#idk what this means or if i do this but ig i'll just hold my phone with my pinky stuck out from now on??
Good question, also no that won’t help.
shitty MS Paint 3 minutes doodle, nto entirely accurate: When you have your pinky hooked on the “bottom” edge of the phone for the extra security so it doesn’t slide out of your hand that easily, you’re wreaking damage on your hand, since the pinky is extremely askew from it’s resting position. You might have noticed that when you hold your phone like that for long time it begins to hurt, like when you are gripping a pen too tightly for example.
Green lines - the fingers are going their natural way. Red line - the pinky is way off, that’s bad.
um so quick question you do know that the world isn’t divided into People Blindly Accepting Of Gender Roles and Smart Trans Ppl. the world isn’t divided into People In Romantic Relationships and Single Aros. the world isn’t divided into People Who Socialize Easily and Oppressed Autistics. the world isn’t divided into Enlightened Queer People and Stupid Misogynists. like you are aware of this ? i hope you are aware of this
bro this is crazy i only knew of ollie as that pretty neat teenager from asia super young who seemed to do well and then a couple years later suddenly he crashes back into my pop culture consciousness doing Very Interesting bl. wtf
somewhere out there is information on when these streetlamps were erected and who put them up, it’s just not information available to me. and i don’t like that. i should know everything forever.
to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube
they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!
i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies
Also just a handy, DIY air filter in general, if a bit bulky. For a less bulky and cheaper (but also less effective) solution, you can simply tape one filter to the fan, cut a shroud if you'd like.
just FYI, this is quite literally what the climate scientists at my work who specialized in wildfire smoke impacts recommend. it works great, it's cheap to make, and it will make a noticeable impact on your air quality.
i have asthma & keep one of these running in my room perpetually. after I set it up the difference in my sleep quality was pretty much night and day. Dont waste your time on proprietary air filters; SIMPLY bust out the duct tape
This is about aspects that are intrinsic to the drama. So, not "for escapism" and other reasons that are related to your life.
FAQ: "Where's the nuance button?"
A: There's no nuance / combination button. You have to choose ONE. :[ [*]
We pretty much know how it is on MyDramaList, but how is it on Tumblr?
Which is the primary reason you watch CDramas?
The romance / character relationship (includes bro/sismance, friendship, etc.)
I mostly just watch dramas that have my fav. actor/actress
The visuals (excludes the previous two)
The plot (excludes romantic or -ship plot)
[Results button / I don't watch cdramas]
Remaining time: 1 day 7 hours
[*] If you're nuance/combination, pick the most common one, or the most compelling for you, or the one you'd keep if you just HAD to lose the other.
If, on the other hand, you have a different individual reason that is not combination/nuance, and that is intrinsic to the drama, then choose the Results button and add it in a reblog or a comment.

I finally got around to watching Balloon's Landing today and it was very good! Thank you for recommending it so many times.
I wish I could word it better, but I can at least say that this story is going to stay with me for a long while. Music, settings, costumes and of course the actors doing an excellent job.
hello!!! i'm so sorry for the late response 😭😭 VERY glad you enjoyed it tho!! 🫶🏼
"Do You See This Shit Edward Said??" is a banger phrase and now a permanent part of my lexicon. wish it wasn't so widely applicable in response to things on the internet
It's been a while since I last made a rec post, and it's been a slower year for hard-hitting Hong Kong cinema, but hello! I'm back and I have a film to talk about:
我們不是什麼 | We're Nothing At All (2026)
“當雪崩的時候，沒有一片雪花是無辜的。”
"In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent."
We're Nothing At All is the latest film from director Herman Yau, a self-funded crime thriller starring Patrick Tam, Anson Kong, and Ansonbean. Loosely inspired by real historical events, the film kicks off when retired forensic investigator Lung-sir (Patrick Tam) is called back into the field to solve the mystery of a double decker bus explosion, which took place on the morning of Valentine's Day and killed everyone on board. As the investigation and plot unfolds, it is eventually revealed that the explosion was a murder-suicide, carried out by a young gay couple named Faizai (Anson Kong) and Ike (Ansonbean) who could see no other end to the ostracization they faced in society. We, the audience, know how this story will end from the beginning. It is important that this story is witnessed anyways.
We're Nothing At All is a sharp, focused snapshot on the widespread homophobia that still remains normalized in Hong Kong, as well as its intersections with class background, cultural gender norms, and sex work, which all affect how different individuals experience queerness. There were a couple narrative twists in directions I didn't expect this film to go, and despite the heavy, suffocating feeling it leaves you with, I found it refreshing that a director and creative team were willing to explore these themes so clearly in 2026. Some reviews call this movie too heavy-handed. In my opinion, given the discussions I saw in Hong Kong surrounding this movie, the thematic bluntness is necessary.
Aside from the plot and pacing being mostly well done, the film's acting and production are commendable. All three leads do a fantastic job, and kudos to the two Ansons for taking on their characters with this much determination (this movie was an acting breakthrough for both of them, as most of their roles before this had been idol-drama type projects). Patrick Tam is semi-unrecognizable as Lung-sir, and I sincerely hope he and Anson Kong will receive some kind of recognition in the upcoming awards season. All the supporting cast members also fit into their roles well. Shoutout to Thor Lok as Andrew, a character who was without a doubt the scene-stealer of this film.
The cinematography looks great considering the extremely tight production schedule this film had— there's a rougher quality to it in some areas, but in a sort of charming, gritty way. The soundtrack is absolutely beautiful, and I still can't get it out of my head after seeing the movie twice in theatres. I think regardless of if this movie turns out to be for you or not, it is still worth watching, and worth discussing.
We're Nothing At All is currently winding down its theatrical release in Hong Kong, and has already gone through limited theatrical releases in the UK and Canada. However, it is making its way through film festivals around the world (its latest premiere was at Taipei Film Festival and it will be screening at the upcoming Fantasia Festival in Canada), and hopefully there will be future releases in other countries. If what I've said intrigues you, here are a couple trailers below, and as always, please let me know if I've ever convinced you to watch a film!
