tang yi/andy, the gay posse pre-canon

[no_detective]

i just came across this bit in the comments to the intros post: 22-year-old Tang Yi and his Gay Posse partying it up in Taipei's gay nightclub scene - and while i do ship the younger versions of tang yi and andy, i really want fic about the queer community tang yi has around him as he's coming of age. i LOVE that the show makes a point of showing this community, via jin tang (the doctor) and andy (the vixen) and their boyfriends, because that is REALISTIC! also i love that the few friends tang yi has whose pics he is comfortable having on his phone are from outside/on the outskirts of his gang-related life, but they all know and support him and - it's just really, really making me happy that he has a found family of sorts beyond xin tian meng.

also you know he and andy have A PAST and are now EXTREMELY GOOD FRIENDS who know each other EXTREMELY WELL:



even outside the pretend!makeouts for jealousy purposes and the teasing after, look at that casually intimate hand on tang yi's waist. GAH I WOULD READ SO MUCH OF THIS Y'ALL.

(preferably without any of the warning content; also without cheating/adultery and homophobia as a plot point, please.)

So, there is a gay bar in HIStory3: Make Our Days Count, and the owner of said bar is a minor supporting character. Out of curiosity, are you OK with minor MODC cameos?

i haven't seen MODC and i'm not sure i will (i've seen some negative reviews), so i wouldn't mind at all; they'll just read as original characters to me :D

I have seen the whole thing and agree with the negative reviews. You're not missing out on anything. There are some nice touches like the existence of a gay bar and one of the characters has a found family, but these minor details do not in way make the series good or even worth your time.

but back to TY/Andy, oh yeah, those two certainly have A PAST together. There is A STORY there.

thank you for the confirmation :D

and YES OMG. tang yi looks so happy while he's hanging out with andy at the bar! when i first watched the show, his smile + laughter + teasing were a revelation of another side of his character (up to that point he appears pretty stern-faced and serious, even while trolling msf or hanging out with his little sister).

anyway, i'm thinking they probably met at university, where tang yi maybe figured out some things about his own sexuality (or put into practice what he's been thinking about for a while) and in the process found friends for life. i'd like to think those friends were the ones to comfort him after the death of his mentor, at a time when he had to appear tough and in control for the rest of the gang plus be the emotional support for his sister. hell, it comforts me that he probably had plenty of shoulders to cry on outside his gang circle. OH - maybe andy walked him through a makeover as he was building his gang leader persona/look? those fantastic suits don't resemble anything tang guo dong ever wore on screen... so it might have been emotional support via shopping expedition? OH DAMMIT, I'M GIVING MYSELF SERIOUS FEELS ABOUT THE GAY POSSE NOW.

for what it's worth, I recently finished MODC and had positive to mixed feelings about most of it--the beginning is a little rough and the last episode is an absolute trainwreck that you're better off just pretending doesn't exist, but I actually enjoyed the middle bit quite a lot. It's *very* high school, though, and it definitely has more of a "horny kids experiencing their first love" vibe than most of the other HIStory shows. I did appreciate it showing us characters wrestling with their families reacting to them coming out in different ways--probably my favorite part of the show tbqh. It's not for everyone, & I'm not really trying to recommend or even defend it, but I do think that maybe the godawfulness of the last episode might be skewing the reviews a hair.

gotcha - that's good to know. high school romance is not really my thing, but i've totally seen a bad series ending affect fandom's perception of the whole; it's unfortunate whenever it happens. i appreciate this info, though; thank you!
