Some more studies of Auntie Chen and Helen from Turning Red. I'm planning to put this project on the side, so I can tackle some smaller projects first. However, I'm feeling a lot more excited about this! I hope to have this done before the end of the year.
One thing I need to work on is looser drawings. But also some more careful studies on proportion because the pixar style is very specific. I don't think I quite nailed it here so i'll need to do some more later. Plus perhaps some different outfits for these badass ladies.
Apologies for the heavy stuff last week. I'm in a lot better place now and feeling much more at peace after having made that little animatic.

my day of death will be the day tim brings lucy home for a family dinner date with his sister, and to meet his nephews because it’s the first time he’s introduced them to someone since his divorce.
#*and this is icarly!#the rookie#genny bradford#tim bradford#lucy chen#chenford#otp: you know me so well#tim would be so nervous about it too and he'd repeatedly warn her of how rambunctious his nephews can be#from what i know about his nephew tyler based off these last two episodes#he definitely sounds like he's one of those kids who interrogates anyone new coming into his life#genny and tim are sitting around the table mortified at the rapid fire of invase questions he's hurling at lucy#but she just laughs and answers all of them as she gradually starts to win him over#i mean c'mon? this is nothing compared to a 'tim test'#there's even a moment between just the two of them where he asks lucy if she's gonna be his new auntie#he even confides in her by the end of the date that he likes her and i quote 'better than that blonde lady' 🥺💗

Piper and Cam both get visits from their respective family members. Piper’s grandpa Brant comes to see her, and he gets sappy as soon as he sees his granddaughter. "Pipes, you're growing into such an amazing young woman and your grandpops Brent and I couldn't be prouder." He says, and Piper smiles, blinking back tears as well. "Thanks grandpa." She says, and he smiles at her. "He wanted to be here too, but we just got Rosette spayed and someone has to stay with her." He adds, and Piper nods. He and Piper head out to the backyard to chat and catch up.
Meanwhile, Cam's auntie Iseul is over too. She gives Cam a bear hug and Cam smiles. "Cammy, how are you?" She asks. "Good, auntie Is. How are you?" She says, smiling at her favorite auntie. "Good." Iseul's eyes sparkle and Cam grins. "I bet, I saw those cute photos you took with auntie Gracie." She teases, and Iseul blushes. They sit down at the couch, and Cam teases Iseul about her girlfriend Grace while Iseul teases her back about Piper.
"Speaking of Pipes, where is she?" Iseul asks. "Her grandpa came over so she's chatting with him." Cam says, and Iseul nods. "So, how's college been?" Iseul asks. "A bit tricky at first but I think I've gotten the hang of it." Cam admits. "Yeah, you really have to discipline yourself and stay on top of things. I remember it was tough for me for the first two weeks, but I met Megs and she helped me study and find a way to make it fun for us. I don't know how I would've got through the first two semesters without her." She says, and Cam grins. "You know, you always bring up auntie Megs*." Cam says, and Iseul blushes. "I have a lot of great memories with her, plus she's the kind of person you meet that you connect with right away and wonder where they've been all your life, platonically in our case." Iseul says lightly, and Cam gives her auntie a scrutinizing look, but nods. Cam sometimes gets the suspicion that her auntie Iseul is still a little bit in love with Megan but hopes she's wrong.
#ts4#mysims#Brant Hecking#Iseul Kang#Cameron Kang#Piper Feldman-Chen#*Megan is Piper's auntie so Cam calls her auntie Megan too

or, to keep with the theme of defunct* shows, rosehaven
#*is mad as hell coming back????? is shaun leaving the show or is the show ending?#no but i say rosehaven because could you imagine david quirk on the show#he'd be so good#his topic would just be like 'anything and everything'#'aunty donna party quirks'#his topic would be something really abstract though#and celia and luke...no wait i think celia has been on it before#and then either daniel's mum or ainsley/grace as the fourth contestant#ainsley/grace would have an expert topic of medicine#luke would choose real estate#oh no sorry luke would have to do economics#i mean this is all great content for a fanfic#i've already written one fic featuring hard quiz ((((mihocek))))#don't think that i won't write another#or do fisk#kitty flanagan would have a topic like junk food#and she would win obviously#aaron chen would do like video games or apple crumble or tax accounting idk what's he into#marty.... dunno what he likes besides beer - but he's on radio so it's hard to know whether that's just a persona given to him or real#julia zemiro would have to do like mediation - no that's the wrong word#whatever it is that she does in fisk season 2

Continued from here
@bloominghost
“I’m doing very well, Auntie~!” Chen smiled widely, walking straight up to Yukari and nuzzling against her side a little. Just like a cat greeting someone they hadn’t seen for a while.
“How’re you doing? How’re things going down here~?”
#bloominghost#it's something I've always had a headcanon for#either A. Yukari is the sort who has her 'children' refer to her close friends as 'auntie'#or B. Chen thought they were related when younger and even when corrected upon it it had become too much of a habit#either that or Chen just views Yuyuko as an auntie and addresses her as such#she also sometimes addresses Yukari and Ran as 'mom' but only when stressed out or upset or sleepy :P

Saw your post about jaunes extended family. Now I think we need to see _NPR's family
_NPR Extended Family
Please bear in mind that That was only a small part of Jaune's very, VERY big family tree
~Nora~
Neptune: God I hate the ocean.
Sun: Calm down, It's not like there's anything nearby that'll eat you.
Nora: Zippy! C'mon boy! I got your Favorite! Electric Eel!

Neptune: ...
Sun: ... Let's- Let's head back to ... anywhere but the coast.
Neptune: Good- Good plan, Good plan!

Poison Ivy (DC comics): *Tending to Plants*She's out walking Bruce. What do you need?
Pyrrha: Oh, I just wanted Advice on getting a Boy's attention.
Poison Ivy: Pyrrha, Dear, You are one of the strongest fighters of your generation, and you have the power of magnestism. Anyone who doesn't respect you should fear you, and those that do neither shouldn't be able to mistreat you. You could likely ask this boy to walk off a cliff and he'd do it.
Poison Ivy: You could run this world Dear, and few could stand in your way.
Pyrrha: I- I- I think I should ask my sister- Thank you for the Confidence boost though?
Poison Ivy: You're a poor liar when it comes to yourself. Chin up dear, your Tiara's falling.

Pyrrha: I- I know he will-
Monika: Then bring him here, and have him prove it! We wouldn't want some little heartbreaker now would we?
Pyrrha: o-okay Mony. I'm going to tell Makima about it!

Makima (CSM): He sounds Cute. Almost like a dog.
Pyrrha: He does have a certain puppy-doggishness to him, yes, but he's very smart!
Makima: If he was smart, then he would've jumped at the chance to be with you by now
Pyrrha: Well what if he's just scared - he knows how I feel about how the public treats me, so he's also ... Yeah. Yeah! I'm gonna confess to him!
Makima: I don't know-
Pyrrha: No! I'm going to tell him how I feel! Thanks Makima! *Pyrrha leaves*
Makima: ... Shit.
Monika: Nice going. Now we have to compete with her too.
Makima: ... It's easy to beat an opponent who doesn't realize they're playing a game, Little Sister.
Monika: I'd usually suggest removing the player but Pyrrha is ... Different.
Makima: Yes, She is. We'll need to be coercive about this.
Monika: When am I not?
Makima: ... Get out of my room.
~Ren~
Ren: Good morning 'Uncle'
Iroh (ALTA): pah! There's no need for the emphasis. I'd love to be your Uncle, but if you don't feel like you're my nephew, then Don't bother Lying. What's wrong?
Ren: Nothing. Is it too much to want to come see my mentor?
Iroh: No, but I can tell there is still a storm in your heart.
Ren: ... I would not like to talk about it right now.
Iroh: Alright then. I could put tea on. Whatever you'd like.
Ren: Nightshade, if it isn't too much trouble.
Iroh: Daring today, aren't we? Very well then!
~~~~~
Ren: Alex! It's good to see you again! You look ... Happy.
Alex Chen (LiS: True Colors): *Gives Ren a hug* I am. I've- I found someone. It's been wonderful - Her names Steph! You look good too- I can tell you're in a better spot than you were when we were kids.
Ren: Me and Nora have a big Family now- teammates and friends. It's nice.
Alex: All it takes is a little growing up, huh?
Ren: A little growing up, a lot of support- But you knew that didn't you?
Alex: Well, you always did have sharp eyes.
Ren: ... Thanks. That means a lot. Should we get something to eat, or do you want to walk for a bit?
Alex: I'm down for whatever.
~~~~~
Ren:*Cuddling Pikachu*
Red (PKMN): ...
Ren: *Patting Charizard's head*

00:00 - Welcome
NiNi
Welcome to The Conversation About BL, aka The Brown Liquor Podcast.
Ben
And there it is. I’m Ben.
NiNi
I’m NiNi.
Ben
And we’re you’re drunk Caribbean uncle and auntie here sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs.
NiNi
Four times a year we pop in to talk about what’s going on in the BL world.
Ben
We shoot the shit about stories and all the drama going into them. I review from a queer media lens.
NiNi
And I review from a romance and drama lens.
Ben
So if you like cracked-out takes and really intense emotional analysis…
NiNi
If you like talking about artistry, industry, and the discourse…
Ben
And if you generally just love simping…
NiNi
There is a lot of simping on this podcast…
Ben
We are the show for you!
[fanfare sound]
01:23 - Introduction
Ben
And we're back. We have reviewed all of the shows under the more traditional frameworks. We've gone over which talents we were really fond of, which pairings we're really fond of, who we thought did a great job assembling a show, and what were the bangers of the year.
It's time to award the shows so good that they would have skewed the results, or in our estimation, are not primarily driven by romance in a way that makes them fit under the traditional BL criteria.
NiNi
Here in our Special Class Awards, we have three award categories, and each award category can have multiple awardees, which is why it's special. [laughs]
So our three categories are Honorable Mentions, the Sixth Man Award, and our Standout Queer Narratives Award. In Honorable Mentions, we're going to be acknowledging key contributions to the genre from various filming markets and traditions that are perhaps outside of the main and the ones that we discuss. In the Sixth Man Award, we want to acknowledge the most valuable and versatile supporting actor of the year. And under Standout Queer Narratives, we want to acknowledge queer works that are not primarily romances.
03:03 Interlude: The Beach - Moonlight (2016)
Kevin
“That breeze feel good as hell man.”
Chiron
“Yeah it do.”
Kevin
“Sometimes round the way, where we live, you can catch this same breeze. It come through the hood and it’s like everything stop for a second ‘cause everyone just wanna feel it. Everything just get quiet, you know?”
Chiron
“And it’s like all you can hear is your own heartbeat, right?”
Kevin
“Yeah…feel so good, man. “
Chiron
“So good…. “
Kevin
“Hell, shit make you want to cry, it feel so good.”
Chiron
“You cry?”
Kevin
“Nah. But it makes me want to… What you cry about?”
Chiron
“Shit, I cry so much sometimes I feel like I'ma just turn to drops.”
04:18 Honorable Mention: The Day I Loved You
NiNi
So let's start with our Honorable Mentions. And this year we have three. I'll let Ben take you through them.
Ben
The first one I want to acknowledge this year is a show from the Philippines called The Day I Loved You. [Applause sound] I don't think I ever actually managed to write about this show because you're reacting to a show that is fundamentally tragic. I remember watching it with Kyra, and we called it, like, the Nicholas Sparks BL of the year.
In this show, we have a femme boy who's kind of bullied at school but doesn't seem to care about it. He ends up developing a thing with the new hot guy at the school who's here from Singapore, and there's, like, a love triangle with his best friend. And we realize that the reason why he's been holding back romantically in this story is because he has a debilitating condition that is gonna involve him declining and losing control of his limbs and other mobility along the way. So he's leery of beginning something with someone.
The way this plays out is really beautiful. There's a richness to the way a lot of the Filipino storytelling is done that I really connect to all the time. Even when I'm not watching BL, I really like Filipino cinema when I have the opportunity to really engage with some of their work. And even though BL in the Philippines has been really struggling with the lack of investment right now.
This show is really well produced—it's available on YouTube—and takes the dynamics here very seriously. The best friend is not going to be the one who's chosen because he doesn't want his best friend, who he knows loves him, to also go through the ugliness of his decline. His suitor in this eventually pushes past some of these barriers, but the show never downplays the seriousness of Eli's condition. His condition worsens. It is not a pretty experience. But there is this beautiful amount of heart in it.
This show is the one that has stuck with me quietly all year long. I think about the show at least once a month or so, and have been trying to find a way to properly write about it. In a year where we didn't really have a lot to point to from the Philippines that we really thought a lot of folks should rally behind, this is one of the standouts that I think you all should go back and watch if you can handle a tragic romance, not unlike the experience you might have with a Nicholas Sparks movie or book.
NiNi
So, I have not seen The Day I Loved You because I feel like I am not emotionally capable of watching that right now. It's the same reason I haven't caught up on Eternal Yesterday. There are some things that I'm holding in reserve because I don't think that I have the emotional bandwidth or capacity to handle right now. But I was sort of following along while you and Kyra were doing your watch, and I am looking forward to getting around to it when I have the emotional wherewithal to stand up to the tragedy, because I do sometimes enjoy—I guess ‘enjoy’ is a strange word—but enjoy a good tragic romance.
I tend to enjoy work from the Philippines, especially when the production quality lines up with the ideas they're trying to espouse. And so, given everything that you've said about it to me up until now, it's on my list. I just don't know when I'm going to get to it.
Ben
I think the production quality is about where The Boy Foretold by the Stars is. It's slightly under Gameboys.
NiNi
I think that's a good spot to land.
Ben
The music's good, like the song that they selected for the intro is a banger. It's called Sweet + Wild by YANCO—such an excellent song.
NiNi
I love Filipino music, as you are well aware, so really looking forward to that.
Ben
It's a really excellently put together little production. There's a lot of heart in the story and it takes its characters and its conceits really seriously, in a way that I found really compelling. And I continue to be really impressed with the way the Philippines explores Catholicism and Christianity inside of BL. It's one of the unique things that the Philippines can do, and I like that they do it well consistently.
NiNi
It's one of the things that draws me to them as well, being a lapsed Catholic myself. Lapsed? Former? What's the terminology these days? Having grown up Catholic, it's one of the things that does draw me to the Philippines, and I feel like I understand a lot of what they are getting into in their narratives and in their characters because of that.
Ben
The Day I Loved You from Regal Entertainment, directed by Easy Ferrer, starring Tommy Alejandrino as Nico, Raynald Tan as Eli, and Rabin Josh as Justine.
10:26 Honorable Mention: Chen Yi and Ai Di
NiNi
Our next Honorable Mention award is not for a show. It is for a couple coming out of Taiwan from the show Kiseki: Dear To Me, Chen Yi and Ai Di. [Applause sound] It has been a long time, for me anyway, since a side couple completely took over the show from the main couple to the point that I'm kind of only slightly sure what happened to the [laughs] main couple on Kiseki? But I know for sure what happened to Chen Yi and Ai Di. [laughs]
Kiseki was a mixed bag. It was a strange year from Taiwan. Nothing really landed. They did quite a bit that I ended up, in the end, not watching. I think Ben, you watched most of it?
Ben
Unfortunately.
NiNi
It was a very strange year. The only thing that drew me in was Kiseki and then, it was a strange show. I didn't expect something like that from Lin Pei Yu. But the light in the tunnel was definitely Chen Yi and Ai Di, played by Nat Chen and Louis Chiang.
They play orphans who basically grew up inside the mafia. Chen Yi thinks he's in love with the mafia boss, while Ai Di is in love with Chen Yi. Hijinks ensue. Let's just put it that way. Hijinks ensue. And then Ai Di goes to jail for four years, but before he goes to jail, he and Chen Yi have sex while Chen Yi is, shall we say, altered? And then Ai Di goes to jail and Chen Yi is left with his feelings trying to sort of understand how he feels and where he stands with Ai Di. Then when Ai Di gets out of jail, he's pissed, and trying to keep his distance from Chen Yi. But Chen Yi has now realized how in love he is, and he's not gonna let that stand.
It is one of the crackheads ships I've ever seen. But also kind of delightful in a way? [laughs] But the important thing is that they really took over the show. I don't mean that in a critical way. I mean that of all the things that were happening on Kiseki, they were easily the most interesting.
Ben
So it was a weird year for Taiwan and part of why I wanted to talk about these two is because there's just been less activity from Taiwan and the BL front. Some of that has to do with a lot of complicating factors [laughs] we won't get into on this podcast. But in all the things released—quick aside, there is an interesting project happening right now in Taiwan in that the Friday Taiwanese BLs are being produced by a single company doing a dedicated for BL project. I don't think it's been that great personally, but it's rare that we get dedicated BL commitment in a time slot, and while I don't think the projects have been really strong, the things that Taiwan is good at remain. Like, the overall cast chemistry from Taiwan still remains the best. They are very good at getting the whole cast to believably play off of each other, even in characters who only interact once or twice in the whole show. It is always impressive and especially with the romantic and sexual chemistry. I enjoy the paired chemistry of actors from Taiwan, more [than] the other BL producing countries more often than not.
In this particular show, I think both couples had really strong performances as couples with each other. And we ended up focusing on Ai Di and Chen Yi a lot because they're the mafia boys and Louis Chiang's character wears a choker the whole time, and is always trying to murder someone, and he's shorter than everyone, and everyone loves that! Every time I see this boy getting a little bit mad, I'm like, yes! Kill them!
But they were really good. And it was funny, like, the show shifts towards the back half where we spend a great deal of time focusing on them, and they get the final shot of the show. It's so weird! This side couple legitimately won. I'm just amazed by that choice.
NiNi
A choice it definitely was. With all that said, Honorable Mention award to Chen Yi and Ai Di from Kiseki: Dear to Me from Taiwan, played by Nat Chen and Louis Chiang.
15:44 Honorable Mention: Sasake and Miyano: Graduation
NiNi
The third and final Honorable Mention award this year goes to an anime project. Sasaki and Miyano: Graduation. [applause sound]
Ben, lead the way.
Ben
Okay! Let's talk about anime. So, yaoi is old, a lot older than people realize. We have art made by, we suspect to be women, going as far back as the 1400s, of guys sucking each others dicks. This is not a new phenomenon. At all.
And so, when we're talking about, like, what is BL doing, what is BL, where is BL going? A big question is always what is happening on the written front? What novels are popular in various cultures, and in, for Japan in particular, it's going to be manga. A significant amount of content is adapted directly from manga because manga is already successful, it has a built in fan base, and the manga itself serves as a storyboard and it's very easy to win fans over by taking popular panels and recreating them on screen for maximum impact. What's also notable is, when something is doing really well, it's going to get an anime adaptation. Anime is far more expensive to produce than live action content.
So, Sasaki and Miyano is a story about these guys in high school. One is a little bit older and is going to be graduating soon. His name is Sasaki and he helps Miyano in an instant where these guys are bullying one of Miyano’s friends, and Miyano wants to jump in. Sasaki sees that Miyano wants to help, and he jumps in to help, kind of gets his ass whipped anyway, but the two of them start hanging out.
Sasaki learns pretty early on that Miyano is a fudanshi—this is the boy version of a fujoshi—he reads BL all the time. He is one of us. But he doesn't think of himself as queer at the beginning of this. Sasaki ends up becoming very fond of Miyano, starts reading BL because it's very important to Miyano, and a relationship blossoms between them. Where this particular show is fascinating for me is because Miyano is a fudanshi, and Sasaki is not. And this is evinced most notably in the movie that released this year: Graduation, where Miyano’s understanding of what m/m romance is supposed to look like is influenced by BL, and we get this really incredible moment in the movie where after sorting through some of their stuff, they're having this moment that is sexually charged. And Miyano, who's shorter than Sasaki, and because he's more petite, a lot of people might expect him to be the uke-slash-bottom in this instance, he stops the moment that they're having and says, “I'm not an uke.” And this is also backed by the fact that Miyano does not have uke hair [laughs] but Sasaki does.
NiNi
[laughs] I know what that is now.
Ben
It also gets confused because Sasaki has yaoi hands.
NiNi
Okay, wait, pause. What are yaoi hands?
Ben
So whenever you're watching yaoi—animated yaoi—seme my hands are fucking enormous, because they want you to focus on their fingers and stuff, so their hands are fucking enormous.
NiNi
Listen, the things I learn on this show.
Ben
It's interesting because Sasaki, who just recognizes his attraction to Miyano, and maybe knew about himself already—it's a little unclear on that front. He doesn't care what position Miyano wants him to take, he just wants to be with Miyano. It's not that explicit, like the show's not going to point the camera at us and go, “Let's break down and talk about the [laughs] social politics of BL and how it impacts the youths’ maturation.” But it's apparent that it's one of the things it's thinking about because we get this really excellent presentation through Miyano, who is struggling to contextualize their relationship because his primary framework for understanding relationships between two men is formed by BL, which is not a great source, obviously [laughs] for this ‘cause BL is fictional, and is trying to just have fun with a lot of readers preconceptions of stuff. So, we get to watch them figure out what their relationship is going to be while deconstructing some BL presumptions. And it's a really enjoyable experience watching this really adorable little show.
NiNi
My brain is still stuck on yaoi hands.
Ben
All right, legit. Legit. You can pause right now and you can go Google yaoi hands. It's a whole thing.
NiNi
I believe you. [laughs] I'm gonna wait until after the show. So…
Ben
Ginny is in the fucking transcript right now Googling ‘yaoi hands.’
[both laugh]
NiNi
Ginny, I don't know if I should say I'm sorry or you're welcome.
Ben
The third and final award goes to Sasaki and Miyano, developed by Studio Dean.
21:41 Sixth Man: Mark Pakin Kuna-anuvit
NiNi
Our next category of awards is the Sixth Man Award. We are going to name the Sixth Man award for its inaugural awardee, and the inaugural Sixth Man awardee is one Khun Mark Pakin Kuna-anuvit. [fanfare sound] Mark Pakin, the most valuable and versatile supporting actor of the year. So this award shall forever be known after this as the Mark Pakin Sixth Man Award.
Bestie, I want you to go first here. Why is Mark Pakin not just our inaugural winner, but why is this award being named after him?
Ben
It's easy to get caught up in the ships, and the leads, and all the actors, and the big romance parts. But a big part of any successful story is going to be how well the lead characters play off of their supporting characters. It's notable when you look at Mark's credits since 2021, when he first appeared in a small role in I Promised You the Moon, since then every single show he's been in has been one of the highlight shows of the year.
Mark was in Bad Buddy, My School President, The Warp Effect, Moonlight Chicken, Only Friends, and now Last Twilight. Mark picks good projects and he makes them better because he can play whatever is needed of him in each of these shows. And because, as NiNi says, I bring the lore, when you watch the behind the scenes stuff and what people say about Mark, he is a huge presence behind the scenes helping manage morale and the overall mood of the set when he's present. Mark is working even when the camera is not in front of him, and making sure people are taken care of, and making sure people are grounded, and making sure that people stay in the right headspace so that they can do the work. And it clearly pays off.
Mark is really talented and you can feel how effective he was as one of the oldest actors on My School President in particular, and helping Gemini in a lot of his scenes. Mark plays so well with Fourth in Moonlight Chicken. Mark has a couple of moments with Earth in Moonlight Chicken that I still think about, like particularly the scene where Saleng receives the dowry gift from Jim, or the scene where he's leaving in, like, episode one and he's kind of shuffling out of the place. Or even just his goofy ass showing up at the end now that he's moved into, like, a value position at the water park he's working at.
Like, it's so incredible to watch Mark work whenever he's on screen. You are just so excited that he's back on screen and he does that completely from a supporting role. He is doing a great job without stealing the show or the scene from the other people that are in it. No disrespect to some of the other actors out there who are really talented, but they can't help but chew the scenery and take over every moment that they're in. Mark is really good at dialing in his performance to exactly where it needs to be in any scene, any moment. He can go really high or really low. He can go big or small as needed, and then turn it on a dime. And it's so impressive to watch. It's notable that every show he's been in has rated highly with audiences. And I just at this point find it hard to not see a pattern with his presence, and people's general love of his characters, and the shows and the storylines around where his character is involved.
NiNi
This year I watched Mark's play—technically six, if you consider the Our Skyy: My School President AU?
Ben
Kind of counts. We'll call it six. We had six different versions of Mark Pakin on our screen this year.
NiNi
And all of them were different. Every single one of them was different. And if you expand out to his other roles, every role that he has ever played, he is a different person. I do not know how he does that. I talked in the Moonlight Chicken episode about how loose he plays as Saleng. His body language is loose. The way that he speaks is loosened. It's such a different version of him that comes up as Nick in Only Friends. You can feel some of the anxiety that comes off of Nick. You can feel his vulnerability. Compare that to Tiwson in My School President, who is nothing if not confident. Ultimately, utterly confident. Every single role that he plays is just different. Physically, he acts differently. He sounds different. The way that he interacts with the other characters becomes different. He is building these characters right in front of our eyes, almost in a weird way, in real time. And then when you see him off the clock—well, not off the clock—but when you see him behind the scenes and you see him just sort of being Mark, that's a completely different person, too.
I am not the lore person, Ben is the lore person. But I did happen to see within the last couple of days a conversation on some one of these variety shows between Mark and Namtan. And Namtan is talking about being on the Last Twilight set and working with Film on the upcoming GL Pluto. And the way that Mark interacts with Namtan, and the way that they discuss acting, and the way that he supports her in those moments in the variety show. Like, he's kind of interviewing her but also praising her. I just think about what it's like to have somebody like Mark in your corner on set. And he did this too, we saw, in some of the behind the scenes on Only Friends. There's a particular one that I'm thinking of where Force played a fairly difficult emotional scene. And after the scene was over, Mark was there to say, “Yeah, guy, that was really good.” And to discuss in detail and specificity what about the way the that Force acted in that take really worked.
Ben
He was gassing Force up, and Force was eating it up. He was a little shy about it, but Mark came in and was yelling at this man. He's like, “You did amazing! You fucking crushed that, dude!”
NiNi
Mark is what I like to call an actor's actor. I don't know what else to say about this dude. He's only 25. There is so much ahead of him.
Ben
He's playing a very serious character on Last Twilight right now, and I remember seeing in one of the early behind the scenes things Aof was talking about Mark and he's like, “We weren't sure what was going on. Like, Mark was playing the scene and we were like, wait, what's going on? Mark Pakin’s on screen but we're not laughing or smiling.” And they asked Mark about it and he's like, “Well, I'm not playing a comedic character. Like, this is pretty—it's a pretty sad character, guys.”
NiNi
One of the stories of this year, I think that we're going to get into a little bit in the year in review, is people finally putting some goddamn respect on some comedic actors' names. Because, guys comedy is hard. It is so hard. It is harder in certain ways than playing drama. And so when you get a really good, really good comedic actor, you should know off the bat that they're gonna be good at drama, because it's just easier. Mark Pakin is a really fucking good comedic actor. I don't know where this kid came from.
Ben
Nadao Bangkok.
NiNi
Well, yes, there was that. [both laugh] He's only 25. He's got so much ahead of him. But in terms of what's already behind him, gotta give him props for that. And that is why he is both the inaugural Sixth Man award awardee and is going to be the person after whom this award is named going forward. So congratulations to Mark Pakin Kuna-anuvit.
Ben
We're big fans of yours, Mark, if you ever hear this. Please keep working. We love everything you're doing, and I'm really glad you committed to acting.
NiNi
I genuinely cannot wait to see what this kid does next.
31:33 Standout Queer Narrative: Moonlight Chicken
NiNi
We are now in the Standout Queer Narratives category of our Special Class awards. These three shows are chosen because while they might be in genre, they're not really of genre.
Ben
So, BL is a romance genre. The thrust of BL is about the romantic relationship at its core, and seeing it to completion. You go to a BL and you expect the very pretty boys in the intro to flirt with each other a bunch and eventually sort out their dramas and pair up by the end. Sometimes we're dramatic and they don't pair up, but we come to the genre because we want to see the cute boys get together. There's a big difference between a queer drama and a queer romance. And BL is romance. And so if you're wondering where Moonlight Chicken was [fanfare sound] [laughs] for the last week with us, it's why it's here. We talked about this in our episode, which you can go listen to. We praised it for, like, an hour and a half.
Moonlight Chicken is a family drama. The only ‘I love you’ said in the whole show is between Jim and Li Ming. The relationship between Wen and Jim is important, but it's primarily about how Jim's queer experience has further weakened the version of his life he thought he was building, and how Wen is an opportunity for him to not perpetually punish himself for the way certain things went wrong. It is important to the story but their romance is part of the drama around the diner, and the people who are connected to Jim. Like, Saleng and Praew are not a side couple, and I wouldn't even classify Heart and Li Ming as a side couple in this. They are just one of the dynamics that's being explored in this show, and it has resonance with Jim because Li MIng is Jim’s son in all but name. And so that's the crux of the whole story here.
Moonlight Chicken is truly fantastic, and I don't know that if we put Moonlight Chicken under the traditional scope we were doing in the award show that it would have won in every category it was in, but it would have probably superseded a lot of these just because of the scope of the project. That is not fair to the other shows, because the other shows are operating under the presumptions of romance as a genre.
It may feel like we're splitting hairs to some of you, and I'm sorry I can't make it more clear or explain this better. But we don't like to put bad bitches up against each other [NiNi laughs] on this podcast.
NiNi
Not even in our awards shows.
Ben
Like our award shows are really about, like, these are the top two projects that we really like the most. We give them awards because it's more dramatic for us to fight over who's better than the other one. But it isn't good to put a project like Moonlight Chicken up against the other shows that we talked about earlier this week with you all.
NiNi, any other things you want to add for Moonlight Chicken, since we've already gushed over the show once this year.
NiNi
I mean, we spent—unedited—close to three hours talking about Moonlight Chicken. I don't know what I can say that I haven't already said about this show. It is not primarily a romance. There are some parts of the audience that kind of bounced off of it or bounced off parts of it. And that's because it's not a romance. And that's okay if you come to this genre expecting romance, and you see Moonlight Chicken and you're just kind of like, “Oh, I don't know.” I'm going to judge you a little bit, but ultimately, yeah, you're right. It's not a romance. What it is is a haunting, absolutely haunting examination of love and loss and family and intergenerational trauma. It's about community. It's about coming to terms with yourself at literally every stage of being. Coming to terms with yourself in your youth, coming to terms with yourself as you start to become a real adult, coming to terms with yourself in your middle age. I have no more words, so I'm not going to try.
Ben
It has Mark Pakin in it!
NiNi
[laughs] If you haven't watched this and you like things like Parenthood or Friday Night Lights.
Ben
Aging ourselves immediately.
NiNi
Go watch it.
Ben
It is our Standout Queer Narrative as the family drama of the year that we were most enamored by.
NiNi
Moonlight Chicken produced and aired by GMMTV, starring Earth Pirapat Watthanasetsiri and Mix Sahaphap Wongratch among others, including the Sixth Man Mark Pakin, and directed by Aof Noppharnach Chaiyahwimhon.
38:02 Standout Queer Narrative: The Warp Effect
Ben
Our next show that we wanted to talk about was The Warp Effect [fanfare sound] as our after-school special [laughs] show of the year. It also has Mark Pakin in it!
NiNi
[laughs] This is not a coincidence. I think Ben is right. I think that putting Mark Pakin in your show automatically raises the level.
Ben
So, despite our [laughs] mixed bag of Jojo shows this year, he and NiNew did a really good job on The Warp Effect, exploring the social politics of sex, and how they impact people even 10 years later for the things you do in high school. I think they did a good job with the sex ed 101 component of it. You could see some of Jojo's Gay OK, Bangkok roots coming back there. And it was a lot of fun seeing Jojo work with a large cast of men and women talking about the way sex worked for them, how it didn't necessarily always work for some of them. And it was so legible! Like, it was amazing to me from week-to-week how much recall I had of that show from week-to-week, ‘cause that show was packed. It had like three to five threads it was juggling in every single episode, and yet I was still able to hold them from week to week—and as you all know, I watch too much. So, the likelihood that I forget stuff is high.
It was so much fun to watch this for the 12 weeks it was on.
NiNi
One of the things that I think it did really well is balance its themes with its narrative. I think that a lot of shows this year sort of failed at that balance. I think The Warp Effect was probably the strongest at doing that all year. It doesn't fall into the BL categories because it's not a BL.
Ben
The main character is literally straight.
NiNi
But we wanted to acknowledge all the things that it did really well, and also acknowledge that it was a very queer narrative, because the main character, yes, is straight and he has straight problems. But within the show we have a gay couple, a lesbian couple, Mark Pakin in a relationship with a trans woman.
Ben
Who Mark made blush all the time. [both laugh]
NiNi
Again, that behind the scenes stuff he's so good at. We had couples involved in kink, which kink is not technically queer, but they're definitely in the vicinity.
Ben
They're getting their asses beat with us on the streets. They count.
NiNi
We've got an aromantic character. We've got bisexuals, we've got everybody in this show. It is super queer in only the way a Jojo show can really be. And it was just fun to watch. It is an after school special that did not feel preachy. It was lighthearted where it needed to be. It was serious where it needed to be. It's a great show and definitely one of the standout great narratives of the year.
The Warp Effect produced and aired by GMMTV. Starring everybody you can think of [laughs], directed by Jojo Tichakorn Phukhaotong.
41:30 Standout Queer Narrative: What Did You Eat Yesterday? 2
NiNi
Our final Standout Queer Narrative award, and our final Special Class award goes to the granddaddy of this podcast. It’s What Did You Eat Yesterday? Season 2, guys. [fanfare sound] Do we even need to explain this?
Ben
The only thing that could have possibly made What Did You Eat Yesterday? 2 better was if Mark Pakin was somehow involved with it.
[both laugh]
NiNi
I can’t stand you. So What Did You Eat Yesterday? falls into the slice-of-life genre. We would have talked about What Did You Eat Yesterday? ad nauseam in our Om Nom Nom episode, which you would have heard if the editing is right… last week… sometime?
Ben
Oh my God.
NiNi
[laughs] Don't quote me on that. Listen guys, the editing is…it's gonna be what it is. So we would have waxed poetic about this show for, at the very least, an hour.
Ben
And you've already heard Ginny’s supercut of me mentioning the show unprompted all year long.
NiNi
You would have definitely heard Ben, bringing up What Did You Eat Yesterday? every chance he gets in our holiday clip show.
This show is amazing. Nishijima and Uchino are amazing. I did not expect to get more What Did You Eat Yesterday? this year. The fact that we got it is a gift.
Ben
This season 2 picks up a little bit after the movie. Shiro and Kenji been together for about eight years now, and we continue with more stories about their lives. The big theme for this season: they are dealing with the fact that they are in their 50s now. They're getting older and they're going through physical and emotional changes, and there are changes going on in their personal, professional, and family lives that they also have to manage as well.
This show remains kind of unique. BL is romance. It’s focused on people getting together. What What Did You Eat Yesterday? is focused on as a slice-of-life food drama, is about a couple staying together and dealing with the things that come up in their lives. Less than a handful of shows allow us to return to characters and see how they're doing and if they're going to make it and stick together. And What Did You Eat Yesterday? is so important in that regard, not just because it's about a long-term relationship. It's also about older gay men. And it's super important that we conceive of the idea that there are older gay couples. We do get to grow old with each other. That's also–and marriage equality is important. You want your boys to grow old together? There are gays who are old right now. You deserve to see gays getting older together and doing their best for each other.
What a lovely season we had because everybody got to grow this season. We got to see Shiro take on more professional responsibility than he was maybe willing to. Kenji got to grow professionally as well. Wataru was still a bitch the whole time, but he feels like a friend now?
[both laugh]
NiNi
I'm still creasin’ over the 50 balloon. [laughs] Oh God, that was such bitchy energy. I love it.
Ben
I just love how at this point, Kohinata and Wataru feel like their friends. And that was so important for me that we got to see them having a relationship with another gay couple. Kenji finally got to meet Kayoko this season. What a delight that was.
NiNi
And Kayoko treating him like a celebrity when she runs into him in the grocery store. So fun. Great, phenomenal, fantastic show anchored by some of the best performances by two of the greats.
Ben
Man, that's another thing we should talk about. The-the other reason why we need older gay characters: we deserve to see more veteran actors in the genre. This is not a knock on the young and up-and-coming talent or the OGs who are still doin’ the work. We deserve to see veteran actors bringing veteran-level talent to this genre more often than we do.
NiNi
What Did You Eat Yesterday? produced and aired by TV Tokyo, starring Nishijima Hidetoshi and Uchino Seiyou. You have won the coveted standout Queer Narrative Special Class award from The Conversation.
46:54 Outro
That is going to wrap us up on the 2023 Very Important Internet BL Awards, the VIIB Awards. It's kind of sad to see this go, but we will be back with the VIIB Awards next year when we get to discuss a whole new bunch of stuff.
Looking forward to it. With that, we out.
Say “bye” to the people, Ben.
Ben
Peace!

Tell me abt your Nicky headcanons!
- The hat's a family heirloom
- She has combined type ADHD, and I will certainly make a long blog post as to why I believe this is true
- She has the stereotypical Bogan accent, and it's actually applicable since she canonically lives in Fuckoff Somewhere, Australia in the Outback
- Stella, her horse, is a Thoroughbred!
- Hyperfixations on animals, ecology, paleontology and geomology
- Gamer. She'd definitely play TF2 and Minecraft. Rockstar connoisseur. The Red Dead franchise is favourite series to the surprise of absolutely nobody
- She fluctuates from being an angry drunk, to weepy drunk, to sleepy drunk. Yeah
- A Vicky headcanon, she is an absolute hit with the Chens. She plays mahjong with the aunties
- She is learning Chinese! Her pronunciations are absolutely ass but she's getting there!!!!
- Bisexual energy, 50/50 attraction rate including non-binary people
- Big fan of Westerns and samurai movies
- Reads manga and watches anime. Her favourite for both is Chainsaw Man
- Her claustrophobia originated from a caving accident. Stories of caving accidents absolutely terrify her
-Which leads into claustrophobia not being as benign as portrayed in the books. She will get full on panic attacks from the trauma
- This is why she has once never slept right for four days straight after reading The Enigma of Amigara Faukt by Junji Ito

I felt like I haven't explored Tomarang enough, so I had Megan, Tess, Luna, Chrissy, their respective kids, and the family cat Gus go on a vacation. They rented this beautiful house in Koh Sahpa, I'll add the name after checking because it really is a gorgeous house. The family unpacked and settled in and while Luna took a nap, Chrissy and Piper cooked some food, Hamuera and Emily set the table, and Megan and Tess made sugarcane juice for everyone.
After their lunch, Megan pulled Tess close and kissed her cheek. "I'm going to explore the city, but would you want to woohoo with me when I come back?" Megan said. Tess grinned mischievously. "I would, Meggs and toast." She said. "Also, where are you planning on going?" She asked. "Well, mostly I'm just going to do some sight seeing, but I also want to visit the Sulea tiger sanctuary. It's pretty amazing and you can adopt a tiger cub and sponsor it." Tess grinned. "Okay babe, as long as you don't try to sneak one back here." She joked, and Megan grinned. "I’ll try not to, Tessie." She joked back. "Oh yeah, and I told my cousin* Liên that I'm in Koh Sahpa so she invited us to visit her and the family." Tess nodded. "We should go for sure, plus I'd like to meet her too." Megan grinned. "Great, I'll let her know we're coming over tomorrow so she can prep." Tess nodded. "And Tessie..." Megan started. "I know it's been rocky for us, but I just want you to know that I love and appreciate you so much. You've been there for me through so much, and you're an amazing mom to Saf, Amir, and Emily, and an amazing wife to me, and I love you." She said. Tess smiled too and she hugged Megan. "I know Meggs, and I love and appreciate you too. I'm sorry for being jealous over Iseul." Megan shook her head. "It's okay, I understand why you felt that way, Tess." Megan said. Tess smiled as she took Megan’s hand and kissed it.
#ts4#mysims#Megan Liao#Luna Feldman-Chen#Tess Feldman-Liao#Piper Feldman-Chen#Hamuera Feldman-Chen#Emily Liao-Feldman#*her auntie married Liên's auntie when Liên was 17 and Megan was 10#they met at the wedding and Liên's been like an older sister for Megan. plus they share two cousins Mei Lin and Thanh.

Lin Chen ?? 👀👀👀 (for the wip title game)
Lin Chen! This was actually about Jingyan accidentally seeing a candid portrait of Su Manor with Lin Chen careening after Feiliu and Mei Changsu laughing at them, post-reveal, and realizing what Mei Changsu/Lin Shu had been hiding from him.
-------------------------
Jingyan enters the garden to absolute chaos. Little Fei Liu is careening from tree to tree, and someone in white robes and a jianghu hairstyle is careening after him.
It’s the most chaotic Jingyan has ever seen prim, proper Su Manor. Sitting near the ledge is Mei Changsu. Mei Changsu -- xiao-Shu. Fei Liu darts behind him. The man in white follows, but xiao-Shu holds out an arm, blocking him. “Don’t bully our little Fei Liu, please.”
There’s laughter in his voice, and fondness. Jingyan’s heart squeezes in his chest. It sounds like a man who loves the people around him. It sounds warm.
The man in white pulls out a fan, shakes it at Fei Liu. “This rotten scamp ate my oranges. And here you are standing up for him!”
Behind xiao-Shu, Fei Liu sticks out a tongue.
“Enough, enough,” says xiao-Shu, indulgence permeating his every word. “Fei Liu must have been hungry. Weren’t you? Go find Auntie Ji, she’ll give you some snacks.”
Fei Liu scurries off, and the man in white says, “Amazing. You’re as bad as him.”
“The way I see it, you deserved to have your oranges eaten. Who asked you to flaunt them at every—”
“Changsu,” the jianghu man says, “you have a guest.”

Thank you for asking!

𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆… 𝐌𝐘 𝐆𝐋𝐄𝐄 𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑, 𝐀𝐔𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐘 𝐁𝐄𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄
❝ Audrey Beiste was absolutely no stranger to bullying or how cruel other people could be. Having lived with her aunt Shannon, known to most others as Coach Beiste, since she was seven and her father had gone to jail, she had always known very well what other people thought of her and the only family she really had. She had heard people mocking her aunt for the way she looked and sounded, calling her every single mean name in the book and, when it was adults who were doing the insulting, only smiling condescendingly when young Audrey had attempted to stick up for her auntie. And Audrey herself was no stranger to taunts and insults, either; she’d been being bullied for her size since she could remember, mocked with loud pig snorts or yelled suggestions to eat a salad almost every time she walked down the school halls.
She’d never let it affect her, however, at least not the cruel words directed at her; Audrey was the kind of person to always choose kindness and sunshine, and she did her best to honor that principle, constantly having a sweet smile on her face and a positive comment on her lips, even when those around her rolled their eyes at it and went right back to insulting her. The only pain or anger she ever allowed herself to show, outside of defending her aunt against people who were old enough to know better than to be so rude, was in the pages of her songwriting notebook, in the lyrics she spent most of her free time jotting down and singing out loud to make sure they sounded right. She put her pain into those lyrics and kept the notebook that housed them close to her heart, knowing in her soul that one day she would turn them into actual songs that could be used to prove wrong all the bullies that had told her she would never amount to anything.
When her aunt decides to take a job offer to coach a struggling football team in Ohio, Audrey hopes for a fresh start, a place where she and her aunt can begin again away from those who tormented them. But her illusions of the grass being greener in Lima are quickly shattered when she starts attending McKinley High - a fatphobic word painted on her new locker and a slushy in her face ruining one of her favorite sweaters will do that to a person. Desperately trying to find a place where she can be free of judgement, Audrey auditions to join the school’s glee club, and there she finds a great deal of drama and divas, but also a group of people who love music as much as she does and who accept her as she is, because they’re all freaks in the eyes of the rest of the school, after all.
However, it’s also there that Audrey quickly develops a crush on one Finn Hudson, an awkward football player with a heart of gold, and the first boy who’s ever called Audrey pretty. But of course, there’s also the issue of Finn already having a girlfriend as well as a complicated relationship with his cheerleader ex, and anyway, someone like him would never go for someone like Audrey, even if they’re part of the same chaotic, unusual found family… right? ❞

Kenny:
• Will fret over you like a parent.
• You're the most important and normal thing amidst this chaotic shithole aside from his mom, so you bet your ass he'll be leaning over ur shoulder every 3 seconds asking if you're okay
• "should I make you some tea? U know chamomile really helps"
• Will try to cuddle you, and if you're down with anything that can spread by touch/fluids and back up from him he'll pout
• "you'll get sick too"
• "i have a healthy body made of iron"
• Will sulk when you call him out on his bs
• Asks Kristi if he can take care of you in the house because he doesn't want you to spend the night over the infirmary :(
• Will look like a kicked puppy everyday around town bc he'd rather stay with you
• Gets so happy when you're better and asks for a day 'off' just so he can stay in with you
• will cuddle and nuzzle his nose all over you like a puppy all day. Cutest mf to ever walk this earth
Jade:
• "if you're sick I'm also sick"
• refuses to leave your side.
• won't make you stay inside, but will follow you eVERYWHERE
• "wherever u go I go" "jade i can use the bathroom by myself pls"
• is actually quite sweet, is worried a lot but will try to mask it
• if he sees you're tired and pushing yourself to do something, he can and will pull you to the nearest room (his room :)) and will make you lay down on the bed. Will lay with you, and if you complain abt it he'll look at you with the most extreme disdain
• "but you're going to get sick!" "does it look like i give a flying fuck about it"
• aggressively caring
• that dude that went "if you're in pain I'm also in pain, it's uterUS babe"

with: Amerie Chen @ameriechen
where: East Haven Fourth of July Carnival - BBQ Contest
"But Mom, why can't we ride the Gravitron?" The voice of Haven's ten year old son, Lake was echoing through her as she thought of a valid reason why they couldn't. Sure, the ride was a little terrifying for most kids, but Lake had proved to her and to anyone that had ever met the kid that he wasn't scared of most things. Add in that Lake was finally tall enough to ride, it was nearly impossible to tell him no. Haven, however, could remember the last few times she'd ridden the Gravitron at the carnival and how miserable she'd been afterwards, that she was really battling with saying yes, so instead she smiled down at her son. "Well, why don't we ask Auntie Amerie what she wants to do. She may be hungry because someone has has her running around town all day." she laughed, looking at her son and then back at Amerie. "What are you feeling like doing? Are you ready for food or did you want to do a few more games or rides?"
