I love how Aof looks at Mark Pakin and goes 'yes, this is an unexpected but still fantastic dad'

Whereas Jojo looks at Mark Pakin and sees devoted and horny...

2023 was the year of Mark Pakin and nobody can raise an objection to it.

Day : You are not my type sorry we can’t be together.

Mhok : Ok I’ll quit.

Day: ARE YOU INSANE ? YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE MY SIDE !

stray ifylita thoughts on a boring monday

I know the general Tumblr audience hasn't been able to watch IFYLITA due to a multitude of reasons but I need everyone to know IFYLITA has revised the conventional Thai soap opera/lakorn narrative and also changed perception of Thai microhistory in media.

My fabulous friend Salt translated this short clip from a talk about BL series where IFYLITA Director P'Tee Bundit and Screenwriter P'Bass (Somchai Tidsanawoot) were guest speakers.

P’Bass: Honestly, the difficulty with Thai history, when I spoke with a researcher, is that we have very little records of “lesser people”* in the kingdom. So it was similarly difficult for us we’re not people from the past era and how are we to travel back in time to that era? We needed to use some imagination — which is something I need to admit — with the information which we have.

As P’Tee has said initially, (we want) IFYLITA to recount history from that era and historical records consist of records of people who should be praised. However, we are more interested in the records of the “lesser people” but these people are not really mentioned. I felt this during our research that we didn’t really have that part. This is also about sexuality — what were the different sexualities like then?

This guided the characters such as Niiaw - the transgender that we met. But we needed to “cheat” the history a bit because they weren’t in Chiangmai at that time. About the lesbian couple**, it was news that made us go “wow” too. They were a lesbian couple that announced their marriage but shortly after, one of them was shot.

T/N: * ‘lesser people’ in this context refers to those people who are basically not royalty or super wealthy individuals. ** P’Bass used the ladies’ actual names but I can’t remember them nor can I hear clearly so I simply referred to them as such

The whole writing team of IFYLITA has put so much effort into this production, especially for their microhistory research to be able to craft such detailed interwoven narratives to tell the stories of queer lives in the past.

sighs I just need IFYLITA to sweep all the awards and get the recognition it deserves... I wish I could personally say thank you to all the screenwriters because they're true MVPs

Some people buy flowers for their loved ones. Then there's Mhok who planted a whole ass jasmine trees coz his crush likes the smell of it. Never settle for less everyone.
