This poll might look a little familiar.... Due to a timing mix-up yesterday, I am proud to present the 'Best Non-Sword Weapon' poll take 2: Electric Boogaloo!

This time I've chosen to group the options by weapon with wielders in brackets*. Due to space issues, the media that each of them come from is under the read more, and this is definitely a non-exhaustive list!

*Except Xie Lian, who by virtue of winning the previous poll has been brought straight through to part two!

Thank you to everyone from the NiF discord and the watch party discord (and especially @shadaras) who have been amazing at suggesting characters with non-sword weapons! Couldn't have have done it without you! Also thank you to @thebansacredbanned who looked up the names of various obscure characters for me.

Propaganda, examples, and write-ins absolutely welcome!

LOL what the hell is this hot search, and it’s #1 on both main and entertainment. Uhm. Wang Yibo is apparently the Lord and Savior of Chinese Domestic Box Office. If he can’t save “sports” themed movies then no one can. Thank you for your optimistic view of Yibo and his projects. All his starring movies are well made and he will do more that increases the quality of Chinese made films.

THE ARTICLE ITSELF, which prompted the HS is from China News Weekly. To be fair, it’s not blaming Yibo or anything. It actually presented other factors that affects the box office especially with this theme but of course they would use that title to lure people. I’ll quote one part of it that said:

According to industry analysis, the box office of "One and Only" fell short of expectations, and it is not because the creators and actors are "incompetent". The main reason is that sports-themed movies are still "niche", which has even become a "structural problem".

The whole article is below if you wanna read it. It’s a long article but has a good perspective ⬇️

Among all the summer movies, "One and Only" starring Wang Yibo and Huang Bo was generally favored by the industry before its release. Judging from the market feedback after the screening, director Dapeng has made significant progress visible to the naked eye, and the film has won a good reputation, but under the combined effect of internal and external factors, this sports-themed movie failed to get too much cake from the "big market" in the market. The box office was far from expectations, and it still did not escape the "curse" of sports-themed movies. Can't the popular star Wang Yibo save Chinese sports movies?

A group of comedians acted in an inspirational film? "One and Only" is directed by Dapeng, written by Su Biao, produced by Chen Zhixi, starring Wang Yibo and Huang Bo. Although the tone of the announcement is a comedy, it actually tells an "inspirational story" about hip-hop in sports. Director Dapeng believes that street dance is both competitive and entertaining, and it is a novel carrier that can directly participate in narrative and emotional construction. In this film, Chen Shuo (played by Wang Yibo), whose family has suffered a change, still insists on his street dance dream under the heavy pressure of life, and meets Ding Lei (played by Huang Bo), a hip-hop coach and a bole of life. Under multiple obstacles such as withdrawal of capital by the funder and suppression by opponents, the "two male protagonists" work together to lead the team to "pass through the trials and tribulations", achieve mutual success, and finally reach the other side of victory together. Attentive audiences found that "One and Only" is still Dapeng's way of telling stories, portraying characters, and presenting its value to society in the way he is good at. In Dapeng's past works, you can almost find "shadows" similar to the "two male protagonists" in this film: the little people from the bottom of society are all working tirelessly for their favorite careers and ideals, and they always have the belief that "hard work pays off" (The slogan of the film's street dance team "exclamation point")... Film critic Mu Yi commented on the acting skills of the actors: "Specifically speaking, Ding Lei starring Huang Bo is very contagious, and the sadness and helplessness of the little people are moving. Wang Yibo's breakthrough performance is also great, the several scenes between him and Huang Bo are delicate and vivid, especially the scene where he hides behind a pillar and watches his mother sing and weep quietly, which can easily touch the heartstrings of the audience."

With the presentation of the hip-hop competition, Dapeng filled the "flavor of gunpowder" again and was praised by the industry. It is understood that this film brings together many top hip-hop practitioners across the country. During the performance, they "fought and danced" with each other's arrogant expressions, dedicated to the difficult movements of "exploding", coupled with the light and shadow creation of the big stage and the hard-working shouts of the audience, the whole process was full of "exciting" and "cool". . Mu Yi believes that Dapeng's shooting of the hip-hop competition is so "bright and colorful", which is a reflection of his significant improvement in camera language expression and large-scale scene scheduling capabilities. The inspirational story is well told, and the presentation of the big scenes is impressive, but after watching the whole film, the audience's perception of "Enthusiasm" does not seem to be very funny.

Huang Bo, Xiaoshenyang, Yue Yunpeng and other comedians didn't seem to be too "burdened" throughout the whole process, and they didn't contribute many impressive golden sentences. In this regard, Dapeng made an interpretation in the road show. "We have invited a lot of very talented actors for comedy. They all have their own comedy ideas and styles, but they have well balanced this comedy performance in this movie. They not only act in comedy, but also Let everyone see your ability to shape life outside of comedy." In fact, the reason why "One and Only" is more passionate and inspirational, and it doesn't make too much effort to be "funny", it is a "propositional composition", long before it was released. It is not unrelated to obtain "official certification". According to official information, "One and Only" was jointly planned by the Propaganda Department of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the Hangzhou 2023 Asian Games Organizing Committee, and was exclusively authorized by the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee. This film is based on the Hangzhou Asian Games to be held in 2023.

In the end, the main creators decided to use the newly added street dance project (the official name of the project is Breakdancing) as the theme for creation. In the film, Dapeng shows the cityscape of Hangzhou in accordance with relevant requirements. In addition to the landmarks and scenery such as the West Lake Long Bridge and the foot of Phoenix Mountain, the final "decisive battle" in the film is arranged in the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium, which is one of the main venues of the Hangzhou Asian Games. "As an old athlete, watching this movie is very emotional."

During the road show of the film, Li Lingwei, a member of the International Olympic Committee and vice chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee who was invited to watch the film, spoke highly of the film: "Break dancing is not only It is a new event in the Asian Games, and it is also a project for the Paris Olympic Games next year, so breakdancing will receive a lot of attention; watching "One and Only" will also help young people cultivate their spirit of persevering and working hard for their dreams." 

On July 28, it was officially launched. Before its release, "One and Only" has been shown as the closing film of the Shanghai International Film Festival in June this year. Compared with other works in the summer file, "One and Only" has a sufficient time window, and has the advantage of gaining word-of-mouth in the market in advance. As of press time,Word-of-mouth box office is still not improving. For "One and Only", the film industry is more regretful: it seems to have the right time, place, and people. Word-of-mouth, popularity, and praise have all gathered in advance, but the box office performance is still difficult to meet expectations. "One and Only" seems to have no Escape the "curse" of sports movies. "I thought it would be a hit, but the screenings were not as good as expected, and the follow-up was weak."

A person who has worked on the release of many Wang Baoqiang comedies told China News Weekly, "The reasons are very complicated, related to the subject matter, and also related to the recent fierce market conditions. .”

According to the publisher, before the release of "One and Only", many distributors and film critics were very optimistic. They believed that a box office of 1 billion is a conservative figure, and 2 billion is the impact target. The official endorsement, with Wang Yibo and Huang Bolai starring, is also the reason for the industry's confidence. One of the planners of "One and Only", film critic Nan Rumin published an article on his personal public account "Poisonous Milk Movie" on July 21, predicting that the final box office of "One and Only" will reach 5.8 billion yuan. You know, the final score of "Changjin Lake", which ranked first in the box office of Chinese film history, was 5.775 billion yuan. The aforementioned issuer stated that although Nan Rumin made such a prediction, although there is no lack of exaggeration and "marketing" elements, the goal of "Hot" is to become the "C position" and the biggest blockbuster in this summer, "its ambition is definitely not small." But the reality is still far from the expectation. According to the box office statistics on the first day of the release of "One and Only", the total box office box office of "Dianying" plus pre-sales exceeded 200 million yuan. god".

Looking at the follow-up, "Hot" only earned 487 million yuan at the box office in 5 days of release, and only 776 million in 15 days of release. At present, major platforms have lowered the expected box office of "One and Only", predicting that its total box office will just exceed 1 billion.

What's more unfavorable is that the market environment has become more intense and complicated during the summer vacation. "One and Only" has not had time to try to further break the circle, it has been a bit marginalized. First of all, during the same period, the voices of "Fengshen" in the market began to increase. In addition, "Megalodon 2” starring Wu Jing was released on August 4, and "Desperate" began to be screened on August 5. Encountered the dilemma of "enemies from both sides" and severe damage to the filming space, the box office will inevitably be "divided". Among them, the large-scale pre-screening of "All or Nothing" caused controversy in the industry (15% of the films scheduled for the first day of the screening, and more than 20% of the films scheduled for the next day). A manager of a theater in Beijing told China News Weekly: "This is equivalent to treating the screening as an official release. For the two feature films "One and Only" and "Fengshen", it is indeed a bit 'non-martial arts'." However, another school of opinion believes: "It is the unsatisfactory market performance of several pre-prologue films that gave "All or Nothing" the confidence to "grab money" in advance. This is the so-called "killing you while you are sick." The publisher told China News Weekly, ""All or Nothing" has caught up with the current enthusiasm for events in northern Myanmar, and the schedule is staggered with "The Missing Her". Although the quality of the film is not perfect, it is not bad. The prequel film also has to find its own reasons " It's hard to write pictures because of spirit, hard to make movies because of sportsWhere is the reason for "One and Only" itself?

According to industry analysis, the box office of "One and Only" fell short of expectations, and it is not because the creators and actors are "incompetent". The main reason is that sports-themed movies are still "niche", which has even become a "structural problem". For sports-themed movies, Wang Fangfang, the director who filmed "My Heart Is Flying" based on the Winter Olympics champion Yang Yang, said helplessly: "If you really go to the theater and watch the movie, you will know that it's not how much the director made it. Poor, this is not a simple issue of film distribution." Chen Kexin, director of "Win the Championship", and Deng Chao, who filmed "Chinese Ping Pong", also have a deep understanding. Both works have impressed many audiences with their passionate spirit, and the Douban scores are both 7.1 points, which shows that the audience recognizes them. But when it comes to the box office, it's hard to say... "Win the Championship" ended up with a box office of only 836 million yuan. The total box office of "Chinese Ping Pong" released in February this year was only 100 million yuan. Why do Chinese audiences not buy sports movies? Zhang Bin, founder of Sunyao Sports, told China News Weekly: "The broadcast of sports events on the Internet and TV media is the embarrassing reason for sports movies. Realistic sports movies must come from real sports events, and the sports events themselves may be full of dramatic tension. , but the ending is nothing new for the audience, so sports fans don't buy it. Movie fans generally think that sports movies are too realistic and boring, and they don't want to watch them. What's more, the themes and narratives of Chinese sports movies have always been too single. The taste of chicken soup and preaching is too strong."

In addition, the difficulty of sports movies is that they cannot get out of the circle to empathize. Zhou Chao, chief editor of Sina Sports and a senior boxing reporter, told China News Weekly: "In the United States, boxing movies are the most awarded sports movies in Oscars, such as "Rocky", "Raging Bull" and "Million Dollar Baby". Because boxing It can best express the process of a person's resistance to injustice and self-struggle.

But in China, audiences are not familiar with boxing, and they don't understand many operational behaviors of professional boxing, and it is even more difficult to empathize with such works." On the contrary, movies like Wang Baoqiang's "In the Octagonal Cage" that have nothing to do with sports but are essentially pan-social themes can make people empathize with "truth". ", the protagonist finally won the game, but still has to go to work and return to ordinary people's life. This ending can touch people's hearts." Zhang Bin analyzed, "The reason why "Let's Wrestle! Dad" became a dark horse in 2017 is because of empathy On the one hand, although many ordinary people do not understand the subject matter of boxing, topics such as national honor, personal dreams, family emotions, and even gender equality can arouse the thinking of audiences of all ages and circles. It can be said that everyone has found common ground in it. In this way, if a sports movie wants to win word-of-mouth and box-office success, it is not enough to just tell a passionate, inspirational and moving story.

Only by continuing to dig and find the "empathy point" recognized by the market and the audience, can the "vicious circle" of "not daring to shoot, not wanting to shoot, not doing well, not being popular" can be fundamentally reversed. "If the box office of "One and Only" can finally break through 1 billion as predicted, it may still be far behind the film's own expectations, but it can still break the box office record of Chinese sports movies. I think it still has reference value." Zhang Bin said "If a sports movie wants to be a blockbuster, in addition to interpreting sportsmanship, it also needs to incorporate more types of elements on the basis of localized narratives, such as comedy, action, suspense, love, and social topics. It is easier to achieve results and be recognized by the market.”

@scarefox tagged me to list 10 songs from my most recent playlist, on shuffle. Thank you! 🤗

So the playlist in question is called "That was a stupid idea". I created it in 2020, between two lockdowns, when I was still a student and working at a university library. Back then, I decided to just fucking walk the 6 kilometres to and from work because using public transport was stressing me out so much. It turned out to be quite a good idea, actually - but I kept the name anyway. 😂🤷🏻‍��️

It started out as a playlist of songs with good, speedy "walking rhythms"...but now it's just a terrible mess of everything for everything - as you can see by the shuffled songs listed below. 😅

Running in Circles - FIL BO RIVA (The voice of this man!!!!!)

I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance) - Glass Animals

Get Wild - MIYAVI (If you don't know MIYAVI - go check him out right now. I'm obsessed with this man and the things he does to his guitar)

Dying in the Heat - Nightseason

Escalate - Ben Böhmer, JONAH

LIT - ONEUS (This song is just such a mood boost for me - and the aesthetics of the MV are beautiful!)

22s - KOKO, Nina Chuba, Dillistone

Es regnet Hirn - OK KID (Spot the Germans I guess. On of the chorus lines means "The Lord is a woman, it's raining brain" and yeah, great song. 😂)

Pretty Please - Jackson Wang, Galantis (The man, the myth, the legend 😭❤)

Beds Are Burning - AWOLNATION, Tim McIlrath of Rise Against

I'm tagging @a-cookie2121 @ailig @hedgewyse @tessaaaaa and @magicaldreamfox1 - but as always no pressure! 😊✌🏻

[tomorrowsdrama]

What is your top 10 hotties from dramaland?

Oh you know I will take any chance to thirst over dramaland hotties. Actually ranking them is so hard though. This is one situation where I would want to give participation prizes for everyone. Everyone is a winner because they're so hot hahaha. But if I really HAD to rank them...

Zhou Yiwei as Xiao Qi in The Rebel Princess

Omg the thirst WAS REAL early 2021 when I first laid eyes on Zhou Yiwei in The Rebel Princess. Wheeeew, there was no shame at all. It's not just the way he looks but also the character himself that makes him my number 1 hottie. Ugh, the way he wielded all his big weapons and his long locks flowing in the wind as he rode in on his horse to save the day. How calm he was in handling everything except whenever it came to Awu or his men. OMG and his chemistry with Awu was just outrageous. It felt voyeuristic watching those two fall in love. I can go on and on and on.

2. Jang Hyuk as Dae Gil in Chuno

Omg Dae Gil, Dae Gil, Dae Gil. Naïve noble young lord who fell in love with a slave turned jaded fucked up slave hunter with amazing pecs and abs obsessively looking for the girl he fell in love with when he was 16. I mean, what's not to love?! That intensity that Jang Hyuk brings to all his characters is especially delicious here. Ahh and all the angst and pain and sacrifice ILOVEHIMILOVEHIMILOVEHIM.

3. Darren Wang as Wolf Boy/Prince Bo in The Wolf

SEX ON LEGS. THE END. I may have been even more shameless in thirsting over Wolf Boy than I was with Xiao Qi. Why isn't he number 1 then? Well, whereas Xiao Qi is wonderful husband material while still being a competent as hell general/murder machine, Wolf Boy is the hot bastard you meet at a sketchy dive bar who you take home for an ill-advised night of great fun. I don't know if being husband material makes you hotter but I guess for this list it does. I don't know!

Cut to save you from all the gifs. More thirst awaits behind the cut!

4. Chen Kun as Ning Yi in The Rise of the Phoenixes

THIS MAN IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SMOLDERS ONSCREEN LIKE HIS LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.  So brilliant, so ruthless, so tragic.  And when he lets his hair down?!  Ugh, I can’t.  The only reason why he isn’t higher is because he’s TOO BEAUTIFUL in a very untouchable way.

5. Kimura Takuya as Haru in Pride

Teenage me took one look at Kimura Takuya as Haru and went YES.  He’s probably only this high because of nostalgia but WHATEVER. It doesn’t matter that Kimura Takuya is maybe 130 pounds max at any given moment.  The jdrama told me he was an ace hockey player and I went “Yes he is!”  This was peak jdrama romance for me. I mean a playboy who doesn’t believe in love falling in love with a traditional woman while fake dating according to the rules of his own game? Yes please!

6. Kim Moo Yeol as Hot Banker in My Beautiful Bride

I’m sure he has an actual name but I don’t know it because he’s always been Hot Banker to me.  I’ve been to many banks, seen many bankers, and never in my life have I ever seen one as hot as Hot Banker. Talk about setting unrealistic expectations. Ooooof I love his one track mindedness in his love for his bride and never stopping until he gets her back...IT FEEDS MY SOUL.  He also works out a lot and the drama makers were kind enough to show us his work out routine onscreen and bless them for that.

7. Ji Sung as Kang Yohan in The Devil Judge

Gay daddy Rochester does modern vengeance kdrama all while looking fucking hot and brooding in suits and loose blouses. Ji Sung is so daddy in this role, the state is looking for him to pay child support.

8. William Chan as hot masochist shifu in novoland pearl eclipse

Hot masochist shifu with a toxic homoerotic relationship with a psycho emperor whom you want to fuck. He’s THE hot shifu you want to fuck to top all hot shifus (or maybe in his case, bottom?).  His character was as hot as the drama was messy/bad.  OOF.

9. Jin Han as Feng Xi in Twisted Fate of Love

Hot bastard you want to fuck who only melts for his otp. My attraction to Jin Han is irrational and 100% hormone driven.  I have watched so many crap/questionable dramas for this man. SO MANY.

10. Kim Nam Gil as Bi Dam in Queen Seondeok

Kim Nam Gil on any given day is worth thirsting over but especially with that long hair as Bi Dam. I mean come on, abandoned son of the antagonist queen who falls for the new queen/rightful ruler? The dangerous and cutthroat man with questionable morals who throws it all away for his otp and literally fights through an entire army just to see her again?! His character was totally made to turn me on! I couldn’t find any gifs to do him justice so please enjoy this clip of his last scene where he cuts through an army to reach his lover and falls just short of touching her before he dies.

10. Yoon Sang Hyun as Oska in Secret Garden

OG kdrama himbo with a heart of gold who turns out to be the best bro ever.  He was such a hot dummy, even Lee Jong Suk’s snooty hipster songwriter couldn’t help but fall for him.  Yoon Sang Hyun is such an underrated hottie, it’s a crime.

10. Cha Seung Won as Jo Kook in City Hall

Hot bastard you want to fuck who reforms himself for his otp and tries to be a better man for her. Cha Seung Won is already naturally so hot to me but add onto that his crazy hot chemistry with Kim Sun Ah? 🥵 They were so adult and it was so great. Special shout out to his role in Athena: Goddess of War for being the hottest evil bastard in that mess of a drama.

10. Jung Kyung Ho as Dr’s Son in Cruel City

Look, Jung Kyung Ho is as skinny as a bean pole but he was just so sexy and dangerous in this drama! Wheeeew and that love scene with Nam Gyuri.

Special Category: hottie not from an Asian drama - Uraz Kaygilaroglu as Kartal in Uc Kurus

Pictures don’t do him justice, his entire vibe as this character is so hot to me. You know you’re hot when you can make this monstrous bleach blond look sexy. I think Uc Kurus was my first foray into Turkish shows (it’s either this or Destan) and it was all because of Kartal. What’s not to like about a Romani mafioso who is perhaps on the wrong side of the law but is also someone who does everything he can to protect his loved ones and his community and is a bit damaged? He makes a very good case for slumming it!

Some special mentions that didn’t quite make the top 10:

Joo Won’s insane abs in Alice

Lee Dong Wook in anything and everything

Lee Soo Hyuk’s frequent flyer abs in The Scholar Who Walks the Night

Nam Goong Min’s everything in the first episode of The Veil

[djappleblush]

The show I'm watching likes to play a game and it's called "how many times can I break your heart per episode?" and holy fvck I'm emotionally spent.
