New bodyguards have been recruited to the Minor Family

Vegas: Hmm… the candidates don't look like… Are you sure you can handle it?

Nop: I've been working with idiots all my life. I've got experience.

Vegas:

Nop: I mean… *cough* I guarantee they will be trained.

Title: Woken up, wild beast

Author: Rakshasha (@raksh-writes)

Rating: Teen and Up

Pairing: Gen

Summary:

“With me.” The order came down whip-quick, as cutting as it was powerful, and Nop scrambled to follow, barely able to catch up to his new charge before the door nearly slammed shut in his face. He’s been with Khun Vegas ever since. Always guarding, always watching, always on the lookout for anything or anyone that could mean Khun Vegas harm — be it their enemies, the major family, Khun Gun or, on the worst days, Khun Vegas himself. So, when one day Khun Vegas wakes up with mad, haunted eyes and a frantic, desperate energy pouring out of him heavy as a flood, Nop knows immediately — intimately — that something is horribly, terribly wrong.

I love how KPTS is canon divergence of the novel. Bless BoC, whoever wrote the plot for the KinnPorsche The Series is doing god's work. And also the wardrobe, and the cinematography, and THE EVERYTHING! Watching KPTS has sent my expectation of Thai BL Series (or BL in general) through the sky.

Amyway, for me who watched KPTS first, the novel is definitely feels like a fanfiction. One where the characters are too OOC for their own good lol. I admit I only read the fan translation, not the official one. So maybe the writing style is only weird for me because it's not a professional one? Who knows.

I only read the VegasPete novel (Like I said before, I was ONE chapter in reading KinnPorsche novel and just… gave up). Tbh I don't even remember half of it. Like, seriously, I don't remember most of the scene from the novel. How'd Pete ran from the safe house? Come to think of it, were there safe house in the novel? There're no VegasPete poolscene in the novel right? Vegas got into car accident instead. How'd it play out? How'd Vegas and Pete conversation go in the coup?

(But I still remember Venice of course. And Nop!)

And then there's chapter where Vegas, Pete, and Venice went to Pete's hometown right? To meet Pete's grandma? (which I also didn't remember how it went)

Then there's also chapter where Pete went on vacation with Main Family without Vegas and Venice? And there's scene where Vegas and Pete went back and forth comment on social media (instagram I think?) Am I hallucinating this? Or they're just fics on Ao3? Man VegasPete is messing with my brain.

I’m sad to report that not only was there no reaction to the torture scene, there was also no mention of our dear Nop the hedgehog…

Before We Start-- KinnPorsche Novel Ending, and things to know

The show diverges at a few key points, and excludes several characters. Here's the basics for show-only fans:

Two characters who appear in the novel that show-only fans may not be aware of: Nop - A former main family bodyguard turned minor family subordinate. In the KinnPorsche novel, he brought the captured Pete food and advised Pete to remain calm. His advice led to Pete treating Vegas with kindness and directly led to their relationship. Dr Top - A Theerapanyakul-owned doctor. Tutored high school-aged Macau, and takes care of both parts of the family when injured or sick. Macau believes Top is his first love. He and Tankhun are fighting for Dr Top’s attention.

Gun is still abusive in the novel, with bonus homophobia because why not. He also has a series of mistresses, which Vegas blames for his mother’s suicide and also uses as an excuse for his own misogyny. Gun’s current mistress, Prim, is pregnant (and about the same age as Vegas).

Porsche’s mom is dead dead. Korn kept her body on ice in his greenhouse because??????? Korn and Gun have conflicting stories about Nampheung’s death, but ostensibly she killed herself because one of the brothers killed her husband and possibly sexually assaulted her. Locked in the greenhouse with Porsche and Kinn, Korn shoots Gun. Vegas, locked on the other side of the door, snaps and runs, ending up in a car crash.

In the hospital, Gun’s mistress gets into an argument with Macau. According to her, Gun intended to disinherit Vegas and Macau in favor of her new baby. Macau pushes her, causing her water to break and Prim to go into labor. Prim disappears from the hospital, leaving the baby behind.

Pete, having chosen to resign as a bodyguard in order to move in with Vegas, enthusiastically decides to adopt the new baby, naming him “Venice”. Vegas is not terribly pleased by this development, but he’s a sucker for Pete so I guess they have a baby now. Kim shows up at the hospital and tells Vegas to sign over the minor family’s holdings back to the major family, since Gun’s dead. Also Macau has clinical depression. Given his family, I’m not surprised.

SPEAKING OF THE MAJOR FAMILY: Kinn is officially the heir to the major family, and Korn gives Porsche the signet ring for the minor family. That done, he pulls Kim aside and hands him control of Korn’s personal secret organization. And so, the Theerapanyakuls continue to set up their sons to kill each other.

Title: tied hands, torn hearts

Author: vegarizz_theerapanyakul

Rating: Explicit

Pairing: Vegas Theerapanyakul/Pete Saengtham, Kinn Theerapanyakul/Porsche Kittisawat, Kim Theerapanyakul/Porchay Kittisawat, Tankhun Theeraoanyakul/Nop

Summary:

"You'll be assigned to Vegas from now on," Kinn says, pushing the reassignment letter towards him. Something in Pete's gut blooms and blossoms, but he is careful to keep his expression neutral. "Why?" He asks, and it's genuine curiosity. Vegas has never noticed him– not like Pete has, anyway– and he knows there's more to this reassignment than meets the eye. Kinn sighs, fidgeting with the major family ring. "He asked for you." — Pete has been in love with Vegas ever since he became a bodyguard for the major family all those years ago. He is resigned to it being one-sided– a fruitless endeavor, a futile affection– till Vegas asks for him. But do their desires match?

Y’all his name is Nop and Vegas is going to train him to call Vegas when Pete needs something.

NOP THE HEDGEHOG!

[placetneplacet]

In which Build coos over Nop the Hedgehog…

[placetneplacet]

Has everyone lit a candle?

The moment is upon us…

[placetneplacet]

The hedgehog is Nop, I’ve claimed it and speak into existence…

Will someone please explain to me what the fuck was going on with the hedgehog??? In Vegas’ room???

[placetneplacet]

Have any other novel readers been playing spot the Nop, this episode?

Tall dude is my current favorite…though Nop, I suspect, may not actually be appearing. I enjoyed him though and I will miss if he’s not around being mildly concerned and feeding into people’s insecurities…

[placetneplacet]

Listen I can’t do meme’s but if I did, I would do Rosa holding the dog and it would say “I’ve only had Nop the hedgehog for a day, but if anything happened to him I would kill all of you and then myself.”

Vegas has a hedgehog. Even if i didn't love him i would forgive him all his sins.

[placetneplacet]

His name is Nop and he’s going to be Pete’s confidant/frenemy when Pete gets moved into the secret room/office/sex dungeon…

at some point, we're gonna have to talk about the hedgehog.
