Duang With You, starring PorTeeTeePor, is now streaming on global Netflix.

The Netflix version is said to have slight changes and added scenes that we haven’t previously seen.

“Duang is a popular decorative arts student with a crush on Qinn, a popular but icy student from the Faculty of Music. With no idea how to approach him, Duang's initial confession isn't exactly successful, but he doesn't despair. With Qinn's blessing if not enthusiasm, he'll be pursuing him wholeheartedly. It isn't until a lecturer pairs them for a stage performance, however, that Qinn begins to feel swayed.”

GMMTV has terminated Justin Moir’s contract after he’s been reposting misogynistic, homophobic and transphobia posts on tiktok.

I think anyone that’s been defending him because he’s young you’re a bit despicable. Yes, he’s like what 15? 16? he’s young and he can and needs to learn and grow and mature, and we can give him that time because we know that young boys are the target audience for incel posts like that, but that does not mean he needs to be given a platform where he is surrounded by women and queer people while he still has this harmful, damaging mindset. Let him go off and learn from this, but away from this industry.

The Grim Lover has been pushed back from September 5th to November 28th.

at this point I’m desperate

gimme

So the blessing ceremony for Magic Lover is soon and they’ll announce Ohm’s new partner the same day and I’mma need everyone to be NORMAL!

Please for the love of our sanity do not start shit.

I do not care if you don’t like who they’ve chosen, do not say shit to them, at least wait to see how well they act together before saying you don’t like it.

Another thing I love about Knot is the weird bond Phatsa already has with Nakhun. Like, he’s resisting this fate as much as he can—refuses physical stuff, states his misery at being trapped, tries to stay out longer, won’t let people label them partners, resents/blames him for biting him.

But there’s a softness to his resistance, like the bonding is already happening almost without him noticing. He needs to be physically close (sitting together, hugging etc), he speaks gently when talking about his unhappiness, he calms Nakhun with a touch whenever his dad pisses him off, he doesn’t like thinking he’s mad about the car argument, he comes home immediately when Nakhun calls instead of sending someone.

I just think Oat is playing that contrast beautifully in his performance.

The mechanics of the plot and direction are clunky at times but the characterization and world building are fascinating.

Chermchey (2026)

| Thai, BL, Romance | 8/10🌟

1 Season, 10 Episodes, 45 minutes each.

Watch on GagaOOLala.

Starring: Tutor Koraphat Lamnoi & Yim Prarinyakorn Kansawa.

Synopsis: “Oeng, who has been hurt repeatedly in love, finds it hard to believe that he will ever meet true love in this lifetime. One day, he makes a wish at a temple, telling himself to "try one last time." At that very moment, he meets Intha, a rugged and confident bar owner. Intha trusts his instincts and begins pursuing Oeng openly, but Oeng, scarred by past pain, cannot bring himself to accept his feelings. As the two work and live together at ChermChey bar, with alcohol loosening their hearts and everyday care drawing them closer, they gradually go from strangers to becoming the person each wants to protect most.”

My Thoughts:

This is an entirely character driven series, there's not much of a cohesive plot, you have no idea where the next scene is gonna go but I enjoyed it.

And y'know people said their relationship moved very fast, it was also acknowledged in the series by the characters that they moved fast but honestly it felt pretty realistic (at least to me) for queer relationships to move at a quicker pace, especially given their situation.

This series was as much for them as it was for us fans. TutorYim haven't had a series together since 2024, I missed watching them together so much. They put a lot into this series but also clearly had fun with it. The Scent of Sorrow is the one I'm most excited for from the lineup and I can't wait for it!

every time Prem talks about Boun’s heart I wanna cry. He brings it up so much he’s so worried about him

[abstractelysium]

i need to talk about this.

so. they're in the car. tin has said that he meant what he wrote in the letter, setting a boundary. phob has just laid out his test - "I can forget [the letter/our past]. But you need to prove to me that you forgot all about it as well."

"Prove how?"

baby boy is T E R R I F I E D. (ongsa, those eyes, i swear to god. they gave his eyeballs secondary dialogue and he's locked. the fuck. in.) tin knows what's coming, and he's realizing that in all these years he spent burying his feelings, he never dug deep enough.

phob kisses him, and for half a second, tin has the willpower to resist, to reestablish the boundary he's trying so desperately to cling to. his hand even comes up to push phob away.

but once he does push phob away... there's that tear, running down the side of phob's nose. the reminder of all the pain they both feel, the choices phob was forced to make because of tin, the incredible guilt tin feels as the genesis of phob's suffering.

and it breaks his resolve immediately.

the only way he can repent for making phob cry is to tell the truth - and kiss him again. yes, i miss you. yes, i never forgot you. yes, i can't love anyone like i love you.

until he finds the scar on phob's arm... one more devastating reminder that tin letting himself love phob has only hurt him. ("You were with him when he had a hard time in life. I was the one who gave him the hard time.") tin can't be the reason phob suffers anymore.

so he flees the car.

I love that it was Mok sneaking around and going into Rome's bedroom rather than Rome doing it because it shows just how far Mok has come with regards to love. We already know Rome is lovesick and would not want to spend even a second apart from Mok but the fact that we get to see Mok doing it makes it even more special.

From being someone who had his walls up and did not think he'd ever get to love and be loved, we now see a version of him who's so happy with someone that he cannot spend one night alone.

He really went from being all about his duty and that being the sole purpose of his life to someone who has found his happy ending and allowed himself some form of happiness that he deserves. He has his walls down now.

Desire4’s next project is ‘Obsession’ as confirmed by NJ on Weibo earlier today.

today's a dog and a plane episode has made me realize how few QLs there are with queer couples talking about having kids.

absolutely need gmm to give taynew a series where they're dads, whether they're a couple that already has kids, single dads that meet and fall in love, or a series focusing on a queer couple going through the process of trying to have kids, what does that look like for gay couples wanting to have kids in thailand? I think that could be an important series to have.

Your Third, starring MaxNat, premieres July 26th.

“Sam has been secretly in love with someone for years. Just when he finally musters the courage to confess and start a relationship, his older brother, Song, swoops in and steals the spotlight. He's loved this person for so long, how could anyone expect him to just move on overnight? To nurse his broken heart, he escapes to a remote island in the south, hoping time and distance will heal the wounds. But his well-meaning yet utterly clueless older brother has other plans sending someone to drag him back home. Whether this person is here to retrieve him or just become another headache is still up for debate. Jam is the right-hand man to Song, a high-powered executive at a top-tier corporation. For the sake of career advancement, he goes above and beyond in his duties. His latest assignment is to locate and retrieve his artistic, angsty younger brother who has quite literally disappeared off the grid. Oh, and he has exactly two weeks to do it.”
