Tropes/Plots I want to see more of

In no particular order, I want to see more:

Fish Out of Water. This trope literally provides the best starting point for character growth, natural conflict, and a conventional love story with a spicy twist. 1000Stars/ATOTS was a decent showing of this trope (and actually the only live action BL I've seen employ it). Really want to see a humanoid alien try to assimilate to earth-faring human life like the one from JJBA Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable.

Mafia. I'd really like to see specific actors play cutthroat Mafia heirs with arm candy.

Single Parent. SPOILER FOR MANNER OF DEATH. This is one of the best tropes ever to me for the potential emotional rush alone. Some of my favorite BLs would be instantly better if one of the main characters had a child and some of my favorite BL characters would be better if the plot of the show they were in called for a single parent main. ATOTS' Phupha as a father is suddenly not a dumbass. MIR's Frame is probably not a you-know-what if he's worried about a girl he just knocked up (before anyone yells at me, I understand the issue with this line of thought). MOD's Bun and Tan end their story happily when they legally adopt That instead of inducing Bun's trauma response with that fucked marriage proposal (the proposal can still happen, just not in that way and enhanced by them becoming an official family).

END OF SPOILER FOR MANNER OF DEATH.

Sex work. I love a good story about/showcasing the realities of sex work. The ways in which its harmful to many and empowering for some, necessary for others and an experiment for a few, makes it such a dynamic trope to employ. Long ago I read a really good AU where our protagonist and his friends all worked in a brothel. He met a rich mafioso and fell in love. It was great. Anyway, a story like this pretty much requires good acting. If it's Thai, I'm automatically casting PP Krit and Gun ATP.

Divorced/Exes. I already had a vague AU prompt for this trope lol. But the idea of exes reuniting has strong subversive energy. It provides an unconventional way by which we can get to know the characters, which is already interesting on its own. Add in a broken home trope and this is a recipe that wins every time (with the right writing of course).

Character with disability and character without disability. Just for the representation this could be awesome. I read a really good one shot about a guy who was deaf and a guy who was hearing who met in an unconventional way and went out on a date. The creative ways through which they had to communicate and the subtleties of nonverbal communication leaving the reader to connect the dots was literary genius.

Revenge. Read a good story about a guy who wanted to murder the president of his fictional country for the indirect death of his mother and worked his way up society's ranks just to get into the same room as the president. He then fell in love with the president and the president's underling before actually murdering the president. Didn't like other aspects of that story but the bare bones written here could make for an interesting live action, edited, adaptation.

Time warp. You know those AUs where one character is in 1999 and the other is in 2019 and they magically talk to each other through some decrepit online chatroom or by writing notes to each other in a magical book? That but set in South Korea. I don't have a lot of faith in Thai BL studios to pull it off but if they could, I nominate Nadao and would love to see Fiat Pattadon (in 1999) and JJ Chayakorn (in 2019) finally get their shine.

(more of a genre but) Thai Fantasy or Sci Fi Adventure. Preferably either a Thai Game of Thrones-esque low fantasy, an apocalyptic scenario, or space adventure. I think Sweden or the US LGBT and BL industries could pull one off very well budget-wise. Also could be interested in a high fantasy Lord of the Rings type show/movie with humanoid elves and hobbits and fairies and whatnot living amongst humans in some hierarchical society.

Victorian Era Royalty. Think Cutie Pie but they're all blue bloods (not just corporate royalty) and live sheltered, high-society lives.
