There's a very real possibility that KinnPorsche could have just obliterated audience interest in BL at its current standard. From what I've been reading, things like metadata and analytics are showing plummeting interest in BL at its current standard, with almost no eyes coming across posts that don't have a KP hashtag on it. And it seems sponsors are seeing pretty big returns as well. That Royal Farmhouse bread from episode 8 sold out lmao.

What I'm saying is BOC walked in the door with almost no experience and made a BL that slapped so hard, it's looking like it's going to reset the entire industry. KP is making audiences laugh at other BL's. And you know what? Good.

I'm tired of bad acting, I'm tired of waiting an entire season to watch two tragically heterosexual actors have a dead fish kiss, I'm tired of the industry's refusal to hire queer talent, when it could be a real boon in a country like Thailand, where men are flat out too homophobic to portray these roles convincingly, I'm tired of college campuses, of the same story told a thousand times with new characters, and studios hiring actors so bad they have to change the cast in the second season. I'm tired of this industry turning queer people into a joke. It's why I only rolled my eyes at Build's stupid-ass Tweets. Because I know why I think he didn't delete them, and I think there's a lot of savvy audience members who have reason to know as well. That's all I'll say on that.

I think it's important that audiences show their financial support in any way they can, even if it's just the act of enabling ads on BOC's Youtube channel. The thing about me is that I don't like BL. I've maybe sat through six in their entirety, despite the vast catalog of these things that exist, because as a queer viewer, I just can't stomach the straight girl bullshit they're on with these yaoi tropes, if I can be blunt. I don't mind sexy in these shows. The queer community is infinitely more sexual than the straight one, because we don't have all those heteronormative hang-ups regarding sex. If straight girls wanna sex that shit up, I say let your freak flags fly. We stan sex positivity in this house.

That being said, I'm pushing 40. I grew up during the time when LGBTQ+ content wasn't simply getting made. Xena gave lesbians a few drops of Sapphic subtext 20 years ago and they're still driving Subarus. That's how thirsty people were for queer content in my day. That's my primary motivation. I just want good art merged with queer content and BL is the first genre I've ever encountered where there's a chance I can have that in meaningful amounts. We don't even have that here in America. Just look at the CW, an ostensibly queer friendly network, and what it did with Destiel. Malex, the most popular ship on the train wreck that is Roswell, New Mexico, got a literally 3 second sex scene, while straight girls got to ride their men like rodeo bulls. I want BL to do better.

I'm damn near willing to empty my bank account tomorrow and just give it all to BOC for what they've done. No matter how you feel about this show, it's going to change the face of BL, and I can't fucking wait.

Really?? Nicolas Cage and the Art of Weirdness

It’s kind of strange that Nicolas Cage is the star of National Treasure, right? Tame, family-friendly Disney flicks aren’t exactly his brand.

While the casting still strikes me as an odd choice sometimes, I am eternally, supremely, primordially grateful that he took the role of Ben Gates.

As I touched on while discussing Abigail’s Accent, National Treasure isn’t a film with a lot of subtly or nuance. At least, it wasn’t going to be until it slowly morphed throughout production, as giant collaborative projects tend to do.

Just like Diane Kruger brought nuance and depth to the role of Abigail Chase through both her acting choices and the presence of her accent, Nicolas Cage transformed Ben Gates from a generic action-adventure hero into something far superior: an awkward, obsessive forty year old man.

To fully appreciate the Nic Cage of it all, let’s begin with what the role looked like before he signed on.

More ↓

For those unfamiliar, there’s a version of the National Treasure script available online that’s dated from the month before Cage signed on as the lead. It’s hugely fascinating in the ways it’s the same as, and also wildly different from, the finished film. You can read more about it here.

Age

The first major effect casting had was changing Ben’s age. In the 2003 script he’s introduced as

…intrepid explorer BEN GATES(late 20s, strong family resemblance)

Obviously Nic Cage was not in his late 20s in 2004. Born in 1964, he was 39/40 when the film shot and 40 by the time it came out.

We know from Ben Gates’ drivers license that his character is supposed to be 39 in the first film, as his birthday is shown as May 1965. Why the one year difference? Hollywood is allergic to people over 40. Next question.

So, Ben went from a 20-something to a (basically) 40 year old man. And that changed the story in a few subtle but important ways.

First, it makes Ben’s quest take on a different flavor. To be in your late 20s and still chasing a pipe dream is not that unusual or socially unacceptable. People in their 20s do stupid, impulsive, risky things. They are socially ‘allowed’ to be a mess. At 40, not so much. Ben’s peers have houses and families and kids who need to be taken to soccer practice.

This makes a difference to me because it emphasizes the desperation of Ben’s quest, and his absolutely unwavering belief in the treasure. It also paints a starker contrast between Ben and his father, because when Patrick was 29 he was still gallivanting around treasure hunting too. By the time Patrick was the age Ben is now, he had disavowed treasure hunting and “grown up” into a normal life. But Ben just won’t let go. The older Ben gets, the less hope Patrick has that he will eventually grow out of it. At 29 that kind of hope would still feel possible for his son. At 39, it probably doesn’t.

Hotness

I’m so sorry that we have to talk about this, but we do.

Ben Gates was clearly written to be played by a hot young actor. That’s hot as in popular, and also as in sexy.* A typically implausibly fit and handsome leading man. This is evidenced not only by his age, but by the two (2) shirtless scenes written for Ben in the 2003 script.

Ben Gates is supposed to be hot.

And Nicolas Cage is...I'm not going to say "not hot," lord knows I'm on the being-normal-about-that-old-man webbed site but sex appeal not the primary reason you cast him.

What Nic Cage is know for is being weird.

*I’m aroace and vaguely sapphic, help me I don’t know what I’m doing here.

Weirdness

Weird. Eccentric. Zany. Over-the-top. Melodramatic.

These are the qualities Nicolas Cage is famous for, but they aren’t qualities the role of Ben Gates necessarily calls for. In fact, too far in any of these directions, and the performance could push an already implausible movie over the edge into farce. We wouldn’t take Ben or his quest seriously enough to get invested in the story.

But Nicolas Cage knew that. For as absurd as the iconic “I’m gonna steal the Declaration of Independence” line is, it's the premise that's ridiculous, not the performance. This isn’t the place to find one of Cage's signature zany performances. Search any number of "Craziest Nicolas Cage performances" lists and National Treasure won't rank. He tones it down enough that Ben feels like a rather grounded person in an over-the-top story.

However, he doesn’t tone it down completely, and that is so important.

The little places where Cage lets a hint of his signature weirdness flicker through round out Ben as a character, and give him more (or at least a different flavor of) nuance than he might have had in other hands, particularly if he were cast and played as a typically suave and macho leading man.

Case Study (Cage Study?)

Let’s look at this line from the 2003 script. This is what the FBI has to say when they’re searching Ben’s apartment.

AGENT JOHNSON Profilers say we're looking at an adult male, a loner, has a high IQ but has never been able to hold down a job, is socially inept, has probably written numerous letters to the White House expressing antigovernment sentiments. We're expecting him to contact us shortly with ransom demands.

This line is supposed to show us how off the mark the FBI is in their theory. The joke is that they’re all wrong about Ben.

Except, are they?

In this version of the script, every one of these items after “adult male” is incorrect.

Ben’s not a loner; he’s been working with Riley for 7 years.

He hasn’t not been able to hold down a job, he’s been salvage diving and treasure hunting consistently.

He’s not socially inept; he’s a ladies man. We hear multiple references to past girlfriends, and of course there’s Patrick’s assumption that Abigail's pregnant.

And obviously he hasn’t expressed anti-government sentiment and has no plans to ransom the Declaration, even in exchange for his own freedom.

What I want to argue here is that with the casting of Nicolas Cage, most of these false assumptions about Ben became true, at least a little bit. Of course there were many forces at work shaping the final tone and content of the film, but all of them—writing, directing, acting, costume design, etc—became oriented around fitting this character to the man playing him.

Loner

In the final film, Ben is a bit of a loner. He doesn’t seem to have known Riley for that long, and he immediately gets betrayed by the only other person he’s close to. His status as an outsider is emphasized by the fact that he and his family have been ostracized from the historical community.

In the 2003 script, this element isn’t present and Ben gives a fake name for other reasons. We also meet his landlady, whom he’s very kind to, and hear about at least one former girlfriend. In short, we get a sense of the web of people in Ben’s life outside of the treasure hunt. In the final film, Ben is seemingly much more isolated.

Job

We also get no evidence about Ben’s job. The 2003 script makes multiple references to Ben working as a salvage diver, which might not be what he hopes for, but it is a clear profession. In the final movie we only get reference to Ben being trained at the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center, which implies that he’s qualified to work at a salvage diver, but gives no indication that this is what he regularly does for work.

We also have Patrick saying:

PATRICK I have a job, a house, health insurance. What do you have?

The contrast makes it clear that Ben doesn’t have any kind of consistent job. Now, my guess is he does still work salvage jobs in this version, and that’s how he affords his apartment and the other things he needs to keep treasure hunting, but it’s never directly mentioned.

As to why he doesn’t hold down a job, the obvious answer is that it would interfere with his relentless pursuit of the Charlotte and the Templar Treasure. It makes sense that he simply chooses not to keep a consistent job because that’s not compatible with his goals. However, I want to raise the possibility that Ben would struggle to hold down a job even if he tried. If, say, he needed some expensive new diving equipment and took a several months long “normal” job in order to afford it, I think he’d be constantly distracted by the treasure and might quit and/or get fired the next time he needed to dash off on a lead.

Socially inept

Likewise, in the final movie, Ben is charming and clever and all the things a leading man is supposed to be, and also awkward and fairly socially clueless.

On the Charlotte he seems surprised that Ian and his guys turn out to be armed criminals, so either he was so desperate for resources and support to continue the hunt that he’s in denial or he’s very bad at reading people. Or at least, very bad at reading Ian. Maybe both. (There’s also the matter of his very poor attempt at bluffing in this scene.)

He’s awkward with Abigail in their meeting in her office, and even more awkward giving the toast. She even points out to him that he says the poetic things that are on his mind even though most people know they're not supposed to do that.

Then of course we have the “cavalier in my personal life” exchange, which I plan to dig into in depth at a later time, but for now let’s leave it at: Ben is not always on the same page as the people he’s in relationships with.

And there’s the very strange reading of the line “really?” after Ben and Abigail survive the collapsing staircase sequence. He’s amazed that he’s met someone who would also prioritize a historical artifact over personal safety, and he delivers the line just…weirdly.

Conclusion

He’s weird! (affectionate)

Ben Gates is a weird guy!

By the final film, Ben Gates had become a hybrid of the thing he was always supposed to be—a suave, swashbuckling hero—and the thing he was not supposed to be—a weirdo outcast on the fringes of society.

To draw a comparison to another popular Disney adventure flick that came out the year before: Ben was supposed to be the Will Turner of National Treasure, the hunky young underdog who always gets the girl. By casting Nicolas Cage and letting him bring a little history and a little weirdness to the role, Ben Gates ended up edging just a liiiiiiittle bit into Jack Sparrow territory as well.

He occupies both spaces, and I think that duality serves to deepen his character and make him far more interesting than if he was a straight-forward action-adventure hero.

Hooray for weird middle-aged men.

I feel you linger in the air หอมกลิ่นความรัก Ep 2

This continues to be a liiiittle slow at times, but when it flows? it FLOWS. Also it's very, very pretty still, the framing and the shots are really nice.

That getting changed montage was a work of art, but also: props to Jom; I did NOT manage to figure out how to put those trousers on the one time I had the chance and had to get help. And speaking of clothes, I cannot place this-- from Khun Yai's mother's clothes I'd expect maybe the 1920s or even the Khun Chaai era (30s/40s), but from everyone else's I'd say much earlier … otoh some of the women's skirts show their knees, so what gives? Did they tell us the year and I just missed it? ALSO. Why was James wearing this extremely sporty and informal cap to an event that is probably not at all informal or sporty???

Lots of familiar faces this episode – Mae Prik (Akk's mother in The Eclipse), Khamtip (Annie's mother in Mama Gogo, Ying in Step by Step), Khun Lek (young Nabsip in Lovely Writer, young Mew in UMG), James (hot-headed rugby player with the brow and the gun in Bad Buddy) …

Had a good laugh at the food sequence because a) not an unreasonable reaction on Jom's part b) I'd try all of that anyway and c) curried steamed pig brain sausage / แอ็บอ่องออ is what defeated Tian in ATOTS, too.

Sapphics!!! Nothing going on (yet) to support that hypothesis but I'm sticking with it for now. And Phueng gets to be surprisingly vicious and to-the-point with her husband – I was not expecting that.

I would not want to be in Ming's position. He just wanted to help and all the one he's helped is doing is getting into trouble, much of which reflects badly on Ming. Bet Ming is rueing the day he scraped Jon up from the riverside, poor kid. Good of him to be like "kid gloves are off, you're learning to row a boat yourself gdi".

Jom needs to get better at committing to the "I'm getting flashes of memories but none of them make sense" bit, and at reading the room – I get that this is all freaky as hell, but the way he would not back down with who he thought was Jeeb? Not cool. She was clearly scared and uncomfortable.

This show does a lot of the explaining to the audience stuff really well. I love the, whatsit, peekaboo framing? and also. Hope the piglet is SO cute. Help.

Hey, SpongeBob fandom!

I’m almost done with my ultimate SpongeBob ships tier list. However, I still feel like there are a few ships I missed, especially those involving incidentals

If you have any obscure but sincere SpongeBob ships, whether they feature main, supporting or background characters, feel free to reblog this post with additions or send me an ask / dm! I appreciate it!!

And this is optional, but if you can provide proof that at least one person has shipped it or even considered it in the past, that would be great :] (Proof can be anything from fanart to “I’m the only one who ships it, tho I don’t post about it”)

These are the incidental ships that are included in the tier so far:

Incidental 92 x Incidental 82 (Dennis x Mable)

Incidental 41 x Incidental 40 (Nat x Harold)

Incidental 41 x Incidental 45 (Nat x Shubie)

Incidental 8 x Incidental 14 (Tina x Evelyn)

Incidental 40 x Incidental 1 (Tom x Fred)

(P.S. I could’ve sworn I once saw sapphic ship art with Incidental 7 / Nancy Suzy Fish but I can’t find it now or remember who she was shipped with)

Top 10s Meme

I was tagged by @thisbluespirit - thanks for the tag (I think! 😜)

Rules: List your “top 10” (or up to 10 if you haven’t written that many) fics ranked by kudos on AO3. Are you surprised by what’s most popular to your readers? Then, under a cut, provide your ranking of your personal top 10 fics (with explanations if you want!), and then tag a few fellow writers!

My top 10 fics by kudos:

Letters to a Naturalist (Holby City) (30,350 words) Kudos: 203

Jason Haynes: Matchmaker (Holby City) (17,560 words) Kudos: 186

The Red String of Fate (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV)) (51,896 words) Kudos: 183

One Life Stand (Holby City) (33,815 words) Kudos: 161

The Hacktivist, The Agent, and the Clairvoyant (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV), Thor (Movies)) (35,849 words) Kudos: 155

The Locum (Holby City) (9,202 words) Kudos: 148

Bean and Gone (Holby City) (11,880 words) Kudos: 147

It's not a date - it's just dinner at a fancy restaurant (Holby City) (9,100 words) Kudos: 138

Action and Reaction (Star Trek: Discovery) (1,783 words) Kudos: 135

Berenice Wolfe's Romantic Heart (Holby City) (6,000 words) Kudos: 13

I guess my only surprise is that there’s only one Disco (Star Trek: Discovery) fic in there, but it’s rather nice that apart from #3 and #5, they’re all Sapphic fics! Actually, I’m slightly surprised there are no James Bond (Craig)/M (Dench) fics in my Top 10 - in fact, I’ve just checked and I’d have to list my Top **40** before I hit a Bond fic - and then it doesn’t even have 100 Kudos! (Mind, I’m not complaining that my Holby fics are vastly more popular!)

I haven’t really considered which are my Top 10 fics - I like things when I’m writing them, then I don’t tend to give them much thought because I’ve already moved on to writing something else!!

But, that said (and in no particular order because Dammit, Janet, I am not gonna try to rank my own fics!):

Letters to a Naturalist (30,350 words) (Holby City) - this one is ALWAYS gonna be a fave because it was a fic I wrote over several months, sending copies of physical letters used in the fic to a member of the Berena fandom and at the time I got a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction out of doing it that way.

Snapshots: Four New Beginnings (12,960 words) (Holby City) - I had great fun giving Bernie different careers in the Arts and finding ways for her and Serena to meet.

The Name's Wolfe, Berenice Wolfe: 007, Licensed to Thrill (3,200 words) (Holby City) - and on the topic of AUs, Bernie Wolfe as a 007 Agent was just a fun way to combine an old fandom (Bond) with a new one.

The Long Road to Happiness (8,140 words) (Holby City) - oh look ANOTHER AU! Quelle surprise! 😜 This time Bernie and Serena were child actors together and Bernie fell in love, but Serena gave up acting, got married, had a child, and Bernie continued to carry a torch...

McKinnie and Wolfe: Monster Hunters (6,000 words) (Holby City) - written for a Holby Monster Mash and inspired by a collection of short stories by a favourite author, I just had great fun with this one.

Lascia Ch'io Pianga (Let Me Lament My Cruel Fate) (750 words) (James Bond) - the first time I’ve ever written a fic with an ambiguous ending. Funny thing is, some readers asked me to write a second chapter or sequel fic and I did try, but I just couldn’t make it work.

Sing In Me, Muse (1,362 words) (Star Trek: Discovery) - this was an AU fix-it for S1 of Disco and I love its simplicity and tenderness.

Beyond the Battle at the Binary Stars I (768 words) & Beyond the Battle at the Binary Stars II (1,379 words) (Star Trek: Discovery) - another AU fix-it for S1 of Disco in 2 parts that I found deeply satisfying to write.

Joy Is Not Made To Be A Crumb (8,500 words) (Doctor Who 2005) - a rarepair ship (Kate Stewart and Martha Jones) that I’ve always known will never attain any kind of popularity, but I don’t care - I just love writing them!

The Winter Queen, The Summer King, and the Spring Knight (9,536 words) (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) - this only has 30 Kudos, but I like it because it takes the mythology of AoS and combines it with fairytale and I think I did that rather neatly.

Who to tag? Well: @slightlyintimidating @doctorjameswatson @lapalfruity @daisydoctor13 @ceridwyn2 @riversofmars @meluisart @onaperduamedee @backjustforberena @hokuspokusthings - with the usual caveat that you don’t have to participate if you’re not feeling it.

Who am I? I guess it's time for an introduction!

My name is Tiffany (she/her) and I'm a butch/femme romance fiction author. I'm also a stroke survivor who's been happily married to the love of her life for 25 years. We have an awesome 18-year-old daughter and I was once a pretty well-known curly hair specialist in Florida. (I became an author when I couldn't do hair anymore—stupid stroke). I'm obsessed with classic 70's music, am a huge foodie, and identify as pagan.

I write happily-ever-after books within the sensual, passionate b/f dynamic. Those of us who live in this world sometimes need an escape from the messy realities of our lives, and that's what I bring to people. Life sadly doesn't always imitate art, but at least I can provide a diversion once in a while. While the subjects in my books can get a little hairy at times—stalking, domestic violence, loss/grieving, to name a few—there's always a happy ending. My books run the gamut from contemporary, romantic suspense, and paranormal to a series called The Dance, which is specifically geared toward the 40+ midlife crowd. You can find out more at https://www.tiffanyetaylor.com.

The butch/femme dynamic encompasses so many different flavors—from soft butch to stone femme—that it's impossible to pay homage to them all. My characters tend to be modeled on my own friends and spouse: harder butches, strong femmes, she/her pronouns. I have a Facebook group called Whimsical Dreams where we have discussions about my books, characters, upcoming releases, snippets of works in progress, etc. You are more than welcome to come and play with us:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/thewhimsicaldreams

I also started another FB group in late 2021 called Butch/Femme Sapphic Fiction Readers for readers, writers, and publishers of butch/femme fiction. In the world of sapphic fiction, the butch/femme dynamic isn't nearly as visible as it should be, but at least this gives readers a place to start.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/butchfemmesapphicfictionreaders/

So glad to be here!

I'm in my 40s, bi and I NEVER talk about who I'm dating. I have means and deal with people in the music business, polite society and politics. The reason I don't talk about it is because it detracts from the point at hand AND it's no ones business. I've dated someone for over a year before I even told my friends.

In Taylor's case,

Did you ever consider she's not with Karlie or has a baby with her?

Did you ever consider she's with someone else, who isn't Joe, maybe male or female?

Or maybe she's with Joe.

Maybe she's single.

The point being Taylor coming out takes away from her art, which is first and foremost who she is. Being gay/bi really only signals who you have sex with, nothing more, nothing less. Also, Europeans don't make a big deal about sexuality, this is an American thing. Taylor loves Europe, so do I.

The reason any of us are even here is because Taylor has been silently screaming about being queer for years. There is no other artist out there today that references as many historically queer artists, writers, musicians. No one else at her level who is constantly deciding to share her recommendations of current queer songs/tv shows/movies/media. We are here because she WANTS us to be here. She constantly makes gay ass art. She is doing that, no one in this fandom is forcing her to. Did I make her write Ivy? Nope she did that insanely sapphic lesbian shit all on her own. Being queer is obviously important to her and it’s obviously something she desperately wants people to covertly (and maybe someday openly) know about her.

My Top Posts in 2022:

MCU Punisher calling MCUPeter ‘kiddo’: Sweet in a kind of screwed up kinda way. Slightly concerned for the actual kid

Comics Punisher calling comics Peter ‘kiddo’: Absolutely hilarious and the only way to get under his skin because sir that man is 27 years old, with masters in science. Very much trying to puss him off.

Curtis: Frank, you could’ve asked for help if I knew you were gonna go around killin people??

My #1 post of 2022

not to be a tumblr old or whatever but i remember when the sapphic label/flag was first making the rounds on here and one of the first things that came in the wake of it was a push to make a comparable label/flag But For Boys. and the flag i remember seeing was pretty much verbatim the sapphic flag, But Blue, and it’s like.... man not everything needs to be about us! we don’t need to have our own version of everything! and we ESPECIALLY do not need it to be all in blues/greens “so everyone knows it’s about men” like that is KINDERGARTEN level gender roles and cis/heteronormative!!!

and another thing that kills me about it is that like. there ARE flags that are specific to the identities of gay men that have been around for fucking ages! there’s a bear flag that’s been around for decades and looks awesome! there’s a twink flag that’s existed since at least 2000 and it breaks my heart that it’s so underused/hard to find because it’s SOOOOOOO cute!!

honestly though what it really comes down to is respecting and honoring the culture and history of gilbert baker and his rainbow flag. it is NOT anyone’s fault that the rainbow has been so co-opted by corporations, and we don’t do our community any favors by forgetting what the rainbow flag was created to represent. is it not beautiful that the rainbow flag is for all of us? all of the colors standing together to hold us all, just like we’re all supposed to look out for each other?
