friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

A still from forthcoming jmovie 10DANCE. The two leads played by actors Machida Keita and Takeuchi Ryoma stand in a train, near the doors. Takeuchi's character on the right is touching Machida's character's face. They are staring at each other very intensely.

#BurnoutSyndrome I would apologize for how much I post on Wednesdays, but you have no idea how long I've been waiting for a show to give me proper brainrot, so I won't! 🫶

#DynamiteKiss I unironically LOVED this romantic toilet paper exchange.
Screenshot from episode 9 of kdrama Dynamite Kiss. Medium close up of black-haired woman in her early 30s who is looking at a man with a shocked expression on her face.

Same scene, close up of a hand holding a roll of toilet paper out to someone. Same scene, medium shot of the woman and man from the previous images. She's reaching out to grab the toilet paper with both of her hands. He's looking at her. They're backlit and there's greenery behind them.

Ari Baran, Goaltender Interference (Carina Press, 2025), 25%. 💙📚 🌈📚
Photo of an excerpt on a Kobo device. The excerpt, from the novel Goaltender Interference by Ari Baran, was later highlighted in orange. It reads: Aiden exhaled, sharply, and said, in a rush, "Matt, I've fucking missed you. I've really fucking missed you." "Yeah," Matt said, softly. "Well. That's how it goes."

There is so much gay romance TV out there, she yells into the wind. It's just not in English, she screams.

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?" Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy." Santa responds "Very nice!" Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?" Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.

A leopard motif in green superimposed over a fuzzy purple hat with, all on a white background. Book that surprised me: James Frankie Thomas' Idlewild. Two hands in red are reaching towards each other on a pink background. Book I liked less: Monika Kim's The Eyes Are the Best Part.

#DynamiteKiss A girl (me) is weak, pt 2.
Screenshot from episode 8 of kdrama Dynamite Kiss. A dark haired man is lying on his side on a duvet. There's orange light coming from an off screen window illuminating him. Same scene. The camera is now on a woman asleep on the same duvet. Same scene. Extreme close-up of the man's eyes. He's staring intently at the woman off screen. Same scene. Overhead shot of the man and the woman lying on the duvet. The woman is still asleep; the man looks to be going through something.

I love how many people discovered Pond (Ponlawit) this year 😭.

(Obligatory #180DegreeLongitudePassesThroughUs plug. 🙏)
Screenshot from episode 1 of queer Thai drama series 180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us. A young man with black hair and tanned skin wearing a black t shirt with a wide neck that highlights his clavicles. There's a serious, melancholic expression on his face. Behind him, trees and bushes, lots of greens.

It feels a little weird, having to say this, but: I get a decent amount of people following me and then unfollowing me the day after, I assume because I didn't immediately follow back (at least, that seems too little a time to figure out how obnoxious I really am and have buyer's regrets 😅).

#BurnoutSyndrome You know I'm so serious about a show when I see that the episode's running time is under fifty minutes and I think "But that's so short!!!"
