THE BIRDCAGE (1996)

everyday i am subjected to the self-delusions of other people and then i find myself wondering what sort of very obvious self-delusions am i suffering from that other people see

Nine people I'd like to get to know better

Last song I listened to

Absolutely obsessed with the grooviness of all this band's covers.

Currently watching

Excited to finally start Season 2 of Interview with the Vampire but the stress of watching the shitshow that is my country's presidential election right now has been making me seek out the gentle escapism of To The Wonder.

Gorgeous cinematography and the women characters are lovingly written.

Edit to add: Nevermind the FL is awful. WTF kind of last episode was that?

Also, actor Yu Shi gives me young Takeshi Kaneshiro vibes, which is never a bad thing.

Sweet/savory/spicy:

As a cook, this is like picking between my children but if I had to choose...savory.

Relationship status

Blissfully single 🥂

Current obsession

Just started my first Chinese web novel, Yuwu/Remnants of Filth, and am already unwell about the word "home". Pretty sure this danmei will destroy me by the end.

Tagging

Anyone is welcome to join in to make up the final nine but a few folks might be @silviakundera @renewedmotionforjudgment @dreamyklutzs @aster-daisy @oceanodedoces @tsuyoi-hikari

i may not be able to write fic or draw fanart or make gifs or post in-depth analysis or charm everyone with my personality but i do bring a certain mental illness quality to the fandom that i think is necessary to maintain the balance in the ecosystem

clarification on the current situation with Meet You At The Blossom that started yesterday in chinese online spaces and weibo

the show was promised to have both chinese and thai dubbing options on iQIYI (chinese owned drama streaming platform), when the show aired it did not provide option of chinese dub. the preview for episode 3 that was shared today on youtube had thai dub instead of chinese, when the first two previews from yesterday had chinese

official weibo account of the show was wiped clean some time after the premiere, actors deleted everything related to the show from their weibo accounts (thai production company Big Superstar's twitter and instagram, thai/chinese distribution company ARTOP MEDIA, actors and series director's instagrams are normal and have everything in place)

the situation itself, told by a chinese fan who is a part of the fanclub (?) and the show's weibo group below. interaction between op (chinese twitter user) who recommended the show to their followers, second person (chinese twitter user) who replied asking if it's really a show made by China, op replying it's only a Taiwan and Thailand collab, third person (the weibo fan from China, new account) corrected and explained what is happening, all on the tweets below:

it will probably not affect the continuation of airing of the show (assumption)

chinese dub might be cancelled and the show might only air in thai dub from now (assumption)

you do not need to stop watching the show, many people tried very hard to make it happen, made loopholes to get it to air and risked a lot, hoping for a end product that will be well and widely received

* note that i myself do not speak chinese and do not go on weibo often, and gathered this information with a friend who does speak chinese and frequents weibo, who also notified me about the situation today, translations of the tweets are automatic twitter translated, accounts in the screenshots who were talking might be biased or emotional
