Is there any point in sending a question about a request for a potential update?

Since there's now a way to mute/block authors I was wondering if they'd ever implement the same thing, but with specific fics since I don't necessarily want to block any authors - but there are definitely unfinished/constantly 'updating' fics that I would happily block if it was an option.

I don't understand what you're asking. The question and your second paragraph don't seem related? But I also haven't slept much in the past 48hrs so my brain isn't fully cooked.

I have no idea if AO3 lets you do that, because I have an extension with a blacklist on it, and I just mark those fic in there.

Are you asking if there’s any point to you suggesting/requesting a new archive feature?

Yeah.

You can always ask, but it's way easier to just use a skin to block stuff. Why wait?

Loving that no. 3 & 4 are representing the “looks like a penis head” demographic.

I can't sleep so I decided to scroll through news headlines to see what's up. So now I can't sleep and I'm depressed and stressed about the state of the world. In summary, I am occasionally an idiot.

What dumb decisions have you made lately?

Trying to forcibly remove the tip from a solder sucker before remembering how it comes apart. Result: one destroyed tip, and due to the weird way the world works replacing it is about as much as buying a entirely new solder sucker (despite my efforts to try and KEEP things out of landfills!).

[I have decided I might as well upgrade so I got a new, high-quality solder sucker. With extra tips just to be sure.]

What is a solder sucker?

Please give me some recs. I haven't been able to find anything good to watch recently. I like Healer and Nirvana on Fire. The most recent tv series that I almost finished is The Fiery Priest that came out 5 years ago, and even that I kinda skipped near the end. I'm dying for new things to watch. Help me out. I'm not a fan of Untamed, both book and series, I'm more of a Scum System fan.

Well, as you probably already know, there's not much that's on Nirvana in Fire's level, unfortunately. I liked The Untamed, but haven't read Scum System, so I'm not sure what to rec you.

Friendship/bromance, some wuxia:

Mysterious Lotus Casebook (with solving of mysteries)
Blood of Youth (with some political stuff in the royal court)

Imperial Coroner - female coroner teams up with prince and his friends to solve murders in a CSI-style approach, some political intrigue, some romance
In Blossom - woman narrowly evades death disguised as her rival to solve her own murder, romance and political plotting

Journey to Love - rival spy/assassins have to join forces to protect a princess (disguised as a prince) and rescue her brother the emperor, romance and bromance, angst and character death towards the end

The Starry Love - xianxia with some comedy,two sisters with opposite personalities end up in arranged marriage to the wrong guys
Wrong Carriage, Right Groom - two ladies end up married to the wrong guys again, romance and comedy

My Boss - fluffy, silly contrived roommates situation with romance, friendships and happy ending

Thank you!

Guardian (based on a novel by Priest) - university professor and urban fantasy detective solve cases involving "aliens" together (it's really just ghosts and spirits but eh censorship) and the professor has a big dark secret and a big fat crush on the detective.
full disclosure it's all a bit over the top and they keep losing the plot quite a few times but Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan own my entire heart with their big dramatic gestures and making doe eyes at each other all the time :)
it is sort of available on youtube (some episodes got taken down from the official channel) or in the... usual places

I love Guardian. The only problem is their budget cuts but it's worth it for the bromance bits and ambience. I doubt there will be more tv series like this from CN due to stricter media rules.

Taxi Driver - Korean drama about a team of vigilantes out for justice.

Inspector Koo - former cop turned insurance investigator who ends up hunting down a killer. It has some dark moments, but not too gritty or grim.

Thank you. I dropped Taxi Driver early on. I haven't heard about Inspector Koo.

I personally didn't like it because the casting differed too much from what I had in my head while reading the novel but I know a lot of people who really love The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty. It's basically a Wuxia Whodunit mystery solving plot with bromance (based on a BL novel), found family and plenty of food porn.

Thank you.
I tried it a few years ago. Didn't like any of the characters for some reason.

I liked it, but then I hadn't read the novel so that probably helped. It sounded like a lot of the (totally legit) issues people had with the adaptation is that it changed a lot of stuff from the novel, and that's fair. I do think it could've been a better series in general, but I enjoyed it, especially the eunuch character.

Probably going to mention it again in the next post - BUT WICKED IS GETTING A MOVIE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I'm excited and might have cried a little watching it lol. I've been waiting so long for this movie XD XD XD

I already watched the trailer some time back and I gotta say, not feeling that last note. It sounds... rough but not in a good way. Everything else looks alright but I really hope they don't mess up the music.

I was feeling cynical and unenthusiastic about this one. Does it really need to be TWO movies?

Then I saw that trailer and cried. Yeah, I'm gonna watch the hell out of this.
