i think one of the reasons i really like bernard and darla is because they met him at a time when he wasn't robin. to me, tim drake has always felt like an amalgamation of robin and tim. and he's good at it y'know? being tim drake and robin but when bernard and darla meet him at grieves he can't be robin. he has to just be tim drake. and he's obviously struggling but he tries for his father. and that's so interesting to me because who is tim drake without robin? he obviously doesn't know either. and we see him explore this in urban legends. he even asks himself in urban legends, "who am i if i'm not robin?" and i don't think it's too much of a surprise that at the end of urban legends, when he's figured out what he wants, he chooses the boy who only ever knew him as tim drake.

It has been a long time since I watched a mainland bl that is explicitly gay and has kissing. Gym Affairs (教练求放过) is a 24 episode short series (2-5 min per ep), released in February 2024. The story is simple, it's about a rich kid who hires a fitness coach to improve himself. After a bit of an antagonist start, they become friends, and fall for each other (of course). There's a little bit of angst and misunderstandings, but it gets resolved rather quickly, and the ending is happy (no one dies, disappears, or gets cancer!) 🥳
I don't know if there were any mainland bls where the ml explicitly said they were gay, but it's refreshing to see.
The characterizations, plot, and humor all worked. There aren't any award winning performances, but I think the acting was fine for an indie short. The sound quality is not so good sometimes, but at least there's no dubbing (my long standing gripe with cdramas). I think one of the best things about this series is the off beat humor.
Who would punch a spirit/ghost? Would that even work?! 😂
I laughed out loud for real watching these two idiots eat steak with chopsticks.
I thought that all we'd get was snuggling. That's already pretty big for a mainland bl.
But then we got this
and I was like

one of the oddest arguments i've ever gotten into was like. i had agreed to give a dude a chance. we were on a first date. and he got. just. so mad. because i had told him i read about 2-5 books a week.
but he found out it was actually that i listen to 2-5 audiobooks. he was dead set on the idea - that's not reading, it's just listening. that i was lying, somehow, by implying i'd "read" the book.
language has a beautiful ability to adapt over time, particularly in the face of technology. when i "connect to the internet" i'm referencing the oldschool method of literally plugging into the internet - which i very rarely physically do. i roll down my window, which is a reference to the circular mechanical action it used to take. hell - the floppy disc remains our resolute save file icon. when i say i "ran to the store," nobody expects me to actually run - and what my version of running to the store looks like and your version are probably pretty different.
i told the guy, baffled: i look at things through glasses, that's still seeing. nobody complains i'm filtering the image.
he says: that's not the same and you know it.
i use audiobooks because i have adhd, and it makes it so i can actually focus. i am using it to help a medically diagnosed condition.
language also has a really cool ability: when we read something, our brains look at a word and make an image. when we hear a story, our brains hear a word and make an image. whether we hear it or read it - the word means the same thing, written or spoken. there is no quantifiable difference in the knowledge-encoding experience - i still happily hallucinate while i'm listening.
and i just kind of stared at him while he was telling me that "claiming" i had "actually read" a book that i had actually-listened-to was lying
and my only baffled response was like: "... are you gatekeeping the experience of... reading?"
