It seems to me some people need more fulfilling lives, otherwise, they're left obsessing over the most irrelevant B.S. as a means of compensating for their own emptiness.
On that note: I've wasted enough time on this nonsense. Ciao.
Insulted you? The truth hurts when it's true. Nothing you've written to me has caused me any discomfort. You're bothered? Then look within and ask why.
"I just asked a question on what's really going on with the actor and the news about his infidelity."
QUESTIONS: Why do you care? How does focusing on this enrich your life? __ "And who said it's gossip? Can you confirm it's gossip."
ANSWER & A QUESTION : I don't care either way. Again, why do you? __ "There seem to be other posters on here who are unequivocally stating it's not gossip and it's true."
ANSWER IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION: Why is this relevant to you? __ "So who died and made you the truth teller to determine what's gossip and what's true?"
ANSWER: How do I know it's gossip? It has nothing, and I mean NOTHING, to do with you nor me. The definition of gossip: casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.
"I do think it's people like you that make internet and social media a toxic place when you engage in just horrible personal attacks on others by saying things like they're empty, etc."
Are you attempting to gaslight me to deflect from the issue? How adorable. You're focusing on another's personal life, which I can't imagine has ANY effect on your life whatsoever. Based on the evidence, it is clear that your life is not fulfilling enough to hold your attention away from rolling around in the muck of irrelevant internet drama. If it were, wouldn't you be doing something more positive with your time?
"People like you are the problem and not the solution to the mental health issues that are on the rise in social media users when you engage in unprovoked personal attacks."
Ah, the irony. You're the one jumping on a gossip bandwagon meant to harm an actor who's been doing his job, but it's people like me who are the problem? So... are you normally this emotionally manipulative or is this a special occasion?
Those were all rhetorical questions, by the way. This entire dialogue has taken up enough on my time already and, truth be told, I'm not interested in your answers. The questions were broached so you could answer them for yourself and maybe, just maybe, while devising the answers, you did some self-reflection.
I am so enjoying this series! Thank you to the actors, the director, the cinematographer, the crew, the voice actors-- everyone, THANK YOU for creating what's been a fun ride so far. Already, you've etched yourselves into BL history, so whatever comes after, please know you've all given us a wonderful gift. I'm looking forward to the next 10 episodes with great anticipation!
Exactly! It seems to me some people need more fulfilling lives, otherwise, they're left obsessing over the most irrelevant B.S. as a means of compensating for their own emptiness.
In ep13, Xiao Shuai gets a text message related to his ex. Can someone explain what it said? What was the picture?
The text came from his ex-boyfriend. It wasn't a picture but a video.
In the video, the ex admitted to taking advantage of Xiao Shuai-- having a sexual relationship with him while he was an underage student and the ex was a teacher, manipulating Xiao Shuai by paying men to get him drunk and taking pictures of him so he could falsely accuse Xiao Shuai that he'd slept with those men so the teacher could break up with Xiao Shuai. In the video teh teacher admitted to being a scumbag who took advantage of Xiao Shuai.
HIStory - 2017 (Can be watched in any order, as they're not linked)• Story 1: My Hero• Story 2: Stay Away…
Yes, oddly enough.
Season 1 is comprised of 3 different stories (sub-seasons). None of the stories are connected, other than the fact they were released in the same season. Each unique story consists of 4 episodes, each running between 17 - 21 minutes.
This is subjective, so take it with a grain of salt: • For season 1, the standout story is OBSESSED
__ Season 2 is comprised of 2 different stories (sub-seasons). Again, the story are not connected. Each story consists of 8 episodes, each running approximately 25 minutes.
Again subjective, so take it with a grain of salt: • For season 1, the standout story is CROSSING THE LINE
__ By the time they released season 3, they had dropped the "story" label, as each of these were legitimately stand alone series. Each series had 20 episodes with each episode running for approximately 25 minutes.
For this season, both series are exceptional, in their own way: • TRAPPED takes the edge for many-- though filled with emotional complexity, the overall story is charming • MAKE OUR DAYS COUNT is a wonderful series, but for many, the ending hit like a sledgehammer
__ For season 4, they only released one series-- 20 episodes each running approximately 25 minutes • CLOSE TO YOU is a wonderful series, but there's a character whose actions left many fans deeply conflicted
__ Season 5 is just one 20 episode seasons. • I have yet to watch this season
Can someone help me with the order of HIStory? It's confusing
HIStory - 2017 (Can be watched in any order, as they're not linked) • Story 1: My Hero • Story 2: Stay Away from Me • Story 3: Obsessed
HIStory2 - 2018 (Can be watched in any order, as they're not linked) • Story 1: Right or Wrong • Story 2: Crossing the Line
HIStory3 - 2019 (Can be watched in any order, as they're not linked) • Trapped • Make Our Days Count
HIStory4 - 2021 • Close to You [There is a couple from HIStory3's MAKE OUR DAYS COUNT that appears is a few episodes toward the middle/end of this series.]
Holy grail of BL series. Must comment again and again on the acting and chemistry of both the leads Oh my god,…
In contrast to the Thai, currently, the Japanese, Chinese, South Korean and Taiwanese, have been focusing primarily on acting and directing. Even when the writing isn't exemplary, it's never embarrassing.
Holy grail of BL series. Must comment again and again on the acting and chemistry of both the leads Oh my god,…
There are some Thai actors who are very talented actors, but... no one crucify me here... I've noticed that there's far more of a focus on handsomeness/beauty than acting prowess, directing and good screenwriting in the Thai BL industry. With the volume of shows that the Thai BL industry pushes out like a conveyor belt on steroids, I've been suspecting that many of the scripts, in the past few years, have been partially or mostly compiled by AI, because some of them have just been god-awfully bad-- even those that have been adapted from novels.
Due to the focus on the appearances of actors over quality of overall product, a lot of Thai actors who are fully capable of delivering good performances have been getting dragged into middling BL series with poor direction and scripts. There's not much that those actors can do to right the ship when the ship was sinking from the beginning.
For instance, Pond is brilliant in 180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us, but is a dud in Fourever You. He's melodramatic in the currently airing Reset, but that's the nature of that series. For that type of series, he's doing a good job.
THESE THAI ACTORS WHO'VE PERFORMED IN BLs ARE NOT JUST HANDSOME FACES (sometimes, the writing and directing fail them, though):
Watch the cigarette and snake terrarium industry go up! Oh, and that aphrodisiac scent :)))
"Sorry, it's hard for me to navigate through your emotional storm."
An emotional storm? What, exactly, was stormy about what I wrote? I laid everything out rather evenly. By chance, did you mean an intellectual deluge?
"I've had no intention comparing typical behavioral patterns observed in humans and snakes ."
Did you not? You opened with a direct comparison between snakes and humans. The only sociopaths in existence are humans, yes? You then stated that snakes do not bond to people. Maybe you didn't realize that your opinion, though unquestionably believed and spouted by many, would be considered intellectually lazy by some and therefore lead to a discourse around the nature of snakes and human beings?
"I find it counterproductive."
My intention was to steer you to the realization that your opinion on snakes has nothing to do with them not being able to bond with humans and everything to do with you, personally, not liking them, Whether this is due to genetics, learned behavior patterns, cultural beliefs or superstitions is irrelevant. You're afraid of snakes and you've settled on passing off that fear as reasonable because of behaviors that are credited to them while those same behaviors are ignored in yourself and other members of your species.
I'm willing to admit this intellectual exercise on my part was a bust. 😏 I mean, come on, you're perceiving me as emotionally stormy. Honestly? That genuinely made me giggle.
Watch the cigarette and snake terrarium industry go up! Oh, and that aphrodisiac scent :)))
"Human beings might be akin to snakes, not the other way."
Humans cage (imprison) animals, slaughter them by the billions (approximately 80 billion) yearly; the true number is estimated to be in the trillions, when we add aquatic life forms to the lives we take. We slaughter for food, land, fun, and out of fear with little compunction. Snakes, conversely, either outright avoid us or attack us, periodically, when they're cornered or hungry.
Humans should be grateful to be compared to snakes.
Watch the cigarette and snake terrarium industry go up! Oh, and that aphrodisiac scent :)))
"They have three main instincts: feed, respon[d] to perceived threats and reproduce. "
Dependency, of any nature, is essentially attachment/connection. We humans claim ours are built on emotions, but at the core, they're built on necessities. We get attached to those who feed us, offer us safety (emotionally and physically), and who we can breed with.
"Some modern morphs are said to be domesticated, but let me repeat again, don't delude yourself - they never bond."
The difference between you and I, in regards to this subject, is that I am not deluded about human nature. We are animals, no more nor less than the other animals we share our world with. We are driven by the very same instincts, but due to our overinflated egos, we place all others beneath us-- granting some grace (those commonly accepted as pets or harmless prey) and demonizing others (those we perceive as threats to our safety and supremacy).
"They can perfectly well live without you: don't miss you, don't starve because of your being away, don't look forward to seeing you."
I have this relationship with the vast majority of human beings. If more humans were honest, they'd admit this to be true for them as well.
Watch the cigarette and snake terrarium industry go up! Oh, and that aphrodisiac scent :)))
If you're saying snakes are akin to some human beings, then you'd be right. Many are gorgeous to look at, but deadly (in many contexts) if we come in close contact with them.
As for snakes not bonding with people, that's not entirely true. Just like the majority of humans, some snakes can become attached to their caretakers, associating that individual to feedings and gentle handling. This is, essentially, how most humans behave with each other.
Yes, depending on the species, snakes can be incredibly dangerous. They haven't cornered the market on that. Other than mosquitoes, humans are the most dangerous species in our world, yet we humans can't seem to stop ourselves from entering into relations with each other.
