#week two: gray

[absolutebl]

This Week in BL - Lesbians WIN & I'm excited about a Thai BL again!

Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.

April 2024 Wk 4

Ongoing Series - Thai

My Stand-In (Thai Fri iQIYI) ep 1 of 12 eps - Adaptation of Chinese novel Professional Body Double by Shui Qiang Cheng. Stars Up (Lovely Writer) and Poom (Bake Me Please) directed by the same team as KP (not a recommendation IMHO - my biggest criticism of KP was the clashing directing styles). The MDL description made it sound complicated af but actually it's not so bad. In fact it's GOOD.

Stuntman Joe dies on the job and wakes up in the body of another Joe who has an entirely different life. But our Joe just gets his new body right back into his old existence, full of friends, enemies, and one troublesome ex. Poom is absolutely killing it in the lead. Mek is perfectly cast as the Actor du Jerk. I’m not sold on Up’s bratty brokenhearted rich kid... yet. The show though, I like it. I like a one (two) night stand starting things off and I like a lot of morally gray characters. Fun fun!

Deep Night (Thurs iQiyi) ep 8fin - The lesbian moms are the cutest thing in the world and my favorite thing this week. Bar none.

Summation:

It's about a host club and all the gay boys in it and some stuff that's not important because... PEOPLE OF EARTH WE HAVE A HONEST REP OF POLY IN A BL. Stand up and raise your hands in prayer to the Thai BL gods because sure as shit no one else was ever going to give this to us. For that alone this show gets 8/10 from me. Bonus Lesbian moms and great kisses.

Two Worlds (Thurs iQIYI) ep 7 of 10 - Say what you want about MaxNat all these years that they've been paired makes them great onscreen boyfriends. And you know me, I'm a total sucker for linguistic negotiation. Makes my heart go all mushy. That said, now that the leads are together, I’m really uninterested in all the drama around the ex-boyfriend/triangle. I'm glad this is only 10 eps.

1000 Years Old (Thurs iQIYI) ep 11 of 12 - They gave me the tiniest teaser for the kinky vampire BL that I have wanted my whole life. And now I'm just fucking annoyed with the rest of the show. 

We Are (Weds iQIYI) ep 3-4 of 16 - Q & Toey are the only interesting thing going on. I actually didn’t like this pair in My School President, but I’m enjoying them here. The others are all fine but these two have my heart. I have questions like: did Phum ever get his shopping bags back? And why is Phum driving a different colored car half way through the ep?

Only Boo! (Sun YouTube) ep 3 of 12 - The quality is good (it’s GMMTV) but the acting is... not. Still I loved that Moo just made the confession for both of them. Very in character. Does this plot remind anyone else of Footloose? Just me? Side couple was cute but now a bit too stalker for me. 

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Unknown (Taiwan Tues YouTube & Viki) ep 10 of 12 - It’s fantastic. Such a great show. We are so lucky. This is basically Taiwan’s The Eights Sense. I didn’t know they had it in them, but I’m really glad that they did.

Living With Him AKA Kare no Iru Seikatsu (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 3 of 10 - As JBL’s go this is way more my speed (than Alaska). It’s just so sweet and awkward but charming about it. The confession was so earnest. 

Blue Boys (Korea YouTube) 2 of ? No MDL link - It’s very sexy this one. Not sure what Korea thinks it's doing, but I’m not mad about it. 

Gray Shelter (Korea Thurs iQIYI) ep 5fin - summation: About a slacker nursing a crush on the (brief) older stepbrother who abandoned him. Upon finding him again he moves in with him, upends the mans lost suffering life. A dark gritty piece with confusing subs making it too chewy to really grok. It's trying to do too much for its length. The tension is real and the acting is good, it's just everything else stymied clean execution of the core concept. Frankly I spent this show expecting (and wanting them) to just fall into bed together - in a kind of desperate fight sex. It didn’t happen, and I’m disappointed by the non-ending we got. (Whether it’s going to have more in the series or not.) 7/10 I'm open to changing the rank if a part two fixes this one's flaws.

Boys Be Brave AKA Roommates (Korea Thurs Viki) ep 1-2 of 8 - Oh dear. Terrible hair. Jock nerd pairing. OCD baby cakes. Cohabitation trope. Killer side couple. Def unhinged. 

At 25:00 in Alaska AKA 25 Ji Akasaka de (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 2 of 10 - I’m still genuinely not sure about this one. It’s just a little too awkward for me in the wrong way. I expect all Japanese BL to have a certain aura of awkwardness so I don’t know what it is about this one turnign me off. I do enjoy that we’re getting both stories, the one between the actors, and a little bit of the roles that they’re playing on screen but... yeah

Love is like a Cat (Korea Mon Viki) eps 7-8 of 12 - The leads finally had a moment but there is negative chemistry. Why am I watching this? 

It's airing but...

Lady Boy Friends (Thai WeTV grey) 16 eps - reminds me a bit too much of Diary of Tootsies only high school. Not my thing. DNF unless it turns a corner and is truly amazing.

Memory in the Letter (Thai WeTV) - 6 eps, when it's done, tell me if I should bother?

In case you missed it

Kiseki Chapter 2 (Sun iQIYI) 6 eps - finished its run but I won't be finishing it. Stays dropped.

GMMTV announced the second half of their 2024 line up. I got excited and picked my favorites, details + trailers here. Basically my ranking is:

The Heart Killers

ThamePo

Revamp

Sweet Tooth

Perfect 10 Liners

The Ex-Morning

Ossan’s Love Thailand

Next Week Looks Like This:

What happened?

Knock-Knock Boys (Thai WeTV) - 4 college friends conspire to help their friend lose his virginity. Familiar faces like Seng (yes, Billy's previous pairing) and Best, news here. But will it actually air this month?

Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.

If I had half the energy I do when the world isn't depressing and gray I'd make a 'Where's Waldo' except it's 'Where's Felps' and it's all QSMP themed and I'd challenge all my mutuals to find Felps but he isn't there.

#qsmp #qsmp felps #felps #I just wouldn't draw him in #if I see tulips in the next two weeks I'll do it #it's so fucking GRAY

[lowpolybread]

it's about becoming a pawn, it's about being manipulated, it's about manipulating everything you still can, it's about second guessing the intentions of those closest to you, it's about losing trust in everyone until you only have yourself, it's about not even being able to trust yourself because you've seen yourself and you're afraid, it's about betrayal, it's about killing everyone you can't control, it's about giving yourself up to your captor in exchange for your life, it's about the obsession to control everything for the sake of feeling safe, it's about doing everything in your power to land on top, it's about becoming the jabberjay

ALINA GRAY - Magia Record

PROPAGANDA:

Silly magical girl cult leader who tried to destroy a city for artistic purposes!

Ivy Lund for @arogaba's Swift BC

Eccentric / Green Thumb / Hopeless Romantic / Shy / Virtuoso

If Ivy lived long in the past, she would probably be a travelling bard. Her friends say that she is indeed an old soul that was born in a wrong century. She prefers to stick to her style and does not want to change to a more mainstream sound just to become more popular or appeal to the masses. And if she does break through, she wants it to be for her unique manner of ballads and forest nymph-inspired aesthetic, that she hopes will find its place in people's hearts. Participating in the bachelorette might be both a chance for Ivy to advertise her music to a wider audience, hoping for it to resonate with the viewers, and possibly get to know Nina better with potential for something more.

TOU: Don’t claim her as your own or reupload, don’t change her genetics and face features. You can change anything else in her look (hairstyle, makeup, clothes, your own defaults etc.).

Private download unless she's eliminated.

gruvia week 2023 day two: whisper

~epiphany~

During the drive to the bar, Gray felt something shift in the air.

Juvia talked about that great ice cream shop her peers were raving about. She wanted to try them, and Gray immediately offered his company to her.

And he looked at her a little longer than usual, and saw her sweet smile get bigger with his offer. At that moment, everything slowed down around them. But his mind was on fast-forward when he imagined their time together in the ice cream shop.

Truth be told, Gray and Juvia’s relationship was still in the limbo. Both liked each other, and they knew that they liked each other. But both knew that sooner or later they had to take the next big step.

Juvia was already one step forward (maybe she was ahead by a mile even), and was just waiting for Gray to join her. Gray, who walked slowly and carefully, like the path he chose was a hanging bridge, wasn’t there yet. And he really wanted to join her in that path of flowers she was already in.

So what’s stopping you, Gray?

The fear of hurting her?

The fear of not working out together?

The fear of never being good enough?

These were all the things that scared Gray off, the things that were holding him back.

And yet, Juvia proved every time that there wasn’t a need to be afraid of anything.

Because Juvia was a strong woman. A woman, who, when hurt, would voice out her feelings and try to understand why he was doing that.

Because Juvia was a hardworking woman. A hardworking woman, who would do her best to work out a relationship with stubborn Gray.

Because Juvia was a woman who sees Gray in his best, and would always bring out the best in him.

And he would always thank the heavens for bringing Juvia to be his best match in this world.

Gray parked the car in the parking lot of the small bar where they would meet their friends for the night. A little celebration was in place for Levy’s acceptance in college. Juvia greeted them all once she saw them and sat with her friends, with Gray following suit. The atmosphere was cozy and friendly. The band on the stage who was in the middle of performing  a song requested by one of the patrons added charm to the place.

“I’ll get us some drinks,” Gray said, getting up and going to the counter. “Any particular drink you like to have?”

Juvia looked up at him, eyes trying to focus in the dim light of the place. “Whatever you are having, Gray-sama.” She smiled sweetly.

There it was again, the slowing down of the scene and the fast forward of the date he promised. He nodded to her and went to get the drinks. He smiled to himself as he walked.

Gray was really smitten.

And he really needed to work on that so that he and Juvia can be on the same page now.

                                                        ~0~

He settled next to her again when he came back, 2 glasses of drinks in hand. Juvia thanked him, but with the loud music he needed to lean in and hear her. This never failed to make the woman blush and immediately focused on sipping her drink.

At this point, Gray couldn’t concentrate on the music and the conversations around him. And it's because of her cute mannerisms. He didn’t have much to say either, so he just tried to focus on Juvia, because it’s the only task that seemed natural to him now.

He scooted closer, their arms touching, and Juvia looked at him again and he just offered her smile. To this, she relaxed, and leaned on him as well.

This didn’t go unnoticed by their friends of course, and Gray knew that they were going to tease them later. But like he thought about earlier, all he could think about tonight is Juvia. And he was willing to go through the teasing if that meant that she would be by his side all throughout the night.

The band was playing a mellow song, a song familiar to Gray. It was an old song he heard before, played at one of the musical festivals he attended with his friends. Back then it wasn’t something that held meaning for him. But now that he was willing to put work with the something he had for Juvia, everything made sense.

Everything made sense like puzzle pieces creating a masterpiece as you assemble them.

This time I’m sure of what I’m looking for,

And that’s what I want you to know,

And I won’t ever let you go

Let you go…

Dear heavens, he was really in love with Juvia Lockser.

And he’s way too deep to deny it anymore.

As the music played, he looked at her, eyes focused on her beautiful face. Even in the dark she glowed so much brighter than the stars.

She put down her glass and started to bob her head to the song and tapped her fingers on the table, following the rhythm.

Gray’s gaze was solely on her amidst the busy and noisy bar. He scooted his chair even closer to her. Juvia noticed the movement. Once again, she looked up and smiled at him. He would never get tired of the smile.

And he wanted to see that smiling face next to him as he woke up every day for the rest of his life.

Slowly, he moved his arm and rested it on her. Juvia leaned in and rested her head on his shoulder.

Gray whispered the song to her ear and made Juvia’s heart thump rapidly.

I’m learning,

I’m learning you now

Stars fading

Free falling into you

This time I’m sure of what I’m looking for,

And that’s what I want you to know,

And I won’t ever let you go

Let you go…

They locked eyes as the song played. The next words Gray whispered while looking at her made her tears flow and her heart jump in joy.

And I’m ready for you now

Be ready for me now

Show me love…

Juvia leaned in and let their noses touch, and let out a giggle.

“Juvia’s always ready for you, Gray-sama. Juvia is always ready to give you all the love she could give.”

He looked at her lips that he so desperately wanted to kiss. “Sorry it took a while, but I hope you’re really ready to receive all my feelings for you.”

Gray caught the look she gave on his lips and dove right in for a kiss.

There were cheers around them, but he couldn’t care less.

Gray was thankful that his whispers led him to a beautiful night, with the most beautiful woman in his arms.

A beautiful woman who he could call his partner in life.

This Week in BL - new entries upset the rankings

Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.

April 2024 Wk 2

Ongoing Series - Thai

City of Stars (Fri iQIYI) ep 11 of 12 - Like most Thai BL pulps, this show doesn’t have much story to it. But I'm discovering that what it does have I actually really enjoy. I love that the gay boys got to play matchmaker for a change and I like how just GAY they are. It's nice. Refreshing.

We Are (Weds GMMTV iQIYI) ep 1-2 of 16 - University ensemble BL featuring PondPhuwin, WinnySatang, AouBoom, MarcPawinPoon. I like it. It’s old school Thai BL, but having fun with itself and its tropes. I’m not expecting much, so I don’t mind it waffling. All the couples are comfy. Chemistry is okay. Friendships are nifty. I like Pond's floppy hair. We fine. 

Two Worlds (Thurs IQIYI) ep 5 of 10 - What an extremely bloody episode. And bad guy turned out to be very bad indeed. And now pretty much everyone is dead. Nice kiss. Of course. 

Deep Night (Thurs iQiyi) ep 6 of 8 - It’s cute, they happy, not a ton happened. Random gratuitous bathing. As you do in BL. And I still think the sides should just end up in a thrupple

Only Boo! (Sun YouTube) ep 2 of 12 - Oh they very cute. Also very silly. 

1000 Years Old (Thurs iQIYI) ep 9 of 12 - No. NOT THE GUITAR. YES abandon guitar for the sniff test! Love this for them. And me. My most favorite trope defeated my least favorite trope. VICTORY!!!  

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Unknown (Taiwan Tues YouTube & Viki) ep 8 of 11 - It’s just so good. Baby went away, grew up, and learned how to become a temptation... and a husband. 

Gray Shelter AKA Gray Currents (Korea Thurs iQIYI) 1 of 5 eps - SooHyuk, only just surviving, reunites with YoonDae, his (brief) younger stepbrother who feels abandoned. They end up living together. The younger brother is played by Lee Jae Bin of Choco Milk Shake. OMG. STEPBROTHERS TROPE. Lucky me! Two in one season. Yay!!!! It's Korea so great visuals too. I shallow but yeah, this is great.

Living With Him AKA Kare no Iru Seikatsu (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 1 of 10 - Kindly Ryota goes off to uni only to find his new roommate is his childhood bestie, Kazuhito. Kazuhito doesn’t have a girlfriend and Ryota tries to help him figure out why. Same director as Old Fashion Cupcake. It’s utterly charming. I am charmed. Also the framing is gorgeous (of course). Very stylish.

Love is Better the Second Time Around AKA Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto (Japan Weds Gaga) ep 6fin - I don’t know. Kind of a flat ending with the leads apart for most of it. I enjoyed this show but it never really hit with me. 

Summation

After a teen betrayal and resulting separation a reporter reunites with his first love. That love wants him back. I enjoyed the authenticity of a reunion romance explored in Japan's quintessentially contemplative yet surreal way. The juxtaposition of the tenderness of the sex scenes with this Japanese style of authenticity was oddly elegant but all in all this still fell a little flat for me. There's nothing objectively wrong with it, but in total the narrative felt sluggish and the main couple were just... stiff (in the wrong way). Frankly, I'd rather just rewatch Tokyo in April is. 8/10

Love is like a Cat (Korea Mon Viki) eps 3-4 of 12 - What is going on with this show? No, I get the plot. I just don't get the show or why I’m watching it. Annoying. 

It's done, but I suck

What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps

To Be Continued (Sat C3 Thailand grey) ep 7-8fin - I can't for the life of me find the final 2 episodes. Haven't had a real hunt, but yeah. No dice so far.

It's airing but...

Takumi-kun Series 6: Nagai Nagai Monogatari (Japan Furritsubs) eps 1-? of 10 - I may wait and binge it.

Lady Boy Friends (Thai WeTV grey) 16 eps - reminds me a bit too much of Diary of Tootsies only high school. Not my thing. DNF unless it turns a corner and is truly amazing.

Kiseki Chapter 2 (Sun iQIYI) 6 eps - It’s so boring DNFed at 2.

Close Friend Season 3: Soju Bomb! (Weds iQIYI) 6 - The problem with situational comedy BL is it must be situational, comedic and a BL. This show gets 1 of 3 claims correct. 33% is not a passing grade. Dropped at 3.

Memory in the Letter (Thai WeTV) - only 4 eps, tell me if I should bother?

Next Week Looks Like This:

4/18 At 25:00 in Alaska AKA 25 Ji Akasaka de (Japan Thurs Gaga) 10 eps - Yuki lands his first starring role in a BL drama alongside superstar Asami (previously his senior at uni). Said superstar suggests they form a sham relationship until filming concludes. As they actually begin to fall in love, the spotlight begins to burn. I think I've seen this before (joke) and also the trailer doesn't inspire confidence.

Still to Come in April

4/25 Boys Be Brave! AKA Roommates (Korea Thurs Viki) 8 eps - Trailer Jung Ki Sub is Kim Jin Woo's slacker friend - and secret crush. So when Ki Sub crashes at his place, his heart tingles to be near him everyday. But as the short stay turns into permanent mooch, how long can Jin Woo keep his true feelings under wraps and hold back from confessing?

4/26 My Stand-In (Thai iQIYI) 12 eps - adaptation of Chinese novel "Professional Body Double" by Shui Qiang Cheng. Stars Up (Lovely Writer) and Poom (Bake Me Please) directed by the same team as KP (not a recommendation IMHO - my biggest criticism of that show was the clashing directing styles). This one looks complicated, lemme try: Joe is a stuntman for famous actor Tong. Joe falls in love with Ming but Ming sees Joe as nothing more than a Tong-replacement. After learning this horrible truth, Joe dies. Joe then wakes up in the body of another man also named Joe. He manages to rebuild the same life as before—with the same people eventually re-meeting Ming. Ming wants Joe back but Joe doesn't understand why. But Ming seems to know what's going on and wants to give him some kind of explanation.

I'm exhausted just trying to describe the plot.

Knock-Knock Boys (Thai WeTV) - 4 college friends conspire to help their friend lose his virginity. Familiar faces like Seng (yes, Billy's previous pairing) and Best, news here. But will it actually air this month?

Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.

NOTE: It looks like one of my personal favorites of last year Unintentional Love Story is getting a spin off!

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENT

Sniff test turning into a make out sesh? Please and thank you. City of Stars

(Last week)

Streaming services are listed by how I (usually) watch, which is with a USA based IP, and often offset by a day because time zones are a bother.

oh so now the birds are eating the <25 cherries i've got growing on my tiny tree

literally everything i've planted in this fucking garden has either died on its own or has been killed by birds/bugs

#my garden is a microcosm of my whole life right now #my life has been on a downward spiral since last july and bestie i am starting to reach my fucking limit #defaulting to thinking ''i wish i were dead'' at every little inconvenience is BAD!!!! i know!!!! but it's true!!! #the mint from trader joe's was infested with aphids and i've been cleaning it off every day for 2 weeks and it's STILL got them #like... this plant is 1 foot tall with two little stalks and less than 30 leaves. it hasn't grown in the 2 months i've had it #the money plant still reeks of mold and has to live outside because of its smell and the fungus gnats #the golden sage just fuckin.... burned to death????? it turned gray and DIED #the one and only bean plant that sprouted just ejected the only 2 true leaves it bothered growing #the originally robust blackberry cane is withering. the other two did get better but started from the ground up. there's 1 blackberry total #the rosemary hasn't gotten any bigger in the 3 months i've had it #the scotch brooms don't look so good. the salvia haven't gotten any bigger in 3 months and the creeping phlox bleached and died #the thyme is doing okay and the culinary sage is hanging in there but i don't have high hopes #not a single fucking wildflower sprouted in the yard. i used 2 bags of seed+mulch that was supposed to cover 600sq ft (the yard is 400) #the mourning doves ate a bunch of the seeds and the rest never sprouted #there's a few puny sunflower sprouts but the cottontail came and ate some of those leaves #the cottontail also ate an entire stalk of the potted mystery flowers #the huge plant i moved in November... the one that surprisingly survived frost/freeze... can't handle the heat and is now dead #i just... #the job market is awful. the salaries are worse. the neighborhood is in the middle of nowhere and inhabited by paranoid cops #everyone has big dogs who go apeshit when they hear ppl walking #and the fences are short and the dogs are big so i'm scared to go walking because EVERY. DAY. on the nextdoor app are people #announcing that they found a dog wandering the neighborhood. or ppl saying ''omgggg my dog got out of the yard! have u seen it?'' #spring was all wind/gusty and it battered the blackberries and sucked all the moisture out of the yard #so the 2 tons of compost that we rototilled into the dirt? it's just dust now. there's nothing living in that soil #and now summer is here and it's too hot and these plants don't have a chance #i hate everything

I hate finals week

#(I think that's what you call the exams week before you do after a certain amount of time to evaluate your knowledge on the school crap) #But I did go to the library today and our librarian let us take books so I have two books! My first ever actual books not related to school #One is the portrait of Dorian Gray #And the other is a combination of two grecolatino comedies! #Tho I still hate the finals week lol #<3 #rh.txt
