I started to learn Chinese!!! I have been thinking about it for a while and two weeks ago I signed up for the course organized by a local university. I had my first lesson on Friday and it was great. The group is small – just 7 people, and the teacher is nice and competent. I’m very excited about it. :)
I finally got VIKI Standard Pass. Mostly because of Because Of You 2020. The new episodes are available right away only for people with Standard Pass. The rest has to wait two weeks. I decided that I was too impatient for waiting, so I have the account now and I can watch what I want with no commercials. It’s nice.
My 3rd MODC fic is almost finished, it just needs the last scene. It’s a super self-indulgent iddy PWP and it was fun to write. And I wrote 700 words of the 4th MODC fic this week.
And now the week in watching:
Because Of You 2020 - episodes 3 and 4
Still so much fun. But poor Lin Xun – he gets kidnapped and manhandled a lot by some maniac that keeps insisting that Lin Xun is his brother. :) Both secondary couples have a few cute moments, too. And yes, I was wrong and they are definitely not established couples yet.
The Untamed – episodes 1, 2 and 3
The first two episodes were rather meh, the 3rd one was a bit more interesting. My main problem is that I don’t like Wei Wuxian. It’s not a big problem. I watched and liked show before when I didn’t care for the main character, but then I liked a lot of other things in such shows. Here ehhhh... I don’t really care for anyone yet. Lan Sizhui is a sweetheart, but that’s it.
Well, ok, Lan Zhan is fine, too, I guess. I usually prefer seemingly calm, repressed characters to immature, bratty ones. And, on the more shallow level, I find Wang Yibo so much prettier than Xiao Zhan. :) So knowing myself, if I will continue watching Lan Zhan will probably become my favorite character. But also knowing my fannish fascinations lately I will probably also fall in love with some secondary pairing. And what will I do then in a fandom so focused only on the main one? ;)
Gentefied – a new Netflix show about Mexican American family in Los Angeles’ Boyle Heights neighborhood. I watched the first episode and I like it a lot. It’s charming and warm and funny, even when it deals with very serious issues. This is a good review on IndieWire about it.

Oooh, they're not? Okay, then! This increases my motivation to continue it.
