it's SO funny that when asked what he had to do to prepare for his role in IWTV Sam Reid says he had to learn how to play the piano, learn to speak French, Italian, and English with a French accent. Bailey read IWTV religiously and added her own comments, and kept an actual fucking journal she wrote entirely as Claudia. meanwhile Jacob Anderson, when asked the same question, just responds with “oh nothing, i was already emo”. icons and legends only

i’m so sick of writers who proudly proclaim that they don’t read and directors and actors and other filmmakers who smugly say that they rarely watch movies or any artist who acts like an audience is stupid for connecting with their work like what the fuck is wrong with you that you hold such contempt such derision for the art that you have chosen to make the art that so many people dream of the opportunity to make the art that brings meaning and connection to people’s lives it’s unbelievably disrespectful to both your audience and the art-form and if you can’t muster basic respect for either your art-form or your audience then kindly fuck off and do something else

I looked up the age of the child actors for young Xiao Lanhua (Xiyun) and Dongfang Qingcang because I thought that would be indicative of what their canon ages at the time should be.

Xiao Lanhua’s was eleven when the show filmed, which yeah that tracks. I always imagined her as 10-11 when she was sealed away.

But bb DFQC’s was also eleven, and wow if that isn’t the most excruciating thing I’ve ever heard. Eleven!! When he survived endless torture and was forced to kill his own father!! When he was put on the throne. He wasn’t even a preteen yet. I hate it so much.

This is my personal crossover event of the century

yk usually id go on a fake deep rant or two on how feminizing a character whos a canon misogynist & warmongering sex pest fall into fan perceptions of yadda yadda but yall. this mf reuenthal literally imagined himself as his mother& his mother’s paramour as someone strongly resembling his homeboy. like that fucking flashback sequence in ep 90whatever is insane in so many ways if i ever get into a rewatch again i will drop my thinkpiece on it line by line… all the flashbacks of his mom leonora (who in the ova. was left unnamed) he always creepily resembles her. or rather his brain warps her into resembling him. bc he literally could not have known what she looked like . like he even says the foundational flashback of leonora tryna kill his infant self is not something he could have remembered but he believed it & due to his father’s constant abuse of him in his childhood this attempt on his life as soon as he was born became a cornerstone in the development of his Ego (using this to mean his self). like the society he was born into is so reactionary & chauvinist like all the other women on the empire side besides hilda (whos established as an exception to the rule) have very long hair so it makes no sense for a nobless leonora to have short hair just like reuenthal & look just like him. this is literally just his twisted mind cooking w grease. its not only rationale for his misogyny in whats already a v misogynist fictional society.. its also how he defines himself in relation to his mother. the witch who tried to murder the product of her own infidelity & the witch’s brew, her lookalike son with the ever present reminder of her ‘mistake’, who managed to ruin anything good he had in his life by his own hands. imagine if someone introduced the spaceboy to hormones instead of battlecraft & a hypermilitarized space culture

Whumper sends Whumpee a set of tapes through the mail as part of a hame. They seem happy enough at first, but they get . . . dark.

What starts off as a butterfly caring tutorial glitches into a long rotted garden.

Two friends shopping turns into a robbery by a third.

Friendly baking escalates into a dangerous house fire.

At the beginning and end of every tape, there's distorted words that are barely understandable.

Whumpee needs to put the words together to win Whumper's game. If they don't? Well, there's always round 2 . . .

Reasons to look up/play (if you can) Alan Wake 2:

- this in-universe ad

- multiple music numbers

i can’t decide if i love or hate reneé rapp’s inability to give a fuck during interviews

[celestialscarlet]

I love the casting of Emma D’arcy and Phia Saban as their respective characters- but I will always be a little disappointed at the erasure of their body sizes.

An alternative casting hasn’t struck me for Rhaenyra but I saw a TikTok with Nicola Coughlan and was struck she could’ve been a good Helena.

ok i knew kabru switched up his attitude when talking to toshiro and his party but damn it’s another thing to actually hear it

Laws of Attraction ep 2

I've waited with bated breath all day for this and it was finally available at 20:00 on iqiyi (with a vpn via a google search). I've watched Be My Favourite, My Ride, and Wedding Plan today so this is going to be a whole different vibe 😂

I love my feral unhinged gremlin. I can't wait to see what he does this ep.

How does Tin have no bruises on his body?

(I just can't stop seeing evil!Nanon in Film/Charn...smh...oh god I love him so much though)

(I just love these two actors together. This is might just push me to watch To Sir with Love/Khun Chai sooner rather than later)

Curious. Why would there be something at Tin's home related to Tonthai?

Me thinks the bodyguard has a conscience and will turn on Tonthai/his father eventually.

At least the bruises actually look convincing on these two as opposed to any other bl.

I love the dramatic music.

A green phone case!...is Tin green, I wonder? A green screwdriver...green in the scene of the grandma leaving in the taxi...this needs looking into...

They don't really know how to end a climactic scene. That fight -, first with Nan (I love her spirit!), then Tin, then with Chan, and Tin again - it was all so great! And then...it just stopped and switched scenes and the music just went flat. Anti-climactic.

Also, I'm certain that it's not Charn's favourite shirt...it doesn't have enough frill or flounce to it.

So Tonthai is more brutal and heartless than he was made out to be last ep. Aaaaaand I wonder where he gets it from (the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and all).

I wonder where the mother is 🤔

Oh! It's Tian's (atots) room, right?

Yep, Tonthai's a psychopath...or masking his true feelings because he's so disturbed from his upbringing and life...?

Ok, with this romantic music I can see how people are shipping him and the bodyguard.

It's a bit bright in this bar.

Yas! ORGAN!! And SILVY!

Oh, the subs look better this week, they got niece right, so maybe it is Charn and not Chan.

I forgot Charn has a sad, angsty past. I'm glad for the reminder, now I wonder when we'll find out more.

Oh, ohhhhhh, Tin/the family has a food stall. That's why they have so many plates, and that's what the furniture outside on the street is all about.

Right, so I think Charn is blue - which Tin is wearing in the police station - but Tin is green - Charn comes in wearing his blue but with green poking out of his left chest pocket over his heart (and not for the first time). Ahhhhh, I love colour-coding. (I think red is connected to the law and either the persona Charn has to put on as the ruthless lawyer or the person he was before he became jaded...time will tell.)

The mystery deepens. So I think I was right that the ring is to do with a parent - Charn's mother, it seems, and being blindfolded in the woods may be a flashback connected to it.

Yep. Still enjoying it. Still hooked.

yes, there are absolutely some kdrama tropes that i would like to leave in the past, but also. when some kdramas still have that genuine kdrama flair that remind me of kdramas from my childhood (but in a good way) . . . giggling and kicking my feet! i don't care if some tropes are corny and cheesy, i'm still relieved to find the sillier kdrama tropes alive and well
