#yai x mangkorn

[respectthepetty]

What I signed up for: High heat, peak fuckboi behavior, clown-to-clown communication, mess, drama.

What I got: Gentle touches, peak I've-been-in-love-with-him-forever behavior, one-sided enemies-to-lovers communication, safe sex practices, HEALING!

Mangkorn and King are in two different stories, but they are cut from the same cloth, and it's made from the finest boyfriend material.

Hopefully that fabric extends to childhood too.

Bed Friend, give me everything I didn't sign up for. Give me this plot! I am begging you. Please, please, PLEASE! I will quit being mean to my administrators to their faces if I get this plot. I will stop being disgusted when people mistake me for a hetero. I will openly show emotion, which I haven't done since 2003. Give. Me. This. Plot.

In your name I pray. Amen.

Reblogging SOLELY for the Big Dragon appreciation in retrospect. My pendejos deserve this!

Rules: List 10 of your comfort shows

tagged by @he-is-lightning-in-a-bottle (thanks doll)

I rarely pass along tags but you should do this one and tag me if you do so I can see, comfort watches are my absolute FAVORITE.

This is a BL blog and I've watched most of them, so I will be picking BL. But I will only be picking BL I am rewatching for comfort right NOW.

Some of these may surprise. Ready?

My Top 10 Comfort BL's right NOW

1 kiss x kiss x kiss - perfect scandal (short)

My favorite of this series because it's basically office romance sexy bits we all wanted from Old Fashion Cupcake.

2 Jun & Jun

his show made up for in style what it lacked in substance. I like fluff. I loved this. I smile every moment I'm watching. This is very much MY style of BL.

3 Love is Science (BL cut)

Mark and Ouwen gotta be one of my all time favorite side dishes. LIS? is a noona romance with added mature side couple as well as these two, mostly interwoven. It’s a big buy in just for Mark & Ouwen but WORTH IT, and some kind soul uploaded a BL cut to YT. Everything is a touch quirky but the BL boys are beautiful, earnest, and high heat. It's one of Taiwan's favorite dynamics: the bisexual himbo meets the confident gay, but they are just LOVELY, plus tiny queer family at the end.

4 2 Moons 3

What can I say, it's utter trash but there is something about the main couple I love. A Thai pulp that felt like it came out 5 yrs ago with many of the flaws inherent to that time and studio system, including manufactured angst and convoluted plot, but an ultimately sweet main couple that (as a pairing) feels a bit more modern and is satisfying to watch. This will probably go down in history as one of the few BLs where I genuinely didn’t care about any of the side couples.

5 Love Class 2

But only "my couple." ( the mature student and the TA). I still hold that they probably should’ve had their own series.

6 Big Dragon

I didn't love this when it first aired but I am coming around to it more on the rewatch. (I may even up its score from 7 to 8 if the eventual movie sticks the landing). This is a pairing that proved itself to be a lot more sophisticated than I expected with nods at kink in a more respectful way than Mame could ever dream, plus excellent chemistry.

7 Why R U? Korea

The Korean remake of Why RU? is BOTH bizarro land, and EXACTLY what I expected. There is something comforting in watching the Cliff's notes version of a show I enjoyed before just in a different BL style. I don't know why I like this one so much, but I really do.

8 Takara & Amagi

I gnawed on my knuckles and squealed a lot with this show first time around. Now I still love it but I'm more calm. It is beyond charming: soft and gentle, packed with cuteness and high school angst, thirst, & yearning.

9 About Youth

A truly lovely little coming of age high school BL with a classic YA low drama but high angst and an earnest depth.

Clearly I'm having a bit of a high school phase because I've been thinking of doing this one next:

10 My School President

Yes, we’ve seen it all before, but I still ADORED this. And there is a lot to be said for the classics being re-executed perfectly. Who let my BL be this wholesome and funny?

[negrowhat]

If I'm thinking about Big Dragon...then it's more than likely specifically about Mangkorn going down on Yai in soft warm light.

Okay. I've sat with this for a few hours and I still cannot figure it out. I don't know if playing Dancing With The Devil during Sun and Lin's sex scene this week was brilliant or not. Because listen, it absolutely did not fit the show or the characters. Don't get me wrong, it's a banger of a song that I have been listening to since Big Dragon aired BUT it was not the appropriate song for that scene.

However, I'm sure MosBank fans (myself included) appreciated the throwback. I was literally just telling @heretherebedork that I think Dancing With The Devil is a much better ISBANKY song than Pink Sea (the Sunset X Vibes opening) when I got to that scene and had my soul snatched out of my body. So I can't decide if it was brilliant to use that song as a kind of love note to MosBank fans or if it was just plain bad.

I think I have to land on somewhere in the middle. I think it was a bad choice show wise. It had no business being in the show, but at the same time the show already had a lot of issues and I thought the song/sound choices were not the greatest the whole time. But it was a good choice for fans. Which is fun and all but I wish it had been a different song. Well looks like typing this helped me figure out my feelings on the matter.

By choosing Dancing With The Devil, they betrayed the show and the story they were trying to tell (I know I know it wasn't done well up to that point either but hear me out). Dancing With The Devil belonged in Big Dragon. It belonged with Mangkorn and Yai because it completely fit their characters and their dynamic throughout the whole show. It does not fit Sun and Lin. Even at their...surliest, their meanest, their most devlish, neither one could accurately be labeled a devil. And especially not in a scene where they are coming together in an act of love (god I almost threw up typing that because I can't stand emotions but that's what that scene was). It felt disingenuous to the characters to have a song that did not represent them playing.

Now, with all that said, I want to make myself clear. I still loved it. I love that song every time I hear it. So I will criticize the choice to use it when a more fitting song should have been chosen, but I will still enjoy the scene and the show for what it is/was. This might be the first time that a song choice that took me out of a show and the scene did not ruin my enjoyment of the scene. It's truly a mixed bag. I am full of contradictions and multitudes and they are all coming out and being represented by that fucking song choice. Anyway, that is to say, go listen to ISBANKY's music. It's good and he deserves some more love there.

9 Fandom Peeps to Get to Know Better

Tagged by: @mikuni14 and @my-rose-tinted-glasses Thanks for the tag

3 Ships You Like: Way too many ships to choose from. I am going to narrow it down to ships I have re-read fics for recently: Ai Di x Chen Yi from Kiseki: Dear to me; Mangkorn x Yai from Big Dragon; The two love in the air couples as a polycule.

First Ship Ever: Sana and Akito from Kodomo No Omacha, I was obsessed with this anime when I was little. I can still use the italian theme song of this anime as an instant nostaligia fuel pick me up.

Last Song You Heard:

I heard this song watching a video retrospective of on The Originals the Vampire Diaries Spinoff (a show I never watched) but the song and the scene it was in slapped.

Favorite Childhood Book: the OG english title is called Devil's Footsteps. It's similar to IT but just the children part and a lot less children. I used to love this book

Currently Reading: Nothing, all my books are put away (because we are waiting to hear to get a new house and so half of our stuff as been ready for months). So for now just fanfiction.

Currently watching: Pretty much just BLs. I am going to binge Young Royals S3 when it's done and watch the new season of Interview With The Vampire when that starts to air this month i think? but for now just BLs.

Currently consuming: Cup of Tea

Currently craving: The mousse that me and my sister made earlier and isn't ready to eat yet.

ANOTHER thing I like about Big Dragon is the fact that Yai and Mangkorn are both clearly experienced in BDSM. With Yai we've seen direct proof in the fact that he owns kink paraphernalia and has a play partner. With Mangkorn it's less immediately obvious without personal kink experience, but there are several things that tell me he's far from new to it. First, he was able to use Yai's toys even while heavily intoxicated, suggesting that he's used kink implements before. Second, he sought out consent in the bathroom. Consent culture is a thing that's specifically a big deal in the kink scene, as I've mentioned before. The more experienced someone is, the more likely they are to be aware of the importance of it. Third, he didn't show an ounce of hesitation or uncertainty in the bathroom. The moment Yai apologized to him, he knew that Yai had started to feel submissive and would be amenable to playing. Mangkorn established honorifics right away, setting the stage for the scene, also something that you're more likely to know is necessary if you're experienced. And again, within the scene there was no hesitation or uncertainty. Not allowing Yai to speak unless spoken to, giving Yai directions one by one so that it's not remotely difficult to follow them...he's done this before.

I love this because being experienced in kink makes it so much easier to enjoy each other. To know how to have fun and how to be safe. They both know what they want and what they're looking for, which is another reason they were able to recognize their compatibility after less than three minutes of play.

Ahhh this show is destroying my mind

Mos Panuwat as Mangkorn in Big Dragon (2022)

+ bonus

[bellarkeandclintashaandsuch]

I like that Mangkorn used this emoji 🐯 for Yai in his phone instead of this one 🐅. He doesn’t see Yai as a threat the way Yai sees him, I think. He seems amused by Yai’s animosity.
