Thanks for tagging me @number-one-hog-hater (you are so cool btw)

15 questions for 15 mutuals (I think)

1. Were you named after anyone?

Technically Ken from Freaks and Geeks but normally I just say I liked the name. I also use Kaz as a name and I got that from supernatural but I don’t use it as frequently.

2. Do you have kids?

No- I am certainly not ever going to have kids either.

3. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Uhh sometimes but sometimes it makes me feel like I’m being mean 👍

4. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

I don’t know how to answer this, I feel like it’s takes me awhile to notice anything like even distinct things about people.

5. Eye color?

A darker (?) green

6. Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings! I love rom coms and pretty much anything comedy. Though I like certain scary movies I don’t actively choose to watch them like I do with other stuff

7. Any special talents?

Not really any that I can think of

8. What are your hobbies?

I like to write and I play guitar and I’m learning bass so that’s pretty much it, I draw a bit but I’ve never been very confident in posting it.

9. Have any pets?

Yes 4 dogs (I still consider my childhood dogs my dogs I don’t care) and 2 cats (Duck Duck and goose)

10. What sports do you play/ have you played?

I played soccer for a bit but I’m not a sports person- I have absolutely no competitive drive I just want to do things for fun and I can’t enjoy it if it’s a competition

11. How tall are you?

5’2 I think

12. Favorite subject in school?

English all you gotta do is read and write its magical

13. Dream job?

Songwriting. Or maybe a writer for some sort of news source.

I think we lost some questions along the way bc there was only 13 but that’s okay 👍

I got into kp0p and exo when I was a teen. I was closeted and very depressed. As I learned about shipping and fanservice culture in kp0p (which I didn't like at all considering how it coexists with raging h0moph0bia), I got recommended by utube a kd compilation vid. And I immediately knew smth was up. It was unlike every other shipping comp I had seen, cause this obv wasn't fanservice and there was palpable atmosphere between them, which couldn't be explained as platonic. Then I started searching more, eventually found those old and gold kd blogs that were analyzing kxk (cause that was happening at the time), and everything made perfect sense. I hadn't caught up with kd for some years now, and now that I'm back, nothing has changed.

What I really want to say is this. The majority of str8 people really have difficulty grasping the realities of h0mose*uals and how you have to navigate life because of h0moph0bia. From my own experience as a g@y woman, and others I have witnessed, life can be very harsh. I can't even imagine how it's like for soo and ji. But I know that they helped me survive an unbearable puberty and showed me how you can survive AND thrive, even with the world against you. In the end of the day, obvious marks of romantic involvement between 2 people of the same seggs are still not awknowledged, especially in this industry for various reasons, despite the obv being the obv.

Sorry for the ridiculous censoring and this was a rant inspired by recent events, and you can ignore it, since it really doesn't have a purpose. But I'm back on tmblr after some years, the kd community has changed a bit but I guess kd hasn't, even from the very few moments I have seen of them, and without having any insider knowledge of anything.

Thank you for the active blog and plz don't mind the haters.

I can't say anything but: 🕎Preach🕎 Girl you really touched my heart and I support you and I'm here for you anytime, in case you needed to talk or had some struggle or hard times trust me and the Kadi community will always be by your side, and in case you felt bad, sad, depressed you can always come here in the Dms or in Anonymous ask and we will always listen and if we could we would help. Don't say that what you wrote is meaningless or without a purpose, in the opposite, it was deep and it really touched me and the audience reading it. You're doing an amazing job darling please don't let anything or anyone discourage you or hurt you for who you are and please don't mind the homophobics and the haters as well. Thank you for taking the courage and time to write about your own experience as a gay person and you can always join us in DMs in case you needed to talk.

I know that you don't necessarily like tumblr because there isn't a huge fandom for Neko Atsume, so I want to say thank you for contributing. Thank you for replying to asks and thank you for being sweet. Thank you!! <33 I'm much more of a bystander and I prefer to keep it that way - simply due to my polarizing personality - but if I ever get money some day, I'd love to give it to you. I hope you have fun doing what you're doing. I really just hope that you're happy. <3

actually the reason why i don’t like tmblr isn’t that it’s not a big fandom here. in fact i personally prefer to be in a small yet active fandom. big fandoms are often full of rude ppl and haters i mean.. the reason i don’t like neko atsume tmblr fandom that much is bc it lacks of creativity. it’s rather boring for me. also sometimes i get weird and rude messages in my ask box but yeah.. most of the ppl i met here are pretty nice like you and i really appreciate it. thank you guys for your support. and omg no why would you think i’m sweet???? i think i already acted pretty mean(?) n indifferent here but thank you??? i will try to have fun staying here?? have a nice day sweet anon!!

Best of the First Half of 2017 TV

Hey, it’s halfway through the year! Here’s an arbitrary list of the best 20 shows so far, with some viewer-friendly ‘Watch If’ taglines! (My apologies to NYT’s ’Watching’ feature, which should be a mandatory email newsletter for all mediavores.)

20) Better Call Saul

I’m in the camp that found Jimmie’s brother drama to be tiresome, but necessary to bridge the gap. Kimmie was this season’s MVP, and the only reason it notched its way in.

Watch if: you watched Better Call Saul S2.

19) American Housewife

American Housewife is an exceptional joke machine with a great emotional core, super supporting characters (especially Ali Wong) and the show treats ‘Katie’ as a real person instead of a ‘larger-than-life personality’.

Watch if: you like Roseanne, Grace Under Fire, acerbic leading women that don’t have time for your garbage.

18) Girls

Fuck the haters; Girls was always great. Sure, it was often messy and privileged, but it was always earnest, and always showcased point-of-views and relationships that were rarely depicted on TV. The final season was a well-earned bow.

Watch if: you haven’t already dismissed Lena Dunham.

17) Mary Kills People

Way, way back in 1998, there was an episode of Millennium named ‘Goodbye, Charlie,’ which focused on a doctor who dealt with arranged suicides and the cops that followed him. This is basically full season of that, but gender swapped and with kids shoehorned in.

Mary Kills People isn’t a perfect show, but it’s the best we have to a Breaking Bad successor in that: the protagonist is following a dark path she feels innately drawn to.

Watch if: you like murderous anti-heroes that still feel good about themselves, or if you are a Caroline Dhavernas fan.

16) Great British Baking Show

This show is still great, but part of me thinks that it’s a good thing that it’s fragmenting, because there are a lot of self-aware digs in the show that really detract from the wholesomeness that we all tune in for. I know I won’t stick with the original, but I do hold out hope for whatever everyone else has jumped ship to.

Watch if: you like baking, nice people, or Sue Perkins.

15) Zoo

I’m probably slightly influenced by binging the entire first two seasons just prior to the 2017 premiere, but goddamn, this show is my kind of bonkers. Caroline Framke said it best:

https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/7/6/15905042/zoo-cbs-season-3-review-hybrids-wow-just-wow

Watch if: the concept of a rhino’s blood growing into a fetus that can telepathically communicate with scientifically-grown hybrid animals appeals to you; you enjoyed reading Margaret Atwood’s Oryx & Crake.

14) Patriot

A TV espionage show via I Heart Huckabees. I’m still not entirely sold on the sustainability of the show itself, but there’s one scene in S01E08 that is a masterpiece of camerawork, blocking, and scripting that I'll be thinking about for some time.

Watch if: you liked Fargo S1, or read the prior paragraph and realized you should have watched I Heart Huckabees.

13) Superstore

I’ll let Maureen Ryan explain why you should watch this:

http://variety.com/2016/tv/features/superstore-nbc-america-ferrera-ben-feldman-season-two-olympics-1201841147/

Watch if: you liked Parks & Rec, or like work-family hangout sitcoms

12) Review

The darkest of all meta-comedies finally brought the hammer down.

Watch if: you like Christopher Guest films, cringe comedy, people’s lives being destroyed.

11) Great News

Look, this isn’t a 30 Rock spin-off, it’s a ‘zanier’ riff on Mary Tyler Moore and, while it took a few eps to find its footing, it’s one of the only ‘classically’ created comedies on the air right now (despite the single-camera, the joke construction is all old-school.)

And yes, I know Nicole Richie is in the cast, and it's the role she was born to play.

Watch if: you like to laugh, liked 30 Rock/Mary Tyler Moore, or like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

10) Big Little Lies

Remember when we all laughed at David E. Kelly when we saw a leaked version of his Wonder Woman pilot and thought he lost the plot when it came to women, characters, and screenwriting? Apparently he found it again.

I’m not a huge fan of Big Little Lies' narrative structure, or its very questionable asides, but the performances alone are worth watching for. Plus they stick the ending, which is more than I can say about most HBO minis.

Watch if: you like suburban melodrama or neo-noir.

9) Twin Peaks: The Return

I think it’s shortsighted to even attempt to mull over Twin Peaks: The Return until the season is over, but goddamnit, the eight episode was astounding, and will undoubtedly be the cinematic TV high of the year. (At least until the next mind-blowing Twin Peaks episode.)

Watch if: you have seen Twin Peaks, other Lynch works, don’t mind existential horrors.

via GIPHY

8) Legion

Presentation is everything.

Watch if: you like the surface unexplainable; didn't find the above description maddening.

7) Steven Universe

I’m a bit behind on Steven Universe, but S4 really blew up the universe in unexpected ways. While it was low on musical numbers, it was high on emotion.

Watch if: you like empathetic scifi adventures; you have a kid; need some queer-positive mindthink.

6) Mystery Science Theater: The Return

Full disclosure: I backed the Kickstarter and am a diehard MST3k fan, and saw them live for my birthday this year. However, initially, I was skeptical of the end result; while I’ve enjoyed the side-riffs from the MST3k folks (like Cinematic Titanic and Rifftrax), I wasn’t sure Joel could recreate the magic, but I donated simply because he previously brought me so much joy.

My skepticism was wrong; ’The Return’ crackles as brightly as any MST3k season, and is an utter delight to watch and re-watch.

Watch if: you know what MST3k is, or are snarky about films that fall short of shooting for the stars.

5) Brooklyn 99

Brooklyn 99 has it all: it’s a gag machine, rom-com, action-sitcom, poignancy; until this past season it’d mostly avoided socio-political discussion, but it executed it in a brilliant and heartfelt way.

Watch if: you like to laugh, especially at deadpan reactions from Andre Braugher.

4) Please Like Me

Please Like Me is a journey of a 20-something gay man, his friends, and family, and it’s so warm-hearted, but doesn’t flinch from the realities of wounded people. While the show’s been discontinued by the creator, I desperately hope for a revival 5-10 years from now.

Watch if: you like cooking, good friends, and aren’t afraid of sudden tragedies.

3) The Good Place

I’m a sucker for high-concept comedies, and The Good Place amped it up in the back third of their season. No spoilers, but the end of the first season is an exhilarating delight that will make your head spin.

Watch if: you thought LOST needed more laughs.

2) Downward Dog

I believe Downward Dog’s manta (even back in its YouTube days) was: make the viewer empathize with all of the characters, then make the viewer feel like shit for empathizing, and then let the viewer cry out their frustration upon reflecting on their own life. Admittedly, this is not a great engine for a dramedy, but it was exceptionally realized and it was oddly bold programming choice for ABC. Unfortunately, like all recent bold ABC sitcoms (Happy Endings, The B— in Apt. 23, Selfie, etc.) it was canceled, causing more tears.

Watch if: you like bittersweet rom-coms; you like or hate dogs; hate or think you love yourself.

1) The Leftovers

It’s still difficult to articulate how amazing and moving the third season was, so I won’t bother; The Leftovers went out as perplexingly as it started, but with an character core it wore on its sleeve and a flurry of batshitcrazy that somehow still felt emotionally grounded and satisfying.

Watch if: you like kitchen-sink melodramas and can suspend disbelief; liked Fringe; like antithetical love stories.

via GIPHY

Disqualified shows:

Don’t @ me; these weren’t in the list because I can’t watch everything, but I’m working on ‘em. I have another six months.

12 Monkeys

American Gods

Dear White People

Handmaid’s Tale

GLOW

The Keepers

Jane the Virgin S3

Master of None
