Be My Favorite - Flaming Hot Trash Watch Action
Ready for this?
Tumblr media
Adapted from the y-novel You Are My Favorite by JittiRain this is one of those “rewrite the past to change the future.” Starring Krist (SOTUS) + Fluke Gawin (DBK, Not Me). I expect this to be low heat, full of LIES and manipulation.
12 eps of approx 45 min fresh content each, and I guess I am drinking on frigay for the next 3 damn months 
Main tropes: time travel/slip/loop, paranormal, university setting, soft romance, low heat, sunshine/tsundere with GMMTV’s heavy hand on classic Thai BL tropes, product placement, and high production values.
Trailer | MDL
I’m getting some shizz outta my system before I start putting the alcohol into it...
Tumblr media
Story issues 
Let’s get this on the table. I have a mixed relationship with Jittirain’s stuff because unlike Mame who is trash to her characters with plot, Jittirain is trash to plot with characters. All characters (what limited characterization there is) will be obedient to the plot and act against personality the moment it is necessary for whatever insanity is required for audience manipulation. We The Watchers WILL feel jerked around by these jerks (but as this is GMMTV there will be no actual jerking). We WILL be lied to, and the characters will lie to each other FOR NO GOOD REASON. 
In addition to Be My Favorite JittiRain is behind: Vice Versa, 2gether, Fish Upon the Sky, and Theory of Love. Mmm humm. Yeah. Drinks are defiantly required. 
Tumblr media
Actor issues: 
Krist: Who knew Krist would do a BL again? Like seriously? His career has been riddled with controversy and his skills as an actor widely challenged. Regarding the first, this is not that blog, take that discourse/cancel culture elsewhere. For the second? I will judged his acting based on the usual criteria: this BL, this role, this pairing, this script, and the fact that this is Thai style acting. Okay?
Gawin/Fluke: I will likely slip and call him Gawin because that’s what he used when he first crossed my radar. I have said this before but he looks like an ex of mine. So my baggage with him is all personal. Said ex and I are amicable, but it wigs me out sometimes. They even have a similar voice. I will try to get over this. 
Tumblr media
Also the both SCREAM straight. I mean I don’t wanna judge insult or anything but these boys got breeder smeared all over them. 
Okay, so what are we doing here?
Well, as previously established: DRINKING.
AND
A new trash watch! 
Although there is always the (however faint) possibility it will become a praise watch. Sometimes that happens. But this is Jittirain so... I doubt it. 
Ready?
Here we go! 
Episode 1: Sake & Fear 
I have heartburn already. Or maybe that’s the extra chili I put on my noodles + booze + EXISTENTIAL DREAD. 
Kawi = loser, poor, stupid, shy, and friendless (AKA Japan’s ordinary bottom uke archetype) - he’s a downer, this is an issue with this kind of character, not likable. 
Pearmai = the sunshine faen fatale Kawi has a crush on 
Piseang = the tall handsome cute popular perfect seme, plays basketball perfectly (waves at Love O2O), is also a DJ (nash)
Most of this ep was spent establishing this dynamic and some kind of secret santa for college kids, a magic time travel snow globe, and the fact that the wrong couple got together. 
Why is there a dandelion in the snow globe? 
Is it a wishes thing? Do they have that superstition in Thailand?
A 12 year time jump is v Japanese. Which life-point is closer to Krist’s actual age? Ooo, half a bottle of sake and I’m salty af. 
Tumblr media
Apparently Kawi still has same problems and the same haircut as he did as a fresher.
Could we please talk about this? It’s in ALL BL. Why does NO ONE change their hair as they age? My hair changes by the week. 
Meanwhile our ordinary bottom has turned into a wild imbecilic tsundere and our seme clearly likes that and I am too drunk for this. So is Kawi. 
You know what, it’s not as terrible as I thought it would be. I don’t like it but I can see the characters becoming appealing. Maybe? Hopefully? Why do I do this to myself?
I’m not a monster, I will give it a chance. 
At least no one has yet picked up a guitar.
Tumblr media
See you next week, same Jittirain time, same Jittiran place, new bottle of sake.  
Episode 2: Nigori & Serenity 
The sake I’m drinking tonight is described on the bottle “silky & mild” which is also a legit review of Gawin’s acting. 
WAIT A MINUTE.
What is going on? 
What am I feeling? 
They’re lying on the grass talking to each other in a meaningful way. It’s cute. I am enjoying it. How appropriately collegiate. 
Tumblr media
Is this... enjoyment?
Am I enjoying this show?
OMG I AM. 
help 
I ate booze-filled chocolates AS WELL AS SAKE. 
Maybe it’s the double dose? 
Am I becoming silky & mild?
I got a slow down. I can’t do this every week for 12 weeks in a row. I’m not in uni anymore. I might end up being a nice person if I continue down this road. Can’t have that.  
Honestly, I do like the fantasy of getting to re-live your college years as a cooler version of yourself. 
Although, frankly, I did fine with mine. 
(Oh thank fuck, asshole me is back.) 
Tumblr media
I don’t know where Max came from but he is officially the most interesting character in this show. 
Also... does he look a bit like a bad boy bunny to anyone else? 
Tumblr media
It isn’t actually like it, but I am getting a distinct 2gether vibes from this show. It makes it feel kinda dated for BL. What a fucking crazy thing to say. Ignore me, I’m drunk. 
OOOOO.... Nong teasing. Very nice.  
The over dramatic drunken kiss made me giggle. First time Krist has been properly kissed in a BL.
Sigh. 
What do I do? 
I’m enjoying it! 
Damn it. 
Tumblr media
Episode 3: Tipsy Waffling 
I was out at the club, came home faintly tipsy. Frankly I feel a little unwell, so I’m not gonna drink anymore. So this is an unprecedented semi-sober trash watch. I’m not sure if I’m ready but so far this show been beating expectations, and I don’t expect a derailment until next ep so I’m feel okay about my life choices. 
Tumblr media
Okay Gawin is good. I’ll give you that . His little moment if realization (and giving up). The “oh shit” look. 
Wait.
That’s Title! 
Tumblr media
When did he leave Wabi Sabi and join GMMTV’s stable? 
Look I kinda enjoyed this bit, because it was a joke.
Tumblr media
BUT I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE ENDING.
Is this the beginning of the JittiRain of Doom? Or it this just good angsty story telling?
Tumblr media
No way to know until next week.
(JittiRain of Doom - see what I did there? Aren’t I a clever little lush dragon?) 
I should go to bed now. 
I think we can safely say clouds are on the horizon and whether this is good storytelling or bad, only episode 4 will tell. 
Episode 4: It’s Happened! The Suck! 
not in a good way @heretherebedork​ said ep 4, can they call it or WHAT?! 
I’m officially calling Kwai’s pink haired Maximum hotness bestie “my café fae” and YOU can’t stop me. I love him. Or I want to be him? Or I AM him?
Difficult to know.
Checks own hair.
Not pick at at the moment. Mostly blue actually.
Tumblr media
(I weirdly adore that blue open weave draw-string vest thing he’s rocking. Checks own closet. Wonders idly about turning a mesh laundry bag into a shirt.) 
Anygay... Café fae and I are running away together and not putting up with any of this Jittirain nonsense.
Right? 
Because this beach frolic...?  
Too cringe. Too awkward. I really don’t like all of embarrassment factor for everyone, not to mention humiliation and hazing and older kids picking on younger kids.
I’ve been done with this plot divice since SOTUS. And I’ll take it in small doses from Korea but no more Thailand. Stop it. And...
is that...
A GUITAR 
!!!
Tumblr media
NO SINGING.
Oh, I hate this show.
Everyone listening in on the phone while he’s humiliating himself with a girl? This is fully terrible. 
I’m so uncomfortable with this whole episode. 
Tumblr media
And yet. Secure. Because finally we are in the territory I was expecting. But ALSO I can’t bear it. 
Please make it stop.
At least Piseng is a decent human being.
And Pair. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Screw all y’all. I’m eloping with Pair.
Wait.
What about my cafe fae? Hummmm. 
Ah! Got it. Thrupple! 
Tumblr media
I’m not gonna lie. That was rough going. 
And I am not OK.
Although I’m digging this thrupple scheme of mine. 
Episode 5: I Am V Drunk
Tumblr media
For those of you following the soga of ABL is a lush... 
I got my cocktail! 
Then got distracted by meeting colleagues at the bar. 
Then went for dinner and wine.
Then got another cocktail and finally made it back to the room. 
So by the time I started watching this week’s installment I was... quite drunk. 
Take this recap with a grain of salt margarita salt rim... no... not that kind of rimming, that’s just in KP, sadly... wait... what am I doing? I got distracted. This is GMMTV. Def no rimming. 
So! 
Kawi deserves his new asshole friends (stop it ABL no rimming). 
I just don’t like him. He’s too straight and whiney and homophobic. 
Could we have a romance between Pisang and Max? 
Asking for a friend me. 
Bet there would be rimming. They both seem very game. Just saying.
Different show ABL. Different show. 
Where was I? Apparently I went to the land of Bed Friends for a moment there. 
Tumblr media
Why does anyone like Kawi? 
Max deserves better.  
Pear deserves better. 
Pisang deserves better. 
Tumblr media
OMG!!! His utter wistful yearning over the happy gay bar. Poor baby. 
Awe don’t run away from Max. We love Max. Max is the best. You NEED a Max in your life. We all do! 
Someone described Max as “tired gay,” and I feel this keenly. 
Tumblr media
NO SINGING. 
I DON’T LIKE WHERE THIS THREAD IS GOING. 
NO NO NO NO NO 
SKIP! Skipskipskip. 
Tumblr media
Next week look like a classic ep 6 kiss then angst. Whatever. 
It was fine. 
This was a fine installment. 
I’m very drunk. 
Hotel all spinny. 
Hi, bed! Make me a sammitch. 
Episode 6: I Am Less Drunk Than I Should Be
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just wish this were Pisaeng’s story instead of Kawi’s. It would be a lot better. In fact, it is a lot better. Any time we get PS alone or with any other character it’s a better narrative. Any time with him and Max talking it’s the best of everything, That’s all I want on my screen.
In fact, Max is all I want. 
I love his “care bear kpop” clothes. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is definitely one of those shows where I don’t understand why anyone likes the central character - his friends, his love interests, his father, his audience, tumblr. 
No one should like him. He started out a loser and he’s only getting worse, and nasty to boot. 
Tumblr media
Yes, it’s good we see him apologize, but there’s no logic behind the choices that led him to needing to make the apology in the first place! 
Tumblr media
(No one does, honey.) 
We are heading into classic Jitiirain where are the characters are going to betray us and themselves in order to serve the narrative. 
And I’m not drunk enough for this. 
Tumblr media
Honestly? I think Krist what is miss-cast as well. 
I’m not in the anti-Krist faction but just imagine... what if Kawi had been played by Khaotung? He has a much softer more dynamic screen presence. I think he could’ve carried even Jittirain’s patented nonsense. KT is... in fact... CUTE. 
Gawin is not an issue. (Which surprises me, since I came into this with a bias against him.) 
Tumblr media
Because we can see PS thinks that K is cute even before the script felt the need to tell us this. 
Even when he’s being an arsehole, PS’s eyes are all soft for him. I guess some guys just are attracted to arseholes. 
Heh. 
See what I did there?
Meanwhile I hate PS’s mother! 
She = evil. 
Tumblr media
I RECOGNIZE that balcony!
PS’s house/apartment thingy is the same as MaxNat celebrity pad in Y-Destiny. Another one for the location trackers.
That’s it, that’s all I got. 
Only one gay pun for you this evening. 
I have one job to do and I’m blowing it.
snerk
Nighty night. Don’t let the mosquitos bite leave hickeys. 
Episode 7: NO SINGING
I guess Kawi is one of those “straights” who just gets gayer the drunker he is. I know the type. 
Boozing the Kinsey Scale. 
Beer goggle queers. 
Cockeyed. 
Three sheets to the flame. 
Dick wasted. 
What else do we call them?
Oh yeah... cock tease. 
Tumblr media
Episode 8: STOP SINGING 
Pisaeng for these last two episodes...
Tumblr media
(singing cat never gets old, bite me) 
Good for you Pisaeng for standing up for yourself. Stop letting the straight boy jerk you around. 
Tumblr media
(I see you in your matched couple shirts.) 
Omg I HATE Kawi just WHY IS ANYONE FRIENDS WIH HIM? 
Stop. Just this show would be so much better if he weren’t in it. 
I’m glad he lost Pisaeng and I enjoyed watching him cry. 
Even if he still made everything about himself. 
Tumblr media
We return yet again to the fact that I love Max. Max and I are running away together. 
Pisaeng is just never Kawi’s priority, whereas the opposite is always the case. Talk about one sided love friendship relationship everything.  
Tumblr media
Kawi the coward. 
To little too late. 
I do keep thinking about Big Eden with this series, Kawi just seems so straight no matter what he says or does or kisses.  
Poor Pisaeng he gets what he wants but it’s all out of pity, fear, and desperation. 
And all he wants is a chance to flirt? 
Is he an actual saint?
Tumblr media
Fuck this damn show.

As always with these trash watches, I update the original post until Tumblr has a brain fry and won’t let me anymore. Then it becomes an updated repost. Life in the dumpster fire is never dull.

I just want everyone to know that writing sex scenes is the bane of my existence and I regret every single life choice that has led me to this moment
And, before you ask: No, it's not Who Holds the Devil.
But is it Yo Han and Ga On?
Yes, yes it is.
And I cannot BELIEVE how kinky and oblivious Ga On manages to be, both at the same time. He'll definitely be the death of me (and Yo Han) before this is over.
Just...

Not to be dramatic but I'm hitting burn out again. My statistician is really pleased with my thesis and wants me to get it published but that means adding several more months to my research project and I honestly don't know if I have it in me. I'm so tired. So very tired and sad. I just want to sleep for three straight years.

Wedding Plan Trash Watch!
You ready to snuffle-kiss the burn? 
Tumblr media
Before I start...
Find out about Mame and the Mameverse here.
Find my other trash watches of her and others here. 
We all know what we are getting in for, 7 episodes of BLduggery. To crane your neck as you drive by the car wreck or not... that is the question. Me? I'm wallowing in the guts. 
Episode 1 - In which I craft an ode to Dumpster Fires Everywhere 
I am sorry, but they opened with Battle Hymn of the Republic for PrapaiSky’s wedding? I busted out laughing. 
Tumblr media
Also, you KNOW I can’t just let that go. 
Ready?
LET’S SING! (Bet you’d never thought I’d type those words). 
Battle Hymn of BL Tumblr
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the trash This is barely even BL it’s just Mame writing slash  She hath set ablaze such garbage in pursuit of all our cash But the trash watch must go on! 
 (Buh buh ba buh) 
Glory, glory hallelujah!  Mame hit us with a sewer.  Spoiling all our fun, Oh the shit storm has begun, But the trash watch must go on! 
I have seen the dumpster-fires of a hundred BL tropes She will sacrifice her ukes ’til they’ve lost all of their hopes We will watch in righteous anger while the refuse burns and smokes But the trash watch must go on! 
 (Buh buh ba buh) 
Glory, glory hallelujah!  Life’s rough for a BL reviewer.  When OG BL fans run afoul of Mame stans  But the trash watch must go on! 
 Buh buh buh buh! 
Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here for the next 7 weeks. Yes some of my rhyming conventions are awkward af but I never claimed to be a filker. Now where was I?
Oh YES, 
STILL AT THE VERY BEGINNING. 
Where have I seen this seme before? Oh! Top Secret Together. 
Micky D sponsorship? Nice. I’m impressed. 
Too many sound effects, abort! Is that the sound tech from Lovely Writer I sniff? Someone please fire his ass. Yes, it must be him. Only a straight dude misuses buttons like that. 
I feel Nuea’s pain I too hate the gym. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This better not be in one of those situations where after instalove our seme arranges for the wedding planner boy he likes to plan his own wedding so that he can marry him at the end. 
Lots of pronouns going astray in that sentence, but you get my meaning. 
Drag baby around. Locker room. Kabeldon 
Tumblr media
Honestly? And this is not usually a criticism I lob at Mame ( I know is there anything I have lobbed at her?) but the leads seem a bit stiff and uninspired. 
It is just me? 
Episode 2 - What’s this? Oh is that boredom? 
What are these boys in these office BLs doing behind their desks on those computers? They never actually seem to be working at all. They’re like brochure stock art ads for boys on computers. 
I had to skip most of the humiliating stuff with the food in the car and whatever was going on because… aargh. 
They keep ordering food in this episode of nobody’s eating it. And it looks really good and I’m hungry and this is very upsetting to me. 
Tumblr media
Lom is just totally jerking Nuea around. Just tell him what your relationship is with the bride. 
There’s no need to be so fucking coy about it. 
Tumblr media
I love the flaming yelling fit from Nuea tho.  
It was also a good kiss. 
But that’s what we expect from a Mame. 
Mame giveth and mame taketh away. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Somewhat dull episode frankly. Even with the kiss.
Sigh. What have I become?
Episode 3 - WHAT IS THIS? There is nothing about this episode that pleased me even a tiny bit. Except Noel’s hair. But that wasn’t part of the script. 
Buckle up, I got A LOT to say. 
It’s a pleasure to welcome you back to your normal and expected ABL meets Mame interface where... ABL LOSES THEIR TINY MIND. 
Right on schedule it feels like. 
Ready?
Oh who am I kidding, you sadists life for this shizz. And you can’t tell me you don’t. 
Lom is so frustrating. 
Tumblr media
I wanna punch him too. Sing it, sister! 
Random water sports. (And not of the kind one might expect from Mame. Stop it. You know she would go there. She’d think it was edgy.) 
Tumblr media
Peeps! 
We need a name for when a BL reviews itself. 
It keeps happening. 
Tumblr media
Should you tell him everything? 
Yes. 
1000 times yes. 
I’m basically screaming it at the screen. 
TELL HIM!!!! 
You tricked him into a date without telling him a single thing about what’s actually going on. Are you insane? 
What the hell. 
You keep kissing him but he is planning your wedding. How fucked up are you? You monster 
Tumblr media
A Mame show calling out its own exploitive sexism is so fucking awkward. 
Mame. Sweetheart. Snookums. Sugarbeans. Shaken-baccon. You don’t have enough fucking talent to go meta. Leave it to the better BLs to follow trends. Your shizz is old fashioned and that’s why people like it. Don’t try to be classy, it makes this whole shit show just look even more shabby. 
Tumblr media
Poor baby. 
Now he’s doubting himself completely. 
What are these assholes doing to you? 
Come with me. 
I’m going to transport you to this other terrible BL trash watch happening right now, where there is a LOVELY adorable boy named Max and I think you would be perfect together. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So it’s basically just Narnia-level closet cases we are dealing with here? 
THAT’S IT?
THAT’S THE EXCUSE FOR THIS LEVEL OF MANIPULATION?
WHAT IS GOING ON? 
Tumblr media
Nuea is such a cutie.
I want to punch Lom all over again.   
Noel looks v pretty as a blond. 
The proposal sequence was unnecessary. But at least I don’t wanna punch anyone. 
Tumblr media
THIS IS NOT AN EXCUSE for lying. For manipulation. For not understanding how you’re betraying another person’s faith in himself. 
Especially not if you’re in the position of power: social, cultural, employer. 
Why doesn’t Mame EVER understand this? 
Tumblr media
You can’t have a character that is sincere and earnest in love and yet entirely lacking in all forms of integrity. 
This is driving me crazy. 
No one is in the show is as crazy as this show is making me.
Tumblr media
I started this episode wanting to punch Lom, and I’m ending this episode wanting to punch Lom.
That’s a mame plot for ya. 
No character development at all, on any side of the screen. 
And someone, mostly me, is always left with a mad desire to punch something. 
Frankly, I kinda want to punch the screen.
Episode 4 - I Am Going to Start Drinking
I like consent especially when “no” is activated. But this being Mame she shoe horns it in and then the seme ignores it. 
It’s so awkward. She’s actually incapable of making any non-problematic tropes sexy. It’s like there is only one lane for her shows and that lane is...
the WORST 
Tumblr media
My “Punch Lom in the face 2023” campaign continues.
I don’t see how he can ever become a sympathetic character. He just trundles along lying by omission (when speaking up would make everything better). I hate him. 
I’m glad we get to see Nuea suffering, now show Lom what he has done and make him lose the boy. 
No? No.
Instead Lom gets rewarded with sex for being a sleazy lying gutless jerk? Well terds to both you fine gentlemen. 
Tumblr media
I mean, very gay of you, Nuea sweetie. 
“Because just SOOOO hot” being the #1 excuse in my personal “I slept with WHAT?” experience. (Heh, to be fair I’m often the WHAT? in that equation. I live to be someone’s bad mistake... just not Lom-level-bad. 
Where was I? 
Oh yeah, Gaga has the sex scene. FYI. Came outta nowhere, that sex scene did. Very disjointed... not that kind of joint. Not that kind either.
It’s not a particularly impressive sex scene, which is disappointing. Because WHY ELSE WOULD WE BE WATCHING?
I mean, if you’re going to have your characters (and by extension us) forfeit all integrity and taste in order to watch your stupid show, the least you could do is give us decent chemistry. 
I’m not saying this is worse than LITA but at least LITA was hot.
It wasn’t anything else. But it was hot.
This this is 
not hot. 
In conclusion: if Nuea’s baby bro doesnt’t punch Lom in the face next week I will have to start drinking on Weds...
oh wait!
BMF ends this Friday! I can switch to drinking mid week!
YES
(I have a new rule: only one BL a week is allowed to drive me to drink in any give rotation.) 
Imma preemptively point out that I am aware that bearding and lavender marriages are still quite common all over the world. I would whole heartedly support a good depiction of it. (Even one where it stays fix in the beard position.) This is NOT a good depiction. 
I shall draw your attention to 2017′s rarely discussed (not really BL) We Are Gamily out of... you guessed it... Taiwan. You can argue with me about this only AFTER you have watched that. 
Okay, back to the trash watch. 
Episode 5 - I Neglected to Drink and that was a Mistake
Ate a lot of crap traveling home today (feel gross) + tumblr new desktop UX has me pissed + Mame & alcohol? I’m not sure I’d survive. So no alcohol. 
Here we go. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Poor Nuea feels so guilty. 
Please save me from ever feeling that way after sex. *shudder* 
Before you ask, to the best of my knowledge, I have never slept with a married person. I’ve slept with married people... married to each other mind you... but I hope that makes it clear everyone was consensual. (I recommend it, by the way. Being a unicorn is lots of fun.) 
Where was i? 
We were dealing with punching Lom not my misspent youth. 
(looks at calendar. wait, that was last month.) 
PUNCH LOM 2023! 
Tumblr media
Queen! 
Tumblr media
I love her.
It wasn’t a physical punch but a verbal one is almost as good. (And can be more damaging in the long run.) 
Could we please still have an actual punch?
Pretty please?
Mame punches her characters all the time. And no character ever deserved a punching more than Lom. 
I do wish there was a nice boy back home to scoop Nuea up. 
Tumblr media
That line of boys wanting him, could we see it, not be told it? 
Tumblr media
I do like the random sinshine hyung side couple. 
Omg. COLD MICKY D?! 
That might just be the most objectionable moment in this whole show. 
And that’s a tall order. 
Pun intended.
Tumblr media
(straight, HA! pun not intended but still very much THERE) 
Tumblr media
Was I pleased we got multiple characters who are just outright gay? Yes. 
But representation has not been one of Mame’s issues. 
I mean Tharn was one of the first openly gay seme leads in a Thai BL, and she also had rep for lube and condoms in that show. That’s not the issue with TharnType. Or Mame. 
Her issues tend to revolve around story structure and audience manipulation. 
Tumblr media
Was I pleased that Nuea knew what was going on? Yes, I’m glad he’s not totally clueless. 
I still want Lom to be punched in the face and I’m still mad at this show. 
Tumblr media
Episode 6 - Too hot to drink, still a Mistake
I finally figured out my real problem with Lom. It’s not that he was closeted and manipulative without good reason (although he is). It’s not that he lied and strung Nuea along for a lot longer than was necessary (because he did). It is that he basically does everything for himself and his own ends. Even when he’s confessing his love it comes off as flat because it isn’t about Nuea and what Nuea wants or needs, it’s about Lom wants.
Tumblr media
Hanging a lampshade on it doesn’t make it right. 
It was good bridge kiss. And car kiss. And sex kisses. 
There is something corrupted grunge romantic asking the person you love most in the world to hide that love and climb back into the closet with you for the sake of your nasty arse family (is that a queer taboo, hum). I’m not saying lavender marriages are necessarily wrong, I’m just saying it’s an interesting plot twist in a BL. 
I think we HAVE to hold this up and examine it in stark contrast to the final ep of Bad Buddy. It’s interesting how the closet retreat didn’t bother me at all in BB, and I thought it was quite a clever and elegant ending twist. Whereas here it’s just annoying. It’s not making me as angry as it probably should. But it is annoying as a narrative conceit and denouement.
Tumblr media
Can I ask a question.
 It’s not a serious question, of course. 
What is up with all of the shows this year having dates on lakes featuring that thing where you ride a funny little floaty-boat while being dragged behind a fast boat. I’m sure it has a name, but I could not care less. New sponsor? 
The sex scene was fine. But I have to say, I wish they had leaned into the fact that Lom is a virgin and Nuea has more experience. It would’ve been a really interesting dynamic to see honestly represented on screen.
In conclusion, Nuea is a saint and next week everything comes to a head that didn’t already get head this episode.
Episode 7 - Finally I’m drinking! 
I am having a tiki beverage this evening to round out this show. Coconut rum and mango popping Boba are involved. Don’t judge. I have the alcohol palate of a 7 year old. 
I’m ready! Let’s shave this beard!
Tumblr media
And, well, that was a pink saturated drama of the mothers in law. Enjoyable lakorn style scenery chewing. The ladies seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Lom pretending to be sad and pitiful. Also funny. 
Using his evil against his mom is acceptable. Suddenly his manipulative lying ways are working in the right direction. 
Tumblr media
Honestly? 
This was a fine ending, I’m not mad at it. 
They managed to keep Lom in character until the end, he remained deceitful.  I would never trust him, but clearly Nuea is willing to ride that dragon. 
I guess 7/10? 
If you can tolerate Mame and liars (kinda the same thing) you’ll be fine with this show. 
But, frankly? Lom as a character would sit better amongst the drama bananas of Only Friends.
In summation: 
A lackluster Mame offering with less of her usual stellar chemistry, but all of her usual manipulation. An innocent wedding planner falls haplessly and hopelessly in love with a groom who relentlessly pursues him, even though he’s about to marry someone else.

Lo mejor que puedes hacer con la ansiedad es expresarla, como sea: con palabras, con dibujos, con bailes. Como sea. Pero sácala o te acabará consumiendo.

I have plenty and I need to stop.

So um what if writing fic just turns into an excuse to make up and write excerpts from completely invented academic works about the time and place your story is set
I definitely don't have a document just for a fictional scholarly book about the impact this fic's Ed and Stede had on the world complete with chapter titles that I'm considering using as a framing device for the whole story or anything 😳🫣
If I was feeling intellectually dishonest I could blame @bizarrelittlemew and this incredible medical journal article fic for my current predicament but this really is just me on a mountain of my own bullshit again
