For all the un-good IRL political developments that 2025 is sure to bring, it is also evidently going to bring some amazing fannish ones, because not only are we getting #Severance season two and #Playboyy season two we're also apparently getting #OnlyFriends season two: messy theater kid edition??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukpp8r-oN2I
(Needless to say, I am here for this. I have exactly two good friends who love OF in the way I love OF and we are buckled into discord ready to party.)
((Also needless to say, my fictional tastes are all over the place, and liking any one of these three tagged shows is no guarantee that you will like either of the other tagged two! Just in case anyone is looking for more prestige dystopian sci-fi dramedies / low-budget surrealist erotic thrillers / soapy relationship dramas about the world's worst university friend group.))

CW: Playboyy episode 12 spoilers
!!! So many things are happening! Zouey, you are so suspicious! You also have the fashion sense of an elderly grandmother and I find that endearing! Meanwhile, Captain is just the worst, but that moment towards the end of the episode where things got Too Real for him really worked for me. In fact, that whole final sequence from when the Playboyy goons showed up was kind of masterful. Poor Jump, Soong and Teena. Poor Puen! And then we cut to Phop innocently noodling away on Nuth's computer .... I am on the edge of my seat and I don't know how I'm going to bear to wait for next week's episode. #Caesliveblogging #ThaiBL #ThaiDrama #Playboyy

CW: Playboyy episode 9 spoilers
There were so many moments I loved this episode! Phop and Nuth now being bird parents. The flirting and super hot sex between Aob and Puen that led to delicious angst. Prom having unsettling twincest dreams. Zouey and First having the sweetest, most supportive friendship. That scene where we cut between Aob discovering the shirt and Captain discovering the mask. Prom being the one on the CCTV footage! I even liked the return of the stilted English during First and Soong's confrontation in the room of entirely too many chairs.
I was also very excited to recognize Zouey's ministry of education text after First's therapy session to be a reference to this: https://aminoapps.com/c/bldrama/page/blog/did-you-know-bl-and-football/dzoW_zYibu1dGdw8rw4NjPP1Rxkkd5wBzm
In summary, a good time. Honestly I don't think there's anything this show could do that I wouldn't enjoy? The characters could all get turned into zombies in the last episode and I'd be like sure, why not. They could stay with their established love interests or all cheat on one another or have it turn out that everyone is in on the murder conspiracy or that no one is, and I'd be equally content. It's just one of those shows I can't even evaluate in terms of good and bad because it exists on a whole other axis. #Playboyy #ThaiBL #ThaiDrama #Caesliveblogging

CW: Playboyy episode 7 spoilers
#Playboyy is back and my heart is full! I missed these boys who can't cook.
- The sweetness of Nuth/Phop and Teena/Zouey's scenes was a nice contrast with how fraught the other characters' relationships currently are (especially Jump/Porche; I can't say Porche hasn't earned a taste of his own medicine, but watching him sob dejectedly in his underwear after Jump just left him there still made me feel bad for him).
- I unironically love what a dork Zouey was in his scenes, between his goofy-looking bucket hat, the fact that he says "itadakimasu" out loud before eating, and him calling Teena "sempai." Precious weeb. <3
- Phop's "treat boys and girl the same way" shirt this episode and Nuth's "defend trans lives" shirt in a previous episode makes me feel they are soulmates who deserve a long happy future of going to protest marches together (tangentially related: this ficlet in which they are plant parents fills me with joy https://archiveofourown.org/works/52924600 )
- Prom, what part of you thought it would be a remotely good idea to give Nont a gun? (Is it your dick? It's probably your dick.)

Winter is sapping all the energy out of me and consequently words are hard right now, but I'm all caught up on #Playboyy and its surrealistic lo-fi arthouse sex-comedy-cum-murder-mystery plot continues to nourish my soul. (I also like this post about its relationship to camp: https://www.tumblr.com/chaos0pikachu/736201993463480320/hi-chaos-so-people-on-other-socials-are-saying ) (and this post about its depiction of sex work: https://www.tumblr.com/lugarn/737602073731956736/sex-worker-camp-groundbreaking-in-playboyy ) #Caesliveblogging #ThaiBL

CW: re: Playboyy episode 4 spoilers
This tumblr post said everything I could say about this episode more elegantly: https://www.tumblr.com/pharawee/736061094152585216
(I am genuinely enjoying the show, if that's not clear. But I have so many questions.)

Checking in on the current #ThaiBL season:
EXPECTED TO LOVE, AM LOVING: #ShadowtheSeries (have seen 3 episodes out of a currently available 7). Gorgeous to look at, spooky and atmospheric, compelling central mystery, interesting characters, creepy priest, a good dread-inducing time all around.
EXPECTED TO LOVE, AM NOT LOVING: Last Twilight (have seen 1.5 episodes out of a currently available 3, will probably drop). It's halfway to being a show I like (specifically the Mhok half), but the show's treatment of disability so far has been frankly pretty mawkish, and if I wanted to watch an inspirational tearjerker about a sighted guy teaching a guy who's going blind to ~love life again~ there are a dozen cliched Lifetime movies I could watch instead. Kind of a bummer, because I really liked how they handled Heart's deafness in MLC and that's the same director.
EXPECTED TO BE DUMB, IS DUMB: Pit Babe, my beautiful airheaded omegaverse baby (have seen 1 episode out of a currently available 2). It has scenting! It apparently has a plot! I don't know what that plot is, because I kept spacing out whenever the leads weren't getting it on in the locker room, but fortunately for me them getting it on in the locker room was like a good half of the episode. I don't understand why the love interest is doing anything he's doing but in a weird way that makes him more intriguing.
EXPECTED TO BE DUMB, AM LOVING: #Playboyy (have seen 1 episode out of a currently available 2). I actually really enjoyed this?? It's like a horny fever dream, with a nice undercurrent of menace and a kind of unusual-for-BL focus on the seedier side of sex and romance. I was completely lost at times, but admittedly that's partly due to me struggling to keep everyone's names and faces straight, and either way it contributes to the fever dream feel. Takes some biiig stylistic swings, not all of which work (in particular, I get what they were trying to achieve with the hentai voiceover in the final sex scene, but the execution ....). Aside from that scene, I found the erotic scenes super sensual, but if you're expecting tender slo-mo lovemaking this is not that.
