La Pluie Meta Round-up
Tumblr media
Since many of us have decided to stop being normal about this show, I wanted to get a little more organized about tracking the great meta inspired by the episodes every week. Some of y’all are putting in work to write these amazing essays digging into the text and subtext of this show, and I want to make sure I’m not missing any of it, as well as have a central place to track my own. I thought this might also be a useful resource to others, especially anyone coming to the show late (please join us, this is the perfect moment to get into La Pluie). 
So without further ado, a round up of my favorite essays and posts to come out of the fandom on this excellent show. I will plan to update this each Saturday with the previous week’s meta as we go through the final four episodes. I tried my best to find everything but y'all know how faulty tumblr’s search and tag functions are, so if you think I missed something important, let me know!
First, the most crucial essay about La Pluie that everyone must read

A reminder that coincidence is not predetermination, it is merely opportunity. What matters is CHOICE. This is not a story about inevitability, this is a story about a series of choices being made, and the very real possibilities of different choices having been made. The choice to not go out of the way to be kind to the sad boy next door. The choice to continue to ignore the voice in the rain. The choice to not go up to the cute boy at the coffee shop. The choice not to bite that man out of repressed sexual attraction (I'm never getting over Tai biting Patts, not now, not ever). So many choices big and small that could easily have gone the other way. But at every fork in the path, CHOICES WERE MADE and that's how Tai and Patts got here, THAT'S the story the show is telling: that 'soulmates' are made, not born; that choice matters above all; that TAI AND PATTS' RELATIONSHIP WAS NOT INEVITABLE. They made choices and put effort into getting here. Growing up next door to somebody's gran, or being able to hear somebody in the rain, that's all coincidence. Writing a sad boy a note that says 'you'll be ok', or giving a man a second chance after a bad first impression, that's all CHOICE. People come into your life by random chance every day. People STAYING in your life...well that's choice.

Soulmate Skepticism vs Romanticism in La Pluie
I am a soulmate skeptic. I don't believe there's one person destined for each of us on this planet.
I'm also a staunch pessimist on matters of romance and love. I constantly conduct a cost-benefit analysis in my head for every romantic relationship I see in my life. "It doesn't make sense" is almost always the first thing that pops into my head when I see people in love.
Tumblr media
Do I sound an awful lot like someone from La Pluie? Why yes, it's our resident Soulmate Skeptic and Slenderman wannabe, Lomfon! That must mean that I liked him immediately, right?
Tumblr media
Love is not a competition that you can win or lose. It's something you feel and share. There are a million things in and around love that can be made sense of, and added up like a math problem, like interests, hobbies, morals, desires, and fears, but the feeling of love itself is not logical. And I hate the part of me that can't get over that fact, and I'm working on it.
That's why I was initially so wary of Lomfon. I thought the show was gonna let him run amok and then teach him a "lesson" about love, after all the destruction is said and done. And then, episode 8 came around, and Lomfon became the character with the most potential for growth in the coming episodes, and I was so excited to see how the show would take him on this journey.
How do you teach a skeptic to believe? You give him a situation that he cannot logic his way out of, aka, two potential soulmates. This is the story I expected to play out last night, but of course, they subverted this expectation because this show is made by people who are much smarter than me.
Episode 9 is crafted to make skeptics believe in spontaneous, head-in-the-clouds love, rooted in coincidence, but the target is not Lomfon, but me. And possibly you. And all of us, the audience.
I'm going to take a broad, but confident guess that the people reading this piece are non-believers when it comes to soulmates. It sounds too good to be true and so fantastical to ever happen in real life.
Soulmate trope exists for a reason. It's comforting to think about a person who exists right now who might cross paths with us on a random day and change our lives for the better. When life is cruel and relentless and we long for better times, we wish we could reach into the future and get a hug from the person we haven't even met yet, but who will someday mean everything to us and more. When life is kind to us, on a warm sunny day, we could be hit with sudden melancholia for a lover we have not loved yet.
In La Pluie, Patts and Tai wanted to defy their destinies at different points in the show. And they did, in their own way. In episode 8, they decided to be with each other not because they could hear each other when it rained, but because they like each other and choose to be together.
Tumblr media
The show constantly puts the soulmate trope under a microscope and analyzes it, criticizes it and subverts it. But episode 9 was different. It leaned into the trope. It established a connection between Patts and Tai that was completely circumstantial and could end abruptly at any given moment. And it did, with the death of Patts' grandma.
Tumblr media
I've been wondering since last night: why take this detour? And I believe that the show knows its audience, know that our cynical brains would get extremely excited by a piece of media dissecting the idea of fated love and commenting on it. How choice matters more than anything else. And I see episode 9 as its attempt to nudge us in the opposite direction, ever so slightly. Because while the Rainverse of La Pluie can bring many complications to the love lives of the main characters, real life is much, much worse.
In the sport of modern dating, a clear mind with sound logical abilities is the key skill required for success, according to all the self-proclaimed relationship experts on social media. Our guts are not to be trusted anymore, since we are all traumatized and will automatically seek a shitty relationship because that's the one that feels familiar. Love-bombing is a manipulation technique, you must read about it and be aware of the ways to spot it. Do you know what Negging is? The red flags, green flags, and beige flags? Every action, every gift, every romantic gesture might have a sinister intention behind it.
Finding love is an exhausting process. Yes, it is important to be informed and safe, but in the process, we tend to forget the beauty of the very thing we are trying to find. The beauty of love is not singular in the choices that we make. Mature and time-hardened love is beautiful in its strength and choice, yes, but budding, fledgling love can also be beautiful in its spontaneity. And while finding your perfectly compatible person can feel pretty amazing after hours of meticulous swiping on apps, so can the knowledge of finding out YEARS later that your lives were ever so briefly intertwined in the past and you didn't even notice it at the time.
Emotional maturity and compatibility are necessary to sustain love, but spontaneity, silliness, and sometimes, happenstance are the ones that sweeten it. The show appreciates the skepticism about destiny and fate, but it also makes sure to never position itself against romance. Against the possibility of life surprising us in the moments we least expect it. Because while we strive everyday to make some sense of the chaos life throws us into, it might not hurt to let our heads float to the clouds, every once in a while, and see the beauty in chaos.

Tumblr media
aaaaa:)))
hát egy év alatt sikerült a művészurat leszerződtetni, de sikerült. végre.
nagyon-nagyon szerettem volna Vörös Krisztiánt az istállóba, és a beszélgetéseink alapján mostmár látjuk, hogy ő is nagyon szeretne velem dolgozni. Fogadjátok szeretettel Pirost és a Kepbani sorozat utolsó képeit :)
vszeg februárban fogom tudni feltölteni a webshopba, mert most belekezdek a weboldalon meg a webshopban a 2023-ban érkezett művészek iránt érzett rajongásom megfogalmazásába.
addigis tudtok jönni megnézni a képeit vagy írni dm-ben, hogy mutassak még :)
meg hát abba is belevágtam, hogy elkezdem kommunikálni, hogy lécci időpontra gyertek, az elérhető időpontokban tök szívesen nyitok ki, de sajnos úgy nem tudok dolgozni, hogy rendszeresen félbeszakítanak. kipróbáltam, nem megy. Ráadásul a csodálatos főmunkatársasszony is arra jutott, hogy több időre van szüksége az eredeti munkájához, a fotózáshoz, aminek nagyon örülök, és majd írok a munkáiról is, de így újra magamra kell szerveznem a rendszert, szóval remélem megérti majd a csodálatos közönségünk is, hogy kényelmetlen és zavaró, hogy miközben mutatok valakinek egy tárlatot és teljes lelkesedéssel magyarázok, valaki benyit, hogy mi ez a hely, és akkor patt, figyelmem szilánkokban és elég nehezen kötöm össze a két látogatót. jobban szeretek kicsit rákészülni egy mutogatásra.
szóval gyertek-gyertek :)
itt tudtok időpontot foglalni:
és ma lesz random rajzkör 5-8-ig:)

La Pluie
Lomfon's theory
I'm making this post because I believe Lomfon's theory could be correct.
In episode 5 Lomfon talked about his theory and his view of soulmates.
His theory goes like this:
"I believe that people who have hearing loss are just ill, technically. It's linked to the climate when it's raining. So, theoretically, it's most likely that the fact that two people hear eachother when it rains or, soulmates, like everyone calls it, is a phenomenon of matching wavelengths of the two people."
Tumblr media
So what if soulmates do not exist and everyone just accepted it as a simple answer over the random loss of hearing when it rains.
Another thing that could prove this theory is what happens to Lomfon in episode 8
Lomfon heard both Pat and Sengtai having a conversation during heavy rain, and I doubt the theory that 3 of them being soulmates, and I believe he also heard Sengthian as well.
Tumblr media
What if he was correct? What if he randomly connected to Patts and Sengtai's wavelength? It would also explain why Sengtais parents got a divorce. If the soulmate thing isn't real, maybe they weren't made for each other like they believed they are.

What it's like dating them
Tumblr media
Kamaboko squad edition (genya and kanao)
Tanjiro
Sweetest boy ever!
He does his best to make you happy even though he doesn't need to try so hard
I feel since you guys can't always be alone together he deeply cherish the time you spend with him
Even if its a simple hand hold or a kiss on a cheek
He will totally be there when you need his comfort
Hes like a big teddy bear
But i feel like with all the stress hes under, you will become his comfort character as well
It might take you a while to get him to open up, its not like he doesn't trust you more like he doesn’t want to be a burden
So be patient with him and he will slowly open up to you
He loves cuddles he finds them like a source of comfort
I feel like since he cant be with you all the time you guys will exchange letters
I feel hes very easily flustered especially if your the flirty type
His love language is quality time Receiving and giving
Overall very gentle and very loving relationship
Inosuke
Please be very very patient with him hes new to this whole thing
I feel like hes the type to be extremely protective of you
He'll always have to be touching you and not in like a perverted way, he just likes the feeling of your touch
Even something simple like pinkies interlocking
I feel there a sorta child like innocent to your relationship
Since he doesn't know much he gets super confused by things like kissing and hugging
The first time you guys kissed it was a kiss on the cheek and he was super confused and flustered
Just tell him it makes it stronger and he gets addicted to them
At first it was because he actually believed it made him stronger and now he just really enjoys your kisses
I feel he would give you random gifts
And these include acorns, cherry blossoms, leaves, and rocks
Basically whatever he finds on missions
I feel his love language is gift giving and acts of service for receiving
Overall sweet and child like relationships
Zenitsu
Where do i begin
He is very touched starved and has like zero confidence
You need to give him constant reassurance that you love him and that you'll never leave him
Hes very clingy and whiny
He had a hard time believing that you were actually serious on dating him
He loves you too bits and make sure to tell you and show you that everyday
No matter how long you guys are together he will always get flustered by you
I feel like when he doesn't want to go on missions you'll give him a kiss of confidence
He will bend over backwards to make you happy its almost kinda scary
He will also give you small gifts mostly flower like cherry blossom and tiger lilies
He will mostly likely brag to the other (inosuke and tanjiro) thats hes in a relationship with you
It so bad inosuke had to literally shut him up
His love language is quality time giving and words of affirmation receiving
Overall super sweet and lovely dovey relationship
Nezuko
Shes super sweet
She will show her love through small things like head patts or nose boops
She loves cuddling
She loves when you give her piggyback rides
She also loves it when you can hum her a lullaby before she sleeps
When shes tired she will lay her head on your lap
She loves it when you run your fingers through her hair
She really enjoys when you style her hair or just flat out play with it
When shes in her small form she likes to curl up in your lay
Flat out just super sweet and cuddlely
If your ever sad she can tell and will do everything she can to make you feel better
Love language quality time both ways
Overall cute and wholesome relationship
Genya
Will act all tough and scary but when you get really close to him hes like a cuddly bear
Is afraid youll think less of him if he doesn't keep up the rough and tough behavior
You will definitely need to gently break down his walls
Hes a absolute sweetheart
He will get super flustered over the simplest of touches
i feel is also little bit touch starved and will crave your touch
But hes a flustered mess when you guys kiss or even cuddle
Is not a big fan of pda and prefers to do it when you guys are alone
If anything his limits it hand holding yet hes still a flustered mess
Is very protective of you
Totally gives scary dog privileges
Is very protective of you
Will fight anyone hands down for you if they so much as look at you the wrong way
His love language is acts of service for giving and quality time receiving
Overall very Fluffy ans cute relationship
Kanao
She may be quite but she deeply loves you
She has never felt this kind of love so she really does try her best
She loves spending time with you
She doesn't mind how you guys spend your time together
You might spend time with her when you guys are helping aoi at the butterfly mansion
She is really shy so be patient
I feel she has a hard time showing affection
She really likes to hold your hand
She find it comforting
If she feels upset she will instantly try to grab your hand
She not really clingy but she loves to be near you
I feel she worries about you a lot for you
She might have you do monthly check-ups
She just doesn't want to lose you
She is a great listener
She will remember almost everything you say even the small things
She deeply enjoys when you talk
She could listen to you talk for hours
She thinks your voice is relaxing
I feel like she doesn't say that she wants affection more like kinda hints at it
She might stay a little closer to you or try to touch your hand more often
Her love language is quality time both ways
Overall so sweet and just so cute relationship

22 swatches: 7 butterflies 7 faded teddy bears 7 bright teddy bears 2 bunnies--to be added to since I have better inspiration now

The Missing Swatch
When I made the random patterns file, I inlcuded this swatch
Tumblr media
CurseForge's interpretation of Maxis's TOU says that I can't use it at all, even in with the rest of the swatches
Tumblr media
If you get the file from CurseForge, that swatch has been removed. If you want that swatch, it's available here: http://www.simfileshare.net/download/4123031/
Only use one version. They are the same file except for the one swatch, and by using both you're just increasing the number of files in your game. Only one will load. I don't know which will win
Alternate download for the whole set (including the missing swatch): http://www.simfileshare.net/download/4123033/

My thoughts about La Pluie Episode 4
First thing first I love the fact that Patts knows that Saengtai is his soulmate too.
Kudos to Tien who helt hands with Lomfon, felt something™ and then went to hold his friends' hands to see if it felt the same.
The ex coming back at random, not knowing that Patts was at the clinic but still choosing to tell him that she wants to get back together. Honey, if you didn't run into him, then you would have kept it to yourself?
Love the fact that drunk Saengtai was like "I don't need sleep, I need answers" and then proceeded to reveal to Patts that they're soul mates and that he's jealous of him
So who was Patts actually kissing that night? Or what exactly happened to cause that noise?
Love the fact that Saengtai got the chance to kiss Patts, and doesn't even remember. Patts could tell him honestly, but also, they could make new memories together
Another thing is, if Saengtai fell asleep on the couch, did Patts wake him up so that Tai could get changed and then he decided to get into the bed, or did Patts do that?

So the other night I got a little sassy on main because some of the girlies were complaining that King the Land is focusing more on the couple moments (aka relationship development) between Gu Won and Sa Rang and doesn’t have enough plot. Which is a very typical fandom complaint about romcoms that I absolutely hate, because in a good romance the relationship is the plot, people! It’s bizarre attitudes like this that get us random murder plots spliced into every other romcom for the ratings, and I am begging y’all to stop the madness. 
Ahem. Anyway, that post seemed to resonate with some folks and get them discussing other dramas, and so inevitably @troubled-mind wandered into my notes and said gee Shan, it seems like maybe you should make a list of dramas that show us couples in a relationship and explore how they make it work and ultimately stay together. And I’ve warned y’all before, if you make a stray comment in my direction there will be a list coming your way. So here I am again, doing the absolute most.
Today I present to you a list of my favorite dramas that show you not only how the couple gets together, but also how they stay together. Criteria:
The couple doesn’t have to be together when the drama starts, but they do have to actually begin their romantic relationship no later than halfway through the drama’s run so that we have substantial time with them as a couple
The relationship development between the couple is a primary plot driver (so no dramas where there’s a great long term couple just hanging out in the background)
The relationship story may include some physical separation or even a temporary breakup, but not the betrayal kind–these are the sort that actually force an unaddressed issue to the surface and ultimately bring the couple even closer 
Happy endings only, these pairs are sticking together 
Ride or Die Drama Couples
Bad Buddy - Pat and Pran
(Thailand, YouTube)
Tumblr media
This is tumblr so do I really need to tell y’all about Pat and Pran? There is a reason we all lost our minds over this show and it’s because we got to be in this relationship with them so intensely and see them fight to stay together despite it all. Their ending is bittersweet because of their families, but the show leaves us no doubt that they both think the other is worth it and they will always stick it out together. 
Dark Blue Kiss - Pete and Kao
(Thailand, YouTube)
Tumblr media
Shout out to the OGs! Pete and Kao originally got together in the Kiss series (you can watch it, but you really don’t have to, fam) and Dark Blue Kiss brings them back three years into their long-term relationship to give us a peek into their struggles with the closet and the toll it takes on both of them individually as well as the strain it puts on their relationship. 
Flower of Evil - Hee Sung and Ji Won
(S Korea, Netflix or Viki)
Tumblr media
Hee Sung and Ji Won are already married (with an adorable daughter) when this drama begins, and the backstory of their relationship is unspooled alongside the larger mystery at the heart of the show. One of the most fascinating and heart wrenching love stories I have ever seen, centered on a character who is so emotionally damaged that he genuinely believes he is incapable of love even as love pours out of him. Damn, I’m gonna make myself cry into my oatmeal.
It’s Okay, That’s Love - Jae Yeol and Hae Soo
(S Korea, Viki)
Tumblr media
Speaking of crying, lord. Ahhhhhhh. Let me pull myself together. It’s Okay, That’s Love is a healing drama about two people who fall in love and support each other through serious mental health challenges. I don’t really want to say much more than that. Bring tissues, besties!
La Pluie - Patts and Saengtai
(Thailand, iQIYI)
Tumblr media
My beloved! This Thai drama is about a pair of soulmates–or are they–who find each other and try to make their relationship work. That’s it, that’s the show. In this drama, the relationship truly is the plot, despite some of the fantasy elements being used to highlight its themes. La Pluie is about the importance of choice and a rebuke of romantic fantasies that fate and destiny will handle your love life for you. I and many others have written about it extensively, so if you decide to watch, you can go nuts on meta. 
Lighter & Princess - Li Xun and Zhu Yun
(China, Viki)
Tumblr media
I really love this show. This is a long format drama so there will be longer stretches where the couple still has not officially gotten together, but the relationship between them is the heart of the entire show, and we get the distinct pleasure of watching them fall in love twice, and the second time figure out how to make it stick. Such a treat.
One Spring Night - Ji Ho and Jung In
(S Korea, Netflix)
Tumblr media
Oh how I love this quiet little drama about two people who fall for each other while one is still in a relationship with someone else, and figure out how to untangle the mess they’re in. We get to see them not only fall in love, but figure out how to become a unit who can withstand the harsh judgment coming their way and become a family on their own terms. Bonus adorable child alert!
Tomorrow With You - So Joon and Ma Rin
(S Korea, Viki)
Tumblr media
This time travel melodrama is one of those that I started with no expectations and then sat up part way through and said what gave you the right to be this good! This is another one where the relationship begins for dubious reasons, but the suspect motives are quickly taken over by genuine feeling. We really get to live with the relationship in this one and the message is all about treasuring the life and time we have together. 
The Rebel Princess - Awu (Wang Xuan) and Xiao Qi
(China, Viki)
Tumblr media
I think the phrase Ride or Die was actually invented for them. Talk about a power couple. Once these two get to know each other (this is a historical so as per usual, their marriage wasn’t actually their choice but rather the result of some asshole’s machinations in a quest for power, joke’s on them though) they are in, baby, and their devotion and loyalty never wavers. This is a historical epic in war time, so the couple will be physically separated multiple times, but it only makes them stronger and each of their reunions sweeter. Their relationship is the heart of the show and the throughline in their chaotic lives.
What Did You Eat Yesterday? - Shiro and Kenji
(Japan, the ether)
Tumblr media
Saving the best for last because this right here is the GOAT in this category. It sits at the top of my all-time favorite dramas list and I love it passionately. Because y’all? This drama is explicitly about a middle-aged couple learning how to be together in a long-term relationship. That is the entire plot. And it’s fantastic. Stop reading this and go watch it!
Honorable Mentions
Yumi’s Cells - Yu Mi and Goo Wong 
(S Korea, Viki)
This one is not on the list proper because (gasp) the couple doesn’t end up together. I know, I’m still sad about it, too, even though I went into this drama fully aware of the concept (a season about each of Yu Mi’s major relationships). But man. Yu Mi and Goo Wong just have that something, you know? Even knowing they don’t stick it out, it’s a delight to watch them fall in love and settle into a relationship together. Technically there is a second season featuring Yu Mi’s next relationship (Babi? I don’t know her), but I don’t want to recommend it and you can’t make me.
I must also give a shout out to the bl season 2s that exist expressly for the purpose of showing how the characters settle into a relationship after the first season get together:
Gameboys 2 (Philippines, Gaga) - Cairo and Gavreel
Minato’s Laundromat 2 (Japan, Gaga)- Shin and Minato 
SOTUS S and Our Skyy (Thailand, YouTube) - Kongpob and Arthit
Still 2gether (Thailand, YouTube) - Tine and Sarawat
Utsukushii Kare 2 (Japan, Gaga) - Hira and Kiyoi
And because this is my post and I make the rules, I am also doing some honorable mentions of the friends to lovers slow burns where technically they are not together until the final arc of the story but let’s be serious they are together the whole time and just don’t realize it yet so you know exactly what their relationship is going to look like:
Fight for My Way (S Korea, Viki) - Dong Man and Ae Ra
Happiness (S Korea, Viki) - Sae Bom and Yi Hyun
Hospital Playlist 1 and 2 (S Korea, Viki) - Song Hwa and Ik Jun
My Only 12% (Thailand, iQIYI) - Seeiw and Cake
My Ride (Thailand, Gaga or YouTube) - Mork and Tawan 
Romance is a Bonus Book (S Korea, Netflix) - Dan Yi and Eun Ho
Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo (S Korea, Viki) - Joon Hyeong and Bok Joo
Whoops you woke the beast @troubled-mind. @rocketturtle4 @neuroticbookworm @chickenstrangers here are more for your mile long rec lists. :)))
