Ten short sermons on how (not) to write (a BL)
1. If you're going to write a show where music is the main theme, the characters' fingers must at least touch the instruments convincingly. A few piano lessons (or guitar lessons) will go a long way.
2. A show about music must be, well, musical. No amount of autotuning, nor a liberal sprinkling of English words, can conceal a fundamental want of talent.
3. A rock star -- even a grieving washed-up rock star -- is allowed to age without unkempt unshampooed undeloused hair. It is unforgiveable to make Charles Tu look that ugly. Even more unforgivable to use a wig that makes us wonder if it was the sole survivor of a tornado that had ripped through a FujoCon.
4. Bowl cuts are not markers of youth. Anymore than manbuns are markers of midlife crises.
5. Still on the subject of hair, are blonde mullets a thing now? Does anyone find them attractive? Orca, if you want to know why Reese is resisting, just look in the mirror.
6. Reese, my love, are you alright? You know you *can* bang that man, the one who thought it fit to add blonde extensions to his otherwise perfect hair, a stray strand of which, for the billionth time in BL, you felt the need to tenderly push away while he was asleep. (Sea, you did this too! In the same episode!) I know that blindness caused by a lock of hair is endemic to BL, and often fatal. But Reese, if you can tolerate that mullet, you must truly be in love. You do you.
7. If you're going to have more than a few supporting characters in a story, give them more individuality than a side-couple with no dramatic interest, a straight pair who are just supportive friends, and a dead brother whose main purpose is to be dead.
8. People don't need loud background music to tell them how they should feel. People know how to feel -- if the actors and the script are any good. In a show where music is the main theme, it's just self-defeating.
9. Sassy secretaries are awesome. Use them more. (Meg Stalter is one of the best things about Hacks.)
10. Don't worry about age-gaps or height-gaps. They are beloved for a reason. However, be subversive. Make the short twink the top, and the tall washed-up rock star the bottom. Then get a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the pandaemonium that follows. (But please don't save that bowl for another haircut.)
