A LOOK BACK at Jae Sung & Min Kyu

(A STRONGBERRY BL SHORT)

A FIRST LOVE STORY (2021, SOUTH KOREA)

A 2 Episode BL Short

When Jae Sung (KIM HYEONG WON) casually announces to his buddy Min Gyu (JUNG JAE WOON) that he's joining the army, Min Gyu is stunned and disappointed but he plays it off.

Realizing he can't let his friend go without confessing his feelings. Min Gyu tells Jae Sung he likes him.

Jae Sung hugs his friend and says if you flirt with any other guy while I'm in the army. YOU'RE DEAD TO ME.

Time passes and Jae Sung (on leave from the army) returns to visit Min Gyu.

While Jae Sung has thought of nothing but Min Gyu, Min Gyu brags of his new college life and popularity which annoys Jae Sung... a bit.

Min Gyu assures Jae Sung that he has missed him. The two head to a room for some private time.

So I finally managed a full month of Inktober

I've been off and on tinkering with art in my adult life for I think close to a decade at this point. So often it's never really felt natural. I'd blame my supplies, and lack of tools, my hands, my temperament. I'd take long breaks, sometimes even going up to a year having given up. Over the last six years I've tried to make the more dedicated push, to practice and learn.

Inktober has always been something of a specter. Something artists did, not me. I've even tried my hand at it a few times, my best previous attempt being in 2019. I managed 11 days, and even at the time couldn't be proud of more than maybe two of them. I've never been comfortable with the black and white inked aesthetic, which I know isn't necessary, but keeps on theme, and my art has often been a matter of spending many hours on a piece, not something that can be easily managed every day. Of course this year I did it.

I'm not the happiest with every piece, but that's not the point. For one full month, I managed to put stylus to tablet, and walk away with a finished piece. Some were humorous, some were spicy, some fitting the theme were spooky. Some were lazy, but they still got done.

So what was different? The biggest help was friends. I reached out to two of my friends that also do art and drafted them in to doing it with me. Any pain could be shared, and victories celebrated. I also took the time once I finished a prompt to look at the next in line, letting it percolate in my head for a full day before actually finishing it. Being a more experienced and confident artist helped as well, but I don't want to overvalue that, especially when a lot of that "confidence" and "becoming a better artist" was present towards the end of the challenge after daily practice for a month.

If you're wondering if you should try it next year, grab some friends, even if they are at different points in their journey, or work in different mediums or styles, and go for it.

Dracula Daily completely changed my opinion on Dracula. When I read it for funsies in college god was that really 10+ years ago?! I didn’t like it. I remember saying that there was no suspense thanks to the cultural knowledge of Dracula being a vampire. Maybe trying to read gothic lit while already taking classes with heavy reading loads was a bit much. Maybe it was the lack of a group discussion that made me miss the suspense. Or maybe I just needed to be a little older. I’m not sure.

I think this crazy book club of ours helped me understand what I missed on my first go around. My fingers are crossed that there’s a similar experience when Frankenstein Weekly starts! (Another book I read around the same time and was disappointed with.) If not, I’ll always look back fondly on our shared obsession with our blorbo from our emails ❤️

Side Couple Supremacy: A LOOK BACK at FORTH & BEAM

2MOONS2 (2019, THAILAND)

Yes, there were supposedly 3 Main Couples and there were PHANA & YO, MING & KIT and FORTH & BEAM. But let's get real 2 Moons and 2MOONS2 had a main couple and that was PHANA & YO. Surely everyone had their faves. I liked them all but I LOVED FORTH & BEAM. The Characters. The Actors. FORTH & BEAM WERE ALL THE RAGE FOR ME. THE CHEMISTRY WAS FIRE.

FORTH was played by NARET PROMPHAOPUN aka PAVEL

BEAM was played by WORANART RATTHANAPHAST aka DOME

Bonus:

Although Forth and Beam never reach couple status or even a hookup in 2 Moons Season 1. As Forth was enamored by Phana's Boy Wayo.

Gotta Give Respect To The Original Actors

Forth was played by DARVID KREEPOLRERK aka TAE

Beam was played by THANAPON JARUJITRANON aka TEE

A LOOK BACK at Uncle & Milk (AND A THANK YOU TO STRONGBERRY)

SUPPORT STRONGBERRY IF YOU CAN!!

CHOCO MILK SHAKE (2022, SOUTH KOREA)

Can't not love this Duo. And pray Season 2 gives them what they deserve. They are not a side couple. They are a co-main couple.

Uncle (PARK SEUNG BIN) gives Milk (KIM SEONG HYUK) a good bye kiss. As Milk heads off without Choco (though Jung Woo sent Choco off too but...)

can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.

teenage me and current me are both depressed directionless girls, the only difference is that current me started appreciating the beauty of the world and realized how good it is to be alive despite it all
