I read Memoirs of Hadrian last year and there's moments in it I still think about. Beautiful book

it's in season ~~somewhere π
I found recipes for /unripe/ banana currys in South India, but these are RIPE bananas.
So if ppl make curries with RIPE bananas in your culture, let me know
for 2026 I bought this monthly "seasonal veg and fruit" booklet with recipes for each month for what's in season. March is for banana - great. ONE of the recipes is for a banana curry. and I just feel like this is white ppl nonsense. I can't find any proof banana currys EXISTING in any culture.
cute - book check point π
Last: Melissa Lucashenko - Edenglassie
Current: A Borges collection + Toni Morrison's Beloved
Last added: Paolo Giardano - Heaven and Earth
Next: undecided, I choose based on vibes π
ppl need to stop comparing Yoongi to Cillian Murphy bc I listened to a long interview with him once and quickly concluded that he is DULL AS FUCK, so frankly ppl need to stop lusting after that boring ass man and, secondly, stop besmirching Yoongi's delightful personality thru association.
thank u.
and now Liber crashed and I lost half a page of text *FLIPS TABLE* *STORMS OUT*
Embracing my millenial self by listening to the remains of my CD collection lately. Some albums are still so good (Transatlanticism, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness), some less so (could not bring myself to finish The Milk-Eyed Mender).
Screenshot of the GQ OT7 interview with Namjin looking off-camera in sync, and Jimin being cute in the background
who do they keep side-eyeing off-screen π is it a staff member frantically trying to signal what they can disclose π€£
Namjin: *lowkey stressed*
Jimin, meanwhile: la la la la la π
I'm so stuck with the WIP, there's so many ways this chapter could play out but none of the scenarios feels quite RIGHT, I've sketched out like 7 different versions, END MEEEEEEEEEE
my god I am so going to lose my mind over this OT7 comeback. I love every single one of them, I love the way they are together. honestly OT7 is such found family crack, that's what we've all been missing for years now, and we're going to be so fed and I'm going to be so in love with them all
That "if you could be non-famous for one week, what would you do" question is IDEEEAAAL fic material, btw.
Bc Jimin meets a genie and that's his wish, and turns out if they could be non-famous, Your-Ship-Here would, in fact, just bone each other. yessss good foodddd
Jungkook: Lately I don't snore anymore! π
Yoongi: Yeah that's true
OKAY YOONKOOK OKAY.
Bangtan constantly teasing JK about crying really makes you wonder how many times that baby has teared up over wanting to be OT7 again π
Totally normal thing to do π
MINIMONI+YOONMIN BATHHOUSE BUDDIES. HOW DID I FORGET TO INCLUDE THAT.
SO MUCH TO UNPACK. Yoonjin shower playlist is dead, but Yoonkok shower playlist rises. Seokjin having all the Namjoon Opinions and HE MUST SHARE THEM. Namjoon's honey thighs. JK wants to live at Tae's house. Jimin sending Hobi kisses. I just don't know where to start at this buffet????
NEW INTERVIEW!
GQ: BTS Reply to Fans Online
The way I RAAAAN from my meeting to watch the OT7 interview, oh my god, and somehow they're more gay for eo than ever
So that's what I'll watch next π
it's fantasy bc the men are more likeable than men irl ππ
yeah and it's a valid point - but in terms of representation, the dingy saunas are NOT being shown on mainstream TV. and I feel like that's why some ppl are ticked off, bc it's all romance and no fisting in the sling room. I mean when did we last have a show that embraced that? Queer as Folk???
IDK. But it's an interesting conversation to follow.
Which is a fantasy you will find in straight romance too. Is it about female writers romanticising emotional connection and the intimacy of that and men /participating/ in that what gay media critics are really objecting to when they say "this isn't realistic"? Apart from the monogamy of it all.
The continuing discourse around women writing gay romance and these stories being slammed as "not realistic" by gay men continues to be fascinating. 1) I fully agree they're not, 2) and romance as a genre isn't about realism, 3) is the objection women write men as a lot more vulnerable?
TWO WEEKS TO ARIRANG!!! I AM SO EXCITED πππ
Sat down with my soup, spilled half of it all over myself. Have given up on today. Will try again tomorrow.
Came to a co-working space for the afternoon, and I've been to one of their other branches where they had fluffy sucks for you to put on, but this branch has no fluffy socks and ngl it's ruined my day. Give me my socks!!! π
πππ
How many times have you watched the OT7 trailer?
Yes.
