let free the curse of yaoi

mr. louis is so fucking extra like we'll get pages and pages of dialogue about the nature of art and aesthetics but then 갑자기 DINOSAUR FEVER DREAM

the way i agree with basically all of your opinions lol

catching up with billlie's newer stuff in preparation for the concert this weekend and it's insane how underrated their discog is

If you see this, repost with the first kdrama you watched.

oh god i don't think my memory goes back that far for dramas but what i am sure of is the movie that started it all: my sassy girl (역시...)

these were so cheap?? (3000 won each, both are from 2020) don't know if any of the articles are especially good yet but if there are any maybe I'll have a go at translating them this summer.

this man stays hallucinating. mr. louis what is wrong with you

wait I should clarify that the paper was on korean BL/GL fandom (ethnography mostly, only briefly dipped into 'politics of' but the author was a polish researcher so probably for the best), which is a pretty fascinating topic and I would read a lot more on the topic if it were available!

got sucked into reading an academic paper on korean BL yesterday and ended up buying an ebook of 루이스씨에게 봄이 왔는가 (has spring arrived for mr. louis?), the first officially published korean BL manga serialized in 1990. there's a kiss, a proposal, and a fever dream in the first chapter. also byron.

02/50: remains of the old bl days (shoko hidaka, “blue morning”) Long-time readers (i.e. old friends of mine who been subjected to my rants and raves for years) will know that one of my frequently-repeated opinions is that "butlers were the original omegaverse," at...

this week i finally write about "blue morning" and my thesis that butler/master is the original omegaverse. also, i somehow end up talking about nirvana in fire.

imogen heap's "the walk" for pamrak or veemark lmao

second-chance romance fmv set to the xx's "reunion" (cutting it down to around 3 mins... this is doable... in my mind palace at least)

i'm coming up on 100 ql series watched which is a deranged milestone. by my spreadsheet calculations i should be crossing that line with gelboys, but who knows what kind of backlist binge i might go on during the upcoming school break.
