****Late to the party because I managed to fail my driver's licence test, so I'm going to cheer myself up and binge-watch the series on my list 😔****

Me watching Only Friends Ep. 8:

1. Based on the preview, this episode's title (Save Me) seems very apt to what is about to happen.

2. Cheum looked like she swallowed a lemon, but I guess her concerns are nothing compared to what is Sand's feeling as Mew and Ray grind drunk on the dance floor 😔. After all, the shittiest feeling is knowing exactly what is causing your heartache, but are powerless to do anything about it - except walking away that is.

3. Ray admitting he is so "damn happy" when he is with Sand, but still thinking that Mew is the one he loves is so frustrating. I want to reach out and shake this baby boy hard to see some sense. 😤😤😤

4. Wait, why are Yo and Plug fighting??? I thought they were already lovers? <after five seconds> Oh. Oh. Yo, if you are not ready for a relationship, then you should have never started at all. I'm with Plug on this one. 😔 Sidenote: P'Jenny's silent tears in this scene is heartbreaking. 😭😭😭

5. It looks like Mew will be losing everything he worked hard for if he doesn't stop his downward spiral. Although, I'm not sure if Top is the one who can save him. Truthfully, I just want these boys to be able to save themselves.

6. Okay, so at least it looks like Top's intentions are good. Unless he is lying to Cheum (about not caring if Mew comes back to him or not, as long as they save him), I guess there's a glimmer of hope for this character.

7. Gosh, Papang is simply everywhere. Does not matter whether it's BL, comedy, thriller, or your garden-variety lakorn. Papang must be the most tired actor in GMMTV for 2023 😂

8. It sure looks like Nick was summoned, not only for his tech skills, but also to become his senior's next boyfie 😅

9. "If licking your a** can get me this job, I will do it". ~ Nick

Oh. My. Gawd. I do think Papang's character will literally take you up on that offer, Nick. 🫣🫣🫣

10. Oh, at last, Title is here. I have been wondering about his role for this series.

11. Ngl. I just want to slap both Mew and Ray. It is pretty obvious how they are forcing themselves to look like they are having fun with each other's company. My head hurts just by looking at these kids.

12. Oh, Nick. Listen to Sand. STOP MOVING IN CIRCLES!!! BOSTON AIN'T WORTH IT. 😑😑😑

13. Ray, make up your damn mind. Either you love Mew or you want Sand. Pick an effing lane. Good for Sand for shutting that sh*t down.

14. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Atom (Title) and Cheum are siblings??? And Atom is interested in Boston? And if Boston take Atom up on his offer? What then??? Wtf will happen?

15. Sand still worrying about Ray despite everything is just depressingly sad.

Still not convinced that leopards (Top) can truly changed their spots. Looks like Sand will not be able to stay away from Ray. And Boston literally screwing Cheum's lil bro will definitely not go well. Gods, now I'm even more depressed after watching this episode lol. 😅

I feel like if it were the canon sae in bl, the story of priceless would end so fast lol bc he would for sure tell bianca to fuck off when she tried to imply that she doesn't want to see anyone else with him even after he made it clear that he doesn't return her feelings. this is the guy who ruthlessly dismisses anyone who doesn't hold him interests for more than a few seconds (see the jfa association director and that poor interviewer). he's the chief commander of the idgaf war. if he doesn't care, he doesn't care. man is his own boss and can't careless abt your feelings imo. But I understand that the sae in your fic is your personal interpretation of him. Since this sae is an adult, you can say that time has mellowed him out and allowed him to communicate with others without insulting or offending their existence.

Unlike rin, sae is very independent, individualistic and very sure of himself so I personally think his situation in priceless is what occurs when he doesn't act assertively and set boundaries, so he and bianca happens. as long as he doesn't put his foot down and be firm with her, i don't think bianca will just stay put and watch her boy crush get taken away from her. unless she wises up, i feel like a bloodbath is bound to happen. thoughts and prayers for yn.

haha yes this is definitely my take on him like, around 8 years at least after where the current manga is at :) i thought he might grow a little with media training and whatnot since he’s not that young anymore (even if he’s already 19 in the current manga stage haha). but honestly even if he said fuck bianca … priceless would still be a little long because /spoilers can’t say/ hahah i will say, the end result does not hinge on bianca’s presence :’)

but you’re right in that he wasn’t assertive enough - i think he personally tried his best to talk it out with bianca (considering that he thinks of her as a friend and she’s outside of that “just sports” circle, if that makes sense) but yeah that would’ve gone a lot different if he was his current younger self at 18/19. probably would’ve chewed her out for trying to control who can talk to him :’) he put his foot down gently in that extra, but now that he actually has a reason, you can bet he won’t be as gentle. his reaction depends on bianca’s though so heh & yn … i’m not worried for my girl (cries sobbing throwing up) </3

I've watched till ep 4 of Love Tractor and omg What Is This?? I can't believe I waited this long to watch it. mg Love Tractor, baby, ily ily ily.

This is so silly yet gosh-

It's like 3 am and I'm cackling madly in my room. Pretty sure my cat is convinced I've finally gone bonkers. (she's giving me a look of concern and annoyance cause I woke her up lmao)

So, ep 1. If I hadn't seen some spoilers on tumblr and knew for a Fact that this is a ql show, I'd be Sure that the Guy Who Came Up At Night was a killer. (Also, when are we getting a murder mystery/thriller ql from Korea? With explicit queerness this time? I'm looking at you Mouse, Beyond Evil.) And the cinematography!! Is!! Beautiful!! Is it gonna be same for the rest of the show?

Guy goes to live alone in a remote countryside where his car breaks down on rainy night. A suspicious stranger comes to help him. Weird chains (mind automatically goes to VegasPete). A cute dog (first victim?).

Except this is a bl, unless?

Ep 2. Prickly city guy feels Deeply Uncomfortable upon learning that friendly people aren't fictional unicorns, they exist. Also dude, just drop the honorifics. Yechan is begging you. (Is Yechan's mum trying to set him up for a date????) The GOAT.

I have an urge to drop out of uni and run away to the countryside too. Except every single of my relatives were born and brought up in the city. Pain. Should I just go poking my frnds??

Ep 3. We Learn Empathy and Love. (Don't waste that drinkkk. Side note- is that drink korean rice wine??) Joohee my darling. Yul isn't wrong per se but he needs to learn to be Less Prickly. Why did he faint tho? How medically accurate is this? (not that I'm desperate for medica accuracy in my bls, hell, they can have wings n stuff and I'd be ok, but it'd be nice to know)

Also I want that jam. Looks so yummm. I wanna run to the country noww. (Except it's monsoon in here and everything is so. muddy.)

Why does everything in this show look so delish? I just had dinner and yet-

Ep 4. OMG.

Nagging parent vibes but instead of parent make it ppl-who-have-an-unacknowledged-crush. WHAT IS THAT YECHAN. I know he's a caretaker through and through—he takes care of Everyone in the community as well as visitors, but let me scream ok. (My cat just left the room Too annoyed lmao)

Just Stay Still.

My mind is a horrible, horrible place. I blame years of readings fics

in my defence, I think SeonYul is also thinking. Things.

Blow your nose

I'm dead.

Trying To Cut Your Hair (and making you look like a clown on purpose) vibes. Except Yechan does it in good faith. And SeonYul doesn't look like the clown. He looks very resigned tho. Suffering.

Do You want me to brush your teeth.

No, Yechan, i don't think he wants to. Also Yechan.... too kind.

The people at the beds next to them tho. I'd be thriving on the drama if it was me in that ward XD

Yechan needs to be protected at all costs. No one hurt him or you're gonna catch this hands. (Looking at you, SeonYul)

Ok, no, SeonYul is out of danger for now. Such a soft moment ueueueue

SeonYul's walls are high af. I'm blaming the father for now, but let's see.

Gonna end it here cause I *do* need to sleep. What a pity that I'm not a vampire :')

So like, very genuinely this wasn't mean to be a Discourse Post™ lol I just thought it was sad as fuck the someone felt the need to call themselves a "cursed fan" b/c general fandom consensus around Mame and her work is so thoroughly judgmental, hostile, and crosses lines into either cruel dismissal and judgement of fans who enjoy Me Mind Y's various shows, and/or outright micro-aggressive misogyny towards Mame themselves.

I'm not talking about a singular experience here, I'm talking about a repeated historic fandom trend that picks and chooses "bad guys" and "good guys" based on a moral denoted standard of their work. And as such, denotes fans who enjoy that work "morally incorrect" as well and feeling justified in the harassment of both the creator(s) and said fans.

And I don't play that shit lol

Here's an example, Mame often gets the "straight woman profiting off gay men" accusation whether it's valid or not - as we don't know how Mame identifies - but Sammon, probably the other most visible woman in Thai BL, does not.

Why?

Neither Manner of Death nor Triage - DFF she helped co-write - are without flaws or issues of by-the-by consent. Yet she doesn't get the same "warnings" that Mame gets to new BL fans, nor the same vitriol and fans of Triage or Manner of Death don't get harassed, talked down to, or told they can't "tell fiction from reality".

I'm talking about real things I have read with my own eyes in fandom about Mame or towards fans of Tharntype.

There's plenty of other examples: Lin Pei Yu (History Obsessed, History 2 Crossing the Line, History 3 Trapped, We Best Love, Kiseki Dear to Me), Afterday (original creator of Bad Buddy, and My Only 12%), hell the vice-president of GMMTV is a woman meaning like she has a hand in a ton of GMMTV's BLs and would arguably have as much as or more creative decision making power at GMMTV as Mame does at MMY.

So like, again, why only Mame? The hypocrisy of it all is something that bothers me in regards to Mame and by extension Tharntype - I have no opinion on Love by Chance I didn't watch it and am to lazy to bother so hate on love, hate on - b/c plenty of other BLs are just as bad or worse or have similar issues.

Like, Vegas kidnaps and tortures Pete lol while Kinn and Porsche first sexual encounter is dub-con at best; arguably either of those relationships are is far far "worse" than Tharn and Type's. Yet it's undeniable how popular Kinnporsche is as a show and how popular those two couples are.

In Lovely Writer - a show that thoroughly frustrates me as it's poorly done middle of the road satire and full of hypocrisy - has one protagonist lie and force his way into the life of the other lead chars life completely with false pretenses, who has showcased only discomfort around him, all because of the forgotten childhood sweethearts trope.

Not to mention making the only out gay actor (Bruce) play the evil gay char trope - why is that char creepy for pursuing the Writer but the Actor Lead isn't also creepy for pursuing the same man under thoroughly false pretenses and clear discomfort? - but I have no qualms about people liking Lovely Writer or UWMA or 1000 Stars or whatever. Truly I do. not. care.

I don't think people are "wrong" or "morally bankrupt" if they like any of the shows or films I don't like - unless it's Star Trek Into Darkness in which case you ARE in fact wrong sorry chepies.

Like the lack of nuance, the pervasive micro-aggressions towards Mame, the condescension towards fans of Tharntype or other Mame shows, it's all so fucking boring and dull and hypocritical.

And I just don't fuck with it, hot take cinco

Okay, you've been relogging TharnType gifs (which I appreciate as one of the cursed TharnType's enjoyers, sue me) but where are the hot takes? Where's the meta?! Pikachu, speak, please!

Anon what's this cursed business I enjoy tharntype without shame I don't gaf what the discourse says the show is a bodice ripper mess with some truly genuinely well done char development especially for Thai BLs in 2019/2020

I'd rather watch tharntype again than 2gether or 1000 Stars I said what I said bake that hot take in your pie Ms Lovett

Speaking of tharntype tho I saw this twitter thread talking about it and was like yeah ppl ARE weird about tharntype and some of that weirdness is understandable and some of that weirdness is sus as fuck hot take dos putas

tell me I'm doing "doing being queer wrong" b/c I like some dumbass soap yaoi like baby go outside, knit some mittens for some kittens at least Type has an actual char arc unlike a ton of squeecore BL protagonists hot take tres chepies

look if ppl don't like tharntype idc y'all do you I don't like a lot of popular BLs - wait till the episode on Until We Meet Again drops on the pod lmaoooo - I even GET why ppl don't like the show and I think some of the critiques are valid but god damn some ppl be WEIRD about the show and Mame to the extreme l

ike jfc I saw someone call Mame a bigot for tharntype - but the dude director of the series got absolved he was gucci lol - some of the weirdness just feels less about genuine critique and more Christian rebranded moral high groundness and I have no time for that hot take cuatro

Anyway pour one out for Techno he was the one really suffering in Tharntype my little dude, my funny man, my ever suffering dude
