This and that

RL is ehh. The situation at work is a bit better, but health wise – grrr... Perimenopause sucks. And my left arm still isn’t in a perfect condition. At least painkillers aren’t needed for now, so that’s good.

But my fannish life is great. Fanfic writing goes well. I wrote almost 4000 words of Big Dragon mafia AU. Yeah, I don’t know why either. 😉 But I have fun writing it. It’s not finished yet, it needs at least another 4000 words for that, I think, so wish me luck.

And I have two dramas that are my comfort shows right now: sageuk The Secret Romantic Guesthouse and Thai BL A Boss And A Babe. I love both so much and suffer when I have to wait a week for the new episode. 😊

And since I like making kissing gifs here have two spoilery gifs from the 6th episode of A Boss And A Babe.

Speaking of Thai BLs the one I’m waiting for the most right now is Our Skyy 2. This is GMMTV’s anthology series that continues the stories of characters from eight other BL dramas: Tian and Phupha (A Tale of Thousand Stars), Pran and Pat (Bad Buddy), Khabkluen and Daonuea (Star and Sky: Star in My Mind), Nuengdiao and Palm (Never Let me Go), Cher and Gun (A Boss and a Babe), Talay and Puen (Vice Versa), Akk and Ayan (The Eclipse), and Tinn and Gun (My School President).

Each drama will have two episodes. And as far as I can tell these are not normal, realistic continuations. I watched only one episode from the first Our Skyy drama – the one about Pick and Rome from Puppy Honey. And that was a bodyswap story. The first two episodes of Our Skyy 2 are about Palm and Nueng from Never Let Me Go and judging by this short trailer there is time travel and a historical romance with role reversal here.

And here are two general trailers for the whole drama.

The first one from four months ago, which is just presenting all the couples, but in a really cool way.

The newest one, with a few snippets of the stories and with a little bit of bts stuff.

It starts airing the next week on April 19th.

I totally understand what you mean about them being questioned - that's my single biggest issue with TT, as you read, because they're not questioned.

MG, who's been with the firm (*g*) for a long time, says he can never call where my line falls because to him it seems very inconsistent. I've refused point blank to continue to watch shows like Game of Thrones but watched Happy which should NOT be watched by anyone ever, take my word for it. I would say, overall, I can tolerate violence much easier than sexual assault.

My offline friend who loves Thai dramas says if I can make it past the first episode of Big Dragon, I'll be okay with the rest of it. So...without spoilers/specific examples, if you please, I'd like to get a second opinion on that. Do the consent issues continue past the first episode, yay or nay? IF they do, is it a fade-away type of thing?

In case you're wondering, I'm asking because I share so few fandom loves with mates and it would be nice to have more.

This is really useful information, thank you! ♥

As to 'quality' of the show, remember I fly my fandom of one flag for The Silent Criminal so I don't have a 'quality leg' to stand on. ;D

It's always lovely of course when you can make an objective argument for the quality of something you're in the fandom for, like Life on Mars (UK) for me, but there are a lot of shows that I admire the hell out of and recommend to everyone based on their high quality without having the faintest stirring of fandom in me. Let's say it together: The heart wants what it wants!
