I've been here for a looooong time but it took cdramas to get me to post anything of my own.

earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

Recipes from Portland's famous but long-closed Rheinlander restaurant. This cookbook was produced in a limited window before Chef Mager's death. All of these fucking slap.

For my fellow vegan/vegetarians, these sound scrumptious and look pretty simple to make substitutions!

It's sooo good

The lentil soup post is yeah beyond amazing. I know lentil soup doesn't seem like it could be that good. You simply don't Know how beloved the rheinlander lentil soup was. This was a famous soup here.

'Is it raining where you are? '

She has more! Here's her website. She lives in the Peak District, England.

"A little shower"

"Proper big rain, that"

She has a lot of sky paintings with good colours but I particularly enjoy her human figures:

In order: Knackered / He's knackered too / The bears are really knackered / The heterosexuals, they're bloody knackered / The lesbians are knackered too / The polyamorous... well, you would be knackered, wouldn't you?

And this was just charming:

"Enjoying a little soak"

god damn this is a QUILT ('late day shadows' by nancy messier)

THIS IS A QUILT?!?!?!?

I don't know if I have never seen such a charged scene in a drama. They're fully dressed, the servants are there, they they have a long to-do list of schemes, and he was ready to fuck her on that table and she was extremely pleased with that! Phew!

[sloonstarius]

Absolutely iconic. Put it in the Lourve. This is such a good reunion after all the agony. They’re doing things in that soul manor that dramas reposting ytube channels’ clickbait’s titles can only dream of-good for them; whoever’s sets up these otp moments are a visionary

his fingers on her face, in her hair ahhhhhh ahjdkmlsih

i love that every level of arrogance sima jiao possesses is so called for; when he was like am i a normal man im like no baby you’re not and you have have had such a terrible life because you are not and i love that he can state it so matter factly but he is also dying lmao TT TT and as much tingyan can be enamored by how cool and impressive he is during his demos of power, she fell in love because he knows how to consider her and care for her and knows to value her autonomy; everything leading up him perishing in her arms is so meticulously planned by him that his death feels such an inevitability that i cannot fault him for not answering her straight. he looked so offended lmao when she blamed herself like babygirl he looked like he would rather burn the world down for daring to disappoint you. if only they can remain like this forever but alas they cannot TT TT. with them i feel viscerally everything xianxia has ever purported: having a love so deep and intertwined that one would wait millennials for, fight against the heavens for, and tear apart soul and flesh for just for a chance to exist on the same plane of the universe across time and space.

The whiplash of going from an episode of A Splendid Match to Under the Moonlight is wild. On the one hand we have Ye Xian's never ending temper tantrum which was just silly to watch (especially after he lost two! swords) and an empty void of wasted space in the plot. My eyes are tired of rolling.

On the other hand, I'm crying over a case-of-the-week character who has only been in two episodes of UtM.
