What series are you looking forward to seeing this year?
Right now the biggest thing on my radar is Pyramid Game. It’s a kdrama coming out in early 2024 and it’s based on a webtoon. I read the webtoon and I so highly recommend everybody reads it as well. It’s set at an all girls high school where the protagonist, Suji, ends up in this class where all of the students participate in this monthly popularity poll that ranks each student into a pyramid. The student who gets the lowest votes is labeled an F which basically means it’s open season to bully the shit out of her. And Suji basically makes it her mission to dismantle this game.
I am just so thoroughly impressed with how well written this story was. It has a huge (all girls!!!!) cast and every single character is written with such nuance and depth. The writing has a lot of game theory and human psychology in it which is why I felt like I was reading a chess match. I really cannot emphasize it enough that everybody should read this story and for me, I really enjoyed that there was no romance. It’s kind of refreshing for a plot (especially one that’s all girls) to prove that you don’t need romance to make the story or the characters interesting and intense.

one of the things that makes mdzs SUCH a great story is the fact that it's a tragedy with queer protagonists, but their queerness isn't the cause or the center of the tragedy. it's not even related, really. it's a story about love and loss and wrong and right, about what we owe each other and what we owe ourselves, about how you can find joy even amidst chaos and grief; its complexity and tragedy is what makes it so profound and touching. sure, there's 'casual' queerphobia in the story, but with everything else going on, it's not really relevant- wwx's mostly like, 'oh, i like guys? i like lwj? i love lwj? fuck, what if he doesn't love me back? am i being presumptuous to think he returns my feelings? what do I do now?' followed by 'wait, he loves me back??? we're getting married IMMEDIATELY', and that whole attitude is very refreshing because sometimes you just want to read a queer story that isn't about queer suffering but that's still incredibly miserable, and i think we as a queer community deserve it

ok i was just remembering back when a bunch of interactive fiction accounts were answering those orpheus/eurydice asks and i kind of want to write something related about blades characters SO for my fellow blades enjoyers: who do you think would turn & who wouldn't?
i'm going with all the og love interests for this (mal, nia, tyril, imtura, aerin). i'm pretty confident about certain ones, but less sure about mal & aerin, so lemme know what you think!
this might not impact what i write at all, and i might not end up writing anything, BUT i'm curious to know & this might help me confirm my thoughts as well :)
ALSO feel free to reblog with your reasoning/why if u want!!!

Would like to inform you that @an-theduckin and I (mostly me honestly) are so normal about "Divorcees" that we essentially created a fanfic about it. We wrote a fanfic about your fanfic.
