neon signs [masterlist] | myg
title ; neon signs [ drabble series ]
pairing ; campus crush!yoongi x campus crush!you
description ;
namjoon doesn’t think it can get any clearer outside of yoongi building a giant neon sign saying i have the absolute biggest crush on you but apparently, book smarts don’t exactly translate when it comes to you and your massive crush on min yoongi.
(alternatively: namjoon and hoseok try for three years straight to get you and yoongi together.)
tags ; college!au, fluff, idiots to lovers, they’re both kinda shy and also stupid dense and therefore terribly cute, both of them know the other is the university’s campus crush but neither of them know they themselves are campus crushes, best friend!namjoon, yoongi’s best friend!hoseok, namjoon and hoseok are the most patient and exasperated besties in the world
tracklist ; happening again - katherine li, something - gnash, first love - exo, dimple - bts, healthy - prettymuch

i know i never shut up about it but god i am still just. So Salty about how the show handles the dynamic between mayor jones and pericles for many reasons, and one of the biggest is that there are really strong overtones here of sexual assault.
a character who already brings to mind the Slimy, Shady Cis White Guy with Buried Allegations archetype:
takes advantage of the trust of someone who's doing something with him in secret--
(which will get that person in a disproportionate amount of trouble compared to him, if they're discovered)
--to catch him off guard so he can grab him, drug him, and do violent things to his body while he's unconscious; scars him for life in a way that is disabling and should cause a lot of ongoing suffering, which, like many other things that should have a strong negative impact on him physically or psychologically, the writers ignore; and dumps him there alone to discover what's been done to him when he wakes up.
specifically, he does this to someone from a marginalized group that's highly unlikely to be believed if they tell anyone what he did--and going by the fact that mayor jones never got in any trouble until present day, he wasn't.
goes out of the way to ruin the life of the victim and discredit him as thoroughly as possible, because he's a loose end and he needs to shut him up.
flees the scene and gets away scot free with this for twenty years, has a successful privileged career and is considered a pillar of the community in the meantime.
when his dirty secret, which he's been paranoid about finally facing consequences for after the victim has recently become a risk again, is discovered, it's a huge career-ending scandal.
is redeemed by the end, while his victim goes on to be the Monstrous Irredeemable Pure Evil Main Villain and also sexually abuse someone himself, which is played as horrific and traumatizing (as it should be).
more specifically, is portrayed as showing redeeming, heroic anti-villain qualities by backhanding the victim into a wall as hard as he can in present day.
me: hm. yeah fuck this

Guess who has two thumbs and showed the self control of a sugar addicted 5 years old in front of a box of candies by watching Absolute Zero already? (b ᵔ▽ᵔ)b
Ngl, I went in ready to like it, and I did. Most of the focus this episode was on Suansoon and it really gave Mix space to show us what he can do. I am already quite taken by Soon and his quiet demeanor.
This is a pace that works really well on me, slow and contemplative, so I had a blast. I took a few notes already as I went so here goes.
- I just said it, but I think Mix is doing a really good job with lonely, melancholic Soon.
- DVD renting places! Huge nostalgia wave here...
- Immediately putting down "Jonathan Livingstone Seagull" as a re-read for this week. A fable about finding the freedom to be and about reaching for perfection, with a second act that concludes on the importance of love? I see what was done here etc.
- Very very into that "secrecy" set up of the balcony where they can talk but not reallt see each other.
- "[Zero] is meaningless. My name means zero." Oh boy...
- Okay the whole G8/G9 seat little dance, and then the tickets to tell him he missed him?? Smooth.
- Of course in 2008 we had to have The Love of Siam. I chickened out a rewatch after My Only 12% but I think it's really needed. Not sure it's the best movie to show before asking out the boy you crush on tho...
- Ah yes, I am a sucker for hands and wishing stars so I am beyond delighted ☆♡ the contrast between Soon and Ongsa works so well, it's a pleasure to watch.
- I knew it already but man, that teen/adult casting is REALLY good. Also incredibly into the fact that "Soon watches the movie and Ongsa watches him" keeps being their brand 10 years later. Enchanting.
- That's a lot of grief once again uh
- oh NO not on the birthdays omg...
Yeah I am unsurprisingly hooked, this is exactly the kind of story and storytelling I enjoy, put me down as Not Gonna Be Normal For Even One Moment about that one 😔😔😔
