may/june scrapbook

[latespring]

Changing the format of these to be more highlights and less comprehensive!

Anyway, things these past two months have been kind of a lot. Here's a few things I've been reading and watching.



Highlights from May and June's playlists.

May:
Je ne sais pas by Lous and The Yakuza, Sfera Ebbasta, Shablo

White Ferrari by Frank Ocean

Dive Into You by NCT DREAM

June:
The Dip by Ziúr

Mr. Bass by A.C.E.

The King by Sarah Kinsley

Guardian
Objectively I would not recommend this drama to anyone unless they like the tropes it has. The pacing is a mess and the character arcs don't make sense. Yes, I'm doing a rewatch.

Kingdom: Legendary War
Also would not recommend this, but I did watch all of it?

Even More TBZ
My favorite has probably been this video. A BOYLOG: Q Cam moment can be so fun. Thread of interviews from the BYOK interviews too.

Chuang 2021
I have no idea what happened, but I definitely did watch all like 30+ hours of this over the span of a week or two. What can I tell you, it's compelling, and I watched it with friends.

I've been thinking about this poem recently. I liked it on first read, but on the second and third, I don't know. It's stuck with me.

I started using last.fm for the first time during June, so here's a breakdown of my stats from that.

I have no idea what I've read these past two month? Mostly textbooks? I had a hard time filling this part out.


Tender Prey by popliar (littlerhymes)

(M, Lee Jaehyun | Hyunjae/Lee Juyeon/Son Youngjae | Eric, The Boyz

Summary: Eric wakes up naked in the woods.

Maybe he had a really big night. Or maybe he's a werewolf.)

"I don't really remember what happened last night," Eric admits after a moment. He's suddenly struck by the fear that he did fuck this guy and has totally forgotten about it. Did they have wild horny sex in the woods? It seems unlikely but... "Did we by any chance, uh, did we -"

Jaehyun does laugh out loud this time, though not in a mean way. He seems to think the whole idea is very funny.

"Look, I was just asking!" Eric says, mortified.

We Just Go Hard by misspamela

(T, Ju Haknyeon/Lee Sangyeon, The Boyz

Summary: There is a sit-up contest and then there is kissing.)

"What," Sangyeon says. "Wait. Who is kissing who."

"Loser has to kiss the winner," Sunwoo says, just as Younghoon says happily, "Winner gets to kiss the loser."

"I like that second one," Haknyeon says, grinning. "What do you think, hyung? A kiss for every...let's say five sit-ups?"

I Never Knew I Loved Dean Rader by Dean Rader
Someday I’ll love my body, itself a form of silence,
which is not the same as being quiet,
even though we are sentenced to this language with its strange letters,

The Birthday Interviews by Derrick Austin

It’s Important I Remember that the Moral Arc of the Universe Bends— by Cortney Lamar Charleston

Bandwidth by Destiny O. Birdsong
Ms. Birdsong I am calling about your past due
Ms. Birdsong do you really have a Ph.—
Destiny what a beautiful first

Vanishing by Brittney Corrigan

Grandpa by Diana Marie Delgado

from “Đổi Mới” by Diana Khoi Nguyen
Sound: a body's way of making itself known. Silence: a way of knowing.

*The Vault by Andrés Cerpa
This is a little psalm
in the moon-

struck snow.
Thank you,

for I haven’t been
patient as promised.

Looking for the Beautiful Things by Joy Priest
I live in Texas now. & in the next lane over on I-10
BIG JEFF is soaring at twin-speed toward the dusk-pending horizon

& something base & graceful has taken us over

Muscular Fantasy by Terrance Hayes
With all
the people who clap when some mostly

vengeful violence happens in the movie,
those who do not clap may feel no other people
are not clapping. I hear you.
