ramblings on Li Ming (and Heart) and homosexuality

moonlight chicken has so many things to offer in terms of technical beauty and interesting themes but what i cannot stop thinking about is the different ways they approach homosexuality in the story.

we have Wen who has a rainbow flag on his desk and pictures of him and Alan on the wall. Wen, who openly flirts with Jim and has no qualms talking openly about his one night stand. Wen, whose step father knows about his sexuality and is close enough with him to discuss his love life.

Kaipa we don’t know too much about. But his mom knows and is supportive and some of the vendors and the chicken family seem to know. But if anyone was questioning in what reality this show is set with all the class discussion and corona featuring, his part of the story shows that homophobia exists and he is worried about how he fits in with his own family, the expectations of his mother and possible the awareness that he makes the family he has “different”.

Jim is arguably even more visibly gay than Wen in terms of what we see throughout the show. He opened the shop with his ex, they prayed at the temple together and even though he objected due to proprities sake eventually they loudly declared their love to each other and the whole neighbourhood knows. Wen somehow feels like he is living in the remnants of a bubble: his circle of friends seems very queer, his closest friend and the whole gym seem to be all part of that as well. This only might change now with him questioning his work and breaking up with Alan: some gatherings he won’t attend anymore apparently.

And finally, we have Li Ming. At school he doesn’t seem to open up to his classmates on most things and additionally is in the closet. While there wasn’t anything alluding to homophobic rethoric being spread at school we can see how the heteronormativity gets to him and feel that there must be good reason as to why no one knows. And it could just be how Li Ming is judging the situation based on vibes, we don’t know. His mother is or at least was homophobic but at the same time he is raised by his gay uncle who is surrounded by other gay people. And I love how it feels like this might have given him enough security to be comfortable with his own sexuality but how it also isn’t enough to shield him from the world at large.

With so many great shows coming out of Thailand and most of them getting more and more political it just feels so real and 2023 to me that Li Ming is part of a generation that knows who they are but still have to battle with the shadow that homophobia has cast way before they were born.

#moonlight chicken #i had this in my draft for a week now thinking if i'd get the time i could put this more leloquently but that was a lie as it turns out #might edit some stuff later #but for now i just have to write about how fantastic this show is for giving these varied realities of queer life #which are all influenced by their environment but also in the way the characters connect across generations #we don't know if him had a gay mentor who could've guided him #whereas li ming technically has him and his neighbourhood friends to reference #but li ming - understandibly so - seems more closeted than anyone else (minus Heart possigly) #in middle school everyone around me proclaimed how supportive they were of lgbt+ rights #but as soon as one guy came out he become the TALK of the school for weeks #he got reduced to his sexuality #and when he dated a girls some months after he got called attention seeking for coming out as gay before #and most people thought they were doing an open-minded thing #and despite knowing that i know that i am not the only queer kid who decided to not come out lest we'd become that talk of the whole school #and our dating lives scrutinized #even though all of us were super comfortable with who we are #and for me that was mostly the case because i had adult lesbian role models close to my family #so i knew i was good and that nothing strange was going on #but still - this othering made the school environment hostile enough to keep me in the closet #so yes - i am extremely delighted with how they depict this dynamic with li ming

as upset as I am to miss it, I think it's somehow creepier that drowning didn't play on the basement tvs when it was supposed to in this part of the game

#mk.op #mk plays alan wake 2 #for the sixth time #another weird thing that's happened to me this playthrough lol #it might be because i didn't actually do what i was supposed to #i gotta get the pictures from the shoebox in the basement #got turned around and ended up in the tv safe room instead #so i wonder if i go do it and come back if drowning will play? #only one way to find out #edit: YUP my theory was right and now i'm watching the best part of the game

[mrstsung]

Ok look so i caved in and said fuck it. If I'm gonna have mk12/mk1 shang tsung.

I'm gonna write him my way. Fuck canon at this point. So nrs can suck it. I'm taking him from NRS.

Anyways. Here's some edits of my husband.

One pink edit and one reg sparkle edit.

He still makes me go *agshfjjflhlhlkl* and *exasperated squees* 💖💖💖💖

wann waren wir das letzte mal, das letzte mal wie eins?

#tatort stuttgart #was sitting in the rechtsbib trying to do my homework and then my brain was like hello. i realize what we're trying to do here but have you #considered. stuttgart schlachtbank vid centered around preis des lebens/gelobte land #and i was like FUCK well NOW i am #the only line i don't like so much is dein falsches mitleid but there wasn't a neat way to edit it out (unlike the first verse which didn't #suit my purposes either and just got mercilessly cut)

[symbioticsimplicity]

That ace vibe of "I know this person is incredibly attractive, but they're also saying something interesting could you please stop screaming I want to hear what they're saying."

#this is about kpop #like yeah i know hes hot and shirtless #but i wanted to hear the story hes telling about why he got that tattoo shut UP #or like when people put music edits over someone being hot but i remember the context of what they were saying #and that was more interesting than the edit now is #like yeah cool great muscles and pretty skin #this fucking nerd is also trying to give a really detailed breakdown of their thought process and I really want to know how they did that #I'll get back around to them being pretty once I'm done listening to what theyre actually saying #I'm pretty sure I'm gray ace #like i know theyre hot dont get me wrong it'll fluster me eventually #but only once i like them as a person and even then it only hit SOMETIMES #this is specifically about Christian Yu #hes gorgeous yeah but like I'm really a lot more fascinated by his creative process #it sounds similar to mine and thats not something I see often #asexual #ace tag #kpop #sam speaks

you know if you guys voted for stretch armstrong i probably would have shut up a lot sooner tonight

#so really this is all your fault /lh /j #i love thinking about h2o tho so im happy #VERY FUCKING TIRED THO WISH I COULD SLEEP #i think my brain is kicking into overdrive after being filled with cotton the past 3 days which. hey im glad ur back bud #CAN YOU SHUT UP NOW I NEED REST #i was just thinking because im probably not posting that essay i will summarize here (i saw #that privating it made it lose like 4 recently edited paragraphs and i don't want to type all that out again my memory isn't good enough) #it just boiled down to the pods basically making a self fulfilling prophecy by orphaning their sons and making them increasingly #desperate for connections to other people like them which is why i think erik behaves the way he does esp when ondina is around #like i am not excusing his actions in the slightest dont get me wrong here he really fucked up BUT #his last conversation with ondina before he goes to the chamber kind of sold that idea to me #how he scoffs at her saying rita says it's dangerous because she's 'old school' and of COURSE old school mermaids think all mermen are evil #and then starts adding on how he wants to do this for HER and get her home back for her by controlling it #like a bit of an add-on at the end to try and convince her #i think what he really wants is to be hailed as a hero. you know. validation and acceptance from the ppl who originally abandoned him #the OGs who made him feel like an outsider. the ppl who ripped everything away from him just bc of the way he was born (which is prob why #when he's trying to convince zac to help him he keeps bringing up their ancestors bc that's what unifies them) #i don't think he's an evil dude per se i think he thought stealing the trident stone from rita's grotto would be small peanuts in the past #once he finally got the pod to come home bc he genuinely (mistakenly) believed he COULD control the power of the chamber #i also think that's why the camera keeps focusing on his face when he's watching the others panic over #zac's sacrifice and i think he is feeling jealousy bc they are paying attention to him and not Erik #like that's not the face of someone who deeply regrets what they just did. my guy is just sitting there like 'that should be me rn' #i think that is why he also sounds so desperate to make things right with ondina afterwards. iirc he's just like 'wait no we can start ove #RIGHT?' and she's like 'uhhhh... no??????' (valid). my dude is lonely as fuck and he finally found a group of ppl like him and he messed up #big time just trying to get their attention and affection bc he couldn't just be normal abt it he had to go big or go home #like i kind of feel bad for him in a way #but i feel bad for everyone #i felt bad for denman the other day! that's how bad this is getting!! #i mean come on imagine making the scientific discovery of a LIFETIME only for all that shit to happen in a row #especially after you get your comeback. they just go right back to fucking you over again

#pickle pontificates #girl help is the lilyorcharddungeonmeshi video gonna be what finally drives me to make a video essay now that school's over #or am i just gonna watch it and rant to my sister and then forget about it as usual #OR am i gonna decide to be normal and not watch things i know are gonna make me mad #i barely know anything about The Discourse surrounding her and i do not care #i just know i saw the steven universe video and another one awhile back and i kept watching because i was hoping in good faith #that there would be A Point #but there never was #it's just a really weird anger and vitriol and attempt to justify not liking something by arguing that it's bad #and a stubborn insistence on analyzing the separate parts of a thing without even attempting to see whether there's anything #in how the parts fit together. like that's media analysis 101. you see what's there. you see how it fits together. you interpret it #you turn it around and play with the interpretations #you try to figure out what the author was trying to convey and then you look at what you got out of it and what others got out of it #you acknowledge that stuff can be good and you can still hate it. or you acknowledge that stuff can be bad and you can still like it #and you acknowledge that sometimes stuff is just neutral and may have different effects on different people #not just ''raaaaaagh this character did bad things and is therefore bad and irredeemable and there is no other option'' #newsflash babe. most characters are like that #and like. i acknowledge that there may be ragebait at play here #but i do like engaging with weirdo opinions sometimes because it gives me a chance to articulate my own feelings and investigate why #i feel that way #but i do have to be careful to make sure i'm not just getting off on being mad and falling down the hole for no reason so. we'll see #edit: i remember what it was now it was the writing tips video #it's the weird black and white there's only one way to do art and i'm right about it all the time attitude

👁👁 fine no spider cake then hmmm..... (looks around the room) -👻

Ah. I see you've noticed that I moved the spiders to a location where you can't touch them. If you go to the room where the spiders are they will be moved again. This will keep happening to ensure you cannot harm anymore spiders and eat them before I can get them all adopted out.

So far one has been adopted and one has been killed at your ghostly hands. The next move is on you and your fellow ghosts, as well as other askers and anons. Choose wisely.

#alright now we're getting into a new part of the bit #me being dramatic about it. #Zeisty's Askbox #Zeisty's Askbox Haunted Edition #Zeisty's Askbox Spider Edition #Zeisty's Askbox Radiation Part 3 Editon #this has got to end at some point because my wrists are starting to ache from writing these tags every single time #I could prolly do this forever if need be but I know there's only so far we can take this before it becomes a nuance to everyone around us #tw arachnophobia #for my peeps who need that tagged #it might've already outstayed its welcome so. just saying

i think i found a way to bring up bad buddy in my bachelor thesis, but i'm gonna have to restructure half of my plans

#originally i wanted to analyze the difficulties that come up when trying to translate thai pronouns and honorifics and polite particles #but then i was like ''shit i only got roughly 9000 words i'm gonna have to get more specific'' so i decided to focus on pronouns only #but unfortunately in bbs there isn't really something relating to pronouns only that causes difficulties in translation #there is plenty of other things that can be tricky to translate like pat's line username or the thing about pran's password #or in ep2 when pran's friends are discussing pat's note and how it's gotta be a guy from the use of ครับ (krub) #anyway if i somehow manage to restructure my thesis in a way where i actually CAN go back to my original plan #on focusing on all 3: pronouns and honorifics and polite particles #then that scene in ep2 pt3 where patpran are teasing each other about the dumplings/green tea drinks is actually perfect for my thesis!! #now i just gotta figure out how to talk about all 3 of these topics and still keep my thesis at around 9000 words.... #airenyah plappert #adrm #bbs #i have until friday to figure this out bc that's when i'm gonna have to hand in my exposé #edit: i'm so stupid if i go back to my original plan then that plan included bringing bbs into it anyway #that ep2 scene where the architecture gang is discussing pat's note is the perfect example #of a tricky spot when it comes to translating thai polite particles #usually when a sentence includes a polite particle you'd try to express the translation in a polite register too #but that's a moment where they're explicitly referencing a linguistic concept that just doesn't exist in english #so how are you gonna translate that for an audience who has no idea what polite particles are #and have the translation make sense for them #although on my bbs rewatch the past two nights i found one or the other moment relating to pronouns #that i might be able to use #we'll see
