I see you're a GL enthusiast and others have often tagged you in GL related content... As someone who has consumed a little BL and is curious about quality GL stories, do you have like 2 or 3 recs for me? Thank you!

hi!! i'm so glad you asked *pulls out a presentation on all the gl crumbs i've collected over the years*

we don't have a lot (yet!!!!) it's mostly miniseries, short films and side couples but i'll try my best to put together a list of my personal picks hope you'll be able to find something you like <3

first of all here's some of the longer / higher production stuff we've got

Sleep With Me

Philippines, 6 eps, iWantTFC and GagaOOLala

tw ableism

100/10 can't possibly recommend it enough. a beautiful and sweet story, not too heavy but still complex, the actresses have amazing chemistry that made me all giggly, disability rep, high quality everything. oh and the screenwriter&director is sapphic herself!!

(if the other options don't work for you or you want to make gifs you can download the episodes here)

Fragrance of The First Flower

Taiwan, 6 eps, GagaOOLala

tw homophobia

great acting, writing, cinematography, music, created by a sapphic woman, one of the main actresses is openly bi BUT it has a sad ending (sorry for the spoiler) so if that's something you avoid this show might not be for you

The Handmaiden

Korea, movie, Netflix, Prime, Apple TV

tw graphic violence, abuse

a wlw classic, absolute masterpiece, has a surprisingly happy ending. highly recommend if you haven't watched it already

Couple of Mirrors

China, 12 eps, youtube

tw murder, guns

based on a gl manhua but it's china so the show is censored meaning that there's no explicit declaration of romantic love. however it's all still very obvious and i love this couple dearly, they have a v interesting dynamic. and xu youyi is one of my favorite characters of all time, what a woman. the ending is ??? but there's some hope for a second season

now onto the miniseries

Girlfriend Project Day 1

Korea, 4 eps, youtube

fake dating, enemies to lovers, super cute. very short but the second season has been announced 🥳🥳

you can also find a mv starring the lead actresses here

Nevertheless (side couple)

Korea, 10 eps

don't watch the whole show you really don't need that just watch the soljiwan cut it can stand on its own as a miniseries (i've watched it here i think it's a really nice cut)

best friends to lovers, mutual pining, absolutely delicious. had me crying screaming throwing up

My Fairy Ghost

Japan, 4 eps, youtube

romance between two artists, one alive and the other not so much. don't worry though this has the happiest ending!!!!

Magic of Zero: Zero Photography

Thailand, 1 ep, youtube

tw body image issues

if you're a bl fan you've probably already watched bad buddy (if you haven't you really should). this is a sequel about the gl side couple from that series but it can stand alone. it's an incredibly cute story about established girlfriends with a fantasy element. it should be obvious from my blog how obsessed i am with these girls aksghsksks

Out of Breath

Korea, 3 eps, youtube

a sweet story about two women who met on a dating app. tbh i don't remember much about this apart from the fact that i liked it

She Makes My Heart Flutter

Korea, 5 eps, youtube

from the same director as out of breath. a story about two lesbians, niece and aunt, navigating their queer lives. an awesome sapphic friend group, multiple romantic subplots. it's currently airing so tune in <3

Chinese miniseries and short films

i'm putting them all into one category because there's a lot of them but they're all rather short. some of the longer ones are legend of yunqian, legend of yunze, led astray by love, the vampires, a practical guide to being a superstar's assistant. because they're so short the stories are generally too fast-paced and the production is not high by any means but they're all so beautiful and cute and i enjoy them a lot so i decided to include them in the list. you can find all of the ones i mentioned and more here and here

(the screenshot is from the short film the fox spirit and the little priest you can find it on youtube)

i'm sure i've forgotten something but here's the list for now, enjoy 💗 tell me what you think if you watch anything i'm curious 👀 sorry for such a late reply as you can see i got a bit carried away....

i strongly believe that in any universe modern or otherwise lwj uses lan xichen as a kind of confessional like a catholic priest. he literally comes into lan xichen's room at four pm precisely because that's the scheduled time that he allows himself to share an Emotion with his brother and sits down and says in a distinctly monotone yet perfectly recognisably anguished tone 'brother i have sinned' and lan xichen sighs very quietly because he doesn't want to hurt his brother's feelings and puts down his pen and says 'is this about wei wuxian' very gently and Lan Wangji is like 'mn' because it has never once Not been about wei wuxian. and then he says something that is Kind Of Weird, But Still Not A Sin like 'he fell asleep when we were studying and i watched his ribcage moving up and down for thirty eight minutes until he choked on nothing and woke himself up; am i evil' and once again lan xichen will kind of not-sigh in a way that makes it very obvious that in all other ways except physical he Is, Indeed, Sighing and has to reassure the most rigidly distraught younger brother in the history of mankind that what he is suffering from is in fact a malady known colloquially as a crush
