MY SCHOOL PRESIDENT – REPRESENTATION MATTERS

Maybe it's just my own wishful thinking, and maybe it's too early to tell for sure (though I don't think so), but remembering what Producer Aof, Director Au and the rest of the team did with Bad Buddy – it looks like the MSP team is giving a positive shout-out to the spectrum, even while anchoring the series firmly within the BL genre.

We have–

TinnGun – gay

SoundWin – gay, though Win may be bi/pan

TiwPor – likely gay

YoNook – straight

And Ep.7 suggests Pat may be straight/bi/pan but he comes across as more ace or arrow (to me at least).

And FINALLY the lesbians get a mention! 😍

(above) Ep.7 [3I4] 5.04 – musical-loving lesbians exist, even if they do break Pat's heart

I'm just hoping they give us a trans character somewhere too – oh WAIT a goshdang hot Bangkok minute, they already did! 😍

(above) Ep.5 [3I4] 7.13

The role of the producer at GMM Music in Ep.5 was played by actor and host Golf Kittipat Chalaragse, who openly identifies as a transgender woman.

It's important to note that she is treated by the boys with utmost respect in her one scene, and also that she broke disappointing news to Gun (not being shortlisted for signing despite his obvious talent) with kindness and empathy.

This quietly positive portrayal of a trans character in a position of influence is important for all the trans kids out there who might be watching this. (And yes, I'm aware that Golf's character in the show is not specifically identified as trans, but given her fame in Thailand I think most Thai viewers would see her as such.)

Bearing in mind that My School President is a lightly-crafted Thai-style High School Musical taking place in a QL universe, I believe that it is still carrying the sense of mission previous (more strident) Thai QL dramas have been sounding – The Eclipse, Not Me, and even Bad Buddy come to mind.

As with most other QL series, no one is treated as being less than anybody else based on gender or sexuality. So the boys take their Ep.6 music video – about the awkwardness of being in love while in the friendzone – happily into BL territory, free from any fear of societal judgement.

Previous dramas that did this (to the best of my memory) had an older target demographic, but this one is sending out a message of hope and normalization to a younger audience that it's OK if your sexuality or gender isn't society's perceived norm.

And to those who fit within the perceived norm as well, there is also the messaging that the trials and tribulations of your queer friends, family and compatriots have a lot in common with the dramas of your cishet lives too – so maybe it's time to stop othering anybody for being a little bit (or even a lot) different. (This is ultimately the message behind the switch from straight couples to BL ones in the Ep.6 music video, and also the BL switch in Bad Buddy's Kwan-Riam musical.)

It's not the first time a BL has been sending out messages geared to bolster queer self-esteem and normalization, but it's the first high school one in recent memory that seems to be radiating positivity all around, and hopefully its message will land with the younger set.

(above) Bad Buddy Ep.10 [2/4] 12.20 – Pran's t-shirt wasn't ahead of its time, but its message still applies a year later

Heartstopper may already have done this, and its finished product is perhaps a bit more realistically grounded and polished, but that show was restricted to a smaller, paying and arguably older audience on Netflix.

I cannot begin to emphasize how important it is that My School President and its messages of positive self-worth are beamed free-of-charge to LGBTQ+ teens all over the world, including places where it might not even be safe to be openly LGBTQ+.

My School President may be going all out to entertain (and it does), but beneath the froth and fluff it's still doing something. With the team behind it I wouldn't have expected anything less. And I'm so glad they're at it still. 💖 👍

Killjoys - Sneak Peek EP 5.04 Ship Outta Luck

[gobblepotstew]

Thoughts on tonights episode -> YIKES.

I am unsure who okayed some of this writing but....

The Good

Jim is going through it and it's time he realize what Gotham is about. Pure hell on earth. He takes it out on some civilians and Oswald just to find some semblance of stability.

Lucius had some scenes!! Yes! True screentime for my boy! The moments with him and Edward were the best. They have this reluctance but respectful nature towards one another that I LOVE. But that being said Ed's 5 episode fiasco could have been 3. I don't know why the writer's made it longer.

Alfred and Bruce fighting side by side is the best music *cue DJ Khaled* and seeing them work to get Selina back is adorable.

Selina being the sly cat girl she is has taken no L's. She gets her revenge but it's sudden and unsatisfying. One minute Jerry's singing to his own tune, next minute he's on the floor and I am like... Bro I just blinked. How she get Ecco's clothes anyways? I would have liked to have seen that.

Oswald and Zsasz. Make any show entertaining in the least. The shootout with Penguin's army was great. Also the court scene was fun. I will be honest, must be hard to carry a half season until the Joker comes as far as bad guys go. Zsasz was enchanting as always with his zingers. But this feels like the last we will see of him in the series :(

I liked when Oswald brought his goons to the GCPD and they essentially barked for Zsasz. GOLD.

The Bad

Ummmm...why did Babs parts seem weird? Like she didn't shoot Penguin, and went to Jim in the end? What? She lost Tabs so now she loses her mind? No, Gotham don't do that. Don't muddle her.

Jim all gunhoe about what's right and what's wrong, wants a shootout with Zsasz he's clear to lose, picks on Oswald when this man saw fit to help you (for his own means) and is generally drunk and pissed at the world but sleeps with Babs for comfort. Wow. That's low. Jim and Babs deserve more than that.

The Ugly

Ed is the bomber. But why would he hit the helicopter before you ask? I can surmise he did it to lure Oswald. This was a twist and I ain't mad at it. He's killed countless people in the past in cold blood. So what's a few hundred? He is losing his mind again and there is only so much paper one can throw around before getting the answers. Next week Bane. I hope we get no more new characters after this.

TL:DR

This episode was a lot and not in the way I hoped in some bits. Lots of Oz and Jim interactions which were great. 8 more to go gang. 😩🍺

What do you think of the theory that season five was supposed to end with bh+va but they changed their minds just before writing ep eighteen?

jughead worked too hard to set up the sopranos joke starting six episodes before the swellegrino payoff with his gf's mob dad just to be stuck with the dumbest fandom alive :(

[fireladybuckley]

I keep seeing posts about people not tuning in again because “last episode sucked”… I don’t get it. Is it normal to just stop watching a show because an episode was bad? Literally all TV shows have episodes that aren’t great (some far more than others). If you have an entire season of bad eps then yeah okay I get it but why would you stop watching after one, or even a couple?
