sweet/savoury/spicy: Sweet :3

currently watching:

Koisenu Futari

Chains of Heart

The Golden Girls (season 1)

other stuff I watched this year: Not listing all of it here (I've never watched so much stuff as I did in 2023), but I'll mention the ones that I enjoyed watching the most from each month so far (*not including rewatches):

JAN: Wednesday

FEB: GAP

MAR: Not Me

JUL: Takin' Over The Asylum

AUG: Marry My Dead Body

SEP: Utsukushii Kare: Eternal

OCT: The Sandman

shows I dropped this year/didn't finish: I barely remember the ones I watched till the very end 🤡 But ok, let me see...

Eve (dropped after one episode; Rich People and their Rich People Problems™, I think was the reason)

A few straight GMMTV shows that I didn't really catch the name (I. Well. I just. I just couldn't make myself give a fuck, ok 😔)

+ Currently deliberating whether or not I should drop Chains of Heart. All the subtitles I've found are lacking in terms of coherence, and the story itself is already not the most straightforward, so I can only hope I'm understanding what's going on at all? 😀 And I'm also not feeling the main couple from either the present nor the past (? I suspect they are the same (but I may never know))... HOWEVER, I like the acting of the main, and the Thai scenario that is not Bangkok for once. That's always refreshing. And sometimes the cinematography is pretty too... Decisions, decisions...

currently listening to: Back for More by TXT & Anitta (I went after the link for it and distractedly searched for "banger" instead of the title 😆)

currently reading: Codename Villanelle (it's a small book but I'm. ..struggle)

current obsession: I'm not obsessing over anything at the moment 😟☹😫 Have been too busy with mundane adult life problems (therefore, as you can imagine, I'm just about going up the walls here :))

Goodness forbid I watch anything without being hit with the intense urge to cosplay the main character

#This is about renegade nell. #It'll be quite the ambitious project but alas #Me to my two younger sisters: Omg we should all be the sisters from renegade Nell. You two would be great for George and Roxy. #My sisters who did not watch a single full episode: No. #Devastating moment for local... Me. #My sisters and I love cosplaying as siblings. #Me and my teen sister are always dipper and Mabel from gravity falls. Me and my little sister are always wirt and Greg from otgw #Next con my teen sister and I are gonna be Klaus and Violet baudelaire. She's gonna be Violet. Yes I am older than her :( #Devastating moment for local short king. #my posts #After being dipper and Mabel twice my sister and I have a running joke where everytime we go anywhere we say we're gonna pretend to be twin #The topic never comes up but it's still fun. #Because of course we're the same height. And she's even taller with those tall ass goth shoes she wears #Damn #Wait what was this post about again #Oh yeah I'm gonna cosplay Nell at some point I've already started the costume piece list on my cosplay spreadsheet

i finished watching death note which was my hw background noise so what the hell do i watch now

#i want to watch other animes but death note is one of the few i prefer dubbed so i could get away with watching in english #maybe i’ll watch a resE playthrough or something #although those are kind of my nap time background noise #could listen to more rqg but i’ve already listened to like 5 eps today while working on hw #alex’s inane ramblings #really want to rewatch train to busan but i will not do my hw because i’ll be too busy reading subtitles 😔 #OH i could watch death parade. the dub’s pretty good for that one #i’m just going through a mental list of animes i watched dubbed back in middle/high school

[todayisafridaynight]

i cant even ask people to apologize to aoki cause i hate him too but Come On

#iw spoilers #spoilers #snap chats #NOT TO ALREADY SPOIL MY IW REVIEW BUT IF YOU WERE WATCHING ME PLAY YOU ALREADY KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING #trying so hard not to just type out my review SORRY LMAO BUT I JUST HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS NOW THAT I SLEPT ON IT #i know aoki sucks and theres no reason to like him or respect him but cmon .... did we really have to make ebina .... he sucks .... #his boss theme isnt even that good everything about him sucks .... and unless i wanted to get shot i coludnt even hear dan kim VA as him #so he doesnt even get those brownie points but even if he did everything else about him was so. 🧍‍♂️ #they didnt totally squander masato's memory tho but ill get into it later i actually really like the thing im thinkin bout #when i actually stream ill bitch bout ebina tho and whatever but its just funny that the more i type out my list #the more i realize a handful of my issues just go back to his ugly ass

[cryptidafter]

I have yet to see a show tackle sexuality, sexual violence, and sexual trauma as well as I May Destroy You.

#cryptid's thoughts #it's been an extremely difficult watch but such necessary topics to depict and open up broader discussions #when people talk about not showing sex in shows and movies - I think they forget about how important these conversations are #especially in a society that already has such heavy stigma surrounding sex and sexuality #which in turn perpetuates violence - often against those most vulnerable #media will never be a substitute for actual education but it can serve as a catalyst #trying to get through some of the things on my watch list

[livvyofthelake]

anyway. new topic. i really do think this weeks riverdale is going to be the game changer. like this is gonna be the one that brings it all back to being good. i'm staking a lot on this so. you know i hope it does what i need it to do. i'm still very mad that episodes 2-4 were such flops, frankly i didn't even finish 4 i got so annoyed about kevin and betty and archie and al that shit. but no i really think 5 is gonna slay i'm excited for it we're so back <3

#another topic but i don't want to make another post. tumblr wants me to wacth this show with peyton list and milo manheim in it so bad #like it's ridiculous. i gather that they're ghosts? why would i watch a teen drama streaming original about ghosts #i already have a show about ghosts... and no offense but seeing peyton list on my screen instills primal rage within me #that's not her fault i have a lot of issues with the karate show and she happens to be in there. i feel the same with all those actors #unfortunately she's the only one of them with a career lmao. sorry to all those people. #anyway. i don't particularly want to watch it. which makes the incessent ads incredibly annoying. #beth.txt

Being an undercover queer fanfiction writer is so amusing. The other day this guy was telling me about the show You (he asked me if I'd watched it and I said I heard about it, purely thanks to Miss Swift) and how it was about this obsessive psychotic guy, and it was clear he didn't think I wouldn't watch something like that. Like. My boy, I WRITE that shit. Whatever the MC of You is on, it can't be worse than smniyb!Alec

#also i do watch shows about obsessive people who stop at nothing #like hannibal and killing eve #you didnt make my list purely because its heterosexual #i didnt mention those shows to him cause. well. he already knows i read gay love stories (he saw the summary of rsom while i was reading it #one day) #i dont need him to know that 99 percent of the shit i consume is gay as fuck #don't mind me ramblings

[chrismcshell]

last night i watched someone play through the first couple hours of hi-fi rush again, and this might have been a bad idea because now i am once again HAUNTED by how good this game looks and how good its soundtrack is and how much i want to play it. help

#ray speaks #i think at this point ive watched 3 or 4 people get past the 2nd boss #and im kind of avoiding watching too far past that because i do eventually want to play the game myself. #but i was keeping it lower on my list of games to play because 1. i wanted to wait for it to go on sale and #2. there are already so many games in my backlog that i already own; i wanna get through some of those before buying more #but..... Man #remembering when this game first dropped and i found out about it shortly after and i just lost my mind for a whole day #eyes wide; jaw dropped; smiling uncontrollably #INSTANTLY one of the Video Games Of All Time. need to get my hands on it sooner or later

Today was a bit of a mixed bag of a day, but now i feel much better, turns out going out and touching grass actually improves your mood!

(Even if it's like a trip to the grocery store)

Anyways, thanks to @solana-ceae for tagging! And as usual anyone who wants to do this is welcome to try, here's the link!

#fanfic tropes #yep not really surprised #always loved those long plot heavy fics #though established relationship fics hold a very special place in my heart ALWAYS #also fun fact #the top tier tropes in this list have actually gotten me into new fandoms #like for a long time i didn't even need to watch teen wolf because i already knew most of the plot from the fix it fics #also i love canon divergent fics #like how that (1) decision might have changed everything #especially for dramione #and body swap if written well is 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 #and my entire dc robins fic reading is almost fully fix its of some sort #not mentioned here but hurt no comfort is my least favorite trope #i know there are ppl who use fic to cry #i am the reverse #if I'm feeling shitty i will use the power of a fic to make me feel better #useranndoctalk

okay but what are some of the netflix kdramas that y'all would recommend?

#i see so much of those on my dash #ive watched its okay not to be okay ages ago #and the lesbian plot of nevertheless #but i need some good recommendations #dont ask me about my already too long to watch list i dont control my brain or anything i do or want or watch

[stop-breaking-my-heart-telltale]

have you watched the last of us? if not are you planning to?

I haven't, and honestly, I don't plan to. I wasn't ever a huge fan of The Last of Us to begin with just due to personal experience and I haven't played the second one. No real investment in it, but I've heard the show's pretty good, though.

#asks #ngl i don't watch a lot of shows these days sksks i'm *very* behind on shows that have come out in the past like... three years sksks #i'm one of those who rewatches things i've already watched but it's like pulling teeth to get me to watch something new #though that might actually change with dragon age absolution #that one IS on my list to binge watch eventually i just haven't done it yet

people who believe that modern precure is “falling off” are kind of insane i think

#very broad statement because i totally understand what they mean. i feel like a lot of more recent precure series' have been a little #more on the forgettable/mid tier (saying this just purely based on appearances alone. because thats a huge factor for me) #but thats always sort of been the case ... theres eh precure series from every point #kira kira has some of the most delightful designs and one of the strongest casts from any precure series #and i just was looking at a bunch of tropical rouge stuff (i will finish it someday LOL) and my gawd the fight scenes go hard #and the stylization in tropical rouge in my opinion is really lovely. it has sort of that average anime look to it but defines itself with #really fun shapes and expressiveness. i also think the color usage is just really good #wont ever get tired of the rainbow lineups where every cure just gets 1 color basically because its still done in a very appealing way #but i like when cures in a series get more interesting palettes #anyway - theres always more to want from precure. i know id go crazy if i made my own precure series. but theres also so much about precure #thats just so delightful and its quite a shame i think that its crazily popular in japan but was never properly brought over here #and when it was with smile precure (turned into glitter force) it was ... mangled #they also brought over doki doki (still under the glitter force title) and i only ever watched a bit of the dubbed version ... but i think #they might have kept it more intact ? but also havent tried any series after those two ? #i dont know all i remember is draculaura voiced the main girl (cure heart) #anyway my point was something. something something oh yeah i think the only thing id say aside from various things id hypothetically want #from future precure series (the list could go on forever) that i'll say right now is. i wish they went a little crazier with the styles for #each series. of course the style differs from series to series already but i want ...even more stylized ones #of course id be saying this when my second favorite series is heartcatch which has the coolest style and animation ever but oh my god #precure is precure and is basically appealing no matter what but ... also im a guy who just leans towards more interesting styles #i would like to continue star twinkle precure of course and think it is cute for what it is style wise but its also not my favorite #kind of style. this is more nitpicky hyper specific tastes though. im just rambling #most appealing looking precure series' in my personal opinion are futari wa. heartcatch. kira kira a la mode. and tropical rouge

just finished watching a Pokemon SV playthrough

#i still have my gripes with the optimization and how the game was released #and i still think this dex was pretty meh in terms of design #HOWEVER #the emotional climax of the story shoot it to the top of my pokemon games list #they took everything good about the characters from SWSH and built on top of it #they took everything that failed about the story in SWSH and fixed it #genuinely felt so refreshing and exciting #i laughed and teared up at multiple times! #i know im a bit of a baby but considering how disparaging i was when i started watching #i was forced to enjoy it! in a good way! #i still think Nintendo/Game Freak deserve all the flack they got from all the way the gameplay failed upon launch #all the glitches and camera freaking out in cutscenes and frames dropping to the point one player i was watching had to leave an area #as soon as she finished the quest cause she was afraid the game will crash again if she tried to keep catching pokemon there #and she had already lost hours of gameplay #unlike with my opinions on some pokemon. these aren't opinions. this was lack of time and resources. #without those things these games are genuinely a marvel #im waiting to see if they patch some shit up before i consider buying them #((they shouldn't have to patch so much weeks after launch on a 60$ game agh)) #STILL #i truly loved the way it looks and the exploration angle #it brought me around to liking overworld pokemon. which i was always against! #so! conclusion!! i truly loved these games despite all my reservations #there was obviously a lot of love and care put into so much of it #i also want to gnaw at the legs of CEOs that force the release of these games when there are still dev objects on the scenes #pas post

Sigh. Nikola why must you be one of the more interesting oni characters. I don't wanna think abt you with your stupid spiky blond hair and your unethical science that mostly just serves to make Jackie more shitty by proxy. But I do. Because you're kind of orbo blorbo. Fuck you Nikola I hope you explode again

#rat rambles #oni posting #hes just extremely fascinating in the scientist crowd because he has a weirdly large presence in the like. actual meat of the lore. #like he has an actual arc that relates to the quote unquote plot of oni #he made the field around earth he made the neural vaculators (presumably) he contributed to the teleporters and was also involved with #some of the other projects in the bioengineering department and is one of the two scientists that we know for sure knew abt and worked with #duplicants and all of that and almost every instant of nikola being relevant hes only seen second hand #the One thing that we have that is Maybe directly from him is an email that hes the most likely canidate for #and I mean it Im pretty sure outside of that hes only ever either mentioned second hand or doesnt talk in the case of that one ellie email #even the one time we see proper dialogue from him it isnt even a recording its a second hand retelling from ruby #its soooo fascinating I dont even know if this was on purpose but I love it regardless #now tbf theres other characters who are also mostly if not only mentioned second hand but none that have as much of a lore presence as him #nails was close but then 'a seed is planted' dropped and they became a part of the troubling second hand nikola info club #watch them finally add ashkan dialogue and its just him talking abt nikola being involved in the puppy ai incident too or smth #the thing is that isnt even that out there nikola Did work on the teleporters and worked on somw gravitas time travel shit too so who knows #Im trying to think of theres anyone else whos mentioned in the logs but doesnt actually talk and I know there's steve and ada but hmmm #this isnt counting artifact or news artical specific mentions tbc we're talking within character dialogue #sorry meep mae and pei #WAIT cant believe I forgot abt devon rip bestie my sincerest apologies #I think thats it tho everyone else whos mentioned in dialogue has dialogue Im pretty sure #well direct dialogue I mean #oh tbc ashkan is also in that club #hes probably in second place on the weirdness of his lack of dialogue due to his striking presence in several log list #now tbf hes mentioned like 3 times I think? not counting artifacts ofc. so he's not talked abt That frequently #but one of those is in a paradox and the others are in story traits so its still interesting #I had already loved ashkan before doing my full lore dive so finding out this mysterious dr.ali was my boy ashkan was a delight #now ofc technically ashkan could have secret dialogue that we just dont know is him since we dont know his work id but still #we dont know nikolas either but nikola is likely in engineering and ashkan is likely in robotics so theyre both not likely to be them #they Could be as they do likely work with the bioengineering department but nikola is fully crossed out as the fossil guy at least #ashkan Could be the fossil guy but its not likely imo as theyre also the guy in the husbandry log implying theyre fully a biologist
