Recommendation for something to watch and complete on a off day? I am also off today. Something soft and full of love preferably....

10 Soft BL's to Binge In A Day

(Since I don't sleep and watch high speed I binge full length Thai BL but I'm assuming you want something shorter than that, so I've limited myself to a 5hr runtime.)

1. Semantic Error (Korea Viki) - Sexy older boy discovers pouty younger boy has outed him as a slacker, starts out bullying him, accidentally falls madly in love. Korea hits it entirely out of the Parks by doing a university BL with everything we expect from BL just done exactly right. Korea's signature quality executed perfectly with added bonus good story, great pacing, stunning visuals, and fantastic chemistry. You cannot ask for more from a BL, let alone a KBL. Full review.

2. Seven Days (Japan grey in 2 parts Seven Days: Monday - Thursday, Seven Days: Friday - Sunday) - one of the best live action yaoi mangas ever made. The leads have excellent chemistry although it’s low heat, there’s still more kisses than Cherry Magic. Popular first year Seiryo has a policy of going out with any girl who asks… for one week. On a lark, third year Yuzuru tests to see if that policy also applies to boys. Seiryo agrees that it does. Along the way they accidentally fall in love. All the angst is just teen confusion. 

3. Our Dating Sim (Korea Viki) - I enjoyed every aspect from the casting to the very simple premise to the quietly smooth execution. Sure it’s very low stakes, but that makes it high domesticity and extremely warm and gentle. This is a fuzzy blanket of a story. Do we call this cozy BL? Why not? This one is going to live in my rewatch pile, I can tell already, and you know what’s best about it? Every single episode is in that pile. There’s no skipping with this one, it might be good natured and calmly sweet but it’s tight and the pacing is excellent. It perfectly suited KBL’s short-length tendencies. Full review.

4. Light On Me (Korea Viki - Korea does an elegant pastiche of traditional live action yaoi but all tropes are cleverly deployed to bolster one of the most riveting love triangles ever put on screen… and I don’t like love triangles. LoM strategically tailors classic BL tropes to 2 different semes resulting in pristine pacing, plot, and character development, explicitly serving narrative (not just to tick boxes). LoM is a master class in this trope drops. (If you write fanfic or romance you should study this show.) Full review.

5. Takara-kun and Amagi-kun (Japan Gaga & Viki) - I gnawed on my knuckles and squealed a lot with this show. Reserved cool kid who must learn to communicate to keep the tiny disaster nugget he’s madly in love with. It is beyond charming: soft and gentle, packed with cuteness and high school angst, thirst, & yearning. Was there plot? Not really. Was it emotionally tense and paced well enough for me not to notice? Absolutely. Did I enjoy the hell out of it? Oh yes. Full review.

6. HIStory 2: Crossing the Line (Taiwan Viki) - super low stakes sweetest story of the bad boy who falls hard for the senior on the volleyball team and then works to earn his love. You know it’s Taiwan so the kisses are great but in this case it also ends well. Only trigger is that the side couple is the stepbrothers trope, and some don’t like that.

7. Cherry Magic (Japan indie subbed) AKA Doutei dato Mahoutsukai ni narerurashii - the sweetest, fluffiest, most charming bit of adorable ever, full of found family and pastry and serious slapstick, the characters are utterly bonkers, but cute about it. 

8. Wish You (Korea Netflix or Viki, you want the movie version) AKA WISH YOU: Your Melody in My Heart - low stakes high pining romance about a pianist who falls in love with a busker who is on his way to being the next big idol. 

9. Restart After Come Back Home (Japan indie subbed or Gaga?) - this one is perfect if you just want a beautiful loving movie, and one that is well filmed and complex enough to appeal to those who don’t normally watch BL or romance (if you have a reluctant partner). 

10. You Are Ma Boy (Vietnam YouTube) - is there angst? Nope even what could have been angst (a gay idol) doesn’t materialize, it’s just cuties in a cafe confusing each other with cat & mouse games. The side het couple is a touch disturbing, tho. 

Also Old Fashioned Cupcake, it's a bit more complicated than soft but a FANTASTIC binge watch.

eh uhh, you ever see a woman and- *trips and falls to my knees head smashing forward into the ground and breaking my nose there's blood everywhere I can hardly breath through it* ya know watta mean?

[hayffiebird]

Katniss: *cries in her pillow after she and Peeta had a huge fight and he went to sleep over at Hazelle’s for the past week*

Effie: *comes in and sits on the bed next to her beloved semi-adopted daughter* No need to cry alone.

Katniss: *sniffles* I was trying to be brave. I kept saying to myself that he’s coming back. But he’s not. He’s not coming back.

Effie: *caresses her hair* You don’t know that.

Katniss: Yes, I do. And I don’t CARE! He doesn’t love me. And I don’t love him. I never really liked him in the first place.

Effie: *considers this, then shrugs* Well, to tell you the truth, neither did I. He’s not that handsome and he’s kind of … I don’t know what the right word is. Awkward, I guess. I’m not even sure he’s that bright.

Katniss: *looks up with tears on her cheeks* Oh, no. He’s bright. He’s just real shy. That’s probably why you think he’s awkward.

Effie: Really?

Katniss: Really.

Effie: Well, he’s certainly not handsome.

Katniss: I think he is. You probably just like men with dark hair.

Effie: Well, maybe. *smiles* You know, Katniss, for someone who doesn’t even like him you sure thought of a lot of reasons why you did like him … DO like him … and in fact, do love him.

The good thing about listening to multiple podcasts at once is that I don't get hung over on monthly updates or long hiatuses

The bad thing is that I keep losing track of new episode releases and end up thinking I have nothing to listen to

Spoilers for The M/agnus A/rchives Back on my T/MA bullshit-

Thinking about E/lias. Thinking about E/lias with an awful headcold.

Trudging into work, so congested each breath takes effort. His lungs feel nearly as heavy as his eyelids. Each sniffle is a gamble and the odds are not in his favour.

All of this would be enough to cause discomfort at the best of times. These are not the best of times.

The Archivist is just starting to unravel the thread, beginning to follow the lines of fear as they run through his veins, scratch against his denial, latch onto his soul.

Now is not the time to be distracted. The statements must be carefully monitored, the Archivists progression must be tracked. Everything must... must be... behh... hH'yIHhhshhuh-!

Maybe the fears have a sense of humour. Why else would... eh'kySHhhihh-! Would he have come down with... hk'tSHhIHh'uu-! With this awful headcold... yISCHhhh'iuu-! Snff- Good lord.

On top of the normal symptoms, now there's the added strain of observing the Archivist by hand, so to speak. Forget sense of humour, this feels more like some sort of cosmic punishment.

Meanwhile Jon is just trying to make it through his statements, pointedly ignoring the muffled outbursts from his bosses office. And the way he seems to be... f- following him..? Always watching, despite how he can barely keep his eyes open. Maybe the recent work has been less then acceptable? Better step it up.
