“Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere.”

“In bars”

“In cars”

“Sidewalks”

“Stores”

“Everywhere. There is no escape.”

“I’m God’s lonely man.”

Wouldn't it be funny if I made an April Fools fic about the two of them (pictures from @quakilynn on tiktok)

I just knew this scene looked familiar, so I watched Taxi Driver last night and did a deep dive. Did you know Martin Scorsese heavily influenced the editing style in the first season of The Bear?

Scorsese also narrates 3x09 Apologies at the beginning with a sequence of film and magic. The Bear is truly groundbreaking in making TV series look like cinema. There's also a scene similar to dissociation in Raging Bull as the main character is focused on his fist and the ice bucket. (Carmy stares at that ice bucket after the sauce.)

Both Taxi Driver and Raging Bull tell the story of the exercise of control (sublimation a fruedian concept). Pent-up emotions or desires are ideally transferred to a higher good like art. Or one can transfer such pent-up emotions into a more destructive act..

At the end you can have a look at what we can expect in April with a MDL link and a link for a trailer (if avaible).

This is guaranteed to contain spoilers!

1. Blue Boys Part 2 🇰🇷 (1/4)

They are back and they made up 🥰 There is going to be a little bit drama, at least I hope just a little bit and not another break up or cheating -.- But they talked and I really liked it! And I loved that this stupid bitch got dumbed! Now I wait for the next parts.

2. Hidamari ga Kikoeru 🇯🇵 (1/12)

And with this first scene I fell in love. I was totally absorbed! And I got my giffing joy back. I don't know what happend, but I adore these two. And I can't wait to whitness their story to be told! Because they're in balance right now. One is loud and one is silent. One is hiding and one is seeking. And both are happy to see the other one happy.

3. His Man Season 3 🇰🇷 (4/?)

I love this format! I enjoyed the first two seasons to the max and the third one is something else too. There are so many different people with different personalities and thinkings. As always there is some kind of tension and love triangles, but there are some really wholesome moments too. I really hope people keep in mind that these people have their own feelings and not a script to act on.

4. My Love Mix-Up! 🇹🇭 (4/12)

I see so many posts from people not liking this one and I am sitting here enjoying this story. I don't compare it to anything. i just enjoy some awkward fluff. And I think the casting is quite good. I don't have the strongest feeling for the japanese original. I really enjoyed it and it is a great series, but I think the thai one is entertaining too and the chemistry between those two is still there.

5. My Stand-In 🇹🇭 (10/12)

I loved this scene! The way Ming caressed Joe and the way he fucked him, finally facing him. Thank you! Tong is a stupid shitface. He is such a bad fucker. I have some strong feelings here. And yes, I liked the progress of Ming's and Joe's relationship. I don't like the ending, but I liked seeing them happy together. Perhaps mostly because I want to see Joe happy. The ending was cruel and next week comes episode 11 so... yay...

6. Wandee Goodday 🇹🇭 (9/12)

Do I like it when they kiss? Hell yeah! Do I like the back and forth with the kisses? Hell no! At this point I don't know where they are going with the story. It is quite repetitive. Yak wants a kiss, Dee plays shy. Yak smiles and kisses him on the cheek and they live happily like boyfriends, but they aren't boyfriends, even though they both like each other! At least Yak finally understood his feelings. Now please let Dee work on his problems. There are three more episodes to go. Let them be happy and work on their problems together! It gets a little bit boring...

7. Word of Honor 🇨🇳 (20/36)

Those two flirt a lot and are a married couple. Everyone knows that. And I love and enjoy that! Overall this is such a fun watch and the different sects and intrigues are sometimes a little bit confusing, but interesting. I love this world of martial arts and I love how protective Wen Kexing is over Zhou Zishu. I haven't felt like watching this lately. I wasn't in the right mood.

Finished in June

Series

Taxi Driver 🇰🇷

I looooved the first episodes, when we got our weekly revenge stories. But around episode 12 there was so much going on with the police and the illegal organ-trafficing-ring and it got kind of boring. And yes, Kim Do-gi is some kind of super human. He can take punch after punch and still beat 30 men in a row. That is a little bit unrealistic, but it was fun watching him. I don't know if I'll watch season 2. Perhaps I start and watch the first episodes with joy before some big shit happens and it gets boring again... But overall still a 7,5 out of 10 for me.

25 Ju, Akasaka de 🇯🇵

They finally talked! Thank god! They finally spoke to each other! And now they are happy and Japan delivered, I must say. The misunderstanding trope was well done, but a little bit drawn out in the end. But I really liked this not so slow burning slow burn. The story was well rounded with the background story, the characters had depth and there was Nagumo Shoma in this soooo... I liked it. A good 9 out of 10 for me.

Cityboy_Log 🇰🇷

Volume 3 came to an end, I guess. I don't know when it will continue. I really hated this "season". It was confusing and the time jumps were disturbing and I really hated the character development. The lying and the cheating and the escalations and the make ups - they lost the characters and their growth on the way. It can be to be attracted to some one else, that is humane, but you don't have to act on it. This "season" really pissed me off. I am still mad! I won't rate it, jsut because the format is confusing for me 😂

Only Boo 🇹🇭

This was a dancy ride with the last part missing the beat. I loved the fluff and Moo was such a delightful character and Kang is such a sweetheart. I loved these two together! And I loved that Moo had to fight a little bit to get Kang. What I didn't like was the fact, that in the end it all felt too rushed and too easy? I like that they got together again and that Moo still could fullfill his dream, but it would be nice if we could have seen him starting a little revolution and the fans rooting for him and Kang and finally changing something. But that didn't happen. But over all this one was such a sweet wholesome watch! So in the end it is a 8,5 out of 10 for me.

Short Film

Movie

Double Mints 🇯🇵

Can I say I am a little bit disappointed? Don't get me wrong. This is a good movie, but it is always depicted as this fucked up, dark movie you should be warned to watch and named in one breath with Dangerous Dr*gs of S*x or The Shortest Distance Is Round. And yes, it is brutal and dark and their relationship is interesting but kind of messed up, but it did not meet my expectations. Nevertheless I really liked it and from all those dark movies and series I watched so far, this is one of the better ones. I really like the devotion and enjoyed watching the D/s relationship. The ending was very much fitting for this kind of movie and kind of romantic. Yes, this sounds fucked up, but I guess both of them were very much on the edge and this is the only solution for them to be together forever and become one again. They found each other and that is all they needed. Guess I liked this movie more than I first thought. So for me it gets a good 8,5 out of 10.

[meanderingmoles]

very fun awesome anime (i’ve been doodling nothing else for days)

[snckt]

realistically, with all its tumbling and tossing, the sugar bowl would be anything but porcelain, but i think there’s something to be said about the fragility, nay the breakability of the sugar bowl, and how, to our knowledge it is safe and secure and in the right hands, despite those hands being neither good nor bad, and !!! do you think there’s hope in the sugar bowl

[hanzajesthanza]

it is absolutely so weird to me to try to imagine a version of geralt that is like, my age. like, no. get back to being an old man

[fizzstix]

messaging... texting even... communicating........

[mourningmaybells]

Before anyone says anything, I love The Exorcist so much but it doesn't count because it was never formally banned. Also if my behated old catholic school cited it positively, as well as a lot of the clergy, then that's a wretched enough reason for me to revoke its rights to be blasphemous.

(If you want a 1973 horror that got banned, watch lemora or the original wicker man. Watch my movies, boy)

[thorarms]

Au where thor is a fresh faced adult whose just moved to a new city for uni.

During freshers him and his mates go drinking at a metal bar in town because they happened to have a free bar hour. Thor spots a man in the crowd and becomes instantly smitten. They happen to get talking outside after his mates move on to another bar, and the mysterious handsome older man just so happens to live not far from here, and would thor like to go back to his place for a drink and to listen to some music. Thor immediately agrees, thinking it's a normal hookup, but once there lets himself get talked into being tied up and mock tortured. He enjoys himself fine while it's happening but starts to feel weird and disoriented. Mysterious Older Man kicks him out once it's over, and thor stumbles back to his flat, eventually collapsing on his bed in tears. He wakes up the next day hungover and extremely emotionally fragile, and remembers in a panic that his parents were visiting family in town today and he has to meet them for lunch in like an hour. Ugh, his fathers recently reconnected with his brother for the first time in like 15 years, and thor has to meet him and pretend hes fine and doesnt want to crawl into a hole and never come out. He pulls himself together enough to be functional and drags himself to lunch, hears his parents shout him over to their table, and comes face to face with the man that tied him up and tortured him with knives last night. His father introduces him as his uncle loki and thor feels the blood run cold in panic. He glances over at loki and he looks much the same. They both struggle through dinner, and the moment they both happen to be alone they vow to never speak of it again. Such a shame that thor starts having weird dreams of being held down on an altar by loki, and keeps waking up in a cold sweat :)
