I just realized I have a thing about couples having tragic and unhinged Greek/Roman myths as references
And even Corintheus is perfect with Pygmalion and Galatea story and numbers of fanfic that speak for itself
If I have a nickel for every time Greek/Roman myths were dropped as references for my OTP I'd have two (even three) nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
Finally finished Dead Boy Detectives, I can rest peacefully now
Because the show is so good, beyond my expectation, been a long long times since I love a show with main characters who are teens this much.
I wanna write so many things right now
But first, let's talk about my main reason to watch the series, Edwin and Charles aka Painland 😭 It will be a very long times until we shippers could see them kiss *sob* But on the bright side, we still have Edwin's feeling realization and love confession in this season and tbh it happened earlier than i've expected. But still...the SLOWBURN, slow burn in fiction is great but in film (especially series)...I have a love/hate relationship with it, cuz it's possible that we won't see them be officially together because yk Netflix *shrug*, also they haven't been canoned in the comics yet (according to my research), so basically i'm just scared of the show being cancelled 😢 Beside, why I still love slowburn and need it because it's necessary, it makes their relationship more beautiful and imo slowburn makes romance better.
Secondly, the most funny thing in the series is that almost all of the characters were interested in Edwin, romantical way, platonic way, wicked evil way, all the ways lol
Thirdly, I don't really like the Cat King at first but now he's my favorite just after my dead boys. He's like Desire of The Endless and The Corinthian at the same times, he's not bad guy but also not a good guy, he's kinky, bitchy, sexy, and most importantly he has also been charmed by Edwin 🤭
And now we have to wait a couples years for season 2 I want to cry 😭
Dead Boy Detectives's first episode is super goooooood 😭😭😭
Few more hours and we'll get to watch the rest of the season I'M SO EXCITED
The soundtracks are banger, the color is pretty, the dialogues been written beautifully, the comedy bits was well done...I'm totally in love with all the characters
Our Painland will be definitely a slow burn but (according to all the hints in the live) it seems to happen right in the first season I'M SO HYPED
"friend to lover" trope has never been my cup of tea for a ship, i might be interested in them but i will get bored quickly after a couple of weeks
BUT if the ships are "friend to lover" with shared trauma, (over)protectiveness and codependency??
HELL YEAH I'M IN
I don't know what i'll become when Dead Boy Detectives come out, 2 more days 😭
It's been a looooong times since i hyperfixated on a ship before the film comes out and i didn't even read the comics, just did some research about them
P/s: I signed up for DBD virtual screening and the event is at 4 freaking AM where i live, yes, everything for my boys *sob*
I'm super on board with joining the ship of these two dead boys
Until i saw them kissing other characters...
I'M EVEN MORE ON BOARD
Pfft what's canon anyway lol
P/s: I just have a little research and known that Edwin just realized his feeling for his mate in the recent issue of the comic. But we can't guarantee that the show will have more than one season, it's Netflix yk...*shrug* Still, i'm soooo excited and i think Payneland will become my new hyperfixation soon
Even until half of the show they only met each other face to face twice 😂
Opposite, different but still the same, always one of my best ship dynamics
They both have such cute names!
당 = Tang = Nickname for Sugar and used at the end of words to cute-ify them.
난감 = Nan Gam = Embarrassed. Impossible. Awkward. Because you're at a loss, in a sticky situation, or facing a conundrum, a paradox. His full name Jang Nan Gam means Toy, and can sometimes be slang for 'Are you playing with me?".
It's no wonder Detective Jang said he felt a kinship with Lee Tang because of their awkward names and that he became a cop so people would take him seriously.
Okay now i'm getting real thirsty for some new gay-undertone kdramas
I desperately want to know what upcoming kdramas (specifically thriller/crime genre) that have potential shippable pair of male lead characters (or supporting char) or have gay-undertones mxm pairing or have homoerotic antagonism vibe (even better)
There are two upcoming netflix's series that seems pretty good, Killer's Paradox (Choi Woo Sik and Son Suk Gu are the leads) coming out next month and Weak Hero Class 2 but it will come out last year i'm afraid. But I NEED MOREEEEEEE.
I already read a list of some upcoming drama this year but major of it has male-female leads so i don't really have much hope tho 🥲
5 out of 6 are age gap, also my new found ship dynamic this year lol. And only one is het ship, Revenant and them are so special, so precious to me, for sure no.1 kdrama of 2023 ❤️
Also my new found ships that not related to Kdrama: Spiderdads (Across the Spiderverse), Hyunho (Stray Kids) and Cattonquick (Saltburn)
Let's cross our heart for more good homoerotic kdramas next year, i'm so thirsty always thirsty for more 🙏
Chilling in bed wrapped in cozy blanket drinking hot tea watching a psychosexual fucked up unhinged toxic dead doves red flag queer movie, there's no better way to enjoy Christmas amirite 🎄
