about me [You when you want it and die? Wine and dine?] [Complicated some won’t vibe] Oh she’s [kinda small] and sagging tits I heard she fucked a guy Throw shade It’s ok Oh my life is for me Gotta live for me I can’t sit here and pretend I did that way before I can’t ignore

Top has to know how everyone sees him, pretty much all everyone talks about to him or about him is how he’s hot, rich, and good in bed. Living only for him and what he wants and needs is fine, until you bring in another person into the mix, if you actually want to date them. 

Song: Spying Game by Ingrid Witt

Scene: Still in the bathroom, Boston and Top at the sink

Type: Verbal

First few base notes start as Hate me fades as we get a shot of their hands in the sink, Boston rubbing Top’s hand. Red lighting that wasn’t there before or it would have reflected off of their backs. Boston says, “You and I are the same kind, don’t get his hopes up. If you want to do him, do it and get it over with. I sympathize with my friend.” There is a beat and as Top replies, the lyrics come in. “You’re concerned about your friend, or you’re just jealous?” Their conversation continues until Top rolls his eyes and leaves, and the lyrics get louder “You just wanna dream of sin, sickness floating in our veins, Players in a spying game” Our Game theme is back. The music ends with Top tapping on the microphone on stage, about to ask Mew out.

We're both lost, out of date Bitter stargazers Pretty much similar Homeless heartbreakers I don't wanna hear your thoughts You don't wanna feel my skin Bitter stargazers You just wanna dream of sin Sickness floating in our veins Players in a spying game

This is where the song cuts off in the show.

So fancy when I'm in the spotlight I'm still enjoying my privacy A craving that is knocking you out Just trading visions for money Bigger hunger when I'm not holding you tight I am feeding your lies and you love it 'Cause the distance feeds your libido, right? I am feeding your lies and you, and you love it Yeah, it's sick and difficult But we're not ashamed Pretty damn mutual We're not sentimental No, no sentiments, no (Chorus repeats)

They're both toxic, bad for each other and at least Boston wants Top so bad. If the lyrics do apply to both, even if Top wants to be in a relationship with Mew, will he have the ability be sentimental? To stop being toxic?

Things are easy when everything feels good and there is no pressure,

It's one thing to promise And it's another to deliver

-Always Always from the Quiz night.

Song: This Is The End Of The World bye Coma Svensson Scene: Top just asked Mew out in front of everyone at the bar Type: Verbal

The name of the song, and Mew looking directly at the camera for a split second before they cut finally concreted the feeling that these songs were here helping to tell the story. 

Lyrics are not in the show:

I hear the asteroids flying by So this could be our last goodbye No time to worry anymore It may not be alright for sure This is the end of the world This is the end of the world We watch the satellites explode It must be bad news overload Then we salute eternity And pay our final bill This is the end of the world This is the end of the world You should do what is right And stay out of the fight For as long as you can This is just the beginning ‘Cause nothing ever really ends This is the end of the world This is the end of the world

Final bit of prophecy from JoJo and crew, This is just the beginning, fight the good fight for as long as you can. Things can feel like the end of the world, but the world keeps spinning. 

Some themes to watch for in the future:

Communication, being seen and heard 

Fire, destruction, things falling apart 

Lust, touch, feeling

Playing games

Begging to be loved

Heaven and Hell

I want to thank @rocketturtle4 and @shouldiusemyname for their help editing and figuring out lyrics

Only Friends Ranking - Ep 1

Will probably never liveblog this one because I'm watching with a friend (if you read this you're the best thank you for putting up with me and my crazy lol) and so we mostly talk to each other during. :D Never done that before and I have to say it's already a blast.

So now that I am slightly more coherent and not just flailing about making high pitched sounds and flapping my hands (I believe I can fly) here's how I feel about our characters and their relationshipsI re:

Characters (Most to Least Fave atm)

Sand: As expected, I adore him. He's so tough but such a marshmallow underneath, I worry because it looks like he's signing himself up to get his heard trampled, and much as I enjoy First's tears (me and all of GMMTV I think), I just hate knowing that he's gonna be going through it, haha. Sand protector indeed. Heartbreak sucks and he's gonna feel it firsthand here. I really enjoy how irritated he is 90% of the time but I am worried that Ray of all people is gonna be his bi awakening. Please BL Jesus no. Also I hope he keeps his backbone because one thing I can't stand is a character who gets spineless the second they fall in love. Also please don't make him sing anymore I adore him but a singer he is not. He really does have the look though. Impeccable vibes.

Boston: Second fave right now, also as expected. I just love his slutty, slutty ass. Love that he mixed business with pleasure to mess around with Top again and instead he has to deal with Top setting his sights on Mew. Love that he's hooking up with everyone, no wonder Neo was like "I never have any clothes on" lol. Whether or not he cares about Top as a person, he is definitely feeling some kind of way about Top not wanting a repeat of their hookup (and Top has already told him this. Boston, babe. Either you are smitten or you are just that much of a narcissistic asshole. Could go either way really). I adore him and every ridiculous bone in his body. If they want to bring in a new dude every episode for him to go at it with I would not say nay.

Chueam: I knew she'd be high up on the list because Lookjun, but I would like April to appear please. I love how encouraging she is towards the whole TopMew thing, and girl, I feel you on the "have some fun, get laid, he's hot" thing. Lesbians next ep please

Mew: First surprise for me. I adore this guy. Adore him. He knows exactly what he's worth and he's paying attention, my guys - he clocked Top pretty fast so you can't tell me he's not fully aware of both Boston's and Ray's feelings (still loathe the idea of a RayMew endgame but mostly because the Ray of it all, lol). He's pretty and quiet and doesn't like to party like his friends so everyone assumes he's this naive dumbass (and I mean everyone - I think from Top to Ray to Boston to Chueam they all see him much the same) who doesn't know what he's about, and yet he keeps showing (not telling, this is Jojo at work and I love him for it) that he really, really isn't. Top is going down, my guys. Mew is gonna wreck this man so hard that he's not going to know which way is up and I for one am here to see it go down. If he makes out with Sand a little about it I wouldn't complain (I know, but hey. I can dream).

Nick: I admire a dude who will put a thirst pic on another dude's phone as a come on. I appreciate that he knows what he wants and he's going for it, and I anticipate he's gonna go full on crazy in a way no one expects when things start to go bad with Mr. Boston, and I am fully seated and waiting with the biggest of grins on my face.

Ray: I knew he would be awful, and I am so so happy! I can't tell you how pleased I am right now - he's awful! The way he grabbed Sand's face like he was a prize dog at a show and not a person

(exhibit A)

was pitch perfect, I hate his guts (mostly affectionate). And yeah yeah deep-seated insecurities and probably daddy issues blah blah I don't care. I'm nine thousand percent positive he's only going to get worse and I am here for it. I do like that we can already see exactly how needy he is - he's going to be so needy and I fully expect him to lash out the second he feels like he's needed in return because he's so used to taking, I want to see him and Sand really go at it once Sand gets fed up with the bottomless black hole of need he clearly is (please Sand get fed up with it), especially since it's clear that the only person he's willing to give concessions to is Mew. I desperately want Sand to wreck him but well. I also highly doubt it'll happen. We'll see. I fully expect that I will hate him for real at some point (it's on my bingo card) but if anyone can drag me around to loving him in the end it's Khaotung. Hopefully there's growth in store for him, else he'll get boring very quickly.

Top: Ah, Top. SO OTT that you know he absolutely doesn't mean it. WHen he grabbed that mic I was so terrified. I can barely handle whateverthehell First was doing I can't do Force as well. Please don't put me through it I will cry. He's just...not my favorite. Yes he's a playboy and yes he's gonna say a lot of playboy things and I honestly can't wait to see Mew destroy him.

Relationships (most to least fave)

Currently, I want to know what is up with Top and Sand so badly that it is painful. I desperately want them to be bitter exes but my real guess is that Top fucked around with someone Sand cares about and he hates him good for it, while Top has no clue who Sand even is. My first guess is a relative but could just be a close friend. Sand hates him though, and I love it. I want them to angrily make out about it.

MewTop has me in a chokehold right now, completely unexpectedly. I am not a ForceBook fan - they were cute in Enchante but I had not time for ABAAB so I expected they'd be meh to me. Not so. I'm obsessed. I can't wait to see them implode and for Mew to go full crazy.

BostonNIck: Again, I just think Nick is gonna go off in a way no one expects. It's always the sweet, quiet ones (see: Mew, even though I don't actually think he's all that sweet really).

RaySand: I like their antagonistic thing but I'm really incredibly not here for Ray being Sand's first bi experience, although I think it would make sense for Sand, who is way sweeter than his tough exterior implies (compare this with Mew, who has the sweetest of exteriors but I suspect could easily cut a bitch and not even flinch), to fall head over heels for the first guy who comes along and rocks his world (and whatever else you can say about Ray - and I'm sure I at least will - I'd bet cash money he is very very good in bed). This was honestly the one I thought would have me in a chokehold in spite of myself so I'm surprised to be less invested in it than I am the other two right now. I assume once the angst really kicks in though it'll get me even though I'd rather it not, because the one thing that will always be true about me is I love angst.

Also I was today years old when I discovered that some people think that First and Khaotung have no chemistry. This bluescreened my brain for a good five seconds, lol. Send help.

In conclusion

I really liked the ep. It gave good set up and a good foundation for all the mess that we know is to come, also I lost the betting pool on who Boston was messing around with in the trailer (I hoped Ray, guessed Papang, was blindsided by Drake). I would love to chat about this with any and everyone. because I don't want to annoy my watch buddy too much and yet I am already obsessed and fear I might. I'd apologize for the person I am about to become but well, I'm not really sorry. 😊

I am also very much looking forward to the meta that is going to come out of people much smarter (and less prone to making silly jokes) than me.

Only Friends Era let's goooo!

This Week in BL - all these kisses Korea, are you feeling okay?

Entirely subjective yadda yadda. Organized sorta by favs in each category.

Sept 2023 Wk 2

Ongoing Series - Thai

I Feel You Linger in the Air (Fri grey) ep 5 of 12 - I did think the sketch was done AFTER they’d become lovers. Meanwhile, I do enjoy the creepy slipping through time moments, adds nicely to the tension. I’m sublimely uninterested in all the hets but that's normal for me. Bit of a slow episode, but I'm looking forward to next week. 

Dangerous Romance (Fri YT) ep 5 of 12 - Cohabitation trope activated. Also "lovable grandma" is a new BL archetype I can get behind. Honestly PerthChimon's dynamic is good, it’s fun to watch a Thai BL where the leads are actually both stellar actors. There’s no stilted awkwardness to their dialogue back & forth or other interactions. I also like having MarcPuwin back on my screen. NO DAMN SINGING. Finally a fun twist on the faen fatale. 

Hidden Agenda (Sun YT) ep 10 of 12 - I like that we’re seeing actual realistic consequences of coming out. Not the big parental freak out, but the small nasties of opening up as an everyday queer. This is rare in BL.  

Naughty Babe (Sat YT) ep 3 of 8 - Lap sitting, lots of kissing, one arm counter lift - thank you, boys. Stupid tiny dog (not a euphemism). Is it just me or does Max look extra pretty these days? Anygay, it’s all quite silly and I'm mildly enjoying it.  

Be Mine Super Star (Mon Viki) ep 11 of 12 - I remain enamored of Big Daddy & the Hot Doc but nothing else. 

Venus in the Sky (Tues iQIYI) 3 of 10 eps - Their history and the consequences of the confession to their friendship all seems a little sad & cruel. But also it’s just this pulp, ya know? 

(10 points to the True Geek who gets that reference.)

Only Friends (Sat YT) ep 6 of 10 - I want Mew’s moms’ story as a GL. (Not from this team, of course.) Ah even Sand can be a lying creep, best not to like anyone in this show... frankly, best just not to like this show. And ya know what, I'm pretty sure I really don't.

Could I make something clear? You can’t "steal a lover from someone." That's puerile thinking. That lover wants to go. It’s the lover’s fault (if anyone) not the one who stole that lover, no matter how much an asshole Top is. Sand’s ex is at fault, not Top. And screw Sand for thinking that way. Like his ex wasn't a whole person in their own right capable of making decisions?

My Universe (Sun iQIYI) ep 3-4 Marry Go Round of 24 eps - The premise of this is dumb. The pair is fun. They still kiss great. The actors are good. Crap story. What can you do? Don’t watch it. 5/10 

I need to rewatch Destiny Seeker now. 

Love in Translation (Sat iQIYI) ep 5 of 10 - Omg. Too stupid to live. Why am I still watching this? How many more? Ugh. 

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Why R U? (Korea Wed iQIYI) eps 7-8fin - SaifahZon (no matter what country) are probably the softest enemies to lovers ever put on screen. Yes they are very cute and I like them better than the original. However, no one can out do ZeeSaint for the count down kiss on the rooftop. All in all, I enjoyed the final 2 eps, very cute. I liked this BL a lot but I’d love to know what somebody thought who hadn’t seen the original.

Ultimately, what can I say about Why R U? Korea?

Korea decided to remake, of all possible Thai BLs, Why RU? And that is exactly what we got: a short form, clean & pretty, uneven chemistry, slightly confusing, all the same tropes KBL that kind of cliff-noted the original but with none of the heat or complex relationship dynamics. I just … what world is this? Because it is BOTH bizarro land, and EXACTLY what I expected. How do I rate something like that? In the end I have to go back to simple questions: did I like it, would I rewatch it, and would I recommend it? Yes. Probably. And probably not. What the actual hell reality? 8/10 

You Are Mine (Taiwan Fri Gaga) eps 1-2 of 10 - Office romance, broken-grumpy + innocent-sunshine. (Also cutie devil meets angel bestie hotties.) Gotta say, Taiwan is awfully good at moments of recognition. I sense some whipping boy and obsession incoming, looks good on you, Taiwan. Do I like it? Of course I like it! 

Kisseki: Dear to Me (Taiwan Tues Viki & iQIYI) ep 5 of 13(?) - Taiwan never met a trope it didn’t wanna play with. Teacher student + secret relationship, there’s only one bed but they slept together on the floor anyway... it’s a trope gum ball machine. I'm not mad, a bit confused, but who cares.

My Personal Weatherman AKA Taikan Yoho (Japan Sat Gaga) ep 5 of 8 - Uh-oh baby is sad. Yo is such a drama queen - I respect that in a boy. Also, I love it that W took it as and excuse to play Real Boyfriends. Also leaning v obsessive stalker there Japan. As expected you had to go there. Carry on, you do (and track on your creep app) you.

Minato's Laundromat Season 2 AKA Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2 (Japan Thu Gaga) ep 11 of 12 - Ugh. I kind of enjoyed seeing Minato in pain and having to work for the relationship for a change. But that’s just because I’m so frustrated with his character this season and I want him to SUFFER. Sides are cute tho. I like them better this season. 

It's Airing But...

Crazy Handsome Rich (Sun Gaga) ep 3 of 10 - I just can’t. The sound. DNF 

Bump Up Business AKA Bump Up Project (Korea movie) original cinema release was 9/15 but MDL indicates it's been moved to October so I'll shift my dates. Last status update. Love story between a trainee who is about to debut and a celebrity from the same agency (based on a webtoon). Kpop boy group OnlyOneOf signed on to star. They’ve been auditioning for this since Libido IMHO. You can watch me chronicle their BL MV series in this post. It’s from Idol Romance who will do sad but can do good kisses (Wish You, Nobleman Ryu, Once Again, Kissable Lips, Poongduck 304, Tasty Florida, Tinted With You).

In case you missed it?

What Did You Eat Yesterday? is now available on Gaga. If you enjoyed Our Dining Table, you will enjoy this. 

I did a quick analysis of 2 different acting styles based on these 2 boys here.

Boyband, I finally watched the 6 eps that are available. It aired earlier this year and was hard to find. For good reason it turns out. Yes it’s about a Thai boyband so I skipped all the singing bits. I like the actor playing Juju (Brothers). Also hi Art, are you actually ageless? Lots of other familiar faces popped up like Copter, Max, Fluke. It actually started as a solid little story (if not much of a romance). The stuff with the organizers was v boring and there were 2 het sides but the rest of it was palatable. Operative word being was. Something happened around ep 3, like they lost funding as well as distribution and it just... fizzled. No real ending, no character dev, no story resolution, just blank. It’s like it DNF’d itself. 3/10 I don’t know what I just watched and neither does it. 

Next Week Looks Like This:

Still To Come In September

9/26 I Cannot Reach You AKA I Can't Reach You AKA Kimi ni wa Todokanai (Japan ????) - Adapted from the manga, childhood best friends: The cool, smart one who’s good at everything, and his average, dorky friend who struggles. Always by the other’s side, but not together in the way they truly want to be. No matter how hard they try, their hearts cannot reach each other.

9/27 Absolute Zero (Thai iQIYI) - from 2021, Studio Wabi Sabi and New Siwaj finally bring us this “time loop to prevent tragedy” romance. We don’t always get HEAs from them, so I'm on my guard.

9/27 Bon Appetit (Korea iQIYI) - from 2022, 8 eps from GoGo Studio, romance between an office worker who lives off junk food and the man next door who cooks well.

9/? Mr Cinderella 2 (Vietnam YouTube?) - it's Vietnam so your guess is as good as mine.

2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED).

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

Just look at the PRETTY! His makeup is flawless this series. I don't know who GMMTV hired new for makeup recently, but this ain't Thai style, this genius trained at the feet of Korea's finest. You keep that bitch (hon. gender nu) around, GMMTV, ya hear? (Hidden Agenda)

Gah, I love Yai so much. He tries so hard. He's such a sweet earnest character. He's like the angel-baby opposite of Chan (devil-baby) but they both my 2023 babies. (I Feel You Linger in the Air)

You know I love it when a BL gets meta about tropes. Here's Why R U?K calling out enemies to lovers.

Kabedon!

Yes we like all the snacks, thank you Korea. Your BL is basically snack food anyway. I'm not mad about it.

SWITCHES! I love it when we get this kinda thing. (All Why R U? Korea)

It me in all horror movies and whenever a boy starts to sing in a BL. (Venus in the Sky)
