Tatreez (Arabic: تطريز) is a type of traditional Palestinian embroidery. Tatreez uses traditional cross-stitch embroidery and is practiced largely among women. The craft was originally practiced in rural areas of Palestine, but is now common across the Palestinian diaspora. Historically, each village in Palestine had their own tatreez patterns. The landscape was a major source of inspiration for the patterns and motifs, which speaks to the variation in style that was common to see among all of the different tatreez expressions that were particular to each Palestinian village.

After the violent displacement and dispossession of Palestinians in 1948, people were living together in refugee camps. The different styles of tatreez became less distinct and have continued to evolve with the diaspora. Following 1948, tatreez evolved to reflect the experiences of Palestinians. Palestinian women began to incorporate the Palestinian flag and its colors into their tatreez as a means of resistance to the occupation of Palestine. Consequently, tatreez became an expression of the identity, heritage and resistance of Palestinian women and their dedication to preserve their ancient culture.

Hello!!! It's been a while since I've watched some bl, getting back to it I'm currently watching the Heart Killers and I love how effortlessly cool the soundtrack is (i love a good movie/drama soundtrack and conversely bad sound design is all the more annoying to me. I love the sound design on this show, it's more high-quality than I expect for Thai BL) What's your favourite ways for finding songs other than the OSTs used in thai BLs? (I so want to listen to all the songs used in this franchise but I think language differences are getting in the way) Thanks for your time, have a good day! :D

I'm afraid I may not be the person for this. My dislike of a boy + guitar as a trope extends to most other aspects of the music in any given show. It's pretty rare for me to like a theme song (let alone background stuff) and so far only 2 shows from Japan (Eternal Yesterday & Our Youth) and a half dozen or so from Korea have entered the sacred space of OTS graduating onto one of my playlists.

I generally listen to Kpop, and I tend to prefer songs/groups that go pretty hard (less bubblegum and more rock). So many OSTs are just overly saccharine for me. There are always exceptions.

For example, I agree with you on Heart Killers. Although I did find some of theirs a little... well... silly.

Thus I don't go to any effort to track down or engage with soundtracks. I simply follow various YT content creators who report (with samples) on new comebacks out of Korea. I follow up with the songs I like. (I'm not a gen 5, or even much of a gen 4 stan, so I rarely go for albums anymore.)

The Technical Bit

I can tell you what I would do. Since you did ask.

Just load up Shazam, SoundHound or (likely best, since it's from Tencent) QYin to my phone and hold it up to the speaker on my watching device while that song is going. (Rumor is WeChat's "Shake" feature works particularly well for Chinese stuff.)

Once the app gave me the title, I'd search for it on YT or in a music app using the song title in the original language's script (just copy and paste that from google or whatever).

All that said, I am 99.9% sure at least 3 of my moots are big into the OST side of the equation so maybe they could step forward with tips?

I'm not leaving you behind

At a time when the terror of war reached unprecedented levels due to the mismanagement of thinking machines, when human madness was overcome by the artificial one, the true ruins were not those of destroyed houses and cities but those of the values ​​that led us to what we once called civilization and humanity. A state agent, 0678C3 (whose own name she no longer remembered) became a problem when her mental "fitting" device was affected by an unexpected bug.
