Hey y'all I impulsively made this late last night while suffering from a headache lol

Just put down the first 256 bls I could remember/find in other lists. so it's got some deep pulls along with potentially missing some more popular shows

i think we should all start using arabic words and phrases more often because its a beautiful language and also theres not really. english equivalents that have the same vibes

theres also the comedy potential of it. you guys dont know the joy of having your muslim friend text you "hopefully the racists in our city will all get sick and cant go to the protest" and you, as a pasty white guy, responding with "inshallah they get covid"

its a one hit KO every time. its fucking hilarious. theres no english word that has the same effect.

he also once texted me that he got over a mysterious illness he came down with (i think? i cant remember the exact context) and i responded with "subhanallah he is cured"

again, one hit KO. he lost his shit.

what im saying is we gotta normalise arabic. its just a language like any other, and it has some great words. its just like saying "thank god" or whatever, but theres so much variety and nuance. its beautiful

I really wish that the BL industry would stop pandering so much to cishet viewers. Pushing heteronormativity so much that the actors/characters can't even switch from series to series.

In the bts for the ThamePo finale when they were filming the final scene where Thame and Po walk back into Po's room, Est jokingly talked about Po carrying Thame into the bedroom, he even picked William up to carry him but the staff said "wrong positions" and "it'll confuse the viewers" ... no viewers that actually know anything about queer relationships would be confused.

Something I liked about The Heart Killers was that Kant was the top and Bison was the bottom but Kant was the submissive one while Bison was dominant.

And in Jack & Joker they clearly showed that they're verse because they both tried to be the top and Jack implied that Joke could top next time.

We need to see more versatility in BLs. Less fixed positions, let them be switches and verse (or hell more characters that are Sides, someone who doesn’t like to top or bottom). Just something else other than the heteronormative roles that are constantly pushed on queer relationships. We get enough of that in real life, I'd like for these queer shows to not cater to the cishet audience.

after officially finishing ossan’s love i can now say with my full chest that they can never put earth back into the brooding old man archetype he was regulated to before. this man was MADE for over the top comedic babygirl characters i don’t CARE how hot he looks when brooding!!!!

You know what I think is really cool about language (English in this case)? It’s the way you can express “I don’t know” without opening your mouth. All you have to do is hum a low note, a high note, then another lower note. The same goes for yes and no. Does anyone know what this is called?

Daon: I AM GETTING AWAY FROM JAEMIN’S OBSESSIVE ASS SO I CAN LIVE MY OWN LIFE

I think an American adaptation of Kinnporsche is the only thing that could politically salvage the USA at this point

Fight for You

Taiwan

Da Hei reluctantly takes on illegal odd jobs to earn medical funds, unaware that his roommate Xiao Bai is secretly an operative sent by the intelligence agency to take them down.

After completing mission after mission, the two rookies’ growing dependence on each other deepens each day. But can they be together? Will they choose to reform their ways or continue down the dark path? We haven't had cop/criminal in a long time, and from Taiwan no less, I'm looking forward to this!

I'd like to share that I used that exact video in my Thai tones presentation for my phonetics/phonology course.

I did not tell them to, it was merely as a irl example, but I got 15 grad students to copy him and say his name lmao. Congrats Daou. Now at the very least you have 15 people who don't know you, but at the very least know how to pronounce your name correctly cause it's the only way they've ever heard it.

One guy was very entertained by Daou explaining the "d" (it's actually a t) in his name as a "th" (dental fricative). Its just the only way Daou could think of to get Americans™ to pronounce it right lol

Daou telling people how to pronounce his name properly, New York ver

As a linguistics grad student who is doing a presentation on Thai tones in 2 weeks... I was super excited. Peak nerd for several reasons.

Also he's super cute
