#epsiode seven

[colbyheartland]

So I love Dandadan actually because through those first seven episodes I couldn’t stop repeating to myself “Wow Momo is so fucking cool” like she’s such a genuine badass. My shounen senses were primed for her to just get saved over and over again, maybe just helping out every now and then but no SHE’S the one doing the majority of the saving. She and Okarun both feel like real people and they’re setting up a sweet and genuine romance that doesn’t feel creepy. The voice acting is also so good like she is SCREAMING out here.

Usually when an anime has two protagonists and one is a female she feels like a passive observer just getting swept along for the ride even when they’re supposed to be “tough” it fades away or they are made lesser to make the male lead look better. But Momo and Okarun actually work together!!! They both act like human people!!!! Including the ugly parts with Okarun’s avoidance tendencies and Momo regretting when she does lash out because she knows she’s in the wrong. And they talk about it after she does!! It comes with a healthy dose of “teenagers are kind of mean because they’re still maturing” which is normal and amazing to see.

This anime is healing something I didn’t even realize was broken when I found myself not having to cringe away from little moments that make me uncomfortable. There is a bit of fanservice going on (thanks grandma) and yes I get episode 1 starting off as a bit much for people but honestly, genuinely, did you think aliens WEREN’T going to try and probe someone in the Alien Ghosts Anime TM. Kidnapping humans and cows for experimentation is what they’re most famously known for. You are meant to be uncomfortable and weirded out by this episode. An episode that ends when she unlocks fucking psychic powers and blasts that alien through the wall of a SPACESHIP like hello??

Momo Ayase is that character you give a gun to if you want to shorten the book by half and the author gave her one in the form of psychic powers.

ᝰ.ᐟ tiktoks to watch to understand the vibe: who is ahn suha? one ,, two ,, three ,, four season 1 angst : one ,, two ,, three ,, four ,, five ,, six ,, seven ,, eight ,, nine ,, ten ,, eleven season 2 : one ,, two ,, three ,, four ,,

okay, so now in this drama, everything is kept the same as the original but instead, the main protagonists are yeon sieun and ahn suha, played by park jihoon and do saemi.

suha and suho are twins, suha used to attend an all-girls school til she got into a fight—her vs 17 other girls—which got her expelled and none of the other girls school would accept her, so she joined her twin brother's school. when she first transfered, some of the boys tried to flirt with her but her brother shut them down. suho was well-known in their school for being an ex-mma fighter, and suha was known to also be an ex lethwei (explained) and muay thai fighter, which is why she won her 1 v 17 fight.

suha got into that fight because she was fed up with the bullying that kept happening in her school—in a way she was like baku, but she was unsuccessful because she won the fight but got expelled. while baku was able to maintain eunjang and keep them from fighting. suha, suho and baku parallel each other. but the difference was, suha fought soley for sieun, suho fought for suha, and baku fought for eunjang.

during their first meeting, when suho got caught up in that fight with the baseball guys, when he was about to get attacked from behind, we were introduced to suha as she deflected the bat that was aimed at suho, in the process she pushed sieun's desk making his pencils fall. when she sat back down to her seat, she looked at the person who sat behind her—yeon sieun, staring at her, when she stared back, suho pointed out that it was her fault his stuff was on the floor, she apologised and set them back on his table. while suho and suha were bickering about lunch, suho who dragged a chair to suha's desk, sieun from behind just stared—eyes flickering between the twins.

suha is a natural flirt—she would keep flirting with sieun, while suho would just look at her in disgust. sieun would just blankly stare at her. he would often judge the twins as they stuffed their face with food or when they bickered constantly, quietly telling them they were too loud. and sieun would keep the lights off in the morning when he saw suho and suha sleeping in the classroom. and when beomseok ran to suha, asking her to help sieun, she did so immediately, suho tried to stop her saying it's none of her business. but being stubborn, she brushed him off and followed beomseok. suho reluctantly followed, worrying for his twin.

and when the twins went to work at the restaurant, suha pulled sieun aside to clean up his wounds, suho'd just shook his head at them—bickering with her saying how she was slacking off. when the four of them were eating, while beomseok eagerly copied suho, suho made another wrap and shoved it in suha's mouth, prompting her to complain that he hadn't washed his hands, and she made sieun a wrap before feeding him it without thinking.

another moment between sieun and suha was when she complain how chapped sieun's lips were, so she made him sit on the desk, while she applied her chapstick on his lips, getting so close he could feel her breath on his face. sieun just intently stared at her face being so close. and when she locked eyes with him, and saw that his eyes flickered down to her lips, time froze for them. with her standing between his legs, him looking up at her with those eyes— well before suho interrupted them. or the scene when sieun ran off to follow the guy, and suha instinctively followed him, and when it came to— suha exhaustedly exclaimed how crazy he was and why would he follow him, sieun just simply said with labored breathing 'you came', that only made suha scoff and smile, joking how he was taking advantage of their friendship now.

or the moment when suha and suho were on his motorbike, and they ran into sieun on the bus—suho made a comment of how they kept running into each other and that sieun and suha must have been married in a past life. which made her slap his back, mumbling to not make sieun uncomfortable. but suho noticed the looks sieun would give suha, there was something soft in his eyes when he looked at her. like how there was slight amusement in his eyes when she ate, or when he let her borrow his gym uniform when she sweat through her uniform.

(tiktok — imagine instead of suho it's suha)

and or the first time they ran into each other was when she—literally ran into him. she was on her morning run to school (while suho was still at the part time job), she didn't notice him and she ran directly into sieun, causing her to cage sieun against the wall, and they just stayed like that while staring intently into each other eyes—entranced, until sieun suddenly blinked and asked 'what are you doing?' his voice softened, which shocked him at how soft he sounded—and didn't go unnoticed by her. suha, snapping out of her daze quickly apologized, clearly flustered stepping back and rushing off before sieun could say anything else.

and during the hospital visit, when suho was in the hospital bed and sieun had brought him food, suha made a joke teasing suho, which made sieun crack a smile. the twins completely froze—mid fight stared in disbelief that—not only was he smiling but also laughing, he couldn't hide his amusement anymore. suha—who was still staring with hearts in her eyes made a comment that he looked more handsome when he smiled, which he surprisingly flirted back mumbling 'it's only for you', which the twins caught, and suho stared at them suspiciously and accusatoryingly (? is that a word). suha loudly denied it, which made her more suspicious to suho, while sieun didn't answer the question.

but at the end of the series, suha was the one who got hurt. she found the people who hurt sieun and went to return the pain but when she arrived, she was faced with cowards who couldn't fight with their own fists but used weapons—she was scared but she fought them anyways, for sieun, and she was winning but thats when someone attacked her from behind, hitting her on her head with a dumbell. she staggered back, clearly with a concussion, her distracted state allowed someone to stab her.

she looked down to see that there was a knife in her, when she looked up she made eye contact with beomseok who was watching with a shocked expression, because he didn't plan for them to use a knife. she coughed up blood as she breathless spoke to him directly —'beomseok-ah, you really crossed the line' before collapsing and clutching her wound as she bled out, hitting the floor hard. her last moments before she went unconscious was suho coming into view— he ran to her holding her face in his hands, with a frantic look on his face, she could only slightly hear him yelling for her not to close her eyes. but she could not fight the pain anymore. and suho with his twin's blood on his hands, was too distraught to realise beomseok had appeared behind him, and when he turned around it was too late to stop the small dumbell that was hurled at his head.

however, although suho recovered with a minor conussion—his twin suha wasn't so lucky. she was comatosed—fighting for her life. suho—although still recovering would sit in her room, never leaving. only when the nurses and doctor had to physically drag him back to his room for his own recovery, did he leave her. he could still see her blood on his hands, even though they had washed it off him ages ago. their grandmother tried her best to cheer him up. but suha was his twin—the face he always saw, the eyes that always stared back at him with mischief—never opened again. he would quietly beg her to open her eyes and yell at him—bicker with him—hit him like she always does. but she was so still, breathing slow and faint. they had almost lost her so many times. the doctor said that if they weren't found when they were, suha would have died. yes suho was injured, but he'd survive, as his concussion was minor, as beomseok had mostly missed with the dumbell— but with suha's physically damage from the hit and the stab wound, she would have bled out.

but the one who suffered the most was sieun. the last time they met was when she went to check up on him, and noticing that he got hurt, even though he tried to hide his injuries—it pissed her off and she wanted to hurt the people who did that to him. and when she directly told him she would fight them— he tried to stop her, saying he didn't want her to get hurt. she simply smiled at him for the last time before joking that 'she doesn't get hurt' and to trust in her.

if he had known that was the last time she would look at him, he would have fought harder for her to stay.

when he visited her after he had beat up the guys that hurt her and beomseok—suho wasn't there, but their grandmother was there. she already knew who he was, revealing that suha talks about him often. even teasing him that she believed suha liked him, before leaving the room to find suho. sieun just sat and stared her unconsious form. he held her hands as he cried. apologising, blaming himself for what happened—when he heard suho behind him call him an idiot. when he turned to see suho standing in the doorway, still holding on the the iv pole and hospital gown, he inhaled shakily. sieun was going to reiterate this apology when suho cut him off— 'you idiot', suho stood beside suha's bed and quietly scolded sieun that suha wouldn't let him take all the blame.

suho then revealed that he heard about what sieun had done, and that he would probably be expelled from their school. suho also told sieun that his grandmother was making him take a break from school and his part-time jobs— to look after suha and recover.

and that was sort of the last time sieun saw suho for a while.

during season 2, whenever sieun would visit suha, he didn't see suho. but suho's name would be all over the visitor logs. and sieun would overhear the nurses mentioning suho, saying how he was a regular visitor—that he would visit every other day, and so sieun would visit suha on the days where suho wasn't there. because he couldn't bare to face him again.

sieun continued to send suha texts, even though he know she couldn't read them. until one day he saw the 'read' on his messages, he rushed to the hospital— only to see suho entering her room with her phone in his hand. sieun was to scared to see suho. he knew now that suho had seen his messages, and what was going on in his life at eunjang. he was scared to face him, because what would suho think? of how he got into another fight? would suho make him stay away from suha forever?

but suho had already seen sieun. he actually would see sieun wait outside suha's room to scared to go in. suho would mutter under his breath 'that idiot' everytime he saw sieun's figure on the chair outside her room or his name on the visitor logs— did he forget that suho could also see his name on it? but he never approach him. apart of him was also scared to face his friend. what was he supposed to say? he was so caught up on his recovery that he didn't know how to apporach sieun. but suho also didn't want to scare sieun off, so he let him sit outside. thats when he read the messages on suha's phone. he read the updates from sieun. apart of him was relieved to know what was going on in his life, and he was happy to hear he was making friends. suho also almost reached out when he read that sieun got into more fights—he was scared to death that things would repeat itself— but suho couldn't bring himself to send that text. so he left sieun's messages on read, a way to let him know that suho knew.

and when he saw a face he didn't recognize outside suha's room, he started getting worried for sieun. he was hiding in the corner when he overheard this person in an orange jacket threaten sieun, he wanted step out and confront that guy—suho gathered that he probably threaten sieun with suha, which angered him but before he could act, they had already left. when he was sure that guy left, he rushed to check on suha, relieved to see that annoying jerk didn't hurt her.

then the phone call came.

it was actually suho who called. in frantic daze suho had called sieun, telling him to come quick—there was a problem with suha. he didn't even register to himself that—that was the first time he had heard sieun's voice in a long time. he was too panicked as he watch the doctors work frantically on suha to hear the sound of the truck's horn through the phone.

sieun was so stunned to hear suho's voice but more so what suho was telling him. suho didn't even greet him, too distressed to properly talk to him. so when he heard that suha's condition suddenly became worse, his heart dropped—everything went silent around him. until the sound of a horn tore him out of his daze.

suho was so exhausted. the adrenline that ran through him when the doctors were rushing around suha, he didn't even have time to calm down before sieun's mother called him—sieun was unconsious from an accident. suho didn't even blink as he ran to sieun. he got there the same time as his friends.

as baku, juntae and gotak were standing infront of the emergency room staring at sieun's state through the glass—suddenly a voice echoed through the halls. the boys at first didn't even pay attention until they heard the voice mention sieun. gotak was the first to turn his attention to the stranger that was panickly asking the nurses where yeon sieun was. suho didn't even notice the three strangers standing next to him, staring at him curiously. espeically baku.

the boys slowly gathered that suho must have been someone from sieun's past. they had heard the rumors. they already knew that sieun has a friend he visits. juntae was the one to first connect the dots—suho was that old friend. the boy standing in front of them was the one that recovered and his sister was the one sieun visits.

there was a silence between them. something unspoken. the worries they all shared for sieun. suho noted the scrapes—he was suddenly was reminded of the past—he quickly shook that thought away to greet them. he introduced himself, before he could explain his relation to sieun juntae said 'you're that friend—the one who recovered—your twin sister is..' he trailed off, unsure about mentioning suha, a sensitive toptic to sieun so they assumed it would the same for suho as well.

the four of them waited in silence as baku quietly cried—suho noticed and he thought to himself that they should know what happened. so suho told them the whole story. about the bullying, the fights, and most importantly—suha. he had a fond smile when he talked about her, he even laughed at the memories of the four of them, of how sieun used to pretend that suha's flirting didn't fluster him, especially since he never pulled away from her, or how sieun would tolerate the twin's bantering and bickering. he thanked the boys. thanking them for being there for sieun, even if he stubbornly pushed them away, and knowing sieun, he knew sieun tried to. he even joked that sieun has a thing about him that makes people want to protect him or befriend him—commenting he knew that first hand.

the mood lightened up slightly when suho would share stories at gotak's request. the boys would scoff or giggle slightly at the stories of how sieun would get so flustered at suha's teasing—they could visualize his reaction. but suho was interrupted when sieun's mother came to update them on his condition. that he was fine, and he was resting and catching up on sleep.

but what shocked suho was when she asked the boys not to be friends with him anymore. this was the same conversation she had with him back then—he was getting deja vu. when sieun's mother looked at him—he held his breath, it had been a while since they met. the last time they met was when he was in the hospital recovering and sieun's mom had visited suha. they didn't speak—she just quietly passed him an envelope and a basket. the basket had flowers and gifts for suha and suho, there was a letter—she had apologized and told him that she would cover all of their medical bills. she also mentioned that sieun didn't know that she was doing so and not to tell him. that envelope had enough money to cover his medical bills, suha's on-going treatment and to ensure he didn't need to take on anymore jobs. she left a small note of her contact—so that she could pay suha's medical bills in the future.

a while later, after baku had declared war on the union—when sieun woke, the first face he registered was baku's but when he glanced behind him, suho was also there. that was the first time they had made eye contact since their last conversation. suho heard sieun's pleas to go to suha, baku was holding him saying 'your friend, she's fine, they said she's okay' but sieun was insistent, he had to see her state himself. sieun continued to weakly struggle against baku's hold until suho spoke—his voice cut through sieun's desperate trance. suho put his hand on his shoulder—directing sieun's attention to him, 'she's better now. suha's okay i promise you sieun-ah' sieun's breath caught in his throat, his eyes welling up with tears, finally letting out a relieved breath. he had to hear it from suho to trust that suha was okay. he placed his hand on suho's, which were still on his shoulder. he needed to ground himself. suho's voice had already brought him back to reality, suho's presence reassured him.

baku could only sit there and watch them. the unspoken bond between old friends who have been through so much. the lingering presence of another person still haunting them. he could feel the air around them was heavy but it was warm. the air that was circluating the room was heavy with the weight of almost losing someone dear, whether that someone dear was sieun or suha—baku wasn't sure but he knew that to this new friend, suho—almost loosing both his friend and his twin sister in a span of a few hours still weighed heavy on him. suho and baku had briefly conversated throughout the week that sieun was still asleep. baku had learned more about their past— and suho had become apart of their little group. he fit in well. but they all knew that not until the union was defeated, none of them could relax.

suho offered to help with the fight, even coming with them to the location— saying how he wanted to help them, even if he didn't know them for long, 'friends of sieun are a friends of mine' and 'it's what suha would have done' but sieun firmly forbid him to even be there. juntae also declined the offer, gotak expressing that this was eunjang's fight, and baku joked that he wasn't a eunjang student so it would be unfair—which gotak said 'since when do the union care about fairness', which only prompted baku to boast about his 'morals' and 'honor'. so suho, who couldn't agrue—stayed behind, staying with suha as he sent them off.

it was a nice day out, when the boys were hanging out on the basketball court. juntae and gotak playing while baku and sieun were sat on the steps, and baku teasing sieun'. when sieun got a call from suho.

the four of them ran like their life depended on it. the boys knew how important suha was to sieun and suho—someone they grew to befriend and care deeply of. so when they saw that sieun suddenly botled away from the court, they didn't question it, they followed him—they knew it was suha and for sieun, they'd follow him anywhere.

when they finally arrived at the hospital, the group spotted suho. pushing a girl in a wheelchair. her hair longer, her bangs grown out, even though she had aged—without her permission, she was still just as beautiful. she didn't look like suho at all—if the boys didn't already know, they wouldn't have guessed they were twins. when suho spotted them—he came to a stop, causing suha to look up at him confusingly, they saw him mumble something to her, then he walked towards them, she still hadn't noticed them—too busy taking in the fresh air.

when he was pushing suha around—he had taken her out of her room to enjoy the fresh air and the sun's warmth, a break from the hospital's cold air. with suha, he was talking to her about their new friends and catching her up—like when the boys fell asleep together on the bus. that day he had waited for their return, but when their bus came to a stop, no one came out, so he stepped in—only to find them all asleep, leaning on each other, exhausted from everything. that first time they all had peaceful sleep.

sieun just froze. he stood still—unsure what to do—what to say. he took his sweet time taking in suha's appearence. her bangs had grown out framing her face now, her eyes looked tired but also content. she still looked the same. everyone had aged around her, their maturity was evident, and although she too—aged, she still felt stuck. sieun could see her inner conflict by the way she fiddled with her sleeve—his sleeve actually. she was wearing his hoodie. the hoodie he had left behind—in her room, the countless times he had used that hoodie to keep her warm.

his body visibly relaxed the moment his eyes were set on her. sieun was pulled from his daze when suho stood next to him, and baku had stepped forward—encouraging him 'go to her' and suho putting his hand on his shoulder 'she's been waiting for you' that made sieun look at suho, his eyes silently asking him if that was true, suho nodded faintly, reassuring him 'you were the first thing on her mind when she woke'. that gave sieun the courage to avert his eyes back to her. with a slight push from suho, sieun timidly waddled towards her.

(now listen to this song as you read this section, it inspired how i wrote this scene)

hearing the murmering of voices behind her, she recognized the presence of the person that was constantly occupying her mind. she prepared herself for when she turned her head to face him. she felt the world pause when she made eye contact with sieun. suha's eyes flickered in recognition at those eyes. those damn eyes. they enchanted her, the sole sight of him made her forget the rehearsed conversation she had imagined of their reunion. she took in his figure. he looked stronger, less fragile, he looked healthier—happier. from what she had learned from suho, she knew that he had made friends. she also had finally read the messages he wrote her, her heart ached —worse than her body did when she was stabbed, hearing the pain and grief he went through during her comatose state. looking at him now, he looked older too, which made her feel a little weird since she still felt as if she hadn't aged.

sieun finally got a good look at her. her frame is lighter, but mostly he could finally see her eyes—eyes that no longer closed forever. eyes that were staring right into his soul, he had replayed and imagined how this scenario would play out, but like her—upon seeing her eyes, he forgot everything he wanted to say. but his eyes softened, they welled up with tears that were holding on for dear life to stay in his eyes. he instinctively and breathlessly exhaled her name, 'suha-yah'. she felt the warmth spread through her sore body at the sound of his voice, it resonated deep within her. and to hear him call her name sent a electrifying shiver through her body, she gripped his hoodie—which she pulled closer to her body, and at that action he finally realise that she was wearing his hoodie. to see her in it did something to him, like someone was squeezing his heart.

'are those your friends i heard so much about?' as if she never was in a coma—as if they hadn't spoken for a year. she glanced behind him, catching each of their eyes, noticing that their gaze was flickering back and forth between her and sieun. she was so comforted to see the care and fondness in their eyes when they looked at sieun, that there was people who cared for him and people he was fond of as well. she only ever had one wish for sieun—that he wasn't lonely anymore. and to see that it had come true brought a smile to her face.

seeing her slight teasing comment made him scoff—he blinked his tears out of his eyes, he nodded. and in that moment, he saw the mischief in her eyes, the playfulness that they held whenever she would tease him.

as he stepped closer to her, she could tell he was holding back words, but when he finally spoke, his words made her heart float, 'did i keep you waiting?'— of course he'd say that, he always knew what to say to combat her teasing. she let out a small giggle—oh how sieun missed that sound, his body tensed at it, because sometimes he feared he'd never be able to hear that sound again. and when she smiled, his friends understood why suha was so dear to sieun—she just had this smile that mades you swoon.

baku was mildly stunned to see her, he knew she was pretty but to actually see her in person, the photos didn't do her justice. suho and sieun had shared with the others photos and stories of suha, and suho boasted about her beauty—mostly to prove a point about his handsomeness as well. but more so, they could feel the tension and shift in the air, gotak felt as if they were intruding on something,there was just such a special air around them—they just had something deep going on, as if the air around those two—the boys couldn't graze.

sieun and suha stared at one another, their eyes were holding a private conversation. everyone knew that now that suha had woken, their group could finally relax, with no threat left. suha was safe and the union was gone. there was something unspoken in the air—the three boys were relieved for suho and sieun, and also excited to meet and get to know suha— the new addition to their group. and suha already felt that fluttering feeling of being with sieun again, and amusement of her approaching friendship with the other three boys.

BEHIND THE SCENES

whc season one behind the scenes:

whc season two behind the scenes:

ᝰ.ᐟ during their appearance on showterview, jihoon and saemi shared that hyunwook is not similar to suho at all, he's really like a little brother whos clingy. jihoon said that hyunwook acts like a baby and would cling and try to kiss him, while saemi revealed that hyunwook would follow her around on set like a little chick, that he would whine and pout 'noona' constantly. 'i think i heard —noona, noona, noona— a thousand times on set'

ᝰ.ᐟ hyunwook was basically a baby chick glued to her and jihoon, yelling 'noona!' every five seconds (jihoon's face: 'please… just let me hold my gf's hand in peace')

ᝰ.ᐟ this was also saemi and jihoon's first public appearance together, they acted normal of course but hyunwook would lowkey tease them throughout whc1 promotions—foreshadowing their relationship

ᝰ.ᐟ and during the promotions for whc2, not only did everyone already ship the two—they had revealed their relationship by then, but they started to ship their characters. it is very much implied that sieun and suha like each other—even the director openly said that their are each others first love

ᝰ.ᐟ and during the whc2 press con(?) for netflix, the cast and interviewer and even the audience in attendence wouldn't stop teasing jihoon about saemi.

ᝰ.ᐟ asking him about his fiancee and bringing her up, especially also teasing junyoung who played seungjae, as he also worked with saemi for 'when life gives you tangerines' as 'yeongbum', her character's fiancee that didn't work out because of his mother—he chose being a good son over being a good husband. the interviewer made comments about 'yeongbum-ssi, sieun stole your fiancee!' because saemi's character geummyeong broke up with yeongbum, junyoungs character—and now in real life, saemi and jihoon are engaged.

ᝰ.ᐟ the cast laughed at the sudden reference and scolding of junyoung by the interviewer, the audience snickered at their teasing remark and especially junyoung's reaction, he pretended to solemnly look at jihoon—who was trying not to laugh, and in-character said 'tsk- i should have punched him sooner—wait am i yeongbum or seungjae right now?' he snapped out of character, as he didn't think of which character he was replying as. jihoon and the rest the cast couldn't contain their laughter at his playfulness. saemi added on to the joke saying 'no wonder geum-myeong had to broke up with yeongbum— i mean look at him! he's so mean! gwan-sik appa would never approve of seongjae'

ᝰ.ᐟ and then the interviewer would point out 'ah so would he approve of sieun?' saemi laughed before teasing jihoon by saying 'i'm not sure about sieun, but my dad already approves of jihoon, so perhaps—' and jihoon became extremely flustered at her blatant teasing and he started blushing and covering his face, trying to hold back a smile. while ryeo un nudged him also trying not to laugh

ᝰ.ᐟ and let’s talk about that press con moment, jihoon looking bored until—the whc1 cast walks in, including saemi. his face went from 😑 to 😃 instantly, his eyes locked on her, following her figure as she sat behind him, they briefly greeted each other by squeezing each other's hands before letting go. the interviewer called him out, ' jihoon-ssi, you've been smiling nonstop—could it be~?' which caused saemi to giggle loudly from behind him. and jihoon pretending he wasn’t just caught in 4k being in love, i mean how can you blame him? his fiancee just surpised him by participating in this press con. netizens rewound the clip approximately 500 times for “look of love” edits.

ᝰ.ᐟ saemi actually sent the whole cast of whc2 coffee trucks and a food stall and food trucks during filming. She sent a catering team and truck to treat the staff and actors of whc2, she sent them for three days straight— since the big fight scene took 3 days to film and had the biggest cast.

ᝰ.ᐟ she didn't just send them any food truck, she sent them bbq and meat food trucks to give them energy to film the fight scene, and soup to beat the cold and wet weather—she even appeared on set to support them

ᝰ.ᐟ she helped staff film behind the scenes, she did an on-set interview segment for the netflix team as well—joking around with the cast she filmed little interview snippets with the cast. espeically jihoon, who didn't understand that she was supposed to be the interviewer and was acting like staff during the interview—as he kept calling her 'yeobo' or 'jagi' which she promptly scolded him saying that 'no! jagi i'm the staff interviewing you, pretend you don't know me' and then he would play along

ᝰ.ᐟ there was actually footage of a third perspective of their interview moment—they were holding hands the whole time as she was interviewing him (with the caption 'our cute couple' and 'keeping their hands warm')

ᝰ.ᐟ in other behind the scenes footage, specially the scene where sieun and suha are reunited, as ryeo un, minjae and hyunwook were completely surrounding saemi in the wheelchair and harassing her—singing her songs—out of tune— all three singing different songs, or dancing around her, while minyoung stood there laughing at them and you can hear jihoon yelling 'stop harassing her' and saemi screaming 'yeobo save me!' she was so small and hidden amongst the three of them towering over her form—you could only see her eyes and feet peaking out

ᝰ.ᐟ saemi didn't even talk about her sending the catering buffet. no one knew until during the presscon, the director brought it up. when the interviewer asked 'is there any fun on-set stories anyone like'd to share?' and director yoo said 'oh! i would like to share something about saemi', and gestured to saemi, 'she would never bring this up but—she actually was the one to send the bbq and soup trucks for that fight scene, we filmed for three days and it was really cold too, so i'm sure the cast and i know the staff were very thankful that she sent us warm food and drinks to give us energy'

ᝰ.ᐟ after filming, she treated the entire team of whc2 to eat, she rented out a whole ass restaurant and meeting room to have karaoke and food and party and celebration for finishing filming! she did the same things for season 1 too. the director even joked that he only brought suha back so that saemi would treat them to a meal. yoo subin who plays hyoman and the director's brother, also share this during the press con —'yeah the party! saemi rented out the whole restaruant for the entire staff and cast, she also paid the entire bill' hyunwook exclaimed 'there was a dance battle between jihoon and junyoung too' —which embarassed them greatly, minyoung also brought up—'i think saemi noona also did the same during season one right?' he asked director yoo, which he confirmed. saemi was hiding behind jihoon embarassed by the praise, clutching his jacket as she hid her face on his back—he reached his arm behind him to place a hand on her head, patting her to ease and comfort her embarassment

ᝰ.ᐟ minyoung (plays juntae) and her would conversate in english and the other cast would tease them, like after they spoke in english, ryeo un would go 'oh! wow! hollywood.' in english with a slight korean accent— which saemi would response by lightly shoving him

ᝰ.ᐟ there was also a viral video— oh what you ask? of actor bae nara and lee junyoung twerking at saemi's seoul concert. her concert was right after the show had aired so she invited the entire cast and director, she had a vip box reserved for them. this was the same concert that literally every single idol attended. (since during this time, most idols had more open schedules— think when bruno mars performed, it was basically like that— idols in the audience singing and screaming alongside normal fans, and some idols got a vip section to protect them) idols like seventeen and twice attended

ᝰ.ᐟ since saemi also performed her english tracks, she got a really big stadium to perform, the whc cast were filmed singing along to both her korean and english stages—and during her concert she had segments where she would walk to each section of the stadium to interact with fans, and when she reached the whc section, she was in a fighting stance and pretended to fight with them

ᝰ.ᐟ and during this concert, the reason it lasted 3-4 days was because this was a special anniversary concert— where she performed her entire discography (which includes her western releases, which korean fans enjoy sometimes even more than her korean tracks), and so during the 3-4 days she would have breaks to freshen up the concert with game sections. and during the game segements, she brought the whc cast on screen to help, and took the opportunity to point them out and promote whc

ᝰ.ᐟ jihoon was there for the entire 3-4 day concert btw (we love a supportive fiancee)

ᝰ.ᐟ saemi expressed that during filming for whc2, she was so worried about Jihoon, since he put so much effort into the first season that his health was a huge concern. that during whc final episode— during his crash out, he cried so much that he passed out, and for the hospital scene (where sieun visits a comatosed suha) he cried so many times, til he couldn't stop crying and filming whc is overall physcially exerting let alone mentally. so while he was filming for whc2, saemi was constantly worried he would push himself too much —'I know he wants to give the best performance and he works incredibly hard for it, but I was so riddled with worry that he'd overexert himself again'

ᝰ.ᐟ also btw hyunwook was in her mv for 'ditto' and hong kyung (who played beomseok) was also in her mv for 'cant control myself'

SHUHUA ↬ drummer for 'dream on', as well as the queen of sarcasm. also became mark's 1st ever girlfriend after mark 'saved' her from a guy named lee know. broke up with mark after he moved back to toronto, however for some reason she also moved there... so along with jaehyun the trio formed 'dream on'!

HANEUL ↬ the unfortunate 19 year old that mark is dating, but she doesn't think that way. haneul is more than happy to gossip with mark about the tea between yeseo, jeongsob, and riki in her class. she also enjoys going on cute little dates such as, shopping at goodwill, visiting record stores, and getting pizza! puppy love is so real!

YIZHUO ↬ certified green tea bitch? certified mark hater wop wop wop wop wop. literally. yizhuo loves hosting parties, and knows everything about everyone. also works, like. everywhere? how does she do that.

CHUU ↬ mark's sister and tea lover (both the drinking and spilling kind) friendship with ten is (?) confusing to say the least, but ten always reports to chuu what is happening on epsiode 754 of the mark lee show today.

GYUVIN ↬ jaehyun's roommate, a young sophomore in college, loves listening to 'dream on' practice when they come over to perform, probably tied with hanuel for the title of "dream on's # 1 fan" also sometimes subs in for mark when he's busy. (doing what i'm not sure. man is unemployed.)

Creative Minds Think Alike

Episode One--Episode two--Episode Three--Episode Four--Episode Five--Episode Six (Here!)---Epsiode Seven

Featuring the Amazing: @sun-e-chips

Reminder! If the Content Creator doesn't approve of how I represent them, or their AUs/OCs then I edit my work or DELETE it.

It's not my intention to mock or belittle anyone's work. This series is supposed to showcase amazing creators!

AND I DO NOT BETA READ! JUST A HEADS UP!

Enjoy!

“I don’t really see how this is necessary.” I run to keep up with the tall councilman. “I recommended we focus our efforts more on—,”

Archivist #5 Zuid Refductin, with his hands folded behind his back and his hair slicked back into a low ponytail, looks over his shoulder to pierce me with his stare. His features where sharp, a long snooping nose separating his dark brown eyes.

“Afraid you don’t have any say in the matter, Archivist Ravenwriter. The Council has already decided.”

He faces forward again and starts his long strides again. His white and golden uniform looks so clean and pressed that it had to be uncomfortable. But he showed no sign of emotion, his features seemingly stuck in a permanent deadpan state.

I sigh and drag a hand though my hair. My nerves were shot and the feathers of my wings were bristling and puffing up. Archivist Refductin showed up out of the blue at my office. Saying something about inspection of the castle. Then he dragged me out of my mushroom with no other explanation.

I growl, “Sir…Even though I may not be on the council, I am still Head Archivist for the DCA Castle—,”

“For now. You are Head Archivist for now.” He turns a corner sharply, having me scramble to make the corner. He waves his hand dismissively, “The position shouldn’t have gone to you anyways. You are much too young. It should have been given to someone with immense experience.”

He places his hand on his chest, “Someone like me.”

I give him a strained smile, speaking through clenched teeth, “But it DIDN’T. And you cannot change the past—,”

“Perhaps…but I can change the future.” He muses, eyes glinting and his lips twitching. He stops abruptly, causing me to walk straight into him.

I grunt and rub my nose while backing up. I shoot him a pointed look, “What?”

“October is coming.” He states taking in the grandeur of the large entry way of the castle. It was more elaborate than the smaller backdoor entrance we came in and brighter too.

I nod my head, dusting off the sleeves of my coat. “Yes. As it does every year…”

“I could do without you sass.”

“I could do without you and your pompous as—,” I bite my lip when he turns his head sharply, warning me with his pointed stare.

I roll my eyes and start to tend to my feathers. Preening them slightly so that they wouldn’t stick up as much.

He nods his head then looks around the room again while holding his chin in thought. “The little…Halloween Festival is also coming up, isn’t it?”

“Yes, sir.” I nod again, crossing my arms, “It’s a major event for the castle.”

“Hmm…Is security adequate during these festivals?” He lowers his hand, raising a brow as he levels me with his stare once more.

“Yes, sir. I have many Creators with their Y/ns and DCAs who help out with maintaining the Castle’s defensive during festivities. No Trolls or Frauds ever sneak in.”

He nods, “I would like to meet one of these Creators that you hold in such high regard.”

“Well, before you RUDELY dragged me out from my office.” I narrow my eyes before pulling at the helm of my tunic to straighten it. “I was actually preparing to meet up with the one of the Creators who help out with the festival preparations—,”

“Marvelous!” He smirks, “Lead the way.”

I shake my head, crossing my arms as my wings fold close to my back. “I can’t do that—,”

He scoffs “As one of the High Council Members, you have to follow my orders. It’s part of the law—,”

My wings spread out as wide as they can and I bark out a laugh. “According to that law, as Head Archivist for this Castle, I have to protect every single Creator that resides in these halls. I can’t not bring a stranger, Council member or not, to a Creator’s room unannounced.”

 “Why you insolent—AH!” He flinches and jumps back, holding his arms over his head to shield him from something.

I whip around, hand outstretch and pulsing with my purple-colored mana. I blink and lower my hand when I take in a familiar face. I sigh and offer a small bow to the animatronic.

Standing there was a fairly small, seemingly wooden tiki bot. Their main colors being of a deep chocolate brown, their two round eyes being a darker shade. With slightly coral pupils, which turn into upright crescents as if they were smiling.

Causing Councilman Refductin to flinch and take another step back.

They also had beautiful, seemingly carved, teal-colored marks on their chest, arms, legs, what made up their nose, and their little head crown-piece. I always loved their Polynesian look.

And to top it all off, the little guy wore a pair of moss green swim shorts with a pink palm leaves pattern.

 I chuckle as the Tiki Bot doe a little spin that ends in a bow. They straighten up, shoulders shaking as they cover the spot where their mouth should be. Laughing. They look behind me and tilt their head, pointing.

I shake my head, “No one to worry about, I assure you. This is Council Member Refductin. He is inspecting the Castle today.”

The bot nods their head in understanding while the Councilman peaks over my shoulder. He eyes them up and down.

“An…An OC Staffbot?” He mumbles quietly. “I thought that they would mostly stay to the canon design…not—,”

“Come up with an entirely new ensemble? Please.” I roll my eyes, gesturing to my small friend with a wave of my hand, “Now apologize to our guest here.”

He harrumphs and quickly moves from his hiding spot behind my wings. He straightens the collar of his uniform, “I do not take orders from you.”

I roll my eyes once more before turning my attention back to the Tiki Bot. “How is your Creator? Okay I hope?”

They nod and start to sign with their hands. I activate my mana to better translate what they say, the Councilman copying me almost immediately.

-Creator is well! They are very busy planning and preparing for the festival. They sent me to find you because they want to go over some plans. Is that alright?-

“I would have to bring along old sour puss over here.” I jerk my head in Refductin’s direction. The man turns redder than a tomato.

The tiki-bot just nods their head, -That’s alright! The more the merrier!-

Refductin folds his hands behind his back, “Very well. Lead the way then.”

“PLEASE.” I press, shooting him a pointed look.

The tiki-bot nods their head again and jumps up to spin around. They head down one of the large hallways to the side. The councilman and I follow dutifully behind them. I smile, watching as the little tiki-bot skips and does a little dance while walking.

I nod my head to its cute rhythm, trying to ignore the stupid tsks Refductin made as he inspected the hall.

Thankfully the trip was a short one!

The tiki-bot stops in front of a pair of one simple door. Nothing too outlandish or having any special patterns. Just a nice plain door that strangely brought a sense of calm to my mind. I step forward and inspect the wooden mailbox hanging on the wall right next to the door.

The name carved into the wood was painted white.

“This is it?”

Both me and the tiki-bot look at him with tilted heads.

-What did you expect? It’s just a room…-

I snort at the bot’s retort while Refductin huffs. The tiki-bot pulls out a key from his shorts and unlocks the door He steps inside, waiting patiently as I inspect my boots for any sign of dirt. Once I’m done, I step in, keeping my wings close to myself.

Refductin steps in after me, paling as he takes in the room.

“What is this?!” He gestures to the eerie room.

Black polished tiles make up the floor, some fur-skin rugs here and there to provide some warmth to the chilling stone. Some pillars made of the same material hold up the corners of the room. The walls are lined with dark oak paneling. The wallpaper was old, some of it chipping off the wall itself. The color was faded, the baby blue flora pattern barely visible.

Long, raggedy, and old curtains cover the bay windows. Giving little natural light to the living room. The room itself full of Victorian style furniture, the wood a dark brown and the cushions a simple dark red color.

On the little side tables were small vintage lamps with stain-glass shades. The yellow, blue, and green lights giving the room most of its light. Music fills the air thanks to a brass phonograph. It plays a tone I’m VERY familiar with.

I hum the tone to the Daycare Theme while following the tiki-bot to one of the couches. The little guy claps their hands in delight while running off. Heading into another room off to the side.

“What kind of person lives here?” Refductin shivers as a cool breeze drifts in from some open vent. “A horror writer or artist? Some monster Creator?”

I scratch my chin, “Not exactly—,”

“Then who?” He crosses his arms and raises a brow.

I go to answer when I hear a few familiar voices.

“Oh! We can have a giant pumpkin filled with fairy lights and it dispenses candy every ten minutes!”

“That sound like a bunch of fun, Sunspot! We can set up some buckets around the pumpkin that way the passing person could grabs some candy if they so happen to miss the dispensing!”

A tall animatronic steps out into the room, a bright contrast to the otherwise dreary living space. His metal seemed to be made of stone. The material having playful patches of bright teals, yellows, oranges, and small bits of red that made up his feet. On his forelegs, forearms, shoulders and chest where patterns that seemed to be Aztecan in origin.

And like the tiki-bot, he wore a pair of swim shorts. These being a dark teal green and having the same patterns as his metal. Flower-like petals fan out around his face. Giving him his namesake.

“Yes, yes. But what about my idea for a haunted water slide?” A deeper voice asks, the body belonging to that said voice steps out.

“Moonie~…” Sun rolls his eyes, crossing his arms.

“What?”

Another animatron with darker colors and instead of a stone-like metal, this one had a more wooden texture to it. His shorts made of a red fabric with white flowers as a small pattern. But they were ripped a bit in the back part of the leg-sleeve-things.

His colors were a dark brown, a dark teal and a light blue. His metal’s patterns wasn’t Aztecan-themed but instead a Polynesian pattern. Much like the tiki-bot.

Then finally, the person I wanted to see!

“Sun-e-chips!” I get to my feet, smiling brightly, “It’s so nice to see you again!”

The creator in question looks at me, blinking for a second before they smile as well. They wore a simple pair of black boots, that look like they’ve seen better days. Their dark blue bootcut jeans pairs well with their dark green turtleneck.

Their long brown hair was done up in a high ponytail, with a small flower clip holding back some of their bangs.

“Raven!” They run forward at full speed towards me.

My eyes widen and I back up, wings outstretched, “Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa—!”

They tackle me to the ground and my wings poof up and surround us out of instinct to cushion our fall.

“Archivist!” Refductin shouts in shock. “What is the meaning of this?!”

Sun-e-chips pops their head out form my feathers. “Who’s your stuck-up friend here?”

I just plop my head down on the floor, sighing heavily. “Friend is such a STRONG word…”

Refductin clenches his hands and turns red again while grinding his teeth. Sun and Moon snort, Sun covering his mouth.

“He’s redder than some of our worst sun-burnt customers.” Sun chuckles.

Moon joins him, hissing slightly. He walks deeper into the room, scooping up Sun-e-chips as if they were a cat. And they didn’t seem to mind all that much.

Sun walks over and offers his hand, “I take it the tiki found you?”

I nod my head and yelp as he pulls me up. I rotate my shoulder and sigh, “I keep forgetting how strong you guys are.”

I dust off my uniform and wave a bored hand in Refductin’s direction. “Before he blows a blood vessel, may I introduce High Council Member Refductin.”

“It’s an honor to meet you, Mx.?”

“Sun-e-chips is my creator title.” They bow their head still held aloft by Moon, who looks very content holding them like that. “Nice to meet you.”

“Yes the pleasure is all mine. Now I would like to—,”

“So Raven!” Sun-e-chips wiggles out of Moon’s hold, grabbing my hand and leading me back to the couches. “Which would you prefer? A candy puking pumpkin or trauma inducing water slide?”

“Rude…” Moon grumbles.

I shrug, smiling as I take my seat. “Still caught up on that?”

They plop down next to me, sighing loudly. Refductin stares blankly at us while Sun and Moon join in the festival planning. Sun sits in the chair next to the couch while Moon sits on the armrest next to Sun-e-chips.

“Raven is obviously on my side,” Moon puts a hand on his chest, “A haunted waterslide will gather the most screams for the Halloween Festival.”

“Moon.” Sun deadpans, rolling his eyes, “We don’t want to scare away Residents…”

“Shh!” Sun-e-chips, turns their attention to me. “So what do you say, Raven?”

“Why not both? You’re already going all out this year, so if you need more supplies or funds, just say the word and they’re yours.”

I yelp when they hug me again, “THANK YOU! This is going to be AMAZING!”

“EXCUSE ME!” Refductin loudly clears his throat. Sun, Moon, and Sun-e-chips looks at him with raised brows.

“Yes friend?” Sun asks with a cute tilt of his head.

“I have a few questions regarding your life in this castle under Archivist—,”

“OH! That reminds me!” Sun holds his chine and looks at me, startling me slightly. “Will you be visiting the park again with your little siblings? It was so much fun last time!”

I chuckle and rub the back of my neck, blushing from embarrassment, “I-I would like too—EEP!”

Sun is quick to hug me a well, “OH I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE LITTLE BIRDIES!!!”

“Sunny~.” Moon snickers, “Let the bird breathe.”

“Oops!”

I gasp as he lets go. He even pats my back as I cough. He smiles sheepishly, “Sorry, sunshine…”

“I’m fine.” I give him a small smile and pound my chest, “Takes more than that to keep me down.!”

“Does no one here have any manners?” Refductin pinches the bridge of his nose.

“Sorry about the boys.” Sun-e-chips rubs the back of their neck. “They’re very animated.”

“I see…Creator?” Refductin steps closer, eyeing me as I let Sun play with my feathers. “ I would like to discuss the upcoming festival with you—,”

“What about?” They tilt their head and count off things while holding out their fingers, “We can talk about security, rides, contests, the buffet table, decorations, the weather, new attractions?”

He blinks at them, mouth closing and opening like a gapping fish. “That is…”

“A lot.” I shoot my friend a concerned look, “You know if you ever need any help—,”

“It’s fine! Everything is going smoothly and we should be finished with preparations ahead of time! And my Auroa helps with keeping my strength up!”

To showcase their point, they hold out their hand and snap their fingers. Refductin and I shiver as a building coolness seems to gather at their hand. A glowing orb of shimmering blue lights (looking like an orb of water) hovers over their opened palm.

I look over at Sun and Moon and see their eyes glowing the same color as the orb. They seem at peace, shoulders sagging as if a weight as been lifted off their shoulders. Their Creator, splits the orb in half and hands one to each of the animatronic twins.

They take their halves and hold them close to their chest. Their markings glow bright as they absorb the Auroa. They slink onto their seats, sighing happily.

I smile and get to my feet, Sun-e-chips joining with me. I turn to face them and hold out my hand, “I fear we have taken up much of your time.”

They take my hand and smile as they shake it, “don’t worry about it so much! I enjoy the company!” They turn and face Refductin, bowing their head a bit while folding their hands behind their back. “And it was an honor to meet you, Councilman!”

Refductin sighs but returns the bow, “The honor was all mine.”

I snap my fingers, remembering something. “I forgot to bring the blue-prints for the ‘Exploding Star-Disco Ball’! I’ll make sure to send a raven by later today.”

“No prob!” They smile, “Take your time. October is still a month or so away.”

I nod my head, “Thank you again for helping plan the Festival.”

“You know I love this stuff! And I have to beat last year’s Festival record. Me and the boys are going to blow it out of the water!”

Refductin pales, “Not literally, correct?”

Sun-e-chips and I exchange long glances before we burst out laughing…hysterically. Sun-e-chips doubling over and holding their stomach while I cover my mouth as I cackle. Sun and Moon snort, the glow in their eyes dying down slightly.

Refductin looks back and forth between the four of us, confused. “You aren’t going to blow up the Festival are you? Why are you laughing? It’s not funny…”

I and Sun-e-chips collapse to the floor, cackling like crazed witches.

We were like this for THREE HOURS…

And I enjoyed every second of it!

THANK YOU SO MUCH @sun-e-chips!!! If you haven't checked it out already, go check out their Waterspark Bay AU! The same AU featured in this episode.

I'm so sorry that this took so long Chips! I hope my writing is up to your standards! Stay awesome!

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day or night!

[randomness-is-my-order]

epsiode eight is turning out even better than i imagined, even better than i hoped for and again, i am only halfway through!!!

annabeth’s arachnophobia was mentioned and that too, in a great analogy of how gods perceive demigods!!

luke and percy’s flashback training with some real great sword fighting choreo and engaging direction & dialogue!!

percy coming out of the water COMPLETELY DRY!!!

zeus actually seeming god-like and genuinely threatening!! (rest in peace, lance reddick)

percy unapologetically and bravely calling out zeus and his ways, staunchly standing for what he believes in.

like every small detail we were worried about in the last seven episodes are being cleared up and look HOW. this is just so fun, so heartwarming and heartwrenching, a true rollercoaster.

[theborgqueen2]

anyway s7 epsiode idea where it starts with janeway in her cabin slowly getting dressed. we see her pull on her dress uniform, adding her pips one by one, her badge. then one long assessing look into the mirror and a deep sigh. she puts on a smile and then leaves her cabin. cut to the mess hall where people are already waiting. they turn as she arrives and they give her encouraging smiles but somehow janeway cant meet anyones eyes, her smile strained, as she positions herself behind a beautifully decorated table and waits anxiously. then the doors woosh open, harry starts a rendition of the wedding march on his flute and chakotay and seven enter. they stop before janeway who now looks like she's either going to puke or going to scream.

"We are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony", she starts and the camera pans around the room showing everyone smiling. then back on janeways tortured face. fade to black. theme song cue and the whole audience goes "What the fuck"

the rest of the episode is the whole crew slowly realising that no one knows how they ended up like this - it starts at the reception, them trying to retell the epic of chakotay and seven and everyone notices that they didn't even know they're a couple before this. seven and chakotay remember stuff like their first date or who proposed but seven is quick to point out the dates overlapp with several other incidents on board and therefore couldn't have happened. so they start to investigate but every time someone gets too far or says something along the lines of "Hey isnt it weird that chakotay would marry-" they get reset and we're back with janeway getting dressed.

needless to say that chakotay and seven dont share scenes after the wedding and chakotay follows janeway around clearly trying to figure out if he's going to sleep on the couch for the next weeks.

it ends with some weird alien species who were watching them for weeks and were intriguied by the concept of relationships and wanted to simulate some scenarios on them - getting revealed and after janeway decks them, reset the timeline, their memories and all.

last scene its chakotay and janeway in her cabin and there is a distinct "i know im technically not allowed to feel angry about something you were forced to do but that won't stop me from putting too much salt into your food" vibe but at least they have their dinner date like always. fade to black. end credits.

[aninamated]

Okay lightning round!! ⚡️⚡️

How much does it usually cost for you to make a epsiode of TEG

Can you give us any hints or ideas of who Xavs other potential love interest is?

Do you have ideas for other kinds of merch you want to make?

How long do you think it’ll take to finish the main story of the earth Guy at the pace you are now?

Did you ever consider pitching this show to a network or another studio before deciding to make it on your own?

Can multiple students from the same planet be enrolled in the intergalactic schools?

and seven just for fun

7. Were you once a miraculous fan?

Sorry if this is a lot, these thoughts have been floating in my head for a while 😅😅 Hope you have a good night/day! ☀️🌙

1. Somewhere around $200 (all money goes to voice actors)

2. It could be someone from his own planet, but I haven't quite decided yet how that'll go

3. I have keychains!

4. Hmm if I can keep this up... 3 episodes each year, we're at 5 now. That'll be another 2 years for season 1 then. I can't say how any seasons after would go yet.

5. No, I honestly never thought anyone would accept it lol ( and I am too stubborn to make an compromises for a network haha)

6. Yes, Zethana and Thadd being an example of that.

7. Haha, yeah I used to watch and quite enjoyed early Miraculous, but lost interest after a while

Hope you have a nice day too!

ok im back i watched the riverdale next to normal ep and its very good for a musical episode of cable tv uhhhhh idk if i could keep up with the 5 storylines and i also dont know why everyone was like "yeah we lost 7 years after we graduated high school" and there were some insane choices (of who gets to sing which line). and i think the most insane choice was to have betty's mom sing "not for me" because in the original musical its the neglected daughter singing that line bc she believes the cycle (of grief and depression) will continue with her but in this show that doesn't seem to be the case??

(yes i included that last sentence bc i know you eat up generational cycles in riverdale)

i think the most insane line change was jugheasd saying "i like you" instead of "i love you"basically the time skip in season 5 had seven years. the epsiode is SOOO for cyclees like jughead and tabitha saying in 5 years or ten we might end up like them. but anyway yeah the album was my most listened to album last year

[nothoughts-onlywomen]

so, if we can assume these are at least somewhat legit, let's discuss!

Chapter One: The Crawl - Directed by the Duffers. Post-apocalyptic Hawkins. we check in on the gang and where we left off in season 4.

Chapter Two: The Vanishing of Holly Wheeler - Directed by the Duffers. This is where the hospital filming comes in. The Wheelers (minus Ted) are at the hospital for some reason. I believe Robin and Vickie are there too.

Chapter Three: The Turnbow Trap - Directed by Frank Darabont (excuse me, the Frank Darabont? Green Mile Frank Darabont? SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION FRANK DARABONT??) Now I'm not sure about the plot of this one. But I think it might have something to do with that fancy-ass mansion they've been filming at.

Chapter Four: Sorcerer: Directed by the Duffers. For sure this is going to be a Will-centric epsiode. And Vecna will be involved somehow.

Chapter Five: Shock Jock - Directed by Frank Darabont (again, FRANK DARABONT? HOW DID WE GET SO LUCKY?) I have a good feeling that the radio station and station van that we've been seeing are going to have a big role to play in this episode.

Chapter Six: Escape from Camazotz - Directed by Shawn Levy. Aside from this title making my Wrinkle-In-Time nostalgia happy, I think this will be the episode where Max wakes up. Lucas and El are going to rescue her.

And chapters seven and eight are a complete mystery! Which is fine with me. It only heightens the intrigue.

I had a thought while talking with @presidentdisastraofgallifrey.

We know the next season of Doctor Who will have a story arc, because of course it will. And we also know that seven stories isn't enough to actually do a proper story arc from last time around.

But, hoping the Who Crew is being smart here...

They don't actually need to do that to have an arc.

Last season had a buttload of setup that they only concluded about half of. Sure we found out who rando lady was (which was. an idea not set up nearly well enough but executed really well) and who Ruby's mom was (which I personally really like how they handled that), BUT we still don't know who Mrs. Flood is. And we also don't know what the heck was up with the snow appearing around Ruby.

My point is that instead of introducing a Big New Puzzle, it's entirely possible that we've actually only seen the first half of an 18-epsiode arc. Which, like doesn't excuse how rushed the stuff from last season was, but gives me a lot of hope for this season actually doing something interesting. I mean I know where introducing the "Belinda is connected to that lady from Boom" thing, but that could totally be a part of what we've already seen the setup for rather than a whole New Thing.

Who do you think tended to be consistently the strongest and weakest writers on the Buffy staff? [With the obvious caveat that TV writing is collaborative of course.]

Looking only at writers who are credited with at least five episodes so that we've got a decent sized sample of their writing (and, as you say, pretending for the sake of the argument that each episode was written entirely by the writer named in its credits), our long list is:

Dean Batali and Rob Des Hotel co-wrote five episodes together, starting with Season 1's Never Kill A Boy On The First Date and ending with Season 2's Killed By Death

Jane Espenson wrote twenty-three episodes, starting with Season 3's Band Candy and ending with Season 7's End Of Days (co-written with Doug Petrie)

David Fury wrote seventeen episodes, starting with Season 2's Go Fish (co-written with Elin Hampton) and ending with Season 7's Lies My Parents Told Me (co-written with Drew Goddard)

Drew Goddard wrote or co-wrote five episodes, all in Season 7, starting with Selfless and ending with Dirty Girls.

Drew Z. Greenberg wrote six episodes, starting with Season 6's Smashed and ending with Season 7's Empty Places

David Greenwalt wrote eight episodes, starting with Season 1's Teacher's Pet and ending with Season 3's Homecoming

Rebecca Rand Kirshner wrote eight episodes, starting with Season 5's Out Of My Mind and ending with Season 7's Touched

Steven S. Knight wrote five episodes, starting with Season 5's Blood Ties and ending with Season 6's Seeing Red

Marti Noxon wrote twenty-three episodes, starting with Season 2's What's My Line? (Part 1) (co-written with Howard Gordon) and ending with Season 7's Bring On The Night (co-written with Doug Petrie)

Doug Petrie wrote seventeen episodes, starting with Season 3's Revelations and ending with Season 7's End Of Days (co-written with Jane Espenson)

Joss Whedon wrote twenty-seven episodes, starting with Season 1's Welcome to the Hellmouth and ending with Season 7's Chosen

Unfortunately for people who like to claim that being a good person and being a good artist are correlated, I think it's pretty much indisputable that Joss Whedon was consistently the best Buffy writer. As well as every season opener and season finale except for Season 5's Buffy vs Dracula and both Season 6's Bargaining and Grave, Whedon-written episodes include Lie To Me, Innocence, Doppelgangland, Hush, Who Are You?, Family, The Body and Once More With Feeling. You could easily make a plausible top ten of Buffy episodes without picking episodes written by anybody else.

It's true that Whedon has a very particular style, that his characters all tend to default to speaking in a certain way and that he is a lot better at mood and metaphor than tight, multi-layed plotting. I'm not sure this is an approach that necessarily works well outside of the show (as well as easy targets like Avengers 2 or Whedon's bizarre Wonder Woman script or whatever was going on in the post-Chosen comics, I should admit I don't think fan-favorite Firefly is very good either), and by all accounts he's a pretty terrible human being as well, but as a writer on Buffy I think his work is consistently very good. The worst Whedon-written episodes are probably the opening two parter, Welcome to the Hellmouth/The Harvest, Season 1's Nightmares and Season 3's Amends, and I think it's a stretch to call any of them bad episodes.

Of the other good Buffy writers ... well, I wouldn't be much of a Faith fan if I didn't mention Doug Petrie (whose best episodes include Revelations, This Year's Girl, No Place Like Home and Fool For Love), but I think his Season 6 and Season 7 episodes are quite a bit weaker. I'm not a huge fan of Season 4's The Initiative either.

Marti Noxon had as big an influence as anyone on the show other than Whedon, but 'consistent' is not the word I'd use to describe her. Her best epsiodes (I Only Have Eyes For You, Consequences, The Prom, Forever, Bargaining) are fantastic, her worst ... well, she wrote the worst two episodes of Season 3 (Dead Man's Party and Beauty and the Beasts), she wrote Buffy vs Dracula (which I know some people love but I can't stand at all) and she wrote (or cowrote) Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered and Doomed and Into the Woods (all three of which, I think, would be in the running for a list of the show's worst ten episodes).

I think Petrie and Noxon are probably the show's best two writers after Whedon. I know a lot of people really rate Jane Espenson's work, and I do like a lot of her episodes (Earshot and Band Candy are both very good), but she also wrote some real stinkers (Pangs, A New Man and ... again, Doomed). She doesn't quite have any real knockout episodes, for my money.

Worst writer is a more hotly contested category.

David Fury wrote (or co-wrote) Lies My Parents Told Me and Go Fish (and, not to keep banging on about it, Doomed) which is a pretty good claim to the title of "worst writer", but he also wrote Helpless, Choices, Fear Itself and Real Me and at least co-wrote Bargaining. So I don't think, hand on heart, that he can possibly be the worst Buffy writer. Certainly not consistently so.

David Greenwalt wrote (or co-wrote, with Whedon) School Hard and Ted and Faith, Hope & Trick and Homecoming, all very good episodes. But he also wrote Teacher's Pet, which .... uh.

Probably the consistently weakest writers are the ones who didn't really write anything dreadful but also never wrote anything particular amazing.

Dean Batali and Rob des Hotel's worst episode is the forgetable Killed By Death, and I'm not sure I could tell you what their best episode is. Never Kill A Boy On The First Date, maybe? I think I like that one more than most people do.

From the other end of the show's run, there's Drew Z Greenberg, whose worst episode is probably a tie between Him and Empty Places and whose best episode is ... uh. Entropy, maybe? And David Goddard, who only wrote for the show's worst season and who managed to cowrite Lies My Parents Told Me, easily the show's worst ever episode (and I am not as much of a fan of Selfless as many people, although I'd agree it's certainly his best work).

It's no secret that Season 7 is my least favorite season, and while I don't think Season 1 is objectively great, it -- and the early parts of Season 2 -- have a certain nostalgic charm I don't really get from the rest of the show. So I guess I'd pick one of the Drews, either Greenberg or Goddard, if I had to pick a single worst writer. Or fail to pick one, as it happens, because I can't pick between them.

Though I think the absolute best sign that an episode is likely to be a stinker is if it's credited to more than one writer, especially writers who don't normally write as a team. There are a handful of exceptions -- Conversations With Dead People comes to mind -- but on the hand you've got 'classics' like The Pack and Go Fish and Flooded and Life Serial and Sleeper and Bring On The Night and Lies My Parents Told Me and End Of Days. That's a pretty consistent list of dubious to terrible episodes right there.

Oh, and don't forget Doomed, the only episode of the show officially credited to three different writers. Have I mentioned that I don't like Doomed? Because I really don't like Doomed.

Picard thoughts, now I've finished it:

Season 1 and 2 were really fun, actually! A few things that felt a bit flat, but idk, they did feel very Trek to me at heart. I was gripped throughout, couldn't stop clicking "next epsiode" XD

Season 3.... I got into it by the end, and I was far more okay with the reason for Jack being special than I assumed I was going to be, but still... 🤷‍♀️ definitely not my fav. The first few dragged most definitely.

I was NOT expecting Worf to be my favourite character, like, ever, but I was cheering every time he was on screen tbh, he was fantastic XD

I really like what they did with Seven, though I feel like they could have done more. But seeing that she'd grown into the warmest, most caring human... that was super special 💖💖

(LOVED that even though s2 was highlighting how fucked-up we are in 2024, they never brought in homophobia. Like, it would have been so easy and I'd have understood why they might have, but having that scene where they were pretending to have just got engaged and that just feel so normal, even in the "past" - idk, it was just nice that Raffi and Seven never felt any different from any other couple.)

All the new characters from s1 I really, really loved. Chris, Raffi, Agnes, Soji - ❤️❤️❤️❤️ they were all fantastic.

Most of the time, the callbacks to classic Trek worked very well - possibly a bit much in s3, but only in parts. Overall, there was a hell of a lot of love for Old Trek. Honourable mention to the music cues, cause man, whatever you think about New Trek, they use the themes of TOS, Voy, DS9 etc so well and it's beautiful. The Fleet museum scene - yeaaaa, shivers <3 <3 <3

I do feel like they went a bit too far down the rabbit-hole of "this isn't really a utopia". Idk, I think some of it felt a bit more grimdark-for-the-sake-of-it rather than the DS9 vibe of yes-it's-dark-in-here-but-there's-still-hope

Speaking of DS9 - the changelings and Dominion war legacy.... I honestly *don't* know what to make of that. It was interesting, seeing more of them, and I think some of the new lore might even have some... fun(?) implications to retcon onto what happened in DS9. But also... idk. The fact that Worf was the only DS9 character? I mean I'm sure the Enterprise crew fought in the Dominion war, but it was kind of rough seeing that plot without my guys from DS9.

Not a fan of the continued found-family-is-fine-(but-actually-biological-family-is-Everything) vibes. I had a problem with this in Voyager, wasn't expecting it to show up here ngl :/

Also what the hell was the whole Laris thing?? I mean I liked her as a character, but the romance was absolutely pointless. But also, even though I hated the romance, it felt super disrepectful to not even mention her at the end, given how 'important' she'd been previously?? Like, why was it even needed if they weren't going to do anything with it? (not that i wanted them to do anythign with it but yeah. gahhh)

**Q** however???? Omg, was not expecting it to be quite that gay 😅😅 I was SOBBING at the end of s2 and I've never been /that/ invested in Qcard but it is so real actually. Yeah, that rocked.

I'm sure there's more but overall: FAR better than I expected! I'd heard bad things about it, and TNG is not my favourite Trek at all, so I wasn't looking forward to watching it, but it was, genuinely, quite good. Definitely more than a few bits to be frustrated by, but I guess that's every Trek to be honest, so... yeah. Pleasantly surprised. Thanks, Picard.

Hi! Umineko Question!

What do you think Epsiode 2 of Umineko will be about?

i think since it's looking like episode 1 is due to end on the witch's revival that episode 2 will not be a direct continuation of the mysteries we've been dealing with thus far. my thoughts on this depend on whether or not we're going to keep directly following battler/the ushiromiyas after this episode. given the amount of unresolved threads and the amount of knowledge held in the people still alive, i'm inclined to think that we're not going to be done with rokkenjima that easily - as of right now there are basically no leads on how to solve the epitaph and since that thing seems pretty idiosyncratic to kinzo/his family i don't necessarily know we'll be able to make headway with that through different people and a different place. like we still need seven more episodes of murder mysteries to go through and even if they take place on rokkenjima again i don't see how it could compellingly tie to the history of the island and the ushiromiyas built up through episode 1.

also like. we do need to see beatrice in action and episode 1 has spent a great deal of time showing us how her existence is fundamentally connected to numerous members of the cast so again it wouldn't be very fun to have a revived golden witch outside of the ushiromiya context. i think the two options are either a kind of 999-style "many routes" structure where we see different choices/outcomes for the weekend of the conference and we learn new things down each "branch", or a wider generational cycle structure where we see future/past generations of ushiromiyas also gouging and killing each other in the name of the historical constant of beatrice. something like a retelling of the collapse of the main ushiromiya branch that led to kinzo's inheritance through a witch narrative lens or something like a story set in the future with family head ange's offspring repeating the cycle. i think the former makes a little more sense given that it would allow us to examine/understand crucial characters who died early on (and is also kind of just a common way visual novels like to do things, especially ones with metafictional leanings) but i need it on the record that i think a multi-generational witch narrative loop would be cool as hell to see pulled off.
