HIStory franchise is back?

HIStory X: 這個殺手非常冷* started filming today. ETA 1st quarter of 2027

SpeXial member Ian plays a has-been actor trying to revive his career

ARKis member and captain Alex plays a boy band member trying to shake his image of "just another pretty face"

they take on lead roles in a BL and forced cohabitation ensues

*這個殺手非常冷 translates to "this killer is very cold" but i haven't found the official english title yet. also history x because it's the 10-year anniversary of the franchise

we have another Taiwanese BL CP repeat!

Lin Pei Yu's Double Shuffle started filming today:

this is the story of Fan Jiang Rui Chen, cousin of Fan Zhe Rui in Kiseki: Dear to Me

Michael An will reprise his role as Fan Jiang Rui Chen

Lin Chia Wei will play Fan Wei Hsia

Jin Yun plays Fan Wei Hsia's junior from school

adapted from Lin Pei Yu's novel of the same name

(maybe we'll also see Fan Zhe Rui and Bai Zong Yi, at least as a cameo. this is less a sequel more of a spin-off of Kiseki but it is the same universe)

if it's not a bl then it's not queer. if it doesn't fit a certain group's definition of queer then it's not queer. if you don't perform queerness in a certain way then your stories aren't worth being told

i've never felt more ostracized as an aroace

sigh...i didn't say anything about this other part but since Yu Jin approved it himself I'll share

能幹 = capable

能 = can

幹 = do/fuck

so combined with my other post on the pun on beast:

能幹的小獸 capable little beast -> fuckable shou
