cheering on @kkomaism and the newest update you just have to read <3

Tumblr April Fools Boop with Sung Hyunjae & Han Yoojin, inspired by @transsongtaewon's post

[sunbathingfox7]

I was just reading S-classes manhwa and I noticed this in one of the earlier chapters when Han Yoojin didn't know about Sung Hyunjae's weapon yet,

Sung Hyunjae is looking at the moon. It's literally a crescent moon. Crescent Moon. This is before she was introduced. Like, oh my god, the foreshadowing in this panel given the significance of that entity in Sung Hyunjae's life.

It took me so long to notice this 🤯

[cringeshoes]

'"What would you do if you could save the world by sacrificing one person?"' oh dear

Gyeol considering everyone except Sung Hyunjae as his family lmao

Oh baby... you're lying to yourself when you say you only have one dad 😂

Apparently Yoojin grew beans in elementary school

Beans as a plot point?!? I never would have thought

RIETTE IS TOUCHING YOOJIN AGAIN!?!? SOMEONE SEND THIS WOMAN TO JAIL OR JUST KILL HER FOR HEAVENS' SAKE

He even demanded that she stop, I don't know why this is still a thing!!

SHE SEXUALLY ABUSED NOAH

And of course the narrative is going to brush it off!! Just because you're related to someone does not mean you have to forgive them omg

'My ass is smooth' I DON'T CARE HYUNJAE

SOMEONE GET RIETTE OUT OF HERE

I DON'T CARE IF SHE'S CHANGED, SHE'S STILL ABUSING PEOPLE!!

😂😂😂 Yoojin is using the keyword on fruit

Is it gay to bake bread together?? According to Sung Hyunjae, yes it is.

Anyways why are they making food now what happened to the plot

Uhhhh... what's happening to Final Gratitude??? Help

WHY IS RIETTE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE CARETAKER SKILL AHHHHGGG

WAIT RIETTE WAS THE 50TH PERSON

It's time

Ah fuck. If giving Yoojin a chance at revival isn't a death flag, then I'm a duckling.

Oh no. Castles and monsters. That is bad.. [I'm looking at you, Kim Dokja]

'" I won't do anything that harms Honey's people. I promise this."' WHAT ABOUT HIM

Omg it's just like Dark Castle, there's a 'king' that has to ascend to a throne after defeating monsters... we're fucked

Myungwoo is working with the system ppl.. does he know??

All 50 S-Classes are here...

Bavar is here lol!! Yoohyun could probably hunt it alone

Yoojin no

Byeol and Seol are just doing their thing lmao

Yoojin and Hyunjae are both beat up 😂

Why is everyone losing an arm today sheesh

'"Han Yoohyun is crying!"' 😢 oh lord

"Being strong doesn't always mean being strong." AMEN

FINALLY WE FIND OUT WHAT CHIRPIE IS 😱

the day chatterbox appears in the manhwa is the day i fucking explode and die. Please let me see this spindly man of psychological horror PLEASE

[tyrantwombat]

*deep sigh of frustration*

[tyrantwombat]

I should definitely be having more of a reaction to all of this information but I'm still too stuck on how difficult it was to wrench some sort of understanding out of this to generate much emotion. Bleh.

I know it's the price we pay to mtl but I'm feeling grumpy today I guess. I should be re-reading chapters with this new information and changing how I parsed it the first time around to get a more accurate picture and remind myself of things I forgot when I set this down a few weeks ago that might make some of the references clearer...but going back over the last ten or so chapters when this arc is finally almost done feels physically painful. I want out. I love this novel but I've been here two IRL months I'm dying.

So really I'm just doing this to myself.

Sigma is officially Sung Hyunjae of the past. Wee. Not really surprised or anything, but good to know for sure.

Han Yoojin's right though, it is pretty messed up Crescent Moon keeps doing that to them. Like. Just look at them. Look at their dead little eyes. You fucked up a perfectly good sprout-person, CM, look at that shit. He's got ennui.

Newcomer's gonna have some questions to answer at gunpoint, probably, I suspect. RIP Newcomer; I hope you're shitting your weird transcendental not-pants right about now.

Edit: Wait but if Newcomer made this place...

[raises microphone] thoughts on miss crescent moon?

OKAY I'm constantly struggling between picking her or chatterbox as my favorite villain. She's an incredible incredible character in my opinion, based on a wonderful concept.

Obviously expect spoilers for the entire novel, and I do mean the entirety of it

My absolute favorite part of her character is how imposing she is. I try not to overuse the word haunts the narrative, but she DOES, even when she doesn't show up her presence is constant, and terrifying, because the characters are terrified of her.

Like - the worst thing to happen would be her showing up. Not a specific action, just her presence alone would be horrible and needs to be avoided at all costs. So when she shows up, or just the moon shows up, all the alarm bells in my head are ringing as I prepare for something horrible to go down. Isn't this fantastic?

Even the calm scenes where she's not endangering anyone, those where yj is just kind of in some dreamscape and having a conversation with her. Because it will usually either disturb the fuck out of yj or just unravel some part of his already very fragile mental health.

And another favorite part comes from one of my favorite scenes, where yj is kind of faced with what she's like and gets told not to try to understand her because it'll just break his brain, and it DOES because she's incomprehensible! Her thoughts are incomprehensible!

I adore that her thing is that.. well.. she loves everyone. And everything. She has boundless affection and genuine unconditional love for absolutely everything, but it's not treated as a good thing to be loved by her - it's terrifying. She's unpredictable and would do (and HAS done) unspeakable things in the name of that love.

She's a mother figure of sorts. I already like to think that sctir has a lot of metaphors for abusive relationships, especially shown in the relationships the transcendents have, and she is someone so horribly grand and so full of love for you, yet so capable of hurting you even when nothing else in the world could hurt you

And she's perfect for the story - she's not an evil cackling mastermind rubbing her hands together, in fact she's unsettingly serene pretty much all of the time. But she has a goal - it doesn't need to be done her way, but that goal has to be achieved. There's no malice behind it either.

AND on top of that is the fact that crescent moon does what she does because she grants wishes. People pray to the moon, wish for things, and so so many people and creatures, especially in their dying moments, have wished for the end of the source (even when said in an indirect manner) so what she does is to try and grant that wish - however she can, uncaring or unaware of the cruelty she's inflicting in her method. It's like something that cannot possibly understand humans trying to do something for humans

So yes basically I am utterly in love with crescent moon, how deeply cosmically inhuman she is, even while she does something we believe to be incredibly human, which is to love, quite literally with all her being. Yoojin's love is that of a human (and even gets compared to animals), while Crescent Moon's love is that of something you will never be able to truly comprehend.

The rest of this rant is more of my personal interpretation of her, but she is a kind of nurturer in this way. Because your mother (parents in general too but this feels maternal), especially when she kind of fucking sucks, can be incomprehensible to you in some ways. She has a vision for you, a way she wants you to be, and she will take everything from you to make that happen. It doesn't matter how much it breaks you down and destroys you because she cannot even comprehend what she's doing.

And you can't understand her. You can hate her for it, but you also know that she isn't doing this out of malice and you know that she loves you. Is this love really a good thing? Is it? You're so tied up in her strings, in everything she's built you up as, that letting go might break you unless you have support (this specifically also refers to shj here. like he physically could not exist without crescent moon). If all the strings she's wrapped you up in suddenly snap, what do you do? With all of this freedom, devoid of love?

You know she won't change, trying to understand why she acts like this, trying to figure out how to change her would just break your mind, but you can't help but try anyways. And she is terrifying, there in the back of your mind, influencing your actions even when she's not present, and her ACTUAL presence could effortlessly break down so many things you've built up. And you have to live with this. That you were created by someone who may love you, but will love you in a way that hurts, a way that is so familiar but so, so cruel.

She's not kind, she just loves you.

SCTIR NOVEL SPOILERS

[Snippets of various SCTIR chapters bcs why not]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yoojin really just told (pre-regression???)Hyunjae that they had a child together 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hyunjae apparently also raised a sheep and sent a postcard when he was missing pre regression 🤣🤣

Yoojin said that he "loved Han Yoohyun. Very much." 😭😭😭

Soyoung is now Hyunjae's adopted daughter, he said it himself!!

Pre regression Hyunjae cried...

'If you meet a human who has loved an unbelievable being in an extremely low possibility, and if he doesn't give up to the end, we will get what we want.

You walk and tell the life of a bird that counts stars.' Woah thats.... stressful..

I think Yoojin figured out Crescent Moon's plans...

'Sung Hyunjae cannot die.

He became immortal. To be prescice, hundreds of thousands of beings piled up on top of each other, and even if one of them was removed, it seemed useless. Sung Hyunjae's death seemed to be achieved only if his accumulated existence was extinguished before the Crescent Moon intervened.' 😱😱😱

Myungwoo is just vibing with the system operators lol

The fucking system ppl don't know what Hyunjae is!?!? Damn...

WDYM YOOHYUN'S LIFESPAN IS SHORTENED???

'I gave hot pink yard to the Sesong guild leader. No, I just asked you to fuck!' I can't tell whether this is a typo or not 🤣🤣🤣🤣
