American Fan:

You're welcome and I'm so happy you enjoyed it!! Hate to break it to you though...Nam Shi Ah is already on my fav BL actor list. Sorrrrry, not sorry!

Aw man…let’s share?

 axdxex:

omg I finally watched the first ep of My Only 12% and have you guys lead me astray with the promise of a cute drama? Because it most definitely is adorable— but why does it feel like them getting from point A to B is going to HURT.

  • I think I like Earth much better in this than UMWA.
  • Santa!!! I follow him on all the socials, but had only ever watched him in Between Us and competing on Fantasy Boys. He does cute high school boy really well.

Anyway, I feel good about this one. It feels homey.

Oh yeah I cried a lot in this drama lol (it may just be me since I’m so emotional) 

But I’m glad ur enjoying so far! 


@RXinw we’ll miss u!! Make sure to get enough rest. I hope that ur work goes well Hia <3 

@p43425 I love Cooheart and honestly loved his character in UWMA (am I the only one who watched the series just to see the KornIntouch scenes?) 

But yeah, I hated his character and story in LBC (although I kinda just hated the whole series in general lol) 

So I guess I’m the only one who cried when Cake and See-Eiw parted when Cake went to America? And when See-Eiw’s mum died and everyone was crying? And when See-Eiw finally talked to his dad? Ok, that confirms it: I’m way too emotional lol

Cooheart can be very cute and sweet, but as to your question: Yes, out of 66,120 MDL watchers, it seems you are the only one. Revel in your uniqueness!

 OnyxTheHedgehog:
LBC (although I kinda just hated the whole series in general lol)

I love it despite its flaws (especially the awful Tin/Can ending, before they sloppily retconned everything in LBC2). Part of this is coloured by nostalgia, as it's one of the first Asian BLs I watched, but it's also because I am generally willing to overlook a lot of flaws in favour of the good.

 OnyxTheHedgehog:
I guess I’m the only one who cried

Naw, I also get very emotional and teary at all that kind of stuff, but at least I knew where the series was going in the end.

August Challenge Day 26 ~

What music genre do you listen to the most? Share some favorite songs from your playlist.

I have two genres I listen to the most and which one depends on whether or not I want words. 

For words, it's Rock music, or anything hard hitting. I'll listen to anything from Halestorm and In This Moment, as they have been my favourites for the last decade and are still my all time favourites in the genre. 

A few of my favourites from these groups are ~

Halestorm ~ Mz Hyde  //   I Like it Heavy  //  Black Vultures  // Back From The Dead  // Raise Your Horns

In This Moment (Uses vocal fry/scream if that's not your thing)  ~  Roots   //   Big Bad Wolf  //  Natural Born Sinner  //  Scarlet

I've been discovering Asian Rock lately and have been loving anything from the following ~

 ONEWE ~ First song I heard AuRoRa

THE ROSE ~ First song I heard Alive

ONE OK ROCK ~ First song I heard Stand Out Fit In

and of course, the one who paved the way for me ~ 

<3 HIDE ~ Damage  

X Japan ~ Scars

Moving on the other genre, when I want the world to be quiet, I move to instrumental. I guess this would be considered more trailer/bgm as opposed to classical, although I do listen to classical as well. 

For actual classical, that's Paganini  because I love violin music. 

Other honourable mentions are Audiomachine, Cezame Trailers, Hans Zimmer, Thomas Bergersen/Two Steps From Hell.

Viola BGM

I Will Find You ~ The whole La Belle Epoque album is beautiful 

Black Blade

I do have a preference for celtic, nordic and asian genre instrumentals or anything that appeals to the myth and folklore nerd in me. I'm subscribed and try to support all these composers linked.

Koan

Quest Beyond the Horizon

Spirit of the Wild

Baba Yaga

Northwind

And a very special one for deeply personal and spiritual reasons, although this one has folkloric lyrics ~ 

Flower Maiden  

Music is language of the soul. Words are good when someone can sing or scream what your feelings. It's a whole other level when someone can create something that reaches deeper and speaks to you, without saying anything at all <3

 Emma:
ABBA - Money, Money, Money => https://open.spotify.com/track/3lKN03PDeBnXZS7sDukRBt?si=9e6d8f6029714bd5
Rammstein - Mann gegen Mann => https://open.spotify.com/track/0GxIAMtKFYTQZpR1avO6HB?si=1ed4fa70ebda4447
Lisa - Money => https://open.spotify.com/track/7hU3IHwjX150XLoTVmjD0q?si=dc8df77ebbc542eb

Never thought I'd see Rammstein sandwiched by ABBA and Kpop Lisa LOL  You have a very eclectic list 

 axdxex:
I don't watch horror and gore-- except when it comes in the form of a supernatural romance with horror elements. If this was an alternate universe, and I was to appear in a BL, I would definitely choose this type of genre.

My inspiration for this show would be Hotel Del Luna, The Spirealm, Midnight Museum, Sell Your Haunted House and the trailers for (the not yet released) Khemjira and Goddess Bless You From Death.

The set up would be the classical MC who can see ghost and the supernatural and is therefore tormented. He is later aided by a capable ML who get's involved with the MC because of his occupation/history. Our ML may also have clairvoyance, but to a lesser extent, and relies on his knowledge/intellect to help MC. There will be of course a lot of taking care of each other after injuries, quiet pining, arguments and  dramatic confession after a life threatening situation.

Supernatural romances are one of my top favourites <3 I said fantasy wuxia for mine. I don't know why my brain didn't mention supernatural elements but I guess they do appear in Wuxia occasionally LOL Your idea sounds awesome. I'd watch it. 

 American Fan:
Good ole country music. It's big in my state...the wife leaves the cheater, the cheater's dog dies and his truck breaks down. He's crying in his booze...

I actually spent the first half of my life in the Deep South - good ole Georgia (the Atlanta suburbs). I hated country music back then, but now that I live up north I really enjoy listening to it. I actually lived in New Hampshire for a long time and country music is surprisingly popular there despite being way up north. I am still not a huge fan of a LOT of country music (especially the absolute shit pop-country that was really popular in the 2010s - the stuff sang by men). There was a huge switch in the country music genre after 9/11, from like "working class woes" to "beer truck women America" - I think the genre is finally recovering though. Recent country music is much better than like 10 years ago. I enjoy country music sung by women from all eras though. Gimme a good "kill my cheating husband" song and I'll eat it up every time.

Yonaguni - Bad Bunny

I <3 bad bunny. My fav is "Después de la Playa"  - seriously a fantastic party song. 

 axdxex:

 GelfyFaeth222:

lol, fine by me. Also have you watched "Manner of Death" ? (oh no, now i'm going to shower you with recs because you liked the sign-) I don't remember much, but i really like this one too. plot packed -murder- and MaxTul

2) "To Sir With Love"

this is not for everyone. It's a thai lakron. kind of uh like soap opera style? -very dramatic- JaFilm. I was looking for their dramas after liking 

"Laws Of Attraction" which is also a thriller BL (yea another murder) also JaFilm

oh no my inner self is coming out, I reallly enjoy thriller or Plot packed Bl's than dramas focus on romance. I'll stop before I tire you out. and do try watching the trailers before watching these , because there is no fantasy (fantasy BLs deserve the best also thriller too okay ash stop-) in any of these.

Oh it doesn't have to be a romantic plot. I enjoy murder mystery, action genres too, as long as they're not too graphic. Apparently my statistics say that Death is my top tag LMAO Which makes me sound, oh so cheerful LOL

- Also, LOVED The Sign, vehemently. I have now have 2 tens. Never once thought a BL could get a 10. The Untamed isnt even a 10 LOL
