unhinged but in a cute way

I really do think the fandom underestimate Xie Lian's own values and kindness while kinda overestimating the kindness the guy who gave him the Bamboo hat in the scene in the rain.

Don't get me wrong, the Bamboo hat is important and the fact that someone went to help him is also important. But it's just the excuse. Xie Lian decided by himself to lie in the rain and gave humanity another chance first. He was trying to convince himself that he didn't believe in the kindness of people anymore while still giving them another chance. He was probably going to lie in the rain until someone, anyone gave him that kindness anyway.

The Bamboo hat is the excuse as to why Xie Lian didn't turn into Jun Wu, but the actual reason is that Xie Lian had the strength to stand in the rain and wait for someone to show him he was right. A thing Jun Wu never did.

I think my favorite moment this week (ep 3) in I Hear the Sunspot was Kohei speaking up for himself and telling Taichi he needed to repeat himself. I recently reread the manga, and there's a scene here or there where Taichi says something vulnerable, Kohei doesn't hear him, and Taichi just says never mind because he's embarrassed and they move on. I love that this adaptation decided to make this change/addition.

The vulnerable confession that isn't heard is absolutely a staple romance trope, but it doesn't work the same in a Deaf/HOH context. Because it's one of so many times living in a hearing world that Kohei will be told "never mind" aka it's not worth the effort or discomfort of including you.

I just really like that the show took the extra few moments to make this change and tackle the trope head on.

I love this scene so much. that clear communication of feelings. the instant understanding and resolution from Taichi. it's so easy and comfortable

[heyhua]

no but the fact that when Miho mentioned that the boy she really likes is Kohei and not Taichi, there was no jealousy, no feeling of resentment nor any competition in Taichi. He was slightly disappointed but that was it.

He was absolutely fine with it until he saw Miho pitying Kohei and projecting her fantasies onto him. That's where his anger came out. That's what got him mad.

It's such a small thing and may seem trivial as Taichi standing up for his friend (which he is) but this really shows why the two fit together perfectly. 

Kohei clearly doesn't want anybody to 'save him' nor does he want to be treated differently. He wants a normal life and not be defined by his disability and Taichi does exactly that. Taichi doesn't try to save him nor does he pity Kohei. He sees him much more than just his disability.

do you see it? do you see how he makes him smile?

[heyhua]

it's you! it's you! you are making him smile, taichi! aaaaaaaaaaaah

"I hope the world would stand still, so missing you wouldn't be a luxury."

A friend recently asked me if I had any favourite lyrics and this line came to mind.

This is one of my most favourite scenes of all time. It’s so heartbreaking but I remember smiling through my tears at its beauty while watching it.

Both Jia-han and Birdy knew this call meant goodbye even though they weren’t ready to let go. It’s devastating but they know they can’t be together. All they have left are memories and the only forever they can wish for is in those moments they spent together.

What a tragic way of saying I don't want to live in this world where you don't exist so let it stop so I can live a life where you were with me.

This has me absolutely wrecked.

it's half past midnight and because of this one split second of a moment i can't stop thinking about peem's hands grabbing phum's thighs as phum rides him with a steady rhythm. the light of the moon shining through the windows and turning phum's skin into marble.

peem has never been particularly good with sculpting. a brush or a pencil has always felt better in his hands than the sharp edges of a chisel. now, though, nails digging into hard muscles, hips rolling up to meet the tender flesh of another body, he thinks he understands the appeal. he wants to carve phum out of stone, chipping away at the hard unyielding rock until it gives in and molds into the hills and valleys of phum's ribs, the soft mounds of his chest, the peaks of his nipples, the gentle line of his neck as he throws his head back in pleasure as he whispers peem's name like a prayer.

peem, peem, peem.

beautiful, peem thinks.

There is a red thread of destiny the connects people, a red thread of fate that means no matter how far apart you are you are still connected and that red thread is woven of love.

(Light and dark and red threads bind through pain and confusion and distance.)

Kiyoi giving Hira a makeover to show off how hot his boyfriend is, and then immediately regretting it when it works is so deeply funny to me.

"Look at my man! No, not like that!"

They're so weird. I love them.

the xuan ji plotline of tgcf is so funny its like area straight man fucks up so hard he accidentally reunites two gay lovers lost to each other for almost 1000 years to fix his mess

[hashtagloveloses]

tgcf is hilarious bc the book is like "hua cheng fought his way out of the kiln for 10 years. he's a formidable warrior and that's how he became a supreme" when in reality he spent only a little bit of it fighting and the rest of it carving statues of xie lian. made a whole life for himself being an artist.
