What The Hell. like genuinely do we realize. just their cadence of speech and the way they carry themselves now is so different to the way it was years ago, and that shows itself in everything from videos to what they post on social media to what they’ve been doing on stage for the last few months but like. god. i hold ii as a stage show and the whole era like very close to my heart it really hurts to know how much dan struggled in that time and that it was supposed to be the end of Dan and Phil (it wasn’t!!) but I’ve been thinking about just how completely different ii and tit are as stage shows and the way dnp perform them and it’s like i saw someone wondering about the acting in ii and though it was heavily dependent on audience participation a lot of the show was also acting and it’s not that they didn’t do it well! they’re great performers and maybe I don’t remember bc I wasn’t super into the phandom ar that time but it just felt like they were a lot stiffer performing it and that they didn’t really let themselves mess up or be silly a lot (outside of what was scripted I mean). someone lmk if you have different thoughts on this bc I haven’t rewatched it in a while this is just a ramble but i am so so happy about everything that tit is and that I got to experience this version of them as a longtime fan because it is so, so evident that they are really in the dgaf era, being unapologetically themselves, no one can tell us what to do and just having the most fun ever- that all comes out through the way they carry themselves on stage, improv silly little things for fun, genuinely laugh and smile through it all and dan calling phil babe. that’s the whole reason I started writing this like. cheers dear. it’s okay honey. we let ourselves phannie out over those moments as well but this feels so different?? and we haven’t even gotten audio yet but idk how to explain this I just feel like if phil had messed up a line years ago it would’ve been like a more performance level reaction y’know, like an eye roll and a this guy which dan still very much does, but just genuinely letting an “it doesn’t matter babe” slip out like????????????? they’re literally just boyfriends partners in life actual soulmates who live and work and do everything together doing this stupid silly fucking stage show together every night and dan can just call him babe and they move on and do the show talking about them sharing a bed and the ways they’ve supported each other through this whole thing and how they’ve gotten to this point of beautiful shared authentic fun with their audience and fucking press their hands together and go back to back after that song like this has no fucking clear point to it and yet im losing my mind. does anyone hear me

This Week in BL - Why so much on right now?
Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.
NOV 2024 Week 4
Ongoing Series - Thai
Your Sky (Sun iQIYI) ep 1 of 12 - Classic old school Thai BL. Of course I love it. Naïve sunshine freshman vs strict older protective boy (who already likes him but refuses to show it). Is he grumpy or just gay and tired of all of these women? We don’t know. We don’t care. We just want to see them fake a relationship. And that’s what we’re getting. I love it. I also love the friendship group, and that the younger brother is in it and he has some of the same magic BL-hottie superpowers as his older brother. It’s great.
Love Sick 2024 (Sun iQIYI) ep 10 of 15 - Phun actually turns into dangerous babygirl when he is flirting, who knew? (Dangerous Babygirl is a new archetype I have just invented by the way. Yes, I am pleased with myself.) Noh, who is a nice boy, doesn’t stand a chance. Neither does Jeed, since this new babygirl superpower gives Phun a damn near perfect “back off bitch” face.
The arm drape public claiming, it gets me every time. Has done since SOTUS. Nong Mick is hero-level in this version, hands-down my favorite character this time around (and a non-entity last time). I love him so much I can’t stand it. I haven’t updated my 1:1 comparison yet this week, didn’t have time to rewatch 2014, but I will later tonight. I'm chronicling my experience with 2024 as compared to 2014 here.
Kidnap (Fri Gaga) ep 12 end - What an absolutely excellent final episode. Smiley kisses!
Conclusion
A cute if patently absurd little show about a stuntman who is somehow convinced to kidnap a rich kid except they fall in love. It takes itself a little more seriously than it deserves for such a silly plot and some crappy stunts and contradictory content, but it was a pleasantly romantic experience all around, and I enjoyed myself. Extra credit for Q in that perfect blue color throughout. No complaints, a solid BL. 8/10
The Heart Killers (Weds Gaga) ep 1 of 12 - Jojo directs FirstKhao & JoongDunk in an action romcom about assassin brothers (Khao & Joong) who meet a tattoo artist (First) and a cocky mechanic (Dunk). I'm highly amused that Joong plays the older brother to Khao and that we have a take on the Taming of the ShrewBL. This has all GMMTV's best chemistry in one BL and some fresh concepts that I've only seen tackled in m/m romance novels (check out Amy Lane's Racing for the Sun, thank me later). My only quibble is Jojo, I like his style but his characters can get unreliably messy so…... this gonna be interesting.
Buckle up buttercups I got thoughts:
Frankly, I haven’t decided if this is good or so bad and so camp that it’s good? The latter I suspect. Either way, I’m enjoying it very much, but I had very little doubt that I would. This falls into so many of my wheelhouses. Not just the premise but the casting and the approach and the script. They pretty much knocked it out of the park with the first episode: one night stand + safe sex + linguistic negotiation = I’m in! During the opening sequence I spent the entire time worried about how many fingerprints Bison was leaving everywhere. And then I realized this show is going to require DEMAND we turn our brains entirely off.
We are in KinnPorshce / The Sign territory people. Take emergency precautions! Do not engage brain meats!
Kiss Me Kate only gay and hitmen? Frankly, it sells itself. The music is extremely stupid though. (Brain, stop it!) I gotta say that FirstKhao are good because…… FirstKhao. But JoongDunk are absolutely perfectly cast. Like: couldn’t be a better pair in these roles. Dunk, in particular, is slaying. I did not have Dunk as Petruchio down on my “best casting choice of all time” BL bingo card, but apparently there he is. Awesome.
Fourever You (Thurs YT) ep 8 of 16 - I’m warming up to the second couple a little bit. I actually don’t mind a bully romance the way some do. But this isn’t quite hitting the notes that I want from one. Still, I found this week more engaging than last week.
Secret Love (? YT?) 1-12 of 81 eps - They dropped 12 eps at once randomly on YT totaling about 20 min. So of course, I watched it. Because I have no self-control and STEPBROTHERS! Adopted into a rich family, boy falls in love with heir. But when he is made the heir instead, everything goes wrong. Now enemies the two boys reunite and sparks! I hate this format but dammit I love this utter dross. It’s very early Chinese BL feeling but from Thailand. I don’t care. It’s so stupidly great. This is my kind of BL.
Caged Again (Fri Gaga) ep 3 of 10 - There is something sweetly innocent and earnest about this show. It reminds me of Takara and Amagi or even Light On Me but less stiff - this one is quintessentially quirky and casually Thai about it. It’s interesting that this has an 18+ rating, which means it’s either gonna go very violent or sexy or both. Right now I can’t imagine that, it doesn’t suit. But I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes. Junior with his Mean Girl crop top moment is the goddess of the week though. Fierce queen penguin.
Perfect 10 Liners (Sun YT?) ep 4 of 24 - I love the side couple so damn much. How are they so adorable? Still not wild about the mains, and not likely to get there anytime soon. That said, I did like seeing the “sleeping in your boyfriend‘s class while he gives you his jacket” trope drop. We haven’t had that one for a really long time. My Engineer maybe?
Every You Every Me (Mon Gaga) ep 7 of 8 - I did find this installment kind of boring. I just don’t like actors as main characters. Much as I’m enjoying this show and I think the actors are doing a good job, I really do wish it was more like what we had been sold on: Connected reborn characters fated to be together over and over again. Not this weird little mishmash of whatever. I’m now annoyed by a format I was initially charmed by.
Jack & Joker (Mon IQIYI) ep 10-11 of 12 - still on hold until it ends or I can cope with the pain. I just can’t go into darkness right now.
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Our Youth AKA Miseinen: Mijukuna Oretachi wa Bukiyo ni Shinkochu (Japan Tues Gaga) ep 3 of 11 - SNIFF TEST! But done by Japan so it’s that much better and more kinky. The way H looks at M pretty much defines naked lust. “I got extra beat up so you’d take pity on me and then I admitted it to you” is so damn warped I can’t even with this boy. This feral kid is gonna drive me feral. The power and the control and the execution of this show is just spectacular. I keep thinking about it after its done and telling people IRL about it. (I rarely talk BL IRL.) It’s classy. I do love it when Japan does classy BL for us.
See Your Love (Taiwan Weds Gaga) ep 6 of 13 - so completely and utterly adorable. The learning sign language thing! I loved it so much.
Love is Like a Poison AKA Doku Koi: Doku mo Sugireba Koi to Naru (Japan Tues Netflix?) 10 of 12 eps - Possibly one of the best confessions of the year I have to say. Also a wonderful character growth arc for our lawyer. Exactly as one might hope. The plot twist was slightly predictable but still adds a delicious note of tension to our final episodes.
Blue Canvas of Youthful Days (China Sun iQIYI) eps 7-8 of 12 - You don’t want me but you won’t let anybody else have me either. The song of the repressed seme. I did like the irrational jealousy moment and a few other bits, of course the crying kiss. You know I love a crying kiss. Even if it’s a somewhat censored one. But this is also leaning a little bit darker than I want at the moment. This being China, I anticipate the darkness and doom getting worse not better.
Teenager Judge (Vietnam Sat YT) ep 9 of ? - The incredible migrating lip injury continues. Could we please get on with the BL aspect of this show? I’m getting frustrated as well as slightly bored at this juncture. Pacing darlings. Pacing.
Love in the Air: Koi no Yokan (Japan Sat Gaga) ep 4 of 10 - Still not sure. I think I like this better than the original, but I’m confused. I did make disgusted scoff noises and say “oh dear” a couple of times. Which makes me sound like a World War II grandpa (only the housemate's cat noticed), but is also classic me when profoundly disappointed by a piece of media. That’s said, the sex scene was pretty good. In the end, I wasn’t as frustrated by this version of these characters, but they didn’t have as many highs or lows as the original. So first half probably works out about the same in my all-purpose rating system. The true proof in the pudding is going to be couple number 2 tho......
It's airing but......
Winter Is Not The Death of Summer (Weds YT) ?? eps - Criminals who meet in prison fall in love. I did find it on YouTube, but I did not find any English subs for it. The first episode seems to be only six minutes long. It is very pulp. But it is intriguing. So I hope it gets some sort of international or something at some point. for now I’ll put it to the wayside.
Bad Guy My Boss (Thai Sun Gaga) 10 eps - I DNF'd at ep 7, I couldn't make it. I am weak. Life is hard enough right now, this show is making it harder. It’s not what I want from my entertainment.
Bad to Bed (Taiwan Sat YT) 10 eps - This is a little too low production value even for me + just very very odd. DNF
In Case You Missed it
Love for Loves Sake got some kind of special on 11/9. Not sure what, why, or where. Only the rumor that it...... is. I'll believe it when I see it...... literally. Let me know if you found it.
The Bangkok Podcast covered Marriage Equality in Thailand: More Complex Than it Seems. They missed some of the point and all of the queer perspective. But it's a local lawyer talking about it and how it was implemented, which is quite interesting.
Dominant Yakuza and Wimpy Corporate Slave AKA Ore-sama Yakuza to Hetare Shachiku: Kuni wo Koeta Jingi Naki Dekiai, Japan YT. A 30 min slice of ridiculousness. This mini walked out the back of one of my 1999 yaoi (you know those little shorts they always had along with the main story?) and randomly got cut together by some helpful malcontent, tumbled into my YT feed like a Taiwanese prat fall, and I couldn't be happier.
This is the Cliff's notes of a story that could have been amazing, but I adored it anyway. Basically what it says on the tin: office cutie from Taiwan working in Japan runs across hot AF mafia hit man beating up lesser thugs. Falls instantly in love, turns out so does the yakuza. They end up together for...... reasons? (one is cute and the other is cool?) That's it. It's dumb and I loved it. 7/10 because it really isn't good, but it lives on in a very warped corner of my shriveled old heart.
Next Week Looks Like This:
Still to come:
11/28 Spare Me Your Mercy (Thai Thurs iQIYI) 8 eps on OneD (no word on inter) - Increased rates of deaths in terminal patients has a police captain investigating the palliative care doctor with whom he's fallen in love. Their relationship deepens but the mystery persists, driven by mistrust. Adapted from the novel "Euthanasia" by Sammon (Triage, Manner of Death) stars some old guard BL actors: Tor Thanapob from Hormones as the doctor and (fuck me YES) Jaylerr from Great Men Academy and goddamn Grean Fictions as the captain!
Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.
THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS
We stan a smitten seme who's too reserved for his own good. Sunshine is gonna have this boy wrapped around his little finger in no time. (Well in 12 eps, but we know what we like!) Your Sky
King behavior.
Dangerous Babygirl behavior.
Both Love Sick 2024.

Dude I hate when you're watching a movie and you become so immersed into the world and then after finishing it you look at your own and it's just,,,,like wdym not everything is in a painted stlye?? Wdym mutant turtles aren't real?? WDYM NEW YORK ISNT A PLACE WHERE IT SMELLS LIKE DIGUSTING MARIJUANA AND DRUGS AND SHIT AND PISS EVERYWHERE????????????
#Rewatched tmnt mm that's what I'm referring to-#But like man-#Our world is so bland- Nothing fictional is real and the only thing we do is pay taxes and shitty politics-#Also of note-The last part is my personal experience-I just went to NYC during my road trip-Spoiler Alret: it's nothing like the movies 😔#But Times Square was very pretty! Loved the lights :] it's better to see it in the day tho since at night there's like-barely any room-#tmnt#tmnt mutant mayhem#teenage mutant ninja turtles#tmnt mm#BusterRambles

I can't believe Oikawa isn't in ur top 5,,,, girl ur roots,,,, (I'm jk that's totally fair I just really loved how you wrote him in your ao3 works and your old blog)
NO OMFG UR SO RIGHT!!!! he was like, MY MAN back then. there's a fic for oikawa on my ao3 that's dated from 2020 and one of the tags is something along the lines of 'ever since atsumu showed up on the scene the oikawa stans have been real quiet' and truer words have never been spoken. i just never thought the oikawa amnesia would happen to me 😔
#there r nights when i need a drink and a cold cigarette bc i start thinking abt him#and then there r nights like last night where he didn't even cross my mind when making that list 😭😭😭#ugh time to rewatch hq and relive the experience of meeting oikawa for the first time

*takes my last adderall so i can finish all my work in one day*
*finishes one (1) assignment*
*gets distracted and spends the rest of the day hyperfocusing on delicious in dungeon again*
#i rewatched half the anime last night cause i was too tired to do anything else#i even almost got sucked into reading the manga again the other day but forced myself to stop after 1 chapter#def gotta buy hard copies#this is one of if not the only thing i can enjoy multiple times IN SUCCESSION!#actually i was like this with turning red and spiderverse too but#dunmeshi is different.... dunmeshi is special..... my enjoyment of it is more than just the animation or the art.....#ive never felt this particular way about anything but i've always wanted to#in the past my fanart often felt a little forced even tho i liked those things it was hard to get excited about anything#i think dunmeshi is partially responsible for my depression being in remission#literally#the only depression i feel since spring is about financial problems or being lonely#tangible stuff#but it's not the deep internal depression ive felt for most of my life#idk how to explain but like there's layers to depression#the easier kind to heal from is based in identifiable current issues like loneliness or financial troubles or grief or burnout#then theres the kind that comes from complex trauma or i think sometimes its genetic too#i thought that part would only go away once i solved the surface level stuff and could heal thorugh positive experiences to contradict#the pathways my brains formed overtime via trauma#but although ive had a few moments that have helped#i think dunmeshi. moving out of my old apt where i lived with 3 cishet men into an apt with 1 chill roomie. having time over summer to#get used to a self made routine (despite having MANY financial issues and still not being able to spend it how i planned)#all that is mainly what helped!#like for the first time i was getting excited abt stuff!#i still kinda struggle tho with maintaining that excietment#except with dunmeshi!#it's like no matter what my excitement hasn't diminished#thats very comforting#i gotta force myself to engage in more media so i can find more things to love#i have a habit of putting off things i know ill love bc i wanna be ready for it#so that if i do love it ill have the time and energy to get inspired and make fanart

ranking luca marinelli movies not by how good they actually are or even how good he is in them but by how good they are to fall asleep to
#this brought to you by last night's rewatch of martin eden. tranquiliser dart of a film (honorific)#i wasn't tired during the film but after? straight to sleep. 10/10 experience#eight mountains would be up there but it would upset me too much to sleep. maybe il padre d'italia but again same reasons#considering.#haven't seen all of them so will not be thorough. however.#fun little task for tomorrow#neon has thoughts

The only things I knew about the Lost Boys going into was that my dad liked it and one time I woke up at like 2am during the scene David shows his vamp form in the tree. I was a kid who got scared very easy [i couldn’t even watch Scooby doo zombie island until I was 10]but wasn’t scared of that even a little. I was fascinated. I think that’s why David was my favorite for a long time, he was the first “scary” thing I wasn’t afraid of.
#it took me a while to figure out what the movie was tho#bc again#I was 7 and I quickly feel asleep again#I remember dreaming about David for years tho#just his face and being so fucking intrigued by him#eventually I asked my dad about the movie#it had been a couple years so I struggled explaining#so when we figured out it was TLB I sat down at 14 and rewatched it for the first time since that night#loved it (obviously)#every month after that we would watch TLB together#just me and my dad#it’s my favorite tradition I had with him and the one I’d do anything to experience one last time#sorry for getting personal#just missing him a lot rn ig#still watch the movies at least once a month tho#I might delete this#it’s sappy asf#I didnt mean to get sad on here#I try to keep it happy and light but found some pictures of him tonight#the lost boys#tlb#the lost boys 1987#tlb 1987#david tlb#tlb david#david the lost boys#the lost boys david#glb tlb

NYX NYX NYX NYX NYX QUESTION
Hm pardon me. Now!!
Did you expected the ending of banana fish?? Because honestly, i got spoiled, but i know for a fact that i wouldn't have thought that would happen if i didn't
MARIA MARIA MARIA MARIA MARIA ANSWER
i somewhat expected it? not really? while i was watching i was telling my friend about it (she started it a while back but never finished bc she felt like she couldn't and didn't mind the spoilers since she knew she was never going to finish it) BUT THEN she just gave me the vaguest sentence of "doesn't he die at the end?" and i was like WHO????
so i was kind of spoiled for me but not really? i had a general idea of how it was ending but i didn't know for sure
even then, i wasn't expecting how it actually happened
#☆— inbox#☆— maria <3#this is so funny bc last night as i was trying to sleep#i thought of shorter#and maybe i cried a little before bed#EPISODE NINE HAUNTS ME EVERY DAY OMG#anywayssss#ive never recovered and never will#i half blame this on arisa bc she said to watch it#but i also blame it on me cuz i read the warnings and said yeah that's fine#it was definitely an experience that will remain with me#...is it bad i kinda wanna rewatch it tho...#ITS ONYL BEEN A MONTH UGH

crazy how im gonna start philosophizing about this immediately
#and what if i eat that last piece so you can’t have it#if my hands go limp and my lips go blue knowing I’ve ruined things for both of us#do you throw the puzzle away? hours of dedication and work I was meant to live to see the end of?#do you lock it away in its own coffin? scared to see the reminder that I never wanted it finished#you keep it there. you set your morning coffee down next to it and pretend to ignore it#in the late nights you stare at the empty hole and wonder if you could’ve finished it. you wonder how fast you could throw it off the table#you wonder if your work shatters into the pieces if you’ll resist the lure of what I died to experience#it ends up framed. seamless except for the glue waiting to hold the final piece now shriveled and rejecting#okie poetry brain go brrrrr :3 this was actually kinda good i might clean it up and make an oc#WAIT. SMTH SMTH CHAINSHIPPING.. AND ITS A PUZZLE PIECE#I feel like it could apply to the bathroom and lawrence not killing adam but i would need to rewatch it#so im gonna say actually this is so amanda and strahm from my crazy au from highschool :3

That opening scene of Obi-Wan Kenobi is… really upsetting.
#I’ve seen it before but it’s been a year or two#rewatched it last night and it really did feel like my heart was being squeezed#but in a not-wholesome way#more in a my-heart-will-explode-and-I-will-die-actually way#it’s SUCH an upsetting scene#and it’s so rare for me to experience very emotional reactions when I interact with media#like. it hardly ever happens#last time it happened was when I watched Finch? I believe?#there was a scene where something horrible and horrific happened but in the midst of that#there was an innocent bystander#and my heart squeezed because the image of such innocence in the midst of such overwhelming awfulness was…#a lot#it was a lot#and I felt that again last night#aaaaaah#to be fair the Kenobi scene was REALLY well done#pulled you into the story and made you feel like it was really happening#and that was also why it was SO upsetting#because it felt like it was really happening#my post

the twist in the new hbomb video really got me 😭 i was a casual james somerton fan and stopped watching his videos bc i could never tell with the reuploads whether i'd seen them already or not but i had no idea there was any Real drama, let alone to this extent
#i feel like i shared one of his videos with either my discord or ash specifically and if i did. oops sorry#watch your feet#literally was watching last night (after rewatching the oof video bc i wanted to watch the new one w my husband but he'd never seen a hb b4)#(and i wanted him to have a baseline shorter experience before jumping into 4 hours)#and when the twist was revealed i like reached over and grabbed my husband and screamed????#ig i consume so much Good content that i take that level of trust and benefit of the doubt to Everyone whether or not they Deserve it#totally wild. loved the video it just threw me for a loop
