If Ateez are the pirates. TXT are the fairies. SKZ are the lost boys. And Enhypen are the vampires.
It’s just a giant neverland au.
Love In The Air is so fantastically unhinged. The lighting would put a renaissance artist to shame but the sound was recorded on a tin can. One of the main characters kind of works for the mafia but the central conflict is whether the other one has time to do his uni coursework. It's about illegal street racers who are also architects by day? And they chose to spend more time on the architecture part? Fuckin exquisite. I am obsessed.
Light on me. On Viki and it is the best love triangle drama. Boy wants to have friends and falls in with the school council and their problems. Adorable and you can’t hate any of the protagonists.
Devil judge. Dystopian universe where a judge takes down powerful people through the media. I ship the male leads because they have great chemistry but it’s not canon. Great drama and amazing acting, rather dark themes.
Colour rush. A soulmate bond between two boys and how it develops. A boy lives in a black and white world and meets the boy who brings his colour. Dark themes of suicide and murder but happy ending.
Strong girl bong soon. Girl has super strength and her journey as a hero and finding romance. Amazing male leads. Has funny parts but explores ideas of femininity. On Viki and Netflix.
Sweet home. A apartment complex fights monsters as they deal with the end of the world. Horror filled, gory and has amazing action. The characters are well written and the drama is brilliantly filmed. High key recommend. On Netflix.
Strangers from hell. Slow thriller with gay undertones. Subtle creeping horror with murder and amazing acting. The build up is good. On Netflix.
The uncanny counter. Puppy dog protagonist and found family vibes. Boy searches for the person who killed his parents whilst banishing evil spirits. Supernatural. Really well done, the mc is so adorable. On Netflix.
Mr heart. Adorable tale of what love is and what it can mean to a person. Gay drama, there is a movie version too. Could be filmed better, but they had a small budget. On Viki.
The tasty Florida. Another short gay drama. Adorable and fluffy about a restaurant and romance between a chef and a new boy to the city. On Viki.
My sweet dear. Enemies to lovers. Rivalry between two chefs for a restaurant position. Short bl drama. The actors are beautiful. On Viki.
True beauty. Girl tries to find her idea of beauty through makeup and environment. Explores how girls can view their self worth. On Viki.
Word gets around about how Obi-Wan greets people and Anakin is teaming up with the clones to make a protection squad. Obi-wan has no idea.
Sluttiest Obi-Wan Headcanon Based on This GIF:
This is a typical Stewjoni greeting because of course any planet Obi-Wan hails from isn’t going to just shake hands or anything that basic. No—no they kiss both cheeks just to say “Hello there”.
I mean—
Imagine—
Cody, offering his hand to shake: General, I’ve heard a lot about you. I look forward to serving under you, sir.
(Obi-Wan steps forward and kisses Cody on his cheeks.)
Obi-Wan, smiling: All good things I hope, Commander. I have a feeling that we’ll get along quite well—Commander? Cody? Are you quite alright?
(Cody stands utterly still not blinking or even breathing.)
Cody, slowly lowers helmet back over his head: *screeches into the void*
Within seconds there’s a procession made up of thousands of troopers going out of the hanger and blocking speeder traffic, all waiting to “greet” General Kenobi. Anakin watches, horrified, as he spots several troopers put on chapstick and taking quick spritzes of breath spray.
I'm not even exaggerating when I say these two have been going against industry standards since the very beggining, when they took the piss out of fanservice so hard that they became known for capsizing their own ship, and now they'll further deviate from the BL fixed pair norm and reverse roles as a way to tackle certain queer topics. Just last year @poetry-protest-pornography and I were talking about YinWar having both the willingness and the range to pull off something like this since they weren't held back by any company, and of course these men will deliver given that they have the luxury of doing whatever the hell they want as independent artists and producers of their own series. Dreams do come true!
[Eng trans.] Yin: I mean, people, let's say fans, will focus on "YinWar". By definition, "Yin" is the top in terms of roles, right? Y: So, I listened to the writers' ideas. They said that they intentionally reflected this issue, and that, in reality, it's not something fixed that way. Yin/Seoul: It switches. Y: Right. S: So it can be WarYin or YinWar. Y: Right. War: They wanted to convey that it's a matter of preference, and that it's much broader than that. It's broader than we think. The fact that two men should have fixed [sex] roles, only that way, or that people can only have one specific preference, it's not true. It's very flexible. It's something normal. Y: If people intend to be open-minded, we really have to be open-minded in the sense that they wanted to convey. After listening to it, it's brilliant. It's right. It feels like how it should be.
Wait so if a Lan being drunk means they switch personalities (ie LXC going from calm to energetic and LWJ going from stick up the ass to shameless) does that mean LJY would be the most perfect Lan to ever Lan in the history of lan and LQR would be just a walking disaster?
LWJ isn’t being “shameles though more on “being a spoiled child” hahahaha ok wait actually his 3rd time being drunk might prove otherwise ashbdfhksla and well LJY being a poised drunk is one of the LJY headcanons I love lol LQR would rather yeet himself than suffer any indignation
me as a writer
Just started a new kdrama after watching Devil Judge and Beyond Evil. I don’t know where the gay is but I can smell it coming. It’s going to get Bromantic around here.
Update: finished two new dramas. I saw bromance and now I ship them. They’re gay and you can’t tell me otherwise.
