Poll: Favorite ForceBook BL Series

Once you get hooked on a BL couple, you want more. And if the BL Gods are listening, you don't just get more, you get variety.

With Force and Book, we've seen them be secret admirers (Enchante), have a cute workplace romance (A Boss and a Babe), and even cheat on each other (Only Friends).

But if a mutual needed an introduction to this pairing...

my fave thing about fortpeat is how disgustingly whipped fort is for peat.

2am musings:

how established/couple pairings (CPs) in bl function similarly to ships in fanfiction

both work by allowing the creators to capitalize on an ingrained love for the actors/characters and an understanding of their personalities and interactions. AUs ask us to examine (or play with) how these characters we know would work in a new setting, under new circumstances, relying on a shared understanding of certain fundamental character traits.

both work as shortcuts. you don't have to spell out all the details and you don't have to spend as much time fleshing out the characters because there is an implicit understanding that if you're engaging with the show/fic, you're there because you're already somewhat into the pairing and you like (at least something about) them.

basically, CPs = OTPs

tl;dr: we make assumptions about how the characters will be and act, both in relationship to each other and the core aspects of their personalities. as a creator, you can choose to use these preconceived notions to lean into or to subvert expectations.

tell me your top 3 bl pairs plsss, an explanation on why or what your fav series of theirs would also be very welcome if you choose to include 🧡

hi nonny!

I'm assuming by bl pairs you mean actor pairs and not on-screen couples? if so then here are my top 3:

FirstKhao - what can I say they're my babes lol their chemistry is above all others imo, they work as a team and no matter what they do, they're in it together. they have a very healthy and wholesome friendship and you can tell they know, understand & respect each other deeply which results in a fantastic acting game & an undeniable on-screen connection. 14/10. favorite show: The Eclipse & Only Friends (can't pick one rn) .

OffGun - the OGs, the legends, the dads lmao. How can you not love them. They've been around for ages and they still deliver, they have an incredible range and (almost) all of their shows slap lol. Not Me was a cultural reset and CC quickly became one of my favorite shows of 2023, only 5 episodes in lol. favorite show: Not Me. .

JaFirst - they used to be a bigger deal back in 2021 than they are now but I still love them dearly lol. They parted ways with MMY pretty quickly after DSN aired and chose to do their own thing which I respect a lot lol. DSN is still one of my all-time favorites and their comeback show last year was super precious. To me they have an amazing chemistry (and they get brownie points for being the absolute sweetest when I met them) and even though they might not make a return I will cherish them in my heart forever 🥹🫶🏻 lol.

I have a lot of other pairs that share the 2# and #3 spot but for the sake of this ask I picked the most solid ones lol.

I don't know...7 episodes into Cooking Crush and I'm just not feeling it.

Even though I love OffGun (on and off screen), the only thing keeping me coming back is that I've never seen Aungpao before, and I'm hoping he wins Neo's character over.

And makes him suffer. 😈

Lol oh my god I just realized their couple name is Dynamite x Fire.

Too bad Aungpao is 17. The only thing that'll explode between those two on screen is Fire's internalized homophobia.

[existentialcrisiscore]

Pavel and Sailub should DEFINITELY act together

their chemistry is electrifying.

the passion is there.

Okay, ABL, here's one l haven't seen tackled: role reversal ! I'm watching Moonlight Chicken, and l'm thinking, "Could l see this with the actors switching characters ?"

Gemini is taller, square face, intelligent and thoughtful nature--but a domineering physical presence. His opposite is more cherubic, elfin even ? I mean, these are just physical characteristics, and l love them as they are ... but l really could see it the other way around, too.

How many pairs out there might you say that about, for any given script ?

Ooo, I think I get what you're after. Pairs branded as seme/uke but where I could see the actors switch it up easily?

Seme/uke Switches

TayNew - first one that sprung to mind, bar none. Tay has done the uke role before (3WBF), and I actually think they'd do a better job at Cherry Magic if Tay played the chaos monkey Adachi role.

BrightWin - they a sunken ship but I could easily see them switching it up

GeminiFourth - in fact they kinda already do this

ForceBook - work either way, so do

JimmySea

JoonDunk

and

PondPhuwin

The fact the GMMTV is shy of this kind of thing is GMMTV's problem and a y-novel adaptation issue, not the actors. I mean they let Ohm & Nanon, First & Khao, and a few others pay with the dynamic, they can keep doing it if they really want to.

Outside of GMMTV?

KarnNut - I just don't think they really need the s/u dynamic at all. They're beyond that same with...

MaxTul

MileApo (bite me)

BoomPeak (insert ironic chuckle here)

PerthLay

and

Kim Ji Woong & Yoon Seo Bin (not that I think we'll see them as a pair again anytime soon)

[bylerclub]

I have to take a little break from my Byler theme because I just finished Love In the Air and episode 13 in particular threw me from wall to wall - I wanted to scream especially in this scene - 😥😭

Sky is my baby and he deserves the best of everything 🥹

But this is cinema for me ⬆️ Both their acting was amazing and I’m just speechless for this 👏🏻👌🏻

A little warning 🚨: I must say that it contains +18 scenes for those who are considering watching the series.

Now I can go back to Byler 🫶🏻
