'Darn Abalone' by Oh Aesun from Class 3-8

[translated by me]

Day after day, abalone, abalone. Even as typhoons rage, it's abalone, abalone. More cherished than her own daughter, still abalone, abalone.

When she dives below, shouldn't she surface soon? Why then does silence stretch, leaving no news? Is it because the abalone hides, refusing to come forth, or because her breath falter, holding her under the sea?

Her dear child’s heart burns with worry as that darn abalone scorches Mother from within.

A hundred hwan earned by selling abalone. I would pay them to buy a single day’s rest for my mother.

My mother, with her aching back, my mother, coughing and weary. If only, for a hundred hwan each day I could let my mother take a rest.

"Then grow up fast. Grow up fast, and give me a hundred hwan every day."

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TANGERINES (2025) dir. KIM WON-SEOK There was a girl in the boy's life. All his life, the boy kept the girl's world safe. - Thank you, honey. You've lived a good life. A truly great life. - Was it all right? Was our time together good? - It was more than perfect. I was so wonderful that I couldn't have asked for more.

Rewatched some Nana scenes, and some of them made me tear up. It is the most heartwrenching stories that have a stab through your heart.

This scene left a strong impression upon me. Hoshino has always been a master of motifs, and I feel introducing Nea when it's snowing is mystical, and indicates his other world-liness. btw just went on a d.grayman binch yesterday, and the series is a masterpiece. It's a shame about Hoshino-wrist, but considering the amount of worldbuilding that went into this. I am in awe.

Highlights from my X re-read thread on twitter. Started from volume 4 and I’m currently up to volume 11 and will now be continuing here thanks to the bird app being consistently a hot mess! No real serious analysis, just funny commentary (though fun analysis posts may spawn soon. Who knows 👀

No one can ever recover from this

Yeah I *am* trapped too

I am a generation raised by CLAMP and this is what I was fed on on a daily basis

Do you see what I mean

(Being killed by the one you love is your biggest wish in the world)

That’s what I said by ‘after I learned of gay love elevated to art form I won’t settle on anything less’

I've been waiting for this series, for a VERY long time.

Maomao's reaction to medicines vs her reaction to Jinshi-sama ≧▽≦

I super love their dynamics 💕💕

quimchee is actually insane for doing this

Falling in love…

… is like giving someone a gun

and letting them point it at your heart…

But trusting them not to pull the trigger.

Watched Word of Honor on Netflix - and honestly I'm not sure how they managed to get this innuendo past the censors - very impressive Youku.
