Hils Watches Southern Archives - Ep 16

I can't believe they got hug blocked by their shifu.

Ah, right. Bringing him back from the dead wasn't enough he should have fixed his legs too. I shouldn't be surprised about the ableism and yet

Of course

I mean I would cry over tasty food too

I love that after all the knives (both metaphorical and literal) we've now got them all cheating at dice to try and win a bottle of wine

Oh no are we doing a came back wrong storyline and he's taking his trauma out on bugs?

Okay, I'm skipping over the part with the cat even though I gather he didn't kill it

I'm going to say that's probably not a good sign

[sarking]

Lemme just write this real quick to get it out of my system

Oh no it's deeper in my system

do you have any friends that are 4x your age or more?

I'd have things to say about THAT look...

[medievalraven]

10,000 woosan fics on the day that woosan launched their own youtube channel (and whatever else is going on with them idk)

[medievalraven]

honestly the worst part about being a western kpop fan is the time difference - because no one prepared me for how often i'd be barely awake and barely able to tell left from right and then be immediately hit over and over with an entire day's worth of insane updates from fansigns and new youtube channels and san's chest pumps

and then i have to go to work

[thirstkanaphan]

🐶 If Mingi and I started a channel together... don't you think it'd be really fun if it was just the two of us? Like, for example, if the two of us twin towers did YouTube together like woosan, wouldn't that be so entertaining? It already sounds funny?

Honestly, whenever I'm around Mingi, I naturally get pretty high-energy too. Anyway, if I ever get the chance to appear with him again, it'll be great. Whenever Mingi and I are together, there's kind of a built-in entertainment boost.

I'm actually pretty good at bringing out that side of Mingi. Whether it's Mingi's memes or those little iconic Mingi moments, I'm good at spotting those opportunities. And I know exactly how to tease Mingi in the most entertaining way, so I'm pretty confident about that.

I still can’t get over Yunho getting competitive with WooSan on his own live and being like MINGI AND I CAN START A YOUTUBE CHANNEL TOO AND IT’LL BE EVEN GAYER!!

Hils Watches Southern Archives - Ep 15

I'm enjoying all the little flashbacks where we see how Zhang Hailou learned all the things he's needed in the tomb in present day

I was literally just thinking it feels like he's been in there longer than the 6 hours he had at the start

I know applying logic to a DMBJ drama is a futile gesture but I'm pretty sure he's been down there longer than 20 mins and he still has to get out and get back to Zhang Haixia

I mean she could have warned him that would happen. But it's nice to see that completely destroying the ancient tomb you're raiding isn't limited to Wu Xie

Of course there is

Ooh it's Zhang family history time

Ooh hot gege (I had forgotten about him) was a well established Zhang if he had the long fingers

"The tattoos only appear when the blood gets hot." Yes, I get that, but he's dead. Pretty sure holding a flame near his skin won't warm his blood he's been dead for weeks. I know here I go trying to apply logic again.

Ooh her tattoo is pretty

Pretty sure it's in the Zhang rulebook that you can only reveal your tattoo in a dramatic way. Aww I miss Xiaoge.

And just like Captain America his superhero origin story involves getting his abs out

Aww come on are you really going to end before we get the bromantic reunion?

We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.

Screenshot via Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net on bluesky

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*

You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.

*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.

I have just learned that Mountain Goats are NOT, in fact, actual Goats.

[adurot]

I have never heard of this band. I AM in fact referring to the animal.

[adurot]

But wait, there’s more!

honestly one of my favorite things about fanfic is when you can see the canon influences come out in really subtle ways. like a canon line thats mentioned once as a throwaway is suddenly the entire premise for a fic or it influences the characterization or something. its just so cool to see how people weave their ideas around a source material, especially if its not a detail i'd thought about before

[vampirefabio]
