Nooooooooooooo my favorite scene is gone. I was really looking forward to seeing how they handled it 😢
Ok so the fundamental looming issue that stands in the way of jdrama Kurodachi is that Kurosawa & Adachi are very insecure people who are unable to be honest with each other about their needs. Kurosawa puts on this facade of the perfect, inerrable human being, and Adachi cannot stand conflict, to the point where he is a chronic people-pleaser who can't stand up for himself.
So the pivotal moment of the jdrama, to me, is that Adachi is so anxious about Kurosawa finding out about his magic that he decides to have sex with him before he's emotionally ready, so that he can get rid of his powers & never have to tell him, and the truth only comes out before he goes through with it because he breaks down & has a panic attack. This scene is just so very important & relatable to me, it's what made me fall in love w the series. It's not the same story without it.
And thdrama Karanachi seem to have absolved all their issues by the end of their first date? Karan isn't putting up a facade, he genuinely is near-perfect and just overeager in his affection? Achi overcomes his conflict-aversion in one afternoon, & eventually chooses to tell Karan about his magic of his own accord because the time is right. And it's very sweet, but these aren't the same people. It's a less nuanced, less emotionally vulnerable story imo.
Like I've said before, the cherry magic jdrama is a bittersweet, sometimes melancholy adult coming-of-age story about finding your own self-worth & realizing you deserve happiness. And while the thdrama is very sweet & fluffy, it doesn't carry that same impact.
That being said, I very much appreciate the lovely uncensored kisses of the thdrama 🥺. This is what we should've gotten all along.

theres definitely a line of thought ive noticed in liberal circles and in media and stuff where they think that bad stuff works and is true but is just bad for some moral reason.
but the thing is that this stuff is just factually wrong. eugenics doesnt work. race science isnt true. theyre morally wrong, yes, but theyre also factually incorrect, ideas that are deployed in service of monstrous ideology despite the fact that they simply arent true.
and its a major impediment to effectively combating these ideas, because if you concede their premises, you have already given ground to your enemies.

I’m reading a gothic horror novel and the author put a note that was essentially a TW at the beginning that basically said “yes, this book contains depictions of problematic sexist and ableist behavior. That is because I’m writing in a book is set in the 1800s.” YEAH EXACTLY.
One really fun thing about modern gothic horror set in the past is that there are bits of horror that the modern audience sees that a protagonist cannot. A dirty cut put into the mouth prior to germ theory, a transfusion set in an era before blood typing, use of therapies that in the modern world we know harm a patient, etc.

I find it very telling, of both the character differences & cultural differences, that in the thai version they added a plot hurdle of a company policy against coworkers dating. Whereas in the jdrama it treated as a given that they will never be able to come out at work & hardly mentioned.
But also, Karanachi need this extra narrative hurdle because they are less flawed people than Kurodachi, who generate enough complications of their own merit such that the work issue is never treated as a serious problem.
“People don’t understand the word ruthless. They think it means ‘mean.’ It’s not about being mean. It’s about seeing the bright, clear line that leads from A to B. The line that goes from motive to means. Beginning to end. It’s about seeing that bright, clear line and not caring about anything but the beautiful fact that you can see the solution. Not caring about anything else but the perfection of it.”
- Marco, Book #30: The Reunion, pg. 71 (by K.A. Applegate)

I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.
Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.
Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.
OH MAN, THIS ISN’T FAIR!

....oh my god
ive found that partially treated mental illness can sometimes look to uninvolved onlookers like faked mental illness.
"someone who really has pOCD would be disgusted and horrified at their intrusive thoughts" or maybe i'm in therapy & am going by the books, being radically ambivalent to my intrusive thoughts instead of wasting energy mentally washing my paws of sin. i'm not going to perform my rock bottom for you for the sake of being believed.
"I won't perform my rock bottom for you for the sake of being believed" is going straight into my permanent storage holy shit
