I think at the end of the day, one of the most impressive things about gap (and many Thai shows in general) is that it's on YouTube, for free, for the whole world to watch. That's it. They just created this dream show on a decent budget and then uploaded it on YouTube, with subtitles, not geoblocked, and if you have access to the intenet you can just watch it. No subscription, no demands.

It feels a bit surreal in a world where you're asked to pay for services and then watch your show fast and get everyone to pay as well and also watch it fast or you won't get any more of it.

But Thailand is giving me some of my favorite and fondest media memories, and is doing it completely for free. Bless them.

scary that there's still Will bowlcut haters around. like... that's his core character design, it looks nice too. sorry to all the different hairstyle enjoyers out there but Will without a bowlcut simply wouldn't be Will to me. that's the side effect of them doubling down on that one single hairstyle for 8 years. they can style it different or make it messier sure, but he needs Some version of a bowlcut otherwise who is that

No Place Feels Like Home - Midtown - September 21, 2022

I swear, Heath sounds like an angel here.

As heart-shattering and agonizing it was to witness Yichan's accident and subsequent loss of hearing despite Eungyeol's several desperate attempts to prevent it, I don't think this show could have taken a better route for the ending.

Eungyeol's objective of going back in time wasn't to reverse his father's disability, as that was destined to occur, but rather to ensure that Yichan could lead a fulfilling life in spite of it.

Even after losing his hearing, Yichan accomplishes all his aspirations, pursuing higher education, achieving success, and building a wonderful, affectionate family. Plus, he remains devoted to music & keeps in touch with all his friends.

And, Chungah, who was born deaf and didn't have an accident to prevent, also benefits from Eungyeol's efforts to make the world more inclusive for her.

The emphasis on sign language throughout the show is exceptionally beautiful & it has convinced me (and probably many others) to learn it.

Twinkling Watermelon moved me so much I'm genuinely never getting over it.

"I'm not asking for a heart / or the brains to be savant / or courage, though I need that too..." - Peter Chaily, 'Just A Girl'

i am losing it actually the writing in this show - it's such a brilliant way to incorporate the Wizard Of Oz reference to subtly (or i mean. unsubtly. as the case may be) make a joke* about Peter being a 'friend of dorothy' "i'm not asking for a heart" (tin man) "or the brains [...]" (scarecrow) "or courage..." (cowardly lion)

and like - yeah it's kind of obvious, but it's still a really fun, clever way of incorporating the themes that surround Peter as a character and create a more solid sense of the taboo of him admitting that he's capital-G-Gay (and i didn't pick up on it until literally this afternoon despite semi-regularly listening to the demo tracks, so make of that what you will) (and i mean. arguably it's him literally asking to not be a friend of Dorothy/Gay, to avoid asking for anything that Those characters in particular would want)

*i wanna say that obviously the euphemism/flagging itself is not the joke, like it's a real and legitimate thing, but i'm sure you get me

yeah i made my first mlp oc. his name is silly shit and he’s just some freak pinkie pie can summon out of nowhere to kill someone. yeah he’s also helplessly fruity

whether or not joel was right is quite literally a ten year old debate.

he was btw. ik it’s hard to come to that conclusion when all nuance has been stripped from the story and spoon fed back with training wheels for surface level moral character analysis.

Heading back to my roots, it’s been so long since I’ve drawn an aikatsu!!!!!

I wanna do a rewatch.

Please don’t repost my art.

both Succession and Barry premiering their finale seasons within weeks of one another…my emotional support white-people-being-insane shows…

eeeeasy for YOUUUUUUUU to SAYYYYYY harder for MEEEEEEEE to TAAAAAKKEEEEEEE

'survival shows are so bad and toxic and exploitative and misleading and biased :(' why are you still watching

We have work days usually on Friday to work on whatever upcoming assignments we have due. I have a lot of costume work (mostly detailing) left for me and theoretically I want everything done by like 3 and I get out of class at 2. Tomorrow is Friday. Which might be a work day for my only class. All of my upcoming assignments r done. I could show up (which would get me out of bed dressed and moving) and then if it’s a work day leave for my costume. This is a very good idea actually I will be doing this

no bc there's Something abt which episodes he wears that hoodie in and the fact that yellow symbolizes hope and optimism and positivity hear me out

the way taylor singlehandedly repaired my relationship with my high school best friend

Do you have any hc on ana's relationship with the other members of the snow lotus squad? I personally think that ana was close with her first squad but not with the second.

Also, if they had more time to interact, what kind of relationship would owl and mei had?

im going to be honest ive never thought abt it until now 😭 i mean it makes sense she was closer w her old one considering it was only a year ish or else when she became the leader of the new one. (i do not know anything abt how valk school or how squads work) I think she stayed in snow lotus squad since she was 12? and grew and fought with the others and she was 16 and became the adjutant and she really looked up to the leader and they never really had anything go badly and if it did the leader was there to fix it(i think ana just did whatever the leader told her too)and the squad could go through it together anyway right!!!! cut to all of them dying in manila

i wish there was more said abt her afterwards because she basically just lost like her friends and family but she has her bio fam looking out for her and like the other valks to support her. idk abt her new squad shes probably rlly protective of them because she can’t let what happened in manila happen to them again!! cut to all of them dying because of honkai (i acrually do not rmb if ppl made it out alive. idt dudu/rita/Alvitr said anything abt it) (i wish there was more of her thoughts abt becoming a herrscher and the whole situation like i think it would be interesting!!! BUT NOOOOOO STAY IN A COMA I GUESS)

i cant decide on what rs mei and owl would have because i cant decide on whats funniest. the raven mei owl dynamic is my fav in the entire game i want them to become a wack ass found family (delusional). i think b4 coral arc if mei and owl ever met and spent more time tgt their interactions would just be like how mei interacrs w kevin its just the “….” dialogue for five hours. theyre both perfectly fine not talking to each other but i think owl would be the one she would ask if she wanted answers because yk how kevin wont say shit and raven has double meanings and tries to fight her every time i think owl gives her answers no double meaning no underlying motive. he has no business with mei and he doesnt give two shits.

i think after coral arc if owl survives i cant chose between mei being a bitch to him like how she is to raven or being normal w him because raven would be annoyed i think the latter is funnier but i think more ppl should be a annoying to owl because hes so rude for no reason LMFAO. i think mei would be slightly protective of him because yk theyre parallels of each other and she is the older one and maybe she teaches him abt herrscher powers also i think owl treats her nicely because shes not annoying like raven (affectionate) and she now knows his cringe backstory.
