7 BL Newbie Moments of 2023 That Altered My Brain Chemistry

So I went through all my posts since the beginning of this journey and as much as I love dumping my insanity here without context or any punctuation, I feel that a lot of my fav moments deserve a bit more love and structure.

But first I need to put a bit of context so you won't be like "who the hell do they think they are" (aside from delusional I'm nothing, I promise) and my anxious overexplainer-heart is silenced.

My first BL TV show was Only Friends and only 5 months later I'm already throat deep into it (sorry). My watchlist is so endless that I sometimes (no, regularly) genuinely fear for my sanity. I'm still learning all the names and production houses but does that stop me from starting 10 other shows? NOPE.

I'm not new to queer fan spaces (avid manga reader since the yaoi days, my first ship was taito from digimon) but I am most definitely new to the brainrot levels these shows gave me.

And believe it or not, even though my shipper heart is over a decade old, I'm new to Tumblr and the fuel this platform added to the fire could burn down entire continents.

ANYWAYS if you're still here — please enjoy Noz's 100% self-indulgent moments!

1. The End And The Beginning - Only Friends

All I did was mindlessly scroll through the tumblr trends, no idea about how this website works, still sour and sad about the loss of my twitter bubble thanks to the elopocalypse—little did I know that fate would lead me to the wonderful world of BL shows! It was like this moment in isekai-esque movies where you get sucked into a world and you go WOOAAH once you arrive.

There was this show—on YouTube—100% unapolagetic about sex, relationships and queerness. Five minutes into the first episode, someone asks if they can bring their boyfriend to a hookup. This was ALL of my wildest dreams come true! Oh boy, was I naive.

I feel like Only Friends had me speedrun the whole BL industry. Branded pairs, production houses, fanservice, obsessive fans & haters, audience reactions influencing the storyline, EVERYTHING happened during Only Friends and I was just like "what the hell is going on here?" It was like the perfect case study for literally everything. Honestly I still don't really understand what's going on.

Unfortunately, this also led to the awful ending I erased from my brain and don't want to get into, I'm just gonna say Boston I will never forgive the writers for what they did to you. I dropped that show like a hot potato, filtered all possible tags and moved on — or so I thought.

I feel like I'm trying to recreate that first excitement when I discovered OF. But 20 shows later, I'm still not there. Does this make me sound like an addict? Yes, and this is why Only Friends EP 1 is my No. 1 moment that altered my brain chemistry.

2. The Boeing Incident - Only Friends

I talked about it just yesterday and I need to do it again because Boeing was the beginning of a thing that thought I'd never be capable of: lusting after real person TV characters. I talked about it in length here and here so the only thing I'm gonna add just for good measure is that I'd do anything, anything for a BostonBeoingNOZ threesome. Holy shit I'm cringing just writing this down but I need to get my point across.

3. Still Looking For That Kiss - Love in The Air

I know this is a general experience at this point but the chemistry between the couples in Love In The Air opened a whole knew world for me. I thought I knew chemistry but when I saw them, I realized I knew NOTHING.

It may sound weird but I'm still looking for that perfect kiss that's hitting all the right neurons in my brain. I have a hunch that one of these two pairs will deliver them one day, but until then I NEED to watch a million kisses for research.

This post by @talistheintrovert explains perfectly what I think about kissing in shows. Ji Chang Wook is still the blueprint for me.

But do I have a favorite BL kiss so far? Yes, yes I do. It's this ShinPeach beauty.

4. Main Lead Syndrome - Kiseki: Dear To Me

I am a second lead, side couple enby before I am human but I will defend these two until the end of time. My TL is flooded with Chen Yi, Ai Di, Nat and Louis while these two are over here falling in love over strawberry cake, cat analogies, failed cooking and all sorts of memory loss. Zongyi opened a fucking bakery for his babygirl and Zerui pretended to be a pretty dumdum to protect the love of his life.

I don't care how much you all love the two dumb (affectionately) gangsters, these two deserve the world, end of story. Also Kai Hsu and Taro Lin are bff's irl now, Taro said that Kai helped him get out of a very bad mental tate and I take that very personally.

5. The Fanservice is Fanservicing - Kiseki: Dear To Me

Speaking of Taro and Kai, the fact that I even know that they're bff's is another brainaltering moment that needs recognition because months later it led me to this TikTok of two actors I don't know of a show I don't watch, staring at them for ages and really considering watching it just because of it.

That is the power of fanservice my friends and I can put on my clownmask now because I avidly screamed left and right that fanservice should be forbidden when I learned about it. I blame Kiseki for that. But my point still stands, I hate actors doing stuff they're uncomfortable with. I just hope they're all friends and have fun and get that coin.

6. The One Just For Me - Playboyy

I've been lurking around Playboyy from the moment I found out they have the same writer as OF. And boy did it deliver so far! I already wrote a bunch here about which role Playboyy plays for me, but it's also a wonderful case study for my producer heart — watching the acting, directing, lighting, sets, props and storyline interact is fascinating.

People say the less you notice the better the show, which is correct, but I love all the flaws of this piece of media. IMHO it's the last puzzlepiece of the amazing, important social commentary the show delivers. All of the topics the couples represent need to get their very own show.

7. The Holy Grail - The Sign

Speaking of the less you notice — this is the sign for The Sign (again, sorry). There's a reason this show is loved and praised so widely because the production is on a whole other level. Adding the beautiful story on top of that, we have the potential for a holy grail here and I'm so in for the ride.

I keep saying I've entered the world of BL in it's absolute golden era. Never in a million years did I think I'd watch 5 shows simultaneosly but I love every single one of them so much I keep a whole spreadsheet on how I can be on time for every premiere every week alongside my work schedule.

Honorable mentions

KinnPorsche: VegasPete were my first dark, angsty, morally questionable couple ever (I'm a sissy okay)

Last Twilight: When I watched Extraordinary Attorney Woo, I cried several times about the wonderful media representation of disability. It means so much to me and Last Twilight is on par with that.

Bake Me Please: Thank you for giving me this beautiful kiss

Manner of Death: Thank you MaxTul for making gay makeouts fashionable

Bad Buddy: The one time I was glad I persisted so I could watch them most adorable phone scene on the planet

I Feel You Linger In The Air: It was too painful for me to finish but I loved the show with my whole heart and it deserves all the awards it got.

Kimi ni Todokanai: Japanese shows just hit different. I'll never get over the kissing Taiyaki.

The Novelist Series: THIS is how you kiss the one you're horny for my friends. Take notes directors.

Semantic Error: My fav webtoon -> Got Viki for the Series -> Found the BL corner of Viki -> Drew my attention to Tumblr -> This post.

Thank you for being the butterfly of my butterfly effect.

And thank YOU if you read until here! To a even more wonderful queer year 2024! I'm so ready for this ride.

Firefly wedding is so good 😭!!/$/$/& The MC has a lot of personality for someone who had been sheltered her entire life because of her illness and importance to her family (I wonder when she’ll grow to genuinely love instead of using the “it’s for the families sake-“ excuse.) Satoko is a really fun female lead for sure. I love her spunk and will to live and fight. She shouldn’t have to but given the kind of story it is, eh. Shinpe on the other hand… 😵‍💫❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️??? I don’t really care for yandere’s at all… I can tolerate them depending but usually, I tend to avoid those kinds of stories where they’re a main character since most of the time, they’re either annoying or rapey as hell. But Shinpe is really fun. He’s unpredictable and his feelings fluctuate sm, you can’t really tell if he’s being legit or not but he’s a yandere afterall so knowing that much, I kind of figure that he’s being deadass 😭… it will be nice to see his progress as a character as the story rolls on and if he’ll come to actually know what real love is knowing how he’d been living all this time. That’s the thing. Both of the MC’s THINK they know it but it’s all just broad, blanketed feelings of the idea and shape. They don’t get it at all because they’ve never experienced it so this is understandable. I really do love their dynamic!

[Wikiwiki Translation] What is "Cowardly Squadron Urotanda"?

Taken from: https://wikiwiki.jp/urotanda/「卑怯戦隊うろたんだー」とは？

Note: This wiki page serves as an introduction to the premise. Yes I’m aware the first bit with mentions of something called “Justice” may be a bit confusing but just for the time being until we go more into depth on them, just know they are the main antagonizing force for a majority of Urotander’s conflict

Translated text begins below the border and will be listed in bold, credit to @steddiecameraroll-graphics for the border

This story is a moving story of the battle between the self-proclaimed secret society of justice, ``Justice,'' and the justice squad, ``Hikoku Sentai Urotanda,'' which was formed to defeat ``Justice.''.

This song was originally the opening song for the fictional anime "Hikkou Sentai Urotandaa", written, composed, and sung by the original author, Shin-P.

However, it gained popularity after Shin-P had a VOCALOID sing it and it was released on Nico Nico Douga. Currently, various settings and related videos have been created, and the world is expanding more and more..

This is the original setting by ShinP, the original author, at the time of the song’s release:

“This anime is about a hero squadron called Urotander. With the spirit of the government and military(?), use all kinds of underhanded and “cowardly” tactics to defeat evil.

Completely ignoring promises, transforming and combining in the first 5 minutes and defeating the enemy without any questions asked. Their special move is like attacking from behind, and they are good at launching surprise attacks. This anime is for such a good purpose (?).”

This is a video list for those who don't know anything about Urotanda yet, but there are so many related videos that they don't know where to start…

A video has been created by volunteers that will give you an insight into the basic setting and worldview!

Rather than the original original version, we chose the new 5-person version.. 

You can often enjoy the comments here..

We had the KAITO gang sing ``Urotanda ga taosenai“. This song is told from the perspective of Justice, the secret organization that Urotanda is fighting against.

☆オーダーメイド枕☆

頚椎症には枕が重要、という話を聞いて「寝具コンシェルジュ」なる山根さんにオーダーメイド枕を作って貰いました 寝具コンシェルジュ山根新平さんブログ http://ameblo.jp/shinpe-y 何度か枕に寝てみて、「ちょっと首が苦しい感じ」「もうちょっと高さが…」と、細かいリクエストに応えてくれてMy枕が出来ました 寝具コンシェルジュというだけあって枕とマットレスとの関係も教えてくれて、アドバイスと寝心地の程よいところで調整してくれました(*^o^*) 枕が出来た初日、ウキウキと眠りにつきました。 ところが朝目覚めてビックリ ベッドに対して真横になって寝ていたのでした(枕はしっかり縦に使ってた) とりあえず山根さんに伝えてみると再び来てくださって再調整。 面倒な事でしょうに、逆に「教えてくれて助かります合わないまま使われるのは嫌ですから」と嬉しいお言葉。 という事で今では快眠です(#^.^#) 枕カバーがまだ無いのでとりあえずdoubleバスタオルで凌いでいます（笑）。

Shin Tennis no Ouji-sama U-17 World Cup Episode 5

[porthos-stew]

starm trek.. shrimp aliens..

[yueasuka]

By the way, for the information, the song "Sono ga Bokura no Justice" that will be included in MEIKO's new album Meikonic is one of the sequel of the "Hikyou Sentai Urotander" series, next is "Shinjitsu no Ken" by KAITO. You know, the Urotander isn't a goofy sentai at all it seems. Especially since MEIKO (seemed to be) died here from protecting the other rangers. Here's the English translation, provided by AkaikoVocaloid along with the original video. Sub Eng: This is ours A locked up darkness as if it was trapped in a cage of cold When letting go of that darkness, We continue looking for the answer and And sailing around a place thats unknown And a future that we have imagined is a benefit We continue thinking that day will arrive The promise that I wrote in the sand will be taken The sea will dissolve it without mercy The heart that was reflected in the blue sky now is captured by black clouds And it is dunked in the cold rain A justice without power is impotent, but is there a meaning of having power without pride? Even if everybody is an enemy, Maintaining a challenge without surrendering is difficult That is our yes, our justice The traps have made us insensible toward sadness Being catched by those traps How long we will continue believing in a miracle and do meaningless prays? We cannot be as strong as the number of tears that we wasted, although For the sake of somebody else, we try to be gentle The hope that bloomed in the surface of a rock, a silver-plated wind will blow and will disappear (the rock) in a valley full of dreams and illusions The route that we left in a snow field, illuminated by a pale moon, And the snow that quietly dances and smiles Ideals never were realised And if we had never had them, would they have become reality? Even if this quest is full of obstacles (thorns) We will follow our way without hesitation That is our form of life A justice without power is impotent, but is there a meaning of having power without pride? Even if everybody betrays to us, We will follow with the aim of fulfilling our ideals That is our justice.
