I was going to make a joke here about how I’m so clever, this is the pilot and proof of concept like Thai bls do, and then I started thinking about how interesting it is that Thai production companies air their pilots to the general public. In American television, that’s generally kept to the shareholders/production company/etc. with maybe a few test audience viewings. It’s an interesting model for generating buzz and gauging interest, especially since unlike with American pilots, these are shows they’ve already decided to make.
In any case, this is in fact my pilot letter. There’s a lot going on in the bl/ql/gl sphere these days, which some people complain about but I think is absolutely magical as someone who grew up clinging to any scrap of queer media I could get my hands on. And most of it was extremely low budget and often fucked up and sad, and I ate it up like candy. Yesterday, I was talking with some friends and going “kids these days” because wow, you can watch entire gay romcoms on YouTube now, and there’s enough that you can actually choose what genre you want to watch. That’s incredible! I don’t get not being grateful for and amazed by that.
