#i also don't want bullshit TT drama in my asks

[biancadoes1]

Any update on the beautifulstranger996 drama from TT?

Threats of lawsuits were everywhere for a couple days and now silence

A lawsuit written in crayon.

Anyone threatening to sue over a weird ass on the internet saying dumb shit needs a reality check.

However I do find it interesting that only one creator is VERY up in arms about this.........

So I had a thought about Love in the Air. I saw a comment stating that it doesn't really seem to have a driving plot so far, and I don't disagree. Based on the first four episodes there's no driving plot for the series, it's kind of just a small snapshot of these characters falling in love. But scrolling TT the other day I caught a video discussing how booktok discusses books, and the jargon used there, that's fairly specific to that group. You'll see similarities with fanfiction communities, we're all still reading, but there's a recognized language that directly associates with fanfiction, but generally not other written work. But circling back to my point, one of her points made was that when discussing books with other readers you might describe a book as character driven or plot driven. I think Love in the Air falls into the character driven category.

There's no overarching plot/conflict, it's the characters driving the story, and even four episodes in we've seen growth with Rain. For all his teasing Payu knows that Rain isn't dumb, just immature. He wouldn't have gotten into the faculty he's in without a good deal of talent, intelligence, and hard work. And when Rain messes up, Payu comforts but doesn't coddle him. He lets him know that he knows he's capable and he expects him to put in the effort. He also quietly encourages him, after seeing that confidence is something Rain struggles with. I'm hopeful that we'll see more growth as the season goes on.

I can't speak to Sky's romance yet, as that apparently doesn't gear up for a few more episodes, but I do think if they kind of continue in this vein of these characters that are different, but still well-matched growing together (which is what's needed for a long-term relationship, you either grow together or grow apart) then I'll feel the show is success.

I love a deep, meaningful show, but I also love a fluffier show. All media has value, and one of the things I enjoy about many BL dramas is that they give representation without a regular focus on the trauma that the community deals with. There's certainly some work to be done on making the entertainment industry and companies producing BL dramas into a healthier place, particularly for the stars, and I do wish more of the actors were openly out (if they are part of the queer community) but I know there's safety concerns there. Anyways...I'm interested in your thoughts around this, though we'll certainly need the whole season before we can reach true conclusions.

@lutawolf I couldn't get it out of my head. :D And I needed something good after the absolute clusterfuck this weekend with book two 'spoilers' and author bullshit. I swear I hope BOC knows better than to let any of that shit happen in season 2.

Okay...so I've seen some discourse around the interwebs of people angry at Rain for giving Prapai the keys to Sky's apartment and asking him to take care of him, including saying the Rain is a terrible friend for crossing Sky's boundaries like this. And I feel like people are being a little harsh. Rain can occasionally be a bit of a dummy, yes, but he is a kind and protective person. I feel like there's this assumption that the only contact or interaction that Rain and Prapai have ever had is what we've seen onscreen, and really that's unlikely. If Prapai and Payu are best friends, Rain would have a lot more interaction than what we've seen. Rain also knows that Payu trusts Prapai. Rain is basing his trust partially on Payu's opinion and friendship with Prapai. He also knows that Prapai likes Sky, the same way that Payu likes Rain, so for him he can't see Prapai treating or caring for Sky any different from what he has experienced in the care of Payu. Even with the trust he's placing in Prapai he clearly impresses on him "I'm trusting you with my best friend, do not break that trust", before giving him the keys.

I'm not going to argue that he's not crossing boundaries, but those boundaries are an assumption made by the audience. Sky has never even hinted to Rain about his past trauma, the fact the Rain didn't even know his ex was a man shows that. Sky being closed off even from Rain is the reason he doesn't know. Sky being even moderately open, just giving Rain the most base level, and saying "I'm not in a place to deal with Prapai ever" would likely have been all it took. Rain would have figured something else out.

But I don't think Rain is a bad friend, he's just naive, and he's also not given a lot of opportunity to show what type of friend he is because of their dynamic, Sky being more mature and Rain being a little more wild/immature.

My #1 post of 2022

I'm rewatching Love in the Air, because of course I am, and we all know that so far Sky is the underrated king of this show. His reactions are gif gold.

I'm on episode two and Sky crossing himself in a prayer for Rain as he drags Payu off is just the cutest, sweetest, and funniest thing. He's just like "I'm praying for you buddy, I really think you might have bitten of more than you can handle with that one, but god speed my friend."

Just look at this precious bean. I'm loving Payu/Rain, but I'm excited to see Prapai and Sky get more screen time.

Oh my god that longest tag...that post is, well I can't say not fit for the internet, I've been here a long time, and it's no where near what you can encounter in the wilds of the interwebs, but it's probably one of the most *embarrassed face* things I've ever posted. Also, hilarious that I have 100% more posts than last year. I didn't post at all, because I sort of fell of the tumblr train for a while.

Anyway, I am at least proud of all of these posts, and I also adore all of the blogs in my top reblogs.
