#one is good

I LIKE this, Thai BL, waaaay more than this, Japanese BL! City of Stars has a lot going on and is a far superior story than that of, Although I Love You, and You?

(And, that title! Is that just a bad translation?)

I feel that if they hadn’t made, Although I love you, and you?, there would be nothing lost.

I feel ridiculous for having hung in and watching it for THIS LONG, now I have to stick in there until the end, hoping there’s some validation for the creation of this series.

*****************************

In City of Stars, although I wasn’t enthralled with the casting, at first, the stars ARE pretty decent actors, I think, and they carry off their roles well.

The series started off cute, funny, without many conflicts, and with some, clever writing, for the most part.

At episode 5, they’ve added a transgender woman as one, of the 3, main leads’ love interests (Namsom), and Feuang made the statement that Kor loves the person, it doesn’t matter what gender she is.

I love the subliminal messaging. At least it’s a series with some important opinions, while making their statements with finesse & humor.

There was a sign up, when Krom and Kor are at the mall, stating, “Women’s Feminine Hygiene Products Should be Free.” Something we’re fighting for here, especially for women in prison. Nice, little, subliminal, political touch—I LIKE it. As well as stating that transgender people are more accepted in their country, today! You, damn well, couldn’t say THAT, in America, today!!! Sadly!!!

CITY OF STARS may, well, be the best production, yet, from Star Hunter Entertainment.

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

People will claim to be a fan of some thing and then hate all of the themes and motifs and story lines and plot lines and protagonists and antagonists like man I don’t think that you actually like it here

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

Something something, living rent free in my mind and such, anyway I love them.

you'll get the urge as an artist or a writer to say out loud the things you're worried about "the proportions are off" "kind of out of character" "i'm not good at summaries" "didn't get as much detail as i wanted" "i made a mistake and here's how" and that's the self-conscious part of your brain telling you "it's bad and if you don't tell them you know it's bad then they'll think you're stupid" but you've got to ignore that little voice and pretend you think it's good or else that little voice is going to ruin your life
