honestly, i love pavel's career. from the disaster that was 2moons2 where he worked on the english subtitles and was the leader of the boy band made from the cast, to making fun of it on twitter and moving on with coffee melody and his youtube channel, to then starring as a dom alpha bottom in the first ever omegaverse live action that literally lied to the public saying they took the a/b/o stuff out. no one is doing it like him.
Dean [Until We Meet Again & Between Us] - I do not remember seeing this, but I have the picture, so it must've happened. It’s a compass on his hip because he was lost without Phram and always looking for direction.
Win [Until We Meet Again & Between Us] – We will hopefully find out something next month when the series begins, but even if we don’t, we can still appreciate that these are henna including those angel wings.
Jang JaeYoung [Semantic Error] - Does it have meaning? As he stated in the series, “Not really. I just liked it” but I'm seeing an eclipse thanks to Ayan's hoodie.
Chu SangWoo [Semantic Error] – Hand drawn by JaeYoung, and it is the first image JaeYoung ever drew for him when they first met in the episode one.
Black/White [Not Me] – White had to get it because Black had it, and Black had it because..no idea, but it could symbolize death or strength.
Yok [Not Me] – Mandarin on the flank means mom, but the birds and the forearm one, no idea.
Tonhon [Tonhon Chonlatee] – “An anchor is what a navigator or sailor uses to hold his vessel to the ocean. Tonhon means a navigator. That’s why I had this anchor tattooed on my left chest to remind me that my heart will not drift away. It will be with the ocean and that is your name, Chonlatee, forever. Every time I look at it, it reminds me that I have you in my heart all the time.”
Kamol [Unforgotten Night] – I didn’t watch this, so I’m guessing that it was because he had pet tigers, and I'm fine believing that.
Mangkorn [Big Dragon] – Mangkorn means dragon, and he is the dragon (Yang) to Yai’s tiger (Yin).
Porsche [KinnPorsche] – A phoenix because that was his underground fighting alias, fire is his friend (he gets the fire started in the woods, he starts a fire in his first week on the job, he smokes), his mom used to tell him stories about the phoenix rising from the ashes, his color in the series is yellow, and he is the phoenix/fire (Yang) to Kinn’s tortoise/water personality (Yin - he's like his mom).
Pete [KinnPorsche] – “No legacy is so rich as honesty” is from Shakespeare’s comedy All’s Well That Ends Well, which is about a woman of lower rank trying to marry the man she loves who is of a higher rank. The quote shows not only to live an honest life (in a play full of dishonesty), but to be honest with oneself, something that Pete does in the end when…you know.
Ram [My Engineer] – Has a dream catcher on his neck to chase away bad dreams, a wolf on his arm, a tribal turtle on his shoulder, and a few others.
Forth [2 Moons 2] – Actor’s actual tattoo. Might be a Sak Yant tattoo for good fortune.
Sarawat [2gether] – Actor’s actual tattoo. I think it was something about remembering who you are.
Gene [Lovely Writer] - Actor's actual tattoo. A family portrait. Thanks @calipigio
Phupha [A Tale of Thousand Stars] - Actor's actual tattoo. It now has a quote above it. He also has two thigh tattoos ("Be somebody nobody thought you could be" and "Every sunset is an opportunity to reset"), "PEACE" on his bicep, and an upper back tattoo. *whispers "I love him"* Thanks @veemark
Ai [Ai Long Nhai] – Actor's actual tattoo. A crescent moon. Thanks @mushiemadarame for letting me know it's his.
Ayan [The Eclipse] – Actor’s actual tattoos. The thigh one is a G-Dragon lyric telling his mother not to worry about him. Hip tattoo is "beautiful" (seen in Only Friends) *A little salty about the hip one*
Boys with ponytails. Boys with short ponytails. Boys with little puff ponytails. Boys with ponytails on top of their head. Boys with tied back hair that isn't quite a ponytail. Boys with undercuts and ponytails on top. Boys with silky smooth and perfectly coiffed and controlled hair. Bad boys with ponytails. Sweet boys with ponytails.
Got tagged for the second time to do this, this time by @kennyomegasweave so I'm gonna do another 10 BL baddies I wouldn't mind handing over the panties to.
Forth from 2MOONS2. Pavel always been FOINE and I absolutely LOVED him as Forth. We love a bi motorcycle boy!!!! And he knew exactly what he wanted.
Dr. Tin from Triage. He's smart, kind, thoughtful, AND FOINE! I've always had a crush on Tae tho...ever since OG 2Moons.
Tee from Gap the Series. STILL MAD HER STORYLINE WITH YURI GOT CUT! I know she could take me to heaven, like I know she know a couple thangs.
Miss Tiffy from Lovely Writer. I want her to call me Baby Girl and invite me to ride on the back of her motorcycle and make sure I hold on to her tight. Zorzo is so fucking incredibly FOINE!
Inspector M from Manner of Death. It's ACAB til I die BUT I want him to wear the uniform and strip it off for me. Since he's trash at his job he can use his handcuffs on me, I know they getting dusty in that holster.
Gao Shi De from We Best Love. Specifically s2 Shi De because he looked tf good in that season and he better wear those office jeans when he comes over.
Yiwa from Wedding Plan. Please she's so cute and funny and charming. I love her. I wanted to be Marine so bad!
Kim Jun Ho from Kissable Lips. I want this vampire to drain me...in every way.
Nozue from Old Fashion Cupcake. He's so charmingly simple and handsome and so flirty. I love this man.
Choco from Choco Milk Shake. Listen...I know he's a dog, like literally a pet, but that man is BIG! And at least I know he's loyal...it's in his DNA.
In La Pluie, we know Lomfon has eyes for Tai. I was wondering if you knew similar BLs where someone from the secondary ships had eyes on someone from the main ship (bonus for some sweet sweet angst)
Alternatively, has it ever happened that the person from secondary ship successfully breaks up the main ship and gets the guy! Basically swapping ships lol
Yes, this is actually not uncommon, especially in the pulps. It's and OLD one.
But it's more a love triangle but one corner of the triangles gets a consolation prize boy relationship.
I don't love this one, frankly, so I don't really track it.
Here are a few off the top of my head.
someone from the side dish had eyes on someone from the main couple
2gether
2Moons2
(I actually love this one)
Brothers... kinda? We don't talk about it.
Check Out
(for like 5 seconds of hyung and we are MAD we didn't get more .. i speak for all of fandom in this matter)
Cutie Pie
Did you forget how TutorYim started?
Destiny Seeker
Another one I LOVED.
Enchante
En of Love series (if you count that style a lot of the sampler pack BLs have this like Y-Destiny)
In Gen Y 2 2 RIVALS GET EACH OTHER!!!
KinnPorsche
In his warped little way.
My Engineer
My Gear and Your Gown
Moonlight Chicken (kinda)
My Secret Love
Yeah, I would have chosen him instead, too. Who wouldn't?
Never Let Me Go
The Promise (last ditch attempt)
Tonhon Chonlatee (last ditch repair - the only thing I miss about this thow is Na + his sun glasses + hi boy toy)
Top Secret Together (oh whatever I don't remember the deets)
TharnType 2 (Fiat anyone?)
Many of these aren't as blatent as La Pluie, but these shows were all activating tropes passively without thought. La Pluie is explicitly examining the tropes themselves as part of its narrative journey.
Has it ever happened that the person from secondary ship successfully breaks up the main ship?
A case could be made for I Am Your King 2 in this matter. But this is rare because it messes with the core arcs of the romance genre so its watcher divisive and usually alienates viewers. IAYK2 did this to me.
Incidentally both IMYK are now on iQIYI. I do not recommend them, though.
And also this one favorite of mine in Love By Chance 2, but it's not the main couple its one of mame's MANY sides.
Idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not but I can’t watch BL actors perform cuz it looks cringe to me😭😭 like I just saw a clip of some actors dancing or rather thrusting on stage and all I could do is grimace😭😭 like my second hand embarrassment was over the ROOF. Never wanna see clips ever again.
