Welcome

I’m Hils. I’m British, I’m ace, I’ve been part of online fandom since the 90s. 

My fic can be found on AO3 and more recently linked on Tumblr under the My Fic tag.

I post weekly fic recs on a Monday which can be found on the Fic Recs tag. 

I occasionally make gifs which can be found on the My Gifs tag.

You can also find me on Bluesky.

My TV/Drama liveblogs can be found on the Hils Watches tag. If you’re interested in a specific country’s dramas or just a specific drama here’s a breakdown of what I’ve liveblogged so far:

Movies - Hils Watches Movies - Hils Watches Conjuring Curse - Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 - Hils Watches Misty Creed - Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

Hils Watches My Beautiful Man - Ep 1

Now that I'm back from Scotland it's time to start a new drama.

Usually I save Japanese dramas for my Saturday group watch but we've already got the next couple chosen so I figured I'd just watch this one on my own.

So they moved for work and left their 17 year old son behind in a house alone so he can finish high school. Wow, okay, sure.

Okay I love introvert photographer boy already. Definitely not relatable at all 👀

modern au li lianhua who runs a popular recipe blog that is popular not because of the recipes (they all suck, people have tried them and the results range from 'edible' to 'even my dog wouldn't eat the rest'), but because he's a fantastic writer who for some reason is using his talent on telling stories about himself and his boyfriends in his recipe intros that have people in the comments heatedly debating on whether or not they actually happened. he never elaborates on any of them

Whoever invented "open in app" links that redirect you to the app store instead of actually opening the app even when you already have the app installed on your phone should be involuntarily turned into a beanbag chair

So I saw @foxofninetales's post with original art for DMBJ where Pangzi tries to commission a new Iron Triangle photo, and my hand slipped, and now there's fic for it!

These days weren't treating Pangzi that badly. He could now be chopping scallions for the braised fish at dinner (they had to be chopped to an inch of their lives because how else are you supposed to serve the dish? Like some sort of a savage?) to the tune of: "Pang-shu you're so fast! I can barely see your knife moving! That's so cool!"

Pangzi would blow the strand of hair away from his face and toss his head back to get it out of the way before proceeding to chop the scallions to even more of an inch of their lives without saying anything in response, because that itself was a response, wasn't it? And Pangzi could be humble sometimes. Sometimes.

was reminded of that youtube channel that records footage of that bridge that scalps trucks today. one of the fascinating developments that's happened since i last heard about it is that, in one of their many attempts to stop the trucks from being can-opened, they installed a traffic light that detects when a vehicle that's over the allowed height is coming and turns red so the driver can stop and hopefully notice the signage all around that's screaming "YOUR VEHICLE IS OVERHEIGHT TURN AROUND" and avoid an accident. However as a result sometimes drivers see the light turning yellow and IMMEDIATELY start flooring it to avoid having to stop, ensuring that the roof of their truck just gets fucking annihilated instantly. Really beautiful stuff you should check it out
