... And that was supposed to be my last fic for a while, but then the new year came knocking with the question "what crossover ship would make Nick OnlyFriends happy?" and I was like "ooh, what crossover ship WOULD make Nick OnlyFriends happy?" and before I knew it this happened.

I watched the final two episodes of #ShadowtheSeries ... ! No spoilers, but I thought it nailed the dismount. Also, I can't believe there's ONLY ONE FIC ON AO3 (though it is a good fic my fellow fans should read, and I'm not just saying that because my friend wrote it: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52158613 ). #ThaiDrama #Caesliveblogging

CW: Slight spoilers for the premise of Shadow (2023)
Also, this comment from my friend is only vaguely spoilery, but it made me laugh #ShadowtheSeries #ThaiDrama #Caesliveblogging

Have now watched through episode twelve of #ShadowtheSeries, and no spoilers but ahh! ahh! ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!
(If anyone reading this is contemplating checking the series out, I HIGHLY recommend doing so unspoiled, because it has some really good twists.) #ThaiDrama #Caesliveblogging

CW: Spoilers for Shadow (2023) through episode 9
Have now watched through episode nine of #ShadowtheSeries , and nooo the ghosts are malevolent and have acquired box cutters :( I'm used to mundane dramas where all the threats are human and at least in theory capable of being reasoned with or explained away with basic psychology, so this is a new and slightly stressful level of peril for me. Stay strong, Dan!
I don't want to draw any conclusions about the show's themes until I've seen the whole thing, but so far I'm interested in the whole Thing the series seems to be doing with the overlap between trauma/abuse, mental illness and genuine supernatural phenomena (Dan's mom, Trin and now Dan receiving psychiatric treatment for problems that are very real and not just in their heads; Trin and Dan seeing things that might be ghosts or might be psychosis; Dan's shadow manifesting in response to his father abusing his mother, but also being a concrete presence that Nai can perceive; etc etc). #ThaiDrama #Caesliveblogging

Now up to episode six of #ShadowtheSeries (which continues to be amazingly good TV), and my brain is suddenly like, 'Wait a second .... Cool, mysterious transfer student befriends local misfits, all of whom fall a little bit in love with him as they help him investigate the suspicious death of a former student? Why does this feel so familiar to me?' And I realize that I've found my way back to #Persona4 all over again.
(The series also explores a variety of other themes that P4 does not, but Dan and Nai in particular are giving me intense SouYo deja vu rn. Particularly the fic version of SouYo where Yosuke is head over heels for his partner while Souji, oblivious to Yosuke's secret love, is running around being everyone's therapist)

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.
