For #TWC46, @katiedidnt.bsky.social reviewed @tbaudinette.bsky.social's "Boys love media in Thailand"! Morrissey states that Baudinette "asks [us] to problematize [our] assumptions about queer media, embrace ambiguity, & resist older theoretical frameworks". Read the review here:

I don't understand what's happening here and I love it anyway?

Which confuses me a little because I was thinking Kip was Steve (art history book), but I guess not.

The author won’t confirm the original fandom but rumor mill says it started as stucky fic. So, Kip = Bucky.

Yes, the casting on Kip and the rushed start of the relationship are my main two issues. I’m also super confused about ages and how old Kip is supposed to be given that he lives at home and is applying to grad school.

I think so???? I like the idea of them, but I was not into the execution.

The third ep of Heated Rivalry is feeling so awk to me. I love the idea of a side story, but this casting is not working for me.

It’s pretty normal for the English subtitles in a That BL to get the pronouns completely wrong for multiple people in multiple ways during the course of one episode. It’s super frustrating but I also suspect the fault is on English for not having anywhere near enough pronouns to deal with Thai.

Thank you!!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Key!!! Concert!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to know! Just checking… I’m guessing you mean the follow up with these two characters, rather than the next book in the series?

Ooo! That’s way easier than last year. Thanks!

YUP.

Wait. Is it just the alphabet this year? And a song for each letter?

Does anyone have a link to this year’s music advent prompts/guide? I can see it’s happening, but I can’t find the prompts post! 😅

Noooooooooes!

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?" Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy." Santa responds "Very nice!" Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?" Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.

Eeep! I haven’t reread that in ages. This is a sign!!

Okay, wait… (I’m catching up on recentish album releases.)

You’re telling me Wonho has a new song called “Scissors” and it’s NOT a giant metaphor for lesbians?!

Wasted opportunity!

Yes!!! I love when this happens.

It’s the “Nekteck Neck Massager” (on AMZ). The photos show neck and back, but it also works well on leg muscles too. (FYI! It is high pressure/deep tissue, so you may not want that.) @araleith.bsky.social

a small dog is laying on a pillow and reading a newspaper . Alt: a small dog is laying on a pillow and reading a newspaper getting a neck massage.

lol. There’s not much to tell? Mostly that it’s $40, comes with a warming option, and I’m loving it. It’s not the same as a real massage, but worth considering if you have $40 to spare.

(Its essentially what’s in this gif but in a more neck friendly style.)
@arallara.bsky.social

I want to tell all of you about the neck/back massager I bought for $40 bucks last month and how you should buy one too, but I’m worried people will think this is some kind of awk euphemism and not understand that I’m just old and experiencing significant neck tension.

lol. It’s gooooooood.

lol. The 🍑 🍑 scenes have the increased technical accuracy of queer cinema and the increased emotional intensity of romance novels.

I keep trying to watch Daou & Offroad’s dramas & keep failing. I’m liking Wicked Game more than Century of Love, but why does everyone keep yelling at each other & shooting things? This is hospital management, not the mafia!

It’s way better than the Red White and Royal Blue adaptation. To be fair though, that one is very YA and this one has an abundance of 🍑.

Have started Heated Rivalry! lol. The BL fans are going to loooooooove this.

I’m on episode 22 of Are You the One (cdrama, 2024) and it is amazing so far. I’m obsessed with everyone! How are all these female characters so awesome?

Holidays are now an awk standoff where my dad never calls and I don’t want to call him, but I also don’t want him to be able to complain that I don’t call him?? And, then I worry that it’s somehow all my fault and I’m a bad person for not calling him (or wanting to) and then I still don’t call him.
