#what to watch now

[miss0atae]

I had to watch something during the beginning of the week because the BL industry right now thinks we deserve their episodes only from Friday to Sunday and it doesn't sit well with me. So, I decided that since GMMTV is going to bring us the Thai version of Ossan's Love (a version will probably won't be able to see if things work out the same way it did for Cherry Magic TH) I would take the time to watch the OG version.

I have to admit, I'm not a fan of Japanese BLs. In general, I'm not a fan of Japanese TV series. I avoid them because they mostly don't appeal to me. I wouldn't be able to explain exactly why. I think it mostly goes with the pacing of the series or the ugly hairstyles I can't stand (controversial opinion I know). It's probably why I missed some gems after all these years. However, with this new trend of BLs only at the end of the week, it was the perfect time to try all those Japanese BLs series.

I'm glad I decided to try some of them because I really liked some. I was also really let down by many. It's true that we can change our mind about things we thought were set in stone.

When I read the synopsis and saw the trailer of Ossan's Love, I was afraid it would be too silly for me. Comedy is not my favorite genre. There are very few comedies that I like. Unfortunately, I feel that Jpanese comedy is even harder to get than comedy from my own language. Knowing that it was a prominent aspect in the series, I felt like I wouldn't like Ossan's Love and I would drop it quickly. It didn't happen. I didn't like the first episode but it's usually the case with most series so I watched the second one and I was hooked without knowing it. I became invested when I reached the third episode and couldn't wait to see what would happen. Ossan's Love surprised me.

So here are some thoughts I had about the series:

▪️Haruta is... Not easy to appreciate. At first, I couldn't stand him... But behind the silly and goofy acts of him, there was something else and I kind of understand why Maki and Kurosawa were charmed by him. With each episode he grew on me. He was braver and kinder than I thought he would be. He did try his best in the end. He also had less fears and apprehensiveness about his relationship with a man when he decided to commit to his relationship with Maki. I decided I liked him in the end even if sometimes I found him incredibly annoying.

▪️Maki was my favorite character at the beginning. I liked him quickly and I'm always very indulgent towards people I like. I mean I like him despite his atrocious hairstyle (a crime against humanity) and clothes (I couldn't believe other characters thought he was very tasteful). I was a bit disappointed when he decided to break up with Haruta because he felt like despite his love or because of his love, he knew better. I hate when gown ups can't communicate properly especially when they are in a romantic relationship. I don't mind a little drama but Maki was introduced to us as a responsible character. I understand he has some flaws and the series doesn't shy from it but I expected more from him.

▪️ Kurosawa was the character I was ready to not like at all. The age gap is not my favorite trope but it was his higher position in the company that made me uncomfortable. I don't like the boss-employee trope. I always feel like the balance of power is not fair. Luckily, the series doesn't truly dwell on it. Kurosawa was really a comic relief and he was sillier than Haruta who was already too much. His love from Haruta is the beginning of everything that eventually happens. He tried his best to woo Haruta and be there for him but in the end knew it wasn't meant to be. I felt some empathy for him.

▪️I also really liked his wife. She was devastated when she learned about her husband and it wasn't easy for her to learn that he wanted to divorce because he loves a man but in the end she was very understanding and even tried to help him. I also liked her relationship with Kuribayashi.

▪️I had some trouble when it came to Chizu. I thought she would stay the voice of reason to Haruta but then we learnt she also liked him and never found a way to tell him. I hate when the childhood friend has a secret one-sided love for their friend. I don't understand how it's possible. A friend is a friend. Friendship is not a tool to get a love relationship. You can be friends with your lover. I just don't see how you can still love your friend and never tell them you love them especially if it's a friend you've known since you were a child. I may be too harsh. I don't know.

▪️There are many other characters but I won't talk about them because they are less important in the series.

To conclude, I would say I've liked Ossan's Love. I'm not sure I would rewatch it but I will definitely watch the sequel if I can and the Thai Version if we can have it outside of Thailand. It's not in my favorite Japanese BL list but it deserves to be seen. Now, what can I watch?

shout out to when i told my dad about goncharov and he figured out it was fake because i told him "1973 martin scorsese film with robert de niro" and he said that wasn't possible because the godfather came out in 1972 and the godfather part II came out in 1974 and they wouldn't have had time to make a movie in between. a perfectly good jest, foiled by this man's weird and vast knowledge set

#edit i remembered this incorrectly #i confused robert de niro with al pacino he was actually what tipped my dad off #i'll be honest i've never seen the godfather? the only mafia movies i've watched are goodfellas and 1996 lesbian masterpiece bound #so i'm not really familiar with the genre lol #EDIT AGAIN IF ANYONE CARES: I HAVE SEEN GODFATHER PART I AND II NOW. I KNOW HOW WRONG I WAS. WHY DID THIS GO UP 500 NOTES IT'S BEEN MONTHS #goncharov #goncharov 1973 #eddie genius posting

gotta say I am a huge sucker for how Adventure Time will sometimes just cut to Princess Bubblegum doing something extremely morally dubious like cutting off a tiny person’s limbs with scissors and then sticking those arms and legs onto another tiny person’s limb stumps but then she'll turn around and go like "Good morning, Finn! Are you ready for a sploinking day?" and whatever atrocities she had just been committing will Never be brought up again.

#whenever I watched parts of this show when I was younger marceline was my fav character but now that im actually going through the whole #thing for the first time it is So easily bubblegum #she is a war criminal she is a lesbian she is Never Going to Die #WHAT a character #the fucken worst. everyone hates her at some point in time and its deserved. she has no idea what good and bad are and I Love her #adventure time #princess bubblegum #bonnibel bubblegum #smokey speaks #500 #1k #10k #20k

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

#watching ppl go from being like ''support neurodivergent ppl~~!" #to being like ''if this is going to give u a panic attack ur fuckken stupid'' #like..... gets me #yeah man. i know im going to be triggered by it . in the old fashioned term. it is GOING to give me a panic attack. it's pretty much certai #and i shouldn't have to tell u about what i have survived for you to be okay with that. #you can just trust that i ALSO don't want me to react to it. i'm not gonna be having a FUN time. #dismissing that bc you think it's stupid.... like is the whole problem. #these sounds are workshopped by entire teams of people to get you to pay attention and move quickly. #they arent meant to be fun and exciting. #OBVIOUSLY it's gonna set ppl off. #but yeah there's something so fuckken demeaning about ppl being like. well that trigger isn't valid bc u haven't undergone X #dude i have ptsd bc i was abused as a child. like plain and simple. the fact im 30 and afraid of the dark tells you how bad it was. #i shouldn't have to ask u for permission to be mentally ill. #the reason it's a fucking disorder and not a fucking choice is that I DO NOT CONTROL IT. #like how is it any different from when ppl are like ''oh public speaking isn't that scary'' like FOR YOU #for YOU this isn't scary. now if i could fucking eat my own amygdala...

We were so close to smoking not being cool anymore. We were so close. Then they flavored it mango and now it's taboo to criticize it anymore. People don't ask if they're allowed to vape indoors, they aren't considerate of people who may have health problems that are triggered by the chemicals or if it just bothers them, people don't care that they're supporting an industry built on corruption and greed, they can't see it draining their pockets and much less their health. We were so close to smoking not being cool anymore.

#i hate hate HATE nicotine after watching my parents smoke when i grew up #its gross and bad for your money and bad for your health #and i get it. theres SO MANY socioeconomic factors that make it a complicated issue. #you CANT blame smokers. #but it feels like people are just accepting the institution for what it is bc now it tastes good #bitch just chew gum jfc #it doesn't matter if its an industry issue. we have seen in the past that making it “uncool” hurts the industry #make nicotine uncool again PLEASE #grumbles

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.
