[pricknim]

Human Twilight Sparkle and Sci-Twi (renamed to Nightfall Dazzle cause we can't have two twilights) in a college au type of setting

Twilight Sparkle -> is the older twin, but still ended up being the shorter one -> is majoring in particle physics whilst also studying sociology and pedagogy -> is the more outgoing of the two; learned the importance of friendship and has been trying to get her sister to be more open as well -> is very popular on campus, as she is very friendly and likes to tutor other people -> bisexual ; had a boyfriend for a while (Flash Sentry), but decided to end things as they just weren't compatible -> likes coffee, but fell in love with Pinkie's tea assortments -> met Pinkie in their first year visiting the bakery she was working at ; they like to study chemistry together -> met Applejack shortly after Pinkie Pie, when she was making a delivery to the bakery, she helped out a bit -> met Rarity in some of their shared classes during their first year -> met Starlight Glimmer and Trixie during her first year; she was tutoring Trixie for a while and was pretty sad when she had dropped out in the end ; she still meets up with Starlight regularly for study dates as they are on the same major -> met Rainbow Dash through Rarity, who had asked Twilight to help tutoring RD -> met Fluttershy through Nightfall and Applejack ; they often have tea parties -> for a few months she was visiting the bakery more often [it definitely wasn't because of a certain somebody working there] -> met Sunset Shimmers through her mentor, Professor Celestia ; they are research buddies -> it was her idea for them to get matching septum piercings Sci-Twi -> Nightfall Dazzle -> is the youngest of the two -> is majoring in astrophysics and is a teacher assistant for Professor Luna -> unlike her sister, she's more shut-in and antisocial ; she's willing to try to make friends now and again for Twi tho (especially since she's getting mistaken for her sister a lot) -> has a short temper -> is a coffee connoisseur -> bisexual as well, but was never really interested in dating ; had a boyfriend for a few months, but ended up forgetting about him, as she was so focused on her studies -> met Pinkie in their first year visiting the bakery she was working at ; they like to study chemistry together -> she met Applejack when she was out shopping one day ; AJ mistook her for Twilight, realizing her mistake she invited Nightfall for a coffee -> met Rarity in a shared class during their first year -> on her first meeting with Starlight she was mistaken for her sister again ; they are in good terms, the three of them sometimes meet up (Twilight, Nightfall and Starlight) -> ran into Rainbow Dash in Pinkie's bakery ; RD mistook her for Twilight, Nightfall ended up having an impromptu study session with RD -> met Fluttershy in Pinkie's bakery whilst having a coffee with Applejack -> the one friend she managed to make on her own, without her sister asking her to, is Tempest Shadow and Moondancer ; she bumped into Tempest at a bookstore, they bonded over books ; Moondancer and her are studying the same major -> they are close to their family and often visit their brother and sister in law -> they are out to their family, but they don't care much for that -> their younger brother, Spike, often comes to visit them during his days off from school -> they don't like to sit next to each other during classes, cause they always end up distracting one other with their usual debates -> they are renting an apartment above the town's library ; they often work / help out at the library over their free summers

Any Teen Dusk and Dawn interactions?

Dawn

“You made a very grave error coming here boy…” the vampire said, smiling as he and his brethren surrounded the boy. 

Dawn smirked towards them, and held one hand up. “Nah, the only one who made the mistake is you. You really shouldn’t have come to this town. I know you bloodsuckers have to feed to survive and all that, but chowing on innocent people is a serious no go, and as the future king of Avalon I can’t have that, ya know?” he asked. 

The vampire chuckled. “What an arrogant little brat you are. What exactly makes you think you can stand against us?” he asked. 

Dawn opened his hand. “Simple. You guys rise with the moon…” A bright ball of intensely hot magic suddenly formed above it, and the vampires hissed and shielded their eyes. “I rise with the sun…”

~~~~

“You understand right uncle Astro? I mean You were the right ruler for Mewni, and I’m the right ruler for Avalon,” Dawn said, laying on his back as he looked down at his uncle. “I know Rain is your favorite and junk, but c’mon.” 

Astro crossed his arms as he looked up at his nephew. “You don’t want the throne Dawn…” he said, narrowing his eyes. 

Dawn sat up. “What? Of course I do! I mean I-” 

Astro cut him off. “A throne isn’t a seat, it’s a weight. I don’t want you or any fo your siblings to ever have to carry it. Just… enjoy being young,” he said, turning and walking off. 

Dawn stared after him, confused. “Man, he can be so dramatic sometimes…” 

~~~~

“So, who’s the alpha twin between the two of you?” the young goddess asked. 

The Twilight Twins shared a look. “I’m stronger,” Dawn pointed out. 

“I’m smarter,” Dusk countered. 

“Yeah… well, I’m better looking,” Dawn said, smirking. Dusk smirked back, and the two shared a chuckle. 

Dusk   

“You arrogant gods think you can just tower over everyone else,” the titan snarled, glaring as he held his injured arm. “What gives you the right to-” 

Dusk sighed, cutting him off. “Stop yapping at me already. I don’t care if you’re a titan, god, mortal, or anything else. I mean I’m the second least ‘godly’ in my family, so if you’re accusing someone of having a complex go find Dawn or Rain” he said, eyes glowing slightly.  “The only reason you’re about to bite the dust right now if because you bared your fangs at what’s important to me…” 

Dusk could let a lot of things slide, but attempts on his family? Never. He could wipe out every single threat that set foot on this island, and he’d make sure his brothers and sister were none the wiser. 

~~~~

“You let your hair grow out too long again,” Calliste said, reaching up and brushing a finger over his bangs. “You said you’d be more mindful of that.” 

Dusk sat in silence for a moment, and then looked away from the young goddess. “I’ve been busy…” It wasn’t a lie. He’d been running around doing so many tasks lately that it had slipped his mind. Not that she would cut him any slack for it. 

“Turn around,” she said, summoning a small blade of water. “I’ll cut it.” 

Dusk didn’t argue, and turned his back towards her as she moved behind him and began snipping his hair. He untensed and allowed himself to relax. He only ever seemed to be able to do so with her. “Thanks…” 

“If you want to thank me, look after yourself. You can’t look after your siblings if you don’t take care of yourself first.”    

~~~~

“C’mon, let me tag along!” DJ said, chasing after his brother. 

“No, go home DJ,” Dusk said, sounding exhausted. 

“But Dawn is coming with you right? I can be back up! I can-” 

Dusk turned around towards him and glared. “Go. Home.” 

DJ flinched, and then scowled. “Fine…” He turned and walked off, an obviously bitter expression on his face. 

Dusk watched him go, and then sighed. He felt bad about shooing him away. He knew he just wanted to help and be useful. But he couldn’t bring himself to let him tag along on this one. Not with that he was doing. 

He was too young to have blood on his hands…

I love Malon.

She sees a face she likes

And she grabs it

It's a love language! She grabs the faces she likes. There's so many times it happened- like every time she was showing affection.

To anyone

Of any species

If you are near Malon and she likes your face it will be grabbed, sorry

She's gonna be such a great mother

Time is not immune, as her husband he signed up for it

How would you describe Teen Dusk and Dawn’s aesthetic/style? Like would they still dress the same when they’re older?

Dusk is probably dresses in a very 'plain' style. Dull solid colors that make him blend in. You'd never know he was a god or prince by the way he walks around, and that's exactly how he likes it. Very much tries to blend into the background so he can remain unbothered and get what he needs to get done finished. (He's busy handling 'business' on behalf of the family).

Dawn is a little more flashy, very bright colors (probably a lot of yellow and orange). Likes wearing hoodies and sneakers (collects both and likes showing them off). Also keep a necklace that Taiyo forced for him. (Refers to him as a fellow 'son of the sun' since he has an affinity for fire/sun based magic).

I imagine they also look a little different when they're older now, Dawn being a little taller and keeping his hair nicely styled while Dusk is a bit shaggy now.

This Week in BL - The unexpected rise of cooking crush & seme bjs

Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.

Jan 2024 Wk 3

Ongoing Series - Thai

The Sign (Sat YT) ep 9 of 12 - I love this show so damn much. This may be my KinnPorsche. It’s just so endlessly entertaining in a perfectly unhinged way. I love that they looped Tharn’s dad back into the murder investigations.

You know kinksters have invented necklaces that can’t come off… right? Just saying.

Meanwhile, would it still be BL if our seme didn’t wake up from drowning and instantly go chase snake?

No. No it would not. 

Remember the one hard and fast rule of BL? When a seme gives a BJ it’s penance. Phaya is apologizing to Tharn for leaving him behind.

Heh. Hard and fast. I kill me. 

Pit Babe (Fri iQIYI) ep 10 of 14 - How is this absurd creature managing to rise in the ranks? Pavel turned in some stellar grief and ALANJEFF have my whole heart. I make Ikea puns in the... Trash watch happening here.

Cooking Crush (Sun YT) ep 7 of 12 - The make-out montage was absolutely charming and very much American rom com style - interesting (and rare) to see in a BL (not to mention from OffGun. How far we have come since Puppy Honey?)

Meanwhile, another wonderful grandma in a BL!

Next week we do an actual harken back to Puppy Honey, so obviously I’m now enjoying this whole show way more than before. I think it helped that I watched it earlier in the week, when it wasn’t competing with any other BLs. 

Last Twilight (Fri YT) ep 11 of 12 - Not gonna lie, I knew from you all that this was gonna be a rough ep. But I very clearly remember the penultimate Bad Buddy ep so I now have slightly more trust than others in GMMTV on this matter. 

That said, this was a crap episode.

You can’t set Mork’s truth and character motivation reveal up like that and then have his lover choose to dismiss him in a way that diminishes not just both character's growth AND all of Mork's actions towards Day, but also our faith in every other character. It was a shitty narrative thing to do to us, and it was a shitty thing to do to Mork. And that doesn’t even take into account the forgiveness allotted by the story to Day’s unrepentant excuse for a mother.  The doom should have been handled differently. The mom shoudl have leaned in even more evil and actively lied to split them apart.

I don't know if they can redeem this misstep in the final episode. But I'm interested to see them try. That said, this plot seem to be true to the book. 

For Him (Thurs iQIYI) ep 8 of 12 - A major trigger has landed. But also it’s clear who’s fault that incident was... and it’s not Him’s. So Blue's so-called-friend really is unhinged. This episode was a little bit more engaging than last week, but it’s only because stuff actually happened. I’m still not sure I enjoyed it. 

Twins the series (Fri GaGa) ep 12fin - Despite the fact that I’ve been annoyed by the show the last couple of episodes, I’m still sad for it to end. It was a good reveal and First had the right response. Also a very sports way to end it. Sprite is a v clingy bf. 

In brief?

A messy very Thai pulp sports romance that actually managed to involve sports in an identical twins trading-places plot. Basically Not Me meets HIStory 2 Crossing the Line (although vastly inferior to either) with an endearing main character and a good lead pair (poor things), both soapy and earnest without too much camp. It tried so hard but the plot, side couples, and extraneous characters let us down. Passable if not great. 7/10 

Time the series (Thai Gaga) ep 2 of 10 - Eh. Whatever. 

My Universe (Sun iQIYI) ep 22 of 24 - skipped this installment

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Although I Love You and You AKA Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yaro ka (Japan Gaga) ep 2 of 10 - Funny how quickly he retracted that confession and everyone called him out for doing it too soon (including me from a narrative beats perspective). It was a cute screw up - I see what your meta-arse is doing there, Japan. Also our Tokyo-boy’s serious reserved earnestness is extra adorable in the surrounded by Osaka enthusiasm context. His accidental flirting is that much more heart wrenching for our poor baby seme.  And they ended this ep with honorific negotiations!! Be still my heart. I’m really adoring this show.

Your hyung romance super fan is back in the game! 

Meanwhile the Osaka accent is beyond adorable. 

Sahara-sensei to Toki-kun (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 6 of 8 - Japan what are you doing? I do love the not-sorta-ex from the past. 

VIP Only (Taiwan Fri Gaga) ep 10fin - I loved all the young people in the hawker center supporting the campaign against the terrible mother. They make a good domestically sappy couple. But that is Taiwan's specialty.

In brief?

A sweet if aimless story about a writer and a chef finding love via noodles, fake dating, and family challenges. If it had a tighter script and a shorter run, more like a KBL this might’ve been quite special. But it didn’t and it lost me too many times. 6/10

I don’t like to be disappointed by Taiwan. 

It's done: I Need to Catch up

What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps - will binge when I have any spare time. 2024 is crazy busy for me so far.

The Servant and the Young Master - from Vietnam so I assume it's on YouTube. I never even noticed. Anyone?

Began Beginning (Myanmar YouTube) - Is TRUST Entertainment bringing us the first ever Burmeses BL? I don't know if it's really the first, but @heretherebedork vouched for it, so I will give it a watch through.

It's Airing But...

[INTERNATIONAL] Cherry Magic (Sat YouTube) ep 3 of 12 - yeah Japan put the smack down on our boys. Sadness. You can use a VPN if you like. Read all about it here.

Beside You (Thai YouTube) - a 3 sp short that's supposed to have started but I can't find it.

Ossans Love Season 2 (Japan Gaga) - 5 years later, will anything have changed? This is Japan so… probubly not. I won't be watching this. I disliked Season one and actively hated the follow ups. No thank you.

Playboyy (Thurs Gaga) 14 eps - Dear Playboyy, it's not you, it’s me… I hate you. You’re about as deep (and as palatable) as a shot glass of cum. While I'm sure you’re someone’s kink, you're my weakest link. Goodbye. I DNFed this at ep 5. Frankly I'm impressed with myself for getting that far.

The Whisperer (Sun ????) 10 eps - Ends next week. Thai horror BL that ALSO involves cheating (what joy is mine). I don't think even the perfect single dimple can motivate me to watch. Word is... it's terrible.

7 Days Before Valentine (Weds WeTV) 10 eps - Giving me Luminous Solution vibes. I'm waiting to binge if safe.

Dead Friend Forever (Thai Sat iQIYI) - horror, meh, tell me if it's worth my time?

(Last week)

[silverraes]

so like who wants to be my cute little thai bl friend circle who share one brain cell and have zero coherent thoughts together

[jamethinks]

It’s late I’m on sleeping meds so let’s make a list of spy x family hcs hehe except I don’t know how to hc normally and half of these are retcons

- Twilight preemptively assumes anyone he meets have dead parents

- the Eden 5 are a well known group at their school and they regularly eat lunch together at the exact same spot and fight the entire time

- Anya and Becky eventually get along with Damian’s goon and they actually start to talk and spend time together without him

- Most of the girls in Anya’s class don’t like her because they think she’s too close to Damian

- Anya is very popular among the older kids because they all think she’s secretly a baby

- this is more or less a fanfic idea I had but sometimes girls try to bully Anya but not inviting her to parties but inviting Becky (same with Damian and his boys) but in the end Becky (and Damian) refuse to go

Eden gang star signs

Ewin (I can’t remember how to spell it GAG) - Capricorn

Emile - Taurus

Damian - Virgo

Anya - Pisces

Becky - Gemini

Demetrius - Aquarius/Pisces

- Becky has an older sister (large difference) named Rebecca and she’s the one name Becky and so Becky hates it when people lengthen her name and call her Rebecca

- Demetrius is a mama’s body, his special interest in chest, he has OCD like his dad

- Demetrius struggles with socializing bc he finds people hard to understand but he enjoys hanging out with Anya because she’s the simplest person to understand and the explanation is always the same “I dunno”.

- Anya has a secret ability called passive listening where her she’s constantly hearing people’s thoughts whether or not she wants to do she enjoys spending time. With Demetrius alone in the garden away from the rest of the student body because that’s the only way she hears true silence

- Demetrius prefers Anya over Damian

- Donovan also prefers Anya over Damian

- Melinda does not

- Henry considers Anya his second favourite student of all time

- Henry’s daughter’s name is Martha

[scarefox]

Please someone tell the Thai BL industry to not air EVERY drama on Friday + Saturday 💀 The week has more days.

The struggle to chose which one to watch first and then dodge ALL the spoilers for the other ones.

[spacedustmantis]

woe, the suckening tma au be upon ye (this is my scheme to get my tma followers into jrwi and my jrwi followers into tma)

fucking. putting them in london

emizel - hunt (self explanatory, hunting for gabriel first, hunting for whatever he can get his fangs on next)

shilo - web (he's so manipulative i love him. textbook web avatar)

arthur - slaughter (considering everything with his family and the gradual loss of humanity and his indiscriminate killing and mauling and diablerizing towards the end... yeah quite clearly an unwilling/unaware slaugher avatar)

the weylin twins - flesh (duh)

deacon - hunt (bc he's a cop and the inherent power dynamic between cop and person they wanna get behind bars or worse is inherently hunt coded (bc the hunt isn't just about the chase, it's about the feeling of powerlessness in the face of a predator)

the unseen one/the nosferatu - eye (again, duh)

the midnight circle - also eye (more in the knowledge sense than in the watching sense)

edward - stranger (what if i made the whole world look like me forever)

soda - marked by the web (curtesy of shilo)

grefgor - marked by the web (curtesy of shilo yet again)

magnus - honestly fuck if i know. probably neither marked nor an avatar. he's just chilling. watching smosh with his husband
