[ongsasuns]

hi nini! i hope you're having a great day so far. i'm your new secret santa! 🎅sadly your original santa had to withdraw, but never fear! one of their elves is stepping in to make sure you get a gift this holiday season. 🎁💖 i see that 'the eclipse' is one of your favorite dramas. big same! do you have a fave character? a favorite couple? tell me a little bit about why you love the series. i'm so excited to be your santa! take care!

hi lovely!! oh nooo, i hope they’re doing okay!! if you happen to speak to them do tell them im sending them a big hug!! <3 and also thankyou so so much for wanting to step in <3

okay so the eclipse omg uhm so, i cant even begin to tell you how excited i was for this show to air because i loooooooooove first and khao. and then i saw they were doing this together and i highkey lost it agshshd. and now they’re like one of my fav pair of besties i just love them so dearly <3

but yeah unfortunately life happened and i couldn’t watch when it aired but then i binged it in like a day because i wanted to make a moot a lil birthday gift ! and not to self promo but i’m tagging the set just to like explain how much i love akkayan because. i love them so much santa dear fr fr like idk how to tell you. but they’re like this to me. every kind of beautiful and soft and brilliant and i just. okay so i binged it in a day and it’s been a bit. but akkayan are so dear to me because idk how to explain but the set i made really kind of focuses on how ayan kind of ambushes akk and forces himself into akk’s life and all akk can really do is let it happen because ayan is a force yk? but also. ayan is so gentle. and so kind. and so himself through it all. and i just love how akk lets himself be loved if that makes sense? i really don’t know how to explain but you know that post that goes like. soulmates. but in the. i choose you. and i would choose you. over and over and over again. that is what they are to me and i love them forever and yeah.

but also i just really loved the show and it kind of broke my heart a bit but in the best way if that makes sense? and i love when shows do that, because i’m ngl, my brain is shit and i never remember much of the plot. so when a show makes me feel the things the eclipse did. i know it will stay with me no matter what. so yeah. abdjakfja i feel like this was really vague tbh and i am very sorry !!! but i just think akkayan are so so special and that firstkhao did a phenomenal job portraying them and their journey.

pls do tell me what you love about the show! it might help me remember things agshshdjd. thanks so much again for wanting to step in and i hope you have a wonderful rest of your week! (((hugs tightly))) <3

#nini’s notes #secret santa 🎅 #also i do remember really loving the friends! and that one teacher !! she was lovely !! and omg wait i just remembered #KHANTUA #see that’s how much of a joke i am i forgot the second couple for a sec. goodness #i actually really really loved them i’m such a joke 😭😭😭 #i think something happened near the end that i didn’t really like? or appreciate? since i don’t remember it must’ve not been that bad but #yeah ashshdhdhd. no i generally reaaaally liked them! their dynamic was so fun and endearing to me and while i might not have loved them as #much as akkayan. i def did love them #and also firstkhao are like ult faves so in this case it was never a fair competition to be completely honest ! #god i really need to rewatch this show because i don’t remember enough to give you proper answers i’m so sorry love 😭

rules: link your top and/or favorite posts/metas/gifs for each month of 2023

tagged by @chickenstrangers and i def would not have thought to do this otherwise but now i really love the idea skhdfdsjhf

January

I wrote a total of one (1) analysis post in January and it was right after my rewatch of The Eclipse and it was this post on the Suppalo pin symbolism. still drives me crazy tbh.

February

top: In Defense of Jim which was in response to an anon hating on jim and me tearing them to shreds + discussing how mlc is about flawed people and that's the whole point

favorite: this akkayan post that was inspired by my own tags on @freensrcha's gifset sdjkfsd it only got like 12 notes but i love my boy

honorable mentions: these aren't meta, but february was when i made the aita jim post and when this post about alan broke containment badly. also my the first girlies are struggling post bc that was one of my funniest moments

March

top: the pen metaphor about alan asking for his pen back from jim vs almost letting gaipa take it

favorite: these two sets of tags on this post from the beginning of the eclipse and me needing to break my tag essay about reflecting on it from having finished the show into two sets of tags skjdfsdhf

April

No meta in April!

May

top & favorite: "anything about me can wait" as a thesis for akk as a character

June

Yet another month where I only wrote one (1) analysis post, but it was a good one - this post on the p'aof giving wen agency by asking him directly if he wants him to relight the flame between him and alan

July

no bl analysis this month but i did make one yellowjackets post briefly talking about the burning of jackie in her yellowjackets jacket and now i feel like i need to make that a longer post skjdfdsk

August

only friends started this month, so we've got a lot to work with skjfhsdf

top: this post further breaking down the "you're gonna keep wanting me line" and how it's also about how quickly sand was learning ray

favorite: a tie between this post about how much sand cares and this post about sand and control

September

top: this post about ray and how he's clumsy with love in response to an anon - very much a contender for favorite as well

favorite: tie between sand as a glutton for punishment + sand and his mom

October

top: this sand analysis which was also a contender for favorite

favorite: decided on this post about top's pov in ep9 bc there were NOT enough posts analyzing the povs

November

top: me breaking down over akkayan's first kiss for the millionth time

favorite: this post paired with this post which is basically just me being pissed at a LACK of analysis coming from everyone that was mad about the ending of only friends and me breaking down a few of the dumb arguments i'd seen sdkjdsfh

December

No meta in December!

tagging: anyone that wants to cause i have no idea who's done this by now skjdfsdfh

Hi! I'm new to watching bl, I'm just starting now with eclipse, do you maybe have any rec? Like shows that you really like with good acting and a good plot? (I love misteries/sci-fi/thrillers but I'm open to more lighhearted genres too) I'm asking because recs I found online are too generic and I wanted to see the persective of someone who actually watches shows! 🌼

hi there anon! welcome to the hell that is blblr! hope u can enjoy ur time here and steer clear of dumb discourse most of the time, and the eclipse is honestly a great first show!!!! i personally loved the eclipse from when it was announced in 2021 bc i love khaotung since forever and i was sooo ready for his main character redemption era (u don't wanna know why he needs one tbh), and the plot seemed amazing—and it was! i really hope u can enjoy it as much as i did and go through the rollercoaster of emotions akkayan will take u on, i love them a whole lot<33

as for show recs, ive been out of the loop on everything bl this year bc im a uni student and i work two jobs, i don't really have the time and energy anymore so i might not be able to talk about more recent shows, but there's still a handful of good bls i can rec u!

one of my personal faves is theory of love because 1. i adore gun to the moon and back, he's a phenomenal actor and he did an amazing job in this series; 2. the story is great! friends to lovers with a lot of angst is just MWAH; 3. THE SOUNDTRACKKKK!!!! fake protagonist THE bl ost of all time!; 4. i loooove all the movie references in the show. all that said though, tol does have its fair share of issues (like poorly written female characters) but overall it still is a good show imo!

i dont think the bl sphere has many shows in the genres u mentioned but we have a couple of supernatural plots like he’s coming to me (dude meets this ghost and falls in love with him and the show is super cute and sad at times but if u think too much about it its creepy lmao), until we meet again (hhhh maybe not supernatural but the whole concept is soulmates and red threads of fate and it’s VERY angsty), the untamed (i personally never finished it helppp but its a very good show and it has a lot of ~magic~), the movie the blue hour which is IMMACULATE, its so good, its horror/thriller, it has gun and oab and its GAY ugh its really really good i love it so much AND ITS DIRECTED BY A TRANS WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

other shows that i really enjoy but that are romcoms more than anything (with angst bc i looooove angst): gaya sa pelikula (filipino, probably the best bl of 2020, absolutely incredible), old fashion cupcake (jpn bl about two dudes who work together and deal with growing old, its v v good! established adults!), cherry magic (jpn bl, SO cute and wholesome, dude turns 30 but because he’s still a virgin he gains the power of reading people’s mind. doesnt make much sense but its def worth ur time!), 2gether/still2gether (a classic, a staple, the show that popularized thai bls worldwide. looking back its an ok show, nothing much, but it is very cute if u wanna turn ur brain off), we best love (taiwanese, ONLY SEASON ONE, i love this show so so so much it gave me such a huge brainrot)

now more heavy/sad shows: i told sunset about you (THE artsy bl we all needed, bkpp KINGS, storytelling 11/10, amazing), history3 trapped (one of my personal faves, again established adults god bless, dramatic and dynamic, main couple’s chemistry thru the roof, fifi!!!!), a tale of thousand stars (very angsty but also very beautiful)

the next two aren’t bls but i have to talk about them because they are great and i love themmmm. 3 will be free, deals with class disparity, has strong female leads, trans characters, bi characters, gay characters, polyamory, beautiful cinematography, def should watch! and the gifted/the gifted graduation. not gay bc it barely has any romantic storylines but very interesting concept, v v thriller-y and good acting!!! s2 disappointed but s1 is mwah and my url is from the gifted bc im a clown and pang and wave ARE gay and ARE in love and ARE dating thank u!

ive also heard about ghost host ghost house but haven’t had the time to watch it yet, seems very cute and i think it has some supernatural elements? cant confirm but ill try to watch it next week during my break so maybe ill update u on it later!

#ok thats it! sorry i cant shut up anon #hope this helps tho! #and you should probably make a mydramalist acc it helps keep track of what u watched/want to watch #dawn.odt #anon
