last song: been listening to hollowheart and being melancholic a lot recently, its still so wild to me to just suddenly have a new worlds song after 10 years and be blasted back to the bittersweet nostalgia of being a teenager (someone should make a song about this). also weve been trying to learn to play our bass again recently after not touching it for like 4 years and hollowheart (and goodbye to a world) are the songs weve figured out how to play to so far

last movie: the other night we were bored and browsing random movies to watch and picked werewolves (2024), it was weird?? like it was almost a zombie movie but with werewolves?? the werewolves were practical costumes which was cool in a world where most things are cgi, but they looked kinda uncanny and definitely like costumes. ALSO THEY HAD NO TAILS WHICH WAS WEIRD AND VERY VERY WRONG. it was honestly a really mid movie but a couple people got torn in half in a satisfying way and there was a little black girl who kinda looked like us so it was alright

currently watching: uhhhhhhh i finished arcane a few weeks ago, and dandadan ended last week so uhhhhh, ig we watched the first episode of squid game season 2 last night. they put people in like, straight up kink gags???? it was a very weird detail

currently reading: fuck im ngl i dont read that much ik i need to, i mean ig unless manga counts in which ive been reading dandadan and chainsaw man week to week for a while now, and i need to check back up on the countless yuri manga i caught up to and had to wait for new chapters to come out....

current obsession: i dont think i have a Specific and Defined obsession rn? ive got my general interests but no current Hyperfixation. im like a knight with no princess to protect, a maid with no mistress, an angel with no goddess, meat with no blood. i wander aimlessly to find what will fill my soul, but for now i have no purpose, no place to belong. there is a drought, not a single drop of rain has fallen for eons. the world is barren and dry, devoid of life and hope. lol im sure somethin will stick its fingers in my brain and consume my life essence soon enough :P

uhhhhhhhh ill tag @gardengnosticator

The sensuality in love and leashes made crave things in dramas I know we're never gonna get, I'm not talking about sex scenes the show didn't even go beyond a kiss, I mean the intimacy and sensuality of a touch a kiss etc the most romantic thing can be fingers interlacing together, a kiss to the neck just small things that show longing and yearning in a physical way they elevate a love story so much more but kdramss even when they give us kisses usually it's the grand sweeping moments with cameras whirling around and that's not what makes a great kiss they could do so much more without ever showing skin if they don't want to I'm thinking about the almost kiss and hand flex on pride and prejudice things like that someone inhaling someone's smell idk ane just showing people wanting to be close to someone in that way I'm rambling lmfao I hope I made some kind of point across also Netflix should think about investing in romances not just thrillers and zombie shows romance books sell as much as crime and scifi/fantasy books combined, romance is what made Korean dramas such a big phenomenon in the first place, it's what made Bridgerton their biggest show ever until squid game, it sells almost more than anything in the right circumstances but as usual since it's mostly men in the higher positions no matter the evidence to its success it will always be looked down on and not invested as much in if at all bc it's something mostly women enjoy and things we enjoy are surely inferior and not as important...

oh my god you're so right!!! no i totally get what you mean like the whole appeal and tension came from them doing bdsm without actually having sex and it was just so electrifying i cannot even form words rn.... ngl kdramas were always appealing to me because i did get tired of american shows always hyperfixating on sex. there were so many sexual innuendos and just unnecessary sex scenes in general that did nothing for the show that kdramas were a breath of fresh air. but yeah sometimes they are way too mild like 30 something people doing the fish lips kissing and calling it a day. i remember watching days when they kissed for the first time (which was actually one of the best kisses ever) and inguk did that little thing when he almost went back for more after they finished...now that was cinema!!!! or the finger flicking scenes in vincenzo. or when chayoung hugged him and he had to grab onto the chair to restrain himself!!! like it's about the tension and the longing!!

and yes as much as i enjoy gore I'd really love to see a really really really good romance. and you're right romance is always looked down upon because with the action/gorey stuff they can appeal to more people and bring in more views i guess but what about us... romance is the stepping stone, romance kdramas walked so these others could run!! anyways i really hope we get something good this year
