Various, 2019-2020

MyAnimeList

Summary: Broken engagements, karma, condemnation events, doting, royalty, reincarnated heroines, banishment endings... it's fully loaded with all the charms of villainesses!! The comic adaption of 5 popular villainess stories that were published on syosetu! An anthology of oneshots with happy endings!!

My comments:

Volume 1

The Villainess Will Obtain True Love: People said to skip this one but I'm dumb so I didn't. I would've dropped the prince like a hot potato the second he accused me without evidence but then finding out he was testing me the whole time would've earned a slap and dumping off the unneeded baggage of someone who would do that. He also used a third party for his ends and made her believe he loved her. 0/5 stars

The Tale of the Noble Girl Who Will Go to a Convent After Her Engagement's Breaking: This one was fun, I liked that it ended up about about sisters over romance. 5/5 stars

I Will Definitely Get My Engagement Broken! ~I Will Become a Villainess!: She tries bullying someone to look like a villainess but it backfires on her and she underestimates the prince. The twist wasn't too surprising but it was fun when it all came out. 4/5 stars

Let's Walk the Flowery Path of Evil Together: Reincarnated girl forced to get married to the prime minister after bullying the heroine,. Turns out she's into older, bigger men. Very unconventional! 4/5 stars

The Villainess Trifles with the Second Prince's First Love: The usual false accusations and ruination, but in this one the 2nd prince pops in and saves her. 3/5 stars

Volume 2

It's Been 10 Years Since You Asked to Break off Our Engagement, If You Insist That Much, Let's Break It off!: I liked the twist reason why the prince really asked to break off the engagement and the sweet ending. 4/5 stars

The Villainess Laughs Innocently: Same setup as [The Villainess Trifles...] but the villainess talks her way out of it and then gets to marry higher up. Cutthroat badass villainess. 3.5/5 stars

The Art of Rebuilding a Nation Begins With a Broken Engagement!: Even though it started like the cliche, it became unique and I enjoyed it! Also, the yearning. 👀 5/5 stars

You Were Set up, You Know?: Typical setup but the king doesn't let it fly, he knows the villainess well and sides with her immediately. There's a sister who's a siscon as well. Totally ship Alexandra and Maria. 5/5 stars

The Villainess Exploded: Reincarnated into an otome game. I quite liked the MC in this one and the twist. She really did explode. 4.5/5 stars

I Reincarnated as a Villainess. Come Quickly, My Engagement-Breaking Event: I thought it was a little repetitive but liked how it went deeper into the politics. It didn't have what I consider a real ending but everything was set up for you to imagine it yourself. Filo was a yandere and I love that she was all for it. 4.5/5 stars

This month is almost over, so, let's hear it. *g* How did it go with your fannish creativity?

Did you manage to make a thing?

Created fanart or made vids? Wrote fic or meta? How about picspams, link collections, character mood boards, themed playlists, promo posts, or whatever else you create for fannish enjoyment?

Here's the place to share it with us! Leave a link in the comments, or elaborate on it as much as you want.

I've expanded the Robert/Trevor ficlet I wrote as part of The Robert/Everyone Agenda into a longer fic! I'll post it below as two chapters; chapter one is the original ficlet, so you can skip it if you've read that already.

Title: In Position
Fandom: The Goes Wrong Show
Rating: 15
Pairing: Robert/Trevor
Wordcount: 3,000 (approximately 1,000 words for chapter one and 2,000 for chapter two)
Summary: Robert stands from the table, clearing his throat. “I should not have been intoxicated on set. It was embarrassing behaviour, and I owe all of you an apology, except Trevor.”
Notes: Light BDSM elements.

( In Position, chapter one. )

( In Position, chapter two. )

A live-action drama based on Taiwanese baihe novel Her Lips, Her Kisses (她的唇，她的吻, pinyin: ta de chun, ta de wen) by Xi Cheng (希澄) has started filming as of 25 April. This will be released under the English title She and Hers (why is every recent baihe-related live-action thing called this, smh) and is planned to have 12 episodes of 30 minutes each.

The novel is centred on the fashion industry, and focuses on the relationship between industry rivals Wei Lan and Xiao Li-xuan. At least, Wei Lan believes they are rivals; she has no idea that Xiao Li-xuan has been nursing a secret crush on her. One of the leads will be played by Yuan Moyao, who has a supporting role in Fragrance of the First Flower. Further information (in Chinese) available here and here.

This is to my knowledge the first baihe novel to have been licensed for a live-action drama (i.e. a multi-episode production, which excludes When We Met). From what I gather, Xi Cheng is a pretty popular author on the Taiwanese scene. She publishes mainly on Popo (her profile here). She also has an Instagram account. Her Lips, Her Kisses has been published in print (though my usual purveyor isn't offering international shipping on it) and as an ebook that can be purchased through, as far as I know, Kobo and Google Play (just search the Chinese title).

Summary: “I... want to be friends with you, Matsumoto!”

In the present day where humans and werebeast are living in harmony, there is something that has been bothering Matsumoto, a Kishu weredog, who actually likes cats. It's about a male calico cat that kept appearing when he was feeding the cats near the school as part of his daily routine. And… there's also the fact that he finds Sasaki, a student from the same seminar, to be cute.

One day, he found out that Sasaki is a werecat as well as that calico cat. And from then on, he can cuddle and pet Sasaki’s cat form all he wants! But the more time they spend together, the more Matsumoto’s feelings for Sasaki go in a direction other than friendship...

This is a fluffy sweet werebeast love story between a quiet Kishu weredog who likes to take care of others and an honestly sweet werecat who start out as friends.

My comments: Weredog x werecat friends to lovers, it was so fluffy and sweet with minimal drama, would make a great palate cleanser. The scenes where they were in their animal forms are so cute and funny.

My rating: 7.5/10

Electric Daisy"

MyAnimeList

Summary: After orphan Kurebayashi Teru loses her beloved older brother, she finds solace in the messages she exchanges with DAISY, an enigmatic figure who can only be reached through the cell phone her brother left her. Meanwhile, mysterious Kurosaki Tasuku always seems to be around whenever Teru needs help… Could DAISY be a lot closer than Teru thinks?

One day at school, Teru accidentally breaks a window and agrees to pay for it by helping Kurosaki with chores around school. Kurosaki is an impossible taskmaster though, and he also seems to be hiding something important from Teru...

My comments: Teru is a fun female lead, she's kind, fun and straightforward. DAISY is a hacker who is watching from nearby, protecting Teru when he can in her brother's stead. The man behind the name is a jerk but also very kind when it comes down to it. The tender moments are really beautiful. In chapter 4 we start to see that the death of Teru's brother was unusual and that there are bad people looking for something.

Content warnings: Teacher/student relationship that goes south, bullying, kidnapping & attempted rape/blackmail, adult/teenager relationship

My rating: 9/10

I'm rereading The Beauty's Blade and thought I would make some informal read-along posts on the off-chance folks might be interested!

(my plan is to post an entry with threads for five chapters and a brief summary/blurb for them once a week or so)

[Previous]

Episode 8: Masato and Tokiya are teaming up for the last cross-unit. They already get along well so this seems like it should be easy. Oh, they're writing their own lyrics?

I wonder if people ship them? 🤔 Too similar for my tastes.

Lol Natsuki looks cute with the side ponytail.

😁

Lol I love how they don't argue when things aren't working like the others, they just troubleshoot. Tokiya's excitement at the waterfall idea was cute.

They realized they can't just focus on themselves because there's people around them supporting them, so they start over. I did like the lyrics they had before though.

It was a good song but it was very focused on Haruka instead of anything to do with themselves.

Episode 9: Interesting bits of jealousy from Otoya and Tokiya towards Reiji.

Reiji has a long history as an actor/idol huh.

Haruka wrote a solo song for him, I liked it! Then he fake(?) confessed his love to her lol

Episode 10: Nanami goes on a trip with QUARTET NIGHT to write their Triple S entry song. And they are annoying as ever. Before, they just sang whatever was put in front of them but now they have to come up with a song together and of course they all have their idea of what it should be.

I don't like how the subs say 'kiddo' when Reiji calls Nanami kouhai-chan.

I liked their one-on-one talks with Nanami.

Hmm the song they came up with isn't my favorite.

Current Mood: tired

We'll be holding this read-along on the baihe comm, starting 21 June. Please feel free to comment here if you are interested!

douqi posting in

baihe_media

The comm read-along for The Creator's Grace will start on Sunday 21 June!

Where to read: You are free to read either the Chinese version or the English translation published by Rosmei (I would recommend the Chinese version over the English if you have a choice of languages open to you). I'm taking the version currently available here on JJWXC as the 'definitive' reading version of the Chinese text for the purposes of this read-along.

How it works:We're going to read two chapters from the Rosmei version of the novel each week, and I will indicate which JJWXC chapters those correspond to. This will be around three to four chapters in Chinese, and 50 to 60 pages in English. I'm using the Rosmei edition as a baseline not because I particularly respect it, but because Rosmei has condensed the chapters in a way that doesn't preserve, indicate or even hint at the chapter breaks in the original. As an indicator, the first chapter from the Rosmei edition covers the first three chapters from the JJWXC original; the second chapter covers the fourth to seventh chapters. This can be adjusted if people find this level of commitment too high and would prefer a lower weekly cap on the amount of reading to be covered each week. I will put up a master post each week with a brief summary of the chapters covered. Posts will be members-locked to facilitate free discussion.

Please feel free to ask any questions/indicate your commitment in the comments below, and feel free to DM me if you would prefer not to comment publicly.

I saw both noxelementalist and blackcatofmisery doing this, so I figured that was a nice little poke.

When did you join Dreamwidth? 2015 on this account; technically it was 2014 but I did a bunch of musical chairs when sorting out accounts and turning some into communities
