#tharntype2

[manogirl]

TharnType 2 is an execrable piece of garbage, but whoa my god I forgot how absolutely breaktakingly beautiful Mew is in it. He’s just...more gorgeous than season 1 and I don’t know how but he is.

Hello! Do you track actors who switch from Seme to Uke roles in different series, or vice versa? If so, question: In Chains of Heart (which I can't believe I was able to get through), Haii plays Ken, who I'm assuming is the Uke. He was a (tsundere?) Seme in TharnType 2, no? And his partner on screen there, Title, wasn't he just playing a Seme as Ana's ex in Future, different from his childlike Uke in TharnType2? Did they both switch roles in different series or did I just get that all wrong (very possible). How common is this besides the guy from Advance Bravely?

Actors who have played both seme & uke in BL?

I don't really track it but I do find it unique and interesting. Lemme scrape the brain meats.

You are right they are really rare but Thailand is making inroads as they move off of an obsession with height discrepancy, so there are more than you think.

This is what I got off the top of my head:

Gong Jun - Advance Bravely (U) & Word of Honor (S)

Ba Vinh - Love Bill (U) & Mr Cinderella (U?) vs every other of his 1000 series (S) - thanks @squeakygeeky

Tay Tawan - Dark Blue Kiss (S) & 3 Will Be Free (U)

Haii Sarunsathorn - TharnType 2 (S) & Chains of Heart (U)

Title Tanatorn - TharnType 2 (U) & Future (S)

Marc Pahun - My Gear and Your Gown (S) & Chains of Heart (U), also played a BL side role in 3 BLs airing at the same time.

White Nawat - Love Sick (S) & Theory of Love (U)

Nammon Krittanai - SOTUS S (U) & Work From Heart (S)

Singto Prachaya - SOTUS (S) & Paint with Love (U)

Yacht Patsit - Between Us (S) & Paint with Love (U)

Mark Siwat - Love By Chance (S) & Bite Me (U)

Fiat Patchata - SOTUS S (U) & My Gear and Your Gown (S)

Han Gi Chan - Where Your Eyes Linger (U) & Ocean Likes Me (S)

Haii & Title are the only ones I know of who are a pair both of whom also played opposite archetypes.

Aun Napat shifts from seme to uke in the course of My Gear and Your Gown. Arguably.

A case could be made?

First Kanaphan - depends how you look at Not Me and Shipper

Fluke Gawin - depends on how you look at Not Me and Dark Blue Kiss

Khaotung Thanawat - Tonhon Chonlatee (U) & The Eclipse (S, but it's not really a S/u show)

Max Nattapol (YES of MaxTul) - Bangkok Love Stories 2: Innocence (U... maybe?) & Manner of Death (S)

Ja Phachara - UWMA (U, but it's unclear) & Don't Say No (S)

similarly, Na Naphat - UWMA (S, but unclear) & KinnPorsche (U) & forthcoming BL Wish Me Luck (S)

In that one Na will be opposite Fiat (above), at which point they will be part of the elite club of pair switches with Haii & Title.

I honestly can't remember which role Phuwin played opposite Neo in My Tee, and I'm NOT rewatching it to remind myself.

If anyone has any more to rec please do. I know I am missing some more obscure ones.

Oh right and this man, of course.

All hail the king. (Bah Vinh has been in like every Vietnamese BL, including one where he played a straight guy side.) He usually plays the seme roles but in Mr Cinderella he was not quite.

@lakornladies​ first event: favorite female character

↳ ♡ THANYA -- THARNTYPE ♡

[heretherebedork]

Name this Trope:

Kurosawa, Sarawat, Tann, Mork, Nubsib, Un, Pha, Wayo, Third, Mek, Boss, Tonhon, Chonlatee, Korn (TWM), Xia De (HIStory 3)

It's my favorite trope of all time! Pining! Oh, pining boys, how I love thee!

Just let me add my favorite here, Gun from Tossara, because his pining is also pretty fantastic.

Also Shan Wei and his 10000 years of pining.

Ah, what beauty is pining, how glorious to be in love and yet to wait, to watch.

Oh, also Gao Shi De, of course.

Leo and Fiat! Oh, mutual pining. My personal favorite. So rare and so good.

Oooo and Chris in Second Chance!! He's doing an A+ job finally expressing his giant useless crush on Jenn.

I love pining. Favorite trope!!

Ok but when Fiat said “I DO ALL THIS BECAUSE OF YOU!” IT HIT HARD 😭😭

Metonymy in BL

There’s a Gothic literary trope (in the original sense of the word trope) purportedly originating in the 18th century European romantics, called 

metonymy 

“Metonymy is a subtype of metaphor, in which something (like rain) is used to stand for (or model/represent) something else (like sorrow).”

These days it’s less common in genre books than it is in the film industry, which loves to use metonymy as a shorthand, for example:

the dark grittiness of noir settings reflecting the personality of the main detective character (see Blade Runner),

or the way a messy room reflects an unstable emotional state (see Cherry Magic)

or the way it often rains during scenes of parting (The Untamed) or at a funeral.

or the sunrise in the background at the dawn of new love or beginning fo a new relationship stage (ITSAY) 

similarly sunset when a relationship is coming to and end or coming to its ultimate conclusion

In other words, when someone is sad, the setting reflects this with rain. When someone is happy, with sunshine. And so forth.

A classic example is “The Fall of the House of Usher" a short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, in which the titular house is cracking and crumbling down, moldy and decayed, because of the moral turpitude of the house’s owner. This is also a foreshadow of the horrors that are about to unfold.

In BL metonymy is used a lot.
