#Decedents

[demon-ry-bread]

As someone who has seen both the Ever After High show and the Decedent’s movies, the EAH show was so much better. I liked the characters more and the concept of legacies and how they used it was really interesting.

And while I never owned a doll from Decedent’s, my friend owned an Ever After High doll and the quality of them really were great. Probably one of the best dolls of its genre.

…Disney upsets me.

okay, there are many legitimate reasons to dislike disney, but can we please stop using “disney tells stories based on folktales!!11!!!” as one of them? pretty please, with cherries?

Me: I'm gonna go write one of my WIPs that's been unfinished for a year!

My brain: Okay but I have another idea. And another. And another.

Me: GOD FUCKING DAMMIT.

I’m tired but I wanted to draw Nickelodeon decedents because of @what-is-my-aesthetic so here’s my take on it

Ironic how someone called Eärendil the Mariner has sired a long line of dedicated horse girls.

"You may sit upon my lap." - Jay to Archie

"W..w..what!?" Archie blushed red hearing the words from Jay's mouth. Though, he didn't know how to react towards it feeling all nervous now.

This, this silly little thought is what caused the brainworm from the last post. Just Ingo absently solving century long mysteries. One that Emmet has been struggling to solve since he was a kid.

Bonus: Emmet, and Drayden are terrible at telling Ingo basic things about their family. It’s very frustrating for Ingo. Admittedly they don’t tell him in the hopes that enough familiar stimuli will help with him remembering. It does not.

Despite their worries, being told things does not cause sudden memory flashes nor headaches even if he does remember something. Bit of misunderstanding of his amnesia. Really he’d much prefer them stop treating him like glass and just tell him things.

kind of a difficult case today! thought i of all people would be more prepared for this sort of thing happening but actually I'm not!

[mintytealfox]

i wonder what frederick thinks about his descendent arnold (if that even is his descendent, but im betting that it is)

Oh gosh I dunno! 👀

and LOL the thought of Frederick having a direct descendant is hilarious cause when would he have even bothered to do the deed to have kids and stuff LOL PFFFF So I think Arnold is like a cousin or nephew or great nephew or something 👀👀 but honestly who knows 🤣🤣 Frederick is a wild card for sure -WHEEEZZEEE- if he is related of course lol

But Arnold seems WHACKED OUT HIS MIND LOOOL and what kind of stuff did Frederick even get the chance to write about to even inspire him THAT MUCH which adds to my thoughts even further that Frederick is definitely still around and gonna be there for the last game 👀

Now I am picturing Frederick, Melly, Alice, and Norton all watching from their portraits PPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I think Frederick could be so unfazed and not even care OR find this so strange and ridiculous that he pretends Arnold doesn't exist and not pay a singular attention cell to the jeering coming from Norton LOL

Hello my lovelies, I am still here! Been on this mindset journey that is leading me good places (like getting a new job!), but also taking up quite a bit of my time, so I'm working on adjusting things so I can still squeeze in writing on GLM because I miss it <3333

Aaaaand I left Mai and Naru alone in a room together and I probably should go check on them ;)

Watch this space for updates and, as I always, I adore you!

Hi!!! I love your blog so much, especially your weekly summaries-- they are just so helpful! I was wondering if you know of any Bls with the military/policemen/fire fighters? I know military service is mandatory in thailand and south korea so I was wondering if there were any Bls that have one the main characters in the military (or police, firefighters etc.) Thanks so so much!

Hi!!! Thank you!

BL BADGE BUNNIES ACTIVATED!

Sure thing. There are a few, not many. Countries with conscription policies (e.g. Korea & Thailand) usually have a defacto ban on realistic/non-positive representation of military service in their media. In other words, BL by its nature (gay in military) stays away from this setting.

BLs in uniform (featuring military/policemen/fire fighter romances)

A Tale of Thousand Stars Thai 2021 YouTube (ranger) - With great casting and cinematography this drama nods at BL tropes but manages to elevate them (and itself) with a strong mature story concept about a spoiled rich kid who gets a heart transplant and becomes a teacher it order to pay out survivor’s guilt. On the way he falls in love with a local park ranger and contends with his own classism and escapist tendencies. Everyone seemed to perfectly suit their roles and GMMTV made the most out of its stable. Combined with excellent production (and post production) values, 1000 Stars is without question GMMTV’s most mature, charming, and smart BL series. I think it should go down as one of the top BLs of all time. I feel safe recommending this one to friends and non BL watchers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

HIStory 3: Trapped Taiwan 2019 Viki (cop) - Basically the definition of enemies to lovers from Lin Pei Yu. This is a cop + the mafia man he is chasing but WAIT, they fall in love. Added bonus side couple: assassin and nerd cop ALSO falling in love. It’s great. All the leads are stellar. Its high heat, fun action, and a bit of a mystery drama but pretty about all of it. My only warning is that the main couple doesn’t entirely end up together, it’s implied, but… amorphous ending. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Your Name Engraved Herein Taiwan 2020 Netflix? (army, recent history) - This movie is fantastic but it is also seriously depressing, it’s a self acceptance journey, but if you wanna wallow in high quality acting and serious gay drama, this’ll do it. MIXED REC, NOT FOR SPECIFICALLY BL FANS

S.C.I. AKA SCI Mysteries China/Hong Kong 2018 YouTube? (censored bromance, cops) - This is a police procedural with a censored main couple of police investigators who live together basically as husbands, it’s just not talked about. This is one of the first BLs I ever saw (I found their relationship very confusing). RECOMMENDED

Guardian China 2018 grey (censored bromance, cop) - Episodic urban fantasy meets police procedural, one of the most epic long term pinings in the history of long term pinings. RECOMMENDED

Light Taiwan 2021 Gaga (cop) - Ironically titled movie about a street hustler (incest, rape, abuse survivor - all depicted on screen) who falls in (and in love with) an undercover cop. TRIGGERS

Shorts & Sides

A First Love Story Korea 2021 YouTube & Gaga (military service) - Strongberry are true masters of their craft and yet A First Love Story is still one of the best things they have ever produced. It’s the only microfilm ever to make one of my year end top ten list. It’s two episodes of about 8 minutes each that manage to perfectly portray the sweetest friends-to-lovers confession ever. It’s joyful, and gentle with its characters, and a little hot. How on earth do they manage to leave us yearning for more yet completely satisfied at the same time? It’s like the perfect amuse-bouche, that one finger food at that one cocktail party that you will never forget. You are a ridiculous human if you haven’t spent 16 minutes with these two boys. Go watch it now. Or go watch it again. It’s time VERY well spent. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Just Friends? Korea 2009 Gaga (military service) - Boyfriends, one of whom is on military leave, trying to decide on coming out and the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

(also one of Korea's first BLs, they would NOT stick to this style, it's way more Taiwan feeling.)

The Immeasurable Taiwan 2021 Gaga (cop) - Police officer falls in love with a student who turns out to be an anti-establishment activist. MIXED REC

DanYok side couple in Not Me (cop)

I've left out bodyguards and historicals (or both).

I've left out the super dark, unhappy, violent, rapey, and pinks, because... I don't like 'em, and you asked me... so...

Now you know why the BL adaptation I want more than ANYTHING is Decedents of the Sun, soldier+healer but GAY? Come on, it writes itself!

Happy 11th Anniversary of Ever After High episode 1!!!! You taught me how powerful being a fan of something could be (and hold me in a semi-chokehold to this day)
