unpopular opinion i think but i’m sad they didn’t stick with the cold, calculating, but calm wesker. it honestly just doesn’t fit him seeing him get impulsively angry at shit he wouldn’t have gotten angry at in re4 or uc
like he’s this character who has really deep lore and trauma, who has seen the worst of the worst, does bad shit, but is also calm and quick to think of solutions when things go wrong
in his newer iterations it just feels like that part of him is gone? like he just kinda gets angry (ahem re5) and we never really see his quick thinking. it almost feels like he’s so dedicating to his plan he doesn’t want to think of other options and it feels like he doesn’t. sure, you could argue that he’s a lil more crazy in re5, but 3 years ago that fucker didn’t beat around spencer despite him using him his entire life. but all of a sudden when it comes to uroboros he wants to get all cocky and just let his guards do all the work which clearly doesn’t work.
if this were like.. any other wesker iteration he would’ve thought to maybe.. i don’t know, do something smarter instead of letting all his soldiers die? wesker took down an entire umbrella base in russia by himself to get all of umbrella’s files but all of a sudden he’s too lazy to kill 2 people who he could impale in a second when they clearly threaten his plans? is he stupid? yeah probably lol
bring back smart wesker i’m tired of him being stupid aka typical comic villain in re5 :[

I have a few requests in my askbox and I promise I will get to them soon 🫶🏻
I also have a sunghoon smut I will write and publish soon as well! probably will write it tomorrow and post tuesday or write it tuesday after I get out of class and publish it later that night.
I also have a heeseung fic that may or may not become a series debating how good it does that’s in my drafts as well. I plan to finish “won’t give up on us” first, make the WIP post for jay’s spin-off and then also drop the WIP post for heeseung’s fic as well. so look forward to that 🫶🏻
I am also still figuring out the outline for part three of my vamp!enha series and still taking tags for that as well! once I have a clear view of what I want the series as a whole to contain, I will drop the poll for which member will be first for the series and go from there.
thank you to everyone who continues to support and love my writing 🫶🏻 means the world.

It's been... hm. Disappointing to say the least to see accounts I know who correctly called out both people's dismissal of Ukraine and leftists that carried water for Russia's imperialism in the name of being anti American, now all suddenly use the same talking points they once condemned in order to defend Israels colonization. All of a sudden viewing everything through a cynical political lens is justified ("Why does Ukraine have to appease Russia?" You said. Only now you keep implying that Palestinians have the responsibility to keep Israel's war crimes as low as possible and never question why the people living in an open air prison and brutalized daily should have to appease their oppressors).
Accounts who have 10 posts condemning both Hamas and general pro Palestine sentiments for every one post touching on the source of the conflict (and none acknowledging that Hamas exists because Israel deliberately quashed other, less extremist resistance movements) are the same accounts who before were able to rightly call out people for using Azov as a quick way to dismiss all cruelty and brutality Ukrainians are experiencing. The switch from criticizing people who only spoke about Ukraine to condemn Azov to becoming someone who only speaks about Palestine to condemn Hamas is jarring to witness. It's just a massive lack of empathy towards Palestinians in comparison to Ukrainians and it does come as a shock from people I thought had more sense and self awareness. How can you spend months on end breaking down exactly what insidious tactics people used to justify Russia's brutality only to turn around and parrot those same tactics? What is it about Palestine that makes you suddenly so eager to focus on everything but the people fighting for their freedom, whereas before you were straightforward in condemning anyone who did not acknowledge the reality of what Ukraine is dealing with?
It really does come down to Palestinian being the "other" to Israel and Ukraine's "civilized" western-approved states. Disgusting and disappointing, to see that those accounts weren't actually principled against imperialism and oppression, just against anyone who disrupted the western status quo. For all their criticisms of pro Russian leftists choosing campism over having principles and a spine, they're no different in the end.

Anon said it. That kiss was fire. Time to change your blog header man?!
Well it WAS fire but there are a LOT of fire kisses in kdramaland and only one JUNHO so if I was going to change my header it would be to him or maybe a soft puppy character I love?
I kinda think of my header as like a throwback to my first years watching k-dramas and forgot it existed lol...maybe I SHOULD change it??

Marcille is actually one of the biggest reasons it took so long to pinpoint which Chilchuck was the imposter in today’s episode.
The Senshi and Marcille imposters had their own reasons for being hard to decipher, but that was a joint effort on the party’s part. Chilchuck was the only example where a single member’s bias actually swayed the others so strongly that it made them all doubt themselves.
Ryouko Kui did an excellent job of giving us a rich background on how different races interact, and how they may descriminate against each other. Each of the races in this series struggles with these prejudices. Our main characters are not exempt from this, and we see it clearly in the way the shapeshifter manifested as each party member, showing us how the others percieve them.
Marcille knows Chilchuck well, and cares deeply for him as a friend. But she’s not immune to assumptions and biases that come from her elven background. The Chilchuck imposter we are faced with, when it’s down to two of them left, is Marcille’s memory of Chilchuck, Marcille’s perception of how he behaves.
One of the first manifestations of this bias occurs when shapeshifter Chilchuck can’t get a jar open.
The real Chilchuck knows that this would never happen—at least not in this way. Chilchuck is proud, yes, but he asks for Laios’ help all the time. Laios is actually one of the party members he is the most likely to ask help from, given how long they’ve known each other, and how much mutual trust exists between them.
However, the whole scenario isn’t right. Chilchuck wouldn’t give up so easily on opening something; his whole job is opening and unlocking things. He would never quit an attempt like this within 5 seconds, then run to Laios so that “big strong adult tall-man” can open it for him.
Marcille is the one who asks, “Huh? Why do you say that?” because Marcille is partially right. Chilchuck does rely on Laios, and Marcille knows this to be true. But she fails to realize how he relies on Laios.
Chilchuck respects many of Laios’ talents, but the most important ones are his combat skills, his emotional fortitude, and his quick thinking when delegating tasks. He trusts Laios as someone he is comfortable following (he literally said to him and Shuro in the last episode: “Laios!! Tell us what do!! Give us orders!!” when chimera Falin was quickly overpowering them).
So while Marcille almost understands Chilchuck’s confidence in Laios, she tends to accidentally infantilize him in the process.
She immediately believes that Chilchuck B (the imposter, who is specifically using her own memory as its base for Chilchuck’s personality) is the real one, and says so, because she’s blinded by her perception of him as being childlike and adorable because of the very common racial prejudices that half-foots deal with all the time.
She dotes on the imposter, and is open with her affections, as usual (again, her care for him is clear), but doubles down on that bias, on her own assumptions of Chilchuck’s behavior shown through her own lens.
And ultimately, Laios was able to tell the difference, but only because he watched how the Chilchucks handled other minute tasks. Marcille’s stance on which Chilchuck was real truly did throw the others for a loop, at least until the threat passed. And honestly, that’s part of what makes the shapeshifter so terrifying. Its strategy almost worked.
