And we’re back to being spicy! Unlike today’s show which is very vanilla. Today we’re asking the question, is Until We Meet Again worth the hype? Or is it overhyped? What makes it a bad, good, or mediocre show? How close will we get to being kicked out of fandom today? Find out and listen for yourself!

Have an unpopular opinion about a BL? Don't worry, we probably do too. Saying all the things you do or don’t wanna hear Part 5 (of 4) is here to engage with BL media from Japan, Thailand, China, Korea and more. We're talking film-making techniques, narrative analysis, fandom woes, while asking questions like, hey why don't the bottoms move their arms? We may not be experts, but we are loud, chaotic, and full of opinions.

A fic that brought you aboard a new ship

Oh this one is actually tough I don't read a ton of fic for fandoms/stuff I haven't watched but honestly a lot of Strangers from Hell fanfic is so good that I ended up starting the show (also the gifs were COMPELLING)

When I was traveling for work I started reading some of the fic - A Choice is Made: Blank Page by scifigeek14 & Twist the Knife by memequeen1127 both come to mind - b/c they're of decent length and there were a couple that I was like "wow, gotta watch this show and get on board with this ship" lol I think if anyone vibes with Hannibal they'd vibe with Strangers from Hell (also the show has lee dong-wook doing what he does best, having wild gay tension with his costar)

Also this fic for Word of Honor b/c like, I didn't really ship Xie Wang/Ye Baiyi (they have one scene together the whole show lol) but like, I'm also a sucker for a good sugar daddy fic plus it's funny? I always wanted XW to realize he was to pretty to have such a busted daddy but he never listened to The Lesbians in the show which was his own dumb undoing so reading this fic and realizing Ye Baiyi would also make a hilarious old man sugar daddy was a lot of fun I saw The Vision

A fic that ripped your heart out (but it hurt so good)

Oh this is easy, Ever Seaward Echoes More by @kari-kurofai I don't think I've ever been shy about the fact that I find UWMA an overhyped show but this is hands down one of the best fics I've ever read and I've been reading fanfic since the days of ffnet's peak lol the only part of UWMA that I truly enjoyed was In and Korn and this fic just like 1) beautifully written, genuinely and 2) is about them and in a way that's rich, complex, and sincere with emotion the ending got me the first time I read it and it was amazing

All the uwma fans,

If you have read the Resplendent verse, this one is for all of you.

I was trying to find a wallpaper of them and couldnt find one. This is a mix of everything.

Also, @kari-kurofai, thank you for this verse.

For the night crew who might be interested, rumors of the death of Kari Kurofai as a fanfic writer have been greatly exaggerated *finger guns*

@puncromancer replied to your post “There were candle holders at the dollar store and they had zodiac...”

why would you want a double candle stick holder

bc I never know when i’m gonna have to stick it to the man : |

@kari-kurofai replied to your post “real talk tho how does stephen king write so many books like...”

He used to be paid by the word, which is probably a pretty excellent way to be motivated to make a billion books. Also a lot of them are bad. The Langoliers for instance. Or the butt aliens one (Dreamcatcher?)  If you ever want some good giggles I highly reccomend watching Nostalgia Critics reviews of Kings less than stellar films and miniseries.

lmao yeah I’d be motivated to write a lot too in that instance :’D. But TY for the recc, I will have to check that out! Butt aliens...omg...

@kari-kurofai s The Wires That Connect Me to You

has anyone else ever had a fanfic that just... haunts them? like it's been months and maybe even years since you read it, but it just lingers with you and you can never truly leave behind the imprint it made on you? and maybe it's just a single line, one sentence that you can't shake off, that takes up residence in your mind and stays there, feeding into your psyche and subtly influencing your brainspace and maybe even your writing or other works?

[florbexter]

do you have any fic recommendations for like "sexy" 2gether fanfics? ones more based on the tv series, i read some translations of the novel and the sexy parts in the official book were not my cup of tea >

Oh yes, I’m really happy that the author of 2gether already said that the series will be different to the novel because the novel had been written in a time where she had no idea how to write about a queer couple, so whatever they planned with the sex scene in the show it will happen differently (yay) and until then I would recommend the following fics (but please keep in mind that I haven’t read every 2gether fic in the AO3 tag):

The Song That’s Just For Them (Explicit) by Kari_Kurofai

Your Body Is My Instrument (Explicit) by Kari-Kurofai

Bed Shenanigans (Mature) by me (just a very short sexy ficlet)

Snakes and ladders (Explicit) by joatamon

note/s: a request from @kari-kurofai i hope you like it bro NDKSAJNKDN also all you thots out there, freKIN WRITE FOR BOHNDUEN ISTG THEIR TAG IS SO DRY 😤😤😤

------------------------------------------------------

“You never hesitate to hit me,” Bohn said sadly, “But it’s alright, as long as I’m the only one you hit on.” He looked at Duen with a smirk, watching at the man caught on to his word play. He laughed and led Duen to the passenger seat, opening the door for him. His boyfriend just glared at him before entering the car.

Just sitting here, thinking about how underrated the Tiger X Fire ship is, and wishing there were more Tiger X Fire shippers in the fandom. I'm lonely and disappointed.

Back in the day when it was like 10 of us, it sucked monkey butt. I remember devouring all the fic on ff.net and then being disappointed when I couldn’t find anymore.

Hell, I wrote several fic that simply don’t exist anymore! They were awful plot wise and held no structure whatsoever, but they existed.

The original one and the same is still up, though I can’t really bare to read it these days. The first chapter rewrite isn’t as bad, but still not good.

Kari kurofai was the absolute saint for TigerFire content. Read all their shit. God I miss middle school.

kari-kurofai reblogged your post:crewdlydrawn: the-darkempress: ...

Yes! For a while I thought I’d hallucinated it... I’d love to hear how it didn’t up red flags with the publisher, lol
