Other news from the BL world

❗️ The production company Studio WabiSabi announced that their actors Boun N., Prem W., Santa P., Sammy C., Yacht P. and Stamp P. have terminated their contracts and will no longer be artists under the company on April 15th. Shortly after, GMMTV announced the 6 of them as newly signed artists, along with the disclosure that BounPrem's upcoming BL Vampire Project is now being produced under GMMTV, who now also own all broadcasting rights; WabiSabi will function as a co-producer. New S. stated on Twitter that the decisions had been long in the making, as well as the fact that WabiSabi no longer functions as a management agency for actors and is now a mere production company. He also denied the rumors that the company is shutting down. Shortly after the transfer of the Wabi Sabi actors, actor Fluke Jeeratch (formerly Pongsakorn) joined GMMTV as well.

❗️ The Filipino BL Gameboys is getting a third season. An air date has not been confirmed.

❗️ P Ekkapop and Pan Jirachot, the lead actors from Kiseki Chapter 2, have announced a new project together. Details are unknown.

❗️ Actor Barcode Tinnasit has announced his departure from his agency Be On Cloud.

❗️ After some confusion, the Korean production company Studio X+U announced that their upcoming series Fragile - which was initially advertized as a Korean SKAM remake - is in fact not connected to the Norwegian web series and is instead a standalone series, which focuses on the life of a group of teenagers. According to ZUM News, there was supposed to be a Korean SKAM remake based on the Norwegian original, which was however cancelled due to unknown reasons. Fragile was created as a substitution.

Pokemon/WarioWare crossover because why not throw yet another Anime Rewrite AU that I say I'll write a fic for and fully intend to but never do on the pile? (i have issues...)

Five years before the start of the series Delia and Ash find a girl around Ash's age with red eyes lost in a park who can't remember anything about herself except that her name is Ashley. Fallers are a bit more common in this timeline than others (though still pretty rare and not yet well understood) so when the authorities investigate they realize her situation pretty quickly...particularly how near-impossible it would be to get a 5-year-old who seems to be from a world without Pokemon (Fallers typically remember what Pokemon are and can name ones they're familiar with, so the fact that she only refers to them by general terms like "cat" or "bird" and is confused by a lot of their behavior is very telling). Delia, of course, agrees to take her in permanently after they break the news to her (she'd already been looking after Ashley during the investigation because of course she would).

So now Ash has a not-actually-a-twin sister. She still manages to become a witch-in-training since she's still got her massive potential for magic and witchcraft is canonically a thing in the Pokemon Anime. She even manages to summon Red and make him her familiar at seven. She's a bit more outgoing thanks to being raised in the Ketchum household instead of growing up more-or-less alone in that haunted mansion, but at her core she's still the grumpy little witch girl we know and love.

Anyway, she and Ash both plan on challenging the Indigo League, though they're going to travel together at least for their Kanto Journey (...yeah they're definitely gonna stick together even after that 'cause this is still meant to be a canon rewrite), partly because they know ahead of time about the Starter shortage and they figure that as long as at least one of them gets a Pokemon they can help the other catch something on Route 1 so they don't have to wait a month for a new set to be available (what, you really think Oak would've left them in the lurch for a whole year if the shortage had been real and not a Timeline Preservation Measure? though given how big a head start that would give the other trainers (particularly Gary) it still makes sense why 10-year-old Ash acted like it was the end of the world).

Of course, their alarm clock mysteriously breaks and they oversleep and end up with a Pikachu who hates them and an Eevee with absolutely no thoughts in its fluffy little head.

Anyway, things are mostly normal for a while aside from Ashley and Red being along for the ride, up until Power of One, where they encounter Wario. Apparently he ended up in the Pokemon World because he found some sort of magical artifact during one of his treasure hunts. Notably, he isn't Amnesiac like most Fallers, and he's not from the version of the Mushroom World that Ashley originally came from, as evidenced by him recognizing her on-sight even though she would've disappeared before ever meeting him. Anyway, he helps them beat Laurence III, then decides to claim the Hikokyu as spoils of war and fix it up to use as the local WarioWare HQ. So he's settling down in Shamouti for the time being.

Meanwhile, back in the Mushroom world, the WarioWare crew and the main Mario cast are trying to figure out what happened to Wario. They eventually manage to create a pipe that goes between Diamond City and Shamouti at some point midway through Johto...and find out that he ran off to Johto with Melody to challenge their League because he found out that Pokemon Battling, especially official League matches, gets you prize money, and he needed funds for replacement parts to get the Hikokyu up and running. So Mario, Peach, and about half the crew are off to fetch him. They don't finally catch up with him until the Alto Maire incident. Ashley's part of the search party, so she and the AU's main Ashley (and both Reds of course) end up meeting and it's a bit awkward at first. They end up going by Ashley K (for Ketchum of course) and Ashley M (for Mushroom, since she doesn't have a last name and Ashley W would be too clunky to say, plus she wouldn't be caught dead naming herself after Wario) for the sake of convenience (the Reds follow suit, of course).

I also have the idea of having the Hikokyu set up shop in Orre after it's been made skyworthy again and fully converted into a second game studio, then having the WarioWare crew stumble into and run roughshod over Gale of Darkness's plot with their own brand of glorious mayhem while just trying to introduce their games to the fresh new audience the Pokemon World provides.

I wish they would keep her hair short like this I don't hate her faux twintails cause it does remind me of water but like the short hair is cute

Kiff is a fun show that takes relatively grounded concepts like drama class or going to the movies or the grocery store and turns up the absurdity. A lot of the stories come from Kiff just being super determined to do what she wants to do that day and going to ridiculous lengths to do it. Also Kiff's friendship with Barry is sort of an early-season Spongebob and Patrick dynamic which is always fun.

The humor shines most with sight gags and blink-and-you-miss-it. You'll also get plenty of Kimiko Glenn one-liners that are nothing like Lena but still funny to think that it's her voice. It has what I call "Brooklyn 99 syndrome" where it'll have one moment in every episode that's the funniest thing I've ever seen but I wouldn't call the whole show that if that makes sense.

Also they do the classic song in every episode formula so if you're into that then it's there. Gives us the Lena songs we were robbed of.

Hailey's On It is also fun, and also a lot less focused on the romance element than the trailers and theme song suggest. Sure, Hailey and Scott's *friendship* is all over the show, but it's more about Hailey overcoming her fears of commitment and trying new things.

Hailey and Scott are absolutely adorable together in a best friends type of way. W for us folks who want fun platonic cross-gender relationships, Dewey and Webby style.

This show also does the song in every episode thing, and the lead is the voice of Moana and she canonically sings pretty well and keeps getting pushed to sing more which I love actually. As funny as the "irl actor can't act" trope is to me, I think it plays a lot into Hailey's self-confidence which like I said is a theme in the show.

Tell ya what Scott is dumb as a rock sometimes but I love him. That's all I have to say.

One issue I have with the show is they do vomit/sickness jokes in every episode. Not kidding it's pretty much every single one so far. I can handle one or two if they're good jokes but Hailey's On It goes to the well way too many times in my opinion.

Another thing about the premise is that it requires Hailey to be successful to finish her list. Like when her goal in the episode is to win a contest then you know she's gonna win and it's just a matter of how. I feel like they're gonna have to mess with that formula sometimes to keep it fresh. They've had one or two like the strawberry owl episode where she stumbled into it but most of the time she just wins because she has to for the show to work.

People were upset because Amphibia and the Owl House ending meant that DTVA was dead or whatever. And sure these might not be the epic "story-driven" shows that those two were (although there is definitely story in Hailey's On It so idk what y'all want), but the TVA is in good hands.

Go watch Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur I am begging you.

[zaynes-left-chesticle]

I'm debating... Do I blow all of my diamonds and bank on the 5 star pull ACTUALLY being Xai's Heating Up card?

Or do I just save them in case the next event is another limited Zayne event and the pity rolls over?

OMG my mom is discovering Sherlock "with Bilbo Baggins! and Dr. Strange" right now in 2023

[shellxrls]

for kinktober i’m thinking i’ll do a blurb every other day and then i have 2/3 longer fics/oneshots that i might save to post during the last week.

the prompts/kinks won’t be revealed until i actually post the pieces nor will i make an elaborate kinktober masterlist (at least not until the event has started) cause that way i can write freely and without the debilitating stress of meeting a deadline or conforming to an idea if i decide to change my mind !!

although i can confirm there’ll be writing for rafe, jj, and john b, and i’m working on more for barry, ward, and sarah.

[saph-yells-into-the-void]

thoughts on the new s2 trailer: the art direction is not good im so sorry. they added way too much detail for subpar off-model drawings and made the animation even stiffer than s1 (somehow) as a result.

some scenes have interesting direction, the auras look better, and i actually like the use of 3d in the trailer (pay attention to the close up shots of the players feet), but the poor art direction just to washes it all down the drain for me :/

[purplequay]

btw im so serious when i say that they did chica and month dirty and i am kinda sadge about it. like why have roxy + daycare attendant kept their sentience and ability to like . still think and talk while chica and monty have been reduced to animal like behaviors

while i fucking LOVE the goofiness behind ruined monty (that thing is a dog) im left going❓whenever i think about the two . like what was the reason . why are roxy + da different

[gunsatthaphan]

Hi bestie~

Its me again- anon who watches summer night lmao.

I need to vent a little bc this show is so funng like istg-

Sarah or Sara- or whatever her name is literally the funniest bitch out there.She comes up everytime to Lune and Star and unprompted starts saying shit like: oh LUNE once held my HAND and I've not been normal since then hehe-

Girl keep doing whatever you're doing this is so crazy i love it.

Star and Lune even though, they're cute continue to be the most boring people to walk this earth. IDC IDC; I said what I said.

Ivy is literally an angel, nobody touch her she is my precious girl. White, continues to be the coolest guy out there who respects people and seems to be genuilly the only one to check on everyone ( but who will check on him😔... the preview is wrecking me already..)

Also THE GAYS the GAYS !!! YAAASSS we got a kiss :3 even if it was a little out of the blue! Still very cute. Loving this poor-rich boy dynamic.

Ok thats all- VENT OVER :)

How are your opinions so far on the plot?

hello bestie!!! <3

so glad you're back bc the fandom for this show is a dry desert on here lmao.

but anyway I'm enjoying the show more as it continues; I'm so glad Lune finally got somewhat of a personality after dating Star lmao, he's still passive and she's still childish but they're cute somehow lol.

Sera not missing a single opportunity to announce to Star that her and Lune used to share an eraser and did piggy back rides is so hilarious to me bc like gurl be fr lmao. I also love how they're somehow bringing in a new girl every episode to mess things up lmao like this is all so unserious 😭 But I love it.

But anyway White and Ivy are definitely my favorite people, they're such good friends to their besties and they just have adorable personalities. I wasn't sure if I was on board when they started hinting at them as a cp as they have more of a sibling dynamic but now I'm sold lol. Let it sail. Definitely also helps that Dunk and Lookjun are winning the acting game in this show lol (who knew).

tbh I kinda hated the JewelTan scenes this week I don't get why Tan got so agitated and that kiss was uncalled for and awkward. I hope they fix things in the upcoming eps.

But anyway the show is growing on me and I really hope this sets the tone for their upcoming lakorns bc I'm in desperate need of some good content lol. too bad it only has 10 eps :(

xxx

[birthofvcnus]

i say this with all the love in my heart bc i really do like them but le sserafim are going to get absolutely DESTROYED at coachella 😭

Having exclusively seen Frankie Boyle on Mock The Week like a decade ago I'm still shocked he was on Taskmaster but he was outstanding
