Heyaa!! How are you doing? Hope you have a great day! :) Your blog has become my go to place ever since Heart Killers began crushing my heart with every episode! For the anon who asked about a BL/GL show the other day, might I suggest "Wedding Plan"? :) It's not gmmtv and the couples arent totally equal in screen time, but it's nevertheless a very cute series with lots of the wlw/mlm solidarity we all crave more of :D
Yes, I love Wedding Plan and would recommend it even for people who don’t usually like MAME’s stuff because it was very tame for her. Like you said, the screen time is still wildly disproportionate but in general, it provides what I’m looking for: shows where both the BL and GL storylines are plot relevant and hold equal importance. Wedding Plan’s probably the closest to that we’ve gotten so far and the mlm/wlw solidarity is top tier.
Ironically, I think GMMTV is best suited for this type of combined BL/GL show because they have tons of actresses on staff just itching for more screen time, but the one time they tried, they got dragged for it so I don’t think they’re liable to try again any time soon.
But thank you for the recommendation! Everyone go watch Wedding Plan!

not an apologizer but a contextualizer. yes the character did that but please understand the Circumstance. yes they had other options but they had to make this choice in a sea of available bad choices. and also it made the narrative more interesting. won't anybody think about the narrative!!!!!

90s/00s queer rom coms I heart
In this post, I said I could probably make a separate list of 90s/00s queer rom coms, so here it is! These aren't just overlooked ones, but a celebration/recommendation of all the ones I've seen and enjoyed, so there will be a lot of familiar ones
Just the list without my rambles*:
*I'm too tired for rambles, today, and this has been sat in my drafts for ages! If anyone wants my thoughts on any particular film, I'm happy to give them. I'll add a couple of notes on some of them, though
The Wedding Banquet, 1993
Go Fish, 1994
Jeffrey, 1995
Trick, 1999
But I'm a Cheerleader, 1999
Latter Days**, 2003
D.E.B.S., 2004
Straight-Jacket, 2004***
Touch of Pink, 2004
Saving Face, 2004
Männer wie Wir, 2004
Imagine Me & You, 2005
Were the World Mine, 2008
(These aren't all the 90s/00s queer rom coms I've seen, I just either didn't like or don't remember the others because I've been seeking out these films for the better part of 25 years. I remember liking Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss, but nothing about it. Also, just a note that I may be stretching the definition of rom-com a little with some of these. And that I don't remember a lot of them all that well, just that I liked them)
**this one has all the hallmarks of a rom-com but it does have a pretty distressing conversion therapy scene and a lot of homophobia. It's not the only one (But I'm a Cheerleader is right there) - in fact, most at least touch on homophobia and other heavy topics - but it's not handled in a humorous way. Tbh I'm not sure if this one should be on the list at all or not 🤔 this is why I don't make genre lists! I fret too much about definitions
***this movie is so soooooo good! It has TERRIBLE CGI but it's a rom-com about a closeted actor in the 1950s who is forced into a lavender marriage with a secretary who has no idea he's gay and his name is GUY STONE! Lmao (it's very heavily influenced by Rock Hudson) Maybe it goes without saying, but it's camp af
And shout out to Shelter and Big Eden that are maybe even more on the romantic drama side of things, but they have my whole heart and were/are so important to me
And now I'm going to work on the list of Australian queer films and a post about Marco Berger's films
Class Crush Crisis ep 3, scenes
“Is it gay to pitch a tent in your living room while having a Pit Babe movie night with your gay roommate?” — the search history for LeeIth in Class Crush Crisis probably
"Wait for me, okay?"
Trope: separated friends from childhood…but make it a metaphor for the way homophobia tears boys apart.

MATCH POINT รักนี้ต้องเสิร์ฟ (2026) dir. Chic Sakon Tiacharoen
Bonus:
Important Match Point question: why does Sun’s dad know Coach Kong? Why does he treat him so familiarly? Obviously Bay’s family knows him because Boat attended school with him. But why Sun’s? There seems to be an important missing piece in the midst of all this. And Imma speculate that it’s already being hinted at in a few ways.
Now that Bay had a full-ass smiley face light in his room, I’ll admit that I was wrong and y’all were right to compare this to Bad Buddy. The references are abundant. But there are also threads going back to Love of Siam I keep seeing. Christianity was not a thematic issue brought up in Bad Buddy (except for the initial separation happening during the Christmas pageant), but it’s more significant in Love of Siam, and in Match Point we’re high-fiving Jesus every episode. Thai BL’s biggest sticking point with Christianity across its BLs has been (surprisingly not homophobia but) about eternal life and accepting death (which, it seems to argue, has consequences that encourage homophobia). So who died?
Another element that’s pointing me to Love of Siam is the missing woman trope. In fact, Bad Buddy touches this possibility and then refuses it early on with Pran rescuing Pa from drowning in the first episode. Love of Siam, however, revolves around the grief of lost women, both a grandmother who passes but more significantly a daughter who goes missing while on a trip to Chiang Mai with friends. We already heard in passing that Sun’s mom has moved out of the country, which put my thoughts to the series own noted absence of women here. But I’m wondering if there’s maybe another missing woman. Did Sun have a sister the same age as Boat and Kong? That kind of loss could easily upend the relationship of neighbors and still be echoing down the years.
What I’m speculating based on very meager evidence is that, yes, BaySun are a reference to PatPran in Bad Buddy, but BoatKong are maybe also a reference to their predecessors, TongMew in Love of Siam. The latter pair could be reeling from loss and sudden ruptures and restrictions it bent their lives toward, while the former who were not so directly impacted by the initiating event are confusedly navigating a dynamic nevertheless shaped by it.
I’m almost always wrong when I make these kinds of predictions, but I wanted to put it out there and continue to place this show as part of very specific lineage in Thai BL
Edit: totally forgot about arm’s older brother character last week lol. y’all need to take my blogging license away sometimes 🤣. But still, the clinging to expectations stands, and I’m not throwing my dead sister theory out yet, and even if that doesn’t come to fruition, I’m guessing the departure of Sun’s mom was some kind of initiating event that checks the lost woman trope box.
God, please do not let the dad use the fact that Kong has a crush on Boat against those boys.
Because I think *this* is more than about med school.
So perhaps all that avoidance, too, isn't just about med school.

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.
