"you love me?"
"it's the only thing i've ever felt."

Priest
★★★ Watched

it would be incredibly reductive to talk about how good-looking the priest in priest is, especially with the heavy themes it tackles. it would be in really, really poor taste if i pointed out his perfectly coiffed, silky hair or his wonderful posture or his excellent taste in cardigans. honestly, if someone brought up his soulful eyes, it would be quite insensitive. we should probably talk about the ending where he asks for forgiveness instead. but alas

The Untamed
Liked Rewatched

trying to explain the untamed is impossible. episode one is borderline unwatchable. it's unbelievably bad. by episode five you're ready to lay down your life for wei wuxian. the cgi is worse than something from the '90s. it's both an emotional romantic drama about war and morality... and an episode of buzzfeed unsolved but with a gaggle of adopted teens. it's childhood trauma. it's love. it's manipulation tactics. it's a spectacular collection of thirty-inch lace fronts. it's a masterwork in character writing. good luck thinking about anything else ever again
