Mom getting lazy? Telling me to lock the door behind her? When she often just leaves it unlocked without saying anything? And sometimes hanging open??

No. You get ONE lock. The one I can easily lock. The gate can fuck off.

Though it's all locked up now because Skye came home and locked it up.

Can I just say...between Arthur, Phil, and my Louis....Eloise has terrible luck in the relationship department

(Louis isn't looking that bad now is he lol)

omg- I forgot to answer this!

So, In My Humble Opinion: Arthur was her best "boyfriend," not only because I find him to be a very hot man, but also because he respected her without wanting to change her. Their break up, while kind of forced onto Elle, was entirely just. I think Eloise recognizes that now, seeing that he's been allowed at her events. Arthur jumped way too fast into wanting to be married and Eloise only realized after the breakup that she even liked that idea. He is still trying to get over her in his own story, which you can read on @prydainroyals. Louis, well. I don't know how I'd rank him in comparison. I think it's safe to say that if they weren't in the same circle, they would not of been with each other. Louis was very vocal in being there for a fun, not anything meaningful. Though, they did have the most chemistry of all her relationships and I feel as though, if they had not been forced apart, they could of had a good thing. Though, I think a happily ever after for them, like Eloise must have been hoping, plays into her naivety. Her reaction to learning that she was pregnant wasn't good, but she followed that up with hoping without doing or saying anything to anyone until it was too damn late. I don't mean to blame Eloise for everything wrong with that situationship, but Eloise was just making stupid decision after stupid decision. After looking back, I'm like why do ya'll like her?!?! If I was reading this story, I'd be rooting for Adrienne. lmaooo. That being said, Philippe is by far her worst partner. I'm genuinely shocked that so many people were rooting for them up until he went mask off with Freddy. Sure, he entered the story as Prince Fucking Charming, but c'mon now. He came upon her in an incredibly vunerable (ripped from S&S) moment and decided "I want her," no. That doesn't happen. His own father was vocally against their relationship, and not because of Eloise's stupidity in the last act. No, it was because Henri found his own son's actions so reprehensible that he lectured him loud enough for Viola to hear. Let us not forget that Viola, her best friend, did a 180 from actively encouraging her to being all, "ma'am please take a pause." OH AND---- they literally got engaged after the lowest point in their relationship, which left Eloise questioning if he even liked her?!?! Goodbye. Literally, cast that man into the fires of hell. He deserves worse, and his own daddy knows it. He's manipulating a grieving, first time mom, no thank you. No wonder he gave Freddy such an Ick. Philippe may be falling (in love) for her in his own way, and being a good stand in for the deadbeat mentioned above him, but that does not undermine his horribly manipulative and abusive actions.

@empiredesimparte has nothing to do with the evilness of Philippe's character, this is of my own making, please don't come for herrrrrrr. Also, go read mr Napoleon's coronation from the beginning, it is AMAZING. mentioning @armoricaroyalty bcs I did mention Freddy multiple times.

I've literally only heard good things and hopes for a season 2, so I'm hoping to love it, esp since I've been excited since the mock trailer.

Ep 1 (Aug 7)

1-1

Prim so pretty

stabbing a teacher with a pencil

Win's tattoos are nice, Sung Hanbin should get something similar, it'd go well with his celestial chest tattoos

Oh the way he acts with Fa vs so nervous with the teacher

ah, magic healing?

pls he really is going hard on bumbling fool teacher Ajin

that twisty crack thing + cracked glass

1-2

oh the girl drowned herself? did she succeed?

girl wtf is this "misbehaving children must be disciplined" voice D:

and is Ajin staying late to investigate what goes on?

girl not the security person

1-3

oh, Ajin undid things and healed her and security and brought her back to her room? or something? because that can't have been a dream

waitttt, Ajin and Fa don't end up in a relationship, right? I feel like I would've been aware of it. I kinda did want them to get together from the concept trailer though since it seemed dark and twisted anyway + that one Win and Prim clip with the oranges and them beside a pool gave me intense brain worms, so I am Very Open to them together in this show or a different one

but anyway, they're cute talking after the water spill thing even though I'm assuming Ajin orchestrated just for this purpose of showing how different he is than his powerful magician self

oh Ajin, how did you know about the dream?

1-4

oh she confronted Ajin by herself, that's kinda scary

damn, what is that thing she found and has been carrying?

omg... what's happening. does the evil thing that's hurt Wan and Matt have its grips on Fa and he's trying to expel it?

the villain eats glass

Who is the person who records Fa in the past roof clips? Who is the villain - I know Bright appears at the end

I'm reading the r/gmmtv ep 1 discussion and lol I didn't notice a "blurry figure" behind Fa even though apparently she appeared twice rip. Also, Piploy is supposed to be in this as well

Ep 2 (Aug 7)

2-1

Fa's an adult? isn't she a high schooler? Did they carefully drop that piece of info so that they can get together <- my hopes

pls okay and he's not even her teacher and they're literally doing forced cohabitation with "this side of the room is mine, don't cross it" stuff like? okay, love interests

plsss "my plans never fail, they're perfect" -> getting a photo taken by the girls at school

damn, how'd Ajin get the uncle thing to work?

Namsine played by Piploy is significant somehow

2-2

ewww throwing up blood after taking out a glass shard from her mouth?

bro, was that a dream for real?

girl, not the Music Room by yourself

oh, Prikhing was the one behind the window when Fa, Namsine, and Ajin were all in the music room

ah, more of Prikhing

2-3

plsssss Yiwha thinking Ajin is a perverted spirit

Yiwha is cute and endearing but also... is she innocent? completely off the list of suspects? hmmm like maybe she's just doing this so cast the doubt off of herself? and get info from Fa herself?

anyway, Yiwha and Fa are cute though, girls of the world! I'd ship them harder if I wasn't already invested in Fa and Ajin

omg everybody already infected and vomiting blood and stuff? and who is the person with the red cloak?

oh, this is from the concept trailer when she went into a different room and entered some other dimension or something through the door

oh, blinded by a spell in the same place, I see

who is the red-cloaked girl? is that Namsine?

I knew people mentioned Piploy quite a bit and the thing with having a GMMTV roster of actresses is that you immediately know they'll be significant enough somehow or other, so Namsine being the red-cloak girl makes sense. though I do see mentions of her being a puppet in the gmmtv subreddit ep 2 discussion

Ep 3 (Aug 8)

3-1

Ah, Namsine puppet as they mentioned

3-2

Not the wound tending

ahh and he still let her patch him up despite him healing soo quickly

they're so cuteeeee what the heck, they've gotta be hinting at romance right?

Him sharing magic with her in a way he's never shared with anybody

ah, Fa and Namsine fun, intense friendship, girls who only understand each other

omg the way the mother found the videos of them spending time with each other and being so attached, ah it's so gay girls <3 as if the videos would have them kissing or something

scary ass mother, reminds me of button eyed Coraline other parents kinda

3-3

oh I hate Namsine's mother so bad

White Arts, Black Arts, Enigma

he won't let anyone else die... is he seeking revenge for somebody who already died?

3-4

i lost the stuff here rip

Ep 4 (Aug 8)

4-1

oh self-mutilation

Fa and Namsine soooo lesbian intense girl relationship

anyway i'm scared that Namsine is gonna stab Fa still with the blade

bro a shattering sky glass

hey what?

4-2

The bees around Ajin are reminding me of the moths in Midnight Museum of Bright's episodes

so Ajin's being haunted/posessed and is gonna now have a spell over him to see something else too?

4-3

woahh Fa performing an exorcism in the pool, she's so cool - you've learnt well and have a good brain

omg lesbianssss Namsine stopping Fa from drowning

Hm, that's it? What even happened with the glass sky shattering and possessing Ajin and stuff?

4-4

Girl, we're gonna get something new starting up in the last part of ep 4 cuz things weren't properly fully fleshed and closed out by part 3 anyway and they'll introduce something for me to hope for season 2 ah D:

Fa-Ajin get together plsssssss they're so ~~~<33~~~

I don't like how he holds her mouth like that though, it was okay the first time when he was angry but not when he's stopping her from talking about spending all the time with him

oh kiss okay, even though we can't even see it

oh not a kiss, rip :(

ah it hits midnight

and he makes her forget everything? D: so sad

oh okay, he didn't make her forget, that's good. he just made her sleep as usual and took her home and disappeared

We get Ajin and Namtaan kisses but no Ajin and Fa fr D:

bro, Priking?

What is the significance of Ajin's ring?

agh, so sad that the ending/wrap-up was just okay but the tease for next season is so intriguing. The setup for this season was good too, well-paced since it's such a short show.

Overall:

I wish the wrap-up/ending was done better/explained a bit more,, like what was that Ajin possession thing? No Ajin past? Why did we redeem mother so easily?

I wish the horror aspect continued on cuz I think it was strongest in the first episode but not much after that.

It's such a short series with a large focus on magic and evil but they still had me hetshipping and lesbian shipping (Fa/Namsine were literally soooo) and that's a good mark that it made me care about the relationships/characters.

Good after credits scene to pique interest for a larger story, hope we get it for gmmtv 2024 and that it remains about 4-6 episodes with the same quality and possibly better writing when tying things up

good acting from everybody, especially the girls.

It was good but I'm not super attached to anything or anybody but if there's a second season, I'd watch it.

Rating: 6.5/10

Trailers:

Original Mock: Watched it in the early morning during GMMTV 2023 and it was one of the only non-queer GMMTV series that was interesting. Was looking forward to it.

Official Trailer: Still cool, though I don't like the very fast cuts they had.

Hey I know your not doing asks but if you or someone you know could do me one on Barba finding out his s/o has the same blood clotting in brain issue I do, it's dvst if interested, and him helping them deal with all the test, pain, and meds that go with that.. I'm having a really hard time and it would be nice to have a story to replay in my head to help me relax.. Sorry if it's not doable..

Omg I’m so sorry!! I know you had reached out to me before and I hope you’re doing better! I’m in the middle of studying still, but I managed to whip this up now so I hope you enjoy

Rafael Barba was never sure what to think of higher powers. Sure, he had been raised a devout Catholic by his parents, but considering the fact his father would come home from church each day and beat his mother, while she cried out for him to hide or run, he wasn’t sure how much faith he could put in the man upstairs. There were times he doubted his own faith, truly testing it against his against his own pessimism and pragmatisms. But after what he saw day in and day out, people’s lives ripped apart from one act of violence or another, he knew one thing for sure: true evil existed. And if one exists, the other did as well. Or so he’d like to believe. 

That supposed truth became a little truer when he met you. A beam of sunshine in his perpetual drudgery and squalor, swimming in the depths of the debased and the depraved. A chance encounter in a coffee shop, when you paid for his drink as a way to pay it forward, only you left more than your money behind, but your scarf. So he waited for you the next day, your usual order in hand that he had asked the barista for, who had giving him a knowing wink, much to his bewilderment. And when you entered, you spotted him almost immediately, periwinkle scarf in hand and your order in the other. So instead of working on your screenplay as you had planned for that day, Rafael occupied your time instead with the most stimulating conversation you both had in weeks. And you would continue it, for weeks, over text, the phone, and even in person.  Suddenly, facing the evils of the world didn’t seem as damning, when he had you to come home to each night. 

But what hadn’t occurred to him, was what happened when the evil permeated his very home? 

You complained only of headaches at first. He had thought it was from using your laptop too much. With a tendency to turn your brightness all the way up for hours at a time, he had written off as merely that. So, he installed a program to adjust the lighting on your screen accordingly, brushing the problem aside. But it only seemed to worsen. Soon, the headaches were accompanied by nausea, and the nausea brought vision problems along with it. But the worst had yet to come. Rafael had been unaware of the extent of the problem, until he came into your shared apartment one night, calling out your name, only to hear a thud in response. Everything he held fell with a clatter, as he ran to the bathroom, to find you sobbing next to the toilet. 

His heart sunk to his feet, as his eyes scanned for any sort of injury, but it seemed you had collapsed to the floor, your eyes fluttering open and shut. “Mi amor, darling, what’s wrong?” He pushed your hair back, tucking the locks behind you ears, before taking your face in his hands. This seemed to stir you from semi-conscious, as your eyes finally opened, meeting his own. “We need to get you to a hospital,” He tried to lift you to your feet, but you only shook your head, pulling Rafael back down. 

Your head was still shaking “no.” “I just came from one,” The words were barelt a whisper, but it felt like a punch to the stomach. “It’s been getting worse, Rafael,” 

For the first time in a long time, Rafael was afraid. Afraid to know, to ask, for the words to be said beyond the tip of his tongue, but his desire to know won out his fear. “What’s wrong?” 

You sighed, as you moved up slowly, propping your back against the cool tile, so you could tell him properly, and you only smiled, “You look more terrified than I am, Raf.” You pressed a warm palm to his cheek. “It’s nothing, believe me. Nothing that will keep me down for long,” 

“Y/N…please,” He pleaded with you, the words were too hard to ask a second time. He couldn’t. He couldn’t ask again. 

“I have Dural Venous Sinus Thrombosis, or DVST,” You explained the condition, that it was a blood clotting issue in the brain. You were likely to survive and recover with treatment, but there were no cures or easy fixes. This was something the both of you would have to live with. “I know it won’t be easy,” And a tear slipped down your cheeks, and that, to Rafael, was more heartbreaking than your sobs, “and I won’t blame you if you want to leave me-“ 

Rafael rubbed his thumb against your cheek, breaking off your words, as he slowly pulled you into a kiss. And he tried to convey all of his emotions with it: sadness and anger; hope and fear; and most importantly, love. “We’ll get through this,” His warm words whispered against your lips were a promise to keep, a promise he would keep, God as his witness. The two of you would get through this, because surely as there is evil in this world, there was good. And you were his good, all of his good, and he wouldn’t let you go. 

Not ever.
