Diahann Carroll (Paris Blues, Carmen Jones, Porgy and Bess)— Face of an angel. She had the range. She brought chemistry with every romance she portrayed. She also had a great fashion sense, and was so pretty Mattel made a doll based off of her.
Joan Collins (The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing; Land of the Pharaohs; The Opposite Sex)—I love her as the vamping, outright evil Joan Crawford character in The Opposite Sex. What can we say but we love a camp queen

here she is hanging out with shadow prince anthony perkins :3
Another groundbreaking black actress, although she might be better remembered for her television roles. She was also an activist and worked with charities to support women in need.
What I think about shadowgast. Everyone agrees they could make each other better but I think it's fun that they could just as easily be the worst thing that's ever happened to each other. They are just similar enough in singleminded hubris to indulge each other's worst impulses. Time travel is transmutation + dunamancy.
all the comparisons between chang and stalin in 3x21 the first chang dynasty are especially funny when you remember those comparisons originated with a troy line from season one: “the only difference between stalin and señor chang is that I know who señor chang is”
might be alone in this, but I actually prefer essek being totally correct about the luxon not being a god more than any other theory. there's something so delicious in knowing you've proved evethying you'd always striven to prove, and then realizing that what you did to get there wasn't worth it. that you shouldn't have done it. to be totally vindicated, and have it not matter. to claim the title of the world's bestest, most smartest, rightest boy and realize it doesn't mean a damn thing
If you have bilibili.com app, or have the site open, you can watch videos on there. (I made my account without a weibo account so its relatively doable to make one if you'd like to favorite videos)
If you want to say read manhua, but would like to hear how the words are pronounced, or you read faster with audio, or you'd like a kind of quick-animated clip kind of experience? You can search any manhua name then 漫剧 manju. So 破云漫剧 for poyun manhua clip, of just search 漫剧 and browse (with the suggestions bilibili gives me i see like 100 danmei manhua suggested videos when i search that, and a lot of detective ones)
The videos are either usually short 1-4 minute clips of a manhua chapter (i used to watch the 盗墓笔记重启 ones cause theyre all funny self contained stories), and long 1-4 hour videos of entire collections of many chapters of a manhua. They're voice acted or narrated, with captions and/or text bubbles on screen, and some even have sound effects and music and slight animations done on the art panels. It can be a nice middle ground if you'd like to read, but still want kind of the audio that comes with an audio drama or donghua. And if you know some words based on aound and some from only reading its one way to get both listening and text when light reading (aka when you don't want to concentrate on all text no pictures with an audiobook of a novel).
Desperately need Steve and Billy playing romantic rivals on a soap opera like Dynasty and having fights onscreen while having crazy backstage trailer sex offscreen.

Accidentally time travelled to 500 years in the future? No problem! Just hit up the local library to learn about how to take a bath in the 21st Century 📖
A beautifully painted He Who Watches What He Would Seize, the crocodile's name written with that groovy eye "with paint" (Gardiner's hieroglyph D5). From the Book of the Dead of Isty.
(I should note that his target is usually a pottery vessel, and not apparently the butt of the figure standing in front of him!)
I started White Cat Legend with low expectations and unfortunately it did not exceed those expectations in the end. I did finish it though, so it wasn't that bad, just nothing to write home about.
If there's one thing that guzhuang dramas do well, it's usually the angsty childhood friends turned enemies because of some misunderstanding trope. I will give props to the Li Bing/Qiu Qingzhi plot line. It was angsty, touching, and kept me guessing. I just wish it got more screentime.
Ouch. I felt for Li Bing here. He's too far away to see Qiu Qingzhi's face, otherwise he would know QQZ was shook up. 😢
When LB addressed QQZ as General Qiu, that was cold. QQZ was about to cry knowing LB was misunderstanding him so badly. You could see the pain in his face. He wanted to explain everything, but he knew he couldn't in order to protect LB.
Even after LB told him they aren't friends, QQZ didn't hesitate to save LB because QQZ still cherishes their friendship. I was a a bit pissed we didn't get to see LB visit QQZ while he was recovering. The man saved his life! It's the least he could do. 😑
Nooo! Poor QQZ. They just had to go the tragic route with this trope didn't they?
QQZ is about to die and all he wants to know is if they're still besties. 😭😭😭 QQZ was always looking out for LB. 😭 I would have translated this as "Of course. Of course we are." I think sure sounds a bit flippant for the situation. 😅
The fucking montage of their happy times together. 😭 They just have to break out hearts.
LB missing QQZ hours. This series is a comedy for the most part, but damn they really hurt me with the LB/QQZ story line.
