people I'd like to get to know better

Thanks for the tag, @lilbittymonster!

Last Song Listened To: Today it's a lot from my Arianger playlist so have a few:

Currently Watching: Rewatching Shoresy season 2, and working my way through Bismuth's "The Complete History of the A Button Challenge" (thank you, @farfromdaylight)

Sweet/Savoury/Spicy?: Savory the most, though I like all three.

Relationship Status: Married.

Current Obsession: Urianger and FFXIV in general :) but specifically, going back over earlier parts of the game to remember things I've forgotten, see how far characters have come from where they started, and generally get to know the lore better.

bad buddy fandom getting-to-know-you meme!

tagged by @mahuhumaling and @galauvant, meme created by @fiercynn

note: i consider "fanworks" to pretty much everything people create related to a fandom, including but not limited to meta/analysis/discussion, gifs, fanvids/edits/fancams, filk, fanart, fanfic, fan food, fan crafts, etc. please include this note with the meme unless you have a different definition!

name and whatever you want to share about yourself I'm tpt! 30s, queer, brainweird, language nerd, been reading BL and slash and other queer lit since before the turn of the millennium and probably (hopefully) never gonna stop.

when did you watch bad buddy/join the fandom? I watched the first episode the day after it aired. Went in knowing nothing about it except the English title, which I thought was thoroughly unappealing, and the promo image. Came out of ep 1 convinced Paa was the only person with any sense on the entire show, but sufficiently intrigued (ointment sharing! Line ID shenanigans!) to keep watching. So I watched as it aired from ep 2, and when the bus stop scene rolled around, I blocked the airing time slot out in my calendar so I could watch live (which didn't work out for ALL eps, but … close enough). I did find a regular group to squee with after ep 5, but didn't really interact with fandom beyond that little bit of squeeing with friends and looking at fan art until after ep 9, I think. This was the first Thai BL show I watched week to week, and that also made it special to me.

favorite ship(s) Pat/Pran.

favorite character(s) Used to be Pran no contest, but Pat worked his way into my heart in the later episodes. couldn't choose now. they're all favourites.

favorite episode(s) I really love episodes 3-5 and 10/11. but honestly I love the show as a whole, and the episodes in the context they exist in. Except for the gun subplot.

favorite scene(s)  the opening sequence of ep 2! also episode 3 bus stop scene (and Pat's way of accomodating Pran in it), ep 4 sleepover scene, ep 5 Pat's realisation/the fight, ep 6 gate convo scene, ep 8 fight/apology scene, ep 9 hand-holding scene, ep 10 Our Song teaser scene and confrontation scenes, ep 11 affirmation/we got to go back scene and wishful thinking sequence, ep 12 bar scene.

one thing you would change about the show if you could I'd adjust the pacing of ep 12 so the fake-out is a smaller part of the whole thing proportionally.

what are your some of your favorite fanworks made by other people? It's really hard to pick. I love SO MANY. Even just the authors whose fic I list here have written more than one of my faves each. but let's see:

fic (missing scene): keeps me warm by unsungyellowraincoat (@isaksbestpillow). direct ep 8 aftermath exploration that made me ache.

fic (canon divergence): fight or flight (worth the wait) by jabber_moose (@galauvant). Ep 2 canon divergence wherein Pran is discovered under Pat's bed.

fic (AU): Pinocchio by aworkingprinter (@miscellar). In which Pran has an obvious, unsuppressable tell when he lies.

fan animation: international love song by @architectxengineer

fan art: this pic by @ thatgothsamurai was one of the first things I saw in this fandom in the way of art and it's stuck with me

(if you create fanworks) what are your favorite fanworks that you’ve made?

fic: the only truth that sticks (<5k, G) is my take on Pran's mother's backstory, told as vignettes from her school years. There's a lot I'd do differently if I wrote it now – not give her a nickname, for one – but it's nevertheless my baby; when I started it, I hadn't finished and posted any fic in over 20 years.

I had a collection of random language- and storytelling related observations about the show on twitter that I should probably copy over somewhere else at some point for preservation purposes.

there's an epic canon divergence that lives only in my friend's and my DMs and a back-up doc that I'm starting to think will never take full shape, but I love it anyway. There's also an escalating intimacy thing set vaguely pre-canon plus ep 7 to time skip that I've not added to in a year and probably won't finish, either, but again: love what I've got there.

a song that makes you think of bbs (the ones in the show don’t count lol) If it's a bittersweet love song I'm PatPraning it. But specifically: Tilly Birds' เพื่อนเล่น ไม่เล่นเพื่อน (Just Being Friendly) and pretty much the entire tracklist from the ON Thailand fanmeet, especially แดงกับเขียว (Red and Green) by TaitosmitH, แน่ใจไหม (Are You Sure) by Nont Tanont, อย่าใกล้กันเลย (We shouldn't be close) in Aof Pongsak's version, and ดวงเดือน (Moon) by Joey Phuwasit.

idk anything else you want us to know? I love this show. I love the hopeful ending. I love all the recurring characters (yes, that includes Wai and the parents), with all their flaws. I love how gently P'Aof tells this story – the way he approaches entrenched BL clichés, picks them up, examines them, and puts them back down: does it have to go this way? not for us, not for this story, let's look at how else this could go. He said he wanted to make a typical, an ordinary BL, and he did, and he didn't.

I love that I met so many nice people through our mutual love of this show. I love that we're still on the rooftop nearly two years later.

I love that there's so many sides of this fandom – analytical, transformative, curative, and everything in between.

I have completely lost track of who has and hasn't done this yet, but IF you see this and think, hey, this seems fun! and decide to do it, please tag?

nine people i’d like to get to know better

I was tagged in by the delightful @lasenbyphoenix!

last song listened to: LOL. The Hut Sut Song by Freddy Martin & His Orchestra. It plays in the background of A Christmas Story in one scene and my mother remembers when it was on the radio and occasionally sings it. Somehow I got it stuck in my head a few days ago so I searched it up on Spotify.

favourite colour: green? I think? I like color. All of them. A lot.

currently watching: I'm almost done with Sungkyunkwan Scandal and then I think I might try Story of Kunning Palace.

last movie/show: Show - Destined With You. Movie - The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

spicy/savoury/sweet?: NO SPICY. I'm very very white. But I sweet and savory equally. All meals should be brunch.

last thing you googled: “No Mercy by Tracktribe sample" because I Shazamed a really familiar-sounding song playing over a YouTube compilation my husband was watching and that was the result but I AM SURE that the guitar riff is from something from the 70s and not even something obscure.

get to know me ask game

thanks to @telomeke and @recentadultburnout for the tags!

RULES: [put square brackets around] the ones that are true & tag 10 people to do it. (the brackets are a hopefully more screen-reader friendlier modification)

APPEARANCE

blonde hair // [I prefer loose clothing to tight clothing] // [I have one or more piercings] // I have at least one tattoo // [I have dyed or highlighted my hair] // I have gotten plastic surgery // [I have or had braces] // I sunburn easily // I have freckles // I paint my nails // I typically wear makeup // I don’t often smile // I am pleased with how I look // I prefer Nike to Adidas // I wear baseball hats backwards

clothing: slight preference; if it's comfy, tight is also fine. piercings: earlobes. hair is not currently dyed but I have dyed it before. had to wear braces from 9-15. I went back and forth on the sunburn thing quite a bit – I've had sunburn maybe ten times in my life, if that often? but otoh I don't go outside much and tend to cover up when I do, plus I adapted my peers' 'sunscreen is skincare' creed at 16ish so I don't actually know how easily I'd burn if I changed the parameters of that.

HOBBIES & TALENTS

I play a sport // I can play an instrument // I am artistic // [I know more than one language] // [I have won a trophy in some sort of competition] // [I can cook or bake without a recipe] // [I know how to swim // [I enjoy writing] // [I can do origami]// I prefer movies to tv shows // I can execute a perfect somersault // [I enjoy singing] // I could survive in the wild on my own // I have read a new book series this year // [I enjoy spending time with friends] // [I travel during work or school breaks] // I can do a handstand

I speak three languages to a sufficient level to hold down a job in them, am able to hold conversations about a range of topics and do light reading in another, and clawing my way towards being that level in a fifth (currently basic convo only). trophy: it was one of those that move to the next winner next year, AND I won it as part of a group. But I suppose it counts for the purpose of this meme. recipes: I don't need them for most of my daily cooking, but I like trying new things and do tend to check when I'm making something I haven't in a while. swimming: I don't swim well, but I do know the basics. writing: I do enjoy it when I don't have to force it. origami: not very many shapes, but I can do a few. singing: love to sing, used to have a decent but untrained voice, now it's still untrained but also very out of practice. I spent years without friends and very much value the ones I have now. I used to travel a lot more, but … well. money, energy, covid.

RELATIONSHIP

[I am in a relationship] // I have been single for over a year // I have a crush // [I have a best friend who I’ve known for ten years] // my parents are together // I have dated my best friend // I am adopted // my crush has confessed to me // I have a long distance relationship // I am an only child // [I give advice to my friends] // [I have made an online friend] // [I met up with someone I have met online]

I'm in a relationship and have been for a long time. I have a few friends I talk to regularly whom I've known for more than ten years, and even some I've known for more than 20. I tend to try to offer advice/solutions even when sympathy is what's needed, and I'm working on that.ALL but one of my friends were online friends throughout high school; I'm still in contact with some of them, and one is now my brickspace best friend. I love meeting friends I met online.

AESTHETICS

[I have heard the ocean in a conch shell] // [I have watched the sun rise] // [I enjoy rainy days] // [I have slept under the stars] // I meditate outside // the sound of chirping calms me // [I enjoy the smell of the beach] // [I know what snow tastes like] // I listen to music to fall asleep // [I enjoy thunderstorms] // [I enjoy cloud watching] // [I have attended a bonfire] // I pay close attention to colors // I find mystery in the ocean // I enjoy hiking on nature paths // [autumn is my favorite season]

I LOVE the ocean, but I'm not sure I'd agree with the 'mystery' part, hence no brackets. I'm just fundamentally not a romantic, I guess.

MISCELLANEOUS

[I can fall asleep in a moving vehicle] // [I am the mom friend] // I live by a certain quote // I like the smell of sharpies // I am involved in extracurricular activities // [I enjoy Mexican food] // I can drive a stick shift // I believe in true love // I make up scenarios to fall asleep // I sing in the shower // [I wish I lived in a video game] // I have a canopy above my bed // I am multiracial // I am a redhead // I own at least 3 dogs

I can fall asleep in a moving vehicle but I will regret it big time (my neck and shoulders hate it). I'm the parent friend, always have been. I haven't had Mexican food often, and cannot speak to the authenticity of what I did have, but I've enjoyed what I tried. the video game thing is mostly because I wish real life had save points, walkthroughs, and freely adjustable difficulty levels.
