ooo do you have any favourite moments from that season? It was my favourite too

This is a moment I still think about often because it’s the most American thing that has ever happened on Thai television.

Reminder that MLM attraction is not the only way to be queer.

I mean Wu is a mainstream flagship GMMTV series with an important and CANON transgender character in its cast. While many GMMTV series cast the amazingly talented Godji Tachakorn, rarely do they ever let her flex her acting chops AND be canonically transgender at the same time. Do we realize how incredible that is!? That her past transition is both acknowledged by the text and treated as just another facet of life!! Does Fei’s existence not count as queer enough for SOME “fans”? Does transness not count for the queerness quota Gagaoolala should allegedly hold?

I just think SOME “fans” need to take a look in at themselves and recognize their ignorance—whether malicious in intent or not—when it comes to deciding what gets to be a queer series.

I think the whole “queer-baiting” discourse (while completely valid in some cases) has fried a lot of people’s perceptions of intention. GMMTV has proven themselves, for all of their faults, to be an incredibly queer friendly company in (most) respects, and if they and Wu’s team decide that it was queer enough for Gagaoolala, who are we to say that it’s not.

And, frankly, as an aroace person, I think that the queer-platonic relationship between Pete and Niran is made all the more beautiful by its lack of what many would consider “romance”. That is not to say that romantic actions are not beautiful—they are and should be celebrated—but so should other forms of queer love.

I will forever be thankful and happy that we’re at a place in thai QL that a decidedly queer-platonic but still just as passionate partnership like Pete and Niran (SkyNani too) get to exist AND thrive in this market.

I would like to thank the hairstylist, this is everything to me

His brothers and sisters refuse to help him. He happens to have a history with Sira. He does. He and Niran don’t mix well. You’ll see.
