On p'Sammon
I think their work shine better with established pairs with strong chemistry to uphold the casual queer intimacy woven in the material (or strong workshops).
4 minutes & DFF could have been better with more plot editing. 4 minutes imo was a missed opportunity to be thematically/metaphorically more complex & a better mystery box. BOC should realise their need for comedic & mystery writers if that's the direction they are aiming in
Spare your mercy being divisive considering the subject matter is interesting. From what I could see, the topic of complex queer and romantic identity vs ethics was quite interesting but could have benefitted from more casual queer intimacy, or even a break up over ethics/values
Audiences (and myself) aren't ready for it but the next step in queer representation is divorce & break ups particularly ones that are due to character intrinsic incompatibility vs an external cause.
Love that doesn't work out is still love and still valid and beautiful and truthful even if one or both let it die without fighting for it or if the incompatibilities were so strong
Breaks up over life incompatibilities being one of the hardest fantasy breaking limits of the genre.
Beyond the hiv & drugs crisis, lgbtq & in general social isolation & disconnection with others in that depth of loneliness seems to be an under represented topic (the shipper?). Ray alcohol (Boston/Top casual drug consumption hinted at) as a way to escape reality or suffering.
Thinking of @maybe-boys-do-love on p'aof romanticising the every day.
Looking forward to Petrichor as it gives me American CSI vibe with a wlw slant ... And it's surprisingly an under represented market worldwide.

Politically engaged asian lgbtq shows
It seems also the political environment in Thailand might have changed in a way doing shows like the eclipse, manner of death or not me is more difficult to get financing or support for.
Similar shows in China have suffered as well (justice in the dark, CSI mystery, under the skin (surprised it got a 2nd season), can ci pin/the imperfects, under the microscope (historical slant might have protected it).
Moonlight chicken with the topics of poverty / banking endebtment even if explored with a tender eye. Mama gogo & Midnight Motel on the topics of selling one's sex appeal or bodies. Looking forward to Burnout syndrom beyond the romance lines.
Thin whispers of it can also be found in only friends (politician father) & thk - ethics in a dystopian capitalism.
Strangely Ossan's love & Burn out syndrom stand in the same room for me. And looking forward to reading meta? and older analysis on OL as it was a cultural phenomenon. I'm always intrigued about what is masked through humor.
Disconnection with one self identity through work & avoidance of society and refuge in the sphere of intimacy.
Sexual identity or practices aren't build or exercised in disconnection with the world they inhabit, in every dimension. And those dimensions and the art made upon it both reflect the world as it, as it can be or can't be spoken or how it's dreamed to be.
