Mile defending Apo and telling him he's not weird. Mile Phakphum #1 apocolleague #1 Apo defender #1 Apo protector 😖
2. Whatever they put in the water that day at the XBlush shoot 🥴
3. The Moon Represents My Heart at KPWT Taipei (curse you one video per post Tumblr limit). The audible gasp and excitement from the audience when they realized what song it was!!!
4. MileApo at the Vogue Thailand Gala. Everything about them and how beautiful they were... Mile had just gotten out of COVID isolation #2 and now they had a Vogue spread and were mingling with the movers and shakers of the Thai ent industry. Also specifically these boyfriend soft launch selfies 😖
5. Paper Mile at the KPWT send off. This one was bittersweet and making the best of a bad situation... Apo was doing his best to have Mile be included but even Apo was not his usual sparkly self. The appearance of paper Mile per the request of quarantined Mile really put the smile back on his face.
6. Sharing dessert and water in the Red Sea Film Festival IGL
7. Apo taking this sexy photo of Mile in Phuket and immediately being exposed as the photographer. Thank you @ apovision for God's work and thank you @/may for exposing them.
8. Mile replying to this tweet. Yeah it's a tweet. Yeah he interacts with many fan tweets. But trust me, this is the one that made all of us deranged. It's the reason why I'm deranged now. I think about this all the time.
9. Mile and Apo kissing live at KPWT Bangkok. I'm just going to make peace with the fact that we're likely never gonna see another live kiss at a KPWT show again. But we got this one.
10. Holding up the pride flag together at KPWT Taipei. Wasn't Taipei beautiful!?! 😭 It was a beautiful moment for the entire cast and the audience, since it was Pride Week in Taipei 🌈
Bonus: 11. Meeting all of you 🥰💕 Yeah I'm sappy as heck, what are you gonna do about it.
If you've ever sent me an anon or liked or reblogged one of my posts or followed me or stalk my blog but don't have a Tumblr or written fic or drawn fanart or written meta or made gifs or made edits or trended for MileApo, thank you for making fandom a fun place. If you've learned anything new about yourself or the world or changed your perspective in life because of anything I reblogged, I'm glad something I said or did affected you 🥰
We often talk about about when being in fandom is annoying, but really, it's a community. If you've stayed, thanks for embracing respecting each other and loving KinnPorsche and loving Mile and Apo and the people in their lives (which includes all of us!)
Maybe the real MileApo was the friends we made along the way 🥹🥹🥹 (Mile would agree because he is equally sappy like me).
Many other beautiful memories I wanted to include... but I loved these so much. It was hard picking favorites, but I'm gonna 😤
Bonus runners up:
Looking like a royal couple at their first fan meet
KPWT Seoul date (are you going to give us the video or not BOC...)
Apo lifting Mile in the KPWT Taipei behind the scenes video
Mile discretely rubbing Apo's waist underneath his suit jacket at the D7 event 🤭🤭🤭
KPWT Taipei goodbye (x2)
(alright no more for real or else I'm gonna be here all day)
#ASOULUNBOUND independent, private multi-muse featuring muses from greek mythology, kinnporsche, a song of ice and fire, marvel/x-men, bridgerton, james bond, the wheel of time, dune, criminal minds
[GR4YED] An independent, private, canon-divergent multi-verse and multi-ship portrayal of Kinnporsche's sassy darling, Taechin 'TAY'. With verses in The Hunger Games, Vampire Media, Descendants, The MCU + DCU && plenty more. A study in love & loathing, levity, the anguish of a restless existence and the stalwart desire to reject the worst of life's givings.
Listen, I can not stress how cool it was that both Kinn and Porsche had friends that wove in and out of the scenes. They gave this show a grounding that many shows skimp on when overly focusing on the main couple.
Y’all. I’m watching Bible, Ta and Perth try to spell things in Thai, and I. am. HOWLING. This is easily the funniest thing I’ve seen on the BOC Youtube site in ... maybe forever. Perth’s “Whaaaaat????” Bible’s “WHY? WHY???” Ta’s constant little “fuck”s. The point when they’re all three so baffled they just fall into English at the same time. Bible’s question mark(s).
At the same time, wow, I’m a little bit weirded out watching Bible, because practically everything he’s doing here is uncomfortably familiar. The self-deprecation, the expectation of failure so that you joke about it as a way to undersell yourself and soften the blow, the constant self-questioning and inability to be secure in any of your efforts, and at the very same time the focus on getting it right, the need to not only be right but to be the first to present your answer, the sudden intensity at the point of actual performance - the visible change in demeanor at the choke point - the way performance outstrips self-presentation by 1000 percent. It’s a ton of very little things that all add up to something that’s wigging me out a little bit, and honestly, I’m trying not to read too much into it or be too weird about it, because I could way too easily slip into a pit of projection and start wondering about a potentially seething cauldron of insecurities just under baby boy’s surface.
ANYWAY. I gotta go watch the last bit of this. I’ve had to rewind 15 times already, and I’ve probably woken up the entire house, cackling at various points. (Perth: “Because I KNOW.” In English. With that Aus accent. I’m D Y I N G. Perth, I [heart] u.)
(ETA: “Big-boss.” Ta: “OK, the name ‘Big’ ...” Bible: “NO. It’s not a name. Don’t reference it.” (emphasis mine) Me: :wheezing: LIKE WHAT? YOU’RE GOING TO CONJURE HIM UP IF YOU SAY IT? OMG.)
(ETA 2: Staff: “Do you want to ask the Royal Institute a question?” Their faces: :| Me: :flailing: I think they would very much like to ask the Royal Institute some questions, actually.)
I'm so proud 🌈 of Apo for how brave he's always been.
In case you missed it since Apo never specifically said it in an interview, Tong spoke about having this conversation with Apo about how Apo viewed Porsche's character (I'm guessing Tong here means Porsche's gender preference... this is the official BOC subtitled version too, sigh.)
This is a companion to the Proud🌈 of Mile piece I wrote a while back. I've been wanting write one for Apo but it's very hard because it's obviously very hard for him to talk about too. Sometimes I when I get notes on the Mile one, I still feel shy about it (even though I don't think Mile is shy!) But someone needs to loudly celebrate both of their bravery! Especially Apo's!!
It takes a lot of courage to walk away from a career you love because you realize you're being not treated the way you're supposed to be. Especially when it's an art you love and you've gotten to a place that most people dream of. Let's not forget, Apo was quite famous as an actor in Thailand already before KinnPorsche. Not only is he a great actor, but he was building a reputation for himself and he chose to walk away from all of that, potentially permanently.
The kind of policing that Apo received of a young person's self-expression while working on the sets of Channel 3 has really detrimental effects on the psyche. I won't say too much about it because Apo is human and he's allowed off days and deserves the grace, but you can see glimpses of how being at an industry event full of industry people, some of whom may or may not have said shit to him in the past, inadvertently hit him at the Vogue Gala. Of course Apo had fun still and it was an amazing experience he got to share with Mile! But if that's how he felt like he had to police his own body language every day on set, I can see why he quit.
New York was so good for Apo because it allowed him to see that the problem was with the people around him, not with himself. When I was in my early 20s, I remember seeing a billboard in New York that said something along the lines of: "Here we judge you more for the shoes you wear than who you love." And ain't that the type of freedom Apo needed.
But when he got back from New York, he committed himself to making queer art.
How brave does he have to be in the first place to walk away from a career he loved because of the homophobic comments he got and knowing it wasn't right (and a reminder, he wasn't working on any BLs before KPTS), and then how much braver still to come back and say: you can't hurt me with what I own about myself. And, I want to make art that expresses it.
Make no mistake, I'm not commenting on Apo's sexuality here. He's asked us not to. But being queer, queerness isn't just about gender or sexuality. It's about identity, the struggles you go through; it's a political stance. Many queer musicians who've never been publicly linked to a same-sex partner have made art specifically to explore their queerness and grapple with violence they still are at the brunt of as a result of being part of society.
And Apo has let us know multiple times what his political stance is, the kinship he feels with expressed queerness. It's the way he came back home and owned the queer art he is a part of. It's the way he continuously expresses the humanity in the stories he's telling, and talks about in interviews how he sees that honesty in the story resonates with the audience.
Apo is a role model in not only how we should treat those around us, but a reminder that being kind to everyone includes being kind to yourself. Especially when society tries to tear you down.
Apo meditates before sleeping while Mile loves to listen to Ajarn Yod’s podcast (a dharma storyteller)
Apo imitates the Ajarn Yod’s voice he’s forced to listen to at night 😂
Mile says that one time he woke up and saw Apo meditating and for a second thought that ajarn yod was still talking lol
Apo said that if he wants to meditate, he has to wait for Mile to fall asleep first ahaha so he walks around the room waiting and pokes Mile to check if he’s definitely fallen asleep 😂
Apo also said that Mile sleeps with crossed legs and with an arm supporting his head and added: “who sleeps in such a handsome way??” 😁
So Mile teased him: “i think the reason why he answered the question in such a detailed way is because he was sitting and watching me lying down for sure. How detailed is that?” Ahsskdkfj
Chapter 12 is live! And I removed the total chapter count because I have no idea how long this will be but it will DEFINITELY be longer than 20 chapters. Bear with me and I’ll add a new one once I know where I’m going!
Summary:
When Pete saves a bleeding, gorgeous stranger from being killed by the Yakuza, that man opens doors to a world of submission and pleasure he’d never known before.
When Vegas is saved by a beautiful college student, he knows he doesn’t want to let the man slip through his fingers.
The two of them start up an arrangement: kinky sex, but only casually.
But with the Yakuza on the hunt for the person who took down their men, and the main family asking questions about where Vegas goes when he disappears, how long will their casual arrangement last?
–
OR: Pete is a college student. Vegas is in the mafia. They shouldn’t meet, but they do, and their spark is impossible to ignore.
