#borderlands 3 hype

[geekyjems]

Feeling some kinda way about Borderlands

[condensed-ink]

As a Borderlands fan, I don't think I'll ever stop being baffled by the sheer fall-off of the series, man. Like, I remember after Borderlands 2 and the OG TFTB just how massive the hype was behind Borderlands 3. Now, however, after the addition of the shitshow that was the new TFTB and the movie, the collective reaction to the Borderlands 4 teaser has been everyone going "please don't be shit, please don't be shit, please don't be shit". Honestly, it feels like this game will either save the series or nail in the last nail in the coffin.

NINTENDO SWITCH !

“my chemical hype boy..!”

summary : chishiya and yn have always been academic rivals since 5th grade…embarrassing. chishiya was always one step ahead of her whether that be job lineups, studying, grades, anything. that has only fueled her hatred for him even more or well that’s what she thought was hatred. lets just say he felt the same way, maybe.

genre : slow burn kinda — university au! no borderlands — academic rivals to lovers — crack — fluff — slight angst

warnings: jokes abt death — cursing — sarcasm — maybe unfunny jokes idk — slow slow slow SLOW burn (xoxo)

drawtober day 3! rhys strongfork from tales from the borderlands 😏

EDIT: noticed a month later that i spelt his name wrong after playing scrabble with the letters when trying to get the typography as close the the album as possible! *deep breath* ahhhhhHHHH. i did reblog the corrected version, but i dont think enough people will see that, so im just gonna edit my og post!

ramblings, playlist link, & alternate version under the cut :)

i have so many thoughts and feelings about this!! i got the idea for this bc of the attached playlist (love it a lot btw. good job), and i was so excited to do a piece referencing album art. ive like never done any art that does a reinterpretation of another piece of art (theres another word for it that i believe starts with R but im having a brain fart and can't remember, bleh), so this was tons of fun!

u can bet ur bottom dollar i was listening to touch tone telephone for a while as i drew this 💀 it truly gets me hype. and for those unaware, this replication (theres the word!) was based off of the album spirit phone by lemon demon! at some point while going though this playlist i had a Vision ™ for today's drawtober (aka tuesday's, but ive been busy working so) and HAD to execute it 😎

uh, i used a brush i havent really used before for this as well! i tried to be painterly and it was quite fun :3c it's called spectra and it's on procreate for all my ipad babies out there. 10/10 i recommend it. i think i'll be painting with it more when im in the mood for those vibes tbh

so yeah, this is basically my fav so far. like, i enjoy this piece an unreasonable amount. i made it my wallpaper 😭

oct. 6th edit:

​I said id add the alternate version under cut and then never did 😭 my bad yall. here it is, actually under a cut

Not-Jojo content for a hot minute! Let's talk about the Borderlands movie...

First things first, I don't know if you know this, but my nickname comes from Borderlands. Although now I only talk and draw about Jojo's, I'm still a big fan of the Borderlands games.

When I played the first game, I loved the concept about sirens, and it was back then when I started using my actual nickname (circa 2010). Then, when Borderlands 2 came out, I was obsessed with Handsome Jack. And when I say obsessed, I mean OBSESSED with huge and bold capital letters. I consider Borderlands 2 the best Borderlands game of them all, and The Pre-Sequel is a close one just because of my full Jack obsession, lol.

Keep reading for my opinion about the trailer...

I don't remember when they announced that they were making a Borderlands movie, maybe 2017-ish??? I was extremely excited, thinking that they would adapt the story of the games (back then, I think Borderlands 3 wasn't even announced, but they could have started as a trilogy...). I even fantasized about the idea of Dameon Clarke, Handsome Jack's VA in English, being Jack in the movie as well. But that dream was long gone when I read that the film would not exactly follow up the story we all know. And the wait to see something about this movie was LONG.

I finally watched the trailer when they released it, and even it's not the story I was hoping to see... I kinda like it. I didn't feel the hype I expected being a huge Borderlands fan, but I think I can still enjoy it. Some stuff from the movie feels off (like Roland's personality... he doesn't feel like Roland at all... and where are Lilith siren tattoos!?!?!?), but other stuff feels total in the style of Borderlands (people bullying Claptrap in some way is a must). The movie has its flaws, but people on Reddit keep bitching about Lilith and Tannis being too old, Roland being too short... ugh, I don't fucking care about the cast not being aesthetically perfect (but I admit that I would have liked them to). If the actors and actresses do a good job interpreting their characters and the story fits the Borderlands' universe with good humor and action, I'll consider myself lucky.

That was my impression of the trailer in English, but I'm from Spain, so the next day I watched the trailer again, but dubbed in Spanish, and... it felt way funnier! At least Tina's phrases sounded funnier for me (instead of saying "it's in my mouth!" she says "I swallowed it" lmao), and some voices suit the characters better than the original ones. Usually, it's the other way around, lol!

I think the localization will improve the movie for me, and that gives me some hope to enjoy the movie besides all the bitching on Reddit. Seriously, guys, stop complaining about people's bodies... there are other things to be criticized...

To try to introduce myself into the mood, maybe I'll do a redraw of an old Borderlands fanart... it'll be coming soon!

[alicesoinions]

I now have one thing worth being grateful to Borderlands 3 for

Killing all my Borderlands hype before the movie could

Because if the movie came out before BL3 it would have fucking devastated me

Getting to know your BL mutuals - 2022 Edition

Simple, answer the questions. @ some people. Include the tag 'g2ky BL mutuals 2022' on your post so we can find everyone's answers!

Thank you to the lovely @sunflower-lychee for tagging me! I never get @ in these so I’m very happy 🥰

(Truthfully this year I have been kinda slow with watching new shows BUT I will do my best!) 

What has been the BL that took you by surprise this year?

Love In The Air!

I remember watching the pilot trailer when it aired but truthfully I forgot about this show until everyone started talking about it again 😅 Anyways... I fell in love so fast it’s not even funny. My mental health has been meh at best the past few months and I needed a show like LITA to just watch without having to really think :) Also the cast? Like?! In love with all four of them (especially Noeul).

The Eclipse!

I watched ep 1 when it first came out but never continued the show because I wasn’t feeling it (little did I know 🤡). Everyone was hyping this show up so I made myself sit down and watch it... ended up binging all 6 (aired) episodes and safe to say I was hooked... I mean if anyone on here saw my blog you were probably fed up of me talking about this show (very sorry). So yeah... It’s now one of my favourite BLs. We won’t talk about the cast because I will never stop, lets just say I am now a Neo and khaotung fanpage!  

This technically doesn’t count but I finally watched Bad Buddy this year and I’m mad at myself for waiting so long.

What has been the BL that you felt a bit disappointed with this year?

Cutie Pie- I didn’t dislike it but I found myself getting bored and skipping a lot, especially towards the end... shout out to Perth in that black shirt tho😏 Also loved the side couples

Even Sun- Listen I will do anything for BounPrem but lord I was struggling with this one. Why was the intro so long?! also who wrote the script because ooft. Skipped everything apart from the BounPrem scenes. 

What has been your favourite BL this year?

KinnPorsche- Lets all act surprised! This show was my entire personality all summer and the reason I came back to tumblr lol. Met so many lovely and amazing people because of this show and it will always have a special place in my heart. It also gave us the masterpiece that is Why Don’t You Stay aka my most played song of 2022. Again the cast is everything to me! 

Semantic Error- No explanation needed for this one really. I swear Seoham has been in the military for years! Why is it going so slowly?! 

Between Us- Are we only 4 episodes in? Yes. Do I care? NOPE! After waiting almost 3 years they could just stand in that locker room arguing for 12 episodes and I would still watch every second! As much as i tried not to, I did and still do have high expectations for this show BUT so far everything is perfect- I don’t really care about Team’s friends as characters or the relationship between Bee and Prince? but I also don’t hate it.

Favourite BL couples (not just of 2022)?

This is so hard to narrow down 😭 (I will refrain from going into detail otherwise we will be here all day)

WinTeam (I mean ^) 

RamKing (My Engineer) 

Sangwoo and Jaeyoung (Semantic Error)

PatPran (Bad Buddy)

VegasPete (KinnPorsche)

RainPayu and SkyPrapai (Payu and Pai are THE perfect boyfriends) 

AkkAyan (I truly can’t tell if it’s because I love the characters or if I am just down so bad for First and Khao 🥲)

There’s definitely more couples who should be on this list but my brain isn’t working rn

If you had to suggest a BL for someone what would it be?

Not Me- Everyone needs to watch it at least once in their live

Young Royals- It was actually my friend who doesn’t watch BLs that recommended it to me 

We Best Love- Maybe It’s just me but I adore that show

Also Where Your Eyes Linger so there is someone else who can suffer with me about how short it was! 

What's your non-BL favourite for this year?

This spot is strictly for Alice In Borderland 2 (when it airs) 

BUT

Until then... Business Proposal and Bridgerton.

This was so much harder than i thought it would be omg... anyways my aks are always open and I love talking about anything with anyone so feel free to say hi :) 

Tagging: @ahdriking @kurtstiel and @aleng-neng (and anyone else who wants to join in)

(If any of you already did this and I missed it, I am sorry 😅)

[goldyluna]

WAIT I DIDNT REALIZE YOU AKREADY ANSWERED 16 IGNORE MY LAST ASK

hmm how about 19 or 20 instead ?? :0

haha, dw :3

19. Your current fandom(s)

There is a lot. Through years I loved a lot of media and my favourite fandoms change a lot, but usually I go back to some after some time.

My all time main fandom I love and I am actively participating is Your Turn To Die. If I'm being honest, it is the ONLY fandom I interact with people so much. Usually I just enjoy the oryginal or the fan content (and sometimes do something myself).

But to do a list, the fandoms (not in any specific order) I am active on different levels, as I search posts, fanart and whatnots are:

Your Turn To Die - not very big fandom, but it feels so cosy here. I hope to stay in this fandom for a very long time <3

My Hero Academia - it is a come-and-go kind of interest, but now that it is so close to the end, I went back into the rabbit hole. I should pick up my AU too. It is a little dusty, oops.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - I am more of an art-searching type of girl with this one so this fandom is more in the background. But I have my own AU and I like searching some deep analises about this anime sometimes (usually if I need something to the AU).

Project Sekai - I am pretty new to the fandom and it can be really tricky, but I love the story and characters and all things people make. And I love reading posts about my favs.

Trash of the Counts Family - one of my favourite manhwas that I keep up with and I find people interacting with this fandom really interesting.

There are more fandoms I am in, but I don't think they are so significant right now. There will be a new season of Sweet Home, so I may be more hyped about it then. But also the fandoms I may not be so active in interactive with, but I still like and I don't scroll away if I see them are: My Little Pony, Undertale, Omori, Fran Bow, ATLA, Alice in Borderland and Hunger Games.

20. Your very first fandom!

Ohhhh, this question makes me nostalgic. I don't know if it was my first first fandom, but I was so into Phineas and Ferb! I don't remember how young I was—I think it was during my primary school—and I looooooved reading fanfics about Phineas (he was my favourite character). I know that because of that I started to learn more English, as a lot of things were written in that language, so I google-translate it and learnt new words in the process. I can't say I was really aware of the fandom as a whole then, I loved reading and looking at art, but I didn't really interact more than leaving a like. But this makes me remember something that—I think—is a nice anecdote. I always was interested in writting, but I wasn't good in it. So, young me got the brightest idea to google translate the fanfic, make it more grammaticaly correct (as the translation was kind of shit) and to take it as my own fanfic. FORTUNATELY, I didn't go with the idea, because I got bored with it. And well, now I write my own stuff and younger me can be proud now (if she wouldn't try to steal it again, this time from myself XD).

But there was another fandom I really loved when I was young. Vocaloids. Tbh, I don't know if I really was in the fandom, I just really loved KAITO. I am more into the Vocaloids now as I play Project Sekai.

List 10 Comfort Shows

Tagged by @thegalwhorants! Thx for the tag! (I think someone else might’ve tagged me as well a while back, but I’ve been going back through my mentions and I can’t find it…if that’s you, I’m sorry!) A lot of these are purely for sentimental value. They all have a special place in my heart.

1. Outlander - It’s the vibe of this for me. The beautiful Scottish highlands, the music, the characters. Claire is my spirit animal.

2. The Eclipse - *Everyone pretends to be shocked* …not much to say except I love it. FK = comfort.

3. Young Royals - I don’t know what to say about this except it’s such a sad, heartfelt story told in a short amount of time.

4. Agents of Shield - I watched all of this as it was airing with my sister and it just feels very close to my heart.

5. Alice in Borderland - Idk if I’d call this a comfort show exactly, but I love it so much that I couldn’t not include it.

6. Bad Buddy - This technically wasn’t my first BL, but it’s the first show that really got me into BL, specifically GMMTV’s content. Also, that rooftop kiss had me bawling for days. They make my heart so happy.

7. SKAM (all versions, but specifically France) - I can’t explain why, this show just had such a hold on me.

8. The Office - Yes, I know this is a very basic answer. It’s funny, ok?? Lol. (When it comes to comedy, I am also a big New Girl fan @thegalwhorants!)

9. Not Me - I love Gun sm. Also, Yok? I’m in love. Anything with First is comforting tbh.

10. Stranger Things - Specifically the first season. I was just OBSESSED with the vibe back when I first watched it. I probably watched it 10 times. Also a very basic answer, I know.

I know this isn’t what this game is about, but I want to throw out a most-anticipated show, because I’m getting really hyped about it and it just screams nostalgia/comfort—Percy Jackson. I just can’t help but bring it up, haha.

Because I feel like I’m a little late to this game as well, I’m not sure who to tag who hasn’t already played. If you’re seeing this, consider yourself tagged! <3

[roleplayfinder]

Rips my shirt off. Borderlands.

The movie trailer drops tomorrow, I just finished replaying 3, and I'm hype. I wanna get some rps going!

I am 30+ adv lit rper, looking for anyone 25+. I usually post like once a week, usually in the 4+ paragraph range, and I ask you to do the same.

I have a few characters up for grabs-- a siren tech wiz, a bandit leader, and the current CEO of Tediore-- and I'd love to plot them against anyone! I'm only looking for men for shipping, but I'll take anyone for platonic plots. If you want to play a canon character, you are more than welcome to (I would LOVE Mordecai, Krieg, Troy, Zer0, or Jack), but to note **I do not want to double.** Please don't ask, I'm not interested.

If you're still interested, like this and I'll get in contact with you!

[xpiester333x]

And finally, to complete my yearly game posts, here's what I plan on playing in the year 2024:

1. Assemble With Care - a short little game I should be able to knock out in a few hours but I picked it up in a bundle and I have wanted to play it so I will try to knock it out this year.

2. I'm more than half way done with Baldur's Gate 3 but I likely will be playing it through January. I hope to finish it at least once before P3R.

3. Bloodborne - help.

4. Borderlands 2 - since I had such a blast playing Borderlands with my boyfriend this year, I'm looking forward to giving this game a second chance and hopefully enjoying it much more.

5. Borderlands 3 - a little less hopeful for this one, since I haven't heard much good about it, but might as well knock out the main franchise.

6. Boyfriend Dungeon - I just got this for Christmas and I'm excited for the concept of romancing my weapons :)

7. I'm also more than halfway through Catherine, so I also intend to finish that in the coming month.

8. Cat Museum - something cute and short I picked up on mega sale and want to make an effort to play this year.

9. The Coffin of Andy and Leyley - I actually have no idea what this game is about or if I'll like it but it was a gift so dammit I'll play it.

10. Dragon's Dogma 2 - Dragon's Dogma is easily in my top 10 games of all time, and I am SO hype for this game. The only downside is it's coming in March, and the first quarter of 2024 is pretty PACKED with games for me.

11. Etrian Odyssey - because I never finished it when I owned it on DS but I'm in my Atlus Games era rn so

12. Far: Lone Sails - I was drawn to this game for the art and it seems like a quick little experience of a game.

13. Final Fantasy 16 DLC - blanketing over the currently available DLC and the up and coming DLC.

14. Hades - a carry over from 2023's list but THIS WILL BE THE YEAR (maybe)

15. Haven - I don't think (?) this game is very long but it looks very heartwarming so I'm here for it this year.

16. Little Nightmares 2 - another fairly short game that I have no reason not to play, especially when I'm obsessed with the first one.

17. Little Nightmares 3 - I don't know what the release date is yet but like Borderlands let's try to close out a franchise!

18. Metaphor: ReFantazio - it doesn't even have a release date and I'm already excited about it.

21. Nier Automata - another carry over from 2023, but I have a good feeling about it this year.

19. NEO: The World Ends With You - I hear only good things about this game but I will be walking into it 98% blind.

20. Nightingale - Idk how much I'll actually play this game but my friend and I have been watching its development for years and we are READY

22. Nier Replicant - I watched a friend play some of this and it looked fun, and since I saw it was free on PS plus... why not.

23. Octopath Traveler - this is to feed my JRPG addiction but break up some of my Atlus obsession

24. Opus: Echo of Starsong - This was a gift like 2 years ago and I really want to play it through this year.

25. Persona 3 Reload - I ALREADY TOOK VACATION FOR IT IM SO READY 38 MORE DAYS

26. Persona 4 Arena - Because I think it's the only readily available Persona game I haven't played yet.

27. Sea of Stars - I'm more than half through this too, I stopped playing it to play Tactica so I'll be finishing this soon as well.

28. Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne - I put a fair amount of time into it this year, and I adore this game. I'm finishing it next year.

29. Shin Megami Tensei 5 - for real this year, I promise (🤞)

31. Undertale - why have I not played this? Why did it sit on my list last year untouched? Why did I install it and never play it? The world may never know.

30. Soul Hackers 2 - because again, I'm in my Atlus Games era and I bought it this year so time to play it.

32. Untitled Goose Game - for casual hijinks

I'm even more ambitious this year than last year and thats without knowing even half of whats to be released in 2024 sooo wish me luck.

[aceofspadegrass]

I don't know if you still do requests because your pinned posts says you do but it's 1 1/2 years old so I'm not sure, but I do have a fic/hc (whatever you wanna do) request for Niragi getting a squish (platonic crush) on the reader and how him dealing with it. Sorry if this is really vague and a bit awkward, I've never really requested anything before 👉👈

I do, I just don't always got the idea juices for it.

Now, Niragi getting a squish? Let's do Headcanons, easier on my end and hopefully enough for you, alright? Don't fret, you're doing fine. :D

I don't know which part of Niragi you want, so.... Three times. Pregame, In the Borderlands, and Post-ish Version. I do hope it's enjoyable, it's been forever since I've done a request.

---

Pre-Borderland

-Niragi always saw you around town, minding your own business, but hell was he about to approach you.

-I mean, look at him. Look at you. He doesn't know why, but he feels like he's got to make a good impression for you. And he's still somewhat an outcast, even if he's making efforts to not be.

-(He's also scared he'll scare you. You look very polite.)

-(Not that he'll admit that.)

-He's still low-key stalking you for information though. Whenever he catches a glimpse of you he keeps in mind where you tend to go, what you buy (if any), what kind of friends you upkeep. He's follow sometimes, but he's still aware of his surroundings and won't go where it would look really weird on his end.

-He's hyping himself in that way that most people (including him) assume would be 'Oh I have a crush I want to impress my crush' but for whatever reason he can't imagine actually doing that. He just kind of wants to really spin you at insane speeds though. Tease you and show off games with you in them (Not that anyone else knows who Random NPC #3 is). Cute aggression.

-Alas, Niragi never gets an explanation why he really likes you but not how he normally gets with other people. Romance, he could try, but friendship like a normal person? Hah, he has better luck making butter.

-(He's been hyping himself up in an attempt to talk to you about a shared interest.)

Borderland

-Niragi finds you at random during a game, and immediately latches onto you. Does his normal thing to everyone else, but for whatever reason laid claim to you specifically.

-You and him are both lucky it's a Clubs game involving clusters dying so less chance of death if you did pair up.

-Surprisingly, or not surprisingly, Niragi gets along really damn well with you. He's being touchy feely with you, but whether you reciprocate is your choice. But either way Niragi is being... Kind of unbearably handsy. Like he wants to hold you forever or something.

-But he can't. You're not a part of the Beach, and he has responsibilities to fulfill. You stay on his mind, and despite it all he just wants to hold you again. That's it.

-Niragi did try to imagine something further once he finds you and drags you screaming to the Beach, maybe parade you around like a trophy, but the only images he could get was maybe getting a drink together and making fun of everyone by the poolside. Mean Girls style.

-Cut to him punching a wall because he misses you.

-Whether or not he actually finds you again is up to life, and we both know that fucker isn't dying anytime soon. If he does though, he's definitely going for you, hit up a chat and pray that you aren't repulsed by his mere presence.

-He has no idea why your opinion matters so much to him, but it does. He wants to see you happy and thriving. Or at the very least not dead.

-Niragi WILL break a door down and get soft tacos with you. Kidnap you if he has to.

Post

-You're a volunteer for the effort, that's how he meets you.

-As volunteer, that means you and him don't have all day with each other, but what time you do allot to Mr. No Eyebrows he cherishes a LOT.

-He thinks you're very, VERY sweet to him, and even when he has no idea what happened, he really likes talking to you.

-It's not his fault when he gets a little pouty when other volunteers that aren't you come by to check on him.

-You think it's hilarious how much he lights up every time he sees you.

-Niragi thinks up conversation topics in bed, and 75% of them are game related because he's a nerd.

-Even in bed and a burn victim does he try to seduce you into the 'Please Interact With Me More' mindset. It's working, and he's elated to be able to talk to you.

-He also, in his medicated delirium, occasionally believes this is a romance crush, because nobody tells him what squishes are. But then he feels bad because he doesn't want to put his chapped lips on yours. A hug would be nice.... If it hurt less.

Hello my dearest ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 4, 9, 11, 23 (but I challenge you to give me one I might not know about >:3) and 24 for the video game asks!!

thank you my love!!!! <3

4. What originally got you into gaming?

oh damn i honestly don't really remember?? i think i was 14ish and saw a lot of ppl talking abt it and making references to it and i wanted to be included so i asked for some game recs for beginners hehe

9. What game(s) do you most wish had a sequel or continuation?

i wanna say tales from the borderlands but. it technically has one. it's just bad. i mean one where i can see what happened to the characters and have another adventure with them (either as playables or not) that's also as well written as the first 💔

11. What game were you hyped for and it did deliver?

TINY TINA'S WONDERLANDS holy shit i cannot overstate how high my expectations for it were and how it delivered on all of them and then some. it's a perfect game imo, crazy to think a lot of it was made during covid, it's amazing

23. Any videogame OTPs?

well ake//shu is an obvious one :P but syl//vix from fe3h means soooo much to me, so do dimi//claude and dimi//due. also big fan of ze//rhys from borderlands, their dynamic in bl3 is insane to me <3

24. If you could punch one video game character in the face, who would it be?

technically already answered but i can always give more! madarame :) i would hit an elderly man if needed. don't hurt yusuke or else

send some video game asks?

🔥 Wainlock, Siren!Rhys, Eldritch!Wainwright, Rhys in general, maybe New Tales if you feel like touching that topic

For wainlock: I don't really have a bad option... like at all. The closest to an unpopular opinion is that I wish more of the raiders would show up to their wedding instead of just Gaige and Claptrap.

Same thing for Eldritch! Wainwright, but that's because I have a soft spot for monster au, if that makes any sense.

For Rhys: I was first introduced to Rhys in Borderlands 3, so I didn't realize that he was a main character in tftbl, not his popularity. Honestly I prefer his 3 appearance rather than his first appearance, mustache included (heck after the Prometheus arc, when he asked you about it, I ended up complimenting it since I was like "I'll give him a break, he's been through a lot"

Siren! Rhys: This is actually the main reason why I hate male sirens (heck it's also the reason why I call Troy a fake) since a lot would be rhack and/or have Lilith bashing, especially if it's trans Rhys because those writers would make Lilith a transphobic bitch.

As for New Tales: this isn't really about the game itself but......I think people hype up Lor a little too much. Also L0U13 deserves better, but I think that's something that most would agree with.

Getting to Know Your BL Mutuals

rules: answer the questions and tag some people. include the tag ‘g2ky BL mutuals 2022’ on your post so we can find everyone’s answer. 

(optional ofc <33)

i was tagged by @braceletofteeth <33 thank you!!

wow this got really long,, good luck yall

What were the BLs that took you by surprise last year? 

i won't lie, i wasn't surprised that i enjoyed kinnporsche, but to the extent that i did (and of course still do), that was kinda surprising. they had me paying to watch a livestream of gay™ the musical, and i'm not even mad. it was my first thai bl, so, oh lord, my standards were raised.

last twilight in phuket - controversial, but i think i prefer it to i told sunset about you (though itsay is so so good). i didn't know 13.43 mins could make me feel so much, but there we are, and i'm very happy to be in that situation.

What were the BLs that you felt a bit disappointed with last year? 

oh i have some very controversial opinions on this–

- there's one that everyone really loves that i didn't finish, thought it was trying to be bigger than what it was (if that makes sense), and just found it really... boring. it got to one plot line and i'd had enough– though i'm willing to give it a re-try because, granted, i was in a kinnporsche mourning period when it came out. im not even gonna name it because i swear everyone i follow loves it (welp-)

- to my star

again, controversial, but i haven't seen this being talked about as much as the last one. i haven't seen s2, but oh my god, i'm sorry but i was so bored, and this was before kinnporsche so my standards weren't even insanely high, yeahhh

- blueming

it wasn't *bad*, but the way everyone hyped up made me think it was gonna be something really special, yeah i was definitely disappointed

- cutie pie

didn't finish. arranged marriage is never my favourite, but i'd heard so many people say how good it was, and sometimes you have to trust the crowd. i didn't find that here. i may well re-try it, along with the unnamed show further up, but yeahhhh. best part was perth, and he genuinely might be the only reason i try it again.

What was your favourite BL last year? 

unsurprisingly, kinnporsche :)

i'd been without a favourite show for a little while, which is so so unlike me. i tend to need something to consume me and kinnporsche just did that. first ep and holy fucking shit, *that* is what i'm talking about. i hadn't actually heard of it until an edit came up on instagram, and i instantly downloaded iqiyi, found ep 1 and 2 were out, binged those, and fell in love really

when i say it became my favourite show just from the first episode, i truly mean that. it was the biggest power move of a first episode and ughdhdh perfect <33

i've tried (and will continue to try) to convince my mates to watch it. i have been successful once with the whole show. a few of my mates just know vegaspete as KFCock, but yknow a win is a win, they are aware of their existence, which i'll gladly take.

Favourite BL/GL couples (not just of 2022) 

grouped by show/film~

kinn and porsche (kinnporsche)

vegas and pete (kinnporsche)

kim and chay (kinnporsche)

arm and pol (kinnporsche - they're canon idc)

chan and big (kinnporsche - also canon, you cannot convince me otherwise)

moon-jo and jong-woo (strangers from hell - absolutely canon)

oh-aew and teh (i told sunset about you – but not after ep 3 of i promised you the moon, nawww i'm so mad)

art and golf (till the world ends)

joke and long (till the world ends)

sam and mon (gap)

arisa and ying (the stranded)

nat and gun (the stranded)

jack and krit (the stranded)

jia-han and birdy (your name engraved herein)

kuina and ann (alice in borderland)

jae-young and sang-woo (semantic error)

tae-sung and hae-bom (cherry blossoms after winter)

park and pong (big dragon – i've watched 4 eps, i'm staying for them and them only. yai and mangkorn? no- park and pong? fuck yeah!! i haven't finished it yet, i'm doing one ep per night, so four more to go. i'm surprised it's getting a season 2, but i'll take it for park and pong instead of the main two ✋️✋️)

that was long– anyway it turns out i definitely need more gl recs, which i expected, but yeah, please gimme recs

If you had to suggest a BL for someone, what would it be? 

allow me to suggest a few~~

kinnporsche

- mafia, but *sometimes* make it wholesome. and then add a hearty dose of PAIN. perfect :D,, i know i've already said it, but i'll say it again it's consumed me, and i'm so grateful. i had some of the worst exams when it was coming out, and kinnporsche genuinely got me through each week, kept me smiling, made everything just a bit more bearable, and i am forever grateful for that.

strangers from hell

- what do you mean it's not a bl. of course it is. whatever moon-jo and jong-woo have going on is most definitely *not* heterosexual. also there was way more chemistry between those two than jong-woo and ji-eun. if you're looking for a comfort psychological thriller, this is it :D - i mean it's the most wholesome show i've ever watched, just two guys bonding over shared interests and falling in love (aww)

till the world ends

- on my knees begging someone to watch it– it's really pretty, made me cry, from a very small film company and eee i love it

i told sunset about you (& last twilight in phuket)

- so so aesthetic and pretty and ughfhhf– last twilight in phuket is maybe one of the prettiest thing i've seen. itsay is also so so pretty. HOWEVER, for the sake of your own sanity, don't watch i promised you the moon. i mean ep 1 is really good, but after ep 3 and maybe ep 2? hell naw

semantic error

- this may have been my first bl? idk, anyway, it'll forever have a soft spot in my heart, it's wholesome enemies to lovers 😌😌 also i'll say series > film – the film is literally 3 hours long, which i wasn't prepared for so that's kinda on me, but yeah

cherry blossoms after winter

- i had shitty mocks when this came out and it made every thursday so much better. it's really wholesome and very much screams comfort.

the stranded

not explicitly a bl, however there's one canon mlm couple, another borderline canon mlm ship, and basically canon lesbians. it's kinda like a thai teen version of lost (idk if any of yall have seen that) but yeah :)

What was your non-BL favourite last year? 

oooooooh~~

i think it's gonna have to be happiness

mwah, beautiful, stunning — childhood friends with unrequited love to fake marriage to found family to requited love, and zombies like that is the SHIT!!

south korea just owns zombies honestly, because everything i've seen is so good, even the not so well rated ones (this,, train to busan, all of us are, #alive - to some extent)

other mentions 😌😌

:: little women (the kdrama) is another elite show, highly highly recommend it. my trust levels went all over the place during it, but hell yeah

though i do feel robbed about a certain ship. not even a hug :|

:: money heist korea is another one!

forgive me for not having watched the original,, but anyway i've heard that tokyo's really annoying in the original which sucks :/ oH nairobi is bi, because i said so

the end~
