#thread: fah

"it's bad enough you broke my heart. you trying to ruin my life completely?" fah's eyes widened as the words left his mouth. words spoken out of anger and heartbreak, words meant to remain in his head. how did he let it slip that he had feelings for the other man? he exhaled through his nose, the sound coming out more like a growl but aimed at himself for being so careless. "whatever," fah quickly pushed aside, wanting to subtly backtrack. "you don't get to just do whatever you want without consequence."

muse: muenfah 'fah' pawanree, joong archen, twenty three open to: masc. plot: ( very very very loosely inspired on this bc i've never seen the series so idk what actually goes down ) i just want some angst ok? ok. so assume whatever kind of connection and how they're screwing with his life, now, even if it's not something your muse would think is life altering and i will just roll with it. fah obviously likes your muse, that's canon. whether they put it together prior to his lil confession or not is up to you.

there she is, right on time. woojoo smiles to herself as she spots fah in the distance - just as she had planned. in order to accidentally bump into the other with a job offer, woojoo had to look into the model's schedule to figure out the best time to approach her. thankfully, she excelled at sleuthing and easily figured out where the other would be today.

"hello!" she plants herself right in front of fah, her greeting a little too loud and excited as she smiles widely. "what a coincidence running into you here, i'm a huge fan!" not a lie exactly, but fah should be more likely to accept woojoo's invitation after being buttered up, after all. "say, i'm a variety show writer and i have a hot new show on the works - any chance you're interested in being part of it?"

Your Sky is another university BL, which means I, once again, will be fighting my sworn enemy — school uniforms.

But, luckily, I already know what I'm up against and spotted the colors from the trailers.

Muenfah, aka Fah, is a Blue Boy.

He and his friends have been incorrectly rumored to be mysterious and powerful Black Brooders by their peers.

But he is just exhibiting the negative traits of his blue color by being distant and impersonal.

So it's great that he ran into Teerak (or did Teerak run into him?) with his yellow cloth.

Because Teerak is a cheerful and chatty Yellow Yal who will provide balance to Fah's default distant demeanor and yank him out of his comfort zone.

Teerak comes from a colorful and happy family.

But it seems like Fah comes from a family of cold and emotionally closed-off people since I think even his brother seems like a Blue Boy, or Pun might be an actual secretive Black Brooder.

And normally I would rely on the phones being color-coded, but this show is giving me something different with color-coded iPads!

Joy in her pink jacket with her pink iPad and pink accented phone is a Pink Person.

And even though Type doesn't have a color-coded iPad, he does have green-colored headphones, so I think this forgetful and chill friend is a Green Guy.

He also had green text on his shirt at the party while Teerak had red already blossoming from his chest after running into Fah, so I don't need phones or iPads to feel sure about these colors.

And although we might not see sis again, she came, she served, and she was a Pink Person. Everyone pray we get to see her again.

But this is all to emphasize that everything about Teerak's life is very colorful. He is the bright sun coming out to make a rainbow.

Even Oh, being 🎶The Worst🎶, knows that Teerak is the yellow sun at the center of this universe since he got Teerak sunflowers.

But Blue Boy Fah easily gave Teerak his heart without a second thought, much like he is about to give Teerak everything he wants without hesitation.

It's like the red thread of destiny was always connecting these two color-coded boys who are about to be in love.

But first they have to get past one small barrier between them.

Which doesn't take long since, like I wrote, Teerak will force Fah to step out of his nice box of isolation without even trying.

Because Yellow Yals are impatient and don't like to be kept waiting, so Fah will have to move quickly to keep up with Teerak in everyday life and in love.

But, like I mentioned, fate seems to be saying their were destined.

And gave Fah the pink equals love light.

Which he knew exactly what to do with.

So really, fate gave Fah a head start.

And true to his Blue Boy-ness, he was smart enough to take it.

Good for him since he is going to need all the help he can get to handle his Yellow Yal and his colorful crew.

Where's his friends when he needs them?

Probably making out with each other if fate is on my side.

𝐀𝐄𝐆★𝐍'𝐒 notes : dear reader, this story will unfold over approximately 15 chapters, all of which have been meticulously outlined by yours truly (aka me, yes). it’s a slow burn between the characters, filled with a little bit of everything—from scenes not suitable for sensitive audiences to purely comedic moments, and even the classic teenage drama you’d expect from characters navigating this stage of life.

𝐀𝐄𝐆★𝐍'𝐒 pairing : dreambound!matt x lucid dream!reader

Chapter 01: The Dream That Changed Everything

matt was cranky as hell these days, his sleep schedule more like a roller coaster than anything resembling normal. living in LA with his brothers, nick and chris, in a fancy three-story crib, you'd think life was all sunshine, right? wrong. especially when you're one of the sturniolo triplets, where every day's gotta be content for their youtube channel, which had more followers than some small countries.

"hey, matt, you look like you got hit by a truck," nick said, his voice dripping with that LA cheer, as he watched matt drag himself into the kitchen like a zombie.

"yeah, well, i feel like one," matt grumbled, his Boston accent thick, "can't sleep fah nothin'."

chris, now hustling with his fresh love clothing line, was busy sketching new threads but still threw in, "maybe you need some new pajamas, bro. cotton or silk?"

matt just rolled his eyes, pouring himself coffee strong enough to wake the dead. he hated coffee, but he needed this boost for real. "i need more than pajamas, i need like, a new brain or somethin'."

the day dragged on with matt filming bits for their vlog, his heart not in it. he was trying to keep up appearances, but his mind was racing, lost in the haze of sleepless nights. they talked about random crap, from the latest video game drop to chris's newest hoodie design, but matt's responses were half-assed at best.

"matt, you okay?" nick asked during a break, concern piercing through matt's fog.

"yeah, yeah, i'm good. just tired, ya know?" matt forced a smile, but even to him, it felt fake.

the sun set, painting sky in hues of orange and pink, but all matt saw was the dread of another night of tossing and turning. he went through his night routine, hoping tonight would be different.

and... finally, after what felt like an eternity of staring at the ceiling, sleep came, pulling him into a dream so vivid, it was like stepping into another universe. he found himself in a surreal landscape, part urban, part wilderness, with skyscrapers touching the clouds but rooted in a forest floor.

and then he saw her. a girl, with eyes like emeralds and hair that seemed to move with a life of its own. she was there, walking around with an edge of caution to it. she looked at him, her gaze wary, as if she was deciding whether he was friend or foe.

"hey, you lost or somethin'?" matt asked, his accent even more pronounced, making his words sound thick with caution.

"nah, just enjoying the view," she replied, her accent sharp, her tone guarded. "i'm heist, you look like you could use some fun though. but, you know, if you're not up to no good..."

heist... what a weird name. but he brushed it off.

"me? nah, i'm just... tryin' to figure out where i am," matt said, his eyes scanning the dreamscape, half-expecting it to dissolve or change into something less welcoming.

there was a moment of silence, both of them sizing each other up, the air thick with unspoken questions. and without a word, heist turned and ran, her voice echoing in her quick, "gotta go!" her movements were fluid, almost ethereal, as she darted through the dreamscape, blending into the shadows and light.

"hey, wait!" matt called out, his voice a mix of confusion and intrigue.

he chased after her, not out of malice but driven by an inexplicable pull towards this mysterious figure. the chase was like a dance, with heist always one step ahead, her laughter a taunt, a challenge, a melody in the wind.

they weaved through the dream city, up staircases that led nowhere, down alleys that twisted into themselves. every time matt thought he had her, she'd disappear, only to reappear in his peripheral vision, her laughter both a beacon and a warning.

finally, in a moment of stillness, with heist cornered against a dream wall that shimmered like water, they stood there, breathing heavily, their eyes locked in a silent conversation of wariness and curiosity.

"why you runnin'?" matt asked, his voice softer now, the chase having burned away some of his caution.

"why you chasin'?" heist shot back, her tone sharp but her eyes softening just a bit.

but before any answer could be given, the dream world began to dissolve, and matt woke up with a start, his heart racing.

the room was dark, silent, the quiet of Los Angeles outside his window. yet, in his mind, heist's laughter lingered, a reminder of a chase so vivid, it changed everything.

The amount of supportive family/friends in this show brings me life! I especially adore that Fah doesn't have that "I'm an introvert because my parents neglected me" trope. Some people just have a hard time expressing their feelings or tend to be on the quiet side, and I love that the show allowed him to have his personality without acting like it must come from Dark Trauma Origins.

Babe continues to be a superstar. I also appreciate that the thread of their sibling relationship is kept throughout the series and Babe doesn't suddenly evaporate once Rak falls in love. BL sometimes have a way of disappearing their female characters, but Your Sky completely avoids that pitfall.

I knew Rak's friends couldn't stay mad about him lying for long. Behold, the most lethal weapon in the series: Rak's puppy eyes.

Episode Eleven has a lot to unpack... including some cultural nuances that even I wasn't too knowledgeable about (so I had to ask my mom for clarification)

We're heading to Chao Fah Palace (คุ้มเจ้าฟ้า) in the province of Phrae (แพร่) for this episode... which is derivative of the old Lanna Kingdom and its culture. (We spoke a little bit about Lanna traditions when referencing the hairpins in episode five). Lanna territories are now part of modern-day Siam. In Lanna tradition, women were known as ช้างเท้าหลัง (pronounced 'chang tao lahng') which would literally translate into "the hind legs of the elephant". What it meant was that the direction of a woman's life and family were to be guided by the authority of a man, ช้างเท้าหน้า (pronounced 'chang tao nahr') "the front legs of the elephant". The woman must learn to accept her place. Lanna Buddhist tradition would preach that being born as a woman in this life meant you had not earned enough merit to be born a man, and to pray for better karma in the next lifetime. Ironically, before the rise of Buddhism, Lanna was one of the few territories to practice matrilineal succession... where lineage was passed on from mother to daughter.

Both of these beliefs were somewhat knit together for TLP's narrative in regards to Uangfah... which we'll talk about later.

ผ้าซิ่นตีนจก (pronounced 'pa sin tin jok') is a traditional skirt worn by women in Lanna. The skirts are known to have elaborate borders with strips of precious metals woven together, with spun gold or silver threads, by using a traditional loom. This technique emphasizes the beauty and value of the weaving, as well as the social status of the person wearing the skirt. The garment was generally reserved for high-ranking members of society.

Another practice steeped in Lanna tradition, is the art of making ตุง (pronounced 'toong'). In the northern dialect, this refers to a type of flag used in Lanna art and Buddhist ceremonies. The flags, adorned with various patterns and designs, are used to mark the boundaries of sacred sites as a symbol of the pathway toward enlightenment.

The series highlighted the Phra That Cho Hae Temple (พระธาตุช่อแฮ), which has rich history as a spiritual center and the most sacred Buddhism site in Phrae. Its highlight is the brass wrapped pagoda that stands 33 meters tall, which enshrines holy relics of Lord Buddha.

The Peacock Feather Dance (รำฟ้อนหางนกยูง - pronounced 'ram faan haang nohk-yuung') is a cultural piece of entertainment that sees dancers move in a circle and change positions in order to imitate the movements and courtship "dance" of a peacock. The dancers wear traditional northern costumes while holding peacock feathers. Known for its striking appearance, the peacock holds deep cultural and religious significance in Thailand. It is often associated with the ideas of beauty, royalty, prosperity, and spiritual awakening.

We are introduced to Uangfah's mother this episode. Princess Dararai holds the title of หม่อมเจ้าหญิง (mom-jao ying or M.C.) for being married to a descendant of the king. Princess Dararai wishing for her daughter to remain close to her after marriage has inklings of matrilineal customs, where the husband would typically come to live with the wife's family... and not the other way around.

The suitor Princess Dararai has chosen for her daughter to marry is Lord Muang-Rahm. Muang-Rahm holds the tilte of หม่อมราชวงศ์ (mom rat-cha-wong or M.R.) as a child of one "commoner" parent, but whose ancestry can be traced back to the king.

Uangfah has accepted the fact the she must submit to her mother's wishes and marry a man she does not care for (he's truly terrible... lesbi-honest). It's a bittersweet moment where we realize the realities of a woman who cannot openly pursue the love of another woman, given the views of society.

The proceeding conversation Uangfah has with Muang-Rahm is subtlety indicative of Lanna women who were in charge in their own relationships. Uangfah quietly inserts her authority over their future courtship by informing Muang-Rahm of her intentions to not wed straight away AND by addressing him by his nickname in front of Pia. Given his behavior, Muang-Rahm knows he cannot say anything untoward in order to save face... such a fun scene.

SHE KNOWS!!! The facial expressions 😂😂😂... you have to laugh

Anil and Pin have become more reckless the more comfortable they have become in their relationship... and that spells trouble ahead.

3. Song Jioh as Choi Yuna [SEMANTIC ERROR] (she's actually my girlfriend)

4. First Kanaphan as Alan Anantachai [MOONLIGHT CHICKEN] (i thought it would be way too hypocritical of me if i didn't put a first character in this list simply bc i'm in love with this man. also, i hope he gets more roles where he's older bc it adds that little something, it's great)

5. Sarocha Burin as Kat [THE WARP EFFECT] (the warp effect was one of the first five thai shows i've watched. she changed my life)

Thoughts on things, Episode 3.

Revisiting art???

I recently re-discovered one of my favourite artists I learned about in my under-grad, it was during my last year in a class, FAH 385, Modern and Contemporary in India, since graduating two years ago I have been so burnt out about talking about art but I have missed it, two years after I graduated there is weirdly a hole left by the art I learned. SO here is a cute little art analysis of one of my favourite artists.

Amrita Sher-Gil was a pioneering Indian painter and one of the most influential artists of the early 20th century. Born in 1913 in Hungary to a Punjabi father and Hungarian mother, she was deeply influenced by both Western and Indian artistic traditions.

Amrita Sher-Gil’s artistic journey is fascinating, starting with her time in Paris where her work was deeply influenced by Western styles. You can see this clearly in her early gestural, naturalistic forms that have a strong post-impressionist touch. Even when she returned to India, these Western elements lingered in her brushstrokes. But her art evolved. Gradually, she embraced Indian influences, and this transformation was not just in her art but also in her personal life. She began wearing saris regularly, stepping away from Western clothing to identify more with Indian culture.

What makes Sher-Gil’s work stand out is her unique position—straddling the Indian and European worlds. Unlike many Indian artists of her time who were delving into traditional styles to evoke national identity, she brought together her European training and Indian sensibilities to create something deeply personal. Take her painting Woman Resting on Charpoy for example. It’s a deeply introspective piece that speaks volumes about identity, belonging, and isolation.

The scene unfolds indoors, framed by light ochre walls and a dark, almost oppressive black-brown floor. There’s a simplicity to the setting—bare walls, a lone table holding a pitcher and cup—allowing the focus to rest entirely on the two women in the painting. The woman reclining on the charpoy is striking. Her red sari and head covering stand out dramatically against her darker skin, which contrasts further with the white sheet draped over the bed. The charpoy itself, with its vivid red legs, almost seems to cage her within its structure. Above her sits an older woman in a soothing seafoam green sari, fanning her with a crisp white fan. Their expressions are subdued, introspective, and filled with an almost tangible quiet. They seem disconnected from the viewer, locked in their own private worlds.

Sher-Gil’s use of color, form, and even silence feels deliberate. The Mughal miniature influence is clear in her flat figures and detailed linework, blending Indian traditions with her Western training. She wasn’t just inspired by the physical materials around her, but also by the cultural and philosophical tensions of being both Indian and European. This duality is central to her work and identity. Her art, like her life, often feels like a conversation about belonging—about being caught between two worlds.

In Woman Resting on Charpoy, the viewer is drawn into the scene, almost trapped within the three walls of the room alongside the women. Their downcast gazes and stillness evoke a quiet companionship. It’s as if the painting whispers a shared secret about isolation and introspection. This theme runs through much of Sher-Gil’s later work. She captured not just the physical presence of her subjects but their emotional and psychological depths.

Another example is The Bride, where a woman dressed in vivid red stands isolated against an ochre wall. There’s a striking similarity to the woman in Charpoy, almost as if they are the same figure at different moments in life. This thread of introspection, of capturing personal and collective struggles, is what makes Sher-Gil’s work timeless. Her art feels human, alive, and deeply personal, portraying Indian subjects not as idealized symbols but as real people with stories, struggles, and identities. This blend of Eastern and Western elements, of individuality and universality, is what solidifies her legacy as one of India’s most impactful artists

you  guys  !!  i  came  acorss  this  thread  on  twtr  about   thai   celebrities  who  have  said  or  at  least  their  companies  have  shared  that  they  don’t  want  to  be  used  on  roleplays  or  create  virtual  personality.  you  can  refer  to  this  link  .  some  are  translated  to  english  but  most  are  not  but  you  can  use  google  translate  for  that  🤭. here are some of the celebrities i often see:

fah yongwaree

tu tontawan

love pattranite

kunyarat piploy

korapat kirdpan

milk pansa vosbein

bright vachirawit chivaaree

it  says  the  pics  can  only  be  used  for  fan  accounts  to  promote  them  but  not  to  borrow  their  image  and  create  virtual  personality  while  some  explicitly  said  roleplay  .  sooooo  …..  interpret  it  as  you  want .  but  i  could  also  be  mistaken  so  someone  correct  me  dumbass .  the  thread  is  linked   🤭 🤭

[honorunsung-blog]

@visioncrone started following you

“DO YOU NEED anything else, my Jarl?” Dahlia looked to the older woman after she bowed, standing straight. The Nord customs of jarls and the like were new to a bosmer like herself, but she was learning. Beyond that, assisting the various jarls gave her more reason to travel, which was something she always loved. And lending a helping hand whenever possible was simply something she was taught to do, unlike some of her companions.

The Warp Effect Ep 12 (Finale) Stray Thoughts

The week of finales continues! I was forever changed by My School President. Will this show change me as well?

Last time, things finally came to a head at Jedi and Rose's wedding, which used prom as its theme. Jedi and Rose continued to make me believe in long term romance. See-ew committed the cardinal sin of proposing at someone's wedding. Mollie and Nim managed to reconcile a bit. Joe and Army danced in public, and are building their romance. Alex learned that the sex ed teacher was his bio dad and refused to forgive him for abandoning his mom. Alex tried to reconcile with Jean, but Jean refused. Kat is hanging out with Tony now. Alex learned that the camera came from his bio dad.

As always, so much happens on this show.

I do enjoy the sci-fi conceits of someone experiencing this huge period of time, and then returning to an earlier moment. Everyone else being so confused amuses me.

I also like Alex immediately going to reassure his little brother.

Clize and Sing are so funny together. I hope we see them paired again.

Alex getting ahead of the Mollie issue by kissing her himself is unexpected, but makes sense to keep it from becoming a rift between Nim and Mollie.

Oh, Alex, please don't out Army and Joe.

Yep, they're still closeted jocks, so yeah that's definitely the same outcome.

Jojo definitely likes Kill Bill, Vol. 2.

I love Jedi and Rose so much. Mark and Best look so comfortable together.

Have we not learned our lessons about drinking too much??

Jojo, why have you joined the ranks of people forcing me to witness vomit??

Ah, nice. Shielding the gays is the right move.

I swear if Jean gets expelled still because of these photos....

Fah is also so funny. She actually works really well with New. Cutting off the music when she passes out was fantastic comedic timing.

Alex is still a people pleaser, but I like him being confident about helping people.

I actually like the chemistry between New and Fah a lot.

I'm never getting over the BTS clip where Clize slaps Sing so hard that he walked away stunned.

This elevator make out competition is peak Jojo. Best, Clize, Mark, and Sing are so amazing.

It's a bit contrived, but I really like how far a little earnest validation is carrying all of these couples.

Even Sarran gets a nod.

Oh, I do love creating the intro at the end.

Absolutely comedic poses for Jean and Alex's consensual first time. Still, that was much nicer than what happened originally.

This friend group is honestly impressive if they all not only stayed in their pairs, they also remained friends for a decade.

Kinda hope Alex gets the memories of the better ten years and doesn't have to piece those together too.

Final Verdict: 10, Highly Recommended. This show was an absolute delight from start to finish. I cannot overstate how impressive it is that this show remained legible despite the sheer volume of threads it was managing. This show managed to be funny and sexy, while still continuing the mission to make people more comfortable with their bodies and aware of their own sexual health. It also managed to accomplish those educational goals without feeling like an after school special. It's also the queerest show we've gotten to enjoy in quite some time. I'd say in some ways it cared more about queer issues than some of the BLs we've watched. Please watch and enjoy this.

[dayslily]

regarding the twitter thread about thai celebrities & their stance on being used for rp (thread / original post), i thought it might be helpful to point of that when they say bot they are referring to roleplaying & mage seems to refer to catfishing / leading people to believe you are the person in the photos.  bot seems to explicitly reference the style of roleplaying where you write as the celebrity themselves,  but i think it would be most respectful to leave them out of rping altogether.

a lot of oc rps on tumblr are most similar to fanfics/aus that they reference in that thread.  if they’re asking not to be used in fanfics,  you probably shouldn’t use them as your original characters either.

i know a lot of the statements in that thread haven’t been translated,  but if you see “bot” or “mage”,  you should probably stop using them as an fc.

examples of definite no’s would be fah yongwaree and love pattranite.  (and 90% of the other people on the list)

on the other hand,  bright vachirawit’s statement seems to refer to banning the use of his face to mislead people or hurt his reputation.  if u translate this tweet,  it says,  “Additional for bright, namely: He may be used as long as it does not damage the image, create misunderstanding, or harm bright's party.”  so to me that would be an example of a yes unless further statements about it come out.

edited to add:  they also linked a carrd in that thread that seems to only list the definite no’s,  if that’s helpful!

second edit:  pinkfaire posted a translation of the thread and a list that’s much easier to scroll through! it looks like everyone on the list except bright has asked to not be used for rp purposes.

10 Best Kisses in Thai BL 

Type kissing Tharn after playing with his hair in TharnType - Type’s emotional agency and affection finally come out in this kiss from probably the kissiest couple in all BL 

Dean kissing Pharm for the first time in Until We Meet Again - it’s a goddam icon with that red thread and the way Pharm’s arms sneak around Dean’s neck 

Fighter kissing Tutor on the rooftop after the countdown in Why R U? - the symbolism of Fighter being blinded to his own sexual identity and then admitting it to Tutor outright after the kiss, gah 

King kissing Ram in a drunken rage at the end of My Engineer - flipping heck, such a good kiss, then the way Ram takes it over and turns it back on him, you know Ram is going to be an intense lover, it’s his only way of communicating 

Win & Tops kissing each other after their hug in Ingredients the series - the only mutual on this list, neither initiates, it just happens and it’s so cute + the way each character reacts is so pitch perfect 

Forth kissing Beam in the hospital bed in 2 Moons 2 - Forth’s aggression is so well done in 2m2, and it suits friends-to-lovers so much better than other romance tropes because Beam knows exactly what kind of person Forth is and this kiss is him finally accepting that  

Tul kissing Hin after 20 odd years of wanting to in Love By Chance 2 - they have so little screen time and such killer chemistry, I wonder sometimes if they were left to the wayside because TinCan comes off as utterly flat by comparison 

Mark kissing Kit’s neck after he was injured in Gen Y - I know it’s not a lip kiss but neck kisses are a personal favorite and SO RARE in BL that I’m sticking it in, I do love their aggressive kinky bitting kisses, but this is the first really tender one 

Pete grabbing and dragging Kao back to kiss in Dark Blue Kiss - my favorite thing about PeteKao is that Tay and New manage to portray a legitimate LTR and this kiss is a perfect example of that 

The final kiss between Sarawat & Tine in Still 2gether - we all waited a really really long time and it was perfectly done, also seeing Tine with sexual agency was, frankly, a relief 

For me the kiss needs to have emotion underpinning it, as well as a chemical draw, and a physical appeal. I need to sense that these two characters genuinely like each other in all three ways. 

I ran into an interesting video once about actors kissing and what makes for a good screen kiss. There’s chemistry, of course, but there is also something in the way the two have to breathe with (and kind of into) each other. Like a synchronized dance. When I harp on about actors and physicality this is part of that.

So I based my picks are based on seeing 

emotional + physical + chemical

all represented on screen together. 

As such, you will notice some vacancies.

Honorable mention to: 

Kong & Arthit’s first kiss in SOTUS for Kong’s little smile. Krist & Singto have good emotional and chemical connection but I never got any physical chemistry from them. I still love SOTUS because I just pretend they’re ace, but it does impact their kisses. 

Ae & Pete’s first kiss in the car in Love By Chance because of the raw awkwardness and the sweet conversation that surrounds it. I love these two best in all BL, but while Saint gives us all three, I rarely get physical from Perth. While this works under context of the narrative, it’s a reason none of their kisses made my top 10. 

Missing Babies

Phun & Noh in Love Sick are one of my all time favorite pairs, but aside from one off-cut kiss (when Noh grabs Phun in the hotel room) they mostly don’t and when they do it’s not good. Same with Fuse & Tea in Make it Right. I suspect this is mostly to do with the fact that the actors were minors at the time.

You all know I LOVE Oxygen, but I don’t think Slo & Gui ever gave the necessary physicality, much as I adore their emotional resonance. Similarly, while I LOVE Can kissing Tin in front of everyone on the football field, the two actors have no chemistry. Sorry, that’s just how i feel. 

It does deserve to be mentioned though, because it is the only public ownership kiss we have in BL. (It’s an EXTREMELY common trope in western het romances of course - it comes from “kiss the bride” ownership.) 

Top 3 Not Thai BL Kisses 

1. Hsia Yu Hao & Qiu Zi Xuan and their amazing net kiss in HIStory 2: Crossing the Line. Just, so stylish. I limited myself to Thai BL only, because otherwise I would have had to include this kiss and bump someone else out of top 10, and I just couldn’t stand the idea. But yeah, these two demonstrate a perfect execution of emotional + chemical + physical in short form drama, and they have to be acknowledged for that achievement. 

2. We Best Love’s Shi Yi kissing Shi De for the first time. I don’t have a good screen cap of Shu Yi’s confession kiss but it’s so good, it hits all three elements but manages to also have pining, frustration, realization, hope, fear, and competition elements. They are both crying and they lean into each other in a way that’s both gentle, loving, and desperate. 

3. The final kiss in To My Star between Seo Joon and Ji Woo is the the only Korea-made BL to make this list (no big surprises there). Korea and Japan are notorious for the “dead fish peck kiss” which is almost a “why bother at all?” situation (to be fair it’s not just BL but all romances). What TMS did was play on that expectation. It gave us several of these sad little kisses, and then twisted it so we could see that they were all the result of Ji Woo’s walls, and that after those walls crumble he is soft and sweet and all the attraction is mutual. It did that by giving us a truly beautiful last kiss that used emotional + physical + chemical combined with teasing affection (a bit like Sarawat & Tine’s final kiss in Still 2gether). TMS is one of those BLS that REALLY benefits from rewatching, and the kissing is only one aspect of that. 

Okay, that’s it. Who’d I forget? 

(I should note that H3: Trapped, Manner of Death, Long Time No See are not on the list because I don’t consider them BL.) 

New entrants: 

Second Chance kiss between Fah and Paper in ep 3 is just so full of tea angst and anxiety. It’s a pitch perfect YA style first kiss. 

Self doing a deep dive in what makes for a good kiss in BL from a watcher’s perspective. Too much details? Is there ever?

everyone deserves a fresh start — especially the residents of hawkins, indiana . some are beginning to question if the town is cursed but an unlucky few know the truth about the seemingly - quaint town . after being plagued by tragedy and defeating the mind flayer , everyone is hoping that their suffering has come to an end ... but living in hawkins is never that easy . despite the current lull , they can only wonder if the chaos is finally over or if what’s to come could be worse than what they’ve conquered in the past .

a b o u t

tw: murder

malai's life before being turned into a vampire could only be described as... unfortunate. orphaned at a young age, she was picked up by an organization that didn't see her as a person but rather as a tool.

she was raised to be a special agent of sorts but it wasn't as glamorous as one would think. the dangerous missions we went on, ( assassinations, black mailings, seductions, gathering intel ) were all done simply for her to be able to have enough to eat. she wasn't a person. she was a weapon and an awfully effective one until a certain mission went wrong and she was left for dead.

that was when she was turned.

becoming a vampire was the best thing to happen to her. no longer was she defenseless. no longer did she have to be a pawn in someone else's game. no longer did her worth have to come from how useful she could be.

with her newfound independence and power, it was difficult for her to hold back on her innate desire to hunt. grew quite fond of it too. the violence. the fear.

malai's bloodlust goes beyond feeding. to put it simply... she's a serial killer your honor. she has zero regard for human lives and only sees them as playthings.

as a nomad, she doesn't have any rhyme or reason for going to the places she goes to but one thing is certain -- she leaves every city with less of a population than when she arrived.

things are a little different in forks though. malai has only been in town for about a day or two and with the volturi, the shapeshifters, and the witches, malai is definitely going to be on her best behavior. for now at least.

she had always been attracted to the arts -- specifically in painting. it wasn't until she was turned that she was able to truly evolve her work. when malai is feeling dramatic, or when she really likes her victims, she sometimes will use them as a medium for her art. think rikako oryou from psycho pass. of course, that type of worK is left anonymous. she does have public work, which sometimes gets displayed in art exhibits. her artist name is FAH, which means blue in thai. a little throwback to what her favorite color used to be before she turned into a vampire lol

p o w e r

intangibly. the ability to phase through physical matter.

malai is a tricky woman to catch thanks to her gift. the ability for her to walk through walls makes her the perfect rogue because she always has an entry and always has an exit. it's near impossible to physically detain her. over the years she's honed her skill so that she can phase for longer ( up to three hours ) and for her to phase with objects. the past century or so, she has been working on being able to phase with someone else.

weaknesses - her gift requires her to concentrate so she is unable to phase through attacks she doesn't see coming or if she's mentally unable to ( like if someone uses a mental ability on her ).

c o n n e c t i o n s

ex ➔ i have a wc for this is the main but basically they were partners in crime and broke it off at some point. maybe they were obsessed with each other. maybe they just used each other. maybe there was love but it wasn't enough to stand behind malai's bloodlust. ( open to any species aside from human )

fixation ➔ her current obsession. malai isn't a quick killer. she likes to take her time. to seduce her target. play around with them a little. ( open to a human ) bonus. someone who is determined to protect this human from becoming malai's victim but how can they do that without exposing what they are? ( open to any species aside from human )

meet your maker ➔ the person that turned them! we can plot out their dynamic a little more but i think it would be fun if the person who created her was vegetarian and maybe lowkey regrets turning her jksdjkjdf ( open to a vampire or an og vampire over 300 years old )

practice ➔ someone who is also looking to develop their gift. they practice together and maybe also spar just to keep things fun and interesting. ( open to gifted vampires )

culture exchange lol ➔  as far as vampires go, malai is still young. she hasn't had a chance to interact with species other than humans and vampires so she's definitely curious to learn more. ( open to witches, shapeshifters, children of the moon )

recruitment➔ maybe someone interested in having her join their coven. ( open to members of a coven )

cat and mouse game ➔ when it comes to the hunt, malai usually ends up taking the role of hunter. she wouldn't be lying if she said she didn't enjoy being chased too though. i'm thinking maybe this person is someone who wants to stop malai from continuing her destructive path or maybe someone who just wants to catch her to prove to her that she isn't invincible as she thinks she is. ( open to immortals. )

art enthusiast ➔ someone who is a fan of her art of maybe even an artist themselves. utp if theyre a fan of her family friendly work or her psycho shit lol

i have wcs in her pinterest as well!

Chapter 1

"Fah! Good riddance!" Skitskurr cursed their names as he drifted, his weave sectioned off. He had finally been set adrift by the other Weavers. Tired of him! Always getting in his way! They would never be satisfied.

First they tell him to stop his weaving. Didn't like his style! His machinations too creative for them! Despite the offense Skitrskur obliged; he would cease.

So he did. He watched his weave unfold naturally. He found joy in the unbridled growth, being left alone was a nice bonus. Of course, that didn't last long. Soon the others berated him for neglect! 

"Messy!" "Out of control!" 

Damned if he does something damned if he doesn't! To Hell with them! They decided he was more trouble than he was worth and cut him eight out of the Loom.

If exile meant he didn't have to deal with any of them again he would welcome it with open arms.

Skitskurr turned to the shreds of his weave. His work....

The other Weavers weren't gentle when they sectioned him off. His weave was torn, tangled, and clumped. He skittered around taking inventory. What could he salvage?

A nearby clump. So many ideas, smashed together; it hardly resembled the originals. He cut it out, gingerly snipping his thread. He held the clump aloft.

Skitskurr couldn't bring himself to destroy it or cast it away! Despite it all this was still his work! He would be better than the other Weavers.

Skitskurr began a new section of his weave, a temporary home for his ruined works. He attached the clump and returned to the rest.

Skitskurr resumed his work with diligence. A careful snip here, a gentle pull there, and when he looked closer he realized it wasn't as bad as he had initially thought!

His work continued feverously. Some of his weave was so destroyed that he couldn't salvage any of it. He paused for a moment of silence before consuming the meager shreds. The least he could do was reuse the materials; that his prior work might live on still, if only in spirit.

Skitskurr worked for some time, but time holds a different meaning for a Weaver. Eons and seconds are almost identical depending on how you look at it.

He glanced back to the void. He could no longer see the Great Loom. He felt a lump in his throat and a tear trickled down his face. He gave silent thanks that he was at least allowed to cry. He figured most bugs wouldn't get that privilege. He made a mental note to include tear ducts in any insectoid beings he created.

The moment of silence stretched, but as many things do, it ended. Skitskurr had work to do. He reached down and selected a vestige of his work. You could barely call this a shred. It had been one of his favorites.

Space swirled and time dilated as Skitskurr entered the minuscule fragment that remained of his work...
