Ok, I ship these two already. The way her mouth parted when he placed her hand on his forehead. A perfect hot detail. These two are giving it their all. 👏🖤 #Glory #cdrama

Super heavy rain burst coming down. Be careful, peeps. 🌧
We lost someone in our community earlier this week. 😢 #SantaBarbara #Goleta

And I made #bao last night. Why the color you ask instead of white? It's because I use coconut sugar and don't care about the color, though I did put some vinegar in the water.

Topically, I am having #tea today that requires you to dump the first cup out, as the 2nd and 3rd are the peak of flavor for it.

🚨 This is a key point about #GiftGiving that many women struggle with in regard to their love partners who make no effort. It's not the gift itself, but more do you think of me at all, do you SEE me, did you take time to care for me, because otherwise one feels taken for granted. #Glory #cdrama
Rong Shan Bao says, "The value of a gift depends on the giver's intention." She wears a white dress with a red collar and stands in an elaborately decorated receiving room or pavilion as she speaks to her prospective suitors. This is from the cdrama Glory.

If you are watching or plan to watch Glory, make sure you watch to the end of each episode. They have some lovely info about teas and the #tea trade, etc. that they share after each of the final credits.

Yay! @ivydrama.bsky.social saved me with the mention. We've added #NoTailToTell to the list! #kdrama
Keep 'em coming if you think of any, peeps. This list is rather small with only 25 shows so far. Fox demons count as well.

What was the new #kdrama that was supposed to have a nine-tailed fox in it? I saw it mentioned a few days ago, but I've totally lost it, & want to add it to our fox, fox demon, gumiho, list. Also, any other new dramas I should add? #cdrama, #jdrama #ThaiDrama #tdrama #TaiwaneseDrama
Dramas/Films with Foxes, Gumihos, Fox Demons, etc. - Collab (25 shows) - MyDramaList
This list is for dramas and movies that have foxes in them. I'm so appreciative of Blue Sky buddies who helped compile it. These are not necessarily recommended dramas, but they do have foxes in them ...

I greatly appreciated #TheWhiteOliveTree. A worthwhile & important watch for those interested in the human psyche, it delves deep into emotional states. Tears were shed, but in the end, though it was found through unusual, perhaps, uncomfortable means, a feeling of peace pervaded. 🙏🖤

Text says, "... the gentleness of that fleeting moment." as Li Zan and Song Ran embrace. They stand in the street on a rainy night with a stone wall and street lights behind them. Overlapping that can be seen their vehicle parked by the side of the road while they stand on a mountain looking off toward a field of white olive trees. This is from the cdrama The White Olive Tree.

#TheWhiteOliveTree shared broadly about the complexity of war & its cruelty to both the casualties & survivors. It also illustrated how we can find light during periods of darkness, darkness can in turn eclipse light, & the best thing about ourselves can also be the worst thing. #白色橄榄树 #cdrama

🚨 Self-love is hard when one feels less than. If one gives up on one's self, ultimately, none can help them. By reaching out to & supporting others, even when one is weak, one can hopefully find a small measure of strength & perspective from which to start to heal. #TheWhiteOliveTree #白色橄榄树 #cdrama
Li Zan says, "If we give up on ourselves," as he sits in a hospital room. Lyrics say, "Each step is singing in the light." He wears his volunteer fatigues, and his face has a thoughtful slightly sad expression. This is from the cdrama The White Olive Tree.

🚨 "It's better to die a broken piece of jade than live a life of clay." In life, one may be consumed by the need to be useful, helpful, have meaning or a goal which comes at a great cost to achieve as if an obsession one can't control, an avalanche of motivation #TheWhiteOliveTree #白色橄榄树 #cdrama

🚨 I sensed a feeling of emptiness from #LiZan before he experienced extreme PTSD. His need to be of use to & care for others far surpassed his care for himself. While he made strides to get well, his pain sent him into a void of unmanageable proportions. #TheWhiteOliveTree #白色橄榄树 #cdrama
Li Zan says, "It's not just a void." His eyes are closed and he looks like he is quietly enduring something. Song Ran appears asleep and her head is resting on his shoulder. They sit on his couch and both wear white t-shirts. This is from the cdrama The White Olive Tree. Li Zan says, "It might be an abyss" His eyes are open and he looks quietly into the space in front of him. Song Ran appears asleep and her head is resting on his shoulder.

🚨 People don't want to burden others & may not want their weaknesses spoken about, because when put into words, they become real, they must be dealt with. Discretion & selective sharing allow them to pretend the pain doesn't exist or exists to a lesser degree. #TheWhiteOliveTree #白色橄榄树 #cdrama
Li Zan says, "Do you know what it means" as he sits talking with his friend in a restaurant. He wears a black jacket with white stripes on the tops of the shoulders and arms.

🚨 Feelings vacillate. Even during the hardest of times, we find moments to connect, to distract us from pain, to love, & love, love doesn't always come when we are healed & whole; it can come when we're broken; it can come because we are broken. #EbbAndFlow #TheWhiteOliveTree #白色橄榄树 #cdrama
Li Zan stands outside holding Song Ran's wrist above his shoulder. He has dirt fom a conflict on his face. He wears a brown t-shirt and dog tags. The song "Te Amo" plays. This is from the cdrama The White Olive Tree. Song Ran and Li Zan stare out a fogged window upon which they have written their names in the moisture. He reaches around her from behind and they both smile as their heads are nestled close together. They are in an apartment back where they live cooking in the kitchen and the living room can be seen behind them. She wears a pink sweater and an apron, he wears a white sweatshirt. This is from the cdrama The White Olive Tree. Li Zan and Song Ran hug with relief on her face. They stand outside and he's in his black fatigues with gloves, while she wears a blue jean jacket.

🚨#SongRan shares a similar message that war makes casualties of a great deal more people than those who perish. Self-blame, the inability to overcome, as well as feelings of futility & weakness reverberate inside the living ever more. #WeShouldntButWeDo #IAmTheEnemy
#TheWhiteOliveTree #白色橄榄树 #cdrama
Song Ran tells Li Zan, "Blaming ourselves" as she cups his chin tenderly. They sit against a tree and her arm is around his neck to hold him. He looks sad and his mouth is slightly ajar.

🚨 Though #LiZan knows "Humans are fragile," he does not accept it willingly. His friend tries to remind him that self love is important, that while he has boundless compassion for others, he is too hard on himself. #IMustBeNotMe #KeepSomeKindnessForYourself
#TheWhiteOliveTree #白色橄榄树 #cdrama
LiZan says, "I can't stand this fragile feeling." He feels not like his normal self, and it's eating him up inside. He looks downward as it's hard for him to share this feeling.

🚨 There is an unshakable feeling of being alone when one is dealing with trauma. Why am I not able to overcome, to be "normal" or strong, while others can? Even though rationally one knows it's okay to not be okay, frailty can haunt one like a spectre. #WhyAmI #TheWhiteOliveTree #白色橄榄树 #cdrama
A tear escapes Song Ran's eye as text says, "Because when you say it out loud, it feels like—" and lyrics say, "Heading toward her shore." This is from the cdrama The White Olive Tree.

🚨 When one experiences great trauma, the pain is lonely & isolating. However, sometimes healing can be found with another who has been through the same tragedy. #SongRan & #LiZan, who gravitated toward each other initially, reach out to 1 another. #MyFellowSurvivor #TheWhiteOliveTree #白色橄榄树 #cdrama
A tear runs down Li Zan's face as he looks at the text left on the window of his car by Song Ran as rain pours down outside. Lyrics say, "When love is buried deep." This is from the cdrama The White Olive tree. Li Zan's hand reaches out to trace text left on the window of his car by Song Ran as a vision of her (it was in the past that she did it) writes it fom the outside.

🚨 #TheWhiteOliveTree shows how people grapple with more pain than they can carry & how magical thinking & escape are ways of dealing with it when there is nothing to cling to for comfort. It cautions if you don't want, you can escape the pain, but with that [sadly] also [lose] joy.
