I&#8217;ve never been great at journal\/blogging but I&#8217;ll give it a go to give you a peek into what I&#8217;m doing when I&#8217;m not working on the site and my thoughts on what series I pick to do pages on.  Like right now instead of working on pages for the avalanche of titles coming in April or updating this week&#8217;s episodes, I&#8217;m doing this.  Is it a great idea?  No probably not because I still haven&#8217;t found a balance between watching BL and working on these various projects and yet I&#8217;ve added another project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I kind of fell into doing this as an extension of posting on Reddit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/boyslove\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">r\/boyslove <\/a>and my <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1ERgAiyjShFfepJHnViLDYwviUtfZkJkhQeWzykO7jTg\/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">spreadsheet<\/a> of where to watch shows.   MDL has a lot of great info and World of BL is great for finding where to watch shows but none of them were tracking socials, music, source material, or physical releases.  While I could care less about socials, to be honest, I do often track down the rest of the info on shows I like.  I&#8217;m still tweaking things and figuring out the easiest and best way to do things, so there is still inconsistency in the website but I think I&#8217;ve gotten most things figured out.  I didn&#8217;t expect that each page would be a time sink of 4+ hours but, I&#8217;m slowly finding some shortcuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve also taken on yet another side project over at <a href=\"https:\/\/bl-extras.dreamwidth.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">https:\/\/bl-extras.dreamwidth.org<\/a> separate from this one.  While this is the legit up-and-up site, that one is more of the gray area one.  Although the past couple of weeks I&#8217;ve been slowly getting things set up there as well. I&#8217;m hoping to tempt a few fansubbers with the boxset extras or one of the unsubbed movies I have \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for BL I just finished<a href=\"https:\/\/bldramas.com\/index.php\/2024\/03\/29\/please-teach-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> Please Teach Me<\/a>.  I&#8217;m not a KBL groupy they tend to be a hit or miss with me but this one was a hit.  It is absolutely criminal what they have done with it dividing it up into 64 parts.  I get the short form format but this isn&#8217;t that.  Each episode isn&#8217;t its own thing it is a movie cut up into parts to sell to people so they won&#8217;t know how much they are spending to watch it.  I don&#8217;t mind paying the money but I very much mind the break minute for a new episode it puts me out of the show and irritates me to no end.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I won&#8217;t talk much about it since most people haven&#8217;t gotten a chance to watch it all.  It is cute and sweet but has a darker turn and a twist towards the end that I really liked.  I recommend people go watch it.  I&#8217;m not a fan of the video aspect it is shot in and the way it is divided but the story and actors made me forget about that compely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking of adding a buying guide to the site on physical release with English subtitles at some point as well.  But first I need to get all the new series pages done and finish off Blueming&#8217;s page that I&#8217;ve started but haven&#8217;t finished yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-essential-blocks-feature-list\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-feature-list-v8cvq \"><div class=\"eb-feature-list-v8cvq eb-feature-list-wrapper -icon-position-left -tablet-icon-position-left -mobile-icon-position-left eb-feature-list-left\"><ul class=\"eb-feature-list-items circle stacked\"><li class=\"eb-feature-list-item\" data-new-tab=\"false\" data-icon-type=\"none\" data-icon=\"fas fa-check\" data-icon-color=\"\" data-link=\"\"><div class=\"eb-feature-list-content-box\"><h3 class=\"eb-feature-list-title\">Mood<\/h3><p class=\"eb-feature-list-content\">Tired<\/p><\/div><\/li><li class=\"eb-feature-list-item\" data-new-tab=\"false\" data-icon-type=\"none\" data-icon=\"fas fa-times\" data-icon-color=\"\" data-link=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/6jy7ZZFpfHsx9gUncP6W15?si=b37a0ea87aa1419e\"><div class=\"eb-feature-list-content-box\"><h3 class=\"eb-feature-list-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/6jy7ZZFpfHsx9gUncP6W15?si=b37a0ea87aa1419e\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Music<\/a><\/h3><p class=\"eb-feature-list-content\">\u30a2\u30d7\u30c7\u30e9\u30a4\u30d5 by FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE from Ossan no Pants ga Nandatte Ii Janai ka! series<\/p><\/div><\/li><li class=\"eb-feature-list-item\" data-new-tab=\"false\" data-icon-type=\"none\" data-icon=\"fas fa-anchor\" data-icon-color=\"\" data-link=\"\"><div class=\"eb-feature-list-content-box\"><h3 class=\"eb-feature-list-title\">Location<\/h3><p class=\"eb-feature-list-content\">Lounging in bed<\/p><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, let&#8217;s start it simple.
