Day 9: Most Visually Pleasing Love Scene

Let's get into the colored love scenes. The ones completely bathed in a singular color to evoke a certain emotion fueling the love scene. IDK what the colors mean 98% of the time but I know the color was a deliberate choice.

The Green Bathroom Scene in KinnPorsche. The way I was OBSESSED with this scene. I could watch it for 10 hrs straight and scream and squeal like it's the first time.

The Blue Scene in For Him the Series. Between the blue lighting and Nail allowing Him to undress him completely (jewelry included) I was GAGGED. It was such an eye grabbing scene.

The Pink Scene in the Sign. What can I say about this fucking scene other than PERFECTION!? I liked that we got two love scenes wrapped in one bright neon pink bow, but specifically when they move to the bed and Phaya is PLASTERED again Tharn's back?? The silent consent?? Tharn biting his thumb as Phaya entered him?? *Chef's Kiss*

But also...any type of lifting in a love scene??? Idk man it tickles my brain and I LOVE to see it! Specifically Tharn lifting Type in the shower in TharnType s2. Honestly...Tharn lifted Type's big ass quite frequently.

Oh also that one love scene of Charlie railing Babe against the locker room mirror. I enjoyed every scene of Babe getting railed though.

And the Daddy Couch Scene in Love in the Air. Like that was a treat for me. I prayed for it and was gifted. It was for me.

I would like to quickly summarize Tharn and Type's relationship. You're welcome.

Someone may maliciously claim that I skipped several stages. So I'm filling out the whole story now:

[readingplannet]

Does TharnType the series have problematic tropes in its storyline?

YES

Does TharnType have some of the best acting that you get to see in the BL industry?

ALSO YES

I feel that is the reason people keep coming back to it even after noticing the problems in the storyline because the actors made it feel so real. Honestly it's some of the best acting I have seen in the BL industry. Not a lot of the series have come in par with that level of acting.

Poll: Favorite JaFirst BL Series

Once you get hooked on a BL couple, you want more. And if the BL Gods are listening, you don't just get more, you get variety.

With Ja and First, we've seen them be friends to lovers (TharnType Season 2), ramp up their romance (Don't Say No), cosplay every fan's fantasy (Be Mine SuperStar), and...well, I didn't even know Remember Me existed until today, but I'm sure somebody saw it.

So if a mutual needed an introduction to this pairing...

TharnType the Series 2 Boxset issues!

THERE IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE.

On a completely unrelated note, I had to restrain myself from proposing marriage via email recently.

Part 2 (also Thai because I might just be obsessed)

[kwonzoshi]

Is it bad that I think people are a bit too harsh on Mame? Maybe it’s because I haven’t watched Tharntype (which I usually see people criticizing) but I see people nagging on her for 2 things: toxic love interests and sexual assault plot lines. The former happens more often than not in BL, and the latter…idk man, not to make any assumptions, but usually when writers frequently include a serious element like this in their work, it’s because of real life experience with it.

Honestly, I don’t really have much to say on Mame per se. There are definitely WORSE authors in the industry.

People will feel what they feel and at the end of the day it’s all about perception.

I do agree with the end, I don’t want to assume anything but that is true for a lot of authors. They pull from their own experiences and traumas.

Hard to say where she got these plot ideas from but, if anyone wants to provide any opinions or open a dialogue about it: Feel free to do so.

In TharnType 2, Type's dad refers to Tharn as 'Farang,' when he isn't a foreigner. Is Tharn Chinese descendant Thai? And would that make 'farang' derogatory in this sense? Type's dad was also teaching Tharn about Buddhist practices in the last episode. From what I have read, Thailand is mostly Buddhist, so do you think it was odd to not have Tharn be Buddhist, or do you think there was intention behind it? Or does this play into the 'farang' comment?

Erm, so far as I know farang is more for European-ness or caucasian ancestry/features. It's got little or nothing to do with Chinese descendant, if the script writers had wanted to indicate that, Tharn would have called his brother hia or something along those lines.

So far as I know it’s not a slur, but like any word it can be made such with the right tone and additional contest. It simply means “white foreigner.” 

"... is not a word loaded with intent to harm. If someone is relating to a farang amongst a group of Thais, it’s a convenient if not lazy way to articulate which person it is. While many may object to being labelled in any way, it’s a neutral label and certainly not a negative one when used on its own – though it can be offensive if words are added." (source) 

Culturally, whiteness is elevated and idealized by the beauty industry and media so when farang is used by a Thai person on a Thai person the context is... complicated. Mixed complement and insult, I would say. 

The best example of the complexity of this use is with Tangmo and Vier in Great Men Academy. Tangmo is “the funny one” while Vier is “the hot one.” They are best friends but Tangmo calls Vier farang in a bro-ish affectionate yet insulting way. Kinda like “handsome fucker.” 

Since Type’s dad dislikes Tharn, in this context, farang is being used for explicit othering, but also with a subtextual annoyance at Tharn’s handsomeness. 

So far as Tharn not being Buddhist, I think this is done to indicate a class difference more than anything. Tharn’s family is intentionally meant to be VERY wealthy. There is a rich upper-class element in Thailand connected to christianity (also connected to private schooling) and I think narratively, MAME is using this to contrast to Type’s southern Thai “brash” roots. Also it makes Tharn explicitly different than most since, as you say, 85-95% of Thailand’s population is Theravada Buddhist. 

Also, very courageous of you to watch TharnType 2, it’s one of my more infamous trash watches. To this day I still call it: TharnType 2: 7 Years of I Can’t Even

Eboni!! I was reading your tags under that daddy gifset post for phayurain and how you said that it is your favorite out of all thai bl love scenes and it got me thinking. What are your top 10 favorite love making scene from another bl series.

Tyler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gawd let me go do some research and compile my data!

TharnType's shower scene in TharnType 2: 7 Years of Love. Since their shower scene was cut from s1 we were rewarded in s2 and when Tharn LIFTED Type I damn near ascended (we won't ponder on how Tharn was able to keep a tight grip when they were both covered in suds).

Tharn lifted Type a lot, I noticed, and it's one of my absolute favorite things. I'd also like to go on record and say that TT2 had some of THE best love scenes in all Thai BL.

The Green Bathroom Scene in KinnPorsche The Series. It's no secret I was OBSESSED with that scene. OBSESSED! It was literally perfection. Who knew a hand job could be so...personal...so intense...so erotic? Also it was filmed beautifully! The use of the mirror was *chef's kiss*

The Kitty Play scene in Bed Friend. Oh mah gah! That scene was epic! Everything from the request to the consent to Uea being in total control? King being at Uea's feet practically the whole time? Also the tongue????????????? It was superb.

Can I just go back on record and say that NetJames have NO business serving me everything. All their love scenes HIT!

Cai and Gav's first time in Gameboys 2/Gameboys the Movie. I was not expecting for that scene to be so GOOD! I wasn't expecting a love scene at all tbh. It was sweet and passionate and they practiced safe sex AND confirmed they were vers! 10/10. CaiReel actually own my whole heart.

I really hope EliKoy get their flowers for Gameboys one day.

Yu Zhen and Shi Lei's first time in Be Loved in House: I Do. You ever read in a romance novel about how the couple reaches their boiling point? Like the tension is too much to ignore? That's what their first time was like. It was an explosion of passion and relief. Like if they hadn't done it then they would've combusted. Also...more lifting...

The love scene in Check Out Ep 0...not to be confused with Check Out the Series. Anyways before Nine and Daonuea were ruined they had an amazing and blissful encounter after a fun resort party. They were freshly single strangers who happened to connect on their own solo trips to the same resort.

When I say Chahub and Best DELIVERED on the lust and passion???? THE CHEMISTRY?? They really had me excited for the series...which is why I was so bummed when it flopped. I do encourage EVERYONE to go watch Check Out Ep 0 tho...if it's still on YouTube.

The locker room scene in Between Us. Where do I even begin????? Moving from the pool to the locker rooms to escape the cameras? Win reminding Team he could back out at any time. The damn near visible SPARKS between them??? The way Win looked like he wanted to eat Team up with a spoon?? I was gagged.

The Couch scene in Manner of Death. Between Teacher Tan's hair pulling and Dr. Bun's slutty faces, I couldn't stop screaming. They really smashed in front of the evidence computer and their cactus. That adrenaline rush kicked in and had them going at it like it was their last night on Earth.

Fighter and Tutor's first time in Why R U the Series. I was obsessed with that scene. Loved that Tutor was complaining about Fighter turning him on and then trying to back out. I love that Fighter started at Tutor's feet. I love that Fighter's neck was bared for Tutor. I loved watching them fight for dominance. I loved seeing how absolutely breathless Tutor left Fighter.

Jim and Wen's "one night stand" in Moonlight Chicken. That was the most passionate and intimate one night stand I've ever seen. Uncle Jim covering Wen's face in kisses and lacing their fingers together? Wen kissing Jim all over????? For that to be EarthMix's first love scene they really delivered.

[sins-spookyboogie]

I have so many shows I want to watch , but I'm still stuck on the finale EP of KinnPorsche (and there being no more Saturday wait 😭) so I can't focus.

So all I'm doing is blogging about KP and rewatching TharnType and BadBuddy 🥺.

BL ~ Drama Asks

I wasn’t tagged, I make my own fun ;P

( Totally nabbed from @absolutebl )

1) If you had to watch one drama forever what would it be?

My first instinct is to say one of the series I’ve watched a dozen times already, but they’re all pretty dramatic and emotional and I don’t know if I wanna live through that forever lol. So I’m gonna go with Cherry Blossom After Winter, I really adore this fluffy BL. It’s seriously my comfort series, it too sweet and I could easily watch it forever.

2) If you could change the ending of a drama which one would it be?

Anyone who doesn’t answer HIStory3: Make Our Days Count has either never seen it or has no heart, seriously, that is the top of the list of BL endings that needs to be changed! 😭 Kissable Lips is one I would change the ending of as well, still a better love story than Twilight tho.

3) Name your favorite drama and tell who your favorite character was.

I have two favourite BLs that take number one on my list, Until We Meet Again and Not Me. My favourite characters in UWMA are Dean, Korn and Win. My favourite characters in Not Me are White, Black, Sean, Yok and Gumpa. Yeah, there’s no such thing as one favourite character in my world lol.

4) Name a drama you dropped within the first few episodes ~ we all have at least one!

Check Out, I really really tried to like it but the characters were all just terrible people. Like I get that cheating happens, but when that’s the entire show, it gets a little dull.

5) Name a popular drama you've never watched and why?

SOTUS… I know, I know! This is like the BL that launched Thai BLs into the international market. And to be fair to Singto, he is one hell of an actor, he just has amazing chemistry with whoever he works with. But I’ve heard/read some pretty not good things about Krist concerning homophobic things done during filming, and that kinda soured the show for me. I’m queer and have no issue with actors playing gay for pay, obviously. But when an actor is gay for pay but rude about it, then I have issues. I grew up doing theatre, working both in front of and behind the scenes, I’ve been trained as an actor and I know nothing makes a working environment hell like an acting partner that just does not wanna be there, it makes you have to work twice as hard. Which is why I think Singto’s acting stands out so damn much next to Krist, because he was working his ass off to sell that onscreen romance. Also LBC2: A Chance To Love, again, much like Krist, Mean has had some pretty damming rumours and stories come out about him being homophobic. Also I just really dislike TinCan as a couple lol.

6) Name a drama you regret watching.

TharnType, what even was the god damned mess!? And why in gods name did I watch TharnType 2!? Can we stop MAME from writing gay stories until she’s actually met gay people? Because from the storylines I’m thinking she’s never actually spoken to a gay man in her life 🙄

7) Name a drama you thought you’d never watch but did and did you end up liking it?

Fish Upon The Sky, it looked seriously stupid but I actually ended up liking MorkPi and DueanMeen as well as their actors, I’m actually looking forward to seeing PondPhuwin pair up again in Never Let Me Go and NeoLouis in The Eclipse.

8) Name a pairing you want to see?

I’ve mentioned before in passing about wanting to see Gun pair up with either Mond or Sing, so I’ll pick differently this time. I’d really like to see Saint work with First, I know First is already kinda branded with Toru, what with them being in War of Y together after their episodes of Y Destiny. But I think if Saint wants to stop being cast as the cute lil uke he needs to be paired with someone slighter than him but equally as pretty, which is where First comes in. I’d love to see Saint as a cold tsundere type, softened by a sweet lil character played by First. Plus I think they would both go pretty ham when it came to any romantic scenes, possibly farther than Saint went with Zee.

9) Name a pairing you didn’t think had chemistry?

TinCan, I’ve mentioned them before and I swear it’s not just because I’m not a fan of Mean’s work lol. Seriously, I never found TinCan to have much chemistry at all. Also, I know BrightWin are some of GMMtv’s golden boys buuuutttt SarawatTine were lukewarm at best 🤷

10) Name a pairing you have seen in another drama that you like?

I really liked Na and Ja as a pairing in UWMA, Sorn and Sin were the only couple that didn’t have any awkwardness in their physicality, they existed within each other’s space, orbited around one another as a real couple would. So often in BLs I find couples have trouble with their physicality, both platonic and romantic touching as well as simply inhabiting another’s personal space. You can almost see them acting and that’s one thing you do not want your audience to be able to do, if an audience can feel/see that you’re acting then you’re doing your job wrong. Wise words from a director I once had, harsh words but wise lol. I would love to see them work together again but now that JaFirst have branded together since Don’t Say No, I doubt highly we’ll ever see NaJa work together again, at least not as a couple.

Of course I'm loving Phugun and Cirrus and they are the side couple that gets 2 minutes of airtime and no fandom attention. I'm also loving Doc and Champ but they are getting more attention.
