wake up babe new @/puzzlevision tweet just dropped (22489 words) by onetacoes

"Make like, a twitter account to talk about how much you love Bachira and leave me alone," Chigiri jokes one day. "I can only listen to so many rants about his thighs before I go insane." A few hours later, Isagi is typing out 'puzzlevision' on a Create New Account screen. Surely this can only go well.   (or: isagi creates a twitter account to gush about his boyfriend, gains popularity and reveals his relationship to the world. mostly in that order and mostly accidentally.)

@aliceisathome

The Eighth Sense DELIVERED baby.

@bengiyo

I’ve been thinking about The Eighth Sense almost nonstop since I finally watched the first two episodes yesterday.

@candygalaxyyy

It’s 4 AM for me rn, I should probably go to bed because my sleeping schedule is a mess… but I’m dead set on understanding the timeline for the eighth sense.

@colourme-feral

Just thinking about how friendships are portrayed in The Eighth Sense and how you often stumble into a friendship with no idea about how it will end up being.

Following up on my post about episodes 5 and 6, here are my thoughts on the mental health side of episodes 7 and 8 of The Eighth Sense.

The Eighth Sense episodes 9 and 10: All we can do is try

@ginnymoonbeam

Was chatting with friends about The Eighth Sense and what we expect from the ending, which got me onto a broader ramble about genre and expectations.

I've been enjoying reading theories and analyses of The Eighth Sense ep 6 from lots of different perspectives.

@hanjiwoos

Was episode 6 real?

@heretherebedork

Until or unless JaeWon is ready to take a step towards healing, no amount of JiHyun wanting to heal his wounds or save him will do anything.

All I can think about it how we saw Uea realize that he still had hope and could still grow and heal because he was so supported by King and Jade and his aunt and his sister and the people around him and how JaeWon, in contrast, is struggling more because he doesn't have any kind of support system outside of JiHyun and his psychiatrist because two of his friends just want him to stay exactly as he was and any change on his part is met with mocking and aggression.

My Nightmare Ending for The 8th Sense.

JaeWon is trying to convince himself, in his heart, that he doesn't have a chance or a future.

JiHyun desperately trying to avoid being flirted with by a girl while his friend keeps encouraging him to be more romantic and JiHyun is just... quietly thinking about JeaWon, thinking about the bus, thinking about the trip, struggling to come to terms with not with his feelings but the sudden space from JaeWon.

@hvenart

While I personally don’t like hand-held camera work in shows, I think it works really well in the eighth sense.

@imminentinertia

I may have some feelings and possibly some actual thoughts about Hedwig and the Angry Inch's appearance in The Eighth Sense.

Today's the day when everyone is required to add their thoughts on The Eighth Sense ep. 6, yes?

iguessitsjustme

It’s been a few weeks since I binged The Eighth Sense and I have some thoughts now that I’ve processed the whole show.

@indigostarfire

A very long post of me rambling so I could connect the dots and map out the factors that led Jae Won to shift out of his deep depression and isolation from Ji Hyun.

@jemmo

ive been thinking a lot about age in the eighth sense, in terms of age gap and the roles of hyung and sunbae and dongsaeng and the behaviours they entail, and the label of the country mouse, and how, with the events of the end of ep 6, they are paralleling jihyun against jaewon’s younger brother with the accident and how I think there’s a crux at the heart of this that is jaewon needing to see jihyun as not his younger brother.

ive had this ramble bubbling under the surface since watching the first 2 eps of t8s, but talking to @heesulovebot and @bengiyo ‘s posts have finally managed to organise my thoughts, about why this feels so queer and un-bl, and i think it’s because, even though unspoken, the characters recognise this as queer too.

ive just been lying in bed, thinking about the eighth sense, this whole morning, trying to figure out and put together my thoughts and my conclusion is I just can’t do it.

@lurkingshan

On Jae Won and Pran

Am I the only one that did not interpret episode 6 as a straightforward continuation of the narrative?

@maxescheibechlinichacheli

The eighth sense doesn't feel like a normal korean bl.

@mikuni14

Little thoughts about JaeWon :)

@mineonmain

Who’s the Antagonist in The Eighth Sense?

@piganatur

actually what jaewon said in the photography shop cut x1000000 times deeper than the english translation of it

@ranchthoughts

The Eighth Sense has this way of filming where the background of shots are SO hazy and out of focus, and I love it

@respectthepetty

What is tradition?

All's Fair in Love

thoughts on the eighth sense finale?

@shortpplfedup

I think it's important to understand than Eun Ji doesn't even like Jae Won.

@suckteeth

At first, I was just happy my favourite director got name-dropped in the show, but then I got to wondering why this particular movie was chosen, so here are my (rough) two cents on it!

@talistheintrovert

OKAY. let's clarify some stuff for people who are confused: the entire episode is not a dream sequence.

there's something so inherently queer in the way The Eighth Sense is being acted and ESPECIALLY in the way it's being filmed, and the cinematography and editing choices that keep taking my goddamn breath away.

@trilliastra

jaewon is traumatized to the moon and back, he's mentally ill, father is an asshole, friends are even worse.

@usertoxicyaoi

no bc. like. the eighth sense is getting EVERYTHING right.

so i don't know if whether jaewon is doing this on purpose (i 100% think he is), where he completely contradicts himself - his words say one thing his actions say another -, or he "forgets" the minor details of his interactions with jihyun, just to make jihyun and him have a conversation or to include jihyun into one, but yeah, noticable examples are:

The Eighth Sense Ep. 1 Rewatch Thoughts

*lies down for a nap*

movingtoanewblogsoon-deactivate (Does anyone know where this blog moved to?)

I come here after going through the tag on Twitter and I'm livid because what we're not gonna do now is pick sides and blame it all on Jaewon by completely disregarding his trauma.

Wait! I just realized Aeri and Eunji have the same surname and this could be entirely coincidental or the show could have used that to highlight even more clearly the difference between them and the subvertion of the "women are always villains" trope in bl that it initially seemed to have reinforced with Eunji.

This part bothered me since the very first time I watched the trailer. The first sentence is definitely Taehyung questioning Jaewon about his relationship with Jihyun.

Please comment below if there is a post I should add!
