Cutey cutey romantic moment because I need the serotonin. And a hands insert shot because I apparently hate myself.

i may have started something by accident

Bro told me that the red shoes are Fugo, and I said that the blue ones are Giorno. That's how the picture turned out.

I get that his sacrifice was necessary for his character but I just need a better closure.

[icaberries]

I really love their "doomed demon couple" moment

[icaberries]

Thinking about Jinu forcing practices to get that choreo absolutely perfect before pitching the boyband idea to the boss

[icaberries]

not to be a demon apologist and excuse the whole soul-eating thing but it was honestly so cute and sweet when the saja boys got the hometown hero treatment from the rest of the demons, they were SO proud of them like when someone from a tiny town becomes famous and then the entire town comes out to celebrate them when they come home

also very funny to me that celine and the huntrix girls spent most of the movie saying DEMONS ARE EVIL AND MUST BE DESTROYED and then the demons in question were just having a concert in the underworld and listening to soda pop on repeat and waving light sticks

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

Meanwhile, in another universe…

Also here’s a basic version in case some of the outfit details are hard to make out:

Jinu trolling from the astral plane ✨

[icaberries]

kpop demon hunters from the perspective of the fans is so fucking funny because what do you mean the biggest kpop girl group in korea is beefing with and wrote a devastating diss track about a brand new boy band that debuted like 4 weeks ago and only has one song out

[icaberries]

No bcus the implications of the Saja Boys are so funny like??? Jinu is the only one we've seen has a confirmed music background so did he have to research, train, style, and manage the group by himself???? Did he also have to come up with the concepts and the marketing or is there like a demon thats rlly good at photoshop? Or if its all Jinu that means he had to teach himself fucking adobe after effects and how to use tiktok. Also how did he even research how to make a boy group was he in the trenches of BTS comment sections??? God the more I think about the Saja Boys the funnier it gets

[icaberries]

jinu’s go to friendship invitation tactic aka how the saja boys came tgt? 😂

Free petting if you join my boyband! -Jinu

[icaberries]

✨ All together ✨

[icaberries]

i wish we got to see how the saja boys got together

[icaberries]

HII, this is AU where Jinu's soul was preserved in Rumi's sword and then he magically came back to his girlfriend. And cat missed him.
