In hindsight, it seems trivial: the reason why Ayaka fell in love with Hiroko in the first place.
But if you put things into perspective, Hiroko gave Ayaka something she apparently has been missing her whole life — a motivation to smile and have fun, regardless of the circumstances. Hiroko brought colour and spark into Ayaka's life and sometimes, that's enough reason to fall in love.

2024 Recap: ✨A Summary✨
Post your most popular and/or favourite edit/gifset/analysis for each month (it’s okay to skip months!)
@lurkingshan tagged a post that I was a co-author on and thus I am feeling inspired to also do this post.
January:
most popular: Comparison of Tharn and Phaya irl and in fantasy
favorites: Top 5 "Oh" Moments Ask || Feelings Made Visible: Design Choices in The Sign post.
I loved getting asks, so answering the "oh" moment question was really fun! And as disappointed with the quality of The Sign by the end, I still really love the essay I wrote reading way to in to the color and lens flare choices and how they relate to the animals Tharn and Phaya are associated with.
February:
most popular: Symptoms of a System Error: The Manifestation of Myungha’s Depression in Love for Love’s Sake
favorites: Symptoms of a System Error: The Manifestation of Myungha’s Depression in Love for Love’s Sake || The Ways Non was Failed in Dead Friend Forever || DyFy Body Language Breakdown
Love for Love's Sake was fucking incredible, and I had so much goddamn fun writing this post about the ways in which different video game structures are implemented in this series. Dead Friend Forever may have stumbled right at the end in my eyes but holy hell was the writing around the abuse Non suffered strong! And you know I love me some Fire and Dynamite.
March:
most popular: Pitch to get people to watch Love is Better the Second Time Around.
favorites: Trans Allegory in Cupid's Last Wish, co-authored with @lurkingshan and @so-much-yet-to-learn || Unknown Episode 6 Breakdown Breakdown || Top 5 (or 3) Seme & Ukes Ask
CUPID'S LAST WISH IS A TRANS ALLEGORY EVERYONE AND EVEN IF THE NARRATIVE IS NOT THE STRONGEST I THINK IT IS WORTH WATCHING FOR THAT REASON. Ohhhh Unknown how I loved writing essays about you...And of course, I am going to love any opportunity I am given to talk about 180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us
April:
most popular: Episode 10: The Couch
favorites: Episode 10: The Couch || Parallels in Unknown Episode 9 || Losing my mind over Unknown Episode 8 || Unknown, Episode 10: Qian and Yuan || Favorite Body Language Indicators Ask || Favorite Physical Acting Performances
Y'all. I wrote SO much in April and so much about Unknown in April. I am beginning to understand why my writing petered out the next couple of months. But damn if Unknown did not go hard for so long, I had so many worms in my brain about it.
May:
most popular: Episode 12: Ties
favorites: Episode 12: Doors!
June:
most popular: How in character Dee and Dr. Devil's research was
favorites: And the Hands Have It!
It felt like it had been forever since I wrote about hands/body language so I was very excited to have some inspiration to actually write again.
July:
most popular: I Love Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko and I think everyone should watch it
favorites: I really enjoyed doing the Asian QL Ask Game
Ohhh how the mighty have fallen. I loved so much of Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko and I'm glad I was so passionate about it at one point, but I was sad about how it ended. I love when the tumblr community does the tumblr community thing and we get to spend some time passing around tags and asks and getting to know more about people's likes and dislikes in different aspects of BL. I feel like it encourages people to write more about shows and I love seeing new analytical posts about the shows I am watching.
August:
most popular: I’M BACK BABY! Takara’s Treasure, Ep. 7 Scene Breakdown
favorites: I am being so so sincere when I say that Episode 10 of The Miracle of Teddy Bear has just secured a spot as one of my favorite BL episodes of all time. || I'M BACK BABY! Takara's Treasure, Ep. 7 Scene Breakdown
GOD I LOVE THE MIRACLE OF TEDDY BEAR, definitely one of my favorite posts of the entire year. But I can't not thank Takara's Treasure for giving me enough to work with to write my first scene break down in a fourth month time gap.
September:
most popular: Bengiyo's Queer Cinema Syllabus: The Watermelon Woman
favorites: Bengiyo's Queer Cinema Syllabus: The Watermelon Woman
lmfao this was the only thing I wrote in Sept.
October:
most popular: praise of how The Legend of Vox Machina adapted The Chroma Conclave Arc from Critical Role
favorites: Love in the Big City Ep 1-2 || Love in the Big City Ep 3-4
Spoiler alert: Love in the Big City was such a fun viewing/fandom experience and I loved every minute of watching and writing about it with the book club people!
November:
most popular: Literal Heart Eyes
favorites: Love in the Big City Ep 5-6 || Love in the Big City Ep 7-8 || Bengiyo's Queer Cinema Syllabus: The Handmaiden
December:
most popular: Random QL Superlatives
favorites: Random QL Superlatives || QL Grievances
I loved giving awards to the most ridiculously niche moments in TV shows. I had so much fun coming up with the superlative categories!
It's funny because I feel like my writing really dropped off a lot this year. But doing this 2024 Recap was super enlightening for me to see that maybe I just do not understand the passage of time because I did actually write stuff every month!
You can go here to find your top 10 posts of each month.

“Hiroko runs into Ayaka at the bar she often goes to, and facing Ayaka's question, she gives a different answer.”

AYAKA is in LOVE with HIROKO Ep 3 Stray Thoughts
Last week, Ayaka decided to reconsider her strategy and tried to get closer to Hiroko by using tips from a coworker who plays BL games. Yuya has probably picked up on things, and made sure to praise Ayaka's efforts in front of others. We had a hilarious moment where everyone butted in on Ayaka's flirting attempt. Unfortunately, Hiroko has presumed that Ayaka has a thing for Yuya. Ayaka got Risa to teach her how to make a bento. Hiroko enjoyed it, but missed the seaweed heart.
I'm convinced Yuya knows and is helping.
Episode 3: A Double Bed With a Straight.
Yes, let's pick the most auspicious underwear. I love Risa and how she helps her friend.
That we always return to this bar is so important to me.
AYAKA, what is this fantasy.
I love how good Hiroko is at her job that clients feel the need to say it.
Oh there's some interesting gender stuff going on with the Chairman.
Flashback!Ayaka was definitely standoffish, but I also wanna go home at 5.
Ayaka praising the heavens that the "there's only one bed" trope came through is sending me.
Meditate the horny away!
Ayaka is really giving it her all and this seduction is bordering on sexual harassment. Please figure it out, Hiroko.
I hope Ayaka wakes up at maximum power.
Dammit!
Oh ho! A shopping date next week!
I remain obsessed with them. I love the line of knowing yourself but having to toe the line with others, and how it's safer to not assume queerness. It's so fun seeing Hiroko twist everything to downplay how attractive she finds Ayaka because she's only thought of her as straight. Ayaka being so obvious could be painful in another show, but letting us know that it's working on Hiroko was such a good choice.

Avor's Watchlist
I spent most of the last 24 hours rescuing my PC by connecting and configuring a new hard drive, which has put me a bit behind on the series’ I wanted to finish this week.
Tumblr media
Currently Airing
4 Minutes 4/8 It currently presents itself like I am watching the fixit fic alongside the source material and I am enjoying it.
Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko 7/8 The last two episodes were so uncomfortable and made no sense in how they handled Hiroko
Battle of the Writers 3/12 Silly pretty pictures
Blue Canvas of Youthful Days 2/12 This looked like it could be a solid Chinese University BL with all the alienation and abandonment typical of the genre
Cosmetic Playlover 4/8 Story overall moves too fast but also in-episode arcs feel miscalibrated alot of space is given to the setup and not much to the resolution
First Note of Love 2/12 I am hoping for more chemistry between the leads next time. They both look interesting
I Hear the Sunspot 8/12 Apparently the plot was moving to fast after EP6 because they made Maya the only active character in EP7 and that was very jarring
With You I Bloom 11/20
Mr Mitsuyas Planned Feeding 4/10 Slowly but surely the relationship develops. Acting and story are great the badly done seasonal changes are as funny as they are distracting though
Seoul Blues 1/8 Sukfilm has this very narrow interest in their queer stories. But they find more angles to look at it.
Sugar Dog Life 2/10
Takara’s Treasure 7/11 It gets better with each episode.
Tumblr media
What I am catching up on
Boytoy 5/13 Feels like an early BL
Like Love 2/15 I need to catch up Chinese Bls
Love in the Air 11/13 Someone explain to me why this is one show and not two
The Double 31/40
The Founder of Diabolism Donghua Season 1 4/15 I’m trying it out but if the other two seasons are harder to find I will probably not be inclined to search for them
The Princess Royal 19/40 the royal aspect of this couple makes this weaker than The Double
Unstoppable High Kick 21/167 Its fun but I cannot imagine watching more than two episodes a week
Word of Honor 13/36
Tumblr media
Finished in the last two weeks
Bad Guy 06.08.24 8/10 Another short series where Sukfilm examines the struggle between societal pressure and being true to your own desire.
Century of Love 08.08.24 7,5/10 A good core idea and story, music was a bit off and had few odd choices esp in ep 9
Knock Knock, Boys! 08.08.24 9/10 At bit slow at the start. A light hearted show that was suprisingly earnest in its potrayal of queer life
Meet You at the Blossom 15.08.24 7,5/10 Failed to maintain the comedic balance it set out with. Otherwise the Chinese costume BL it seemed to be from the start.
My Sweet Mobster 17.08.24 7/10 It had some good points on rehabilitation but overall standard fare with some lengths
Tumblr media
Dropped in the last two weeks
Bad Guy 8/50 11.08.24 -/10

Under normal circumstances, I don't think I would like Risa that much 😑 Also, Hiroko should really stop running away from Ayaka 😭😭😭
