First watch: 23.5, episode 8
Umm, did they cut the English subtitle budget? There were two really bad boners in part 2. I knew what they meant but ouch. But parts 1, 3 and 4 were fine, so maybe just a hiccup.
So Sun is a pushy uke?

Thinking about the Mock-Trailer for The Ex-Morning
Pathapi is said to be the Best Reporter of the Year in the beginning. How. I want to know his career accomplishments so badly? I need to know how he got here!
I’ve been considering why Pathapi acts the way he does in the beginning. Has he always been like, since his university days? Or was it perhaps heartbreak and the passage of time that’s made him more like this?
Aou is being made to play the exasperated best friend in Be My Favorite and the rival with coffee thrown on him in The Ex-Morning. Someone give both characters a raise. And a boyfriend!
I looooove the trope of the arrogant, whiny jerkass in a successful position who gets humbled. And that paired with him rebuilding his reputation with his ex-boyfriend of all people? I am so ready to see Pathapi’s character arc, and the things Tamtawan makes him do in this trailer makes me think he’ll get more in-tune with the spirit of good reporting and why it’s so important.
How does Tamtawan know and decide to come back? Obviously, he wants to help Pathapi and is still in love with him, but why did he leave? WHY DID HE LEAVE? Later in the trailer, when present-day Tamtawan leaves, it’s after he’s told “Tam. You have two options now.” What are the two options? The way Tamtawan leaves and the look on his face makes him look regretful, but what exactly is motivating him trying to leave here? Why did he leave in the first place? Does Pathapi know? His face looks half confused rather than just heartbroken!
What has Tamtawan been up to? I am intrigued.
The SOTUS reference in their university days flashback? I am obsessed. They were so sweet in that one frame, it makes me wonder how they fell in love. How different were they? How much of the same remains in them? How did they fall in love? Oh my god!
The transition from Pathapi being awkward with shirtless only-clothed-in-a-towel Tamtawan to taking his own shirt off and asking if Tamtawan has an ulterior motive to fluster him is hilarious to me. I love how forward Pathapi is here! And Tamtawan getting flustered is amazing. Oh my god, I love this trailer. It balances a comedic tone, angst, tension, etc all in one show. Can’t help but adore it.
“You’re still the same selfish jerk.” I need to know what happened! I said this above and I’m saying it again. I am intrigued.
Uni Tamtawan pulling Pathapi by his tie? I am obsessed.
The umbrella scene is both so very P’Lit and so very much a SOTUS reference, it delights me. I wonder how many SOTUS references we’ll have in the show proper.
I wonder if the car accident will coincide with the climax of the show.
That! Last! Scene! I suppose this is a scene when they’re hooking up but not properly together, seeing as they’re flirting, shirtless, and probably just had sex, but still won’t admit they still like each other. This sounds great to me.
I’ve mostly not talked about the meta elements here, because I feel it’s less about the contents of the actual trailer and more about the nature of the series as such a KristSingto RPF-type plot. Anyway, I love it. Everything about the meta of this series is perfect to me, and exactly what I wanted. This show is SO fun to think about when you know about the lore of KristSingto in real life. I’m half expecting Tamtawan to have hazed Pathapi at this point!
Side note that is not a side note: I LOVE THEIR ACTING! I love their characters!
Is this vers? I’m going to say it’s vers or Top Krist until proven wrong, because that last scene? Well. Let’s put the KristSingto into the KristSingto.
I love the small cast and the focus on KristSingto! I just need to say this. I am so excited for this comeback, in-part because it really is just Tamtawan and Pathapi’s story.
Tamtawan is supposed to mean “follow” and “sun” whereas Pathapi means earth/soil/ground. Coming off of KongArt, where Arthit is obviously “sun,” and KristSingto, who compare themselves to the sun and moon, this seems so definitely meaningful. Aof and Lit, I need to know what you’re cooking!
The coals scene is sooooo perfect, both for the characters AND KristSingto themselves. Again bringing it back to the meta of it all, but, oh my god? This is perfect? Aof wrote a screenplay that was KristSingto RPF? On that note, I keep thinking about the idea of KristSingto channeling their feelings from the irl work-partner “break up” and it makes me go a little crazy. Especially with Krist talking about all his efforts to bring Singto back, and how he over-thought it when Singto left. And even more so seeing as they say they’re basically playing themselves.
The lyrics of the song used in the trailer are so fitting, I am now looping it and thinking about Pathapi and Tamtawan forever and ever.
I noticed that Tamtawan goes by “Tam” but did I miss it for Pathapi in the trailer, or do we get no indication of his nickname? I’m curious.
The “Begin Again” for the new Peraya Party speaks to both KristSingto and their new characters, and this is again making me go, oh god it’s true they’re just playing themselves.
I said my ideal KristSingto BL was a vers exes-to-lovers that parallels reality. Evidently, I was not alone.
Is it just me, or do the Pathapi + animals and Pathapi + soil degradation water scenes feel a lot like certain episodes of Friendship with KristSingto? Just me? Maybe it’s just Krist. I love him so dearly.
So much is revealed in this trailer, but that somehow makes me more intrigued about what is not being revealed to us?
Krist still goes for the top lip and Singto still goes for the bottom lip when they kiss. This kills me every time. I am so excited to see lovey-dovey Tamtawan and Pathapi!

I have been reading lots of opinion posts about the gmmtv 2024 announcement and all I have to say is that I'm so glad that the offering is as diverse as it is because every post that I've read has ranked the shows differently have widely different opinions, and none are the same as me. I think this shows how spoiled for choice we are. (except for those who aren't excited about any of the shows... Sorry I guess lol)

After watching the trailers
Wanna see wanna see:
Ex-Morning (love Singto, have warmed to Krist after Be Me Favorite, love the meta, speaking as someone who dropped SOTUS after one or two episodes)
The Heart Killers (crime and humor)
Leap Day (love supernatural, love most of Gun's work)
Revamp (love supernatural as a QL plotline)
Leaning toward:
ThamePo (leaning toward seeing it but not quite excited either)
Us (also leaning toward, also want to support GLs as a genre, worried it will be too angsty, then again it's Fon and I loved 10 Years Ticket, which was also quite angsty, and looking forward to a meatier role for Sing)
Maybe:
The Dark Dice (not that into high school, but love supernatural and, like others, I immediately thought Battle Royale, which I enjoyed)
Friendshit Forever (hmmm)
Hide & Sis (creepy, maybe a supernatural or a Vertigo switcheroo, or…)
Naw (didn't even watch the trailer):
Ossan's Love (storyline doesn't attract me, wasn't interested in the original either)
Perfect 10 Liner (I'm not interested in another engineering students story unless there's an interesting twist)
Whatever that dentist thing was called
Insufficient data:
Scarlet Heart of Thailand (that wasn't a preview, but it's Fon)

Normally I don’t pay too much attention to GMMtv’s het stuff, but I gotta admit Leap Day looks really interesting. I love Gun playing someone who’s neurodivergent and Pond being his bestie/brother(?). That one looks like it has both an interesting concept as well as great acting power in it with Gun, Pond and Dew.
The Dark Dice looks interesting as well, looks like it took a lot of inspiration from South Korean and Japanese series like Squid Game, Re:Mind and Battle Royal. Not to mention western movies like Cube and Escape Room. Which I think is good, the concept of forcing people to fight one another for their lives, especially children is not a new thing but it still is a chilling thing to watch. I think Gemini is really going to shine in this, he already looked amazing in the trailer, finally allowing his acting chops to shine in a more dark and gritty series is going to be interesting to watch.
Those two I’m definitely going to check out, I think they have great potential.

The Ex-Morning really feels like they found someone's KristSingto fanfic, showed it to them and went 'what do you think?' and then made a show.

Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised.
Every year, researchers try to predict the four influenza strains that are most likely to be prevalent during the upcoming flu season. And every year, people line up to get their updated vaccine, hoping the researchers formulated the shot correctly.
The same is true of COVID vaccines, which have been reformulated to target sub-variants of the most prevalent strains circulating in the U.S.
This new strategy would eliminate the need to create all these different shots, because it targets a part of the viral genome that is common to all strains of a virus. The vaccine, how it works, and a demonstration of its efficacy in mice is described in a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“What I want to emphasize about this vaccine strategy is that it is broad,” said UCR virologist and paper author Rong Hai. “It is broadly applicable to any number of viruses, broadly effective against any variant of a virus, and safe for a broad spectrum of people. This could be the universal vaccine that we have been looking for.”

I was tagged by the lovely @pose4photoml thanks dahlink!
Things I collect meme?
I'm like the WORST person for this because I actually don't collect any objects since I'm pretty itinerant. I have a base of ops, but I can fit everything I own into the back of a pickup and I like it that way.
But I am a bit of a digital hoarder so here we go:
Things I Collect
BL screen shots
Tumblr friends
BL shows that I've rated 8/10 or higher + some other more obscure BLs that I like rewatching but aren't on streaming services (I have a portable backup drive that is actually just full of shows)
Currently, shit off Netflix (I'm about to close my account)
Deeply held opinions about inconsequential trashy media
Digital books, both fiction and non-fiction, that I never read
Travel size items, packing cubes and bags, the perfect small containers for exactly the right amount of everything
Similarly: Travel hacks
Podcasts about the most obscure shit ever, and also economics and data science
Failed romantic relationships
YouTube channels featuring cafes all over the world
YouTube shows about interior decorating, it's an alien world that interests me strangely. When I finally do settle down, my lighting and counter-top game will be epic
Fortunately for me: clients
Unfortunately for me: Apps on my phone (WHY SO MANY?)

one of the cooler parts of growing up is realizing that you were being incessantly lied to throughout highschool and that fat gay people are not only capable of being desired, but are actively and often voraciously lusted after

It's ok to want money. It's ok to be upset that you're poor and wishing to be rich. I understand. People who say that money doesn't buy happiness have never eaten pasta every day because it's 50 cents at the grocery store or been short on money for christmas presents. Constantly scraping by makes people miserable and depressed and of course you're gonna dream about money, about being happy and priviledged. That's not greedy or horrible, that's life. It's ok.

First watch: 23.5, episodes 5-7
I haven't been holding up to my pledge to take part in the 23.5 discussion, but I have been holding up to my pledge to actually watch it (and I've been clicking the like button on YouTube as well).
It's a rough go for me. It's not just that it's set in high school with high school behaviors, it's that I identify with Ongsa's social disfluency so much. So I'll have to step away mid-episode, occasionally mid-segment and go do something else, surf something else, just to get away from it and decompress.
Enough of the meta. On to some specific comments.
We really loose out that the subtitlers subtitle both fan dii (sweet dreams) and whatever the other phrase is (basically good night) because if you don't know about fan dii, you miss when Sun switches to it with Ongsa from the other good night phrase.
Nice to know that Ton is not an oblivious jerk. Whether he can be considered a jerk for setting Sun up to share her feelings is another matter. He's manipulative, but with positive intent.
Anyway, confessions taken care of, we have 5 more episodes for complications and of course, nervously waiting for the episode 11 curse.

Great analysis, thank you. That said, Ongsa was doing so much apologizing that Sun got sick of it. And Sun did blow up and jump to conclusions (that Ongsa was making a joke of Sun). I'm guessing it's the idea of not letting clashes go on too long.
But, yeah, a lecture from Sun would have totally been in order here.
I am writing this because I want 23.5 to be MAGNIFICENT, and it's a Fon Kanittha show, so there's a HELL OF A SLOW BURN that I am and was expecting (!), but I just need to process the reveal of the catfishing for a second, ha:
1) Sun contextualizing that she was catfished by Ongsa with the flashbacks makes sense; she is remembering how gentle and attentive and flirtatious Ongsa was and can be, and I was RELIEVED to see Sun come to the conclusion that Ongsa is a friend and potential lover that's worth investing in and fighting for,
2) And it's a GMMTV GL, so yes, we are expecting Sun to have some kind of a queer revelation in her processing of everything that's happening, so maybe I'm projecting here (?), but
3) I think it could have been okay to see Sun more pissed off, as well?
The show's main narrator and nucleus is Ongsa -- so we see Ongsa's pain, and we KNOW what Ongsa's pain is, because her assumption is that Sun likes guys, because Sun was reacting so positively to Earth.
Verbally, we got all the explanation that we needed to understand everyone's side of this: we know the depth of Ongsa's pain, very much, and I believed every minute of it, especially for a young woman of her age who is living in a modern era of acceptance while still dealing with the social majority of heterosexuality around her. The pain of her assumption that Sun only likes guys makes 100% sense.
Maybe what I could have used (in my own owned humble opinion) is Sun acknowledging a sense of reaction to the actual catfishing during that park scene, because I think catfishing's a big deal on its own, no? Or maybe not, and the young folks are more used to it, and I'm an old crab. I dunno! I think I likely would have been like, "girl, YES, let's try this friendship thing again, and yes, I'm going to start responding to your attraction, because why not, fuck yes let's go, but also, GIRL, maybe catfishing's not the best way to process an attraction, let's not do THAT again"?? Maybe my mom side is coming out, WHO KNOWS.
Is it a thing of where I think Ongsa was let off a little too easy? Actually, maybe, yes, ha. Because I think again -- the depth of her pain was explained excellently and authentically, and at the same time, I myself am a big accountability person, and I think I would have liked to see Ongsa herself say something like, "THAT part, the catfishing part, that was bad news bears, sorry my boo-boo."
Maybe this simply doesn't matter in GMMTV's first GL, and we just needed to MOVE ON beyond Ongsa's cycle of disaster, but a couple of words to close out how dumb the catfishing was, as a singular action, would have helped me to feel like that bit was fully closed.

And that almost nobody makes phone calls any more
one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method
