#gameboys - gaya sa pelikula - pearl next door: all tackling actual queer issues in reallybeautiful ways

[throwing-roses-into-the-abyss]

can I just say though, on this day of...whatever the hell that thing was supernatural did, that I’m incredibly grateful to be in BL world, and especially grateful for thoughtful, sensitive and beautifully-done series like Gaya Sa Pelikula existing. I may have spend half the day laughing at memes about an angel being dragged into super hell for confessing his gay love, but it was so good to sit down for half an hour to a beautifully made series about actual queer issues and actual queer love.

#bl world has its issues for sure #not everything is perfect to say the least #heck I'm staying away from tharntype s2 for a lot of reasons #but I do love how the philippines looked at thailand's bl series and just thought 'oh we can do that too - except actually GOOD' #like if you just want dumb romance that happens to be gay: thailand's your place to go #which is also valid!! not everything has to be deep and beautiful #sometimes you just want simple romance without the queer angst #but if you do want something thoughtful you need to look at the philippines #gameboys - gaya sa pelikula - pearl next door: all tackling actual queer issues in reallybeautiful ways #japan does those too but more dramatically because they're a very nostalgic people #korea does do the cute romances but in a very high quality well-written way #definitely recommend those too #taiwan does the crack storylines that are NOT about students and then makes you cry about them
