current obsessions

 

bts

My bias is J-hope, bias wrecker is Jimin, and bias wrecker wrecker… RM or Suga, depending on the day, lol.

I found my way to becoming ARMY rather strangely—I wasn’t really a fan until I went to their Love Yourself Speak Yourself Tour in 2019 with my bestie, Sarah. Their energy, message, and BTS-ness drew me in, and I’ll be ARMY forever.

Like the rest of ARMY, I’m impatiently waiting for 2025, but very much enjoying supporting the group’s solo ventures. RM’s Indigo is, unsurprisingly, brilliant.

my wardrobe

I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions, but this year, I decided to stop stopping myself from wearing all the nice clothes I already own. I’ve got a habit of “saving things,” be it books or clothes, and this year, I’ve decided to let myself wear my medium clothes to work, bc I have begun to HATE my work wardrobe. This has brightened all my days and I highly recommend it.

kdramas

This isn’t new, but I am having a bit of a renaissance with Kdramas. I’m planning to watch a ton of Studio Dragon productions this year. Update!: I’m finally watching Crash Falling on You. Holy Korean Outlander, Batman. It’s So Good.

Black dagger brotherhood

Sooooo I bought the first book, Dark Lover, on a recommendation/whim and it sat on my shelf for ages. In a capricious moment, I grabbed it and started reading. Didn’t stop for the next day and a half. Have since devoured 7 more titles in the series. My fav brothers are Zsadist (obviously) and Rhevenge (also obviously). Most looking forward to Qhuinn and Blay’s book (no one is surprised). Also Saxton bc I want to know more about him. And Murdher. Mhurder? These names. They’re terrible. THESE BOOKS, however, are fangtastic. (Yes, I hate me, too.) But god. Just read them. I love them so much.

Genshin impact… still.

Still playing and mostly loving it. A problem a lot of endgame players have is that once you hit AR 55, things SLOW DOWN. I still have lots of story to do, but I do feel a lot like I’m just waiting for character releases and grinding for supplies. I just got Al-Haitham and the Primordial Jade Spear which… GOALS. Now I just have to level them up….. Sigh. But omg BAIZHU SOON. BAAAAIIIIIZHU.

BANANA FISH

I can’t say anything about it yet. Just watch it; it’s on Amazon Prime. I’ve watched it three times now. I’ve have all the manga except the elusive Vol. 16 that seems to have disappeared from the surface of the earth. I will find it!

I am planning a Master’s Thesis level video essay about this series and its inspiration.

Ash & Eiji forever. FOREVER.
