This is a little something (she says and then writes nearly a thousand words) about Kawi and intimacy and his behaviour towards Pisaeng's affections in Be My Favourite ep 9. I've been thinking about it all week but wasn't sure if I wanted to use my precious free-time to make a post. However, on the cusp of the new ep, I realise I do want to get these thoughts out.
I realised from reading other people's perspectives of the ep that my initial assessment of how Kawi was behaving was perhaps clouded by the 'old lenses' that I was subconsciously watching the show through. For context, I wasn't sure that I liked that Kawi kept pushing Pisaeng away and I even mentioned the dreaded Blushing Maiden trope. After some thought, I realise that my initial judgement was very much influenced by a couple of things carried over from ye olden bl times (which may not have been done away with completely but seem to be on their way out in present times).
First, from having seen so many bl/qls with the blushing maiden trope, subconsciously I guess I still expect to see it because it had been so prevalent. And second, despite the re-wiring my brain has undergone when it comes to Krist, I think I still fell back on the earlier presumptions that Krist was either averse to skinship (particularly with men) and/or wasn't a good enough actor to convey physical intimacy (this, of course, mostly stems from his portrayal of Arthit in SOTUS, which for all we know was how he was specifically directed to act - and which many have interpreted as demi- or asexual, which absolutely has a place at the table).
My conclusions to these realisations is that I need to learn to trust these newer bl/qls that they really aren't going to rehash the old questionable tropes of yesteryear.
I remember some discourse before the last three eps of My School President - when we were worried about the ending - about how Bad Buddy taught us that we can feel safe watching it - "safe in the knowledge that tropes were being subverted, that the usual angsty triggers actually got resolved pretty quickly, that the ep 11 curse wasn't actually a curse at all". And we needed to take that knowledge to help assuage our fears about the ending of MSP. And I think I'm in a similar situation here with Be My Favourite and Kawi in particular.
Staying with Bad Buddy for a bit longer (because, really, when can I ever not talk about it in relation to something else?), I remember feeling a similar disappointment with how Pran was being portrayed in ep 9. I felt he too bordered on the blushing maiden with how he shied away from Pat's advances in his room before Korn came in, before the rugby game, and even when washing up after the hotpot date. I don't see that now because, of course, we know Pran isn't a blushing maiden at all - I mean he's not known as Feral Musky Scented HOE Pran for nothing.
Yes, it took time for Pran to get used to Pat's affections but that was probably because he had pined over this man for so long it was all a bit overwhelming at first. Pran probably needed to ease into letting down his walls, to be vulnerable around Pat, and to believe it was all real. And in the end, when he had gotten used to it all, Pran holds back because he likes to make Pat work for it...because Pat also likes to work for it, because they get off on role-playing - as I've said before, it's like foreplay to them.
I'm not saying this is the same for Kawi but it's a similar situation. I knew this about Pran, and that I was wrong in my interpretation of him, and yet I didn't think to approach Kawi and Pisaeng with the same lens. The lens that so many of you have helpfully pointed out - Kawi is a 30-year-old virgin. This is all so new to him, not only to be intimate with someone but also with a man whom he hadn't even contemplated being with. He's spent 12 years only thinking of Pear (emphasis on 'only thinking' as well as 'only thinking').
@burntsuncomet said it well in their tags: "touch gets very very difficult if you don't interact with people much, so intimacy of normal affectionate touches are tough. Kawi would have to start slow and let Piseang just smack a kiss, maybe hold hands, hug a bit, it's a lot of work before intimacy from touch will be like second nature in Kawi's case." @rocketturtle4 also added that Kawi's "general uncertainty could be very well tied in with his loneliness and, especially, his fear of losing Piseang if he does the wrong thing".
@waitmyturtles offered a slightly different perspective, that almost "everything in this show is totally intentional, and...that [Kawi's] discomfort is totally meant to reflect those accusations from Krist’s past about his clear discomfort in acting out intimacy (especially juxtaposed with how much better he’s done with the intimacy in this show)".
So, all of this is to say that I need to start trusting this new wave of bl/qls - a message I obviously forgot from My School President and which has been proven by several other series this year.
And I need to trust Be My Favourite especially, because, as @williamrikers said, "they've swerved and avoided every other trope so far I believe that they're working towards something here". And I agree. Every episode has been fantastic and I haven't disliked a single thing about the show so far.
On top of that, I need to trust my newfound belief in Krist's acting, because he has pulled out some absolutely brilliant performances in this show so far - so why should I think ep 9 is any different?
#be my favourite#be my favorite#be my favorite the series#I do find it interesting that both eps I talk about are eps 9 of 12#it's probably just a coincidence...#or maybe from a story-telling perspective this is just where this particular beat needs to be hit#anyway...#this wasn't supposed to be long#ha!#thank you to everyone who contributed their thoughts on my ep 9 post#I am holding myself accountable#and checking the lenses through which I watch these show

Now, I'm not entirely sure what came first, the tcw show or all of the novels expanding on Mandalorian culture, but nonetheless it annoys me so much whenever i watch tcw and they depict the Mandalorian people, one of the most diverse cultures in starwars, all with blue eyes and blonde hair. Mandalorian is a culture, a religion, not a race. A creed anyone of any species or origin can join.
The Mandalorians were so prolific in adoption into their creed, that it lives on despite their ancestors -the Taung- having died out. All you even have to do in Mandalorian culture to adopt someone is speak a vow, (The gai bal manda) which is recognised by Mandalorian law. (and I'm distraught that in the Mandalorian show we didn't get to see Din speak this vow to Grogu, but I digress.)
The show also presents Sundari, Mandalore's capital at the time, as so... clinical and bare? Yes the new pacifist Mandalorians have foregone the war worshipping ways that founded their culture, but the worship of war also bred a celebration of life and relishing each moment and day you get -Shereshoy being the term for it. From a culture like this I'd expect a little more... soul to their home.
They dress everyone in such plain (lack of) colours too!! When the pacifist Mandalorians discarded their armour, did they discard the cultural meanings or importance of colour too? (And I'd love to see New Mandalorians treating their clothing with as much respect and reverence as they traditionally did armour, following the Resol'nare's tenet of Beskar'gam in their own, new way. I have so many thoughts on how the Resol'nare can apply to a peaceful lifestyle, but ultimately I know that's far too much detail for tcw to have delved into, and I'm sure i wouldn't be the first to talk about it, if only there was a show solely about Mandalorians that could explore their culture in such depth-)
Ever since I had a hyperfix on Mandalorian culture a year or two ago I haven't been able to consume Mandalorian related content the same way, and I am trying to resurrect the intense interest because it ended before I was able to learn Mando'a, and by goodness I think it might be working.
#starwars#mandalorian#mandalorian culture#mandalore#star wars tcw#tcw#I learned so much about Mandalorian culture in hopes to use it in a starwars dnd game#playing as my mandalorian oc#but I never got to use the knowledge#because I was the only one in the party autistic enough to have done thorough research beforehand#I named specific hyperspace lanes in my backstory man#I know my man's favourite FOODS#It's Uj'alayi btw#If i could draw people I'd be making sooo much oc content#Well i didn't learn about Mandalorian culture For dnd#the two just happened to coincide timewise i think

Can you show me how to use a pistol?
Napoleon ii
Step 1: aim at the target
Step 2: imagine it’s Metternich
Step 3: unleash your rage
#ask junot#(Junot and Napoleon II are two of my favourite historical figures and both of them were wronged by Metternich)#(coincidence? I think not)

I think sometimes you just have to make peace with the fact that your actual hobby is collecting books. And that that's okay.
#i used to devour eight books a week up until I was about 22#i couldn't fathom leaving anything in the house unread#then it's like my brain maxed out#coincided with my cptsd manifesting in crippling depression‚ triggering my bipolar#and hitting that mid-20s adhd wall where all your coping mechanisms fall apart#it's just been getting worse ever since#i can no longer read anything but fanfic#i was able to make a great headway through alexis hall's work but then I fell into a hyperfixation again so#bye bye everything else#i couldn't read comics even when I was back to hyperfixating on comics#i can't absorb things and when I do I can't hold them in my head#i used to be able to pull out entire passages of my favourite books from memory#now I can barely remember what happened in them#sometimes i wonder whether it even mattered that i used to be such a voracious reader#sure it gave me writing skills but i was never able to do much with them because of the complete mental and physical breakdown#and people young enough to be my kids write better than I ever did#i still have the thirst and hunger for knowledge and stories#but no capacity for it at all#books#reading#just adhd things#actually adhd#burnout#book collection#knee of huss

the first chapter of lover boy is really intense on an emotional level because So Many Things happen in quick succession it's like beau barely gets a chance to breathe and process it. meanwhile RR opening chapter is just felix and dorothy arguing in a laundromat.
#i used to have a problem with the lover boy first chapter bc i was like#i know what needs to happen thematically and i know the main plot beat that needs to happen to push it forward#but i didnt have any actual like. action to move to story to that place#in a way that had a causal chain#and now im like um!!!! is too much happening#anyway my other writing problem i realised via this chapter is i worry sooo much about the idea of coincidences#like the idea of just 'letting' something happen...in lb mainly two characters being in the same place at the same time#im like there has to be an intricate explanation for all of this which like yeah thats good to think about#but i also think coincidences are an important part of plot bc first of all coincidences happen#but its also not just the coincidence its the decisions the character s made that got them to that time and place#why they made those decisions and what they do afterwards etc....#anyway! i dont know where i was going with that#RR chapter one.....ngl....its SOOO bad lol#like structurally. the prose is fine#but its been 3 years and 5 different opening scenes for that novel and NONE of them hit#but that's a problem for future me#the thing is most of my ideas now come with an opening but RR never came with an opening just the concept#because the rest of the novel slayyyyys#actually i think out of all 3 my favourite atm is the third book LOL#update literally 10 minutes after writing these tags i have an idea for a new RR opening team that i want to sink my teeth into#6th time's a charm!

this is one of my favourite endings in the dunnettverse. i've read it so many times, and it always makes me feel so much. it's such a beautiful scene, a moment of genuine affection from nicholas with no motivation behind besides reassuring the king that he has his friendship. the king, who is enchanting, and alone, and young.
#house of niccolo#race of scorpions#hon rr#nicholas/zacco#screaming AND crying AND collapsing#i love this scene so much it's not normal. tattooing it on my back#coincidentally (it's not a coincidence) my other favourite endings are also about the genuine connection and love of nicholas with another#and then the disorderly knights ending because it slaps!#scales of gold next which means GELISSSSSSSS MY WIFE

I've realised that I absolutely love Cassandra now, by the way. it took a while but I've gone from 'I can't stand her' to 'she is my child and if anything happens to her I will murder someone'
#it was literally just because I didn't like the actress and I have absolutely no memory of WHY.#I think the only thing I've seen her in is relic hunter. maybe I thought she was annoying there? but it's been like 15+ years so I don't#remember that at all#anyway she's baby I love her#I'm almost done with season 3 and when I thought she was gonna die I. ooh I was so worried.#the librarians#cassandra cillian#I love them all (so much)#Jacob and Jenkins are my favourites lol#but I love everyone#well maybe except Flynn. he kind of goes from annoying to funny and back again. and he's gonna die apparently? I don't even mind 🤷#(she is my child. I say about someone who is 10+ years older than me lol)#I love her so much now that she's actually my phone wallpaper (her and Jacob. more of a coincidence really but the picture worked well#so it's nice 🥰)

Deercember Day Twelve: Sambar Deer | Brambles and Berries
The sambar (Rusa unicolor) is a large deer native to the Indian subcontinent, South China, and Southeast Asia that is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List since 2008. Populations have declined substantially due to severe hunting, local insurgency, and industrial exploitation of habitat. Analysis shows that the closest living relative of the sambar is most likely the Javan rusa of Indonesia; this is supported by reports that sambar can still interbreed to produce fertile hybrids with this species. Sambar use their height to their advantage in regards to their diet, as unlike smaller deer such as chital who share their range, sambar are browsers who often take advantage of fruiting seasons to eat the fruit which smaller species cannot access. Adult males and pregnant or lactating females possess an unusual hairless, blood-red spot located about halfway down the underside of their throats, referred to as a "sore spot". This sometimes oozes a white liquid, and is apparently glandular in nature, typically being active during the rut. More information here.

gus' first brawl in nv has him at first show up in disguise and is against a pyrus brawler, where he declares that friendship means nothing, only power matters.
gus' last brawl in nv has him at first show up in disguise again and is against a pyrus brawler again, except this time he says that the friendship and loyalty he has is the most important thing, rather than power.
#something something bookends#gus grav#im just tagging that someone might appreciate that#that HAS to be intentional its too much of a coincidence#i think about this on a daily basis btw#ep 5 and ep 39 being my favourite episodes of new vestroia i may be insane#im lying im actually so normal and not insane at all#gonna go rewatch those episodes so i can feel anguish again#ill get round to rewatching gi again jesse and kazarina are my favourites in gi#but for now. the eternal gus grav brainrot continues#and it will never end
