🌸List five things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox of 10 more people. Let's spread some positivity and joy today!🌸
What a lovely way to start the day.
Thanks @watchingblsnowandforever for this ask as well this morning. I appreciate the ask so very much.
I did a lot of "non show" related lists the other day so I'll stick to all show related things that make me happy today.
Any time someone makes a post that helps me understand a show on a deeper level whether that is translation notes, added context, or details I missed.
2. Any time a show has symbolism that is worked directly into the narrative and works on more than one level. This is euphoric levels of happiness here.
3. Any time I actually find an actor attractive (and not just pretty to look at).
Actual attraction is rare and hits me so very hard that it can be incredibly distracting in the best way. For example, Min Jun's arms/shoulders in Business as Usual make it very hard for me to focus on meta in that show. There are some really interesting parallels and differences in lighting between the initial love scene and the reunion scene. But have I been able to write meta for it? No. Because all my brain can focus on is Min Jun's arms. But that's ok. I've accepted it's a happy place for me.
4. Any time a NC scene serves narrative and/or symbolism while still delivering the feels.
5. Any time a sunshine character smiles.
The world needs more sunshine in it.
These characters always manage to wiggle their way into my heart.
That said, the narrative is rarely kind to these types of characters. Do I dare play Something's Not Right before work today? I just don't know. Especially now that this post has put me in a very happy place indeed.
And a bonus happy thing: A lovely gif. Screenshots just do not do some things justice. Tumblr would not be the same without all of the amazing gif makers. Y'all are the best. 💜
Thank you for the spot of joy to start my morning!
