accidentally watched 6 eps of Love in the Clouds this afternoon

rec for fans of:
- identity play
- improv fake dating (mutually vibes-based, not negotiated)
- plotty scheming
- familiar faces
- Hou Minghao looking excellent as always in elaborate sequined robes, and sometimes doing magic too

That’s such a fluffy, sleepy pumpkin 🧡

Watercolor illustration of a bunch of colorful pumpkins, with a beige striped cat sleeping on top of them curled up into a ball, slightly resembling the round pumpkins itself.

plus Machida Keita (one of the grandkids) is being very quiet and wears small glasses, so he's probably up to no good

and we've got a rich old guy who left his estate to whichever of his grandkids can figure out a specific riddle for each of them, provided they can survive freak accidents of the sort that wiped out previous generations during their own inheritance squabbles 🍿

Diane Keaton in her Manhattan apartment with Buster, an Abyssinian, photographed by Jill Krementz in 1977

black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

Diane Keaton could have directed Annie Hall but Woody Allen could NEVER have directed the music video for Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth"

I just realised I have purchased three notebooks in the last 30 days and have not written in any of them (...yet)

one of the recently-completed dramas is that Desire omegaverse romp, so I think I want something a bit more taut and clever, but on the other hand it never hurts to have some mindless fun on the go

I would ask for recs but the list, she is so long already 😭

after finishing a few dramas I've spun the wheel on the eternal to-watch list and settled on Vigilante, from 2023. 2 eps in I'm weighing up short episodes (can finish it) vs slightly cartoonish overdone tropes (the journalist's red hair and devotion to ratings is amusing, but possibly not enough)

today i had to do three work things: one took the whole morning but got done, the next was a quick but intense and hopefully useful meeting, and the third was reading something i suspected i would not enjoy (i didn't) but hooray all three are DONE

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

right? the ska lilt and the horns, so very enjoyable. I need to listen to their post-military service album from earlier this year

(also! you might enjoy Woodz, specifically the OO-LI EP with Drowning/Busted, with added fun fact that he's Yibo's former Uniq bandmate and they share a birthday)
