cathy

you could not convince me to pay for labubu blind boxes bc i remember love live gacha pull luck

#sclassiraised i can't believe i'm crying over what is technically a "regression isekai with a power scaling plot" novel.... help

#sclassiraised NOT A DRY EYE IN THE HOUSE AS DUNGEON!HYJ REALIZES HE'S THE MONSTER OF THE DUNGEON AND YET CAN ONLY FOCUS ON HOW HAPPY HE IS THAT REAL WORLD YOOJIN AND YOOHYUN MADE UP AND LIVE TOGETHER NOW

#sclassiraised i'm going to fucking CRY

#sclassiraised THE WAY BROCON IS THE BEATING HEART OF S-CLASS HUNTERS EVERY TIME

#sclassiraised oh NO not yoohyun having to meet pre-regression yoojin I THINK I MIGHT HAVE TO PASS OUT.... I CAN'T HANDLE THIS....

#sclassiraised i can't get over how much i love them. their dynamic is so thorny and hyj's obsession over his brother hangs over them so much and it is so painful to see how badly it went pre-regression bc hyj just could not be there for anyone bc he was so fucked up about his brother

#sclassiraised fuck

#sclassiraised LOVE THAT NONE OF THIS WORKED AND THE REAL THING THAT THREW SHJ OFF IS "AND CHIEF SONG TOOK A VACATION"

#sclassiraised yelling YOU ARE MY BABY DADDY to get the mirrorverse version of your boyfriend to stop trying to kill you

#sclassiraised the scream i just screamed

#sclassiraised brocon is still the strongest love in this story LMAO

#sclassiraised also love that hyj owes a bunch of people apologies for allowing himself to get kidnapped and almost sold in hong kong but of COURSE he just had to get pulled into a dungeon built out of his reality where his brother """hates""" him and his boyfriend disappeared bc they never met

#sclassiraised young chaos throwing the world's biggest truth bomb like YES. YES. i wish every battle shounen got this talk.

#sclassiraised new thread. i'm so reluctant to finish reading the available chapters bc then i'll be out of s-class hunters and i love them... i love all of these characters....

INCREDIBLE

just saw "sabbath queen" and it made me so emotional... really wish judaism was real (jk please see if you can find a showing in your city bc it is so worth it and will evoke so many feelings and thoughts)

08/50: bizarre love triangles ("secondo piatto," "close the last door") I used to joke that every bl generation gets the "Banana Fish," and specifically the Yut Lung character, they deserve. Perhaps every generation also gets their own version of "Close the Last Door."...

if i had a nickel for every time a bl manga was about getting drunk at your crush's wedding and sleeping with your crush's new wife's ex, i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but was enough for this post about "close the last door" and "secondo piatto."

07/50: same as it ever was (sagan sagan, "old-fashioned cupcake") One of the hardest stories to write and be appreciated for is the ordinary love story between two ordinary characters. Summarized roughly, "Old-Fashioned Cupcake" is so nondescript and generic it...

then i finally (!) sat down and properly wrote something about sagan sagan's "old-fashioned cupcake," which remains one of my absolute favorite bl manga of all time.

06/50: love me at my most cringe ("punch drunk love," "my dearest patrolman," "happy crappy life") In manga, love is often said to be a game, and the first one to fall, or at least to admit to falling, is "the loser." But what exactly being the loser in a game of love means only manifests in...

week 6 proposes that when bl characters are cringe, they are free.

and then i wrote a manifesto about inherin's debut "ennui," which discusses the pitiable vs pathetic uke, how the true marginalization of "ennui" is physical disability and not sexuality, and our beautiful mc taeheun who must inevitably be betrayed by the ending.

more crossposting. week four was about "virtual strangers" and "turns out my online friend is my real-life boss," two bl about secret/double-identities and mmorpg romances

joked with a coworker the other day, "you know like they say, mama didn't raise no quitter" and he looked at me like i had grown a third head

also, what if the only valid sex act is cunnilingus? really makes you think.

"sinners" posits a very important question: what if vampires like irish music

the recent obsession with lip liners has got to end. your lipstick looks good on its own!!! i don't need every red lip to have a brown dimension!!!!!!

had to explain green line theory to gatsby today. "i was blissfully unaware of this until now" he says to me mournfully.

best season is here

someone said it's "zone of interest" for morons and gonna be honest i agree with that..... the sound design is very good, so rare to see a film made with so much care and attention to detail that really is just like "yeah, nothing to add from me, thanks 👍"

i truly have no thoughts about this film. it's what it says on the tin. sound design good. an interesting slice of something that builds up to nothing and stands for nothing. the most accurate reenactment only at the end they're like "hey, so, no pressure, just something that was on my mind."
