Something I’ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in “Air Turtle” where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how he’s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but it’s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.
His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase “it’s not about you” takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - he’s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, it’s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (“Mr. the Dunk, I’m so sorry”).
Like I know it’s a one off moment that doesn’t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leo’s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.

Reading the webtoon and…
Does this imply that Kim Dokja also tried to write a questionnaire for her to fill in since she wouldn’t speak to him, that either he 1) never gave her in the end (especially if he couldn’t find her after she was released) or 2) gave it to her and she STILL refused to answer?
Because that is so so so so awful. It was already bad but if he tried so many ways to get her to speak and she still gave him no response, regardless of her reasoning… isn’t that still directly choosing to cut herself fully out of his life? Why in the hell did she lie for his sake and allow him to visit her if she wanted to never speak to him again?
I know everyone claims Kim Dokja is just like her in sacrificing himself for loved ones, but at least he tries his best to stay with them and to keep them in his life. He still chooses sacrifice, but it’s not because he intends to never return. He always returns (even if much later than planned).
The only time this differs is with 51%, when he STILL tried his best to stay with them - at least as much as he could.
I sometimes like Lee Sookyung, but I am mostly still SO mad at her for completely ignoring her child since he was 8 years old. Especially when he must have looked like shit any number of times from being mistreated and bullied by family, friends, army, employers.
But maybe that’s just the fragment in me being eternally pissed with her. She DOES love him, but like he says in the webtoon in this chapter - maybe such truths are painful enough to be false anyways, because they’re just SUCH bullshit. That’s not how affection should work, if you actually care about someone and want them to be happy.

i'm imagining andreil during sophomore year with neil peeking over the side of andrew's bunk bed and asking "yes or no?" because he wants permission to sleep there for the night and kevin across the room ten seconds away from losing it bc he's been hearing that damn question almost every night since the semester started and he loves his roommates, he does, but he wants to scream at them to stfu and just go to sleep already

Fuck it Friday!
I was tagged by @eddiebabygirldiaz @giddyupbuck @wikiangela @daffi-990 thank you 💜💜💜💜💜💜����
Here's a short but dramatic snippet of the elevator fic (spoiler alert they don't stay in the elevator for the duration lol and they will make you want to yell at them [:) prev snippet also the bit I posted for the out of context line is also from this oskaoskas (it's somewhere above this in the conversation)
Eddie steps backward, leaning back against the fridge, crossing his arms in front of him, and Buck fights back a frustrated groan at the way Eddie is shutting down, just dismissing the conversation. Fights back the urge to step up to him and shake him until he's honest.
"Eddie, what do you want?" He asks, keeping the space Eddie had put between them, but his eyes widen as if he wasn't expecting that, and Buck watches as he swallows, and shakes his head while looking down at somewhere near Buck's shoes.
"It doesn't matter," he says, and Buck huffs, looking up at the ceiling.
"What do you want?" He repeats and Eddie squeezes his eyes shut as he continues to shake his head.
no pressure tagging <3: @bucks118 @honestlydarkprincess @watchyourbuck @vampbuckley @housewifebuck @steadfastsaturnsrings
