Playing Mind Games
Hey friends; it's 2:30 AM and I come to you with a new trope character list. Master Manipulative Mains. These men have orchestrated tactics and falsified scenarios to land themselves the men that they want.
This is a trope that I don't necessarily dislike because I do like these characters and the overall relationship dynamics are some of my faves. I'm not saying these characters are bad boyfriends, but the way they went about getting these boyfriends were a bit questionable.
If I was on the receiving end these mind games I would be throwing hands immediately. Anyway, enjoy this list of my fave Manipulative BL Protagonists.
Payu from Love in the Air
I love Payu, I really do, but the man preyed on Rain's ignorance of car maintenance and tampered with the boy's car because he knew Rain would turn to him for help, he was counting on it. He wanted Rain to owe him so he could take advantage of a non-existent debt he created. Like sir. You could've just asked him out, you saw the way he was ogling you at that dinner party. Then he made Rain jump through hoops to prove he was good enough for him and didn't tell him about the car tampering until after they were well established.
Tumblr media
Nubsib from Lovely Writer
Nubsib auditioned for a series his longtime crush, Gene, was the source writer for in the hopes of running into this man again. And then took advantage of his manager's friendship with that same writer and had him lie so that he could live with Gene. He tricked Gene into running lines with him so he could kiss him and had no intention of telling him that they were childhood friends. He just decided to wait until Gene found out on his own. He said he didn't want Gene to look at him like a younger brother so that's why he didn't reveal his true identity. Yea no, that's not how this works.
Tumblr media
Gao Shi De from We Best Love: No. 1 for You
In order to be a memorable presence in his long time crush's life, Shi De had taken it upon himself to become Shu Yi's sole rival from grade school through college. He one-upped his unsuspecting crush in sports, competitions, and academics. He also conned Shu Yi into being his errand boy so they could spend time together. And then when they finally got closer he convinced his cousin who just so happened to be the Uni's doctor to let him use his infirmary to set up a lock-in Halloween sleepover with Shu Yi. The manipulation Olympics Shi De put himself through was unmatched.
Tumblr media
Theo from Enchante
This man deserves an award for the manipulation tactics he went through to get Akk to confess to him first. He created a whole secret admirer to try to make Akk jealous and admit he liked him. Then he accidentally got the Uni's 4 most popular students to pretend they were his Enchante which further fueled his convoluted plan. Like he knew they weren't his admirer but he said nothing, I think it's because he could tell that Akk was jealous which was what he wanted. And then when the truth was finally revealed Akk just accepted it?? I guess he was just happy to find out Theo liked him. Couldn't be me.
Tumblr media
Kim Jun Ho from Kissable Lips
This vampire planned to use his supernatural charm to make an innocent Choi Min Hyun fall in love with him so he could drink all his blood and become human. He literally took advantage of every moment they had together to try to drink his blood. Jokes on him, his ass fell in love. SMH.
Tumblr media
Honorable mentions to Nuea from Secret Crush on You, because that man was very aware of Toh's crush on him and managed to convince Toh he was gonna teach him how to kiss but really he just wanted to smooch his little stalker because he liked him too. Not to mention that man stripped in front of Toh every chance he got, but honestly Toh was so into it that I can't even be mad.

In the need for a lovely meta deep dive.
Lovely Writer, it is. (Its a long one, sorry not sorry)
Gene and Nubsib are great but this show as a whole is an amazing pointed look at the problematic layers in the BL world and how different parties contribute to it.
Addressing the lack of consent, the use of coercion, and overall toxic masculine machismo used as a vehicle to get to NSFW scenes. It is refreshing that we see the managers who are notorious for being predatory in these shows actually be supportive and have dimension to their characters. And big ups to Nubsib for refusing to hook up with a drunk Gene.
As a demisexual, I appreciate the conversations around the egregious and gratuitous use of sex to cover for bad scripts and the trend of ignoring the plot for the sake of sex.
The fans' unhinged entitlement and commodification of an actor, the dehumanization and puppetry in fan service, and the hostile industry's romanticism of SA. Possessive parasocial relationships.
The show also does a great job of addressing the subversive caricature assumptions and stereotypes regarding the LGBT+ community within the script and in the shows IRL. The callouts to the hypocrisy and those disrespectful views towards the gay community while also marketing said gayness to straight women. Also, the pressure to come out or stay in the closet is based on how the news can be again commodified.
Oh the coming out scenes in the second half of the show had me clenching everything. It was very tense and you see the subtle hypocrisy in the parents who never consider the possibility of their children being anything but straight.
Homophobia vs Fear of Retaliation: Even though Gene's dad was in love with a man once, he is still not immediately accepting of his son's sexuality. I was cheering for the gumption and boldness when Gene's brother threw that back at his father and reminded him that he was bisexual. It was nice that the father was more supportive and opened up about the fact that his opposition came from fear of his son going through similar trials and pain. Its a nice change from the usual trope of a shitty and homophobic father and open minded.
The continued digs at optics and performativity. Acting, couples, products, fan service, stereotypes, gender norms, media, etc etc.
At its core we have Gene and Nubsib who are dealing with different aspects of all of these issues and the rapid nature of the media, from opposite sides of the lens. We see this a great deal in the Press Conference episode or as I call it, Ghost Ship v Show Ship.
The unreliable narrative across the board is done in a very tongue and cheek way which I appreciate. Even until the end, it's not even hiding what it's doing. Gene was literally the creator of this show that the fans supposedly loved but they were quick to hate him simply for being the person Nubsib actually want to be with.
Though, Aoey irks me and needs more therapy then there are days in the century. I did appreciate the continued dig at the obsessive nature of the fans and how we see that contribute to Aoey's declining mental state . But I refuse to feel more than the requisite level of sympathy for this bottle of chaos especially after the waterworks show on a Live he did to capitalize on the hate being thrown at Gene. Aoey is what I would describe as a wrecking ball. Not malicious, but destructive all the same. He doesn't spend much time thinking about the consequences of his actions and only focuses on the possibility for attention and love which he craves to the point of obsession. (Like I said, so much therapy). But the show illustrates that flawlessly and shows him alone at the end due to his actions, full of fame but it's hollow. Mhok was right there but some people craft these self-fulfilling prophecies and force the other shoe to drop instead of accepting love. I'm glad that the show allows Mhok to move on.
Especially at the end where we see Gene and Nubsib forced to lie about their relationship which predates their fame or the show because of how strangers on the internet feel, how it affects the show (within the show) actual ship, and the genuine obsession with the "ghost ship". Toxic behavior all around hurts everyone for the sake of coin. Nubsib was ready to just give up his career if it meant he could be with the one he loved but Gene, ever the practical one, wasn't willing to allow him to destroy his job. But they thankfully addressed that the temporary nature of putting out media fires was never ending because of the toxic expectations the industry and the fans had.
In short, Lovely Writer did an amazing job of addressing so many of the overarching issues that plague the industry by being a show within a show, a story within a story, and showing the facets of both. And the last scene was a great tie-in, continuing to hint that none and all of it was real at the same time.
I am all for appreciating and loving the acting in a show but I wish more people understood that the people doing the acting are not the characters. And I am not owed their time outside of that. And this show as well as the War of Y are doing good work by continuing to point out the trappings and pitfalls beneath the glitz, sheet masks, snack placements, and all the pretty people.

Gene: Go get dressed, I'll take you to school
Also Gene, 40 seconds later: Stay in your lane, don't bother me
He's such a prickly muffin

Top 5 “oh” “oh” moments? (Aka when one person realizes the other person likes them.)
Oh fun! Btw I thought you meant "oh moments" like the main realized they fell in love so thanks for clarifying! Top 5 "Oh he likes me?" Moments
Love in the Air. Payu notices Rain likes him pretty early on and the exact moment (for me) is when Payu shows up to the code party and Rain is literally sending Payu the "come fuck me" eyes and that was basically all the green light Payu needed to devise a plan.
Tumblr media
Gameboys the Series. Gav and Cai were just reconnecting after Cai finally felt like he was ready to return to the online world after the tragic passing of his father. He and Gav were preparing to play an online game and Gav couldn't find Cai's screen name because he changed it and he's typing in the new name as Cai tells him, "Baby ni Gav." This was the moment Gav realized that Cai did in fact like him back.
Tumblr media
Kinnporsche the Series. Ep 6 aka The Forest of Realization. I think both Kinn and Porsche had their moments in this ep. For Kinn I think he realized Porsche liked him when Porsche was willing to sacrifice his hand to free them from cuffs. And for Porsche I think he realized Kinn liked him when he was willing to let him run away. Like I know they were vibing but I think those moments really confirmed things for them.
Tumblr media
Lovely Writer. After Nubsib picks up his drunken crush Gene actually admits to liking Nubsib but I don't think Sib actually trusts the confession. I think later when Gene tells him he's confused and Sib asks him why and Gene struggles to answer, that was the moment. That was the moment Nubsib realized Gene liked him even though Gene wasn't sure, Nubsib was.
Tumblr media
We Best Love: Fighting Mr. 2nd. The reconciliation scene. Shi De FINALLY tells Shu Yi the whole truth behind their breakup and genuinely apologizes. It's clear he's not expecting anything from Shu Yi at this point. He just wants to tell his truth. The absolute RELIEF and shock on his face when Shu Yo reveals he still has their couple's bracelet. It's then when he realizes that Shu Yi still loves him and wants to get back together and, most importantly, forgive him. It was indeed an "Oh he STILL loves me" moment.
Tumblr media
This was fun! Thanks anon!!

Beautiful
Despite being together for years, he still didn't understand what Nubsib saw in him.
Gene wasn't what people would call beautiful or handsome, with luck he would be told that he looks average.
So he didn't understand why Nubsib always called him the most beautiful person he had ever met.
No matter how much Gene tried to find what Nubsib found beautiful himself, he just couldn't.
Maybe it came from the years he spent all alone and how no one seemed interested in him which affected his self-esteem but Gene just didn't consider himself good looking.
But Nubsib seemed to have a sixth sense to know when Gene was thinking about this as he would force Gene to be in front of the mirror in just underwear as he told him every little thing he loved and considered beautiful on him.
Gene may never believe he was beautiful but Nubsib would always make him feel loved and feel beautiful in those moments and that was enough for Gene.
