Weekly Chat

The weekly chat posts are intended for just that, chatting among each other. What are you currently watching? Reading? What actor/idol are you currently following? What are you looking forward to? Are you busy writing, creating art? Or did you have no time at all for anything, and are bemoaning that fact?

Whatever it is, talk to us about it here. Tell us what you liked or didn't like, and if you want to talk about spoilery things, please hide them under either of these codes:

Quick Rec Wednesday

Rec time! Did you read/watch/listen to something you really liked and would love other people to know about, too? Don't have the time or energy to make a full promo post, or think such a small thing doesn't merit a separate entry?

Here's your chance to share with the class! Just drop a comment with a link and maybe a couple of words in description. No need to overthink things, it can be as simple as Loved this! or OMG, look at that!. (You don't need to keep it short, though, write as much as you want.)

Check out the previous entries, too!

Theme from “The Singing Killer” (1970), by Roman Tam (as half-heartedly lip-synced by David Chiang.)

Watch on YouTube

Lyrics, as translated in the subtitles:

SCREAMING FANS: Bravo, Johnny!)

JOHNNY: I’m the singing killer
The singing killer is none other than me
When it comes to fighting and daring acts
Don’t belittle me
I’m the singing killer
Fist is a fist
Knife is a knife
Kung fu, judo, and karate
I specialise in all
If you dare,
Come and try me

The singing killer is me
I’m the singing killer
I dare to love, dare to hate
And most daring of acts
Don’t belittle me
I’m the singing killer
Pretty girls are pretty girls
Gold is gold
Girls and gold, though they’re fine
These in no way can compromise my heroism
If you dare,
Come and try

SCREAMING FANS: Johnny!

Liu Yu's live performance of "The Witty Gallant's Playful Matchmaking"

I recently watched this gorgeous C-pop performance.

Watch on YouTube

He's so charmingly expressive. Someone in the comments said 'elegance of a noble with the playfulness of a youth' and that's absolute BARS.

Topic Tuesday - Your Highlight(s) of the Year

Welcome to Topic Tuesday! Right away I want to stress that discussion posts are always welcome to the community, you don't have to wait until a Topic Tuesday rolls around, and then maybe be disappointed by the current topic of discussion. Whenever you want to talk about something, please simply make a separate entry to this comm, no matter the week, the time, or the topic. All right? *g*

Today's topic is Your Highlight(s) of the Year. 2025 is almost over, so let's take a moment to look back. What were your highlights of the year? Which drama/movie/novel was your favourite, or made the year memorable for you? Did you fall in love with a new actor or singer? Or find a new song/piece of music that seems stuck in your head on an endless loop? Go into detail as much or as little as you like, and leave links if you want.

As usual, if you want to talk about spoilers, please use one of these codes to hide them.
