#year in review 24

[wip]

hiiiii staff, hope you're doing well with the backend migration stuff!

this is kind of a stupid and probably low-priority question, but a few mutuals and i have been wondering: do the stats published on @fandom reflect the trends during one week, or since the last stats roundup on that blog? as in, if for one week they don't get published, do the trends from that week then count towards the next "Week in Review", or just for the "Year in Review" later on?

thank you for the work you do and for keeping tumblr so fun for us <3

Answer: Hey there, @snowiiiiie!

Thanks for the kind words, and this isn’t a stupid question at all!

The data that we use for @fandom’s Fandometrics is seven-day data, as in the previous seven days before the publication of Monday’s lists. It’s not cumulative from the previous roundup—so if we don’t publish one week, the following week won’t have two weeks' worth of data. Unfortunately, the tool we use parses just one week’s worth of data. This is also why, if we skip a week, we don’t do rank changes (whether a tag moved up or down) on the Fandometrics lists.

What is cumulative, though, is Year in Review! Year in Review takes into account an entire year’s worth of data (from late October of the previous year to late October of the current year). So while it’s not January to December, it is a full 365 days worth of trends. We can’t wait to share Year in Review with you and the rest of Tumblr come December—it’s gonna be a good one!

Thanks for the question! Keep 'em coming, folks.

there’s something so epic about hetero chinese period dramas and i think one part of it is that there is absolutely nowhere in the narrative i could exist.

lately i’ve been on a western media detox— i’ve cleaned english language music out of my playlists and have never been able to stomach western dramas anyway, so that part is easy— which might seem funny, because if i’m in singapore and i hate it and i won’t touch american music then what’s left? the answer is the false binarism of chinese period dramas, at least for me. the badly written ones are misogynistic and stupid and the better ones are less of those things, but regardless the world that emerges is clean-cut and easy to parse. there’s someone to root for and someone to hate. there’s a girl and a boy. there’s the comedy and the drama, the sheer thick drama, the music that signals to you precisely how to feel before the scene even starts going

try to jam a fifth culture transnational transgender they/them with 2 mental illness and 1 autoimmune disease into this world and it simply doesn’t work. and that’s kinda epic lolzers! it’s like watching high fantasy, or super hardcore sci-if. it both represents a simulacrum of the real world and is so far from the reality you know that you understand it as a hypothetical universe, one that disincludes you on principle. i exclude myself from the story and in doing so fangfei from moyuyunjian’s steely gaze becomes all the more important. i give so many shits and laugh and yell and spectate. but i am safe from the eyes of its inhabitants. if i entered the story it would break. so i sit outside of it, clapping by myself

in other news, we gave up on mysterious lotus casebook 16 episodes in. there are many character archetypes in these shows that i can no longer stand; the salacious sexy seductive supervillain lady is not necessarily one of them but the way they did miss ‘this man didn’t even Look at me when all men fall at my knees so i hated him’ ‘no one is allowed to steal buttchin from me’ jiao was way up there. surely a woman can have multiple personality traits and yet you would think from this drama that that is not at all true. and the strange harem that grew around li lianhua despite his absolute loser attitude— like i get it, he’s the gintoki of this show, that’s hot, but the way the women who were into him were written made me want to Eat Horse. it bothered me that di feisheng and lianhua’s homo as fuck dynamic was so intriguing and them + fang duobing was a winning trio but all the women in the show were written like complete fucking ass, and one of the big antagonists being a woman, the stakes throughout were not only lost to me but also Pissed Me Off. also, that case about the corpse flowers dragged on forever and all my pocky wilted

I Just Think, women deserve better in these damn stories. make them slutty as hell, sure, but make them other things too and i mean this in the most generous sense. slutty and proud. slutty and weird. slutty and oblivious. literally anything at all so they don’t come out cardboard flat from all angles. this is why i have a personal vendetta against the ditzy clueless female protagonist as well because if everything stems from the fact that she doesn’t know shit it’s like please someone Please tell her shit i’m on my hands and knees begging. give her more to chew on she’s dying of boredom over there

this is why i liked the so called antagonist of blossoms in adversity best (spoilers ahead). he was cruel as hell to huazhi and gu yanxi’s only parental figure. he was paranoid and selfish and lonely and craved a son’s love from the one person he couldn’t hold onto. in the end he is pushed further and further by huazhi, who won’t give in, to isolate yanxi from the people he loves and to lash out at those people as a way of punishing yanxi. and when he dies it’s because of his own distrust, his own negligent parenting, his absent cruelty from decades of insomnia and lack of faith in his people. but he cries for yanxi, and there’s something so human about that. to think of evil not as a first principle but rather an adjective for a verb that is set in motion by other events. to be honest, i haven’t seen such thoughtful writing in any chinese period drama before or after that and i strongly suspect i will never see such writing again in this genre but man, it was so fucking good (spoilers end).

in the meantime, i’ve dragged my mother to moyuyunjian/the double for the return casting of liu xiening and wang xingyue who are Eating so hard. they’ve got wang xingyue done up with the sluttiest makeup and liu xiening is breaking my heart with her pout and her Sassy Mean constitution and this is a revenge story, yes, but it’s a double revenge story. it’s a grief story. and fangfei is carrying more on her shoulders than lingbuyi imo, and doing so with much more grace too. her step mom’s a dick but she’s a smart, 5d chess playing dick who wears hot shades of green so i’m personally interested enough to keep watching (something lotus casebook DID NOT accomplish with their epic female antagonist…. mein gotte). and the princess too. unhinged as hell but god, so charismatic. and beautiful, with scary big eyes and the sweetest head tilt. fun fun fun! that’s fun character writing right there. the comedy might be too straightforward for my tastes but everything else is kind of hot and sexy And after the coming of age ceremony when jiangli appeared amidst the flowers i felt my throat close up even though we saw her for all of one (1) episode). i was like yes. they got me alright. i Care now

really that’s all that matters isn’t it. we want stories about people we care for. we want to give a shit. why else would we listen to the stories of other people. we are looking for us and the people we love in them

oh also moyuyunjian soundtrack goes hard as hell i love a little three step waltz. here’s a pic from the ‘gym’ for ur time. guten night

Hello disabled lovelies!! We have a question for all of you who deal with chronic dehydration (for whatever reason): what products/brands do you recommend for water-soluble electrolyte mixtures?

We’d be interested in knowing:

-> which ones you find work best

-> which ones are most worth the cost

-> which flavour(s) are your favourite

-> whether you recommend liquid or powder sachets

-> which types/flavours/brands you do not recommend!

—

Thank you in advance! 🙂‍↕️🫶.

(We ask because we aren’t managing to stay hydrated and are back to pouring salt into our water- and that still isn’t making it much better. So we think we will finally have to invest in electrolyte sachets 🥹. The only ones we’ve really seen are “liquid iv” and they seem so expensive, but we will have to suck it up if there’s nothing better. If you have any advice on other ways to help manage dehydration issues feel free to let us know! It is welcome 🫰.)

what I can't understand about some reviewers on Google, is why, why aren't you more specific about your bad experiences?

are you afraid that they will come and tell you "but we told you!" and force you what? to feel ashamed that you didn't have a good time? you had a bad experience, you are entitled to write about it (you actually have to do it. and no, they didn't tell me, they just told me in an email that I could park my car in the discotheque parking lot, without specifying shit and they told me the day I arrived "we have a discotheque in front of us" which doesn't mean much if you don't also add that it's a frigging open air discotheque; they're not common so say it).

if someone had wrote something more about the discotheque in front for my first camping on the seaside that wasn't just "the discotheque on the front..." (yes, that's the review, with full stars) but like, I don't know, "the discotheque in front is the open air type and the music is so loud you can't sleep at night" I wouldn't have even considered that camping site, but the pictures on the website were nice, full of olive trees and I though "I guess I'll just hear the thump thump in the nights" (there were also a couple of good reviews that I can't understand, for the life o me, how could they have a good time, because ok, the bathrooms are very clean but also very very old and impractical).

nope. not only those tent plots no longer exists anymore, but it's impossible to sleep for the noise. there isn't a nice hill covered by olive trees anymore, it's a residence with dozens of little houses and you can pitch a tent in the spaces they weren't able to build on (and the tenants act like they're in their regular houses with no regards for other people necessity of not hearing all their discussions).

all of this to say that I just spent half an hour to rate very specifically both camping sites in that town (I ran away the next morning; in a haste) because I don't want anyone else to ever think that the first one not only is a good camping site, but it's a camping site.

I only wish I had taken photos of the first one because my description is pretty dreadful, but a picture would have tell it even better.

I get a customized box of tea every month, and have had a subscription for years now. It's my treat and morale booster, and arrive usually within the first week of the month. After I try all the teas, I leave a review for each of them, and then the next box is customized further. Plus, you get points that can be applied to receiving a free box, or more tea samples, and other various goodies. I've used mine for free boxes twice.

Through Sips by Box, I have discovered soooooo many teas. Some of them are big nope and go to a friend or neighbor. Other teas that are very yummy have resulted in me buying enough to have them daily for a month.

You take a little quiz thing to put it what you like, don't like, things you cannot have, and various other things. I have celiac disease, epilepsy, and a high sensitivity to caffeine; some ingredients in herbal teas will result in an ER visit. Not once have a received a tea with these ingredients via Sips.

If you can't afford a box for a few months, you can pause your account. I had to do this for about six (very miserable) months. It was easy and took less than a minute.

Here's the little bit the shared with me about y'all signing up:

Send a friend $15 off their first Sips by Box & 200 bonus points for signing-up using this link. You'll earn 200 points when they sign-up for a free account and 600 points if they subscribe to the box!

If you're interested, please click the link and sign up. Consider it a gift exchange and a great way to make me extremely happy. I currently have 379 points and need a 418 more so I can get a free box.

Thank you and enjoy!

I like how everyone in LotR tumblr is being all euphemistic and vague about their aesthetic complaints with Rings of Power speaking about immersion and how the short hair is ruining the experience instead of just saying what they mean

They made Elrond unfuckable and it sucks

Rikke's mod recommendations

These are all for PC and SSE, but most of them also have a Legendary Edition counterpart. Anniversary players, cope.

At Your Own Pace - Slows down the main quest a bit so you don't feel so rushed to complete it

JS Armored Circlets - Adds armored circlets for if you're like me and hate the look of helmets but still want the extra armor rating

Book Covers Skyrim - Adds unique book covers to literally every book in the game

Floating Health Bars - I hate the way vanilla health bars work (when they decide to) so this helps me tremendously with combat, and even displays enemies level which I'm pretty sure is impossible to see in vanilla

Teldryn Sero Dialogue Expansion - makes my favorite charater even chattier and gives him some synthesized lines as well, including allowing him to read Nerevar at Red Mountain to you and even letting him play the lute if you ask nicely :)

Practical Female Armors - Makes the more abysmal female armors look more like their male counterparts

Impractical Royal Vampire Armor - Adds a titty window to the male vampire royal armor :3

Better Civil War Guards - Makes it so that guards in captured holds retain their unique colors while still being Imperial or Stormcloak soldiers, with seperate files depending on who you side with

Morrowind Armor - Netch Leather - Adds craftable netch leather armor and even puts it on certain Dunmer NPCs including Ralis, Jenassa, and Athis

Freckles and Rough Skin Complexion - makes freckles and rough skin more noticable

Pet The Dog - Lets you pet the dog :) (really only works in 3rd person though)

more under the cut to keep this post from taking up too much of the dash lol

On one hand, I want to believe that characters like Elisif and Ysolda are short queens because they give off that vibe, but on the other hand I know they're both nords and therefore probably fucking tower over my poor wood elf dragonborn like I bet they're both like 5'10"
