Watched - 2026

January

Kimetsu no Yaiba: Infinity Castle (2025) (🐐)

A Chinese Odyssey Part One: Pandora's Box (1995)

A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella (1995) (liked this a bit more than the first one)

Pluribus (still watching 🥀)

February

Single's Inferno s5 (2026): wtf? 😭🙏 me watching a dating show?

Hereditary (2018?): it's great but I'm not gonna watch it again 😭

Sinners (2025): ...i expected more but okay ig. Visually stunning tho

March

How to get to heaven from Belfast (2026): so goood bring season 2 here NOW

The Immortal Man (2026): huh?

Chainsaw Man: nope 🖕😭

April

Life beyond the grave (2026): pretty good so far, female lead's costumes are wack tho. Shame... The chemistry was surprisingly good tho, didn't expect that.

Viel of Shadows (2026): main cast's acting is diabolical 🥀 damn, this drama is like hoa dâm bụt, hữu sắc vô hương af 😶 visually it can be considered stunning for the first few episodes then it gets cliché and overly done without serving much narrative purposes, just pretty for the sake of it and i hate that 😶 ugh (in my C-drama era again...) (thoughts after finale: oh it sucksssssss. Moẹ cái phim xàm lìn này, tiếng Anh không đủ để bộc lộ sự bức xúc sau khi phí cả ngày cuối tuần để cày nó. Đm dở ác...)

May (in my C-dramas era AGAIN)

Thousand years for you (2022?): okay wth was that ending 🫪??? me loving Li Qin and having to watch her non-HE dramas (up until now... Feeling like "Fated Hearts" will finally be my first Li Qin HE drama). Loved one particular scene so much because she looked sooooo ethereal in that one. Such a classic beauty 😭 i know Cbiz has all these rules and standards about actors' career path but i so hope LQ continues to star in as many costume dramas as she can, while she can. That cool and elegant aura is hard to find, especially in younger generations of 小花 😭 ilysm 李沁😭🙏)

The boy and the heron (2023): well, typical Ghibli movie ig? Didn't leave that much impression but still an enjoyable watch. My brain was not brain during this movie so i might not have understood it as fully as i should?

The Little Monsters of Langlang Mountain (2025): most touching movie I've watched this year so far. Literally laughed my ass out then cried at the end. Such a beautiful story, loved the ending quote so much since i needed it...

the unintentional comedy in andy kidnapping nile and just. beating the hell out of her to bond, chugging half a bottle of vodka, pretending to kill a man just to fuck with her, and just generally being chaotic.. and then being like ‘i lead a group of immortals. there’s four of us’ and then she takes nile home to meet the other three and its just

tender italian dude who home cooks the team meals

the most romantic artist-poet you’ve literally ever met

soft depressed dad man

chilling in this DOMESTIC AS FUCK beautiful cozy abandoned church. like. WHATEVER it was nile was imagining of the boys… it probably wasnt That

[andromacheofappalachia]

What makes it even better is Andy looks SO proud standing there with Nile. Like ‘look who I found!’ meanwhile Nile is mentally wondering if they’re secretly bad guys.

[pillowfriends]

Sarah also dropped some insane info about Rand's relationships - the plan was to only have Rand/Elayne and Elayne/Avi, with Rand and Min being close friends. I don't even know how to reconcile this with my view of s3 where I thought Rand and Aviendha had great tension... and I guess this is one way to solve the Min problem but I really wasn't expecting it. honestly this would have probably caused a lot of drama and discourse in the fandom, but I still would have liked to see how it played out both in the story and in the fandom 🫥 and honestly there's no way to preserve any of that without creating discourse so they may as well try something new. Rand and Avi being metamours... I'm spinning it around in my head, I don't know how I feel about it yet. curious to hear other thoughts 👀

[clearancecreedwatersurvival]

Okay how on earth does that work with min’s vision in s1 which is the same as the books. Who are the three hot ladies in his life? Elayne, Egwene, and Lanfear??

Or wait. Wait wait wait. What if this is more evidence they were gonna give rand a boyfriend or two.

Honestly I’m sad they apparently weren’t planning on avirand since I thought avirand was set up really well, and tbh. that kind of diminishes aviendha’s role in the story a bit?? But if they were gonna give rand some different love interests to make up for taking away avirand and minrand, then maybe. Or my long shot belief that min was gonna end up in a messy throuple with mat as her metamour and tuon as their hinge..

Tbh though, idk how I feel about taking the two Butch women in rand’s polycule and only pairing one of them off with a woman. My boy deserves to get topped by two masc bi queens I am just saying.

[pillowfriends]

to your last point, extra questionable that Rand only gets with the white femme love interest and not the two less feminine people of color. a boyfriend would have been nice though. as I said in my last post, we were apparently getting Asmodean so maaaaybe they were going to do something with that. I don't remember the specifics of Min's show vision tbh so I'm not sure how much room for interpretation there was

[vancouver-lord-goldeneyes]

Min in the show just says "rainbows and carnivals and three beautiful women" so I'm assuming that would have been Egwene, Lanfear, and Elayne as his three main love interests

[clearancecreedwatersurvival]

Hmm. Interesting choice. I wonder what that would have looked like long term. Would Egwene ever actually get with gawyn? Would Lanfear continue to be more entangled in his plot in the later planned seasons? And most importantly, WOULD they have let Josha kiss some men????

[1121-redblack-chrome]

So when I first moved to the city, i used to wander the streets in my free time. And once at an intersection i saw this biggg Bodhi Tree from across the road. (Not the one pictured btw)

It was golden hour, and windy, and the tree, with its leaves reflecting off the sunlight while the wind was blowing, looked like it had a thousand glowing hands happily waving at me. It was such a sight, so beautiful that i still remembered it vividly after years living here. I in fact do think about that tree every once in a while and even considered planting one at our family home.

Today, on my way back from some errands, i once again saw that tree, over 6 years after that first time. And you know what the crazy thing is? It's actually on the street I've been living on for TWO FUCKING YEARS. And it's not even in an area I rarely go to, it's literally the intersection i have to pass on my way home from work every damn day 😭🙏 and i just realised all that TODAY. Well, to be fair, my work ends at night so of course i never get to see those happy leaves waving at me, but still, two years???

Honestly this says a lot about my memory, sense of direction and many other stuff. Probably should remove "Attention to detail" from my CV, too 🤡

The Wheel of Time commission for @dykemaedhros

[leechingvorta]

ohhhhh

the darkness where Baalzamon and the other Forsaken hold meetings is the (or probably more accurately a) Skimming realm, which itself must be part of the network of dream-related realms which Tel'aran'rhiod itself is part of, alongside the dark space with no physicality where dreamers can find others' dreams. this is why their rooms are only shaped by someone who exists there, it's why everyone who Skims has to make their own platform, it's why its space is a compacted reflection of the primary world, it's why travelling with a platform is just a question of willing the destination, it's why there's concentration involved and it's nothing to do with the Power - it's just that there's nothing else, unlike in some normal dream realms. it's why i think this in some way also explains why channelers feel that gateways have only one end and not two, but i've not figured this one out fully yet. also a funny thing is this might mean that those who fall in the darkness could potentially survive if they will it, since even if the realm is created from will, it presumably cannot dissipate until it is no longer needed - channeling is only needed to create gateways to and from it

"The One Power had little to do with gateways, really; only the making. Beyond, was something else. A dream of a dream, Asmodean called it."

"Rand moved to the far side of the platform from the gateway. There was no need to see where he was going, really, but he wanted to. In truth, he could have remained at the other end, or gone to one side; direction here was mutable; whatever way he chose to move would take him to Caemlyn if done properly."

i know everytime i come to my favourite phở spot, they don't see a regular approaching, they see a cow.

actually a man was trying not to stare at my bowl while i was putting all these greens on it. #gutscare 🤡 there's a lot of beef under them herbs tho

(wanted to try out a new bánh xèo place but i was too hungry to gamble, would've been so pissed off if it wasn't good 🥀)

[wertfi-penguin]

Is wheel of time good? What's it about? (Sorry I saw you post about it and I'm curious if its worth a watch)

It is very majorly incredibly good! It’s easily the best fantasy series to come out in recent years, which is no surprise when the books they are based on are a cornerstone of modern fantasy.

It’s a show for anyone who likes dazzling visuals, intimately soulful music, haute couture costuming, and a story that actually engages with ✨complicated themes✨ and ✨morality deeper than a puddle✨

It’s a fantasy show that feels unashamed to be fantastical!

Despite impossible hurdles at every turn, like the ever-looming studio meddlers eating entertainment alive, a justified yet damaging industry strike, and even losing a main actor to the covid pandemic, passion and artistry is evident in every frame. A testament to the showrunner and team’s dedication to bring one of the most ambitious and sprawling works of fiction in existence to the screen.

Its cast is packed with vibrant and complex characters, all brought to life by stellar performances. They drag you kicking and screaming into feeling every blow our heroes suffer, yet empathy for the terrible people dealing those blows as well.

As for the diversity; consider the greatest compliment this series ever received, from a would-be critic at that:

“This show is nothing but women with strong jawlines having emotions at each other.”

— Someone attempting to decry the series as “woke trash”

The series details humanity’s struggle against an eldritch creature knows as “the Dark One”. An elemental force of entropy and malice, who wants to destroy the world and the titular “wheel of time”, a millennia-spanning time loop encompassing all of human existence; past and future.

Fated to be at the center of this struggle is the Dragon Reborn, a figure of legend, forebodingly prophesied to break the world and tear the nations of man asunder.

They are the reincarnated soul of the man who, three thousand years past, rent the face of the earth. He who brought humanity to the brink of extinction, and dealt world a wound so grave it bleeds still. He who doomed all men touched by Saidin to madness and death.

Now the Dragon must once again contend with the dread and despair of opposing the Dark One, and the shadow’s disciples hiding in every crowd…

Thinking about WoT show again and to not get to see Natasha O'Keefe's Lanfear again is a tragedy especially cause she elevated a character I didn't think much of when first reading the books to the point that I actually find myself enjoying Lanfear and Randfear scenes on rereads. And I was genuinely looking forward to see what other layers of fucked up Randfear would get post s3 now that Rand was able to finally see her for who she truly is

[ofthebrownajah]

Mourning we'll never get a show version of "If you are not mine, then you are dead." cause after s3, I was convinced we were headed there.

Rand and Lanfear's final scene together being her wearing essentially a wedding dress? Finally seeing her in all her unhinged glory and directing her rage against Rand for the first time? Was truly excited for a version of the Docks that had more oomph to it cause of the animosity built up between Mo and Lanfear too.

Something I really appreciated about how Lanfear was adapted was how she wasn't just the crazy ex girlfriend as Jordan often reduced her to. The show took the opportunity to expand on all of her more interesting qualities as a genius magical physicist who flew too close to the sun in her quest for power, made her an expert manipulator as book Lanfear sucks at it.

"Think of the glory, Rand." is such a joke cause that's something that would never work on Rand. Rand doesn't want glory, he doesn't want power, he just wants to go home and to protect his friends from himself and his encroaching madness that he knows is unavoidable as a male channeler.

Show Lanfear preys on all of it which is why she's able to fuck Rand up emotionally so effectively.

Instead of the book "I'm a damsel in distress, oh save me from these monsters."

We have "I'm the only one who can save you from yourself."
