#and that delighted me every single time

[liashinigami]

A thing I have seen coming since the first Korean BL series (that was actually called a BL, bc my god is there a divide in the Korean filmmaking scene between queer films and BL...people get heated) was announced, was that this would open the gate to more LGBT rep in regular KDramas. The Korean market will go with the trend of time, and the success of BL has shown producers, that it is a valuable variation of the already working formula.

After the immense success of the Semantic Error adaptation from last year, more and more shows, which went into production after SE aired, have been including expicitely queer characters (Love in Contract (tvN), Extraordinary Attourney Woo (ENA/Netflix), Under the Queen's Umbrella (tvN)...and those are just the most recent ones I can think off without looking stuff up).

While there have certainly been a few gay characters in shows over the past ten years or so, only few have had bigger roles, and fewer have had their sexuality been known from the beginning. Only two years ago every single queer side character with the smallest amount of relevance to the plot seemed like a novelty and suddenly we have so many at the same time!

With this new wave in 2022 most of those characters might still be young gay men, but the fact that they are allowed to expicitely exist on Korean TV (even having same-sex relationships which do not end in tragedy!) while still not being reduced to their gayness alone is a huge step for KDramas! Recently I feel like every second new Kdrama I hear about has gay characters in small or large roles and it feels great. And all of this was really only possible because BL has proven to be a profitable variant of the usual Korean storytelling format that is KDramas and thus given the industry that last push it needed to start portraying queerness as a part of the everyday.

Having observed the slow acceptance over the past ten years made me slowly tired, but then witnessing the new boom got me excited again to watch new dramas and follow the changes this new delevopment will bring with it!

#midnight thoughts #not really midnight #but whatever #Just over the past few weeks every drama I have started suddenly had queer people in it #and that delighted me every single time #it feels like this could have a good influence on the perception of queer people in korea #especially the way the portrayals work right now #I would need to write half an essay to explain why #maybe I'll do that at some point #but yeh #these were the thoughts lol

we truly don't talk enough as a society about the transcendent, deranged hilarity of every single acting choice georgia king makes in austenland

#the way she like ...... tromps around but clearly thinks she's being really dainty is just spectacular #and every single word pronunciation. UNHINGED! #i think i've made this post before but every time i watch the movie it just makes me SO delighted #dollsome's deep thoughts #oh georgia king! #i knew i loved ye from the time i first set eyes on ye in that one silly episode of merlin

My company's intranet has this banner image for one of their end of year posts, and honestly it's the most #mood I've ever experienced.

breaking news: surprising absolutely no one, pik has fallen in love with the fast paced fps game where the big, silent badass of a main character's sole goal is to protect the small, squishy innocents.

#lines i did #roboquest #i love this game its great #the writing is so goofy and i cant quite tell if its intentional or of its bc they dont have an actual writer on their team but eith #either way its simple and silly and i love it #not to mention its very vague and leaves plenty of space for potential worldbuilding... #and the animations range from wonderfully clean and snappy; like the reload animations for each weapon and the enemies movement animations #to 'lets just obscure the boss under esplosion textures and lower it under the floor so we dont actually have to animate it exploding' and #its still hilarious to watch every time #music is DAMN GOOD #gameplay is comparable to modern doom #a little rougher around the edges but hey its an indie studio not a triple a and theyre still working on it #npc designs are DELIGHTFUL. why does the robot wear a fake mustach. why does the robot with a single optic wear a normal pair of goggles. #they have so much character despite none of them uttering a single word ever #except for max i guess; she has dialogue. but shes also Literally The Only Human In The Game so like. she gets a pass. #anyway more of my mutuals should buy it so we can co-op it together. #(mutuals if u buy it let me know id be 100% down to co-op it with u)

I’m dying lmfao — just imagining Amity being shown the extent of the comfort between Hunter and Luz and having aneurysms everytime. I feel like she’d lowkey be super intrigued and come to just accept whatever weird shit they have going on no matter what. Because of Luz and Amity being so neurotic about each other, Hunter actually acting as the model of what to do is hilarious

just got the strongest mental image in the World of amity asking luz and hunter if they ever go on dates out of uniform bc shes been DYING to know more about wtf the parameters are of their whole Thing & luz is like oh we arent dating!! and amity is like WHAT DO YOU MEAAAN YOU ARENT DATING YOU SLEEP HALF-DRESSED IN THE SAME BEDDDD & hunter, who is fully fucking with her, is like oh yeah that's just a normal captain thing. every royal's captain of the guard in any kingdom has a relationship like this. really weird to question our 100% true real not clickbait cultural norms, blight,

#amity fully knowing shes being fucked with and being like but WHAT ARE YOU TWO #hunter: woof. bark #amity: yeah yeah yeah dog jokes but i mean seriously #hunter: actually i think that's unironically about the closest we're gonna get #the delight of this triad in this AU is thst every single leg is mystifying and bizarre to the other person. #luz and amity?? hunter does not understand dyke antics #luz and hunter?? you know #hunter and amity?? luz is like it's so weird how you guys arent nicer to each other. i want to be so nice all the time its eating me alive #toh #replies #shitty idiot repression gang #horrible mindscape trauma pals #princess luz au

Pro tip for any fantasy still recovering from the reality of this whole sf8 situation: what you DONT want to do is turn on YouTube at 4am and watch their entire Kpop Nation Warsaw performance, followed up by the music show performances of the songs they sang, and finish up by watching the video where they get their first win.

Consequence: Bawling your eyes out over a bowl of Count Chocula

No, I don't speak from experience. Absolutely not...Just giving sound advice.

#imma be honest #watching/listening to scream was so easy #but any other song #OOF #Without fail every single time I was like #oh that's Rowoon's part :( #and this isn't a knock to the other members at all #taeyang & dawon covered most of his parts and they did it so well!! #sf9 is one of the few groups where each member is so special & talented & integral to the group #yet if members are missing the other members have no issue filling in the gap #like they make u FORGET there is a gap like if I've never heard of sf9 & saw them perform I wouldn't think they were incomplete at all #like idk why it makes me so emotional cuz I went thru scream era fine & saw the delight tour and was SO FINE #like during that concert was I thinking boo hoo this would be so much better with rowoon here? NO! #I SAW THE 6 MEMBERS IN FRONT OF ME & IT WAS THE MOST PERFECT EXPERIENCE & I HAD NO ONE ELSE IN MY MIND #but in the back of my head I was like NEXT TIME they'll be complete...but ig now I don't have that to cling to #was it a bad idea to put myself thru that? probably #but I WILL be streaming their fancon & binseong will be back & idc that they won't see me #but I will not be a sobbing mess crying over a member who's not there anymore when 2 members who've been gone for so long just came back #that sounds harsh but its the truth so I needed to warm up #anyway buy ur tickets to fandora!! #sf9 #youngbin #inseong #jaeyoon #dawon #rowoon #zuho #taeyang #hwiyoung #chani

I love the part of Blender character process videos when the artist starts setting up the rig for the model. the way they test the anchors and movements. the character is having a wiggle. watch as this demon lord does a quick little jig in 10x speed

#nothing like being in varying states of pain for a few years - sometimes less #sometimes more but always there - and being too exhausted to go to a doctor about it bc everyone around you says you just need to do yoga & #the only way ur job will accommodate is by giving u the less staffed late shift so u can go in the morning and ur so exhausted youd rather #just deal eith the pain like u already have been doing for years #to moving to a job that actually allows u to leave early for medical reasons if you can get the essentials done #then phoning the gp with hope & motivation for the first time in a long time #and being told lol no appointments left until july #i had hope for once i really did 🥲 my friend is a pt & said i might have fibromyalgia and i really really dont want it to be that bc that #means i have a chronic illness with no cure but i looked it up and just. every single symptom was a check for me #and i started thinking if i do have it ill have it whether im diagnosed or not & if i dont then thats good to know too? & psyched myself up #for the phone call and. ugh it really hit me #she said to do their online service. tried and it said no appointments available. tried nhs online. it said make an appointment with ur gp #within the next few days 🥲 back to giving up and just bearing the pain and never mentioning it bc i'll just get told it's my own fault bc #i didnt go yoga ig #just needed to rant into the void for a bit sigh #time to go back into work i guess #* #UGH I JUST GOT MY PERIOD TOO #also like. this isn't to say i do have chronic pain it could be something easily solved #and id be delighted if it was #but i hate how the people around me trivialise it like. it's not normal to have intense pain and stiffness from sitting down/standing for #the duration of one train stop ok it's not. it's not normal to feel sharp jolts of pain through my body every time i cough or sneeze. #every part of my body aches! literally from my head to my toes! they dont do toe yoga! #okay enough back into the fray

every time someone headcanons a character with shadow the hedgehog flavored autism as a he/him lesbian i grow unimaginably stronger

#this post is fully about hiei and fakir btw #LOOK. it's an archetype and i keep seeing it happen and you guys are all so smart i love you #i usually dont see it but its such a powerful concept that it reshapes me every single time it happens. i am changed. etc #simply impossible not to add that to my list of encouraged hcs/lenses for that character #fav #yes i will fav my own post. i dont wanna lose this one #<- pretending the tag search function works #anyway im so real for this #sincerely a he/him lesbian with the ol (?)autism(?) and wayy too much whimsy and delight to be shadow flavored but with a deep attachment #to the archetype as my natural opposite. with love

I love how Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been such a long-running franchise that it has in-jokes with itself, it’s so endearing to see previous incarnations of a show people love so much referenced so cheekily

#tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #im pretty sure the 2k3 show has been the only one without a voice actor joke #which delights me every single time #also the musical motifs??? #ugh its like the love for the franchise is woven inexplicably deeper with every generation of creators #LAYERS of love #we having ninja turtle feeling in this house tonight
