Not enough words to convey my appreciation for her beauty 🤩⭐️😍❤️‍🔥

mikey bringing his daughter on stage and picking her up and showing the crowd to her and her just gazing back at the crowd while ray plays the outro to kids from yesterday and frank and gerard and all of them share the biggest smiles.

they made it. the kids from yesterday have kids of their own and they are all there together showing their kids all they made out of the love they have for each other and for the world and, now, for them.

I swear I talked about a labyrinth au before, but I can’t find the post.

I would love to see a Labyrinth Au with twst.

Malleus being Jareth, the Goblin King/King of Briar Valley. (Fae are known for kidnapping children after all)

YN wishing baby human Grim away 😂😂

YN trying to get baby Grim back while running through the Briar Valley equivalent of the Labryrinth.

Shenanigans ensures, and of course there’s the magical ballroom scene between YN and Malleus.

And then that scene happens with YN and Malleus, “Love me, fear me, and do as I say and I will be your slave.”

Of course, YN gets baby grim back.

But I like to believe YN and Malleus’ story continues beyond this encounter into a more happy ending for them both.

(Edit: Lilia, Silver, and Sebek can be…the dancing goblins/fae that play with baby grim 🤣🤣🤣)

one time i was talking about sophomore year with a friend and we were talking about our favorite scenes from the forest. and i was like “oh my GOD that one scene where fabian has to—wait…” and had to stop and think. and it was not canon it was his scene from o&t. thought you’d like to know that lol.

HELLO. this is the best thing ive ever heard... i like knowing this so much.. o&t can be canon if you want it to be. take my hand.

i will say though that while i understand wanting morty to be rewarded just once for daring to be curious and deal with the consequences after (the best he can. even if there's very little he's able to do that will affect the grand scheme of things and it's his grandpappy doing most of the heavy lifting anyway, science-wise i mean).. i don't know how someone could watch this show and expect a simple optimist message at any point ? like finding some of rick and morty comforting doesn't mean it's an objective of it to offer comfort, i think it's been praised for the opposite even, for finding a balance between a certain melancholy and stupid fun

the school arc to me is so good because it drags ciel out of his position as a powerful figure and literally places him in the shoes of the person he could have been. the circus arc ALSO drags him out of his position as big bad queens watch dog/head of the phantomhive estate but the school arc feels like a mockery of a future that never was. this is what he could have been had his parents not died. and even then its NOT because he will never be that kid.

he never was.

the eighth sense ep9-10

ok so this is very chaotic and long so everyone, brace yourself lol

After that gut-wrenching ending of ep8 we’re back in the therapist's office’s deep, underwater world. I love that there’s hardly any sound (and absolutely no music) whenever we’re in that office, it’s so silent as if it’s underwater, all is still. The sentence that sets Jaewon into motion, however, is his therapist telling him he’s selfish. That line literally pushes Jaewon not only to turn and face his therapist but to stand up and ‘protect’ himself against the statement. The only thing that can shake Jaewon is Jihyun (or the mere mention of him). He wants to protect Jihyun, but his therapist says he’s selfish for deciding things alone, for not considering Jihyun’s feelings, that’s basically the same as others hurting Jihyun. It’s an accusation of See? What you’re doing is what you want to protect him from

There are these lines that make me pause for a moment, giving me the urge to grip something bc 😩 Like Jaewon reasoning how he approached Jihyun first, what he literally says is ‘bc I reached my hands out to him first’ and I’m a weak bitch whenever it comes to hands (the mere mention of hands and I’m on the floor~) let it be holding, grabbing, not letting go of or reaching out and all their connotations so I’m just 😭😭😭😭😭 And now I’m thinking about Jaewon’s inability to see that he reached out first but Jihyun has been reaching out over and over again and maybe that only reminded him of this very first act, the one that, sometimes, he probably wished never even happened but what eventually saved him? (also, *vague hand gestures* it's a mirroring action-reaction kinda thing and I’m just *clenches fist*)

Not gonna lie, Jihyun scared me for a moment, being so inside his head and pondering so hard while walking with Joonpyo (like Jaewon’s vacant state got passed onto him BUT that’s another parallel so am I complaining? ofc NOT) friggin parallels and mirror conversations 😬😬😬 I’m just a shell of a person filled to the brim with t8s parallels now (should I make a post about all the parallels in all the episodes?? should I spiral into absolutely insane territory???)

As a viewer, it’s interesting to see Jihyun worry and actually waver (on a surface level) because of what Eunji told him (that Jaewon won’t even mention nor talk about him, like Jaewon talks about ANYTHING with Eunji… wow okay I’m sorry but this is too funny I share more connection with a roadside snail than these two did in the rekindled version of their relationship no.2) That scene shows just how inexperienced and young Jihyun is while simultaneously telling about his character growth and his response to fear (much like his final conversation with Jaewon about being afraid and maybe I’ll write an overall analysis about that, about overcoming fear in t8s but now it’s still just a scattered mess inside my head and I’m really not in any state to try and get into Jaewon’s head anytime in the near future so….)

I love LOVE the club room discussion:  ◦ first Jihyun wordlessly comforting Jaewon, not letting go of his hand, ◦ then shouldering all the blame so the surfing club can get re-approved, ready to give up something if that means, in turn, giving something to Jaewon, ◦ and then Yoonwon showing vulnerability – these are the scenes that make t8s so special to me… the buildup in this scene, the little things following each other that make Jaewon snap out of his stoic state to comfort a friend because he is a caring person and Yoonwon is his friend… these particles build on each other to push Jaewon to react, to move and do something (much like Jihyun finding - w/ the help of Joonpyo - Jaewon’s pictures and realising that Jaewon did not give up on photography and that fact propelling him to support Jaewon’s dream and giving him another camera?) It’s all action and reaction, some clear and loud, some like these snippets ready to get connected to reveal their final meaning

And I love that when Jihyun gifted the new camera the backdrop of that scene is a cluttered rock wall, all these one-of-a-kind entities of different sizes and forms backing them up from behind, when Jaewon is still at the point where he tries to piece his life together.

And Jihyun waits for him at a boulder that’s separate from the rest, where Jaewon joins him and then Jihyun gives him something precious and leaves. Jaewon stays there, because after everything that went down, much like Jihyun, that singular boulder is a certain and unshakable place. And he accepts what Jihyun gave him.

So when Eunji kisses him, Jaewon sees with his own eyes that what he does is actively hurting Jihyun because finally FINALLY he looks at Jihyun and what he sees is the pain he inflicted. It dawns on him, in that moment, that his actions are causing Jihyun harm, and that’s exactly what he wanted to protect Jihyun from. So he does what his therapist said and works on himself first (and I love how the creators play with/and portray time without blatantly stating how much of it passes)

Also, Eunji pls sit down and stop saying Jaewon is back in his right mind. He has changed clothes like once in the past 2 weeks ffs… Oh, but Jaewon throwing that same line back to her face?  I apologise, I wasn’t in my right mind yoooooooooooooooooo

When Jaewon said We’re done I was already cackling. Followed by the you’ve worked hard ...let’s agree that he was NOT talking about their assignment shdhgfhdhg. Another perfect establishing line for the following scene (also, Jaewon served in the navy?? he is  i n s a n e)

But back to Jaewon's road to realisation…Sajangnim is so real and I appreciate her every second I see her (also, like, everyone can be an oppa as long as they’re handsome😉). She literally beats some sense into Jaewon lol. It wouldn’t be the same if someone didn’t get boinked on the head with a spoon, that’s the sk experience~~~

The fact that both Jihyun and Jaewon were heavily led in the direction of finding answers by the advice of WOMEN *can I get an AMEN?* yes, I’m back at my women portrayed in t8s shit again

lmao I’m sorry but that Conan Gray song doesn’t even play for 0.3 seconds and Jihyun is already like yo Joonpyo do u know this song it’s so nice? hahaha but seriously,

I really like that Jaewon walks to Jihyun because walking with purpose is soooo powerful. He makes his way steadily and with determination towards happiness. He doesn't need to run, there is no need for that rush of urgency bc we always see these flashy and big actions portrayed as the picture of ultimate declaration (of yearning/wanting/striving for a better existence) when in reality, the quiet and sure things are just as valid, and often filled with more power.

The first time Jaewon unconsciously wandered (through roads he previously took w/ Jihyun) back to the samgyeopsal restaurant it made him smile, his heart led him there. This time however, he makes that choice consciously, he chooses to go to Jihyun and his every step is filled with that decision and with dedication...to pursue Jihyun and pursue happiness because Jihyun IS happiness to Jaewon and once his mind no longer fights it, going to Jihyun and trying is the simplest and most reasonable thing to do. The magic of Jaewon’s power walk is the conscious gravity of that realisation, of that act.

while watching the opening of ep10 all I could think of was t8s 🤝 tms: starts off teasing (the whole season) with clips that only happen in the last ep

If I’m honest, out of all the episodes, ep9-10 were the choppiest, but I get it, they had a lot to cover. There’s no swell, no smooth transition between the scenes, just a wave we climb and when it’s gone we hop onto another wave. Also, the experience of the last ep is akin to reading a c-webnovel where you get to the extras after the main story’s end… well, ep10 is all those extras combined:

◦ idk call me petty but Taehyung and Eunji are toxic people, I wouldn’t want them in my life for anything. Jaewon forgiving them is one thing bc it gives him closure but I hope as hell he cuts those two snakes out for good ◦ Jihyun’s dilemma of when was our first day (as a couple) is so ‘dating and romantic relationships in sk 101’ ◦ ily tipsy Jihyun, ily unruly Jaewon

I love everything @emotionallychargedtowel said in this post (thank you for the wonderful observations, your gripes are valid, I have even more lol) especially the bit about wanting, asking for, or expecting a certain level of care from the important people in our lives, Jiyun’s game, and the pursuer-distancer bit OMG THANK YOU FOR WRITING THAT!!! Jihyun’s game is my fav moment from the last two eps (closely followed by the opening sequence of ep10), it tells so much about his attitude and dedication towards their relationship

And on this note, I agree 120% with everything @emotionallychargedtowel and @jemmo wrote about the complexity of their relationship showed by the ‘twist to conventional roles' (and might I add, not just in queer romance but in romance as a genre too) Not me thinking about my post about Jaewon and Jihyun both actively romancing each other because for equality in a relationship, there has to be space for the ppl involved to move around, and at times, switch places (like taking care of one’s partner, be the one to woo them… then being taken care of, being wooed and so on) because it’s a dance where they take turns to lead depending on the situation because they both want this, because they feed into each other’s happiness.

Jaewon teases Jihyun, establishing again and again that he knows Jihyun is young, younger than Jaewon himself but he does NOT patronise Jihyun for it. It’s an indulgent way of acknowledging his bf’s youth while fully regarding him as an adult. And whenever Jihyun tries to downplay their age gap, whenever he puts them on the same standing with the casual slips of banmal, Jaewon is so happy to be treated like a friend, like someone of the same age as Jihyun. He doesn’t try to use his hyung status as leverage… it’s a balancing act, it is give-and-take and letting Jihyun give back and letting himself receive just as much because Jaewon appreciates Jihyun and takes him seriously as a person, not just as a cute younger boyfriend in need of doting on.

Then I saw this post from @jemmo and I’m !!!!!!!!

will you meet me more than halfway? 😭😭😩😩

Thank you for sharing that song and that particular line bc isn’t that what Jihyun did again and again, meeting Jaewon more than halfway?? Even at the end of ep9 he waited for Jaewon and when he saw him, he went down to meet him in front of the dorms. Jihyun took that extra step, once again meeting Jaewon more than halfway and ever since watching that scene my chest is so full

All in all, The Eighth Sense is a beautifully crafted, though evoking drama, full of passion and love apparent from its detailed and consistent plotline, believable three-dimensional characters, exceptional quality and cinematography. It made me kinda obsessed for 5 weeks and evoked thoughts and feelings I have not experienced since To My Star: Our Untold Stories. Everyone involved in making this drama deserves praise and an enormous round of applause 👏👏👏👏 Very well done 💕💕💕

Every time I think about Jevil from a more serious standpoint recognizing how sad the shit going on there is I want to rip my head bald.

actually when you trust your gut, follow it and only do things that truly resonate with you, all the right things will find you. the right people will find you, you'll fall in love with someone for the rest of your life happily, and everything will fall into place. quit anything you feel is unfit for you, change majors, jobs, get rid of energy drainers, do anything you're able to do to live a fulfilling life where you can appreciate the mundane and make the most of every day. don't feel like you have to accommodate anybody by following their advice, it's your life. this is a cliché, but don't be afraid to go after what you want. live so you can die satisfied one day. everything happens for a reason, the nova effect will bring you many blessings, close the old chapters in your life to make room for new, beautiful ones. just open your heart and be true to it. go after the life you want ♡

Rolling in the Graves snippet

“Morrigan has a new game,” Nesta said, setting down the empty bottle with a ringing note. “See, birthday brunch. If I drink tea or coffee, surely I am not appreciating my party. If I have a glass or two of whatever horrible thing they’re mixed by the pitcher for the occasion, perhaps I’m losing control.”   They’d thrown Elain the strangest ball Lucien had ever seen for her birthday. Filled a moonstone palace to bursting with flowers and sparkling wine, cakes and glowing lights like stars revolving the empty ballroom.   The only people besides Feyre and Rhysand’s immediate circle, with uneven addition of Lucien, Nesta, and Elain, had been the musicians.   A royal event, dripping wealth, waste in every direction by dint of sheer isolation.   “Is that why she’s always watching you eat?”   Feyre did it too, focusing in on how full Nesta’s plate was at family meals. Concern didn’t seem to stop her from laughing along when Nesta’s husband also involved himself to criticize Nesta’s bird-sized bites, highborn mortal manners showing through in stress.   There was no right choice she could make, under all that attention.   “I thought she just enjoyed my mouth,” Nesta drawled, tempting feature in question twisted pertly.

Less exhausted- wrung out by this night, by this day, worn raw by the truth of speaking to her, Nesta Archeron, wonder undeniable- Lucien wouldn’t have said it.   “All faeries love beauty.”   Nesta, painted in predawn, sharp and undaunted, defied the word in every direction, oversimplification bordering on absurd.

She snickered. “Particularly petty idiots?”   Lucien’s grin spread across his face. “Stupidity to seek only beauty.” And then, because he could, because if he didn’t, he was going to do something else unwise, he sprang to his feet and offered Nesta a hand, “Maybe she wishes she was the one feeding you.”   It wasn’t morning until Nesta’s bright laugh, unbridled for once, echoed in every direction.   Sunlight have ceased slipping from his skin- but it was present, alive in the moment, unrelenting and glorious fire.
