What if 1st gen group that left their agency set up their own and redebuted as UpTurn and they have the nickname beasts because they are legit that good no matter what.
And 2nd gen group i-light/5ive, made on a survival show that the producers made to create a new group that would reach the same heights as the beasts did, who blossomed into their own sound. What if they debuted with a song or two that was meant for the beasts before they dipped....
What if before redebuting the beasts took a break, and shadow in particular became a songwriter/choreographer and after getting over the initial salt because of how excited these literal teenagers(at the time) get over the chance to work with him(he's not much older than they are.)
WHAT IF HE, LILY AND HOLLY CHOREO TOGETHER, WHEN THEY ARE READY TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE GROUPS ACTIVITIES. HE ROUNDS UPTURN UP SO THEY CAN HAVE SOME REAL COMPETITION.
sobs what if Shadow finds out vani is having a seriously hard time doubting his abilities as a performer(he can sing like a goddamn angel, but he struggles to keep it up while dancing,) and they practice together loads.
Eternal sugar helping holly and pitaya cover up their relationship until they're ready and helps them set up their own game/chat show.
Mystic flour becomes a high level producer/manager and Cacao becomes head stunt coordinator and they devise a system to provide crazy amazing stunts and fights without sacrificing safety.
Silent salt helps lily when she is struggling mentally to have a break. They introduce her to elder faerie who was a trainee with them who became their manager and visual director.
Goldie and burning spice have been making sick beats together since they were kids, spice was probably goldies babysitter or her babysitters younger sibling. Spice got a drum kit for their birthday and goldie was intrigued.
5ive having to take a break and they come back with solo albums (released in game order ofc) leading up to their big group return.
Hi Absolute BL! Your blog has been a great resource for finding wonderful BLs to watch and love.
I was hoping you might be able to help. I've been having so much fun in BL/QL land that I've gotten a friend at least sorta interested but I don't really have a good show to recommend for them to watch. It would need to fit two requirements.
One of which is easy, low heat with maybe a couple kisses.
The other might not be possible: *big sigh* Dubbed instead of subtitled. They often can't do subtitles, but I haven't come across any BLs/QLs that are dubbed. A couple of kdramas on netflix are dubbed, but nothing that fits the bill.
I figured if anyone would know of a unicorn of a series that was low-heat, dubbed, and good, it would be you. If this is a unicorn of a different stripe, that is okay; I'll just continue with BL story time, where I basically summarize the plot of the BLs I'm obsessed with to my friend.
Happy Valentine's Day!
BLs that are Dubbed?
Ooo, you stumped me. Because I NEVER watch anything dubbed so I have those options turned off on all platforms.
Please COMMENT or RP+ if you know more?
Personally? I would check whatever is on Netflix in your country. In the states currently it's:
I Cannot Reach You
Wish You: Your Melody in Your Heart
Both of which satisfy your other criteria.
(Looks like Wish You is gone. If it was dubbed, you might be able to find the dubbed version grey now. Love Sick and SOTUS both were once on Netflix too, so you could check for them as well.)
Also good, possibly dubbed, on Netflix, but maybe not for your friend:
Eternal Summer
Your Name Engraved Herein
These are more in the "sad gay arthouse smackdoodle" arena.
Animated Yaoi
You could track these down? Crunchyroll maybe?
Cherry Magic
Love Stage!!
Semantic Error
These are the ones I know of off the top of my head that are also BLs. Love Stage!! and Cherry Magic both have Japanese and Thai BL adaptations.
It's pretty rare for BL to be dubbed. For many reasons, not the least of which is... it's not worth the money. It's leagues more expensive to loop than to caption.
Also, to be frank, the fandom isn't interested.
Unlike anime, live action fans often prefer the caption/sub experience and tend to be interested in (or even trying to learn) the source language. Sometimes because they are older, sometimes for other reasons. Demographics and all. Which is to say: if captions are less expensive and preferred, why bother dubbing?
I understand the disability argument in play, but remember these are entertainment assets at root - BLs need to make money. If dubbing isn't gonna increase audience numbers enough to profit, they have no reason to do it.
If any production house ever does it, my money is on Idol Factory. If The Sign got a Netflix distribution deal, for example, I could imagine a dubbed version. I don't think that's very likely, tho.
NIBIRU ( KR: 니비루 ), also known as X BOYZ, is an eight membered boy group under PANDORA LABELS. They are well-known for their blended concept of space and cyberpunk.
NIBIRU originally debuted in 2014 as a large coed group called SOLARISM, with eight boys and eight girls in two separate units: NEBULA and NIBIRU. The group originally had started with a complex lore, complete with its own universe and storyline. However, as time went on, the units were treated more and more as separate groups, until STARBORN CREATIVE finally made the official decision to dissolve SOLARISM after four years and redebut NEBULA and NIBIRU under PANDORA LABELS as separate groups with a few new faces, but still keeping their interwoven lore with a few tweaks.
