Writing fic as Lirelyn, original as VB Ruth (coming March 2026!)
she/her or ze/zem.
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.

I'm at that stage in a work project where progress is defined as "got a different error message this time"

Time for episode 6!

This may be a lazier liveblog as I'm feeling a little under the weather, but we'll see

We start off strong with my queen Fresh Arisara as Pharan's ailing mother

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

Shine of course

Khemjira and Revenged Love also made me weep softly but Shine was full breakdown

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.
Let’s wrap up the year with questions about your favorite BL experiences, moments, and series.
Each day in December, I will post a new question.

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

DID YOU SEE THIS AWFUL THING THIS AWFUL MAN SAID

HOW ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE GUY, ISN'T IT HE TERRIBLE

OK, so... why are you his street team? Why are you signal-boosting?
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

Media Roundup: Khemjira, A Wild Radiance, The Bangkok Boy
It's been a busy fall: I pushed for and met some extra-high writing goals in September and October, and I'm putting in the final edits on The Citizen of Eastport. My cover artist has also been hard at...

What if I just watch burnout syndrome ep 1 again? And again every day until ep 2 comes out?

I am happy with my presents 💖
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
GMMTV showcase really is the closest I get to how Christmas morning felt as a kid.

- Up way too early
- So many hopes and inevitable disappointments
- 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

Learned a marketable skill set with the idea of doing some consulting to supplement my adjunct teaching income... life blew up, teaching became not viable, company I was consulting for wanted to hire someone full time and now that's my career
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

I love all four of the cast OSTs and MVs for Khemjira, but damn Mantra goes so hard

For years I've supported Juntos, a community-led, Latine, immigrant org in Philly that does deportation defense, community care, and leadership development work. Right now they are campaigning to prepare for 2026. If you're able, donations would be so appreciated!

The problem is, when it's Saturday I'm watching too many shows, but Monday-Wednesday there is nothing new and I'm bereft

Anyway I started two new shows today
