5 Times Peter Made Tony Laugh Out Loud, Spider-man, Avengers, Iron Man, by grilledcheesing
5 Times Peter Pretended To Be Tougher Than He Was, ditto by grilledcheesing

Have been rather immersed in K-drama for a few months now, and current obsession is Are you human too?. I watch all the clips from KBS on Youtube when they are released, despite not understanding any Korean, and watch it on Viu later when it's subbed. Then again a lot of the dialogue is pretty straightforward so you can make a guess? Also there are recaps on Dramabeans. I think a bit part of my fascination comes from the fact that I still can't quite predict how it will end: whether it's going for "ok, a robot-human romance is definitely doable, let's handwave all the side-concerns" (which I secretly root for, heh), or "robot Nam Shin will sacrifice himself (or get sacrificed, because he's a robot) and then human Nam Shin will find redemption, etc, etc" which is a much more teeth-gnashing ending and I will be justified in scoffing at K-dramas, all over again. Or something else. I look forward to finding out.Let's hope it's not a human-robot mind-meld.
I do tend to get a bit bored by K-dramas, especially the slice-of-life types. They are lovely for the first few episodes (even if they're really good), and then I get restless. The ones that draw my attention most are the ones that give me some interesting myth-making, especially ones that make some (tenuous) connection to folklore. That's probably why I loved Goblin so much, but this doesn't explain my antipathy to other fantasy dramas...
Back to book meme, and since it's the first of the month:
