Brain child of @siathawisit and started by @maybe-boys-do-love (post). I was tagged by all these wonderful humans @befuddledcinnamonroll (here) @dramalove247 (here) @embersinthefirelight (here) @colourme-feral (here). Thank you all 🫶

Rules: The rasas are South Asian aesthetic categories that remain influential in the regions dramas and art (read more on the wikipedia article here). Literally, it’s the dominant “flavour” of a work or performance. For the game, pick a pair that represents each rasa to you. You can choose whether you want to do CP, pairings or just characters. No need to explain unless you feel like it. Then tag 5 friends to find out their flavours of love.

Well I've been reading about this and it's so interesting and completely new to me. So thank you to @siathawisit and @maybe-boys-do-love for giving me the opportunity to learn something new. After reading a bit about this I decided to go for characters instead of pairs. With one exception. Keeping it to just gifs cause time and brain.

2. Hasya (हास्यं): Laughter, Mirth, Comedy [Aoki, Kieta Hatsukoi]

3. Raudram (रौद्रं): Fury, Anger [Wei Wuxian, The Untamed]

4. Karuṇā (करुणा): Compassion, Mercy, Spiritual Longing, Sorrow [Koichi, Eternal Yesterday]

5. Bībhatsa (बीभत्सं): Disgust, Aversion, Repulsion [Young, Love in the Big City]

6. Bhayanaka (भयानकं): Horror, Terror, Overwhelm [Tae Myungha, Love for Love's Sake]

Well that's it. This is my interpretation of the theme and the chars. Tagging but as always no pressure @thisonelikesaliens @incandescentflower @mikuni14 @negrowhat @tanrak @abstractelysium @nonglukest @byemambo @bluesandfilms @mewsthumbring @troubled-mind @wanderlust-in-my-soul and if you see this and want to play consider yourself tagged here ➡️@ 💜

And oh

Oh my god my heart

I think there's something to be said about watching shows at the right time. Idk there was something very special/magical about it being January and there's snow outside and I was sitting in the dark, sick, bundled up in blankets but my nose and fingers exposed to the cold air, and watching this show in particular.

I don't know how Japan does it but this show is so chilly and so cozy at the same time. It's cold and grey and stark and there's so much awkward silence. The interiors feel old and creaky, yet also lived-in and inviting. I feel like the whole atmosphere beautifully captured the tension of intimacy and distance between the two characters.

I don't love amnesia tropes, I don't love lying/miscommunication tropes, I don't love second chance romance.

But I did really really love this show.

I liked the messy darkness of this show, how every scene is weighed down by all the things they haven't said to each other. Fumiya is always lurking in doorways, in shadow. His inability to communicate makes him almost creepy. His dark clothes almost seem to choke him, like he's being swallowed up by his worst qualities.

Rathering than smothering him, Ritsu's layers of clothing seem to have a swaddling effect. He's bundled up in light/warm cozy layers, as impervious to the cold as he is ignorant to the truth and oblivious to the hurt his own carelessness caused.

The headphones/apology scene was sooooooo ahhhhhhh! The lights are on, but Fumiya refuses to step into them. Ritsu is bathed in warmth and completely tuned out of the anguish happening behind him.
