Episode 1 of The Sign had everything.

(EP25) Getting hot and bothered after an attempted double homicide sure is a way to cope with the trauma 😭

(EP24) Princess Shaoning is so??? I get it’s hard for her to grieve especially for her brother whom she loved and trusted but organizing a murder-suicide after finding out he was a treasonous war criminal mass murderer ??? Girl bffr. I already know she’s finna die and kill a whole bunch of innocent people over this bullshit plan. What a shame

Can we talk about the anime Romantic Killer i mean Anzu because for me she give such an aroace vibes and for me she is headcanon aroace. The only things she loves is Chocolate, Games, her cat, her Friends and her family. Maybe in the manga she come together with one of the guys that was in love with her but i don't care and i hope that she is aroace. She also never show any interest in romance and sex.

I heard that there are concerns about the show but having finished it, I think it subverts expectations actually?? You think it's going to be a show that, through magic and shenanigans, she'll develop romantic feelings for a boy by the end. But the show is about found family? Wholesome and supportive relationships? And calls out the coercion often? Anzu never forgets her situation and constantly tries to stop it. Meanwhile, she develops friendships with these boys and see them for the humans that they are--not as romantic potential partners. At the same time, the show also shows that "forced" situations aren't helpful and often it is the genuine moments that build true connection and interest.

I do love that BLs are starting to give us more GL side couples, I do. But it is kind of disappointing when most of the time, those relationships are established before the start of the show. The whole reason i watch romances is to see people fall in love. So the GL couples in, say, SCOY, Wedding Plan, and Only Friends fall much flatter to me than InkPa’s 8-second romance, simply because we don’t get to see them fall in love, we’re just told they are in love. The affection and cute moments are cute, sure, but the payoff means nothing without the buildup to make it worth it, at least for me. Other BL side couples have getting-together arcs! Why are the GL couples not worth investing narrative time into?

Isekai where girls end up tragically dying early and then wake up alive as a character in their favorite piece of media are so so fun to me for the off the wall romantic situations and adjusting to the new world that usually results but I also think this genre subtly ends up writing a love letter to comfort medias. Sure the real world was hard and tragic for you- but you had this story to comfort you to the point that even after your life has ended the story you love so much is the one to welcome you with open arms and give you a second chance. The story you loved loves you back enough to take you in and change its own plot for the sake of your happiness and I think it's such an interesting testament to the power of stories <3

I started watching Ooku: The Inner Chambers on Netflix. The premise of the story is quite interesting: how might Edo era Japanese society look if the population of men was decimated by plague? The first minutes detail some of the changes: only rich women can take a husband, women take over positions held by men including at the highest levels of government, men are seen as seed stock, etc.

I was quite fascinated by the gender dynamics introduced in the pilot episode. Yoshimune (the new shogun) begins to wonder why she has to take a man’s name in order to be respected. And despite this new society becoming matriarchal (where women should hold considerable power), the social construct of a woman’s virginity remains. A major tension in the first episode is that the male concubine who will “take” the shogun’s virginity must be slain after because he has “wounded” her pure body. (I won’t say how this is resolved to avoid spoilers…) At the end of the episode, Yoshimune seeks out the castle archivist who has maintained records of how the Ooku (the harem) came into being so she can resolve some of her own questions and presumably start reforming the Ooku system.

no wonder when i saw the teaser for playboyy i straight away got the "yeah she looks like only friends' older uncensored sister" vibes bc both shows have the same scriptwriter and acting coach working on them! this is so good! it gives me hope that playboyy is really REALLY going to absolutely go for the jugular and just ... yeah ... go for it. and it might not be to everyone's taste and liking (the themes and topics are VERY heavy: sex-trade, pornography and sexual content creation and sexual violence in the thai queer community), but its really something thats going to open up a lot of discussion and debate and get eyes and ears and attention drawn to it!
