The 40 fundamental rules of (mainly Thai) BL... 

1. Take your boyfie to the beach! If none is available, a waterfall works fine too, just as long as you get to play and/or make out in the water.

2. Pools are for water fights and underwater kisses!

3. Your bae is sick? Time for a sponge bath! Using a towel works fine too, as long as you make it awkwardly sensual!

4. Must dry bae's hair, or they will get sick!!

5. Fevers, papercuts, or hurt legs are fatal injuries!! Your boyfie might die, so treat him accordingly!!!

6. You need two hands to eat. If one is injured, your bae has to feed you, or you will starve! Of course, your bae can also feed you if you aren’t injured!

7. Napkins don’t exist in the BLverse. Must use your hand to wipe food off the boyfie’s face!! (Bonus points if you lick your fingers afterward.)

8. BL boys are too pretty to cry actual tears. Scrunching your face and squeezing really hard will suffice!

9. Can't think of any conflict? Time for the mandatory jealousy-storyline!!

10. Oh no, bae's (usually evil) ex is suddenly back in town! 

11. Would you look at that? We accidentally cuddled each other while sharing a bed. Whoopsie!

12. Oh no, poor boyfie has nightmares. But at least he's fine as long as I'm with him because that's totally how that works! I'm basically a human dream catcher!

13. Neck pillows are useless. Sleep on your bae’s shoulder instead. (Preferably during bus rides to a school trip!)

14. Time for cringe product placement! The less subtle, the better!

15. The only majors existing are engineering, medicine, architecture, and communication arts.

16. Boyfie (or guy who isn’t my boyfie yet) looks so pretty while sleeping. Must kiss, or at least attempt to!

17. Would you look at that pretty rooftop? Perfect for an emotional moment, mayhaps even a kiss?!

18. Girls are either evil or swooning over the gays! There's no in-between!

19. They knew each other since childhood all along!!! (Bonus points if one had to tragically move away.)

20. Why solve your conflict if a time-skip can do it for you? It's like magic!

21.  Every rich kid has daddy / mommy issues, right?

22. They’ve known each other for 5mins, but they are instantly in love, I swear!!!

23.  Must buckle bae’s seatbelt (and longingly stare at them in the process!)

24. Tickle / pillow fights aren’t just for kids!!

25. Short term memory alert! Gotta flash back to a scene that happened 2mins ago.

26. Showers are for being thoughtful, blowing off steam, or showing off your mandatory sixpack!

27. It’s raining? Let’s have an emotional moment! We could break up, make up, make out, or you could lend me your umbrella!

28. Possessiveness is cute! He’s mine, I’m his, and he will want to murder you if you touch his property!

29. Boyfie just pulled a guitar/song out of their ass! I didn’t even know they were into music!

30. I’m drunk! Just kidding, I’m suddenly sober now!

31. Actually, I really was drunk! And I conveniently don't remember anything about last night. Whoopsie!

32. Kissing is a sin! Let’s act like kindergarteners instead by only kissing on the cheek instead!

33. Oops! We just fell into each other’s arms. (Or on each other's lips, even better!!!)

34. Gotta love my buddies who are overly obsessed with my love/sex life!

35. Let’s misunderstand each other to create tension! I will walk off if you try to tell me something important! Hmph! 

36. When you say ‘stop’, you really mean ‘continue’, right?

37. My bae is much pure, very demure. Never been kissed or had the seggs before. Even if he’s 30 and allosexual!

38. I want to kiss you soooo bad! Let me just awkwardly press my lips against yours without movement, or the passion I apparently feel. Just like two dead fish! How cute! Much passionate, very fireworks!

39. Being step-brothers is kinda sexy, don't you think? 

40. If you can't think of a unique premise for your side-couple, just do friends-to-lovers. Works a treat every time, so just copy all the shows that came before you!
