Entry 1: October 1st 2014

According to most of the students in my class, I have "anger issues", none of them would tell me what it meant except for Sabrina Spellman, she said its when someone has trouble processing their anger in a healthy and reasonable way, I am offended by this! I rarely ever get angry and when I do I process it in the healthiest way possible!

Sabrina then said humans (or Nitches as I like to call them) often process their emotions by writing in a diary or journal, which is a stupid thing to do in my opinion, how does writing down ones bad feelings make them feel any better?

The only reason I'm writing in a diary is because I am documenting my life, afterall when I grow up I'm going to be the most powerful warlock in Witch World, and people will want to write biographies on my life story, so instead of wasting my time lingering around them I'll just give them this book for them to read through as reference.

So the first stories I should tell was the times where I was sent to the Nitch world, so far it has happened to me three times, and I have came to a conclusion.... Nitches are the strangest creatures in all of existence.

The first time it happened was when we had the anual school dance. Before this me and Sabrina had been tested, we had to escape the forest full of werewolves and whoever made it out first won, Sabrina made it out first but I'm about 90% sure she cheated so it doesn't count.

Thats when mother showed up, she's the headmistress of our school, for some reason she wants me and Sabrina to get married, I assume its because we're the two most powerful students in school and Sabrina is a princess so when we marry it'll make us king and queen of Witch World. I don't really care for Sabrina, frankly I find her very annoying, but if mother wants me to marry her so be it, I'm sure I'll find a way to deal with it when we are married.

Anyways she wanted us to go to the school dance together, but apparently Sabrina didn't want to go because she had an event taking place in the Nitch world, Sabrina is half Nitch herself and the portal leading to our world from the Nitch world is literally in her home where she lives with her Aunts.

When the dance started Sabrina had left and it was so boring, mostly because there's only six of us attending the school, plus Sabrina had left. The reason there's only six of us is because most witches and warlocks are taught magic at home by their parents or by special tutors, the only reason the other five is sent here is because their parents don't care about them enough to sit them down and teach them how to levitate things and such, but in my case its because its just easier since mother is headmistress and we live in a part of the school anyways.

(Though I'm sure I would be better off taught privately because I'm just too better at everything compared to the other students in class, I'm not saying this to mean I'm just speaking the truth and I'm sick of being taught things that I already know because everyone else is about 8 levels beneath me)

I keep getting ahead of myself, the only person enjoying the dance was mother, she was dancing with this weird servant she has, I don't even know his name despite him being around her all the time, even she isn't sure what type of creature he is. Everyone else was standing around either talking to each other or doing nothing.

I was sitting at one of the tables while my... Friend? Ambrose stood behind me, he was talking to me about stuff but I wasn't paying attention. I suddenly came up with the idea to go to the Nitch world and bring Sabrina to the dance, when I spoke up about this, Ambrose decided to come along, which surprised me as he is actually Sabrina's cousin.

Anyways we made it to the Nitch world, since the portal to our world is in Sabrina's home we found ourselves in there and it was an absolute dragon sty! We soon found our way to Sabrina's other school, there was also a school dance going on there. At the time I was more focused on finding Sabrina to really think about my surroundings, but looking back the Nitches are really odd.

They all dress really boring, I'm not sure how they're able to do things without magic, they listen to really strange music thats nothing like the music we have in our world, they have strange foods such as "fruit punch" (which is something that was at the dance) and they all talk using what Sabrina calls "slang" why can't they talk properly? Is it a thing that comes along with being human or do they do it on purpose for some reason?

Apparently while all of this had happened, Sabrina had accidentally turned one of her Nitch friends into a werewolf, and this is just one of the many reasons to I am confused she is nearly on the same level on magic as I am if she keeps doing stuff like this!

Ambrose ran off with one of Sabrina's nitch friends while I went off looking for her, thats when I found her trying to contain that werewolf, she was lucky I showed up because I'm sure without me she would've been torn to shreds.

I can't remember exactly what happened but I tried to use magic to send Sabrina back to Witch World but it didn't work for some reason, I was then cornered by the werewolf but then Sabrina came back and got it away from me, while I am a LITTLE BIT thankful Sabrina did this, I would not say she saved me because if she didn't show up I probably would've handled that werewolf myself.

After that Sabrina had the audacity to send ME back to the Witch World! Luckily I was not scared but just very annoyed.

The next day Ambrose got in a lot of trouble with Professor Geist because he had apparently spent the whole night in the Nitch world partying with Sabrina's friends and was late for class.

The second time was when a sickness went around the school, in the Nitch world this is called a "cold" and their the symptoms include sneezing, feeling tired all the time, feeling ache in the throat, and coughing, but in Witch World the symptoms were a bit more extreme.

I remember everyone, including mother, kept sneezing up chickens and weird green spots appeared on their faces, luckily this never happened with me but I think thats because I am the most healthy person at school.

Mother made me and Sabrina go to Nitch world to see what could've caused this, even Sabrina's aunts were starting to get this cold too. We headed to Sabrina's school and I pretended to be a new student there, unlike the previous time I was able to interact more with Sabrina's Nitch friends.

I honestly felt a bit like a black sheep, while everyone was dressed in those regular boring Nitch clothes (including Sabrina) I was dressed in my favourite warlock robes, and I think I was the only one with dark blue and spiky hair.

I met two of Sabrina's friend, the first one being Jim, I couldn't really tell what his personality was, he seemed really bland in my opinion I don't get why Sabrina likes being friends with him. The second friend of hers was Amy, who was more interesting than Jim but she made me extremely uncomfortable, she pulled Sabrina aside and whispered to her, except she whispered so loudly I could hear her.

She said something like "Your friend is kind of cute...". What?! This was really strange, she had only just met me, we had barely spoken many words and she thought I was cute?! Plus I am not cute, I am handsome! The word cute should be used to describe things like Sabrina's pet cat Salem, not me!,

Long story short we found the cause of the cold was Sabrina's dirty nitch school locker because of course it was, Sabrina's aunts used it to make a tea that cured the cold (it actually tasted really nice) and we gave it to everyone at school, hooray the day is saved, whatever.

And the third and final time was when my classmate Veralupa accidentally turned me into Sabrina's broomstick (which turns into a pink scooter in the nitch world), this was because Veralupa's wand was backwards but she was too stupid to realise this before Sabrina said "Sorry but I'm in a hurry" and road me back to the nitch world where I then turned into the pink scooter, despite the fact she knew I had been turned into it!

According to Sabrina, delivering food from her aunts bakery to other nitches is more important than my wellbeing.... Well she never said that but she implied it!

After a while I decided to run away (well I suppose drive away, because scooters can't really run) but that "city" Sabrina lives in is so big I couldn't find my way back to the portal, thats when I drove into a woman who works at Sabrina's school.

I don't know her name but what I do know is that she is suspicious of Sabrina, I don't think she knows she is a witch but she definitely knows there's something off about her, again I don't get why Sabrina is so high up in magic levels when she's so careless as to nitches being suspicious of her and turning her nitch friends into big hairy monsters!

I think me talking despite being a scooter just added to the fuel of this woman being suspicious of Sabrina, I sort of regret talking to her because suddenly she was riding on top of me where she took me to Sabrina's school, she was sort of taunting Sabrina because I was her "proof" that something was off with Sabrina, but since I decided to not speak again everyone around her thought she was crazy.

Thats when finally! Sabrina took me back to the portal and we made it back to Witch World where that fool Veralupa finally figured out her wand was working weirdly because it was backwards, she turned me back to my normal self, she had also turned Ambrose into a hairy creature while I was gone

(Seriously, what is with my classmates and turning their friends into hairy creatures?!)

I had originally planned to tell my mother about this incident so Sabrina would get into trouble, but by the end of it I just wanted to forget it ever happened, I'm only writing it down here because I want this told in my future biographies so everyone knows how silly Sabrina and my other classmates are.

Using these three experiences, I have come to the conclusion that nitches are very very strange, they wear such boring clothing, they whisper things loudly so people they don't want to hear it can hear it, the schools they go to have about a billion students and the school buildings are often times small, some of them are super bland and despite this people like them, they think people are "cute" despite meeting them then and there, some of them are aware or at the very least coming close to being aware of the Witch World but most other humans think those types are crazy, and they make their "cities" so big and complicated to navigate.

I have no idea why Sabrina enjoys it there and I can certainly see why mother wants her to live in the Witch World permanently, not only will it make our marriage easier but also I think it'll just be better for her wellbeing considering she has to go to the school in that world and the school in this world. If I was Sabrina I'd only ever go to the Nitch world to visit my aunts and I'd only ever stay in their bakery.

Soon I need to go to sleep, so I will leave this first entry here. And I promise to write more meaningful things in the future.

5th November 2014

I have not written anything for a month now, I have not been lazy, its just that not anything worth of documenting has taken place since my first entry, just regular school stuff and the occasional classmates getting on my nerves.

However, 6 days ago something happened that I think may have been worth writing, even though its not really important.

So, as I have mentioned my classmate Sabrina Spellman is half nitch and she lives in the human world, now in the human world witches and warlocks aren't believed to be "real" (well at the very least most of them don't) however they do often appear in human fiction, such as this stage musical called "Wicked" about a witch named Elphaba.

Now I had no idea of this musicals existence until about a week before this incident took place, Sabrina was telling some of the other classmates about it, apparently she had went to go see it with her human friends the previous year and enjoyed it so much that she was going to see it again on All Hallows Eve and planned to bring the whole class! Which includes me.

For some reason Sabrina always manages to surprise me, and I don't know how, its like she just knows everything that goes on in my head, meaning she knows everything that I do not expect, and then she goes on to do said things that I do not expect, and frankly its quite frightening. That day she surprised me by saying she had a ticket for me to see this musical.

Why would she want to bring me? I mean, I know thats a trick question, because once I graduate and become the most powerful warlock in this world everyone would take their chances going after the Ice Giant with nothing but a useless stick at the opportunity to take me with them to a musical. But why now? Like I've previously mentioned, my classmates don't really seem to like me very much, not that I care, its pretty obvious they're just jealous of me, but considering Sabrina is basically the only person in school who could rival my magic skills, why would she of all people want to bring me to this musical?

I wouldn't be too surprised if it was Ambrose doing so, maybe I'd only be a little bit shocked if it was Zanda or Wanda, hell maybe it would even make a bit more since if it was Veralupa! But Sabrina? Why? Why would she invite me to this musical? Maybe she didn't want me feeling left out? I mean the class has done things without me before, and again, I don't care when they do so. Maybe she was planning to give the ticket to someone else but they couldn't make it and since she didn't want to waste the ticket she decided to give it to me?

That wouldn't make much sense either. Who in the witch world would she give it to anyways? The only 3 other people in school are Professor Geist, my mother and that weird green thing that works for my mother, and I can't see her inviting them to anything, especially something taking place in the human world, in fact I'm sure everyone in the class wasn't even going to tell their parents about going to the human world to see this musical, they all just lied and said they were having a sleepover at each others houses or something.

Maybe she was planning to bring her aunts? Then that means either 2 things. A, Sabrina had enough tickets for the whole class plus for her Aunts and herself, meaning she'd have about 9 tickets, her Aunts cancelled, leaving her with 2 extra tickets, she'd give one of them to me, but what would she do with the other one? Or B, she was originally planning to bring her Aunts and her human friends again, but they all cancelled for some reason, leaving her with enough tickets for the whole class. I may be thinking too much into this.

But you have to understand me and Sabrina's relationship, why, even if someone cancelled on her and she had an extra ticket, would she choose me? Apparently humans can sell tickets "online" (whatever that means), why didn't she just do that? I do not understand.

Anyways, originally I refused to go, and the first thing I did after school ended was go straight to my mother to tell her about the classes little plan to sneak off to the human world for All Hallows Eve to watch that musical. Instead of immediately contacting everyone's parents like I expected, considering she absolutely hates humans, she smiled, seemingly happy that Sabrina had invited me.

Like I mentioned before, my mother is obsessed with the idea of me and Sabrina being a couple, and she apparently saw her inviting me to this musical as her inviting me on a date, even though 4 other people were coming along with us, including her cousin Ambrose, wouldn't it be humiliating going on a date with someone but your cousin was there with you at all times?! But thats not really something my mother understood.

Mother decided she'd make an exception this one time and wouldn't be contacting everyone's parents, and that she'd just pretend she heard nothing, with the added fact that I HAD TO go to this musical, or else she'd take away my magic jewellery collection for a month. I was so angry, the one time I actually needed my mother to hate human world like she always does, she makes an exception for it just so I could go on this "date" with Sabrina!

I was so angry, but I didn't want my jewellery collection taken away again, so I sighed and said I would go.

When I actually did go to see the musical, it was a lot better than I thought it would be. You see, I'm not very fond of music from the human world, I haven't listened to much of it, but from the music Sabrina has showed us in the past.... I didn't like that at all, especially the boy band stuff. But the songs in this were quite good, I especially liked that song about "defying gravity" as if it was such a big thing, even though us witches and warlocks do that everyday.

And it was quite interesting to see how humans think witches are like, as in it isn't too off from reality but at the same time it isn't accurate, for example, never in my life have I met a witch with green skin like the witch in the musical. Apparently a lot of witches in human pop culture have green skin, which isn't accurate at all, us witches and warlocks have the same skin tones humans do, none of us are green.

I actually sort of related to Elphaba the witch, I know what its like being called "wicked" and treated like a villain when I'm not. Also apparently this musical is a prequel to a book known as the Wizard of Oz, which explained a few parts where I was confused about some things, it would've been nice if Sabrina had told us about this beforehand!

Anyways, when the show was over, I didn't really talk to anyone, because what I had just seen was still processing in my head, the story, the acting, the songs, was all still going through my head, but everyone else didn't seem to be like that, they were all talking about how good it was, they were all very chatty actually.

Again, not really an important part of my life, but it was interesting to see the actual good of human world stories, as most of I've heard are either terrible or make zero sense or both, such as that "Twilight" thing Sabrina told me about, how hard is it for this girl to choose between a vampire and werewolf? The obvious answer should be the vampire, because if there's anything I've learned from my half werewolf classmate Veralupa, its that werewolves will always shed their hair all over, and thats not something I think many people would want.

BGM: Bob Dylan "World Gone Wrong"

I met a leader of the group home. I gave him the money for various payments. He and his staff helped me a lot this year as usual (really thankful for that). I passed the money and got shocked because it was really tiny. Yes, I'm poor. How can the next year be? After that, I learned that the next book of Shinji Aoyama's "Turtle in Takaraga Ike never sinks" so I sent a LINE message to the leader if I can buy it. We decided that I send LINE messages if I find the book I want. He said that we can think about it after I will get the extra money as a "bonus". But "bonus" will be given to me?

I read Asa Itoh and Takao Murase's "Dementia and Altruism". This is based on the letters these two authors sent to each other, and it becomes an interesting one that describes the real estate of this highly aged society. They try to think about the reality of aged people who need help by using the word "Dementia" as a trigger, and also describe how this world is. Aged people with blurred minds are not impossible completely to understand, but they must have their egos and personalities to live in this world (yes, this is really a clear fact but I must admit that I often forget it). So they try to write and seek about how to live with these aged people together peacefully.

I am an autistic person so often think that it is impossible to understand myself. Like Arthur Rimbaud, do we think about ourselves as "I am the other"? Touching that kind of "otherness" of ourselves is as same as touching the "enigma" of this world therefore we can touch how this world is profound. I remember the movie reviews by Shinji Miyadai, a famous intellectual in Japan. Miyadai was the person who tried to discuss the "enigma" of our world and lives through various movies such as Shunji Iwai's, and tried to approach the real estate of this world (at least, for me). How does he read this book?

This evening, I had time so read Shinji Aoyama's that book (at last). Aoyama was a famous Japanese director and it is his diary. I was impressed because he had tried to "watch" various media. Movies, dramas, music... I listened to Bob Dylan's masterpieces like his and learned that he must have an "anachronic" and keen eyes as a point of view to understand this world. He was never a snob, a fashionable person who must be liked by "cinephiles". I missed him as an important person... but you don't say to me that "everyone is important". R.I.P.

[ineffable-opinions]

Love In the Air is getting a Japanese adaptation.

Things have come a full circle for MeMindY in a way. It was while traveling through Japan in November 2018 that MAME decided to start a production house to film series based on her novel in her own way.

Looks like it is a fan project of sorts based on what creators has to say on the project website, so it makes sense that it is MeMindY’s project that gets Japanese adaptation. (If not, it would have been GMMTV, BOC or some other government-supported production company that engaged in Thai government’s Commerce Ministry department facilitated “BL as soft power” negotiations with their Japanese counterparts.

more on this here)

This adaptation is not surprising considering the crowd that showed up at MAME’s Japanese fan-meet consisted of older folk too. It reminds me of Chen Hao producing Stay with Me. While I would be happy to have more bottom-up, demand-driven productions rather than top-down, supply-driven ones, it makes me worried too. I had previously expressed my wish for popular BL manga and novels to get live action adaptation. Now, we have a handful of live action based on works that have won Chil-chil awards but those adaptations have been disappointing to say the least.

source

I am a little worried about production quality. Hopefully, they’ll manage to balance cost and quality since this project’s return on investment would be a signal to future initiatives. I am excited for Shoma who gave an excellent performance in the unfortunately gelded adaptation of the super-popular manga 25 Ji, Akasaka de. I am eager to know who will play Saifah (hopefully they'll retain that character) and Chai.

My Insane Wishlist: Non-Thai adaptation of MAME’s BL

Breath – Japanese live action adaptation TulHin was one of the side couples in Love by Chance 2 but I want an adaptation that stays true to the spirit of their story. In addition, it will be really nice to see Hin in violet rope shibari in the hotel getaway scene. All the shibari scenes we got so far in live action BL has been fleeting and of very little consequence. Japan should attempt adapting this into period piece set in Taisho or early Showa era. The novel is well suited for an adaptation set in that period with rapidly changing position of the aristocracy in the society, conflict between old and new orders, nouveau riche industrialists, feudal households with retainers performing multiple functions, specific forms of xenophobia, grand balls, arranged marriages, intergenerational power struggle, familism and ample space for intrigue. Also, Japan has a good track record of being sincere in their depiction of complexities of androphilic male x androphilic female interactions – they can make Tul's struggle heart-wrenching to watch.  

OatShin from Test Love and OatShin Diary – Tamil-Marathi bilingual movie adaptation with Harshvardhan Rane as Shin, Arjun Das as Oat and Suriya as Akira (Shin's cousin brother). In the novel Love Storm from which Love in the Air is adapted, it is Oat and not Prapai who is the best street racer in their circuit. Saifah, Oat and Saifah's girlfriend are in fact friends and classmates from college - depicted in Test Love. Oat's boyfriend Shinji was his junior in college. Shin is friends with characters from Love By Chance. Their relationship starts at the end of Test Love and in OatShin Diaries we get to see them navigate long distance relationship, familial acceptance and work-life balance as salarymen. OatShin has a very cute dynamic - they are a riba CP (reversible couple) with a lot of push and pull. Shin is super sly and sensitive and I can see Harshvardhan teasing the hell out of whoever he is paired with. Arjun Das probably can't do racer very well - so just get him that ATV from Por for added illegality. He would be perfect as Oat and very adorable too.

Try Me: Chai Win – Japanese manga adaptation with minimal censor bars – Chai’s pearlings needs to exist in 2D version.

Try Me: Chai Win – Turkish live action adaptation – I think Pawit-bey has a nice ring to it and I would pay to listen to it for 40 episodes of 2-hour length each. Maybe some over the top honorifics would be more suitable coming from Chai’s mouth like efendi. Mert Yazicioglu or Ali Yagci as Win and Can Yaman as Chai.

Chai appeared in Love in the Air as a crucial minor character who comes to Phayu's rescue. He has a love story of his own with Pakin's civilian* cousin brother, Pawit aka Win, that is complicated by duty and obligations and extortive meddling by Pakin's dad (the kingpin).
