Hi! I appreciate your blog and love hearing your takes on Jumin, especially his route and characterization. You may have answered this question before, but I was curious to hear your thoughts:

What do you think about Jumin’s normal end?

I’ve thought that it wasn’t too bad, and I appreciated some aspects of it compared to his good end or other canon endings like the Valentine’s Day DLC where he seems to be materialistic and rather than address he didn’t prioritize time with MC he just gave an expensive gift to smooth it over. Basically, I feel conflicted since I know the normal end means he gave up on the business, but I also understood it as him being less materialistic and more focused on spending valuable time with MC, like in the museum scene which I thought was really sweet. MC also seemed to have more autonomy in this normal ending with a job, whereas in the other endings I mentioned MC is just following Jumin or waiting for him to be done with his work.

Thank you! In regards to my general thoughts on NE here you go 💓

I do see where you're coming from with him perhaps seeming a bit materialistic in the Valentines DLC, but the way I see it he planned to surprise MC from the beginning and just had a lot on his plate rather than the gifts being an apology for him being inconsiderate. All of them are thoughtful, purchased over a number of months, and he went out of his way to buy them himself. Plus, if I recall correctly he was actually supposed to be away longer and MC was aware of that already, but he still made the effort to cut his trip short to be with her.

I think part of what is lovely about the good end is having faith in Jumin to love you despite his work rather than him having to prioritise one over the other to an extreme. Both can be important to him. That's okay! And even so he still puts MC first:

("A man who is swayed by emotions and ignores all his responsibilities doesn't deserve a partner like you..." is a reference to how he acts in a normal end!)

As for MC having a job, there is no universe in which Jumin would be against his partner having a job of their own if they wanted one, I promise. Put yourself above everything else, right? More than anything Jumin cares about his wife's happiness, so he would most certainly support anything she wanted to do—job or no job. I sort of address it in the post above but, in my opinion, them working together actually creates a sort of muddy boundary between business and pleasure that both MC and Jumin would definitely be better off without. In an ideal world you can both do your own thing and love each other more than anything despite, despite, despite.

I love writing. Would love to do it again someday

Enid Blyton! You unlocked some deep memory, I grew up on her short story collections (and a few series here and there).

AHH ME TOO my favourite series was Malory Towers but I enjoyed The Secret Seven and The Famous Five. Back then I used to want to be more like Darrell but I think I was actually more like Sally. Maybe I should give it a reread to refresh my mind.

Which one have you read and what's your favourite?

i can't lie to you i loveee bad endings sometimes. what if nothing worked out. what if the characters gave into their worst instincts. what if they became worse. what if there's truly no hope left. what will they do out of desperation? who will they become as their worst selves?

i had a joke about orpheus and eurydice but looking back it wasn't a good idea
