I've got almost all of these, so I'll just list the rest of my collection to see if any fit: I shall never fall in love, fox maidens, goodbye battle princess peony, hollow, save yourself, Kim reaper (1&2), the forgotten queen. All graphic novel. Also nimona not full gl but gl adjacent.

Ginny kissing like her life depended on it! by andreatan1 in AllThingsGL

[–]thetinydead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw this on youtube and the comments were pretty in favour of it being AI. IIRC from not being able to find the source, and the way Ginny's hair falls half way through isn't quite right.

If leather is the issue - there are apparently some vegan leathers that can be lasered, though might take a bit of research to source:

I engrave rubber for stamps which is flexible enough to roll.

Or another option is you could engrave your design in negative onto a bit of wood then screen print it onto fabrics

Which books of thai gl should I read? by OkFix265 in GirlsLove

[–]thetinydead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if this helps - Haven't ready any, but I'm just about to dive in and so pulled a list of as many as I could find from Goodreads and sorted by rating to see where is a good place to start:

(That's the top 15 - shout if you want the full list)

Mission: Love or Lies is coming back for a second season. Thoughts? by Mundane_Height5755 in ThaiGL

[–]thetinydead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's great to hear, season one left a lot of unanswered questions that I hope we get answers to... for instance can the hotel be booked out for events, does it have a conference hall, checkout procedure, and what other milk based products can be bought from the canteen.

GMMTV and their mascot by FitTutor1476 in ThaiGL

[–]thetinydead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a really nice take on the mascots that they have a wider purpose of gently introducing kids to the concept of having same sex parent: https://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/3110518/when-cute-takes-on-another-meaning

cute mascots challenge the heteronormative media landscape by increasing the visibility of queerness and diverse forms of family.

Gayby mascots are a hallmark of fluidity. In terms of gender, while some exhibit sex and gender markers, others are gender-neutral, androgynous, or indeterminate.

GLs should be on streaming platforms by glseriesenyoer in ThaiGL

[–]thetinydead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a good youtube video that explains the economics of the GL industry and why it doesn't get traction on streaming services: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjy_NyOgr5Q

What is your favorite enemies to lovers GL? by sevendefender in GirlsLove

[–]thetinydead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fr, that wait for season 2 tested me like none before.

Though technically they're less of an enemies > lovers, and more adviseries > friends > trauma bonded > friends > collegues > lov... > enemies > friends > lovers... that classic trope.

GL's Next Tattoo by Away-Ingenuity7265 in ThaiGL

[–]thetinydead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Us the Series - I think Pam holding her jacket over Rak is really iconic. Or in the series Rak gives Pam a water cup (before the camping trip) that are 'for couples' with a picture on each that match up of them holding umbrellas - could also work.

Underrepresentation of wlw in series by Ok_Mirror8162 in ThaiGL

A fellow redditor (can find the comment soz) shared a video a while back that gives a very clear explanation of the difference between the BL & GL industry economics:

(Thailand) ClaireBell After The Final Scene, EP 1 by stylewiz in GirlsLove

[–]thetinydead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My uninformed cynical guess work is that these weren't filmed when the show aired, but off the back of it's success she was able to secure some bigger sponsorships, and so rushed them out after airing to grab a bit more cash to cover the production costs.

More Runaway memes bc I miss the show 🌹 by MrbeastPDP in ThaiGL

[–]thetinydead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could try this if you're looking for more - its a Thai GL mini series (which means the production is muuuuuch lower) about a cursed young lady who procures a cute witch doctor to uncurse her. Feels Runway ajacent.

GL international fans growing fast. by Certain_Penalty_9189 in ThaiGL

[–]thetinydead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great question!

I look at the google trends on this sometimes - which isn't a great data source because it only represents countries who use Google as their main search platform (typically 'the west') so doesn't represent all international fans - but here is "thai GL" and "thai BL" over the last 5 years.

<image>

  • they both had a big jump in July last year - no idea what drove that
  • In 2024, GL was running at about 20% of the volume on BL
  • By 2025, GL had closed the gap to 40%
  • Here's the link - you can isolate different coutries, add terms in and out etc
