🧠 "Smart Jikookers" — Where You At?

You know what’s truly comedic? Watching some Jikookers try to be the self-appointed saviors of the TL like it’s an Avengers reboot nobody asked for. Suddenly y’all out here with your superhero capes, “correcting” narratives you were helping blow out of proportion less than 24 hours ago. Oh, it’s okay when you say it, but when someone else brings it up first, you pull out the moral compass and start preaching from your digital pulpit? Cute.

Let me be clear: YOU are part of the problem. And you know who you are.

This is exactly why it’s hard to defend our own sometimes. The whiplash from the hypocrisy is unreal. Like baby, you started the chaos, stirred the drama soup, and now you wanna act brand new because you finally took 3 seconds to Google something? Sit down.

Shout out to the Jikookies who actually took the time to show up to the chatroom yesterday or stayed quiet instead of barking nonsense into the void. I see you. I appreciate you. You're not just here for vibes — you're here with critical thinking, empathy, and at least a basic understanding that this isn't just Western Twitter where everything revolves around your personal interpretation of "activism."

But for the rest of you? The ones who turned into part-time scholars after causing an online riot? You had one job — to not open your mouth before you had the full context. But instead, you were out here handing out takes like they were Halloween candy.

This is why more and more Jikookers are opting for private convos, silent reposts, and stepping back from public discourse. Because the second we try to share something nuanced, half of y’all are foaming at the mouth, itching to cancel someone based on mistranslations and assumptions.

I truly believed Jikookers were built differently — smarter, sharper, more in tune with nuance. And yet, here we are. Again. Disappointed, exhausted, and begging people to stop Westernizing everything like Korea is a Pinterest moodboard and not a country with its own culture, context, and emotional weight.

You don’t live there. You don’t speak the language fluently. You don’t know the people involved. But somehow you're the spokesperson for how things should be handled?

I’m begging you. For the love of Jikook, for the love of common sense, for the love of the people they care about — DO. YOUR. RESEARCH. Stop dragging the people they love through the mud just because your brain was out of office that day.

This isn’t just disappointing. It’s disheartening. And it’s a damn shame that this even needed to be said.

"omg wait! i need to go through this person's entire account and inspect every single tag on their fanfiction to make sure they don't write rape or anything illegal before i interact!!" please be serious. i had to search the user because i literally had no idea what you were talking about, i thought you were ragebaiting me at first

literally pissing me off so bad. it's not weird to not want STRANGERS following your PERSONAL (read: private) BLOG!!!! you are not entitled to following others! be respectful!!

pleaky wearing women's clothes wasn't "transgender subtext" it was a transmisogynist "man-in-a-dress" joke. i am so fucking sick of tme people comparing removing a bigoted joke to the actual bad parts of this remake

I am spoiling the live action Lilo & Stitch. And I am doing it up front and plainly.

Do not fucking see this movie. Do not waste your money on this. Period.

They made Nani give Lilo up to the American government. They made Nani LEAVE Hawaii and pursue being a marine biologist. They made a native Hawaiian character give up her sibling to pursue a dream that she originally did not have. This is imperialist propaganda at its FINEST.

The original fucking movie is about family staying together. It's about indigenous people being able to stay with each other and stay in their home and be together! That's the whole fucking point! Nani is Lilo's last living relative on her homeland—it is jarring, it is disgusting and disturbing that Nani would not only leave her last blood relative alone, give her up to the very government that is harming native Hawaiians TODAY, but also travel to the "mainland" for her dream!

Not to mention, Nani's actress isn't fucking Hawaiian. She's much paler in photos and real life. They fucking darkened her for this movie.

Don't even get me started on the transgender subtext of Pleakley's "human" disguise from the original movie being completely erased in favor of him being played by a regular ass white man. Jumba doesn't have his accent, they made him more villainous, and his "human" disguise is a non-fat white man—which part of his original joke, I know, is that he was bigger and was more clumsy in the movie because of his size, but to have the main shape of his character completely removed is also fucking weird.

This live action movie is a desecration to the original. I encourage you to not see it, please. Don't give Disney any of your money on this one. Just watch the original. Please just watch the original.

The new message in the live action movie is disturbing and gross.

This is one of the most disrespectful live actions I've seen and heard of. I implore you to not watch it.

[randomnow]

why do people always beg for character/show names in the replies??? go to the original post and the majority of the time it's tagged oh my god please

its so easy i promise

[hunybody]

you all misunderstood percy’s reaction to nico saying he used to have a crush on percy soooo bad. “percy was offended he wasn’t nico’s type” this “percy is so oblivious” that HOW have we all forgotten that nico literally wanted that man DEAD in the first series. and allowed percy to walk around with kidnapppng amnesia for most of the second. WHY would percy think he was nico’s type AT ALL why ON EARTH would he NOT be oblivious to nico having a crush on him???? he is certain that nico wants him homeless on the street at LEAST

Asking for millions of people, are there really any undecided voters? Who hasn’t made up their minds yet? Do you really want 4 more years of this shit?

[foggywonderlandgentlemen]

I keep seeing people use they/them for Lest or calling her androgynous and it's just. Where? Where???

This is the femmest femme fatale to ever femme fatale. Her design is undeniably feminine. She's voiced by a woman. She's serving cunt. Y'all just have the disease that makes you misgender trans women. Not me tho, stay safe out there

thinking about how deeply lucanis' life has been defined by a lack of control of that life -- as he himself points out, even before the ossuary went and carved the headline out again with big bloody letters. of course he reacts badly to losing what little control he did manage to construct for himself even within those circumstances.

(namely: experience has taught him that things (caterina, loss, pain, love, all horribly and indelibly intermingled) will happen to him whether he wants them to or not and there's nothing he can do about that... but he gets to decide what's let in or out of his soul as it happens, even if he has to close it all down and deaden and numb himself out in the process. (even if that means he drifts further and further away from illario, who's been desperately reaching out and trying to keep hold of him until he finally gives up completely and tries to cut the bond all at once when lucanis doesn't seem to reach back anymore.) it's such rare well-observed freeze logic solidly constructed from the bottom up, I'm still so impressed with it.

the way illario seeks constant external means to cope with caterina's abuse and importance in his life -- he can't win her admiration or acceptance or warmth (or like. acknowledgement even, at times :') ), no matter what, so he goes out and finds those things in others and then disdains and dismisses it for how easily and falsely it's won from them. he plots, he conspires, he tries to beat her at her own game however clumsily, he tries. lucanis doesn't try things that way. he's not about 'how do I improve my situation' by nature, he's 'how can I stop this from getting worse'. he avoids, he internalizes, he hunkers down and makes himself nothing until the pain maybe ends. he's fundamentally not a plotter, he's a reacter. an expert assassin pantser, if you will, to illario's clear and stated exasperation fhsak. man I love them. illario says 'get us out of here!!! if you loved me as I love you you'd help me get us out of here before it kills us both', lucanis says 'there is no other place, there's nowhere to go, all we can do is endure. and if it kills us... well, that's just family. that's what love is (the way things are headed I'll die first anyway so it's fine I won't have to face losing you)', and they're equally baffled and hurt by each other's POV. but they're both right, and they're both wrong. there's no 'right' way to deal with caterina's treatment of them, or their situation. the house always wins, if you pardon the expression. house dellamorte still stands and that is what matters to caterina in the end more than anything.

it also fits so well b/c like... their core wounds are that illario is the least favourite and is constantly dismissed, so he has to prove to caterina again and again that he matters. not even that he's worth love or respect or warm regard, but that he's here at all and as such should be considered. he has to shout 'in case u forgot I EXIST!!' at the top of his lungs or else be rendered nothing within the family structure (and himself, because it's all about family, that's all that really matters. in some weird twisted way I think caterina openly declaring him before all the other crows to still be of house dellamorte -- and no one from house dellamorte kneels -- is kind of a victory for him, as much as it's also a furthering of a prison sentence and public humiliation. house dellamorte brainfuckery goes hard.). lucanis is the favourite, and it's the double-edged sword that he gets all the affection and attention but also all the control and impossible expectations. drowning under all of that constant stress and close evaluation, his brain whispers 'I don't exist' to try to escape, to hide and hold on to the deep parts of himself that are crucial to life but not part of the perfect grandson caterina demands of him as the price of her love.)

I think a lot about how what seems to disquiet lucanis the most post-ossuary (as it would anyone with that psychological makeup) is the dissolving of internal boundaries and control he's been relying on, which is part of what spite symbolizes. his anger and reactivity has seceded from the union to the point of personification as a little guy (a little guy he resents and fears for his unpredictability and invasions into regions of his psyche he wishes to stay frozen and barren, and yet cares about deeply, loves! and also constantly dismisses and frequently helplessly lets down unless he's helped to learn to do otherwise. does this remind you of another relationship in his life, perhaps. it makes me feel nuts to think about the illario/spite parallels thanks for asking), and now that little guy is out there running the show freely the moment he glances away or closes his eyes. literal nightmare scenario I feel for him so deeply. so much of his coping is predicated on being able to Not do or feel or want certain things, and that's out the window now, Spite has Opinions. Spite refuses to stay wisely in place even if that place is hell on the logic that if you move you could find yourself in a place that's even worse, somehow. Spite actually wants to experience the world, however fucked up and scarring the way he arrived here, not just endure it. Spite means he has to face that maybe illario wasn't wrong all those years, at the same time as having to admit and face what illario has done to him, and figure out what to do about any of it.

anyway. mary kirby ma'am that's some good fucking metaphor work. thank you, and sorry about all the shit that happened
