Thank you so much for your thorough response. I'm not always good at following production companies. Please ignore this if I'm overstepping, I've already asked for a lot of your time and research, but other than 9naa are there other companies you boycott because of how they treat actors? I know there were some issues with 2moons and I know there were some issues for Saint, though those were long before my time in the fandom.

That's completely understandable. There's so many companies now that do BL - some of them aren't even primarily into entertainment (a skincare company did The Promise, and I think there's at least one car dealership delving into BL things now too, while other companies are purely for investment and why would you even follow those if they're only about money?).

I'm trying to stay up-to-date because I'm interested in the industry side of things but I probably missed a lot of stuff as well.

Here's what I know for sure:

Motive Village

Motive Village did 2Moons. Then they did 2Moons2 with the same characters (and story!) but all different actors. THEN they did 2Moons: The Ambassador with (some of) the same characters (and story) and different actors again.

Why did they do that? Probably because they're so bad at managing their actors that they're all collectively running away as soon as possible. But that's not even the worst part. One of the actors from 2Moons2, Din Teerapat (then known as Earth Teerapat), was actively excluded and blocked from all promotion while being completely trapped in his contract. Other actors weren't paid and were badly mismanaged. Then there's very serious allegations that Din might have been (I'm phrasing this as carefully as possible) harrassed by one of MV's higher-ups. Din never spoke about it and has since decided to move on.

Aam Anusorn, who directed 2Moons2 (and isn't related to MV in any way) has spoken up about this, and his series Call It What You Want is supposedly based on some of what happened.

Other actors who "escaped" MV include Bas Suradej, Copter Panuwat, Kimmon Warudom (who went on to sign with Star Hunter for a while and did the very delightful Gen Y which is basically 2Moons fanfiction), Tae Darvid & Tee Thanapon (who did Triage), Boun Noppanut (who was never with MV but wasn't paid for his guest role in 2Moons), Joong Archen, Pavel Naret, Benjamin Brasier & Dome Woranart. The latest escapee seems to be Park Anandatej who will be in Monster next Door.

Benjamin Brasier and Dome Woranart seem to be back to working with Motive Village recently and I'm honestly a bit ?? ??? about it.

Y.Entertainment

Y.Ent did Unforgotten Night and For Him the Series. Recently, the leads of For Him, Tor Atagorn and Dew Nitikorn (along with Yoon Phusanu who starred in Unforgotten Night and had a cut guest role in For Him), have come forward saying that they were never paid for their work in For Him. Additionally, Tor has opened up about being continuously harrassed and stalked by someone on and off set during filming. It affected him so badly that he is now in therapy and on medication for depression and anxiety.

Just yesterday Yoon Phusanu held a press conference because he still hasn't been paid. He's one of the few actors who actually have the means to hire lawyers and go against his company. His lawyer has stated that not many young actors in Thai BL can afford to do the same.

9NAA

9NAA did Check Out, Venus in the Sky and, most recently, Kiseki Chapter 2. You know about 9NAA already but for everyone else reading this and wanting to know what's going on with them, here's a short summary.

Here's some other companies involved in Thai BL who have done some mildly questionable things:

Maximon who have since rebranded as Harikarn (with another company now named Maximon that might also have been emerged from the original Maximon... it's complicated) might have not paid their actors for Chains of Heart until the series had long finished airing. Haii Sarunsathorn and Boom Raweewit, the leads, made some very carefully worded joke tweets about it - which kind of makes you go hmmmm. There was also a freelancer who spoke up about not getting paid for his art, but nothing more ever came of it. Both Maximon and Harikarn have since ramped up production again - with some of the same actors - so I'm not especially concerned for the moment.

Well.Thailand recently annouced a bunch of new BLs and then promptly went bancrupt. One of their former producers immediately picked up the slack and founded EntSync in order to take over all projects and talent. They've already held the blessing ceremony for Black Forest and everything seems to be back to normal for the moment except for Born to be Y the series which should have aired this month but has since been indefinitely postponed.

Fix Entertainment is behind The Whisperer and is holding the series' final episode hostage because apparently a planned fanmeeting didn't sell enough tickets so they seem to have run out of funds. This is very ?? ???

Studio on Fire recently announced that one of the leads of their upcoming series Live in Love will be replaced, citing creative differences and "different work attitudes" (hate that phrase yet?) as the reason. Weirdly enough, said lead (Non Ratchanon) is from another company and was part of an acting pair with their own actor Hearth Chindanai. Hmmmmmm.*

*This kind of reminds me of what happened with Saint Suppapong during and after Love By Chance when he was basically almost bullied out of the industry because he wasn't with the same company as all of the other actors.

As I said, there's probably more but I didn't include actor scandals, unfounded rumours or stuff that has already been resolved.

#ask #bl industry #jane watches stuff #you guys pls feel free to add more examples #i didn't include jinloe because as weird as we think it is to cast a minor opposite an adult in a mature bl #it's neither illegal nor exploitative by default #i also didn't include what happened during love by chance and after why r u because this was purely due to inappropriate management #and what happened with goldeneyesview recently is actually incredibly sad and i urge you to support love syndrome the beginning

Anyone who has seen how russia treats its prisoners isn't shocked at the treatment of the terror attack suspects. It's is a common pattern: torture someone then film their "confession". Similar things are done to Russian political prisoners, foreign nationals, Ukrainian prisoners of war, Ukrainian civilians..... with other variations, sometimes not filmed, sometimes even worse torture, sometimes sexual violence...

#speculation nation #shes a druid but she does Not look it. nor does she act like it really.#druid stuff exists to beef myself up as a front liner (spores druid ftw)#and to act as an excuse like 'whaaaat why r u so suspicious of me im a druid 🥺🥺🥺 i just want what's best for nature 🥺🥺🥺'#meanwhile here i am hogging ALL the worms we manage to find (or. well. most of them.)#bc im going full ham into my powers lol theyre so useful #this is a game of pressing Every button and seeing what happens. yet still going along the lines of good? approximately?#it very much does feel like the kind of thing a druid drow would do. willing to consort with the darkness #but still ultimately striving for peace and order.#i am just perhaps a little bug-brained to accomplish this :3 #ive been playing a Lot of bg3. progressing well through act 2. everything is so very scary and i am just 1 druid 🥺#(i say as if i havent killed literally every single enemy ive come across. im so fucking good at this game.)#the house of healing was by far my least favorite part (so far). that boss battle was TERRIBLE but i managed to get through it.#according to my friends they just talked their way out of it. not me tho. i saw that guy strapped to the table and i was just like #'GET FUCKED BRO' *casts moonbeam* *proceeds to get the shit stabbed outta me*#holy shit he did so much damage. and he was focused ONLY ON ME.......#took me and shadowheart both healing to keep up with the damage he was doing (while astarion and karlach did most of the attacking)#but i did it! hes gone! but holy shit poking around his stuff has been so. eugh.#im in the towers now. so scary. just barely started them tho. gonna look for the prisoners and then proceed from there.#that ketheric dude is fucking terrifying. so big scared about him. but All Men Die The Same 😈#.....well maybe not exactly the same given his 'immortality' thing 😂 but i'll figure it out.#anyways yea check out taltana im going for a mixed feminine and masculine kinda vibes with her. and enjoying it very much.#bg3 spoilers/

Remaking the HIStory Franchise

For @heretherebedork who likes to challenge me (off the back of this post.) More fantasy remakes of BLs!

I took this as a double dare: Who would fix it? is my main challenge. Because MUCH of the HIStory franchise is in need of fixing. But also, who would make it worse? This time, I took Taiwan out of the remake running (this is their franchise) but I got to put Korea in! He he, that means I have WATCHA to play with. This’ll be fun.

HIStory My Hero

Who gets it? Korea’s Hwang Da Seul

Body swap, friends to lovers, university set, soft, sweet low heat. No side dishes. No triggers. But then the original is also not quite BL and not particularly romantic. Girl dies and her consciousness transfers into in the body of the boy who (maybe) had a crush on her boyfriend. She has a week to make her old boyfriend fall in love with her new body. I'm not a fan of body swap but I think I want Korea to try it on for size. I’d hand this one off to Hwang Da Seul partly because she picks really GOOD actors, and that’s required for body swap to work. I don’t feel she has to reuse a pair for it, though, and I’d be fine if she wanted to age up the characters.

Who’d fuck it up? GMMTV, they flipping can’t handle body swap, I wish they’d stop trying.

HIStory Stay Away From Me

Who gets it? 02 Productions in Vietnam

University nerd's dad marries actor idol's mom and moves the now stepbrothers in with each other. It's a cohabitation romance with the stepbrothers trope on a classic popular/nerd, sunshine/tsundere pairing. It’s a perfect vehicle for Vietnam. They would add more and better kisses for a superior ending, plus good domesticity, and give it a bit more length. Bah Vinh hasn’t played an idol character yet (right?) and I think he would be VERY good in that roll.

Who’d fuck it up? Japan. I don’t know why they can’t handle celebrity romances but they REALLY can’t (see Given & Love Stage).

HIStory Obsessed

Who gets it? The MoD Triage people in Thailand

Uke obsessed with seme to the point of losing himself and his identity dies after being rejected, and then has a chance to reboot his life. He decides to save himself by never falling in love. But destiny is a bitch, and this time the seme becomes obsessed with him. I think mad good things could be done with this story line if it were extended out bu Thailand. It’s fun and complex. So I’m giving it to Thailand’s premier fun and complex peeps. Go forth and multiply!

Who’d mess it up the most? Cheewin and COPY definitely. I shudder to think.

HIStory 2: Right or Wrong

Who gets it? Japan, the studio who did Old Fashion Cupcake

It's a teacher/student power dynamic, tsundere/sunshine pairing, plus cohabitation with themes of self acceptance and family domesticity. It's a slow burn but high heat (and that heat is good). The uke is out gay, the seme is unapologetically bi. Japan already loves a teacher student age gap pairing and this is right in their wheelhouse. They won’t shy away from the implications and I want them to confront their own social issues and restrictions with regards to gay marriage... which they would. I like the original, but I think this would be a whole lot better, actually.

Who’d mess it up the most? Korea probubly, they can’t handle questionable content dynamics, they get to scared, teacher/student + gay would probubly break them. Although there is a part of me that wants to see them try... and squirm.

HIStory 2: Crossing the Line

Who gets it? WATCHA in Korea

This is sports romance (volleyball) with a good boy/bad boy pairing is my favorite of the franchise. There no clear seme/uke. There's great kisses but it's medium heat. The side dishes are the stepbrother trope but they’re very tame, and there’s no other triggers in this BL. I have to give it to the studio that doesn’t fuck up, WATCHA.

Who’d mess this one up the most? Easy, MAME.

HIStory 3: Make Our Days Count

AKA HIStory 3 The BL That Shall Not Be Named

Who gets it? It has to go to GMMTV.

I say that knowing the best thing about the original was the authenticity of the heat levels, so it should go to Cheewin or MAME, BUT they’d fuck up the characters, so... GMMTV gets it. Purely on the grounds that they would fix that ending. (They don’t do sad BL.) Also they have a deep actor pool to pull from for the cast, I’d like Aof to direct so it retains its depth. It doesn’t have to be high school, I’d bump this one up to university and hand it off to a really seasoned team. Also I think the seme character MUST stay himbo, so EathMix can’t take on this show. It’s gotta go to someone who can do physical and emotional comedy, that’s why I chose Tay. Could he be opposite Gun for this? That’d be fun. I’ve always wanted them to play off each other.

Who’d mess this one up the most? Obviously Wabi Sabi, they keep creating sad things these days, they’d just dwell in that stupid ending forever.

HIStory 3: Trapped

Who gets it? Japan’s Life: Love on the Line team.

Look, I have been wanting a yakuza BL from Japan forever. I dithered in a BIG way on this one. Despite the mafia theme, there are actually very few triggers and it's full consent and quite sweet for how much they throw in sexy. Lots of little domestic moments too. The ending needs to be resolved though and it needs higher production values but from someone who will not fart around too much with the story. I thought long and hard about Korea, but Strongberry already tried and I just don’t think they are ready.

Who’d fuck it up? Most of Thailand, frankly. It’s a marker of my mistrust these days that I couldn’t face handing this one off to Wabi Sabi. Once upon a time I might have. Vietnam definitely can’t do the production levels required.

HIStory 4: Close to You

Who gets it? Cheewin and COPY A BANGKOK

There’s nothing wrong with the leads in this office set romance, but the side couple are stepbrothers as a grumpy/sunshine pairing, including obsession, dubious consent that went to the dark side. They need correcting and Cheewin has been really trying to correct for queer rep lately, so you know what? Let’s see what COPY could do with a proper office set romance. I mean Cheewin did do Why R U? and Cutie Pie there’s hope.

Who’d fuck it up? Star Hunter, can you imagine?

The people that have abandoned me really need to stop talking to me like they have any right to tell me what to do, or I swear to God, I'm gonna get the FUCKING hammer.

#inspired by my bitch of a mother sending me a text that basically said u need to get ur life together #as i always say! LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE!#this woman's life is a dumpster fire #and she specifically said 'i won't financially support u. i'll always be there for u but that's a conditional statement'#which is INSANE because that don't make no sense AND she has NEVER financially supported me? genuinely why does she think she has any #fucking right...😭😭😭#meanwhile. my dad. during the shitstorm that has been my family's existence lately. is being way more lax about me getting a job and moving #out than he has been in the past. because some fucks despite being shitheads aren't total assholes #this post is also inspired by my insufferable sister who fucked off to another fucking continent when i was 7 and treats me...well. exactly #how u would expect an upper middle class dumb jock to treat her awesome nerd little brother. and is always telling me i'm making #the wrong fucking decisions and judging me.#these ppl r so funny bc they think this is normal and that i will endure it bc the power of love or what the fuck ever. wrong! i have been #on the brink of cutting off my entire family since i was fourteen. now that i actually have the power to do some cutting off i'll be honest #i feel pretty great #it is all of course a horrible nightmare and i wish things were different etc etc etc. but in the words of supernatural. i was always going #to end up here.#while i am thinking about such things what's my other sister's deal? she has not reached out to me for years. it was like i turned 18 and #she was like ok who cares abt this dude now #which was incredibly bizarre and makes me feel like a stupid idiot who did something wrong but i know i didn't. and she was always the most #supportive of my siblings. i don't know what her problem is #in her defense her life has been weird lately. but 'lately' has lasted long enough that it's just her life now. and whenever i try to be th #one to reach out she basically gives me...nothing.#while i am thinking about such things i will acknowledge the slays. my one totally kickass sister who is the only other one of my siblings #who understands anything. i am rly grateful for her and she has been so good to me for so long especially during the recent shitstorm #she is moving very far away and that has brought up my abandonment issues but i genuinely am so happy for her and her family and she is ver #adamant about me visiting and PAYING for the visit (or at least doing the scamming that pays for the visit so i don't have to pay lol) and #making sure i'll be ok.#it's not all bad! i am going to be ok! there r so many people in my life who love me and love me in a way that makes sense to me and doesn'#make me feel like the world's worst man #personal log

black mirror going from casting relatively unknown british actors to renowned hollywood stars is one of my villian origin stories btw

#like i get netflix wanted to make it more international #but u couldve at least used less known american actors #like when i watched a black mirror episode i should be going they look kinda familiar oh yh thats that side character from minor tv show #not like. oh thats anthony macke. oh thats miley cyrus. oh thats cristina how i met ur mother girl. oh the main girl from schits creek.#idk why it just completely ruins the immersion for me #almost like a. u have become the thing u once mocked.#but also. ppl r gonna watch regardless of who u cast. might as well launch someones career.#bc im p sure thats what the early seasons did for some ppl like daniel and letitia idk

Hi! Why is it so hard to fancast Remus? Is it because he is just some guy and most fancasts are famous people? Anyway I would like to put fort Levan Gelbakhiani and also recommend the film “And then we danced” cause its beautiful!!!

hey!! for me personally its hard because i can't imagine clear faces when reading/writing--i can imagine facial features, but i can't picture them all on one cohesive face (and the features i do imagine are sort of sketchy/cartoonish rather than that realistic), so its like trying to match a real person to a vague blur of an image in my mind that is incredibly specific but also v hard to pin down. i rambled in the next bit a little so i'll put it under the cut xox

more generally, the reason i find most of the common ones so terrible is because they're usually brown-haired extra conventionally attractive celebrities who are either models or looks like models. and i do not think he was an especially conventionally attractive guy at all i think he looked like a normal guy. in fact i think he was kind of ugly. i don't care that much about canon but sirius is specifically referred to as handsome, where remus isnt, ever, so i just don't really understand where it comes from. i also feel like a lot of these fancasts that are sooo desperate to make every character ridiculously hot as if otherwise they are not convincing love interests / interesting or redeemable characters / of any value as elements of a narrative (as if any deviation from the beauty standard is a sin that renders a literal fictional character unworthy of any further discussion) are just kinda fucking weird lol. idk why average looking people are so frightening to read or write about to some people but yeah :-/ soooo sorry anon to hijack your ask to go off on a tangent like that i know its really not that deep!! i've just massively overthought my answers to your questions xx

in reference to gelbakhiani--i KNEW i recognised that name and i realise now i think another anon way back mentioned him!! he's not QUITE perfect for me but i remember him being a pleasant surprise when i googled him the first time and he was a pleasant surprise this time too xx you understand the assignment!! im not mad about it!! in terms of the individual features i dont have many personal criticisms at all!! ++ also also thank you for the rec!! <3

#sounds dumb but soon as u show me ur garfield/laughton scott/claflin r fancast i hav to disregard any future thoughts #u have on his character like. you dont know him you dont get him youve just proven that to the class. i literally made him up #u gotta make up ur mind was r bitchless or not. because if he was bitchless u cant tell me he looked like andrew garfield. do u get that!#'he was this shy sort of plain bookworm and only sirius saw how attractive he really was :-( also he looked like this model i saw in this #calvin klein shoot :-(' do you hear yourself #extra points when they're referring to these characters as teens. 'this twenty-seven year old man with a six pack is s when he's 16' is he.#also this is just me but i dont want to read about a cast of people who are all unbearably unrealistically hot. like all this aside it #just doesnt interest me. im just bored sry. also u dont have 2 b physically conventionally attractive 2 b hot anyway. its a state of mind #long and short of it is i just think if characters + their relationships w each other + their romantic connections are only interesting or #convincing to you if they're both the definition of the beauty standard...are those characters really that interesting. are they really #that well written. are they really that developed. hm #like its fine if they're not!! but we can admit that they're not.#SO SORRY once again for the long answer anon xx did not mean to hijack your ask like that xx mwah xx #anon #telegram #final psa this is just my opinion !! u are free to do as you please this is just my explanation for why *i* do what i do xx

born in the wrong generation I was meant to be around in 1750 when everyone called girls handsome

#born to cast my eyes on a handsome girl forced to live in an age of extreme compulsory femininity-_-#dgmw things have been way worse for women in the past but the specific era has got to be like #the most collectively uncomfortable with women's natural state etc and it's so fucked up to witness #like this is why I love classic divas bc they r so stunning and striking but like they look like real people u would see on thr Street #gigi hadid or whatever seems like U could bite into her and it'd taste like soap
