Branded Pairing Heteronormativity and the Subtle ways that First and Khaotung Spill Outside Those Outlines

Right off the bat I'm going to absolve myself of all culpability by saying that this is a solicited opinion so all anon hate can go to @kattyangel 🤣. The second thing is that this is an opinion that will talk about very nuanced subjective topics like heteronormative standards and conventional attractiveness in a country I'm not even from so go into it knowing that even subtle shifts in worldview can change the way we perceive these things. My only claim to fame here is that fan service is my hyperfixation and I have watched at least couples compilation videos of all GMM branded pairs but for the vast majority of them have watched shows/vlogs/interviews fairly extensively. So without any further ado let's get into what the connection is between First's height and his pairing's inability to perform heteronormativity well. A branded pair has two main ways of connecting to heteronormativity. One is via the individual's connection to their audience which at this point we know is majority female with some degree of romantic interest in men. Second, is via the dynamics of the couple itself.

For example, the ideal pairing is someone who's individual unit BOTH seem like they are interested in women but when put together can also believably fall into a 'top' and 'bottom' role. The categories of 'top' and 'bottom' here follow from the yaoi 'seme' and 'uke' narrative traditions but its less about who penetrates or is being penetrated and more along the lines of who's 'the wife and who's the husband' which is just a confusing mix of relative closeness to femininity, perceived dominance and certain physical features like height/resting bitch face and skin color.

The vast majority of branded pairs fall under this paradigm at GMM: GeminiFourth, TayNew, BrightWin, JoongDunk, PondPhuwin, ForceBook and the recently officially divorced Ohmnanon.

If the individuals have a strong connection to heteronormativity themselves, but fail to perform it with each other then they tend to fail like PerthChimon. So what happens when individuals within the unit aren't that straight to begin with? If at least one can perform traditional masculinity then they're in the clear! Famously, OffGun are husband and wife like no other and I hope they and Off's voodoo dolls of him and Gun prosper for the length of their lives. This format of pairings is not that common in GMM but litter the industry quite a bit, Zeenunew and MaxNat are pairings I'm quite familiar with that follow this.

What happens when both have low affinity towards traditional masculinity (especially in the way they interact with fans) or they're a little too queer in their dynamic for heteronormativity? Well that leaves you with *my* favorite pairings: EarthMix and FirstKhaotung But they're challenged in slightly different ways. EarthMix's primary dilemma comes from the fact that they're very likely actually dating and gay couples sometimes just won't have a heteronormative dynamic. Mix has always rebelled against being 'bottom' and he's usually the one refusing to play this game. Earth on the other hand just with his natural old man tendencies still fits into the top/husband role well while Mix can be pigeonholed into bratty wife/bottom when push comes to shove. But oh my poor sweet First, born with the personality of a man who's at least 5 inches shorter than him and obsessed with his idiot best friend who hated being the good little wife during his PoddKhao era so much that he really came into Firstkhao with his arms swinging like 'never again'. First and Khaotung have their personalities and aesthetics switched. Khaotung is both the more effeminate of the two and also the more dominant. If you've been following their dynamic since The Eclipse then you will know immediately what I'm talking about. So much of The Eclipse fan service felt like they were playing out top and bottom in reverse and then just remembering that First is indeed Too Tall for this to ever work lmao. I'm struggling to think of a single pair other than PerthSaint where the top was shorter let alone a full 4 inches. I mean fans nearly staged a coup at an event to have them renamed Khaofirst and I feel like they had come so close to convincing First too 😂 They've changed a lot now and Khaotung has cooled it, maybe to be more helpful to First but primarily because I think he's discovered that being the bottom in this dynamic comes with added benefits of being a sugar baby princess who gets waited on hand and foot. But First is also a sugar baby princess which is why he says things like 'I'm trying to be cool' or doing something macho and then immediately undercutting himself with a nervous little 'Was that cool?' or whining at fans to stop flirting with Khaotung instead of having a possessive lover dialogue like Phuwin's little 'you can flirt with him but he needs my permission to flirt with you'. First is performing machismo slightly worse than the 'bottom' of a different pair like what can I say askdjkfhdjh

Firstkhao are doing husband and wife well on stage nowadays but I think in less practiced formats they will revert to their original dynamic and First's 'top' persona breaks often. They hit a besotted wifeman equilibrium for First sometime during only friends and that kind of works for them both and I think they're trying to stay there for the most part. But that's what people who like First and Khaotung like. A vast majority of lesbians fall under the category of besotted wifeman so I mean it's really working out for me. It's just that sometimes it's a little painful seeing First try so hard to be more like Kant in RL and I'm just like babygirl please you're fine your friend over there looks like he likes getting fucked in the ass no matter what you do but alas 😔 Meanwhile every time Khaotung acts like a naive little helpless baby it feels like he's taken another step towards nirvana.

✎ Favorite moments of Ep 5 ~ The Loyal Pin (Thai GL-2024) - Part 2

This is the face of a woman who went to war(got her heart broken) and when she came back her woman(who broke her heart) was waiting for her with dinner served(her feelings figured out) and kids already asleep(a “I’m yours, you’re mine” type of confession)

Anil is back and Pin rushes quickly towards her. God, it’s just so cute the way they look at each other in this scene. They were separated only for a few weeks but they missed each other so much, they won’t survive Anil going back to England 😔

Pin was worried, concerned, mortified for the right things. Anil just confessed to her the day before she left and she was sharing bed and comforting other woman??? Unacceptable!

Even if is her cousin who’s mourning her dad 😤

Help, they’re so jealous and possessive of each other it’s funny.

Anil loved a bit too much the straightforwardness in which Pin delivered that “Yes. I’m possessive of you”

Ngl I would’ve fold right there too… tell me more about this feelings, sweetheart. I’m all ears and hands. Hands are very important.

Anil that was sneaky and all but please let’s don’t bring the family tree in this matter…

I know, I know is figurative and they’re not related but aunt/nephew is a hard NO 🙅‍♀️

Please let’s move on.

Oh, she confessed those feelings in the most beautiful, precious, sweetest way. Anil almost melt on the spot (I sure did)

And then she kissed her cheek so gently and soft?? Am I supposed to be normal about that??

Also, those beautiful eyes of Freen, LORD HELP ME. She’s the definition of “big-brown-eyes” writers talk about so much. So so pretty 🥺

Calling herself hers with her head on her chest and her arms around her waist??? INSANITY

“Who do you say Pilanthita belongs to?” Was crazy. And the instant reassurance from Pin? That was crazier!

Kiss, hand on the neck, forehead kiss, upper lip kiss, hand on the neck and chin while holding herself to her wrist, another kiss, nose kiss.

At this point of the episode I was losing my freaking mind 😫

“Can you truly be mine tonight?” YEEEEESSS. She wasn’t asking me but I was screaming like crazy.

Those eyes of Pin, half-lidded and heavy with desire, hell yeah, I’m pulling out all those fic phrases.

Anil was STARVING. She was looking at Pin with the pent-up hunger of seven years of yearning and being apart. She had enough waiting. And so was Pin.

FreenBecky the actresses you are. Bravo. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Also, very important THE HANDS.
