every year january-may is like a blur of stress and burnout and then i emerge into summer with only the capacity to lie on the couch and bingewatch. i started making this post in july and never finished it but now that i am FEASTING on thai bl i am back.

things i am into!!! )

at one point in january i decided to occupy myself on my work commute by starting a playlist of recommended thai pop songs, which ended up turning into a three hour mix. this skews mostly recent, mostly pop and pop rock and mostly chill. to go along with this, i wanted to share a little bit about each artist if you're interested in getting into more thai music!!

(and by a little bit, i frankly mean "a lot") (i am fully aware that no one is interested in this but it was not a wasted endeavor because my greatest passion in life is compiling information)

an excessive amount of information )

and finally, here are some artist suggestions if you're also a kpop fan:
  • if you like akdong musician's first album, you might like serious bacon
  • if you like bol4, you might like earth patravee
  • if you like groovyroom songs such as sunday, tell me, suran's love story, lee bada's high, you might like luss
  • if you like any combination of the black skirts, jannabi, car, the garden, or day6, you might like three man down and tilly birds
  • if you like cheeze, you might like plastic plastic
  • if your favorite iu songs are lilac and blueming, you might like violette wautier

    welcome to part two of "emily has a lot of feelings about we best love", where i will be talking about fighting mr. 2nd lovers to enemies to lovers )

    to finish this, here's a comprehensive ranking of wbl characters from most normal to least normal:
    1. jiang yuxin - jyx and fzw are both pretty normal, but jiang yuxin gets bonus points for being insightful
    2. fang zhengwen
    3. liu bingwei - seems like a pretty nice, good friend but he loses points for wanting to marry shi zheyu
    4. zhou shuyi - zsy is pretty well liked and also appears to care about other people's feelings for the most part, but he's stubborn to the point of being disruptive
    5. zhou shuyi's dad - his dad doesn't seem to be actively evil or anything, just quite selfish in trying to mold zsy into some ideal son
    6. gao shide - does not seem all that concerned about other people outside of his loved ones, mildly unhinged methodology for getting zsy to like him, fell in love with a boy who spoke to him one time
    7. pei shouyi - what's worse, falling in love with a student or spending 12 years convincing yourself you never loved that student?
    8. yu zhenxuan - bites people, voluntarily arrested himself, stalked his coworker, forcibly backhugged the guy who left him 12 years ago
    9 shi zheyu - kind of an asshole and for what reason!!

    instead of idk finishing my we best love fic, rewatching inspired me to psychoanalyze the show. this is half recap, half meta but 100% my manifesto. me [handshake emoji] sam lin: a lot of feelings about gao shide )

    i was going to title this "favorite asian bls" but i also want to talk about a few other series soooo. these are a mix of dramas from thailand, japan, taiwan, south korea, and the philippines. for context, i haven't watched a kdrama outside of the recent bls since age of youth so i realize there is a massive hole in my viewing history but my choices are largely informed by 1. wanting to watch queer romances and 2. wanting to see my existing faves in a variety of roles. someday i will watch some of the trendy kdramas and it will ruin my taste because thai dramas are made on a shoestring budget in comparison. until that time!

    a semi-comprehensive list of favorites )
