Rewatching W Two Worlds for like the 10000000th time, but I had a shippy epiphany/realization.

So in episode 2, when Oh Yeon Joo is leaving the hospital after saving Kang Chul for the 2nd time, he retracts his statement that if she’s a beauty, then any passing dog or cow is one (anyone can be a beauty).

Oh Yeon Joo tells him that he’s just saying that, that she knows he gives out compliments to girls, even when he doesn’t have any interest in them.

So, fast forward to episode 13, Chul gives her a genuine compliment, but when she asks him for more, he just lists off qualities about her (ears are in the right place, eyes aren’t too far apart, etc.). This is also when he tells her that if she calls him “oppa” he’ll shower her with compliments.

But, I was thinking:

What if he doesn’t compliment her because he doesn’t want her to think they mean nothing?

Because he is interested in her, in fact, he loves her. So, he wants his compliments for her to always be honest and not forced/potentially meaningless.

While I know that these two scenes happen at two very different points (one being original Kang Chul and the other being post-ret-con Kang Chul), I do still think this is plausible.

Especially since post ret-con Chul read volume 34 of the manhwa over and over again to the point of memorizing the dialogue. I’m going to say that while he doesn’t remember what happened in episode 2 as part of his own experiences, he is aware of the fact that Yeon Joo knows about this facet of his character/personality and because of this he is more deliberate about giving out compliments to her. There’s always a reason (ex. complimenting her cooking because it’s actually good, complimenting her because she calls him oppa).

Perhaps a bit of a stretch, but I think that we even see a bit of this even before the retcon? In episode 7 after Chul catches Oh Yeon Joo looking at his boxers in the bathroom, she asks him why he’s laughing (or while he’s smiling?) and he tells her that it’s because seeing her/seeing her face makes him happy.

Anyway, that concludes my random shippy thoughts that I apparently needed to talk about lol

so, watched ep 1 of the atla live action and uhm, imagine not wanting one of your main characters to depict sexism because you believe it doesn’t read well in Current Times, so instead you double down on the character’s obsession towards leadership in order to give him that extra edge. but in order to make that work u have to make his sister quietly obedient instead of an outspoken leading presence that has the potential to overshadow him. because silencing a female character in order to write out a male character’s story arc of unlearning sexism is obviously a better and less sexist outcome.

“So,” Grian says, “this is awkward.”

Scar says nothing. Scar had said nothing for quite a while, honestly, sitting cross-legged in the void and playing with the hem of his cloak. Or with the flower stems woven through the hem of his cloak, as it were. Lilacs and poppies. Grian had thought it painfully ironic the first time he saw them. Scar hadn’t. Not until now.

“So,” Grian says, again, “I can explain? I think?”

He can hear stifled giggles behind him, Scott and Pearl discussing the last moments of the fight. He feels Martyn’s heated glare between his shoulder blades too, knows that he’ll be getting an earful about taking his final life whenever the fourth winner can get his hands on him, but at least Martyn’s been kind enough to leave him at the mercy of the fifth for now. Or not kind enough, as it were. Whether or not Scar has any mercy for him is an open question.

“Explain what,” Scar says. It’s not a question, which is just as well, since Grian doesn’t really have an answer.

Can he explain?

“Well,” he says, “there’s these death games.”

The death games he technically started, and then technically couldn’t stop. The death games that weren’t meant to be blood sacrifices, but probably count as happening on somebody’s altar. The death games that no one ever wins, but technically–

“Technically, the people who win them get to keep their memories.” He scrunches up his nose. “Or, uh, recover their memories of the previous ones, I suppose. Which is what’s happening to you. And Martyn, and Pearl, and Scott, and I was the first, so–”

“One heck of a headache, right?” Pearl yells behind them. “Was even for me, and you’ve got four whole timelines to deal with!” She flops backwards onto the floor, which is the void, pressing the back of the palm to her forehead theatrically even as she peers up at Scar through parted fingers. Scott rolls his eyes and grabs her hand.

“Give them a moment, Pearl,” Grian hears him whisper. “I know you weren’t there for Third Life, but I’ve explained it to you a dozen times, so–“

“So,” Scar says. “Third Life was real.”

It’s a strange way of putting it for someone who hadn’t remembered it at all until now.

“That’s a strange way of putting it for someone who hadn’t remembered it at all until now,” Grian says, because he’s always loose-tongued after dying. Scar stares at him, unblinking.

“That’s a strange way of thinking for someone who declared the first ever game a double victory,” he says. His head is tilted to the side.

Grian stares back.

“That didn’t count.”

“It didn’t not.”

“You didn’t remember until now.”

“I didn’t not.”

“That makes no sense.”

“Doesn’t it?” Scar shrugs. He plucks a flower from between the dark threads. It’s a poppy. “No less than the rest of it. No less sense than me waking up with sand between my toes, or burns on my arms, or bamboo in my pockets. No less than the dreams. Those didn’t make sense either.”

“It’s not like you ever asked me to explain.”

“Would you have?”

“Not the point.”

“Isn’t it?”

Pearl is still giggling. Martyn is still staring. Scott is quiet.

“Maybe it is,” Grian admits, quietly. It’s not an apology. It never will be.

Nor is it forgiveness, when Scar leans forward to tuck the poppy behind his ear. Nor will it ever be.

Sure feels like it sometimes though.

I just noticed another Mikio/Taigen parallel.

The end of this relationship is Mizu throwing a knife at Mikio (what he thought he was teaching them), which kills him.

Awaiting the tea party with Heidi Shindo, Mizu and Taigen sort of start to bond. Mizu throws a chopstick back at him, reminiscent of Mikio’s death.

But Taigen catches it.

I feel like this symbolises the two men’s very different reactions to Mizu’s true nature and fighting ability. Mikio is caught off guard by it, Taigen is able to match it. It’s why Mikio leaves Mizu, and it’s why Taigen follows Mizu. It leads Mikio to cast Mizu aside, it leads Taigen to respect Mizu. Mikio calls Mizu a monster for it, Taigen admits Mizu is better than him.

It’s such a small thing, but it feels like Mizu goes “this is me”, and it’s Mikio’s downfall, but Taigen *catches* it.

Could also be nothing, but my brain went brr.
