yes, charlos is adorable and cute and all

but they’re also so real and raw, if you get what i mean

like they’re bound to get into arguments and misunderstandings bcz they are rivals/competitors on the track to an extent esp since they’re teammates too

but they obviously have so much admiration and appreciation and love for one another and that’s what makes their bond so strong and true and i absolutely love it.

and i love that that’s how you write them, they’re so real and raw in your fics and that’s the best thing about them <3

ahhh thank you! I really appreciate that, although I often feel I go a rather 'fluffy' direction in my fics, but I almost can't help it when I write lol

I agree with you tho - they definitely have their arguments I'm sure, but I think they're both very good at compartmentalizing and separating what happens on track vs. off, and yet they're able to work together when the need arises. They respect one another a lot, which shows in many ways, but particularly how charles always makes a point to call carlos 'fast' when giving him compliments, and praise how he works and his values. And carlos, literally from the very beginning, has praised charles for being one of, if not the best, qualifiers on the grid, and has always held him up as a benchmark for how he, himself, can improve.

Just found this quote and it's very relevant: "Laurent Mekies felt the partnership between Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc was “deeper than being friends. The level of respect, the level of desire to work together, the level of trust in both as characters and in technical abilities, is huge.”"

And then, of course, is how much they make each other laugh, and how they literally refuse to name one or the other as 'funnier' (I find this incredibly endearing and will keep bringing it up). They've been asked so many times, usually during games/interviews where they've blatantly flattered themselves in their answers, and yet every time, they both get all quiet and bashful and just say that they both make each other laugh........😑

Anyway I'm feeling emo about them today I guess

Sometimes I think of Robron and the family they were supposed to have, and I honestly just want to cry. They deserved so much better!!

^^Just LOOK at them and tell me they wouldn’t have been the best dads to Seb growing up, as well as all the other kids they would’ve had!!!

Me: Why can't I make myself just do things?

Also me: Because you have ADHD.

Me: Yeah I know, but WHY can't I just make myself do things?

Also me: Because you have ADHD.

Me: Yeah but WHY--

Also me: Because. You. Have. ADHD.

Me: But I need to do things! I WANT to do them! And I'm still not doing them!

Also: Yeah that's what ADHD is. And you have it.

Me: But--

Also me: Oh, shut up.

also I had a breakthrough today that I had in fact overthought a Specific Problem to Death and that I had created a monster in my own mind and that’s why it felt like I was being eaten alive every time I tried to solve it.

Your essay on Joong's underrated acting skills deepened my Joong appreciation so much, that I watched Mafia the Series, I'm watching Ploy's Yearbook (even though there is a serious lack of Joong so far), and I'm planning on watching The Warp Effect too. I haven't watched het shows in over ten years, so this is a big deal! 😂 I really liked him with Dunk in their shows, but MTS gave me another facet of him, because he's so timid in it, unlike in SIMM and HA, where he's (seemingly) very cool and in control. So thank you for making me a full time Joong (and Dunk) girl 💜

i saw this message first thing in the morning when i woke up yesterday and it instantly put me in a good mood!!! <3

YESSSSSS I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT

mafia the series might actually be my absolute fave thai het-show, it's just SO funny!!!! and the entire cast is so great, like, not just joong but the entire cast plays off each other SO well. and don't even get me started on gina virahya and her portrayal of anna kondra!!!!

you know, when i went into mafia the series i saw the poster and was like "ughh i really am gonna have to sit through this standard (overly) dramatic mafia show just for joong, huh. the things i do for my boy..." and then. AND THEN. you can imagine my surprise. i was crying tears of laughter throughout the show and i was actually laughing so hard that my mom made a comment about how she could hear my laugh in my room

beam is my loser boy and joong portrays him in such an adorably awkward way, i love it <333

and yes there IS a serious lack of joong in ploy's yearbook so far :((((

it was quite funny tho bc in the one scene where joong does show up i immediately recognized him by the back of his head, like!! i saw this:

and instantly went "OH there's my boy!!!!!" 😂😂😂

and i can't wait to see him with film bc film did extremely well with gun in not me and i feel like film and joong will also work together really well

you know, i'm always happy to turn people into full time joong (and dunk) girls!!!!!!

i've adored them ever since simm which i watched live from ep2 onwards. fun fact, actually: when i started simm i actually had no idea who they were (even though technically i'd seen dunk in bad buddy already, except i wasn't paying attention to the random high school bandmates and so i didn't actually recognize dunk and only realized later on ahahah)

aaaanyway, i had no idea who they were, right? and so in 2022 my mom and i spent two nights in prague during easter and in the evening we were in our hotel room and we were kinda looking for something to watch. and i was like "hey look, gmmtv has a new bl out and it looks kinda cute and fluffy judging by the thumbnails?? and like something that doesn't require too much brain power?? plus, there's also only two eps out so far, so we'll be caught up right away" and so we watched the first two episodes and then the two of us ended up watching every new ep together every week hahaha

i actually didn't really talk about it on tumblr back then and when you go back on my blog you'll see that there are hardly any simm post. but really, with every new simm episode that aired i liked joongdunk more and more. and especially once the characters started dating i was actually so in awe about just how comfortable joong and dunk were with each other and how they absolutely weren't afraid to touch? like, their physical affection was just so casual, like it was the most natural thing in the world to them in an "i'm-not-even-thinking-about-it-bc-it's-so-normal" kind of way and that was just soooo refreshing to watch?? i was (and still am) truly amazed

and when just a couple of months later, at the end of 2022 gmmtv announced joongdunk were gonna get another show together i got SO excited!! and also when it was revealed that simm was included in our skyy 2!!!!

and then hidden agenda started airing and then i was tagged in that tag game and then i went to watch joong's entire filmography and then i ended up falling into a joongdunk rabbit hole and here we are...

anyway, i have multiple agendas and one of them is turning people into joong fans and dunk fans and joongdunk fans sllksdfd

and my other agenda is getting people to watch mafia the series, bc it's truly a gem of a show!!!!

(speaking of agendas: the only thing that's missing in your message is you telling me that you approve of my fight for a sexy joongdunk vampire bl, like... that would have made the message and the influence of my joong/dunk/joongdunk blogging complete 😂😂😂)

call me by fire ep. 0

(youtube link)

i watched it so you don't have to. and also because i like trashy reality tv sometimes.

the premise of the entire show: 31 contestans, 5 competitions, double trials. they "compete for the third-generation family seats" (i think it's like the top 5 places or something?). they focus on "singing, dancing, composing and performing".

ep. 0: introductions and picking opponents for the preliminary competition.

the preliminary competition: 31 members divided into 10 groups for 1 vs 1 battle, with a total of 5 battles. the opponents were picked by chance (mostly. it's complicated. don't worry about it).

they have 100 minutes to prepare the performances. the five winning teams will be challenged by one other artist they invited (if he surpasses any of the teams he joins cmbf s3, if not he leaves).

the member ranked first in the winning group becomes the MVP and gets priority in choosing songs.

Jeff's appearances:

he appears for a bit at 20:44

32:22 - the interview (he was really cute)

35:25

38:18

a glimpse at 39:10

41:10 he talks to some of the others in english

41:46

another glimpse at 45:34 (he looks confused because the guy they're all greeting was in an accident where he got severely injured and he's still recovering so they're all impressed to see him)

47:14 a shot of everyone, he's in the front left

55:13 Jeff's team gets matched with their opponents (the "i'm hungry" line. as a kimchay fan i'm biting him)

56:23 another glimpse

i don't know why Jeff is in the vocal-dance group but his "special moves" are vocal, phin and thai. they each get their most famous work listed under their name - that's why "Fade" is there.

Jeff is in the "young ones" group (as one of the other contestants called them), most of the other participants are much older. and the participants range from actors to singers to models to dancers.

Jeff's team got matched with the dancers as their opponents.

overall opinion:

the contestants seem charismatic and likeable (no surprise there, with all of them having 10 years and more of experience in the industry). but i don't get the reason why most of them are participating? i think it's mainly to either have a break-through or because their careers are slowing down and they want advertising? this is my opinion, i don't know enough about any of them to really guess.

the english subtitles are surprisingly good.

i was continuously reminding myself that this is not the Jeff show because i kept pouting that he's not appearing on screen very often :(

would i watch this if Jeff wasn't in it? probably not. but Jeff is in it and my clownery knows no bounds so here we are.

Envoy

"I know I've brought this up before, but you really are a father figure to them," Rowan said.

"And I but merely sought to be an envoy to them for the people of Etheirys. Mayhap a teacher..." Urianger said.

"Did your teachers let you sleep on their laps in Sharlyan?" Rowan chuckled.

Urianger sighed and rubbed the slumbering Lopporit's ear. Rowan's heart melted as Sleepingway lived up to his name and snuggled closer.

"Only when I was very small."

Rowan had to admit that she was growing proud of the Lopporits. With only minimal inspiration from her and Urianger, Dreamingway was opening new purposes for Venat's familiars, one that they could each claim in their own way. That their actions would continue to be a boon to the Star, long after the Final Days... it gave Rowan hope for her own future. 

She wondered if that was their true purpose. The faith that Venat had placed into Rowan, not Minthe or any of the other Ancients had been rolling in her mind of late. That and her conversation with her of the Final Days. Of how grateful she was that, at the very least, Urianger was spared the terrors of Thavnair because he was staying with the Lopporits. Were they ever meant to be a safety net, or just appear to be so? 

Rowan sighed at the impossibility of finding that answer and kissed her lover's back as she drifted off to sleep.
