Is All Yaoi Written/drawn By The Same Two, Three People?

Is all yaoi written/drawn by the same two, three people?

yeah, its written by the father, the son, and the holy spirit

"Because I love him, I believe him"

You'd think the line comes from Emily Brontë or perhaps Mary Shelley, the way it slams into your very soul when you read it, maybe some tortured female lead is declaring the extent of her love for her dead lover on his grave. but actually it comes from a low budget Thai BL drama, and is said by one of the most dog-coded gay characters of all time.

We are the series ships as parents part 1

Phum/Peem

have the strict (but still kind and loving) dad in Peem x Spoils you rotten dad in Phum

they have a very beautiful daughter who is well adjusted, kind and somewhat hyperactive.

Phum drives this girl wherever she wants to go all the time no matter the circumstances. He is always just a phone call away.

She grew up loving music and wants to be a famous musician, she learnt how to play guitar from her uncle Q.

She uses Peem’s artwork as the cover of her albums.

She loves the beach and visiting her grandparents in Chiangmai, and she always invites way too many friends.

On any given day Phum/Peem can open the front door of their own home to see upwards of 3 teenagers in their house, who definitely do not live there.

She finds herself in a very gay friend group, like her fathers before her.

She cooks about as well as Peem does, without any of the self awareness, because Phum will always eat whatever she makes him.

She’s got trouble sleeping, so sometimes Peem makes hot chocolate late at night for the two of them and they chat away for hours, sitting out on the porch, wrapped up in a blanket, until she finally falls asleep in Peem’s arms. Peem carries her to her bedroom and tucks her in gently. Before heading back to Phum, who’s up waiting for him.

She’s very athletic, and has been enrolled in Muay Thai classes since she was a kid and is definitely down to fight for her friends.

Okay that’s about as many as I can think of atm. I’ll try to continue with other couples as well. For me Qtoey and TanFang have a much stronger childless energy but I can also see them being amazing with kids, so Im open to suggestions about them and anyone else.

Honestly Kongthaps relationship with the basketball team is so hilarious. He’s all like “BOYS I GOT A DATE FOR VALENTINES” and then not even a day later breaking the news being like “BOYS, I NO LONGER HAVE A DATE FOR VALENTINES”

“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

I’m not sure if this is a hot take or not. But I can tell u that after their confession scene, I didn’t really enjoy Qtoey all that much. Every time they were on screen I was just internally screaming bc I was hoping for any Chain & pun scene. Christ there are 4 parts each episode and 4 main couples. There’s an easy division of screen time there. However it kinda feels like 2 parts PhumPeem, 1 part Qtoey and then 1 part either TanFang or the whole gang. I would have loved to see a lot more Tanfang & Chainpun if I’m being honest.

A kiss in the last 10 minutes of the fucking show is not a story.

TanFang have a whole narrative arc and the way that info gets revealed to us about them is so satisfying. Like when I recall past interactions I now do so with a whole new lense, I see depth and meaning in things that I simply brushed off.

PhumPeem are such a delight because of how emotionally well connected they are and I thought I would not like this ship all that much but it’s so precious and the story is so conceptually simple and yet so well written. Obviously there was a lot of beating around the bush but honestly? I was hooked.

Qtoey also had a great story of meeting in high school, and falling in love with each other through little notes before ever seeing each others faces, and the destined meeting once again as a senior and junior in College. However if I were to speak honestly, after getting Q and Toey together all of their scenes lagged. Also as a side note, they absolutely didn’t need that scene of Q and Toey doing the nasty. Especially since the og character for Toey is Ace. Hell! they could have done a really cool storyline of Toey and Q navigating this part of their relationship while being respectful of each others needs and boundaries.

ChainPun, got an off screen visit to the vet, a scene of them getting snacks, a scene of them releasing the bird and then suddenly a kiss. And before anyone says that Chainpun was a slow burn of childhood friends to lovers… babe no they’re not. A slow burn is slow I get that, but at least there’s SOMETHING to burn? I’ve been living off of crumbs here.

Finally, I don’t wanna come off as a hater, despite this post I do love this series. There’s a deep connection between all of the characters and it’s such a healthy depiction of so many different types of relationships between family, friends and lovers. The love of people who once hurt each other, those who have reconciled, those in the process of it, even the love of those who are so afraid of hurting each other they would rather hurt themselves.
