I though people here might be interested in my post about crossdressing girls "Adventures with Crossdressing Sword Girls" where I talk about some of the crossdressing girl media I've been watching recently and a bit about why I like this trope so much. Not all the media I talk about is Chinese but a lot if it is! I'd love to hear more about everyone's favorite crossdressing girl media!

This April is another month with a bonus Wednesday, and it has kind of become tradition now to do a picspam and give us all an extra week of time to create stuff before I post the "Did You Make A Thing" entry. *g*

So, for this one I chose the topic Glasses. All kinds of eye glasses are welcome - regular ones, tinted ones, fake glasses, and sun glasses. Can be the actor/actress in a specific role, can be for a fashion shoot, or just their own regular prescription glasses. Goofy, sexy, or just plain adorable - show me your favourites rocking the eye wear!

As usual, click images to enlarge!

Just post your pics/GIFs out of context. Mentioning actor/character/drama is perfectly fine, but if you want to elaborate or discuss in the comments, please use one of the codes to hide potential spoilers.

(Crossposted from my journal.)

Out of 7 shows I was interested in checking out, 3 aren't licensed for streaming in the US. The buzz about Your Forma has been negative enough that I've lost interest in it, but I'd still like to have a look at Miru or The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei if I get the chance.

As for the others, plus one where the reactions on my favorite anime Discord server convinced me to give it a chance:

Apocalypse Hotel: After episode 1, I was amused, because the punchline was easy to guess but the exact form it took was not. After episode 2, I was clearing a spot for it on my Hugo balot next year. It's whimsical, melancholy, philosophical, absurd, and blessed with some excellent character animation in episode 2. If you thought the premise sounded even remotely interesting, you should absolutely try it.

Lazarus: Sure looks great, but the writing ranges from just plain dumb to complete nonsense. Also it turns out I still hate dubs.

Sword of the Demon Hunter: Sets its protagonist up with an origin story which is dark and edgy on paper, but avoids the gratuitous excesses that would normally go with it. Only the one person that needs to be horribly killed for plot reasons gets horribly killed, and it goes out its way to show its human characters having humanity, allowing the demons to look properly demonic in comparison. Although this was advertised as a time travel story, there's no going back and forth, it's just that a couple of characters are going to have very long lifespans.

ZatsuTabi: Yup, it's just low-key travelogues about journeys to obscure bits of Japan. It turns out that this is my kind of thing right now, but I understand if it isn't yours.

Kowloon Generic Romance: Sets up a fascinating mystery, but it's going to be a competition between my interest in that and my annoyance at how much time the camera spends ogling our heroine (although episode 3 was much better) and how the shortcut to showing us that the apparent villain is evil is to make him an effeminate gay man (episode 3 got much worse on this).

I also managed to stop watching The Apothecary Diaries in the middle of its first episode of the season, so you don't have to keep reading my complaints about it.

The weekly chat posts are intended for just that, chatting among each other. What are you currently watching? Reading? What actor/idol are you currently following? What are you looking forward to? Are you busy writing, creating art? Or did you have no time at all for anything, and are bemoaning that fact?

Whatever it is, talk to us about it here. Tell us what you liked or didn't like, and if you want to talk about spoilery things, please hide them under either of these codes:

Challenge 257:
CHEMISTRY

There’s sparks flying in the lab tonight!

Maybe your scientists are hard at work trying to solve a mystery, cure a disease, or create some kind of weapon. Or maybe a handful of thoroughly unqualified amateurs got their hands on a chemistry kit, and they’re about to get in way over their heads. Or perhaps there’s no scientific chemistry going on at all, but there sure is something going on between those two people that their friends are noticing...

Write a story about chemistry.

BONUS GOAL: “Should it be turning that color?”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, April 21 at 9:00PM EST.

• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 257 – chemistry

Rec time! Did you read/watch/listen to something you really liked and would love other people to know about, too? Don't have the time or energy to make a full promo post, or think such a small thing doesn't merit a separate entry?

Here's your chance to share with the class! Just drop a comment with a link and maybe a couple of words in description. No need to overthink things, it can be as simple as Loved this! or OMG, look at that!. (You don't need to keep it short, though, write as much as you want.)

Check out the previous entries, too!
