I called it. 🥳🤡🕵 I knew Tan was New out for revenge and Phee played some kind of role in it. Alas that my hopes for Phee's loyalty were dashed, but oh well. That's what you get etc.

Thank you for making gifs of DFF and especially the explicit ones. I wonder, why did you cut Ta's ass from that gifset? I am just curious, won't tumblr let you post it? Or is there another reason?

Hahahahahaha thanks for the message!

Tumblr apparently has a personal vendetta against Ta's bare ass.

This had me cackling, sorry. But the sad reality is that I tried to upload the full set (ta's ass shot included) and tumblr hid the gifset even on my own dashboard, but then the moment I removed that particular gif it magically reappeared, so sadly, sacrifices had to be made.

For the gifmaker asks: 5, 26, 39 & 44. Thank you! 💜💜

Hi. Thanks so much for asking. Flower for you🌸

5. how long have you been making gifs?

This blog just turned one this month, so one full year of gif making. It's been a learning experience. Learning from people like you of course💜

26.   gif/gifset you’re most proud of

Proud might be a stretch but I'd have to say it's probably one of my DFF sets. This one is probably my favourite. I love every individual gif. I'm kinda proud of them because at least once per episode there was a gif that I really wanted to include but it was a challenge to colour.

39.   What is your most popular gifset?

It's this one from Kiseki: Dear To Me. I'd like to think it's because it's a great gifset but something tells me that's not really the reason. It's also technically the second most popular but I don't count the first one because of reasons.

44.   do you make gifs in order when making a gifset or just whichever you want to work on most first?

I make gifsets in a different way than most apparently. I don't do the colouring for individuals gifs. I do for the whole set all at once. While in video format. Only then do I turn them into gifs. It's a longer process but it's one I'm familiar with because I was an editor in a previous life. And I don't like to use ps for the whole process. I know it's not the most efficient but it's how I like it.

Thanks for stopping by. Before I go, would you consider reblogging this ask game at some point? I have so many questions I'd like to ask you. Just a suggestion of course.

Have a wonderful day💜

screencapping/giffing the bloody scenes from DFF after two weeks spent solely on 23.5 gifsets is a whole new level of experience

[pharawee]

hiiiiii have you seen the new dead friend forever trailer and will you gif it?? love your gifsets <3333333333333

Hi anon! Thank you so much!💜💜

I've seen it, and there's a suspicious lack of Ta Nannakun in this new trailer (compared the to teaser). I wonder what's going on there.

I've previously giffed the DFF teaser here and I'm planning on giffing the series as it airs but I'm not sure I'll find the time to make another gifset of the trailer. There's just too many shows on right now and I'm just too busy with work, I'm so sorry. 😭���

February 2024 Movies/Shows Wrap-Up

A little monthly (spoilery!) wrap-up of all the shows, movies, and shorts I’ve watched or am watching in February 2024, general thoughts, and ranking of them all.

Recommendation of the month(s): Honestly, this month involved me watching BLs which brought something new to the table (omegaverse, fantasy & thai legends, isekai-ed into a game, lawyers and crime) but none of them stood out to me as much as I’d hoped (my greatest wish is stronger, more coherent scriptwriting). Recommendation is try whichever concept seems most appealing.

Ranking

Love For Love's Sake = Midnight Runners (2017) = Laws of Attraction (2023) =  Pit Babe = The Sign = Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Average Rating: 6/10 [unfortunate that it’s just 6/6.5s considering I was hoping for more from Pit Babe/The Sign/Laws of Attraction]

MDL Updates - Added to Watchlist: 

A section because I’m curious about how many shows I decide to add to my Watch List a month and also the ratio of watching them:adding them.

Title MDL (year) - (date added to Considering or To Watch): initial reaction

Love for Love's Sake (2024): Positive reception and Cha Woongki is in it

Marry My Dead Body (2022) - 240202: I was watching Certified Noonas What's Coming Up in Feb 2023 and came across this, Taiwanese movie where dude marries a (male) ghost

Pit Babe (2023) - 240207: omegaverse racing show wouldn't necessarily draw me in but some Tiktoks I saw of eps 1-2 (esp of Charlie woahhh beautiful boy, I even reblogged on here which I very rarely do for shows I haven't watched yet) were interesting + lately, I've been seeing a lot of praise for it (esp that week when apparently Last Twilight Ep 12 disappointed a lot of people but had a really good episode for this show)

A Shop for Killers (2024) - 240210: I saw it on the Certified Noonas coming up in January I think? But I also saw it getting good impressions on the r/kdrama on-air threads + pocha playlist's initial impression + it has Lee Dong Wook, even though it's not like I watch all his shows or anything

A Killer Paradox (2024) - 240210: Been waiting for this since literally 2023 after I watched Strangers From Hell and saw in Certified Noonas' 2023 releases that it was from the same director + is an interesting concept

My Personal Weatherman (2023) - 240215: I don't know, maybe I just wanna see their dubcon bad bdsm dynamic. also, i keep reblogging horny gifsets cuz there are plenty for this show...

The Sign (2024) - 240215: The finale still isn't properly available yet so I don't really know how people will feel about the end but oh well, I'm gonna end up watching it either way because of how much people have been loving it

Chaser Game W (2024): Another Japanese GL and apparently it has toxic-ish workplace romance + post-breakup second chance romance yay. Also, the tweet where one of the characters is like “I’m a lesbian” *thunder* is hilarious

A Little Romance/Let's Wait for the Rain to Stop (2022) - 240219: A 14-minute Chinese bromance short from this tiktok that I saw

Dead Friend Forever - DFF (2024): I’ve been meaning to watch this since like ep 1 came out and I learned it was supposed to be horror-esque/slasher and seems like people have been loving it even more these past few eps. I’m actually so excited to check it out, I hope I love it and it rots my brain.

Love for Love's Sake (2024)

Country: South Korea

Release Dates: Jan 24, 2024 - Feb 1, 2024

Watch Via: paid, so :>

Watch Dates: Feb 1 - 2, 2024

Rating: 6/10

Overall Impression: It was cute, the concept was nice, the early 2 eps were Very promising and last ep was touching but the middle (esp 5-6) was quite meh for me. There was also a bunch of confusing stuff, esp in the second half, but I guess I won't try to investigate too much. It has people really talking and discussing and dissecting it though, which is a fun aspect.

Midnight Runners (2017)

Country: South Korea

Release Dates: Aug 9, 2017

Watch Via: Tubi (free)

Watch Dates: Feb 3, 2024

Rating: 6/10

Overall Impression: I came in with expectations of copaganda and bromance. Got the copaganda (I mean the real cops were useless af but) and bromance, as well at annoyance at these male-led shows with female victims where the story is solely about the men and they just dilly-dally through it all like why are you not upright enough to be like oh, I shouldn't waste time getting my ears cleaned by pretty girl rn, there's a 7-hour critical timeframe we were taught about, chop chop. Anyway, they were still passionate and did it, so good job but this really was just more about a male power fantasy of being the hero and beating up people and being the "saviour" because it was just about them 2 doing anything and we don't even get a moment of the girls after rescue and like 1 minute of them total before that. I can enjoy these sorts of action movies and like a good fight scene but I think I can be really averse to using crimes against women while centering men in the show (Midnight Runners, fuckass Manner of Death). I love Beyond Evil though, even though 2 male main characters were the focus in this story where a serial killer is killing women but I think that story maybe that story 1) properly showed the gravity of the crime against the women and 2) there wasn't a scene like the ear-cleaning parlor in this one and the sex scene in Manner of Death after they got that important laptop where I was supposed to either find it funny or sexy that they were doing this instead of focusing on the fucking investigation.

Agh, so many words and half of them aren't even about this movie

Laws of Attraction (2023)

Country: Thailand

Release Dates: Jul 15, 2023 - Sep 2, 2023

Watch Via: paid, so :>

Watch Dates: Feb 3 - 6, 2024

Rating: 6/10

Overall Impression: I really liked To Sir, With Love which was a lakorn and so was different than every other BL I've watched and was hoping I'd similarly love this one, which is also bringing something unique to the BL table. It started off really well for me, I thought Charn was such a fun (morally corrupt) character and was intrigued about what was going on. I liked the lesbians Maya and Rose as well ofc. However, I think toward ep 7 and 8, it kinda became very meh for me (that warehouse live stream scene not counting) because the mystery was too predictable/boring and thus had no tension, people kept making incredibly stupid decisions, and I wasn't attached to the characters enough to care/be emotional about all the wedding stuff. Nawin was a great addition in ep 7 though, so unexpected and fun. Unfortunate that the meh impression ended up being the last ones since that sticks with me more than liking it in the earlier eps.

Pit Babe

Country: Thailand

Release Dates: Nov 17, 2023 - Feb 9, 2024

Watch Via: iQiyi (paid, so :>)

Watch Dates: Feb 7 - 11, 2024

Rating: 6/10 [May 12, 2024 Update: Decreased by 0.5 stars when rerating shows I've watched in 2024: 6.5 -> 6]

Overall Impression: This show had everything: non-traditional alpha/alpha relationship, racecar competitions, x-men like superpowers, child trafficking, pseudo-incest if you think about it (from Kenta's side at least), and more. And it didn't have a super strong script, there were nonsensical elements and plot holes that didn't get addressed and things that happened to just move the plot along, but it was a fun watch nonetheless, both for the novelty and the entertainment factor. Babe was a very compelling character with his past and how he behaves in the present and his relationships with Tony/Way/people in general. Also helped that Pavel did a really good job with him and acted his ass off, there were quite a few emotional moments in there. I agree with some people's comments that I wish Charlie's actor Pooh as a better actor. And his character wasn't as developed or with depth as the other ones either, like in terms of emotions I guess. Although I really liked Charlie/Babe, my true ship winners might be Pete/Kenta in a Not Me ToddBlack fashion, to be honest, with Kenta as maybe my favourite character (2nd is Babe). They gave us like 2 tiny hints that they might know each other and waited until literally last 10 mins of episode 11 out of 13 to lay out their history. They have an interesting friends (-> brothers/crush) -> enemies -> allies again at the very end dynamic where I think that they could become lovers post-canon. Really had me writing a fic idea in my notes app after my few months of no drive to write.

240215: I'm not starting Only Friends already because I wanna take some time to write my Pete Babe fic and if I start a new show, I'll stop writing it. However, I was in dire need of some BL and ended up rewatching just bits of Ghost Host Ghost House ep 4 after I saw a gifset on here, then watched like 2 mins of Bed Friend cat Uea and then Eps 13 - 15 of Addicted Heroin. Man, once again, 2016 Addicted Heroin cutoff must've actually been so fucking tragic. Like I'm only rewatching parts of it nearly a decade later + watched the Stay With Me remake and still it's devastating the way it just ends, I can't imagine how people who were watching it in real time coped. How has nobody leaked it even asdfghjkl Also ended up reading chapters 96 - 135 because I was like hm maybe I wanna read more but the book is A Lot, so stopped lol

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

Country: USA

Release Dates: June 7, 2005

Watch Via: TV

Watch Dates: Feb 19, 2024

Rating: 6/10 [May 12, 2024 Update: Decreased by 0.5 stars when rerating shows I've watched in 2024: 6.5 -> 6]

Overall Impression: This is fun and finally I will understand what people mean when they reference this movie (although I knew that it was about hitmen/spies who were married and didn't know the other was a spy as well and that's pretty accurate). Had one of my favourite tropes of having guns/knives pointed at each other and ample chance to kill the other person but they Can't!!! Todd/Black was my original for this but then we got Vegas/Pete, Pete/Kenta and now this movie which came out like 2 decades before these other shows lol Anyway, fun but not something I will think about again + the characters aren't developed enough for me to care.

The Sign (2024)

Country: Thailand

Release Dates: Nov 25, 2023 - Feb 11 (24), 2024

Watch Via: Youtube

Watch Dates: Feb 20 - 24, 2024

Rating: 6/10 [May 12, 2024 Update: Decreased by 0.5 stars when rerating shows I've watched in 2024: 6.5 -> 6]

Overall Impression: I think I liked the first few eps and the potential of the series and the possibilities than I liked the actual series oof. Since everybody freaking loved this, I also had high expectations. I thought there would be more focus on the romance and fantasy and past lives aspect and less on the cop activity. I feel like they didn't choose the correct things to show on screen. I think most of the fight scenes and stuff were confusing and not choreographed very well, and some moments needed to have more time dedicated to them or have more gravitas to them. However, some moments were just shot/directed so beautifully. I enjoyed the parallels between Tharn and Phaya or their current life and past life. It shows the cyclical nature of Phaya and Tharn's lives, and it would've been even more impactful if we saw more of their past lives (their OG life or other reincarnations). Highly doubt I'm gonna think of the characters again, I somehow stopped being attached to them about halfway through - probably related to the fact that I liked the first few eps (half?) of the show better. They tried so many things, but I don't think they satisfyingly merged them or chose the correct things to focus on on-screen.

I’m not watching anything in the last week of February because I seriously need to study for this exam and can’t have a show distracting me but am also in such desperate need of a BL, so I skimmed some stuff.

240226: Skimmed parts of History 3: Trapped’s last few episodes and it continues to hit. agh, it’s just so good. Also skimmed a bit of Semantic Error middle episodes but not as much as Trapped

240228: Skimmed some middle bits of the Our Dating Sim movie, I really need to rewatch the full thing in year cuz I think it’s possible for it to go from 6.5 -> 7

It’s a shame that I only watched 6 things this month (and 2 of those were movies that) because I had a week of break in the middle from university. Still, it’s fine because I used that week to write a fic after a couple months instead, so I’m not too sad. And since the Thai BLs were pretty like plot-involved (esp The Sign and Laws of Attraction), it makes sense that I wasn’t just jumping from show to show.

I have a delicious idea for an edit/gifset of dff and I CAN'T WAIT to get to it

[markmybirds]

I try to live in a world where I don't yuck people's yums even if I don't care for a show. Also I find that if I am going to talk about something in the drama space, it usually has to do with singular actors and proven controversies that show their true colours.

For example on dramas: Not the biggest fan of DFF. And it's not because of petty things it has to do with how the show itself went. I liked maybe 2 episodes in the entire show. Ok more like 1.5 episodes in the entire show. But really even if someone doesn't like something, doesn't mean it's not someone else's gold. There are themes I can say that DFF covers that should be covered in media. I know what it feels like to be on MDL (especially via Thai BL) and read negative comments. I was deterred from some dramas I actually thought I'd vibe with until I came to Tumblr and enjoyed the gifsets and went from there to watch them. Shows like: Manner of Death, A Tale of a Thousand Stars, Ai Long Nhai and LITA. I think people should buffer in their tags when something is a critique. But the algorithm would still share them. I like seeing hot takes and critiques though! Like what went wrong, how it could have worked better in such a ways and such but as long as it doesn't take up the main sphere of the fandom. But yeah negative hate comments get hefty. I know some of the Two Worlds negative comments really infuriated me. Like putting down Nat for being young when he's acted longer than some of the older (in actor's age not in duration of partnerships) couples. Also people being blind to MaxNat's natural chemistry. (Who have consistently made me, a married demisexual woman, blush). Or like the comments on 1000 Years Old in general, I found Tumblr was a safer place than Youtube or MDL for that specific drama. (I LOVE 1000 Years Old). I realized the same thing you did, and I loved Love Sea's first episode! A lot in fact. But I know so many people hate on GMMTV and MMY dramas. And it's because people don't care for grey-to-black morals generally or they don't like dramas that are too laid back. I think, personally, it's a case-by-case if I wish to ignore/block/remove someone commenting negatively. If I feel that I can't stand any of their points of views or that their POVs are dramatically consistently more negative than positive. I ignore and don't dedicate interests in their opinions. IDK why people hate-watch things and talk about it outloud? I will let the fans enjoy it and I will be quiet or I just won't watch the thing I don't like. But I know I personally have worded a thing or two about DFF on my tumblr/a public forum. I know most of them had to do with the controversial characters in the drama but.... They were made to be controversial so people could talk. And it wasn't out of malice. Though.. I did.. uhm.. Rip some comments a part that were trying to muddy Barcode's personal reputation for things Non did in the series. Must protect the Sunflower Boy. I think like when it comes to specific comments. If they are commenting and are being very uneducated or just hating out of spite. I will tell someone to check themselves. But otherwise if I think it's just for clout. I weigh the pros and cons. I have blocked some users because of their consistent shit-posting. In a way though, it was comments that were overwhelmingly negative that took me out of the major QL scope. And also because I didn't find many of the happy fans, I wasn't looking in the right spaces, and I felt lonely. I silently watched QL dramas to myself, and quietly liked and gushed over gifsets on Tumblr. It wasn't until Wardog came back to the Asian Drama Realm (I got her into a Chinese Xianxia drama--- Love Between Fairy and Demon) and then she fell into the Thai BL scene with KP, LITA, Not Me and Cutie Pie, that I returned to watch what I missed. (Minus the few BLs I watched on my own like Manner of Death etc).

Trash-watches and what do you do with your negative opinions?

As Love Sea has started airing I've seen a couple of people posting about it from a very negative point of view. It seems like they already dislike MAME so I'm confused as to why they're even watching it and engaging with the content. It's made me think a lot about negative opinions in fandom spaces and I have a lot of questions.

Firstly, people are of course allowed to feel however they want about shows they're watching and post about them however they want. The truth of people in general is that we have very different experiences in life and that colours the way we perceive media. So when MAME writes about trauma and consent I'm not surprised that some people struggle with finding parts they like in her shows.

It has, however, put me in a dilemma, because I like MeMindY and I'm pretty sure I'm going to like Love Sea as well.

As such I'm not very interested in reading posts about the show that are almost entirely negative, especially when the person who's writing the post is clearly watching a completely different show than me.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for critiquing a show and thinking about the content critically and examining why a show is making you feel bad or angry. The point where I struggle with negative posts is when the poster is seeing bad intentions in places where I very much don't or have hangups with things that to me seem harmless in the specific situation. This is not me saying I'm right and they're wrong. We're really just approaching shows from very different perspectives and coming to very different conclusions.

I've been trying to figure out what to do about those posts and blogs and I'd love to hear any and all thoughts you have on this matter or comments on what you usually do when this happens.

Do you just live with seeing the negative posts on your dash and scroll past them without reading? Do you unfollow people? Do you block people?

This has also made me think a lot about posting negative comments and content in fandom spaces. Like why do you watch these shows when you know you aren't going to like the show from the beginning? And then why do you post about it extensively when you have almost entirely negative things to say about it? Do you guys enjoy making/reading hate-/trash-watches? And if you do, why do you enjoy it? I am honestly curious and won't judge.

Where's the line between useful critique and hateful comments? Are there situations where negative comments in fandom should just be kept to yourself? Should you stay out of the official tags if you only have negative things to say about a show? What do you guys do when you dislike a show?

I'm just so very curious about how people feel about this kind of content. Content like hate-/trash-watches or other ways of engaging with media in a negative way.

[live-from-flaturn]

Ngl DFF has been super triggering the last couple eps, so I'm gonna take a break til the show is all done and spoiled via safely filtered gifsets.

Plz do not tag me in ur DFF stuff!

Thank u for coming to my post.
