Okay but real talk I kind of lowkey LOVED the Dangerous Liaisons (2022) show by Starz and I honestly have no idea what that says about me as a person (other than I love smutty fanfiction, for that show was absolutely and shamelessly an E-rated AU canon-divergence fanfiction of a beloved Indictment Of The French Aristocracy.)

This one is for the swifties.

I case you've been living under a rock, some Taylor Swift looks are on display at the Victoria & Albert Museum, and OF COURSE they have this yellow dress from the end of the Bejeweled video (I could not see the back, but I asume it is an English gown).

This dress seems to have been made for that video, and I couldn't find the costume designer credit, but I found a pair of dresses that could have been references for it (because OF COURSE I love yellow 18th century dresses): a robe à la française from the Kyoto Costume Institute and one designed by James Acheson for Dangerous Liaisons, and also seen in 1994 film Barcelona (see the full post about this dress from Recycled Movie Costumes here).

If you happen to be in London for the tour of any other reason and want to check it out, it is displayed in the 2nd level, in room 110, Prince Consort Gallery:

I am still working on all of this veeeeeeeeery slowly. 😇

Gif sets on my to-do list.  👩🏼‍💻

I want to do a S1 Mortel gif set of Victor & Luisa. That’s such a great coupling and I want to complement my S2 gif set of them. 😊 I need to re-do the S1 gifs I have already, tho, as most are under 2MB. Wish we were getting a S3.

.

Dangerous Liaisons 2022 on Netflix is an entertaining distraction I discovered a few weeks ago. I mainly enjoyed it for the 🔥 chem between the leads who play Celene & Tristan but it’s pleasant enough overall. I’ve already done a few gif sets on here searchable by characters names and actors names.

.

I’m chuffed about DC Titans ep 4x05 as it’s supposed to be heavily Dickkory. 💖

.

Currently gif’ing Cassie-centric gifs from ABC’s Big Sky cause she deserves all the love. 👩🏾‍🦱 This season has been pretty good so far. Tighter writing and intriguing main arc.

.

I have to finish up Industry S2 on HBOMax. It’s a good show though I am side-eyeing them for fumbling Harper & Rob after that strong S1 relationship foundation laid out for them. 📈

.

I want to do a few The Midnight Club gif sets. 🛏  Hoping there will be a S2 as I thought S1 was interesting with its foray into grief, death, hope, and acceptance but Netflix is notorious for being slow with most of its renewal / cancelation updates.

.

I’m still doing occasional Days of Our Lives and General Hospital soap opera gif sets but my main ships are either split up or angsty in the last year. 💘 

.

I also need to get back to my slow Hollyoaks’ McDean and Alles Was Zaehlt re-watches to make some gifs. 😘

top films of the year!!!

tagged by @standardlovers <3333 who actually has like Film Opinions that don't revolve around how silly/sexy the films were but anyway here's my films...

np tags for @themuseoftheviolets @stillagoodwitch @quillkiller @fxreflyes @star4daisy <3333

i’m also gonna do some comments like teddy did bc i never know how to shut up ever so…

1. Point Break (1991), the film of all films, i think i rewatched it like three times this year, its my favourite film of all time, i never shut up about it, it literally has it all - surfing, bank robbery, skydiving, keanu reeves, patrick swayze, an excessive amount of deaths, rampant homoeroticism etc etc

2. Mickey Blue Eyes (1999), another rewatch, another banger, hugh grant is his typical bumbling englishman but this time it involved the mafia!! which i love, and manslaughter and the fbi and it’s a bit ridiculous which, of course, is a necessity

3. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), i said it on my letterboxd and i’ll say it again - there is NOTHING like the love between a man and his razor blades, also helena bonham carter is SO sexy as always and there’s a lot of fun murder, my only note would be that they don’t sing the ballad of sweeney todd, which is clearly the best song from the musical, but otherwise very enjoyable

4. My Own Private Idaho (1991), what was in the water for keanu in 1991?? bc honestly this film is incredible, the campfire scene broke me into pieces, humpty dumpty style, and i’m still not back together again, also there are excellent insults in this eg. you starfish, you vile punk etc so i loved it a lot, and river phoenix is brilliant, are you kidding me??

5. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989), another keanu but this one is Overtly silly rather than just being silly by association (all keanu films are silly bc he’s a lovably awful actor but this one takes the cake), literally party on dudes like be excellent to each other, what more do you want me to say??

6. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), ohhh my god guys idk how i’d never watched this before but honestly just incredible, so so so SO good, my friends told me that i give riff-raff vibes which… i’ve chosen to take as a compliment bc after all… it’s astounding… time is fleeeting (picture me bursting into a choreographed musical number)

7. Dangerous Liaisons (1988), a banger, i watched cruel intentions like years ago but this is dare i say it… better??? there’s just something about a period drama that elevates everything, keanu was very sweet, i loved when he was all covered in blood and bedraggled, and just in general i love when women are evil and malicious

8. A Knight’s Tale (2001), this film was an experience… i do think it should’ve just been about the bros going on an adventure and doing a spot of jousting instead of having that romance plot which was kinda eh, but the soundtrack fucks and there were generally excellent vibes and heath ledger was fantastic

anyway that’s that i guess!!!

honourable mention for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) bc god that film goes so hard, and also But I’m a Cheerleader (1999) bc like come on now, need i say more??

[beardedmrbean]

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea announced Monday it’ll suspend a rapprochement deal with North Korea to punish it over its launches of trash-carrying balloons, even after the North said it would halt its balloon campaign.

Over several days, North Korea flew hundreds of balloons to drop trash and manure on South Korea in an angry reaction against previous South Korean civilian leafleting campaigns. On Sunday, South Korea said it would take “unbearable” retaliatory steps in response, before North Korea abruptly announced it would stop flying balloons across the border.

On Monday, South Korea’s presidential national security council said it has decided to suspend a 2018 inter-Korean agreement aimed at easing frontline animosities, until mutual trust between the two Koreas is restored, according to the presidential office.

The security council said the suspension would allow South Korea to resume military drills near the border with North Korea and take effective, immediate responses to provocations by North Korea. It said a proposal on the suspension will be introduced at the Cabinet Council on Tuesday for approval.

Observers say South Korea needs the deal’s suspension to restart blasting anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts, K-pop songs and outside news from border loudspeakers. They say such broadcasts have previously stung in the rigidly controlled North, where most of its 26 million people are not allowed official accesses to foreign news.

The 2018 agreement, reached during a brief period of reconciliation between then-liberal South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, require the Koreas to cease all hostile acts against each other, including propaganda broadcasts and leafleting campaigns.

But the accord doesn’t clearly state civilian leafleting should also be banned. That has allowed South Korean activists to continue to fly balloons to drop anti-Pyongyang leaflets, USB sticks with South Korean dramas and world news, and U.S. dollars in North Korea. Enraged over such leafleting campaigns, North Korea has previously fired at incoming balloons and destroyed a South Korean-built, unoccupied inter-Korean liaison office in the North.

The 2018 deal has already been in the danger of collapsing. Tension spiked after North Korea’s spy satellite launch last November prompted both Koreas to take steps in breach of the accord — South Korea resuming frontline aerial surveillance and North Korea restoring border guard posts.

Since last Tuesday, a total of about 1,000 North Korean balloons carrying manure, cigarette butts, scraps of cloth and waste paper have been discovered in various parts of South Korea. No hazardous substances were found, according to South Korea’s military.

On Sunday night, Kim Kang Il, a North Korean vice defense minister, said the North would stop its balloon campaign because it left the South Koreans with “enough experience of how much unpleasant they feel.” He said North Korea will fly balloons again if South Korean activists restart their own balloon activities.

Experts say North Korea’s balloon campaign, reportedly the first of its kind in seven years, is meant to trigger a divide in South Korea over its current conservative government’s tough policy on the North. Since 2022, North Korea has dramatically ramped up its weapons tests in what analysts call an attempt to bolster its nuclear capability and increase its leverage in future diplomacy with the U.S.
