“At a Distance, Spring is Green” is a K-drama that holds a special place in my heart. I think the way it portrayed youth—with its shadows and lights—was beautiful, it felt like such an introspective drama that made me feel something not quite nostalgic, but a sense of understanding and made me think of youth. I think a lot of lessons can be taken from this drama, there is a lot to learn from the characters and their philosophies and ideologies, and their growth.
I know that almost everything that everyone has been talking about when it comes to this K-Drama is the fact that it’s the most BL not-BL drama ever, or how it should be a BL. But, as for me, I don’t really care that it isn’t a BL and I’m a huge fujoshi. I admit, I think that adding an LGBT plotline to it can add a lot more, there is a lot to explore in an LGBT plotline especially being in a conservative country like Korea and having Yeo Jun’s circumstances. But, “At a Distance, Spring is Green” is more than that.
It’s a story about falling in love, about being young, about learning to let go, about friendships, about family, about the light at the end of the tunnel, about the darkness in each of us, about forgiveness, about moving on, about finding happiness, about life circumstances. It’s not just about romance. It is inherently more than that. Honestly, it’s very underrated and I hope more people can watch it and enjoy the nuances of it and the messages that each character can dish out.
I think the team did such a fantastic job at portraying youth. And a lot of the dialogues have made me think about things.
So, hopefully, people start watching it.

How’d I go from “It trickled down his side like thin, glistening sauce trickling down the side of steak, collecting under the squishy flesh” to “he holds out for the one who made him this foolishly sanguine, even as they carve out his heart from its vermeil abode”?
I think "The Console" episode from The Amazing World of Gumball is my favourite solely because of how cool it is. And the boss' design is fabulous
Question for writers: what made you guys start writing?
Some days I don’t want to exist. I’m not suicidal, but I really just want to be not here anymore.
I ship Sneglus (Severus Snape x Regulus Black). And I wonder if someone ever asked Regulus "why?". Why does he continue to chase and pine over a man whose heart was given to someone else already? And I wonder if Regulus ever answered with an "I don't know either". And if he ever said "some things are just never meant to happen or last. No matter how much we long for it to."
And I wonder if, in another universe, Severus has obsessed with the idea of Lily being his only and true love when his heart began to beat for someone else.
If things would be so much different in a universe different from the one we happened upon where Severus loved another as truly as he loved Lily and Regulus lived.
Albedo: Does this make us...non-existent?
Kunikuzushi: Are we even real?
Albedo: Are all our thoughts controlled?
Kunikuzushi: Do we actually feel? What are emotions? What are feelings?
Albedo: Do we not have free will? Are we puppets with invisible strings?
Kunikuzushi: What does it mean to be human? What distance us from humans and gods?
Albedo: What are we?
Kunikuzushi: What is our purpose?
Albedo: Do we even exist?
Both: *existential crisis*
I really want Chris Zylka's Flash Thompson to become Agent Venom :(
I love Tony Revolori's Flash Thompson but TASM's Flash Thompson had huge potential. MCU's Flash Thompson has a sad subplot which I hope they'll tackle more. I'm excited to see what direction they take MCU's Flash in. I love TASM's darker atmosphere so it was great to see. I wish they didn't delete the graduation scene with Gwen, Flash, and Peter and I hope they tackled Flash and Peter's blooming friendship, too.
something silly
fun fact: i was super underleveled for this boss fight, i could not keep kel alive lmao
