#university BL

[absolutebl]

Phi, any recommendations on shows that invoke the same warm fuzziness as We Are? I need friendship and soft giggles in my life again.

Soft BLs Centered Around a Friendship Group

example: We Are

This is Thailand's bailiwick, so the ones that satisfy all your criteria are gonna be Thai.

There are in order of my personal preferences. Best at the top.

My School President

Cherry Magic (Thai remake)

Love By Chance (AePete cut)

Destiny Seeker

2 Moons 2

2 Moons Ambassador

2gether series

En of Love series

My Engineer

Nitiman

La Cuisine

Make it Right series

Gen Y series

Secret Crush on You

Tonhon Chonlatee

I will say that The Kiss series+ has my favorite friendship group but I can't in good conscious call Dark Blue Kiss soft. So it's not on this list. But I wanna give it a nod.

Much smaller friendships groups but they kinda there?

Oh! Boarding House

Love Class 2 (Korea) it not hard but also it's not really about the friendships until the end. But it's the closest Korea as come to this kind of BL.

The New Employee

All the Liquors

My Day

DNA Says Love You

Tie The Not

Papa and Daddy

Second Chance

My Lascivious Boss

Stupid Genius (most of the "stupid" series from Vietnam)

My Gear and Your Gown

21 Days Theory

Ai Long Nhai

My Secret Love

Good Friendships Groups but Harsher BLs

Bad Buddy

Until We Meet Again

The Sign

SOTUS

Theory of Love

Deep Night

Love Sick series

Oh! My Sunshine Night

Pit Babe

Usually I stop my pulls at 7/10 but in this instance I included some 6/10s. Just FYI. Some of the ones lower down in each category really aren't all that good.

Hope there are some here you haven't seen. My personal suggestion might actually be La Cuisine. I think it's giving the requisite softness.

"You know I'm not a kind person, and I don't listen to others. How do I make you mine, and mine alone?"

I’m assuming we have Pit Babe to thank for this fucking fantastic line-up from Change. Is that all it takes to earn money and creative freedom in this industry? A little mpreg? GMMTV, take notes.

THIS SHOW

Can we talk about how they are literally not wasting a single frame in the storytelling? It's short, but so damn effective.

I've talked before about how this is not just a story about individuals, but about existing within a fucked up system.

It's about how we get accustomed to terrible treatment, because we exist in a space where everyone sees it as normal.

And those who realize it's not normal, those who try to push back, don't tend to last.

But once they're gone, we realize how much they (and their ability to see the truth) were protecting us from things being the absolute worst.

How our acceptance of this kind of life and workplace perpetuates the cycle for the new people as they come in.

And though we think we are only martyring ourselves, it results in the sacrifice of others. Because in our choices for ourselves, we are helping to feed them to the machine.

But it's still so hard to walk away, because you become so numb to it all. Until you are sure that parts of you are permanently broken.

And you also know that these systems are everywhere, they are our society, so who's to say you could ever find anything better?

It's the slow crushing of the soul, that makes you feel like it all could just be so futile.

Which is why what Kai is doing is so brilliant here.

He's not denying the reality of the world they exist in. He's not being pushy or angry about Hiro's choices.

Instead Kai is utilizing temptation, showing that there are things, some of them quite simple, that can bring joy. That can break through the futility.

That prove that you can still feel.

But you have to choose them. Because like all things in this life, they are ephemeral.

The systems might not go anywhere in our lifetimes, but that doesn't mean the choices we make don't matter. For ourselves - and for those who see us do it.

I find it so fun that people are shipping Bible as Vegas with Jes’s character Theerakit.

LIKE TELL ME THIS DOESN’T GO SO HARD???

They look so good together aesthetically and their dynamic would also be so hot since from what I know Jes’s character is as much if not worse of a red flag than Vegas.

This is also giving me Hannigram extended universe vibes—shipping two different characters from two completely unrelated shows just because the chemistry between the actors is that good. 😌

Anyways I love love Vegas and I think he deserves to be put in his place and if Theerakit can do that I love that for him. I’m always going to be on the pathetic wet cat baby girl Vegas agenda!!!

Maybe if I get the time I’ll write a fic for these two but for now I’m just loving all the wonderful fanart and discussions about these two :))

Nokia Chinnawat and Jaonine Jiraphat as ALMOND & LATTE —MONSTER NEXT DOOR · Episode 5

[blmpff]

📢 Old Men Yaoi Alert - both actors are born in 1990!! and with that out of the way:

New bl based on Patrick's (My Ride, Mystique In The Mirror) novel is coming our way, it's called: LAST MEAL UNIVERSE THE SERIES

Shun(旬) was a galactic civil engineer with a unique assignment: demolishing Earth to make way for a new intergalactic expressway. Naturally, we had no clue about this impending doom. However, on his first day, Shun was captivated by the delectable homemade Thai dishes served by ChonDan, the owner of a quaint Thai restaurant.

When we think of superheroes, we often imagine beings with superpowers. But what if our world was saved by the simple flavors of Thai food and an ordinary guy?

more here, our main leads are: Gun Napan and Ritz Rueangritz

they previously acted together (guest roles) in After Sundown (2023) (ZeeNunew MLs)

coming soon~

Miss Tiffany's Universe is a pageant for Thai trans women.

Yoshi from The Sign was the 2017 winner,

And now we have Rock from City of Stars who was the 2020 winner.

I like that several BLs feature trans women,

but I'm especially loving that they are being cast as love interests.

I'd fall in love with a woman too when she looks that good in a LEMONADE STAND UNIFORM!

Thank you, City of Stars, for giving me another beautiful woman to gaze at and for another week of my Big Dragon sides.

Appreciated.

BL Tropes Specific to a University Setting

@sagi-kari asked a question, and as usual Tumblr ate it, but here it is:

Hi ABL!, I was wondering: What do people mean when they say University BL tropes? Isn't that just romance tropes in general? But also there are things like freshy contest which is basically thailand's prom, I think. Which makes me think: Are there tropes specific to University BLs?

All Uni BL

They ARE roommates (forced proximity)

Hazing (bully)

Library assignation

Head in lap in a park/quad/bench

Friendship group teasing/trial/coming out (they usually already know)

Friendship group meals

Some kind of going out to a club

Supportive straight bestie

Thai Uni BL Specific

Gift of gear necklace

Pink milk

The college uniform (Thailand)

Freshie contest and/or games

Engineering smock = gay

Premed + engineers (blame 2 Moons)

These are just off the top of my head I am sure there are more. But some of the others, like rooftop, are also shared with High School.

Thank you all for your presence here today to witness their love. The Ash Exchange is an ancient sacred ceremony. It is believed that if we exchange the ashes from the ancestors of the two families, the bond between the two will become complete.
