i personally find it very funny that kitty is drawn to dating people where her relationship would cause the most amount of drama as opposed to lara jean where the drama just kinda comes to her despite her wishes. girly thrives in drama. every single crush kitty has comes at the worst possible time for her to have that crush. i don't think this girl has had a sustained crush that was not a rebound that wouldn't result in some catastrophe.

she likes dae for half of season 1 when dating him would land him in hot water with yuri's crazy family, yuri's quest to stay in the closet, min-ho, and his scholarship with the school, ending with kitty dumping dae to pine for a taken girl. then she likes yuri for half of season 1 and the first half of season 2 and that culminates in the worst ending for a ski trip sans discovering or creating a dead body, an avalanche or what happens in to all the boys i've loved. currently she likes min-ho, a dude who values his best friend dae to the point where the show's episode blurb puts his efforts to get his friendship back as equal to yuri's efforts to get juliana. this same dae also expressed great anger at the possibility that his friend could have any feelings for his ex multiple times and was pacified by min-ho saying that there was nothing (you lying dumbass) between the two of them. when that gets found out (and let's not kid ourselves it will), the friend group will implode again.

girly really entered season 2 saying that she was gonna avoid the drama from last season. girl YOU want the drama.

Mild Defense Of Picture You’s Use in Xo Kitty

As much it’s very, funny/ironic/sad, that they played Chappell Roan while kitty and minho were dancing I do think the song fits the two story wise. There’s two parts to how the song applies to them (the second one more potent than the first).

Number One,

The song itself is about imaging a lover while getting off which fits these two quite well. They’re both the only two people in the show to have wet dreams (duh) and they’re the only two to have wet dreams about each other. Now that might sound like the same thing but the difference is key. The song is about the idea of a couple picturing each other sexually and they both have. So, if we look at the question itself “Do you picture me, like I picture you?” Yuri and Dae never don’t, but Minho does.

Number Two

Secondly, (and more importantly) the song is about this fear of being rejected by the person you’re interested in. The idea that someone you love doesn’t view you the way you view them. By this point in the series that element is only present in Minho and Kitty’s relationship. Kitty knows that Yuri doesn’t picture her the way she picture Yuri, because Yuri is dating Juliana. I don’t believe there’s ever a point where Kitty thinks Yuri could possibly feel the same way/as much about her (even during the kiss). And of course Kitty already knows how Dae pictures her and she doesn’t picture him the same way. Contrast this with Kitty and Minho. Both, Kitty and Minho don’t know if the other views them the same way. Kitty has no idea if Minho feels anything else for her or if he sees her as just a friend. Minho also doesn’t know if Kitty feels no attraction for him at all because Kitty doesn’t flat out reject his confession. He even points out that Kitty smiled at the idea of viewing him this way. In that moment at the dance they’re both so unsure of the other’s feelings and the action of them even dancing together itself brings even more confusion. This cumulates In them looking into each other’s eyes and wondering “Do you picture me, like I picture you?”.

I completely understand why people think this song should’ve played during a Yuri and Kitty’s kiss or any other sapphic mommi during the season, but personally I think this song fits this ship perfectly. (But it’s still a hilarious song choice)

what i've learned from xo kitty is that going on a ski trip in the to all the boys i've ever loved universe will end in catastrophe.

Maybe I’m a heartless bitch but I truly believe that it is perfectly alright and expected to laugh at people who suffer from the policies they voted in.

the funniest thing about the new venom trailer is that the new title is literally a wedding vow

everytime i have to read about how 'bryke totally was sooo good at buddhism and hinduism and eastern philosophy guys' i think about how they named the pet bison of the main character Appa, which is the Tamil or-depending on how you transliterate it-Korean word for father while pronouncing the word incorrectly as 'Aapa' which is an Urdu term for older sister.

me: lovely runner is a happy series :) yes they have some issues but it's all happy :)

also me: comes up with more and more devastating stories that depress me while i write them.

Sun-jae, standing at the front of the crowd

Being taller than almost every person there

What a jerk

[asocial-skye]

i know that the college-era timeline had to end poorly because we need the drama of it, but i would've loved to see everyone inform past im sol that sun-jae was her boyfriend after old im sol left back to present day.

and if i'm being really indulgent, cue kim tae-sung and baek in-hyuk not being to handle sun-jae's pining ass and decide to go on a mission to 'recover her memory.'

In-hyuk and Tae-sung at the premiere for Lovely Runner: The Movie starring Sun-jae and they are both bawling their eyes out and have no idea why.

gathering data in preparation for our last Monday

[asocial-skye]

i don't know what ep 15 is going to be about, but why does the preview make it look like tae-sung is straight up going to launch a case against sun-jae because he thinks he kidnapped her.

[asocial-skye]

What if people don't even get mad over his dating rumors? They're like "Thank God this guy is finally dating someone. We thought he had no love life."

[asocial-skye]

my unpopular opinion about lovely runner is that i think that sun-jae actually killed himself in the original timeline, and that he was only murdered in the second timeline.

read below, for my analysis!

if you look at the sun-jae perspectives in the first timelines (i.e. before im sol came back to the future from the second try after her successful running away from the kidnapper), he's clearly miserable. He clearly hates being an idol, he doesn't seem to get on with his bandmates (i love that when im sol changed the timeline, baek in-hyuk and sun-jae became close friends again; they have good friend chemistry, and their relationship is genuinely sweet), and he definitely feels tremendous guilt over what happened to sol (he definitely internalized what she said in the hospital).

if we look at the murderer, the way that sun-jae would've died, which is being pushed off the balcony into the swimming pool, would become way more difficult, and harder to pull off. we didn't get the best look at that corpse, but there were virtually no signs of struggle. dude is kind of smiling, or it is more contentment (this could just be me not understanding facial expressions or byeon woo seok breaking character as a dead guy) if you look at ep 9, then we see that the killer would struggle against sun-jae, who's pretty broad and taller than the killer. even if the killer had the element of surprise, he'd still have to get sun-jae knocked down, which he couldn't do in ep 9 even with sun-jae still not expecting it, and then drag him to the balcony and push him off. also from what we see about this killer (which is practically nothing as far as i know; why does he even want to kill sol? is he like a serial killer who just kills random people, and then sol and sun-jae just happen to escape?) , but given that the murder that is confirmed is done by knife stabbing, it seems like just throwing him off the balcony is not usually his MO. people also stab themselves to commit suicide.

also if you look at his final interaction with sol from his perspective, he's suddenly onslaught with all of the guilt and self-hatred that he had dealt with fifteen years ago along with his current problems. he loves her no doubt, but he's also wracked with guilt over what he feels is his fault in putting her in a wheelchair, and also some despair over the fact that she doesn't remember. When all of those feelings smash together, who wouldn't fall into such deep despair that they'd consider something?

[asocial-skye]

why is byeon woo seok the worst fake dead guy.
