City Boy Log | Jaejun x Jihan: Kisses

So this came out of nowhere into my recommended, and I got swept in by the superb kissing. The kissing👌

After a little digging, I found out it's a Korean BL webseries which is framed like a series of Youtube vlogs. I had no idea at first if I was watching something candid or produced. It feels like a mixture of both. Pretty clever idea I have to say because it's hard to tell what's scripted and what's done on the fly. Makes the acting feel really natural.

Each vlog (aka episode) is only 10 minutes long, so short and sweet.

so so excited for the fresh start that is october. im gonna try harder this time. im gonna do better this time ☆

if you’re like me (someone who often obsesses over the apathy of time, specifically the way it’s ever moving forward whether you want it to or not) it’s okay to latch onto the idea of beginning again, it’s okay to allow yourself the simple miracle of approaching the world anew, just because you can

my parents got me a box of blank recipe cards for my birthday, so I've been copying out my awful notebook this afternoon, and wow, I can cook a lot of things! I will not learn from this, however, and will be back to not knowing a single foodstuff the next time I write a shopping list

9 Lines, *looks at smudged writing on hand* some People Tag

I was tagged by @sarandipitywrites <3

Obligatory enby rep just dropped for All of our Lives:

Just when he wanted to knock a third time, the door was ripped open with so much vigor, it slammed against the wall and a few fibers of dried moss fluttered down from the roof. Ross flinched, clutching the crutch to keep himself upright as his left leg spasmed. A figure filled the doorway, a head and a half taller than him, with thin, pale green hair and wrinkly, sun-tanned skin. They wore a robe of indeterminable shape and color, like dirt and grass and rotting leaves made clothing. A strand of ivy wrapped around their neck and dangled down their front, and they waved a fossilized toad on a stick around as they called out in a booming voice. “Toad eyes and wasp wings and worm— Ross? Is that you?” The toad-on-a-stick was lowered. “Hello, Lichen.”

I barely know a single person to tag anymore, let alone 9, so I'm just gonna tag a third of that :p If you feel like doing it @the-inkwell-variable @winterandwords and @starlit-hopes-and-dreams

yet another reprise of the same post i’ve made dozens and dozens of times before but GEEZ! i am so incredibly lucky to be doing what i’m doing! to think i spend hours and hours and days and weeks and months and years and hopefully DECADES pouring over animation history, lauding the masters and studying their work so intently and absorbing it and feeling and identifying with it, and the fact that i get to walk the same turf they did. that i get to be a part of this business that they established. that i get to carry the torch and that, some day, no matter how small or insignificant, my own work and contributions will be regarded as “animation history” because i work in animation and all history is history. i just can’t believe that i’m privileged enough to indulge in some of the same practices that The Greats did, that i get to study their work and, if i’m so lucky, channel and make homages to it where possible.

this isn’t to say “i’m just like Tex Avery because i work in animation TOO!!!!”, but, rather, an expression of my sheer GRATITUDE and amazement that i get to do what i do at all. i’ve met so many nice people. blossomed so much as an artist and cartoonist. get inspired each day by the talent i am constantly surrounded by. and to think that i get to be a part of it!!!!! that i get to carry the torch! i know this sounds so conceited and pompous and i really don’t mean it that way at all because i don’t WANT to be known as someone who people are only interested in because i work in cartoons. i just wanna be known for me! what “me��� is i guess is for you to decide! but, regardless, i’m just feeling extra thankful tonight that i’m able to indulge in my passions and SPREAD my passions and have said passions fostered. that i’m lucky enough to tread the same ground as some of the greatest creatives that gave me this ground to tread on. there will never be enough words to properly articulate just how deeply and passionately my gratitude extends.

i do think mike attracts a particular type of obsession and there are definitely people out there who take it way too far... but like what exactly are we doing here that isnt bog standard bandom stuff lmao 60 years later and people are still shipping simon and garfunkel or the beatles or whatever i dont think we are treading over new ground here like come on now

ya, it actually is a little teeny tiny bit heartbreaking that I think Mike himself doesn't even realize how or why he attracts some over-the-top obsessive folks/intense parasocial feelings...but he does...

but for real like...lol....i'd say we're actually like...kinda mild here??? and also it's a tiny fandom for mike on this site in particular??? I don't know if i should....admit this proudly, but amongst other things, my previous bandom circles definitely had like vore, furry, non-con, etc. and like, all those musicians survived 😂

it kind of boggles me that after all this time fandom™ is considered cringe by like...people I would consider boring™? Like...even if it's not sexual, if you're not thinking weird thoughts about public people you're interested in.....what the heck is the point??? we've got our big ol' human brains to what..."healthily enjoy" something? lol

that all being said...to me, and i imagine to the other folks here, there is a big, big gulf between the kind of shooting the shit we do about this guy we think is interesting, and like....legit pathological parasocial behavior. If I ever thought anyone interacting with this blog really felt they had a "special personal connection" with Mike or needed to contact him directly or anything like that...I'd would absolutely feel like I'd have to try to ground us a bit.

and finally - to tie the Mike fandom cringe to the Mike buzz cut ask....I mean....I'm NOT saying he's asking for some weird obsessive fans but like....come on...this guy?:

he's at least asking for a crowd to spit in his mouth...and that's kind of the same thing.
