#made on the rooftop

You know, your personality doesn't go with your looks. Well, I got that smoker's look from my parents. That's not what I'm talking about. You pretend to be cynical and all... but you're actually like a little boy.

I opened Tumblr, saw a GIF set for Made on the Rooftoop and decided it was high time to revisit these color-coded boys in love.

Sky, a Blue Boy, is best friends with Bong Shik, a Red Rascal. They are hot messes and tend to lean into the negatives of their colors (fragile, aloof, impulsive, and vengeful).

Sky recently broke up with fuddy duddy Jeong Min

Which causes him to move in with Bong Shik,

This prompts Bong Shik's Garden Gal neighbor, Sun Ja, who is warm, friendly, and hella nosy, to insert herself in the boys' lives and garden

All while Bong Shik is being pursued by (the best) Blue Boy Min Ho *regardless of what you came for, this story is what you stay for

Min Ho asks Bong Shik out under the heaviest blue lighting after emphasizing that he likes Bong Shik and slightly begging Bong Shik to take him seriously and give him a chance

They go on a date, and have the softest color exchange

But Min Ho messes up when responding to a very crucial moment leading to the best buddies singing a song that is basically a cuter version of "Fuck Love, Get Money"

However, like the best Blue Boy he is, Min Ho knows the way to any Red Rascal's heart is spicy food, and gets his guy back

Bong Shik ends up in the Purple Pair since he is in love while Sky ends up with a job (and a very important phone call)

And Sun Ja reveals herself as being the epitome of Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss

Good for her.

I saw you reblogged your post about BL directors and also recommended The New Employee again. I actually made a post about the other (gay, since he has a few non-gay) works of TNE’s director Kim Jho Gwang Soo that your followers might be interested in! Besides directing the CLASSIC Just Friends? he has some other really good work, my next favorite being Made on the Rooftop. Much like TNE it’s more queer than most Korean BL (bc it’s not really BL or for a BL audience I don’t think), and some of it isn’t exactly happy, but some people might find his stuff worth checking out. If you’re interested: https://www.tumblr.com/archiveofmystuff/707288674854912000/the-other-works-of-the-new-employee-director-kim

I'm not wild about Made myself, but you are right others may liek it. For me it falls into the Present Perfect or ITSAY category of gay cinema.

Which, while I get it, is no longer strictly to my taste. I think maybe I just feel like I lived through it once already, or something?

AFO, bringing home Tenko.

AFO: “Kurogiri, watch this for me.”

So I had an idea.

So, the Fenton parents do care about their children but don't have the best track record when it comes to keeping them safe. So, reveal gone right. Maddie and Jack are very concerned about the other ghosts and Ghost hunters hurting Danny. They want to send him away from Amity Park. (so he could be safe, not cause they want to destroy GIW bases. Of course not,*loads GAV with more weaponry than necessary or already there*) Alica is out of the picture cause she "went so far off the grid that even the NSA won't be able to find her." (side note: anybody else headcanon that Alica had worked for Amanda Waller). So Maddie decides to send him to stay with her old college roommate. Maddie just hopes Harley won't mind.

i think hozier could write a song about the first time rapunzel feels the dirt on the floor besides her prison. he'd probably have something to say about like being simultaneously both anchored and free or whatever

[Image description start. The three panel, "Do you think Margaret Thatcher had girl power" meme, now edited so that the first panel shows the TV host asking: "Do you think you are protecting democracy by voting blue no matter who?" The second panel shows someone responding, "Yes, of course." Panel 3 has the TV host asking, "Do you think you are protecting democracy by announcing to all politicians who will ever exist from now on that they can commit as many genocides as they want and they'll still get elected because you literally don't care what they do as long as they don't do it to you?". Image description end.]

I explicitly encourage everyone to download and repost this and use it as a reaction image. You can copy and paste the image descritption into your post. If you're on mobile, if your phone has a notepad app, you can save it there.

Get Back Rewatch 55 Years On: Day 20

I literally got second-hand anxiety hearing, “How many numbers do you think you’ll have by tomorrow?”. I was like. TOMORROW? They are Not ready. The only reason the rooftop works out is because they’re the fucking Beatles. No one else would pull that out of their butts so well. 

If only John could’ve listened to Glyn about Klein. smh

Classic Paul. Starts out saying “us” ends up just talking about John. “The best bit of us always has been, and always will be, is when we’re backs against the wall and we’ve been rehearsing, rehearsing, rehearsing. And he knows it’s a take on the dub. And he does it great.” It’s okay, Paul. We all know you like to get him up against a wall. No but seriously, Paul is not okay about John. 

Takes every opportunity to flirt, doesn’t he?

“I can’t wait to work here, you know . . . I mean, here in our life, it’s like home.” It’s the gentleness, yeah. But it’s the focus, too. Most people (I know I would) would be so done with him and his anxiety spirals and his neuroses and over-thinking on and on and on by this point. John probably is, but he shows no sign of that fatigue at all. He is zeroed in on working him through this. He’s done it a million times before, and he’s ready to do it as many more times as Paul needs. Ugh, they make me into such a sap!

“Yeah, well that’s why I’m talking to John, not you.” If Paul can talk like that to George Martin, one of the most respected men in his life, when he’s in the middle of a thing with John, imagine how he must’ve bullied other people that tried to worm their way in. 

That smile he gives George though! That’s how he got away with all his shit, isn’t it? So fucking cute.

“I agree with you, I think it’s disappointing, but all right, we only got to seven. Let’s do seven.” The tone of voice, man. So. Fucking. Gentle. No wonder Paul can't stand the projected "acerbic, tough Lennon" shit. If that was how someone treated you and took care of you? And then everyone acts like that part of them just didn't exist, and emphasizes the parts of them that they themselves hated and actively worked against? Yeah I'd be pretty pissed too.

Glyn reassuring Paul that there’s no reason they can’t come back and do a TV show later. Yeah, fifty years later. 

John’s eyes constantly flicking back to Paul as George is talking . . . 

George really does take so much better care of himself than the other three at this time. Pictured here, silently begging viewers like you to chip in just ninety-eight cents toward his freedom.

I actually think, though, that if Ringo had said he didn’t want to go on the roof either at that moment, that they wouldn’t have done it. I think they look to him for common sense in their decision-making, and Ringo saying he didn’t want to do it really might’ve broken the whole thing.

George’s reaction to Ringo voting for the roof VS John. It’s giving tragic heroine VS villain origin story

Honestly heartbroken at the “I love you, blue”. How many times did John just straight up say those words to Paul only for Paul to be completely unresponsive? That genuinely hurt to watch.

The tiny little looks they give each other. “Okay. We got this.”

“Fuck all that. I’m just gonna do me for a bit.” Good for you, baby. 

“I had a good dream last night, you’re black or you’re white, you want equal rights.” I know some people say it’s hypocritical or preachy or whatever, but I ADORE this John. Look how fucking happy he’s making Billy right now and then talk to me about how John’s political side is meaningless. I think it’s beautiful.

I think it’s actually too embarrassing for them at this point to sing Two of Us without being insane.

“We’re all sleeping at Georgie’s tonight. Get in the mood.” Oh how I wish they actually had. I mean, maybe they did. Someone write the fic!

Oh, the “who knows, Yoko,” moment. It’s so embarrassing. The fact that there was just no response whatsoever. Yeesh. 

So many nerves when I saw the camera zooming into that circled date with “Rooftop Concert” written on it. What is wrong with me?
