Korean Vox HCs

TW: Mention of sexual assault(not anything related to the characters, only related to Korean history & Japanese occupation)

Korean name Nam Hyeon Chul(남현철)- I chose this because Hyeon(현) means "smart" and Cheol(철) means "iron/metal", and the last name Nam(남) because it fits well with the name. "Smart metal".. Get the pun?

Forced Japanese name being Minami(Nam) Kentetsu(Hyeonchul)- He absolutely hates being called this.

Normally speaking fluent English but slipping up once in a while(e.g. Quietly saying '..잘생겼다' instead of 'handsome' when first seeing Alastor, occasionally swearing in Korean instead of English, etc.)

Born in 1931 in Korea, grew up under the Japanese government until the independence(1945). He was frequently bullied by the Japanese children and though he had an aptitude for technology, he was ignored and ridiculed because he was Korean.

His mother died after his brother was born and his father got arrested for disobeying the authorities. They're both in Heaven.

He had four younger siblings- three sisters and one brother- and always dutifully cared for them. Two of his sisters got captured by the 위안부(An association Japan made to "relieve" their soldiers, they kidnapped young women and got r*ped by them) and only one of them came back. He absolutely loathes Japan even more for this. All of his siblings are in Heaven.

He is fluent in Japanese as well as Korean but highly dislikes speaking it.

He learned English in school but became fluent after falling in Hell.

As the Korean War broke out(1950), Vox, resenting it deeply, immigrated to Japan. With his skills, he worked as an electrician and specialized and was captivated by TVs. One day, one of his clients, completely unaware of his nationality, bragged about how "back in the day" used to be associated with the 위안부(the place his sisters got dragged to). Out of rage, he killed him by electrocuting him and was surprised by how amazing it felt.

From that day, he started to murder Japanese elders he knew were affiliated with abuse towards Koreans. This got him involved in shady businesses.

A malfunctioning TV killed him when he was 28.

He listened to some of Alastor's recordings before he died, learning some English with it. He thought the timbre of his voice was very nice.

He cooks. Since both Velvette and Valentino are unable to function like a normal demon he cooks breakfast, lunch, and dinner for them. He used to secretly gift food for Alastor as well- though he didn't say so, Alastor actually appreciated those.

He only started dating Valentino because of similarities with Alastor- did not work out well but he hides his troubles deep down.

He celebrates seolnal and chuseok by himself;)

Bipolar disorder- As someone who has been diagnosed it themself, I can see this. I might elaborate in some post later on<3

Snippet Sunday - Sneak Preview for To The Shore

thanks @fangbangerghoul for the reminder! it's snippet sunday, everyone! for all other fic writers, post up your snippets! my chores are done for the day, so i want to read <3

for today, as your snippet, you're going to get a peek ahead to a new chapter cos i'm still stuck on the current one. this takes place during the Matters of the Hart quest.

if you want to read my fic from the beginning, here's the ao3 link.

sneak peek INCOMING!

“That was way too easy. And, how convenient that the slate with the coordinates survived the explosion,” Hwa said from the captain’s chair. “And, did you take note of the name of the ship?

Sam looked at Hwa, getting the gist of what she was saying, as he was feeling it himself. “It was a setup, wasn’t it?” he asked. Hwa nodded. He could see anger beginning to percolate beneath her surface. She stood up and left the cockpit, and watched the emotionless mask fall again. Remind me never to play poker with her, he thought.

Hwa confronted Lillian in the galley. “This is a trap, Lillian. Cora could have seen through the plan. They want to take you out, and make the Rangers look bad, and you fell for it,” Hwa said. “The ship was named the Dumas. As in the Count of Monte Cristo. As in the book you’re reading with Cora. Is any of this getting through to you?”

“That means there’s a mole in the Rangers,” Sam added.

Hwa nodded, then turned back to Lillian. “Going forward, this is my op. You follow my commands to the letter, are we clear?” Every word she said was clearly enunciated, but with no emotion.

Lillian was bristling and already had her hackles up, “You don’t get to tell me…” she started. 

Hwa cut her off, “I do get to tell you. You are on my ship. You are putting Cora into danger. You are forcing my hand by playing into this trap that a child could have seen. You could have sent a small wet-works team to take Valerie out instead of this nonsense.”

Sam coughed, “That’s not really how it’s done in law enforcement, Hwa, but, oh nevermind…” he said half under his breath.

“Now, you listen here,” Lillian shouted, sputtering into Hwa’s face.

Hwa looked implacably back, showing little emotion, unlike Lillian who was getting angrier and redder in the face. “No. I’m done. You want my help, you play by my book.” She turned to Sam, “And, no wet-works team,” she said, “though it would have saved a lot of trouble,” she mumbled under her breath, betraying her frustration for the first time.

Emmy 'Emerson' Park

Emmy’s hands tightened around his tattered paperback and tried to let the familiar words calm him, but it was a hard thing to do when he knew someone was watching him. Emmy should be used to it. He was a freaking giant of a man with a resting bitch face. He had been told by his ex-wife that could curdle milk

Aigoo, let’s do this one last time. My name is Mirae Jae. Friends call me MJ. My great great grandmother was bitten by a radioactive spider— and then nothing happened for a few generations. Until the day I woke up and found out I could punch through walls?? Nobody told me superpowers are genetic, but hey I’m figuring it out. For the past year, I’ve been the one and only: Spider Dancer. It’s been wild! I stopped some robberies, finally beat my Uncle Beom at baduk, and fought off this ugly green guy. I come from a long line of folk entertainers, so fighting crime isn’t really something that comes naturally. Sometimes I wonder why this inheritance chose me. But I have it now, so I might as well put it to good use right? And who says I can’t have some fun with it along the way? 

This isn’t turtle related, but I made a spidersona inspired by samulnori and pungmul (types of Korean drum performances). This movie has a vice grip on me.

Not related to much of anything, but I love seeing YD's posts over on twitter. She's being so positive, and seeing all that excitement is downright adorable

Like when she saw a clip of Phil running over to pick her up after she got downed on her first day

That's so freaking cute

Not to mention all the fanart she's been retweeting, even asking at one point if retweeting or quote-retweeting was better because she wanted to start sharing the fanart that people were making

And of course this post she made today after doing some offscreen digging

And some iconic responses as a bonus

I also wanna say that I really liked Jyungreok's (Let me know if I spelled that wrong) energy too when he joined, he was absolutely hilarious. Though he hasn't been on as much to see. Same with Acau and Kong (Again, let me know if I'm spelling these wrong)

It's just nice to see this kind of positivity again and remember the great things that this server can bring to people all around the world. I'm really excited to see more of them once the server gets back up and running at 100% again (I also cannot WAIT to see how YD and Kong interact with Chunsik)

(Edit)

Ohh and now I just saw her reply to Tubbo lmao!
