Fit: I get really– I get really nervous in situations like this, Pac. Um–

Pac: Yeah, me too.

Fit: Do you wanna like, bring it in for a hug, maybe? Just like...

Pac: Yeah, no, yeah– I'm down for a hug!

Fit: Yeah, baby steps, baby steps! I'm working on myself, I'm working on myself.

Pac: It's all good, Fit. It's all good. 🫂💕

I know everyone clowned on poor cubito Fit for giving Pac a hug on their date instead of a kiss or something, but I honestly thought this was the sweetest possible ending, and it made me happy :')

I loved how patient and willing q!Fit and q!Pac were to match each other's pace. My age may be showing when I say this, but I really appreciated the slow and steady (or maybe I should say "baby steps") approach Fit and Pac used to depict their cubito's relationship. It felt more realistic, and this specific brand of queer representation really appealed to me. I love them a lot! :') 💕

Pac: It's a nice sunset, right?

Fit: Oh, yeah... [He moves to the edge of the dock and stares at the setting sun in silence for a few moments] It is. Yeah, and like– especially with all the fish around, and...

Pac: Yeahhh, right? In the middle of nowhere... Yeah...

Fit: ...Yeah. Um– I- I get really like– I get really nervous in situations like this, Pac. Um, may- may–

Pac: Yeah, me too.

Fit: Do you wanna like, bring it in for a hug, maybe? Just like...

Pac: Yeah, no, yeah– I'm down for a hug!

[They embrace each other]

Fit: Yeah, baby steps, baby steps!

Pac: Baby steps.

Fit: You know, like I said, I- I- I got like... Uh– I'm working on myself, I'm working on myself.

Pac: No, yeah– it- it's all good, Fit. It's all good.

Fit: Yeah. [Laughs] No, thank you.

Pac: Yeah.

Fit: I- I- But–

Pac: [Pac falls off the dock] AY–

Fit: Oh no! Oh– No–

Pac: Ope– No no, it's all good! It's- it's all part of the... [He struggles trying to climb back on the dock] All part of the exper�� You know? All part–

Fit: Uh, yeah, yeah! Yeah...

Pac: Fit– [Embarrassed laugh] Fit, oh Fit– Can I destroy a little bit of this? I'm sorry, oh my god–

Fit: Yeah, of course! It- it's just– It's a dock, you know, you just blow it up, yeah– We could destroy this all, if you wanted! Anything you want.

Pac: [Pac repairs the dock] Like this– Boom! Nobody saw it. Sorry.

Fit: Oh, nice. No, yeah– [Laughs]

I know everyone clowned on poor cubito Fit for giving Pac a hug on their date instead of kissing him or something, but honestly, I thought this moment was really sweet! I loved how patient they were, and how willing they were to match the other's pace. My age may be showing when I say this, but I really appreciated the slow and steady approach these two had to depicting their cubito's relationship. It felt more realistic, and this specific brand of queer representation really appealed to me personally.

Currently Watching - January

aka The Masterlist

Because I love a good little list - in alphabetical order! 😊

Regularly updated during the month, latest update 31.01.2025

A little link to my favorite bl-tropes-collection 💙

gif-requests are open, but you'll need to have some patience🌼

Here you can find all of my gifs.

At the end you can have a look at what we can expect in January with a MDL link and a link for a trailer (if avaible).

This is guaranteed to contain spoilers!

1. Eternal Butler 🇹🇼 (5/12)

I really don't like this one that much. Why am I still here? The plot is hiding, the acting is playing catch with the writing. Some emotions are shining through and yet this feels very muh bland.

2. Futtara Doshaburi 🇯🇵 (4/7)

My intention was to talk about what a nice social study this show is. How the lack of sex can make you feel this insecure and lost and that the missing communication is not helping. I wanted to talk about how much Nakarai is longing for some physical touch, some love, not just sex and how this situation is slowly eating him up. And then there was the preview and my mind went "oh." Just "oh". See you next week.

3. I'll Turn Back This Time 🇨🇳 (2/6)

Okay, just time travel this time. Cut the step brothers. I enjoyed this episode and Shen Nan building a connection with Gu Shi Wen. I still don't understand the time travel and the changes that been made because of it, but I hope we get a little more information in the future.

4. Ossan's Love Thailand 🇹🇭 (4/12)

What in the Luigi is happening here? This series is really challenging me. The only thing I kinda like is Mix's acting and the soundtrack. The OST is so funny. The show? Not so much. It is really difficult to watch. Just not my humor.

5. Sangmin Dinneaw 🇹🇭 (5/8)

This series is such a rollercoaster. One moment they are sweet and innocent and the other second they are eating each other! And everyone beside the main couple is just pure chaos. I watch it only half, because I can't watch most of the cringe scenes. And now I am kinda curious what Sangmin's secret is.

6. Study Group 🇰🇷 (4/10)

I like the study group. They are all such characters. And I really enjoy the fight-scenes. So the study group is finally complete and now they are fighting evil bastards? I guess. And I am here for it. But I am so sorry Cha WooMin. Ever since Weak Hero Class 1 I can't like you. You hurt me too much! And now you're a villain again? Damn!

7. ThamePo Heart That Skips A Beat 🇹🇭 (8/13)

Oh you mother of all slow burn! This is pure torture for them and for us! And I love every bits of it! So we finally get Jun telling his intentions (I was right, yeah!) and Thame showed again why he is the greenest flags of them all! He is such a fair player and a loyal friend, who wouldn't sacrifice one or the other, but wants Po to make the decision. Only Jun already knew that Po already likes Thame (and like everyone else knows too). I didn't like the fact that Jun told Thame and Po about their mutual crush, but without him, let's be honest, they would still just stare at each other. And yes, I was screaming at my screen "Just kiss already", but this is such a delightful torture of a slow burn! Really delicious! And we got some hand holding. But Thame... your idea putting Po's hand in your pocket and nobody will know is just dumb. But they hold hands! AHHHHH! And next week... AHHHHHH!

8. The Heart Killers 🇹🇭 (10/12)

Joong really delivered in this episode. His single tears were so good. Fadel breaking down and allowing Style to comfort him, to protect him, to love every side of him was indeed beautiful. The series is not good, but this episode was quite good. But Mama being the bad guy here. Who was surprised? Be honest.

9. Word of Honor 🇨🇳 (25/36)

Yes, I kept watching. Well, this will take me a while to finish, I fear.

10. Your Sky 🇹🇭 (11/12)

The question for me this episode was: Why do you think Rak can't have a happy family and someone who cares about him with Fah? Why do you think he needs a woman for that? The father really annoyed me with his I don't want to talk about it attitude. He is just worried? He wouldn't be worried if Fah was a woman. I understand where they were coming from with this plot line, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. What I still love about this series is the communication, especially between the mains. And that Rak didn't sacrifice his relationship in the end, but he stood by his man and so did Fah. I love them!

Finished in January

Series

Miseinen: Mijukuna Oretachi wa Bukiyo ni Shinkochu 🇯🇵

Somewhere along the way I lost interest. I don't like the trope of noble idiocy and that kinda ruins my wish to continue the series. And while it might fit into the narrative, I still don't like it. And so I didn't like the ending. Well, the ending itself was okay and it felt real. Coming out to the friends and family would have not fit the plot. I liked that about the series. Overall a strong start, a mediocre middle and a weaker ending. I give it a 7 out of 10.

See Your Love 🇹🇼

I went into this without any expectations. And damn, I am so happy I could binge this one. I loved it! They are so cute. The height difference is adorable! The story might came a little bit short, but but the characters and their developments and relationships made this series really enjoyable. I love how enthusiastic Yang Zixiang learned sign language. You could see, that this was important for him. The depiction of disability was good and well performed. The side-couple is the only thing that was not for me. I give it a strong 9,5 out of 10.

Fourever You Project 🇹🇭

I just binged this one. I started for Johan and North and I stayed for them. And for the others beside Hill and Ter. I adore Pond. I loved him in 180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us. But this series was not for him. He and Earth have no chemistry together. Perhaps I don't like the typecast of Earth. Most of the times his characters annoy me and he isn't allowed to play an adult. And with Pond there was no spark on my screen. Other with Maxky and Bas. Their characters were goo. The chemistry was good. Their story was good and not that cliche-loaded as HillTer's was. I want to know what is going on with the other two, Tonfah and Arthit. The plot was a college bl. Plain, good ol' college bl. Nothing more nothing less. I admit I skipped most of Hill and Ter's scenes after Johan and North got the lead. I give it a 7 out of 10.

ThamePo; Five

Short Summary • Po keeps questioning himself if Thame likes him, but there's this agitating, grating other person who keeps telling Po that he's making it up in his head. The same Thame who has been getting upset every time Po gets too close to Jun. When Pepper questions him about it, he tells Thame that if he's unsure he should get closer to Po and touch him to see if his heart speeds up. That's how he'll know if he has a crush on Po.

The boys finally convinced Nano to come back with Po's help. We also see that Nano and Pepper are the two who usually keep the peace among the members. Pepper is the one they can talk to about things, and Nano keeps them in line. These are crucial members, seeing as Jun and Dylan are very hot-headed.

Pairing(s) thus far • Thame x Po (William Jakrapatr & Est Supha)

Thoughts • Who exactly is Jun trying to prove that Thame has no interest in Po? Himself? Thame might be a little behind the curve as Pepper said: Po is likely Thame's first crush. Also, is this interest Jun is taking in teasing Thame and Po payback for Thame doing what he thought would help their group? People can make mistakes, my guy. OR!!OR!! is this Jun telling them both just how easily he pegged that they have feelings for each other? If it's the latter I'll feel a little bad. Jun is just rough in how he does everything, lol.
