Rules: list 10 of your comfort shows and then tag 10 people
Tagged by @lurkingshan. This is actually kind of a funny question because we've been busy in BL for so long that I actually haven't been able to go back and comfort watch much.
What Did You Eat Yesterday? I am always thinking about a rewatch of this show. Whenever I need to calm my brain and go to sleep I put on one of the episodes.
Star Trek. Usually either Deep Space Nine or The Original Series. I've always loved Star Trek. I will continue to love Star Trek.
Babylon 5. We wouldn't have Star Trek: Deep Space Nine or Sense8 without this show. It's a favorite.
Is it Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? I like adventuring party and dungeon crawling anime that aren't isekai. I compromise on harem anime.
Elementary. Yes, it's copaganda, but the relationships in this show are really well done. This is my favorite adaptation of Sherlock Holmes and Watson.
Midnight Diner. No one does late-night programming like Japan. This show is a fantastic slice-of-life experience about the patrons at a restaurant only open late at night.
Haikyuu!! I love this little volleyball anime.
Yu Yu Hakusho. Smile Bomb gets me going every time.
The Fosters. I still love Stef and Lena so much. I do not miss the Brallie nonsense.
Avatar: The Last Airbender. Really one of the biggest moments in my media life, honestly. I return to this show every other year it feels like.
Let's see about tagging @shortpplfedup, @ginnymoonbeam, @littleragondin, @callipigio, @twig-tea, @so-much-yet-to-learn, @dontgofarfromme, @negrowhat, @fluidsoul31, and @jjsanguine

Current Tag Game
Tagged by my dear friends/mutuals/incoherent scream sesh partners @twig-tea (here), @colourme-feral (here), @blmpff (here), @telomeke (here) and @waitmyturtles (here)
Current Time: nearly 5:00 PM
Current activity: Doomscrolling on social media (not recommended), writing this post (highly recommended, please interact on Tumblr, that's what makes this hellsite fun!)
Currently thinking about: Just watched the IFYLITA finale this morning with my bestie @lurkingshan, so my brain is currently ??????-ing all the different iterations of Yai we got to see (I like that Commander Yai looks more self-assured and confident than our widdle-20-something-lost-and-confused-baby Yai, but, DEAR LORD, The Mustache has to go. Just.. nope. Get that man a razor, STAT). Oh, and also, thinking about dinner.
Current favourite song: I recently watched Utsukushii Kare / My Beautiful Man (Season 1) a few days ago and I have the song from the opening credits stuck in my head on repeat: Caramel / カラメル by Mosawo / もさを。(Original MV with English captions)
(I'm also gonna link the Utsukushii Kare Lyric MV from MBS because I want Kiyoi's pretty face on my post)
I've also been feeling nostalgic lately and listening to some decade-old bangers from my teen years (ah time, thou art a cruel wench)
Patakha Guddi lyrics, translated from Hindi, here
Mogathirai lyrics, translated from Tamil, here
Currently reading: Nothin' but meta posts from the lovely big-brained folks of Tumblrville
Currently watching: Oooooh. I actually wrapped up a lot of live watches and caught up on some incredible shows last week, so lemme do 3 mini-lists:
Recently Watched: Only Friends, Utsukushii Kare / My Beautiful Man, If It's With You / Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo, I Feel You Linger In The Air
Currently Watching: Midnight Diner / Shinya Shokudo, endless reruns of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Community
Next-Up on the Watchlist: I Cannot Reach You / Kimi ni wa Todokanai, Shadow, Dark Blue Kiss, Middleman's Love, Last Twilight, Playboyy, The Whisperer
Current favourite character: Ryuji from If It's With You.
< mild spoilers ahead for If It's With You >
This show did an incredible job portraying two people who have different levels/intensities of desire for one another and I was *floored* when Ryuji responded to Amane's confession in episode 4 with so much care, thoughtfulness and respect for both Amane's desire and his own boundaries. "Please make it one sided for a while" will live in my head rent free for the foreseeable future.
And Amane and Ryuji's conversation at the beach in the finale was another heartfelt and expertly written moment. I deeply adore how Ryuji basically went "I miss you and want to meet you whenever I feel like it, and if that means being a lover, then so be it. Let's date".
So yeah, I'm in love with this highly articulate, fictional, Japanese teenage boy
Current WIP: Ohhhhh man, SO MANY. The most pressing one is a retrospective meta on the Only Friends finale, which I must release into the wild before people move on from the show
Tags: I'm epically late to this one, so I might tag folks who have already done this, so if I do, apologies, friends!
@bengiyo, @italianpersonwithashippersheart, @sunshinechay, @syrena-del-mar, @ranchthoughts, @troubled-mind, @sorry-bonebag, @so-much-yet-to-learn and anyone else who wants to participate. No presh!

I'm deeply in love with Master from Midnight Diner and want to write little fluffy sweet fics about cooking together.
I love him so much.
Found this during shut down in 2020 and found it to be a gentle show that's so good and so genuinley kind. A nice way to end the day in a terrible world.
I'm probably searching wrong, but I cannot find any related fics on AO3.
MIght right a wee fic. Gonna write a wee sweet fic.

Lǎobǎn's Recipes
(From the ending credits of 2017 Chinese drama adaptation of Midnight Diner: 深夜食堂)
.
Ep 34: Twice-cooked Pork
Take streaky pork and boil well, then slice thinly.
Cut hot pepper and garlic sprouts to pieces. Slice garlic and ginger thinly.
Stir-fry the pork slices in hot oil until they are browned and set aside. In the same oil saute garlic slices and ginger until fragrant. Add spicy bean paste, rock sugar, water or stock. Then add meat slices again and stir fry on high heat.
Then add chili and garlic sprout pieces and stir fry till the liquid dries up. Pour in Shaoxing wine and cook over high heat and finish.
