Queering the Tide 2024

[dauntlessshadowice]

 There are many ways of queering texts and characters. This challenge is for any and all of them! The widest possible definition of queering is used here. If you think your prompt counts, then do so we.


To participate, leave a comment on this post linking to your letter, so anyone interested in queering your canon for yuletide can find you. Tag any fics for this mini-challenge with Queering The Tide. (I suggest you tag both Queering the Tide and TransTide if the two happen to overlap.)

Fandom: ความลับในคืนฤดูร้อน | Summer Night (Thailand TV 2024)
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: This fandom has canonically queer characters, but I didn't feel like they had a different POV from the straight characters, and overall it ended up having very heteronormative values. I would like to see the bisexuals speak up about the idea that if you're in a relationship, you can't have friends of the gender you could potentially be attracted to, for obvious reasons... I would also very much like to see White, who is not acknowledged as queer but doesn't behave much like a straight guy imo, have a bi awakening.

Fandom: หัวใจไม่มีปลอม | Beauty Newbie (Thailand TV 2024)
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: Guy and Saint are love rivals, but the way they bicker feels a lot like flirting, while Liu, the one they're fighting over, seems quite obsessed with beautiful women, and if I didn't know better, I would have thought it was a GL from the first episode. It would be interesting to take that out of subtext and into text.

Fandom: จิ้นนายกลายเป็นฉัน | The Shipper (TV 2020)
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc: I dropped a trans prompt for this in transtide, but there's also the inherent homo-eroticism of writing gay fanfic together, and character who seems willing to go for a same-gender relationship but never has an identity exploration plotline about it.

Fandom: นักเรียนต้องขัง | Home School (Thailand TV 2023)
Any specific fandom details, preferences, comments, etc:
Jean is my blorbo and I'm convinced that they made him gay on purpose and then scrapped the related storyline, but the thing is, I don't need a storyline! I don't need a ship either. If I just get to see him being thirsty about guys in the background of a genfic, I would be thrilled.

(my other two are already queer enough, though I added one of them to transtide)
