lollo | 30 | she/her | pan/aego | a blog where I figure out my feelings while watching characters and people I love through reading other people's thoughts since I can't put mine into words.
Okay, I don’t want to add flames on the P’Aof human bonfire that’s happening in fandom right now, but can we say overuse of recycled material, batman? OS2xBBSxATOTS was a rehash of everything we’ve already seen from the series. Did we need to see “Tian! It’s not a porno!” or “P’Pran, let me in! I need to Pee!” we already had Pa with the poor timing in the first episode. I get that it’s a running gag, but sir, do you not have any new material? This is taking the whole if it ain’t broke don’t fix it thing a step too far, imo.
I mean if they really wanted to recycle something, they should have had Korn be the coitus-interruptus, similar to EP9 but with the added bonus of tying in the Korn watches pornos gag.
Korn knocks. “Paaaaattt!! Open up! I’ve got beer! Ai’Pat! You better climb off your boyfriend. Nobody wants to see you two in a porno!”
Pat gives Pran a cheeky grin.
Pran: “No way, don’t even think about it, chief.”
Pat: “But everybody wants to seeeeee–!” with Ohm breaking the fourth wall and winking at the audience to an exasperated Pran/Nanon.
This is my post on the status of my writing, scheduling of posts and writing, which projects I've got ongoing, and what I intend to do in the nearest future and beyond. This can all be sorted into the following topics:
Posting Schedule
Current Projects and Workflow
My Future Plans (Writing Tips? Patreon? The Essence Thief Series?)
This will be a long-ass post, so I'll keep the most important thing, which is about the Posting Schedule, just up top.
1. Posting Schedule
Three Fridays in a row, I'll upload a chapter of my work, be it AHPH, DL, or my personal work. Then there will be a week without posting so that I can catch up on other stuff or take a break. This will be on a rotation.
AHPH: will be posted on the first Friday of the rotation until I finish DL, which is when I will dedicate both update slots for AHPH. AHPH has a very long story which I do not plan on finishing any soon. Who is your favorite hybrid so far?
DL: will be posted on the second Friday of the rotation. DL is actually reaching its end relatively soon, meaning a majority of the story has been posted already. Who is your favorite suspect?
Original work: will be posted on the third Friday of the rotation. I am either going to post here or on Wattpad. I've got so many projects I want to write about that I simply don't have time, or worse, procrastinate on all. I want to publish a book before the end of this year, however.
You can read more in detail about each project (and others in the works) in the next section.
To visualize the schedule:
Week 1: AHPH
Week 2: DL (until i finish it, then it will be AHPH)
Week 3: Original work
Week 4: Buffer
Now, this is not to say that there may be exceptions. Life happens, and I may miss a deadline. Or life also happens, and I post more than once. But I wanted to have some structure to it all so I don't leave anybody wondering if I am gone again or why I am not posting on the specific story.
For more clarity, I will configure some sort of progress bar/status on my page so that you can peek in at any time to see the progress of my work. I will also add dates for the expected updates!
2. Current Projects and Workflow
Currently, I can divide my work into two sections. Ao3 and my original work. As such, I will discuss them separately.
On Ao3, I have no plans currently of adding another story other than DL and AHPH. While I have considered and planned out a sequel for DL, I don't know if I can handle it currently. My research for DL, while extremely interesting, is also very morbid. And that sort of thing tears at your mind. Though, this is not to say never. I know a lot of you really enjoy AHPH, but surprisingly, most people say they love DL the most. So it might be subject to change.
AHPH has a different sort of setup than any of my other writing pieces. I'd consider it more like a TV series, with plenty of episodes you can look forward to and with no end quite in sight as of yet. I do have an idea for a larger, overarching story plot, but that won't be relevant for quite a while, and won't be essential to anyone just reading it for the easy fun.
Regarding my personal work, I have an insane amount of stuff I want to write. But to keep things relatively brief, I can disclose three series I plan for the future. I could give more of an in-depth explanation of these in another post if anybody's interested.
The Winter King: a Beauty and the Beast fantasy retelling with the roles reversed. It will be a trilogy, and it is currently the story I've gotten the farthest on. There will be fae, demons, and gods and spirits, but also geopolitical conflicts and court intrigue.
A Witch of Fates (TBD): a historical/fantasy series set in the 14th century. I call this a "continental fantasy", because it has to do with discovering a new wild continent away from the known world. Will contain witches, telekinetic mages, and an ancient advanced civilization of godlike beings that disappeared mysteriously in the past. This is also something I started a year ago, and will be a many-part series.
A Hunt of Silver and Starlight (TBD): a high fantasy series with an urban fantasy concept (?) is how I'd explain it. It's set in a multiverse where all the worlds are connected through ley lines, with all of them centering in this one city. It is possibly my most ambitious work, containing anything from the Seelie and Unseelie Court, the Wild Hunt, to vampires, elves and monsters. But it's also been my most giving as I've gone through worldbuilding and storyboarding with ease. It will also be a multi-part series, and I've already got a sequel series in the works.
I am currently in the process of trying my best not to write on all three and just stick to one story. Let me know if any of these stand out to you!
3. My Future Plans (Writing Tips? Patreon? The Essence Thief Series?)
So, what are my future plans?
I want to keep on posting on Ao3 and writing my own thing. I will obviously not be able to publish my Ao3 work, but since I dream of becoming an author, I will be spending the majority of my time and energy on that (and obviously my studies and mental and physical health), which I hope is understandable.
In order to branch out more as an author, I have also been considering getting out there on other media platforms! But this is something I have to get back to you with.
I wonder if there's anyone interested in learning more tips and tricks on how to write. I used to do a segment called Writing (Writer's?) Wednesdays, where I'd make a post on a storytelling aspect and describe how to plot a chapter, make characters, figure out ideas, how to world-build, etc. If that's something that you'd be interested in, let me know!
Another topic I have been considering is Patreon or Ko-fi. For a small fee, I'd offer the following:
The Essence Thief in eBook format
Exclusive posts of the AHPH crew (such as camping trips, birthdays, requests, and gratuitous NSFW) These would be canon but otherwise hard to include in the current flow I've got for AHPH.
Take writing requests of X amount of words for people
Early access view of all my writing (personal, Ao3)
Any other book I publish will also be available here weeks before the official release
Personal help and assistance with your writing
And more!
Obviously, times are incredibly rough for all of us, so this is just a suggestion! The main goal of the Patreon would be so I could write more.
Regarding The Essence Thief series, I am currently putting it on hiatus. It was not until a few days ago that I finally managed to free myself from the last of the negative influences that have been haunting me for many years. I can honestly say, that it's not until now, after 25 years of living, that I've felt somewhat liberated. Somewhat free. And right now, TEP reminds me too much of all the horror that's still lingering there at the periphery of my mind. I won't cancel TEP entirely, as I still feel like there will be a time when I can return to it, but as of now and in the nearest future, it is not part of my writing plan.
people willfully misunderstanding the whole point of cho yeong’s arc was not to return to who she was but to grow and find a purpose in life that she chose for herself
I wanted season 2 to show us bad ass assassin Naksu but she never became that because it wasn’t her choice to become one in the first place. Now she’s free to choose whatever her room will look like 👏
All the folks complaining that we didn’t get “badass Naksu” back really are showing that the only way they think a female character can be strong is if she kicks ass. Was Naksu awesome? Of course. But she was also the version of Cho Yeong that was abused, neglected, forced into becoming magically and physically powerful as a tool for Jin Mu. In the end, Cho Yeong made her own choice to reclaim her birth name, stick with the divine powers she received from Bu Yeon, and be happy and free alongside the person she loves. Also, would you want to go back to using the magic and the sword that you were forced to kill your lover with?! Yeong and Uk both spend the whole story chasing freedom, and they both got it in the end. They are both powerful, both free of others’ control, both happy with each other. I don’t see how that isn’t an ideal ending.

Summary:
High school Pat and Pran cope through their three-year separation by writing to each other.
It’s not sonnets or poetry, but when all you have are words, what’s left unsaid is often the loudest.
Helloooo. Happy 2023 to all! May the new year bring health and happiness and more OhmNanon content. I haven’t been as active on Tumblr or the BBS fandom as of late. But with the new year, what better resolution to make than to set aside more some any time for myself (something I desperately didn’t have in the latter half of 2022, long story that I won’t bore you with except to say that real life can be soul-crushing at times). But as a mea culpa for my extended absence, here’s a BBS fanfic that I wrote. *Takes a deep breath*. I hope you like it.
Pat's extensive knowledge of Pran's pencils makes me both laugh, think he might be a stalker and go all gooey at the same time. Totally my favorite part.
Pran sitting in a chair about to topple over with him in it but Pat preventing it from going down is such a great metafor for their entire relationship as we know it *sob*
10 Favourite Series/Movies I watched in 2022
(Fave Series for @asianlgbtnetwork 2022 Recap)
Bad Buddy (dir. Aof Noppharnach Chaiwimol )

Ever since they were young, Pran and Pat’s families had a deep and raging rivalry — trying to one-up each other on everything. This also extended towards their sons. It was almost like rivalry was passed down as a family heirloom and the two boys became rivals as well. Until… they grew tired and became friends. Really good friends. However, because of their families’ rivalry, their friendship had to be kept under wraps. And so began a journey of secret friendship… and then perhaps a sweet secret romance?
