i think ultimately you do really have to kill that part of your brain that vividly imagines how you would redo parts of your life.

what if your doppelgänger wasn’t evil it was just a person. what if your doppelgänger wasn’t trying to replace you it was just trying to learn to be a person and you were the best model it had. what if your doppelgänger looked at you with your eyes and said with your voice that it just wanted to be loved. what then.

one thing i think is so Neat about atla is how all the main bender characters have an arc that corresponds to their "opposite" element. zuko's arc is about the capacity to change yourself and your worldview, and the culmination of his arc is learning a move inspired by waterbending. katara is all about passion and drive, wanting to become a great waterbender and fight for what she believes in, and over the course of the show she comes into her power. toph's arc involves getting free of her restrictive family and connecting with a community, and aang's arc is about learning to stand fast in his beliefs and confront difficult issues head-on. it's a beautiful bit of symmetry that reinforces the show's point about the illusion of separation

No Gain No Love is actually one of the best dramas I've watched in a long fucking time and I am so shocked that more people aren't watching it and talking about it
The female lead is an older woman (in that she's older than her love interest and most of your run of the mill female leads who are young and naive and inexperienced) who prioritises money and her career over all else and the show goes out of its way to show us how these traits make her seem unlikeable to the society she exists in while also doubling down and using those very traits to endear her to the audience
They're literally like "look at this woman she's self-centred she cares too much about her career she's too obsessed with money it makes people dislike her bc she seems cold and calculating but being cold and calculating never stops her from caring for and understanding the people around her isn't she so cool and misunderstood don't you just love her don't her flaws make her so much more intriguing and relatable look at her she's incredible"
It's just???? So rare and awesome for a show to do shit like this I love it so fucking much
#i love how two things can be true at the same time in this drama#she IS overly concerned with her side of the bargain#but only as far as to not be in detriment of other people#for example when she was making a scene at her cheating ex's wedding she went only far enough to upset HIM and not his wife#she acts kind of selfishly towards her mother#but she loved her enough to let her have the greeting room at her wedding so that her foster children could see her one last time#she didn't want foster siblings and yet HAS two sisters#she'll literally bite the hand that feeds her#bite the hand that needs her#and yet#and YET#don't even get me started on ji uk's reasons to love her he explained in the diner scene#i love complicated women being portrayed kindly

"so you meant for the comments to be hurtful but not fatal?"
it's such a specific way to frame hate comments, i'm obsessed with it. no bc, truly, how do those people justify asking someone to kill themselves in their comments? just a casual kys bc they wrote something you didn't like? what do they want to accomplish? i mean, i get the bashing, the puritanism, the pearl-clutching (i hate it, but i get it) but the casual kys comment? those make me question if people have forgotten there's other people on the other side.

A handwritten apology letter won't excuse you from trying to kill me with those hate comments. I didn't write them with such malice. So you meant for the comments to be hurtful, not fatal? Am I supposed to respect your intent and forgive you while licking my wounds? Don't send me apology letters. I have no intention of forgiving you, or settling.
#though i like their dynamic and predict i'll like their spinoff#i wished they didn't have him have a 'blackout' or whatever they called it#hate comments to this extent are becoming so prevalent on the internet and i fear it'll dilute the message#this scene was perfect though

I don't know my father. According to my grandmother, he was an asshole who couldn't even claim his own child. My birth itself ruined my mother's life and deeply hurt my grandmother.

I run my own business, so having a record won't affect me. But you two are employees. Do you think your company will let it slide?
