all ENG sub and RAW links redirect to YouTube unless otherwise stated
please ignore my ratings (I rate MUCH lower than you may expect so don't let my opinion deter you)
thank you to Douqi for subbing most of the Chinese short films and dramas and providing most (if not all) of the information for the titles, original links are in her video descriptions and website
if any links are broken you can generally find other ways to watch through Douqi's carrd, or Archive page
I also have a historical gay/BL/bromance list which you can find here
