Bed!cat has started to keep me company while I'm gaming. A little too close to the screen sometimes, but it's super cute! #Caturday #PetPics

I love that both of them got to play both Wu Xie and Wu Laogou! I'm very much enjoying that the #DMBJ dramas are keeping it in the family as much as possible. 😁 #cdrama #AdventureBehindTheBronzeDoor #MysticNine #TheMysticNine #UltimateNote #ZengShunxi #ZhangLuyi

Just because I'm currently thinking about him a lot... #YangYang

I've been watching several people stream #MoonlightPeaks now, and all of them had different portraits drawn by Brook. Now I want to know, how many different versions are there? This is the one I got, please show me yours?

I don't have any highlight clips, but the best moments in this outfit were in the first (four?) episode(s), I believe. It might be still on Viki, too. But here's a teaser:

No, not Hahn im Hunsrück, but Taunusstein-Hahn, about 10km away from Wiesbaden. The Thunderstorm has moved away, the sun is back out in full force. I tried taking a pic, but it didn't turn out that well.

Ouch, yeah. Checked the app again, and today's numbers look pretty much like yours, worse than yesterday. Especially towards the middle/end of the week. 🥵 Currently it's pouring down heavily again. ⛈️⛈️⛈️

Didn't notice that I could change colours for the cardigan! So this is the even better version - it's rare that I find matching hair or clothes in those things, so this was a nice surprise. 😀

Oh, there were so many great movies coming out that year! The one that impressed me the most (and made me buy my first every OST) was The Shadow. (Although Stargate was a really close second. 😁)

This is the current view from my balcony. Quite the surprise, and a lot more snow than usual for this time of year in this part of Hessen.

Fierce and independent, hot and cold in her affections, playing with her prey, sleeping often and everywhere and doing the big stretch even in human form. I loved her so much!

#EYDC2025 - Day 15: Favourite drama poster of 2025. Oh, that one absolutely goes to #cdrama #TheVendettaOfAn! So many gorgeous drama posters, I saved about ten of them! Now to decide which ones to show you here...

Promotional poster for cdrama The Vendetta of An. The colour palette is mostly red and black. In the front left and right, bathed in shadows, are two older men with long beards and fierce expressions on their faces, seemingly facing off against each other. Cheng Yi's character is in the middle, but slightly in the distance, looking over his shoulder back at them. His face is firmly lit. In the background there's a city map, torn and burning.

Cheng Yi's character is on his own in the middle of the image, sitting in front of a Go board. Behind him are 15+ panels depicting other notable characters from the drama. It gives the impression that he's the mastermind and they are his chess pieces.

#EYDC2025 - Day 8: Standout secondary character 2025 That one goes to Liu Taizhen, played by #WangJiayi, Snake Lord of #cdrama #MoonlitReunion. Under her often cold and stoic facade, there are deeply hidden feelings. Pain, regret, fear... despite all that, she's fierce and loyal.
