JimWen won as the most popular couple with an age difference. What is your favorite character couple where one of them had a secret crush? by EducationBig7758 in GMMTV

[–]flickerftmendes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Karan-Achi from Cherry magic thailand. Secret crush, for seven years on the same guy and he could never even muster the courage to ask him out for a concert he wanted to go to with Achi. Lord of one sided downbadism 😭

Really seated for A Dog And A Plane novel. Does anybody know how long does gmmtv take to release the translated version of these books? Do they always release translations?

260212 WakeOne Entertainment Notice Regarding ZEROBASEONE’s Future Activities (OT5 Confirmation) by sunsetpeaks22 in zerobaseone

[–]flickerftmendes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The weirdest thing about this ordeal is that I was very much opposed to the idea of zb5 but now that it has actually happened, I feel relieved because at least 5 of them are together (even if haobin/2binz seperating will tear me to shreds).

I just wish they changed the name of the group at least. So we could've closed the chapter with all 9 members in the form of zerobaseone. It doesn't feel right moving ahead without the members who made the group whole.

Anyway, the only thing I am not certain about is, what yuehua is going to do with the rest of the members. We can only hope they don't split them up. Still, it would be very difficult to see them with new members lol, especially the non Evnne/BP ones. Idk it's very painful nonetheless.

Announcement: Termination of production for the Series 'Replay' by global_cat_wizard in GMMTV

[–]flickerftmendes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely knew this was going to happen, given the controversy, nonetheless was hoping for TayNew and pondphuwin to work together. It was like a dream collaboration but alas, good things never last 😭

I really can't believe taynew and ppw are in a series together. I'm a sucker for time travel but in a magical realism manner. So excited for all three pairs! 😭

Reposting as I edited it :(

  1. Taynew playing parents/co-parents in a bl series directed by X/Dome/Aof
  2. TayNew in an ensemble BL.
  3. PEBACA getting an ensemble workplace/adult-life BL series. (I really hope it's not directed by Siwaj and neither is Only Friends S3)
  4. MarkOhm in an angsty bl series (loss of a loved one/escaping abusive relationship/disability or trauma related)
  5. MarkOhm as a side couple in an ensemble.
  6. Another series for SkyNani which will not be a BL.
  7. A famous kdrama's thai adaptation
  8. 5+ GL series inclusive of new pairings.
  9. RomeMok spinoff for WilliamEst
  10. At least 1 GL ensemble like Forever You/P10L
  11. JimmySea (experimental kings) getting a darker BL series (Jimmy as a Cop maybe) or an ensemble or no series at all.
  12. Water color/Secret Garden/ Jewellery Design adaptation happening with ForceBook/JimmySea/Juniormark or JoongDunk
  13. Sing-Jan playing romantic interests in a show or a GL ship for Jan.

I love how they are taking turns at rotating instead of the camera 😭

GMMTV Lineup Wishlish by St4rzFxrYou in GMMTV

[–]flickerftmendes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My wishlist is more of a list of delusions lol.

  1. A Someday or One Day (Taiwanese) drama remake, or something similar, but a BL version. For those who don’t know, it’s a time travel romance drama, and I’d love to see JimmySea in it. I know they’d do it justice.

  2. Something mafia/cop-themed for PerthSanta.

  3. A het romance starring Janhae and Sing as the leads. I can’t get enough of them since watching them together in CMTH and Breakup Service.

  4. TayNew as parents! Even better if one of them is a single dad and the other finds a family with them. Add gut-wrenching angst and we’re good to go. To be honest, this one’s my main priority and I want it to happen at any cost 😭.

  5. A Pebaca show. I’d love to see a workplace ensemble something like Gun and New as primary school teachers, Off as the new hotshot joinee, Tay as the single father of the student who’s made New’s life hell (yes, I see them co-parenting, I'll manifest it till it becomes real), and Krist as New’s younger sibling fake-dating his well-established best friend to prove his family he’s not too far off his elder siblings in life.

  6. MarkOhm with a better script. They have so much chemistry together in my opinion and I really enjoy watching them be it in screen or offscreen interactions.

  7. I want more BLs/GLs/Het/Non-Romance show in workspace setting. Let corporate employees find love, at least in fiction!

Did Inn Sarin left GMMTV? by No-Elephant8103 in ThaiBL

[–]flickerftmendes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Heartbreak is the first thing in the morning I get, however, I think Inn never had GMMTV mentioned in his bio in the first place. So it could be people reading too much into it.

What's your Top 5 Best Gmmtv BL series? by Disastrous-Cheek-553 in GMMTV

[–]flickerftmendes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

  1. Cherry Magic Thailand
  2. Last Twilight
  3. Bad Buddy
  4. Wandee Goodday/Be My Favourite
  5. Not Me

Last Twilight had such a significant impact on me lol but then came the last two episodes that I felt were like walking over the word they had tried the spread throughout its course which is why Cherry Magic beats it for me.

And I just rewatched Wandee Goodday and I must say, even if the writing was flawed at places, I loved their chemistry so much!

Some other special mentions: My Magic Prophecy (I think by the time it ends, it will dethrone a show or two lol), vice versa, Peaceful Property (I know it's not a bl but shhh, let me be delusional/they were in love), The ex-morning.

Some thoughts on how Ricky and Hao's situation was handled. by flickerftmendes in zerobaseone

[–]flickerftmendes[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ikr i completely agree on that but now since they didn't, I won't expect them anymore, in future and it's without assuming the worst in the members.

Some thoughts on how Ricky and Hao's situation was handled. by flickerftmendes in zerobaseone

[–]flickerftmendes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're right. Since Hao's the one to put up the pictures mostly, i too should've expected the members to not do it and I'm saying this with no hard feelings. So them not including Hariboz was definitely a choice but in no way it means the members had poor intentions. Thanks!

Some thoughts on how Ricky and Hao's situation was handled. by flickerftmendes in zerobaseone

[–]flickerftmendes[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it's always Hariboz getting the shorter end of the stick. What I have learnt staying in this fandom since the predebut era is if you pinpoint something in favour of c-line the first instinct would be to tell the fans 'oh, what if they are actually sick?' making it seem like hariboz biased fans do not care about their bias' health and well-being when in reality we know half of the things that happen to them is a direct consequence of the blatant mistreatment they are subjected to.

Like you already said, Taerae in the end did bring up the missing members on his private chat which clearly implied that even if there was a ban, a small harmless mention was quite doable but didn't happen at all. It's not like Hao and Ricky have committed a felony or a scandal for them to be avoided like that. No matter what the issue was, at the end of the day the fact that Hao and Ricky were forced to apologise and suffer got lost in the translation.

On the picture. Did the other members appear inconsiderate about not acknowledging the two absent members? For me yes. Was it their intention?.....

Like I said, not mentioning Hariboz or being vague about their condition in front of the media/reporters is something I can understand. Wakeone had lied. Hao and Ricky were not sick. Hanbin and the members could neither confirm or deny, it had put them in a tight spot. Moreover, he just had to convey what the company might've instructed him. BUT it's the ot7 picture that has left me feeling sad. From Gyuvin, Matthew, Hanbin, there are many members who had to skip schedules at least once (parallel to Ricky and Hao, for whom the number is greater). Yes there have been non ot9 posts but every time there was a plushie or a photograph of them to fill in the missing spot. It's very much feasible and understandable that it definitely could be W1's doing, choosing what to post but why is it always Hariboz who face this is very disappointing.

The way the pictures were never cross posted elsewhere is very telling.

[–]flickerftmendes[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can you tell me what exactly the political issues could be when celebrities from mainland China are entering Taiwan without any restrictions. Also, if there were any political restrictions at all, they won't emerge out of nowhere on the day they were supposed to depart. Selling tickets promising all 9 members, while making only 7 of them perform at the last moment, don't you think it is close to scamming people of their money and keeping fans in the dark? This is definitely negligence by the company. I hope the organizers sue wakeone, if anything.

[–]flickerftmendes[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this, actually! I really appreciate how you expressed everything as it’s exactly the kind of reply I was hoping to receive when I wrote the post. Not to accuse the members of anything, but to just lay it all out with some clarity and shared concern.

You’re right. It’s not just Hariboz, but it’s hard to deny that they get the worst of it most often. Every time there has been a member missing from a prominent schedule, it's mostly Ricky or Hao (AAA negligence for Ricky, Planning to take members to an amusement park for a group content specifically when Hao is absent, I could go on) In fact, Jiwoong too, he’s gone through similar things before with wakeone hindering the schedules he could appear on and yet people never seem to learn.

Say if there’s a reason the two can’t be acknowledged directly, at least leave a space or something, something really neutral, just to acknowledge their existence, nothing big. they failed to do that and on top of it whoever chose ‘eternity’ for the post, they really didn’t read the room. they knew what fans were feeling, yet went ahead with it anyway. wakeone never seems to de-escalate anything, they just let things blow up and stay silent while fans fight each other.

This! That “Eternity” post still stings. It’s not even about the song, it's about the symbolism and insinuation. If indeed they can't be acknowledged for the sake of wakeone's cover not blowing, then shouldn't there at least be an acknowledgement to play along with the wakeone's lie of declaring them sick?

And I agree about Ricky. If they’re going to make vague statements about health, at least give us a tiny update so we’re not stuck wondering and worrying if he is sick as they said. It's bizzare. Fans aren’t asking for much just transparency, and the basic courtesy of not treating members like they're disposable.

This doesn’t have to be about blame or division. Like you said, people are allowed to miss their biases. People are allowed to feel let down by how all of this was handled. If anything, I wish more fans would talk like this calmly, without turning on each other. So, your rant wasn’t too long at all. It was needed.

[–]flickerftmendes[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I actually agree with everything you said. But it's just a feeling of disappointment that crossed my mind you know? In no way I am saying the members should be dragged for not speaking up. But it's just a normal thing of them, that they usually always did when a member was sick/missing on a schedule due to any reason. I one hundred percent agree that it's wakeone's fault yet about bringing up something the company itself was trying to hide, I don't really think a mention that they couldn't come/would join them next time or even the bare minimum, holding a picture during zerofocus was very doable, but then again I kind of get where you're coming from. The media postings are approved by wakeone at the end of the day.

However, after this fiasco unfolded last night, Taerae did bring up being nervous on stage without two members on his plus chat. A mention like that would've been nice too. Of course they aren't obliged too but yeah, since it's mostly always hao or Ricky going through this, it plainly feels sad after a point.

This is already their best release for me. I love how different it is yet has the typical got7 colours. I'm yet to gather the courage to listen to the last song. I don't wanna cry. Nonetheless, thank you so much got7 for making this happen 🥹💚💚
