isunshowerwaow 2 posts in one day!!1! (last night's doesn't really count. website coding be damned, i slept in between!) sup folks i am back with a post that is about a lot of different things so that there's something for everyone :)
so, firstly: i tore through daisy jones and the six in about 24 hours. i had really enjoyed 7 husbands of evelyn hugo and had seen the marketing for the amazon series, so i was curious about this one and it DIDN'T DISAPPOINT. i think tjr does the oral history style very well and it gave me some Thoughts about how to planning-stage an original story idea i have that's also about a band. i liked how the stories would contradict each other and the plot twist that julia dunne was the one doing the interviews all along was really nicely executed. (it does feel a little bit samey with the evelyn hugo story--the narrator is secretly not neutral and actually linked to a key part of the story!!!--but whatever.) i'm going to have to read this woman's other books, i've decided that i really like them.
secondly: i shopped around for more bl to watch before just landing on last twilight. which, in some ways, going from moonlight chicken (where i was mostly invested in liming/heart) to last twilight is a very natural progression because of the shared themes of class struggle, isolation, and disability. but while i'm going to keep watching last twilight, i'm kind of enjoying it less. i don't think these two actors are doing a very good job of acting like they're attracted to each other, so it's jarring to go in the youtube comments to see their fans all "wow the look in his eyes when his love interest said he liked someone else... he looks heartbroken..." no... he kind of doesn't. i'm not sure what the difference is between these stories but i'm just less on board for mhok/day than i was for liming/heart or even jim/wen! so maybe after last twilight finishes i'll watch the time loop one or something.
thirdly: produce japan finished airing and i promptly got spoiled by one of the former contestants posting the lineup on her instagram. (i'm trying to use instagram less anyway.) hooray for kokoro, keiko, and shizuku! and also for rinon, who, like... she went from seventeenth to third and then PLACED SECOND IN THE WHOLE DAMN THING.
and finally: while i've been between produce japan episodes, i've been rewatching the first season of how to get away with murder. partly because jack falahee is hot, partly out of nostalgia for coliver being one of baby's first gay ships back in the day, partly because i just like procedurals i think. i only watched the first two seasons (and i hear the plot really spun out of control after that) but i might keep watching it off and on. mostly because of connor/oliver. shh.
