The Three Stages of Third Wheeling:

1. Blissful obliviousness

2. Not being the love interest

3. Oh.

i think it should be mandatory for every single actor-person in the entire world, who stars in romance stories of some kind, to learn how to kiss from gay taiwanese dramas and ji chang wook. every. single. one. Like until you can kiss like them you aren’t and never will be doing it right. that’s just my objective opinion.

This Is A Gay Asian Rant About BL Comments Made By Some Queer Westerners I See Sometimes.

So you know of those gays (usually white) that made dumb tiktok dancing to list of countries that legalized same sex marriage and list of countries that discriminate against LGBTQIA+ poeple as a way to say something racist. yeah i kinda got the same vibes from some comments regard how asian BL is homophobic just cause they don't live up to queer western standard. look, i'm not saying that some BLs and their creators don't deserve criticism regard how they capitalized/exploited queerness for an easy cash grab.

But people need to understand that Asian countries despite recent progress are still very much culturally conservatives. so when people says that thai bl is homophobic and all the characters looks like bunch of straight guys, which is true for some olders thai BLs i'm not gonna denied that. but after all this time and newer BLs generally being very queer and most of creators being out queer themself and poeple still making these comments, i'm annoyed.

And don't get me start on the actors. you don't know them! why are you making assumption and calling them queerbaiter just cause they acts in bl. like maybe they're straight, maybe they're not but what they're definitely doing is making queer content for you know, queer people here. so when you made halfass comments about their sexuality what do you think that made other queer people who still in the closet feels. and when you add the nationality to that, "these thai bl pair are this and that, this korean actor is so ungrateful for his bl past", etc. when our societies are still very much still in progress regard LGBTQIA+ acceptance. it make us living here feels fucking awful like somehow we're lesser queer than people in the west just cause we don't have citibank at pride or some shit.

And the shittiest in my humbled opinion are comments regard censored chinese bls. people do know like, that the creators making these bls are risking their livelihoods for this. that these shows getting make at all are miracles. yes it sucked that they're censored but they're still very much queer shows making by queer people who want to express thier queerness despite the chinese government being the chinese government. when people dimissing these shows as not belonging in queer media, you're also dimissing their creators and audiences as not belonging in the community.

Look what i want to say is that we're trying our best over here, and maybe our best are not up to your liking. the ways we talk and express our queerness maybe still can be perceived as problematic by western queer standard. but these media are our house and you're the guests. for people aren't shitty we appreciated that you're here engaging and loving our media, this is your home too and you're welcome in it. i can speak for myself that i very much love being here on tumblr and interacting with people from all over the world who love BL. but for people who are being shitty sometimes about asian bl.

YOU'RE THE GUESTS, BEHAVE!

EDITED Unknown nc scene (2.0). The flow of this scene has been bothering me, I think it was the flipping of positions every few seconds mixed with flashbacks so I've attempted to edit it again. It's not perfect but I can't stop watching.

The absolute gay 'please let me control myself as I live out a dream but also a nightmare' in this moment just destroyed me. Tian is in love. He loves Wang on every level and he wants to kiss him and to hold him and love him and now he is being invited not just into his bed but to share his blanket and it is everything he wants but also none of it.

I FIGURED OUT WHAT IT IS ABOUT TAIWANESE DRAMAS!!!!!

okay so if you are sort of familiar with my various spiels of nonsense you’ll likely know I have an obsession with taiwanese dramas that extends far beyond normal human comprehension and I have been trying to delve into why they make me feel so insane for the longest time

well, in the midst of me watching HIStory 2: crossing the line I have figured it out!

it’s the mannerisms and habits of the characters?!?!? no other drama style I’ve seen does it the way taiwan does it and it makes me insane.

they take the most human moments of every character and magnify it into that Characters Specific Image. and it works so goddamn well because habits and mannerisms are one of my favourite “holy fuck we’re all human and strange and wonderful and isn’t that insane??” feelings so when they deep dive right into that I go absolutely batshit every time

in conclusion: I fucking love them! and their uniqueness in this sense. BECAUSE of their uniqueness in this.

(also I’m loving H2:ctl)
