a/n: I know NOTHING about the movie or it’s plot, other than I want to marry Margot and her portrayal of Barbie is bringing so much nostalgia

Warnings: nothing, because in ... Barbie world there’s no hatred, no homophobia, no gender norms etc. It’s perfect...

・First and foremost Barbie is a very independent woman

・She doesn’t need a partner, which makes your relationship all the more special

・She’s chosen you because she genuinely loves you, rather than doing it because ... she has to

・And it was a big shock to many when they found out that Barbie had chosen a woman to be her partner

・But she wouldn’t hear anything against it: she loved you and that was the end of it

・Your relationship seems pretty perfect. Because it is.

・Life with her is perfect

・All the annoyances of normal daily life don’t occur during life with her

・Even if you don’t live in Barblie World, she still has this magical energy that brightens everywhere she goes

・She isn’t someone who has many flaws; physically, mentally or emotionally

・Maybe she does act before thinking though, and that can cause a bit of trouble

・And she’s very specific with both her outfits and yours

・Her wardrobe is endless

・A lot of pastels, as well as endless pinks

・She always makes sure your hair and nails are done (you usually have something matching with your nails...and outfits...)

・Always gives you compliments throughout the day; “god you look radiant honey!” “you’re glowing!” “I can’t believe we’re in love!”

・Being around the other Barbie’s and always having light-hearted conversations (dark thoughts don’t bother you here)

・There are mermaids in the ocean, fairies in the trees, princesses in castles and magic around every corner

・Her nicknames for you are “honey,” “sweetheart,” “my love,” and “bunny.”

・Barbie’s love language is ... all of them. She loves ‘buying’ you gifts (there is no money currency), she loves spending time with you; exploring, dancing, adventuring.

・She always wants to hold your hand or have your arm linked in hers. Her words of affirmation are almost constant. With acts of service, she likes to clean and redecorate for you (even if you don’t need her to).

personally, i think they should've included a scene in s4 where argyle is at the wheel and does a crazy turn that makes will fall into mike's lap or something and they're both like "😰😳🫣😵‍💫🏳️‍🌈⁉️‼️ sORRysorrysorry that was an accident i didn't mean to do tht oh sorry i um . =>.<= ahem. wow.... look at all tht cool dirt outside haha >_> ... .. . ." will is messing with the sleeves of his shirt and staring resolutely out the window like his face isn't on fire rn and mike is staring down at his arm where will fell on him and putting his hand over it with that breathless look on his face and jonathan is up front trying his best to pretend like he didn't just witness a category 5 lgbt event amen 🙏

#they already have the convoluted love triangle plot n you're the heart n knight in shining armor x damsel in distress thing going on #so why not add yet another corny n classic n wonderful romantic trope hehe <3 #byler #mine

so hey guys i finished dungeon meshi yesterday and i'm still thinking about it

#ria.txt #i spoiled myself so at first i was like 'this is bonkers wtf are they doing in those last few chapters?????'#but then it was like. yeah. i see #love those ch when it's just clearly putting the squad into Situations #also. izutsumi #what i really liked was how tightly the protagonist and the deuteragonist were wound up in the overall themes #the plot the themes the conflict the characters it was very neatly connected #hence i am also now accidentally invested in whatever going on between laios and marcille #not just platonic not romantic not enemies i just think they work well tgt and deeply care for each other its great watching them develop #it's the leader + most trusted advisor / anxious girlfailure + the annoying freak she's somehow attached to vibes #haha that rabbit chapter with marcille. hahha i was like what the fuck man. it was funny and then boom whump [tears streaming down my face]#those shapeshifter chs were sooo much fun esp seeing other chara's perceptions of each other. stealing that #the changeling ones were great too elf senshi is the fucking funniest he looks sooooooo unserious #marcille's evolving perception with death starting with saving falin and saving the squad and her nightmares of outliving everyone-#-and her dad and her 'temper tantrum' and UGH when at the end she said she was fine with falin not coming back.... WAAA. OUGH.#i think dunmeshi handled the trope of 'prophecy of chosen one becoming king' pretty well and it makes sense why laios is the protag #the worldbuilding is so thoughtful as well i liked seeing different characters with different worldviews interact #very solid and well rounded series wooo #the main 4 has such a fun dynamic together #anyways. dunmeshi au.....#more like borrowing the worldbuilding bc charas are too nuanced for a one to one comparison #ren is like some prince of his own species but he's like 34th in line and no one cares about him so he fucks off to eat monsters #which is why he's both snobbish AND a total freak when it comes to his food taste #false is originally in for the money from ren and plans to scam him but unfortunately the cringefail swag captures her #martyn is Obnoxiously Clueless and thinks he's smart but he's not. he's resourceful but also pathetic and crazy #stress cant cook but she thinks she does so everyone goes (≖_≖ ) when she picks up a pot. they delegate her to killing and chopping duty #the mvp is iskall who keeps on saving everyone's asses and somehow has resources for everyone #i think ren is actually aware false is going to scam him but he has too much money to spend anyway and he thinks shes cool so he lets her??#and somehow she doesnt take the money and run. and goes back to eating monsters w/ the party. everyone is crazy

"Just because they *insert something intimate that these characters do together* doesn't mean they are in a relationship", "Why do you see gay people everywhere", "Why does it always have to be about gay sex" is not the progressive take you think it is, and it's also exactly what conservatives say when they deny that queer subtext exists in media.

#I want more aroace representation in media #I enjoy seeing the characters I like interpreted/headcanoned as aroace & sometimes the aroace interpretation is the one I like best #but complaining about people shipping characters sexually and/or romantically doesn't help anyone #it in fact benefits the people who want to police fandom spaces #homophobes will insert romantic tropes in their 'friendship only' plot and then complain when people notice that these are romantic tropes #yall sound just like them #ramblings

entering the story and deciding it's your mission to save your favourite depressed, lowkey suicidal, losing-hope blorbo

#some people enter the story as a villain and want to NOT DIE #and others are isekai'd as background filler that just want the character they love to live and be happy #there are plenty of examples of this trope but i thought it would be funny to throw derelict favourite on there T-T #like bro there are legendary tier stories and comparing them to the regular ones in the genre is so so funny to me #compares solo leveling to like. spare me great lord #the difference a male vs female lead can make in comic content is sooooooo funny #like yeah the plots are like 80% the same tropes over and over #but that just makes it very funny #it's not a surprise that the romance genre in manwha tends to have fem leads but it is very funny #if you look for a male lead the universe stares into your soul and asks if you are looking for yaoi #XD #omniscient reader's viewpoint is enough romance for me #male leads that have no romantic interest and actively try to stay away from romance subplots in their isekai'd world are superior anyway #💥🦅🔥

Shadowpeach's reaction to believing the other is dating again

ANON I AM SO SORRY T^T i meant to reply to this the moment I read it then got distracted and now it’s almost 1am (edit: it is now 1:30 lmao)

anyway,

you have come to ask me, a girlie who is a sucker for unhealthy shadowpeach and long time lover of the jealousy & possessive tropes, about shadowpeach’s hypothetical reactions of the two monkeys believing the other is back in the dating scene?

well, obviously, they would be completely fine. absolutely no negative reactions or breakdowns or obsessive thoughts hindering their ability to function and be mentally healthy. of course.

jk i lied: THEY WOULD BE SO HORRIBLE LMAO

however, i feel like swk would be more subtle about it. like maybe he hears something out of context said by MK or Mei or Tang or Red Son or Sandy (who might have also jumped to the same conclusion) and is like “oh……” and then is oddly quiet for maybe a month, freaking out MK

also, SWK would have his own internal battle of wanting to see Macky to confirm but also not wanting to see Macackle because the confirmation would break him. but he would make so many excuses to see Macaroon by visiting Pigsy’s noodle shop then chicken out when the time does come (the funny part of me says that Pigsy is the only one aware of SWK’s true intentions and is very annoyed about it)

the anger doesn’t really come until SWK feels fed up with Macaroni’s “mixed signals,” meaning Macky’s very bad attempts at being civil/flirting. because “if Macky thinks he can just use my feelings while being in a relationship he can think again!” (despite Macky never being in a relationship but Wukong never confirmed this so is mad for the sake of this hypothetical SO and himself while struggling with his own very messy feelings. because he likes it when Mac has his attention on him, he likes it when Mac tries to woo him the same way he had tried when they were younger and ignorant, he likes it when Mac cannot help but look at Wukong, he likes it when he makes Mac forget all about that stupid significant other because Wukong and Mac used to be something and could still be that something if Mac just gave Wukong a chance or if they had never ended their old relationship like the way they did. if only, if only, if only, if only, if only—

with Macky, ahahahaaaaaaa hoo boy.

not subtle. very unsubtle. like, yes, even Wukong can see and notice Macky’s very unsubtle and unstable self but unlike everybody else who is aware of the reason, Wukong would just be confused on why Macky is always weirdly snappy and grabby and always feel the need to mention Wukong’s love life????

anyway, Macky would not react well. 1) because it feeds into his angry theory that Wukong found their relationship to be superficial and temporary 2) he has been revived for, uh, *checks watch* not very long, so imagine going through a severe break up and dying them being resurrected and trying to enact revenge on your ex (of whom the feelings are still too raw) but you’ve been out of time for so long that you cannot process shit 3) it is my belief that Macky had nobody else as close to him as Wukong was

so, Macky hearing through the very botched grapevine that Wukong is back in the dating scene? man’s is not handling it well. house/apartment/whatever establishment he was staying in is trashed. he replans his revenge against Wukong. he stalks Wukong obsessively bc he has to see that bastard in the act because maybe then he’ll be free. he would sabotage any and all attempts of demons, humans, whoever that whispers about pursuing Wukong because….reasons

(obviously the reasons are not the fact that Wukong moving on terrifies him, the fact that he can be so easily replaced hurts, the fact that he cannot let go despite everything, the fact that Wukong still smiles the same, that Wukong still laughs the same but it’s so much lighter, that he understood what it was like to be loved and cared about by Wukong. to have all of his attention on Macky, to hold him so gently even though these same hands could break him (and have), to be treasured and desired by someone so powerful. how could Mackarell give up something so precious? he is still selfish and has been deprived for f that love for too long. why on earth would he ever wish for someone else to have a piece of what he once had?)

so yeah i’d say they would be coping sO well :)

#this is a side tangent but shadowpeach deserves some more fics with both or either of the two idiots being jealous #please #for me #ley them simmer or wallow in their personally inflicted angst/pining soup while i giggle and read with delight #and when i say i’m a lover of this trope i also mean i’m a connoisseur of this trope #i have tastes and am picky about it #bc there are some…….not great works that try this trope (to put it politely) and it hurts bc i KNOW it could be written sO good #also funny note: this reply was supposed to end after I shout ‘they would be so horrible lmao’#but then I thought nah lemme share my elaborated thoughts #another side note: I am sure y’all notice I call Wukong and macky’s thing a relationship instead of friendship or situationship mostly bc #a relationship can mean many things and my view of shadowpeach is both romantic and qpr #like the vibes fit for both of them and I’ll just roll with either #but i struggle to call their thing a friendship because to me that takes away some of the aspects of swk and macky #do i think they even dated in the past? no but i DO think the two were so attached to the hip that to outsiders they saw 2 boyfriends even #if nothing was technically official of their relationship being romantic or platonic but it blurred the lines so well nobody could be 100%#& even in the current plot their relationship is STILL blurred to me so i can’t pick and like both options (both are severely unhealthy ofc #lmk #shadowpeach #asks #anonymous

I don't normally do this, but I thought some of you might appreciate it ^^

New anime that features gt just finished the english dub of it's 1st season!

it's called Sugar Apple Fairy Tale

the main romantic pair are human sized, but there's several tiny fairy side characters that get a lot of screentime and quite a few good handheld moments too

(warning for slavery, violence, and a few scenes with blood)

#enslaved tinies #fanta.txt #I know the whole thing is a sore subject #but i thought they were done in an interesting way here #apparently s2 starts in july this year #but idk how long it'll take to finish dubbing #also like i dont normally like romance anime but there's been some lately that the worldbuilding and plot are just so interesting #I'll suffer through some generic romantic tropes for a good storyline

cks was making a cameo in my dream and then my alarm woke me up, so. well. okay.

#[art]#[2023]#cks #specifically it was just two still images of them but it was at the very end #had my silly outfit and all its piercings... plus ones I never gave them before? odd.#so I wanted to entertain the ''actors au'' idea but in all honesty they wouldn't make it much beyond a bonus background actor or dancer #(for musicals); they'd forget their lines so often it'd just be a hassle #usually casted as goons/minions/characters that follow someone of authority/in power #height helps; unintentional intimidation factor at times...#pretty unknown! like the rest. except cpn who's well-known for his looks (and acting to back it up)#something something... gestures. a scientist and their creation made of parts and through illegal means #of which someone (swt) is chasing said suspects down except it's hard to exactly realize [cks] is the creation in question at first #so it has that internal conflict as the film goes on of like. ough. aren't they [human] at this point? and ough. illegally made. but ough.#didn't ask to be made. trope of -> creation will not mind if it has to be dismantled and its creator would go through hell to Not let that #happen out of love and. anyways I'm not going to explain the synopsis of the actual plot they play (was kept kind of unknown due to failed #marketing) but i do think they should get to know each other behind the scenes #and something etcetera any homoerotic or romantic scenes they play together Stop being just acting but Oh g-d they cannot confess that.#they're just work colleagues...!! and then there's an ''i love you'' scene and it's all #this is getting too long. bye

THAT’S SO COOL????? I’m not into video games but GOD they reincarnate and are in love every time??? princess and knight??? also I’ve been wanting to say this for ages but link is sooooo gender. you get it

so. they are in love in the sense that nintendo is queerbaiting me. queerbaiting me with a "straight" couple (they are lesbians). they are not canon they kissed only in the second ever zelda game when there was only the barest story and they were nothing more than pixel sprites and they have not been canon since. and because every game is technically a different link and a different zelda, each individual game varies on how shippable they actually are? like, I'm not very far through twilight princess yet but I've heard they're pretty much just coworkers in that one. the three latest mainline games though, they're like. they're pretty much canon in all but name like you could say it's platonic but like at that point you are running on loads of denial. the three latest mainline games are skyward sword, which is the first link and zelda, the start of the cycle. the plot ENTIRELY revolves around how much link loves zelda. cause they're best friends, hyrule as a kingdom doesn't even exist yet (they live on an island in the sky) she falls to earth and is running around having to discover that she's a reincarnated goddess (that's a whole angst factor btw bc the goddess (hylia) had to fight demise and she won but knew it was temporary and knew demise would have to be defeated again, and that he would need to be defeated with the power of the triforce, which can only be wielded by humans, so she decided basically that she'd need a loyal human knight, and so she reincarnated into a human girl because a girl is loved in the way a goddess isn't and she knew someone would love a human girl enough to save her WHICH HAPPENS so basically zelda gets to have an identity crisis was she just dragging link towards this destiny the whole time? did she truly love him? did he truly love her? are they puppets in this grand plan? "I'm still your zelda" she says to him, but is she??? drives me nuts) and he, ever loyal, keeps running after her to save her again and again and again (link is so dog coded there's a great botw fic about this), and then they defeat demise and he curses them and link is just some guy who went through ALL THIS SHIT cause he LOVED zelda. what if you were in love with your best friend and it cursed you and your descendants for the rest of time this is so francesca by hozier I'd tell them put me back in it I'd go through it again if i could hold you for a minute. and then the next two mainline games are breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom and breath of the wild involves an amnesia plot so you basically watch link fall in love with zelda a second time and then in tears of the kingdom they are. common law married. they share a house. there's only one bed. do NOT get me FUCKING STARTED on the hateno house. and nintendo still plays FUCKING COY zelda's english va has to be like "they... have a really close bond...." this is how I know they're queer you wouldn't do this with straight people. and then people also ship ocarina of time (most popular and well known game of the series most praised for its story) zelink a lot but that's an older game I haven't played yet so I can't speak on them. zelda is so transmasc in that one though this I know. I talk about link being genderqueer a fair amount and everyone on this internet knows link is trans but trust. zelink is t4t

#also I love that you said “princess and knight” like it's another awesome factor about them cause yes so true #but so many people are like “UGH the princess and knight trope🙄” LIKE YOU DON'T GET IT!!! IT'S ABOUT DEVOTION!!!#tbf the zelda plot is always that you have to save zelda and nintendo won't break out of this winning formula #so I suppose for a lot of people it just feels sexist and tired and whatnot #but I've played only the latest games so I'm able to look past it cause zelda manages to still be a really good character from the sideline #also. they're literally in love. um. why do you hate true love and soulmates #anyway TECHNICALLY they're not in love every time. cause. as I said. twilight princess #(also there's some zelda games that don't follow the standard plot (such as link's awakening which I've played its SO GOOD btw)#so there isn't. a zelda and ganon. so obviously no zelink there)#but whether or not they're actually romantically involved I do think it's critical that they are SO SO SO SO IMPORTANT to each other #in which case if they are genuinely just coworkers in twilight princess I do think that's a failing of twilight princess #ask #witch-of-aiaia #hi aiaia!#also. fun detail here. link is a silent protag and they tend to make him a bit of a blank slate in the games #so when I say zelink is in love I am simultaneously working with the bare ass minimum in regards to link #and yet also so so so much cause of the everything he does for her #zelda being a reincarnated goddess/from the line of a reincarnated goddess is so crazy insane to me btw #she's links patron goddess he's her ever loyal servant they're UGHHHHHH #I could talk forever about them. evidently. they're so important to me. only couple I've written fic for

・If either of you needs to leave the Shire, then the other always comes too

・Sam is infatuated with you and has been for a while. He’ll never get enough of you.

・It was Frodo who got you guys together because neither of you would make a move

・Sam said he can’t move in with you until you’re married. But you don’t live too far from each other

・He brings you flowers every morning and has dinner with you every night

・Merry and Pippin absolutely tease the sh*t out of Sam. They like seeing him annoyed

・You made a bracelet for Sam, and he ALWAYS wears in. Only ever taking it off when he bathes because he doesn’t want it to fade/fray

・Sam can get very jealous, very easily though. When someone gives you too much romantic attention (he knows when someone is being kind compared to someone who’s flirting with you).

・He confessed his feelings to you the day after a fierce battle. He didn’t know if he would make it and all he could think about was you.

・He’s a Ride or Die kinda person. He’ll defend you until his last breath. You never have to worry if he has hidden secrets or motives. Sam is completely honest about himself

・When you come to him upset, Sam will hold you close and grasp the back of your head, holding it again him.

“Shhh, hey hey. What’s the matter?”

・He’s more of a comfort first, fix second type of person

・Sam looooooooooves dancing with you. He spins you round and round, both of you laughing, no worries in your mind

・Sam can be a bit naive when it comes to those in authority. He doesn’t realise that not everyone in charge knows everything.

・Not many people have seen the inside of Sam’s bedroom. It’s on the south side, so it doesn’t have a window. For light, he has many candles that he takes the time to light at night (it’s a part of his routine). He loves bathing, and does so as much as he can (2-3 times a day)

・Isn’t the best at reading, that’s why he throws himself into physical work

I've read a lot of stories with humanoid gods and eldritch demons but none of the opposite.

I want to read about benevolent and kind gods whose appearance is so terrifying and indescribable that it drives people into fearful insanity, gods who don't even seem to conform to human standards of divinity; gods who strike fear into friend, foe and worshipper alike.

I want to read about demons who don't look like demons but are more human instead, demons who may not have an eldritch form but can still strike fear into the hearts of people, demons who literally embody the quote, "The Devil comes as everything you've ever wished for."

#gods #goddesses #demons #gods and monsters #tropes #reverse writing tropes #writing #writing inspiration #writblr #bonus points if the goddesses are much more terrifying than the gods #more bonus points if the demons aren't used as a romantic plot device and are just as terrifying as eldritch demons #the insomniac archives

I see more posts that are shipping neuvillette and furina more than anything else. I personally don't like them as a ship. what about a more simple found family/sibling relationship??? romance doesn't fit at all imo. they haven't found themsleves quite yet so it seems off. but they may still support each other in a familial way. but at the same time, neither realize they were, or could have been, each others found family and closest companion had circumstances been different, since they both had reasons to not get closer.

one was living in an opera as a character on stage. the other taking his position seriously while keeping himself separate from humans so they don't sway his judgment. only after they part ways do they realize they were closest to what people call "family" and notice the empty spot in their lives without the other around. maybe they meet to try to patch it up again at some point. they see other siblings and notice their relationship is similar to them, arguing with each other in the streets, while the two sip on twa and water. neuvillette was always looking out for furina the way the older brother is looking out for his little sister even if he doesn't want show he cares. his methods are crude and don't always take her emotions into account. the little sister secretly enjoys having her big bro protect and dote on her and look after her even if she insists she's independent and doesn't need his help.

neuvillette is still trying to understand humans and their emotions. he's becoming better at it. after learning furina is actually a human, he wants even more to learn. he tries to use the skills he's built to comfort her and try to understand her better, but realizes he's still lacking. furina, however, never learned how to be human exactly, she forgot who she was within her endless mascerade, and she at first struggles to understand and express her own emotions properly to other people, since they were locked away for so long. so she needs to live and learn among the humans after spending some time to herself. so neuvillette still misses his mark and let's her go on her own way for a while. instead of trying to make up for how things were and he her companion again, he simply takes on the role of an older brother who protects from a distance while letting his independent sister go her own way. he tries to help her make more friends and always helps her on projects she works on like in her character quest. he works behind the scenes with her or for her to make sure her family grows and she's doing well, make sure she has something to live on for and be passionate about because seeing that makes him very happy. he makes sure she is able to build herself and make the "her" she long forgot able to return and be known by all, even if she's different than before and needs to build from scratch. tearing off a mask and rebuilding what long decayed behind is a lot of work, and he knows to give her time.

perhaps when she's settled and can forgive herself and her past, she can reach back out and find a friendship in neuvillette. perhaps she wants to help neuvillette find a place closer to the ground and among humans as well, after he expressed the desire to get closer with them and understand them even better now. he still sits too high, and is now completely alone up there. but sometimes your estranged adopted little sister can make sure you touch the ground for a bit. she knows how lonely it is up there. she learned how to let others shoulder her burdens. she learned how to open up. she learned how to share and laugh and cry with others. she learned what it means to truly be human.

she can now teach him all she learned, and since he had known her longest, perhaps he can trust her more than anyone else and let her guide him out of the shadows where he had been quielty guiding her from all this time. he can join her journey once in a while. he can finally let human emotions guide his judgements so they are better suited to serve his people. she can share her story with him so he understands her even more. he may see himself reflected in her, and she sees it too: sitting alone at the top, not opening up, not sharing the burden with anyone, not allowing oneself to form oneself outside of one's duty, moreso now.

not being human, he doesn't necessarily need the same things and supports as her. his mind is stronger and can carry the burdens just fine on his own and the entire nation is now in his hands, so it's necessary to stand strong. but after being touched by the human world, his eyes show deep lonliness that even he doesn't recognize, because he's more focused on the people's feelings, he forgets he's actually truly capable of feelings himself. his curiosity and fondness for the humans becomes even more obvious. his care and fondness for furina grows after learning shes actually a human, though he knows he must keep a distance and allow her time and space. that's why she reaches out to him, to make sure she returns what he's done for her by helping him develop his "self" in a way where can safely and successfully reach out to the humans he now realizes he cherishes more than only his strict duties. he may start to finally see and understand what it is he's been missing all along, finally understand emotions, finally understand his people, and finally understand what it means to be human.

#idk what im rambling about lmao #that went off topic from what i started to say #i just dont like seeing them as a romantic ship. it feels weird to me personally #but found family that doesnt realize they are found family? that soundd fun #genshins #words #i enjoy good character development in characters/stories. its so fun and interesting #i think that's all this ramble turned into. just a found family (where the entire city is their found family maybe) fic skeleton #with big character development #if i has the time amd patience to write maybe id write about it for real but i do not #two of my favorite story tropes or plots or whatever you call them is found family and character development in the form of #non human entity learns what its like to be human. or human forced to live a life against their true self learning to become their self #like avatar and zuko's character development. or eureka seven and all the character development there #writing ideas #i probably wont write it but if anyone else wants to then go for it

Oh wow, Johanna Netflix Sandman Constantine is the brooding noir antiheroine we’ve all been asking for since forever. Nice.

#sandman blogging #I was watching it like are they going to keep the stupid doomed girlfriend of the week plot intact? they are? huh!#objectively ‘woman who just lost her female lover immediately having romantic vibes with a man’ is one of my most hated tropes of all time #but I tolerated it this time because it was about the same level of romantic vibes as the original Constantine/Dream dynamic tbh #and ric the vic! loved her!

Noooo!!! My little ghost couple, I don't want them to forget each other 😭

#Like super happy they can wake up and be healthy but also I rarely ever ship straight couples so I get really excited whenever it happens #(because most str8 couples rely on the trope ''he was a boy she was a girl can I make it anymore obvious'' instead of a real romantic plot)#lily watches recordings of acting #kdrama #ghost doctor #text post
