I’ve been on tumblr since 2009 but this particular blog was born during the airing of Bad Buddy, when I needed a space to scream about my love for Pat and Pran and to interact with other likeminded people.

I started watching BL drama in February 2021 with Manner of Death and then swiftly moved through over seventy other series during that year (yes, I binge-watched a lot). I'm probably on 235 now (as of Jan 2025).

My current top ten (Mar 2025) (Also, I'm cheating with three at the no. 6 spot 🤷🏽‍♀️):

Bad Buddy

Be my Favourite

History 3: Trapped

We Are

ThamePo

Kiseki: Dear to Me

The Eclipse | My School President | Moonlight Chicken

To My Star 1 & 2

Laws Of Attraction

A special shout out to 10 Years Ticket which, although not a QL series, is the best thing I've seen for a long time. Seriously, go watch it. It's magnificent.

I'm currently watching Boys in Love, My Stubborn, My Golden Blood, Something is Not Right, Top Form, Business As Usual, Sweet Tooth Good Dentist, Fight For You, Pit Babe 2, and The Next Prince...and generally will never be over Bad Buddy. (I also get very busy with work, so I don't always reblog a lot of stuff...)

I wrote a lot of posts about the costumes/colour-coding of Bad Buddy (and afterwards, Enchanté, Vice Versa, and Chains of Heart) - I don't know why I get so drawn in by it, I neither work in fashion nor really had any previous in-depth interest in costuming of tv-shows or colour symbolism, but Bad Buddy turned out to be something special and I couldn't resist - especially all of Pat’s crazy shirts.

I'm currently documenting the shared clothing across Thai series aka The Thai Communal Wardrobe (and a few Taiwanese ones).

I explain my url here, in case you’re curious.

Hya!

I'm watching Payback and in ep 6 everybody's favourite uncle is wearing an embroidered burgundy velvet jacket that i KNOW i've seen somewhere, but i can't place it. Are you able to help?

I feel like it was more likely an event, not in a show, but maybe you remember it!

i have the vaguest feeling that i might have seen it worn by Apo Nattawin, mostly because it looks like something he'd wear, but i genuinely can't say

Thanks anyway!

Hi Luna! Thanks for thinking of me with this ask...unfortunately, I'm not sure I recognise it from anything...although the longer I look at it the more I do wonder if I have seen it before 🤭

Maybe someone else can help out though 🤞🏽

[heretherebedork]

Sir!? Do you sleep between playing BL dads or just... never stop!?!? Tom Phollowat... at least this time you get to be nice about it?

Edit: He is playing the dad in three currently airing BLs! THREE! And of his last nine projects? SIX are QL dads! He found a role and he's gonna DO IT.

[dribs-and-drabbles]

Coincidentally, he's also wearing the BL Dad Shirt...worn also by bl fathers in Step by Step (2023) and Jack & Joker (2024).

Ateez | BAD

I've been an Atiny for a year now and experienced 5 comebacks from them (I won't ever find that term not weird) and become well acquainted with their whole discography. And the reason I love them and their music so much is that it has so much variety. Every album has a different style, a different flavour.

I had planned on writing about the NASA performance video when it came out but I had so much to say and not enough time or spoons to do it, so I didn't...but I am going to write about BAD because I enjoyed it so much. I love it.

I love the opening. The font for the text, the guitar riff we hear with it, Seonghwa's entrance with the hat on a slant, and everyone's silent head turn - it gives me 'a stranger entering a saloon' vibes in his interruption of the wedding. It also reminds me of the opening of NASA, where Seonghwa seemed to be the space explorer landing on a foreign planet for the first time.

I love the scale of the mv and the choreography - it's crowded and vibrant, and with a touch of absurdity. The choreography is simple but effective. And with so many people, we get formations like this three-sided square created by the dancers and surrounding our boys, all facing Chase as Sopro...which was originally a cube.

There's a shrine to Yeosang!

I love that there are so many women in the video/choreography, and that they get to showcase just how equally strong and athletic they are. This part in particular is no joke for the thighs.

There's a fire breather!

And the Bouncy Goat!

I love the set, how elaborate everything is, and that the amount of people also create the possibility for this kind of overhead shot - it reminds me of how musical numbers in films often have these, adding to the extravagance. It feels camp-y and almost like a parody.

I love this particular moment:

AND THIS:

I love that Seonghwa's comment about his yellow hair and that we would 'understand when the song comes out' might have been a Legally Blonde reference with his pink clothes in the courtroom (credit to @handlebarstiedtothestars for this realisation!).

And lastly, I love that the amount of dancers enables this heart-shaped formation at the end, echoing not only back to the heart of flowers on the wall in the beginning but also to the album as a whole, which Hongjoong has mentioned is about love.

Have I mentioned I love it?

I have to say it...I think Kanit and Toto are New and Tay's best roles to date.

“I’m afraid of getting cancer from the cadmium in my painting supplies” I’m not 😌 I love you cadmium yellow. I love you vermillion red. I love you uranium orange, haven’t worked with you but I love you nevertheless. Most of all I love you arsenic green.

[byjove]

This dress could kill you but I completely understand why people in the late 19th century were willing to take that risk.

[byjove]

Here is uranium orange fiestaware, proving that beauty truly is pain.

[byjove]

just found out about London purple 🤤

[bundibird]

I was wondering what was involved with London purple so as to merit its inclusion alongside such stars as arsenic green and uranium orange, and --

Ah, cool, gotcha

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

Do you like the color of the poison?

[english-history-trip]

You know what was used as yellow dye for almost thirty years between its discovery and its current use?

TNT.

[dribs-and-drabbles]

Can we base colour theory for characters on these?

[mewsthumbring]

[mewsthumbring]

Guys, are we putting together a ragtag team of rebels with hearts of gold and a good cause? Is this Not Me 2: GMMTV Heist?? @berestweys @befuddledcinnamonroll @stilesinwonderland

[mewsthumbring]

“tumblr’s eleven” made me cackle @outofthemouthsof 😄 you’re in!

[mewsthumbring]

Let’s be real @stilesinwonderland Joong would be in the closet helping me crop Tay’s tops. You can still join though @karebear923 we can come up with Spanish code words ✨

[befuddledcinnamonroll]

I am getting so stoked for this! Let's goooooo!

[kestrelcry]

I'm convinced the biggest danger Joong would pose to this endeavor is getting everybody caught by arguing too loudly about how the sleeves should all come off too.

[mewsthumbring]

There would be no arguing; those sleeves are coming off.

[dribs-and-drabbles]

Can I come too? Also to help the cause but actually I need a peek into that closet to see all the shared clothing...and I can be the decoy because if someones catches us then I can whip out The Spreadsheet™️ and start asking about how they reuse the clothes all the time.

[bedbugbiting]

My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.

I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”

[bomberqueen17]

I searched and searched for the post this graphic was from, and the OP deactivated, but I kept the graphic, because my BFF does the same thing, uses her imagination to come up with the worst pain she can imagine and pegs her “10″ there, and so is like, well, I’m conscious, so this must be a 5, and then the doctors don’t take her seriously. (And she then does things like driving herself to the hospital while in the process of giving birth. Probably should have called an ambulance for that one!)

So I found this and sent it to her. Because this is what they want to know: how badly is this pain affecting you? Not on a scale of “nothing” to “how I’d imagine it’d feel if bears were eating my still-living guts while I was on fire”. 

I hate reposting stuff, but I’ll never find that post again and OP is deactivated, so, here’s a repost. I can delete this later, i just wanted to get it to you and I can’t embed images in a chat or an ask.

This is possibly why it took several weeks to diagnose my fractured spine.

[petralemaitre]

Pain Scale transcription:

10 - I am in bed and I can’t move due to my pain. I need someone to take me to the emergency room because of my pain.

9 - My pain is all that I can think about. I can barely move or talk because of my pain.

8 - My pain is so severe that it is difficult to think of anything else. Talking and listening are difficult.

7 - I am in pain all the time. It keeps me from doing most activities.

6 - I think about my pain all of the time. I give up many activities because of my pain.

5 - I think about my pain most of the time. I cannot do some of the activities I need to do each day because of the pain.

4 - I am constantly aware of my pain but can continue most activities.

3 - My pain bothers me but I can ignore it most of the time.

2 - I have a low level of pain. I am aware of my pain only when I pay attention to it.

1 - My pain is hardly noticeable.

0 - I have no pain.

[airagorncharda]

It’s also really important to get this kind of scale to people who have chronic pain, because chronic pain drastically lowers your perception of how “bad” any kind of pain actually is, and yet something like this pain scale is extremely user friendly. 

For example, if someone asked me how much pain I’m in at any given time, I’d say hardly any, and yet I’m apparently at a chronic 2.5, and it only goes up from there depending on the day. 

There’s also a similarly useful “Fatigue Scale”

[jedijenkins]

I haven’t been below a 5 on this scale for 4 years 

[nerdgasrnz]

Here’s the fatigue scale

[sunny-day-sky]

Fatigue scale image desc:

10: can barely move; can’t talk

9: can barely move; can talk

8: can move, but can’t do much more than watch TV

7: can watch TV and play a game on my phone simultaneously

6: can do work on my computer lying in bed

5: can get around the house, but definitely couldn’t go out

4: can run a light errand

3: can get in my 10,000 steps, making my fitbit happy

2: can do three or more activities in a single day

1: going clubbing!

See also the Mental Health Pain Scale by Graceful Patient:

Mental Health Pain Scale transcription:

MILD

1 - Everything is a-okay! There is absolutely nothing wrong. You’re probably cuddling a fluffy kitten right now. Enjoy!

2 - You’re a bit frustrated or disappointed, but you’re easily distracted and cheered up with a little effort.

3 - Things are bothering you, but you’re coping. You might be overtired or hungry. The emotional equivalent of a headache.

MODERATE

4 - Today is a bad day (or a few bad days). You still have the skills to get through it, but be gentle with yourself. Use self-care strategies.

5 - Your mental health is starting to impact on your everyday life. Easy things are becoming difficult. You should talk to your doctor.

6 - You can’t do things the way you usually do them due to your mental health. Impulsive and compulsive thoughts may be hard to cope with.

SEVERE

7 - You’re avoiding things that make you more distressed, but that will make it worse. You should definitely seek help. This is serious.

8 - You can’t hide your struggles any more. You may have issues sleeping, eating, having fun, socialising, and work/study. Your mental health is affecting almost all parts of your life.

9 - You’re at a critical point. You aren’t functioning any more. You need urgent help. You may be a risk to yourself or others if left untreated.

10 - The worst mental and emotional distress possible. You can no longer care for yourself. You can’t imagine things getting any worse. Contact a crisis line immediately.
