Which BL Couple do you want to see in a Sequel?
And not just a cameo or an Our Skyy 2-episode arc.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
HIStory 3: Trapped (2019, above) - I want to keep seeing how their relationship works as their morals clash.
Bad Buddy (2021) - I know we risk ruining a good thing and that we got the Our Skyy episodes, but I could watch more of these two as they learn to nurture their relationship in spite of the negativity surrounding them.
Not Me (2021) - There is SO much that can be done in this universe with these twin rebel characters. They should absolutely revive it as LGBTQIA legislation and police corruption evolves in Thailand.
Tumblr media
Love is Science? (2021, above) - I could watch 12 whole episodes of Ou Wen learning to trust playboy bi Mark.
Semantic Error (2022, top) - Park Seoham returns from military service later this year, but IDK. I feel like there's not much else to explore here. Loved every minute of it though.
KinnPorsche (2022) - This is another couple that I feel ran its course. I would sooner watch a spinoff of Kim and Chay, even though I think Jeff Satur is more interested in music these days, because I need to know if Kim loved Chay or if he just pitied him. Plus, Kim is next-gen mob boss and I'd love to see it. And while I did enjoy Pete & Vegas, it appears we are still up in the air about whether the actor who played Pete...is a piece of sh*t. What a plot twist?
Love in the Air (2022) - Both couples contributed some of the best sex scenes to BL history, but I doubt there's more story to tell.
The Eighth Sense (2023) - They fucked me all the way up. 😭 Made To My Star 2 seem like a cake walk. I need a sequel just to know where this is going.

Roar Of The Water Dragon (Shui Long Yin)
Tumblr media
Today, Luo Yunxi's next big drama was officially announced with him in the lead role. And just because I had so much fun staring at the poster the last time, I'm going to do it again.
We have some of the same elements as in the last poster: The water, as well as a fox dragon with antlers in the foreground. The man riding the dragon already resembles Luo Yunxi. This is Tang Lici, the main character of this story. This time, the hair isn't completely white yet, rather an ombre of white tips and black roots. I really hope this means he will use his natural hairline instead of a wig for parts of the show.
Tumblr media
Let's look at the details. His eyes are closed and he is reaching out. Just like in the first poster, he looks calm, while everything around him is in movement. There are red, gold and green ribbons surrounding him and some golden glow around his left hand. Next to his shoulder there are loose red feathers and further on top small white-golden birds following the fox dragon. They remind me of swallow, but with fantasy elements. Some of the green-blue ribbons turn into waves further up the painting.
Tumblr media
Next to the dragon are what looks like a couple of significant locations. On the bottom is a ship in a stormy sea. The figurehead resembles the dragon. Next to the ship are fish flying above the wave, which resemble the birds. This might mean a close connection between sea and sky in the symbolism of the show. Just like the flying water dragon.
Tumblr media
There are five other locations between the mountains under the moonlight. The one on the left looks like a bridge, the one on the right like a high tower. The one in the middle, I do recognize.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's the Hengyang sect complex, Otter Studio build for TTEOTM and which has since then been used in many other productions, such as My Journey to You and Mysterious Lotusbook Case.
Tumblr media
On top of the poster is a golden glowing lotus blossom. Inside of it sits a man in what looks like meditation position. It's hard to see clear, but it looks Tang Lici, only this time dressed very differently. I'm not sure if I have seen anything similar in cdramas before, especially his hair and crown. It looks almost South Asian to me. It would be funny if it's actually Thai, after Leo became cultural friendship ambassador for China-Thailand. Then again, most of his recent activities ended up somehow connected to this drama, and its production and broadcasters.
The warm, golden light and the position makes me think of enlightenment and even godhood. I will quote a post I found on Twitter. But be aware, that his could be considered a spoiler:
Tumblr media
Going from this, Tang Lici might have a long journey ahead of him, that will turn him from a troublemaker into a saint, by overcoming his own worldly obsessions. Sounds familiar?
Anyway, I'm super excited about the show! Booting ceremony is rumored to be in early December. By then, we might get more info on the rest of the cast. Maybe my wish comes true, and there really won't be a romantic focused story!

BE MY FAVORITE EPISODE 5 – A PADAWAN IN THE TEMPLE OF ENLIGHTENMENT (AND A NOD AT MARRIAGE EQUALITY)
I consider myself quite visually-oriented, but oddly I've not applied that so much to the dramas I watch, preferring to focus on the text and narrative as though they were a book come to life.
Tumblr media
But this scene in Be My Favorite (beginning at Ep.5 [3I4] 1.55, when Pisaeng goes to see Max in the café) is so chock-full of meaningful visual details whacking you in the eyeballs that I've simply got to write about it.
It's not a secret that Max is portrayed as the wise queer elder in BMF. The narrative clearly shows him inhabiting that role, with his queer activism (Ep.8 [3I4] 5.43, Ep.10 [2/4] 2.58) and him doling out advice to Kawi (e.g., Ep.4 [1I4] 3.03, Ep.5 [2/4] 10.07, Ep.6 [1I4] 16.11, Ep.8 [3I4] 4.35) and tough love to Pisaeng (Ep.5 [3I4] 2.53) as they grow into their (queer) identities.
The visuals in the scene at Ep.5 [3I4] 1.55 really reinforce this purposeful portrayal as well.
First of all, the camera angle is pitched low, so that Max towers above all others in the scene, amplifying his physical stature (and drawing attention to his intellectual one as well).
He is also dressed in shades of yellow and rust, which call to mind the robes (that range in hue from saffron to cinnamon) worn by the greatly respected and influential Buddhist monks of Thailand. With this chromatic and cultural context, the colors of Max's wardrobe are meant to signal his seasoned wisdom and authority as he sternly counsels inexperienced babygay Pisaeng. (GMMTV has also used these colors to denote similar higher-thinking preoccupations and orientations in Moonlight Chicken and Bad Buddy as well – see this write-up linked here.)
Now the colors that we see in the café interior are also significant – the abundance of white with yellow and gold/metallic accents is a color scheme that is also used very often in the Buddhist temple architecture of Thailand. You can see this too in the scene where Pisaeng comforts Kawi after the funeral of the latter's dad (Ep.8 [2/4] 4.42):
Tumblr media
(above) Be My Favorite Ep.8 [2/4] 4.42 – Pisaeng and Kawi talk on the steps of a Thai temple, most probably after the funeral of Kawi's dad (note the white, yellow and metallic accents)
A Google Image Search for "Thai Temple Architecture" will also bring up many examples; Wat Benchamabophit is a sumptuously typical one. The similar colors in the café are thus playing their part to emphasize the monastic theme and Max's role as the sacerdotal senior in these hallowed grounds.
Among all the pops and pings of yellow in the café décor is a prominent disk (likely a representation of the sun) that can be seen on the noren of the doorway behind the servery.
Tumblr media
(above) Be My Favorite Ep.5 [3I4] 2.32 – Max and his halo while talking to Pisaeng
The cinematography has some shots carefully positioned so that the disk appears to encircle (in turns) Max and then Pisaeng like a golden halo – Max at Ep.5 [3I4] 2.32 and Pisaeng at Ep.5 [3I4] 2.47.
Tumblr media
(above) Be My Favorite Ep.5 [3I4] 2.47 – Pisaeng and his halo while talking to Max
Significantly, the halo in Buddhist iconography is also used (as it is in Western art) to evoke holiness and/or enlightenment. In this BMF scene we see it first around Max, and then around Pisaeng, which suggests that the (queer) wisdom being imparted is moving in the direction from the former to the latter.
But the brightest splash of yellow must surely be the large sunflowers on display behind Max.
Tumblr media
(above) Be My Favorite Ep.5 [3I4] 2.54
Aside from the higher-minded connotations associated with the yellow color, the choice of bloom is significant in a number of other ways. Sunflowers turn to face the sun's illumination as it moves across the sky, and this parallels how Pisaeng has come to the café to seek out Max, the haloed source of his enlightenment.
In addition, various Thai websites (including the Pantip forum, linked here) point out that in Thailand the sunflower is symbolic of steadfastness, which to me aligns well with Max's unwavering confidence in his LGBTQ+ identity and dedication to the cause.
And finally, the Thai words for sunflower (ทานตะวัน, pronounced something like taan dtawan) can be roughly translated as "to resist/oppose the sun", which also fits really well with Max's leanings toward LGBTQ+ activism and the peaceful protesting for equal rights in the face of searing opposition.
All of this fingerpointing to wisdom and high-mindedness is given an additional boost when we look at the prominent Thai lettering on the wall behind Max (that spells out the café's name "เจ-ดีย์", pronounced something like che-di).
Tumblr media
More often spelt without a hyphen, เจดีย์ refers to the Thai chedi or stupa, which is also a Buddhist religious building in Thailand (usually bell-shaped and functioning as a holy reliquary and/or a place of meditation) within a temple complex. You can see a painting of a chedi on the café wall next to Pisaeng at Ep.6 [1I4] 6.27:
Tumblr media
(above) Be My Favorite Ep.6 [1I4] 6.34 – Max and Pisaeng chat on the café terrace next to a painting of a chedi
The idea that Pisaeng has entered a hall of greater erudition is further underlined by the name of the café on the wall. However, in real life when using Roman letters the café spells its name Jedi, not Chedi (you can see this on their Facebook linked here, and also at Ep.3 [2/4] 6.17 and Ep.6 [1I4] 12.35).
Tumblr media

And although it's not a Star Wars-themed café, they do have a drink called the Yoda, drawing attention to the café's name as a pun on the noble knights of the film series as well (see this link here).
Remembering that the Jedi in Star Wars canon are a line of monastic, wise, peace-loving elder fighters (Yoda being a prime example), the café name behind Max also calls out to his senior queer activist role in Be My Favorite.
Tumblr media
(above) Be My Favorite Ep.5 [3I4] 2.30
Coming back to the colors, it's impossible not to notice the streaks of pink in Max's hair:
Tumblr media
(above) Be My Favorite Ep.5 [3I4] 2.49
In Thailand the head is considered the seat of knowledge and wisdom (leading to much unnecessary handwringing on foreign websites around touching a Thai person's head; see this link here that sheds more sensible light on the matter). As for the color pink, it's historically been symbolic of the LGBTQ+ community.
With his distinctive coiffure, it's not difficult to see that Max is being presented as radiating pink knowledge and wisdom. (Also worth noting is that the streaks in his hair fade to a somber gray in other timelines when he is not the sagely elder and/or the narrative has taken a darker turn, e.g., at Ep.7 [2/4] 3.10 when his standing is downgraded to popstar Kawi's put-upon assistant, and at Ep.11 [4/4] 1.45 when Kawi is in the ICU.)
Tumblr media
(above left) Be My Favorite Ep.7 [2/4] 3.22; (above right) Ep.11 [4/4] 1.54
‌I never knew that all of this visual signaling in film actually had a technical name, but it does. This is called visual rhetoric, when details in the setting, props and wardrobe echo and amplify the same message being conveyed by the dialogue and drama on screen, and I learnt this from the wise and always-spicy @respectthepetty's posts on Reading the Visual Rainbow (linked here and here). RTP's posts have greatly enriched my understanding and enjoyment of the dramas that I watch, especially Thai BL, and I highly, highly recommend reading them. 👍💖
Anyway, if Max in this scene is the venerated elder imparting wisdom to his rapt congregation (and that includes the viewing audience too; it's not just Pisaeng), what is his message here? I think that there are at least two messages being conveyed.
At the level of the text, an exasperated Max is admonishing acolyte Pisaeng (beginning at Ep.5 [3I4] 2.53) for all of his bumbling around coming to terms with his queer identity:
"Listen. There are wars going on around the world. Our politics are crap. People get locked up because they voice their opinions. Ice is melting at the poles. People are killing people because of race or religion. Who are you? Are you that important? Why do you even think other people would care where you go or what you do?"
But Max's tone and choice of words are maybe a touch harsher than they need to be? Especially in Thailand, where jai yen (ใจเย็น, meaning coolness of heart; see this link here for more explanation) is so important in polite social interaction, his diatribe seems far out of proportion compared to Pisaeng's clumsiness, insensitive as it might have been.
I think this is because it's not actually Pisaeng that is the intended recipient of this rant – the message is actually meant for the larger viewing audience. In Thailand where queer people face considerably less risk to personal safety than in other countries but are nonetheless still subject to discrimination, Max's questions ("Who are you? Are you that important? Why do you even think other people would care where you go or what you do?") are not just telling Pisaeng that he should be worrying less about how others might perceive him, but are also highlighting that no one should even have to worry about been seen as different (and treated differently for it) in the first place.
Because – following the mention of wars, dirty politics, arbitrary detention, restricted speech, global warming and ethnic cleansing – idealist Max's questions can be directed to broader society as well, if you re-phrase them a little differently to encompass all queer people and not just Pisaeng, like this:
"Who are we (to you)? Are we that important (in the larger scheme of things)? Why should other people care where we go or what we do (if it's just us living our lives as private members of society)?"
Max is declaiming that on a grander scale, the fixation that conservatives have on denying queer people equal rights based on fictional, imagined reasons is farcically illogical and wholly unwarranted compared to the actual problems being faced by the planet. At its plainest, the message is: stop objecting to equal treatment for LGBTQ+ people, because surely it must be a non-issue that equality should apply to all, since it harms no one.
And all of this ties in to the second message of the scene, that is trumpeted loudly by the visuals – and it's about marriage equality.
I learnt about the most important part of a Thai wedding ceremony called รดน้ำสังข์ (pronounced something like rot naam sang; have also seen this reversed as sang rot naam) when I looked up a scene in Not Me The Series, in order to reblog a post by @wen-kexing-apologist referencing marriage equality in that BL:
During the rot naam sang, elders in attendance pour water from a ceremonial conch shell (nowadays replaced by a symbolic, cone-shaped vessel) onto the hands of the bridal couple, and this marks the moment when the pair are formally married. During that particular scene in Not Me, various elements onscreen came together (in another example of visual rhetoric) to form an unspoken comment regarding the issue of marriage for all in Thailand (more info in the post linked here).
Since then, anytime something shaped like a cone or funnel appears in a Thai drama, especially in the presence of water, I can't help but wonder if they're referencing a wedding somehow (remembering @respectthepetty's post on reading the visuals, and the scene in Not Me).
And this scene in Be My Favorite (starting at Ep.5 [3I4] 1.55) is absolutely doing just that, especially in the light of Max's little sermon on equality and Thai BL's years-long march in support of queer marriage in general.
When queer elder Max pours water into one of the cone-shaped coffee filters at Ep.5 [3I4] 1.55, the scene has been set up as an explicit visual reference to the rot naam sang, with the filters standing in for the symbolic conch.
Tumblr media
There are two funnels in front of Max, but only one gets the water. Both pour-over coffee sets are identical in form, function and capacity (with only a superficial difference in the appearance – one has a metallic frame and trim while the other doesn't). But the funnel on Max's left (despite being the equal of the other) receives no water at all, emphasizing how only cishet couples in Thailand are allowed to get married, while everyone else outside that definition is denied. (The two funnels are actually separate filtration sets placed side-by-side just for this scene.) And then Be My Favorite unequivocally draws a line through this to show how wrong it all is, by having Max's arm physically cross out the visual of the two symbolic sangs or matrimonial conches (one filled, one empty) at Ep.5 [3I4] 2.24.
Tumblr media
This is not the only time BMF shows up with drums beating for marriage equality – we see this on the activist signage display at Ep.11 [1I4] 11.27 and also when the doctor sidelines Pisaeng (at Ep.11 [4/4] 0.36) when discussing Kawi's health because he's not a blood relation or a legal spouse.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(top) The activist signage display at Ep.11 [1I4] 11.27; (bottom) the doctor asks if there are family members he might contact regarding Kawi's health, when Pisaeng is right there in front of him (Ep.11 [4/4] 0.36)
Given all of Be My Favorite's focus on this matrimonial LGBTQ+ cause, my hope for the finale of the series is that Pisaeng and Kawi end up in a timeline where marriage equality does become a reality for them (not a prediction though, just wishful thinking). And it's not just their own wedding that I would like to see. 😍
In different timelines, Pear ends up with nothing but heartache for choosing the wrong guy – e.g., Pisaeng absconding before their wedding vows in order to kiss Kawi in a drunken declaration of love (Ep.2 [4/4] 5.46), her relationship with Kawi souring because Pisaeng (apparently) came between them (Ep.7 [2/4] 11.28), and settling for a prison sentence with slimeball Not as her jailer because she's pregnant and doesn't want to wait any longer for marriage (Ep.7 [3I4] 4.00).
Tumblr media
(above) Be My Favorite Ep.7 [3I4] 3.50 – a tearful Pear explains to Kawi why she's marrying Not
My hope is for the finale to bestow a Happily Ever After on long-suffering Pear for once. And with all the discourse around marriage equality in Be My Favorite – wouldn't it be a nice touch if her soon-to-be spouse James (whose name pops up on the wedding invitation at Ep.11 [3I4] 0.27) turns out to be somewhat different from the usual boring supermarket box-cake variety?
Tumblr media
(above) Be My Favorite Ep.11 [3I4] 0.27
Whether it's trans, lesbian, nonbinary or another option, so many possibilities abound. As long as they make her happy... I can only hope. 💖

2023 Fic Roundup
I've been doing this for the last few years and it's been a satisfying exercise so time to take a look at my AO3 and see what I did this year for writing.
A full list of all my fic can be found here on tumblr or on my AO3. (sometimes I forget to update my tumblr list but I end up catching up eventually). I also tag posts about my fic with the incredibly creative tag "my fic."
After a few absolutely maniacal years of writing, this year slowed down. I missed it, but life and more responsibilities at work got in the way. Still, there were some satisfying accomplishments.
Words posted: 178,315
Fics posted: 14 - less than half of what I wrote last year :'(
Fics completed: 13 (still one wip nagging at me, sigh)
Fandoms written in: Cherry Magic Th, Bad Buddy, Be My Favorite, The Eclipse, My Tooth Your Love, Never Let Me Go, Our Dating Sim, Semantic Error, Word of Honor
Fandom most written in both word count and fics:
Bad Buddy with 3 fics (1 wip) and 59, 071 wc
Fic with most hits, kudos and comments: Somebody to You for Semantic Error - an arranged marriage AU
Other notable fics I wrote this year:
I finished Echoes in the Dark, a fic I started about a month after Word of Honor aired and then I was distracted by some other fandom events. It's an AU where Zhou Zishu is also kidnapped by the Ghost Valley master when he and Wen Kexing were children. There's great art for it from the wip big bang and I'm really proud of it.
I also wrote sending wishes into the sky, a fic focused on Wen Kexing's relationship with Gu Xiang and processing her death for a discord exchange that I ended up fully outlining in a few hours and finishing at warp speed because I knew exactly what I was trying to do with it.
And a few one shots for Our Dating Sim that I even feel warm and fuzzy when I read them.
Plus finally finishing the Semantic Error fic I linked above that I started in 2022.
My writing this year was dominated by thai bl shows, which is interesting since I had not written for any thai bl until Bad Buddy. But I did a few exchanges (one in bbs fandom and one in GMM fandom) so that definitely made it more likely for me to write them.
Last year I said my writing goals will be to continue to work on finding a balance between catching inspiration when it comes and keeping going when a story requires more detailed work and sustained attention. This remains a continued goal. I finally finished two long standing wips this year and I have one more to go.
Also, related, getting better at outlining longer plots. haha.
For 2024, I will finish The Triple N Project if it is the last thing I do. I would also like to write some more for Cherry Magic Thailand and go back to a reincarnation AU I started for The Devil Judge long ago.
(all stats are for fic finished in 2023 only, my 2022 and 2021 posts are here)

Hiiii!! 💖
I love your analysis and opinions and I just saw this tweet about a Bad Buddy scene and wanted to ask what your thoughts are about it?
https://twitter.com/amaranthfoxtail/status/1629839868695117824?s=46&t=SwaHCtnbpSqeuX21_sj56g
Well hi there Anonymous, thanks for stopping by! 🥰
For context, the following screencap is from the tweet above (also linked here), and it's about Pran's behavior when Ming comes to thank him for his help in getting Pat exonerated, at Ep.10 [1I4] 4.56:
Tumblr media
I agree with OP on Twitter that this is another demonstration of Nanon's acting prowess. 😍 It's not of great significance to the plotline (in the sense that his acting here is not in service of some momentous reveal), but nonetheless what he does really helps reinforce the storytelling by further solidifying what we already know about Pran as a character.
To be quite honest, I actually hadn't noticed Nanon doing his thing in this scene, because BBS is full of quality acting (especially from the leads). Even the supporting cast were mostly commendable (with a couple of notable exceptions, whom we shall charitably leave nameless, of course 😉).
When you're not distracted by actorly inauthenticity, it's much easier to lose yourself in the narrative and its message. And with Bad Buddy, I found myself completely sucked in for the most part.
There was so much happening at the levels of text, subtext and metatext that it was all too easy to forget just how good at their craft (most of) the actors are. This little scene is a reminder to take a step back and admire one set of beautifully-functioning cogs and wheels that not only helped to bring the overall ideas-juggernaut that was Bad Buddy to life, but also imbued the chugging machine with a human soul. 🥰
Because of Dissaya's constant drumbeating about how much of a danger Ming and his gang of Jindapats next door were, Pran had always lived his life with his defenses mounted sky-high, keeping his personal life and any perceived vulnerabilities hidden away and protected from the outside. (See this link here for an analysis of Pran's private, protected world.)
At this juncture in BBS, Pran must also have been struggling internally (although, as usual, he's keeping it hidden from outside view). Despite the happiness of finally coupling up with his longtime crush Pat, that very same relationship (a font of so much joy) would also have been a source of distress on some level for him too.
Due to Dissaya's indoctrination, ever since his babyhood, Pran's one overriding assignment in life (above all others) was to stay the hell away from the evil, evil Jindapat family.
And falling into couplehood with his beloved Pat was the ultimate transgression of this one singular mission assigned to him ("You had ONE job!", I can almost hear Dissaya screaming at him. And she did, in a way, later this episode. 🤦‍♂️)
After a lifetime of secret-keeping, Pran is now saddled with one more skeleton to keep buried (at least from their families), and it's the biggest one of all.
So when he finds himself being approached by The Big Bad out on a public street, while he's actually talking with Pat, this must have been a terrifying moment for Pran (especially since he and Pat had already been outed as a couple by Wai on campus in Ep.8 [4/4]).
What Nanon does here is fill out his portrait of Pran with all-believable details, because we see Pran reacting wholly in character, consistent with his inner motivations.
As Ming nears, we see Pran's eyes flash with momentary fear, and he instinctively begins putting up walls to retreat behind (entirely in keeping with his basic modus operandi for any outside threat since childhood.)
His salutary wai to Ming is not a lowering of the drawbridge; it's a formality that is but one part of the culturally-imposed layering of politesse over social encounters in Thailand, which helps to keep things at a safe and formal distance (and Pran at this stage is all about building up layers as buffers to the outside, so of course he rushes one out, albeit awkwardly).
Nanon then goes for the body language, and opts for a clearly defensive stance to illustrate Pran's need to shield himself psychologically from The Enemy, with his arms crossed tight and low against his body. All the while his posture is stiffened, as though he's barely remembering to breathe, frozen like a prey animal that's aware it's been sighted.
Then there's the clasping of the watch. On one level it must have been hugely reassuring to Pran (in this moment of fearful uncertainty) to be able to physically touch – if not his beloved Pat standing right next to him (for that would have been madness in Ming's presence), then at least an enduring symbol of the love they share. 💖
But with a closer look we see he's not just touching or fingering it like a totem for comfort – he's covering it totally from view. Since Ming can't have known how the watch is symbolic of Pran's long-held love for Pat, there is actually no need for Pran to hide it from him.
But that fact is immaterial to Pran, because I think he indulges in a lot of his (trademark) behaviors more for himself than others. It's a coping mechanism, for him to feel in control and safe. For example, arranging his coloring kit so that it grades across the spectrum, having a strictly-choreographed morning routine, the large smiley on his door – all these are almost ritualistic in nature, bringing order, comfort and calm (in that sequence) to Pran's world.
So even while the watch doesn't mean a thing to Ming, hiding it from him is a tremendous psychological boost to Pran. On one level, it's a reminder to him of his other defensive circles around all that he holds dear.
But the watch also throbs with the emotional weight of all his unrequited love accumulated over years spent pining, a love that then ballooned to its fullest form when fed with Pat's love returned. It's a metaphor not just of the present-day love between him and Pat, but also of the defining history of how that love came to be, and in that way a metaphor of the relationship itself over time (a watch is a signaler of time, after all).
So covering the watch with his hand is yet another metaphor, for how Pran has been shielding the true nature of his association with Pat all his life. (And when he does this, a little part of me also wants to think he's also trying to protect his beloved Pat as well. 💖)
I wouldn't have expected anything less from Pran, because he loves plastering the walls of his life with metaphors that embody his preternatural need for veiled communication (at least up until this point).
And then we need to take ourselves out of the moment, and ponder the fact that Nanon was holding all of this roiling backstory within himself and using it to shape a Pran of prized authenticity, who is true to life, consistent, rounded and believable to any viewer. Nothing short of amazing. 🤩
It's just occurred to me though, that Ming's expression of gratitude and also Pat's excitement at the possible thawing of family relations in this scene could have helped push Pran to try living his life with more vulnerability exposed.
But instead of doing it gradually, he made it a seismic change by organizing their khan maak in front of the Archi Faculty, a mutual and very public declaration of love – and it unfolds right after this scene (barring the opening credits).
Unless I'm mistaken, this really is the last time we see Pran with his shields and defenses anxiously up – conveyed to us via a few simple gestures from the master of subtlety Nanon Korapat.
So aside from Ming's hugely unexpected apology to the offspring of his sworn enemy, this scene was also notable for maybe helping to nudge Pran out of his shell. Who knew there was this milestone in there too? 😍💖
Tumblr media
P.S. If you'd like to read a bit more about Nanon's and Ohm's acting styles, @absolutebl's got some more analysis at this link here (and as usual it's some mighty fine stuff 👍).

fact about bumblebee bats? i miss your bat facts
HI SORRY IT'S BEEN A HOT MINUTE SCHOOL IS HARD BUT HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tumblr media
Bumblebee Bats/Kitti's Hog-Nosed Bats/Craseonycteris thonglongyais are the world's smallest mammal. Yeah, there's a shrew that might be a tad smaller by dimensions depending on the specimens you are comparing but, listen, Bumblebee Bats are definitely the smallest by weight and also most of the time by size so we're going with the bats for that award title. THEY WEIGH AS MUCH AS A DIME!!!!!!!!!!! INSANE!!!!!! (Official dimensions put the little lads at  29 to 33 mm (1.1 to 1.3 in) in length and 2 g (0.071 oz) in mass.)
Tumblr media
Now a lot of people out there will post pictures of bat dolls and claim they're Bumblebee Bats so it's hard to find accurate pictures of them online but here is one to show you HOW INSANELY FREAKING SMALL THEY ARE. LOOK AT THIS PICTURE. LOOK AT YOUR OWN HAND. IMAGINE.
(p.s. handling your imaginary bat barehanded is fine but real bats should be handled with gloves)
Anyway, this bat is native to Thailand and consumes insects and spiders using their handy-dandy super flying skills. Like most bats, they're highly acrobatic. Being this small, they might be mistaken for an insect flying through the night sky which is super convenient if you eat insects because you blend right in. Sneaky.
Tumblr media
As you can see in the photo above, these bats have kind of a snubby nose which is why they are more formally known as Kitti's Hog-Nosed Bat. The "Kitti" part of their name and the "thonglongyais" part of their scientific name come from the man who discovered them in 1973, Kitti Thonglongya, a Thai biologist.
As of right now, it is estimated that only about 4,000 individual Bumblebee Bats in the wild which has earned them the title of "Near Threatened" on the IUCN list BUT this bat is facing fast habitat loss due to development and human disturbance so "Near Threatened" is very bad indeed. A lot of biologists insist that this species is facing extinction.
Tumblr media
ANYWAY happier quick facts:
They're wings are shaped in a such a way that suggests an ability to hover during flight which is RAD.
They only hunt for 30 minutes at the beginning of the night and 20 minutes right before morning.
The females have 1 baby a year and usually carried the kiddos to work with them and kiddo has to hang on to momma via a vestigial (non-functioning) nipple in her pubic area. Whack.
They hunt near cassava plants are vital to pest control.
Tumblr media
Here's one last rad lad for the road ;)

GJ and ZZH Updates — February 26-March 4
<<< previous week || all posts || following week >>>
This is part of a weekly series collecting updates from and relating to Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan.
This post is not wholly comprehensive and is intended as an overview, links provided lead to further details. Dates are in accordance with China Standard Time, the organization is chronological. My own biases on some things are reflected here. Anything I include that is not concretely known is indicated as such, and you’re welcome to do your own research and draw your own conclusions as you see fit. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or additions. :)
[Glossary of names and terms] [Masterlist of my posts about the situation with Zhang Zhehan]
02-26 → Gong Jun flew back to Beijing.
02-27 → Fresh posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun, shortly followed by a promotional video.
→ Madame Tussauds posted a gif that used shots of Gong Jun from The Flaming Heart, Dream Garden, Rising with the Wind, and their own photoshoot with him.
02-28 → 1000th day since Word of Honor filming began.
→ Gong Jun posted a douyin from his trip to Thailand. Caption: “Thailand travel guide” with “guide” (gonglue) written with the gong from his name. BGM is Small Town Summer by LBI利比, one of the songs he sang for his New Year’s Eve performance. Fan Observations:  -  He’s been including images of trees a lot recently.   -  A review of the Small Town Summer candy: It’s a song about falling in love in the summer while listening to Jay Chou.
→ Deeyeo posted a teaser image for their upcoming endorsement with Gong Jun. (1129 kadian) Caption: “He can freely switch between different roles, and he has made breakthroughs in various challenges[.] 9:00 on March 2, stay tuned!”
03-01 → At midnight in all timezones, Zhang Zhehan’s music released by Xinxi (ie. the Light and Another Me albums) were removed from Spotify, iTunes, and Amazon Music. It was noticed soon after that these songs had also been moved from YoYo Rock’s main YouTube channel to their indie channel, where they were unlisted but at that time could be found through a public playlist. Fan Observations: -  The scammers and whalers were all silent on the topic, suggesting that this was not their doing, if it was CAPA’s doing it should have happened long ago, and if it was a matter of contracts expiring it’s surprising that both albums would be affected at once.   -  The most likely explanation at the time of this post is that either Zhang Zhehan or Xinxi specifically requested for the songs to be removed, Zhang Zhehan being more probable as Xinxi’s main concern would be the revenue gained from the songs still being up.  -  The purpose of having Zhang Zhehan’s old songs in the same place as the new stolen ones is to give the new songs the impression of legitimacy, so taking them down counters that. [full breakdown of the above points]   -  The fact that YoYo Rock moved and unlisted them was likely to try to avoid copyright claims. It’s possible that this was in response to a cease and desist. Addition 03-05: [breakdown about the YoYo Rock videos]
→ Gong Jun’s studio posted his schedule for March: magazine shoots on 03-02 and 03-05, event on 03-04. Caption: “Spring is blooming, the sky is clear and the air is fresh! Boss @ Gong Jun Simon's March itinerary is coming, the new month is full of energy!” BGM is 春之行 by 灰澈. Fans left comments en masse on the post asking the studio to take action against recent anti activity. 
→ Deeyeo posted a teaser of their commercial with Gong Jun that would release the following day. (1129 kadian)
→ Gong Jun posted three photos of himself with a dog to his Xiao Hong Shu, advertising Tangle Teezer’s pet brush. (14:06, 1640 kadian) Tangle Teezer later posted a behind the scenes video of the photoshoot.
→ Madame Tussauds posted a video of their photoshoot with Gong Jun. Fan Observations:  -  In the video, he signs a book with the date 2021-07 (exact date cut). This led to speculation of if it was originally intended for there to be matching wax models of both Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan.  -  It was noted that on 2021-05-10, Zhang Zhehan wore a very similar white suit by the same brand as the one Gong Jun wore for the Madame Tussauds photoshoot.
03-02 → Gong Jun posted the full commercial he did for Deeyeo, formally announcing his endorsement with them. This was reposted by his studio and Deeyeo. Deeyeo also posted a photo ad and a promotional video with the announcement. 
→ 361° posted two photo ads featuring Gong Jun. (1129 kadian) Fan Observation: The blue jacket is called 云舒防晒衣, with 云舒 being the same as in the Word of Honor line “Take a lover’s hand, and watch the clouds unfold,” referencing Zhou Zishu’s name (episode 25).
→ Zhang Sanjian appeared briefly at an airport in a paparazzi livestream accompanied by Xie Yihua, wearing baggy clothing, a hat, glasses, and a mask. No one said his name.
→ The unlisted YoYo Rock videos were found to have been privated.
→ Madame Tussauds posted nine old photos of Gong Jun.
03-03 → Deeyeo posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.
→ Gong Jun posted sixteen photos from his trip to Thailand with a caption playing on the lyric “You know you don’t know (你知不知道 不知道)” replacing “buzhidao” with “pujidao” (Phuket Island). He also posted the photos to his Xiao Hong Shu, caption: “I didn’t have fun!  As if 🤭” and Instagram, caption: “Happy Time !” (11:17, 511 kadian) Fan Observation: Possible ring sighting in the first photo.
→ Gong Jun’s studio posted an additional nine photos of the Thailand trip. Caption: “Green trees by the sea, resting along the road, please check the travel postcards from boss @ Gong Jun Simon.” 
Tumblr media
→ Gong Jun’s 2017 drama Advance Bravely became available for streaming on Viki.
→ Gong Jun liked two videos on Douyin, one about a dog who “wants to love you unconditionally” and another of an older woman talking about how having a good husband made a hard life easier. It was noted that the date had three 3s in it, Zhang Zhehan’s favourite number.
03-04 → Tangle Teezer posted a promotional video spoken by Gong Jun. (1129 kadian)
→ Madame Tussauds made a post announcing that the unveiling of Gong Jun’s statue would be shown on a livestream that afternoon.
→ Deeyeo posted a short Q&A video with Gong Jun. [subbed video] Fan Observation: When asked which of his past roles he’s most similar to he said Yuan Che from Love Lost in Times.

Zhang-zong” [clips]  -  Many noted that the pose looks as if it was meant to have someone else standing beside it, with people comparing it to the Tom Ford event specifically.
→ Gong Jun’s studio posted nine photos of Gong Jun touring Madame Tussauds. Caption: “No time to explain the new style of aesthetics at the beginning, and boss @ Gong Jun Simon uses a different fashion attitude to create a modern new force.”
→ Gong Jun’s studio posted six photos from the unveiling. Caption: “Through the modern tunnel, boss @ Gong Jun Simon and ‘Second Jun’ appeared at Madame Tussauds Shanghai, weaving fashion trends with original colors.”
→ Madame Tussauds posted another six photos from that day. They also posted additonal photos and a making-of video to their WeChat.
Tumblr media
Addition 03-05: ONOFFON Collection made a post highlighting their jacket that Gong Jun had worn to the event.
Additional Reading: → Flora’s daily fan news → My own observation: The Instagram was unusually inactive this week.

Vice Versa ep 11
Much like Puen and Talay shifting back to their original universe (ou) this week, the show made a clear design shift. Before the ep, I was eagerly awaiting red - so much Red - in the clothes, in the lighting, in the set and in the props...so I felt bereft when we didn't get it. It felt strange, as though this ep didn't seem to belong in the same 'world' that the series had set up over the past 10 eps...and of course it didn't!...because we weren't in the alternate universe (au) anymore...we're now back in the ou. Of course it would be different.
But I didn't realise this at first.
At first I didn't understand. I missed the look and feel of the show that I had gotten used to over the past ten weeks. I wanted the vibrancy of the multi-coloured palettes, the saturation of single colours throughout the scenes. I was sad the show had changed and I couldn't, at first, find reasoning to it. But then I did - I realised I was basically being made to feel how Talay and Puen (and probably Pakorn and Tess) must have been feeling to have left somewhere that they had gotten to know and love. Their bereftness was also my bereftness. My sadness that I didn't get all. the. red. was their sadness to leave the lives they had lived for two years.
And what a perfect way to emphasise this change from one thing to the next - the end of one thing and the beginning of the next - than Fuse's (maybe final, if we don't see him again) t-shirt, "SUNDAY". Incidentally, the colour attributed to Sunday in Thailand is also, yes, you guessed it, RED.
Tumblr media
Despite it being the red episode, there was actually a lot of blue and yellow (see Aou above and Pakorn below for examples). I can reason blue could be because of Talay but the yellow I'm not so sure about (I come back to this later!). The very first shot of the ep is of Pakorn in the blue and yellow windbreaker...but in the ambulance Puen has changed to the other actor's top. Now, this could just be a continuity error...but it could also be very deliberate and I want to know why. (It could I suppose have been that before going into the ambulance they changed Puen out of his wet top and put him in the dry one of his co-star...but that doesn't seem like a likely scenario in an emergency):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But back to red...and the red we did get was small and subtle - one could say 'normal' amounts of a colour that we'd expect in our everyday lives. Perhaps to show that Puen and Talay are back to their 'normal' lives in their universe (albeit changed by Tess and Pakorn). @talaypuens wrote a fabulous post looking at this understated use of red, about how the red both represents Puen (in Thai, red = "daeng" - which sounds like how Talay kept drawing out the the name 'Dang' which he used for Tun in jest - and which can translate to being 'famous' or a 'celebrity'), and also as a symbol of things preventing Talay and Puen from getting to each other - literally as a 'stop sign'.
I loved Talay's time at the beach in particular, because we not only have the cryptic blue and yellow (of the fisherman's t-shirt and Talay's shirt) in the daytime but when Talay finally gets to the island at night, he's wearing a pastel red linin shirt. Maybe because on one hand he's closer to being with Puen again, but on the other hand the pink, along with the different blues of the sky, sea, and fisherman's t-shirt, and the slightly orangey-red of the boat, make up the 'Sea palette' that Puen named in ep 7.
Tumblr media
The same colours which are in the painting beside Talay's bed as soon as he gets home:
Tumblr media
I won't go through all the red instances (because @talaypuens did that in their post linked above)...but I'll just point out two which weren't included. First in the cinema, with Puen's pink beside Talay, the red behind...and Gyo in a blend of their colours beside him (red+blue=purple):
Tumblr media
And earlier with Talay's friend group (miraculously accepting him back after a two-year estrangement). Just look at all that blue and yellow!
Tumblr media
In their post, @talaypuens points out that there's a push and pull of the universe trying to get Talay and Puen together and this is shown in the the form of green vs red - the green "nature/set is organically telling them where they will eventually end up (the glass house), but the artificial inserts of red also is STOPPING them from letting it happen". And we see as the ep goes on that more and more of the screen is taken over by the green...which I realise now is made from mixing yellow and blue...so that could be the reason those colours are more prevalent in the beginning of the ep and less so after the green itself takes over. The above friend scene is one of the last ones with yellow in it, as is the greeny-yellow jacket of the interviewer in the following scene. Blue and yellow pop back again briefly in the cinema as Talay is rushing back to try to see Puen:
Tumblr media
And then Talay and Puen finally meet at the glass house...which is full of green...but also both are wearing dark blue, and the fairy lights bringing in the yellow. Everything adds up to green. Everything is screaming GO. Finally.
But before we get the reunion, Talay reaches out to the pinky-red plant in the cage, perhaps representing Puen or their love (pink is them remember) but whilst they've been estranged from each other they are trapped, stunted, unable to grow and develop to their full potential. Or maybe the plant represents everything from the alternate universe and how it's shut away from them, unreachable, and potentially slowly dying...as memories do when they fade away...? @grapejuicegay also made some wonderful interpretations about this here: "Puen trapped back in this universe when Talay had to struggle to make his way back, Puen trapped behind the wall of fame that is keeping them from meeting".
Tumblr media
And so we get to the end and this below, this was the only moment I felt we were back to the 'world' of Vice Versa. In Puen's bedroom, with the pink and blue feel of the lighting (along with that pop of golden light) that the past two eps have been leaning on so strongly. I felt a comfort, a familiarity, a sense of 'this is where we belong'...very much like Talay and Puen must be feeling to finally be back within each other's orbit, no?
Tumblr media
And so for next week...I've done a lot of theorising already about the final ep colour and right now I don't think I could guess from the preview, so I'll just keep it to what I'd like it to be -> either a blue (for Talay) or a 'sea green' (to match the ocean blue) or silver (because of the moon reference we got in the preview), or even a violet/purple for @grapejuicegay 💜
These little easter eggs (the colour-wheel clock and artwork on the wall) might also be telling us that it's a light colour...or just giving us a red herring because the show has either purposefully left it blank or used two slightly different shades so as not to spoil it...we'll soon see!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
'Transparent' has also been suggested (by @demichirua), which I like because Talay has been carrying a transparent bag this ep, but also because, as @grapejuicegay said: "the barriers between the universes are sort of clearing up for them" (if they do universe-hop again as the preview is leading us to believe).
Anyway, never trust a Thai trailer/preview...so I'm hoping they are just leading us on and that they won't actually switch universes again. There's a lot to suggest that they do universe-hop - Talay doesn't have his glasses on in one cafe scene (and in the bathroom and in bed), so it could be in the au, and sometimes Puen and Talay are wearing clothes more in the style of Pakorn and Tess...
But, there's a lot to suggest they also don't universe-hop - Talay has his glasses on even in scenes where their clothes look more like from the au (they could have just bought similar clothes in the ou because they've gotten used to them) and he also has his glasses on when he has the Friend Credits folder and when it looks like he meets Aou (who could be someone else in the ou like with Joe/Pramote -> @grapejuicegay here I go with my clown Dol agenda again because what if Dol makes it back and he looks like Aou in the original universe!). Remember, similar objects/locations exist in both universes...
[Ep 1] [Ep 2] [Ep 3] [Ep 4] [Ep 5] [Ep 6] [Ep 7] [Ep 8] [Ep 9] [Ep 10] [Ep 11] [Ep 12]

BL Elitists & Snobbery in Fandom
Disclaimer: My favorite BLs of all time err on the "mature" side, harassing actors is bad, fanservice can be bad, shipping can be toxic, and I too am critical of certain aspects of fandom. Nobody's perfect but let's all try to at least be nice and better than we were yesterday.
Since the premiere of KinnPorsche, there's been an uptick in elitism in the BL fandom. Fans of shows such as KinnPorsche, Bad Buddy, Semantic Error, and other BLs with "mature" themes, BLs produced in East Asia, and/or BLs which cast seasoned actors, increasingly bad-mouth fans of shows like Cutie Pie and others which either exist as pure fluff or take a more trope-y approach to BL storytelling. As a watcher of your ITSAYs and Tonhon Chonlatee's alike, it's a strange sight.
I was already burnt out by all the pandering straights who only enjoy the finest of Taiwanese and Korean BLs and scold the fan service-laden Thai BLs. But it has reached a new level that's, quite frankly, exhausting. It's like, we get it, you want to see the gritty realism of a gay relationship in modern East Asia, you want the glossy production and the seasoned actors in Japan--and the "no-nonsense anti-shipping/fan service" culture in Korean fandoms.... At least that's what you say. But all I see is a need to feel superior and a clear xenophobia that just goes unaddressed. Let's talk about this in parts.
1. Stanning a "mature" BL doesn't make you a better person. Also, saying you have superior taste for stanning ITSAY and Gameboys because "it's LGBT, not BL" is not helpful to anyone.
Let's start here. I will die on the hill that BL is part of LGBT media. I get that people traditionally associate the former with fantastical depictions of gay relationships but I posit this: if Twilight can be classified as a heterosexual romance, with all its blatantly unrealistic and even toxic elements, why can't Dark Blue Kiss or Fish Upon the Sky be LGBT romances? Why must all gay media be about the struggle of being gay? Why can't LGBT-identifying people have a break from the overwhelmingly rough reality we face? It's like saying POC should be limited to films about facing structural racism and borderline modern-day caste systems. As if we can't enjoy an escape from reality like Aladdin or Black Panther or whatever it is that allows us to have all the things western white people have in their media. For some of us, BLs and GLs, however unrealistic they can get, is a fantasy we enjoy. Let those who want it, have it.
2. Trashing Thai BLs just seems like xenophobia at best and color/racial superiority complexes at worst.
Honestly, when people brag about how "Korea is coming for the BL industry" and how superior Korean BLs are, despite how homophobic, boring, and straight up scarce many Korean BLs and BL actors are, it gives "Kpop rappers are better than American rappers" vibes. Like, I have seen people PRAISE Korean and Japanese live-action BLs as superior to anything out of Thailand (and claim ITSAY to be an exception--of course) when the reality of it is is that Thailand is just far more prolific and has been in the live-action game since day 1. Now, I'm not gonna lie, Korea has it's foot on the Yaoi manhwa genre's neck, but that hasn't translated very well into live-action. Moreover, when asked why they prefer Korean BLs overall, these stans can never give a rational answer. But common themes I've noticed include how attracted they are to the MCs, how ~realistic they are (AN: they're not, see: Color Rush, Cherry Blossoms After Winter, and other big names out of Korea), or just how they're "refreshing" as compared with Thai BLs because they're ~above fan service and things like that.
But increasingly, I'm finding that the biggest KBL stans are also kpop stans who just prefer the Korean idol look where everybody is limited to some variation of pale skin, small faces, and eurocentric features. And before anyone tries to come for me, just look at kpop idols, watch documentaries about the toxic single beauty standard and culture, or just talk to your Korean friends (like I do!) The beauty standard is highly specific and everyone must conform to it lest they be ostracized for being "too dark", "looking SEA" (which, why is this an insult?), or "looking poor/old". I'm not saying this to demonize anybody's type, but it feels strange (again, borderline xenophobic) when people who have definitely fetishized that standard reject excellent media on the basis of it. These same people seem to exclusively enjoy BLs from Northeast Asia and/or the white west and wouldn't even give Thai, Filipino, or Black LGBT stories a chance. Again, to each their own but it's the false sense of superiority for me.
As for criticizing the fan service culture, these same fans try to justify their clearly baseless attacks on non-East Asian/white media by saying that, for example, the Thai industry is toxic. But the reality is, Japanese and Korean media practically invented OTT gay fanservice between the straights. Just look at the way kpop and jpop idols are with each other. And while it isn't as OTT with BL actors as it is with the idols, that's likely largely because of how much of a niche BL is in those places compared to the pop idols. There's also something to be said for the fact that LGBTQ+ people, while definitely still discriminated against, are much more visible in places like Thailand. I may be going out on a limb here but I propose that if live-action BLs were as popular in Korea and Japan as they are in Thailand, we'd see a hell of a lot more OTT fan service. And with the recent success of Semantic Error, I can definitely see it happening. You already see it with Taiwanese BLs (MaxHao (however real or not real), anyone?)
3. Letting us know that you're ~not like the other girls, and "don't fetishize gay relationships" is not only blatantly false but also mischaracterizes a lot of the situation.
Now the elephant in the room are those who still enjoy Thai BLs but are so loud about preferring the 1000 Stars' and Bad Buddy's because "there's no seme-uke dynamic and I like that because it makes the characters more real" or "the actors are really good friends behind the scenes and I stan the friendship, not the possible romantic relationship" or, even worse, the "it's none of my business what the actors do outside of the show and I don't ship real people, so I'm better than everyone else who does because that shows my allyship and how I don't even see sexuality." It's giving ACAB, BLM, yet screaming over Black voices vibes.
Now, I never want to trash true allies and I totally agree that it's important not to blur fiction and reality and that we need at least some realistic depictions of gay relationships. But when the hets start going on and on about it whilst at the same time only enjoying BL like it's a dirty secret and assuming actors are straight (but criticizing any notion that an actor may not be), and going on about how everything is fan service so they're just ~above it all anyway...it gives overcompensating for what you know to probably be a fetish within yourself. It gives "I enjoy looking at two hot guys I wish I could fuck go at it and don't want to stop, so I'll pretend like I'm down for the cause, when in reality, I am very much just like the other girls" (girls used gender-neutrally here lol). I don't know, it just seems so fake to me.
And while I'm not saying I prefer delusional, toxic, shippers, there's something to be said for not pretending to be better when, in fact, you aren't. Why can't you consume BL the same way you consume straight romances (or even GLs)? Why does it have to be some activist political thing when you do it? Like, obviously don't fetishize MLM relationships but, speaking as a minority in many senses of the word, the way to normalize non-traditional relationships isn't to constantly make a big deal out of how you think they should operate in media when the reality is, as long as no one is being harmed, diverse representation is the easiest and best way to present any group of individuals. Like, not all Asians know martial arts and are super smart, not all Black people are artistically and athletically gifted, not all white people are wealthy and powerful. Likewise, not all LGBTQ+ people live the same lifestyle. Some are heteronormative. Some are femme in femme/femme relationships. Some have a lot of sex, some don't have sex at all. Why can't we show all these perspectives and allow people to like what they like, again, and I stress, as long as no one is being harmed?
Like, yes, we should definitely not encourage delusional waanjais who give Gulf porn art of him and Mew, but, there's a happy medium where we can do away with harmful representations and actions toward marginalized groups but also celebrate their diversity and people's love of their stories. I just don't see why elitists have to act like they're above everyone else when they are really all in the same boat.
That said, I will still (playfully, of course) roast anyone who actually enjoys boring ass Check Out, because that shit is just horrible lmao. But the difference here is roasting someone's taste in media vs. acting like you're doing the community a favor by uplifting strong masc/masc, non-heteronormative, non fs-driven relationships. Like what you like, roast what you want to roast, just don't be pretentious about it as if you're taking some sort of political stance on it.
I understand I too may fall victim to shaming certain behaviors, but the key is in noticing you're doing it and reeling yourself in. Life is about happy mediums, not extremes.
Anyway, that's just my take.

~oOo~
The sun is hanging low in the sky, showering the earth in romantic orange light. A garden in full bloom, the smell of roses and lavender mixing with the delicious smells of the barbecue. The buzzing of the bees around the lavender is drowned out by human chat and laughter. A gathering of thirty people fills said garden. It’s a birthday party for the owner of the house, obviously. His name is Phil, not that it matters. It’s also only slightly important to know that his guests are family and friends, including his father and father-in law, his wife and his 20-year-old daughter. The much more interesting people are standing a bit away from the gathering, near the garden pond, beers in hand, watching the other guests.
“A shame, isn’t it?” Hawley says, the birthday boy’s father-in-law.
“What?” asks Bob, the birthday boy’s father.
“Nicci. Didn’t you hear she wants to become a nun?”
Bob nods.
“Oh that, yes. A shame. Such a bright girl, could have gotten anywhere in life. Instead she locks up her mind in a monastery.”
“Yeah, well. That too, I suppose. But that tight little body hidden under one of those hideous bags-”
“It’s called a Habit.”
“Whatever. It just drives tears in my eyes.”
Hawley shakes his head, taking a big gulp of beer. It’s not his first.
The girl in question walks through the garden, her long strawberry-blonde hair dancing in the summer breeze, the skirt of her white summer dress billowing around her calves.
“God, can you remember the last time you had such a tight little body underneath you?”
“Last year, Thailand.”
Hawley and Bob exchange a meaningful look.
“Bareback?” Bob inquires.
“Are you crazy? I might be old but that doesn’t mean I want to die with my dick falling off.”
Hawley chuckles.
“Bareback in a virgin cunt…oh yeah. That’s what it’s all about.”
“You are very philosophical tonight.”
The old friends exchange a look and a chuckle.
Then a long sigh from both of them. For minutes their eyes follow the innocent young woman soon-to-be-nun, watch the fabric caress her perky B-cup tits and the taut little nipples.
“Why are those young nipples always stiff?” Hawley muses loudly.
“Why is she never wearing bras?” Bobs counters.
“What for? Those nuns are not gonna play with them, so…or are they?”
They chuckle and imagine a lesbian nun orgy - naturally. Which makes their old cocks twitch in their pants. And Nicci’s lovely little arse does the rest.
To their luck – and her doom – she spots her granddaddies and comes over to them, both men looking at her bouncing little tits as she approaches.
“Why are you so far away, grandpas?”
She kisses both on the mouth. They’ve always done it like this.
Bob takes her in his arm, his big hand stroking up and down her back until it comes to rest right above that lovely arse.
She’s warm from the sun, her soft young body snuggled against his. She can smell her perfume – cherry blossom. Her long hair tickles his bare arm. Bob lowers his hand and begins lazily rubbing the left cheek of her arse. Nicci doesn’t say anything. Then again, he has done it before, always taken more liberty than a good grandfather should. As Nicci chats with her other granddaddy, Bob can’t keep his mind off the fact that soon this beauty would be lost to mankind, that her virgin pussy would never see cock and eventually dry up without having been shagged properly.
It’s such a shame. Such a terrible, terrible shame…
“What something to drink, darling?”
“Oh, that would be lovely. A coke?”
Bob nods and leaves. He returns with a coke, spiked with vodka. It just happened. But he keeps doing it. Luckily, Nicci doesn’t notice. And soon she is giggling, her cheeks are glowing and she dangerously sways.
“Are you alright, honey?” Hawley asks then. It takes only one glance at Bob to realize what he has been doing. The old cock in his trousers raises his head.
“I think you should lie down, babydoll.”
They lead her away from the party and into the house, up the stairs to the room in her attic. They feel her up on the way, Nicci needing support. They have already undone half the buttons on the back of her dress when they reach her room.
“Here, baby, let us help you with your dress.”
Nicci only giggles and holds on to one of her grandfather’s shoulders while the other brushes her hair to her front – not without cupping her breast – and undoes the the rest of her buttons that go all the way down to her arse.
“Such a good girl”, Hawley praises her and pulls the dress off her shoulders when Bob is done.
Those perky little breasts, perfectly round and firm little apples with tiny pink nipples on top, is all Hawley sees for a moment.
“Fuck”, he can’t help but breathe.
“Grandpa! No cursing!”
“Sorry, my love. Come, lie down on your bed.”
It’s only a mattress on the floor. Nicci has given away most of her stuff, cleansing her mind and soul from the need to possess, as she had phrased it. It is certainly easier for them like this.
As soon as she is sprawled on the mattress, Nicci’s grandfathers begin their sinful seduction. Bob has already laid down next to her and is stroking her flat belly with only his fingertips, sliding up and down, further up and around her tits, causing her nipples to harden, and all the way down to her white cotton knickers, grazing the mound and the little cleft.
“Sleep, dolly. Your granddaddy’s will take good care of you.”
Nicci smiles with her eyes closed. Hawley joins them now, the terry cloth belt of her bathrobe in his hands. Carefully he takes her arms and places them above her head where he ties her wrists together. The ends of the belt are tied around the foot of her wardrobe.
Hawley has to rub his cock through his trousers at this sight.
Yes, he thinks.
He and Bob undress now, neither of them being shy, both their cocks admired by the lady. One is longer, the other is thicker. Both are already hard, the taboo of the situation adding to the fuel that is Nicci’s perfect body.
One granddaddy on either side of the dozing girl, they explore the tight young body. Hawley, always been a tits man, sucks on the hard little nipple before he swallows almost all of that young breast. Bob is kissing his way down her belly and hooks his fingers into her knickers, pulling them down, oggling every inch of revealed skin with a fast beating hard.
“Halleluja”, he comments as the pussy is exposed. “She’s bald, Hawley. Our little nun shaves her pure little cunt.”
Impatiently he tears the knickers off her body. Nicci stirs when he opens her legs.
Her pussy is pink and puffy and the outer lips open with a smack.
“Oh yes. Fuck yes. You’re doing great Hawley. Your granddaughter really loves what you’re doing to her.”
A little clear drop runs out of the unfucked hole. Innocent little Nicci is wet. Bob’s mouth waters and he lies down quickly, positioning himself right in front of that beautiful pussy. For almost a minute he watches the juice sticking to her lips while Hawley is soiling their granddaughter’s tits with his saliva, sucking and nibbling and licking them like there is no tomorrow, all the while pulling at his cock.
“I want to fuck her, Bob”, he groans against her skin all of a sudden.
“I’m so fucking horny. My cock needs that puss.”
“Patience, old friend.”
“Why? She’s asleep. She won’t notice.”
Ah, yes. The thought of fucking her unconscious is tempting. But-
“Imagine what pleasure awaits if she is awake and we get her to like it. Good bye monastery, hello living with her grandfathers.”
Hawley contemplates, his mouth grazing her nipple and his tongue circling around it. He looks up at her serene face as he sucks at her tit.
“Okay. But if this doesn’t work, there is hell to pay.”
“Trust me, old boy. Her little pussy is already drooling. Go wake her up.”
Hawley hesitates only a second. Then his mouth is by her ear and calls her name. He has to do so a couple of times, his tongue licking her earlobe while his old hand massages her tit.
“Wake up, baby. Your granddaddy’s want to play with you. We want to be all nice to you, darling…we want to fuck your little pussy real nice, baby.”
Hawley can’t help it. He is so fucking horny.
He kisses her, not one of those harmless pecks, but actually works his way into her mouth. When he twists her nipple harder and harder, she stirs.
“Hello”, he grins down at her as she opens her eyes.
“Grandpa?”
“Mhm.”
She wakes up and wants to move her arms – but she can’t.
Blinking several times she looks up and sees that she is tied up.
“What is going on?”
“It’s playtime, baby.”
To show her what he means he claims her left breast with his mouth.
His tongue is flickering over her nipple as her eyes widen and she fully awakens.
“Oh my God! What are you doing?”
She squirms and tries to close her legs, but Bob is a smart guy and has already pinned them down. There’s no way in hell this deliciously smelling pussy gets away now.
“Just relax, baby”, he soothes her as she keeps squirming.
“You want this.”
“What?! No! This is sin! This is incest! God, please stop, grandpas!”
Hawley only moans and sucks on the other tit.
“Oh, stop your silly church talk. We won’t stand idly by while you rot away in a monastery. You belong in the world, love. With your grandfathers who love you so much more than Jesus ever could…and in so many more ways.”
The wardrobe aches as she pulls at her tie roughly.
“No! Please, please stop this! I want to become a nun!”
Bob can hear the tears in her eyes.
“Not after tonight, babydoll. We’ll show you what you really want.”
Without further ado he buries his head in her cunt.
Nicci screams.
Hawley covers her mouth with his hand and lets her scream while her body tries to wrestle them off. But they continue anyway, Hawley nibbling at her breasts while Bob is eating her out, groaning into that puffy virgin cunt and drinking her flowing juices.
“Please! Please stop! Ah! No! I don’t- Ah!- I don’t want this!”
Her legs are shaking. Bob is flicking his tongue over that swollen cherry. Her breathing grows shallow and she stems her feet into the mattress. Bob knows what’s coming and he places a finger at her entrance, rubbing it and slowly pushing inside.
Fuck, she is tight.
Awesome.
When he’s all in he bends his finger, searching for the rough patch of skin. Nicci’s shudder tells him he found it.
“I’ll make you come now, baby”, he groans into her pussy, “your granddaddy is going to give you an orgasm.”
“No! Please no!”
He rubs the spot.
“No! No! NOOOOO!”
Hawley has to cover her mouth again when she comes screaming.
Bob pulls out his finger – which isn’t that easy with her tight hole clenching around him – and covers her pussy with his mouth, drinking up the juices, plowing through her slit with his tongue and shoving it into her convulsing channel to prolong her ecstasy.
“There you go, baby. Was that so bad?”
Nicci is crying now, but her body has stopped fighting. Her legs are bent and spread, allowing her granddaddy to keep licking the juicy puss all he wants.
“Oh baby, don’t cry.”
Hawley is kissing her tears away.
“We love you, baby. We love you so much we can’t bare the thought of you leaving us. Please, baby. Please stay with us.”
He kisses her lips again and again, the tip of his tongue licking over her bottom lip, begging for entrance.
Helping his old friend out, Bob lets his tongue flicker over that delicious clit and pushes his finger back into that tight hole.
Nicci moans and her hips roll.
Whether she likes it or not, she’s just as horny as they are.
In the end, Hawley gets his french kiss.
“Oh darling, I love you so much”, it bursts out of him and before Bob can protest Hawley’s leg is in his face, pushing him away so that he can roll on top of her.
Bob sighs, but let’s it happen. Hawley has always been her favorite. And apparently he is in love with her. So he let’s them have their moment.
“Please, granddaddy. Stop”, Nicci whispers but keeps her legs spread so Hawley can settle his hips between them.
“I want you so much, Nicci. I love you. Please don’t leave me. Never leave me.”
Bob watches how Hawley looks down at his granddaughter and takes his cock in hand to stroke the angry red head through her wet slit.
Nicci gasps and turns her head way, closing her eyes. Her toes curl into the mattress. Yet, she doesn’t try to close her legs.
“I won’t let anyone take you away from me. Not even God. I will fuck you, Nicci. I will fuck you so good you will never want to leave me.”
With that he begins pushing his cock into her. Slowly, carefully. Certainly much more carefully than Bob would have been.
Nicci is panting and biting her lip, her face red from crying and excitement.
“No…no…”, she protests, only a whisper now. Then she moans and pulls her legs to her body.
The turning point.
“Good girl. Such a good girl you are”, Hawley praises her and with one hard thrust, Nicci is not a virgin anymore.
She cries out.
Hawley fills her tight pussy to the hilt, groaning into her mouth as he claims it.
“You’re mine, baby. I love you. I love you so much, Nicci.”
He begins pushing into her, slowly at first but soon getting faster until the sound of their skin slapping together fills the room.
Nicci is moaning underneath her gramps, her face full of pleasure now.
“See, I told you this is what you want”, Bob commented when he rejoined them, his mouth at her ear before he kisses her, her tongue meeting his eagerly.
“You’re a little slut, not a nun”, he grins as he sits up and holds his cock out to her. She has her eyes closed, her granddaddy fucking her too nicely, so Bob places a hand in her neck and pushes her mouth over his cock. He rubs his length on her tongue until she begins sucking his dick.
“There you go, sweetie.”
The fallen angel is quite a sight; her bleeding pussy getting fucked harder and harder while that heavenly mouth sucking cock like a pro.
When Hawley is about to burst he stops with a grunt, impaling her to the hilt, and licks her tits so they are all wet and glistening again. Nicci’s hips begin rolling. Her pussy clenches around him.
Hawley moans into her skin. The begging little angel puts him to pieces.
He should pull out, so close to the edge. He doesn’t want to come, yet.
But, fuck, she keeps rolling her hips.
Oh, he’s never been good at denying her things. He always gives her what she wants.
Pushing his knees into the mattress he thrusts into her as hard and fast as he can, watching her lovely tits bounce. This and the sight of her sucking Bob’s cock is hurling him over the edge and into the abyss of bliss.
With a groan he squirts his old grandpa seed into her hungry little pussy, more and more with each thrust until he is all spent.
As soon as he pulls out his mouth finds her pussy. Two fingers does he shove into that cum-filled hole, stuffing her womb with his seed while he sucks on the swollen cherry.
She comes screaming against the cock in her mouth.
With pride and satisfaction Hawley watches that pussy clench and swallow his cum, sucking it into her womb.
Fuck, he wants to impregnate her so bad. He can’t keep shoving his seed into her.
But his Nicci loves it, writhing and moaning and sucking on Bob’s balls.
Gently now, Hawley cleans her pussy with his tongue, his hands tenderly stroking her thighs, her flat belly and those magnificent tits.
When Bob pulls his old cock out of her young mouth, Nicci is panting. She licks her lips and gasps, her granddaddy licking her good. So good. She can feel his wet tongue slide through her labia, lazily circling the clit before it splits her inner lips and enters her burning hole. She hurts down there, but the pain is dulled out by her granddaddy showing her his love. His familiar hands roam her body, every stroke a worship, and it makes her feel so hot and wonderful.
Oh, she is sure she will go to hell for this. Giving herself to her grandfathers! Incest! Oh, she will never be forgiven.
Nicci throws her head to the side, biting her lips.
Her hips roll against her grandfather’s fingers that he is pushing into her again. She doesn’t want to do this. Somehow she has lost control over her body. It has stopped fighting her sinning grandfathers completely, instead it’s writhing and opening up for them to lure them to do even more forbidden things to her.
“Come on, baby. We have to get grandpa Hawley’s cock back up again. Let’s give him a little show.”
The ties on her wrist get untied and grandpa Bob rolls her around on her belly with a sly grin. A pillow is shoved under her hip and her arse rises like the sun. Then Bob spreads her legs with his knees. His mouth waters when he sees both holes in front of him.
“God, baby, your arse is out of this world. And that puss, ugh, don’t get me started. You are beautiful. Grandpa Hawley’s little angel. That’s what he called you, remember?”
He grins at Hawley who is sitting on the floor next to Nicci’s head, stroking her long hair, his cock lying soft on his leg, still glistening with pussy juice.
Bob strokes Nicci’s arse, massages her full cheeks with both his hands as he continues to whisper to his granddaughter.
“All your life we have been there for you, loved you, guided you. We know what is best for you, baby. We love you. We can make you feel good. So much better than praying could ever do for you.  You know we’re right. Grandpa Hawley’s cock felt good, didn’t it? So big and long, filling you up, stretching your little puss. You liked that, didn’t you?”
Hawley and Nicci exchange a look and Hawley smiles. He bends down to kiss her and she lifts herself up on her elbows to kiss him back.
“Good girl”, Bob praises her and watches how Hawley’s hand cups Nicci’s tit and massages it.
Now Bob climbs on top of her, his hands on the mattress on either side of her, his knees next to hers. Rubbing his throbbing cock through the cleft of her arse he licks her back, his tongue sliding up and down her spine.
“Ask me to fuck you, babygirl”, he whispers hoarsely into her ear. “Tell me you want our cocks more than God.”
Slowly, Bob pushes his cock into his granddaughter. Nicci moans into Hawley’s mouth, breaking the kiss. She looks over her shoulder, her eyes glazed over, her lips parted. Her hand finds Hawley’s.
Bob retreats, only to push back in again, teasingly slow. He fights to keep his eyes open, her hole so fucking tight and wet. It takes some self-control, but he pulls out again, making her moan once more.
“Ask me”, he whispers. “And know that I will take you roughly, baby. I will make that pussy burn like hellfire. I will cut off your little angel wings by fucking you so hard you will cry. You will be ours, baby. Forever. We will live together in sin, will fuck you whenever we want. I know you want that, too. Just ask me.”
Fuck, the heat of her pussy is driving him insane. He wants to shove his cock back where it belongs. But he has to control himself, ignore the juice sticking to his cock for a few more seconds. By the way she looks at him he knows she will stay with them. All their dreams will come true. She just has to jump into the abyss, leave the light and come to the darkness.
Bob inwardly snorts. Normally, he isn’t that poetic.
After what feels like an eternity, Nicci looks from Bob to Hawley and back to Bob again.
“Please, grandaddy. F-Fuck me.”
Both grandfathers feel like they are floating on air.
“Good girl. Such a good little girl”, Bob praises her and kisses her shoulder. His lips wander upwards, pretend to kiss her only to bite into her shoulder.
Nicci’s gasp turns into a breathless whimper as Bob thrusts his cock into her little pussy.
One thrust, two thrusts. Hard. Deep. Accompanied with high-pitched moans.
Then Bob let’s go of her shoulder, his teeth marks visible on her delicate skin and takes up a position that is more ideal for what he wants to do.
“You better hold her, buddy”, he advises his friend and fellow grandfather, who immediately takes her hand again and strokes her head.
Thrust. Thrust. Thrust.
Harder. Faster.
Her arse is shaking.
Faster again.
She moans and lifts her arse to help him push deeper into that slick, tight cunt.
Deeper. All the way in.
Faster.
Faster again.
He’s lucky that his hips are still in good condition.
Now he’s pistoling into that little pussy, making that hole smack loudly.
She is so fucking wet. He can go even faster.
He’s sweating. His heartbeat is drumming twice as fast as his rutting hips.
He’s like a dog.
‘Bloodhound Bob’, that’s how the girls called him back in his days. He had a fetish for fucking a girl during her period back then.
Ah good times.
Never in a million years would he have thought he would have this much fun again.
To be honest, he’d never thought he’d be able to fuck like that again; like a damned mad dog.
But he can.
It feels fantastic.
That pussy is heaven. With every minute the channel opens up to him a bit more and he can go faster and deeper until he has reached his limit. Then it’s just amazing.
He presses his hands on Nicci’s shoulders to shift his weight. Bob wants her to feel his cock in her cervix.
A scream tells him she does.
Nicci, his angelic granddaughter, is holding on to her grandpa Hawley as she whimpers and cries and screams.
Of course she tries to close her legs a few times. She’s new to this. Bob forgives her. His legs won’t let her do it, anyway. She’s all open and fuckable for him, that little puss.
Suddenly the tight hole is convulsing, milking him. Then Nicci screams out, her orgasm having reached her vocal chords.
Bob puffs out some air. Damn, that cunt is milking him hard and so good…
He squeezes his eyes shut, feels every drop of sweat on his back, his skin getting all sensitive. His balls tighten and even though he tries to stop it, it all goes too fast.
With a war cry he shoots his load, his rhythm broken, rutting rather clumsily as his sperm squirts into his granddaughter’s pussy.
For a second there he thinks he might get a heart attack.
Luckily, he doesn’t.
And when he is all spent, all he feels is bliss.
With a sigh he falls down next to Nicci and lazily slaps her lifted arse.
Gasping for air he looks at her, her face only inches away. Her cheeks are wet with tears and her face is red. Then her eyes flutter shut as another orgasm rages through her body, no one even touching her.
Bob chuckles as he watches her gasp and quiver.
“That’s my girl.”
They remain in that position for a while. Nicci keeps her legs spread, her pussy burning like hell indeed, and shivers every time she feels a load of cum drip out of her hole.
Her entire body is buzzing with electricity. Her skin is sensitive, her breasts are tingling and despite the soreness inside her she feels this pull in her abdomen, feels the emptiness of her pussy. It’s the only thing that feels wrong now. Nicci is past the point of reason. Her body has taken control.
She has fallen to sin.
And she finds that sin is much more enjoyable than virtue.
It is her that initiates the next act of sin.
She lifts herself on all fours and crawls to her granddaddy’s hips. She swallows his soiled cock like a starving woman. With her eyes closed she licks of their mixed body fluids until the taste is all cock again. Her grandpa’s cock stiffens in her mouth within a minute and his hand wanders into her hair to guide her.
Not too long and she feels hands on her back, stroking up and cupping both her tits. The fingers twist her nipples. Something hard and hot pokes her ass, her thigh, then her slit. It takes a few more pokes, then she is filled again, slow and careful, like she knew her grandpa Hawley would be.
It hurts and she whimpers against the tasty cock in her mouth. A loving kiss is placed on her back, the hard cock inside her pushing in and out slowly, almost tenderly. Grandpa Hawley is careful not to hurt her, makes her feel good by teasing her nipples and rubbing her clit between two fingers.
It makes her suck that cock harder.
Bob pushes her head down and his tip enters her throat. Nicci is lucky that her gag reflex is not very strong. Bob appreciates it with a low groan. He can feel that she wants to please him, sucks him hard, using her tongue on both shaft and head, then only sucking on the head when she realizes he likes that a lot.
Spontaneously, Bob decides to rob under Nicci so he can lick her pussy while she blows him. Hawley low hanging balls slap against his forehead a couple of times, but Bob doesn’t mind at that point. The smell of his granddaughter and the taste of her pussy is worth it. He’s moving his hips now, fucking her mouth. Nicci endures it bravely, only gagging a few times when Bob is naughty and pushes particularly deep. Soon, he feels the second orgasm build up.
“I’m close”, he announces to the others.
“Fuck, me too”, Hawley growls above him.
“Seems like you’re in for a treat, baby. Let’s all come together.”
Listening to their moans, Bob matches his thrusts and the speed of his tongue.
“Ladies first”, Hawley groans through gritted teeth.
Oh, Bob knows what he’s trying to do. They all say he is the bad one, but trying to impregnate your granddaughter; he’d say that’s worse.
But he obliges. With his skilled tongue and a few pinches in her nipples he sends his granddaughter over the edge. Hawley follows suit, pumping his seed into the milking cunt. That’s Bob’s cue to turn his head away. Grabbing his moaning granddaughter’s head he thrusts into her fast and hard a few times. When Nicci gags he comes, steadying her head so she has to drink it all.
When he’s done and releases her she coughs and gasps for air. Bob likes her face red and her lips swollen.
Even though she breaks down on the mattress Hawley keeps his cock inside her, languidly moving back and forth. Carefully he rolls her back onto her back and covers her body with his, taking his softening cock in his hand and pushing it back inside. Nicci moans sweetly and wraps her arms around his shoulders. They kiss long and deep, Hawley’s old hips never seizing to move. This way he manages to re-stiffen his cock. Soon he’s fucking her again, suckling at her tit whilst doing so.
Bob watches them, rubbing his soft wet cock. Nicci’s blissful face is such a turn-on. Not to mention that gorgeous body and the wet sounds of her sweet cunt as it is being fucked.
Again Hawley whispers how much he loves her as he hooks his elbows into the hollows of her knees. Her arse is lifted off the mattress and Bob has excellent view of that old cock stuffing their granddaughter. Nicci’s legs dangle in the air and she has her arms above her head, holding on at the edge of the mattress as she looks down and watches her grandpa fuck her fast and deep now. She is moaning and gasping shamelessly loud now. It doesn’t take a minute in this position to make her come again.
Bob’s eyes fall on the little pucker as it twitches in the rhythm of the orgasm. His mouth waters.
A hole yet unexplored.
After Hawley empties himself inside the young cunt once more, Bob takes over.
“Back on your belly”, he orders her and helps her trembling body to roll over. Nicci lifts her arse voluntarily, her upper body still on the mattress. She’s looking at him, one finger between her trembling lips. He gives her a sly grin and pushes index and ring finger deep into her pussy. The hole clenches around him and she whimpers.
“Does it hurt?”
She nods.
“Poor baby. Do you want us to stop?”
She shakes her head.
“Good. I think there is still some sperm left in our balls. Wouldn’t you say, Hawley?”
“There will always be sperm for my little angel”, the old man lying next to the young beauty replies and strokes her back.
“Excellent.”
Bob pulls out his fingers. Then he begins rubbing the wet tips on the little anus. Nicci gasps and her eyes flutter close.
He has to admit, he hasn’t expected this reaction. In his experience most women freak out when the anus gets involved. But his granddaughter is one of a kind. He should have known she wouldn’t disappoint him.
Carefully, he pushes the index finger past the muscle and into the tiny hole. Nicci moans and a visible shiver runs through her.
“Just when I thought you’re all pussy. Good girl. You are the best, baby.”
He begins finger-fucking her ass, slowly so she can used to it, stretching her hole. To his surprise she is totally relaxed and very soon he inserts the middle finger, pushing deeper and faster.
Nicci fucking loves it.
“Have you been playing with your arse, baby?” Bob can’t help but ask.
The blush that explodes on her cheeks tells him everything. He chuckles.
“Naughty little angel. Tsk tsk.”
He bends down and pushes the tip of his tongue against her pucker. Nicci lets out a loud moan.
Rimming her arse his great fun. The noises she makes are hilarious and damn sexy. It doesn’t take long to get Hawley’s and Bob’s cocks hard again.
Bob slickens her arse with spit and pussy juice – which is drooling out of her hole now – and when she is all squirmy and needy, he turns to his friend.
“I assume you want the pussy?”
Hawley’s eyes widen, realizing he’s been found out. Still, he nods.
“Hop onto your grandpa Hawley, babydoll. Now you’ll learn what double penetration means.”
Hawley is super excited when his granddaughter climbs on top of him. His hands are all over her and he kisses her lips, neck and tits. His cock is inside her before Bob even gets to kneel between their knees.
Horny bastard, Bob thinks but doesn’t say anything.
“Keep still now, babydoll, or this will hurt you.”
With Hawley sucking and pressing his head between her perky tits Nicci tries to move as little as possible as her other grandfather begins pushing the with spit slicked tip of his cock into her arse.
The hole squeezes him tightly and Bob puffs out some air.
“Relax, baby. It will feel fantastic. Trust me. Deep breaths.”
They breathe together a few times, then he feels the muscle around his head losen up enough so he can push further.
Nicci is panting and gasping with every inch he fills her.
“Oh God”, she breathes, “it doesn’t fit, granddaddy. You’re tearing me apart.”
“It will be fine. Just enjoy, love. Do you like grandpa Hawley suckling your tits? Wouldn’t you like to kiss him again?”
The distraction works and Nicci bends down to kiss her beloved grandpa. This makes it possible to push the rest of Bob’s cock inside that tight little ass.
All three of them moan when it’s done.
Without further explanation Bob begins to move his hips. He can feel the cock on the other side of the thin wall which is separating them. He steadies her hips with his hands and sets up a slow pace, her arse being stretched more and more. At one point Nicci relaxes completely and Bob can feel the tight grip on his cock losen up.
“That’s my girl.”
They fuck her slowly at first, but Nicci begs for more sooner than anyone as anticipated. Within mintues the room is filled with moans and groans and whimpers, and the divine sound of skin slapping together and smacking cunt.
Nicci comes two times before she milks the seed out of her grandfathers.
They both keep fucking her until the last drop is stuffed in both lovely holes.
After Bob has pulled out Hawley buries his granddaughter beneath him and lifts her arse, stuffing her pussy a few more times, trying to get his seed into that fertile young womb.
Nicci doesn’t mind. She lets him use her body however he pleases.
Bob wonders if she knows what he’s doing.
Possibly not.
Maybe she will find out in a few weeks. She will live with them by that time, so it doesn’t really matter.
Of course Hawley and her will move in with him. Bob has a house, two towns away. His children never visit. There they will live their sinful life. Maybe raise a child together. Whatever. Bob doesn’t care, really. He just wants to fuck his beautiful granddaughter in all her holes until he dies – happily.

Boop boop! Some BL questions cause i'm curious hehe
~ which series would say is severely underrated and would deserve a rerelease with proper promo?
~ if you had to pick only BLs from one country, which one would it be? (of course this country would produce as many shows as you would want to watch)
~ which settings would you want to see more of?
~ what's your favorite among the shows airing at the moment?
~ if you could cast some mainstream actors to play in a BL, who would you pick? what would be the story?
Hi Anon ~ Thank you for the ask!
Question - which series would say is severely underrated and would deserve a rerelease with proper promo?
Answer – Not Me --- they didn’t promote this series well enough to their audiences. I liked that the show was about activism and justice in our society and maybe because it showcased protesting and people fighting for equal rights, that this might be the reason why it wasn’t promoted like other BL series.  I also really liked the Yok x Dan story line - If you have never seen it, check it out.
Question - If you had to pick only BLs from one country, which one would it be? (of course this country would produce as many shows as you would want to watch)
Answer: Thailand - as there are a variety of Thai BL for every type: and a lot of the shows I have enjoyed watching so far are Thai BL.’s!!
Question - which settings would you want to see more of?
Answer – I’d like to see more work settings. (Experiences after college) more of the day-to-day life of adults.  **And if I could add - I would like to see less rich guy and poor guy pairing. Why not have a show where neither of them are the boss and they both are from the same /similar background both in education and money.
Question - what's your favorite among the shows airing at the moment?
Answer – IF you have seen my page you know this answer …but I will write it here for those who haven’t…Love In The Air… - This is one show that I actually like both couples, and I have lost count how many times I have rewatched certain parts of any episode of any show (except Bad Buddy) while the show was still airing, Yes I like this show that much. Side note -- I need a bestie like Sky in my life!!
Question - if you could cast some mainstream actors to play in a BL, who would you pick? what would be the story?
Answer – I would love to see anyone one of these three - Kang Tae-oh, Yang Yang and or Lai Kuan-lin (I love these three and while I am not sure if any of them have been in a BL before I don’t recall seeing them in any of the BL shows I have  seen so far)  As to the story --??? Not sure on this one BUT if it could be something like I describe above…where none of them are the boss and they are from the same /similar background both in education and money.
Thanks again for the ask and I hope you have a great week!
