oh yeah since it seems like people are all finally getting serious about moving to tumblr now-- just thought i'd throw in to alleviate and improve yall's tumblr experience, don't forget to install the xkit rewritten extension ^_^
love how orv does not let you see things differently than kdj. truly a reader huh.
kdj starts narrating and, maybe im really weak to suggestion, but i don't think it's really possible to ignore how every two chapters he's like "yeah yjh is really awesome fr.", even when insulting him he's like "dumbass sunfish bastard... his willingess to sacrifice himself once more to save the people he's chosen to love has affected my life in ways i cannot describe. anyway." he gets thrown off a bridge and he's just "i knew he'd do that so it's like we shared a moment. yjh really is just as cool as in the novel :)". at some point reading the novel, i was almost like... well. can we also say good things about kdj or...? it almost feels like there's a little dissonance bc well. kdj has been doing cool things too why is yjh still being talked about as the universe most specialest little meow meow? (he is)
he does it with every character, really. Just... even if sometimes it FEELS like we have a lot of backstory for a character it's always "oh the novel". even yoo sangah is described in a very "here's what I've gathered about her" way. and all of that only changes when WE get to listen to the companions explaining themselves, and that only happens when kdj actually LISTENS.
and yjh is probably the last to get that. like. for the whole duration of the novel it's "omg yoo jonghyuk" and then you reach the last few chapters. and he gets agency. he gets to make choices that kdj doesn't pollute with his 'in the novel's. he gets to actually explain those choices to kdj. and it's suddenly omfg yoo jonghyuk.
thanks for making a popular show with a dedicated fanbase it really helped contribute to david zaslav’s $39million 2022 salary but also fuck you you get less than 4 hours of screentime to work with and you might not get renewed so you should use some of that to give your show an ending and who cares if it feels rushed bc they’ll watch it anyway and it’s not gonna stop our shareholders buying new properties this year
no nothing is gonna have 20+ episodes per season again and you can’t have time for a beach episode or a character pov episode or anything like that. no ‘filler’ just bare bones 8 episodes of plot and you have to speedrun your character development bc if you make the same stuff but quicker and cheaper and worse then we get more money see. also we don’t fucking pay our workers properly :)
Just so you all know, I'm heading on vacation to a place with fairly poor internet connection so any replies will be slower than usual. I'll still be replying just a lot slower cuz of it.... yea. Anyway, I'll be around while I'm at the hotel or just having off time if I can. Might post pictures or something, probably not. I'll be back home on the 22nd-23rd or something, saying that due to time zone shenanigans. Have a good day!
I probably won't be clipping anything from it because the entire conversation is important to hear, but I highly recommend tuning into Aimsey's stream if you're looking for resources on dealing with abuse.
so many thoughts about dteam and their unending loyalty and how they love essentially being in each others’ skin even when they were thousands of miles states oceans nations away from one another and that most of the time if you make it into their ingroup you will always be there because they’re loyal to a fault and then seeing this happen and breaking that special once in a lifetime kind of love over nothing like I’m so fucking sad
truthfully, if Starlight was a guy, she wouldn't be getting as much hate, but people love to hate on women characters. I can name the number of fandoms that have hated so many female characters from Betty Cooper from Riverdale. Maggie from The Walking Dead. Serena from Gossip Girl. Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones. Tara from Sons of Anarchy. Michonne from The walking dead.
The starlight tag is a sad place to be, honestly it sucks for her, it sucked for hughie. it really did and it's awful and so heartbreaking. like none of them deserve the suffering they had gotten. both have suffered so much, and it's sad.
