Navigation Post
I've been getting more asks lately, so thought I should go ahead and put up a quick navigation post for my blog. A few things:
This blog is where I talk about Asian dramas. I don't really use it for other media, current events, personal stuff, or general interests. I filter a lot of that off my dash. Tumblr is my fandom happy space.
I watch a LOT of Asian dramas of all different types, and I'm usually working through an endless backlog of completed dramas along with some live watches of currently airing shows. My posts tend to have a heavy focus on queer Asian media, especially for live watching, but I watch everything.
I write a lot of meta, and because I am primarily interested in analyzing narrative storytelling, it is often critical even of shows I like. I tend to focus on writing more than other aspects of production, because that's what I'm most interested in.
I also love to recommend shows because sharing media with others I think will like it is one of my great joys in life.
This blog is mostly a lot of reblogged gifs and meta about shows I have watched. My original posts are tagged #shan shouts into the void but unfortunately I shout an awful lot so it won't be much use for sorting. You can search my blog by show tag or let me know if you're looking for commentary on something specific.
You can drop by to chat about a drama with me or ask for recommendations anytime; it is never a bother. If you're asking for a rec post, the more specific you are about what you want, the better your list will be.
Here’s how I approach discourse and tumblr etiquette, with warnings for what will get you blocked.
Don't bother sending me hate anons when I criticize your favorite show, I will just roll my eyes and delete. Go touch grass instead!

Update late 2025: my other life obligations have taken precedence and I am increasingly less active on this blog (and watching a lot less). I’m around but not posting much. I still respond to messages so drop in if you ever want to chat. :)
