Visiting museums and looking at the metalwork done with gold and silver really made me appreciate WHY Old Testament scribes and medieval poets go on and on about their gold bowls and their vessels and their cedar beams of this size and this size.
Like I'm already in awe at the craftsmanship and I live post-industrial revolution, when working people can have diamond engagement rings. (Not all, obviously). If I lived at a time when people had far fewer possessions because mass production was yet to be a thing, I too would never shut up about precious objects.

I think there's a mistaken perception that is still circling about hyunwoo and his reaction to haein dying and I still see ppl use this as a reason to say eunseong is better for her (if you think this, you need to visit a doctor :)) but my perception of that scene was hyunwoo was happy he could get away from haein without having to suffer through a divorce especially because up until that moment in the entirety of ep 1, she was awful to hyunwoo to his face and like he tells the psychiatrist he hated everything about the family and he hated haein too a lot at that point.
Of course, it is still awful that he was fine with her dying but that's literally the point of the story, that when people fall out of love things turn so bitter, you don't care if they are out of your life or how, and you just want them gone but that when you are forced to reassess and stop and think you realise you may not want that reality because you still love that person and want the best for them.
Also this is a key part of hyunwoo's character growth but also a means of reflecting how he truly feels deep down because since that moment no matter how hard he tried not to care he genuinely kept caring for her because he wanted her to be okay and he didn't realise that his actions were genuine and coming from a place of concern. He also has taken ownership since for being okay with her dying and frankly has paid the price for it quite a lot so far and it's clear that if given the chance he'd live his life trying to make it up to her.
Anyway baekhong for the win, I love shows that add layers to characters and their relationships and know the meaning of adding gray areas and character flaws, that is what you call realism.

listen up freaks, I will enjoy my interpretations of Dracula as a truly monstrous creature representing disease and abuse and terror AND as a cunning, drop-dead gorgeous, bitchy sex god

going into the tags to see someone who prev hc'd gale as straight acting oppressed for dad gale hcs and equating having kids with "seeking normalcy", implying very much that not having children is abnormal in the same breath 🤡

Have to say the flattening of Julia Serano's fairly nuanced views on gender into a nebulous "gender essentialism" by a lot of trans people (who tend to fit a very specific ideological category) is extremely transparent transmisogyny

‼️‼️‼️‼️
you wont believe who passed out last night before i could talk about shit Anyway. sometimes kids take after you in the worst ways. i think a combination of leo and cassandras parenting is deadly for this kid (who cant help but turn reckless) and leos having none of it. just trying to think of some sort of mild conflict for them to work through
it actually all started when i was thinking about the movie scene where casey cusses out leo and i was just like damn. where'd he get the guts to talk back to his own master like that. and then i was like. wait. what if hes just heard it all before.......
