Help my sister find a show to watch! 😊

Recommendations Please!

I’ve started watching Asian dramas and I need some recommendations.

Here’s what I’ve seen and liked so far:

I Hear You - The first drama I watched. It was cute and made me want to watch more.

Love O2O (series) - I loved the friendships in this one. I liked the strength of the relationship between Bei Wei Wei and Xiao Nai, although it was so hard to watch them kiss, but the fault of that was all on her. The sort of relationship between Hao Mei and KO was adorable. I fell in love with Yang Yang, Zhang Bin Bin, and Zheng Ye Cheng.

Good Morning Call – I liked the premise of the show. I had major second lead syndrome though. All the other guys who were interested in her were better than the main and I wanted better for them all too.

A Love So Beautiful – I liked that the other characters got some background and story time as well. I felt bad for Wu Bo Song, but I liked the main couple in this. And the relationship between their friends was so sweet.

Accidentally In Love – The plot for this one was kind of all over the place, but I enjoyed it. The second lead again deserved better, but I realize this is a common theme and I’m just going to have to get used to it.  

I Am Not A Robot – I loved this one. It made me cry. The main actor was so convincing in his emotional scenes and the scenes where he was having an allergic reaction. I like that some of the antagonists were redeemed a bit by the end.

You’re My Pet – This one was odd, but in a good way? I watched the Japanese 2017 version.

Addicted – I watched this one based off another person’s recommendation. I was disappointed to learn it had been cancelled because of the subject matter, but I know that it’s a continuing struggle all over the world for acceptance.

Pretty Li Hui Zhen – I watched this one just because it had Zhang Bin Bin. I really disliked Bai Hao Yu until just a few episodes before the end. He was horrible to Li Hui Zhen and she was so obsessed with this memory of their childhood that she was completely oblivious to Lin Yi Mu’s feelings. I may have been a little - ok, a lot - biased, but honestly, why go for the mean guy when you’ve got the fun sweet one right there? He deserved better too.

Marriage, Not Dating – I liked that he realized his feelings were genuine before she did. Even though I liked Han Yeo Reum, I think Gong Gi Tae and Joo Jang Mi were perfectly matched.

My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend – This one was funny, but surprisingly had a lot of heart. I loved the comedy throughout. I still cried a few times though, especially near the end. I wish there was another season, just because.

I’m currently in the middle of:

Eternal Love – I’m only about halfway through it. I love Zhang Bin Bin’s character, of course. The costumes in this are gorgeous.

Absolute Boyfriend - I’m about 12 episodes from the end. Just waiting for them to be available on Viki. I understand the ending is a bit polarizing for the people who’ve seen it, but I’m invested and I’m going to finish it.  

I’m open to pretty much any genre and time period. I’d prefer if the shows weren’t completely depressing though. I have Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Viki, so any shows available on those would be great.

Thanks in advance!

I saw this picture on some random Google search about French Horns. They were saying that they used this to explain playing the Horn to a pianist. So true! When you can play almost a whole scale using only one fingering, you know your instrument has issues.

Another wonderful AU comic I'm following is the Runaways AU by @qed221b, inspired by the AU of the same name by @hey-hamlett. Guys, this comic is so well done... The pacing alone makes you want to keep reading. The characterization is perfection. The art style is clean and dynamic, and the use of color and angles helps further the plot.

And that's another thing. This plot could have been done before, but in this instance it definitely is new. I want to see more of Aizawa and Yamada's history (because the flashes we've already seen are heartbreaking), and how they've used that past to become the amazing, honorable people they are today. And I haven't even mentioned the rest of the characters they meet! They meet the 1-A kids so organically, it's not forced (and they're so frickin' cute!). I love Aizawa and Yamada's easy, comfortable relationship with each other, how trusting they are in the other's feelings and choices.

Okay, one quick fan girl moment -- indulge me. In the 8th chapter (?) in the middle where someone reached for Aizawa's wrist, his reaction, the wide eyes and fearful expression, the way he yanked his hand away saying "do not touch me" so stiltingly. Ugh! As much as I'd like to know his background and who the heck hurt my guy, I admit I was grinning like an idiot. Amazing, wonderful job, @qed221b!

Read this! You will not be disappointed!

Part 1 of ? - Runaways AU

Inspired by @hey-hamlett’s Runaways AU post, where Class 1-A (along with Aizawa and Hizashi) bit by bit piece a family together for themselves. I meant to just do a sketch dump or something for it…. But I think I may have gotten a tad carried away.

As a Horn player (the French Horn, the only "horn" on this list) it drives me up a wall when people call any instrument a horn. Call me pedantic, but all of your instruments have names. Please don't appropriate mine. I mean, yeah, we're the best, so I understand the need to be included... 😜

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW

THIS IS A TRUMPET

THIS IS A TROMBONE

THIS IS A TUBA

AND THIS IS A FRENCH HORN

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

I never share fics, but this one is sooo good! The characterization is perfect, the pacing is perfect (normally that throws me because I'm aware I'm reading something that has to essentially slow down real-time reactions), and the dialogue is witty. Even if you've never watched or read My Hero Academia, this is so true to the source material that if you don't mind spoilers, this is a great way to get a feel for the series.

Lost and Found

Lost and Found by Andai

“That kid that I watched almost win against Endeavor’s son in the Sports Festival - the one you failed to adequately protect in the USJ attack, if I’m not mistaken -” Aizawa tensed at Hisashi’s words as the man continued, “- that kid is mine, not yours.”

“Wrong,” Shouta responded simply, continuing before the aghast man in front of him could spew out any more bullshit. “Look at ‘your’ kid right now,” Aizawa said, pointedly looking back towards where Izuku was trembling, surrounded by half the class and counting, all their faces displaying worry for Izuku, contempt for Hisashi, or some mixture of the two. “Look at that kid right now,” Aizawa spat at Hisashi, “And tell me he’s still yours.” … (In which Midoriya Hisashi returns to claim what he believes is rightfully his, and everyone else tells him he can fuck right off.)

How I feel as a Horn player sitting directly in front of the trumpets in rehearsal...

Good Lord, yes. 😧

-opens Etude book- *sighs* -closes Etude book-

Merthur, yes. But did you also mean EraserMic? (Feel free to add a pic or gif. I couldn't choose and I'm worried I'll credit someone wrong...)

One thing I enjoy about “opposites attract” kind of lovers is when the two are superficially different but share the same morals/values under it all, but the process of discovering that is a slow one and hampered by the fact that they have to learn each other’s language, so to speak. They both have very different ways of communicating and showing trust and affection, so like the angsty brooding character is suspicious of the bubbly character’s care because they believe it’s insincere, while the bubbly character doesn’t notice the angsty one’s subtle but significant gestures and instead takes their cold demeanour at face value. Then slowly, slowly on their journey together they learn how the other one speaks, and copy each other’s mannerisms, etc, and come to understand their values and how they really feel, like all this is a mouthful to explain but that is *chef kisses fingers* my fucking jam babey

I think they'd be besties...

-cool aloof mysterious dude who just wants a nap -very strong ethics, angsty background -would happily expel students who don’t live up to his expectations -would also die for his students and proven it -really powerful but sometimes forgotten in the face of more well-known names -takes fav student under his wing, teaches them his secret technique -stole my heart 

which one am I describing ??

I'm sorry, but this is never not funny.

The time Prince Arthur/Bradley almost swore

This comic from @ask-hizashi-and-shouta hurts so good! Ugh, it's just amazing. EraserMic angst is the best angst. Please see parts 1 and 2 linked at the bottom if you haven't already. And then go check out their other stuff! 😄

Death Note fans! I have a question that I'm hoping you can answer. As a new fan who just binged the whole series, "that one episode" hit me hard and made me want to rage quit the show worse than I've ever wanted to quit something in my life.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!

Okay, I think that's far enough.

So. After Rem writes Watari's name, shouldn't they already be disappearing? How would they have time to write L's name down? Or is there a rule in the Death Note that I don't remember? It bothers me that Rem was able to write two names before dying themselves. Was it just an act of convenience on the author's part to get L out of the picture to further the plot?

Please do this! It's a win all around! I've never used Audible before, so if you're in the same boat, this is a wonderful way to introduce yourself to the medium. Free 30-day trial, free codes with great recommendations, plus the fact that the narrators still get paid for their outstanding voice work (seriously, how do they do it?). I'm so excited for "The Worldship Humility" when it's released at the end of the month, and for "Play of Light" in the meantime! Thank you, @merlins-earmuffs!

FREE GIVEAWAY for Colin Morgan’s audiobook!

If you want to pre-order Colin Morgan’s audiobook FOR FREE, please message me or reply to this post!

I am a professional audiobook narrator (here are my books on Audible) and have a bunch of promo codes to give away.

I want to give back to the Merlin fandom because it is because of this fandom that I now have a side job that I love: audiobook narration. I am known as bravenclawesome on AO3 and narrated podfics (audiobooks, but for fanfiction) for many years, and the support from the fandom propelled me to do this professionally.

Calling all Merlin fans! Or Beth Crowley fans! Or Supernatural fans who understand the frustration of unrequited shipping! See the above post (or below. I'm not sure how all this works...)

Merlin fan video needed

Attention Merlin fan video makers! I need someone to make a Merlin & Arthur video for Beth Crowley’s song “Living Without You”. I’m obsessed with this song and I think it applies to them really well. I do not have video-making skills, otherwise I would attempt it myself. But I know someone out there can do this better than I can even envision. Please please please. Here’s a link to her song. https://youtu.be/WO1zD86F9LE

If anyone sees this and can point me in the direction of someone who would be willing to do this, please let me know. Or feel free to share it around.

This movie has always been and will forever be my favorite thing ever. I love absolutely everything about it: the animation, the voice acting, the characters, the plot, the music. And boy, does it hit you hard from the very beginning. The pre-Ghibli studio seamlessly combines their animation with the Unicorn tapestries, over this hauntingly beautiful opening song by Jimmy Webb and America. I get teary every single time. Thank you, Peter Beagle for this timeless, amazing novel and Rankin and Bass for the film (and allowing Peter creative control over the screenplay).

The Last Unicorn Opening [High Quality]

The Last Unicorn opening song. I love the opening of this movie.

this is the definition of Nostalgia

Sounds a lot like Aizawa in his homeroom class at UA...

"Anything is weapon if you're in deep enough trouble. There's no special training. No special skill. Just the belief that at any time you might have to hurt someone to stay alive."
