I haven't thought to mention it yet, but I love the vers vibes in "Revamp." WinTeam are also vers-coded (more explicitly in the novel, but implied in the series as well), so I'm hoping this is a pattern that continues with BounPrem's future series.
Just, y'know. Considering how weird the industry, actors, and fandom all get about Who Tops and Who Bottoms, I'm just incredibly relieved that both pairs I follow aggressively don't care how they're perceived and subvert the Top/Bottom thing whenever and however they can.
As always, Top and Bottom in the real life queer world are very different concepts from Top and Bottom in the BL sphere. Like, to the point where I think we really should just use genre-specific terms. Because BL's Top and Bottom tend to just be traditional heteronormative gender roles forced into a fictional queer context, which is why the whole thing irritates so many living, breathing queer people including meeeeee~!
But to my delight, there's never been any of that insecure macho behavior from BounPrem either onscreen or off. Ramil and Punn are both balanced, nuanced characters with a well-rounded array of traits, and they're just…lovely to me.
Like in this scene. One second, Ramil's the composed one Punn's cuddled up against and the next, he's sulking and Punn's become the grownup.
From the two love scenes above, who tops and who bottoms is completely ambiguous. All we see is the foreplay (which is what KristSingto did in "The Ex-Morning"…although Pathapi's more obviously coded as the one who usually tops).
They're each other's comfort.
And they're both terrifying when they want to be!
I love them so much, and I'm so happy with this series on so many fronts.
