just finished re-reading little mushroom for the second time, and FINALLY after 3 reads i’m on tumblr looking for it

on a related note: seeing the array of new readers’ responses from “i’m finally going to read it! :D” “haha silly mushroom guy” to “what does it mean to be human.” “experienced the full spectrum of human emotion” is amazing and hilarious lmao! like yess the world building and cute little mushroom catches you, then BOOM. existentialism.

Sometimes when I read comments and reviews about dramas, especially on MDL, twt or sometimes here too, it feels like some people try so hard to be some kind of fancy food critic just for plots. But at the same time have no idea how storytelling, audience ‘emotional manipulation’, character design and character development works at all.... or that there are more story arcs than just the classic hero’s journey or classic romance arc (some even think there is a strict step by step way on how romance plots have to play out all the time.... like 1. eye contact 2. getting closer 3. date 4. kiss 5. sex..... but that is not a fixed order like it has to be, that is only one option of many). 

It’s always lowkey funny to me when critics say stuff like “I don’t know but I don’t like character xy / this situation, ergo this is bad somehow.” Duh, the storytelling made you feel that way intentionally. You are supposed to feel uncomfortable there. This is archived with ‘invisible’ tricks like camera angles, frames, indicating transitions, soft or hard cuts, with background music and coloring etc.

Also it doesn’t feel like those people watch for fun and entertainment but shove as many dramas into their system so they can be able to write as many critics and mediocre reviews as possible....

Like alone the fact that a lot of people already judge a drama after the first episode.... The first episode is the pilot, the introduction of characters and the situations. Episode 2 is usually the driving force for a journey or change or a problem that needs fixing. Means, the interesting part of the plot basically just starts earliest in ep 2 or 3. But you need the pilot in order to know what’s up.

What I want to say with this, don’t buy into other critical comments that much and check if it fits for yourself. Something that gets ignored in those comments as well, is that people have different tastes. And some people mistake “not my taste” with “this story is badly written”.... How often I read of people who didn’t watch a drama because of the bad comments but then watched it some day and liked it.

My brain kind of exploded when I discovered that Twitter thread collecting clips from BL audio dramas in which Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Vash's voice actor) acted out gay sex scenes (because Trigun Stampede's fandom is the horniest fandom in the world), and I could only wonder, as I listened to those breathy moans, "What the hell is the context of Japanese culture that lets this sort of thing even exist?"

Through googling, I found an article on animenewsnetwork.com that addresses this exact question: an "Answerman with Justin Sevakis" column about the art and business of BL audio dramas.

The question: "So this is something that I've always wondered about, most Yaoi manga tend to get adapted into drama cds or BL cds as some would like to call them. The male voice actors in these things (like Kamiya Hiroshi and Daisuke Ono) tend to be quite popular in anime fandom and have voiced many popular anime characters. Any reason why they lend their voices to these things? Is it to boost their popularity or to make extra cash?"

The answer: "Presumably straight voice actors take on gay roles for the same reason other straight actors take on gay roles, and why gay actors take on straight roles: because it's their job to act like someone they are not, and to pretend to do things they are not doing.

On-screen actors regularly have to make out with people they're not attracted to. All a voice actor has to do is say a few steamy lines and breathe heavily into a microphone, well away from human contact. Their character may do a whole host of things that they, themselves, are not into. The character could be evil, and could torture and kill people. Their character could be really weak-willed and stupid and let themselves be taken advantage of. None of that might line up with who the voice actor is, or who they want to be. But that doesn't matter, because they're an actor.

Anybody who has seriously studied acting can tell you that an actor's job is to empathize with their character, not judge them. Their job is to find the things within themselves that can bring that character to life. This can require them to do things -- sometimes physically -- that they might not want to do themselves. It is not real, and it is not them doing it. For them, it is work. Sometimes, it's very rewarding work.

Drama CDs have been around nearly as long as CDs. (I can't find evidence of drama LPs, but perhaps those existed too.) Often a manga publisher will commission a drama CD to see if there's enough of a fanbase to make an anime. Sometimes they're just made to supplement a franchise. They do sell, sometimes quite well, which means money for everybody. Radio dramas still exist in Japan (and indeed, many countries), and so drama CDs are pretty common things. There was even a drama CD for Perfect Blue, which was actually the drama-within-a-drama series the characters were filming, Double Bind! It's pretty cool.

Yaoi manga usually don't sell in the crazy numbers that more mainstream manga does, but drama CDs are very cheap to make compared to an anime. Even if there's no moving artwork, many fans just want to hear the characters be brought to life in SOME way, and drama CDs are a good way of doing that without having to worry about making back a huge investment.

There are good business reasons to be involved in yaoi. Yaoi fans are extremely passionate, and will likely buy CDs involving the series they like, which a voice actor would get royalties from. Some of those fans may even become a fans of the voice actor, and would then buy their solo CDs, show up at events and get autographs, and follow their work in other works. That's the sort of thing that can really boost a voice actor's career.

Hentai voice acting is, in fact, not something that most successful voice actors want to be caught doing. It pays poorly, it can sully their reputation after the fact, if their image doesn't line up with having dirty material in their filmography. Hentai is mostly voiced by junior level voice actors who are just getting started, and many use pseudonyms. However, nobody is really asking them to take off their clothes, and work is work, so many voice actors do it anyway.

But yaoi is usually not all that dirty. It's clean enough to be aired on television (even if some of it needs to be censored). There really isn't much stigma attached to voicing a yaoi show. Many prominent male voice actors do it, and are quite proud of it. They attend promotional events, assist in marketing the show, and sign autographs on DVDs. And I'm sure they get paid quite handsomely for it."

I honestly don’t get all the mourning over the editing for the transitions in Bed Friend. That were just normal transitions we get in a lot of dramas? With city scenes that signal we jumped to another part of the city / changed location or had a time jump. That.... so many series do that, not even just in Thailand? German soaps do that all the time 🤷‍♂️

They always use the same city scenes to bind it to a location. Like the office or Kings loft etc always got the same city sceneries as transition. They are also supposed to give you a vibe of the location. The office being in a busy but expensive looking part of Bangkok. And Kings loft is in a skyscraper (also expensive af for some reason, but programmer and designer earn a lot so it makes sense I guess)

Same for the music fading out (symbolizes time jump). Or music suddenly cuts off as a hard cut into a new scene to make it obvious that the previous scene is over and won’t be continued, since we are in a completely different part of the story now.

Idk that’s just normal audio visual storytelling elements imo. Not every drama / movie does it that way since it’s just one of many ways but still enough do it that’s not feeling odd for me at all.

#bed friend the series #bed friend #audio visual storytelling #bl drama #I kinda feel like one person was complaining and then everyone picked it up for whatever reason #there were surely some things that could have been edited better #but there are also some way worse edited dramas (like Chains of Heart was painful in that regard) #I studied media technology and communication design #which has also film making and storytelling in some classes #I wrote two papers about this analyzing two dramas ways of storytelling

i’m listening to a random audiobook i found called 我是凶手 (I tell you what it SOUNDS cute, it sure does Not sound like its about ‘i’m a murderer’ so far lmao). and they keep playing this slow harmonica sounding music clip that is screaming to me ‘final fantasy vii soft warm emotional moment’ and it’s absolutely giving me whiplash lol. I’m like ‘oh yeah okay so gay possibly enemies? wait WHY is cloud crying in the countryside in my mind rn’ 

I think.... this is what the novel is? https://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=5301119  我是凶手作者：千若 but... i don’t think that’s right, what i’m listening to has 180 chapters as far as i can tell... not just the 5 I’m seeing on jjwxc... this is what i’m listening to, except i’m listening on bilibili. https://www.ximalaya.com/sound/615931684 what novel am i even listening to...? i just clicked whatever bilibili’s been recommending me since it regularly gives me danmei audiobook recommendations and this looked ‘crime’ genre and i do love that.

#rant #my bilibili algorithm is phenomenal tbh. its just nonstop danmei audiobooks and animated manhua with voice acting (usually also danmei) #and dmbj stuff and Justice in the Dark. and a little bit of japanese musicals #and japanese bl with chinese subs or japanese bl audio dramas with chinese subs #its literally exactly what i'd like. it does better than youtube tbh #i much prefer bilibili's recommendations for me.
