@oldtakakweek day one: birthdays, morning/night routine, disability

kakyoin’s fucked up spine whenever it detects changes in the matress: im going to make such a big deal out of this

also here’s an add-on of their night routine:

image id of this all under cut

image id: a sketchy, 8-paged digital comic, and a single digital sketch, of kakyoin noriaki and jotaro kujo from jojo’s bizarre adventure as old men, living together, had they both survived to make it to the point.

the comic:

in the first page, kakyoin wakes up slowly and finds he’s alone, the other side of the bed empty

in the second page, kakyoin is making warm drinks (tea for himself, coffee for jotaro), and then is seen rolling outside in a wheelchair, with aforementioned drinks on a tray in his lap. the sun is rising, their house close to the sea, as he heads towards a shed in the unfenced backyard

in the third page, jotaro is leaned over an aquarium tank, handling a nudibranch, gently carrying it to some algae to eat. he’s smiling, the scar on his face from pucci visible. kakyoin smiles at him privately before announcing his presence with a “morning.” jotaro turns, saying “oh! noriaki. morning”

in the fourth page, jotaro takes his cup and sips, while kakyoin grumbles, “you woke me up.” jotaro replies, “sorry.” kakyoin adds on, “on my birthday.” jotaro replies, “sorry.” kakyoin pauses before asking, “how are the nudis” and jotaro responds “good!”

in the fifth page, jotaro finishes his cup, smiling at kakyoin fondly. “thank you. for the coffee” he says

in the sixth page, kakyoin squirms a bit over the blatant gratitude, clearly unsure with how he should respond

in the seventh page, kakyoin breathes out, smiling with his eyes closed, ironically as if admitting defeat, while he says, “...sure. next time you wake me up though, i’m putting salt or cyanide in it.” jotaro laughs off screen

in the eighth page, jotaro has turned back to his tank, smiling softly as he promises, “i’ll be back inside soon,” and kakyoin comments, “you better!”. in the last panel, kakyoin is rolling back to the house and jotaro is facing his nudibranchs again. both are smiling as they do.

the sketch:

kakyoin is sitting on the bathroom counter in a nightgown, squinting as he focuses on shaving jotaro’s face, who’s standing patiently in his tank top and pajama pants. jotaro says, “you know noriaki, i can do this mys-” before kakyoin interupts, saying, “NO i want to. it’s practice so i don’t cut myself when i shave.” jotaro lets out an ironic “thanks...” in response to this

okay so to be clear i’m NOT dissing people who enjoy this dynamic, like what you like you don’t need my permission, and i totally understand that there will be fanon interpretations of characters that diverge from canon in like every big fandom (AND that fandoms kinda default to describing platonic relationships as familial pretty often but that’s a whole other thing,) however I’m kinda surprised of how much I see the whole parental Bucciarati thing specifically applied to Giorno?? Like i get where it comes from in general, with him taking in people and helping them as their intro to the group e.g. Narancia and Mista (although I would personally call that more of a hero role or possibly big brother more than parent) but like,, that didn’t happen with Gio. If anything, Giorno more saved Bucciarati than the other way around, and his introduction to the group reads less like they’re taking him in like the others and more like Bucciarati going “hey check out this guy isn’t he cool? i think he’s pretty neat he even reset my morals what a guy!” Just, if the catalyst for the parental reading is Bruno saving people, and Giorno is already saved when he meets him, it doesn’t quite connect for me to the whole “wow he is so clearly a 20 year old foster parent and Giorno is his son!” thing that I see pretty often. Just to repeat this, I DONT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE CONCEPT, i even think it’s fun sometimes! I just don’t quite get it because to me they’ve always just kinda seemed like comrades/friends who share values particularly strongly, plain and simple.

#don’t even get me started on the whole abbacchio is a dad thing #i do get why it’s a thing #because people ship bruabba and if bruno is a parent then the person he likes would be one too #but although bruabba’s neat he just isn’t even a role model #let alone parental #i want to be very clear this is not discourse #i’m just thinking #vento aureo #golden wind #jjba meta #jjba #jojo #bruno bucciarati #giorno giovanna #my best guess is it’s a concept people use to represent how they were so close and cared so much after a week or so #but tbh sometimes friends just click like that!#and it doesn’t detract from the way they’re close to me to just take it as friendship and not label it as family for emphasis #however i do think the idea that they were like brothers is very sweet #or could have been like that

Self shippers will really tell themselves “once you get through this Thing, you can go imagine scenarios with your blorbo as a reward.” It’s me, I’m self shippers, and I’ll be thinking about Aaravos calling me his starlight and telling me how proud he is of my hard work when I get done with the current thing I’m working on.

#my guys I am so super deluxe burnt out but I’m gonna rest SO hard when I’m done #i think this might be a slower week at my job so that’s nice #I’ll still have stuff for classes but whatever #self ship gushing #non jojo crushes #starlight kisses

Dear people of Tumblr, I've come to ask for your wisdom once again 🙏

Do you know if there is a Jotawife week? I've seen that a lot of ships in the JoJo fandom have their own week (especially as a drawing challenge if I understood it right..?) but nothing about Jotawife

And if there isn't any, how do people create a ship week? I mean, is it something "institutionalised" in the fandom?? Do we have to follow certain rules??? And most importantly, would anyone create this week with me if it's possible?????

Yeah a lot of questions I know, I still have a lot to learn about how fandoms work lmao 🥲

Anyway, thank you in advance !! ✨️

#pls how do fandoms work #ship week #jjba #jojos bizarre adventure #jojo no kimyou na bouken #jotawife

THE MORNING AFTER: ONLY FRIENDS, EPISODE 12 -- WHEN ONLY FRIENDS GOT 2GETHER-ED

TRIGGER WARNING: EVERYONE'S UP FOR CRITICISM HERE, JOJO AND TEAM, FORCEBOOK, FIRSTKHAO, ALL OF THEM. Read at your peril.

Well. Big deep breaths. I spent a lot of time on a show that had been marketed as not-a-BL, that ended as a BL. As a mom with not that much time to spend on watching and writing on dramas that were marketed incorrectly, I am feeling some kinda way (fucking pissed off).

So many people had amazing takes yesterday, on both sides of the aisle, regarding how the show ended (pro-ending here, anti-ending here, here, here, here, here, and here, and my dear friends @neuroticbookworm and @lurkingshan did heavy lifting on reblogs yesterday, so stroll on over to their blogs for more).

I want to set up a constellation of points to touch upon before I get into the meat of this post.

1) I referred quite a bit to my review of Theory of Love throughout my watch of Only Friends. In that review, I meditate on how the majority of the general global public judges sex, and casual sex, and people who have sex and/or casual sex. Generally speaking -- even in countries that makes as progressive art on sex and sexuality as Thailand and the United States -- that's a rule of thumb that I can rely on. Sex is judged by the majority of the global public.

2) I hate to say it. I cannot believe this happened. But I was right about monogamy being an ultimate theme in Only Friends. Not just a theme, fam. A theme by which people judged others for having open, casual, and consensual sex. Queer sex. Queer sex that is so very often had outside of the constraints of a monogamous relationship.

There was a reason why that holiday party was populated by couples, except for Boston, and Boston had to grovel to them in apology for their friendship. In Only Friends: monogamy wins, and casual queer sex loses.

3) Unfortunately, in part though an analysis of Cheum inside of last week that I accidentally started (ha), I see that points 1 and 2 come together to have created a fabric and framework of judgement that Only Friends ended on.

The last paragraph in this excellent post by @benkaaoi notes that the assumption by a large portion of the OF fandom that the creative choices that were made to end this series were designed to save the sanctity -- economic and otherwise -- of the shipped pairs of ForceBook and FirstKhao. This rings true to me.

Most of the BL shows that I've watched this year are older shows, through my Old GMMTV Challenge, in which I've been studying the changes over time that GMMTV and other Thai networks, have made towards their editorial choices, attitudes, and risks in producing BLs. I included Only Friends on this syllabus to note the show's impact as a kind of zeitgeist measure of how much heat and literary controversy GMMTV could take in airing increasingly progressive queer media -- even though Only Friends wasn't originally intended to be a BL.

To the theory that Only Friends needed to save the ships... and to another theory that the ships needed to be saved in the most moralistically judgmental way that I could have ever imagined (I was actually blown away by how heavy-handed this messaging was) -- I look to the ending of 2gether.

The majority general reaction to the ending of 2gether from within the existing BL fandom in 2020, was one of guffawed incredulousness. BrightWin/SarawatTine did not kiss in the first season of 2gether. It took Aof Noppharnach to come in to make Still 2gether to indicate that these two young men may have been at least vaguely sexual with each other throughout the course of their fictional relationship.

Yet, 2gether was a massive success. Many theorize it was because 2gether was the first big BL to air during the start of the COVID pandemic, and new BL fans had time to be at home and watch shows. But I posit in my 2gether/Still 2gether review that 2gether was also successful PRECISELY BECAUSE IT LACKED SEX (and by sex here, I mean plain old kissin').

As I stated earlier: sex is judged by the majority of the global public. With BrightWin NOT kissing, new fans who may have been implicitly and/or explicitly turned off by physical depictions of queer love could glom comfortably onto 2gether, and watch a BL without the "threat" of physical depictions of two men expressing their love to each other.

Subsequently, BrightWin gained massive social media followings, 2gether made GMMTV buckets of money, and GMMTV went -- well, hot diggity.

Many of us had impressions of Only Friends as...something else than it ended up being. Early on, Jojo Tichakorn, for instance, cited an early non-GMMTV, non-BL show, Gay OK Bangkok, that he and Aof Noppharnach worked on in 2016 and 2017, as being referential to Only Friends. Gay OK Bangkok centered on a group of queer friends, mostly cisgender men with Jennie Panhan in the mix, as they lived their lives and dated away in Bangkok.

I'll tell ya, GOKB didn't end the way Only Friends did, and I'll get into that more in a bit. I believe @benkaaoi, @lurkingshan, and others are absolutely right that the ultimate moralization on casual sex that this show depicted -- and how Only Friends punished Boston for his casual sex -- was an economic decision designed to reflect on the sanctity of monogamy that shipped couples like ForceBook and FirstKhao can sell back to their fans, fans that may have actually flocked to GMMTV shows from 2gether, and that demand a fantasy of devoted monogamy from both fictional characters and professional actors who are actually only just doing fan service to earn their livings. GMMTV has known for a long time how to make money, and money the network doth has made from Only Friends, and from shipping their ships around the world to service the growing fandom.

Casual sex in fiction, casual sex that breaks up the ships.... fucks that economic shit all up.

GMMTV has taught us our lesson, a lesson that we had already learned from the no-kissing rule of 2gether. Loose lips shall not sink ships at this network. And I think we lost a chance for a big and progressively artistic zeitgeist that GMMTV could have taken risks on, if it had the courage to risk depicting something truly novel.

I want to note quickly another framework that I dug into while I was watching this show. I sent a flare to @lurkingshan before I started watching the episode that I was going to, in part, watch this last episode from my personal Asian lens. I wanted to ask myself, as I was watching this disaster -- is there anything happening here that strikes my heart with fear and doom as an Asian?

Indeed, yes. I didn't expect it, but there was a dialogue on individualism vs. collectivism.

Boston. My dear, sweet Boston. Boston, named after a city so very distant from Bangkok.

Boston was punished by his group of friends because he didn't adhere to the rules of the group. His individualistic actions and preferences -- his preferences to "roll alone," as Nick stated, would not work in the frameworks of either monogamy with Nick and/or the group dynamics of the hostel crew.

The link I linked above is an amazing answer to an inquiry I posed to dear @absolutebl last year about how Asian social collectivist paradigms are depicted in BLs. In that question-and-answer dialogue, I asked ABL Sensei about the motif of queer revelations in BLs, and how seemingly straight characters respond in kind to being approached with a proposition to a queer dalliance and/or relationship. Generally speaking, the Asian collectivist mindset is to at least attempt to respond in kind to those kinds of propositions, as one's behavioral habits are designed to be responsive to others instinctually, as opposed to only servicing oneself. To only service oneself is not only seen as selfish, but also as disturbing to the general flow of public existence among one's societies. To respond in kind means that you will not cause potentially disturbing angst to another individual or group. (Collectivism explains why Asian countries performed much better with mask mandates during the pandemic than we in the States did.)

So -- Boston filming Ray, Boston sleeping with Top, created waves in the friend group. He was so severely punished for it.

And the show iterates, and repeats, Nick's preference that Boston move forward alone in Boston's life, because of Boston's tendencies to make decisions that suit himself. As an Asian-American, I mutter to myself: god forbid.

Nick will not commit to Boston -- and yet, will also condemn Boston for making his own decisions outside of the specter of a monogamy that does not exist between Nick and Boston, and that Boston will still get judged for, as referenced in the Sand/Nick conversation depicted above.

In other words: if Boston makes a decision for himself? That's punishable. Because it might hurt someone else's feelings -- a someone else that actually hasn't committed to Boston, and/or allowed Boston to commit himself to.

This group caught Boston in a moralistic and collectivist catch-22, the likes of which I just would have never expected from Jojo and team, even if the creative team faced the economic pressures of the GMMTV bigwigs. I'm sorry to state that I am beyond disappointed in this condemnation of individualism, sending Boston alone, judged, and friendless, off to New York City to live in, what, the immoral boundaries of Chelsea? Homey, get a fucking SWEET-ASS PAD, and FUCK THESE LOSERS, leave 'em BEHIND in your cloud of airplane gas emissions. See you at the La Quinta rooftop bar on 32nd Street, friendo.

Only Friends could have ended so much better. And I understand that in the Only Friends novel, published AFTER the script was finished, that it did end somewhat better for Boston (cc @jinitak, reporting from Thailand, thank you for this heads-up about the novel!).

So. Any-fucking-way. Do y'all know how Gay OK Bangkok ended?

Of many lovely endings for the various GOKB characters, an older main character, Aof, was dating a much younger character, Big. (CC to @neuroticbookworm for our quick convo on this last night.)

Aof was sex-averse. Big wanted lots of sex. Big slept with a lot of people. He loved Aof. Aof couldn't handle Big having sex with other people, and they broke up. It was a lovingly handled break-up, written just gorgeously by Aof Noppharnach.

After their break-up, I thought Big would disappear from the show. Instead. Instead! Nong Big, the little brother to the core group of queer friends that centered GOKB, was welcomed back with open arms. Arm, Pom, Sathang (played by an effervescent Jennie Panhan), and others toasted to Big, telling him he would always be family, no matter if him and his ex, Aof, had broken up. In the queer circles of friends that I'm a part of, exes are not as commonly excommunicated as they are in straight circles.

Only Friends could have been this. Something, a little something, like this.

Instead, Only Friends punished a friend for acting outside of the rules of their group.

Boston was punished because.... because Only Friends had to end up being a BL. For the sake of the moolah, for the sake of collectivism, for the sake of the shippers who'll buy tickets around the world to see ForceBook and FirstKhao perform fan service on stage.

I just didn't think that the show would be so brutal, on so many levels, in the end, to people who want to have casual sex. I don't think any of us expected this. But, it's over, it's done, and the piece has been said -- GMMTV said, no casual sex today, and here's how we actually feel about it.

I'll see you over on Gagaoolala for Playboyy. Deuces, OF.

(It was an absolute pleasure writing meta with the Ephemerality Squad -- onto the next one! @lurkingshan @neuroticbookworm @ranchthoughts @twig-tea @slayerkitty @thatgirl4815 @distant-screaming @clara-maybe-ontheroad)
