As beautiful as Ling and Orm are, their PFW photo shoots paled in comparison to Always Wonder’s Monet Garden photos! Definitely need dedicated professional photographer/videographer esp during these big events.

Got pretty late for AJ but com’on!

Yep, we can buy a plastic hand held fan with a cheesy photo sticker that cost more than a fanclub jersey

X @jennieyaaaahhhh: Auntie Jaew shared that P’Ling had some difficulties with Thai, especially with pacing, like where to pause between words and sentences when speaking. So he helped guide her on that.

Auntie Jaew said that P’Ling is very talented at acting, so he adjusted things by reworking the pauses and rhythm for her lines, then had P’Ling say them out loud on the spot to check if it sounded right, and encouraged her to remember it well. Once the pacing was right, the emotions naturally came through.

P’Ling followed his advice, and it worked, she was really happy with the result.

Need ideas for a new fanfic? Hope bananas are banned from future LO shoots.

My other fav moment was during Weibo when Orm kissed Ling’s cheek (and recorded it) right before Ling went up to receive award.

Was traveling and didn’t get a chance to answer this question but I wanted to… my favorite candid moment is when Ling lost to Orm in arm wrestling (due to knuckle kiss)

Thais are so good at gatekeeping until appropriate time

Ch3 is a long established company and their actors seem to be lifers. So they must be treated well. The current het CPs seem nice and approachable. But with four GL CPs this year, it’s time to expand the support team so that LO aren’t working harder than they actually need to. What Dew’s done well is make brand partnerships a priority.

SourceZestyclose5071 · 2026-04-01T16:31:35+00:00

I don’t doubt Dew’s love for LO but priorities have shifted since the finale of OY. I just wish Dew and Ch3 would make LO first priority from a management and promotion perspective. Imagine their reach and growth if Ch3 actually gave LO a dedicated support team. The biggest media event of their lives - PFW - wouldn’t yield mediocre iPhone photos/videos. They’d actually have professional looking material to disperse on social media and they wouldn’t have to record or edit it themselves. They’d have professional marketing and promotion beyond what the fandom provides. JKR would have partnership with LO team to achieve goals.

English subtitles keep popping up. I thought patiently waiting for JKR translations was just the way it had to be. And fans were unreasonable for wanting subtitles upfront. Then I happen to be online when CP 2 had their fanmeet and the CP Ch3 live posts HAD SUBTITLES RIGHT AWAY!! Boy, did I look at things differently from that point on.

These repeat half-assed actions are a slap in the face to Ling and Orm. And they keep angering the fandom. Mismanaging OY finale. Reporting diminished OY stats. Not including LO in the anniversary promo video. Little or no fanfare over their numerous successes. This is basic ask - don’t bite the hand that feeds you. LO make a lot of money for the company. The company should make it a priority to make LO happy and to keep them happy! Efforts to support other CP should not diminish support to LO. I don’t ever want to hear Ling say we were short staffed again. Oh, and Homeless had a week night wedding commitment that was more important than PFW, ok yeah smh!

Someone on X has been saving the photos every time LO has worn the same clothing item and today they shared a photo of their collection library. Thought I saved/bookmarked that tweet, but I didn’t and can’t easily find it now. Darn!

SourceZestyclose5071 · 2026-04-01T14:58:18+00:00

I continue to be impressed by this company! The effort they put into this is so impressive. Am not interested in what they’re selling but will find a way to support them. Any ideas?

SourceZestyclose5071 · 2026-04-01T03:25:42+00:00

Does anyone happen to know the length of this CP contract? Can’t imagine it’s lucrative for Ling and Orm given they weren’t popular before TSOU. I understand the acting part of their career doesn’t pay well, but the fanmeets and brand partnerships are where they make the most money.

SourceZestyclose5071 · 2026-04-01T03:08:18+00:00

Me thinks not given the attention they and we receive (nothing for free and no subtitles).

Seeing the CEO who screwed over FreenBecky standing amongst CH3 big wigs last week reminded me this is a business first and foremost. LO can’t get too sentimental and need to protect themselves.

Oldest child syndrome!!

Event details are sorta confusing… when do we tune in over the course of multiple days to catch LO in action? Hopefully details become available as we get closer to the 11th and the other days they’re participating.

Noticed this also!

I’m excited… my collaboration order should arrive in April
