#QL bingo

[becauseimanicequeen]

I was supposed to post this several days ago, but my paintings wanted something different. Anyway...

I and a friend of mine recently reminisced about the time when we made bingo cards predicting whom we thought would die in each season of Game of Thrones. And it gave me the idea to do something similar for QL shows. But, instead of predicting who will get killed (because we don't do that here), I would just throw out some ridiculous shit.

And, because I had too many ideas, I chose to do 3 cards. One "normal", one sexy, and one delulu (because I like being delulu about certain things once in a while).

Here they are:

(EDIT: For some reason, I wrote Triage instead of Transplant on my previous bingo cards, but I've corrected it now. And if you think I desperately want Transplant, and with Max & Tul, you would be correct. And you would be correct to think I'm delulu about it.)

Since I also love to torture myself, I came up with the splendid idea that if I get a bingo, I'll watch a show I'm on the fence about (just one bingo per card, btw). And if I get all of the predictions right on a single card, I'll re-watch a show I absolutely do not want to watch.

In other words, if I get a bingo (just 1 per card), I'll choose between watching:

SOTUS

Water Boyy (the series)

The Effect

I've heard some bad shit about these. But I don't trust people (lol), and my taste is clearly trashy, so I might end up loving these. I'm just not interested enough to watch them without an incentive like this. So, here we are.

If I get a whole card filled in from now until the end of 2025, I'll rewatch:

Time the Series

I'm only listing one show here because there's no way I'll get all of them right.

And you have no idea how badly I want to be wrong...

Please, prove me wrong QL-world. I'm begging you. Prove me wrong.

(But please, for the love of everything holy, give me Transplant, Papang and Pod, and more poly!)

Currently watching episode three of Unknown. The ML is coughing and taking medicine. Could there be a bed bath on the BL horizon?

[leemeanhoe]

i honestly think pregnancy as a plot point in pit babe would be fine or whatever since they've already framed it as the evil daddy's master plan but what i'm honestly terrified of (but don't think is actually gonna happen) is a rut/heat scene or even acknowledgment

[chinzhilla]

the vibes could not be more different but my love for my little astronomy-themed high school qls is as vast as the universe 💫

Japanese QL Corner

People continue to misbehave with the shows being generously provided via fan sub, which means we might have to jump through more hoops or be forced to wait awhile to finish them soon. The good news is that one of them has been picked up for international distribution by Netflix, so we will eventually see it all one way or another! For this week, we still got our two fan subbed shows, with the last one airing weekly on Gaga.

Smells Like Green Spirit

This week we explored comphet, as all of our gay characters lived or relived failed experiences attempting to be attracted to women. Perhaps not the specific gay experience you had on your bingo card for this show, but certainly one many queer people go through. I appreciated that despite featuring an episode about gay boys puking when confronted with sex with girls, the story didn't villainize the girls at all. Fuji is a terrifyingly competent and confident queen and she bounced back from Mishima's rejection with no problem (and with a sapphic twist??). Instead this served as both another way for Mishima and Kirino to bond, and to show Yanagida still dealing with the same thing at an older age. I'm not entirely sure yet what the show is trying to say by putting Yanagida and Mishima on parallel tracks this episode, but I am paying attention. Meanwhile, Yumeno continues to hover around being both viciously homophobic and overly interested in Mishima at the same time. I don't love this romance set up, but it's definitely coming so I am bracing for it.

Love is Like a Poison

I LOVE THIS SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. It continues to be both smart and funny as hell, and the character and relationship dynamics are cooking with gas. Here at the halfway point, both men have realized they've fallen in love with someone they shouldn't have, and seem stumped as hell about what to do with that. I love love love that Shiba fell for a scammer even knowing he's a scammer, and Haruto fell for his mark when he had no intention of taking this man seriously. I just want them to figure out how to make this work so they can live happily ever after investigating fraud, doing domestic chores, talking to their succulents and having lots of hot sex.

Chaser Game W 2

This week Fuyu's terrible mother was dispatched with surprising swiftness when Fuyu kinda out of nowhere developed a backbone. Okay, I guess! But before that, Yeoreum got to shoot her shot with Itsuki, who inexplicably turned her down after one drunken night. There truly is no accounting for taste. It seems that Yeoreum is not yet admitting defeat, so we'll get to see her again next week, yay!

[playboyy-events]

Playboyy X - Crossover event

TL;DR:

For the months of September and October, we're running a crossover event! The idea is to write, draw, vid, gif, whatever Playboyy with other media. You can go as short and simple or long and complex as you want with this, the only requirement is that your stuff be posted by October 31st. 

Tag your work with #playboyyxcrossover and we'll reblog everything here!

Long version:

Six months ago, @blue-grama wrote a little fic called Closer To The Heart, that crosses over Aob from Playboyy with Jim from Moonlight Chicken. I have been thinking about that fic at least weekly ever since, and the fact that because it has various settings, Playboyy crosses over with a lot of other media surprisingly well. 

Kinnporsche? Jason Lee is literally known to be Mafia; Aob is his right-hand man and Prom and Porsche his sons. Nuth and Phop sell drugs. Sex workers are pretty omnipresent with organized crime, so any of the Playboyys could get worked in as well. Hell, Chay goes to school, so throw the baddies in too! 

Only Friends has a school setting and a character whose father is involved in organized crime. Not Me has poverty and twins, and I know there's some real parallels paralleling there!

You can put outside characters in the Playboyy settings, put Playboyy characters in crossover settings, or anything else that your heart desires that combines Playboyy with another QL. The only thing I ask is that you represent characters and not actors.

You are allowed to make all types of fanwork: art, fic, gif, vid/edit, podfic, playlist, meta, whatever. Please tag your work with #playboyyxcrossover, and if you post on AO3 please put it in the collection.

I can't wait to see what fandom comes up with, I'm sure just like Playboyy Bingo it will be riches beyond my wildest dreams~

If you have any questions, please send an ask!

Bingo Card Updates (2025 Edition)

I previously published a post with 3 different bingo cards I will track until the end of 2025. I wanted to start early with this because several shows are coming out at the end of this year going into the next that I wanted to include to see if I could get any predictions or ridiculous/delulu ideas correct.

Any QL show I'm watching that started after the 14th of October 2024 and before the 31st of December 2025 is included.

(I made the cards a week or two before I managed to publish them on the 23rd of October, but I've chosen the 14th of October as the start date, which was the week before.)

I will track my progress once/month (or when needed) to see how I'm doing.

Since I also love to torture myself, I came up with the splendid idea to watch a show I'm on the fence about if I get a bingo (just one bingo per card, btw, since there could potentially be 10+ bingos/card, and I don't have that many shows I'm on the fence about, lol). And if I get all of the predictions right on a single card, I'll re-watch a show I absolutely do not want to watch. More about this after the cut.

But, first, here are the cards (I had too many ideas so I made one "normal", one sexy, and one delulu, lol):

The "Reward" if I Get a BINGO

So, back to the part where I want to torture myself...

If I get a bingo (just 1 per card), I'll choose between watching:

SOTUS

Water Boyy (the series)

The Effect

I've heard some bad shit about these. But I don't trust people (lol), and my taste is clearly trashy, so I might end up loving these. I'm just not interested enough to watch them right now without an incentive like this. So, here we are.

If I get a whole card filled in from now until the end of 2025, I'll rewatch:

Time the Series

I'm only listing one show here because there's no way I'll get all of the ideas right on all 3 cards.

And you have no idea how badly I want to be wrong with at least one idea on each card because Time the Series was not the kind of chaos I usually enjoy. Luckily, I know there's no way I'll get every idea on a card right.

(But please, for the love of everything holy, just give me Transplant, Papang and Pod, and more poly!)

The Shows I've Started Tracking

The shows I'm currently watching that had their premier after the 14th of October are:

See Your Love

Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo

Perfect 10 Liners

Love in the Big City (btw, I'm still watching this week-by-week even though all episodes dropped on the premier day)

I already have at least one square that's a hit, but I'll write about that in a reblog in a day or two because I don't have the time to elaborate on it right now...

[colourme-feral]

Hello and welcome to GMMTV 2025, the biggest bingo event of the year for Thai QL watchers.

Good luck to all bingo players

[theflagscene]

Did way worse on my bingo card than I expected, not disappointed though, a lot of the shows look pretty damn promising.

[stormyoceans]

Do you have any other wishes for GMMTV part 2 aside from the mandatory slow burn?

[TAKES OUT HER WISHLIST] ANON HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU HAVE

all jokes aside, i honestly do have way too many wishes when it comes to what i want to see from GMMTV and most of them are very hyperspecific, so instead of giving you just an endless list of whatever random ideas or pairings i’d like to get (which is maybe more appropriate for a bingo card or something like that), i kinda condensed it all into some more general categories (sort of. a couple fo these are still pretty specific ;;;;;;;;)

anyway, here we go!!!!

1. WOMEN. literally my top wish after anything jimmysea related is MORE. WOMEN. like srsly give me viewjune as the main pairing in a GL!!!!!!!! give me sizzy in any combination!!!!!!!! give me women centring shows where the women actually get treated as the main characters!!!!!!!! give me the GL version of series like only friends and we are where the women get to be silly and nasty!!!!!!!!! give me jamie kissing women as a treat to me specifically!!!!!!!!! GIVE. ME. WOMEN.

2. historical QL. after the success of i feel you linger in the air and with both idolfactory and domundi working on releasing historical QLs in the near future, i think it’s about time GMMTV also gives us a proper one. possibly with no time travel or reincarnation involved, for once

3. plot driven QL. this is kinda tied to my wish for an actual slow burn and partly to the following point as well, but i do desperately wish we could get a QL series where the romance is obviously still there, but it’s not the main focus of the show, or at least not the only one. something like manner of death or triage, where the romance just happens along the way as the story unfolds. i think the closest GMMTV got to it was with not me, but it would be nice to get more, even if i know this is not everyone’s cup of tea

4. some variety please for the love of god. look, i know we’re never gonna get rid of school settings and office romances, so it’s pointless to wish to have none of those, but i do desperately need a bit more diversity. of the fifteen series announced in part 1, seven of them are set in school. SEVEN. that’s basically half of the offer they’re giving. and okay, if we consider only the QL shows then the ratio is better (3 out of 9), but still. give me thriller shows, give me horror shows, give me fantasy shows, give me sci-fi shows, give me jobs that aren’t just office workers or chefs, give me mystery, give me crime, give me cashiers and doctors and detectives and firefighters and taxi drivers and teachers and librarians and waiters and bartenders and mechanics and lawyers and flight attendants and therapists and farmers and hairdressers and reporters, JUST!!!!!!!!! explore something new!!!!!!!! take some risks!!!!!!!! i know GMMTV as a company is not as big as we think it is and that it focuses on teens and new generation audiences, but i don’t think younger people want to see students and office workers exclusively……

5. QL exploring other sexualities and gender identities. just give me ace main characters, trans main characters, non-binary main characters, ALL THE DIFFERENT QUEER MAIN CHARACTERS!!!!!!!

6. pepper/papang/guy/podd in any combination as a main pairing in a QL. love and light to all the rookies but if GMMTV doesn’t give these men some main roles im gonna start committing grand scale larceny to cope

GMMTV 2024 BINGO CARD YAAAY

Thank you for the brilliant bingocard . It is so so so great and I had so much fun @icouldhyperfixatehim I had a bit too much fun with the bingo and took the orange squares for my relatively fixed predictions, the purple ones for things I wish would happen but are unrealistic and the greenish ones for things I could imagine happening in some sort but not 100% like that even tho I WANT to. AND I KNOW it's partly not possible to read it. But HERE WE GO!!

detailed explanations below (but it's way too long and way too much, nobody wants to read that).

Predictions

GemFourth in a BL with a highschool Plot

They revealed already that they will have another show. And I just can’t see that GMMTV would put them in University or somewhere else already.

WinnySatang Show with Inn Sarin as support in a highschool comedy-

I think they will test the waters with that. For Winny and Satang as Mains and for Inn as a new actor under GMMTV aswell.

2nd MilkLove GL, maybe sportthemed.

I think they will not gamble. They will give us more GLs finally but want them to be safe, so they will cast Milk and Love for another one. Which is TOTALLY fine for me but I think they will give them another one to play it safe yes.

A political Drama from P’Nuchy – Bonus for Gun and Papang in it

Okay I admit it I just want another political story. Leave me alone. Also Gun and Papang are always doing great in system critique shows and I am still not over Not Me and I will never be.

JoongDunk in a something darker Show, maybe Mafia or Fantasy, Bonus if Vampires

No words to be added. The Dum Dum Performance lives in my mind rent free and I think I am not the only one with this.

11 QLs in total with 8 Bls, and 3 GLs with 1 of them as an ensembleshow

In total maybe 22 shows. Half of it QL. I think this would be great. More QL always welcomed tho.

Luke and Win as the Tokenstraights characters in a HetRomance

Because sadly they won’t put Luke and (Win) in (another) Bl right?

Homeschool and Enigma Season 2

Since those shows were very very popular… I….think…at least?... I think there will be a second season.

Mix and Match

General mixing and matching of all couples.

I want everyone to kiss each other on the mouth. Be messy. Thanks.

EarthMix Show from P’Jojo, Bonus if Sexworker or/and Crime themed.

I want EarthMix to work with Jojo and I want them to change their dynamics. I think Sexwork would fit in typical Jojo Plots. And I think it would suit them. I would welcome a crime themed show with open arms too tho and I think Earth an Mix talked about that sometimes ago…

Ensemble Show with “old” couples/ “first generation" BL Actors but mixed and matched.

As in OffGun, TayNew, Krist, Ohm, First, I DUNNO SMTH LIKE THAT AND LET IT BE MESSY. I don’t know I am not a big Krist-girl but I think he has a comeback with all his concerts and stuff? Also I just want to see OffGun and TayNew in a show together.

Musicthemed ViewJune GL and Janhae and Aye as a Sidecouple

Listen… Ive DREAMED about Janhae and Aye as a couple. They would kill me and if the four of them had a britrock band together at university, that would just make me straight up cry of happiness. Let them be sweet together and irlekawö.

Strangers from Hell Thai Remake or something similar because I want it okay?

I don’t know, I have no reason for wanting that besides, that I think they would do great on that. I don’t know who would be fitting for which role tho. But it would be awesome right?

Mark/Neo as leads in a fluffy romance with Ford in a support role

I think Mark and Neo surprised all of us. And Ford and Mark as well. I want them in a fluffy romance to see how that would turn out for Mark and Neo but I want it to turn a little bit darker towards the end and let Ford have a bigger role on it.

Family Drama with a queer subplot where the mid 20s playing over 40s and other mid 20s actors playing under 20s even though they are all the same age.

We haven’t seen weird age-casting enough, I guess. But beside that I want to see family dynamics more. I was a sucker for Moonlight Chicken. Gimme something like that again.

NaniDew BL or at least them both together as Mains in a Show which is kind of queer baity.

Since they are selling Nani Dew Puppets at the GMMTV shop I am sus. They had weirdly mad chemistry at Homeschool if you ask me and I cant totally imagine them to try this out. But in the case that GMMTV don’t want to put them in a queer story I think they will at least queer bait us with them in a Midnight Museum kind of way.

FirstKhao in a BBS Styled Show with P’Aof

First and Khao wanted funny and lovely. They should get it. P’Aof could make them work in that. I can see that. So much.

Gem Fourth Plot is the political Nuchy Drama maybe.

I love it when they are playing kind of more serious scenes. And I think youngsters fighting the system, maybe throwing some molotowcocktails would fit them.

Femalelead Show from the PS I Hate you Team but in a PS I hate you way not in a the Jungle way

I loved Ps I hate you. I loved it so much. Sadly The Jungle didn’t do it for me so much. So maybe another try with the same girlies just with them as leads? Also make it sapphic pls.

Historical Drama with Phuwin or Pond or both in it

Not gonna lie they did GREAT in the Our Sky EP. If BL or not, Id love to see them in a historical setting.

Wishlist:

Midnight Museum 2 in actually queer with TayGun Canon

So I loved MM. I loved it so much and the ending was wilde. I need a second season and I want Katha and Dome be a thing and Tay and Gun make out, is this so hard to understand. A sapphic plotline would be nice to. Thank you.

EarthMix/JimmySea/FirstKhao in a mature Show.

Look. I’m a simple girl. I love Earth and Mix. So much. And that’s why they are on my card twice. I love First and Khao too. Which is also a reason for their double appearance. And I just want them to be matched with Jimmy and Sea because it would be awesome. And just  imagine them in a mature show, MAYBE even in a combination with the EarthMix Sexworker/Crime themed show I want them to be in. I want that. So much. And Jojo would make this so great.

Found Family, queer friends finding eachother, Golf Tanwarin directing

I love found family plots and after Eclipse I am so sure that P’Golf would create such a heartwarming and beautiful story on that topic. I trust her with that and it would be queer and lovely and maybe there would be some queer parenting plot but it wouldn’t be necessary but actually sweet and… aitekjrgf pls gimme this.

Papang in a main role in a polyship with Guy and Victor

No words. I want Papang in a main role. He SHOWED SO MANY TIMES that he would be great in one and why not putting him with those two together in a story about a polyromantic relationship that fights heteronormativity?

[respectthepetty]

Another day, another ask, but this time, it's about what are some currently airing shows that you're watching and really enjoying and how would you describe what you like about them briefly?

For example, The Warp Effect: Wholesome and sex positive QL, with so much representation and topics brought up weekly. Nothing like what I was expecting - in the best way.

Happy (Belated) Valentine's Day @sliceduplife! I hope it was kind to you because my response is going to be just like me and my favorite characters - problematic and absolute basura!

To begin, I'm actually going to tell you what I'm rewatching instead of currently watching:

Great Men Academy - Much like 3 Will Be Free and The Warp Effect, Great Men Academy isn't a BL, but it doesn't stop it from being queer af. It has a unicorn that grants wishes, a magical lake that requires nudity to activate, a ghost, a school sanctioned Hunger Games, body swapping, and an Elite level moment:

If you don't get the Elite reference, know that this lead-paint-level-toxic hottie, Cruz, delivered the best line ever uttered in the series:

¡No soy gay! Ni bi. Ni tri. ¡Soy futbolista! (I'm not gay! Not bi. Not tri. I'm a footballer!) <- I say "¡Soy futbolista!" all of the time when people ask about my sexuality without clarification and leave them in their confusion.

*moving on to your actual ask*

The Warp Effect - I came for Joy, the cinematographer who also did KinnPorsche, and Jojo, the director who does everything else I love, but stayed to see all the ways people could come... to an understanding about their sexuality. Also, it's very queer.

My Beautiful Man 2 - I do not condone stalking, but when it comes to my idol and his devoted worshiper, I'm trying to invent new ways of stalking, so Hira can always be within a 100 yards of Kiyoi. They should be more red flags than California during fire season, yet they are wholesome and adorable.

Well...in a very kinky way, kinda like these two wild kids from Secretary

Never Let Me Go - It has a teenager becoming the CEO of his family's multi-million dollar company and another teenager being his bodyguard falling in love! How could I not love it?! It's outrageous! And somehow the most unrealistic thing about this plot is there being a genuine good guy who openly talks about bitcoins, and I LOVE HIM! I did not have falling in love with a man who enjoys "investing" on my BINGO card, but then again, look at my very good boy. LOOK AT HIM!

Hit Bite Love - It's so messy. It has stepbrothers in love, open discussions about condom sizes and lubricant, Kinks-R-Us, a bi Burger looking for his King, and so much more. This past episode hid a pivotal scene behind a paywall due to the two characters having sex in the school's locker room, so half of the plot was missing in the edited version. It made NO SENSE, but I didn't care. Give me all the mess, but I draw the line at taking off your sock and putting it in someone's mouth. BAD BOY! VERY BAD BOY!

The End of the World with You - Japanese BLs stress me out. They give me a lot of an anxiety, and I'm constantly preparing for someone to die or for one of them to be a murderer. Even in the "happiest" Japanese BLs, there always exist this undercurrent of malice..and I'm attracted to it. >insert Ritsu aka El Diablo<

Moonlight Chicken - Eff "More than Friends, Less than Lovers!" That's child's play. Give me my HussyVille Gang Gang! Give me the "we've been breaking beds and each other's backs since day one, but I'm not even sure what his name is, and if I'm being honest, I don't really need to know" squad. Then, on top of that, it's EarthMix doing the devil's boogie?! I waited for over a year for this, and I don't say this often when it comes to men, but the anticipation was worth it.

HIStory 5: Love in the Future - I will always show up to a Taiwanese BL. They are like Rihanna at the Super Bowl. They do the bare minimum but are still very entertaining, include all the fan favorites (domestic bliss, high heat, office romances, good side couples, marriage equality), and pop out with a few surprises. Others may be disappointed, but I am ALWAYS pleased.

My School President - Did you read the list before this? There is a common underlying theme. Even if the show isn't messy, I'm going to find the mess and fixate on it, and it doesn't get stranger than Por's obsession with the chinchilla. GMM better get on merchandising this critter ASAP because there is a gold mine behind this, capitalizers.

Bed Friend - It hasn't started yet, but I'll be watching it. It has a Blue Boy and Red Rascal BUT they are not who would normally be coded that way, which means they are clearly going to have to resolve the reasons why they changed their behavior to cover up their obvious colors. Who hurt our Red Rascal that he turned into a nun? Who harmed our Blue Boy to make him the slutty slut he is? I cannot wait to find out!

Chains of Heart - One word: Papi. Wait, sorry. Let me try again: Poppy. The show has a plot, and I care about it, but...Poppy. He is playing a bad guy, which I got a glimpse of in Love Mechanics, so I'm hoping it means we get to see more of him, and I don't mean screen time, although I wouldn't be opposed to that either. Obviously, I have to be interested in the actual plot since he is a supporting character...but POPPY! mmmm, papi!

[yuplusjin]

Top five QL Leapees?

Wow, I can't choose bc there're so many favorites! I'll try to narrow them down though (in random order).

-young Al (Bingo) (obviously 😆)

-Jimmy

-Lee Harvey Oswald (mind merging with Sam gives me chills everytime I watch the episode)

-Gloria

-Dr.Ruth (liked mind merging with Dr.Ruth, even Al getting counsel from her 😂)

[befuddledcinnamonroll]

With many thanks to @icouldhyperfixatehim for the beautiful bingo card, here is my mishmash of wishes & predictions.

I am primarily thinking of QL here, but I will still claim credit if any of the straight stuff that I won't watch applies.

For anyone else who wants to join in, you can get the blank card here!
