Big Dragon Ep 3 Stray Thoughts
When we last left the Shitty Boys, they were at a pool party with heavy pours, and I questioned the decision to allow so much glass near a pool. For the first time in a while, we reflected on the potential physical realities of overaggressive anal intercourse, and I lamented that BL rarely explores m/m intimacy beyond penetrative sex.
- Yes, give us the pool shot again.
- For all that I'm struggling a bit with this show, I do want to praise the visual production values from Star Hunter. This show has been very visually pleasing and easy on the eyes. There was a period in 2020 where everything was way too bright and white.
- I forgot Mangkorn looked like a lifeguard.
- I feel like if he was serious about destroying the phone, he'd microwave it. Also, in the age of cloud storage, the video is definitely not stored on the phone.
- Mangkorn: "You're pretty stupid for a villain. Let's fuck again."
- Oh, a frank request for consent followed by role-play. It's time to tag @lutawolf in, because the show is going there.
- I think I like that the show ended that scene on a joke. I'm also glad that we have more shows presenting fellatio as a quickly-accessible form of m/m pleasure.
- These two are so weird about each other.
- Can't believe we had a scene where we had a mic'd actor brush his mic repeatedly and then change shirts. Pain.
- And now they're on a date??
- Oh, hey elder gays. And now this show had joined the call for marriage equality with a sad piano backing track. Add it to the list!
- Really loving Thai BL this year being very plain about support for queer issues.
- So Mangkorn runs off to buy noodles from a place right near Yai's condo? I mean it's nice since Yai is dealing with discomfort, but it still reads a bit weird to me.
- I get that this scene is meant to show them contemplating each other, but I really hope it didn't take Yai hours to eat noodles in the same spot while Mangkorn was working.
- I enjoyed Da. Hopefully we see her again.
- The communication between Yai and his guards leaves much to be desired.
- Another show with ghosts? Well, she's using her powers for good. I wonder how many points that cost her.
- Should we start a running tally of damaged phones in this show? Current count: 2
- We go from yearning for marriage equality to an arranged marriage only the dads seem into. The whiplash.

It's been a while since I watched a MAME show. Everyone is very attractive, but I'm always slightly frowning about something.

180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us Ep 3 Thoughts
- I'm still not over the architectural bars in the middle of In's room.
- Wang is attractive in a way that feels unusual for Thai dramas I'm used to.
- The confidence in the ritualistic way In made that coffee was kinda hot.
- The flirting over coffee and speaking between the lines brought me back to 1000 Stars for a moment. It's kinda interesting that Coffee Melody hasn't hit this level of sexual tension over coffee.
- It's absolutely captivating watching a show from Thailand where the cinematography feels intentional the entire time. The conversation over breakfast is mostly just A-B cuts, but putting In and Sawimol in one frame highlights the choices they've made as adults that separates them from Wang. Going to the wide shot of the table highlights the gulf between both parties. Then, as soon as Sawimol exits, the two men are reaching across that Gulf over shared purpose. Finally, the overhead shot and pan indicates that they've reached a private accord. I'm gonna lose it.
- I think I am glad that Wang apologized to his mom, even if the inherent codependency of their dynamic worries me. I think it's okay for Wang to disapprove of the dated nature of some of her work, but it was indeed incredibly rude for him to deride her the way he did.
- In explaining that he doesn't cry by avoiding things that make him sad...while standing next to the cage...is just going to drive me insane. The way he walked away from Wang to the desk frames him such that he retreats behind the bars.
- I'm not sure Wang even knows what he wants from In.
- I liked the bridge-buiding montage. It seems like Wang did not get much of an experience he enjoyed at his boarding school, so there was probably something enjoyable masculine about the labor.
- These two are unsubtle about the way they discuss risk taking. In is set in his reserve, and Wang is firmly opposed.
- Oh lord here the Thai boys go again getting their whole pant legs wet around bathing.
- In takes a glance, but always walks away from desire when it creeps up with Wang.
- There were so many people hired for this surprise.
- Oh my goodness I'm going to exit my corporeal form. If my family hired performers to do an almost interpretive dance as they sung happy birthday with a violinist before a guy with a globe-shaped cake exited a giant present box, I would probably just die right there.
- This time, when describing the game, the A-B framing puts Wang on the bottom of the frame with his mom. Interesting that the last time we had this, In was presented as more equal. Wang may know what his mom is up to, but he's not really in control.
- Man, the constant use of metaphor is something I've missed even in queer cinema. This show is a real treat for me.
- Ah, we have a conceit to remove the mom from the story for a few days. Something LGBT is definitely going to happen.
- Confirming that In and Siam we're intimate only brings up more questions, like why were they sorry it happened?
- Man, this show is just so different from the usual fare. I enjoy BL immensely, but I am a sucker for this particular brand of queer melancholia tinged with hope and exploration.

I really am just so happy about the end of Minato’s Laundromat. Japan didn’t let us down on that one. We got a solid set of kisses, some great relief flirting, and a very tasteful double-confirmation about sating desires. I really couldn’t ask for more from this particular scenario.
Moreover, Shin never had to sublimate his feelings! He still gets to be a doctor, but he chose to do it near the person he values most.
Hell, even Asuka and Shuu get to work out their dynamic!
I’m in a good mood today.
My #1 post of 2022
I am a gay man sitting on his porch in a robe with a hot cup of coffee observing the behaviors of the winds and birds. I give a small sniff and say, "The lesbians are on the move."
I adjust my radio and listen to the advertisement for Gap one more time and nod sagely before sitting in my rocking chair. "Guess we'll need more plates," I muse before taking a sip as the cries of joy begin to rise in the distance.
(Congratulations on the Gap trailer release!)
