The Princess: A Powerful Tale of Female Strength and Determination

This movie really impacted me. Despite not receiving great reviews, that doesn’t matter to me because, in my opinion, it’s a solid 5 out of 5. I have a penchant for action-packed movies, especially those featuring women. The concept of a female assassin is unparalleled. Growing up I always felt powerless so I gravitate more to women kicking ass. This explains my fondness for this film. It is a…

Reel Fashion (Wakanda Forever)

This is going to be a long on so buckle up b*tches lol Black Panther is a film that has left an indelible mark on us. It first graced our screens in 2018. We were keenly aware of the cultural revolution it was set to ignite. Until then, African American superheroes were scarce, let alone ones proud of their African heritage. The fervor surrounding the movie was unprecedented. People flocked to…

This is best case scenario SM owns all the rights to anything and everything that is EXO so if they left all of that plus the exo name is lost

So staying as a group yet free to do what they want is a win win for them right now

I never thought jafirst would do something past dsn special episode IYKYK but here we are

[marbles290]

I’m Ngl yall I give shows 4 episodes before u decided to not continue a show. Right now I’m on the edge of Only Friends . For me it’s not giving me anything yet

Beside everything being messy and sex

[marbles290]

Name one man in BL that just gets you going you can’t explain why he just does I will go first … heheh

It is something about him that just gets me going

[queersouthasian]

I swear people be watching a show and be like "Where is the consent??" "This is very toxic" blah blah blah, omg this is a piece of fiction and it's impossible to create something if writers continuously try to cater to the moral value of the audience

Be My Favorite (2023)

[marbles290]

Here is my prediction of the last episode of Be My Favorite

I think Pisaeng has to go back to the future (hehe) for them to be equal he has to do that. kawi is probably gonna make him see he can’t change everything

So he has to go to the future and face whatever is happening there

When he gets back kawi will be stable and he will recover

Now I do think he will change something in the past but I don’t know what (he’s to smart not to)

The end will be Pears wedding

I wish they got married and stuff but I don’t think that will happen unfortunately.

I don’t wanna get my hopes up and be let down especially by this show because it has been awesome and probably my top BL of 2023

[marbles290]

Just stopping in to say

I WAS RIGHT

[marbles290]

I know one thing we all know Pisaeng married that boy probably a year or two after that last scene lmao

And what else we know Pisaeng definitely got some that night after the beach after that last kiss kawi laid on him 😂😂😂

[marbles290]

Ok I’m adding to this Episode 12 as I go along BARE WITH ME this will be long

The way we get answers the 1st MINUTE of the new episode love that for us. We now know he is a songwriter. I believe I said it somewhere that the reason Kawi wasn’t singing is because of privacy and some other factors

Also I love how you can tell when Pisaeng has something on his mind because he just stay quiet and stares

It’s such a good conversation because now Pisaeng feels like there relationship is the reason he didn’t sing with the record label

WHY ARE THEY SO CUTE Just staring at each other

I knew that’s what he was going to say but now it’s loaded he is not only talking about kawi getting sick but his career as well . Pisaeng thinks he/their relationship is the reason Kawi won’t become a idol . If they break up kawi probably not around Pisaeng to get sick and he will be a idol

He said it I mean WE BEEN KNEW but to hear him say it 😭😭😭

Like I said in my other post Pisaeng had to learn that somethings he can’t change. They realize that if they hold hands they can get through it together. It’s rough to think about but kawi learned that from his father and now Pisaeng learned it. You can’t or maybe you don’t want to change anything. Even IF Kawi died they had so many beautiful years together

Also they look GOODT together (and max ofc)

The fact they was so wrapped up in each other they didn’t even realize he was there. It just shows Pisaeng was the right choice the WHOLE Time

I will close this by saying this will be a top bl of 2023 to me . Was it flawless No but the plot the script the actors just A+. Ngl GMMTV has not been pulling me in since ATOTS this show was not only a breath of fresh air but also well thought out. I gotta give it to GawinKrist there chemistry was off the charts and I know it surprised so many ppl including myself . They both are amazing actors and deserve nothing but praise. So happy Gawin got his lead role.

The themes that was touched on here was beautiful to watch and things ppl need to hear and see be represented

[twig-tea]

This is for you friend!

Completely agree, I loved that they took a moment to explain that Kawi was choosing to stay out of the spotlight. Also, considering how much of this show was talking directly to everything that Krist experienced, I wonder how he was feeling about that choice.

And yessss your point about Kawi and Pisaeng not even seeing time travel magic guy because they were so wrapped up in one another is perfection 🥰

I love how this story has brought me out of my bl slump. I love fantasy shit it’s my jam

What I want to know is why? Why did the writers make pisaeng spin it at that moment ?

He had so many years to spin it and they could’ve waited until they lived together then have Pisaeng spin it for the 1st time

So ofc something tells us that that moment in time is extremely important

Now if what most ppl think that Pisaeng is going to try and leave Kawi then this time makes sense because after they go to pound town the relationship changed and got deeper

Now if he doesn’t leave kawi do they still board the train to pound town. And let’s not even talk about how if this Pisaeng at 30 something has sex with past Kawi he probably will blow his mind and back out . Pisaneg as gotten to know Kawi body over all these years

I strongly believe that all of the communication that everyone thought was lacking will all be revealed episode 12

Collection of Be My Favorite Meta after Ep 11 pre Ep 12

[I will try to come back and update this too so please tag me if you see good stuff not mentioned!]

Sorry if me organizing things this way offends anyone, this is mostly for myself to be able to refer back to specific thoughts from everyone's meta so I've grouped posts by points being made which means some posts get linked a bunch of times and a some points in each post may not be represented below because my brain can only hold so much. Please feel free to let me know if you hate it!:

Episode 11 didn't give us the resolution we wanted re: the lie in ep 10: @lurkingshan was right out of the gate with this take.

Maybe Episode 12 will fill the communication gap in ep 10 like we all wanted by giving Pisaeng a chance to say what was left unsaid: @bengiyo put this in his original thoughts and I am still thinking about it! @incandescentflower wrote a really great post on some of the ways Pisaeng leaves things unsaid

Pisaeng time travelling puts Pisaeng and Kawi on equal footing: @bengiyo wrote the definitive piece on this and credit to @grapejuicegay for making a similar point; @he-is-lightning-in-a-bottle made this point too. [ADDED]

There was something off about the montage in ep 11: @bengiyo made this point; @waitmyturtles added some notes about why and @visualtaehyun added a couple notes on this too; @jjsanguine posited an interesting wrinkle about the stasis of time travel and whether that could be what needs to be fixed

[on the other side of this with me is the "the montage was satisfying" crowd: @thegalwhorants wrote this; @incandescentflower I think your post counts too; gonna link myself here too] [ADDED]

The ep 11 scene with Pisaeng and the doctor is extremely important and painful: @heretherebedork wrote a beautiful post about this; @nemesis-21 did too; @marbles290 did too; @visualtaehyun put this in the current Thai political context; @snidgetwrites added the Indian political context [ADDED]

They might go back to decide to fight for equal rights: @rocketturtle4 said this really well

They might go back and decide to use the system to their advantage and get Kawi and Pear to marry: @grapejuicegay laid this one out

They might go abroad to be able to get married like Pisaeng's mom wanted: @marbles2900 wrote about this [NEW]

Kawi's death may be unavoidable: @williamrikers summarized this nicely here; @shortpplfedup seems to be hinting at thinking the same?, @thegalwhorants posited this too; so did @knighthacker here; also theorized this in my ep 11 reaction post; @minorista wrote great angst about this and @neonsbian added the twist of them riding the time loop to stay together [ADDED]

The point may be that time travel isn't the answer/can't solve everything, and love takes work: @waitmyturtles made this point, and I love it

Pisaeng may try to break up with Kawi in the past: @rebel0777 laid out options for how this would play out; @tinycowboybro noted Pisaeng foreshadowed this; @zzh3 added that maybe Kawi goes to find him on the same beach [ADDED]

Has Pisaeng already been time-travelling?: @waitmyturtles added this wild theory that the montage was time travel Pisaeng's perspective [NEW]

This means the timeline we saw has been erased: @ellaspore wrote this very eloquently; some folks have chimed in to say they're ok with this (@rocketturtle4 and @bengiyo)

BUT WHERE IS THE CAT: @sparklyeyedhimbo made possibly my favourite observation thus far [ADDED]

For anyone confused, here's how the time travel mechanism works in this show: @telomeke wrote a great explainer out, and @benkaaoi makes an important point about why it matters, @jjsanguine laid this out too (I'm going to be selfish and link my reblog thread because I built on this a little in my reply)

I tried my hand at figuring out the timeline for the show here. [ADDED]

[updated 2pm EDT Aug 6]

[marbles290]

What’s sad is all the things Pisaneg mother talked about came to bite him in the ass. I still think her tone was wrong but her words was right in the end I do think she just wanted the best for him. All of the hardships he would have to endure esp the lack of equality because now he is seeing it first hand .

The man he spent over 5+ years with his best friend and partner is dying and he has no say in it

This is exactly what his mom was talking about. Now I’m not sure going aboard is the answer. Now the question is how will Pisaeng fix this . I got a feeling he gonna try and leave kawi . And here is what scares me is kawi death destined like his fathers ? Because if that’s the case then there is nothing Pisaeng can do 😭😭😭

I just want a happy ending I want my boys together and MARRIED somehow
