AM I SEEING THIS RIGHT??????????????

WHAT IS LOVE/SARANGI MWOGILLAE ON MBC'S OFFICIAL DRAMA CHANNEL???

AM I WINNING?

AM I WINNING?

YES I AM!

YES I AM! MOTHERFCKERRSSSSSSSSSSSSS LETS GOOO

Can't wait to wait every week for an upload and watch it like in the olden daysssssss

WOOOOOOOOOOOO LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

I had watched What Is Love on a movie YT channel, unsubbed and commented, in 5 parts to 1 hour. I had watched that while staying up the night and I really really enjoyed it.

The channel has now reuploaded it in one full video of almost 6 hours... sadly all the parts and all the comments under it are gone TT. But you can at least watch it now.

It's eye-opening and funny, touching and very emotionally involving all at the same time. Just too damn addictive. It is such a simple and realistic setting you get to believe every damn thing about the characters and just forget the actors are acting. Too damn real for it to be a drama, but there's the 90s for you

Y'all. Y'ALL. I got anonymous hate on one of my fics for the first time since 2016. *sniffs* I feel so special!

Dear anonymous wanker:

Half the shit you said didn't even pertain to the fic, and the other half showcased your tragicomic inability to differentiate between the opinion of a story's author and the opinion of a fictional character within the story. *insert Shame Bell here*

tl;dr - Go spank your Twelve Monkeys to Shaw someplace else. There are plenty of amazing Shaw x Seven fics out there. I know because I've read them. I was also trolling an anti in your tags like three days ago on general principle while looking for fics, so once again - please learn to differentiate between the opinion of a writer (real person) and the POV of a fictional character (not a real person, whose feelings and perspectives we can only speculate about, especially regarding a dynamic that's clearly quite complex).

In conclusion, yo mama's so fat, Kirk broke the temporal prime directive by doing a slingshot maneuver around her ass. Also in conclusion - go touch grass. I may or may not be referring to cannabis. No stolen pots were harmed in the making of this post. This has been a message from the emergency GTFO system. *beeeeeep*

What are the ships pictured in that ot3 post? I've been really looking to find more pairings of exactly your vibe

--

Hah! I was wondering if people were trying to figure them all out. Some are considerably more famous than others.

These are Haven and White Collar. I didn't watch either to the end and have no regrets about that, just saying. There's plenty of good fic though.

This is the venerable Highlander, baby's first OT3 for many a 90s slash fan.

The Book of Life and Singin' in the Rain.

This is the extremely underrated Man from U.N.C.L.E. film. It came out at the same time as Straight Outta Compton, alas.

Some oldschool show fans whined that it was nothing like the show, but they are wrongity wrong wrong and have forgotten season 1, particularly Marion Raven and Gervaise Ravel, upon whom the love interest and the villainess are based. (And yes, I absolutely ship show Illya/Napoleon/Marion.)

There was a nice little fic fandom for a year or two, but it withered in the absence of any sequels. The show is more of a m/m juggernaut with the very occasional foray into the main dudes having a one-off threesome with some lady. Show Illya is pretty iconic and very different from movie Illya though, so I understand that disappointment.

Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty and Mysterious Lotus Casebook. These are historical mystery and wuxia mystery respectively. The former has a more satisfying series end than the latter, but I liked both endings all right. (Look, with c-dramas, that's always my first question: Did everyone die and/or everything get left hanging in a way that will make me throw things?)

The Two Faces of January might as well be called Daddy Issues: The Movie and has allll kinds of badwrong vibes. It's not a happy story. I'm not sure Patricia Highsmith knew what happiness even looked like. But boy is it delicious! The scenery is gorgeous too.

And that last one is Les Spécialistes, a film I only discovered from a fan bitching about how it was the OT3iest thing ever but nobody remembered that it existed. It's a silly French heist movie from the 80s with some identity porn and twists.

Other people added Leverage, most notorious of OT3 fandoms, three of the side dudes from The Untamed, Arthurian legend, and Girl Genius.

what we know: The Acolyte was pitched sometime in early 2020. The Rise of Skywalker had just ended the movie saga. The Mandalorian, which kicked off disney+, had just finished its first season with great audience response. Lucasfilm was reorienting itself to streaming. Rayne Roberts loved the pitch, got Kathleen Kennedy who also loved it, and the show was greenlit.

the show premiered in summer 2024, after a generous marketing campaign (including a clip shown with The Phantom Menace rerelease, an original Victoria Monét song, and plenty of trailers and tv spots). multiple pieces of tie-in media were announced both before and during the show's airing (an Acolyte comic issue, a Kelnacca comic issue, a visual guide, an art reference book, two novels featurig show characters).

the high republic multimedia project (THR), in advanced development when the show was pitched and published continuously from early 2021, greatly influenced the show's development. the costuming is largely based on the look of THR, the show makes plenty of lore references, and includes a main character from the books in its main cast. THR material coming out in summer 2024 has "a century before The Acolyte" prominently on the cover, the upcoming show tie-ins are largely written by THR authors, and often feature other THR characters.

the show was expensive, with a long production period and a great focus on the technical aspects - building large elaborate sets, filming on location in Madeira, detailed stunt sequences with a lot of actor involvement, plenty of attention given to costumes, make-up and creature design. the cast included many high-profile actors. everything suggests the show had full confidence of lucasfilm.

what i'm gonna speculate: lucasfilm was playing the long game with this show, or hoping to. cancelling the show this early was unexpected.

in 2019 star wars was quite literally centered on the original trilogy. the seven decades or so around the OT contained all currently canon star wars media, even as the franchise was spoken of as one with 25,000 years of history. the following years would plug up even more empty spots on the timeline, with the projects often overlapping. this gave the writers much less creative freedom, which was the whole point of decanonizing all pre-2014 media aside from films and shows. over time, fans started clamoring for onscreen content set outside of the known eras, and there were more and more voices in and outside of the fandom exhausted with fanservice (the glup shitto phenomenon).

The Acolyte was set in a whole new era, as far as onscreen content goes, and its only legacy character was from children's and YA books most viewers wouldn't be familiar with. it was specifically introduced as a show you wouldn't need any homework for. it had actors prominent in entirely different contexts (Matrix. sitcom. Squid Game. YA. superhero movies. independent films. relationship dramas.) and the cast was pretty international.

the show had a lot specifically for established fans - you could say it was the most wide-reaching in its star wars references, incorporating elements from every trilogy, the animated shows, canon books, oldschool legends lore, video games. but i believe it was mostly meant to attract people who were not previously fans, and especially target demographics that were underrepresented in the fandom. draw in international audiences, young people who were around for other star wars properties but they never caught their interest, women who either weren't in the fandom or felt pushed away by the reaction to The Last Jedi.

lucasfilm execs definitely weren't planning for viewing numbers comparable to Obi-Wan Kenobi, or even Ahsoka, since those are characters people are already invested in. i think lucasfilm expected the show's audience to grow over a longer period, since plenty of people might check it out because it seems cool and they like an actor in it, and hopefully stick around to watch other star wars and become new fans of the franchise. the audience would get a chance to establish itself through new viewers watching it outside the couple weeks when it aired originally - it's a streaming platform, after all - and the show would have a solid fandom for its second season (which they were clearly planning to make).

these new fans would keep disney+ in order to check out other star wars shows and film, and keep buying star wars stuff over the hiatus. even if they were only into The Acolyte and their interest never expanded beyond that, there were many merchandising products and tie-in materials coming out. the comics and books would have connections to THR, hopefully getting an influx of readers before the initiative finishes next year and boosting sales of already published works. the THR readers who weren't interested in the show originally would see all their favorite authors writing stuff for it and check it out, too.

but then someone higher up decided to cancel it a month after airing so no i guess

(하희라씨 차인표씨 잠시만 눈 감으세요 ㅋㅋㅋ)

Ha Hee-ra and Cha In-pyo - close your eyes for a moment!

What is this? For real? Nah, it's a fake wedding shoot made for a special drama! Calm down, y'all.

어? 이게 ... 실화임? 아니예요, 특집드라마때문에 만드는거예요! 여러분 숨 좀 쉬어보자 ㅋㅋㅋ

In this picture are Choi Soo Jong and Shin Ae Ra, who acted as newlyweds opposite each other in the KBS special drama "Forever Newlyweds"

이 사진에서 신혼부부로 나오는 최수종씨하고 신애라씨는 1992년에 KBS에서 만드는 특집드라마 '언제나 신혼"에서 출연했어요.

Both of them had met in the 1987- 1990 youth drama "Love Bloming On A Tree" as each other's love interest.

둘이 이전에 1989년 "사랑이 꽃피는 나무"에서도 서로 상대역으로 데뷔했는데, 여기도 또 마주치게 되네요.

I found this one in my youtube reccomendations by chance and I GASPED. Choi Soo Jong AND Shin Ae Ra? Gotta watch that, I don't wann a miss out on the talented actors these two are.

제 유튜브 추천에서 우연히 봤는데, 꼭 밤에 공부가 끝나고 봐야겠다��� 생각을 했어요. 이 두분 중에 한사람도 유튜브에서 나오면 꼭 봐야겠어서 그래요 ㅋㅋㅋ

And as I expected, it was a really fun movie-ish drama. If I showed this video to someone who didn't know them, and told them that these two are a real life couple, they would believe me a 100%. That's how good they looked together.

역시 예상대로 외모는 외모지만 확실한 연기파 배우들이죠 - 아무 말없이 모르는 친구한테 보여주면 이 두 분은 실제 부부라고, 실제 직장인이고 새신부라고 하면 딱 의심없이 믿을 듯 ㅋㅋㅋ

If by any chance... in a parallel universe... they would have actually became a real life couple? IRL?

아니 이렇게 잘 어울리다가...만약에... 그 어떤 평행 우주에서... 이 둘이 부부가 될 수 있게나... 그렇겠지?

Nah, forget that. We live in the current world - Choi Soo Jong was already dating his girl, Her Highness Ha Hee Ra (lmao) and if we are to believe the rumours of that time, Shin Ae Ra also had a singer boyfriend at that time.

아 그만, 우린 지금 이 우주에 살고 있잖아요! 92년에 최수종씨는 하희라씨하고 벌써 사귀고 있었고, 그때 돌고다니는 소문은 맞는 말이었으면 (틀린 것은 바라지만) 신애라씨도 남자친구 있었던 상태였어요.

Back to the drama... I really was so emotionally involved. Ae Ra and Soo Jong looked their part perfectly and made it all feel so real with a sspecial shoutout to Ae Ra for being so realistic. I was angry when she was, cried with her, felt like hugging her while she waited for her husband to come from the company , felt like shouting when she did... And Soo Jong really sold the weirdo but cute husband. The script was pretty funny too - I can imagine there were a lot of NGs. All in all, this is really cute and fun , and eventhough the ending is very 90s, it still is kinda cute. Shin Ae Ra should be your number 1 reason to watch this.

다시 드라마에 대해서 얘기하자... 특히 신애라씨의 연기실력이 빛났다고 생각해요. 최수종씨는 벌써 그런 역할을 잘 한다고 알면서 그래요. 울 때 저도 울고, 웃을 때 나도 웃고, 외롭고 술의 취한 남편은 기다리면서 실망을 느꼈을 때 저는 꼭 안고 싶다는 느낌이 들었고... 그 극본도 대사도 자연스럽게 잘 썼다고 그렇지만 두 배우들은 그 케릭터들은 그냥 살렸던 게 아니라, 진짜 살리게 했다고 생각해요 ❤️

the thing about trying to convey what the fuck is up with outlander is that most attempts to explain all the ways it's Not Good Actually just sound like advertisements for how batshit it is. and it IS batshit, and horny, and self-indulgent fanfiction for weird little girls with the misfortune to grow up into straight women, and all of the above. but it is also, i cannot stress this enough, absolute fucking schlock

anyway, to offset the sin of having tempted any of you to sit through any more of it than the whipping scene and then the gratuitous torture porn in the last episode or two of season 1, let me just sit here and recommend with my entire chest that you read diana gabaldon's fanlore article, at least if you ever want a hearty oldschool-blog-drama laugh at someone who COULD at any moment have chosen to stop parading her ass in front of the entire internet but just couldn't help herself. i will never unhear the squeaking of clown shoes attached to her name, and if you're considering doing this to yourself, you should at least do it while giggling at exactly what serial numbers she filed off her self-insert fic before hopping on the internet 20 years later to get BIG MAD at people daring to write SEX SCENES about HER CHARACTERS.

This is a whole ramble but there is a theme in there (for fun and giggles)

I sometimes have to think about the whole "petplay" / master-servant game Gun has going on with some of the GMM guys (Tay and Joss, officially but he probably has some of the others joined too). It's just so damn wild and funny. And everyone is pretending like that's just the most normal thing besties do. I mean sure why not but also 😏 Just them taking turns in being the others obedient cute pet-servant for one day, while he calling him "his pet" and treats him like a pet (and that outside of cameras and fanservice stuff, they do that in their private time mainly. just dragging it out in the open occasionally). I love that for them 👌

OG Fun Night S1Ep3

-

-

... hmmm 😏

yea that's more likely

-

THE WHOLE ENTIRETY OF FUN NIGHT S2EP7 is just damn wild where they compete to be Guns number 1 pet, winning a freaking collar of all things! While talking about the drama "3 Will Be Free" (which is literally a canon polyamory drama with Tay, Joss and Mild)

-

-

also that TayGun date special

But Off is always like "You guys have fun but leave me out of that nonsense" 🙅‍♂️ whenever Gun asks him to join the pet poly circle....

BUT isn't he basically Guns first "pet" before Tay even?! Guns nickname for him is literally Papii... which I first thought means "dad" (or daddy if you will 😏) but someone once educated me that it means "puppy". Because of their first drama together "Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey".

So what I am trying to say here is: Off you lost that fight already years ago!! You have been Guns doggo all along!! lol

(but that's fine, he just doesn't want to mingle with the others 😌)

It's tragic, there once was a compilation of all the Tay and Gun pet moments (+ trust falls) with parts of an interview where Tay explains his side. And the MC was shook like "And you just let him treat you like a pet??" and Tay all shy and giggly "Yea, it's just a thing between us. I don't even know why. I went with it" 🤷‍♂️ And that he thinks that Gun is the most powerful guy in whole GMM. (A+ video.. why did they take that from us)

Yall don't understand how neat the whole OffGunTay(New) and Gun swinger / poly dynamic is. Alone for the fact that they don't care for the strict exclusive ship rule where they can only be touchy with their on-screen partner. But Gun is touchy and playful with every GMM guy and that's fine and neat af (even tho they all mainly stay in their official ship constellation as well). Meanwhile there are still so many couple themed ship war fanvideos from fans out there about which couple would be most likely real and which one will sink: OffGun or TayGun 🙄 Like bruh, everyone is Guns pet or cuddle buddy, what are yall not getting? OffGunTay(New + others) love and cherish each other (in whatever way that is does not matter). And Tay AND Off and even New encouraging Gun getting cuddly and kissed by other guys. Off and Tay are literally that "You are doing great sweety" meme when Gun has fun with others. Off being jealous is literally just a playful running gag.

I swear most BL fans are way too innocent and stuck with the oldschool relationship style for this awesome GMM (friend)ship dynamic they are playing with here...

Like look at this pile of TayGunNew while Off takes a photo

I don't know why this post turned from the petgame thing to OffGunTay & GMM polycule but it's basically the same ven diagram. Just everyone gets kisses, flirts and cuddles. As they should.

But it does not have to be the one ship over the other. Each of them literally has two hands 😌

holding hand throuple style 😌

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Anyways.... A poly drama with them when?? Didn't P'Jojo say he wants to do a drama with Gun but doesn't know what theme? (P'Jojo who did "3 Will Be Free" with Joss and Tay already). Here! This? ✨

EDIT: I had to ad this

“I feel like we released a party-in-a-box album” (Nakata)

He makes music for Perfume and MEG, created the soundtrack of the TV drama “Liar Game,” and wrapped up an album with Sakai Kate as part of the unit COLTEMONIKHA. The number one producer on the cutting edge of now is unmistakably Nakata Yasutaka, and his main project capsule released their eighth album “Sugarless GiRL,” followed it with a remix best-of compilation called “capsule rmx,” and are already set to release their third album in a single year.

“Up until now, I’d been sort of following the oldschool pop format to a certain extent. I think my songs until the ‘Sugarless GiRL’ album were easy to listen to, but I don’t feel like they need to be that way anymore because capsule isn’t the type of unit that would appear in music programs on TV. I’ll leave the karaoke-friendly songs to idols and pursue creating something with capsule that can only be done in the kind of environment we exist in. Our remix album that came out in October falls in line with this: it’s a collection of tracks that we use often, so there is the implication that it’s a best-of album, but I wanted to refresh the sound instead of just re-releasing the songs as they were. It takes the ‘party’ feeling and packages it up all neatly, like a party-in-a-box. But I do fundamentally want people to listen to our newest album first and foremost.” (Nakata)

“We’re having fun creating things that we think are interesting.” (Koshijima)

That new album is “FLASH BACK,” their ninth overall and first original release in ten months. It breaks from their previous works in that it isn’t like the soundtrack to a film that doesn’t exist; “FLASH BACK” instantly conjures up images and memories from the past in the way that a movie inserts a literal flashback sequence. It doesn’t use a story or specific pretense to do this — instead, particles of sound flood out from the listening device (whether that be speakers or headphones) and form intense, hard-hitting electro music, bit by bit.

“I thought it was interesting to have several moments in time playing simultaneously, like I’d cut out scenes from a movie. There isn’t a pattern to how it changes; the entire album is constantly shifting. I thought it’d be good to have a strong contrast like that. My mental image of it is a sort of inner dive. I made it with a clear contrast in sound so that the listener can really delve into it, and I think if you sync up with the music, you can get into the album quite easily. However, I did think it would be kind of tacky if the album was too trendy-sounding. It’s perfectly situated in that space where you can’t decide if it’s cool or not.” (Nakata)

“During recording, we’d get all excited like ‘this is SO lame!’ (laughs). But we’re really into just making whatever we feel is interesting to us right now, so we hope everyone will enjoy listening to it.” (Koshijima)
