Love Lasts Forever (2020)
Tumblr media
AKA: An Incurable Case of Love
This drama is about a 23-year-old rookie nurse, Sakura Nanase, who is in love with a 31-year-old experienced cardiologist, Tendo Kairi, who is kind and dedicated to his patients but dubbed "The Devil" by his coworkers. Shenanigans ensue as Sakura and her cohort learn the tricks of the trade, and she attempts to win the heart of The Devil.
A romance that passes the Bechdel test: 100/10
Funny and caring side characters: 10/10
Episodes that made me cry: 😭😭😭
Bright happy character meets tsundere romance: 100000/10 💗
This drama is perfect for anyone looking for a medical or romance drama. The drama doesn't just focus on the romance or the medical, it's a good and interesting balance of both. Typically, I find the tsundere personality type really annoying, but Tendo was very well-written and well-played.

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

WFA is killing me.
First, I wanted a fight between Selena and Tim verse Mr. Freeze. That pissed me off a little. So, what happened was that Joker let Freeze out of Arkham hoping to get Freeze to work with him. Freeze didn't. I'm not sure what Feeze told him, honestly. But... Whatever.
Okay, now we get to the good stuff. There's this part where Steph is fighting robots, and she says, "Don't tell Batman, but I'm regretting skipping cardio day. I will never complain about those stupid training schedules ever again." I don't know why, but I loved this and I burst out laughing. Then Calculator says he's gonna kill them, and Jay is like "Been there, done that..." And that's funny.
That's the only good stuff. This one started out pretty bad, but it's fine. I got Steph and Jay.

I finished volume 2!
Overall enjoyable read, though it does kind of the same thing that happened in the first volume where I felt like the bulk of the action/suspense is in the last third of the book. I REALLY enjoyed the twist to the kidnapping plot and I’m glad we finally got a glimpse into the infamous world of the SubMerged. I like learning more about them in general, finding out that some ARE as terrible and horrifying as other characters make them out to be, while also showing that many of them are just normal people and not the monstrous Rubes some like to imagine. Honestly some of my favorite characters so far are Submerged (Kurtis and Adil) and I like them for very different reasons!
This series focuses a lot more on political intrigue, espionage, and mind-game-type-stuff, rather than fast-paced action like the Demonata or Cirque du Freak books. Not necessarily a bad thing, but if you’re expecting the Archibald Lox series to have a similar feel to those series, it’s very different.
The characters and the bizarre world and world-building are what sell the series for me. There’s also the ongoing questions of just WHO or WHAT is Archie exactly? Why can he do all these things that supposedly only Merge people can do, and some things that even they can’t? I have theories at this point but I won’t say exactly what until all is revealed. (If I’m right I can be like “HA! I knew it all along!”) There’s also the looming threat of the series’ Big Bad, Old Man Reap, and the mysteries of the Lost Zone and the sphere of the Departed.
As of typing this I’m starting the final volume, The Exiled King, and MAN I’m eager to see how this all wraps up.
Tumblr media
So I’ve been reading the Archibald Lox series from Darren Shan.
Tumblr media
I’m almost through with the second volume (The Kidnapped Prince) and I’m not sure why these books seem to drag so much in the middle? (Happened also during the Empress of Suanpan arc in the first volume.) Like maybe it’s establishing details that’ll be important later (as has happened many times in Shan’s books) or it’s just more world-building, but particularly in Kidnapped Prince I just could NOT get into the Grop Tourney stuff. I know some people who’ve read the books like Grop so maybe it’s just the fact I dgaf about sports stuff? But idk I feel like a good fourth or so of the book could have been taken out and summed up more succinctly.
That being said, I am enjoying the books. While the series hasn’t really gripped me in the same way The Demonata or Cirque du Freak has (though I don’t think ANYTHING could have as strong a hold on me as the latter) I am still enjoying it. I think that may be because it’s just so different from Shan’s other stuff. It’s much more fantasy-based than horror-based and a lot less death and gore (not that I dislike fantasy but it seems like Shan excels at writing horror more). But I do like the surreal-ness of the Merge and I think there’s a lot of neat world-building.
As far as the story goes, when stuff ramps up, it REALLY ramps up. Like Archie’s kidnapping and interrogation in Kidnapped Prince? Chef’s kiss. The ever-growing mystery of why Archie can do what he can do and characters like Inez and Cal and the SubMerged are also real driving forces in making me continue to read. And I guess if it’s holding my interest, than the story is doing its job! I’m eager to see where it goes.
Also idk if I’ll do fanart for the series or not (if I do I’m into Cal and Adil 😙).

5 stars
This was an AMAZING book. I read it when I was extremely sick so unfortunately I didn't write a review but I would 100% recommend it. It's neo-noir and takes descendants of certain gods/monsters/mythological beings certain powers.
It follows the main character who is a descendant of the three fates, so her sisters and her have powers. She's the Cutter, the one who can cut the strings of Fate. I loved how she used her powers as like a private detective. I loved the messy dynamics of sisterhood and family. The discussion of fate and destiny too.
It was so refreshingly unique and just so well done. Can't wait for the sequel.

before I sleep, here is my definitive ranking on all the NPMD songs and some rambles on why I placed them there - also the ranking is based on how much I vibe with them (music production and lyricism have different rankings)
1. Hatchet Town (aka the hatchetfield trilogy theme song like this tune perfectly encapsulates the chaos Hatchetfield has to go through with every Starkid project pos-2018 and I love it - kinda wish it was a number that is more integrated with the plot with the kids tho BUT I REALLY DID LIKE that this melody was quite prominent in the other songs too)
2. High School is Killing Me (I've watched many teen centered musicals and believe me when I say that this song is one of, if not, the best introduction numbers out there for this genre - also it's a really great opening hook for a show)
3. Nerdy Prudes Must Die (FUCKING AMAZING HONESTLY - amazing way to REALLY re-establish a villain back from the dead and to establish the main theme for the nerds here: "I'm Not A Loser" (tho i fucking wish that motif was used a bit more))
4. Just For Once (everyone cheer for Lauren Lopez flexing not just her high tier soprano skills, but also how amazing of a fucking actor she can be like the concept of this song is quite layered and to pull it off both comedically and emphatically takes great lyrical and acting prowess)
5. The Summoning (a well-anticipated onstage introduction to all 5 of the LiB that balances out befuddling neon-entertainment with genuine fucking menace)
7. Cool As I Think I Am Reprise (A FUCKING GENIUS REPRISE I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW COOL I FIND THEM RECONTEXTUALIZING THE OG SONG AND IF I LOVED YOU TO FIT THE SITUATION AND BOTH OF THE CHARACTERS GROWTH. LIKE IN TERMS OF THEMATIC IMPLICATIONS WITH CHARQCTER DEVELOPMENT, THIS SONG AND ITS SCENE WOULD BE THE TOP)
6. If I Loved You (I think this song could be a bit more honestly like I know how much Starkid has explored Steph and Pete's relationship in their other projects and I was really hoping that they would have it more portrayed here - however the song is a bop nonetheless and it matches neatly with their themes and the harmonies are top tier. I placed this higher than the next just due to my personal bias like I really do like the song)
8. Dirty Dudes Must Die (A GREAT TWIST THAT MAKES ME WANT ANOTHER MUSICAL ABOUT GRACE CHASITY'S DERANGED SELF - also the new context of the song Grace is reprising here makes her a villain even scarier than MAX of all people but that's just me)
9. Literal Monster (A very catchy beat and well structured song that provides a good introduction to a jock-bully with the god complex. also kinda foreshadowing to nerdy prudes must die)
10. Cool As I Think I Am (the instrumentation reminded me of Dear Evan Hansen ngl fjsjd but it really does sound like an I-Want song from a teen-musical which is of course what they are going for - it sounds very nice and earnest though and I loved how it was utilised in the reprise. However I still fucking wish that the I'm Not A Loser motif was used more)
11. Dirty Girl (look I'm sorry for ranking this quite low on the list but like there is no fucking way I'm using this as bait to lure other people in like they'd be scared away I'm sorry fjdjs BUT I love how Will and Angela perform this though like top tier starkid performances ever - its not just what I would listen to on repeat personally jgjdjs)
12. Go Go Nighthawks! (This one gets plus points because of FUCK YOU CLIVESDALE GO GET FUCKED. otherwise its nice and cheery and perfectly shows how happy everyone is without Max but um I kinda wish it could be a bit more especially in terms of showing how happy the other nerds are now that Max is gone but that's just me)
13. Bully The Bully + Bury The Bully (Look I couldn't decide which was better like they both are the same melodies so like gjxjs these two are cute though and I liked seeing the 5 kids bonding in Bully The Bully since we don't get that many scenes with them)
14. The Best Of You (the pop-punk happy number is a staple of teen-centered musicals and it does really sound nice - just isn't that much of a standout compared to the others.)

"Foliage, Flowers, and Feelings, Oh My!" in Step By Step Ep. 8.
The flower motifs were rampant throughout all of episode eight, more so than the majority of any of the previous episodes. Maybe I was made aware because Jeng brought attention to them while he was preparing for his date, ahem, market research with Pat this time around, but man, everywhere I looked on screen, I could only focus on the flowers.
Since a lot of the shots that had the flowers were blurred, take my analysis with a heavy amount of skepticism. Not to mention, my discussion of the flowers and their meanings are deriving from a Western point of view; flowers and their significance can differ greatly between cultures. [Specifically my understanding derives from my Latin-American and American upbringing with the meanings behind certain flowers and any research I came upon, so if you have any better cultural understanding that is more applicable, feel free to sound off].
There was so much imagery with flowers in this episode that I'm going to attempt to organize this analysis with specific scenes where I, personally, could not help but immediately notice the flowers and become hyper-aware of them.
Love Blooms Best at a Restaurant
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
While we see flowers and plants in the first quarter of the episode, they're typically at the very corners of the foreground, heavily blurred, or rather small, where it's presence is easily forgotten (i.e., the tiny plant on Put's living room table.) The plants and flowers really start to become a greater motif after Jeng requests the first restaurant to fill the empty space that he rented out with bouquets.
Now there are so many different flowers that make up the several bouquets that are brought in by the restaurant staff, so I'll briefly mention the most commercially known and their significance, while delving a little deeper into the flowers that were a bit harder to identify but that I strongly believe are in the bouquets.
First, the most obvious of the flowers were the red and pink roses that make a portion of the vase that is put at the table where Jeng and Pat sit. Pink roses typically take on the significance of admiration and gratitude, while red roses are generally used to signify love and passion. Hidden behind those, which we are only able to catch a glimpse at in far-away shots before the vase gets turned, are yellow snapdragons. There is a longstanding belief that when you hide a snapdragon, it's going to make you appear to be enchanting and amiable; this often results with the snapdragon being correlated with good-luck and deception.
Meanwhile behind Jeng, there is a huge bouquet that is made up of pink lilies, and what I believe to be, but not 100% sure, pink orchids. Pink lilies are generally used to depict new love, friendship, and admiration, while pink orchids are generally for thoughtfulness, refinement, and mature charm.
The flowers here seem to be very representative of both Jeng's mentality and the current state of relationship that Pat and Jeng have. Prior to this, Pat had gone from cancelling their meeting (destroying any hope that Jeng had) to asking if he was still up to going out (restoring it slightly, thank you Ae and Beam.) Jeng has made it apparent that he admires Pat for his talent and work ethic, praising Pat when he does a job well done, but this admiration has gone far beyond "you're a great worker", which Pat is completely unaware of. For Pat, this is just another work event that he is doing as a favor to his boss, without knowing that Jeng wishes is more than just work and how much effort he put into making this "not-date" "date-like". While deception has an incredibly negative connotation, in a way this is applicable here, this is Jeng's pretense to spend more time with Pat outside of work.
Jeng has been treading the line of boss and loverboy lightly, because he is more than aware of the consequences that could occur due to his attraction and feeling towards Pat. So he does what he does best, delve into work and find a way to incorporate it so he can spend some quality time with Pat, even if Pat isn't fully aware of his intentions, which is why it catches Jeng off-guard when Pat points out how much this outing resembles a date. This is a new chapter that Jeng is trying to navigate and breach, even without fully knowing the way to get there. He's learning how Pat ticks, when Pat is silent and what it likely means, and how much pain and burden Pat carries, even when its unnecessary. He's seen Pat at some of his worst moments, at his tactless moments, and he's falling for all sides of him, even if Pat is fully oblivious at this point. And Jeng is so proud of himself, when he gets the restaurant to look just right for when Pat arrives.
Running Leads the Heart to the Silver Trumpet Tree
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The second full shot of flowers in this episode was after Pat and Jeng narrowly made it out from running into Chot, specifically after they finally came to a stop after sneakily running away from him, in order to not be caught fraternizing outside of the workplace. When they finally come to a stop, Silver [Yellow] Trumpet Tree [Tabebuia Aurea], also known as Lueang India (Yellow India) in Thai, cover the background when Pat and Jeng have finally come to a halt. While it can be easily mistaken with the Golden Shower Trees, which I believe is the national flower of Thailand, the Yellow Trumpet trees are as common but are distinct in the clusters that they form.
While the there is no distinct meaning or symbolism behind Silver Trumpet Tree, the Trumpet flowers, generally, have a more positive interpretation on its symbolism. Yellow Trumpet flowers tend to be referred to the Angel's Trumpet, which really leads to the auspicious significance that is attached. Depending on the culture that is interpreting the flower, the significance of the trumpet flower can range from prosperity and good luck to new beginnings.
Here, we find ourselves with Pat and Jeng running off in an attempt to avoid being seen by Chot. Jeng had just gone through the effort of making renting out the prior restaurant and decorating with as many bouquets as possible in attempt to make the non-date, date-adjacent. Yet, while this plan seems to be partially ruined, I think Jeng should be thanking Chot. For the first time, they held hands and weren't letting go. While Put and Pat may have been balanced physically, Pat was always being left behind by Put, even if it was unintentional. Put was the one leading their relationship, taking the first steps to enter and exit out of Pat's life, yet in comparison with Jeng, while Jeng may tower over Pat, he has always been the one to push Pat rather than pull, this was the first time that he was pulling Pat with him. And let me just say, Jeng was not the first one to let go. Their relationship is evolving.
Pat had cancelled meeting with Jeng, after not feeling well about breaking up with Put. Put was his first love, he was the one that had been abandoned, but it's still difficult to come to terms that the love and man you had idealized prior was no longer the man that you were in love with, no matter how hard you attempt to fix together the pieces that had remained. Yet, instead of wallowing in the pain, Pat reached out again to Jeng and asked him if they could still go out, even though he was the one the previously opted out. If Pat being proactive, even when clueless, isn't a step into a new beginning, I don't what is—
Barriers made visible with Peonies and Peperomia
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After running away from Chot, they found themselves in a new restaurant, one that partakes in the tradition of plate smashing. Throughout this who sequence, we have the the ornate bouquet in the background that is creating a visual barrier, dividing the restaurant in two sides. In doing so, we're also seeing a rather physical divide between Jeng and Pat. Now I'm sure there are color theories that play into this, with the hues of purple at play, but we don't get a closer, albeit still blurred, look of the flowers until Pat gets up to smash his own plate.
There are two plants that I'm almost certain that are making up the parts of the bouquet. First, what I believe to be red peonies, specifically closed darker red peonies, not yet fully bloomed. Second, it seems that the foliage that is being used to fill the bouquet is watermelon peperomia.
Now Peonies are one of the flowers that have a huge variety of origin stories, so I'm going to stick with the Greek origin story of the Red Peonies since they were in a Greek-themed restaurant (where they're smashing plates to throw away their bad luck). In a water-downed version of the origin story, the red peony is tied to a nymph named Paeonia. Paeonia was incredibly beautiful and attracted the attention of Apollo, resulting in a lot of flirtatious exchanges between the two of them. As they were flirting, Paeonia becomes aware of Aphrodite's presence and turns deep red. Out of spite, Aphrodite turns Paeonia into a red peony. As a result, red peonies are typically understood as a sign of bashfulness, passion, and love.
On the other hand, watermelon peperomia, or more generally, peperomia tends to take on the significance of hope and in certain areas of Latin America, are given as gifts to say that 'Everything will be alright.'
First off, this whole sequence of scenes took me incredibly long to get through just because it felt so intimate both due to Jeng's dilemma in confessing and Pat's own internal fight against his misery.
This whole portion was filled with different points where Pat unintentionally gave Jeng openings. From ordering the Lovers' Special to Pat telling Jeng directly, "I prefer the time that we were nothing like a boss and subordinate." The frankness that Pat was giving Jeng, even if he was a bit tipsy, renewed Jeng's hope that just maybe Pat shares some of the same feelings that he does. As @respectthepetty mentioned here Jeng keeps having an internal battle with his love for Pat this whole episode, so the frankness that Pat is gifting Jeng is like a crumb trail that Jeng is more than happy to swallow up. Giving him a semblance of hope, that just maybe, they could go back to who they were before they met as boss and employee.
Which is what leads into the scene of Jeng's imaginary confession to Pat. This whole series of scenes we're given a glimpse into Jeng's internal monologue, and as @shouldiusemyname stated here, so much of Jeng's internal conflict deals with the uncertainty of where he stands with Pat, because even though he's doing everything to subtly show his interest, Pat is rather oblivious. Throughout this whole dinner, Jeng was sending smoke signals that Pat kept putting out. It's palpable that this is out of Jeng's comfort zone, but he is still trying. Yet, he sees the glimpses of pain that Pat has on his shoulder, and instead of wishing for his own happiness or for Pat's love, instead he wishes that everything will get better for Pat. He, very literally, smashes away Pat's sadness.
Moss my heart and hope to die
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If I thought Pat and Jeng were surround by plants and flowers before, when they made their way to the speakeasy, they were not only in a presumed queer bar that Jeng frequents [@chicademartinica reaction really mirrored mine here], but they were surrounded by foliage in every room of this bar. The main distinction between the plants here and in other scenes is that the vast majority of the plants in the bar seemed to be non-flowering. Yet, the greenery was always present, either in an actual planter or even as a mural on the walls and beams of this bar.
Now there were so many leafy greens here, that it would be rather difficult to even attempt to pinpoint what plants are where during what time, but I will say the Spanish Moss, that was adorning the exterior of the speakeasy entrance and framing the right side of the shot, was very apparent.
There's a couple legends that come with the significance of Spanish Moss, but the most popular one derives from Spanish legend. According to Spanish lore, a Spanish explorer [some times told to be a pirate] had attempted to 'buy' a beautiful native woman. Obviously, she feared him and ended up running away, attempting to flee his grasp. He pursued her and in a final attempt to escape, she climbed high up into a tree. In his attempt to capture her he follows her up the tree, but becomes entangled in the tree and dies there, the only thing that remained was his 'grey beard' that continued to grow and spread throughout the tree.
Spanish moss, when used spiritually, is typically used to promote protection for the home, as a sign of security, and a general promise of protection. While some may have a preconceived notion of the plant being parasitic, they are also known for the healing qualities that they are able to provide.
Jeng had a specific purpose when he took Pat along to the bar that he frequents with Jaab and Pat goes along because, as @wen-kexing-apologist stated, he's being self-destructive and wants to forget all the pain from his second break-up with Put. Jeng was more than aware that Pat, even though he was shooting him smiles and having a generally good time for the most part, was struggling, hence why he insisted on one more outing before sending him home alone where he knew that Pat would be suffering alone.
Instead, he brings him to the one spot that, very likely, only his inner-circle would know about. This isn't just about the market research they're conducting, it wasn't even on the list that Pat had drawn up so that they could examine and consider applying to Jeng's own restaurant. A line was being crossed, a literal physical barrier in the shape of hidden bookshelf door, because this is Jeng bringing Pat into his personal life. Jeng has some degree of notoriety, which we haven't explicitly been show to what degree except for very select few moments, but everyone keeps mentioning [@respectthepetty has a great post collecting all these moments.] This speakeasy is likely a safe-haven for Jeng, a reprieve from the insane work-life balance that he lacks. This is Jeng inviting Pat into his "home"; this is where Jeng brings Pat to distract him from the pain that he is carrying.
The Spanish Moss adorning the entrance to Jeng's hidden reprieve, while can seem ominous at first glance, is actually an invitation of where Jeng can offer more to Pat. Yet, while Jeng is so love-stricken by Pat that his brain keeps short-circuiting, he knows that his love isn't what Pat needs at the moment. No matter how much he wants to confess, he instead offers to be Pat's safe-haven, much like this bar has been to him. A place, a person, where Pat can be candid of his emotions, where he can drop the false smiles, really simmer in his feelings and really have someone to depend on rather than running away to another country, because of the pain that he is carrying. A restorative and therapeutic location that Pat can run to, which he didn't have before.
Final Thoughts
Now do I think that the producers and set directors put this much deep thought into every, single, specific flowers that were present in all the scenes in Episode 8? I would be honestly shocked if they did. But, plants and flowers are inserted in the arts to symbolize something. Whether it be new beginnings or blooming love or anything in between, so even if they weren't being so intentional with the specific symbolisms, I do think they were utilizing the botanical references to develop subtle understandings of where Pat and Jeng are in their relationship at the moment.
Anyways, if you made your way through all my senseless rambling, first off, thank you, and secondly, I'll leave you with this:

dc fic writers with male faves not caring about female characters whatsoever -> accidentally making their male favs sexist
even the dudebro canon writers have the guy characters ask her 'hey you seem down... didnt you kill your dad last week?' before going back to focusing on him. dc fic writers often won't include women at all, or if one does show up she's usually a hollow shell whose only purpose is to enrich your male fav's life and provide hurt/comfort and emotional first aid.

Double Parked: 1x03 - Review
I'm infuriated by this plot and I kind of love it! Please, carry on with this plotline.
This might be my favorite episode yet. Mostly, because I’m concerned! Yes, concerned. The casual tossing away of legal documents that are beyond important is very concerning to me. Because despite anything and everything, Johnny could have claim to the turkey baster baby, not the IVF baby. An IVF clinic will do all the things to help you legally secure yours and your baby’s future from…

Business Proposal (2022)
Tumblr media
Shin Hari (Kim Sejeong) goes on a blind date for her best friend Jin Youngseo (Seol In-a). Despite her best efforts, the man, Kang Taemoo (Ahn Hyoseop), decides to marry her. Kang Taemoo is the heir to a conglomerate, and his grandfather has been setting him up on endless blind dates that it is interrupting his work. He decides the next woman he goes on a blind date with, he will marry. Shenanigans ensue.
Comedy: 10/10 we stan Samantha and Rachel
Slightly homosexual bromance: 10/10
Contract engagement: 10000/10 gosh, this is my favorite trope
Amazing friendships: 10/10
This drama set the bar for me for romantic comedies. The family relationships are so sweet, the friendships are so realistic and funny, the romance is hot but tender. I was laughing, crying, angry. This show is perfect for people who love romantic comedies. Descendants of the Sun? Who's she. Crash Landing On You? Don't know her. I only know Taemoo and Hari.

Not gonna lye, that was mid.
I'm a sucker for Steph and Jay, so that made me like it more. I don't give to many damns for Bluebird (BB is what I'm calling her) or whatever her real name is, but she wasn't in it much. I've tried to get more into her, but I keep getting sidetracked by Cass because BB is boring. That's besides the point.
Steph and Jay fight off this robot and bicker a little which is super cute and sweat. Than Tim and Selena go into the sewers because Tim said "When Joker escaped Arkham, he let out three others: Firefly, Killer Moth, and Mr. Freeze" which makes him think that Joker let them out to help him. They go into sewers so Tim can place thermal sensors to catch Freeze. It ends with Freeze behind Tim.
I think this one was a little underwhelming, but I'm excited for the next one! (Also, BB's name is Harper Row. I'm just to lazy to change it.)

Tumblr media
Mr. Throwback (prods. Daniel & Matthew Libman).
A mockumentary sitcom revolving around NBA superstar Stephen Curry's public persona probably should not be as funny as this is. Comedians Adam Pally, Ego Nwodim, and Ayden Mayeri star as people in the Golden Warriors point guard's orbit who either take advantage of the his generousity or must protect him. Pally plays his usual loveable but scheming schlubby best friend character as a dad trying to give his teenage daughter (Layla Scalisi) the more than he had growing up.
