the idea of dipper and bill having to act as a "normal" white fence suburdan home married couple bc of "blending in with community" to investigate some particular magical phenamone or a cult or a monster or whatever and dipper is suffering, and bill is suffering too but he's also having sick fun with horrid fascination as an insane demon does, and they ask mabel for ideas, they have a barbeque housewarming party-

-wont leave my mind, its been *days*

dipper: this sucks, people live like this???

bill: I KNOW! THIS SUCKS! *fascinated like a watching a trainwreck or natural disaster* AMAZING

Pine Tree shuts the door behind him very quietly. A gentle 'click' as the latch sets in place.

Bill looks up from where he was flipping through the newspaper. He puffs on his pipe - unlit, but hey! It's for the look of things! - and smiles.

"Hello honey!" Bill takes the pipe out of his mouth, bouncing a slipper on his foot. "How was the homeowner's association meeting?"

Pine Tree stares forward. A muscle in his jaw twitches.

Bill hums to himself, and smiles.

Domesticity! Such as it is. That wonderful white-picket fence, no magic, no monsters, and no chaos-

The paper under his hands tears slightly. Bill clears his throat, shuffling the pages. He gives up on the ruse of news-reading - whether or not those nosy assholes across the street are watching - and flips, nonchalant, right to the comics section. He already solved the crossword in his head ten minutes ago.

Easy. He's got this. It's only been, like a couple days. There are way longer cons he's played, and this one isn't the worst!

Besides.

He'll be damned if he breaks before his mortal does.

"I talked to Linda." Pine Tree's voice is flat. He slowly strides over to the window, and draws the curtains shut.

"And?" Bill prompts, sitting up a little more. Man, sapling's got a full thousand yard-gaze going! He watches with fascination.

"She's so glad to see that the," Pine Tree lifts his hands, making finger quotes. "'Non-traditional' couple is so," He swallows, holding down some simmering fury. "'Decent'" Bill's throat jumps, but. Nope, not perfect. The gagging noise still came through. But he nods, very seriously.

Acting.

"And," Pine Tree says, very slowly. Turning towards Bill, equally slow, and deliberate. "Even though she said I could water the lawn, since it's dying, now I can't water the lawn, because it violates some…" His hand clenches to a fist by his side. "Like, contractor agreement thing?"

"Oh, don't worry about that, honey!" Bill exclaims, with a perfect nineteen fifties voice - he's got that in the bag. "I'm sure it'll all work ou-"

"Except," Pine Tree strides in, planting hands on Bill's armchair, and staring him right in the face. "We're also getting fined for every day that the lawn is dead."

Bill can't help it. He snorts, face scrunching up. A full catch-22! Linda's got another thing coming, eventually. Once they track down this monster.

But hey! Bill can understand sadism, and contractual bullshit! If only Pine Tree wasn't around, he'd have made the trap appropriately lethal.

"Aw, rough day, huh?" Bill sets his pipe down, patting his husband on the shoulder. "Don't worry, honey, we'll-"

And Pine Tree yanks him forward. Gripping Bill's smoking jacket so tight that he hauls him nearly out of his chair. Bill blinks.

"If you call me 'honey' again," He mutters. "I'm going to murder you."

Bill can't stop his laugh this time, and as his cute little mortal rattles him back and forth -

Oh thank chaos, Pine Tree's the one broke first.

"Bill? This sucks." Pine Tree insists, teeth gritted. Shaking Bill harder now. He searches for words, he splutters - one hand waves at the air. "How does anyone live like this?"

Ha! Maybe now he gets how great he has it. No bureaucracy ! No trying to hide what you are from jerks who think magic is 'wrong'! No suburban life, no lawncare, and no rules!

Bill's mortal has too many hangups. You can explode any problem if you want to!

Pity he's not willing to do it with Linda.

"Hell if I know!" Bill exclaims, and surges up. He heaves out a breath, scratching at his neck. "Bullshit magical prejudice. Don't worry, kid!" He pats his husband on the back. "We'll get out of here in no time."

The monster that's preying on these mortals can't hide much longer. Once that's solved, Bill's contingency will kick in. And then -

"No, I found the vampire," Pine Tree says, half distracted. Bill does a double-take. What, he didn't mention that first? "I just, uh."

Bill wags a hand. Prompting.

And Pine Tree shrugs. Offering up an awkward smile. He rubs the back of his neck. "I…. kinda rigged her septic tank to blow once we got out of here."

Bill tugs him closer, beaming now. "Now that's a nice move!" He tucks his hands under Pine Tree's arms, but the human squirms away before he can pick him up. "It's what, a vicinity based setup?" A quick nod, and he grins wider. "Clever trick, kid." "I'd... ask if that's too much, but knowing you, it's not." Bill's cute little mortal punches him, adorably, in the stomach.

"Pfft, nah, that's nothing," Bill nudges him, and grins. Pine Tree's not the only guy who's heard some comments. "You should see what I set up for her house."

8 Hours

I randomly decided to try it out for Xiao Yan. It is surprisingly good! I like the fantasy-tech element a lot. They really put a lot of thought into the story. Some parts are cheesy and predictable, but it's neither rage-inducing or laughable. I'm two-thirds through and am really enjoying it.

Xiao Yan, I knew you would not disappoint me. Tong Mengshi, I knew you would and you stayed true to your talentless self. Second male lead, you are doing a good job. I like you even though you are delusional and self-centered. The women really are not-cringey. I like all of them. I enjoy all the characters pretty much. And I don't have to skip much, except that horrible intro song.

My dude in wheelchair and his amazing fiancee are my favorite characters. I love them so much!!

Anyways, I'm enjoying it. Xiao Yan is an underrated actress and deserves some good dramas. I'm giving it a 8.5/10 at episode 27.

My Favorite 2022 Dramas

In no particular order...

A Dream of Splendor

If the drama has a high production and an outstanding cast, it’s pretty much guaranteed to grab my interest and boy did this drama do that! I was hooked from the very beginning and loved it all the way through. Liu Yifei and Chen Xiao were stunning together. But what I really enjoyed about this drama was the focus on the 3 ladies working together to build a business, hold their friendships together and support each other in each of their relationships. The gal pals were my favorite part. 

Love Like The Galaxy

Speaking of outstanding casts and high production, Love like the Galaxy has it too. Once again Zhao Lusi proves to be one of my favorite actresses but now Leo Wu has caught my eye and I look forward to what he will be a part of in future dramas. Their chemistry was perfect. I had seen several memes of Zhao Lusi as the chaotic girlfriend and Leo Wu as the calm boyfriend and this fits them so well. Plus, the emperor is my favorite character. He is the rare “I don’t have to be dignified if I don’t want to” royal. I want more of him. 

Eight Hours

Though I haven’t finished this drama, it already is one of my favorites. It combines fantasy wuxia and science fiction so well. This one of those shows that dares to be different from the usual mold. You just have fun with all the characters (even if some of them are bit too campy and ridiculous) and not one episode is boring. This one is not going to get a lot of love from other drama lovers so let me give this a shout out. It’s good so give it a try!

My Sassy Princess

This was your standard costume drama with two big names, a simple love story and a little bit of palace drama to keep the plot moving. But that wasn’t what interested me. I was invested in the female lead who chased her man like a bull running through the streets of Pamplona during the bull running festival. Go, get him girl! Ordinarily I would have hated this character (she is pretty spoiled), but we don’t get enough women chasing men in dramas. So often it’s the men and that’s fine, but let’s get the ladies out there snagging their fellas. And this gal really went for it. And watching him give in to her love pursuits was pretty cute. She wore him down eventually. 

Love Between Fairy and Devil

Yes, I was one of those MANY, MANY people who loved this drama. This drama belongs on this list for quite a few reasons, but the big one is Dylan Wang. He really has grown in his acting since Meteor Garden and it shows. As usual Esther Yu continues to blind us with her adorableness and her cute character traits. Their chemistry was entertaining especially when they switched bodies. I compare the main two to Hades and Persephone but at least they didn’t have that ending. 

The Legendary Life of Queen Lau

Yessss!!! Funny, romantic and interesting! It checks all these boxes. Sure, the story is campy and some of the plot is a bit ridiculous, but overall it’s a lot of fun. It’s a great feel-good drama. Give me more of Jackie Li! She is so cute as the empress who has lots of fun adventures in the palace. Keep an eye on this lady!

Gentlemen of East 8th

Now for a drama from the guys’ perspective! Anything Zhang Han stars in is on my watchlist and the fact he WROTE and starred in this drama put this at the top of my list. Why isn’t it getting more attention? It’s so good! The problems are more real-world problems and the issues are more complex that the usual couples go in dramas. The relationships are complex and layered, not so simple or easily explained. All 4 men go through their own trials but still support each other and it’s so nice to see a good bromance!!

Here’s to 2023 and all the new dramas that come with it!!

[reallysomeonetookobituaries]

Does anyone else think going to sleep is the human equivalent of turning something of and back on again

#Like you havin bad thots again #Time to get unconscious #It'll help #Tech support be like have you tried Turning it off and on again #And I gotta be like yeah I turned me off for twelve hours and I'm still tired #I've tried six hours of sleep #Ten hours #For hours #Eight hours #It's a mee problem #A meeee Mario problem #~I'm to tired to sleep~ #Weeee
