Oh fuck we're finally going up ~the mountain~ 😬🫣 #thefirstjasmine

There is no shame in my household My sister is due to give birth this week so I called her in the middle of a family garden party and we proceeded to have a loud conversation about how to prevent tearing 😌 We used to talk about periods at dinner deliberately to make mum's boyfriends uncomfortable

#thefirstjasmine captures Tang Dynasty refined melancholy so well like why am I so emotional about the consort dowager and pondering the flux of human relations

Practicing Beethoven with this massive fuckoff affogato

Manchester is hotter than Tokyo this week 💀💀 Try not to die everyone and make sure your animals have ice packs/cold pools

Live footage of me discussing the world cup with everyone his week youtu.be/MusyO7J2inM?...

New in intelligent rodent pet with grabby hands - while being kitchen-trained, Po-chan learned how to open the pasta/beans containers by herself and get a snack, and now we have to re-home all our pasta/beans 🙃

Andy Burnham please don't turn into a huge fucking wetwipe challenge

This scene floored me lmao like BABE 💀💀 "Why tho??" 🥴 #thefirstjasmine

Wow I was so correct with which 2026 shows would be great, people should consult me, I could be a drama soothsayer

This is the best item of clothing I have ever purchased and will ever purchase Is nihilism + rodents a common combination of interests????

#thefirstjasmine I love how he's obsessed with her and she is physically there but completely romantically unavailable because the inside of her head looks like this:

GUYS

I don't want to alarm anyone but I am going to a marmotte cafe

He'll be all the more delicious when we finally eat him 😌

The sentiments in #thefirstjasmine seem so authentically historical, and the issues the characters deal with (chronic pain, incommunicable trauma, etc) are so human and believable. I feel like the writers transmigrated from the tang dynasty where they wandered as mountain ascetics.

Nobody understands me but this is my defying gravity 😭😭

Today I taught my tiny 9yo EIKEN pre-1 (!!) student all about how the government works (which she needs to know to answer the questions). We had a piece of A3 and drew a big diagram of how the govt gets money and how it uses it/the effects it has on our lives. So cute. Anyway she's woke now.

It's maximising efficiency and cdramamaxxing with steroids and peptides but as with most kinds of "-maxxing" it makes itself worse 😭😭

I'm always instantly suspicious of flashy cdramas that have aesthetic and an overabundance of drama but often lack soul and character nuance. Like for me the contrast between Ashes to Crown and Mo Li rn is quite stark. The latter is much quieter but so much more enjoyable because it focuses...

OMG ITS EPISODE TWO AND HES ALREADY IN THE BATH IM CRYING #thefirstjasmine

#thefirstjasmine starting off strong with bad CGI monkeys!! 😂👏🏻👏🏻

My historical #cdrama peeve is when they don't shout anywhere near loud enough for the armies to hear them lmao like my guy those people are 50~100 metres away from you, your "loud talking" voice isn't going to cut it 😭😂

Guys I'm really excited for Mo Li like I can't explain it but Bai Lu and Cheng Lei is so sexy to me, I really love them both, they are true equals in hotness

One thing about me is if you put Sunsun on it I will buy it

After my partner dies (he is older than me so I am expecting to outlive him) I'm very seriously considering living in a commune-type situation. If anyone would like to join my Tokyo obaachan commune in approximately 30~40 years (potentially sooner in the case of a mishap) please let me know.

I imagined an entire music video in great detail and it's so dope but I don't have a song or the financial means to execute it 😌

One of these is not actually a stuffed animal

My defining aesthetic is "wow her lipgloss is poppin, but there are little bits of flaky pastry stuck to it"

I'm watching #theheir and I love the intentional cool-toned light grey colour scheme so much, it's super refreshing. A good colourist can add so much to a show tbh

Guys I cried so hard in the last few eps of #asplendidmatch I didn't even know I was so invested 😂😂 Tell me why every time there's a show with multiple potential matches for the FL I always end up weeping for one of the ones she doesn't choose 💀 And the Ye Xian Chen Yanyun hug?? Nah I wasn't fine

I need to be in this throuple so badly, I want Bai Lu to slap me and Cheng Lei to hold a knife to my throat 😌

Me: I'm going to go freelance so that I can prioritise my free time and work less Me, now that I'm freelance: ah, another seven-class Saturday

Just had lunch in a cafe and accidentally sat near a bunch of British and American content creator bros having a conversation and omg the visceral hatred I felt 😂🤢 I actually despise cis straight men who make videos

My unpopular opinion in Japan is that I hate most Jpop because it's too happy and I can't stand songs about doing your best and being motivated and feeling good 🤢

Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer

Has anyone else seen that DJ on tiktok/insta who does the cdrama song club nights (I think in Australia?) because they're so funny I need to go so bad

Ci Sha is fit as fuck obviously but Ren Min is SO sickeningly beautiful it's actually inspirational 😭😭 Like wtf?? She's what I look like in my dreams. I started doing my eyebrows like her lmao #asplendidmatch

My partner made Po-chan a little food bowl in pottery class 😭😭

Pet/health-related OCD is crazy coz my degu's oestrous cycle was one day off and I assumed she was sick and gunna die 🤡 (Her heat is here now) 🐁

I SAW MY FIRST EVER SIX/SEVEN IN A JAPANESE CLASSROOM TODAY 😭😭 It's reached us 💀

When I was in school my grandma used to scold me for calling people "chavs", saying it was a classist slur 😂😭 But firstly, we were at the same state school; I thought that'd be the most marginal-ass classism ever Also it was reactionary, since said "chavs" always tried to bully me for being nerdy

Ugh every time I arrive back in Tokyo I get a rush of love 🗼☀️ I love my weird sprawling metropolis home

Stayed up till 11:30 interpreting for the Norwegians while everyone drank whisky 💀 So I guess it was work? Anyway rijicho gave me a money packet so it's fine lol

I'm going to Tokushima as I was "invited" by the rich people I took around Europe last time. Is this work?? Stay tuned to find out. ☀️

A lady in the dentist asked what my native language was and I said English and she said oh I thought you were French, because of your hair ..... I have a bob 😂😂 Honestly that's the vibe I'm going for though so thank you strange lady

Burrowing in the fabrics while I clean her house 😭 #degu

Is it just me or are we going a bit Ming crazy this year? 🤔 #cdrama

Can season 2 of #PerfectCrown be taxing the rich and ushering in a new era of meritocratic socialism?
