MY FRIEND, I ABSOLUTELY CAN!!!! 🥰 Starting from the beginning...
PART ONE: ORIGINAL FILMANIA PRODUCTION & FATE
It’s 2019-20, you’re Mile Phakphum Romsaithong, a very rich socialite who plays guitar. You’re bored and you’ve been thinking about getting into acting, and have been offered misc. BL casting opportunities before (1), but never really felt like any of them were For You, so you turned them down.
Then, one day, you find out that there is a BL currently casting from the studio Filmania, where the male lead is based on you (2), at least your public persona/physically/whatever. Being a puppy of a man, you are delighted, and go read the script, and then the books, and decide you’ll go to the casting call for it.
At casting call, you re-meet Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat (3), who you went to college with and had a giant crush on (4). You guys hit it off IMMEDIATELY, chemistry unhinged, and get cast as Kinn and Porsche. Apo takes it, even though he has historically had a bad experience with the Thai acting industry (5). You are delighted by this incidence of FATE!!!!!!
PART TWO: IF YOU DON’T HAVE FATE ON YOUR SIDE STORE-BOUGHT IS FINE
The show gets dropped (6) Something something the authors, something something the company, whatever. I assume, if you are Mile, you are very sad! And if you’re Apo you’re also pretty sad, because it seemed like for once even with all the industry BS you had a cool dude on your side who you hit it off with, and it was gonna be a cool show. On the heels of that, if you are Mile, and have stacks of money, and see your college crush who is an unbelievable actor about to re-give up on acting and call it a wash, you are like, “wait, I have stacks of money and know everyone”.
So you, Mile, call up the head of the small talent agency you’re signed with, Be On Cloud, which is really just your buddy Pond Krisda Witthayakhajorndet in a fake mustache and a trench coat, and go, hey! So! Have you ever wanted to make television? I have a man here I CANNOT allow to be sad under any circumstances, and also, we’re really good at this and there’s an audience here.
PART THREE: BE ON CLOUD, KINNPORSCHE TAKE TWO!!!!
Pond, being just as unhinged as Mile, thinks about it for a second, and is like. Well. How different can making television be from running an event planning company, which is my real job (7). It’s just calling up a bunch of different guys who are good at their jobs and putting them in one place. And I know so many different guys! Let’s do it!
They get the rights (handwaves this I don’t know anything about it) and jump into production. They get their shit together UNREALISTICALLY quickly (6), and on top of that, since they’re starting from scratch and they’re just A Bunch Of Guys led by Pond and Mile, they decide that their priorities are #1 making art and #2 making Apo happy. With regards to #1, they rework the script (8), hire the best acting coaches money can afford, and put the cast through character-building and intimacy workshops. With regards to #2, they toss out all the industry bullshit that has sucked for him in the past -- no more crew/cast hierarchy (9), no more homophobia on-set (10), no more fake fanservice (11).
FINALE: MIRACLES IF U BELIEVE ETC.
Magically, it turns out, when you create a great working environment, you get really, really good TV!!!!! Which means that their unhinged plan succeeded beyond their wildest dreams, and now Mile & Apo are internationally famous superstars who hang out 24/7 with their squad of 16 close friends, and we get to watch them do it. And it has been, genuinely, a fucking privilege.
To end this tale with a personal note, one of the reasons I allowed myself to get so invested in KinnPorsche so fast is because it was evident from every aspect of it -- the show itself, the BTS, the actors interviews -- that the people working on this show both really cared about the show and were genuinely having a great time. There is nothing like seeing art made by people who are passionate about making it!
Their enthusiasm, their hard work, and their obvious enjoyment of the process & each other’s company are what made me feel like I could trust what they were making, because you could tell no matter what else it was, it was from the heart. And that’s really something special! Especially in this day and age!!
And even though they could pull it off this time because of the circumstances (financial and social), I hope that it shows BL television CAN be made in a way that keeps the actors comfortable and safe and happy, and encourages change for the better across the industry as a whole. KinnPorsche shouldn’t be the last wild BL passion project; it should be the first one of a new wave. (bangs gavel) Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

re: what fandom 'a little life' came from, my immediate knee-jerk thought was "backstreet boys." i have absolutely no basis for this other than Terminally Online Brain Worms esp bc..........there are 5 of those boyband fellas and as far as i remember only 4 main characters in that book lmfao. what can i say. the boyband angle feel right
yeah i'll incorporate that into my belief system
#fandom life#total speculation!!!!!! but i love it!#a little life#Ok but fr i think the time period of peak bsb rpf fits HY's age group#Also the (initial) thing of we are a group of successful handsome men all just kind of hanging out .. is very boyband au rpf ..#the nebulousness of the setting (in time period etc) is very fanfictiony to me the thing of everyone being successful in different fields#very fanfictiony#And one of them has a horribly traumatic backstory... classic fanfic trope! tho taken to extremes here. who here remembers#the 'rape recovery' fanfic trope. HY said what if that.. but no recovery . which sure is a valid artistic choice a valid question.#what if someone DIDNT get better. but full disclosure i could NOT finish this book i really felt i had to stop for my own safety .#as if people don't not get better all the time u know??? and as that one reviewer said . WHO in the world of this book#WOULDNT become a crystal meth addict. etc. there's no legit way out and that's a total authorial construction.#anyway i do actually think she's a skilled writer but i did not feel the compulsion to finish this book that so many ppl have felt#built different i guess. just walk out!#if you're a normie who never read any absurdly ott h/c fanfiction i guess it hit different tho!#mangoamango#asks#i welcome furhter speculation.... i always thought it was possible it was some band i'd never heard of or some 90s manga i never read#I did manage to read her first book 'the people in the trees' and yes i would describe it as 'good'#but it's like . imagine an ursula le guin book but evil

fic: hopeless, breathless, burning slow
Pairing: Todd Brotzman/Dirk Gently
Rating: E
Words: 5274
Summary: Dirk is so rarely still that he often forgets what it feels like. Even when he’s not physically in motion, the wheels in his head never stop turning; some intrinsic part of him is always listening for the stream of creation like he’s a radio telescope waiting for a distant ping to give him somewhere new to turn his attention.
Inexplicably, sex is the only thing he’s encountered so far that can shut it all down. It’s not just calm, it’s quiet. It’s bliss.
Author's Note: Don’t mind me, this is just a horny little treatise on how Dirk experiences stillness, trust, inner peace, and getting railed so hard he forgets his own name. Emphasis on “horny.”
A million thanks to @r-dtoblack for the beta, the way you immediately responded "YEAH" when I asked was beyond validating. I also cannot have an author's note on a Dirk Gently fic without acknowledging that deep down all of this is so @mangoamango will think I'm cool.
read on ao3
#dirk gently's holistic detective agency#dghda#brotzly#dghda fic#not me out here finishing the random pwp instead of any of my big projects#if you recognize the title I fucking see you

last song: listening to TOMORROW X TOGETHER's Coming Back For More (TXT Ver.) rn
currently watching: Cooking Crush! And Love Senior, somewhat. I am massively behind on my television also I can't watch Pit Babe until the new Roku thing I ordered arrives because now I refuse to watch it anywhere other than in my living room on the television and iQiyi broke itself purposefully on the old Google Chrome which is what we had before. I am very mad about it.
three ships: why is this hard rn..... i'm in a place where i'm just like Yeah Hit Me. uhhh everyone/everyone (every kpop group)? Dean/Castiel. Sasuke/Naruto
favorite color: all colors are good but i only like purple in context. i'm very into light yellow-ish greens right now. i wear a lot of pink and red as an Accent Color
currently consuming: i am eating a bagel with cream cheese and drinking my coffee
first ship: If we are talking in a fandom context, I think it probably has to be Inuyasha/Kagome, but could also potentially be Alanna/George from the Alanna the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce.
relationship status: single & considering mingling
last movie: ohhh my god. uhhhh. was it the barbie movie? WAIT NO IT WAS FAST & FURIOUS TOKYO DRIFT
currently working on: some illustrations at my job i'm not supposed to be doing illustrations for but i was like "between having to talk to another human person and just doing it myself right now doing it myself won"

tagged by @phneltwrites and @brofisting !
three ships: fraser/kowalski for sheer duration in my life, dean/castiel judging by the quantity of my reblogs and content of my Blog over the past couple of year, palm/nuengdiao because i'm watching that show and i'm VERY tense about their future. heart in my MOUTH whenever i watch that show.
first ever ship: Strictly speaking. Embarrassing to say this. TMI. Not that i shy away from it !!!! BUT it was I think characters in the Redwall book series. This is a UK childrens fantasy series with anthropomorphic animals who fight battles etc and I was pretty obsessed with it from about the ages of 9-12. I got suddenly very bored of it circa book 13 or 14 (they could be . very repetitive). This was the first fandom I stumbled across fanfiction for . on the FAMILY COMPUTER. because the author's website was listed on the back cover and that website linked to a page that turned out to have some (g-rated non shippy) fanfiction on it. Anyway in a couple of these books there is a heroic girl mouse in one book with a best friend /malewife boy mouse character. I'm pretty sure it was them. And if it wasn't them it was probably Alanna / George from the Tamora Pierce books.
last song: i've listened to very little music over the last few days so statistically it's gonna be . the song in the last ep of My School President or that one Gaspar Nali video. but I have listened to a LOT of the podcast Climbing Gold, which I really enjoy, it's on spotify, apple podcasts, etc.
last movie: “The Wonder”, on Netflix. It's good!!!!!!! Florence Pugh great.... Sebastian Lelio good director..... ireland very beautiful and muddy ..... the framing device maybe made more sense to me at end than beginning
currently reading: joan didion, 'where I was from'. Also the manga 'Descending Stories', Haruko Kumota.
currently watching: The Warp Effect, My School President, Never Let Me Go, The Bear, How To With Joe Wilson.
currently consuming: nothing ... glass of water??? Last ate toast and a leftover sausage and broccoli . normal lunch event
currently craving: i am thinking VERY intensely about figuring out a steamer setup for turnip cake and nian gao, because i really like them, i want to make them this weekend, and the last time i made them my steamer situation was NOT ideal. the subject of which pans fit into which pots consumes me. and I also wish to make various of these nyt cookie recipes..... I'm not usually a cookie person but the picture of the gochujang one really got to me.
tagging @creamataoldotcom @mangoamango @thevvooster @itsmapes @confusinglyamusingly
#sorry for not getting round to this ......... i really had to debate . whether i could be truly honest about the first ship question#also . I have I think not given the full facts re tv watch list . I may check what's goin on my MDL page and post that .#memes#tumblr life

Fic: only one thing left for us to do
Author: oneprotagonistshort
Pairing: Todd Brotzman/Dirk Gently
Rating: E
Words: 2487
Summary: Adrienne had told Dirk at breakfast that he looked like a well-fucked idiot, and Dirk, never afraid of a challenge, set out to earn the title.
Author’s Notes: a sequel of sorts to Forces Unseen, although it technically could be read on its own if you're willing to guess at some backstory. Dirk's POV following breakfast with Todd and Adrienne
dedicated to my light, my life, my beloved filth with feels, mangoamango
