In Your Lavender: The Wedding Plan Episode

AND WE'RE BACK!

We originally planned to discuss Wedding Plan alongside a few other shows but abandoned that quickly when we realized we both had a lot to say about this show. Come join us as we discuss whether MAME has shown growth, what it means that the lavender marriage term has existed for over 130 years, the importance of lesbians in this story, and the fundamental nature of the closet.

If you've been missing how heated Ben gets, now's your chance!

Timestamps

The timestamps will now correspond with chapters on Spotify for easier navigation.

01:16 - Intro 03:00 - Wedding Plan and MAME's Previous Crimes 15:18 - Realities of the Closet and Fandom Misunderstanding of the Show 29:23 - Things We Love About Wedding Plan and Final Ratings 37:26 - And Another Thing! The Wedding Plan Special

The Conversation Transcripts!

Thanks to the continued efforts of @ginnymoonbeam as transcriber, and @lurkingshan as an editor and proofreader, we are able to bring you transcripts of the episodes.

We will endeavor to make the transcripts available when the episodes launch, and it is our goal to make them available for past episodes. When transcripts are available, we will attach them to the episode post (like this one) and put the transcript behind a Read More cut to cut down on scrolling.

Please send our volunteers your thanks!

I WILL NEVER BE OVER WEDDING PLAN.

They really hated them.

They really hated this man.

They never understood how strong he was.

A gay man's determination to help his favorite lesbians was the impetus for the entire show and we primarily lamented some awkward kissing with the most plot-relevant lesbians we've ever had in BL.

Every single person who knew Namneua was ready to kick Lom's ass and we still talked about him like he was weak. This show has such a great supporting cast. I'm still thinking about the way Nuea said "I love you" to Im.

Please go watch this show!!!

Togawa! I am seducing you. I have been trying to seduce you the entire time. With everything I have. Although you never had a clue.

You know that thing where you can “see the gears turning in someone’s head”? Or, like, you can see the gears refusing to turn?

There should be an award for the actor who gets across the maximum amount of both gears turning and gears resolutely frozen, all while returning a kiss with a remarkable amount of enthusiasm for someone who (purportedly?) hasn’t quite figured out what is happening to them. And that award should go to Takeda Kouhei.

[Dorothy] I mean, if he's selling encyclopedias, why didn't he try to sell us a set?[Rose] You know what else is so strange about it? He didn't bring them in. || S05E18

I love couples who play and have fun together (see my love for Coffee Prince, Bad Buddy, TsukuTabe, etc). couples who are silly and goofy together, who aren't afraid of being absolutely ridiculous around each other. there's something so open and freeing about it. it's like having your face covered in your own birthday cake and then warmly embraced while laughing with the person who put it there. it's about trusting the other person with seeing who you are and knowing they choose to stick around.

and Haruta and Maki are apparently joining the list of playful couples I love.

some of my favorite moments 😆:

  • when Haruta is getting onto Maki's case for cleaning and cooking while he was sick, and in return Maki mocks him by doing a ridiculous impression of Haruta (rude lmao). and then Haruta responds by copying that ridiculous impression lol.
  • when they fight over Haruta's over-packed suitcase
  • when Haruta unpacks Maki's suitcase, insisting Maki take him with him on his business trip, and Maki pretends to try and pack Haruta - a fully grown adult - into a suitcase that can in no way accommodate
  • honestly, the entire spinoff episode of Maki's first night back from Singapore. but I'm particularly thinking of when they start wrestling and Haruta says "Mind the table. At least throw me this way." lmao
