Estoy cayéndome a pedazos por tu ausencia y lo peor es que no quiero verte nunca.

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

The Tomarry Fic Rec Post That No One Asked For

 You are all welcome, by the way.

BYR: Some fics contain questionable and just wtf material. I try to mark down warnings as best as I can, but for longer stories, I have forgotten exact details. Please heed whatever warnings I did remember and if you have further questions about specific stories, please feel free to ask. Especially since some stories often have circumstances surrounding a certain material that could use more clarification than a warning phrase.

Some shoujo animes that I’ve watched because I really like watching girly shows. I’ve probably watched more but at the top my head these are some of the good ones worth watching.

Plus anything by Ai Yazawa is a gem! I really wish I can own a physical copy of some of her works.

1. Nana

2. Princess Jellyfish

3. Ao Haru Ride

4. Paradise Kiss

5. Neighborhood Story

6. Kimi ni Todoke

7. After the Rain

8. Zombieland Saga

9. Wonder Egg Priority

*Not in the pic: Tora Dora, My Little Monster, Orange

**some of these are considered a josei too.

shoujo - for younger female audience

josei - for a more mature/older female audience

dios, tu mejor guerrera necesita pesar 40 kilos

[mercuryfountain-deactivated2024]

Twitter users are defending their right to assume Picasso was a renaissance artist. Tiktok users think watching any film made outside the US makes you a snob. “Replace classic lit with YA and fan fiction” discourse is flourishing. I think we’re just living in anti intellectual times.

[yyyyddmmsupremacy-deactivated20]

it's not anti-intellectualism it's anti-snobbery

[mercuryfountain-deactivated2024]

Let me ask you this: how many “snobs” have you actually met? Because I have met many people who take interest in art history, watch vintage film or films from films from outside the US (which by the way are not all “arthouse” films), or read and cherish historically and culturally significant literature. But I have never met anyone who will treat me like I’m a bad person for watching Mama Mia or just wanting to be entertained once in a while. I have, however, met people who think art history is stupid and pointless and that those who study it deserve to live in poverty, who are xenophobic and dismissive toward any art made outside the US (or western Europe for that matter), or roll their eyes at people who read literature they consider boring because they’ve never given it a try. In fact, most of the people I know who you would consider “snobs” out of projected insecurity are cautious to bring up their interests because they think they’ll be made fun of. Is anti intellectualism “anti elitist?” At times, but it’s the sort of pseudo populism that fits comfortably within contemporary right wing discourse. Have you paid any attention to politics the last decade or so? If you are allergic to culture and new information, fine. Just don’t claim the moral high ground for it.

[saintofbloodbanks]

[I.D. Two drawings of Garfield. The first is sitting down like a normal cat, as he used to be portrayed in the comics. The second, he is standing on two legs like a human and points to himself with a red glint in his eye. Text above and below reads “Become Bipedal.” End I.D.]

Currently airing Asian dramas/shows I’m watching:

Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life (SK)

9/10

Firstly, tigger warning for a storyline including suicide. This drama is about 3 very different families and how they become intwined in several ways over the years. This drama can be sad, really sad, but it also has some very sweet brilliant moments too. The character development is also some of the best I’ve seen in a while. And there are 2 characters who have amazing chemistry that I just need to get together already! (ep 32/100)

Failing in Love (SK)

8.5/10

This one is just hilarious and has a surprising amount of heart too. This drama is about a boy who desperately wants a girlfriend and his bestfriend who is in love with him. It may sound like classic highschool drama but the interesting group of friends make it so much more than that. It’s shorter too so you can get through the episodes quickly! (ep 7/10)

The Tale of Nokdu (SK)

9.5/10

This was my most anticipated drama in a long time and it’s really not disappointed! This show started off about Nokdu, a man who goes into hiding in a town full of widows, as a woman. The cuteness this show began with didn’t prepare me for how emotional it would get. Also Nokdu and Dong Joo’s chemistry has just grown and grown and they make me squeal! All the characters are so well rounded too! I love it (ep 22/32)

Off Gun Fun Night Season 2 (Thai)

8.5/10

I love this show with all my heart! It’s very sweet and a lot of fun. It’s not a drama it’s more of a talk show/sleepover hybrid. The hosts are Off and Gun who were the stars of the dramas ‘Puppy Honey’ and ‘Theory of Love’. And the premise of the show is that they invite their friends and fellow actors around to play silly games in their PJ’s. If you’ve seen any gmmtv dramas you’ll especially enjoy this. (ep 8/?)

Dark Blue Kiss (Thai)

8/10

Pete and Kao were side characters in ‘Kiss: The Series’ and ‘Kiss Me Again’ which were some of the first Thai dramas I ever watched. I was very excited for them to finally get their own drama. But their storyline in DBK is all about jealousy and I’m not a fan of jealousy storylines, but these two actors know these characters so well now that regardless of that I find myself really enjoying every one of their scenes. And on top of that the side couple have some insane chemistry. (ep 7/12)

TharnType The Series (Thai)

9/10

What began as an incredibly controversial drama I was considering dropping, now 7 episodes later I’m it’s biggest fan. It’s about two college roommates, one gay and the other homophobic. Seeing these two characters start off as enemies and both grow and change each other for the better has been such a beautiful experience and I can’t wait to see what’s to come! (7/12)

HIStory3: Make Our Days Count (Taiwanese)

10/10

This is a continuation of the HiStory anthology series. This time it’s about Hao Ting who is an idiot (but also not an idiot) who loves with his whole heart and Xi Gu, the smartest guy in school who’s extremely closed off after losing his parents. Seeing Hao Ting try to get Xi Gu to like him back has been too sweet to handle and these 2 are making this possibly my favourite HiStory series (sorry CTL) - the second couple are a bit meh but Hao Tings friends make up for that. (ep 12/20)

Finished Asian dramas I’m watching:

Extraordinary You (SK)

10/10

I love this drama too much, which is why I have been really taking my time with it. This drama is about Dan Oh who finds out her life is a manhwa (comic) and she is just an extra. This drama has been too perfect for words! Dan Oh is one of my favourite leads ever and her and Haru are also on my list of favourite OTPs too. As I said this is a perfect drama to me...so far. (ep 12/32)

Love Affairs in the Afternoon (SK)

9.5/10

Another brilliant drama! It’s about married couples who find themselves entering into affairs. This drama can be summed up in one word: POETRY! It’s shot stunningly, the script is magic and the actors are so real! Guys trust me, watch this for the main couple, I’ve never seen a pair so made for each other and who need each other so much. As I said pure POETRY! (ep 15/16)

Dramas/movies I’ve finished this month:

Dear My Name (SK)

8/10

This is just a mini series but I NEED it to be remade as a full length drama. The premise is that a large percentage of the population at some point will have someone else’s name appear on their body (like a tattoo) and that person will be your soulmate. It’s a brilliant idea and was executed really well, I just wish there had been more time. (6 eps)

One Fine Week (SK)

8/10

Another mini series, but this one is about an idol and a girl who works in a coffee shop who look identical. The idol has trouble showing her emotions, which is going to be an issue on a reality show where she’s meant to fall in love with a fellow idol, so the two girls swap places. This may be a premise we’ve heard of before but it was executed really well and felt new and different. (10 eps)

Parasite (SK)

10/10

So I can’t really say anything about this movie. It’s basically about a boy from a poorer family who starts tutoring the eldest daughter of rich family. This movie is insane and by far my favourite of the year.

Tune in for Love (SK)

9/10

Another movie, but more romantic. This is the story of a boy and girl who keep meeting and falling in love but constantly keep getting torn apart. This one put me through the emotional ringer. I now love these 2 actors and although they’re really famous this is the first thing I’ve seen them in and I can’t wait to see their other projects now.
