i feel like i had a massive breakthrough with understanding in hindsight how adhd has affected my relationship with art, and i sat there for about an hour just like

[dame-c]

For Heesung, I thought he was a red flag mostly because the “apparently innocent second ML turns out to be a huge, even bigger asshole than the main ML” is a trope I’ve already seen a lot in BL, but mostly in shoujo. Also, him buying Dan all those gifts really rubbed me the wrong way, because a stranger essentially spending so much money on expensive designer stuff with second intentions buy the affection of someone they’ve known for a week or so seemed very alarming to me. Feels like love-bombing but with gifts. But turns out, he’s not the two-faced monster I thought he was going to be!

But, uh… You mentioned you thought Jae might let Heesung have a turn with Dan… Honestly, with the way Heesung reacted, I bet he thought he’d have a turn with Dan too. He blushed when he saw Dan and when Jae told him to be quiet and come closer, Heesung did exactly that while blushing. He only looked truly disturbed, scared and hurrying to leave after Jaekyung threatened him. Which might be me misinterpreting that scene, but for that he’s not out of my watch. Still, I think he might give up on Dan after that.

On another note, a lot of people ignore that Jae has been sadistic from the very beginning. People used the excuse that he “didn’t know about Dan’s situation” but after he quite literally buys Dan from the loan sharks, he knows that what he’s doing is fucked up. He knows he’s taking advantage of Dan— and he’s into it. The look he gives Dan before telling him he cleared his debt and how he tells Dan to “give up his pride” while smiling says it all. He even taunts him about it during their sparring/competition thing, saying

You know, when Dan’s about to be evicted and begs Jaekyung for money, humiliating himself, that’s when their dynamic starts to change. At that point in the story Jae didn’t know much about Dan, and Dan had considerably a lot more “power” and “freedom” in regards to Jae (even though, realistically, he couldn’t), but after seeing Dan on his knees, all beat up, begging for money to move into a new house Jae starts to notice that Dan is desperate and that means he can cross any boundaries — thus the infamous bop-it toy sex scene happens. His past partners could refuse it but Dan can’t.

And later, when he buys Dan from the loan sharks, that’s where their dynamic shifts completely. Before, Jae was just a source of money with no strings attached. Now Dan’s indebted directly to him (saved? no. more like under new management), and becomes completely reliant on Jae to have a place to live and is finacially dependent on him. At this point, Joo has complete awareness of Dan’s situation (even more after meeting his grandma).

He actively enjoys the fact that Dan is 100% at his mercy. And I believe him when he says he sees than as a possession, because in his mind it’s literally how it is. As much as I believe he might already have feelings for Dan, that doesn’t negate the fact that he’s just a possession now. He purchased Dan with money, “saved” him from a shitty situation and took care of the hospital bills for his grandma, in exchange Dan is completely his. And he hates it anytime Dan shows even a bit of resistance or steps out of line, or when outside circumstances (Potato interrupting sex; Dan helping out the other members of the gym; Heesung existing basically) interfere with Dan.

Dan’s the perfect toy that can’t say no to his whims and fetishes like his other partners did, he cooks him food and also takes care of his health and treatments. People say Jaekyung would drop Dan if he found out about Dan’s crush on him, but I disagree. He’d love that shit, because that means Dan won’t leave him and he can use those feelings to manipulate Dan even more. It makes no sense for Jae to drop Dan.

And the scary thing is that those stunts he pulls are CALCULATED!!!!! The car one and now the incident in chapter 34. He plans them in silence, he festers in his own jealousy and anger then acts it out.

Honestly Jaekyung is such an interestingly fucked up character, I love him and I love to hate him. I do believe he’s only going to get more controlling and obsessive from here on. I kinda hate that some people want to defend Joo because he doesn’t need defending. He is what he is, Mingwa knows that they’re doing with his character. He IS abusive towards Dan, and now we’re stepping into a more scary territory with the lying and manipulation, also the break of trust. Again, sorry for the long rant! I knew Jinx would be a dark romance but I thought it would be one of those very light ones where the ML is just a textbook asshole, which is why the recent development caught me off guard.

Oh wow, this is a big one.

Well, who knows, maybe I am in the wrong about Heesung after all. Maybe he too has some sceletons in his closet. Nothing is for certain.

I gotta disagree in one point tho; I do think that Jae does like it at least a bit when Dan puts on a fight, no matter if verbally or physically. Sure, he may be annoyed and roll his eyes, but if I remember correctly, he had been impressed by that hook Dan had thrown in the showers. I don't think he wants him to be a mindless slave either - perhaps he does enjoy him having a bit of a bite and character. And with all that shit he's been pulling, it is clear that he is not only a possessive but also a jealous man, who perhaps slowly starts to get involved, and is handling that absolutely terribly. I don't know. But he sure got issues.

All in all, a bastard. But I still cannot help myself and want to see where this is all going 👀

Sabine's voice is not coming back either!

Anne Jatco, Sabine Cheng English Voice Actress (who replaced the late Philece Sampler in Season 4) will also not reprise her role in Season 5.

The reason is the same as Juleka, Rose and Mayor Bourgeois voice actors, the low pay they are receiving for their work...

You can watch her statement here:

And you can see the statements of Joe Ochman and Reba Buhr (the other actors who probably won't return) in my previous post here:

ENGLISH DUB ACTORS ARE LEAVING THE SHOW!?

Joe Ochman, the voice of André Bourgeois and Reba Buhr, the voice of Rose and Juleka, just announced that they will most likely be replaced in season 5...

The reason? They, among other English Voice Actors on the show, had asked for a pay raise for their work and they were refused.

Both also said that Miraculous is the lowest paying show they have ever worked on, despite it also being the most popular show they ever worked on.

It is speculated that there will be other actors who will also leave the show, since the two of them were not the only ones who asked for a raise and they were denied, but for the moment there haven't been other statements from other actors

Here you can see both statements from their Twitter and Instagram accounts

so, to sum up the last couple weeks:

the NFT fad ended and several tokens that were supposed to be worth millions were sold for peanuts

terra luna tanked and dragged terra’s stablecoin off its peg. terra was the 3rd largest stablecoin at the time

meanwhile, people are starting to face legal consequences for stuff like fraud and money laundering

terra freezes their blockchain to prevent a run on the bank stablecoin

tether and dei also lose their pegs and tank

a court is forcing tether to reveal its reserve records to the public, which will definitely show that they’re backed by significantly less money than they claim

etherium and bitcoin both crash hard at the same time

tether’s market cap has dropped by several billion in the past few days, which might mean that some of the people at the top of the pyramid scheme are cashing out in dollars. just scooping up handfuls of money from tether’s reserves and running for the hills

crypto is fucking dying lol

Let’s see what this whole hummus thing is about

[dame-c]

I’ve officially decided my favorite relationship trope is “at first I was perpetually bothered by your mere existence but somewhere along the way you became my best friend and oh yeah I’m also in love with you.” Nothing else matters.

OKAY BUT

hardison, boyfriend of eliot spencer, ‘food makes you feel something’ chef extraordinaire,  being obsessed with the tiktoker bdylanhollis. he lives for the chaotic vibes of the videos and shows them to parker. and she loves them. (maybe a little too much)

parker starts making some of the dishes when eliot isn’t around, the good and the bad ones

she and hardison have a great time making them and start collecting vintage recipe books of their own when they go to flea markets and antique stores in the city

they fool eliot exactly one (1) time by telling him that they spent all day making a cake for him. they give him puppy dog eyes that make him begrudgingly ignore the questionable look of it

he hacks it up into the nearest garbage can and doesn’t talk to them for over an hour

he then spent thirty minutes scolding them about how what they made was a disgrace to the culinary arts and that he forbids them from cooking or baking in the kitchen

they apologize-

...and then make another recipe two days later

eliot sighs with defeat and makes them promise to only make him taste the good ones
