#like okay i like eps 1 and 2

[moinsbienquekaworu]

Unstoppable force (I really really want to rewatch some Sherlock BBC episodes and my brain won't let me do anything else) vs immovable object (none of them are actually good and I don't want to go through that experience again)

#like okay i like eps 1 and 2 #but ep 3 depresses me #the one with irene adler is uh. bad is a euphemism #the hound of baskerville is fine i suppose? eh? #the reichenbach fall bums me out #and then they're all. well. uh. not good! they're all not good! #like sorry but all the mary plotlines?? the SECRET SISTER?? #the only singular exception is that one scene in 3x3 where they're at the holmes parents' #and mycroft and sherlock are smoking and their mom catches them #and asks if they're smoking. mycroft goes 'no' and at the exact same time sherlock says 'it was mycroft' #and that interaction lives rent free in my head. it's so funny #not good enough to compensate for everything else in that episode though lol #so yeah. pain and suffering. #i guess it's going to be granada holmes then #wow i have a ramble tag now

[seokjinite]

its just . harder and harder for my man to hide it

#not that i blame him bc merlin is adorable but . #i have A Lot to say #first of all #the ep prior to this one. morgause luring him in with info about his mother #merthur sharing a similar pain due to not knowing a parent. good shit #but better than everything was 1 arthur's anger at uther and 2 how that whole thing only ended with him despising magic even more #which makes me only more intrigued about 1 what morgause is going to do next and why 2 ARTHUR'S REACTION WHEN HE FINDS OUT ABT MERLIN #now. the ep these blessed blessed screenshots are from #i. dont see the point. narratively speaking #like okay yes the girl said she owed merlin or something which im guessing is going to become useful in future episodes #apart from that though i dont see how it served the narrative like it was quite ooc for merlin #who so far has always put his destiny of protecting arthur above everything - to meet a random girl and wanting to flee w her? #like your most common couple of teens getting married in gretna green in 19th century england #i would have understood him developing a crush and wanting to protect her from harm but abandoning arthur and his mission ..... idk #it makes no sense to me so anyone is welcome to explain like genuinely #and then this scene <<<<3333 tattooing it on my eyelids me thinks #mary watches merlin #merlin

(1/2) Hi, Lauren! Would you recommend me to watch Two Worlds? I'm debating with myself for a few weeks now, watching all these gif sets on tumblr. The things is... I find most of the BLs quite cringy which is a big no for me. Usually I like the BLs you're watching (I've really loved KinnPorsche, Not me, Kisseki, A Tale of 1000 Stars, ...), but there have also been shows you really loved but I wasn't able to finish - main example being Love in the Air (i just wasn't able to get past episode 3).

(2/2) Next shows I've tried but didn't finish are for example: Naughty Babe, Cutie Pie, Pit Babe. Could you advise me on which scale do you think the Two Worlds are? It looks intriguing but I'm afraid of a possible cringe lurking in the background. Looking at the BLs I've loved and the ones I didn't finished, would you be able to guess how I would feel about this one?

---

Helloooo sweet anon! Thank you for your messages!

Firstly, I must say, the bl's you listed that you enjoyed are superior. Well done on your immaculate taste. And the list you provided that you couldn't finish is also hilarious and accurate and I'm agreeing wholeheartedly on your opinions.

In terms of Two Worlds...I'm gonna be honest with you, I only started watching it for Max Kornthas. The man has a hold on me that I can't explain. So I may be slightly biased, however, that doesn't stop me from telling you that the show has surprised me in so many ways. I'm thoroughly enjoying it as a whole and hope more people watch it once it's finished. (Learning that it wasn't a domundi/mandee production also helped massively.)

Where it stands on a kp/notme level vs cutiepie/naughtybabe/pitbabe level, let me try and break it down for you:

Production level isn't quite kinnporsche WOW, but it's also not naughty babe cgi tiger TRAGEDY. It tips more on the kp side of production value. The locations are gorgeous, and the cinematography is pretty as hell. There are some dodgy camera tricks being used, but nothing to worry too much about.

The acting: As a whole I would say it's definitely better than your average thai bl. It's absolutely not Gun Attaphan level good. But I will say that Max is kinda killing it- and I'm not saying that from a particularly bias lens. His acting has improved an incredible amount since cutie pie/naughty babe. Nat, bless him, still has a little ways to go to really impress me, but he's also improved so fucking much I have to commend him. The guy playing the 2nd love interest is definitely the weakest actor of the bunch, but overall the acting is pretty good. No major complaints from me.

The narrative: I think this story in particular is incredibly interesting, it's unique, it's angsty, it's romantic, it's brutal, it's exciting, and a little bittersweet. The pacing can be a bit all over the place at times, but if you just go with it, you'll catch up quickly enough. The one major flaw for me in thai bls in general is that sometimes the story seems way more complicated then they actually are. This story really isn't that complicated if you don't think too hard about the details. Are there plotholes? Ofc there are. But it's nothing too glaringly obvious that I want to rant about it.

Another plus is that there is no quick-how-can-we-promote-this-thing-that-has-no-relevance-to-the-show product placement, which is something I only noticed two episodes ago but am highly grateful for.

The thai bl cringefactor: There are moments where I thought I would be cringing up a storm, but so far it's been pretty tame in terms of typical bl cringe moments. There's no guitars or singing (praying it stays that way), but we have had a few 'oops i tripped and fell into you and now we're staring into each other's eyes' moments, but honestly? They didn't bother me in the slightest. Maxnat pull off the elongated looks very well.

Spice level: We've only had one NC scene so far, it was definitely more on the romance side of the fence than the spicy one, but it lasted 7 minutes long...do with that information what you will. We've got more to come from both Maxnat and our side couple (who I'm also enjoying greatly, btw) Maxnat know how to fucking de-li-ver and from the looks of the trailer, our side couple also get a pretty steamy moment too.

The only potential downside to the show is the hefty trigger warning list. If you want to know them you can message or dm me and I'll make a separate list for you.

This response probably didn't need to be as long as it did, but I wanted to give you the facts. Do I think you should watch it? Yes. Do I think you'll like it? I think so. But is it to the standard of bl you seem to really enjoy? No. Do with this information what you will! And please feel free to tell me if you do start watching it and enjoying it because I'd love to hear your thoughts!

ps. (the CACKLE I let out reading that you couldn't get past episode 3 of LITA was wild because you're so valid. I skipped episodes 1-7 because I also couldn't handle the cringe, but if you did want to try it again- episodes 8-13 are much better- still a little cringe, I won't lie to you- but it's definitely the stronger of the two stories.)

#two worlds #two worlds the series #also quick sidenote: #the first episode really doesn't show off the series very well #they released 2 episodes to begin with #so if you hate it after episode 1 #power through to at least ep 3 before dropping it #if you hate it after ep 3 then i would say it's likely not for you #and that's okay #happy watching #or not #zero pressure

Was gonna make a convoluted post talking about Evil X and Worm Man since y'know I like them a lot as evidenced on this blog but to sum it up, as funny and neat as they are as just plain joke characters they really do feel like foils to each other and I really wish that was shown more.

#player.text #/seed #ex: both their standalone episodes focuses on them facing a problem and having something to prove #however both of them go about it in very different ways #worm man tries to prove he's a hero via a escape room which ends up not proving much in the long run #whereas evil x begrudgingly plays the tag game after being tagged by x in the previous episode all while dying and failing in the process #however he does succeed in the end by tagging jevin #it's also worth noting that the whole reason evil x got tagged in the first place was because x setting up a button for evil x to find #despite the fact evil x was on good terms in the previous season #and in good fashion tag ends up with evil x going back on some habits of theirs although with less explosions and more stealing diamonds #you could say evil x did become evil again but i necessarily don't think so just because of the way he interacts with some of the hermits #okay but all that nonsense i said is just contradictions right? wrong! #okay sort of yeah but what does that say about them #1 wm already knows he's a hero and 2 without the right people ex will succumb to said old villainous ways #they both need each other. a friend really #evil x helps worm man see that he is a hero not just to himself but to others #which incidentally makes evil x fangirl over him from the one Christmas ep as he shouts worm man's name over and over #and as much as i would say worm man helped evil x see the goodness in themself i would more accurately say he helped them be themself #what i mean is only is wm present in s5 do we even hear/see the other stuff ex has done like sewing flower arrangements and baking #those qualities of ex are even shown in the worm man shop via bloodroses sewing patterns and cookies that THEY MADE #like they could've just presented merch similiar to wm like t-shirts or mug or heck those stupid journals with a logo on the front but no #i also wanna say that both wm and ex have never had an actual conflict or faced off despite both their roles being contradicting at a point #because as soon as ex does something bad to wm via imprisoning him it gets retconned after x stops the voice in their head #and despite ex putting him there wm doesn't see it #oblivious or not wm sees evil x as his sidekick. his friend #anyway if you read through all this wow kudos you deserve a cookie for my bs thank u truly <3

I mean... despite everything....

I still think this season was better than season 4 🤭

#episodes 7 and 10 didnt quite stick the landing but a majority of the season was fun!! #wwdits spoilers #spoilers in the tags .. .. giving you time to look away and scroll by if you havent seen the final 2 eps.... okay #i wish guillermo was a full vampire for a bit longer #idk if there will be another season but there's a lot of fun in the idea of full vamp memo even for 1 more episode #like a season premiere of the new status quo #and then finding a better reason to undo it #also I'm sawri i dont buy laszlo not knowing how guillermo's van helsing blood would stunt his transformation #one thing i didnt like this season was they couldn't make up their mind about how competent laszlo is #anyway those are some of my thoughts having just watched the finale #more thoughts to come later maybe idk #wwdits #wwdits s5 #mia posts a thing

I just realized what's wrong with the Targaryen wigs in HotD: they don't look like Targaryen hair, they look like they were stolen from the Malfoys. They all share one (1) or at best two wigs in toto and it makes them look like freaking Lucius Malfoy clones

#jokes aside episode 1 was quite good (yes i finally caved in and started watching the fire lizards show) #there were many nice touches that made me go 'mmmmh good stuff.' #1. the juxtaposition of aemma's horrific death in childbirth/the knights killing each other at the tournament #clearly reminiscent of that quote from one of brienne's chapters... heh now i can't fully remember it in english #2. THEY NAME-DROPPED THE SONG OF ICE AND FIRE (which was never even remotely referred to in got) #the whole thing about aegon and the prophecy has been a particularly favorite fan theory of mine for years and i'm happy it's canon #fake lizard monarchs haters gonna hate :)) #tho it's VERY bittersweet considering the got finale... like the prince that was promised was *spins roulette* #a stark all along? like randomly? (and no obviously i'm not talking about jon. he *is* half targaryen after all) #and let's not forget about the true heir being put down like a mad bitch because d&d liked jon better (since he's a man) #and were like 'revolutionary who wants to help people/actually abolished slavery in another continent bad. let's enforce the status quo :))) #(also the double standards. war crimes are okay only if other nobles do it - especially the starks. if you have a dragon and are a woman #and dare to be slightly mortally grey and/or ambitious... in 2 days you're gonna burn children alive!! because ofc.) #..... *cough cough* okay salty rant is over. let's go on with val's hotd first impressions #2. i didn't hate matt smith as daemon and he's particularly good at looking upset and/or sad but i still think he was miscast #3* #like he CAN act and it shows. but it's as if he were making an effort to appear more believable for this role #idk maybe he'll grow on me in the next eps. also his interactions with rhaenyra were a++ but that's nothing new #can't wait for this girl to fuck her uncle ig (...... what did i become skskksks) #4. i also liked rhaenyra&alicent's interactions. this is gonna be another tragic former besties to worsties for me to cry on :((( #5. i mostly liked the costumes. i liked how this is all about the patriarchy (at least so far). i liked the slight but still noticeable #references to the main show (the music. rhaenyra being an obvious dany lookalike. #lord stark pledging his fealty to her while viserys' voice over is speaking about the threat in the north. #viserys telling her 'promise me rhaenyra. promise me' in what i believe is an echo of lyanna's last words to ned... i think? #like it can't be accidental) #god i missed being excited over this stupid and gorgeous series #obv it helps that i actually never read fire&blood (should i?) and i'm only familiar with the events/characters from twoiaf #house of the dragon #val speaks #txt

dont even talk 2 me radio free roscoe is so cute

#I was like okay 1 more ep and ill see if ill go on #and its a cross dressing episode <3 <3 <3 #only changing the voice pretending 2 be a girl but. STILL idk i love gender weirdnesssss #and idk okay bye

Dislike how explicit bls have made it so its not a bl unless two men are ripping each others clothes off and fucking on every available surface in my opinion a true bl is where the symbolism is in how they drink their wine, if they talk about the red thread of fate, if flowers fall from the sky when they meet, and in how their hands brush one (1) time in episode 26

#kinnporsche has nothing on lwj and wwx on the steps of koi tower actually #and certainly its got nothing on wenzhou linking hands and drinking wine like theyre at their wedding #like okay they had sex. and what? #where are the memorable lines the way lwjs eyes tell you everything hes thinking the way wheb wkx says wife u know he means zzs is husband #like #this might be me being demi but can we go back to subtext i dont actually want to see some dude try to jack kinn off under a table with his #feet #i just want that 'subtlety' free had when they had rin do the anime girl love interest turn when haru professed his undying love #and i want the flirtation through poetry bc no one can say outright that they are flirting #also tian guan ci fu live action and s2 when i loved that #sharing bedrolls cleaning houses together the husband symbolism in ep 1 #excellent brilliant #link click? two guys living together going mad when ones in danger the tsundere one and the cutesy one !!! #what im getting at is i dont mind sexy scenes so long as theyre there for a reason and not just fanservice #and yes wwx shoving a sword up his ass did nothing for plot or symbolism BUT but we got a good 300 pages of pining BEFORE he did that #and when i see edits of mdzs its always the really loving scenes between them #but when i see kinnporsche edits its just them fucking ive seen way too much of those 2 men making out #and i dont like it #where is the emotional substance #like yeah we know wenzhou spent the rest of their days in that cave fucking like rabbits #but also we got 36 episodes and like 5 deaths at least out of it #like before you get to the sex #build up a good plot and good characters #idk #i miss old bls i guess i miss when bl meant boys LOVE not bloys LOVEMAKING is that so much to ask for

new ep of hotd i cannot believe i actually look forward to them now

#idk okay i just find it entertaining #them and their weird ass traditions #ep 1 was admittedly a lot more gory than i expected #but ep 2 was much more pleasant and had the right amount of court politics #i like rhaenys the most but watching her offer her 12 year old to viserys was ☠️ #then again. this is the targaryen house #what else would you expect right
