Your essay on Joong's underrated acting skills deepened my Joong appreciation so much, that I watched Mafia the Series, I'm watching Ploy's Yearbook (even though there is a serious lack of Joong so far), and I'm planning on watching The Warp Effect too. I haven't watched het shows in over ten years, so this is a big deal! 😂 I really liked him with Dunk in their shows, but MTS gave me another facet of him, because he's so timid in it, unlike in SIMM and HA, where he's (seemingly) very cool and in control. So thank you for making me a full time Joong (and Dunk) girl 💜
i saw this message first thing in the morning when i woke up yesterday and it instantly put me in a good mood!!! <3
YESSSSSS I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT
mafia the series might actually be my absolute fave thai het-show, it's just SO funny!!!! and the entire cast is so great, like, not just joong but the entire cast plays off each other SO well. and don't even get me started on gina virahya and her portrayal of anna kondra!!!!
you know, when i went into mafia the series i saw the poster and was like "ughh i really am gonna have to sit through this standard (overly) dramatic mafia show just for joong, huh. the things i do for my boy..." and then. AND THEN. you can imagine my surprise. i was crying tears of laughter throughout the show and i was actually laughing so hard that my mom made a comment about how she could hear my laugh in my room
beam is my loser boy and joong portrays him in such an adorably awkward way, i love it <333
and yes there IS a serious lack of joong in ploy's yearbook so far :((((
it was quite funny tho bc in the one scene where joong does show up i immediately recognized him by the back of his head, like!! i saw this:
and instantly went "OH there's my boy!!!!!" 😂😂😂
and i can't wait to see him with film bc film did extremely well with gun in not me and i feel like film and joong will also work together really well
you know, i'm always happy to turn people into full time joong (and dunk) girls!!!!!!
i've adored them ever since simm which i watched live from ep2 onwards. fun fact, actually: when i started simm i actually had no idea who they were (even though technically i'd seen dunk in bad buddy already, except i wasn't paying attention to the random high school bandmates and so i didn't actually recognize dunk and only realized later on ahahah)
aaaanyway, i had no idea who they were, right? and so in 2022 my mom and i spent two nights in prague during easter and in the evening we were in our hotel room and we were kinda looking for something to watch. and i was like "hey look, gmmtv has a new bl out and it looks kinda cute and fluffy judging by the thumbnails?? and like something that doesn't require too much brain power?? plus, there's also only two eps out so far, so we'll be caught up right away" and so we watched the first two episodes and then the two of us ended up watching every new ep together every week hahaha
i actually didn't really talk about it on tumblr back then and when you go back on my blog you'll see that there are hardly any simm post. but really, with every new simm episode that aired i liked joongdunk more and more. and especially once the characters started dating i was actually so in awe about just how comfortable joong and dunk were with each other and how they absolutely weren't afraid to touch? like, their physical affection was just so casual, like it was the most natural thing in the world to them in an "i'm-not-even-thinking-about-it-bc-it's-so-normal" kind of way and that was just soooo refreshing to watch?? i was (and still am) truly amazed
and when just a couple of months later, at the end of 2022 gmmtv announced joongdunk were gonna get another show together i got SO excited!! and also when it was revealed that simm was included in our skyy 2!!!!
and then hidden agenda started airing and then i was tagged in that tag game and then i went to watch joong's entire filmography and then i ended up falling into a joongdunk rabbit hole and here we are...
anyway, i have multiple agendas and one of them is turning people into joong fans and dunk fans and joongdunk fans sllksdfd
and my other agenda is getting people to watch mafia the series, bc it's truly a gem of a show!!!!
(speaking of agendas: the only thing that's missing in your message is you telling me that you approve of my fight for a sexy joongdunk vampire bl, like... that would have made the message and the influence of my joong/dunk/joongdunk blogging complete 😂😂😂)

rey grew tired of the medcenter not long after her arrival. it was the last place she wanted to be. when she'd first woken up in her own room, more rest had hardly felt necessary. but everyone was so INSISTENT, and so she'd quietly made her peace with a single day spent in bed. how bad could it be?
somehow her compromise had turned into a full workup at the medcenter stretched out over two days. it was worse than she ever imagined; rey couldn't recall the last time she'd received so much medical attention. there was seemingly always a meddroid rolling around beeping at her, with another scan to run or a glass of juice for her to drink. it felt odd to be fussed over, a large DEPARTURE from nearly two decades spent eating nothing but survival rations on jakku, waiting out any sickness alone because there was nothing else to do about it.
each of her friends had been in and out of the room CONSTANTLY. on rotation, finn and poe and rose and connix and snap all continued to ask how she was feeling and if she needed anything. after the first hour or so, everyone seemed to stop finding it funny when she repeatedly answered yes, to get out of here.
probably, rey thinks, scrolling aimlessly through the datapad displaying her most recent test results, the person she has the best chance of convincing her own bed will serve the same purpose as the one in the medcenter is poe, or maybe kaydel, but it's not either of them that's with her, now -- it's thor, who hasn't left her side since she first opened her eyes and, she assumes, before then, too. it's likely poe or kaydel wouldn't be able to sneak her out of the medcenter without him noticing.
she sort of gets the sense he won't be thrilled with the suggestion, either. he has seemed SO WORRIED, these last few days. rey doesn't think she'll ever forget the look that was on his face when she woke up, turned her cheek and saw him slumped in the chair beside her, agonized and panicked and exhausted.
he only looks mildly better now that they've both showered and she's had yet to absorb into the force and disappear forever. rey can still read fear in the crease of his brow. she sees sadness set clearly in the downturned slant of his mouth. he's barely SMILED. they haven't had much of a chance to talk, with so much going on. things still feel strained between them.
but thor is in bed with her, and that's SOMETHING. privately, she thinks it's helped her build her energy back a little faster, the way the pair of them are crammed in together under the thin blanket, touching in more places than they aren't. the worn metal frame of the bed keeps creaking under their combined weight. he's arranged himself carefully around her, like rey is something fragile -- a folded paper crane that could tear apart if handled improperly.
it would be nice if someone BELIEVED her about feeling mostly fine. with a sigh, she sets the datapad aside, curling back in against thor's chest. rey moves to tug on his shirt, to get his attention, but falters when she finds him already looking at her. her hand hovers for a second before settling on his side anyway, stubbornly pulling him closer. "i want to get out of here," she says quietly. "my scans are fine. i want to be in my bed." and, frankly, if she has to be there, she'd like for him to be with her -- SHIRTLESS, preferably. she can't exactly say so in the middle of the medcenter, not with other people who are actually injured taking up the rest of the beds. is that really so much to ask for?
everyone still seems sort of angry with her. it's unsettling, especially when she already feels out of sorts from the fight and being hurt, from all the chaos of the last few days. it hasn't quite sunk in yet, and she's worried that too much time alone with her thoughts will prove detrimental. rey's itching to see the falcon again, to get her hands on some of the reports coming in from the smaller rebellions sparking up across the galaxy. wars don't just end overnight; surely there is still SO MUCH to be done. and she wants to HELP -- it's partly why she'd fought so hard to live.
frustrated, her fingers twist in his shirt. would it kill him to hold her properly? she knows things are strange between them, but it feels like someone who's as visibly glad to see her alive as he is could stand to squeeze her a little tighter. she shakes her head. "actually... i want to go OUTSIDE. i can't sit here like this anymore, i'm losing my mind. and i want -- i want..."
rey trails off, her stare pleading. the other reason she'd fought so hard to live stares back at her from across the bed. she tries not to get lost in his eyes; it hardly seems like the time. more than anything, she wants things between the two of them to be like they were. rey's missed him so badly. not having thor around to talk to these last few weeks has been awful, though now that he's here, she's not even sure where to start. admittedly, she's OVERWHELMED.
"can we just go somewhere else, please? where we can talk. and you can stop looking at me like THAT. i can't stand having you look at me like that."
