Isn't it difficult enough to be born poor? And now you're gay?

Rules: Fantasize about mixing up the actors in different combinations than we are used to seeing and add little plotlines if you wish

Dunk and Phuwin:

This pairing is inspired by their work in the series Summer Night where they played friends, but I always felt like it would have been fun seeing them playing as a couple. I would want Dunk to play a character that is a cross between his character's interpretation of Style in The Heart Killer and his character's interpretation of White in Summer Nights. Someone who appears confident, perhaps a little bratty and who wears his heart on the sleeves. As for Phuwin I would want to see him play a morally grey character who lost any hope in others, to be proven wrong by Dunk's character. I would place them in a political thriller story of deceit, power and family dysfunction.

Aye and Jamie:

I've been a real fan of this impossible pairing. Call me crazy, but I think they would be amazing together. Jamie's character has lost everything: her family's business, her house and any prospects. She doesn't know how to keep afloat. At a university reunion, she reunited with friends from college who wants to help her. They say they work for an association that helps people find their way. Jamie's character would see it as a sign that things would get better. She is introduced to people in the association and their work. However, she doesn't know that the association is just a cover for a sect that uses people's despair to their own benefits. In the association, she would meet Aye's character. A cold woman who seems to never speak, but who was raised in the sect (her parents would be very close to the sect's leader) and dreams of escaping this hell. She would immediately feel attracted to her. Drawn by her attraction to her, Jamie's character would slowly uncovers all the secrets of the association. Together they would bring down the sect and escape to finally live freely their love.

Mix and Khaotung:

It's a vision I never stopped having since 1000 Stars. I think it would be interesting to see them as a couple. I envision a Ruritanian romance for them. Mix's character would come a noble family in debt that only live on the vestige of their past glory. As for Khaotung's character, he would come from a newly wealthy family that made their fortune in trade. A series of events involving conspiracy would lead them to get married. Mix's character was promised to the heir of the throne who was his childhood sweetheart and he would at first be resentful, but would eventually learn to love Khaotung's character. He ignores that Khaotung's character has been working in secret to overthrow the despotic royal family who has been abusing their power through the heir's schemes.

Jingjing and Kapook:

It was a night like every other. Jingjing's character is a surgeon who had just finished her duty and is ready to go back home. Unfortunately, a last patient was brought to the OR. It's someone important and was even followed with his own protection service in which Kapook is working for. This person has been infected with a dangerous and uncontrollable pathogen and they don't even have time to operate on him. So fast, everything seems to worsen and the newly infected people take control on the hospital. They are neither zombies nor monsters. They look like everybody, but they feed on humans and seems to be looking for something... or someone. The survivors has to find a way to escape this place if they want to see another day. Jingjing and Kapook's characters would team up to save people. In the middle of this new dangerous life, they would learn to trust each other and it would slowly evolved into something more. Will they survive?

Poon and JJ:

JJ's character is one of the best professional gamer of his generation. One day, he wakes up in the latest game hit. To be able to find his way back to his life, he must win the game. Unfortunately, he starts at level 1 and will have to undergo a series of quests to bring his stats to the max and to be able to fight the final boss. Along the way, he is going to meet other players stuck in the game. No one knows why they are there, but everyone wants to get away. It's not easy to recognize who is a player or who is a simple NPC. Poon's character appears to be a simple NPC (but he has secrets) that helps the hero find his way back, but the more JJ's character plays along him, the more he develops feelings. Will he ever want to leave the game?

Earn and June:

Their characters would be inspiring idols who participates in the same reality show to create the next girl band. Between the rehearsals and shows, they would learn to know each other and fall in love. Is a love made in front of the camera able to survive? In the end, Earn's character isn't chosen while June's character join the newly made girl bands. After this event, they never see each other again and Earn's character would feel resentful. Unable to become an idol, she starts a new career path and becomes and actress. A few years after, they are both reunited: they will both play in a GL stories as a main lead. The production wants to capitalize on their past, but will they be able to portray romance well when Earn's character still feels betrayed and June's character has been heartbroken because she could never have explained the truth to the one she loves. They will learn to trust each other again and rekindle while pretending to play different people, navigating new stardom as a pairing and fan service. What is real and what isn't?

Papang and Title:

Papang would play the leader of a well-known criminal organization in Thailand. Countless people are trying to bring him down, but he always manages to win against them. The underworld world is divided between four groups and all of them wished they were the one ruling the country. They always tries to outsmart the others, but live behind a code of honor and invisible borders. It's already a lot of job to protect their own "kingdoms", but Papang's character has another obsession: playing cat and mouth with the journalist that has been trying to expose his shady businesses. At first, he was just annoying, but before he could realize it, he has wanted to possess him. Title would be playing this journalist who will have to choose between his job's integrity and whatever is happening between him and the mafia's leader. He could deny it, but he is as freaky as the one who is pursing him. It would be a dark story where the lines between good and bad would be blurred.

Tu and Prim:

Set in a period drama around the middle of the 20's century, Tu's character is a high-society lady that everyone and her family is trying to find a good match for her. Prim's character is also from a very wealthy family that has always been friends with the family of Tu's character. In fact, the brother of Prim's character has been married to the older sister of Tu's character. Prim's character is a businesswoman who owns a department store. Women aren't really working in this field and she has to fight to be taken seriously. Her brother asks her if she knows any suitable partner for Tu's character and she ends up trying to find a husband for Tu's character. Little they know that Tu's character doesn't want a husband because she has always had a crush on Prim's character and will do everything to make it happen while competing with other people who also have set their eyes on the businesswoman.

I’m tagging @littleblackraincloudofcourse, @outofthemouthsof, @benkaben, @slonekaru, @delesaria-blog and @mikuni14

Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood and Viggo Mortensen all taking the piss out of Orlando Bloom for going on about a cracked rib too much, while Orlando Bloom desperately tries to wriggle out of talking about it (special mention to Elijah Wood’s “oh it hurts, babes, and I can’t ride the horse, babes” and Viggo Mortensen’s “they can be very fragile, elves, especially the…Mirkwood strain…”)

Ian McKellen commenting that “they never did find any suitable underwear for Gandalf…”

Dominic Monaghan going on and on about how Viggo Mortensen apparently had a crush on one of the Rohirrim extras (who like a lot of the Rohirrim extras was a woman in a fake beard) while Vigoo Mortensen just mutters “one could perhaps say something about Mr. Monaghan’s…proclivities…”

Dominic Monaghan’s imitation of John Rhys-Davies ordering food at a restaurant for the whole cast. “You have partridge? BRING THE PARTRIDGE!”

John Rhys-Davies talking about an incident with the Lothlorian boats and saying “if an elf and a dwarf are in a boat…and…the boat goes under…let us say that the blame was not placed on the elf” while Orlando Bloom splutters “he’s a big guy, man!” 

Elijah Wood talking about how the hobbit actors shared a trailer with Ian McKellen and sometimes they would hear inarticulate bellows of protest from his side when they played loud music in the mornings

Viggo Mortensen talking about how, while filming with those same boats, Kirin Shaw (Elijah Wood’s scale double) started telling him “if the boat tips over…save yourself…I can’t swim.” 

Elijah Wood describing how Sean Astin would try to direct the helicopters to land while they were on location, while the other three hobbits were screwing around and throwing pinecones at each other

Christopher Lee recounting how he had so much trouble going up some steps in Orthanc with his long robe that he stopped in the middle of the scene and said, “I cannot get up these goddamn steps, Peter.” 

Tell me a story, Karl. What's your alternate ending? What would happen if we didn't have to be afraid?

I know there are other posts around this hellsite of how to do this, but because @khaotunq made this amazing post, I wanted to remind some of you of how to include a GIF that credits the original post/creator even if the GIF does not appear in the GIF options.

Option #1:

Step #1 - If you know which GIF you want to use, find the post it's from, and click the three little dots to bring up the menu. Click "Copy Link"

Now, in your own post, click the "GIF" button

Step #2 - When the next box appears, paste the link you just copied in it.

Step #3 - The GIF should appear, so click it, and it will insert the GIF with credit to the original post and creator.

HOWEVER, it will only insert the first GIF in the post, so if you want a different GIF in the post, you have to make a small change.

Option #2:

Step #1 - Do everything in Option #1. EVERYTHING! Now, once you have inserted the GIF into your post, it will be the first GIF in the original post as stated in Option #1.

Step #2 - Click the wheel at the top of your post

Step #3 - Once you do that a menu box will appear, and where it says "Text Editor," switch from "Rich text" to "HTML"

Step #4 - It might look scary now, but have no fear! Hit "Ctrl +F" to find what you need! Type "attribution" and it will locate the GIF for you.

Step #5 - After "attribution" is the GIF's link that you copied earlier in quotes. Look for it!

Step #6 - Now, in another window, go back to the original post with all the GIFs and find the GIF you want. Once you see it, right-click on the GIF, and when the menu pops up, select "Copy Image Link"

Step #7 - You will paste that new link into your post in the same spot the other link was within the quotes. In other words, replace the highlighted yellow part with the new link.

Step #8 - Click the little wheel at the top again and select "Rich text" to switch back to your normal viewing mode.

The new GIF will appear!

It seems overwhelming, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy peasy. And if you think this process is too time-consuming, remember that this is nothing compared to how much work GIF makers put into creating these GIFs for us.
