Gun is now at Tinn’s mercy, so he attempts to do whatever he can to persuade his rival not to cancel the music club. Little does he know, Tinn actually has a secret crush on him. Could romance brew as Gun makes a desperate attempt to secure the future of his band?

But that all changes when he accidentally touches their office’s most perfect guy Karan, who he learns has romantic feelings for him.

No easy international streaming available to my knowledge, watch on KissKH. I also recommend watching original japanese show first, it’s listed in the japanese section.

Day hires Mhok who—unlike other applicants—seems to take no pity on him. With so much time spent in each others' company, the two develop a deep bond.

YouTube i recommend to stop watching on episode 12 clip 3/4 timestamp 28:04, because after that moment the story goes for the “curing disability” trope and gets ruined, but it will not be ruined for you if you stop.

12. Be My Favorite time travel

✨2023: A Summary✨

Post your most popular and/or favourite edit/gifset/analysis for each month (it’s okay to skip months!)

Tagged by @lurkingshan (here) and @wen-kexing-apologist (here). Thanks for the tags!

In 2023, I made 175 original posts, including 45 metas about 12 different shows and two large scale projects (the GMMTV Multiverse and the GMMTV Kissing charts). It was interesting to see what meta (and how much) I had written in which months. It's also fun looking back as I approach my one year anniversary of watching and writing about BL - I'm so grateful for all the wonderful people I've met and gotten to chat with over these past months!

January and February [0 metas]

I wasn’t on BL Tumblr yet! Any and all meta came in the form of thoughts, texts, and powerpoint presentations.

March [6 metas]

My BL Tumblr debut! I started this blog with the intention of 1) more easily gathering and archiving posts for future reference, and 2) collecting my thoughts somewhere other than text threads and my notes app, so I began posting meta the day I got here.

Most popular: what started as me thinking about Win’s rock t-shirt from ep 11 and then grew from there… - reading a lot into a random Thai ql shirt choice? Me?

Favourite(s): Thoughts on Tinn, his mother, and coming out (part 1, part 2); Thoughts on Tinn, his mother, and music - My first meta ever posted! I keep returning to Tinn and his mother's relationship in My School President...

April [1 meta]

By default, the most popular (and favourite): Gun's feelings are realistic - I love when MSP subverts our expectations

May [13 metas]

Oh damn! This was a big meta month for me. Some of my favourite metas I've ever written were posted this month.

Most popular: The Eighth Sense and Missing Pieces - I am really proud of this one. It also made me laugh that I apologized for the length at the beginning when I would go on to post much, MUCH longer metas.

Favourite(s): Thoughts on genre, tropes, Bad Buddy, and My School President (aka my Bad Buddy and MSP thesis, which began life as a powerpoint presentation... now here's one of those much, MUCH longer metas in question); Wai as a faen fatale (which also began life as part of that same powerpoint presentation and I think perfectly encapsulates my analytical style); Conversations in ITSAY that are about more than they seem (I am really proud of the analysis I did here and the writing style I used to present it). This was also the month in which I started my deeply self-indulgent GMMTV Multiverse project, which later inspired my mission to record all GMMTV kisses.

June [11 metas]

Oh nooo another bunch of my favourites. This is cruel to make me choose.

Most popular: Thinking about Pran's "Pat, you've got to stop doing this to me" (I love this one! and this was the first of several times I've gotten to collaborate with the wonderful @dudeyuri)

Favourite(s): An analysis of the baseball mom shirt, Bad Buddy ep. 5 (my entry into the venerable field of Bad Buddy/ql shirt analysis and also encapsulates pretty much everything I try to do in my metas); An impassioned defense of the Bad Buddy ep. 5 rooftop kiss (combines many of my favourite things: reading deeply into the minute details of Bad Buddy, an analytical framework that just clicks itself together as I write, and literature reviews); and Thinking about Snow White as the engineering play, part 1 (shout out to the two other people going ham on Snow White as an allegory during the Our Skyy 2 madness - @chickenstrangers (here) and @letgomaggie (here))

July [3 metas]

Most popular (and favourite): Thinking about Pat, Pran, and pursuit (I think this was my first time articulating the idea of Pat and Pran's commitment to the bit, a concept which continues to circle in my head. This was also another collaboration with the wonderful @dudeyuri!)

August [7 metas]

Here comes Only Friends... and the GMMTV Kissing Multiverse project.

Most popular: GMMTV Kissing Multiverse updates 1, 2 and 3 (this is so much fun to track and analyze, and I've been really touched by everyone else's excitement for the project too); Various thoughts and musings on Only Friends and ephemerality (the Ephemerality Squad assembles!)

Favourite: Thinking about Boston: a study of episode 3 - I find Boston's mind a fascinating place to explore

September [8 metas]

Oh look! It's more Only Friends!

Most popular: Mansplain, Manipulate, Manwhore: Ray confronting Boston - once again, I love getting into Boston's head. This post was inspired by @wen-kexing-apologist's scene breakdowns, especially their Fight Night one

Favourite(s): The above, and also The Mundanity of Meanness

October [5 metas]

Most popular (and favourite): The first fist bump in Bad Buddy - oof. I've gotta come back to this idea sometime.

November [3 metas]

Most popular: The Latest Update to the Kissing Multiverse - the hotly anticipated post-Only Friends update to the kissing charts

Favourite: the kissing charts, and Thinking about Pat, Pran, and competition - again, I love to think about Pat and Pran. I consider this one to be part of an ongoing series, along with my earlier metas on pursuit and the rooftop.

December [1 meta]

Most popular (and favourite): Not Me and earrings - technically an addition on @chickenstrangers' post, but was a relief to get my months old "Not Me is about ears and earrings!" thoughts out.

some no pressure tags: @chickenstrangers, @distant-screaming, @dudeyuri, @neuroticbookworm, @slayerkitty, @telomeke, @twig-tea, @waitmyturtles

When I say I wish popular romanisations of Thai were less ambiguous and more consistent, it's stuff like this:

Phupha and Pat (and Pa!) have the same initial consonant sound. Pran's is different—it's the same as Kampung's "p" sound. Pran, Pa, and Phupha share an "a" sound though—the same "a" sound Kampung also has (though it's written differently (*)). Kampung's "u" sound and Phupha's "u" sound are not the same. Kampung's "p" is the same sound as the initial in Pran. Kampung and Korn share an initial. It's the same sound the names Gunn (MSP) and Gun (Atthaphan) and Kan (KPTS) start with. All three of those names are pronounced identically. Kan (KPTS) is not pronounced the same as Kan (The Eclipse). Tian does not share an initial with Toto, but Toto (BBS) and Tinn (MSP) do. If the romanisation of BBS given names and ATOTS place names were consistent, we'd have Phut and Pha and Pran (or Pa Pan Dao). (Pa the person and Pha the word for cliff do not sound the same because of tones, but that's another topic.) I could go on.

And all this is just based on consonants and vowel quality and lengths, not even going into different glyphs for the same consonant. I don't have a solution to offer for this. I 100% think authors or subtitling teams (or, y'know, REGULAR PEOPLE who just want folks who don't speak Thai to be able to put their name in writing) choosing a romanisation that looks good to them is valid. But I'm also a language nerd, so I can't quite stop thinking how much harder this makes it for folks trying to learn more about the language, or pick up more about it, either.

(Name examples and corresponding official romanisation taken from real life, A Tale of Thousand Stars, Bad Buddy Series, KinnPorsche The Series, My School President, and Our Skyy 2)

(*) Edited 2023-06-16 to add: this was a mistake stemming from too many unchecked edits and I'm sorry. Kampung's "a" is neither long nor short whereas Pran, Pa, and Phupha have long "a" sounds and Pat has a short one.

[absolutebl]

Hi! I’m curious if you have any insight on the use of the particle “ja”?

My main association of it is as the particle older women use with young adult characters. For example, we see Dean’s grandmother use it with Dean and Pharm in UWMA, and Than’s mother, Kwan, uses it when she meets Praifah. (Praifah: “Sawatdee kha” Kwan: “Sawatdee ja”.)

The impression I’ve always gotten is that it’s a way to capture the “ladylike” charm of politeness without implying any actual formality, social equality, or social distance. But I have no idea if that’s accurate or not.

However, I feel like I’ve heard the actual male young-adult characters using it recently, and not in a way that seems to have any intended gender or sexuality implications like some of the other alternative particles. Instead it seems to be a campy flourish when one is being overdramatic or jokey. Main example is MSP/MSP Our Skyy 2, where I know I heard at least Tinn and Por use it (and I’ve seen Ford use it on social media), and I think Gun as well. For example, when Tinn serves the jumba shaved ice in Our Skyy 2 when he does the weird hip-thrusting joke (which I still don’t understand) and says “Jumba ma laaeo ja” (“Jumba is served”).

Have you noticed this as well? Any idea if this a new usage or one that always existed but just hadn’t made its way into BL previously or hadn’t been popular with “the youths” until recently?

The Ja Particle - Thai Linguistics & Polite Particles

Thai particles and pronouns are pretty unfixed and evolve FAST.

Ja is a bit like ha but much less household intimate, also less soft. It's informal but not rude. It implies a level of familial/friendship intimacy but not over-familiarity or necessary equality. (so not like guu/mueng or wa).

It's most often used by elders to youngsters or amongst peers. I would be super cautious, and liable to pay close attention, if it showed up used by a younger person to an elder. That would be... unusual, and likely impolite. Husbands may use with wives, or parents with a group of their kids, or kids group of friends.

Not something a tourist should use.

For example, we see Dean’s grandmother use it with Dean and Pharm in UWMA, and Than’s mother, Kwan, uses it when she meets Praifah. (Praifah: “Sawatdee kha” Kwan: “Sawatdee ja”.)

This a a softening and acknowledgment of the kid's polite behavior. It's being used to "bring down to earth" the adult character in a way. Implies that the adult is "cool" or less stiff than others of their age might be.

The impression I’ve always gotten is that it’s a way to capture the “ladylike” charm of politeness without implying any actual formality, social equality, or social distance. But I have no idea if that’s accurate or not.

I don't think it has a feminine association, maybe a little bit. You do hear men using it. And queer men all the time. So maybe a little bit. It's more of a code switch.

So if a man is using it with his wife he is softening himself to meet her on her linguistic level. Adult to child, older to younger. Social positioning-wize. It's not lowering, its cross pollinating.

However, I feel like I’ve heard the actual male young-adult characters using it recently, and not in a way that seems to have any intended gender or sexuality implications like some of the other alternative particles. Instead it seems to be a campy flourish when one is being overdramatic or jokey. Main example is MSP/MSP Our Skyy 2, where I know I heard at least Tinn and Por use it (and I’ve seen Ford use it on social media), and I think Gun as well. For example, when Tinn serves the jumba shaved ice in Our Skyy 2 when he does the weird hip-thrusting joke (which I still don’t understand) and says “Jumba ma laaeo ja” (“Jumba is served”).

Yes, notice its emphasis and intonation is much different when used in this context? That's sarcasm and mockery. The WAY THE WORD IS SAID is really important in Thai. They have 5 tonal intonations. 5.

In this instance the ja is a bit like:

A gay boy yelling to his gay boy friends: "Hey bitches!"

Or a dude bro yelling to the other dudes, "'Zup assholes?"

Perhaps not quite so rude but there is a campy insolence going on that's only to be deployed with peers and that's all in the intonation.

Ja is ALSO often used by kathoey, lesbians, and gay men (especially those who request/use the pronoun jay) within the queer community. It's mostly gender neutral so it can sub in for krap/kha if you don't want to ID your gender. As, indeed, can ha.

I have noticed a rise in its use in BL. Recently.

I don't know if this rise is due to:

A rise in its use in Thai common parlance as well.

The general queering up of the BL genre.

Confirmation bias, I am also listening for it more.

The general softening around pronouns and language allowed to appear on mainstream Thai TV.*

(* for those who don't know guu/mueng have only been allowed on TV recently)

[chaotic-aro-incarnate]

Listen I don't think we appreciate how big of an impact the casting of Fish Upon the Sky has had for like so much of the development of gmmtv bls

FUTS was originally going to star Pond and Winny

It was then changed to Pond and Phuwin and Winny was given a minor role along with Satang

P'Aun notices Winny and Satang's chemistry between their characters

When adapting My School President, P'Aun decides to change the plot of MSP and writes out the love triangle of tinn/gun/sound and replaces it with Sound & Win being a couple

MSP does numbers and now Winny and Satang are an official branded pair

Winny and Satang then play a couple together in We Are

Back to Pond and Phuwin! Because of FUTS the two become a branded pair

P'Jojo said he was specifically thinking about Pond and Phuwin when developing Never Let Me Go, so there's a good chance the show wouldn't have happened at all if PondPhuwin wasn't a thing (or at least look very different or be given to a completely different set of actors)

Pond and Phuwin also starred in We Are together

But back to NLMG, Perth and Chimmon are first introduced as a branded pair in that show

Perth and Chimmon then star in Dangerous Romance together (it is impossible to know if gmmtv would have ever made them a pair if nlmg didn't exist but for the sake of this post, let's assume that they wouldn't be a thing without nlmg establishing them)

Perth and Chimmon were also set to be in Perfect 10 Liners together, but Chimmon has since dropped the project and Santa Pongsapak has been recast in his role

Back to NLMG, in the Our Skyy 2 special episodes, Marc and Pawin are teased as a pair after having no projects together since 2020 (with My Gear Your Gown)

Shortly after, Dangerous Romance starts airing where Marc and Pawin play the side couple (the os2 was clearly setting up their reintroduction. also worth noting that marc was not in the regular nlmg and pawin was in many of the other os2 eps, so it's a deliberate choice to do this in the nlmg eps)

Marc and Pawin are then set to be in We Are together as well, but due to controversy, Pawin steps down and now Marc is paired with Poon

Back to FUTS!

Before Phuwin took over the lead role, I believe he was supposed to play either Neo or Louis' character (I think it was Neo's) but the point is that they had to recast that role and now Neo and Louis are a pair

Neo and Louis are then cast as the side couple in The Eclipse

Only Friends comes out and Neo gets cast, but allegedly Louis' mom didn't want him star in such a high heat show with sex and drugs and whatnot, so Neo is now paired with Mark

Neo and Mark are then cast as a couple in Cooking Crush, but because gmmtv overbooked him, Mark had to step down from the project and was recast with Aungpao

(this on I have the least evidence for) but Mark is going to be the lead in Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist and is paired with Ohm Thipakorn, which if he and Neo had done Cooking Crush together and cemented themselves as a branded pair, could have been different

Anyways the casting, development, or even very existence of: My School President, We Are, Never Let Me Go, Dangerous Romance, Perfect 10 Liners, The Eclipse, Only Friends, Cooking Crush, and Sweet Tooth Good Dentist, have all been influenced by the existence of Fish Upon the Sky.

Whether or not Fish Upon the Sky is a good show or not is it's own debate. But one thing we can all agree on is that it has shaped a toooon of shows and will continue to do so as these branded pairs make more shows and get recast and so on and so forth. And all of this is directly because they recast Winny with Phuwin.

[chinzillas]

the thing im liking the most about our skyy2 x msp is the fact that i doesn't feel like gemini is playing gun or fourth is playing tinn as we originally thought but they're both playing their og characters in a different universe where they have a different life and for that reason their characters are a bit different too ofc
