#the movie makes it seem like they're both polar opposites at first (one being `good` and one being `bad`)

PAULINA FLAVIUS as the DAME WITH A CASE

A hardboiled detective is loafing around behind his desk, waiting for something to happen. The impetus for getting the story going arrives in the form of a dame. Richly dressed, she cuts an impressive figure. She states to the private eye that she has a case for him. Don't expect the dame to be what meets the eye. She might know more about the case than she is letting on... Sweet as saccharine, is she truly as kind and earnest as she seems?

YOUR MATCHUP IS..

CAMILO MADRIGAL

° Both of you seemed to have hit it off because of eachother's polar opposites, and that's something i find really beautiful with couples have that. ( the way you don't have to always be in common with one another.)

° you both may have different likings but they compliment eachother in a way, he'd be into more dancing and you'd play the instrument. stuff like that <3

° besides having to have differences, he seriously makes the effort spend time with you and do stuff you're well versed. Helping you out cook, watching how you draw and tries to learn himself just for you, or just simply listen to you play a piece on your instruments.

° He's also the person to need a good and strong bond if you decide your feelings for eachother change in that way, he'll be there when you need a shoulder to cry on, insists that you talk to him when he knows that something's wrong, talk with you as much as he can even though he's not good at the wordy advices and just be with you in general.

° What you do together doesn't matter because he's happy with just being with you, though when it comes to physical affection, he's the very clingy "don't leave me pls" type but in a good way-

° Surprise hugs, forehead kisses are his favourite to give. Also very long cuddle sessions when you have the time <3

° While you read, he creates chaos when he can. All you could do is sigh-

° giving very chaos and calm trope <33

(a/n) AAAA ily too!! im really sorry i haven't gotten to this sooner! Hope you liked this! 🍊

Hi hi! It's me again, polyamorous anon

I'm sending this request so when your asks are open again you can do it ヽ(*ﾟｰﾟ*)ﾉ

Can you plz write Will x Frankie x reader hc's??

Idrc if they're nsfw or not, i just wanna read sum cuz i ship them and they're my F/O's too sooo

(my pronouns are they/he and im non binary :D)

My asks aren't open yet but i have free time rn! So i can write some HCs! And thank you for telling me your pronouns! Some people forget to tell me in asks and well, i don't wanna seem rude and call someone the wrong pronouns. Also this is my first time writing poly relationships so sorry if my HCs aren't that good 😅

Poly relationship: frankie the undead x reader x william grossman

Most of the HC are SFW but i do have NSFW but it's just a few

The three of you get a good balance when it comes to being serious and being goofy

Though the only problem is how often and how much time you get to spend with both of them

You and will go out on dates more often. Sense frankie is usually always working and is sometimes gone for days, even weeks

Which is one of the cons of dating frankie.

That he either can't go out because of work, or because he's scared he'll put either you or will at risk from other hitmen

But he means well, he just wants to protect the both of you and loves the two of you. So please understand him :)

When it comes to dates with Will, it's usually to order something to eat, play video games, or watch something on Netflix but he also fucking loooooves self care things. So if you wanna do face masks or do some sort of face treatment, he is totally up to doing it

Also he is really adventurous, so sometimes he might even want to go explore abandoned or haunted places and just fool around with you

But when frankie is around, it's usually in the early morning, which is when will is at the institution

So now both you and frankie miss will

But what makes everything worth while is seeing how happy will gets when he sees frankie at the apartment with you when he gets back from the institution

it's always really cute seeing him get so excited and just hug him after days of not seeing him

And when frankie is around, will makes the best of it

"Y/n and i already found a movie we think you might like! We can watch it today! We can buy some popcorn or order some pizza! Right y/n?!"

You guys are basically the trio of will being the energetic one, frankie as the always tierd one, and you are the only calm one that balances the two of them out

You and will are also frankie's only ray of sunshine

frankie needs a good laugh? Y/n, will, you know what to do!

Is frankie stressed out? Maybe a massage and cuddles could help! But if it turns to something more ✨spicy✨, hey, no one's complaining am i right?

He's strong, agile, etc, he can easily dom both you and will

Will loves teasing both you and frankie, but if you and him tease frankie, ohh boy are you two in for a fucking RIDE

But if it's actually you and frankie teasing will; he is a BIG bottom and you sure as hell will have him on his knees begging you and frankie to literally do anything to him. will is open to anything, so don't doubt on trying anything new

Will is also very lovey dovey and absolutely loves physical affection

So he definetly loves being in the middle so both you and frankie cuddle him

So he loves getting cuddled but he is also the best cuddler

I know that frankie and will are polar opposites when it comes to energy and personality but this is actually the healthiest and most wholesome relationship you could ever ask for

There is no such thing as jealousy between the three of you

There might be the ocassional disagreement but frankie and will are a bit of peacemakers

They don't like being mad or upset with you or eachother, so they always look for the best ways to get along

When it comes to sleeping, frankie stay in the middle so he can hug both you and will

Will likes pulling pranks on the two of you (harmless of course)

But if you are just as chaotic as will, his pranks might have no effect on you

Will: *puts salt instead of sugar in both y/n and frankie's coffee cup* here you go!

Frankie: thanks babe *takes a big gulp but immediatly spits it out* will what the hell?!? Did you put salt in this?!?

Will: *trying to not burst out in laughter*

Frankie: goddamnit...y/n dear, don't drink tha-

Y/n: *drinks the entire mug of salty coffee in a heart beat*

Will and frankie: 😨

When the three of you have quiet time, it's always so peaceful. Neither of You have to talk and can enjoy each other's presence

But, even though frankie complains a lot about having too much noise, he still enjoys will's loud singing when he has his random karaoke nights in the apartment

Which will would absolutely want you to join in

So if you're shy or not that confident, will can Definetly make you come out of your shell

Will isn't a perfect singer, so he doesn't care if you're a good singer or not, he just wants to have fun with you

Frankie doesn't really get into it so he's fine with just watching you and will sing

It just brings him so much joy seeing you two happy

It's basically like this:

You and will:

Frankie on the outside:

Frankie in the inside:

Frankie has a soft spot but only for you and will

DAY 2: FAVORITE BL DRAMA

I have quite a few... I can’t choose just one so bare with me lol

Life Senjou No Bokura

Synopsis According to MyDramaList: One day after school, the serious Ito and the child-like Nishi meet by chance, as each endeavors to remain walking  on the sidewalk`s white line. As time goes by, Ito recognizes he is drawn to Nishi in a way that is new to him. Nishi, for his part, is frustrated that they only get to meet on the sidewalk. Ito decides to act upon his feelings and kisses a surprised Nishi, who agrees they need to walk side by side for a change. The sparks between them are undeniable as their relationship blossoms in high school, survives the college years, and matures into adulthood. A deeply moving work that bears witness to loving partners, whose unchanging feelings must co-exist within a world of changing realities.

My Personal Thoughts: I already wrote a review for this so I am going to re-share some of those thoughts here. This is one that I have watched countless times already. They went by the manga for mostly all of the episodes and I appreciated seeing that. They gave more context for certain details that may have been lost while reading the manga and translated it to screen. I think they depicted the age gaps well too. For 4 episodes only, I feel that they did a great job including the most important aspects. Actually now that I think of it, I would have loved to see more of them in their early 20s depicted on screen because that was like one of there honeymoon phases and I’m a hopeless romantic lol but that’s just a personal preference not complaining. Also, the show stopped at age 40 and they could have gone on throughout there entire lives but I understand why they chose not too. The manga is great as well!!! I think that the main actors depicted beautiful true love very well. They had amazing chemistry. Japanese BL’s have that special spark about them that I love. I also loved that it showed there relationship from high school till there later years. I don’t see that a lot with BL’s. They usually just stick to one time period. The aspect about them being connected by a line in relation to there love was a nice touch as well. I am glad that it has a happy ending as well. This is a pretty quick one to watch and a great one at that!!! If you haven’t watched it yet, I would highly recommend it!!!

I Told Sunset About You 

Synopsis According to MyDramaList: Teh and Oh-aew were best friends until a boyhood line of reasoning turned them into rivals. Years later as they're preparing for university admissions, both pursuing interests in the field of Communication Arts, the two meet in a Chinese language class. Their reunion awakens complicated and unstable feelings.

My Personal Thoughts: Same as above, I already wrote a review for this so I am going to re-share some of those thoughts here. This is DEFINITELY one of my top BL shows of the year 2020. This is such a beautiful masterpiece of a show!!! I remember when the preview trailer first came out… I was already hooked!!! I was on the lookout for it and it did not disappoint me one bit when it finally started. I looked forward to seeing it every week. It made me feel all of the emotions. I was up here sitting in my room crying over everything. I don’t think any other BL has made me this emotional before in my life. The two lead actors really DELIVERED!!! I could feel every single stare, every single body movement, and every single touch. You could cut the TENSION with a knife!!! No one couldn’t tell me that there wasn’t a magnetic true love between these two. I know this sounds cliche but it's like they were destined to be together from when they were childhood friends. Also, I would love to see them in future projects!!! The cinematography in this show is TOP FREAKIN NOTCH!!! Every single scene is just so beautifully shot. The cinematography alone makes me want to cry lol I saw somewhere that someone said the filming of the show reminded them of an indie film and I totally agree!!! The writing and directing on this show was impeccable to me!!! No cringy dialogue and every single line served its purpose well. This is movie grade writing. I also wanted to quickly just say that I loved the attention and callback to details throughout like with the tutoring book that Teh made for Oh-aew that was left empty by the end of episode 4, the flower that was supposed to be colored the same as Tan’s garment but Teh colored it red because he was thinking of Oh-aew, the rubbing of Oh-aew’s back when he sniffles, the references to Teh’s favorite actor, and the use of Chinese phrases to get meaning across. I could go on and on but wow I just loved how they really connected all of the details throughout. I can’t wait for Season 2!!!

Theory of Love

Synopsis According to MyDramaList: Third is a filmology major and a member of the Savage Team along with his best friends Two, Bone, and Khai, but he has a secret. Third has been secretly in love with Khai for years. For three years, he has kept his secret love in his heart, silently supporting and loving Khai while knowing there is absolutely no future between them since Khai is as straight as a streetlight pole and also an absolute player. To make matters worse, Khai has a "no dating friends" policy. How long can Third love Khai silently while watching Khai bring a different girl home every night? Third has tried to see Khai as just a friend. But has failed time and time again. Because as easy as it is to fall in love, to stop is just as hard.  Maybe even harder. That is until Third learns a secret that breaks his heart completely. But when Third decides to stop, Khai decides to start.

My Personal Thoughts: As sad as this show can make me feel at times, I love rewatching it. I still to this day think that it is one of the most well written BL’s that I have seen. Everything flows nicely and everything connects. Your not left wondering how you got from point A to point B. I thought the show had great character development especially when it came to Khai’s character towards the end of series. I know a lot of people had mixed feelings about his character due to how careless and dare I say stupid he acted at times but if he can make the audience hate him that much as a character... I would say he is doing something right!!! Gun’s acting never fails to amaze me!!! He really is one of the best actors I have seen. I know he had to be drained from all of that crying that he did throughout the show though lol It just goes to show that when you truly love someone you can’t just stop what you are feeling inside that easily no matter how the other person feels about you or treats you. As the old saying goes, love is blind. I also loved the friend group as well and Two and Bones side stories with the teacher and crush from school. They added to the shows greatness and didn’t take away from it. The friendship dynamics throughout the show was I feel something that really kept me engaged. The cast acted well together. There was no awkwardness or hesitation. I feel everyone bought there best for this drama. They incorporated the movie references so cleverly and I love how the title of each episode was the title of a real romance film. Just the overall theme of film was very intriguing to me. This drama left me filled with heartache and a rollercoaster of emotions but the ending is worth it!!!

HIStory3: Make Our Days Count

Synopsis According to MyDramaList: At first glance, high schoolers Xiang Hao Ting and Yu Xi Gu appear to be polar opposites: While Xiang Hao Ting is an outgoing, hot-headed extravert and some-time bully, Yu Xi Gu prefers to keep a low profile and focus on his schoolwork. They seem bound for totally different futures – the bookish Yu Xi Gu looks destined for academic success, while life is just a long popularity contest for Xiang Hao Ting. But a quirk of fate – and a crucial intervention by a female schoolmate – results in the two young men’s paths crossing. But there is more to both young men than first meets the eye. Xiang Hao Ting was not always this way. He started out as a perfect student until he discovered the joys of going off the rails. And Yu Xi Gu has a reason for being so aloof and studious: His parents died in a traffic accident while he was younger, and he is being fostered by his aunt. As such, he works hard to get good grades in an effort to win a scholarship and ease the financial burden on his relatives. Yu Xi Gu also works part-time at a convenience store, where his manager Liu Zhi Gang has developed a crush on a man he has met at the gym. Back at school, meanwhile, Yu Xi Gu and Xiang Hao Ting find themselves drawn together, and passions ignite. The former notices that he has the unique ability to bring Yu Xi Gu out of his shell – and becomes intent on melting his cold-as-ice exterior. What will happen when their two worlds collide? And can love be the catalyst that helps bring these two unlikely students together – as their high school days draw to a close?

My Personal Thoughts: I will stand by this notion for all of my days but this show is one of the best shows I have seen PERIOD!!! Not even best BL shows I have seen but just in general. It highkey saddens me that it is rated at an 8.1 right now on MyDramaList due to how it ended when other than that... it’s a top notch show. This was one that I watched as it was airing and I would get excited to see it every week. My clown self should have known by the title “Make Our Days Count” that some mess was about to occur but I didn’t pick up on it. Now, I just disregard the last episode (WE DON’T KNOW HER!!!). You can just tell that they had a great budget for this series. The production was on point. It had great cinematography, great storylines, and it felt realistic too. The main couples acting was OFF THE CHARTS AMAZING. I loved the whole opposites attract thing going on. Although the show was set in high school... it almost didn’t feel like it nor did it have those typical clichés going on. I liked how it dealt with topic of LGBTQ+ acceptance as well. I wasn’t so sure about the side couples relationship at first but I grew to love them as time went on. One last thing I wanted to point out was that even though I am always looking for a happy ending... I learned from this show that not everyone can get a happy ending. That’s not how life works sadly. In real life, there have been a lot of people who were truly in love and lost there partners tragically. Although it may be hard to accept the outcome, it is something that happens in real life. This is a drama that you appreciate even more as time goes on. It truly is a gem of a series!!!

TharnType

Synopsis According to MyDramaList: Type Thiwat is a handsome freshman with a passion for football and spicy food. Although he’s a friendly boy, he hates gay people because, in his childhood, he was molested by a man. His life turns upside down when the new academic year of college brings along a charismatic roommate, Tharn Kirigun. Tharn is a gorgeous, compassionate music major, who is also openly gay. When Type learns this, he is determined to make Tharn leave the dorm, as he won't live with a gay person. Tharn is equally determined not to give into Type's homophobic tantrums. With a gay guy and a homophobic guy that have to share a small space together for the rest of the year — what can possibly be the outcome of their story? Hatred? Or maybe love?

My Personal Thoughts: *Goes to hide in a corner* I know this drama is problematic and controversial as hell but it’s like a train wreck that you can’t turn  away from. What truly carries the show I feel is the chemistry between MewGulf. I don’t think I would have enjoyed the series as much if other actors were cast in those roles. They just exude confidence, passion, love, and lust. In terms of the storyline, I found it to be a chaotic occurrence of situations where I just had to know what was going to go on next. Everything that occurred had me intrigued for the next episode and so on and so forth. I loved Type’s character development. One quick thing I want to touch on was I know there were a lot of problematic things that happened which I will touch on at a later date but one thing I wish people were more understanding of was Type’s outbursts, thoughts, and feelings in certain situations. He was a victim of sexual assault so I felt the way he handled certain things was in response to what he had gone through as child and I think some viewers kind of missed that and were almost too harsh on him. Everyone processes and deals with trauma differently. This show went through so many twists and turns and I honestly lived for it especially the shocker towards the end of the series. I didn’t see that one coming at all!!! Despite all of its flaws, this show still holds a special place in my heart.

Honorable Mention:

Cherry Magic: As of today, this show has 4 episodes left and I think I am just going to come out and say that THIS IS MY FAVORITE BL OF THE YEAR!!! It’s a beautiful Japanese BL and I rewatch the old episodes while I wait for new ones to come out alot. It’s such a fluffy, heartwarming, and precious Bl series!!! I love it to pieces!!!

When Night Is Falling (1995)

dir. Patricia Rozema

This one was recommended to me by @wingedcatninja a little earlier in the week. Thank you! Please feel free to tell me what you thought about it!

I watched this film with some company which means that I had a good laugh while doing so, because, if I'm honest, it was just a tid bit ridiculous to me. Let's get into it.

The movie is about two women, Camille (Pascale Bussières) and Petra (Rachel Crawford). Camille is a mythology professor in a conservative Christian school, while Petra performs in the circus. After randomly meeting at a laundromat, Petra begins... pursuing Camille who, in turn, discovers both her sexuality and a more adventurous part of herself she hadn't known about.

So, okay, here's the thing. It wasn't...bad. It was a little over the top.

First off, it's yet another movie about polar opposites, a match that realistically would never work but it's fiction so you gotta make things exciting, I can't fault it for that. Plus, we gotta take into account that it's set and produced in '95 so, I suppose clichés are to be expected.

Petra begins pursuing Camille rather aggresivelly which, it may've been just me, but it kind of creeped me out? Like, Petra climbed the tree outside Camille's office to say hi, or to look, I'm not sure. And then she sent a toy arrow through her window with a picture of herself and another girl going at it with her phone number on the back in her own, unique way of quite literally sending nudes without the help of the internet.

The cinematography and the landscapes were beautiful though. Some of the directing was just gorgeous.

The thing I noticed most was the dialogue which was just awkward for the most part. Unrealistic, for me. Forced, even. If you heard a lot of this in real life, you'd probably cringe.

(that was just... Why?)

I loved their tenderness. I loved the scene after their sex scene where they're holding each other, talking about Camille wanting to run away to the circus with Petra. As actors, they had a pretty good chemistry when it came to those soft scenes.

Speaking of sex scenes though, I gotta admit, to me the two that took place in the movie seemed excessive. It may just be me, but they seemed a bit too long to the point where near the end I was almost awkward and uncomfortable. It felt like something too private for us to watch to such an extent. But that is just my personal opinion.

I liked the idea of the trapeze parallel. The two women up in the air moving in unison right after the two protagonists have been united.

Camille's boyfriend, Martin, was actually nicely portrayed. The reaction to discovering the woman he'd just proposed to was attracted to women, especially being a not so conservative Christian, was pretty damn unique and interesting and real. I didn't expect it, but I found it so human and realistic and definitely beyond the expectations I had. That was a good scene.

Also, I'm probably nit-picking, but I honestly couldn't care less about that guy, Timothy, or his girlfriend/wife, who were running the circus. They had absolutely no role in the movie. Also excessive. What was that?

The thing I was most bothered by was how quickly it all progressed. That was, what, a total of a week? A week and a half? And somehow they met each other, Camille found out she was gay, proceeded to accept it completely, fall in love with this stranger and run away to the circus. Huh?

Overall... Not a bad movie honestly. There were a lot of awkward moments, a lot of forced dialogue and scenes that kind of made you uncomfortable, but the ending was good and brought everything full circle. Not sleepover worthy. Probably something you'd watch alone when you don't feel like going outside. Would I watch it again? No. Would I recommend it? Eh, not so much. Did I have fun while watching it? Absolutely. But that might been my friends' fault.

I suppose, you have nothing to lose by watching it, but you have nothing to gain either. It's alright. I give it a 5/10.
