Hii!
I've seen that you mentioned in the recent weekly roundup that the public claiming is one of your fav tropes (I also saw your separate post on this one).
Out of curiosity, do you have your ultimate favourite example(s) of this trope?
Thank you for your service and have a great day!
Favorite Public Claiming...
Oooo, what a fun question. lemme think... (post in reference pointed out this moment in ep 4 of Laws of Attraction)

To answer your question?
I just gotta go with the Thai BL of my heart...
Dean vs Alex in the cafeteria (Until We Meet Again).
Tumblr media
It is such a comforting moment for me. I enjoy rewatching that whole segment.
Also, It's a particularly big deal under the context of the red thread. So it's narratively highly significant.
After all, a great deal of went wrong with Korn in the last life was his inability to claim and be out with In. There is simply no way Dean will let that happen the second time around.
It's like he built his whole personality and purpose specifically to be able to hold on to, keep, and be public with Pharm when he finally finds him. Alex even says/implies, "I wouldn't believe it, I wouldn't give up, except that it's you."
I mean, I have a real soft spot for SOTUS and the arm throw (both times) and PitchBank's modern iteration of this in Golden Blood. And I admit, that's the first I thought of when you asked, but the surrounding BLs aren't my favorites.
Speaking of, My Engineer actually has a quite a few good ones.
I also have a really adoration for two friendship group based claiming meets teasing moments.
Dark Blue Kiss and their ending sequence. Because PeteKao's uni group kinda knew all along. And them eating and teasing together is so cute.

And the high school version ultimate being forced into acknowledging the thing EVERYONE knows.
Tumblr media
Of course. I defy you to watch Love Sick and not totally fall in love with Noh.
The most extreme one and probably my favorite moment of an otherwise pretty unbearable show was Can kissing Tin in A Chance At Love.
Tumblr media
I gotta say, for various reasons, this is Thai BL's trope to lose. We don't see it much elsewhere.

Don’t know if you clocked in on this.

But apparently when Wen says this in the 1st episode, he actually says ”I like to eat old people”. It’s a shame they censored it.
Yeah he used gin "to eat" which can also be slang for to sexually consume.
(Not the same euphemism as "eat you out" in English.)
You can see one of the first recognizable BL uses of this in UWMA the first time Dean visits Pharm's condo.
