5 Thai BLs Without Stereotypical Gender Roles

A non-binary friend asked me for shows that don’t fixate on defining a clear “top” and “bottom.” It sometimes feels like we’re watching the same old heterosexual gender roles projected onto queer m…

Je les ai d'abord connus dans #MoonlightChicken (qui est une pépite, j'en avais déjà parlé, j'ai adoré cette série) et je n'étais PAS DU TOUT intéressé.e par leurs deux autres séries de lycéens. Mais là, je suis quand même en train de vivre quelque chose avec #MySchoolPresident

Par contre vous ne m'aurez pas à regarder #MyLoveMixUp j'ai mes limites. Bien que je disais la même chose avec My School President... & Puis un moment de faiblesse et me voilà à binge watch.

Day 10: what I'd recommend to someone looking for found family

#MoonlightChicken A series that is beautifully shot and pulls your heart strings as Jim, a man who had to be strong for many, grapples with allowing himself to lean on Wen, who wants someplace to call home. Learning to be vulnerable and having love and care for this found family Jim's cobbled together. Plus the cutest pickup truck.

#MoonlightChicken ep 4 this is the one where i start crying. not feeling up to it even though i need to. trust it though, because it will lend me enough support, and this is why i never get far from it.
#MoonlightChicken ep 3 Appreciating how much time they give emotions and how the background music supports them, how much is shown rather than said.
Wise phi Wen supporting Li Ming. The boys' growing closer.
The last segment just full of oxytocin with Loy Krathong 💖 And then... 10 seconds of our first glimpse of First's character, sadness pain on his face, to end it. The contrast of that.
#MoonlightChicken ep 2 Three indications of the date - Gaipa brings snacks from his mum from the Kathin ceremony, 11 (month) 65 on a beer tin (so a month and a day after they meet - it's not subtitled and i haven't learned Thai months yet but this is October), and Wen's Halloween decoration emergency.
For an 8 ep series, not much "happens." It's all establishing characters, connections, relative financial statuses and Jim expressing feelings through beer. Every night is a Full Moon :)

If Mix wasn't actually tipsy during the walk, he plays drunk better than anyone.
Fourth is such a talented young actor. All of the characters feel very real but his the most.
The interlocking layers of these men's stories being built up and woven together. They've made something truly special here.

#MoonlightChicken #ThaiSeries

Looking for a cute, queer, found-family series that's full of heart? I definitely recommend the Thai drama #MoonlightChicken. (Yes, it is a queer love story about a guy who runs a chicken restaurant called "Moonlight Chicken". 😁)

@emmaaum is starting a timely re-watch that matches Jim's cans of beer, if you'd like to join.

Happy 1st Episode of #MoonlightChicken Appreciation Day by the solar calendar and Jim's tin of beer!!!! Will you be observing? First segment? First episode? Note that the time until the lunar observance this year is rather perfect for a full series rewatch and decide that's too good to pass up? In a rush? New to this and wondering what we're on about? First 15 minutes will do. https://youtu.be/FPOIO2vQhqA
