Absolute BL S2: Opening 🎉
And Absolute BL 2 continues to be a beautiful example of the pain of internalized homophobia and how much of a struggle it can be to try to get past those thoughts despite being otherwise accepting.
Mob is willing to accept that the entire world is gay as long as it's not anyone in his family. And he'd prefer not to be his friends either but he can accept that.
But you can see his growth in the second season. Not just for himself but also for his brother. He helps his brother make up with his boyfriend and is even happy for them until he reminds himself that he's not supposed to be.
And his feeling for Kikuchi have spent the entire season trying to grow and being ignored because Mob doesn't want to accept that side of himself.
He even considers faking amnesia just to escape from his own heart. There's no escape from yourself, though, as hard as you try. And the instant the voice in his head suggests he might care about someone else besides Kikuchi? All those feelings have nowhere to go and all that denial goes out the window.
Because Kikushi is the only person that truly respects Mob's boundaries and the only person who truly gives Mob space and time and doesn't constantly pressure him. And Mob knows that.
That doesn't make it easier to accept. But giving him time and space is what does.
@absolutebl IT HAS RETURNED!
The Man Who Defies The World Of BL 2 is on both Gaga and Viki and should be some of the sharpest and finest satire we'll see this year. I am SO thrilled to see this here y'all!

BONUS these goobers:
Favourite shows of 2022 (so far)? (Multiple choices appreciated) (Not so subtle request for recs since we tend to be in the same ballpark of what we enjoy 😅)
There are a good number of choices for this!
Triage is definitely one of my favorites. Oh, what a glorious show. I distrust time loops and they handled it so well. And I liked the main couple and the side couple and it was just... oh, it was a good show. And even had a fairly good ending!
What Zabb Man is one of my favorites because I am easy. It's cute, it had a good ending, it felt more adult than a lot of other attempting to be adult Thai shows and, I mean, it's got Bank and Bonus as the secondary main couple and I love them and they worked very well.
Absolute BL 2 came out out and it was just as good as you'd expect!
Star In My Mind is something I loved but a lot of people don't. I just... man, you give me a piner who can't speak his feelings and mutual pining with one person trying to stop pining and I just... love it. I eat it up. And the ending was just all fluff. NOTE: Sky in Your Heart is not recommended.
Old Fashion Cupcake is glorious and amazing and one of the best shows out ever let alone this year. Japan hit it out of the park with this one. Soft and mature adults and love and the idea of changing and growing at any age... oh, so good.
My Ride more soft BL from Thailand! So good, so darling, so fantastic. Just... super soft and gentle and more with the idea of adults finding romance. Love this show.
La Cuisine is soft and gentle and slow and adorable and it just... it has almost nothing, it's like Tossara only they added a pointless villain plot so over the top it served no purpose whatsoever... but the rest was just super soft and sweet?
Mr. Unlucky Has To Kiss! is adorable. Honestly, I really did like this one. Japan's been doing good this year.
Love Stage!!! is adorable and fun and cute and I just really enjoyed the whole thing though I wish it had been more easily accessible when it first came out. The end drama was pointless but it rarely isn't.
Cherry Blossoms After Winter I love this show, the only one of Korea this year that really knocked my socks off, honestly.
Cutie Pie I mean, yes. The arranged marriage BL got me. Ending is a bit weak for the main couple but, eh, overall good.
Also, currently airing, gotta add Minato Shouji Coin Laundry to this list. Because it is just that good.
