9 Fandom Peeps to Get to Know Better

Tagged by @bbcphile and @thesilversun. Thanks!

3 Ships You Like: lol, only three? (You're kidding right? Right? *sigh* Fine...) I'll go with the three most current I guess. Feihua from Mysterious Lotus Casebook, Wangxian from MDZS/CQL, and Merthur from BBC Merlin.

First Ship Ever: Technically, an argument could be made for Jack/Rose from Titanic (I was, like, 8 at the time). But if you mean the ship that actually got me into fandom spaces, and reading and writing fic then Janto from Torchwood. (CoE broke my heart and is the main reason fix-its are always at the top of my list.)

Last Song You Heard: Phantom by Rina Sawayama

Favorite Childhood Book: I Rode a Horse of Milk White Jade by Diane L. Wilson. I unfortunately have a hazy memory of most of the book, but I remember the last scene very clearly. Also the Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce.

Currently Reading: Not currently reading many books, but I'm planning to start Guardian by Priest in the near future. I've seen the series so I'm interested to see the differences from book to screen. I just finished And Time is But a Paper Moon by sami for the fifth time, and am about to start Bad Bet by luckydragon.

Currently Watching: I'm between shows at the moment. I just finished Tale of the Nine Tailed, and enjoyed it. I'm mainly waiting for Man Suang to drop on the 28th, and will be watching as soon as feasibly possible. (They said it was an international movie to come out last August, and then only released it in Asia. I have been waiting, and trying to avoid spoilers while also surviving on crumbs of information.)

Currently Consuming: Coffee

Currently Craving: Inspiration to write. I have a fic that is nearly ready to post, and I would like to to be able to finish the last scene.

Tagging: @seventh-fantasy, @wildelydawn, @foxymrfox, @wuxia-vanlifer, @koaly-ty, @mwfangirl, @difeisheng, @thebeingofeverything, and @mileapo. (No pressure, and feel free to ignore if you've already done it! Also if you weren't tagged and want to do it, take this as your invitation.)

เรัน by cocktail (man suang)

does man suang have international release yet? no :| but i'm obsessed with this song

timestamp 2.05 makes me feral every single time, and the whole thing just makes me so so hyped for the film, whilst actually giving inspiration for the 3+ ms fics ive started (💀💀)

comedy by jeff satur (he she it)

i haven't seen he she it, but omg, other than wdys this was one of the first songs i listened to by jeff, and only found out it was from a show embarrassingly recently. i couldn't decide between this version or the one with more backing music, but i do enjoy a slightly raw-esque song, if that makes sense.

strangers by the rose (strangers from hell)

YES–

i think the last time i listened to this was last year?? so THANK YOU because i forgot how good a song it actually is. welp a strangers from hell rewatch seems in order.

the whole ost is so good, and i've just rediscovered them all (THANK YOU)

realise by joe layne (happiness)

whenever this comes up in the show i get embarrassingly tense. happiness is another series with a mwah stunning ost, and another one i need to rewatch (again–)

free fall (love 2) by slot machine

as hard as i could try to make this different, @braceletofteeth you were so right about this being the best one. i adore the original version but there's something so special about this one, maybe it's the serotonin idk idk-

okay so this was so much fun rediscovering certain osts so thank you so much for tagging me,, and so now lemme tag a few people::

@toshis-spouse (this is a sign for you to watch kinnporsche ofc ofc) ,, @achilleanskops ,, @subtextsays ,, @misspoetree

(ofc no pressure)

Types of Traditional Thai Dance in Man Suang

We see two styles of traditional Thai dance-drama (Lakhon Ram) in Man Suang: Lakhon Nok and Lakhon Nai.

Lakhon Nok

The film opens with Khem performing the role of Sang Thong in what looks like a local event for a lord.

And we also see him in the iconic golden outfit for his performance as Phra Lor.

Lakhon Nok is traditionally a folk style dance drama performed by commoners.

The theatre took place away from royal palaces and was often performed at temple fairs.

Originally, Lakhon Nok was an all male dance style but these days women perform it too.

The stories are fast paced and the movements are typically more relaxed and not as refined as those you would find in Lakhon Nai or Khon, the two dance styles most associated with royal performance.

Costumes can be very simple or more elaborate.

The stories are often based on Buddhist Jataka tales and folklore with fantastical creatures like ogres, mermaids and spirits in abundance.

Traditionally any kind of story could be told except The Ramakien, Inao and Unnarut, which were reserved for royal performances of Lakhon Nai or Khon.

Popular examples of Lakhon Nok include:

Sang Thong

Phra Lor/Law

Phra Aphai Mani

Lakhon Nai

Wichiendej asks to see Khem as Inao, the hero of the Lakhon Nai dance drama.

Lakhon Nai was originally performed exclusively for the royal court by an all female group.

We do overhear Mae Kru Phikul arguing about this in the background of one scene. Shortly after this time period men would be allowed to perform in Lakhon Nai as well but I imagine it was still quite a transgressive act in this tumultuous time frame.

Only the king and members of his court were allowed to watch but during this time period, Rama 3 turned against royal dance as an art form and ordered a stop to both Lakhon Nai and Khon performances. This is likely the reason that Mae Kru Phikul ends up at Man Suang.

Characteristics of Lakhon Nai include extremely refined dance movements, adhering to traditional Thai aesthetic principles.

This is why we see Khem going to such drastic measures in his training montage, because he would be required to dance to a much more technical higher standard than he would have had to do when performing Lakhon Nok plays.

Costumes are elaborate and exquisite as befits a royal court.

The plots of Lakhon Nai come from three stories:

The Ramakien (a Thai version of the Ramayana)

Inao (The prince of the Panji tales.)

Unnarut (stories of the son of Krishna.)

There are other types of Lakhon dance styles but these are the two that are showcased in Man Suang.

I was a little surprised we didn't see Khon, the famous masked dance drama style of Thailand but it was another dance form originally exclusive to royal courts so I can also understand why it didn't show up in the film.
