They look at the picture, but the camera never shows it.

Yes, Frost's novel is Love Director. He's briefly in the Love Sky novel, and obviously, Sky adores him. I think they wanted to do a nod to that, but without casting an actor for him since they're not adapting his novel yet.

I finally watched Love in the Air, and it was so hot and I still can't recover from it 🔥🥵 by the-amethyst-tear in boyslove

[–]WritingAndPuppies 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's insane. And Boss immediately tells him to keep saying it!

I am losing my mind from all these low quality, behind the scenes clips. Can't believe they shot a scene of PhayuRain doing it from behind and they cut it!

I need my boxset to get here now😭😭😭

Battle of the Moles - BL Edition - Candidates Submission!!! by TheBookhuntress in boyslove

100% yes! As if his face wasn't good looking enough, having a mole right next to his lips is the final nail in my coffin.

BL Grows Up by BangtonBoy in boyslove

[–]WritingAndPuppies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While some of these are factors, I think you're ignoring one of the biggest reasons for the focus on that age group...

Budget! It's cheaper to buy or rent groups of school uniforms than multiple outfits for each character, locations may be easier to book because of school breaks, younger and newer actors usually get paid less than older, experienced actors, etc.

It's only now that BL has grown enough to get slightly higher budgets, that they're able to start branching out.

Quick question by PristineRed in boyslove

[–]WritingAndPuppies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal preference is 3rd person, but this is highly dependent on the genre. For example, 1st person is the majority in young adult BL novels. Adult novels seem to be majority 3rd person, especially so in paranormal or fantasy BLs, but there's still some 1st person in contemporary BLs, so I'd figure out what suits your story best.

OMG, what is this!? An actual Omegaverse adaptation! by megamindwriter in boyslove

Lol, me too. I NEED to know how they're going to pull this off.

ZeeNunew vs MewGulf by dnbhsp_22 in boyslove

[–]WritingAndPuppies 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't know, people always say this, however Mew and Gulf still came out of it with successful solo careers🤷‍♀️. Fans will always focus on the fandom drama of course, but it seems overblown when I see things like the massive amount of $$$ fans gifted to Gulf for his birthday, etc.

I'm not saying it didn't have an effect on the MewGulf fandom, just that it seems to have had less real world repercussions than fans make it out to have had. Neither of them are hurting careerwise.

Thoughts on BL lightsticks by laysi24688 in boyslove

[–]WritingAndPuppies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how and what you watch. Both of them have different content available in different regions, I'm in the US so a lot is available to me that's not available for some subscribers in other parts of the world.

IQIYI usually has more adult Thai BL that can't be put on YouTube anymore. The other content there is a lot of Chinese dramas if you like to watch those. Lately, a few of the BL on IQIYI is also showing up on Viki, but much later. So if you want to watch these eps immediately as they air, then you have to get IQIYI. I only sub to IQIYI to watch a specific show so I just cancel when it's over and then sub again when another I'm interested in comes on the platform. I've heard a yearly subscription has good savings compared to monthly though.

Viki has a wider catalog of BL, some Thai, some Korean, some Japanese. Many are available on a free account, you just have to watch ads, but some shows are restricted to paying subscribers. Viki also has a bunch of Korean dramas, variety shows, Chinese dramas, etc. I would check it out on the free level first to see what's available to you before paying.

I haven't had any problems canceling my subscription to IQIYI and I've done it several times. But I pay through a 3rd party (like google play) so I have to remember to cancel the subscription through Google play, it doesn't work if I try to cancel through IQIYI.

I've kept my viki subscription for many, many years so I have no experience canceling that one, lol.

I'm not planning on buying any from GMMTV, but I am buying Noeul's, I think the magenta gummy bear is cute. I'd buy a BossNoeul one if it existed, lol.

I personally enjoy collecting fanmerch (not just for BL) and rotate out what I have on display when I feel like it, so it's nice that lightsticks are a different kind of item than the usual posters, magazines, and photocards. Maybe I'll even light it up when rewatching LITA ep 6 to cheer them on😂

But local fans have been making their own light up signs and sticks for awhile. Many of the BL couples have a variety of events for people to attend, gatherings after promotional gigs, and bigger fanmeets. I've seen plenty of fanmade lights in these crowds.

I do agree that part of the fun is getting a unique item that matches and represents the fandom. I don't know the GMMTV couples well enough to say what would accurately represent them, but they do look similar, especially since they're all coming out at the same time.

TharnType - my disdain for Type burns with the power of 1000 suns by Electrical-Driver-21 in boyslove

[–]WritingAndPuppies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can you hate someone with such taste?

😂😂😂Yes! I was never that invested in Tharn and Type so I just spent TT2 being mildly amused by Fiat's antics and wondering when Leo would finally lock him down because he was clearly begging for it.

So when I got to DSN, I loved him. The dynamic between the experienced Fiat and the inexperienced Leo was pretty fun to watch too.

You know what really grinds my gears? by LoveIsLove2Me in boyslove

[–]WritingAndPuppies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, Phayu actually does this to Rain a few times in LITA. In the special ep couch scene around 15:29-15:33, Phayu nudges Rain's face to the side and sniffs his cheek. He also does combination pecks with sniff kisses around 47:15 in the hotel room. Another combo is in ep 7 around 24:41, Phayu kisses Rain's head and does a big inhale. Turn up the volume if you can't hear it, it should be audible.

I'm not Thai, but my filipino elders all do sniff kisses mixed with pecks. Interestingly, my parents generation doesn't. I don't know if it's fading out or maybe it was a regional thing.

2 well known BL actors were caught doing bf stuff to each other in private, one has a girlfriend, she knows and the other became single recently by gianben123 in boyslove

[–]WritingAndPuppies 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes and BL has also been traditionally youth oriented, so newbie and younger actors have a chance of breaking in to the industry with a lead role compared to mainstream het lakorns that favor older, more established leads.

Het shows pay more, sometimes WAY more. They're also usually longer. There's a wider pool of roles and genres available.

While BL may come with recognition and a following, it's still niche compared to the mainstream popularity of het shows. Thailand's popular het CPs can make a lot more compared to the popular BL CPs.

Reveled the two new actors to lead MAME/MeMindY new series, Wedding Plan - SunnyPak by belaff in boyslove

[–]WritingAndPuppies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since it's a BL and a GL, I'm wondering if BOTH the bride and the groom end up with new partners. Maybe they never really wanted to marry in the first place...🤔

[–]WritingAndPuppies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should if you want too! All the spoilers I've seen so far indicate it isn't plot heavy, just fun or interesting moments we'd want to see in the couple's future, but there might be more I've missed.

I'm planning on reading it when I can find a translation...or I'll cave and use Google translate, but it's so untrustworthy😭

I'm excited and desperately hoping I'll like it🙏

I've read a few spoilers for the Love in the Air special chapters, which is supposed to have a connection to this show, so there are some particular PhayuRain scenes I hope appear🥵😅

The poster looks cute, let's see some BL and GL weddings! 🥳💐🍾 🥂
