This is what they call "plans for the weekend", I guess.
Tag Game: Colbert Questionnaire
Thank you for the tag @ellsieee!
1. What is the best sandwich?
The variation of a sandwich they made for me at the Cafe in Etal 18 years ago. (It had cream cheese, crisps and apples) Haven't had something that good again.
But less ethereal prawn and crab mayo.
2. What’s one thing you own that you really should throw out?
The remains of the box my (hopefully soon to be replaced) PC came in 8 years ago.
3. What is the scariest animal?
Horses
4. Apples or oranges?
Apples. You get more variety and they are easier too eat.
5. Have you ever asked someone for their autograph?
No. I have asked for plenty of signatures but not an autograph.
6. What do you think happens when we die?
That remains to be seen.
7. Favourite smell
The first drops of rain of a summer thunderstorm on hot asphalt.
8. Least favourite smell
Mold
9. Favourite action movie
X-Men 3 or a Bud Spencer and Terence Hill production I suddenly cannot think of any action film
10. You get one song to listen to for the rest of your life—what is it?
"Always" - Erasure

Rebirth stories often gloss over it, so I really enjoy how clearly Armin is struggling with being send back in time in Reset.

Mountain and Chen (China, 2024 ) 04.06.26 6,5/10 A spotty story that lets a lot open .
Wishing Upon The Shooting Stars (Taiwan, 2026 ) 05.06.26 9,0/10 A beautiful journey of self acceptance
I Can’t Believe I’m Falling for Him!– The Quiet Accountant Who’s Sometimes… a Host!? Season 2 (Japan, 2026 ) 06.06.26 8,0/10 Short exploration on what is needed to keep a relationship going emphasis on the need for communication.
The Gaze (China, 2026 ) 07.06.26 8,0/10 A toxic CBL managing to reverse the power dynamic by the end. An enjoyable treat nicely made. All the typical tropes are present and alot is just left hanging.
Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami (Japan, 2026 ) 08.06.26 8,5/10 A cute little story of growth and support. Finding/experiencing love as adult. Visually interesting with very revealing sex scenes that are so unsexy they could be from sex education video. But also so intimate you feel like you are intruding. Intriguing
Life in smokey blue (Japan, 2026 ) 09.06.26 9,0/10 A calm and reassuring series about taking your time accepting setbacks and figuring yourself out.
Love Upon A Time (Thailand, 2026 ) 12.06.26 8,5/10 A good mix of comedy, mystery and drama. A bit long at times.
Double Helix (China, 2026 ) 13.06.26 9,0/10 A well crafted story of outside pressures, motivations and characterrisations. Though they fell for the non violent non ill mental ilness categorisation in the end. The colour dynamic was good.
Shitsuren Karuta (Japan, 2026 ) 14.06.26 8,5/10 A look at why romantic relationships fail and emphasis that we need relationships outside of that.
One Year (Thailand, 2026 ) 14.06.26 5,5/10 What an unsatisfying endorsement of the status quo and the path of least resistance. To setup abuse because of the dependance on caretakers as something unchangeable.
Dropped in the last two weeks

Sereno (Philippines, 2025 ) 14.06.26 Ep 8/10 7,0/10
10 of my favourite ships
I was tagged by @thisonelikesaliens and I would have put together nearly the same list as the last time i was tagged in this game until I remembered how I searched for Tiuri and Piak gifs and eventually gave up because they apparently made a bad Netflix adaptation.
Rules: Without naming them, post a GIF of ten of your favorite ships (any media) and tag as many people as possible to do the same!

Hello! My curiosity compels me to drop by your inbox. I see by your reblogs on my dash that you watched Life: Love on the Line. What did you think? Rose💜
It was great!
I haven't watched something so captivating in some time. The story about queer struggles with beautiful imagery especially the colour motif of blue and red and sunrise/sunset. I could easily see myself in Itou Akira and although I would have liked him to work more for his forgiveness and the end felt a bit weaker in general it had me emotionally swept up.
Call me by no name - EP1 Colours - Stepping around the colour wheel to keep the distance
Although I am not yet fully taken by Call me by no name's fake dating setup, the colour-coding in the first episode has piqued my interest.
It starts with Megumi and Kotoha in orange and purple.
But we soon learn that they are normally red/pink and blue coloured.
Because Kotoha got too close to her Megumi took a step back and her colour changed accordingly.
I am interested too see how this continues and if they continue change colours according to their relationship development.
