you can call me nickel! i am also snickettes on AO3 and persnickettes on tumblr.

I am here for Wang Yibo and Wang Yibo leading me around by the nose into fandoms. Yizhan-flavored.

i am loling that the CCTV is just like "feel the beauty of spring through Wang Yibo's singing!" and the songs are just:
- CHINA'S POLICE FORCE IS THE BEST POLICE FORCE
- YOU SHOULD DO AEROBICS
- BEING A PERSON WITH AN IDENTITY CREATES ENDLESS EXISTENTIAL ANGST
- CALL YOUR MOM
i'm starting to get to the point where any book, any book at all, that titles its chapters by which character's pov the chapter is in = automatic rejection for me. I'm just so frustrated by that style of storytelling. It is SO clunky to announce to me during the story that you're shifting pov.

I do think the Times having to print on the front page the words "Trump blowing Bubba" would almost be karmic retribution for all the wrongs it has perpetrated over the last decade

PSA:
If you're interested in the 10DANCE movie, but haven't read the manga & don't really want to buy them bc you're unsure, you can read the all 7 volumes via renta.
Just a suggestion for ppl who are financially able to do so.
Tysm 🙏🏽

i have read a zillion forgettable books this year, and i was just completely unprepared for this little book i thought would be straightforward haunted house horror to actually be a gripping, masterful, harrowing, clever, sensitive, low-key devastating exploration of IPV, trauma, and coping skills

1/ For everyone who is excited about #10Dance, but isn't familiar with the source material, it's an on-going BL manga by Inoue Satoh.
It was serialized in Reijin Hyper Boy's Magazine around 2011 before ending up under Kodansha & currently is published online at YanMaga.com

i should clarify the things making this a good day:
- support from friends including all of you <3
- possible chance to actually get hired for a job i actually want to do?
- everyone salivating over hot live-action yaoi strictly ballroom
- secret fourth journalist thing that's PRETTY WILD AND COOL.
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY i'm so surprised like i think i'm genuinely surprised

it feels on a small scale like how it felt when i did a job interview at the NYT, and afterwards I felt literally dazed, unable to comprehend that had happened, and above all unable to fathom how HAPPY i felt about things

guys cross your fingers for me, my very very most favorite true crime podcast that i've been listening to since 2017 just put out a call for a FULL-TIME WRITER, and they want someone with experience writing long-form narrative and true crime who's familiar with their style, that's meeeeee 🙏

Netflix has clearly gone all in on Machida Keita but also this is 100000% me bait and I can already barely handle it
I swear Machida Keita is turning into the Daniel Day Lewis of Japanese media, he loves to do intense physical prep and learn a new skill, and wow 10Dance looks even better than I hoped ❤️❤️❤️

What is it with people ghosting me for years and in some cases decades and then popping up again like "hey bud" like no time has passed at all, or worse yet, not even actually messaging me but interacting with my STUFF (like my fic or my writing) in some way where I can see that it's them, but not—

I frequently use my computer's built-in "read-aloud" feature for e-books, which features mainly voices from Google's text-to-speech feature. And I am constantly amazed at how poorly it does at, for ex, always pronouncing "read" in the wrong tense, or bafflingly always assuming "sake" is the wine. ++

things my phone thinks this character is:
a, d, &, g, L, T, A

things my phone absolutely does not think this character is: an uppercase "i"

I've been having trouble trying to visualize a character whose energy is simultaneously peak femme bishounen but also peak harsh militant old-school teacher-with-a-ruler energy, and then my brain went "oh you mean AC from SDC" and suddenly my life got so much simpler

earlier today I read a (terrible) porn fic where a fully gender-swapped female character was described as having a prostate, and folks I knew we would reach the era of kids getting their sex ed entirely from AO3 and this is clearly the result

I resent the expectation to write a yuletide letter and I always think a little more fondly of people who just put all their details in the signups, as the gods intended 😌
