23.5, Ep 8

[dangermousie]

Heheheh this is the toxic set up I like!

I mean, if he's only banging/dating you because you look like his unobtainable crush, nothing good is gonna happen.

Finished first ep and so far it's vvvv close to the novel, yay!!!

Just a non-comprehensive list of all the things P'Jojo touched on throughout the entirety of The Warp Effect:

The harm of forcing teens to promise absolute abstinence from sex while not providing space for safe and open discussions about it

Some people have a strong sense of their sexuality/gender identity. Others don't

Even guys who seem like good ones can do horrible things and be unaware. They are not required to be forgiven no matter how guilty they feel

Being single by choice is not shameful

Fwb is not shameful either

No one has any right to expect more out of a relationship when you have communicated what you are up for up front

Female friendship is a beautiful, wonderful thing, why would we pit so many bad bitches against each other when they're cooler as friends?

Nonsexual kinks are valid and with the right person can make for a beautiful relationship

There are several methods for pregnancy and it's important to discuss things with your donor (if you've chosen one personally)

Listen to your partner! It is actually possible to be together for a decade and still be unaware of something they like/dislike!

You can be forgiven for being shitty in high school but that is not up to you, it's only up to the person you have wronged

Always know the age of whoever you're talking to so you don't accidentally sleep with a minor

Fatphobia and transphobia have never been cool

Trauma hurts and the journey to work through it is difficult. It's not wrong to want to reconcile with someone and find that you can't. It's not wrong to try to push past it numerous times. It is not your fault someone ruined what should be a good experience for you

Nonsexual intimacy is valid and the right partner will work with you to understand your needs

The choice to have children is a really big one and no it should not be an excuse to keep the relationship together. The choice not to doesn't always have to break it up either

Abortion is a personal matter and should be done safely and legally

STDs have all sorts of origins and are an important matter to address in terms of being polyamorous or even going from one partner to the next. They are also not a reason to feel shame and are simply a matter of getting proper treatment and abstaining from sex while healing. Straight couples can get them, it isn't just a gay stereotype

Anyone can have a romantic relationship and not have sex

Parenting from afar isn't being responsible, but it is still possible to create a relationship with your estranged child

Dick size is nothing to be concerned about - you can find someone who enjoys a sexual relationship with you no matter what

It is so important to see your doctor. If that doctor makes you uncomfortable, though, you should be fine to leave and go somewhere else

Gay does not mean pedophile and it's important for you and your children to know the difference because there are gay teachers and coaches who have enough on their shoulders

Cheating doesn't have to include anything physical if you're seeking pleasure from someone who is not your partner and have not discussed such things with your partner or the person you cheat with

Sex work should not be criminalized and more of us need to standing up for the rights of sex workers

Masturbation is normal and doesn't have to be treated as sad or pathetic

Cishet people can be amazing allies. You can have your group of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and trans people with a bunch of them included and it can be a fabulous group

Casting agents that don't allow for body and gender diversity don't deserve their job

The show gave us a whole PSA on pelvic exams????? HELP??????

ALWAYS PRACTICE SAFE SEX NO MATTER WHAT YOUR AGE, ORIENTATION, OR IDENTITY IS - ALWAYS HAVE A PROPER DISCUSSION AND STICK TO WHAT EVERYONE CONSENTS TO. ALWAYS

I swear I'm still missing stuff but everything that The Warp Effect said is so special to me

MIDNIGHT MUSEUM: Katha's Wardrobe Appreciation — 2/?

I’m very grateful that a lot of Thai shows are on YouTube for free, AND IT’S NOT PIRATING. Like it’s just there for free with the only downside being it’s up to Thai broadcasting standards with the censorship for certain things and it has the ads, but it’s worth it for free shows that you might have to use a VPN or go on a shady site to watch. Thank you Thai broadcasters for that, extra thanks for actually adding English subtitles as well.

all these Laws of Attraction (2023) things flying around are making my desire to re-watch Khun Chai SKYROCKET. I don't have time! But the heart wants.

(If you haven't watched it yet, what's stopping you? it's the love child of a typical telenovela-style Thai lakorn, a wuxia show, and a historical BL show, and it's FANTASTIC. it's historical! it's got family politics! actual politics! a huge cool ensemble of characters! fantastic sibling relationships! MAGIC! It's on youtube -- with subs! the first episode is 95% exposition and has a content warning list that's at least eight items long, but I promise a) it gets better after that b) you will get SUCKED IN.

I'm not selling this well but it legitimately was one of my top five favourite things that aired in 2022, so if you've heard or read about other faves of mine and thought, oh, this person has acceptable taste? give it a shot.

Again: It's 17 episodes, on youtube in full, and it has both English and Thai subtitles available. The theme song is sung by Nunew and the MV hit 10M views on youtube within two weeks.

I'm not even making you go try to find it yourself. Here's ep 1. Have fun.

Warnings under the cut. Despite the laundry list of them, this is NOT a grimdark show.

Ep 1 contains instances of: homophobia, forced outing, suicide (on screen and graphic), attempted murder of a child, corporal punishment of a child, snakes (bad cgi).

Overall warnings for things that don't occur in ep one but will at some point (I'll dig up specifics if anyone needs them):

bugs (seriously this has SO many bugs), roofying/sex pollen, murder (various instances), controlling parents, mushrooms (you'll see), fire, ep 5 has rats and a very disturbing view of a mutilated corpse … I'll add to this as I remember.

I thought waiting for japanese shows to finish is the worst, but thai shows win at this. 14 weeks, once a week. sis that’s more than 3 months

Guys, what if Run is just another clone from a different universe like Dome???

[dangermousie]

You are all fired for not informing me that this danmei:

Is getting a Thai-Taiwan coproduction adaptation:

AAAAAAA!!!

I am beside myself!!!!

I have not read this particular novel but (1) I love love love this author's Wu Chang Jie (in my top 5 danmeis) and enjoyed a couple of her moderns, and (2) this is a freaking period setting aaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Most BL dramas do little for me because a lot of them are modern coming of age tales (mostly fluffy) and I am just too old, angst-junkiish and costume drama obsessed to care. But this? AAAAAAAA!!!!

[vegasandhishedgehog]

Man, remember when Midnight Museum gave us the most confusing and insane take on biblical mythos infused with homoeroticism featuring half of the GMMTV roster as cameos. That was a time and I miss it.

[intotthenight]

This was the softest little kiss I’ve ever seen, very Englot coded.

My favorite losers are so in love 🥹🫠🤍⏳
