This Week in BL - Decent Line Up, Actually

Sept 2022 Wk 1

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying the most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

The Eclipse (Fri YT) Ep 4 of 15 - It’s a good thing the two leads are excellent at loooooooooooong ... pauses.... and.... the.... longing.... look..., since GMMTV seems to be bent on using them for that 90% of the time. Akk is learning teachers are bullies too, which Aye already knew of course. The single tear was s nice touch. Multiple “crash into mes” this episode. Who does Thailand think they are, Taiwan?

My Only 12% (Fri iQIYI) Ep 4 of 15 - these two put the codependent back in codependent and I don’t see how this can possibly end well. Ho boy are we in for a rough ride. I do get Love Sick vibes off this show on occasion, New discovering his roots. PAIN iS COMING! Also, second lead syndrome strikes again! Also baby noona romance side dish action. Yay!!! Also what a pleasure to see Earth stretch his acting chops again, it’s seems like forever since UWMA. Also what an identity crisis to see ones self on screen. But also THIS IS WHY WE NEED WIDELY distributed queer entertainment. So kids can see themselves on screen. Did his sister know, of course she did.

The movie Eiw and his sister watch is The Love of Siam from 2007, widely regarded as Thailand’s first BL (it’s not BL, it’s a queer coming of age movie but it is a precursor to BL). It’s about childhood friends who grow up together and fall in love, but do not end up together. It’s sad. For anyone confused during that section. This does not bode well for out heroes.

Vice Versa (Sat on YT) Ep 8 of 12 - I’m actually getting pretty bored with this one now, the movie within the movie plot line doesn’t jive with me. And I’m just frustrated by Tun intentionally keeping his real identity secret from Talay. I’m starting to watch it on speed and a half, which honestly I rarely do with GMMTVs products. Hi Perth! The time has come, Thailand, for us to have a conversation about 90s fashion. Here’s the thing, if you put an already small person in oversized clothing they just look smaller and even more childlike. Perth looks 12 in this ep. It’s an okay kiss. Presumably, now that Tun got what he wanted in terms of “somebody liking him for who he really is inside and not for his actor cred or appearance” he should tell Talay who he really is now. RIGHT?

21 Days Theory (Sun YT ) Ep 4fin - The coming out to friends thing was cute and well handled. The reason for the split was also good and the resolution was logical with Frank being the one seeking an explanation. Why it didn’t end with a dash to the airport and a kiss, I will never know. This would have jumped high in my rating if they had bothered to finish it like the YA romance it clearly was. But this ending was ultimately disappointing. 6/10 I’m not mad, but I’m not happy either.

Coffee Melody (Mon Viki) Ep 7 of 10 - Jean is full of snark and I love him. But I feel like Yi has had no character growth whatsoever. He just gets what he wants or reacts badly to not getting what he wants. That’s it, that’s his whole personality. He hasn’t matured at all and he hasn’t learned anything from his prior experiences, it just makes him frustrating and childish. Not innocent but immature. He is another one of those characters that I don’t understand why anybody likes him. He only thinks and talks about himself and his own feelings, and he’s never depicted being kind or generous as a friend or sibling or anything. I really am only watching this one for Jean and his bf: Mr. magical pink hair.

Love in the Air (Thurs iQIYI) Ep 3 of 13 - Continues it’s odd liguistic Dom gaslighting MAME agenda apace. DUMPSTER FIRE TRASH WATCH ALONG HERE.

Unforgotten Night (Weds on GaGa) Ep 11 of 12 - i moved it to double bill with Love in the Air for drinking purposes and this is a good idea. Just really boring this week but I was so tipsy I barely noticed. TRASH WATCH HERE!

Check Out (Sat IQIYI) Ep 12fin - Well Tee & Ice were cute. I liked the other guy better though. And that’s all I got. 4/10 FATALLY FLAWED NOT RECOMMENDED

What If (Mon WeTV) Is on WeTV but for VIP only (pay wall). Neighbors who grew up together and have special feelings for each other but keep it to themselves. And then... university. Still on my TBW.

Work from Heart (Thurs WeTV? YouTube?) from DV8 an office BL featuring lots of other couples. Stars Love With Benefits pairing Gameplay & Folk. It isn’t even listed on WeTV streaming in my territory, but it is airing to WeTV Thailand. No word on distribution.

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Minato’s Laundromat (Japan Weds GaGa) Ep 10 of 12 - I just love how gentle this series is with its characters and with us. Japan can be so harsh about both. SQUEE WATCH ALONG

About Youth (Taiwan Mon GaGa) Ep 1-2 of 10 - It’s truly great. Taiwan's Love Sick featuring a modern queer take on AePete: popular but painfully lonely rich kid, Guang (complete with evil pressure-cooker tiger parents) meets and is basically adopted by poor nerdy (secret rockstar) Qizhang. HE EVEN HAS AE’S TOTE!!! Secondary couple is Guang’s adorable bestie Ray and a cafe boy (we think). Lots of BL trope drops but also this is seriously queer and very Taiwan with an earnestness I haven’t seen since My Ride. it’s got the charm of Takura but with more depth to it, less surface cute and more real world authenticity. Not that I normally like that in my BL, but I’ll forgive Taiwan (and the Philippines) for their sticky almost dirty style if it is this endearing and engaging (see Gameboys). I didn’t even mind the singing, and that’s saying a lot. Did you see our boy Wilson Liu (H3:MODC & H4) showed up?

Takara-kun and Amagi-kun (Japan Thurs GaGa & Viki) 3 of 8 - also really flipping good. It’s just so great with both of them liking each other, and already in a relationship, and both so nervous about what to do. It’s just completely and totally high school first love. I have no good reason for loving it as much as I do. The twist of Amagi admitting to everything and his confusion over sex was absolutely brilliant, especially as we can all understand Takara’s reaction (leave the room) except poor Amagi. Also Takara’s dead pan “this boy is fucking killing me” expression is brilliant. Can’t wait until we get his POV next week.

Papa & Daddy 2 (Mon GaGa) Ep 5 of 8 - This was mostly the dads being dads and dealing with dad problems. And since that’s the name of the show, I’m not too upset about it. Honestly, I would’ve ended the series on this episode.

Want to See You (Vietnam YT) Ep 14fin - And now it’s suddenly slapstick and comedic? Tonally, this show was all over the place, hugely inconsistent in characterization and motivation. No clean narrative through line. Nothing anyone did actually ever made sense. As a VBL it probubly should get a 6, but it gets 5/10 out of pure frustration. WATCH ONLY IF YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO

In Case You Missed It

Kiss X Kiss X Kiss - Perfect Scandal can be found on Billibi, these are SHORT 5-8 minutes sample pack micro-romances: 2 feature BL-ish setups. The one with the idols I got excited about last week (Idol Kiss) and another featuring a reluctant boss and flirty subordinate (A Sweet Kiss). Both are cute but mostly just, ya know, kissing. (Reminds me a bit of Korea’s early Triple Do You Want). The interesting thing about the idol one, is one of the leads is ALSO in a het installment. He gives great chemistry with both his partners. And I think he’s a good example of an actor being just, ya know, an actor about the physical part of a romance. Which I take about in terms of never assuming queerness based on performance, here.

BL Express posted a review of Fudanshi Bartender no Tashinami (AKA Accomplishment of Fudanshi Bartender). It sounds A LOT like another kind of Absolute BL thing from Japan, but focused on the fudanshi side of the equation and I could not be less intersted so I will not be watching.

Gossip

New Pinoy BL from OXIN Films (Rainbow Prince) announced, called Tie The Not.

Semantic Error the movie (with a re-edit + added footage) aired for Korean, Taiwanese, and Vietnamese audiences. No idea on further distribution.

EEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Strongberry's upcoming romantic-comedy Choco Milk Shake will be 8 episodes with total run-time around 80 mins! A full length KBL from Strongberry!!! Yay!

Next Week Looks Like This:

Ending: Unforgotten Night thank effing heck.

I posted a full September line up here!

This week’s best moments?

Ironic much? (Check Out reviews itself)

Supportive friends are the best (21 Days Theory).

The brave little tote bag that could LIVES!!!! It is reborn. It has crossed oceans! (From Love By Chance to About Youth.)

More guest cameos for Taiwan!

The Viki translations won, this week on Takara & Amagi’s weekly sub-off (no D/s pun intended)

Noona romance side in My Only 12%!

Perceptive boy. (The Eclipse)

Way better if it’s just: I’d eat it right from your face. (Vice Versa)

Just such a classic series of yaoi shots (visuals) to end this week’s ep of Minato’s Laundromat.

(last week)

Nouveau Drama Chinois de 36 episodes de 45minutes

Titre: Warm on a Cold Night

Genre: Enquêtes et époque, Comédie, Fantastique (loup garou), Romance et amitié.

Quelques acteurs:

Histoire:

Su Jiu Er (Li Yi Tong) est une jeune policière talentueuse et sympathique, avec un sens de l'investigation affûté. Originaire du royaume Qian, elle est faible et a tout le temps froid.

Au cours de ses enquêtes, elle rencontre Han Zheng (Bi Wen Jun), un membre de la famille dirigeante du royaume Qi.Celui-ci est doté d'un esprit de loup, ce qui lui confère une force et une agilité phénoménales. Cela rend également sa peau incroyablement chaude au toucher, ce qui donne à Su Jiu Er une irrésistible envie de se blottir contre lui ! Cependant, son manque de capacités relationnelles le rend dur et agressif avec tous ceux qu'il rencontre.

Mais les opposés s'attirent et ce duo insolite tisse des liens de plus en plus étroits au cours de leur enquête sur une étrange affaire de meurtre impliquant leurs deux royaumes !

Leur relation soufflant le chaud et le froid les conduira-t-elle jusqu'à l'amour ?

Avis perso: beaucoup d'enquêtes, peu de romance j'aurai aimé en avoir plus et sans qu'ils se tournent autour... la romance ne vient que dans les derniers épisodes (les enquêtes se suivent sous fond politique.. pas trop mon genre). J'aime le personnage Han Zeng, un peu moins celui de Su Jiu Er. Coté costume j'ai déjà vu mieux aussi, je les trouve un peu fade. Des blancs dans l'histoire donnent l'impression d'avoir loupé quelque chose (Han Zeng gravement blessé et le moment d'après il va très bien) mais malgré tout cela c'est un drama qui se laisse regarder. Je reste pour le coté fantastique et la romance :) Good ending :)

Trailer:

Pour le voir:

Iqiyi ou Viki

Historical linguistics for my old conlangs

Before my conlang settled in what now it’s called Q́iitjk, it went through a bunch of iterations. One of these versions, alng with the majority of them, were lost in teh depths of one of my hard drives. I’d like to share here some phrases in one of these lost langs with their supposed translations taken from the document detailing the history of the Q̀i civilization.

Anmhuehur ha ijirehur imir iborin hu irer ha hu ibhon ecejarin, ewar eres enhu heainrhu hehu ar. "This is the year in which the south and the west will be forcefully tamed, like the violent and blood-thyrsthy beasts they are.”

Hehu Hi iwaru

Azeecaz

Qi Ixu “village of the Moon''

Abi qeqaigir eres ibir eres imirir eres Irer qa Iqi "with cooperation everything is possible"

Iqainru “cosmic conquest”

Qier Erixu "Artificial Altar"

Abunainr egerequr ereriqu imainru... Iwar arer qequqaequ egerequr igiginarer qa "the rumbling of a diseased cattle... a horn rubbing against a rusty metal plate"

Abquariwarebuna qa quariwarebuna qainr… Igirariwarebuna eer qequqaqu "The lights were flickering… it was freaking us out"

I am unsure about how any of this works but, if my memory does not decieve me and if teh general characteristics are the same that ended up in Q́iitjk, teh word order is VSO, the nouns are not inflected and the verbs are inflected A LOT. Phonology-whise I can’t say anything for certain either but I think that ⟨h⟩ was supposed to be the glottal stop /ʔ/ or some other uvular/laryngeal stop and ⟨q⟩ was used for /tɕ/ or something (bc Jan Misali once said that Pinyin was “Rad”). I’m pretty sure i tried to avoid diagraphs but those ⟨nh⟩, ⟨bh⟩, ⟨mh⟩ are driving me insane. I think they might be /ŋ/, /β/ and /ɱ/ (because I was kʷɪɻkɨ like that) but it’s only because I don’t think I would have been ablel to pronounce a nasal-laryngel stop sequence quickly withouth butchering it into a fricative. Phonology aside, this mess still looks leagues better than what Q́iitjk became ngl

Abunainr egerequr ereriqu imainru... Iwar arer qequqaequ egerequr igiginarer qa (old mistery version)

Þallènlagè xəkè śìnlu łuxa ńȉ lnslþjk q́ikon, xìn þùqik lè xìn tlìłńïl xȉ łxònlègiì xòlènlìxòńkkì ńȉ kì lnslþjk, þań łłńrkjk śeltȉlèq́èc lè lklþaçunu (Q́iitjk)
