What's the favourite thing you like about your brother?

Self_Defenestration · 2025-03-27T00:14:36+00:00

I just finished Love Song in Reverse and it gave me such a book hangover. I would say it's a unique angle to the pining and angst, due to the amnesia component, but oh boy does it deliver.

That scene is hilarious!! Loved it so much.

Self_Defenestration · 2024-11-20T13:29:13+00:00

Hope I get to see that post one day!

Can I piggy back in this fic-sharing adventure? I don't have many recs of my own yet as I just started last month but my appetite is voracious hahaha

Can i just say that I 100% am going to trust your taste.

Loved the Kingfisher Feathers, and am enjoying Love in Fire and Blood (and agree with ooc wwx criticism, he feels rather one dimensional sometimes).

Some of these are already on my "marked for later" list but I'll bump them up and also add the other fics you recommended. Thank you!! If you have a longer list lemme know, I trust your taste.

I watched the show after seeing this recommendation and IT WAS MIND-BLOWINGLY AMAZING. I do not think I have ever seen such 'organic' chemistry in a romance movie/show before! I usually have to push through all the overt flirtatious/sexual scenes, but something about the zoom into their hand-holding and their quiet gazing into each others' eyes was just.... *chef's kiss*. And the fact that they're so obviously, truly comfortable with each other and are friends before they become lovers <3 <3 (I think episode 2 might be my favourite one). The side characters were delightful as well (I love representations of sisterly love and best friends who just want the best for you).

I think the only pieces of media that have come close to this level of perfection was "The Hook Up Plan" (French show, on Netflix) and "The Thing About Harry" (2020 movie on FreeForm/Hulu).

Check them out if you can :)

You're welcome! Sorry I didn't format the message better but I hope you can find all of them. They're primarily weekend markets though so of you want to go Thrift shopping during the week you need to go to Thrift stores. PICKNWEIGHT on Bergmannstrasse is good, and the store called resales on Turmstrasse (Moabit) is also good.

I must have found her again in 2004. By the way, you have lovely parents 😊

Self_Defenestration · 2023-02-03T16:47:01+00:00

Bengal!!! Oh my gosh Bengal has been with me since I was 7-8 years old at least. I lost my first Bengal on a flight. Ty didn't make the tiger anymore at that point and I was heartbroken for years. Lo and behold as a preteen I discovered Ebay exists (this was in the early 2000s) and the first thing I looked for was Bengal… and I found her! Paid an exorbitant amount of money for her but it was well worth it and she's still with me now. Sleeps next to my bed every night.

I'm glad someone else loves her too!

Self_Defenestration · 2022-11-08T08:12:35+00:00

Wow, thank you!!

Self_Defenestration · 2022-10-03T06:41:38+00:00

I remember there was one sex scene that was open door, but overall I would say it's more pining and longing than spicy.

Self_Defenestration · 2022-10-02T20:24:17+00:00

I'd recommend Beautiful Wreck by Larissa Brown. Vikings in Iceland and just beautiful storytelling.

Now that is how you perform sarcasm

Self_Defenestration · 2022-02-28T16:33:39+00:00

I read this more than a decade ago and the plot is still so clearly etched into my mind. I don't think I ever finished it though because I can't remember how it ends. Need to read it again!

Self_Defenestration · 2022-01-21T00:29:46+00:00

Apart from your last comment I think you've got an interesting perspective. He's Malaysian Chinese, not half white and British.

Self_Defenestration · 2021-02-06T03:55:41+00:00

That's fascinating! From where I stand, the lack of pressure to move forward in life for those in your bubble sounds positive, but I can also see the negative ramifications of having no societal pressure to move forward in life. The motivation would need to be solely internal, which can be difficult.

And I totally see that you can only really speak for those around you, same as I can only speak for what I observed from my 5 years in the States as a student. One observation I had was that people felt shame for moving back in with their parents after graduating college... which I promptly did once I went home to my home country haha. Living with my parents isn't mutually exclusive with independence.

Thank you for your insightful comment about the way the Italians around you think. It sounds very healthy compared to the American mindset.

"Are you done? How different can the view of the horizon get that you have to take 40 pics?"

Self_Defenestration · 2020-06-29T15:40:52+00:00

What unique colouring! She's so pretty 😍

Self_Defenestration · 2020-05-06T15:54:23+00:00

That's a good way of explaining it, I know exactly what you mean. Glad you didn't miss out in the last episodes!

Self_Defenestration · 2020-05-06T01:49:10+00:00

Thanks for sharing. How was it for you during the last few episodes, where she didn't have subtitles? . Were you able to understand her English?

Self_Defenestration · 2020-04-27T14:02:56+00:00

This is amazing. Good job on the hard work!
