JC Lin and Wu Chien Ho in LET'S TALK ABOUT CHU (2024)

[pharawee]

This week I won't make the same mistake again and venture into the mdl comments for Flirt Milk but only because I already did so earlier today before the second episode aired and yep, it's still filled to the brim with non-stop negativity and the occasional thinly-veiled racist comment about how Thai BL is bad because it's Thai BL or something idek.

Meanwhile, after two episodes I still find myself liking the show. I think it's because it's exactly what I need right now: something light-hearted (but still very heart...ful? If that makes sense?) that doesn't take itself too seriously, with quirky characters and somewhat unlikely storytelling. Something that's decidedly NOT realistic and NOT deep and NOT slice-of-life (but I guess by now it's really no secret that slice-of-life and I don't get along).

Also, I'm always somewhat hesitant about labeling fictional characters, especially when it's never openly stated as such, but Nom Jued to me definitely reads like he might be on the spectrum, and it's actually so nice to see a character like him as one of the leads in a rom-com BL - even more so since he's just being himself (which is also why I think the actor isn't doing a bad job at all)? He's in his third year at uni, he's got friends who (while protective) let him do his thing... he's definitely quirky and standing out but no one really comments on it or even babies him for it (at least not in a way that isn't instantly framed as bad and restrictive by the show imo). I also really like this dynamic where he's older than Phra Aek, and while Phra Aek definitely takes the lead most of the time, they sometimes have this adorable back and forth on who gets to treat who etc.

Plus, I'm all about silly humour so the 'let's call his scooter nong and be super extra confusing about it so we can make pee-pee jokes' thing is peak comedy to me.

I know, I'm repeating myself at this point but: I like this show (don't get me wrong, I can definitely see why it's not everyone's cup of tea). It might love its tropes a little too much, and it certainly won't win any awards but then again, I'm not sure it's even supposed to.

[orengejoshi]

could you draw Dr. Flug pregnant, without the bag over his head?

no I'm sorry, if you mean my bagless Flug design; it's a little too obviously based on a real human being (GLP/GermanLetsPlay, who uses a very similar design of his persona for merch, it's absolutely his trademark. my german followers always recognize him immediately.) and I won't do that without consent. it's my full intention for him to look exactly like Manu bc I thought it would be funny. if I design a different bagless Flug maybe in the future I can do that, but I probably won't.

I dislike the idea of Flug's face being revealed and dread it. I don't want to know. the secret is the appeal!! I'm slightly objectum

this is all I can offer you! I hope you still like it🫡

some excited chatting between these two dorks🩷

I'll even throw a random headcanon at you: I like to think Flug and Black Hat are both autistic, but Flug is the talkative, expressive type and Black Hat the one that is almost always mute and monotone. yapper x listener ig haha

and stare at his best friend like this

He may not have the power to fix me but he sure is helping <3

Chreon Week: Hair Washing (Day 3)

There’s a familiar numbness that makes it’s home in his bones as he opens the door to his apartment. He feels filthy, worn. His body is caked in soot, dried sweat, and blood.

His apartment isn’t empty, he realizes faintly, hearing heavy footsteps shuffling in the kitchen. He makes his way over there in a numb haze, blue eyes landing on Chris’s familiar figure. The taller male is leaning against one of the kitchen countertops, cradling a small mug of what Leon assumes to be coffee in his hands.

Brown eyes meet his gaze, scanning his body, eyes widening with what Leon thinks is concern at the blood on his body. Most of it isn’t his, except for the patch that’s caked into his hair. He had been slammed against a wall, hit his head. He’s probably concussed, but he’s fine.

He’s fine.

Chris obviously doesn’t think so, or finds something on his expression that indicates he isn’t, because he’s setting the mug down and stepping forward, enveloping him in a warm hug, and oh. That’s nice. Leon tenses at first, because of course he does, he can still see reaching, rotting hands reaching for him when he closes his eyes, but he relaxes quickly. Large hands rub circles on his back, making Leon melt a bit more, tucking his head against Chris’s shoulder.

“Bad mission?” Chris murmurs, voice soft from where his mouth is pressed against the crown on his head. Leon doesn’t answer, can’t really find the words to, so he just nods a little. Chris makes an understanding humming sound, soothing.

“C’mon, let’s get you cleaned up. You’ll feel a bit better then,” Chris says, pulling away just a little, trying to gauge Leon’s reaction. He just nods, letting Chris pull him towards the bathroom.

Actually getting into the tub is a bit of a blur But he’s there, warm water surrounding him. Chris had deemed a bath easier, and Leon agrees now that he’s in it, body feeling almost heavy with exhaustion.

Chris bathes him, which would be more embarrassing if he had the mind to feel more than the fuzzy numbness that plagues him. As it is, it takes a lot to focus on the warm water and warmer hands that scrub at his body.

His a bit more himself by the time Chris starts on his hair, wincing as warm water runs over the area that had been hurt. Chris mutters a soft sorry, taking more care around the area. It feels nice, though, short fingernails scratching at his scalp gently when the other male shampoos his hair. He sputters a bit when water falls in front of his face, huffing at Chris’s gentle laughter.

Eventually, they’re done, though, Leon stepping out of the tub and drying himself down with a towel. Chris had exited the room to grab Leon some clothes, so Leon bundles himself in the towel and enters their shared bedroom.

Once he’s dressed in a soft T-shirt and sweats, he’s settled on the bed. Chris fusses with the wound in his head a bit more, but there’s not much left to do and Leon feels exhaustion weighing him down even more. He doesn’t want to sleep, not yet, knowing nightmares will plague him tonight. Still, his eyes are fighting to stay open, and Chris notices as usual, the ever attentive bastard that he is.

So Leon is being gently tipped sideways, laying on the bed. Chris curls around him, arms coming to loop around his waist, but the hold is loose. Leon would be able to break out of it if he really wanted to. He didn’t.

“C’mon, go to sleep. I’ll be here when you wake up,” Chris hums, Pressing a kiss in between Leon’s shoulder blades, and he relaxes a little, letting his eyes close.

“Thanks,” Leon replies sleepily, letting himself go. He barely registers the tightening of the arms around his waist before he falls asleep.

Yo, so.. I don’t know what you are here for but I’m here to talk about theories, the story and everything else, even if we only have one episode yet. That’s why there’s this fandom. For talking about the game. For making theories. Crazy ones and logical ones. Everything.

Sorry.

So my in-depth commentary and analysis of the Drowned In A Sea Of Tears music video (& song) will have to wait. Not too long I hope. I hope the video makes its epic return tomorrow morning. Again

So I think I found the answer to stuff I'd been wondering for a while, so putting it here to share and find later

Mr ZSaku, what part of "April Fools" and "jokes" don't you understand? I know people who post this sort of meta-semi-forth-wall-break-brutally-honest-character-nonsense on Halloween and they're at least honest about it.

yes i'm happy here, i never stopped missing friends and hometown tho. yep i reached some dreams. yes we're still writing and dancing🥹🥹. we are not friends anymore. yes we told her we love her, she loved us for a long time too we still do, but we don't know if she still feels the same. we miss her very much.
