oh look tsunami warnings… that 9-1-1 episode could actually happen. I’m so baffled.

It would be really funny if someone wrote on of the Fantasy Romance web novels but plot twist the setting is in the southern hemisphere of that planet. The usual trope of the Duke of the North would be subverted with the Duke of the South. The Main Character has no idea until they get utterly bamboozled.

I feel like Zoey would introduce Mira and Rumi to tumblr.

URGH. Emmerich Holyblade and I just went to The Ceremony to receive our RPG Job Titles, and he OBVIOUSLY got Chosen Hero Sword Saint. So now he's gonna set out to kill the Demon Lord of Darkness.

Me? I just got Dark Mage. Honestly, it's pretty rare, but the job opportunities are also limited. You either get into covert assassination or dungeon raiding.

God, just because we're the only two kids in The Village, Emmerich Holyblade automatically assumes this makes us friends. He doesn't even realize I hate him and his stupid smug swordsman ass.

URGGHHHH he just asked me to join his Grand Hero's Party. fuck. I can't just say no if the Grand Holy King himself is gonna payroll us to do this shit. Whatever man. Let's rock till the Demon Lord of Darkness is dead, and then I can retire and never see Emmerich Holyblade again.

I am having way too much fun with this (눈ᴗ 눈)

Thank you!!!

Honestly the demons are in an incredibly abusive situation. “I let you keep your voice” is such a horrifying statement and implies a lot about what it’s like under Gwi-Ma’s regime.

I know “Idol” by the Saja Boys describes a toxic/abusive relationship, and people see some lyrics directed towards Rumi.

However, there’s a lot to explore how the lyrics in “Idol” relates to Jinu’s relationship with Gwi-Ma.

The lyrics reinforce several things that Jinu’s already disclosed earlier on in the movie, all of which relate to Jinu’s perception of himself and Gwi-Ma’s treatment of Jinu, as well all the other demons.

Given the overall plot of the movie, the “Idol” lyrics represent how the boys are embodying the power and manipulation of Gwi-Ma as they lead the entire audience to their deaths— to be ultimately consumed by the fire of the demon king

The Saja Boys are likely singing words that were spoken to them at one point by Gwi-Ma, parroting the same phrases that they were told to the audience

I would like to know why my brain is so attached to the idea that Abby is trans.

My brain at 2 am just went: what if Abby is so happy about the abs and everything else because of supreme gender euphoria?!

It has not left me since

I’m going to say it:

Rumi, do consider that if you put a condom over the handle of your sword you could safely fuck Jinu in your sword.

My current theory is that someone saw K/DA again and was kinda mad that League of Legends of all things had made this amazing K-pop group.

my pgf's kpdh theory is:

"Someone on the team heard “kpop? Oh yeah I love bts!” and then they were fueled by the rage of their Korean ancestors and made the entire sequence for soda pop and my idol"

its funny when events that probably couldve been traumatic dont bother you so you'll end up casually dropping stuff like "so after that time i almost got lost at sea as a kid-" and theyll be like WHAT and youre like. oh yeah dont worry its just part of my lore. its honestly not even a top five interesting backstory moment. focus please.

May I introduce you to Lan Zhan courtesy name Wangji from MXTX’s MDZS?

Another thing fandom needs to start doing more of is projecting on tops.

There are delicious amounts of psychological distress you can inflict on that guy once you get into his head. The brainworms of forcing agency and initiative on someone who genuinely is Not Fucking Ready For It are exquisite.

anyways i just love the way kpop demon hunters stayed true to its roots in korean/asian culture, especially around the core theme of community vs individualism

the fact that it's not a single chosen one but a group of three

the fact that the honmoon is not powered by the hunters themselves but by the energy and love of the fans

the fact that gwi-ma turns people into demons by promising that he is the only one who can help them when he is in fact reliant on his army of demons to collect souls for him

the fact that "your idol" is about surrendering yourself to a single higher power while "golden" is about soaring to new heights together

the fact that gwi-ma preys on people's individual insecurities and shame to get inside their heads while rumi, mira, and zoey set them free in the end by encouraging them to embrace their differences and reminding them that they're not alone

the fact that you can see the audience cheering individually and even pushing into each other to get closer to the stage during "your idol"

while they're linking arms and cheering together and hugging during "what it feels like"

i have not seen the live action lilo and stitch but it feels like that movie sits on the opposite end of the spectrum from kpop demon hunters as a case study for how to tell a story in way that is culturally authentic and still resonates with a broader audience

and i think given that the core theme of the movie is all about community over individualism, the ending, particularly as it relates to rumi and jinu's budding romance, is really the perfect culmination of that broader theme

rumi and jinu's connection has all the hallmarks of that all-encompassing, all-consuming, borderline co-dependent first love where you keep your relationship a secret and sneak out of the house to meet up and feel like the other person is the ONLY person who really gets you

i'm the only one who can understand you, i'm the only one who will love you is the kind of thing that sounds romantic when you're 16 until you get older and realize how toxic it actually is and i love that the movie counters that in "what it sounds like" with rumi realizing that she had that love and support all along from her girls, and later, from the fans who continue to cheer them on through their comeback

it's about connection and sisterhood and love and sharing your fears and lifting each other up and becoming stronger and better together

and as compelling as i found rumi/jinu and as much as i would like to see their relationship explored more in a sequel/series, i just really love that this movie, which is clearly targeted at young women, ends on the message that romantic love is not the end all be all, that friendship is just as important if not more so than a romantic partner, that single women can lead successful, fulfilling lives, that true happiness and freedom start from within

it's crazy that this message still seems revolutionary in 2025 but given the current state of the world, it feels more necessary than ever

I desire to see the absolute chaos that mixing K-pop Demon Hunters and MXTX’s MDZS would bring. I wanna see the Lan clan collectively faint from the k-pop songs. I wanna see the clans scrambling about in a panic over Huntrix’s ability to summon their weapons. The scandals the clothing would cause. All of it would be so good.

[fae-of-the-wild]

This is so fucking true. I have no clue why, buts it’s the truth.

do NOT sort by kudos the real play is to find the most prolific writers in the hockey rpf tag and go to their profile to see if they’ve written a single bizarrely high-quality fic for the fandom you’re actually looking for
