my favourite trope is when someone believes they're hard to love and someone who loves them like it's breathing

Enemies to lovers romance is the journey from sweetheart (derogatory) to sweetheart (affectionate)

“You want me,” he says softly, his hands moving up my back, “and it’s killing you.”

“You really do want me,” I say, close enough to feel the warmth of his breath as it hitches. “And you hate it.”

Crash Landing on You + Letterboxd reviews

[sdivalla]

the most romantic thing ive ever seen in a tv show or movie is when Ri Jeong Hyeok in Crash Landing is on his own stacking a cupboard with food so that Yoon Se Ri can look after herself after he's gone because he's so worried she'll be depressed again and not eat, and then he pauses stacking and crouches a bit lower to be her height and reaches for the top shelf and realises she wont be able to reach, so stacks everything again but a bit lower. entirely silent scene no explanation or exposition. true love.

Every time I see the take ZK is a ship whomst is bad because colonialism/historical enemies/warring countries/bla bla bla

Without fail I inevitably think of how a romance between a South Korean woman getting stranded in North Korea and then falling for the North Korean soldier who tried to arrest her is not only an actual TV show made by South Koreans, it in fact became the 2nd highest rated TV show the country ever made, and how Twitter would all but lose their effing minds if they tried to apply anti-zutara logic to, well, that 🤣

Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!

The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.

This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.

Here is a short and easy video showing this in action

The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.

You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.

If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!

I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.

If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!

"i love you in every universe" and "i wanted to say, in another life, i would be happy just doing laundry and taxes with you"–– OH MY GOD!!! i love love love love absolutely adore the idea that your love for a specific person carries through every universe. it may end well, it may not– but the fact that you can meet someone and fall in love with any and every iteration of them???!!! it fills my heart and shatters it on the ground holy shit
