#i cannot STAND that line in ep 4

Machiavelli took a day off
... when the Telegraph article was written in great haste, by someone blatantly given a last minute task, who had no fucking idea to whom she was talking and what exactly meant the PR vetted or even prompted questions.
Instead of a line-by-line analysis, we'll take things differently, on this page, using the '5 W rule of journalism' (or even non-fiction writing, in general, if you ask me):
Who? SRH, EP of the OL series and one of the two male leads of the TCND series, which will be shortly broadcast by Channel 4, in the UK and IE only (and Movistar in ES). The rest of the world is not concerned.
What? A promotional article, focused on the actor's personality, CV and projects.
When? At a particular moment in time, just after the SAG-AFTRA strike and before shooting OL's eighth and last season.
Where? Crucial to place it in LHR (to imply he is 'just visiting') and God forbid it would be in GLA, which (for some curious reasons) seems to be off-limits.
Why? An actor with solid credentials hopes to keep agents and employers interested, after above OL project is done, which is rather sooner than later. Also addressing (as per the actor's PR agent specific requirements) three particular issues: the Palestine letter, the Bond project and his 'private life'.
Onwards to the three issues at stake, which probably prompted the article. In chronological order, this time. And no, I am not going to address the Scottish independence mention, because this is a sincere, well-known position of his and this page never bitches about people's convictions - also because I educated myself on it and I agree with S.
Palestine:
Tumblr media
It was important, for obvious reasons, to push damage control a tad further. Also, strictly from a hypothetical POV, I would be very curious to read your compare and discuss thoughts with regard to this particular post on this page:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A sort of answer came in the Telegraph paper, too. Not only to me (I am less than nobody), but to all the people (of which we were many) who thought he should not get involved in this type of debate:
Tumblr media
This is not the first time he uses this specific talking point. Last time known to me was on the day the Queen died, on X (I looked for that post, but can't find it, because I am just a filthy lurker, like that: but it is there).
The really interesting question, therefore, is: does he/somebody monitor what is being said on Tumblr? The answer is, I think, yes, and it shows. Will it stop me talking in here? Nope, as I trust my discerning abilities, for the moment. Other than that, his damage control op does not bring anything new to the table.
Bond:
Tumblr media
What can I say, Sir? While there's life, there's apparently hope. But that doesn't translate well, given the context of your interview. That spells desperate and it's not a great picture. Also, let us keep a pious moment of silence in fond memory of a 25 year old who had a dream and the dream went to Daniel Craig (who I detested as Bond, because every girl has her Bond and mine is Pierce Brosnan, amen).
I know people still speculate about it. I have very high reservations and I cannot, for the life of me, seriously consider even thinking about the possibility. He could do it with flying colors, no doubt. Does he stand a chance? I prefer to have zero expectations on it and be floored if it happens. If he naively still yearns/pushes for it, this interview could very well be as abysmal as C's VF tantrum.
'Private life':
Tumblr media
Ugh. Slippery when wet. I have already touched the subject in a reactive re-blog of @samheughanswife's post about it and I will not get back to what I said even without reading the article.
Some more extraordinary wording, in here: 'there might even be space for a personal life' - begs the question 'when?' In general? (in general, all men are created equal, too - it's practice that kills the theory) Now? (it is my staunch belief the answer is yes). After OL? (then and now and after Hiroshima, too). Can you program these things? (nope, stars simply aligned) Heh. Enough said. Also, 'might' spells cheap insinuation to me. But that's just me, a blonde voice in the audience.
Now, onwards to the daughter thing. I believe this specifically addresses the cheap, abundant clickbait content on You Tube, hence the vague 'online' reference (not Tumblr, not fans, not blogs - he is not C, he kept it clean). Such as this very recent one (last 'clip' on the topic was five days ago):
Tumblr media
The two I chose to share here, which are very conspicuous FAKES, are originating from the same 'source', an account that seems obsessed with S&C and has no problem changing its narrative three times a week, if needed. My opinion? PR induced shite, to prod numbers/interest and see what sticks.
No newborn daughter? I hear no lies.
As for OL leaving 'no time for relationships', ahem. *urv will be thrilled to read that, I bet the farm. As will Flukenzie Floozy, at least her - damn, she was persistent! Also, hello, back to 2014-2016 playbook, aren't we?
No new relationships? Whatever for, when IYKYK? I hear no lies.
'I want a cat' ('because she's great', says my shipper brain on autopilot), 'but I am too scared even for that'. Humph. A very poor lie. But admitting you wanted and got a Ca(i)t scares the bejesus out of you, since 2016. I hear no lies. Yes, I am being tongue in cheek and damn the consequences.
Morality of it?
Tumblr media
The easiest solution is never to take personal questions in interviews or panels. Why These Two still do it completely mystifies me.

Reasons why Merlins s1 ep4 "The Poisoned Chalice" is one of my favorite episodes (spoilers)
Gaius giving Merlin a fake proverb and Merlin calling him out on it
Merlin: "Someone has to keep the place running"
Gaius: 🤨
Merlin gets so excited he gets to go to the ball and it's adorable
The iconic outfit Arthur picks out for him
Gwen teasing him about the hat
Arthur looking back at Merlin clearly amused
The moment "Clara" confirms that Arthur's cup is poisoned he immediately leaves to save Arthur
Arthur keeps on trying to take a sip of the cup thinking the speech is over only to be interrupted again 🤣
Merlin: *Takes Arthur's cup*
Arthur: #annoyed
Uther asks Merlin for proof about his claims about the cup being poisoned and Arthur immediately goes into protective boyfriend mode
Arthur got so worried when Uther decided he would drink the wine
To the point that he tried to drink it himself knowing there was a possibility it was poisoned.
He was literally willing to do that for a servant he met 4 EP ago
Continuing with the point that they met 4 EP ago, they've known each other for like what, a month at the most and Merlin was already willing to die for Arthur
"but if it's poisoned, he'll die :('
Arthur was so fucking worried when Merlin drank the wine, you could tell just by the way he stood
*Dramatic music playing after Merlin drank the wine for a dramatic pause* Merlin: ...It's fine
The fact that the poison took a few moments to kick in. Idk it made it seem more realistic
You cannot convince me Arthur wasn't planning on somehow getting Merlin back from Bayard
When Merlin starts to choke, Arthur's face immediately drops. There's just a look of pure worry and dread
When Merlin falls to the ground unconscious, Arthur is there by his side in a matter of seconds
Arthur didn't even think twice when he picked Merlin up to carry him to Gaius's physician chambers
Arthur asking if Merlin was going to be ok
Gaius explains how to save Merlin, and how dangerous a journey it would be and Arthur is still willing to go to save Merlin
Gaius: A single drip of venom from the Cockatrice would mean certain death
Arthur: Sounds like fun!
Morgana has so much faith that Arthur would save Merlin she wasn't even worried
She relieved Gwen from her duties for the rest of the night so she could take care of Merlin!!!
"I can't stand by and watch him die!"
" Then don't watch"
The ways those lines are delivered are sooooo good omg
The way Arthur leans against the fireplace
Morgana is the one that convinced Arthur to defy his father and save Merlin
Merlin saying a spell in his sleep
And Gaius having to cover for him because Gwen was literally right there
Gaius immediately knows it's Nimue that poisoned the cup when he finds out the poison has been magically enhanced
"He's just a boy"
"Have you seen your son recently?"
Merlin literally moans Arthur's name in his sleep
"Art-Arthur, Arthur...ngh" -Merlin s1 ep4
Even when Merlin is literally dying and unconscious he's still trying to save Arthur
The whole act that Nimue puts on that Arthur falls for instantly
When Arthur flights the Cockatrice with his sword. I love all the fancy movements Bradley had to learn for the role of Arthur
Merlin moaning Arthur's name pt2
Merlin tries to warn Arthur that it's a trap in his sleep
"Who are you!"
"The last face you'll ever see"
Merlin moans Arthurs name pt3
THE BALL OF LIGHT MERLIN CREATES TO HELP ARTHUR
"Do not let Merlin die because of something I did"
Arthur is willing to be put into the stocks for a month if it means Merlin gets the antidote
Arthur reaching for the flower through the bars of his cell
The way they snuck the flower out of the cell
"That's disgusting, you would be ashamed of yourself you're old enough to be her grandfather"
"I'm proud of you Arthur, never forget that"
Arthur went to check in on Merlin to make sure he was doing ok
"Arthur....thank you"
"You too, get some rest"

Thai BL Favourites Tag List Game
Of COURSE @lost-my-sanity1 want me to partake in this and I am doing it for that wee little child only.
Favourite BL
I mean, it was a tight competition between THE 2 - MSP and BB. But as I have screamed out into the void before, BB just takes the cake, man. That show viscerally changed me as a person. I am a NEW BEING after BB. It's the way in which it came during the pandemic with its amazing acting and directing and music and STORY and chemistry and all that and more. MSP is a close second but my uni bois have a special place in my heart.
[p.s I love nanon and his entire face in this scene so much I cannot even descRIBE]
Tumblr media
Favourite Pairing
The pretentious me hates how I am following the mainstream and not thinking of some obscure pairings but yeah TinnGun genuinely deserve it. I am sorry but I still get butterflies whenever I watch the last scene of ep 4. That kind of chemistry is super hard to come by and GemFourth did such a good job, I love them. 🥺 I wanna forget ever having watched MSP and watch them all over again.
Tumblr media
Some noteworthy mentions are obviously patpran, everything maxtul plays, akkayan, biblebuild, etc.
OH I do infact have a not THAT mainstream pair! It's whatever couple name mark and perth acted as in the [admittedly not a BL] show, The Stranded, on Netflix.
Tumblr media
Favourite Character
Tinn. I relate so much to that boy, especially his awkwardness. Also he is super cute and I am super cute. He is also super simpy and I love that in a man. I truly don't know if I want him or want to be him.
Tumblr media
[ANOTHER noteworthy mention is Pleum in Ghost Host, Ghost House cuz again, mans is a walking green flag and a simp. ALSO hella awkward. *gasps* I have a type].
Tumblr media
Favourite side character
This position is shared by 2 of my fav comic reliefs who are also very pure hearted I love them to bits - Tiwson from MSP and Tankhun from Kinnporsche. The series truly wouldn't have been anything without them and I stand by it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Favourite Scene
If I could say the entirety of ep 5 of BB, I would have. But if I had to choose. This.
Tumblr media
Nothing surpasses this. Paof told them to make it award fucking worthy with the angst and they fucking did it. Ohm in this scene does so many things to me I cannot even I shall be kicked out from society if I ever open my mouth. I can't even stand seeing that gif cuz my knees will buckle down that very second. It also paved the way for the rooftop kiss TM so.
Favourite Line
Tumblr media
I mean. I warned you about this in the previous question so. It's more to do with the way he says it but it's still my fav cuz it was done right.
Underrated Actor:
SING who plays the role of the villain in Not Me. It is time that he got some main character roles, gmm.
Most anticipated BL and why:
1. Dangerous Romance cuz I have missed seeing Perth and Chimon, another 2 actors that can ACT, in a main role.
2. Only Friends cuz
3. I feel you linger in the air cuz plot looks interesting and they r both hunks.
Healthiest relationship in a bl:
Tinngun. Aint even have to put up a fight.
Most toxic relationship in a bl:
I mean, there are lots, girlie. If you immediately thought of that one pairing after seeing this question, then yeap I am going with that pairing too wink wink.
Guilty Pleasure Series:
Tonhon Chonlatee and that too only the first few eps. I love khaotung man what do I do.
Bonus! Most underrated series:
I think khun chai is pretty underrated in the sense that it's very telenovelaesque and mayhaps not fully bl so people r put off by it but I LOVED that show to bits.
YYY was a comparatively underrated series too even though I loved the romantic moments as much as the weird and comedic ones. It truly sits in a league of its own.
OOOKIE thassit for now. I have exhausted my typing abilities and I am pretty sure I left a lot of good series and scenes off cuz my brain couldn't conjure them up while I was typing.
I welcome anyone else who wants to try this out honestly, but if @ashedddaisy and @gaylittlepieceofsh1t could contribute their think pieces, I would LOVE to read em.

watched ep88!!!! yipe ^-^ time to post my silly disjointed reactions and interpretations of the silly card game show
first of all i just wanna say kuaidul using the 'perfected' version of the deck and yuudias using the 'prototype' one makes me insane
brb gotta go brainrot over the thought of transamu prime, which is made to look like kuaidul and is his 'perfected' version, representing his desire to take over yuudias' existence as the creator's perfect creation/favourite child.............. grgfhjregjgfdhs
(although he was held in higher regard by the creator than he realised bc otherwise why would he make yuudias look so similar to him?? like he made kuai first and then all the other different looking ones like el zwiwi but in the end said reject modernity return to kuaidul!!!!!!!! *vibrates so hard I explode*)
sorry this is just derailing into kuaidul rambling again i unfortunately cannot go 4 seconds without thinking about him </3
can't believe zaion didn't choose that outfit himself I'm heartbroken 😔 (although he kept it on after he stopped being controlled so that counts for something lol) the darkness yassified him...
looking at his outfit now tho u can really see the similarities to velgearian fashion (esp kuaidul) huh.......... he has the crossed belts, the weird almost-corset kinda thing, the turtleneck with the line down the middle and idk what to call it but the thing that goes over his shoulders creates the shape of that stood up collar and pauldrons that yuudi/kuai have + the long boots... idk its probably a coincidence but I like it :3
btw i don't understand the scene where yuuna's like 'stop staring at me 😡' bc he. wasn't staring at her?? I think???? his reaction was silly and cute so yippee but i don't get it does anyone else............. is it just meant to be a 'lol she happens to be standing directly in front of him and is self-centred so he assumes he's staring at her' joke or what idk
speaking of that scene its funny that while he shakes his head yuuhi's eye colour changes back and forth... i like collecting animation errors lol
(one of my favourites is this one where they gave him white pants bc I think it makes him look very knightly)
Tumblr media
anyways we got zaion and luge in the same frame again multiple times this ep zailuge nation wins again 💪💪
I loved everyone backseat dueling as well lol so silly
Tumblr media
THE RETURN OF HIS SELF-NARRATION WOOOOOOOOO
Tumblr media
cucumber :)
Tumblr media
the sillies................. :]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i love this running gag <3
anyways fun ep, supporting cast involvement my beloved <3 excited for the next one :D
gn!! 💕

SEA, bestie hi
we are 12 days away from Speak Now (TV) (which i am UNSPEAKABLY excited for as it's always been at least in my top 2 fave albums) and in honor of that
i have some young royals x taylor swift thoughts.
today's rambly message is about... HAUNTED
i genuinely never realized how wilmon-coded it was until i applied it to simon during the Valentine's Ball so... let's get into it!
You and I walk a fragile line I have known it all this time But I never thought I'd live to see it break
(even though they didn't want it to be, their entire relationship has always been shaky because of outside pressures. the wille back and forth, the sex-tape, all of season 2 leading up to ep 4 etc, however if it was up to both of them, they would want it to be simple, and they didn't actually want it to end)
Oh, I'm holding my breath Won't lose you again Something's made your eyes go cold
(thinking about Simon panicking over the idea of losing Wille after trying to push him away the entire season! like... yes he wanted space, but he also didn't. and he's not used to wille looking at him and talking to him like he's any other person. thinking about simon's pov of the wille/marcus/simon interaction and how off-guard simon is over the whole thing)
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong You're all I wanted Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
(just this whole chorus does such a good job of highlighting Simon's panic during this scene, how, even though he thought he wanted this space, now he can barely breathe without the comfort that wille will still be there for him)
Stood there and watched you walk away From everything we had But I still mean every word I said to you He will try to take away my pain And he just might make me smile But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead
(again, most of this i can relate entirely to ep 4 of s2. like simon watching as wille leaves while still knowing he loves him, thinking he's losing him. the second part is kinda self explanatory but like... marcus as a whole was obviously such a terrible attempt at getting over wille and the entire time he was with marcus he was thinking of wille)
like..... when i had this haunted realization i knew i had to share it with you, and it's been a while since i've sent you an unhinged taylor x wilmon analysis
n e ways... thoughts??? give me all of them
genuinely cannot wait for SN (TV) and you know you'll be getting all my thoughts
-miels 💜✨
miels I'm so sorry I got to this late asbhjgfjd I saw this ask and thought I was going to answer it later but this is like several days off rip 💀💀
anyway into the thoughts!! haunted is SUCH a good song choice omg
the intro alone, I agree with all your thoughts and also "I never thought I'd live to see it break" reminds me of that one line in wille's speech in s1ep4 where he says how it should've been him and not erik standing there, and then we see him breaking it off with simon the very next scene like oh my godd
and "something's made your eyes go cold" and how cool toned s2 was when they were apart and trying to have space but not lose each other!!
and YES the chorus and how big and swelling it is like simon's panic every time wille blindsides him, especially with "I thought I had you figured out" which reminds me so much of him thinking they were going to be in it together before the denial ;-;
HOUGH THE SECOND VERSE I DIDN'T MAKE THE CONNECTION TO S2 SIMON UNTIL NOW BUT IT IS PERFECT????? simon watched wille walk away so many times AND the last two lines are basically the marcus situation boiled down to that
and then the bridge which is short but the way it goes from "I know you're not gone" to "you can't be gone" like simon's emotions after finding out about the denial and realizing he doesn't know if he can trust wille :')
those are all my thoughts for now, I might send you a story of us ask actualy bc I'm listening to it and the lyrics are s2 coded as well

while the whole series has bits where i wish they’d decided on different pacing i really enjoyed episode 11 as well.
i had hoped for a bit more focus on vegaspete but i believe they did well with the time allocated and i understand why they wouldn’t want to cut back on screentime for the main couple.
obviously, what’s happening to pete isn’t something i’d wish on my worst enemy, but in-universe i am very intruiged by the dynamic and actually enjoyed them a lot.
with the preview i was worried that vegas would actually do something to pete’s grandmother, which i believe would make his relationship with pete irreparable.
but as it stands i like how they made vegas’s actions sensible while not undermining who pete is.
in the beginning vegas just wants revenge - he is pretty much powerless and running on even less time (something he is aware of) - so he decides to take it all out on the guy who foiled his plans. to me, it makes sense that he’d go that far with pete. pete was the deciding factor in him losing and his father losing face (and he is still so desperate to be a good son to his father) and he generally is a brutal guy who likes to hurt people (very much not excusing anything else he does, but also: that’s the show. pete kills people, beats them to an inch of their life, kinn extorts money from people who cannot afford it etc. we are on a scale of crime here).
in the last episode pete surprised him by not submitting to his whims, so he is intruiged: he takes him with him to the save house and treats him like a pet. very interesting that he craves his fathers approval but even after his (partially) secret plans backfire, he goes against his fathers command and keeps pete alive. his affection for pete in the episode right until their “talk” is him treating pete like a pet (i don’t think vegas is a great pet owner). suddenly invested in keeping him alive not just as a plaything but as another being. still miles away from seeing pete as a human or even an equal to himself but decidedly different from just the head bodyguard of the main family who is to blame for everything. he occasionally lashes out because he is still angry, but the source of his anger also changes to being angry at having lost all control. he can’t even move freely anymore. so he controls the only person who has even less freedom. but he wants to see pete alive. that’s why i believe his concern at pete falling unconscious is actually real. (as well as vegas deciding all by himself that pete is his pet, so pete dying will be another failure on his side)
then they have their “talk” and vegas sees pete as someone akin to himself. i wish they’d visualised even more that it takes time for vegas to get to that point, but that’s the pacing thing i was talking about that could probably not have been helped.
i haven’t read the novel, but from what i’ve heard i am very pleased with this writing (not even going to get into the amazing lightening and cinematography with the red/green lights behind them at all times) since they leave out the things that would be impossible to include without the show leaving a bad aftertaste but they allowed themselves to explore these interesting dynamics that no one would wish to be subjected to in real life. to me they ride the fine line between portraying something in a work of fiction and not condemning it really well (just like the kinnporche scene in ep 4).
as for pete: i just love build’s everything. pete is extremely strong to be able to stay alive through all of this and i really like the sweet spot between him not being delusional about who vegas is and what he does and still holding sympathy for him (not to start a fight with anyone, but i think the writers are better than believing that stockholm syndrom is 1. a real thing 2. using it as an excuse for vegaspete to happen). he tries to get away, he is capable and the lightening speaks to that: he is sitting on the red side towards the end. he might still be captured by vegas but he has gained so much control over him as well. just the fact that he could order vegas to bring him new food without vegas lashing out is a shift in power.
there’s still a long way to go but i like the thought that went into vegaspete and them trying to stay somewhat true to a relationship that might normally be impossible to include in a life action series. still some episodes left to go, so they might let me down with what they will do next, but i did like this episode and the exploration of this tasty dynamic.
to the point that even this portrayal might have been unpalatable if pete were a woman: i don’t think so. any similar movie i can think of made it clear that this behaviour could be romantic and the female lead never was a very capable mafia member trained to withstand torture, so on those points alone kinnporche as a show really stands out. obviously bible is hot, but they’re not riding on physical attraction alone here. the writers are prodding these two twisted men who do bad things like an interesting science project and while they might get excited when their characters show interest in each other it is pretty clear that it is only fun in terms of a fictional experiment and nothing they’d want to have in real life.
biggest issue with the series so far: i was missing acknowledgement of Big’s death. I will eat my words if the past two episodes are just the build up to have them throw a big funeral and then everyone going shocked pikachu face when Pete doesn’t turn up.

oh boy. i’ve read, reread, processed, and reread practice pt 3 so many time since it’s been out. first and foremost, you did an amazing job and it was so worth the wait!!!! tysm 💖 IVE GOT SO MANY THOUGHTS AND IM SORRY IF THIS IS ANNOYING T^T
1. when oc hit jk with the “this relationship is unproductive” my jaw DROPPED. and she didn’t stop there … she had to add the comment about it being a big word for him. HEART SHATTERING!!!!! i get it though … hurt people, hurt people. but still, ouch 💔
Tumblr media
and my heart broke even more when jk defaulted to “you’re being so…mean.” because he could’ve thrown any insult in the books … but that line??? phewwww — dw tho, i’m an angst enthusiast so it was much welcomed but hurt nonetheless :’)
2. when oc was saying she’s ashamed about chasing after a man … girl, i felt that. 7 men to be exact 🤡 it’s okay, bestie. we in this together
3. “i don’t do relationships.” LMFAOOO 💀💀 JK READ THE FRIGGIN ROOM PLS IM BEGGING YOU
4. “I wish you saw yourself the way I do,” he says with sparkly eyes. “How could I want anyone else, Bambi?” ……that’ll do it. this along with the many other touching dialogue in the fic has me in a chokehold.
5. love them for communicating. it was tough, but proud of them for getting through it and being honest with their feelings!
6. i rly appreciated how everything connected and there were bits and pieces from pt 1&2! tied everything together and just had that extra attention to detail.
7. i’m gunna miss this couple. i hope they watch all the sailor moon eps they can, eat chocolate chip pancakes at unreasonable hours, and live a happy life together. 💖
what a treat it was to follow this series! ty again and hope you take care of yourself as always. looking forward to reading your future works!! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
SWEETHEART !!! UR REVIEWS ALWAYS HAVE ME BAWLING !!! <3
Tumblr media
naur oc was a big ole meanie for that :'(( lol i cannot stress to u guys enough that practice jk cannot stand drama or being angry !! so even though he was v upset with oc it's not in his character to insult !! especially our girl he would never </3
7 men... I'd be lying if i judged bc same... broken hearted club me n u <3 :'(
i love when stories come full circle or when theres a seemingly small detail that actually is a huge detail later on and makes you :O i try to do that with my stories, especially this one.
also i imagine that there's a pancake place thats open 24 hours near their campus and it becomes a ritual for them to go there weekly at like 1am bc nostalgia n they're so smitten w each other ;'))
ty so much for supporting me and this series. genuinely means the world to me. hearing your takes and theories throughout really warmed my heart. ily and thank you again <3

if you think you should watch death note , yes you should but WITH caution , my warnings are:
attempted sexual assault : once at the first ep , the other time wayyyy at the other half of the series in a train scene, both times perpetrators die right after and nothing graphic happens to the victim . An attempt at cornering the main female character by a sleazy antagonist happens in a car but no other advances happen.
if you cant stand the police as a few central characters in the story im sorry my only consolation is that they dont stay in the police for THAT long until they just practically become private investigators for the rest of the story , most of the story revolves around how kinda useless they are and also most of the government agencies are portrayed as pushovers and a lot of them die lol
some graphic deaths and blood tends to be shown at times, it doesnt last for too long since most deaths are just heart attacks but nonetheless, also suicide is mentioned a LOT so if thats something triggering even though its not completely shown on screen or talked abt in Process i understand. 
youre gonna be mad for the girls in this anime, they arent rlly fanservice , theres like no panty shots/boob bouncing or underage characters sexualized (thank fucking god????the bar is on hell) at all BUT the main female characters dont get treated really well by Light and are constantly manipulated , neglected , dont get more characterization other than a few traits or too little screentime , if thats a deal breaker i COMPLETELY understand i hate it too. I think the only instance of something WEIRD CREEPY said its when one of the male characters thats already in his late 20s comments on how the main´s characters younger sister who is already in college is “all grown up and pretty” n the others talk about him n her getting married and the father shoots it down obviously and its just such a nothing segment , its just weird as hell and really obvious how the writer of the show cannot revolve a female character´s conversation on herself instead of a guy. 
one very minor background shinigami character (i think he has like . ONE line???)  wears a native headdress , its looks as dumb you think it is , they could have literally erased the guy n everything would be the same . doesn't appear more than ...3? 4 times? on screen. just giving that heads up for insensitive character design. i think theres a HIGHLY questionable depiction of a black man in an “american tv show” on the latter half of the series as well but its probably a blink and youll miss it thing in the background but STILL these things should be noted idc that its an anime from 2007 cuz this shit continues to happen in present anime so like.
anyways those are my warnings if you still wanna watch it its literally so absurd and dramatic youll probably have a great time you will find it on any pirating anime site of your choosing , theres uploaded eps IN YOUTUBE STILL at least for the latino dub and portuguese dub, the english dub its actually pretty good and well acted so dont worry about it being awkward, it rlly is up to you if you wanna go for subs or dubs

jjba thursday: part 4 ep 1-3
its the inaugural jjba thursday! this week has not been too hard, but its still early in the semester. I have a lot of work to do, but right now, im watching jojo's bizarre adventure: diamond is unbreakable!
um my reactions to episodes 1-3 below~
episode 1 - Jotaro Kujo! Meets Josuke Higashikata
jotaro kujo! yay!!
why's he got so many speaking lines tho
koichi????
also when did jotaro become an ecologist???? what????!?!??!
josuke is weird. he's a weirdo. he doesn't fit in and he doesn't want to fit in. you ever seen him without his grilled steak looking hair? that's weird
wait why does this feel like propaganda
in this small quiet town, there lies a great and mysterious eeviiiillllllll ,,,,,,, uhmmmm
unironically I think its quite funny josuke;s main character trait is "oh im so sorry sir! didn't mean to offend you! hehe im just a lil guy! wait. what did you say about my hair."
the tone of the show kinda gives me whiplash but its fun
but seriously why does jotaro have so many speaking lines. giving exposition. why. I liked him in part 3 precisely because he never said anything lol
josuke's mom is great. she isn't gonna die, is she
episode 2 - Josuke Higashikata! Meets Angelo
oh man I love josuke's mom! I know her name is tomoko but yknow
ok yea not picking up your dog's shit and littering a cigarette butt is fucked up. not that fucked up tho jesus
pretty smart idea to trap the stand in a bottle!! nice one josuke!!
josuke..... dude......
im sorry I cannot be upset that your cop grandpa got got. not only was he a cop, but also a prankster?? cmon
"...in fact ive never been calmer in my life" "yeah. sure." *cut to fucked up wardrobe* lol
uh oh this is pretty bad!
I guess if you dont have fucking polnareff around you need jotaro to say things huh. that's why he's got so many lines
what the fuck you ate a rubber glove josuke
"josuke, lets be frank. yeah I murdered your grandpa" wow
what the fuck josuke????? you just,,, put him in a rock????? huh????
episode 3 - The Nijimura Brothers, Part 1
I like the opening song. the opening animation itself is not my fav tho
"petrifying thought isn't it" - guy stuck in a rock for all eternity
josuke.... come on dude you really gotta stop trapping aqua necklace and just .... leaving it places???
josuke!!!!!! come on dude!!!!!!!!!!!!! listen to your nephew for once
wait wait wait... I thought dio gained a stand when he acquired johnathon joestar's body??? is that not the case????
is koichi going to be a recurring character? that's fine its just,,,, why is he like that
obviously he's not gonna turn into a stand user he's a freakin nerd
what... is his stands power? bending the spacetime continuum??? ok. sure. that's fine. actually that's really good
josuke he didn't even insult your hair you just completely forgot about koichi and started choking him why??????
billion... trillion... is there a million brother too? lol
im excited for this part, it seems like it will be fun! and so far I like josuke as a character. but I feel like he's gonna have a heel turn tho idk why

I am in middle of LoA ep 4 and I am once again reminded why I haven't read or watched suspense or thriller for years. This is a rant with my personal opinions so read at your own discretion.
As much as I am delighted by the deviousness of Charn I absolutely cannot stand the emotional blunders by Tin.
He single handedly destroyed all leverage by going after that little boi that Charn had gained through the ring plot.
I know Tin is a gryffindor and acts before he thinks but when they are in the office and Tin asks Charn to discuss the plan beforehand. They acknowledge that Charn can be overly manipulative and he needs to be curtailed.
Similarly there should have been a scene acknowledging Tin's blunder and what it had cost them and that he needs to think before acting too.
Too often the cunning characters are labeled as devious and portrayed as needing to be leashed and there is no acknowledgement of the harm that thoughtless emotional actions bring just because they are righteous.
And I cannot stand it. Acknowledge your anti-heroes without guilt- tripping them. Let them have fun toeing the line. They more than the puritans know where the line is.
As for the the emotional righteous gryfinndors forgive them all you want but do not let them forget the consequences of their actions as the the world will not forget.
I am fully down for the Himbo when it's a low stakes world with fluff and emotional angst but when there are murders and rapes happening and you do not consider the consequences of your actions just because it's the right thing to do, then I have a bone to pick with you.
Anyway good job to the writers of Laws of Attraction for making me care this much that I am banging my head over Tin's stupidity.
I know this is not a problem with the show this is a me problem. I just wanted to get it out.

OKOKOK EP TWO AND THREE CLEARED. Keisuke is unbeatable I Am Positive I kept fucking pausing to GIF this and that and I swear I've never had this many GIFs on the hard drive 😭😭I need to hunt him for sport [AFFECTIONATE] Pleeeease drop the Cutest Tsutsumi Characters list... I must know...
DON'T REMIND ME OF TSUTSUMI'S POSSIBLE RETIREMENT I'LL MISS HIM SO BAD 😭😭😭😭😭that aside :] he's a nice man I respect him :] To Say The Least... OH BUT he did some dialect work in Kagerou Touge [only as the transgender chicken he plays not his actual character], Bali Big Brother, Tonbi, First Penguin, and uhhhh Jo's Singular Line LMAO [not all Kansai exactly IIRC but more Kansai-adjacent than Kanto]. Kagerou and First Penguin are my faves though methinks
DEFINITELY CHECKING OUT THE MOVIE WHEN I GET THE CHANCE... very intrigued about how it does things differently and of course the Snap Seal Of Approval means a great deal to me...
Kase is SUCH a bitch in the anime and manga perhaps especially Because he did have potential as a voice of reason but he's just being a hypocrite and abusing his knowledge of the situation; he's able to justify it only because he's Not Forty-Five Which Would Be Creepy But Twenty-One Is Fine Dude Trust Me which... is pretty real NGL guys like that do exist... in the same vein, on one hand I do want him to face some sort of consequence, but on the other hand I guess it's also pretty real for him to be able to get away with it. I Guess.
If nothing else I do really appreciate that episode for the contrasts between how Kase and Kondo act on [basically] the same "date," and how Akira reacts. Like OBVIOUS what the message of the ep is given Akira's thing with the pamphlets but let me cook... 'Cause Kase is conventionally attractive, he's not [as far] out of her age range [although he's still DECIDEDLY out of it], and a lot of girls who don't know any better would be thrilled to be pursued by a "cool mature guy" like him, but Akira cannot stand any of it. But with Kondo, the complete opposite, who is totally unattainable, she feels safe and comfortable.
Even so, she re-enacts Kase's behaviors on her "date" with Kondo, because that's what she knows and kids mimic the adults in their lives whether they know it or not, and it's largely by her own self-restraint that she doesn't go in for that kiss at the end and things don't end as badly as they could... MANY thoughts... head full...
BUT YEAH. NO. YEAH. The last couple eps go SO hard and for WHATTTTT 😭😭😭😭😭Haruka and Akira got me so fucked up... Haruka winning that black cat for her coinciding with Akira starting to back off from Kondo and rekindle things with Haruka instead... the rumor WAS real... uuuuugggggghhhhhhhhhhh
And CHIHIRO MY FRIEND CHIHIRO good god spending the whole fucking show thinking Kondo was just reminded of his wife or some girl-who-got-away by Akira... and then he picks up the book and It's No Help because Chihiro is a gender neutral name... AND THEN TURNS OUT IT'S HIS BOY BEST FRIEND REPRESENTING HIS YOUTH AND HIS PASSIONS AND IT'S ALL IN PARALLEL TO HARUKA AND AKIRA UUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OK that is enough for now I promise I will actually send in something RGG-related at <3 Some Point <3 SORRY to anyone having to scroll past these last couple of asks lmao
THATS WHAT IM SAYING literally my number one selling point for this show at this point is Keisuke Is The Cutest Old Man In Media Ever Please Witness Him. on the subject of Cute Men though the Cute Tsutsumi Chara list is relatively small since most of his roles evidently has him p serious or. Heinous. so like. top five's like:
1.) Keisuke (Tsuma, Shogakusei ni Naru) 2.) Saenai (Super Salaryman) 3.) Nobata (Not Quite Dead Yet) 4.) Ikegami (Why Don't You Play in Hell) 5.) Tsugaru (Hero SP)
a very hard list for me to make considering i think he has plenty of cute roles (if not just cute moments) in one way or another but..... thems the ones that had me going (´◡`ʃ♡ƪ) the most..
BUT WHAT DO YOU MEAAAN NOT TO REMIND YOU YOU TOLD ME ABOUT IT FIRST (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) an important thing to remember anyhow.. maybe in the future he can direct movies that feature other cute middle-aged men (❁´◡`❁) greatly doubt any others will ever compete with The Paragon Of Middle-Aged Dudes but they can try...
you had me at Trnsgender Chicken huh. OH BUT YEAH i figured hiroshi was kansai-esque with his mannerisms/speech. bali big brother was one of the movies on my To-Watch list so i know what to look into this week now (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
OH BUT I THOUGHT YOU SAW THE MOVIE i watched it ahead of time because of that ☠️☠️ BUT i look forward to you checkin it out !! again its p different tonally in some parts, esp with the vibe to haruka and tachibana's relationship (tho of course the underlying issue of their rocky friendship still exists, its just not as evident as it was in the anime).
AH BUT YEAH i appreciate kase for what he does as a narrative device and as a character in THAT regard i really like him: serving as a cautionary reality for people like tachibana who could be taken advantage of if around the wrong people while he simultaneously acts as though he knows what's best for her (and again, he has a point in her and kondo's age difference being egregious, but he's not exactly sailing on smooth waters either). with that in mind i appreciate that aspect of him didn't overstay it's welcome (for multiple reasons of course LMAO)
NOOO BUT HARUKA AND TACHIBANA'S RELATIONSHIP MENDING BY THE END THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO especially when they showed off haruka had her lil cat bro hanging on her bag.. and it was that hot-pink color to balance out the black one tachibana had (very kuromi/melody core if you ask me).... it really was super sweet that kondo and haruka got to mend their past relationships by the end of the anime like AAA it was SOOO good the build up and execution and eveything.. and i LOVE how the anime ends with the implication kondo and tachibana will start to really work on their aspirations- i always like those endings more than the ones where we see them already succeeding (❁´◡`❁)
AND YEYEYE THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT THE BUSINESS WITH CHIHIRO WAS GONNA BE TOO !!!!! IT WAS DEFINITELY INTENTIONAL ME THINKS LIKE ugh... AtR is masterful as all hell for everything it does i truly loved it a lot...
#long post#snap chats#my seal of approval is worth something... and what if i said Teehee LMAOO#BUT i do hope you enjoy it (❁´◡`❁) it might not have tsutsumi in it but yo oizumi certainly does a great job as kondo me thinks#with it being live action and Just A Sprinkle more serious than the anime tachibana isn't as comedically explosive anymore#but she can still be curt. i was a lil upset that yoshizawa and nishida didnt keep their cute relationship#but again i get it.. we only have so much time and we dont wanna bounce around with the focus#again there are some changes that made me like. Hm. BUT nothing i hated#LIKE HOW THEY CUT OUT TSUBU LIKE NOOOOOO MY LIL MAN..... but ill live i suppose....#and again there were changes i DID enjoy- like for one thing i like how tachibana's mom is actually here LMAO#but ill save all that for when you finish the movie 🤭 i hope you enjoy ! and i hope you enjoy the rest of tsuma ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶#moving on... ye neednt tell me how you respect mr tsutsumi... i am aware no worries friend..#with that in mind it is hard makin my Cute Tsutsumi Charas list...#'snap you put ikegami on the list' i did. because he was cute and silly and just a lil quirky#i was gonna put hiro on the list but then i remember how most of the time i wanted to hit him with a trout#he's still cute to me tho but tsugaru's just a flavor of awkward that i really thinkg is endearing#hiro's cute in that he's a stubborn old man who's still earnest. also he loves his wife and Wife Guys always get points#but alas... his wife isn't around anymore so we don't get to see that much.. have to deduct some of those points...#i also thought toru (pure) was cute but he's more Brooding cute and his cutest moments are with yuka#and i wanted to keep the list limited to Cute Mostly On Their Own#BUT ANYWAY. ENOUGH OF THAT BEFORE I GO ON TOO MUCH.#i couldnt find any of the other kansai-infused media.. i tried looking for tonbi but i wasnt sure which one he was in#and when i checked the cast list of either of them i didnt find him credited.. i COULD just check his imdb but. laziness is an illness yk..#potentially lying on the bali plans too... KA only has the raw footage but i COULD try to 47 Ronin In Debt my way through it...

WAIT DID THEY REALLY JUST
Did they just take THE SAME Bee and Puppycat and make it LONGER for Netflix??????
Does that mean I didn't have to rewatch it twice in a row to comprehend at least a lil bit what tf was going on???? I had to just wait for a normal show?????
Not like I mind, the cartoon is gorgeous either way (I'm on ep one btw and I think at least the first of Bee's weird dreams looked cooler in the og show) BUT MAN
I never thought I'd actually see the day

Hey hermits of tumblr here's a fun challenge for you:
Describe your character quirks i.e. list out habits and traits you have that would make you stand out if you were a character in a work of fiction. This is an exercise in finding something unique about each of us. And also a possible help for writers looking for something to add to their characters ;)
Here's my ✨ character quirks ✨
Hates wearing makeup but likes the process of someone applying makeup on her or doing her hair
Actually uses a set of like a hundred aquarelle pencils instead of eye liner/lipstick/masquerade makeup when she feels extra fancy (usually ends up making rainbow eye liner)
Sometimes acts like a cat around friends she's comfortable with (rubs head, lies with head on knees, purrs when receives pats)
Has a comedic amount of cats (four) and wants more
Has zero coherence in clothing style a bunch of fandom clothes being the only constant thing
Wears exclusively converse spring through autumn (as long as the weather is good enough)
Carries a book around most of the time; in fact spent her prom reading and tuning out the music (which she is extremely proud of and will tell everyone at the first opportune moment)
Swears a whole fucking lot
Quotes memes/films/TV shows a lot or at least really wants to with the only thing stopping her the fact that she knows a quote she has in mind is too niche to be understood
Absolutely cannot sleep with the lights on or during the day; will wake up at dawn if the curtains aren't drawn
Grandma friend: will try to feed you everything there is in the house if you come visit
Some people spend tons of money on clothes; others can't walk past a make-up shop; this bitch has no self-control when entering a bookstore (in fact she would refuse to spend too much on food but then she goes near a bookstore and wakes up an hour later with two bags of books)
Compliments friends in fairly smooth pick-up lines at any given opportunity

This Week in BL
March 2021 Part 4
Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. 
This is a LONG ONE, it’s been A WEEK everyone. 
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
Lovely Writer Ep 5 - a little slow this week, but at least Gene finally flirted back, and very cute flirting it was, too. Also we got Aey’s motivation, background, and love interest. Thank goodness for that. 
Brothers Ep 8 - still pants, what can I say? Clearly I am a BL masochist. Very embarrassing for everyone concerned. 
1000 Stars Ep 9 - the conflict over Tian’s father was REALLY well done. The plot of this drama is excellent, the leads are great together, and yes I totally cried. What, you didn’t? 
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Word of Honor (China) Ep 16-18 - big battle fighty fighty stabby stabby. Ep 17 switches to “this drama isn’t big enough for two chaotic-neutral godlings!” So what do they do? Drink together and bicker... A LOT. Then in Ep 18 we all get the dubious joy of really freaky puppets. (I HATE puppets.) Also how is China letting this be so SO VERY VERY GAY?  Also, I wanna walk through the forest wearing a smanshy purple robe and waving a big fuck-off white fan around simply because I’m a pretentious fuss monger. And frankly, I feel like this is an achievable life goal for me. 
We Best Love 2 (Taiwan) Ep 4 - not gonna lie, this is looking to be one of my top 3 BLs of 2021. It’s SO GOOD. Big bonus to this ep for treating stalker behavior like the mental illness it is and not as some dumb representation of enduring love. 
The Most Peaceful Place is My Place (Vietnam) Ep 1 - finally dropped (find it under NƠI BÌNH YÊN NHẤT LÀ VỀ BÊN EM on O2′s channel). It’s got actors already comfortable with BL and looks pretty good so far. An angry tsundere uke reunited with his ex, a stoic chef, giving us lots of snap, crackle, and pop out the gate. 
Dear Uranus (Taiwan GL) Ep 2 - I want to love it, but it is just moving too fast. There’s not enough character dev and then they’re throwing flashbacks in? It feels like a treatment rather than a show, and a rushed treatment at that. Bummer. 
HIStory 4: Close To You (Taiwan) Ep 2 (AKA Ep 3-4) - let the cheesy popcorn continue! Idiot remains an idiot; ingenue remains an ice queen; nice gay guy remains nice and gay; obsessive stalker brother is getting ever more whackadoddle. Of course these last two have the best chemistry. (It’s caregiver codependency and the salvation trope. We got us a Leo/Fiat situation going on.​) Plus lots of classic BL tropes because OF COURSE there are lots of tropes. 
Occasionally, I am tempted to argue that shows like H4 or Cherry Magic or Ossan’s Love aren’t technically BL because of the office setting and age of the protags - but then they all behave like high school students anyway, so *shrug* 
Tumblr media
Stand Alones
Cute little Taiwanese micro BL Friend or Lover dropped, about bisexual realization within a friendship group. Normally these are too short for me, but this one did pretty good with its 15 minutes of charm, plus it’s abad boy + shy softy pairing. 
Tumblr media
Breaking News - Thai BL
Fish Upon the Sky released its actual trailer. The upside-down kiss is gone, which makes everyone sad, and it seems far less rivals to lovers than the first iteration, which makes ME sad. But it still looks good and a more classic BL than GMMTV has given us in a while. New trailer focused more on the makeover trope and they’ve upped Mix’s role (the object of everyone’s affection) now that he’s proved himself. (Or they are using him more to carry the trailer since he has a fan base form 1k*). Starts April 9 on GMMTV in 1K*’s time slot, probably with a 10 ep run. 
2gether the movie is apparently coming April 22 to Thai theaters. F4 Thailand must be having issues or GMMTV just wants to milk the BrightWin cash cow. It’s rumored to be a combination of 2gehter + Still 2gether with some extra scenes and ending. Also, one assumes a lot will be cut out, if it’s movie length.
Call It What You Want released its updated trailer. If anything, it looks more scary than before. What are we in for? April 9th. 
Nitiman got a release date, May 7 on One31. 
I Told Sunset About You 2 got an updated release date of May 27 on LineTV. 
Second Chance the series is coming to LineTV on March 29. I don’t know much about this one. Tons of familiar faces (mostly TharnType side dishes) and some nice looking new talent but a dearth of eng subs. I think it may take on Brothers’ time slot. Line did eng subs for Brothers so maybe they will do 2nd Chance too? 
Close Friend the series is coming April 22. This is a combination of 6 couples with 6 story arcs as music videos (maybe)? It’s an epic fan service with familiar faces like OhmFluke (UWMA), MaxNat (LBC also in Y-Destiny), YoonLay (YYY also in Y-Destiny), KimCop (GenY), and JaFirst (TT2).
Y-Destiny starts March 30, and has starting dropping couple’s trailers. I’m still suspicious given the director but it seems like there is plot (or plots) and a theme. Looks to be a series of 7 single ep vignettes (amended, see comments, might be 2 eps each for 14 eps total), different couple each time, some with supernatural elements, all with decent chemistry and acting chops. 
Sun MaxNat’s tutor/student arc
Mon jaded rich kid meets poor innocent  
Tues sports romance enemies to lovers 
Weds the messy realistic actual dating one 
Thurs hot ghost boyfriend (sad) 
Fri YoonLayPerth coping with loss and finding new love (sad). This one will all rest on Lay's acting so we know it’s in safe hands. Our boy is going to KILL it. 
Sat time-slip memory loss reunion romance 
I’m thinking we can’t expect any of these to end happy or be classic BL. They’re gonna be more slice of life-ish. 
Tumblr media
Gossip - BL Outside of Thailand 
Scholar Ryu’s Wedding Ceremony AKA Nobleman Ryu’s Wedding (Korean historical BL) got a legit teaser (eng sub here). @curriculumvtae​ reports that it’s releasing April 15th on WeTV (Philippines & Thailand) and Idol Romance (South Korea), while Will of Thai Bl says it’ll be on Viki too. It’s a short run of 8 ep built on a fake relationship trope (arranged marriage variant):
Ryu Ho Seon’s (Kang In Soo from You Wish) arranged marriage turns out to be with his expected bride’s brother, Choi Ki Wan (Lee Se Jin from Mr Heart). Ryu tries to undo the marriage, but his ill mother opposes this saying the scandal would be too much. Meanwhile, Kim Tae Hyeong (Jang Eui Soo from Where Your Eyes Linger), a senior at Ryu’s school, comes to congratulate him and falls in love with Choi. Then one day, the original bride disappears.
Okay it seems a bit twisty turny for ONLY 8 EPS, but oh my goodness how excited are we? Our first intentional historical BL out of Korea!
Tumblr media
We already knew Hong Kong was doing a remake of Japan’s Ossan’s Love under the same name (not my favorite Japanese BL but so very popular) but it’s now reported to be coming to Viu in June. Who knows how the CFA will take it. Depends on whether Hong Kong bows before the NO GAY KISSES regs or if they are going to use this as a political nose thumb... things could get cray with this puppy (the original has several kisses and s shower scene). Are we back in Addicted territory only with added comedy and civil unrest?
Speaking of Japan, Absolute BL (AKA Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai vs Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko) dropped sooner than anyone thought, March 27. But being Japanese who knows how/when/if we get subs. Protag finds himself trapped in a world of BL, but being straight he fights against any hot guy that draws near, but the whole world (literally) is conspiring against him. It’s a parody adapted from a yoai.
What with Absolute BL from Japan plus Lovely Writer and Call it What You Want from Thailand, is 2021 the year of BL being ultra self referential? Sure feels like it.
Tumblr media
In Case You Missed It
Faded a gay micro film from Taiwan from 2017 deals with parental acceptance and serves up a ton of BL tropes (piggyback, forehead kiss, etc). I’m pretty sure this was a propaganda piece for legalization of gay marriage, and it’s an interesting nugget of BL history as a result. Yes, it ends happy. It’s cute. 
Next Week Looks Like This:
Some shows may be listed a day later than actual air date for accessibility reasons.
Tumblr media
Upcoming 2021 BL master post here.
Links to watch are provided when possible, ask in a comment if I missed something.
Man there’s a lot going on right now! Spring has sprung... I suppose. 
Tumblr media
P.S. I cannot believe I missed Absolute BL as a blog name. Numbnuts = me.

S1 Tech Overview
This line, for me, sums up 90% of Tech’s entire personality:
Tumblr media
Or ‘as long as it doesn’t affect me I’m fine with it’
Because Tech isn’t a nice guy.
It isn't simply a lack of emotional connection - he just doesn't give a shit what happens to anyone else as long as he's ok.
He's pleasant on the surface and never appears to speak out of turn, but he watches everything without making any comment aside from a bit of side eye or a raised eyebrow, he's quick to mistrust, and slow to offer help or information, while still thinking the sun shines out of his arse.
.
I find it interesting that out of the 4 original Batch members Tech is the only one to not get their helmet in the Disney+ opening sequence.
I wonder if he’d be red or blue?
.
He’s complacent, unshakeable in his belief in his own intellectual superiority, and very easily offended when anyone suggests he’s less than the epitome of smart.
Just look at his expression after Saw Gerrera says: ‘And I figured you for the smart one.’ when they’re on Onderon in Ep 1.
.
He’s also utterly inflexible and has proved himself to be the team member most resistant to change over the course of the season – if it ain’t broke, don’t fit it. Right?
But that meant Crosshair could predict every move he made on Bracca as well as on Kamino, and that he almost got them all killed on Daro. Where Echo looked at the system in use there, made sure he told everyone that the encryption being used was new and brought the new trooper designation of TK troopers to everyone’s attention, Tech simply blundered in with the same techniques which have always worked for him, entered a clone code, and brought security down on them all in force.
.
Everyone else has adjusted to their new way of life in some sort of way, except for him.
Wrecker befriended Omega, shared Lula, made a room for Omega in the rear gunners position, etc
Echo dressed up as a droid in order to walk about in public, commandeered a group of droids to effect speedy ship repairs, keeps an eye on Omega, and adapted his approach to new systems when they were infiltrating Daro.
Even Hunter has been out and about in civvy clothing, dealing with Cid, and trying to work out wtf to do next.
What has Tech done during the whole season that isn't exactly the same as he was previously doing?
Showed off to Omega. Yes, in the process he’s also taught her about the ship, and some flight skills, but he hasn’t exactly put himself out at any point.
He's made no real effort to change at all.
But, like everyone else, he isn't evil, just making bad decisions.
.
We haven’t seen him personally do anything wrong (yet) but he hasn't stood up for anything either. He's been content to stand on the sidelines and watch everything happen around him and take no action to prevent it unless it directly affects him or what he’s doing.
He may have a vast intellect, but he chooses not to use it to improve anyone's situation, only providing info once asked for it, and volunteering nothing.
.
Dee Bradley Baker describes him as 'easy breezy' but it’s more like uninvolved and uncaring.
He could have made a change, He could have acted upon what he could see occurring, but he's done nothing. Only focused on what he wants and needs.
He must have been aware that Crosshair was miserable on Kamino and Hunter’s leadership was grating on him. He could have said something about it instead of just watching their conflict and doing nothing about it.
But he treats people in exactly the same was as he did the Marauder in Ep 3.
Hunter: ‘Getting thrown out of hyperspace. I’d say that’s pretty critical, Tech.’
Tech: ‘It’s not affecting life support. We’re fine.’
Hunter: ‘Are you kidding me?’
Life support is functioning so everything must be ok.
Let's not make any effort to look any further than that.
.
And then in the finale when he talks to Crosshair:
Tech: ‘Let it go, Wrecker. Crosshair has always been severe and unyeilding.
           It is his nature. You cannot change that. He cannot change that.’
Crosshair: Why are you defending me?’
Tech: ‘I am not. Understanding you does not mean that I agree with you.’
And yet he chooses to phrase his comment with a negative spin, and then writes him off as
‘Ah well, nothing you can do about it, let’s move on’
And he must know that his choice of words will hurt Crosshair.
But he also knows Crosshair won't retaliate.
Just like he didn’t when Rex punched him in TCW arc, just like he didn’t when Wrecker was slapping him with Lula.
Tech's a snide little bitch underneath that mild mannered facade.
He looks like he's no sort of threat, but he's lethal in more than one way
.
He’s kept Echo in his place just as much as the others have too.
With little quips about his trustworthiness – not that I’m saying he may not have had a good reason to be suspicious here:
Rex: ‘Don’t worry. Echo says he’s got a plan.’
Tech: ‘That makes me feel so much better.’
Rex: ‘What do you mean by that?’
Tech: ‘To be blunt, his mind belonged to the Separatists until we unplugged him.
We don’t really know where his loyalties lie.’
Rex: ‘Yeah. Well, I know.’
His dismissal of Echo’s concerns about matters of basic ship integrity in favour of a project he’s personally finding much more interesting, but one which we know he can’t actually do anything with until he can properly calibrate it 4 episodes from then (however long that actually is in in-universe time.)
Hunter: ‘Echo, lights cut out again. I thought you fixed it.’
Echo: ‘Yeah, add it to the list.’
Tech: ‘The ship got hit hard when we fled Saleucami.
            Several systems have been glitching ever since.’
Echo: ‘Repairs would go faster if I had some help.’
Tech: ‘As soon as I finish this scanner.
          Testing the functionality of our inhibitor chips takes precedence.’
Hunter: ‘But I thought you said they were defective.’
Tech: ‘A theory this device will be able to prove.
           Besides, the ship-wide diagnistic report indicated no critical systems
           were compromised.’
And his
‘Oh yes, you keep on reminding us that you don’t like the Separatists, YAWN!’ attitude:
Echo: ‘I can’t believe we’re helping a Separatist senator.’
Tech: ‘So you have said. Repeatedly.’
Like the Batch weren't supposed to be fighting the separatists too? Like they shouldn't understand the issues Echo has with them?
And not just the whole kidnapping him, performing experimental surgery on him, rewiring his body and brain and locking him in a box as a living strategic analytics service.
But the entirety of their creation as cannon fodder to fight in a war against them as well.
.
The fact that he’s never pulled up for any of this behaviour is one of the ways in which Hunter shows his poor leadership skills.
Tech is allowed to spread his project parts and other junk ALL over every surface in their shared barracks, except for other people’s bunks. He isn’t criticised for his lack of assistance unless specifically requested. He isn’t even queried about how much he actually knows vs how much he just googles for a quick answer to make himself look smarter than he really is.
Anything for an easy life – another bad play, Hunter!
