Woah, this was a crazy take. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that James' death didn't amount to anything but a plot point.

Honestly, I have no problem with people liking James. Personally, I don't vibe with him, but it would be really hypocritical for me to judge people who like him. And, the act of judging or hating someone for liking a character is generally just an awful thing to do. Interact with whatever content you want, like whatever character you want, as long you draw the boundaries between fiction and reality, and don't let it affect you too much to the point of condoning the content you consume or the character's actions you like.

What I have a problem with is the fanbase. The fanbase is giving those people those content you see online that shows people and their lack of critical thinking skills or intellect or empathy or all of the above? Those are James fans. They warp everything to fit the narrative they have set up and aggressively combats anything that proves to be a threat to that narrative, stubbornly remaining steadfast in their beliefs and unwilling to accept any other views—no matter how based on canonical events it is—as long as it even just slightly suggests that James is not the great person that the fans have built him up to be. They go so far as to tell a victim of SA, bullying, neglect, public humiliation, ostracization, and witness to violence at home that he deserves it solely to uplift James Potter. James fans are giving defenders and supporters of violators of human—and child—rights.

Oh my amazing, amazing James Potter.

They will never make me love you.

I’m not going to lie. I’m just so anti-James Potter that I hate him more than Umbridge. I don’t know who I hate more, James or James-fans.

And I may hate this post in the future once somebody humbles me, so for the reasonable people out there, please educate me if my take is wrong. But I just saw fans saying that James is braver than most for sacrificing himself for his family. Who is “most”? To start, I believe that a willingness to sacrifice yourself for your child (and wife) is something that every loving and caring man with a spouse and a child would do?

But to say he is braver than most when there are many characters that were shown doing braver things than him? Ridiculous. And I am not trying to demean his sacrifice. Because sacrificing your life is a legitimately brave thing to do. Now, I’ll admit those comments may have been aimed at real life. But I have a feeling this is just them actually claiming that James was braver than most in that fantasy universe of Harry Potter. And that is where I found an issue with.

First of all, Lily made the same sacrifice that he made. And her sacrifice actually amounted to something. It was her love that saved Harry. In a narrative sense, his death wasn’t even worth it. It didn’t amount to anything but make Harry an orphan. Maybe that’s a little harsh. My apologies. But to add, a lot of people sacrificed and risked their lives for his child, for Harry. If this is a comment about him being braver than most in that universe, I mean, sure, not the entire wizarding world would do that. But of the cast of characters? A lot of people have. So if the cast of characters is the sample size, then...baby, he is not braver than most. I feel like sacrificing or risking your life for Harry Potter was the bare minimum. Literally, Ron Weasley risked his life when he was 11 years old because he could have died during magical chess in Sorcerer’s Stone.

Second of all, I’d reckon that Snape was braver than James, braver than most, braver than basically the whole cast. He willingly spied for the Order despite knowing how risky it is where one wrong move could have gotten him killed. He is in the dragon’s nest and somehow, nobody knew he was a spy for the order which takes a huge amount of skill when you are in a cult where the most loyal follower, Bellatrix, is a master of legilimency (a spell that allows you to delve into someone’s mind). For seven years, he has been protecting Harry Potter without any of the followers that was a member of Hogwarts staff ever noticing. He shielded the Golden trio with his body, without a wand, from a werewolf that was also his school bully. He also sacrificed his soul by using the killing curse—a dark spell that damns your soul—on Dumbledore upon his orders in order to save Draco from having to do it himself. He even made the unbreakable vow with Narcissa which could have resulted in his death if he does not fulfill that vow. Because of his status as a spy, he literally risked the scorn of his allies and possibly breaking any bonds he made. When he was the headmaster, literally nobody died. And he was a death eater.

Now, I haven’t read any of the books. And the last time watched the movies, I was younger than ten. So feel free to correct anything that I said if it was incorrect.

I have never seen a fandom grow so large so quickly as KPop Demon Hunters. I love it.

I know this is a blog, but I really want to thank @lowkeyed1, @peterbenjaminparkour, and @kenny-the-blink. I joined Revolorilution at a lonely time in my life. And they really helped me pull myself out of a hole. At that time, the Revolorilution community was really small, only a handful of us, but it was so comforting. I saw Lowkeyed1 and PeterBenjaminParkour as older sibling figures, even if that might have been a one-sided feeling. It was comforting because they gave off a really welcoming vibe and it was visible that they aimed for having a welcoming community. Still crazy to see how big they grew in my absence, and I still check out that server, just not speaking. Thank you, guys, for inviting me and allowing me to meet such amazing people.

Someone commented on a Jacksepticeye RE7 episode that they thought Clancy Jarvis (Resident Evil: Biohazard) was a teenager because of the way he spoke and his voice and how his silhouette looks like a regular emo teenager. And now I can't stop thinking about it. I know Clancy is an adult, judging from Google images, but just imagine how much more tragic it would be if he was indeed a teen.

Imagine if Clancy was a teenager that wanted some extra bucks and that's why Peter Walken reacted like that when he saw Andre Stickland brought in Clancy instead of his predecessor. And then he ended up being killed via burning to death by Lucas Baker who was probably a psychopath/sociopath that wasn't diagnosed—considering he killed a poor kid named Oliver when he, himself, was a kid by trapping him in the attic from April to May.

Clancy Jarvis somehow has my heart 😭😭 weirdest minor character fixation I've had

I just got an idea: what if a symbiote was injected into a human? Like, the actual symbiote, not like Anti-Venom stuff. IDK if this is even scientifically possible to inject a symbiotic creature into someone, but hey, creativity.

Anyway. Since it’s injected into the person, it changes their DNA and stuff and the body gradually adapts to the intrusion, evolving the body. So, their entire body is now like the Symbiote.

For example, if you throw something at the Person™, they could just make a hole in their body or shift their body to avoid getting it. Or maybe something like an arrow could just pass through because they have a goo-like body now thanks to the goo-like nature of a symbiote without a host.

They can maybe shift to resemble anything? Like, maybe their feet can shift to have skater blades, who knows? Maybe they can even copy the mechanics of wheels and have wheels for feet, IDK if the friction would hurt though. Maybe they can just snatch something from the shelf of a grocery store and store it inside their body because they have a goo-like body and they can just absorb it into them. They can probably shape shift now into different things or people! Granted, the people they shift into will have their own color scheme. So if you're white, whoever you shift into will be white no matter if you copied a black man's look or not.

You cannot change your genetic makeup...well, the color palette at least. And if you shift into things??? It's probably all black or whatever color the Symbiote was and you can't copy certain materials like glass because how??

You know how Symbiote hosts can swing like Spidey? Well, they can do that with any part of their body. Which...Symbiotes can probably do naturally since...well, since they don't have a limit to the wrist like Spidey does. Soo...eh. They're basically the same, except every Symbiote trait is now innate to them.

They probably cringe or just get discomfort from being under the heat or having steam hit their body. Not pain, but mild discomfort. It's when fire is involved that a problem arises.

And they are not allowed in loud spaces or they are in pain. Clubs? Nope. Parties? Nope. They would get noise-cancelling earphones. And because of their aversion to loud noises, they probably start becoming more reclusive and introverted, preferring quiet spaces.

Maybe because it is a symbiote that is injected into them, they still have the living creature but just in their head. Unless they wanted to make a head for themselves like Symbiotes do. So it is basically just a Symbiote, still in your head and everything, it just can't get off of you. Two different people in one body.

Also, maybe, just maybe, because it was injected...you get access to the Hive Mind. Complete access without even needing permission. That being said, since Venom bonded with Spidey which means Spidey's abilities are now in the Hive Mind which explains why Venom has a lot of Spidey's abilities—Person™ will still have those abilities. Stronger than Spidey and have Spider-Sense. Spidey will also not be able to sense Person™.

Thing is, when you do Symbiote stuff like stretching a portion of yourself like Venom does when he swings or grabs something to hurl at someone, it can either be the Person™'s skintone or the color of the Symbiote, it is generally up to the person what they go for. Usually, when shape shifting, they'd just shift their appearance and not change color during the process to be more subtle. Probably just subtly changing their features gradually to be less noticeable. But when they're doing Symbiote stuff, I imagine that their limb would become the color of the Symbiote so it doesn't look like they're a goo-like version of Mr. Fantastic.

“At a Distance, Spring is Green” is a K-drama that holds a special place in my heart. I think the way it portrayed youth—with its shadows and lights—was beautiful, it felt like such an introspective drama that made me feel something not quite nostalgic, but a sense of understanding and made me think of youth. I think a lot of lessons can be taken from this drama, there is a lot to learn from the characters and their philosophies and ideologies, and their growth.

I know that almost everything that everyone has been talking about when it comes to this K-Drama is the fact that it’s the most BL not-BL drama ever, or how it should be a BL. But, as for me, I don’t really care that it isn’t a BL and I’m a huge fujoshi. I admit, I think that adding an LGBT plotline to it can add a lot more, there is a lot to explore in an LGBT plotline especially being in a conservative country like Korea and having Yeo Jun’s circumstances. But, “At a Distance, Spring is Green” is more than that.

It’s a story about falling in love, about being young, about learning to let go, about friendships, about family, about the light at the end of the tunnel, about the darkness in each of us, about forgiveness, about moving on, about finding happiness, about life circumstances. It’s not just about romance. It is inherently more than that. Honestly, it’s very underrated and I hope more people can watch it and enjoy the nuances of it and the messages that each character can dish out.

I think the team did such a fantastic job at portraying youth. And a lot of the dialogues have made me think about things.

So, hopefully, people start watching it.

I’m really sad that, since Beautiful Audrey isn’t a famous Korean movie, the soundtrack doesn’t have lyrics on YouTube.

If you like Park Ji-Hoon from “Weak Hero Class 1 & 2” or “At a Distance, Spring is Green”, then you should watch Beautiful Audrey.

Songs from Beautiful Audrey that I really liked:

“My Name” - Mother’s (Kim Jung-Nan) theme [singer unknown]

“I'm Sorry” Ji-Eun’s (Kim Bo-Young) theme, song to her mother [Singer : Kim Seohyun]

“I'm Sorry” English Version

[dwoality2123]

Why is no one writing a fanfic about Su-ho reading all of the messages that Si-Eun left when he was in a coma?

Imagine an older child—not even a child, someone in their 20s—and they have a younger sibling that they resent for committing no sin but one: being born.

That's their sin, their younger sibling's sin. It isn't a sin, to be born, but it is a sin for the older sibling. Because that child has the love of a mother—a different mother from the older sibling's mom.

Because the older sibling's mom was a tyrant, a monster under the guise of a beautiful woman. Her shadow had horns and a tail, a flame to burn the soul of the older sibling. They did everything for their mother: took care of her as a child as if they were the adult, they killed themselves trying to be the best of the best, straight A's and top marks. But it wasn't enough. They did everything, they even sold their body (in every what way you like) just to get to a point that they think their mother would finally acknowledge and be proud of.

It never came.

And years later, the older sibling meets a child with their mother's eye shape and nose and lips and cheeks and hair (maybe not in the way it was biologically structured, but in the way that was taken care of by their mother, the same techniques and mannerism). But in their eyes were kindness and love and care and perhaps every positive thing to exist. The eyes of the older sibling wasn't like that. It was tired, forlorn, miserable, empty.

This was a child from a different mother. A different mother who had the same face as their mother did, but with every positive thing poured on her. Their mother was abusive and neglectful, in all the ways one could be. The younger sibling's mother was a radiant 36 year old. That wasn't their mother. Even if she had her face.

Dialogue prompts:

"I want to hold on to the resentment. To resent her 'til my last dying breath."

"I guess she still has me wrapped around her finger."

"It's not fair, no. That I have to suffer the crossfire between the mom in your past and my mom now. But the world isn't fair, isn't it? I want my older sibling just as much as you wanted your mother."

"I have the mother you wished for, but I still long for the love of my older sibling like they wanted the love of my mother."

"I think it was brave of her; it was brave of her to let my younger sibling meet me, knowing that I was the sin of her past, the reminder of her mistakes, and the proof of her monstrosity. She let her youngest child see that, because they wanted to meet their older sibling, and she loved her youngest. She bore herself, risked losing what she loved, because she loved them."

"I wish you were never born. I wish you would kill yourself. But that wouldn't do anything. That'll just make me regret my words and make your mother grieve. So there's nothing we can do, but live and move forward, even if we can never cross paths again."

"Maybe, in the future, we can meet again and we'll be happy. But maybe, it's better if the two of you don't exist for me, and I don't exist for you."

"I hate you as much as an older sibling should love their younger one. I don't know how to stop hating you. I don't think I ever will."

"No, we don't. We don't have the same mom. Mine was a nightmare, yours was a dream."

"Even now, I don't think I could imagine a version wherein the circumstances were the same...and I'd have loved you as a mother should have."

"She's a great mother. Just not to me."

Father said, "you have to draw it out a bit. Like, making a line from the first letter to the next. Here, look. "Uuuuuuu-puh. Try, baby." The child looked at their father, in awe, in confusion, or maybe they just loved looking at their father. They turn back to the letter written on the whiteboard in front of them. A "u" and a "p" written. Their tiny hand raises to the first letter and they utter, "uh". A tiny dot marks its spot beneath the letter as the child points at the letter with their marker. The child points to the next, "puh." "Uh....puh." "Yes, baby, now draw a line from u to p." The child begins. "Uhhhhhh," the line is drawn towards the next point, its next destination, "puh. Uhh-puh. Uh-puh. Up!" "There we go!!" He littered kisses on them. "Good job, baby. Good job."

What are the odds of one sibling being really pale and the other sibling having a darker complexion?? Because Human!Twilight and Human!Shining Armor being brown and white respectively...IDK actually. Like, the art for when they make them have IRL skin tones. Then again, Twilight Velvet is grey.
