This Week in BL
July 2021 Wk 3
Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs.
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
Golden Blood Ep 4 - yay, my favorite part of any bodyguard romance: the homoerotic self defense classes! Many cute tropes in this episode like hand holds, high-low hugs, sleep facing. Also I am really starting to like the side couple. Super flirty sunshine meets mock-tsundere is a new favorite. I’m enjoying this show! It’s pretty much Thailand’s take on Where Your Eyes Linger and there is NOTHING wrong with that since it’s so much more cheerfully gay. (Nothing against WYEL, it’s just a different style and aesthetic.) 
My Boy the series Ep 3 -  there is a LOT of punching down humor especially where femme, trans, and women are concerned. AND I’m finding it duller than dishwater. I might drop it. 
The Yearbook Ep 1 - it’s fine, I guess. It’s riding hard on the leads and I’m not sure they are strong enough to carry it. It’s not off-putting. It’s not on-putting either. 
Tumblr media
The Best Story Ep 2 - endearingly awkward and cute. Best’s friends are great and War gives pretty heart eyes. He’s not bad on the guitar either, so the sing your feelings could have been A LOT worse. (I still fast-forwarded though. I’m not a masochist. ) No idea what that note was about but with these two, it’s all still very cute. 
Tumblr media
Top Secret Together Ep 10 - I like the new couple, can we keep them? No one is surprise by the “not brothers” revelation, and if you were, I am VERY disappointed in you and all my efforts on tropes and romance arcs is for naught. NAUGHT, I TELL YOU. (See? Stepbrothers it’s so bad, it could be much worse.) Where was I? Oh right the “he’s too young to understand” conceit is stupid. Meanwhile, my babies are back in form and got a ton of screen time. This was the CopyNampu show and I am quite happy with that. They are such boyfriends, I don’t know why they’re pretending they aren’t, doesn’t fool anyone. 
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Ossan’s Love (Hong Kong) Eps 8-9 - honestly Tin elevates disaster bi to a whole new level of disaster, like 3 Stooges level. Siu Muk is just about the cutest little muffin ever, and if Tin hurts him, ooooo, I’ll be mad. I have to say the wardrobe for this drama is quirky as all goddamn get up. Their knitwear game is wild. 
Friend or Lover (Taiwan) Ep 4 fin- I guess that’s it? If so, it has a sad ending. If there is more, MDL isn’t saying that. So under this context? NOT RECOMMENDED. 
Be Loved in House: I Do (Taiwan) Ep 10 - future cafe dad side dishes got a lot of screen time, meanwhile our main couple were tiny idiots. Next week is episode 11 and I think we can expect a bit of trauma drama, but everything is so low stakes in this show it hardly matters. I love this series but it is kinda like the lite beer to the HIStory franchise’s coffee stout. 
Tumblr media
Given (Japan) Ep 1 - this is an adaptation of the anime (which came from a yaoi manga and i really wasn’t into either), but they are condensing it into only six 25 min episodes so maybe that will help? This is a high school rock star romance featuring the boy with the magic voice and the hot grumpy guitarist. I have to say IT’S OFF TO A GREAT START. And boy am I glad we are getting something from Japan this year! I missed their style of BL. Makes me very nostalgic and I might have to rewatch Seven Days now. 
Monster in Law AKA Mẹ Chồn Dâu Cáo (Vietnam) Ep 13 - on hiatus? Or? We not sure. 
Tumblr media
Light On Me (Korea) Ep 5-6 - OMG SO AWKWARD. Why does it have to be so awkward? Stupid adorable shy inept soft boys. ARGH. Tropes are starting to pile up: symmetrical stare, uncomfortably close distance (lapel grab variant), catch me, baby is clumsy and weak, messy eater, heart knows, etc... Also I have decided TaeKyung falls into the adorable bean nugget category. The bit where he touches his own face after a tiny cheek caress just because no one had given him any physical affection in so long, broke my flipping heart. Poor baby. And we are getting a solid little love triangle going, so DRAMA is coming. Or what amounts to it in K-BL.
Tumblr media
(Tell us about it, stud.) 
In Case You Missed It
Rakutan did a massive take down serve on YouTube so if you were getting your Taiwanese and Korean BL there (HIStory, Color Rush, Seven Days, etc), it’s mostly been removed. Some of it is still on Viki though... which would appear the be the point. 
We Best Love No 1 For You completed it’s special reissue run. I caught a little bit of the extra footage, some came from the Pei Shou Yi special and they tagged the full break-up onto the end. But there is very very little that we haven’t seen before. The rips are a slightly better quality than pervious, if that means anything to you. 
Tumblr media
I noticed this background rainbow for the first time, at Gao Shi De’s mom’s place, she references the paintings that Gao Shi De does inspired by Zhou Shu Yi and I wonder if this is one of them. 
Super cute Thai BL microfilm Once in Memory. 17 minutes of charming, high school set, very winning, well written, and excellent flirting. Nothing major, all we get is a hand hold but it’s well earned. It’s supposedly getting a second installment of the same content from the POV of the other character. RECOMMENDED. 
Tumblr media
Breaking News
KinnPorsche is back on, with the writer rejoining the team? I don’t know. I do know writers throw hissy fits a lot (the natural consequence of surrounding an introvert with extroverted drama geeks). I’m calm. I’ll be happy if it happens and untroubled if it doesn’t. 
Singto rumored to be leaving GMMTV. Still going to do Baker Boys. 
OffGun Not Me update here. They’re workshopping, production is delayed, won’t release until after September. 
Peach of Time dropped a making of BTS but it acts a lot more like a long trailer and it looks GOOD. Like really good: Korean production values with Thai talent (Mii2 AKA JimmyTommy). I’m suddenly super excited about it. I highly recommend watching the BTS as I think it gives better insight than the original teaser. And it looks like they are filming which means they got funded, so this one might really happen. Mixed languages, mostly Korean & Thai but also a little English & Japanese. 
Tumblr media
This is not the first co-funded co-acted BL venture: Call It What You Want was a Thailand & Taiwan joint project (language: Thai), and Present Still Perfect was Thailand & Japan (language: Thai, Japanese, English). There’s also Because of You which is Taiwanese but one actor is/speaks Korean and another is bilingual. (Ask me how much I want a joint Taiwan+Japan project? SO MUCH.) 
Next Week Looks Like This:
Some shows may be listed later than actual air date for International subs accessibility reasons. 
Tumblr media
Upcoming 2021 BL master post here.
Links to watch are provided when possible, ask in a comment if I missed something.

Rockabye - Missing Scene that no one asked for but I wrote anyway...ENJOY
Joe and Ben have sex for the first time after getting pregnant with Clara (Joe is around 6 months)
“Ben. Anyone besides me ever tell you how good you are with your hands?” Joe questions with a hum, 6 months pregnant and being jerked off in the middle of the living room by his newly labeled boyfriend, Ben.
Most nights turned into this. Dinner. Maybe a movie. Long chats about life and the future for their baby girl. One of them would touch the other in such a way that got their hands roaming and tongues tangling.
Even though Joe was carrying their child, they were only dating. They were still in the honeymoon stage. It was all so new and they couldn’t stop. As nights like these reached a dozen, Ben had a feeling that Joe was still very closed off. He never took his shirt off while Ben had no qualms in stripping in front of the ginger. He’d let Joe touch every bit of him. And there was Joe, exposing his below but nothing else. He would keep on his jeans if he wasn’t so damn uncomfortable with them around his legs.
“Joe.” Ben stops his hand jerks.
“Ben...why did you stop?” Joe licks his lips, obviously lost in the pleasure Ben was giving him.
“I want to touch you. More.” Ben says simply.
“You have your hand on my dick. That’s second base.”
“Why not more?”
“Oh, I don’t know. Because I’m six months pregnant.”
“Yes...and?”
“And actually that’s it, dingus. I’m fucking pregnant. Now can you get on with jerking me off or do I have to finish by myself?” Joe was obviously agitated but not mad. More frustrated it seemed than anything.
“I want to do more than that.”
“Why? We’re boyfriends now. And I’m kissing you.And you are jerking me off. Isn’t that enough for you?”
Ben cocks his head from the side, “Is that really enough for you?”
Joe scrunched his face up in frustration, “N--yes. Yes it is.”
Ben gazes a thumb over the tip of Joe’s cock. It drips and Ben takes the tiny bit of liquid and brings it to his lips. Joe groans, obviously even more turned on than a second ago. “If this is enough...than why do I come over most evenings to you in the shower...calling out my name?”
“Can’t a man have a wet jerk in the shower, asshole?”
“What do you think about...when you call out my name exactly?”
“This. Mostly.” Joe replies with a blank face.
“You’re lying.” Ben gives him another jerk and Joe grunts.
“Argh...Ben! What the fuck do you want me to say? That I want you to take me from behind ‘till I’m sore in the morning? Is that what you want?”
“Yes. And I’d be willing to give it to you.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.” Ben leans forward, giving Joe a smacking kiss and then pulling away. “But I would like to face you, if you don’t mind.”
“Fucking...fine. Do whatever.” Joe pulls back, re-positioning himself so that he was lying down on the couch.
“No. On the bed.”
“You want fucking everything don’t you.” Even though Joe argues, he still gets up and heads to the bedroom. Ben walks close behind, pulling his shirt off in the midst. 
Joe gets up on the bed slowly, going to rest his body partially on the headrest. “Alright. I’m here.”
“I can see that.” Ben continues to strip as he heads to the bed, “Now the jumper.”
“Sweatshirt.”
“Jumper.”
“If I take this off, baby girl will get cold and wake up.”
Ben rolled his eyes, “Don’t bullshit me. I won’t touch you there or look down if that’s your issue.”
“My issue? Not wanting you to see my body is my issue?!” Joe juts forward, baring his teeth though he was still hard. Somehow the now heated conversation wasn’t completing turning him off.
“Yes it is. Because I don’t give a shit.” 
“Oh bull fucking shit. Men who look like you always fucking do.”
“Joe…” Ben can sense that all of his comments come from a very dark place. A very sensitive place that Ben is still cracking. He wants to be closer to Joe. Wants to love him even as he is already in love with their baby girl. But he’s just as stubborn as he is sometimes.
“Shit, Benny. That was shit of me. I’m sorry.”
Ben does not back down because of Joe’s comment. In fact, he inches closer on the bed. Joe apologizes and reacts by finally taking off his jumper and undershirt. He is still attractive. Yes, there’s a mound at the center of his stomach and his hips look slightly fuller, but he’s still as hot and masculine as ever, in Ben’s view, that is. “Can you lay down for me, love?”
Joe nods, sliding down, his legs close together and bent, his cock still stiff, resting on his elevated stomach. 
Ben walks up, eventually hovering over Joe. The ginger doesn’t let him wait much longer. Instead of letting Ben soak in Joe’s beauty, Joe pulled him in for a deep kiss. 
They stayed like this until Ben’s clear reaction to this moment became obviously against Joe’s thigh. “Oh. Someone’s ready.” Joe chuckled lightly against Ben’s lips.
“I’m going to open you up first...yeah?” Joe nods but doesn’t move. 
“You might have to...umm..roll on over. Works out better that way. Good angle to make you feel good too.”
Joe was hesitant but complied at first, shifting until he was on all fours. Ben stretched his body over to grab the lube from the nightstand when Joe’s breathing began to hitch. “You all right, love?”
Ben was lathering his fingers up when Joe shakes his head feverishly, rolling back over. “I’m sorry I can’t.”
“Yes. Alright.” Joe was obviously shaken up, but he seemed obviously into it until this point. Ben stops what he is doing, thinking that, well, they got this far. Perhaps next time they will go all the way.
Joe groans, glancing down at Ben’s lubed up fingers. “Fuck...no. I mean. We can do this but...I don’t feel comfortable. In that position….right now.”
Ben listens, nodding as Joe agrees to roll back over and have a pillow under his back and bottom to prop him enough for Ben to open him up enough. 
And he does. Ben works slowly, taking in all shifts in his finger positioning that make Joe groan and hitch - make his breathing quicken and asking for more. 
It only takes two fingers for Joe to beg Ben to take him. Ben asked the ginger what position he would be most comfortable with. That wouldn’t set him off. Finally, Ben was able to convince Joe to have one leg up and the other around the curve of his back. 
Joe apologizes immensely for how quick it lasts. After all, it has been over six months and Joe tries afterwards that, when Ben was inside of him, that everything suddenly became electrified. That it did not feel anything like before. It was so much better. 
“I did not last much longer either, love. It’s alright.” Ben is panting, sweat on his chest and his dick wet with excess cum. He didn’t use a condom because he didn’t need to and that only made him and Joe feel even more electrified with pleasure.
“Oh, shit. I knew we’d wake her up.” Joe laughs, placing a hand on his stomach. 
Ben leans up and places a quick kiss on Joe’s stomach before coming over with a wet cloth and cleaning them both up. “How can you make this moment hot and cute at the same time?”
“I can’t. You are just describing yourself, love.” Bean beams.
“Oh shut up.”
“Sod off.”
“Whatever. Now get back over here you Brit or wanker or whatever.” Ben giggles cheekily in response, taking no time to climb back on top of Joe and give him the sweetest kiss, believing that this was a time called for placing a gentle hand on Joe’s stomach, as a hello to his daughter and a comforting hand to his dear boyfriend.

The Clone Wars     The Zillo Beast Strikes Back
         (Season 2 Episode 19)
I really thought the first episode     was surprisingly good and I hope the     quality     con-      tin     ue s;
           Moving on;                         Cost   ly-                Recap,       getting real deep                 into the details                   ......              Good     that shows commitment to the story                       ..     And      attention to the (good) details 
               . .                      [Also how yeah are they going to transport that     beast?]
                Who said spent a little more time     explaining it to       the natives          [Why   they needed a dead    beast]
         Still good                 still good,
          Pretty
         Okay
“Tensions       Run         high,”
Hey,    that’s      a       reasonable    reaction,
   (They’re going to put extra   security     on it?)
  How long   till it breaks out.
[I mean thing   might look tiny]
Look at all those        buildings
     [also this will be a nice   scale
 We really didn’t   get much of it
On the   desert planet
 Cause there were no buildings around
  After the   destruction
  (Neat      Detail-)
That one trooper’s      really excited
You think you want to be a   zoo-logist?
Neat
Spiky and big       but sleepy
Uhm.     (Cute)
(Oh you stop with that death music it’s     adorable)
As are most animals
Though that’s likely     more so      anticipation music        . .        So it’s Fine
      But just look at       ‘em,
Ador-able       !
(I’m sorry I cannot take this     seriously with him sleeping     so peacefully)
Good    for        ‘em
  *em
[Oh yeah      [just]       bring the     Chancellor here.
 Is he going to get     Donkey     Kong-ed?         i’m sorry     but just the idea.     .
Of Sidious     held hostage      By a   giant beast,      On top of     a building..
It’s just so     hilarious.
(Not to mention his     force lightning      powers)     Baby      [An-imal]      Possib     ly        .     Okay,      Right,       Why would      they     stop.
 Aight         —-         Okay           -         Good      Ideas           -     A-ight.
   Whelp,          Good
     Uhm,        Right,
  Okay     ,
  Now,     Right,
Wh-       Elp,  
 Uhm,     Okay,
Right,
Nice
Okay
Chancellor      isn’t having it
Look    
Tumblr media
At him
You ruined his evil     diatribe, Windu
He isn’t having that     “you should assume some accountability”        argument..
Ruining the   giant monster plot-          -      with his logic
   Good       times
[Palpatine’s going to dismiss him    rudely      isn’t         he?
    He’s pissed           -              Terrible war
Note; how he said nothing   about the beast safety
Which is Windu’s     main concern
[and his earlier   gaslighting of      Windu’s    conscience
*Put      Down      *             ?        .    
^ ^
Nice
 Sleepy.      .
 Bean.      (Pet      Name-       Light     ly.]
 Any way!
  [There’s the   scientist.]
  Seems        Nice.
   She doesn’t have   au-thority
 Nor      Do     You.  “Good care,”
 Nice
Mace         Is     Humanitarian       towards          Ani-     mals-
 -also can we stop calling at the        “beast”?
   It’s an      animal?
[’Beast’ is for when it’s attacking you      And           it’s not fully identified]
 And     it’s   adorable
[as well   as has an already established name]
[i’ll say call it whatever you want     but this is   assumed     authority,       And whoever     names it first             is          king         . . . .      Seriously ?     does no one  care for it as a     cute fluffy animal?       (I know it’s scaly  my point stands)
Like seriously everyone’s viewing it as a       resource
[Makes me   sad]
Starting to think that one clone trooper      Should      be in   charge,
He at least       seem-ed to give a     -shit
Well treated
As a resource
Windu;       i’m calling bullshit     but   alright
[is he going to     spring him?
*em
I want Windu to spring ‘em for      environmental justice
Ok, how long does the plotting   bullshit goes down and they start   tearing the scales off the thing?
Um
Ma-jestic
He’s calling     Heavy.. bullshit
Good for     Windu..
(I like this character   .very much.)
 Nope      [Death       Music      .]
 Big
  Good           -           Aight
Uhm        ..     Bu-        ld
Obi-Wan      shut up 
[You are the worst character]
Not in character design
Just in being the     absolute    .worst.
  Great
    Neat
   Al-      right-
I mean-     he could be studying it to find which climate would be best for it -   I mean you can’t just drop a random      Non native-       Life      Form     -     Onto     a random planet-       and   Hope for the     best-
And this is the closest thing to safe neutral   controlled   territory       . . .      that they have
So make sense that they bring him here   to figure it     out
  [The chancellor      able to manage     who they have treaties with and which planets are inhabited
[and what uninhabited planets could be   possibly viable        environment        . . . .         Re-hom-ing    locations-
For him     *em
*Effort*
Oh yeah   not worth the effort to make sure the very   rare species     doesn’t      dare
  [this is why you’re     the fucking worst.]
     In.uni.
   Any        Way-
   Well that was a   calm way of saying,           He didn’t      give me an      explanation            . . .       Which is     understandable      and          A pretty         decent      response,
    .         Try
    Wait what?
Can we       re-wind that again?       ...  Obi-Wan     -     no       -        All he said 
“was that he didn’t get an answer,”
He-
  Do not   escalate the situation.
  Do not send     Anakin to badger the    chancellor.
[If Windu wants to escalate the situation   he will,]
You are not the responsible [least     Toxic] Adult
Please just let       Windu handle it
[I love how they cut away like you know   Windu’s    rolling his eyes
[Obi-won- 
“]
]
Well,  not too bad     just seems tired
Planet acclim-      ation          -         Or the   sed-      atives           -           Will do   that    to you)
Though admittedly it could be a less     in-vasive     environment-
With more   com-patibility-
 Oh
   ?
  What?
    Oh       No!
[Don’t hold    the fluffy bean!]
What   is going on   exactly?
Like don’t get me wrong I know there’s 
  slight discomfort
But    how     bad-
[like is what they   inserted into them a sedative?
Enough,
 Good-
 That’s      Good
  But seriously
If you’re going to      study an animal   you shouldn’t do shit like that
Passive observation
  Seeing if it sheds
  Perhaps,        Getting        Samples
The only time   those things to be    taken off -      ... them         ...  is upon     death         -     with respect to the    life        cycle,            And,   ��  the decomposition     cycle-
     Not going-
Toxic   excessive-
And causing        -   pain
 Aw
Sentient       Bean-
   Oh          No.
Oh it is picking things up   relatively quickly,
Surprisingly    quickly,
figuring out that     this was the one to      Yell          at           ...    despite there being      Mryaid        Of     possibilities,
  And   would usually focus on the,
  Pain-    ful         Ones,
  Com
  So take a small       scrape sample. off the scales
   Like you straight   up tried to       rip   off      the scales.      ... Armor-
And not the   Jedi’s?
   Just thought -in the     pecking order they’d be lower
   Under tanks    and 
    shielding
And protection to the     higher ups           ...
Centurion        Armor.
 First
  Ok how about you   don’t..
Or send her to the planet   and wait to     see if she sheds.
Like,no
Until the   bean       ... is dead       (Un     fortunate)
 You      can’t-    be doing-          ....    Stuff-         Like         That-
    -         What the     fuck?
  Also;     mace Windu       a thousand miles away;      I hope the fuck you do       you be a dead son of a bitch,
Lady, just call the Jedi
Mace Windu is clearly an     environmental         -     animalistic         focus            -      Have him insta kick this      bitch
(Which he can as    his specialty)
Call tox
    *Like         Medic
And kick the bitch   to accountability
* or semi   accountability in this case 
 (’Cause if you get caught with a           Spoon-       -”
 Pr-otest
  Good
  Mace Windu       -     Has a teammate-
 Intelligent
Oh no-
Oh noo
That    could’ve been possibly        meant
“I thought   that was just an   extraneous detail”
👍
 Animal
You’ve been calling it a   Beast   this whole time
Also,     damn look at those    sad eyes!
That Things 100%         Sent.
You can’t do      that!
Ok I need to plot this out
This living creature-
Is sentient      enough        To     Un-der      Stand
Lan-guage
   And feel pain
Let me just play a few scene   so I get the morality right
So,     dude’s sleeping under ground,
(Those guys apparently just         . Got injured by its sleeping movements,)
 Then
  It finds some guy
 Tries to get it off him        (Reasonable)
   Those two guys flee     (After     Anakin spent multiple occasions getting in     it’s way..
  Clearly     un-wonton       and     un-wanted
    So clearly going over the        “don’t bug others         rule,”
    Then these guys   -definitely heck with it
     By throwing        bombs,          And    generally breaking        every        (rule).  The liquid thing is kind of weird
      That being the equivalent of        pumping     planet waste material            Poison)               So it pretty well fits under the attempt of harm                /murder
        And the    guards clearly attempt        to murder it.
So immediate      accountability is in play
  But     they try to kill them
   (Note I know the situation is bad but it’s     Immediate Accountability
     Not immediate death
(However,       it’s really weird with non      humans)
    (Or even just   humanoids,)
  Because I know what another      human could do
  Humanoids have the same       about structure
   With minor     ex -cessive- differences?
    Like- how
(The standards      are really different        here)
   I’m not sure she could have even picked them up       without hurting them.
         I really hope     we get to see her talk
        So   we can get more info
      Because that’s    really    fascinating.
 Co-mment
 Hey     it noted that!        ...   That’s   -really   neat
[Also   geez that must suck,       Having    to be moved from your   planet...      Against       your       will     and things   that you might not be able     prevent. .         Because     some asshole won’t     share the damn planet, 
And everyone   else is enabling.
(It’s the frozen planet thing    All over again    .but better.]    This time   the species     might not actually have an option,
But   doesn’t   negate         -  it’s   sentience,
Kill
Dude,   seriously,
Like I’m not a fan of it   but you could just sedate them,
Turn the fuel wanted some kind of solid       (Point)
And
Argh-
(It brings me no   moral pleasure to say this) 
Cut the scales from the     skin-
Without,   too much pain 
Assume
(Still   should   not do it)
Monster
(Also lady just      call the Jedi)
 You know one who’s against it
You don’t even have to mention the   chancellor by name
Just say some crazy orders got   brought down the line
 And you need   -some help
Oof
‘She   ain’t having your bullshit’
Right
Okay
Whelp
Good scene       setting.    
You really feel how   out of place   Anakin is,    -  
Oof
The music’s    really nice
Really helps set the scene
And the height       Just-
Perfect       (Sets a beautiful        set of risk)
 Oof and Obi-Wan questioning     Am-idala
(The costume choice works        very nicely here-       Causing Amidala        to stand out,       From the       variety,         But still have the kind of    muted sense of the situation,
    (Lot of other senators           wearing purple            (-though more             solid)
And the lighting is pretty nice too,
Looking pretty   naturally with the setting-
Oh,     no,
Aw, that’s kind of nice
 A good    bit of levity
(Possibly    parodying     the masters,         Amidala          and        Anakin      technically)
     (Anakin    did build        CP3PO         though)
     Aight,          Nice,
.
 Pro      B-
 You know   that actually would make sense
I was actually expecting     the more blow it up    solution
   But    just trying bugging the      Senator      (Chancellor)       Palpatine             .       Is a pretty good    (non-escala      tory)         First  step       . . .       .
That would   just let Senator   Amidala see it,     assuming   she wouldn’t have an   issue;     and wouldn’t   notice the smell     rift.    .. -      Male-stare
‘ Mace Windu   told you to leave it alone     and let him handle it,     And you decided fuck     that       I’mma   gonna screw things up,       Didn’t         You?”
Ch-ancellor
Oh     that’s actually a smart plan        -     Gang up on the   chancellor       .      Never mind      A second    pair of eyes     might be   helpful in case   he tries that      hologram   shit again,
(Never mind the fact that     Ami-dala- doesn’t go missing   under mysterious circumstances,”
It’s  a good   plan
Kinda
That’s-    pretty damn fair-     -      Voice-         -     That’s- a little too     environmental but I get the point
(As in it’s ignoring the fact that the    Zilla beast does have a voice,    Just no one‘s listening
  Or reading its body language,     Like a good    sentient would
  (The issue is it’s         accountability          -The ability      to hold others        accountable-
  Which it doesn’t seem to be capable of doing to the         fine degree of      other humans-
   Other   humanoids-
 “ Be it’s      accountability,”         Is More        accurate          a phras-           ing
     Also geez can you imagine that   sit-uation?
 -
 Like either force-d to kill another sentient species or be submitted to   this?
  -
   I give the Zilla beast a lot of damn   credit-
   For the re-straint
Real         shit           . ..    Sit-
   Neither have    you,
  Seen your    -self
   In action!
Like   yeah dude you pull out a laser sword,      When someone threatens you,
(Pretty damn unaccountable)
At least the Zilla beast has a       damn good excuse,
    Life
Yep-
 Warr         ant a discussion
   No,         It warrants the   envir-onmental focus-          Kicking the     offender,          Straight to      accoun-tability            And     every     one else,    Lea-ving    the damn thing       alone,     (Bastards)          ....    ?
I mean-
 That’s       kinda fair-
Heck     not every-       one-       
   Heck- not every generation-     Has an environmental focus
    And,  animals are damn   weird-
   But- I’m going to say      if you see a puppy kicked-        You should      tell that dude to        fuck       off,
  And no I do not      resent that-
   Even if it’s      food
(Which no one should be messing with     in the first place)
   But fair-
  Chan-cellor   
    Still don’t    like this-
 Stop being a complaining        dick and eit        -her do it or    don’t-
  Oh does he have a   hesitation from his previous experience?
    Secrets do not stay       secret
   Mate you deployed the military,              Who have to answer                 to the council,
          Not to mention all of the               Internal law and military                 enforcement                    On planet                     That saw     this shit go down
                (Would probably be    defensive of you holding a dead    creature)
Also yeah   it’s Obi-Wan’s        fault
(How he knows about something      he didn’t witness.       Idk,       Guess   someone told him.”
   Anakin?
   What-       ever.
    Aight
Called        out
No the point of democracy is to form a      hierarchy of authority         And with some people’s decision     matters more than others          There was very little ability to        self determined,
     And often times  ends up just arguing over    basic human decency,
    Doesn’t have to involve   subterfuge
   But things can escalate for the worst with   toxic behavior
       *enabling            espec
Die
Oy!
Any   -one paying attention to that?
(Dude, blown cover!      )
No, better option just go straight to     Windu,
You thought     he was being held for a tests     ... He   wasn’t    ,       Time to get the ass kicking squad in for     questioning,
 Windu
*Not      Obi-      Won-    -
 That was   damn threatening
  Aight,
(Also yes, you do,    Go tell    Windu.)
Here’s the conversation;
 ‘Ok, I’ll just relay that to      Master      Windu-”
    “Wait, no - don’t do that-         !”
   (Done jokingly)
 The conversation’s         fine,
  War is never going to be won until someone assumes         accountability
Both points of “feck you” 
  Well at least Anakin isn’t hail-ed as the    “enabling Savior”,
   And does sorta take          Amidala     ’s          Side,         ,       Re-     asonable
          [call             Windu]
Shit     ...
Also      “your       groomer       has     groomed        you       well”
    To       never        pick       a side       .  .. Ex-         Cuse-        Me-         -         Help         ing     ...       He   noticeably     switched            his       body       over      to your side,
      And his   “both sides thing,”               .... .        Was is clearly a        ‘feck          you,
  Appro    -priately
     Oh
     No he       DOESN’T!
      And Anakin isn’t innocent   here,
  So knock off the   tone
  No puppy dog   was kicked,
   Anakin fully   knows what he’s advocating       is wrong
   And appro         -priate tone should be applied
 ‘That was      malicious
You can’t hoodwink an     adult,
Productives are well aware    of common decency            Rules,
 Selectives know      their shit
   This is an          act of        malician          . . .          And should be           framed as such     .   yeah I have no idea what’s going on with   him either
[Doing that    unaccountable juice again.)
Oh,     hi,    ,       Wait you’re just gonna straight up gas      ‘em-
  But-
(Does this turn them   into a super angry pissed off monster?)
Zilla

  ‘I will grab the thing    , but I’m still asking you to do the thing,”

We talked about how that doesn’t excuse     actions    ... I swear if they pull that they said they were sorry, so that means everything’s ok every episode,

Til the mark
Any      way.
Begin     procedure        .       And with that she is undoubtably      irredeemable,           . ...

        Poor             Zilla,
         Got            tears            in my eyes
     [Like imagine          that bullshit]
Like either she was restrained            her self enough        so she didn’t kill people
Or the situation was so bad          it literally caused       an adrenaline          like situation
     Free-         ing herself
     Seeing as she doesn’t seem to be a bad   “pers’- 
     [The accountability scale-           still         un-established,”     [Selective          accountability?
     Involuntary         accountability?

   Just-
   Whoa-
   No-
  Don’t shoot the      baby   !     sent    ient!
 I don’t     like the sound of that,
You’re not going to like    
what they did to her?
[also wait,    what are the properties of that gas?
  Like what does exposure      do to her?
  [I know they said it was poisonous,        But      that was coming from the assholes  that thought stabbing      her was a good idea,
*em
 Any      Way,   
Good point
Like how          dude’s backing away               .       Good trooper
I hope he was the       Zoologist           One            .      seems to be       smart,
Oof
(Dude didn’t even get to see the        Zila,)
   Oof
   It    doesn’t even attack anyone!
  (It goes away        from the tanks)
    My        Damn          heart,
        Oof
       I hurt
      Good
(Oh geez,   she probably didn’t even know they were still out there.”
 Oof,
Okay, fakers,
Also she took out was the beams screwing with her,
 There         was like one guy,
   (I remember         I thought about commenting,          “Karma,”.        at that moment,
  If Lady’s on the ground        it’s her own fault,
Zilla,     didn’t do anything to her
Dick,
  ?
  Oy,       Bullshit,
   She, went the other direction

     Must suck

after her thing was destroyed?
Damn
Also, wait 
it’s night?
How long     have they been   standing there?
(Also Mace     Windu       is going to     kick    your      ass.”
Also, look at that
She’s trying to go under the beams!
This is clearly not     malicious,
  And I mean it makes     a lot of sense,
   She’s a ground living          creature,            (Sentient)
        She probably thought lower altitude was safe
  And not with all    this      (non      sense),
    toxin
Oh yeah    just gas     the city!                 -      with multiple     in-     habitants     of    different   biological      structure-
                                 [Don’t bother turning it into a   blade]
                                 Or                                     bullets]
.
 Hurry
[Not try anymore       practical       solutions,]
Why...   
 Have you done     this?
[Oh yeah don’t bother sounding the alarms for      everyone,
   Screw them
    Only           the servants matter,”
 “Gen,       No,      don’t stay      with   General    Kenobi,        He      will       get      you     killed,
Now, I kno
Fun
-     See,   she gives them a warning yell!
She’s more-so tripping than     malicious,
Also made if you saw a (malicious) beast coming your way and decided to stand near it
  -That’s your      own fault,
   Like,        Darwin’s          law           No          Euth,
     To be fair dude does give the orders.  And that      was her way of saying I don’t like that guy
         I’m just really sad about her      condition.
 Tr-
   High     er    Van         Ta          Ge
    Point-
    Also yeah that does seem like a smoother safer advantage point where she wouldn’t hurt anyone
   Aight,
   Okay, seriously      how the fuck are            there fires?
   She      hasn’t- 
   That’s just something completely     different,
    [Like-         I don’t know if I wanna know the story but that           is intriguing]         
      Aw,           Small,
       See now    she’s sticking to sections       where she can’t      hurt       people.         .
    Whelp
    “Also everyone get to your   rooms,
    These       frickers;
 Like there was an alarm      earlier      right?
   There was a      siren       ..
  How?
  No-pe
 Yes you stay on top of that dome
   Proud          Of           This          Zilla’
     Eva-           Cute?
     Also wait   wasn’t she just in the scene below
 Some        One-
   Dude all she did was   yell at him,
  Re-     Strain         T!
   Gosh darn, Yoda -     you fricking        enabler
Also how long until Windu finds out she’s been injured and..  freaks out.
 Loading.
Lost
And,   they were all given fair warning and if you’re not smart enough to get out of the way that’s your own fault
* Un    accountable
  Off
How’s    Windu    feeling?
 Aight
 Bullshit,    you planned that-
Also   why are you including everyone else?
That seems like a   security   hazard?
Toxin
.
De-stroyed
Clearly no
You should be     glaring daggers at him  
being like   “bitch    no,”
Padme      Isn’t      innocent
Pr-
[Windu        is going to kick a bitch]
   It
  No
   Hi,
  Hey, want to talk to you
 VALID
  Good
  OH NO   
Fuck off Yoda
  (Amoral-
You shouldn’t   shoot them in the first place-
Also this is just establishing that     Mace Windu is literally the only sane person,

   Dick,       Don’t
(Feckin   dammit Anakin,)
   The Zilla        Just       Wants      a nice talk.
      Bad
Yes just let the Zila talk you         irresponsible fuck
Like, seriously        Now she’s       going to have to try and catch you with her hands,
   And if anyone gets hurt      it’s their own damn fault.
  Som-

  I swear..
 I fuck-
She was already paying attention 
you damn fuck
                Zilla-         catch-  Whelp,
Dumbest freaking      plan ever,
Zilla,          Pick up
“ also you have to think about what Zilla- is thinking at them       at this moment-
Like-
  Oh- shit
No   
They could possibly die!  She     just yells at them this     entire time!
   Damn...
Pretty sure   that dude tried to shoot      her...
  Not-
 Dick
   Oh         No,
   This-

Life Update: Time, Tears and The Big Girl Bed
Tumblr media
This month has been dominated, both emotionally and practically, by the arrival of Angelica’s Big Girl Bed. It has taken up a lot of time, this Big Girl Bed; first, choosing it (I was torn between buying an antique and getting a new one), then working out what else we needed to go with it (any excuse to spend ages on interiors websites) and finally, once the huge package arrived, putting it together.
I realise that three is probably quite late to be putting a child into a proper bed (is it?), but I’m afraid we were in a good place with the cot and we simply couldn’t let it go. It had bars, you see, which meant that once Angelica was in bed, that was it for the night. Not that she ever tried to escape – which was probably why the cot lasted so long – but we didn’t have to worry that she was galavanting about upstairs whilst we were watching Game of Thrones. She was happy with the cot, so were we.
Tumblr media
But all good things must come to an end, and so last Saturday the little cot was taken down (after spending eight thousand hours looking for the right allen key) and the new White Company bed was put together. I went for the Provence* single bed, because it was on sale and also it was almost identical to an antique one I’d seen. Except that it didn’t have the “past minor case of woodworm”, the “rickety join between headboard and side rail” or the “slightly torn rattan segment at the foot”. (Love vintage and antique stuff, but when you’re sleeping in it, you tend to want it to hold together.)
I digress; the cot went out and the new bed came in and I had to slip into the airing cupboard of claustrophobic nightmares to have a bit of a sob. (I rarely seem to be able to cry “a little bit” anymore – I hold it all together and then the dam bursts and I am left prostrate with seemingly inconsolable grief.) Where has my baby gone? I wailed, as Mr AMR shouted to ask me where the screwdriver was for about the seventieth time. I remember the day I first put her into the cot, I thought, as I buried my sobs into a stack of mismatched towels, she was so tiny! Six months old! 
Tumblr media
Ugh. Is parenthood always this relentlessly emotional? We also had a trip to the nursery so that Angelica could meet her new friends – she starts in September for two days a week – and I had to put my sunglasses on the minute we got through the door because I had welled up and the tears were threatening to spill over.
“I hang my coat on these hooks Mummy?” said Angelica. “Like Goat?” (Goat is from a book called Goat Goes to Playgroup. It’s a page-turner.)
“Yes,” I croaked, “you’ll hang your little coat up there and go into school!”
“And you come too, Mummy?”
Oh my heart. So anyway, I stuck my sunglasses on and must have looked like a) I had a medical problem with my eyes or b) a total knob. I can’t bear it when people wear sunglasses inappropriately (like in the house, when you’re trying to speak to them, and when it’s winter for God’s sake!) and so you can imagine how much it pained me to keep them on. I only pulled myself together when I leant on a table and accidentally stuck my elbow into a tray of red paint – it’s amazing how a minor crisis can distract you from your own thoughts.
The worst thing about the Big Girl Bed scenario was that Angelica kept crying – “don’t take away little bed!”  and in my ridiculous, over-active imagination, the cot became a sort of physical embodiment of her babyhood. There were Angelica’s baby years, all of those milestones and gorgeous memories, standing in pieces on the landing, ready to be stored in the shed.
Good grief.
Tumblr media
What’s Ted been doing this month? Nothing tear-jerking, which is nice. I’m just about done in, emotionally. He’s eighteen months today and he mostly spends his time throwing his food around dramatically – he sits in his high chair and swipes his hands across the tray from side to side, sending his rice/pasta/cereal/bread flying around the kitchen. Needless to say that Dexter the dog loves him.
Ted has a strange way of feeding himself, if I had to describe it in one word I’d have to say “Desperation”. He squashes everything he can possibly manage into his mouth for around thirty seconds, easily devouring over half of his total meal amount, and then he spends a few minutes processing it and chewing it down. He’s like a demented contestant on Supermarket Sweep, packing his trolley in an absolute frenzy.
He also gets quite panicked when he starts to smell food and it doesn’t immediately appear – you have to keep him as far away as possible when you’re cooking otherwise he clings to your legs until you drop morsels into his mouth like a baby bird. I’m like a constant snack-provider; dried mango, slithers of ham, lumps of cheese, bits of toast and jam, I’m forever preparing miniature food items, like a caterer for gnomes.
Ted has started to say quite a few words, though it’s sporadic and he absolutely will not perform on demand. Ask him to say “moo” or “dada” or “bath” and he will clamp his lips together and stare at you blankly until you go away and leave him alone. Left to his own devices, he chatters and hums and babbles away and has a grand old time of it.
Oh, and he has started to love books. A real definite change in the last week or so, I think he’s having a huge developmental leap or something. One day he was a baby dribbling food down his bib, the next day he’s plotting to take over the world, poring over his paperbacks. Although so far he’s only really interested in the farm book because it plays Old McDonald on a loop in a tinny, annoying manner.
Ted has also been going through a clumsy stage where he walks straight into doorframes and trips over thin air. And then gets really cross about it. It’s like being in charge of a tiny drunk man who alternates between loving you unconditionally and hating the sight of you. He’s like a tiny drunk man who can’t remember whether he wants a kebab, which is in one direction, or the bus stop, which is in the other. And whilst trying to decide, he likes to lie down a lot, sometimes in the middle of the road. Often he stands on things that just should never be stood on – boxes made from paper, the edges of duvets that have no bed supporting them – and now and then he likes put his hands into drawers and then lean on them so that he traps his fingers painfully. After a short, intense cry, he likes to brush himself off and try it all again.
Argh, my other baby! Not even a baby. Toddling and saying “book” and eating cereal with a spoon – it seems like yesterday I was lugging him about on the London Underground, breastfeeding awkwardly on the tube and trying to find stations that had lifts in them. Do I miss those days, or am I glad that they’re over? Were they fun, or simply difficult? It’s amazing how quickly your mind readjusts and smoothes over and carries on…
Tumblr media
Why am I so silly and overly-sentimental about things? I think I’m trying to get to grips with not having a baby to look after – Ted is becoming more and more independent and there’s no proper cuddle-cuddle time going on. Not like there was before. In one way it’s lovely – I have my arms back! – but trying to adjust to not being needed to much is weird. It’s hard to know who I was before all of the baby years started, and they’ve flown by so fast – it’ll be four years in September since I fell pregnant with Angelica, so four years since I’ve really felt “normal” in my body and had uninterrupted sleep. Where do I go from here? Who am I? A woman who bursts into tears when she’s driving because so many songs remind her of her Dad, who fills her pockets with jelly beans (new vice) so that she can squirrel-nibble on them throughout particularly trying periods of the day, a woman who still feels as much of a girl as she did when she was fourteen and wondered, I wonder what it will feel like to be SIXTEEN? Twenty-three years later and I still have no idea.
Time. Life. It’s a funny old thing.
