The thing the Benoit Blanc movies get so right, that many mysteries now do not, is the core social allegory. The fundamental underpinning of the Golden Age, Agatha Christie-style mystery is a set of characters living in a co-created fantasy world, ignoring the rot that is already present.

Khemjira rewatch ep 7 - one of my favorites for reasons I'm sure no one can guess
But first we have sad baby Pharan with a hopeless tangle of tape out of a cassette his mom had loved. We have lost some good material symbolism in the digital world, haven't we?

Coping with getting up for my weekly swim in the freezing morning by huffing and sulking about it. Some MEAN PERSON who has NO RESPECT for my feelings is making me do this. She doesn't even care that I ALREADY had to get up and and leave the house before coffee once this week. Tyrant.

Great thing about winter is I can pretend my hair is bad because I wore a hat and not because I couldn't be bothered

Watching the next to last episode of Me and Who and suddenly we have decided to sub both Phi and Hia as Ge?? Fascinating
I mean I'm all for making anglophone audiences learn terms of address but we could maybe go all the way and make them learn the ones in the show's language

I have a chapter and a half of line edits and one small knot of substantive edits before the book is DONE done done. Feels like a zeno's paradox situation to the finish line but I must believe that I will get there. Probably even this week.

Quite a few good ones, but My Stubborn stands head and shoulders above the rest for variety, hotness, and storytelling in its smut. Taken as a drama it's got much to criticize, but as an erotic narrative it's in a class by itself

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

Much respect to Off Jumpol for continually being willing to play romantic leads the audience will HATE at some point
Obviously Burnout Syndrome is a level-up but he's been doing this his whole career and I love it

Comfort is not usually what I look for in a story but See Your Love was very much a comfort show for me (it spanned 2024 and 2025 but I always count by what year a show ended in). I feel happy just thinking about the characters.

39 BLs that finished airing this year. Also 4 GLs and 2 other QLs (both poly in this case.) Also watched 4 BLs that aired in prior years. If you count the full list, it's 49.
Then I'm watching 3 more that will end in December, so my total year tally should be 52, unless I binge another older show.

This is me politely asking you all to review this skeet and, as a result, think twice before engaging in "smell-this 'activism.'"

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Head 2 Head is a pretty light show but it's a good time, and the besties side plot is starting to get its hooks into me. I love when both characters are Aware of what's between them and slowly circling the drain

So much GL, so much genre, more earthmix comedy, a lot of fucky situations
The biggest sickos.yes AND the biggest "oh no please do not" came in the GL segment, so win some lose some, but overall I'm excited for the number and range of GL

- Up way too early

- A few things that were exactly what I wanted
- Favorite gifts often ones I never thought to ask for
- Odd mix of giddiness and letdown by the end
