incoming long post about BL boys!!! and character!! you’ve been warned:

i’m back because i can’t stop thinking about thamepo, and specifically thame.

like i love them both, but as someone whose ace, it’s harder for me to empathize with po’s situation of loss romantic love and heartbreak

however for thame—facing a loss of familial love and carrying the responsibility of MARS on his shoulders and trying his best but failing in the end—his situation is my bread and butter

specifically i wanna talk about how the sandwich scene is actually so perfectly written to explain thame’s character.

some may find it cringey and that the writers are trying way too hard to create melodrama / moments, missing out on well placed metaphors

in my opinion, i actually think that’s the point lol

thame thinks of himself as the main character of MARS’s story, the protagonist, the hero that’s gonna save them all. because he’s the leader, he’s tasked himself to carry the burden of the group and to make all their promises come true

i think it’s so funny actually, how he decided to stay back from Korea and get the band back together because i don’t think that was po’s goal. i think he just wanted thame to see past himself a bit and be honest with his feelings. now he’s an accomplice 😅

anyway, thame’s hero complex is so deeply ingrained in him, he saw that sandwich about to be tossed and his brain (consciously? unconsciously?) was like—this is it, this is the sign i need to pursue my mission

he’s looking for that catalyst / inciting incident in the narrative of his life. and he’s decided that, now that he’s quite literally going off script, he has to write the story himself (with a little help from po lol)

and he’s new to this, or maybe a bit rusty, so it comes out cheesy and corny. but it’s still genuine to who he is (and yeah still swimming in melodrama, but hey, love will do that to a person)

these boys are so soft and sad, it breaks my heart, but they are going to do a great job of fixing it and putting it back together ♥️

Yeah, I would say in fiction it's BL-ey. Irl it's totally neutral. Even after covid no one around me is careful about sharing food and drinks. But this isn't real life, they chose to put it on screen knowing it's a thing, so I don't think it's that wrong to read into it.

People freaking out in youtube comments to High School Frenemy 12/1 about Shin drinking from Saint's bottle of water and sharing bread, shouting about 'indirect kiss' and 'in real life it would be a BL' made me really wonder how many people do not share same food and drinks with their friends 😅

How do they express the affection for their friends then?? How do they show you're on good terms if not by allowing someone to have your share of food and water in need? If a friend asks your bottle of water, will you be like 'yeah wait let us find a cup to pour water for you' or what

So Shin was mad at Saint for avoiding him after the accident, and Saint was feeling too guilty to keep "ruining" Shin's life? And when they fight, Shin is angry and keeps "hating" and blaming Saint for being an idiot without properly explaining? And Saint keeps sacrificing his own life in happiness because he thinks Shin would be finally happy without troubles he brings? They keep hurting each other emotionally because they want to keep each other from being hurt?

And to resolve their arguments, Saint just needs to not run away and Shin just needs to punish him? Because after being hurt by Shin, Saint thinks he went through punishment he deserved and earned Shin's forgiveness so they can still be close and there's no need for self-inflicted punishment?

Saint willingly gives up control over his life and incredible strength to Shin, while Shin wants nothing more than to keep Saint next to him and protect him from dangerous or stupid decisions?

What kind of dynamic is this between two best high school friends..................

[wereflamingo-in-thai-dramaland]

shinsaint are so funny because shin high-key wants saint to be the Toxic Male Lead that forcibly chains shin to his side regardless of what anyone including shin wants or thinks and like saint sometimes seems like he's about to commit to the bit but he keeps shying away (because he's scared about hurting shin/that it makes him a bad person/etc ) and shin's trying so hard to convey that he's totally fine with it and saint keeps Not Getting It even though saint also wants to tie shin to his side for all eternity and it's driving shin so crazy this show is a comedy

I’m sorry, BlackGramGene? 👀

I don't think you're sorry at all 😁

It's a mess of mostly dialogue and questionable characterization, so I'm going to make you a trailer of tiny snippets:

"Are you mad at Gram?" "No. I know I should be. If he was anyone else, if I was someone else, I'd cut you both out forever. But he's not anyone else, and neither are you. "

"I don't care. You decide if you want to stay away from me because Gram asked. It's not my job to preserve your relationship." "It's barely a relationship." "Do you want it to be?"

"If he can't take seeing me around you, I'm telling him to fuck off." "Yeah?" "Like you said, if you were anyone else, you'd be out of chances by now. But you're not anyone else."

"I'm at Eugene's, she says you should come over." "Why are you at Eugene's?" "I don't know, Gram, why do you think I'm at Eugene's?"

"You want to make out or something?" "Uh…" "You don't have to, Black's just trying to say that if it'll make you feel more secure, he's down." "Yeah, that," Black says nonchalantly, but his thumb is moving softly over Gram's cheek, and his eyes keep moving between Gram's eyes and his mouth. Eugene snorts. "Also he's just down. Like, in general."

WIP Tag Game!

RULES: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then tag as many people as you like!

Thank you @doyou000me, @dropthedemiurge, and @ablazenqueen for tagging me!

The truth is, I don't have a WIP folder, it's just my fandom google account's drive... So I'll filter out what's already posted/ongoing, and only mention abandoned files if I feel like it :P

Mind you, some of these have very little text in them, especially the filks... And many of my notes, and sometimes a bunch of dialogue too, are still in my notes app with no titles at all.

First sketch in like, a really long time (almost a year wth, and I only did like one big drawing and one smaller drawing since then as well) and of course it's gotta be the High School Frenemy boys

[wereflamingo-in-thai-dramaland]

This Methawee sure is a piece of work... She will not let her father manipulate her, she will manipulate everything instead! She will fight for disability rights, but her perfect fairytale moment can only occur once she has her vision back! And until it's back to whatever level of perfection she wants (not like it was originally perfect), she'll just fake her continued blindness. Perfectly reasonable behavior! 🙃

She builds an entire relationship with someone who loves her, but still can't love Oom more than she loves the story she tells herself about her own life. Because that's what her first love is—a story about herself, about the origin of her fighting spirit. No wonder she fell in love with a writer.

And then she's lucky and her story works out and she does like Ai and Ai likes her back, but she still won't tell Ai anything, because she has to be in full control of everything all the time. And of course her plots keep falling through because she fails to account for Ai being her own person with her own feelings.

This show is just as messy as I expected, and May is fascinating.

In any other show these three would be the messiest part, but because they are in the most insane telenovela, they are the chill b-plot

The Pim/Pang/Jan love triangle is incredible to me, I have absolutely no idea where it's going and neither do they. It's not even right to call it a love triangle, it's more like a sad conga line
