NCIS: Los Angeles Season 14 Rewatch: “Shame”

The basics: Kensi, Deeks, Fatima and Rountree investigate the death of a sailor on the Allegiance. Callen is with Anna and their possible wedding planner while Sam is spending the day with Kam.

Written by: Written by: Sam Block & Jamil Akim O’Quinn. This is the first episode as writers for both Sam Block and Jamil Akim O'Quinn. Since season 13, Sam Block was an assistant to the executive producer. Jamil Akim O'Quinn was a writers production assistant for "Of Value" earlier this season.

Directed by: Daniela Ruah directed “Russia, Russia, Russia”, “Lost Sailor Down”, “Pandora’s Box”, “Live Free or Die Standing” and "Flesh & Blood".

Guest stars of note: Kayla Smith as Kam Hanna is back from season 12’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”. Bar Paly returns from “Flesh & Blood” earlier in the season. Kavi Ramachandran Ladnier as Shyla Dahr is back from “A Long Time Coming” crossover episode, Duncan Campbell is back “In the Name of Honor” as Agent Castor, Joy McElveen as Chief Petty Officer Kemi Adebayo, Heather Grace Hancock as Robin Wassner, Rosanna Pansino as Tara Walker, David Figlioli as Rondel Fryer, Marco Antonio Martinez as Command Master Chief Petty Officer Jalen Hughes, Justice Gamble as Chief Petty Officer Dennis Bradshaw.

Our heroes: Are siloed like a COVID episode.

What important things did we learn about:

Callen: Wants serious security at his wedding after Kensi and Deeks’s nuptials. Sam: Good father whose compassion isn't conditional Kensi: Fill-in Agent Afloating with Fatima. Deeks: Good at noticing handwriting differences. Fatima: Fill-in Agent Afloating with Kensi. Rountree: Training with Sam to improve his chase times. Kilbride: Worried about clusters of suicides.

What not so important things did we learn about:

Callen: Quoting “The Deer Hunter” while planning a wedding. Sam: Wanted to make Michelle’s meatloaf, had it made for him instead. Kensi: Fishing for a wedding invite from Fatima. Deeks: Left for a deposition. Fatima: Going on long walks with Akhil Rountree: Jokingly weirded out by Deeks. Kilbride: Proud of Gen Z for being open to who people truly are.

Where in the world is Henrietta Lange? Not a mention.

Who's down with OTP: Kensi and Deeks are Kensi and Deeks. Wedding plans yield arguments between Callen and Anna and also so quality time on the couch. Fatima seems to be having a good time Ali. Kam broke up with Josh and is dating Riley.

Who's down with BrOTP: Sam is training Rountree. Kensi is looking for wedding invites for Fatima.

Fashion review: Callen wore a dark blue button down shirt for the wedding planner appointment. An eggplant colored long-sleeve tee for Sam. Lightweight beige pullover sweater for Kensi. Dark grey long-sleeve tee for Deeks. Fatima wore a long-sleeve dark brown turtleneck. Both Kensi and Fatima wore NCIS jackets on the Allegiance. Rountree started the day in a Nike light grey athletic long-sleeve tee and later was in a light grey, long-sleeve tee-shirt (no swoosh). Blue three-piece suit, light blue dress shirt and medium blue tie for the Admiral.

Music: “Falling” by Lauren Jauregui is playing in Kam’s Air Pods as Sam returns home. “Modelle” by Bruno Nicolai plays at the wedding planner’s office.

Any notable cut scene: Not today.

Quote: Sam: “You know, I had always hoped that me and your Mom created an empathetic environment for you and Aiden. Wanted to make sure you never felt like our compassion was conditional.” Kam: “Yeah, of course.”

Sam Hanna – good father.

Anything else: On an aircraft carrier, Chief Petty Officer Kemi Adebayo notices Petty Officer Eli Wassner is missing from his station. She starts to search for him only to find a note in his bunk. Going deeper into the carrier, she finds him hanging from a pipe in a hold. He’s dead.

Rountree is running through a park area, doing some parkour as he runs. Sam is timing him. 1-minute, 17-seconds. Sam is shooting for 1:10. Rountree expects “a Sam Hanna lesson” and is not disappointed. Sam tells Rountree it is all about his mentality, keep setting goals and resetting them higher, “no comfort in greatness.” Rountree notes Sam looks pretty comfortable. Flattery will get Rountree nowhere with Sam. Rountree is looking for a ride to the office. Sam has the day off so it is Uber for Rountree who was driven to the park by Sam.

Sam shows up at home with some fancy coffee for a studying Kam. With Raymond hanging out with Arkady, it is daddy-daughter time for Sam and Kam. Kam tells Sam he didn’t have to bring her coffee and goes back to writing her paper. Sam offers to help but the reading material includes “Teen Women’s Sexuality and Politics: A Case Study of the Adolescent Female Body”. Sam thinks Kam’s got this.

Sam does, however, want Kam ready for her favorite sandwich at a local eatery. Kam brings up Hanna House Rules number 17 – schoolwork comes first. Kam picks up her coffee but the lid isn’t on right. The coffee spills on Kam. Running off to protect her Berkley sweatshirt and get the hot coffee off her jeans, Kam leaves Sam to save her computer. As he keeps it from the coffee puddle, Kam gets an IM from a friend name Riley. A cleaned-up Kam retrieves her computer and decides to work in her room. Sam mops up the rest of the coffee.

In the Armory, Kensi and Fatima are talking about her walks on the pier and the beach, probably with Akhil (but not mentioned). Kensi asks if Fatima has her address for the wedding invitation. They are called to Ops. Kensi lets Fatima lead so Kensi can hold her train.

In Ops, Petty Officer Wassner’s personnel info is on the big screen. Shyla is running the briefing. Wassner was an electronics technician on the Allegiance. The Allegiance had two suicides on the ship in recent months, the SecNav wants to know if this is the third. Kensi asks why the Agent Afloat isn’t handling the investigation. Lucy Tara just left the Allegiance for Hawai’i so a new Agent Afloat has not been assigned.

Wassner leaves behind a wife in Los Angeles and parents in New Jersey. Kensi asks if Wassner had any history of depression. If there was, Wassner never sought treatment. He also didn’t have gambling debts. The Admiral wants to know where Callen and Sam are. Kensi doesn’t know. Shyla reminds Kilbride that he sent Callen and Sam home for a week to get through some of their annual leave. Deeks and Rountree are going to interview Wassner’s widow in the boat shed, Kensi and Fatima are on their way to the Allegiance. The Admiral is worried that the suicides happening in clusters will have some struggling sailors think this is a way out.

In a wedding planner’s office, Callen and Anna are in for an appointment. They are offered champagne. Anna tells Callen he doesn’t have to be there, she could have brought Fatima. Callen wants to be there. After Anna gives him a look, Callen revises that to wanting to be there for Anna. Anna wants Callen to want to be there for the two of them. That’s what Callen meant, he assures her.

On the Allegiance, Kensi and Fatima are brought to see Master Chief Hughes in the hold where Wassner was found. He’s there to help as needed. Hughes points out the ladder Wassner used, the rope stored in the hold and Wassner’s knife. Kensi wants to see the body but that’s impossible, the body was sent stateside. Wassner is Jewish and the Navy is respecting his traditions. Fatima will have Shyla speak to the medical examiner.

Hughes turns over the note found in Wassner’s bunk. That is going back to NCIS for analysis. Fatima asks who knows about the note. Hughes says the ship’s Command, NCIS and Chief Adebayo, who found both the note and Wassner. Kensi asks to speak to Chief Adebayo.

In the boatshed, Castor shows up with Robin Wassner, the widow. Deeks points to the couch, and offers sympathies. He’s sorry to do this to her with all she’s going through. He’s looking to find out a little more about Eli, what he was going through on the Allegiance. They had a weekly phone call every Sunday. There were no signs that he was struggling. He was happy, they were laughing on the call. “We loved each other,” Robin tells Deeks and Rountree. They were starting to plan a family. Eli was a letter writer – he was old-fashion, she thought it was romantic. She’s happy to turn over the letters – “whatever you need.”

Kensi and Fatima interview Chief Adebayo. She is rather emotionless, giving one word answers. Fatima brings up two complaints filed against Adebayo. Having none of it, Adebayo explains that she doesn’t coddle sailors, that makes her the villain. She’s not complicit with mediocrity. Wassner did good work but in recent times, lost focus. Adebayo says she told Wassner to get his act together. Kensi pushes – was she too aggressive telling Wassner to get his act together? With a large group of sailors to lead, Adebayo does not have time to deal with each sailor’s personal issues. She didn’t know he was unstable. Kensi really pushes – the team’s well-being is part of her duties as their leader. Wassner is the third dead sailor on the Allegiance, maybe it is time to review how she is dealing with her sailors.

Looking at Wassner’s background, Rountree says there is no drug use, no alcohol issues, no other mitigating factors. Wassner’s medical records are clean, his discipline history is spotless and there are no financial issues. Deeks points out that Wassner was about to go on leave and start a family, there is real pressure there. Looking at the suicide note, Rountree calls it short and generic. Comparing them to the letters to Robin, Deeks notices that Wassner was quite poetic in his writing.

Both Deeks and Rountree notice something else is off with the suicide note. Deeks points out differences in how certain letters are written, how the ‘i’s are dotted. Wassner didn’t write his own suicide note – he was likely murdered.

Shyla tells Deeks and Rountree that forensics confirms Wassner didn’t write the suicide note. Looking through the sailors on the Allegiance, everyone was thoroughly vetted. There is no history of violence in any of the men and women on the ship. There were also no visitors or contractors on the ship in the last 48-hours. Someone on board did this but Shyla wonders why they hung the body, why not throw Wassner overboard. Deeks, who was almost thrown overboard 10-Christmases ago, tells Shyla that any sailor going overboard triggers an immediate investigation. By hanging Wassner, the killer tried to come up with a believable cause of death.

Castor returns with Robin Wassner. Saying there is no easy way to tell her, Deeks tells Robin that Eli was murdered. And while it may be hard, anything Robin could remember might help. Deeks brings up Chief Adebayo, who Robin calls lovely. In the prior year, Robin had a miscarriage. Chief Adebayo pushed through Eli’s temporary leave papers, called in favors to get him home to her. Eli didn’t ask for help, Adebayo overheard Eli mention the miscarriage and she got him home. “It’s the nicest thing anyone has ever done for us.”

Kensi tells Fatima that Wassner didn’t write his suicide note. They are looking for a killer. Fatima brings up Adebayo but she has alibis from the other Chief Petty Officers on the Allegiance – they all share a room and she was there all night. Kensi also brings up Adebayo helping the Wassners “in their time of need”. Adebayo also has a stellar personnel record. Disappointed in herself, Kensi says she left Adebayo’s personality cloud her judgment during the interview. Adebayo could have been an ally on the ship. Fatima brings up that Adebayo wasn’t helpful with some of her answers, Kensi shouldn’t beat herself up. They need to interview her again. Kensi also wants to apologize.

Since schoolwork first is still in effect, Sam offers to make Kam Michelle’s famous meatloaf. Kam likes that idea. When Sam offers an invite to Josh, Kam doesn’t like that idea. They’re not hanging out anymore. They’re both busy with their own things. Sam tells Kam he’s there if she wants to talk. The phone rings and Kam retreats to her room. Raymond is on the phone – could Sam bring over his pickleball paddle to Arkady’s?

At the wedding planners, Tara Walker introduces herself to Callen and Anna. She’s so excited to be working with them. Fatima told Tara about Callen and Anna. Since marriage is between two people, she wants to hear what they both have planned. Anna lets Callen go first. Callen brings up a theme and Anna is not big on themes. Tara ask what they are looking for in a venue. Anna is looking for atmosphere, Callen is looking for security. When Anna gives him a look, Callen tells her she didn’t attend Kensi and Deeks’s wedding. Moving on to an officiant, Callen mentions not being religious, Anna brings up that Arkady is looking into becoming an officiant.

Seeing things are going to hell, Tara pass Callen and Anna a list of questions to learn their expectations about the wedding. Callen thinks about eloping.

Kensi opens her second interview with Adebayo with an apology but Adebayo is not listening to it. Maybe if she was more involved in Wassner’s well-being, he wouldn’t have taken his life. Kensi tells Adebayo that Wassner was murdered. Adebayo is stunned. After speaking to Kensi and Fatima, Adebayo spoke to her sailors. An Ensign Choi saw a sailor named Bradshaw on roving watch. This was around 1AM. Fatima is going to get Master Chief Hughes to set up an interview with Bradshaw. When Fatima leaves, Kensi calls into Kilbride and Shyla, updating them on Bradshaw. Shyla has a time of death – around 2AM. Also, Wassner wasn’t hanged, he was choked to death.

From his office, Kilbride reads Kensi Petty Officer Dennis Bradshaw’s background. From Alabama, Bradshaw lives there with his wife. Their financials are odd. He’s has a separate account with $50,000. Kilbride doesn’t believe Mrs. Bradshaw knows about that second account. And all the money was deposited into the account in cash.

Walking into Ops, Shyla has more on Bradshaw. While Alabama is his home, he did not fly home when on three-months of leave in recent months. Instead, his cellphone was pinged in San Pedro. Bradshaw spent a lot of time in business called The Brass Boot, owned by Rondel Fryer. Fryer was administratively discharged from the Navy. As soon as he was out, investigations were started into tax evasion, fraud and money laundering. Investigations but no convictions. The Admiral asks about foreign connections and there are running phone calls with someone in China.

With Wassner’s position as an electronics technician, he had access to radar and ship technical data. Shyla thinks Bradshaw was selling Wassner’s intel through Fryer. If something went wrong, and Wassner learned Bradshaw was selling his data to a civilian in China, that could lead to a fight. It could also lead to Navy secrets being in the hands of China. Kilbride want Deeks and Rountree to interview Fryer. When Fryer’s background as an MMA fighter and the owner a large cache of weapons, Kilbride wants Sam to join Deeks and Rountree – “day off be damned.”

At the wedding planner’s office, Callen is stuck on question eight. Anna won’t let Callen “cheat”. Callen grabs Anna’s paper. Anna grabs Callen and pushes him onto a couch. They are not fighting anymore.

At The Brass Boot, Rountree is alone when Sam arrives. Deeks had a deposition – Kilbride knows. Rountree asks about Kam, “the first future woman President of America”. Sam mentions a paper, “tolerating” him at best. Rountree brings up Jordyn but Sam is not interested in any Rountree lessons right now.

Walking into the bar, Rondel Fryer tells the “gents” – Sam and Rountree – that they aren’t opened yet. Sam says “federal agents” and since we’ve all seen this show, Fryer runs. Rountree chases, sliding over cars, jumping over beer kegs. Sam pulls up in his car but Fryer already ran into an alleyway not no exit.

Walking back into her office, Tara finds a rather disheveled Callen and Anna. They thought the questions were great but they have to go. Tara looks at her messy couch.

Kensi and Fatima find Master Chief Hughes, who was looking for them. Petty Officer Bradshaw was in an accident on the flight deck. He’s in the trauma room in sick bay. Kensi and Fatima are on their way to sick bay.

Saying he thought Sam and Rountree were the IRS, Fryer ran because they are harassing him. Sam shows Fryer a photo of Bradshaw – was he ever in the bar. “I’m not at liberty to say.” Rountree sees that as a yes. Sam accuses Fryer of selling Naval Intel and being part of the murder of a Naval Officer. Fryer explains that The Brass Boot isn’t just a bar, there is a private club in the back. It is a safe space for military men, Hollywood types, executives who want to keep their private lives private. It is a part of a different time. Rountree realizes it is “a gay speakeasy.” Seeing himself as a guardian angel, Fryer explains that being gay may not get you beaten up on the streets anymore but “how many gay global action stars do you see starring in Hollywood movies?”

While that explains the bar set-up, Rountree asks about the calls to China. Fryer’s brother teaches English in China. After the brother went through a rough patch, Fryer lent him some money. The brother has been wiring Fryer money every month to repay the loan. Fryer makes it clear, he didn’t kill anyone. He’s there to let people be who they really are.

In Ops, Shyla confirms all of Rondel Fryer’s story. Other than the IRS, everything about the bar is above board. Perhaps Bradshaw and Wassner were involved in a relationship. And maybe something went wrong – breakup, one person wanting to go public when the other did not.

Fatima calls into Ops, Bradshaw wasn’t hurt at all. Hughes lied, which means the two are working together. The Admiral and Shyla try to figure out if Hughes and Bradshaw are a couple, where did Wassner fit in.

Outside Master Chief Hughes’s bunk, Petty Officer Bradshaw is banging on the door, begging “Jalen” to come out. Bradshaw tells Kensi and Fatima that Hughes has a gun and Bradshaw fears Hughes may kill himself. In his room, Hughes has his gun out. Explaining that he didn’t mean to hurt Wassner, it was an accident. Kensi says it is going to be OK as she inches closer to Hughes. Bradshaw understands, telling Hughes that he lived too many years in shame. Hughes says he’s so tired. Kensi gets the gun away as Hughes keeps apologizing. Fatima is able to cuff Hughes.

In the office, Deeks tells Sam and Rountree that Wassner found out Hughes and Bradshaw were a couple. He didn’t plan on telling anyone but Wassner freaked out when Hughes tried to bribe him with a recommendation for a promotion. Sharing some beers, Deeks understands Hughes and Bradshaw keeping their relationship on the ship quiet but didn’t understand keeping it from their families. “Sometimes the hardest people to talk to are family,” Sam says. Deeks agrees – “exhibit A, Roberta Deeks.” Rountree agrees as well. He doesn’t tell Jordyn everything and he knows Jordyn doesn’t tell him everything. But Rountree’s doesn’t think any of this makes sense - that Hughes thought of bribing Wassner because Wassner saw him kissing Bradshaw.

It makes to Kilbride. In 1991, the year Hughes joined the Navy, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” started its 20-year run. Many gay members of the service were beaten, assaulted and killed but there are no stats for that because it wasn’t counted. What was counted was the 100,000 service members who were discharged. Hughes was from a different time. While Kilbride isn’t always a fan of the younger generation, he likes that they aren’t afraid of someone who is different. They may not understand the other person, but they aren’t afraid. Rountree says Deeks still freaks him out a little. That kills the moment.

Arriving home, Kam wound up making the meatloaf for Sam. Sam tells Kam that he always hoped that he and Michelle created an “empathetic environment” for Aiden and for her. That the two would never feel like “our compassion was conditional”. Kam knew this. Sam tells her he knew that she broke up with Josh and that she may be dating a woman. Kam wants to know if Aiden told Sam. Sam is not happy that Kam told Aiden first. Kam says Aiden wasn’t told, he just figured it out.

Sam makes it clear, he would never turn his back on her. Why didn’t she tell him? Kam explains that she really liked all the guys she dated. And she really likes the woman she is dating now. She doesn’t know if she’ll go back to dating men again or if she’s going to only date women. She’s figuring things out and she didn’t want to tell anyone until she knew. Sam ticks off the reasons he loves and admires his daughter – brave, smart, courageous. None of that changes based on who she is dating. He will always love her. Sam asks if Riley, Kam’s girlfriend, has a 4.0 GPA, works with a number of charities and has a prestigious internship set up for the summer. Kam explains she’d never settle for anything less. The two have dinner.

What head canon can be formed from here: There was a good episode to be done about the military’s history with gay service members but this one isn’t it. In fact, the best part of the episode was Kilbride’s thoughts at the end about how gay service members are treated now compared to when he was a younger man.

A very siloed episode – had a COVID season feel.

Liked seeing the Kensi-Fatima friendship in the armory. The program’s long-running friendship between Kensi and Nell is missed. Callen and Sam are bros, Kensi should have a friend not named Deeks.

Kam telling Aiden first is a nice bit of continuity. Kam also told Aiden first about her car and her volunteer work. Sam assuring Kam that his love for her is unconditional was good to hear but even better to know that Kam didn’t need to hear it, she knew it.

Of course Fatima knew a high end wedding planner.

Episode number: This is episode 14 of season 14 – two-thirds of the way there. It is episode 316 overall.

Hello! How about ‘Ascots and tie pins’ for the ask game? I’ve been reading a lot of kingsman fic recently so that called to me. Or, if you’ve already done that (or even if you haven’t) silver linings?

No worries @ladyaj-13! I'm just happy for the ask. Instead of dealer's choice I took out all the previously asked ones and then some i remember talking about last time the WIP titles thing went around. Got the list down to 20 and rolled two d20s because why not. So Passionate Kisses and Stranded in Summerset!

Passionate Kisses is a working title for a Lambert/Aiden (Witcher 3) WIP based of one of my favorite Mary Chapin Carpenter songs of the same title. Lambert gets drunk and figures out Aiden wants to kiss him then teases him about it until he does and suddenly the joke is not so funny and he's butter under Aiden's touch.

And Stranded in Summerset is for my snippets of fic as I play my D&Dcharacter Arnidark Sharpsword, half-orc ranger, through Elder Scrolls Online and love him more than my main account T_T The NPCs in this stupid game are just too good.

Here is a snippet of each:

Passionate Kisses:

Lambert woke the next morning to a splitting headache and Aiden's gangly limbs wrapped around him. As he awkwardly stirred, he couldn't help but rouse Aiden with him.

" 's too early," Aiden weakly groaned eyes squinting at the daylight. He tucked his head in between his shoulder blades to shield his eyes from the sun.

Lambert grumbled, "My bladder disagrees with you. Would you get off so I can piss?"

Aiden grumbled and rolled off of him.

Lambert stumbled into the woods plagued by his memories of the night before. He couldn't remember anything beyond that kiss. It stayed fixed in his mind. Nagging and clawing at an anxious itch. What else happened last night? And why couldn't he stop thinking about Aiden's lips on his? Waking up in his arms? His breath on his neck?

Lambert returned from the woods to find a still half-asleep Aiden tending a very small flame on their campfire with a kettle set above it.

"Tea?" he asked groggily.

"Yeah," Lambert mumbled with a short nod.

Stranded in Summerset: Arnidark spares a blinded vampire, turned to cure an incurable disease. He want to help her find a life so the sacrifices made for her don't go in vain.

Norasea: I can make it out in my own. I promise.

Arnidark: But you don't have to. I know someone who can help.

He took her arm over his shoulder and he began walking toward the entrance to the sea cave.

Norasea: Really I don't want to burden anyone else. The cost has already been too high.

Arnidark: Please. Just trust me.

Norasea: I-...I- what if I hurt you. I am so hungry.

Arnidark: I'm a hunter. I will find you something to drink. I promise.

Since this is already a very Aiden month and people seem to love him I’ll go with him!

Relationship status: single and no he won’t marry your daughter

Favorite color: green and gold

Favorite food: cereal and apples probably

Song stuck in their head: his mom’s lullaby (he hums it whenever he’s lonely or uneasy too)

Last thing they googled: well there’s no google in his world but if there’d be a magic google he definitely would’ve searched for the Alderking’s sword

Time: who even knows how time in his world works tbh

Dream Trip: I think he just wants to go out see some of the world(s), preferably the second realm

Last thing he read: he’s not much of a reader so it’s been a while but his last thing read was probably the handwritten copy of his favorite fairytale as a kid (his mother taught her boys practicing their writing like this)

Last thing he enjoyed reading: also the fairytale book

Favorite thing to cook/bake: apple pie! He always helped his mom baking it for his brother’s birthday

Favorite thing to do in his free time: hunt probably, though idk if it counts since it’s also his job, if not then probably cooking or drawing even

Opinion on circuses: I don’t think such a thing exists in his world either (I’m not sure if he’d like it though, I know I don’t)

Sense of direction: he’s a hunter since childhood and also (unbeknownst to him) half fae so of course he’s good at directions and tracking and stuff

doing this for Abora Weynild from countdown to magic

Relationship status: single, and perfectly content that way

Favorite color: she likes a good blue

Favorite food: soup. preferably with lots of different vegetables and some type of noodles and also mushrooms

Song stuck in their head: She'd have some random old folk song or some lullaby. And there's half a chance she know the older lyrics so if she sings it others might be confused by the lyrics she sings

Last thing they googled: no google existing :(. Last thing

Time: at the point I'm writing probably three or four in the afternoon some day in the winter

Dream trip: She thinks it would be interesting to see the (city I haven't named yet) where they have magic banned. If she ever were to travel

Last thing they read: Her textbook for Mage Society History. she just got it, and wanted to see what they covered. she more skimmed than read it

Last book they enjoyed reading: Probably her ancestor's diary. She reads it every time around when the Countdown happens, and she enjoys reading it, she likes having the secret knowledge

Favorite thing to cook/bake: Cookies

Favorite thing to do in their free time: Go through the attic or the basement. Whenever she does it, she always finds something interesting

Most niche dislike: the Mage Society. it's something her family has held onto– even after the recent whole 'Mage Society saved the world' thing. but besides that, she doesn't like

Opinion on circuses: they seem cool, thinks it's cool that they come to your city

Do they have any sense of direction?: Yes she does. In Kenhallow, especially Old Town, she knows where everything is, and can figure out other parts of the city. As far as other places outside of the city, she has no idea where they are relative to each other and doesn't care.

2022 Upcoming BLs - Mid Year Check In

Here’s a list, by country, of all the BLs that have been announced but not yet aired.

How long does it usually take from an announcement to getting more info on a BL being made?

THAILAND

Thailand is very unreliable, a trailer does not a BL make.

2 Moons 3: The Ambassador - delayed from 2020

*insert sarcastic laughter here* They have announced a cast. That came out of nowhere.

609 Bedtime Story

OhmFluke getting yet another 2022 BL? For WeTV Thailand. No MDL listing yet. A one night stand leads to a series of mysterious premonitions and a possible parallel universe.

Absolute Zero - delayed from 2021

Wabi Sabi dropped a teaser at the end of 2021. But it’s one of those we know has been in the works for ages. This is a “time loop to prevent tragedy” romance. We don’t always get HEAs from this studio, so be on your guard.

Art Adore En

University set pulp, country mouse/city mouse, crush, cohabitation, they were roommates, gasp! (forced proximity) Bad boy Ray, an art major ends up rooming with Lloyd, an innocent English major with a sheltered background. got a trailer. Country boy studying at a university in Bangkok catches the eye of his senior.

Bed Friend

Office romance, enemies to lovers, good/bad pairing, player meets tsundere, f-buddies. Adapted from a Y-novel via reliable production house Mandee who dropped a mini intro and a few snippets in 2021. Leads: James was Gui’s best friend in Oxygen and one of my top picks at the time to get his own BL. I am VERY excited about this. Net is an established actor but has not done BL before. JimmyTommy supposed to be side dishes as this takes place in the same office as their BL, Middleman’s Love. See below.

Plot: Uea is reserved and shy and hates players. King is a big time flirt. They work in the same office and share a best friend. Despite the fact that they don’t really like each other they end up in bed together.

Rumors: This pair as originally supposed to be the side dishes for Middle Love, but it seems they split the two stories and gave James & Net their own series. Not sure if this is a lesson learned from Why R U? or a lockdown necessity or a shifting to an En of Love model or if James & Net did so well in rehearsal they earned their own series. They are crazy beautiful together.

Predictions: while JimmyTommy will hold down soft and emotional, I think Mandee is going to use NetJames to bring the higher heat, just like they did with FighterTutor. This series could be good especially as it is based on a book so hopefully it has some plot.

Between Us - delayed from 2020 (Nov 2022)

Side characters from 2019′s Until We Meet Again (adaptation of y-novel The Red Thread), this is an adaptation of spin off novel (Hemp Rope). The book tells WinTeam’s romance from the start, so we might get some recon reboot action (like LBC2). From Studio Wabi Sabi for one of their most popular (and commercially viable) pairs BounPrem (Long Khong, You Never Eat Alone, Seven Project, Even Sun), this has plenty of funding and distribution (WeTV) with established (if inconsistent) BL director New (who did UWMA). Special Cute (non story) teaser clips started dropping Nov 2021, filming also started then. Fluke (Pharm) and Ohm (Dean) are expected to reprise their roles from UWMA.

Big Dragon

Announced after (but adding to Star Hunter's) 2022 line up, It is based on the y- novel, มังกรกินใหญ่ by Aiden N Vivienne, features Mangkorn (Dragon) & Yai (Big) in a high drama high angst enemies to lovers with a blackmail plot and a secret piece on the side.

Bitter Sweet

Stars the same actors as My Engineer. But revolves around the co-heirs (played by Cooper & Sean) of a fancy Hotel in Bangkok plus the head pâtissier (Ploy) and head chef (Inntouch). Cooper & Ploy are paired as per usual, which means Sean & Inntouch are playing off each other. Perth and Lay may put in appearances. Official trailer.

Boxer In Heart

A love story blossoms within the boxing arena staring Junior Ronnakorn (Gen Y) and Tiger Tanawat from Pai Roy Kor Production. Announced Feb 2022.

Buddy Line Y Animal

AKA Buddy Line Y(aoi) Animal (seriously?) dropped a trailer. From the same people who brought us The Yearbook (ugh) and based on 4 y-novels written by Scriper, slated to be released this year. Stars Man & Tile (Yearbook), Oat (Make it Right), and unknowns.

Cafe In Love

New Thai pulp, stars the actor who played Noh’s best friend Ohm in Love Sick 2. When his coffee shop close, he tries everything to get it to reopen and falls in love along the way.

Chains of Heart

Suspense thriller about a forest ranger, smugglers, memory loss, and lost love. Stars Haii (Cirrus in TT2) and Poppy (Porpla in YYY). Adapted from a Y-novel of the same name by TJ Tommy.

City of Stars AKA Fueangnakorn

An actor falls in love with a programmer and the narrative intends to “explore the ramifications of being public figure in the social network era who must endure critics, bullying, and defamation.” Looks like another Lovely Writer / Call It What You Want sort of thing.

Destiny Seeker

Songkram and Aye both are engineering students and live in university dorms. Songkram is the head student of dorm 3, which is where the "strong and athletic" male students are sorted. Aye is the head student of dorm 2, the dorm where all the "good looking" male students live. Aye used to be Songkram's tutor and friend, but they fell apart after both of them were chosen to be head students of the dorms. Dorms 2 and 3 have been at each other's throats for generations. Aye and Songkram might act like enemies, but Aye is actually in love with Songkram. However, he thinks Sonkram has feelings for Mean. What Aye doesn't know, is that he's the one Songkram likes, not Mean.

So, Bad Buddy the second coming.

The Eclipse

Tropes include: sinister boarding school, haze the one you love, good boy/bad boy, suspense & horror elements, self acceptance themes, a curse, enemies to lovers. GMMTV 2022 line up announcement full trailer. Staring First (The Shipper) & Khaotung (Tonhon Chonlatee) side dish pair from FUTS NeoLouis, and Pawin (My Gear and Your Gown). Looks good, dark, kind of Blacklist-ish meets Great Men Academy. I actually really like this pairing of Leads and I think they can handle the content. I’m excited about this one.

Fahlanruk - delayed from 2020

(Also spelled Fhalanruk - sigh) Y-novel adaptation featuring one night stand, friends with benefits, pining seme, and high heat. Trailer from June 2020 said coming 2021, so we live in hope. It’s from director Koo who has a long back catalogue of shows, if not a great track record with BL (Club Friday and Tonhon Chonlatee are his).

Plot: Fahlan (smart jock) meets Sherbet (edgy bad boy) sparks fly and they end up in bed together. Fahlan feels a lot more for Sherbet than is allowed, so he hides his feelings. Fahlan’s friends Ping and Tap, try to help their boy win his man, but are struggling with friends-to-lovers woes of their own.

Looks to be a strong contender in the Thai BL pulp dumpster fire of joy arena. It’s using tropes we rarely see and it tonally seems like a combination of Nitiman + Y-Destiny’s players episode (2 of my 2021 favorites). I like sexually messy and identity confused college dramas but this isn’t popular with BL main, and I suspect tastemakers know that. So Fahlanruk might struggle to find funding, but I will toast mad marshmallows over it, if it burns in truth.

Future the series

Based on a y-novel by Faddest (En of Love - yeah I didn’t know that was based on a novel, either). About, you guessed it, an engineering student and a dentist. Maybe this will be the FOTS we were all hoping for? Cast not fully announced yet but Fuse (the engineering student) played by Boom from the En of Love and might be the same character, in which case we can expect this one to be soft.

Heart by Heart

Half Toast Production adapting y-novel of the same name, the trailer is GOOD, and here’s an even longer one, I’m more excited for this one then I thought I would be. Has a bit of a Tasty Florida, jock/nerd, bad boy/good boy, high drama going on. Stars all unknowns but they look like decent actors. (Original trailer staring Gameplay is here, it’s now with a different production company, and new cast.)

I Feel You Linger in the Air

New Thai BL movie from the producers of Lovely Writer. This is a time travel historical romance. FROM THAILAND! H I S T O R I C A L ! ! ! Thai BL adaption of y-novel Violet Rains as I Feel You Linger in the Air has been cast and will be a MOVIE from WeTV x Dee Hup (producers of Lovely Writer). This is Thailand’s first historical BL set in the 1920s (time travel). The MDL listing has been updated with a plot description.

Intern In My Heart

Announced in February, starring Toptap Jirakit & Fame Chawinroj (the doctor in My Ride) in a WeTV production.

I Will Knock You

For Ch3Thailand starring unknowns, adapted from korean_rabbit's y-novel of the same name, directed by Champ Weerachit (2gether & Kiss Me Again) starring fresh faces. A college student and part-time tutor confronts the leader of a gang who then turns out to be his next student. College set student/tutor bad boy/good boy sunshine/grumpy younger seme pairing, enemies to lovers, bully romance? (I like these tropes).

Imado Jinja

For Amarin TV and KANTANA Group under Y Momen. Something to do with lucky cats and Japanese shrines.

Love at First Sight

The description says only, and this is a direct quote: “Reflects different social classes through trains.” I’m confused too.

Love in the Air

New MAME Thai BL offering that got a trailer and inspired much amusement.

Make a Wish

Fluke Natouch (OhmFluke UWMA etc...) & Judo (The Miracle Of Teddy Bear) to star in the upcoming WaGa Creative's medical-fantasy. Has had a read through, no trailer yet.

Middleman’s Love

(Formerly Middle Love) adapted from a Y-novel: office romance, friends to lovers, younger seme, self acceptance from reliable production house Mandee who dropped a teaser in 2021. Stars Jimmy Tommy (Why R U?, Close Friend, Peach of Time (not as a couple) and James (Beer in Oxygen) & Net (Bed Friend - see above). This pairing the specializes in soft, to be directed by Cheewin. Sigh. We saw them teased at the and of Cutie Pie so presumably they started this project next.

Plot: Jade works as a graphic designer and has always been stuck in the middle - average. His heart is hardened after a life spent being overlooked because he is not as charming or good looking as the rest of his family or friends. When his office gets a hot new intern, Mai, Jade assumes Mai couldn’t possibly be intersted in him. Instead he believes Mai is after his friend, Uea. Mai, of course, has other ideas.

Thailand’s version of Cherry Magic from their #1 softest ship? If script and production do even a half-arsed job it’s going to be adorable. Low heat and highly toothsome.

Motor-Cycle - delayed from 2019

Formerly known as Motorcycle the series, was supposed to release in 2019 and had a trailer, got bumped to 2020, and now? Who knows what’s up with this one. Dead I think.

Moonlight Chicken

Part of GMMTV’s 2022 line up, full trailer, director Aof has signed on so this is like to happen. Possibly not a romance, probably not BL, adult issues, self actualization, messy gays, cheating, soulmates? Stars EarthMix (1000 Stars, Cupid's Last Wish), First (The Shipper) and Khaotung (Tonhon Chonlatee).

Plot: Mix plays an openly gay character in a relationship with First’s character. Earth portrays a Chef who runs a restaurant while taking care of his nephew.

Apparently Thailand is entering Taiwan’s territory since this looks like a queer actualization narrative. Super smart of them to pick EarthMix for this style BL: messy gays being messy about life, love, and self acceptance. (However, do I think they can handle the high heat? Doubtful. Do I think GMMTV will bring the true high heat? Also doubtful. Case study? Friend Zone) Since this seems to be part of GMMTV’s "Midnight Series” dealing with darker themes like wealth gaps and social struggles, this might be a shorter piece. Good title. May not end happily.

Mr. Bad Guy

Only listed no further info.

My Broccoli

“The law of living in the human world is not to feel loved.”

My Engineer 2 - delayed from 2021

Second part of 2020′s My Engineer, continuation of the story arcs, but shifted focus to side couples (particularly RamKing). Filming was to start in April 2021, lockdown stopped it, so far just promo content. Many of the actors are now involved in other projects. Most of the support cast (except Mek) are expected to reprise their rolls.

My Lucky Cat

From Star Hunter, confusing but possibly about cat tribes (an old yaoi archetype) in a business setting, stars Dun (Thanu from Gen Y) and Bas (Wayo/Wayu 2 Moons, Gen Y).

My Only 12%

Y-novel adaptation (author Afterday - Bad Buddy) friends to lovers, from Studio Wabi Sabi starring SantaEarth (7 Project) about neighbors and childhood friends, Cake & Seeiw, who have totally opposite personalities slowly growing apart because of this. This one has the chemistry and the script so fingers crossed it’s not sad. To air on iQIYI.

My School President

Announced as part of GMMTV’s 2022 line up full trailer, this it their one high school set BL, with tropes like whipping boy, love triangle, and sing your feelings, it’s Love Sick + Korea and Japan's influence. Yes, we’ve seen it all before, but this is me: I never met a high school BL I didn’t want to grant a fair shake and I love me some whipping boy. Interesting to see such an old fashioned trope having a bit of a renaissance right now. All fresh faces in this one except Aun (Folk from My Gear).

My Tempo

BL collaboration series from The Brothers Thailand and Proxie Thailand with Chookiat Sakveerakul (Love Of Siam) to direct.

Never Let Me Go

GMMTV’s answer to KinnPorsche part of their 2022 line up, this is a mafia, attack dog (whipping boy + bodyguard), love triangle, obsession, suspense BL (full trailer), with Jojo of 3 Will Be Free to direct, so we know the action parts should be good. Stars PondPhuwin (Fish Upon the Sky), Aun (My Gear), and Chimon (My Dear Loser). Another dark one from GMMTV, not their strong point but this looks good but creepy. Feels a little classic yaoi with almost Japanese elements. I’m delighted to see Phuwin & Pond get a crack at something that’s not FUTS and of course Chimon ALWAYS makes me happy, since he’s one of my favorite GMMTV actors.

Nilundon - delayed from 2021

This is an ensemble of 2 BLs + 1 GL, featuring adult characters, cafe, grumpy/sunshine, rich/poor. It was postponed from 2021 to recast one of the leads, never a good sign. About a freelance photographer and heir to a famed Seoul hotel and restaurant business who, following a family death, returns to Thailand and meets a gregarious young barista. Side romances: producer is head-over-heels in love with her YouTubing bestie, and a veterinarian falls in love with the lead character’s impish cousin.

Past-senger AKA Pastsenger

Stars Marc (My Gear & Your Gown) and Copper (My Engineer) in a time slip story (90s kid travels to 2022) that seems a lot like a couple Kdrama’s I’ve watched only BL, so that’s cool. The show has a massive cast with popular actors like TIger (Top Secret Together), Champ Chenrach & Fluke Phisith (Siew Sum Noi) play side dishes. (Marc wasn’t in GMMTV’s 2022 line up, so he may have left after Bad Buddy.)

Past Love In The Future

From MAME rumored to star Smart Chisanupong and James Pongsapak aka LeonPob of Don’t Say No.

The Sweet Robot

Has been cast but with predominantly unknowns, Sib from I am Your King is the only one I recognize. Supposed to have sf/f elements.

Tell the World I Love You: Friends Forever - delayed from 2021 (Movie)

So much for Perth (Ae from Love By Chance) never doing BL again (although that subtitle gives me bromance vibes). He’s opposite Bas (Wayo/Wayu 2 Moons, Gen Y) in this action movie which has completed filming. Was supposed to release to theaters April 2021 then January 2022, not... nothing new trailer here. Established director Poj, support cast include Bank (Gen Y) about two teens falling in love caught up in the world of gagsters.

The Theory series

University set but a couple of mature themes and decent acting, kinda like what FUTS should have been only pulpy. Stars Dome (2 Moons 2) and Benz (En of Love), and Ken (Tum in Lovely Writer who I LOVE). Looks like a classic Thai uni BL about a freshman boy who falls in love at first sight with a graduating senior. I think it’s En of Love stye, so three separate but equally weighted love stories from within a cross over friendship group. (trailer).

Till the World Ends

Got nothing.

To Sir, With Love

New Thai HISTORICAL gay romance came outta nowhere (probubly not BL) aka Khun Chai. Does not look like it’s gonna end happy, but I’m still excited! (trailer)

Trouble Maker

This Faddist y-novel was optioned in 2021 (for 2022 they say) to be directed by Jane (Oxygen, SOTUS S, Nitiman, Our Skyy), starring KaownahTurbo (Love Stage!!!).

War of Y

20 episode of Cheewin’s nonsense.

Wish Me Luck

Starring my boy Fiat (Grean Fictions, SOTUS S, My Gear and Your Gown, Triage) who I’ve been waiting to lead a BL for a decade (it feels like). About a boss and his temporary employee in an advertising company, based on Bittersweet's y-novel of the same name.

Work From Heart

From DV8, starring Love With Benefits couple Gameplay & Folk a romance between two men set in the office featuring lots of other couples.

Y You Y Me

Chalk another one up to CRAZY description gods. (from WeTV). “It tells a story about BL's fandom through Gap, an ordinary boy that never has any experience and the female lead who is an active member of the fandom. The series is about the music band.”

You Are My Favorite

Adapted from a JittiRain y-novel (2gether) announced by GMMTV in their 2022 line up, (full trailer): timeslip, university set, one night stand, rewrite the past to change the future, sunshine/tsundere. Stars Krist (SOTUS) + Mike (2gether, Tonhon Chonlatee) and splitting up two long established branded pairs. Daring move from GMMTV. Another timeslip? (That’s at least 5 from Thailand in 2022). Who knew Krist would do a BL again? Like seriously? Also, is this going to be actual BL? Trailer does feature some classic tropes: elevator, rooftop assignation, lie on ground. I suspect this was originally intended to be a SingtoKrist vehicle, but I like Mike, and it’s nice to see him get a lead. I find him a likable, highly-watchable screen presence. Neither actors nor GMMTV are known for kissing in the BL, so I think we can expect this one to be Korean style low heat. These two are IRL friends though.

You Light Up My Life Again

This is a colab project between Thailand's Studio Wabi Sabi and Mainland China, directed by New Siwaj for WeTV in Thailand and Tencent in China. Chen Wen played Yang Meng, the pretty fae bestie in Addicted Heroin (2016). Thai actors include Mark Siwat (Bite Me) who plays a het side dish, and Wabi Sabi stable actors: Boun (UWMA) and Yacht (LBC). To film at Dhurakij Pundit University known for having more students from China than any other Thai uni in the Mandarin language. (Promo Trailer) Rumor is it's a proper kissing BL but will be edited (censored) and not actually be distributed to China as such, to avoid censorship. Or it will be a bromance. Regardless, don’t trust this one to HEA.

Plot: Qin Jun Hao (Cao En Qi), born into a wealthy family with a passion for basketball, breaks up with his GF, goes Thailand to pursue his dreams. He rooms with Yuan Zhiming (Chen Wen), a poor kid determined to work hard with a scholarship to study at the Faculty of Music. They grow close. Their friends include handsome senior "Charlie" (Mark), prankster "Da Ya" (Hu Hao Fan) and the basketball player "De De" (Boun).

It is about a Buddy & Budder pair system that lasts for a semester. Budder has to take care of Buddy. (For the Americans out there it’s like secret Santa but in service.) The Budder knows the identity of their Buddy, but the Buddy will not be aware of the Budder’s identity. If Buddy guesses the identity of Budder correctly, the Buddy will not need to write a report and get full marks and have the right to ask the Budder to take care of them until graduation.

Tropes already in the trailer? The little yellow backpack (it’s New after all), OMG they were roommates, jock/nerd, piggyback, beach frolic, sing your feelings, freshy games, possible love triangle.

I have a list of BLs that are cross country projects here: BL Without Borders

KOREA

Korean BL is more likely to happen than Thai BL and their trailers come much closer to release of the actual show, after filming completes.

Bon Appetit

From GoGo Studio a romance between office worker Do Hun and Yoon Soo, a man next door who cooks well.

Blueming 2

This is one of my favorites from this year (9/10). I’m not thrilled about this. It’s the same director as TMS2, and I didn’t like that one all that much. Still, I’m always intersted in where Korea goes when it’s given enough rope to hang itself.

Circumstances of Pungdeok Villa Room 304

To be adapted into an 8 ep arc (25 mins ea) about a happy-go-lucky third-generation chaebol who receives an ultimatum from daddy to: 1. Leave the house penniless and survive for 2 years; and 2. Achieve results as team leader in a new business venture. The owner of the villa he lands in ignores and disregards him. However, it turns out they work in the same company. Let the cohabitation office drama commence. Rumored to star the same pair as Kissable Lips - Korea’s first example of a co branded repeat pair. I liked them A LOT and am very excited about this show.

Eccentric Romance

From Silkwood (Peach of Time) about friends of 10 years who’ve been hiding feelings for each other enter the same university. Plus MURDER. It is already in production, stars former The Man BLK member Yoon Jun Won and Thai actor Save Saisawat (Ai Long Nhai). I begin to think every The Man BLK member will eventually lead out a BL at this point. This will be Silkwood’s second Thai/Korean colab but not their last.

Eul's Love

Adapted from a webtoon this is a reunion romance office BL.

Heesu in Class 2

Adaption of the comic by Lily, about a shy unpopular boy with a secret crush on best friend.

Comfort the Boy

(Adaptation of Dongmul's manwha webtoon A Shoulder to Cry On) to star idols Jaehan & Yechan BOTH from Kpop group OMEGA X in 12 ep run. School set, features a teasing confident gay, fake dating, and a rich/poor pairing, about homophobia/gossip putting a scholarship in jeopardy. Interesting that an idol company is allowing two idols from the same group star in a BL together. *danger will robinson” Due out in the fall.

Director Who Buys Me Dinner

This webtoon adaption is supposedly already filming about a new production house employee whose director (absolutely perfect in every way except that he seems to have lost his mind) claims to have lived three lives. Insists that they have to date if they don't want to die.

Happy Merry Ending

From Kidari Studio about 2 men who work with wedding events, grumpy/sunshine pairing.

Follow The Wind

Webtoon adaption from Myung’s BL Film (supposed to have released in the first half of 2022), from the director of My Sweet Dear.

Love is like a Cat

From Silkwood (Peach of Time) another Korean+Thai colab project, this one to star Mew Suppasit (Yeah. Fucking-A.) who plays a rookie film star, called the Cat Prince (for his cold arrogance) who goes up against a charismatic puppyish director. There is also a side romance (love triangle?) with a veterinarian. What the hell is Korea going to do with Mew’s level of gorgeous high heat? Guess who else is in the cast? Lee Geon Woo AND Chu Ji Min AKA Geonu & JM of JUST B.

Love Tractor

Comic adaptation from WATCHA (Light On Me & Semantic Error) about a stressed-out law student who family obligations force into the countryside where a series of strange encounters and misunderstandings with his hunky young farmer neighbor commence. Will this be an extended version of Strongberry’s Some More? Or Korea’s take on Restart After Come Back Home? Either way I am SO EXCITED. Country boy meets city boy is a very underused romance trope in BL.

New Employee

Ffrom WATCHA (Light On Me & Semantic Error) rumored to star Choi Si Hoon (Netflix's Single's Inferno). Another office set BL.

Oh My Assistant

Acquired and cast about but this is a sexy one for Korea, about an artist who draws adult webtoons and spends most of his time horny because of it, who hires an assistant that turns out to be his biggest fan. I guess we’re gone see how Korea handles thirst.

Secret Relationship

To be adapted by Cradle Studio (subsidiary of Kakao). About clever and resourceful Daon who has worked hard to overcome being poor. His cheap ways annoy his coworker, Sunghyeon but after “an incident” with his parents, Daon grows closer to him. But Daon also has feelings for his former tutor. This has the signs of a classic Kdrama all over it: Office setting, love triangle, lead suffering for his self-actualization. I’m optimistic about a longer treatment. Read more about it here.

Space Bakery

From Silkwood (Peach of Time) about a spaceship that crash-lands into and destroys a bakery shop. Of course this means the alien and the baker end up living together. At the same time, other aliens-in-hiding all around the city start hunting for them. One of my most anticipated BLs. It sounds SO WEIRD.

Unintentional Love Story

To star Cha Seo Won and Gongchan (maknae of K-pop B1A4). All we know is it’s a “love story that started with a lie” about rebuilding trust.

VIETNAM

About as unreliable as Thailand. No links to MDL because no Vietnamese shows are on MDL.

The Lost Ring

Reboot expansion into series of 2018 microfilm The Ring Goes Missing. College kid takes work as a houseboy for rich asshole who falls in love with him. From 02 Productions with the original lead pair, but delayed for funding reasons.

Melody In Me

Was to release July 2022 from AB Studios, Vietnam’s first classic uni-style BL featuring music and baking clubs and 2 soft boi pairing.

TAIWAN

Taiwan is more reliable than Thailand or Vietnam, less reliable than Korea.

Ghost and I Becoming Family

Movie about gay and traditional marriage with a police officer who creates a bond between a human and a ghost. Stars Lin Bo Hong and (I think) Greg Hsu.

God's Military Officer

Now THIS is a catchy title but I got nothing but rumored for CHOCO TV from the producers of HIStory 2&3.

About Youth

Alternately I Secretly Fell in Love with Student Council President (let the dumb titles continue) for CHOCO TV from the producers of HIStory 2&3, the director of H1: Stay Away From Me; H2: Crossing the Line; H3: MODC; Love Is Science is attached (we like her). About 2 high school boys with different backgrounds, personalities, and values who compete for student president, but have more attraction than animosity.

Papa & Daddy 2

Coming to GaGa starring Melvin Sia (Damian) and Chiu Mu Han (new actor as Jerry) scheduled to be released on August 8 (Taiwan's Father's Day).

My Tooth Your Love

From Result Entertainment (We Best Love series) about a dentist and his patient, a bar owner and a rebellious young man (who took the initiative even with a 12 year age gap!) script by Lin Pei who loves VERY traditional yaoi tropes (writer of HIStory1: Obsessed, HIStory2: Right or Wrong, HIStory2: Crossing the Line, HIStory3: Trapped, WBL, & See You After Quarantine?) Stars Andy Wu (Amensalism), Yu Jin, Michael Chang, and Alex Chou (composer/musician and the other bartender in WBL).

JAPAN

Japan is as reliable as Korea but takes more time about everything.

Egoist (2023)

One of my absolute favorite Japanese actors Hio Miyazawa (from His the movie) has the lead in this movie adaptation of Makoto Takayama’s autobiographical novel Egoist. He’ll be opposite super famous actor Ryohei Suzuki. This is about an openly gay but vein and superficial man (Hio) who falls in love with a personal trainer (Ryohei) who is stuck taking care of his sick mother. It’s not BL, it’s gay coming of age and we can’t expect it to end happily. Still, I’ll probubly try to watch it. Japanese movies are notoriously difficult to get ahold of, tho.

Kabesaa Doujin Sakka no Neko Yashiki-kun wa Shounin Yokkyuu wo Kojirasete iru

No English title yet Minamoto Kazuki's manga: starring Matsuoka Koudai (I know him from Five) and Nakao Masaki (Kakafukaka, Bow Then Kiss - he’s a BIG DEAL ya’ll) slated to be released in October. (source) The description from Crunchyroll is up on MDL but it’s incomprehensible.

My Beautiful Man: The Movie AKA Utsukushii Kare 2

I’m very nervous, I think that series stands alone and is perfect as it already is. I’m worried Japan is over egging the pudding. Meanwhile, My Beautiful Man won the Grand Prix “My Best TV Award” at the 16th Galaxy Awards.

Our Dining Table AKA Bokura no Shokutaku

Mira Ori's BLOVED manga (especially be me) is getting an adaptation! Lonely salaryman (talented cook) gets accidentally adopted by a college kid and his baby brother. They build a family together. This is a sweetly gentle and cozy manga and it will make a GREAT live action piece. I’ve recommended the manga in the past to anyone who likes BLs like Ingredients, To My Star, What Did You Eat Yesterday? and I think we are in for similar gay domesticity to Old Fashion Cupcake with this adaptation YAY!

Takara-kun to Amagi-kun AKA Takara and Amagi

AKA Takara-kun and Amagi-kun 8 eps about a popular guy and an outcast boy who like each other and start dating in secret. Premieres August 18 no word on distribution yet.

----------------------

Cambodia released a trailer of upcoming Khmer BL មើលបានហាមសម្លឹង AKA Eye Contact. We are in “don’t bet on it happening (or finishing)” territory.

(source)

Dated July 2022. I’ll be tracking these on my magic spreadsheet henceforth and no updating this until the end of year report. Ask if you want to know more.

initial thoughts on DCAS episode 21

AKA, the finale :O this will be a doozy...

for Going Through It as frequently and as strongly as Jake does, i find it hilarious that all of his promotional material always looks like it was ripped straight from a dorky high school girl's instagram feed. also, go Ashley, roast that clown (/lh)

that's such a cute drawing omg!!! i always have fun thinking about how good the drawing is in the context of the universe it was drawn in. like, to us, his proportions look kinda off, but in their universe, the giant heads and tiny waists are actually really accurate. Hunter is going to be the next great artist fr.

... i thought that the point was supposed to be that Jake grew more than anyone here, which is why he was facing down Riya. i mean, i guess you could say that Ally had to grow a new personality for the beginning of the season, and then have that character develop. she is more changed from s2 Ally than Jake is from s1 Jake because Jake had more of a character in s1.

and boy, would it suck if that promise was left unfulfilled! (/s)

it is true that this (if she actually remained on Riya's team the whole time) is kind of a win-win for Ellie. either Riya loses, or she gets $100K. both are acceptable.

this was such a cute/fitting response for Jake to have. it's a really great button on their relationship.

i love how smug they look at no one wanting to help Riya.

WHEN THE FUCK WERE YOU WATERBOARDED???

actually, we know that Tom is a terrible liar, so maybe he got waterboarded by the mob boss after they figured out he was lying in the interrogation.

w... what...?

dare i say iconic

i know that they didn't really have time, but with Alec and Ellie working together (and Alec protecting Ellie, as he did here), i had kind of hoped that we'd get a bit more closure on their relationship. like, does Ellie still hate Alec for betraying her? or is the fact that they were going to be in the villains alliance together mean that they'd cross that bridge? maybe i'm just forgetting, but their relationship feels somewhat unresolved. (i mean relationship platonically btw; no hate to people who ship them but i don't need to know if they're a couple or not because the canon answer is obviously no)

i don't know if this was really necessarily but good for you girl

this is like the first time Fiore has cared about anyone ever :,D Fiore and Alec the duo ever!!!

A GENUINE SMILE????????

why are you preventing this from happening? you know Gabby, so you should know that this would absolutely work.

rewatching the beginning of the episode after knowing the end, i sorta wanted to question whether Ashley abstaining from helping could have accidentally lost Jake the win. however, Tom is just so doggedly determined to cover his man that i think he probably was the best guy for the job. like, would Ashley dive for him? idk.

okay, 1) WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU THINK THAT WAS GOING TO DO, RIYA?!?!, and 2) HOW THE FUCK DID GABBY NOT LOSE HER ARM FROM THIS. IMAGINE IF SHE DID. THIS WAS WILD.

... does Riya understand how pain works? or the American healthcare system? Ellie surely wanted to use that money for something else, dude.

so they are kinda sweeping Tom's wrongdoings under the rug, huh? sigh. hopefully it's just a "for now" thing to be further explored in the miniseries.

i love Trevor's little :3 face

and boy, would it suck if this favor was left unfulfilled! (/s)

i watched a compilation of each Disventure Camp character's first and last lines, and let me just say, it's really weird that "Go, Jake!" (said with Aiden) is James' last line ever.

GIVE UP ON HERRRRRRRRR

(also, glad his foot seems to be doing better)

i know i probably would have made fun of this scene for being super corny/moving too fast if Tom had said "i love you," but it's perhaps equally funny that he didn't. like, c'mon bro, you can't even muster the L word in this incredibly dramatic and heroic moment?

COPE

oh boy...

y'know, beyond just not having a good time slot in which to do so, i also kinda put off writing these initial thoughts because i just really didn't feel like having to write anything about ONC's choice regarding the winner of the season. everyone online seems to have these really radical opinions-- either saying that this was a brilliantly subversive and poetic choice, or that the entire season (and perhaps even s2 before it) are ruined by the choice to let Riya in. the truth is, i'm incredibly neutral.

on one hand, i'm incredibly disappointed. if you've been keeping up with these initial thoughts throughout the season, or especially my episode-by-episode power rankings, you'll know that i've very firmly believed that Jake was going to be the winner of this season since the beginning of the merge. and it's not because he's my favorite character and i really wanted him to win or anything-- i have a generally favorable opinion on Jake, but it was mostly because i thought that the arcs and messages of the season would be best capped off with a Jake win. therefore, it's saddening to believe that they didn't capitalize on all that potential just for the sake of shock value.

then again, i really appreciate what ONC was trying to do with Riya. i can tell that they must have felt like they had a lot to prove with Riya in DCAS given how mixed her reception was in s2. so, they put in a lot of work to "fix" her character in DCAS, and, on the whole, i think they got a lot better! as much as i was predicting the Jake win, i was also kind of dreading it, just because it was the sort of cheesy, fanservicey ending that could be predicted from a mile away. so i appreciate the boldness to go for an unexpected ending, and the refusal to stagnate in cookie cutter fan-pleasing storylines when your artistic heart is driving you in another direction.

which is why, in the end, i have no strong opinions. i think that the character writing absolutely could have been set up to establish viewer expectations better, but i also don't think that the entire season is unwatchable because Riya wins. the truth of the matter is still that all of the other contestants besides Yul are the real winners of the season, because they made friends and grew as people. if you rewatch the season, you can still see the gang do just that. but the equal truth is that all of the promises those friends made and the goal that drove them to improve might all feel a bit more hopeless with the knowledge that Connor never did get to one-up Riya. People who needed the money more, like Ashley, Alec, or Ellie didn't get a cent of it. and unlike it would be for Jake, who had a lot of connections with a lot of people, many contestants had pretty much no bearing on the winner of the season at all.

i want to believe that the Disventure Camp writing can and will continue to overall get better, but i also can't ignore the obvious signs of growing pains. can't bring myself to get all too mad at them either, though. mostly, i just want to stay out of any drama.

it really shows that Jake hasn't been able to look at social media since the beginning of the show. trust me, buddy, not everyone was rooting for you.

unsurprising that tomjake gets the last kiss of the season/era.

cite your sources, please (/j)

i guess the real person Riya was lying to all along... was herself. *vine boom* because, seriously, how the fuck did she not realize that it wasn't just acting anymore? when she double-broke Connor's foot and tried to make Ally think that Jake lied about being suicidal???

Hey, your blog is a blessing. Do you know any fics where Stiles is a new student/new to Beacon Hills and no one knows him yet? Like a first meeting kind of thing. Preferably Sterek but any ship is fine, really. Thank you!

Hi anon! @kevaaronday made this list just for you!

Lemon & Ginger by kaistrex

(1/1 | 2,520 | Teen | Sterek)

“Is—Is he my—” The word dies in his throat.

“How did you not know?” Laura screeches and Derek feels his hackles rise, defensive.

“Wha—Bu—But he smells good to everyone!”

“Not that good,” Cora scoffs.

“Yeah, not good enough to hump him over it.”

“I didn’t hump—”

“You kinda did,” Stiles agrees, scratching at the back of his head. “Though I can’t say I minded.”

A new tea shop has opened in Beacon Hills, and Laura drags Derek along so he can try the incredible, memory-evoking drinks for himself. He’s soon going back for more, but is it because of the tea, or the owner?

Welcome To Beacon Hills by weirdwithhumour

(1/1 | 5,278 | Teen | Sterek)

The one where Stiles is not from Beacons Hills.

Or human.

How are you so bad at this? By thornconelly

(1/1 | 6,242 | Gen | Sterek)

Stiles moves to Beacon Hills at the start of senior year of high school. Before class even starts, he bumps into a very cute and flirty werewolf who happens to be in almost all of his classes, and who is seemingly TERRIBLE at hiding his werewolfy traits.

California Never Felt Like Home to Me by CharWright5

(1/1 | 31,343 | Explicit | Sterek)

With the Kanima attacking, Hunters stalking him, and the looming threat of the Alpha Pack drawing near, Beacon Hills is no longer the home Derek once felt it had been. So when Boyd and Erica tell him that they're leaving, he joins them, along with Isaac, the Pack running into a ghost from his past as they leave California behind.

They eventually settle in a small town in North Carolina, where Derek finds himself falling for a local barista named Stiles, who shows Derek what "home" can truly mean and that it's okay for the Alpha to want something for himself every once in a while.

The Wonderful Mess We Made by haleonwheels

(12/12 | 34,619 Explicit | Sterek)

Derek is Scott's rude older brother. Scott is Stiles' new best friend. Stiles is in a really hard situation (in more ways than one).

Or the one where Stiles Stilinski moves to Beacon Hills from New York City and immediately befriends Scott McHale. Scott tells Stiles he's an only child--except he really, really isn't. So how was Stiles supposed to know Derek From The Jungle is actually Derek McHale, Scott's older brother that he kept secret for a reason?

Stilinski’s Home For Wayward Wolves by owlpostagain

(1/1 | 35,197| Teen | Sterek)

“At least your puppies knock first,” Stiles snorts. “Here I thought their alpha raised them to be well-mannered.”

“There’s a sign,” Derek responds stiffly.

Stiles, whose curiosity outweighs even his hardest of grudges, abandons his chilly façade of nonchalance in a heartbeat. He jumps right up and all but pushes Derek out of the way in his effort to get to the window, and sure enough when he leans outside there’s a laminated strip of cardstock duct taped to the vinyl siding:

DON’T FORGET TO KNOCK Stiles gets cranky when we scare him

---

Or, in which Stiles Stilinski moves to Beacon Hills for his junior year of high school and accidentally adopts a pack of teenage werewolves.

Pack Immersion: The How to by Stiles Stilinski by Jollyrancher1114

(25/25 | 66,611 | Mature | Sterek)

An AU where Kate didn't set fire to the Hale house and was framed when she tried to save them. Stiles and his pack find her trying to commit suicide and saves her. Kate becomes part of the Alpha Pack.

Oh, thank God. Stiles runs towards the bulking frame ahead of him, yipping in excitement as he throws himself onto the sturdy chest. Aiden growls beneath him, shoving his snout away from his neck. Brooke giggles off to the side and Stiles throws a wink towards her.

“Stiles. What the hell are you doing here?” Aiden hissed. Stiles huffs and raises an eyebrow as best as he can in his fox shift. Someone coughs off to the side and Stiles stiffens when he scents the foreign werewolves. Turning around, he bares his teeth at them only for it to be cut off into a whine when Aiden cuffs his head.

“Why don’t we bring this back to the house? I’m sure my alpha will find this… interesting.” The woman says. The man next to her bores his eyes into him. Stiles shifts uneasily, licking Aiden’s cheek when he picks him up and purposely ignoring the growl that follows. Only then does he see the pendant with a triskele sticking out from the woman’s shirt. Fuck.

What I Did On My Summer Vacation by grimm

(4/4 | 118,749 | Explicit | Sterek)

There's something weird about Beacon Hills that Stiles can't quite put his finger on. The way everyone in town knows his name the day he arrives. The way they insist the melancholic howling that echoes through the forest every night is just a dog. The way his dad denies getting a dog, even though Stiles comes home to find one sprawled across his bed, some big black thing whose eyes gleam red in the right light. The way that massive oak tree out in the woods vibrates under his touch, pulsing with sickly life.

There's something weird going on in this town, and Stiles is determined to get to the bottom of it.

#teen wolf #sterek #stiles stilinski #derek hale #bigbrother!derek #derek and scott siblings #anon #submission

Updates to the Rogue Kids and Their Home Lives, also some Rogue Kids-verse Updates

Firstly, as far as I’m concerned the Rogue Kids-verse is still continuous with @the-mighty-sorceress‘s rogue kids content I’m just updating the current Rogue Kids notes.

As some baseline housekeeping there are some changes to ages and names:

Age Order is now: Ellie (17), Leo (17), Tobi (17), Barbara & Todd (17), Aisling (17), Hunter (17), Lavender (17), Gwen (16), Zeke (16), Dorothy (16), Clover (16), Lizzie (16), Ayah (16), Max (15), Violet (15), Marcus (15), Eva (14), Pluto (14), Aiden (14), Cosette (14), Niall (13), Jeremy (11).

There are a bunch of new full names I will include in an updated stat page when I get the chance.

Most notably a lot of Rogue kids now have two named parents instead of making their non-rogue parents nameless and in the void.

WonderCrow elements were removed, I didn’t think they fit anymore.

Tobi

So, I’ve brought up consistently that Zach adopted Tobi, which he did. Zach was close personal friends with Jae-Min Park, Tobi’s father, and Jae-Min and his wife, Se-Hyeon, named Zach their son, Yi-Seul’s, godfather. However, the year after Yi-Seul was born, there was a break in, and Jae-Min and Se-Hyeon were killed. Tobi’s legal first name is still Yi-Seul, Zach didn’t change it, but he goes by Tobi in public. Zach owns a tattoo parlor and lives over it, which gives Tobi a pretty stable home life, though he does struggle a lot with the loss of his parents, just as Zach struggles with the loss of such a close friend.

Dorothy & Pluto

Dorothy and Pluto live with both their parents, Jonathan and Ophelia. Ophelia is a well-known horror author who draws from both her love of classic gothic literature and the Cree folklore she grew up with. Jonathan, after retiring the Scarecrow, ended up being reinvited to teach at Gotham University–provided he had a relatively clean bill of mental health. Jonathan and Ophelia are raising Dorothy and Pluto in Gotham, and their home life is relatively stable, or as stable as a household with Jonathan in it can get.

Zeke

Zeke’s home life is probably my biggest change, since Harvey no longer has custody of Zeke. Instead, Zeke lives with his mother, Harvey’s ex-fiancee Grace Lamont.�� Zeke kept the name they’d already planned and Harvey is aware of him. Grace is a good parent, a lot of Zeke’s issues stem from Harvey’s inconsistent presence in his life. Harvey…isn’t a great parent. His temper can be explosive and violent, and during periods where Zeke has been in contact with him, they’ve consistently ended with Harvey getting physically abusive. Further, he’s often very critical of Zeke’s appearance. Grace does her best to mitigate Harvey’s effect on her son, and in the current timeline they have a protective order against Harvey, who has broken it multiple times. She and Zeke are extremely close as a result of their shared trauma, and a lot of the retired gallery has gathered to keep them safe.

Eva

Eva lives predominantly with Nora and her stepfather Francis D’Anjou. Victor doesn’t interact with his daughter very closely and in fact avoids Eva and Nora, believing his presence is a dark spot on their otherwise happy life. Francis and Eva have a strained relationship due to Francis’ own hangups about living with the daughter of a Gotham Rogue, but Nora and Eva’s relationship is very good.

Violet

Violet and Max live together still, now with the addition of a mother, Sofia. Max and Sofia both play in an orchestra and Violet is their cherished daughter. Violet’s home life is extremely stable.

Clover & Lavender

Lavender and Clover are plant-human hybrids Pamela created on her own. Pamela works in botany and raises her two children as best she can. Pamela’s parenting is…interesting. She struggles with denying her children of anything, but has a hard time hiding her disapproval. As stable as Lavender and Clover’s lives are, they definitely do rebel a lot more than Pamela thinks they do.

Ayah & Hunter

Ayah and Hunter live predominantly with their mother, Delilah. This isn’t to say she and Waylon are separated, but Waylon keeps his distance from his family, often overworking himself doing odd jobs. Delilah works at Leslie Thompkin’s Clinic as a doctor, and looks after Ayah and Hunter most of the time. Waylon’s distance is a result of Ayah and Hunter inheriting a less severe version of his condition, bearing small scale growths and the reptilian eyes (Ayah also inherited the sharp teeth). No matter how much Delilah loves Waylon and her children, Waylon has deeply ingrained insecurities he can’t let go of.

Aiden & Cosette

So Aiden and Cosette both have surrogate mothers, friends of Garfield and Drury who were willing to give the two chances to be fathers. Drury and Garfield are married and live together with Aiden and Cosette, Drury as an artist and Garfield still at his job with WayneTech. Aiden is on the spectrum, something Drury and Garfield do consistently manage but it can be a struggle especially since they also have to juggle their own mental health. Regardless, Aiden and Cosette are very happy and healthy. They also get to see their mothers, Estelle and Ivette, regularly.

Aisling, Max, & Niall

Lonnie’s three kids all still have different mothers, but only Max ever spent time in the custody of his grandparents. Lonnie was cut off from Aisling and Max until Aisling was fifteen and Max was thirteen, mostly due to the work of his parents. Aisling’s mother, Siobhan, had the wherewithal to not trust Lonnie’s parents with her daughter. Molly, Max’s mother, got very sick when Max was six, and gave Max to his paternal grandparents out of desperation. Aisling’s childhood was fairly happy, but Siobhan had to deal with a lot of harassment from Lonnie’s parents, including repeated CPS calls. Max spent his seven years with his grandparents being repeatedly abused, and Lonnie barely got custody of him back. In that time, Lonnie had youngest, Niall, and married Niall’s mother, Erin. Thanks to the legal battle, Aisling splits her time with Siobhan and Lonnie, but spends most of her time with Siobhan. Max and Niall are primarily in Lonnie’s custody since Molly is unable to care for Max. Lonnie works at WayneTech and works hard to provide for his children. His relationship with Aisling is strained because of his absence in her life, and much of his time with Max is spent trying to mitigate some of the damage done. Erin and Max have a difficult relationship, not that Erin isn’t trying but Max is very close to his mother and has trouble adjusting to the concept that his parents aren’t together. Niall’s childhood was happy, but he’s going through a small case of dethroning, especially with how much time Max and his trauma often take up.

Ellie & Lizzie

Edward and Selina made the decision to retire from Rogue activities when Selina realized she was pregnant with Ellie. They married after Ellie was born and had Lizzie a few years later. Edward does freelance IT, predominantly for WayneTech and Janus Industries, and Selina works at her parents’ cafe with the understanding that she’ll probably take over ownership. Ellie and Lizzie’s home life is stable and Selina and Edward had a lot of support from Selina’s parents early on.

Barbara & Todd

So, Joker is not a fixed presence in Todd and Barbara’s lives, he’s actually not even their legal father. R’as al Ghul’s separation of Joker and Jack still happened in the Rogue Kids-verse, and thus Jack is considered their father by the courts, which pisses off Joker immensely. Jack and Harley own and operate a bakery called Jester’s Sweets and live over the bakery. While Joker makes occasional appearances in their lives and these appearances can be frightening, Joker avoids Jack like the plague and Jack has made a fairly consistent effort to teach Todd and Barbara how to fight back. As an additional note, Todd and Barbara’s names are now more tributes by Jack than jokes by Joker, evidenced further by their middle names: Reagan (Jack’s father) and Jeanne (Jack’s first wife). Aside from Joker’s occasional appearances, Todd and Barbara live a fairly happy life.

Leo

Leo’s mother, Anita, teaches Linguistics at Gotham University. When Leo was little, Angel still did some work in the underground as Bane, but chose to stop for Leo and Anita’s sake. Currently he works at WayneTech (a pattern you’ll see with a lot of retired Rogues). Leo’s home life is fairly stable, though Angel and Anita’s house does serve sometimes as a shelter for vigilantes and rogues alike.

Gwen

Gwen was adopted by Barbara Gordon very early on, specifically because Gwen’s mother, Mary, didn’t trust herself to care for Gwen properly, and Gwen’s father, Jervis, wasn’t allowed to care for her for a myriad of reasons. Barbara makes sure Gwen’s home life is stable and happy, and Mary has some visitation with her daughter. Their relationship is good, but Mary’s more of an aunt than a mother. Gwen’s relationship with Jervis is distant, nearly nonexistent. He returned to Cornwall after a while and now he only sends the occasional card.

Jeremy

Jason’s vigilante work with the Outsiders kind of hits a hiccup when Jeremy becomes a factor in his life, especially since Jeremy’s mother, Valerie, isn’t very keen on raising Jeremy alone (and Jason isn’t about to make her). Jason does make the effort to keep up his vigilante work, and Valerie’s pretty alright with living on the road. I can go into how Jeremy feels about it because it’s not always the coolest continuous roadtrip ever, but the household is stable for a growing boy.

Marcus

Here’s a bit of a complex issue. Marcus does live with his parents, Louise and George, but because both are regularly working abroad, Marcus has spent a lot of time in his grandfather Arnold’s house, which means he has spent a lot of time around Scarface, who realistically should not be in charge of children even slightly. Marcus’ parents didn’t have the knowledge to kneep Marcus away from Arnold until much later, and by then, the damage had already been done to Marcus’ mental health. Louise and George do work to keep Marcus’ life stable, but they remain frequently busy.
