[phupha x tian]
i'll keep you safe by badapricot (1/1 | 5,681 | M)
"I know the ghosts won't come when you're here."
"You're not afraid of ghosts," Phupha said, but Tian still felt him puff up against his back, adjusting and then tightening his hold on him. Tian bit back a smile. Men were so easy.
"You're right, I lied. I like this because you're warm."
"That's all?" Phupha sounded amused.
"No," Tian slurred into his pillow.
I like this because you make me feel safe.
or:
Phupha sleeps over at Tian's after the celebration. They spend Sunday in the city, and some truths come to light.
A post-canon continuation of what happens after 1x3.

The "Good" Donation
Tumblr media
For @starsandseajustforyouandme, based on her oc, Sophos.
Happy early birthday??? I couldn't stop thinking about your anecdote about Sophos' childhood, and I just had to do something about it, so I did a little sketch of my interpretation of what you told me though I messed up the proportions/positioning a bit.
And, I wanted to commend you yet again for this ridiculously cute and tragic idea! Seriously, I still really am more invested in him and his stuffed-swan than I ever was in Hort's long-lost, frog pajamas.

Brain: I have a fanfic idea!
Me: Right, because I don't have enough unfinished WIPs already.
Brain: What if Chief Phupha unexpectedly died?
Me: Oh, you're in THAT mood, are you?
Brain: And Tian is in pieces because he was supposed to go first, damn it!
Me: The worst part is that I know how much you're enjoying this.
Brain: But unbeknownst to Tian, Phupha's ghost is still hanging around, like in He's Coming to Me.
Me: Would they be able to talk to each other?
Brain: No.
Me: So angstier?
Brain: Much, MUCH angstier! Except at the end, years later, when they are reunited and move on to the next life together.
Me: You think slapping a reincarnation on this will somehow make it okay!?
Brain: *purring*
Me: Why can't you think of coffee shops like other people's brains?
Brain: Coffee shops are boring. So what do you say? Will you write it?
Me: No promises.
Brain: Will you THINK about it?
Me: I don't really have a choice anymore, do I?
Brain: Nope!

Am I or am I not writing a Yok x Longtae funfiction? maybe I am🤭 does this could potentially upset 2 fandoms? probably! do I care? at this point not really! This is my introduction to fanfiction and fanwriting and it has been fun! tho I still am guilty of being verbose and writing too long things(the prologue is already over 1k😬 some whole fics are shorter than that!)
anyway by!

I know there is another song that is literally the ATOTE anthem, but "Afraid" by The Neighbourhood fits so well. For more than one character. Even the music is just so in line with the vibe of the fic.
I just realized it while listening to my "On Repeat" Spotify list.
"All my friends always lie to me. I know they're thinking, you're too mean, I don't like you. Fuck you anyway!"
"You make me want to scream at the top of my lungs. It hurts, but I won't fight you. You suck anyway."
"When I wake up, I'm afraid somebody else might take my place."

I really like writing, reading, reccing, and talking :)

tagged by @aleng-neng. What are my fave top 9 shows in no particular order. (All of these I have at 10/10.) I'll only pick recent shows, as they're the ones I have listed on MyDramaList and thus have a ranking for. XD This means it's mostly bls and cdramas. 1. Moonlight Chicken.
Tumblr media
One of my feelgood shows, even though it's still new. It feels comfortable and adult and grounded, with a bunch of amazing actors who are clearly comfortable with each other. As an 'older queer' it resonates with me a lot and I didn't dislike a single thing about it.
2. The Blood of Youth.
Tumblr media
A really fun show with gorgeous, engaging characters and the right mix of beautiful scenery, beautiful people, and creative storytelling that I like. Sprinkle in some excellent fight scenes and a bunch of my favourite actors and I'm sold!
3. Old Fashion Cupcake.
Tumblr media
I talked about mature stories earlier and this is another one of those. I could see myself in the main lead just a bit too much for me not to love this. Nozue recognizes that he's maybe stuck in a rut and complacent when he doesn't have to be. And, maybe, that handsome junior at the firm could help him get out of it (and make him recognize he's not straight).
4. KinnPorsche.
Tumblr media
Look, I know it has its issues. I know. And I know people have an issue with some of the fandom. I get it and for the most part I agree. However, this was the first BL in a long time that I had the urge to write fic for. I enjoyed the complexity of the universe and the characters that much. (Even if some of it didn't make sense. but that's half the fun!) And that's why I like it. It got my brain involved. (And I just adore Tankhun, okay.)
5. Word of Honor.
Tumblr media
Years ago I watched a few cdramas and then...somehow forgot about them? (I don't know how I did that.) However, back in 2019 I got back into them and eventually stumbled upon The Untamed. 'This is the pinnacle of cdrama for me and my tastes!' I thought. But then Word of Honor showed up. Look, everything about this show is stunning. The story, the characters, the setting, the clear and unadulterated love between the two main characters. Everything and everyone is beautiful and I've never gone through a cdrama as fast as I did this one. It's beautiful in ever sense of the word. And so, so queer. Don't believe me? Just search 'word of honor cdrama' in the gif section on tumblr and marvel at the art.
6. A Tale of Thousand Stars.
Tumblr media
This is not the first Thai BL I watched, but it almost feels like it? Because ATOTS is the first one I remember going crazy about (and it set me on the road to basically loving everything EarthMix are in together). I was super invested and wanted to draw art and everything. It's just such a nice, soft, romantic story and the characters are so fun. This is probably the one I've rewatched the most.
7. Semantic Error.
Tumblr media
As you can tell, I generally like stories that feel far away from home. I like magic and fantasy and settings that aren't typical. However, this is one of the few exceptions. I think it's the characters and their journey and the perfect execution of tropes that would have felt stale in any other show. It's a fun story with excellent characters and I get why it's so popular.
8. Mysterious Lotus Casebook.
Tumblr media
Technically, I can't say this show is 10/10 yet because it still has a bunch of episodes to go. However, I can tell it's going to get close at least. (And will probably get to 10.) I keep comparing it to a perfect blend of The Blood of Youth and A League of Nobleman, in that it's a fantasy world with a master swordsman who's dying (and begrudgingly adopts a cute puppy who loves him) and a bunch of cases that need solving (to unravel the overarching plot). It's so much fun and the settings + characters are so beautiful. (And I may or may not heavily ship the loyal, eager puppy with the stoic, lying dying man who tries to push him away (and literally abandon him) in an attempt to keep him safe (from harm and heartache).) The hurt/comfort and love against all odds is strong in this one! He gave up his lifelong dream to protect a man who's been lying to him ever since they met and whom is at that point a wanted fugitive!! Because he trusts and loves him so. Also, it has a bunch of very handsome and gorgeous actors/characters in it, whom I love (and who suffer beautifully).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
9. ??? I only have 8 shows that I've given 10/10 to (or a prospective 10/10, lol), so I'll just leave you with some other recommended shows that came close! Bad Buddy
Tumblr media
Between Us
Tumblr media
Choco Milk Shake
Tumblr media
Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms
Tumblr media
My Only 12%
Tumblr media
Ancient Love Poetry

That's it! I invested way too much effort into this, but...it was fun? Sorry for clogging up your timelines with this, though!

‘Sup, TAU mods! I was reading the fics and the blogs and stuff and was wondering why people were calling Stanford “Stanley” a while back. Thanks.
This is a fun little hole that we dug ourselves into way back when! TAU started in October of 2014, which was months before A Tale of Two Stans aired. However, a lot of prominent TAU writers and headcanoners subscribed to the "twin stans theory", so TAU from the beginning operated under the assumption that Grunkle Stan had a twin.
The only problem was that basically nobody guessed that Stanley was assuming Stanford's identity -- they just assumed Grunkle Stan really was this guy named Stanford and that the other twin was named Stanley. When AToTS came out and revealed the name swap, people took that into consideration going forward, but no one really went back and edited old fics or hc's to reflect the correct names.
This is most obvious when it comes to the "Stanley Pines Memorial Library", which was originally called that in honour of Grunkle Stan's twin, who we assumed was dead. It's still called that, post-AToTS, but now the reasoning for why it's called that is that Stanley is a pretty silly guy and would absolutely make his own business a memorial to himself while he is still alive.
This is also why Ford's place in TAU has always been a bit flimsy. We had no idea who he was before AToTS came out, or if he even existed, so it was often written that he'd died. Post-AToTS, he's found his way into more stories, and sometimes he becomes a part of the family with Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Henry, and the triplets! Other times, he has difficulty adjusting to all of the changes in the world, or is too committed to his research, so he opts to travel the world instead of settling down in Gravity Falls.

tagged by @khaotunq and @i-got-the-feels to do my 2023 BL Wrapped! thank you both 💜🩷
BL WRAPPED 2023
you watched 45 bls this year. that's about 300 hours! (this includes series started in 2022 and ones that won't finish until 2024 and the total hours is a very rough estimate but still. i really am the rat that pushes the pleasure button until it dies huh)
you primarily watched bls from: thailand
you spent way too much time thinking about these characters: Ray Pakorn (Only Friends), Yai and Jom (IFYLitA), and Tian (ATOTS).
your favorite show was: i am going to cheat on this answer idgaf. my top three that started and finished this year were Only Friends, IFYLitA, and Bed Friend. favorite currently airing is The Sign. and my favorite from the back-catalogue that i watched this year was Manner of Death
your overall bl mood was: not sure exactly what this means but i think love that helps characters heal and devotion against all odds (and perhaps better judgment) were prevalent themes for me this year
you read the most fanfiction about: i actually don't read nearly as much bl fic as i do for other fandoms because i typically don't walk away feeling unsatisfied. that being said. probably akkayan or sandray
another of your favorites from this year was: fuck it you get three more shows. La Pluie, Laws of Attraction, Bokura no Shokutaku.
the soundtracks you listened to the most were: i'm still not really an ost person but i did listen to the My School President soundtrack a bit (even though i'm considering that a 2022 show for the purpose of determining faves)
your favorite acting pair was: firstkhao (honorable mentions to earthmix, netjames, and gemfourth)
my inability to pick a favorite show appears to be affecting my ability to pick mutuals to tag ily guys i'm simply too tired to choose 💖 as always though if you want to do this (and you should! i wanna see your faves!!) please consider this a tag! 😘

The Return
Hey look, it's a new Gravity Falls fic! I wrote this a few days ago and edited it yesterday and today (I want to write other things but...we will see cause my throat is being stupid right now...I don't want to get sick...)
After 30 years, Ford is finally back in his own dimension. But things aren't quite what he expected. Filling in some gaps in ATOTS, mostly the end of the episode, before and after Stan and Ford talk. (Just me getting into Ford's head in that whole scenario)
You can read it on AO3 or below:
              Ford watched as Stan ushered Mabel and Dipper off to bed. His mind was buzzing with all that had happened, and his emotions were a whirling mess as he tried to wrap his head around the events of the day. A day that had started off in another dimension. Fighting Bill. Trying to right the wrong that he’d committed all of those years ago. And Stan had ruined it. Again. It seemed his brother had a pension for that.
“So…” Stan’s voice interrupted his thoughts, resulting in Ford looking at his brother. Something that, after all this time, seemed so foreign to his mind. Even more so considering his brother looked far different than the last time he’d seen him.
The smallest hint of sadness grew in his chest at once again seeing his brother looking so old. At realizing just how much time really had passed. He was so different then Ford remembered, but…at the same time, he was still Stan. With the same mischievous glint in his eyes, the same short fuse, the same stubbornness. And then same recklessness - doing things without thinking. Anger sparked in Ford’s chest at that thought. Stan had been so careless, and put the whole world in danger. However, despite his annoyance at Stan, Ford couldn’t push away the guilt over his first reaction at seeing his brother. Especially when he saw the bruise that was slowly forming on Stan’s cheek.
Ford didn’t want a repeat of the fight in the basement. And he knew if he tried starting a conversation with Stan, he was liable to do just that. So he opted for the only solution he could think of. 
“I’m pretty tired myself.”
The disappointment on Stan’s face pricked at Ford’s heart, even as he tried to ignore it. After all, at the moment, it was the best course of action.
A second later, Stan’s expression hardened.
“Seriously? I haven’t seen you in thirty years! And you just want to push me away again?!?” Tossing his hands in the air, Stan turned on his heels to head back into the house.
It would be best just to let him walk away but… “Stan, wait.”
His brother stopped and looked at him skeptically.
Trying not to think about how horribly things could go, Ford scrambled for a different approach.
“How…how about I see if I can find some clean clothes and then we can…talk?” In all honestly, Ford really did just want to sleep, and have a few hours to himself to calm his whirling emotions. However, he couldn’t entirely push away the notion that he should at least try to talk to Stan. After all, Stan was right about one thing: it had been thirty years since they’d last seen each other. And it would be prudent to figure out what their next step was as well. But to do that in a collected way, Ford knew he needed at least a few minutes to decompress first. If he didn’t, he was liable to snap at his brother again.
Stan let out a huff but after a moment, conceded. “Fine.” The smallest hint of a teasing smile grew on his mouth. “I mean, you do smell pretty bad.”
Ford couldn’t hold back the smallest huff of laughter. However, a movement later, he shook it off when he remembered why he was in the state that he was. “Yes, well…I don’t suppose you still have any of my old clothes around?”
For a moment, a shadow passed over Stan’s face, but it cleared up so quickly that Ford wasn’t quite sure it had been real or not. “Eh, yeah, there might be a box of your stuff somewhere around here.”
Ford met Stan’s eyes. For a moment, there was a connection between them. Like when they were kids. A sense of understanding, care, and concern. But it was gone before Ford could truly get a handle on the emotions and he quickly looked away and started heading inside. “Come along then.”
-----
 They ended up finding some of Ford’s old clothes in the back of Stan’s closet - or really Ford’s, seeing as Stan was sleeping in his old room. Ford would be lying if he said the old clothes didn’t bring back a lot of memories. Studying in college, researching Gravity Falls, running around in the woods chasing one anomaly or another. His old red turtleneck was in the best shape of all of them – aside from one of his old button ups, but that wouldn’t cover his tattoo. And there was no way he was going to let Stan see that. He was also grateful that his old coat was still in decent shape. In some ways, Ford clothes seemed to have aged better than Stan. Though there was a small hole in one of the arms of the turtleneck, and his old boots seemed to be permanently stained with mud, but it was better than the state of the clothes he had been living in for…he couldn’t even remember how long.
Despite saying he only needed new clothes, Ford had found himself insisting on a shower as well. Mostly because he needed more time to get his thoughts together. Though, he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t also itching get well and truly cleaned up. Sure, he’d had access to a shower in the parallel dimension – Fiddleford had seen to that – but that seemed like ages ago, and any time he encountered Bill, he felt far dirtier than he should.
Once clean, Ford made his way back into the hallway. Despite it being his house, the entire structure felt like a completely different place than he remembered. It no longer felt like home.
“That’s better. You look like a nerd again.”
Ford glanced over to see Stan standing in front of a mirror, a smirk on his face. Walking over, he looked in the mirror. And for the first time since he got back, he really got a look at himself and Stan. Side by side. They still looked the same – aside from differences in their hairstyle and…body shape. However, there was still that one glaring difference that once again reminded Ford of how long it had been since they’d been in the same room together: their age.
“Look at us. When did we become old men?”
Looking at Stan, Ford couldn’t help but be struck by another realization. “You look like Dad.”
“Ugh, uck, don't say that.” Stan made a face, looking at Ford and laughing.
For a moment, the connection that Ford had felt earlier came back, and he found himself laughing with his brother. But as before, it died as quickly as it came. As reality struck him once again. It was time to fill Stan in on the next steps. The ones that Ford had fought with himself over in the shower.
Letting out a sigh, Ford reminded himself of all that had happened. Not only returning – which in and of itself created a mess that was far more dangerous than Stan seemed to realize - but all that Stan had done while he was gone. Taking his name, his house, his life.
“Okay, Stanley, here's the deal. You can stay here for the summer to watch the kids. I'll stay down in the basement and try to contain any remaining damage. But when the summer's over, you give me my house back, you give me my name back, and this Mystery Shack junk is over forever. You got it?”
“You really aren't gonna thank me, are you?”
Anger flared up again in Ford’s chest. Thank Stan? For the mess he made? It took all his control not to snap at his brother again. So much for the time to himself helping him keep his cool. However, he did manage to hold his tongue.
Stan’s questioning look died, replaced by anger of his own. “Fine. On one condition: you stay away from the kids; I don't want them in danger.”
Stepping forward, Stan poked Ford’s chest, resulting in him having to lean back as Stan accused him of being the danger when Stan was the one that had put everyone in danger.
But Stan’s insensitivity wasn’t over as he continued. “Cause as far as I'm concerned, they're the only family I have left.”
After years in the multiverse, Ford was used to keeping his emotions in check, however, he still felt the sting of the comment as it penetrated deep into his heart. Thankfully, he managed to hide the pain, burying it underneath a layer of anger. After all, Stan was the one who had caused this mess, not him. Still, as he heard his brother’s footsteps on the stairs, the smallest hint of sadness wormed its way into Ford’s chest.
For a moment, he was looking at both of them in the mirror again. Twins who hadn’t seen each other in decades. Brothers who had once been best friends. Swallowing hard, Ford shoved the pain down as far as he could. He didn’t have time to dwell on those emotions. He had an interdimensional portal to check on, and make sure no one could ever use again. But despite his resolve, Ford found that he couldn’t make the pain go away completely. Just like he hadn’t been able to dispose of it all those years in the multiverse, when he’d wondered how his brother was doing. And if, by some strange miracle, he’d ever see him again. But those past wonderings were nothing like what had just happened, what was now his reality.
Letting out a sigh, Ford shook his head. He didn’t have time to dwell on his feelings, he needed to focus on his work. At least he had a goal that he could hone in on. Having a purpose had kept him sane for thirty years. It had given him something to focus on instead of the torrent of emotions running around in his mind. Hopefully this new goal would help him with these emotions as well.
One day at a time. That was all he could do. Get through each day until the summer was over and things could go back to normal – though he wasn’t entirety sure what normal was any more. No matter, that was a problem for another time. For now, he would cling to that future, the hope that some semblance of normal would return come the end of summer. It might be an uncertain thing, but right now it was the only one he had the energy to hold on to. So, he got to work.

I have a really loose idea of my personal Gravity Falls canon.
A few weeks back, I decided to look through some old messages with the guy who introduced me to Gravity Falls so I could see my original reaction to meeting Ford. 'Cause Ford is my whole world right now, right, I wonder what it was like when I first met him!
I found the conversation we had when I watched aToTS and.... nothing. Nothing at all. I mentioned Ford like twice between meeting him and finishing the show. And when asked who my favorite character was I said Stan. I was super confused before I realized...
I only started loving Ford after reading Jersey Boy.
Now Jersey Boy is a pretty damn heavy story, much more in line with the media I usually consume. It's a story about depression and homophobia and trauma and pain; it doesn't quite line up with the Disney channel cartoon aesthetic. But it is the most formative piece of media that my vision of Stanford Pines is based upon. So how do I reconcile that with the source material?
Not to mention that Jersey Boy is far from the only fan fic I love dearly. I very much read fan fic for characters, so all of the fan fics that I love the most are ones that have something to say about the characters I love. But each one is a little different, each one has a different flavor and they don't all line up.
Now, in reality, this is a non-issue. I don't have to have one canon timeline or even canon version of the characters; they can all exist independently. I just find it really interesting. I don't think I've ever read about a version of Ford that I love that also fits super well with the show.
