Times I cried about jjk
-actually early stsg hc got to me until ppl dramatized it but art of them makes me emotional like good goddd the amount of pics i have of me crying LOL
-the twins saying how much they love suguru and having to watch their father body be used and somewhat forgiving gojo for killing geto. They just wanted his body back and bring peace to themselves
-the kfc moment didn’t make me cry emotionally but I rmbr washing dishes in tears laughing too much about it cause it went around on Twitter for hours
-frustrated at the fact suguru and gojo went through in hell in highschool cause it’s already hellish
-yuujis words to an old classmate was very touching to my heart….
-nobara would have been such a great character in later arcs, but i think even gege realized they choose the wrong character to kill off
-kenjaku being a comical villain that reminds you of a main character, loves to breed, only sexy people he wants to be in (in both ways if you know what I mean) probably a dom and Jin died from being uh…milked too much
-megumi crushing through walls like the fuck did he survive thaaaaat????????the anime had him flying like I know toji looked away scratching his head in hell
-when of the twins took a picture mid death it had me crying horribly and laughing cause damn it’s always that damn phone huh I bet geto always scold her for it
-I made myself laugh thinking how shoko scared of flirty men cause she talks about her job ..Hannibal style
-gojo and geto are bottoms and they never fucked that’s the appeal for me
-utahime lost most of her kids and been dragged for it for how long
-when someone said to get over junpeis death because he’s rolled up in purple ball and being slammed dunk by curses like what is wrong with you $;&/$(&/&;?!
-jjk 0 movie tweets had me bawling like i rmbr telling my friend that I am fighting for my life mentally and to be gentle with me in theaters
-I prayed reallly hard for naoya to face a horrible death but I thought he got laid off too easily but gege heard me!! He was a flying cunt curse
-Mai’s death that is all
-nanamis death felt like a cool uncle died and I understand what miles felt. Like that death was brutal and that’s one part I’m not to keen on seeing animated cause it took months to get over.
-shoko anguish in silence but her smile made cry in the recent chapters so all is well.

i feel like i should make a post saying what my blog is about. i mostly use tumblr on mobile (i know), and mostly i just kinda use it casually, lurking around, and saving/rbing stuff that i like. so don’t expect too much organization or original content here. but the stuff i do make myself, i tag with #made by suna.
i’m (currently) into danmei/bl, which this blog is mostly dedicated to. but again i am a disorganized mess so i will probably like and rb other stuff on here too.
if you know any good gl media set in ancient asia, please please please let me know because i am desperate for it but cannot find it anywhere :C
i consume most danmei in chinese since i grew up in china and am a native speaker, so sometimes i may be confused about the english names of places/things/people’s titles in these works. please be gentle ^_^
if you scroll down far enough you can find random stuff i rb’d before i really knew how tumblr worked and before i got into danmei so you can just ignore them :’)
under the cut: what i’ve watched/read, what’s next on my list, and my sloppy tagging system. i might update it whenever, or not. we’ll see c:
here is the list of things i’ve read/watched/am into:
mo dao zu shi / grandmaster of demonic cultivation by mxtx

Jin I want to watch hannibal, but when I start I fall out of it and forget about it. What can I do to stick to watching it enough to get to the gay love parts?
God I don't know it's one of those shows you have to really pay attention to otherwise you get confused about what's happening 😭
Yaoi over mind lol 💪🏾

@consumare sent: despite birthdays being rather trivial to hannibal, he's always willing to give an expensive gift, and flaunt his wealth. the box is sitting on the kitchen counter as they walk in, light blue with a deep blue, silk ribbon. hannibal ushers toward it with a grin before he begins collecting ingredients for the dinner he intended to cook just for jin. inside, jin would find a blue dress made of silk, with sleek straps, and a slit up its leg. he's grinning a bit as he ties his apron around his waist, glancing up at jin when he's finished. 'i would like you to change into it, please,' hannibal said. it isn't quite a demand, but he isn't asking, either. 'there is a guest room upstairs you may use,'
When Jin had accepted Hannibal's invitation he was initially a little hesitant — not because he didn't want to go, but because he did. Though he could often be hedonistic he wasn't totally mindless. He knew it was a bad idea to get too personally involved with someone who was supposed to be his therapist. It was unprofessional on Dr. Lecter's part, a red flag, but the doctor was a matador and Jin was a charging bull running headfirst into the crimson banner that should have served as a warning.
Before he could say anything, he was urged to open a box with a rather expensive looking blue ribbon. It looked so expensive. He almost didn't want to touch it. Almost.
The ribbon slipped open with a gentle motion, and as he opened the box and pulled out the garment his face went a shade of faded ruby. When he had discussed his fashion preferences with his therapist he hadn't expected it would result in such a gift. He bit at his lip and nodded at the request, almost too embarrassed to speak.
Blue silk in hand, he navigated Hannibal's labyrinthian house to the guest room. In the quiet dark he could think clearly. This was insane. This was unusual. He shouldn't have come here. It was too late to back out. Clearly Hannibal wanted him here, or he wouldn't have done so much preparation. To back down now after accepting such a gift would be terribly rude. He did not want to spoil the evening, and even though he knew it was a bad idea to get personally involved with Dr. Lecter, he was going to do it anyways.
When he slipped the dress on it fit nearly perfectly. It made him wonder how carefully the doctor had watched him if he was able to estimate his size so accurately. It made his heart beat faster with a sickly mixture of excitement and anxiety. He was acutely aware in that moment that the other had been watching him somehow, devouring him from an appropriate distance until the two could be alone. For what purpose he wasn't completely sure but he thought he had an idea. Whether he was right or not was yet to be made clear. So far when older men had bought him expensive gifts they wanted one thing and one thing only.
"This is... incredible. Beautiful," he said as he rejoined Dr. Lecter, "I don't know what to say. I mean, thank you, obviously, but this is really something special."
Jin smiled, hands unsteady as he smoothed the fabric across his body. He felt vulnerable, as if he was standing nude on a Broadway stage for an entire audience to see. With this part of him exposed he felt a pang of desire for Hannibal's approval.
"Do you think it looks alright?"

i followed you for hannibal and i’ll bite... what the hell is untamed
YES OKAY SO. the untamed/chen qing ling (or cql) is the live action to this one cdrama mo dao zu shi (the grandmaster of demonic cultivation/mdzs for short) — i personally don’t care for the novel, but everything i tag goes under the latter rather than the former just because???? anyways asljfdsao
the story revolves around the fact that there’s five big cultivation clans (think of them as family/clans that are dedicated to ridding the world of evil and lingering spirits) the jiang clan, the jin clan, the nie clan, the lan clan, and the wen clan. the story revolves around the life of wei wuxian (birthname wei ying — the only real birth names you have to know is his and lan wangji/lan zhan’s. you normally use one’s courtesy name and to even drop the surname and call wei wuxian “wuxian” would show that you are close to him like a family member or a good friend. calling someone by their birth name “wei ying” is....intimate and something that is left for people who are TRULY close to one another) who is adopted by the jiang clan. the storyline, and this is where i think the untamed TRULY excels, first shows the plot as like another generic “and there’s this evil dude on a throne we have to defeat” but the show is truly about the horrors of war, prisoners of war and how we treat them, and subsequently scapegoating and standing up for one’s belief despite the fact that everyone turns away from you and wishes you to die. anyways the first two episodes start with the end of wei wuxian’s life and then we’re thrown 13 years into the future (the first 2 eps are a bit confusing i will admit) because someone has called wei wuxian, the fearsome yiling patriarch who killed numerous people and committed atrocities, back for revenge and then from the end of episode 2 onwards we’re at the flashback until episode 33 (i know you’re like what the fuck? but it’s AMAZING) and then the rest until episode 50 is in the present time.
so wei wuxian is adopted by the jiang clan and it starts off with him, his brother jiang cheng, and his older sister jiang yanli going to a summer seminar held by the lan clan. there they met lan wangji (lan zhan) and like a war occurs? i know im explaining it REALLY badly but there really is like..no real way to explain this show to people you just got to watch it and you’ll understand it.
but uh tl;dr society of clans that defeat evil spirits but the wen clan tries to gain power and wei wuxian goes from a hero -> villain and lan wangji waits for him for 13 years. and then uh in the present day there’s a giant murder mystery and wei wuxian’s nephew is there too it’s very fun and also very very sad.
but also wei wuxian and lan wangji are married and have a son!! (:

salty asks: 1 & 7 :)
1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?
The question is what pairings do I get XD Kidding haha. Okay so for simplicity's sake I'm going to interpret this question as 'genuinely do not understand why people ship it' and not 'dislike the pairing' because the latter would just be too many X'D I'm looking at the top 10 relationships on ao3 so I don't drift into rarepairs (because I certainly don't get most of those).
For Shadowhunters that would be Sizzy (I get why Simon would love Izzy, honestly who doesn't love Izzy, but why would she like him romantically? I don't get it...) and Jalec (just don't).
For Untamed that would be XueXiao (this is actually a bit tricky because I once read a post which made me realize what the point of interest for that pairing could be, but I genuinely don't understand how anyone can stand the whole... everything of it without running for the hills crying in anguish (or assassinating Xue Yang's character)), Jiang Cheng/Nie Huaisang (what even is their shipname? In any case I have no idea how they would work) and Jiang Cheng/Wei Wuxian (again, just don't).
In Merlin, Sherlock and Assassination Classroom there's nothing that wasn't to be expected (except Karasuma's first name... I didn't even know he had one LOL).
I feel... a lot of confusion looking at the Attack on Titan ship list... the only thing that makes sense to me is Marco/Jean.... everything else is ???
For Harry Potter, like I thought, Hermine/Snape, Snape/Harry, Harry/Voldy. I just... *waves goodbye*
I took a peek at Avatar the last Airbender (since I just finished it a few days ago) and while I laughed my ass off crying 'Whyyyyy' this, too, was to be expected. Same goes for Teen Wolf, Voltron and Hannibal tbh.
Disclaimer: These are all my personal opinions blah blah I don't want to offend anyone blah blah but I'm entitled to have an opinion and say it on my blog blah blah  
7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?
TWILIGHT XD XD XD IN MY DEFENSE!!!! I was young and impressionable when I first read it okay!!! I've grown up since!!! But oh man I used to love the books (especially the first one) a truly embarrassing amount. These days I can't decide who to despise more, Edward or Bella or Jacob. Don't get me wrong, I still get a lot of joy out of watching the movies and laughing my ass off because they are HILARIOUS, and I read some of Midnight Sun the other year (I quit though because I just couldn't stand it anymore haha) but it's more me being amused by the ridiculousness of it all than me being like, impressed or appreciative.
As far as plot lines or characters go.... no, not really. The things I dislike I dislike at first glance XD The only thing that even comes close is the whole second flautist thing they did in The Untamed VS the novel. When I first watched the reveal on the show I was relieved (mostly for Wei Wuxian's sake) but after learning it went down differently in the book and all the implications that has (especially regarding his reconciliation with Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng) I definitely see the merit in that version. It lends the whole thing more depth, more meaning. It's not that I like one version of events better than the other, I'm mostly undecided which I prefer tbh (though that may change, who knows) but I'm more neutral towards the way things were handled on the show than I was before.

What are oy jk and noona doing now that theyre quarantined? What about yandere jin and oc?
Actually, I can see both of them doing very similar, if not the same, activities. Both couples would be binge watching their favorite guilty pleasure show (for Yandere!Jin it’s Hannibal, for his OC it’s Bate’s Motel, for OY JK it’s The Witcher, and for Noona it’s Grey’s Anatomy). They’ll also make a lot of home-cooked meals, especially Jin since he enjoys cooking with OC often. Noona and JK loves to cook together too but ordering pizza is better since JK can’t get enough of cheese. And of course, lots and lots and lots of romantic, tooth-achingly sweet love-making.

Strangers From Hell (2019)
Dir. Lee Chang-hee
Writer: Jung Lee-Do based on the webtoon written by Kim Yong-Ki
very long post ahead ~
⚠️ TW // death, murder, blood, violence
SPOILERS !!
Goshiwon: a very small room that students live in while studying for an important test. (source: https://www.reddit.com/r/DoesNotTranslate/comments/5zghif/korean_%EA%B3%A0%EC%8B%9C%EC%9B%90_goshiwon_a_very_small_room_that/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Psychopath: a person suffering from chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behavior.
Tumblr media
“be careful with people. people are the most frightening above all else.”
indeed people are frightening. just from this drama, i’m starting to think of going vegetarian. i know its part of the ~cinematic effect~ but the way Ms. Eom (Lee Jeong-eun) handled the meat almost made me gag ;-;. the drama was pretty disturbing too! Seo Moon-jo (Lee Dong-wook) lived a double life as a dentist and someone who kills people for “art”. it absolutely reminded me of Hannibal (2013) because of Moon-jo and Jong-woo’s (Im Siwan) relationship, which reminded me of Hannibal and Will Graham’s relationship.
Tumblr media
Strangers From Hell is about a man named Yoon Jong-woo who moves from Busan to Seoul and starts renting a place in a goshiwon. since he started living in Eden Residence, lots of weird things started to happen until his curiosity has peeked when a close acquaintance had gone missing in the residence which claimed to plan on moving out the next week. he then starts finding a few things of the old tenant in his room, which led to him investigating why the Residence was so sketchy.
during his stay in Eden, the usually polite, calm, and composed Jong-Woo has evolved into an irritable and violent person. he usually doesn’t act on his impulses whenever someone from work or from the residence ticks him off until one of his co-workers keep talking down on him for his work performance, which caused him to beat up this said co-worker. personally, the co-worker was actually so annoying.. it would’ve been better if he was warmer and actually taught Jong-Woo the ropes, so he could maybe do better at his job. the co-worker was also ticking me off while i was watching the drama omg.
eventually, this break-down led to him losing a job and meeting up with his boss and his girlfriend to try and patch things up and talk about the misunderstanding. Moon-jo joins the trio, provoking both the boss and Jong-Woo. Jong-Woo’s boss met his demise that night, making Jong-Woo avoid returning to Eden. unfortunately, this plan was cut short after Moon-jo kidnaps Jong-Woo’s girlfriend, Ji-Eun. (Kim Ji-Eun, i was surprised when i found out she had the same name as the character she portrayed)
this then led to a series of killings, until we’re left with the ending that Jong-Woo was part of all of it all along, that he wasn’t really the innocent guy he claims to be. he was apart of Moon-jo’s plan, his art to be exact- dude this gives me Hannibal and Will Graham vibes ✨
Tumblr media
it was so sad how late Jung-hwa figured it all out and placed the puzzle pieces together. curiosity did kill the cat but it also has good consequences.
okayyy, on to my thoughts throughout the show:
Tumblr media
i was honestly so confused if it was platonic or romantic since Moon-jo likes calling Jong-woo as “babe” / “jagi” / “jagiya”. eh, its probably used to provoke Jong-Woo, since he physically looks so uncomfortable when called with the affectionate nickname.
Tumblr media
i can’t help but mention that i felt so bad for Seok-hyun (No Jong-hyun) when watching the show because i thought that he was like the others due to his first encounter with Jong-Woo. i was really praying for Jong-Woo to stay or try to sneak out with Seok-hyun, but during the last few episodes, he wasn’t really in his right mind to do so. also, if Seok-hyun wasn’t so curious about everything, he wouldn’t end up being killed by Ms. Eom and Deuk-Jong/Deuk Soo (Park Jong-Hwan, i honestly don’t know which is which ;-;). but eh, curiosity killed the cat.
i love how Jung-hwa (Ahn Eun-jin) slowly got into the realization that Jong-Woo isn’t entirely innocent as he claims and seems to be. the guy was literally still wearing the bracelet that Moon-jo gave him! the bracelet consisted of the teeth that Moon-jo mercilessly extracted without anesthesia/pain-killers. i kinda compared this to Hannibal (2013) because like Hannibal, Moon-jo likes keeping trophies of his murders while also under the illusion that he’s doing so for the sake of art and finishing his artwork.
that part where Jong-Woo and his old friend from the military was so sad for me. the part where Deuk-jong/Deuk-Soo where breaking the door down with an axe reminded me of The Shining (1980) where Jack Torrace was breaking the door down to torment his wife, Wendy. it was really stupid for the friend to drink the drink that was clearly planted in Jong-Woo’s room to drink. it was the same drink that Ms. Eom laced with some sort of drug to make you sleep and have almost zero control over your body.
Tumblr media
dude! Kim Ji-Eun looks so much to Ryujin from Itzy! while watching her scenes, i kept thinking, “Ryujin, Ryujin, Ryujin~”. anyways, Ji-Eun is a really good actress and she plays her part very well. i just think that she has this “girlfriend” vibe now to me lmao. she also looks very innocent too and has this constant concerned expression.. like Ryujin does lol.
Tumblr media
alsoooo, LEE DONG WOOK’S DUALITY !! i heard that he filmed Strangers From Hell and Touch Your Heart (2019) in the same year! this dude portrayed Moon-jo really well and i was wondering how he can pull off a tsundere boyfriend and a psychopath so well 😭.
anyways, i love how this show made each character look so disgusting that it was actually so convincing. their acting was so convincing and it actually made me think that they’re a bunch of psychopaths. like i was honestly so disgusted by Hong Nam-bok’s (Lee Joong-ok) character lmao, i was actually thinking what the guy would probably smell like since he doesn’t look like the type to look after himself and only cares about Moon-jo’s art.
in conclusion, i was really entertained by this drama. its been a while since i watched a K-Drama in particular and i’ve been really curious with what this drama is about so i decided to watch it. i’ll probably take a few days to try and move on from this one though lmao.
Tumblr media
thanks for reading !!

if any of you love scary things, i can’t recommend the kdrama Strangers From Hell enough
i watched it months ago but I still think of it, it was such an incredible short series. The characterizations and the themes and the way everything played out was so on point and thoughtful. I mean, it is genuinely terrifying so forewarning. But I found it much more on the vein of Hannibal or Death Note, more heavy on its themes and exploration of humanity then on actual horrible scenes? So I think it’s pretty watchable even if gore isn’t ur thing? I can’t watch movies like texas chainsaw massacre, or horror psychological thrillers usually, and I still could watch this show and find it phenomenal.
Lee Dong-wook is in it, and his acting is next level in it (although a lot of actors were great - I really loved the cop Ahn Eun-jin, the main lead Yim Si-wan, and the older mom Lee Jung-eun too). I tried to watch Goblin AFTER this show, just for more of Lee Dong-wook’s acting. And the tone shift from this show to Goblin gave me such whiplash I couldn’t do it lol.
Also. Apparently. Strangers from Hell is on Netflix now.

Some Fantasia movies
I limited myself to ten matinees this year, which of course meant I missed a bunch of the oddball and one-off evening screenings (would have loved to watch The Phantom of the Paradise with the festival crowd). It was a representative assortment, though: a gritty political European drama, a martial arts flick, a Korean comedy, a horror film, a Masaaki Yuasa anime, a few Asian festival-circuit indies, a short film omnibus, and a 90′s Chow Yun Fat/Ringo Lam actioner.
Master Z: Ip Man Legacy: there is such a thing as the Ip Man Cinematic Universe, apparently (...does it dovetail via Bruce Lee into one of Quentin Tarentino’s alternate worlds?) The protagonist here is the Zhang Jin adversary character from Ip Man 3, but the story and -- truth be told -- the vibe are unrelated. Master Z is a Technicolor vision of 60′s Hong Kong, all antique woods and green/red/golds, no garbage or mildew; blatantly and nostalgically stagey, like the film of a Broadway musical. There are pretty girls in cheongsams, a sassy kid, Tony Jaa lurking in doorways in a trench coat and fedora, a heavy-handed Batman metaphor (sorry: “Black Bat”), Michelle Yeoh as a triad boss -- ah, Michelle Yeoh! -- and Dave Bautista, who is asked to play a Hannibal-esque genteel restauranteur character, though not to sound British, or indeed to pull it off believably. A popcorn flick to watch with an audience, home or otherwise, that is prepared to cheer martial arts fights. 
Extreme Job: a few years ago the KFC a block away from my house closed down, leaving me high and dry in a fried chicken DEAD ZONE [scream emoji] that was unmitigated until several Korean chicken places opened up downtown and started delivering via Uber Eats. Someone explains in Extreme Job that Korean fried chicken is a beloved “commoner food,” but here I am, paying a triple premium over the KFC $10 Thursday mini-bucket special. Hence my buy-in to this movie, wherein a bumbling bunch of vice cops set up surveillance in a fried chicken joint across the street from a drug lord’s premises, then buy the chicken joint, then inadvertently turn it into a word-of-mouth success.
It was a surprise summer hit in Korea, but I found the winning premise under-utilized -- like, too much vice cops punching meth dealers, too little vice cops delivering fried chicken undercover to said meth dealers, inherent comedy thereof? It’s hard for an Asian film to deliver good drug-related gags, is the thing. There’s a Kevin Hart remake in the works, though, and it’s easy to imagine the cultural transplant.
