Don't you dare compare yourself with him. He's a righteous man. He's selfless and always puts me first.

Day 51 - 15 Days BL Challenge (part 4)

Day 51 - Top 3 BLs that you'd never want to explain to your parents

I'd like to send a letter of complaint to whoever decided that this prompt was a top 3 (past me) because I'm really struggling with narrowing it down

Pit Babe

I already used ABO in my description for this prompt so why not keep it going with this show, because as much as the creators of the show wanted us to believe it wasn't ABO, this is drenched in omegaverse.

This show had such a crazy plot line and I do not want to explain the dynamics of this universe to my parents or really anyone outside of the fandom space. The show itself however committed to the bit and that made it easy to buy into the world of Pit Babe, the plot and the characters, which makes this a really good watch.

Utsukushii Kare (My Beautiful Man)

I find this show hard to explain and also if I do manage to explain the plot to someone, it's probably also going to sound weird to an outsider, so I'd rather not.

It is however one of my favourite Japanese shows and I'd highly recommend it to anyone within the fandom. It's not a dynamic for everyone but Japan does it soooo well in this show.

I'd highly recommend watching at least the full season 1 because a lot of context is given at the end of season 1, so don't give in to any knee-jerk un-comfortableness. Also the final confession is sooooooooo good!

You can find season 1 and 2 fansubbed here or on Viki. The full series with both seasons and a final movie definitely has my stamp of approval!

Look I made more GIFs! Based on the subbed version by lollipopsub linked above.

Don't Say No

No denying that Mame likes to write about trauma and sexual assault and she usually leans into D/s dynamics. Don't Say No is no exception to this which makes it a hard one to explain to outsiders without getting into that.

Love In the Air is my favourite MeMindY show (which could also fit on this list) but Don't Say No is not far behind.

Most of the plot points during this show are wild, like two occasions of blackmail, an abusive mother and a lot trauma, but I really like the basis for this show: childhood best friends who get together after a long struggle, but then they have to figure out how to be boyfriends with all their baggage and assumptions, both of their own but also of the people around them.

It's a battle between what they want, what they think the other person wants and what they think they should want.

Part of that is them finding their roles in the D/s relationship they both want but are struggling to communicate which I find super interesting to watch.

Also I freaking love a Uke that's more sexually experienced than the Seme. No Blushing Maiden Ukes in this show!!

Honerable mentions

If you were wondering how I'd get around the 3 show limit I set for myself, this is it! Neither are full BL shows so I think I'm good

Innocent

This is Taiwanese mini-series about a relationship between a man who's main personality is 5 years old and the man who saved him from an assault.

The show revolves around how his two personalities interact with his partner and how they find themselves in a loving secure relationship

As with most shows out of Taiwan this topic is treated seriously and not used as comedic relief. Even if this is a realistic relationship and the series doesn't revolve around an outlandish plot, I'd still think twice before trying to explain this show to just any stranger.

Sweet Curse

Finally Sweet Curse is a Strongberry short that I have such a soft spot for. It's a horror comedy romance with high heat and a wild plot.

Let's just say: A friend of Ha Jun is jealous of him and decides to summon a demon(?) to haunt Ha Jun, but something is a little wrong (or right?) with Ha Jun so he isn't scared so easily.

The short is 30 min and it's on Gagaoolala (though not all locations but a VPN can fix that easily)

The original challenge is here, part two here, part three here, and four here.

I finally watched My Beautiful Man - Eternal and OMG ITS SUCH A GREAT MOVIE 😭😭😭 What a perfect ending to this series. Sounds fake but I legit laughed and cried and screamed, the movie was soooo good and I love Hira and Kiyoi sooooo much 🥹🥹🥹 I think I believe in romantic love again…. Am I being dramatic? 😅 yes, but that’s how I feel. Def one of my fav couples and I think…. My fav Japanese BL ever and just one of my favs overall. Anyway…. If you have not watched this movie, you should! And def watch the first 2 seasons before because it provides so much wonderful context and history about these characters and their story. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Ayy part two of my favorite utsukushii kare: eternal moments cause I remembered more!

Again, SPOILERS!!! This movie came out like two days ago and I know most people haven’t seen it so proceed at your own risk!

Tho, as I acknowledged last time, nobody sees my posts anyways, but still 😅.

Okay favorite scenes part 2 let’s go:

5. Kiyoi and Hira scheming with Noguchi to get Anna and her boyfriend back together. What can I say, I had no idea who the guy was, but Anna deserves everything she wants and the reunion was super sweet, so I was happy.

6. Kiyoi giving Hira a back hug as he does the dishes and they chat 😭. Domestic fluff! I wanted more of it! But I’m happy with what we got.

7. The combined present day/past/dream sequence/montage thing of them running through the school and reliving some stuff we saw in the first season while making new memories. This may have been entirely for nostalgia’s sake, but I feel like it was a really beautiful way of ending to remind us of the beginning, and the scene itself was very pretty. Plus it was one of the few scenes with Kiyoi and Hira full on grinning- we got completely genuine smiles of pure happiness from both of them and it brought me so much joy 🥺.

8. Lastly, Hira finally getting to photograph Kiyoi in a professional context! The hesitation from Hira when Noguchi hands him the camera that fades to single minded drive as soon as Kiyoi tells him to take the pictures was so intense. And it was just amazing to see them basically achieve the goal Hira set in the second season. Also! This scene was so well shot, I feel like it perfectly captured their relationship, and the way they interact and convey emotions through Hira’s camera. It honestly felt more intimate than any of the actually steamy scenes, I seriously felt like I was intruding on something private and almost covered my eyes while watching lol.

bestie where did you watch the my beautiful man movie from 😭😭

Anon, why you gotta be secretive about it? Why not reveal yourself?! Is it because you are a narc? You have to admit if you are one, right?

Because if you are a narc, I'm a good Christian sibling, and I don't pirate media.

BUT . . . if I did, I would watch it on Kisskh dot co (<- notice it is co not com), BUT the subs might be AI-generated, so at times, the dialogue could be funky bunches of oats, but it could have a human subber now. Also, having an ad-blocker helps with the pop-up windows, IF I were to pirate media. And finally, if I were to watch it there, I would go to the "search" feature on the top right corner, type in "My Beautiful Man" and look through the options to find the movie.

It's also up on Dailymotion.

But I don't pirate media so . . .

Eternal awaits

In preparation for watching My Beautiful Man: Eternal which is finally available in subtitled English—thanks, Gagaoolala—I'm rewatching the series to refresh my memory.

Somehow I had forgotten this scene which seriously got to me this time and made the whole "Hira is Kiyoi's slave but he takes charge in bed" thing make total sense. Someone did that to me at that age…'nuff said.

Also, if you've heard the series is a little challenging, here's a great breakdown comparing it with Semantic Error (which is delightful…but not challenging).

Here's a link to the movie if you haven't already seen it.
