BROO FOR ABO DESIRE EP 14  THE BLUE BOX OMGG IM CONCERNED 

🤭🤭

ABO Desire  episode 14

I read a post on social media where someone made the argument that this is essentially a series with a straight and gay couple and this episode confirms it.

Think about it, in the Omegaverse it is the societal norm for omegas to be viewed as feminine in nature and alphas and betas to be viewed as masculine. Here we have Hua Yong and Mr Sheng being both of masculine designations, so in their world they are viewed  as "gay". The social media posts I referenced up top said the reason Shen Wen Lang  denies his feelings towards Gao Tu is because he thinks Gao Tu is a beta and thus he is in denial of liking another "man". 

What do you guys think 👀

In regards to this episode, I am just waiting on the series to wrap up honestly. 

 p43425:

this brings us to 17 BLs with specific release dates in October (with each story in "4 Destiny" counted separately).

(The above excerpt is from two days ago, p. 2274)
Here's yet another scheduled October release, thus bringing the list now to 18 BLs with specific dates:
"Bokutachinchi" ("Our Home" / "Chosen Home") starting October 12 - looks promising, but no international platform yet.

What dramas are u most excited about and want to watch as soon as it airs? 

In principle I'm in for the group watch of "Goblin", but I'll be flying to the U.S. again next week, so "travel schedule permitting".

Of your top four, the other I'm especially keen on is "Me and Who" because I liked Big & Park so much in "Monster Next Door". (They have nice chemistry and physical contrast, and Park Anantadej is a cutie-patootie.) 

Although I wasn't as enthusiastic as some others about S1 of "25 Ji, Akasaka de", I liked it enough that I'll definitely watch S2.

"Punks Triangle" could be interesting, but I don't yet know much about it.

Of your "Wait till later" titles, the one I'm most excited about is "Love Never Sets" because Tae Weerapat is a cutie-patootie, plus it'll be interesting to see Ja Phachara with a new partner.

There are a few other JBLs scheduled for October that especially interest me, but before getting myself too excited, I'll wait to see if they get an international release.

@Art Girl

as Usual, I want to watch ALL THE THINGS. i would say 17 or 18 is too many shows, but my CWL has 21 shows so i guess its not. In fact not all my shows are currently airing so some I put off watching and others I watch in between waiting for new episodes, so those aren’t time sensitive and fit with my schedule.I just realized, though, my CWL is even longer because i don’t include the shows I am rewatching. Usually I take my time with those, unless I can’t remember them anymore and then they’re like new shows.

my plan is generally to start everything that’s streaming on major platforms and then prioritize once I see what I’m liking best. I’d say shows with couples I like already come first, but sometimes those still aren’t great so I like to wait and see. As for the jbls without international release plans, I’ll watch if someone posts a link to decent fan subs, but those often don’t come out every week.

another factor in what i prioritize to watch is what’s popular. ABO Desire is not my favorite show airing right now but i watched it first today because it‘s most likely to show up in clips on social media fan pages. I usually scan many BL fan groups everyday on social media, so I don’t want to be spoiled. But lately I’ve been avoiding social media on the weekends because of too many spoilers and not enough time to watch new shows and go online.

a very long explanation of a lot of nonsense that amounts to “we’ll see.”

i‘m also not mentioning specific shows because i had an unusually busy day and i‘m already behind today. So thinking about so many new shows is a bit overwhelming. If we’re lucky, some will release on weekdays so we can space out what we’re watching.
