how much do you like these tropes? enemies to lovers 8/10 second chance 6/10 fake dating 8/10 friends to lovers 9/10 age gap 9/10 found family 10/10 grumpy × sunshine 7/10 mpregnancy 2/10 slowburn 10/10 love triangle 2/10

Listening to epic the musical and in regards to Penelope and Odysseus, I *love* dynamics where someone has done unspeakable things for/while waiting for the one they love, but when they meet the loved one, they don’t know how they’ll be seen or if they can still be loved

Today i’ve learned that I’m more of a perfectionist than I thought and maybe thats why my writing is consistently at least 1-3k longer than estimated

Link Click spoilers only if you know ORV spoilers Was going to say that Lu Guang is like Kim Dokja (novel) and istg he’s basically doing the Kim Dokja thing But he’s also kinda like Yoo Joonghyuk (novel), an endless journey that may not have an outcome In short he’s just suffering

#ranwan sick fic bit where MR has a fever and is under like 4 blankets, holding himself still in silent, trembling discomfort. He’s cold despite the layers, far too awake for his liking, and everything feels hazy. A gentle, calloused hand land on his exposed forehead, and

I’ve only watched one (1!) episode of S3 link click and just hearing the first 5s of the S3 OP makes me sad Three seasons and it has control over my main emotions /j Fear - OverThink Happiness - Surprising Click Sadness - The Eye

Link Click Bridon Arc Ep1 minor spoilers I can’t believe on top of the angst we learn that in the ED and concepts art, Lu Guang is wearing Cheng Xiaoshi’s shirt. That is *diabolical* and adds even more angst ToT

I know it’s a fairly minimum bar but I started a new shoujo and the way the ML actively tries out the things his crush likes (vs superficially nodding along or not making an effort to understand) + remembers and keeps her habits in mind is super sweet TvT

Harusono Shou-sensei does yearning SO well, esp with the slow burn, one sided want-to-touch-but-dont-want-to-boundaries ! I really went from fangirling over the written yearning of 2ha three seconds ago to fangirling over the visual yearning of Hirano to Kagiura xD so lovely

Lu Guang with earrings is the prettiest Christmas present ever

Since I recently saw a show where a character who wants to die ends up (kinda predictably) dying for a perceived greater good, I’m actually hoping genshin doesn’t go that route with mauvika Anyway mauvika and furina would trauma bond really well! Endlessly moving forward for an unknown end :)

If I had a nickel for every series I’ve seen where someone dies slowly while climbing stairs, I’d now have two nickels thanks to genshin

Perhaps it’s because of setting or because of that one chapter in 2ha, but I feel like Ranwan fics have a one room trope instead of a one bed trope I kind of love it LOL

Maybe I’m insane but the Link Click S3 OP has even better animation than usual and the line art (thicker+more varied lines?) goes insane and everyone is so p r e t t y + they really went all in after the reveal of S2, didn’t they? The shock of the season now casually the OP for the next season

reread Dream Saga #shoujo manga for the first time in ~ 8 yrs and it still has solid story + characters, altho pacing is pretty fast Its from 1997 and it’s cool how some themes are still a bit uncommon today, and seeing the main theme about nature hits diff after taking sustainability classes

Finished Zenless zone zero ch 5 and it was really cool! Seeing everyone come together was hype since I didn’t expect it at all, and HAND and the Cunning Hares have a fun dynamic + the mystery of Belle and Wise continues xD they talk about eye implants so casually but zzz likes human experiments

Born to blush unseen arrived and the cover is so delicate and elegant plus the metallic detail and the colors are so pleasing and the drawn flowers are so cute and the keychain is perfect and I’m so deliriously happy!! Ty @xxccxy.bsky.social and @yukinachiart.bsky.social for putting so much love

Watching arcane S2 and the moral dubiousness of all the main cast (esp compared to S1) is insane

I saw people counting the shoujos they’ve read and that’ll take me a hot minute since I have to cross check the titles and magazine But, according to my un-updated google doc reading list, I can confidently say I’ve read over 200 manhwa with a female protag XD (romfan, mostly)

I once made a list about how well ranwan can work in a horror/quickflow au xD In celebration of horror bl announcements, here’s a quickly-conceived thread fic with no explicit spoilers for either 2ha or horror bls #Ranwan horror danmei au// CWN wakes up standing in a locked, empty room.

I’ve been alone in my modern gaming danmei + quickflow transmigration (and horror) danmei appreciation for SO long I’m so excited!! And being able to collect physical books of ICDI would be amazing

36/100 which makes sense because I started reading shoujo from the ~2010 era But this is how I learned ancient magus bride is shounen and the three redheads that I became aware of the same time (think they came to western unofficial side then) aren’t actually a trio </3

The Harumasa (ZZZ) demo the other day and today Xia Fei/Felix’s PV (Link Click) ! So pretty, so immensely well animated, and never in my life have I had so much content dedicated to guys who fit my fictional type I’m hyped to see their in depth backstories and character motivations !

ranwan cliche modern AU thread rich kid Chu Wanning helps injured Mo Ran and Mo Ran falls in love, a la romance cliches in the course of a day, Mo Ran decides he’ll marry the pretty gege that saved him. its not a snap decision nor is it love at first sight (altho there’s def attraction)

Finally watched detective Conan movie 27 and end credit aside, the pacing was really done!! So much happening but it didn’t feel rushed, and it checked off most of the boxes (explosions, skateboard, theme song, “Edogawa Conan, tantei sa”) Was super fun to watch ^-^

I’m kind of excited for Medalist anime adaptation and the 3D ice skating gives me childhood nostalgia from Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream xD The manga always does a fairly good job of showing the choreo so hopefully the anime choreos live up to it! #shoujosky

Saw these corset-esque pants (and then accidentally refreshed and lost it) and wanted to draw Chu Wanning in them so I made a quick outfit! #2ha #danmei

#promosky ! - romfan+shoujo/josei+psych horror - hoyoverse (main genshin and ZZZ) + LaD - manga favs: tbhk, gsnk, detco, OnS, Skip Beat, Yona, Villain’s Day Off, etc - danmei favs: 2ha, I Can Do It - trauma trio of ORV novel, Link Click, ALNST, (+ bonus Princess Tutu) - SVT, natori, AtR, Chevy, etc

As an American, where maybe 1 in 500 anime watchers know Detective Conan, seeing a Detective Conan reference in my danmei novel feels like getting hit over the head.. I can’t believe I’m fortunate enough to have fandoms coincide?? And to understand the reference?? (Married Thrice to Salted Fish)

Inuokko thread/brainrot over misc insomniac!Yuuta x nightowl!Toge ideas! - Yuuta, some nights, is too anxious to fall asleep, but he knows he can go to Toge and just..rest with him. Comfortably. Until the anxiety fades away - Yuuta listens to podcasts to fall asleep and Toge gets invested
