#can’t win them all i guess

[firstkanaphans]

Hi Sarah :) I hope you're having a beautiful day. I'm still learning so much BL history and I was hoping you'd be willing to elaborate a little on your tag "Saint has given so much to an industry that was so cruel to him." I really only know that he worked with Perth and Zee but I don't know anything beyond that.

Hiiii!!!

Whatever you are imagining, I guarantee it’s worse…

So Saint and Perth worked on Love by Chance together in 2018 and there was a lot of drama going on behind the scenes between their managers. Most of the Love by Chance cast—including Perth—was managed by the same company. I’m pretty sure Saint was the only one who wasn’t and Perth’s management did not like that. They did everything they possibly could to shun Saint from the production, including ACCUSING HIM OF BEING A SEX WORKER.

They started a bunch of rumors about how Saint’s management was selling him to rich old men and insinuated that’s how he was booking jobs. Adults said this. About a nineteen-year-old. Because they were mad he got cast in the lead role of a BL series instead of one of their actors. They eventually apologized, admitting culpability in the process, but dear lord.

It’s also important to note that Perth was a literal child at the time and had no clue what his management was doing. He and Saint have somehow managed to stay friends despite all of this, but Saint obviously refused to come back for LBC 2.

There’s a pretty good YouTube video that breaks it all down here if you’re interested.

After that, Saint still agreed to do Why R U? with Zee. Their rift is a bit more run-of-the-mill—because what could possibly top accusing a teenager of being a sex worker??!—but I believe the story is that Saint pissed off some of Zee’s stans by making a joke during an interview about how Zee never texts him back. (Which is ironic coming from the FK fandom where First does this to Khaotung literally all the time.) Zee’s stans canceled him, doing the usual cyberbullying routine on social media, and he hasn’t been in a BL since.

Truly, I don’t think this industry has put anyone through more hell than Saint and although he never really talks about it, Perth has gotten a lot more open in recent years about how much the industry has damaged his mental health and I have to think a lot of that is because of this incident specifically. He was only sixteen at the time!

But despite (or maybe because of) all of that, Saint created a production company that seems to treat its actors very well and encourages them to live life to the queerest if that’s what they want to do. I doubt we’ll ever see Saint act in anything that he isn’t producing himself again, which is a shame, but I will always be thankful to him for taking a chance on GAP. He literally paid for that production out of his own pocket with no guarantee that it would be successful simply because he believed that queer women should be able to see themselves represented on screen. He’s a true ally and that’s why I try to support Idol Factory regardless of whether their shows are to my taste or not.

glumly kicks a rock down the street. If Dorian cameos - and he still can, unlike say Zevran who can be dead and whose presence would be something that has to be player-selected on import - then I don’t even get to choose whether I had high or low approval with him? Don’t get a line about our magic rock cell phone unless we romanced him?

(No seriously I can’t fucking believe the Well of Sorrows only matters for that one scene with Flemeth and then the spirits in the Crossroads in Trespasser. Morrigan and the Inquisitor both return and it doesn’t come up. I’m not surprised they didn’t want to be burdened by all of the choices, that makes sense, there’s a lot of moving parts, of course they moved us out of southern Thedas so they don’t have to deal in depth with most of that, I understand for game dev reasons most of it, but the Well?? The Well of fucking Sorrows? Actually you know what, that loops around to being funny. I’m fine with it now. That’s funny.)

i hate how this thing goes from “creepy little Princess Mononoke kodama-looking fucker” to “literally just the reddit mascot” with the addition of that dreamworks-face mouth

I don’t think there’s any new reporting on the checo re-signing. I’m pretty sure it’s all just new articles republishing conflicting quotes from Horner and Marko on when they’d have a decision that were given pre Monaco GP. My guess is that checo’s team are pushing to recirculate the narrative that a new contract is still on the way because he had two stinkers in a row and they want to get ahead of the seat discourse.

I’d like to think it’s checo’s way of trying to make sure that one-year contract is still available for him to sign, when it’s probably not …

[adore-gregor]

Yeah whatever but you're still my goat 🐐 either way Gregor 😌

What am I working on? Nothing, really. Just an exceedingly self-indulgent fic where Garou and Genos come from the same place.

On the…plus??? Side I do actually know at least some of the behavior that the tags were referring to wasn’t actually me.

I guess the real lesson from this is that there’s no point in trying to support a character you like, you just have to be pleasant enough that people would want to maybe vote for who you say in the tags. Funny joke comments don’t help tho (especially if they rely on a more caustic speech style), and anything that could be considered negative to the other side will make people who don’t know anything about either annoyed.

You’ve been obsessed with that bloody game, everyday Simon came back home, your eyes are glued to the screen, fingers dancing across the keyboard as you brush off his suggestions to ‘have some cuddles’ the fifth time this week. Simon’s getting more pent-up day by day, especially when you’re only wearing your panties and one of his shirts, the cloth of the lace peeking out of the hem as if taunting him, and those plump lips of yours pout every time you lose a match, yet you don’t give him any chance to dive in and taste them before you start another match, adding with a mild-annoyed “Simon, I’m in a match!” when he tries to at least sneak a kiss. Don’t want to get off the stupid game? alright, he’ll abide by your wish, make you sit on his lap, his big palms playing your breasts, one of his thick thighs bouncing up to stimulate your cute little bud between your folds, until it’s hardened and you try to rub down against him.

“Don’t move, love.” Simon pushes your panties aside, let out a synchronized moan with you as his fat cock split you in half.

“Simon, move, move…please baby…!” Your eyes can’t even focused on the screen anymore, all you can think is his shaft, buried deep inside your cunt, your pussy juice smearing his crotch. Trying to fuck yourself downwards on him, only to get stopped by his hands, gripping tightly around your pillow thighs and anchoring you on his hips.

“Love this game so much, eh? then keep playing, sweetheart.” He rolls his hips slowly, just enough to keep grinding against the right spots inside you, your pussy squelching obscenely at how wet you are. “Win a match, then I’ll give you what you want.” Emphasizing his words with a hard thrust, you can hear Simon laughing, feeling the low deep rumble of his chest when your eyes rolling back in pleasure and your hand on the mouse stutters.

“But from how you get fucked stupid already just by sitting on my cock, I guess it’ll take a few more matches for you to win, yeah?”
