Top 10 Great BLs That Are REALLY hard to find (but worth tracking down)
But you may want to go hunting anyway!
Seven Days
Seven Days: Monday-Thursday
Seven Days: Friday-Sunday
Japan 2015
Never doubt my ability to recommend this show. One of the best live action yaois ever made, with perfectly structured angst, fantastic characters and acting, and no problematic tropes (rare in Japanese BL). The leads have excellent chemistry although it’s low heat there’s still some really cute mutual kisses.
Cherry Magic AKA 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii
Japan 2020
The sweetest fluffiest magical realism BL, packaged as a pinning office romance, very low heat (practically chaste) but the cutest. It’s truly great.
Cherry Magic Thailand
Thai 2024
A soft charming warm hug of a show about crushes and mind reading and self worth, with no-fuss execution from a consummate team and an OG lead pair proving why they remain eternal and deserve to grow up. Look, here’s the thing, Cherry Magic is a great Thai BL in its own right not comparing it to any other iteration. But even when I do compare (and I've seen all the Cherries and read the manga) it still stands. I personally like it slightly better than the Japanese live action, but I think that’s because I just really like Thai BL and I LOVE TayNew. Also all the kissing was both present and better than any other iteration. As it should be from Thailand.
I Feel You Linger in the Air
Thai 2023
IFYLITA is an exquisite BL, from filming techniques to narrative framework (much like Until We Meet Again). Steeped in history and family drama it edges into lakorn (but no as much as To Sir With Love and with way less scenery chewing). This is an elegant and classy BL... from Thailand which normally doesn't even try for classy. The main couple (both as a pair and individuals) were excellent, particularly Bright (Yai) whose eye-work acting style is a personal favorite of mine. Pity about the ending. Oh it wasn’t that sad but it wasn’t good either. This show could easily have earned a 10/10 from me except that it fumbled the… erm… balls in the final quarter. Argh. Whatever.
All about the ecstasy and the agony here.
Restart After Come Back Home AKA Risutato wa tadaima no ato de
Japan 2020
Atmospheric study in rural Japan meets complex family dynamics built on a romance framework of city boy meets country boy, grumpy/sunshine. It’s beautiful and icy sweet. Slow moving in places but ultimately worth the patience, low heat, low angst, and stunning.
Given
Japan 2021
Boy joins band, falls in love with other boy. The singing is terrible, fast forward through that but with the possible exception of the hair styles, this BL could have been made in 2015 and no one would be surprised. As such, it wasn’t ground breaking, but it didn’t disappoint either.
Make a Wish
Thai 2023
A doctor who can see the dead strikes a bargain with a wish-granting irreverent tree angel - naturally they fall in love (from Sammon: Manner of Death & Triage). Stars Fluke Natouch opposite not Ohm, but who cares because Fluke has chemistry with everybody. Once again the Thai afterlife is incredibly bureaucratic but I enjoyed the premise and the unfolding of the story (it’s not predictable but still satisfying and with nice little twist). I like that the doctor is just gay AF - fag hag bestie and all the swagger. The cast is excellent but the comedic stylings are a bit overblown and tonally off. It had sad parts and did make me cry but is ultimately happy with a great sex scene, good smiley kisses, and all the agency.
2 Moons The Ambassador AKA 2 Moons 3
Thai 2022
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 satisfying to watch than they started out. 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. All that said I find this show oddly appealing and rewatchable and I have no excuses for that.
I Want to See Only You AKA Kimi no Koto Dake Mite Itai
Japan 2022
This is a beautiful, well acted piece of cinema, about two boys who are opposite personalities and grew up together. Gifted and serious Sakura pines after outgoing eccentric manic pixie dream boy, Yuma. It is very pretty and this is the kind of atmospheric elegantly performed BL that only really comes from Japan (complete with dead fish kisses - what you though Korea invented them? oh no).
Triage
Thai 2022
BL does Groundhog Day featuring a doctor stuck in a time loop who must save a poor little rich boy from death by seducing the stuffing out of him, then PLOT TWIST, poor little rich boy must do the same for doctor! Unfortunately... stuffing keeps leaking. I thought the plot was engaging if a little redundant and occasionally exhausting. The pairs were all well done, low heat but with decent chemistry and the support characters were likeable (or unlikeable, as required). If anything, the romance arc detracted and distracted from the main plot, but that doesn't stop this from being a genuinely good show.
HONORABLE MENTION
Great Men Academy
Thai 2019
Bodyswap involving unicorns making a teenage girl into a boy makes this questionable as a BL (because, ya know, gender). But the fact remains that James is killer in the lead, and I (who do not like bodyswap) loved this damn show. Look, there is actual plot, hotties at boarding school, "bully the one you love" trope, some weird VR shit, very bad CGI, and yes, the boys end up together... whether they boys or not, so to speak.
Some of these shows may appear on a smaller streaming service, like WeTV, or they may be on a legal platform in your territory. I hope it goes without saying you should check there first.

For this weeks fiction podcast rec thursday:
Ethics town
[ID. The Cover of Ethics Town. It shows a drawn black top hat with a white stripe going across the base on a red background. On top of the hat there are the black silhouettes of city buildings with windows blocked out in white rectangles. On the middle of the hat the words ``Ethics Town” is written in a blocky font that gradients from white to a mid grey, starting from the top of each letter./End ID]
Summary as given, “ Ethics Town is a cosmic horror podcast about philosophical conundrums in a weird small town! We're not going to answer the big questions for you, but we are going to dance around them in a fun and theatrical manner!
Listeners will follow January, a tired and wired Ethics local, and Artemis, a young girl lost in the woods, as they try to unravel what exactly is going on down in the town of Ethics now that the new mayor has taken office. Statistics and probability are exchanged for conspiracy theory logic as the pair try to explain weirder and weirder happenings.”
The first season of Ethics Town is completed with 8 episodes out now. And I believe that 2 more seasons are planned and the second is in production. The episode lengths average around 20-ish minutes long each. And both transcripts and content warnings are available under every episode!
Ethics Town is probably one of my favorite podcasts out there. It is amazing how they approach everything. It broke my heart into two by the end and it was worth it. And the voice acting is incredible! It was probably one of my favorite parts about it. It also made me think way more about philosophy then I have in a long time, which was nice.
They also have a tumblr @ethicstownpod !
And, I belive that concludes this instalment of fprt. Give advice or criticism on how I format these and I hope you can come next week

Throwback Thursday Fic Recs
For anyone looking for a little reading on a Thursday evening, enjoy a couple throwback favorites; one exclusive to Patreon and one publicly published on AO3. Going to try to theme it each week in some way. Feel free to leave a comment on the fic if you enjoyed it; it's always nice to give older fics a little love! ♥
Week's Theme: Keith doing something and Lance ending up hurt because of it
Beneath the Waves
Summary: Keith knows he can be reckless. And diving overboard into raging waters when he can’t really swim is most definitely reckless. But someone needed help and Keith couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
But now he’s the one in need of rescue.
Keith always knew his recklessness would one day catch up with him. He just… didn’t ever expect that it would be Lance paying the price.
Feel Like a Monster
Summary: It was just supposed to be a fight. Maybe not entirely for the right reasons, but Keith had known how it was supposed to go. They’d fight, he’d win and Lance would never bother him again. But that wasn’t how it had gone at all. And as yellow tinted eyes and sharp fangs set in a blood splattered, horrified face — the face of a Galra — stared at Keith in the sheen of his blade he realized that wasn’t himself looking back.
It was a monster. He’d unleashed a monster.
And Lance had paid the price.

#ThreeForThursday:
Franz Marc (German, 1880-1916)
Grazing Horses IV (The Red Horses), 1911
Oil on canvas, 121 x 183 cm (47 5/8 x 72 1/16 in.)
On display at Harvard Art Museums
“In 1911, deep in discussions with other members of the expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter and preoccupied with questions of color, Marc began work on Grazing Horses IV. Wishing to give form to inner experience and to free himself from formal constraints imposed by the outside world, he aimed to detach color from its descriptive function and assigned each primary color a specific symbolic value. As this painting's numeric title suggests, Marc returned repeatedly to the horse as a subject. He became well known for his preoccupation with animals, seeing them as the embodiment of a better, purer world, the bringers of spiritual renewal to Western culture.
Grazing Horses IV became the artist's first work to enter a museum collection, the same year it was made. Like Heckel's triptych and Kirchner's self-portrait nearby, the painting first belonged to the Folkwang Museum in Hagen (later in Essen), which was at the vanguard of contemporary art collecting in Germany at the time.
The painting was removed from the collection in 1937 as part of the National Socialist campaign to rid German museums of ‘degenerate art.’”

Yesterday I went for a walk with my guy and on a whim we decided to stop at a local cider place that was on the way since it was nice out and we were enjoying just being out and chatting. We aren't big drinkers and holy shit am i embarrassed to admit a pint glass took my ass OUT. We were messes. Like, not drunk and incapable of functioning, but definitely "oh holy shit I FEEL this and I'm in public so now I'm anxious about the fact that I can't feel my face."
...so we did the most logical thing possible and stopped at the book store just a few storefronts down. I have so many books on my bedside table waiting to be read but I still walked out with 4 new books and as soon as we got back to the apartment I called my mom to tell her about how I was excited to read these books about murder and existentialism over mortality...
The best part was my mom calling me after work today to ask if I'm okay and if I had a hangover. LMFAO No hangover and still excited about my murder books, we good.
Actual footage of me tipsy af in the mystery section:
#just rambling#probably delete later#cider is so tasty but man im a lightweight#Thursday Murder Club is a phenomenal book and i recommended it

So, as well as watching murder mysteries, I very much enjoy reading them, but I never thought of posting about the books I read here before. In all honesty, I'm not great at knowing how to write about books! But I thought I might give it a try
I recently read the fourth instalment in Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club series—a series which became an instant favourite when I read the first book a couple of years ago. And not a single book has disappointed since! Osman's style is snappy and he's able to balance wit and poignancy without ever becoming saccharine. Each character has a distinct voice, but it never feels jarring to switch between them each chapter.
And the latest book, The Last Devil To Die, might be my favourite yet! It's incredibly emotional—one part, which I won't spoil, but might not be the part anyone who's read it is thinking of, made me downright sob—but still funny and insightful and, more importantly, a damn good mystery. Very much looking forward to the new series—about a father in law & daughter in law detective duo—he teased in the notes at the end
