Yoonah (Park Hayoung)

Kim Ahyoung (Park Sanha)

Note: For this list, I decided not to add a symbol for shows that center queerness, because in a way all of these shows do that and at the same time almost none actually do. Queer characters and their love stories are featured in every show in this list, but most of them do not address any other queer aspects of their lives and only some address the fact that they are queer at all. This is not a critique of South Korean shows, but just an observation of their current media landscape and added as context, in case you are interested in watching.

lately i’ve been researching names that i can use for the members since i wanna try writing stories without using their real names. it’s actually hard to match names but i have an initial list of combinations. i’m just gonna drop it here for reference, in case i do use it.

brainstorming ideas: i was searching for first names which i think matches well with the members

choi seungcheol - charles auguste leon gael yoon jeonghan - julian louis hong jisoo - kylian joachim elie wen junhui - joffrey jerry kwon soonyoung - sacha cahill edward jeon wonwoo - hugo zeki eino william gabriel lee jihoon - ivan nero xu minghao - raphael louie louis kim mingyu - alexandre miguel maurice kyle lee seokmin - elouan cedric boo seungkwan - miran chwe hansol - andre lee chan - timothee

combination draft: i was testing out some combinations of the first names and see if it would fit them

choi seungcheol - charles auguste (aka gael) yoon jeonghan - julian louise (aka jules) hong jisoo - kylian joachim (aka elie) wen junhui - joffrey kwon soonyoung - sacha cahill (aka cali) jeon wonwoo - ezekiel (aka zeki) lee jihoon - ivan nero xu minghao - raphael (aka raffa) kim mingyu - alexandre miguel (aka migz) lee seokmin - elouan (aka lou) boo seungkwan - miran chwe hansol - andre lee chan - timothee (aka timmy)

final draft: i was searching for surnames that would go with the combination of first names i came up with; i resorted to using filipino old money family surnames but it wouldn’t matter with the stories

choi seungcheol - charles auguste zobel yoon jeonghan - julian louise yuchengco hong jisoo - joachim lopez wen junhui - joffrey chua kwon soonyoung - sacha cahill sy jeon wonwoo - ezekiel elizalde lee jihoon - ivan nero leviste xu minghao - raphael andrada kim mingyu - alexandre miguel crisologo lee seokmin - elouan teodoro boo seungkwan - miran paterno chwe handsol - andre uy lee chan - timothee tan

i think i’m not gonna use them immediately since it’ll take time for me to get used to it but i’m pretty proud of my work so i’ll leave it here for the meantime so i can come back to it.

━◈ WANTED CONNECTIONS ... four new ones have been added to the page!

there are tales of how dante masoe is searching for their childhood frenemy/rival, which is antagonistic in nature. the records show that they are about 25-29 years old and their photographs look like chelsea islan, jung hoyeon, deniz can aktas, michael evans behling, jane de leon, moon gayoung, madeleine madden, ozge yagiz, bright vachirawit, yamazaki kento, yuki kato, dylan wang, quintessa swindell, jessie mei li, khadijha red thunder, maris racal, mimi keene, cha eunwoo, cody christian, justin chien, samantha logan, fc ultimately utp. help us find them, but make sure that you speak to karin at @kencanas on tumblr beforehand. this is their story so far: this muse would have grown up in cynefin along with dante. they probably share quite a few mutual friends too or were in the same circles growing up, but that’s the main reason why they (barely) tolerate each other. otherwise, they get quite competitive with each other and have always been that way, never really able to see eye to eye. whenever they’re alone, dante sees no need to sugarcoat the fact that they’re not exactly friendly with each other. why the two of them consider each other rivals is up for future discussion, but i would like the thinly veiled antagonism to be mutual.

there are tales of how dante & savina masoe is searching for their parents’ protege, which is up to player in nature. the records show that they are about 28-34 years old and their photographs look like daniel ezra, damson idris, hande ercel, oh sehun, apo nattawin, avan jogia, greta onieogou, bai lu, jaz sinclair, seo kang joon, kwon nara, kylie verzosa, alia bhatt, reina hardesty, kofi siriboe, lin yanjun, dev patel, lee junho, yang yang, zeng keni, fc ultimately utp. help us find them, but make sure that you speak to karin or liza at @kencanas or @svnblinds on tumblr (or via discord if you’re already a member) beforehand. this is their story so far: neither dante nor savina is very interested in taking over their parents’ textile business, something that has always been obvious on dante’s end and her best-kept secret on savina’s end. while this muse’s personality and their dynamic with the masoe siblings are largely up to player/discussion, one given thing about them is that they’re a key employee at the masoes’ small textile empire in the valley. they would be someone the masoe parents trust with their job and see a lot of potential in. should it come out that neither masoe siblings are continuing the family business, the burden of running it may just fall on this muse’s shoulders.

there are tales of how lintang aulia is searching for their elixirs teacher, which is platonic/transactional in nature. the records show that they are about 28+ years old and their photographs look like simone ashley, clark backo, fukushi sota, julie estelle, seo yeji, keith powers, lucien laviscount, melisa asli pamuk, adonis bosso, mike angelo, devery jacobs, ni ni, courtney eaton, jung hoyeon, medalion rahimi, mena massoud, himesh patel, may calamawy, woo dohwan, fc ultimately utp. help us find them, but make sure that you speak to karin at @kencanas on tumblr beforehand. this is their story so far: despite their lack of affinity in khemia, lintang is also stupidly stubborn about feeling like they need to learn it. elixirs, especially, is something that they strongly think would be incredibly useful. now that they’re stuck in cynefin and working in verum, lintang would seek out someone who they think would be able to unofficially mentor them in the art. i imagine that the relationship is at least a touch positive, but how close they are is up for discussion, especially because this muse is largely utp. the only two things i require are that they were trained in elixirs and that they are either a verum staff/professor or cynefin resident. this connection can be taken in tandem with lintang’s regular contact or part-time employer, too.

there are tales of how lintang aulia is searching for their part-time employer, which is professional in nature. the records show that they are about 35+ years old and their photographs look like arifin putra, martin sensmeier, lim jiyeon, rege-jean page, kuroki meisa, aishwarya rai, keanu reeves, mahersala ali, elodie yung, dichen lachman, riz ahmed, gong yoo, qin lan, raymond ablack, deepika padukone, iko uwais, oliver jackson-cohen, gina torres, sanada hiroyuki, fc ultimately utp. help us find them, but make sure that you speak to karin at @kencanas on tumblr beforehand. this is their story so far: while lintang mostly works at verum as an infirmary staff, she has a tendency of spreading herself too thin to keep herself occupied. so it’s no surprise that she’s taken to part-timing with a local doctor/healer/apothecary in town. everything about this muse is utp other than the fact that they must be a medic of some kind, as mentioned above. i imagine that lintang is determined to gain their respect and/or approval, but how the current relationship is can be discussed further. they just would have to be open enough to willingly let an outsider trapped in cynefin to currently work with them. this connection can also be taken in tandem with lintang’s elixirs teacher connection.

Hi Cat thank you so much for offering fc help as someone who sucks at it. Would you be able to help me with a fc for a woman between 24-35. I'd prefer a woc but resources aren't necessary as I can make my own but would love to have suggestions of people with a lot to gif from. Not too sure how to describe their vibe outside of soft fairy aesthetic and "emotions hold power whether you think theyre useful or not" but also someone who will break rules to protect others and fight for things they believe in. Sorry if this is confusing I saw your ask about shadowhunter fc help and decided to ask (different anon) the person is white in canon but I'm ignoring it.

Aaron Lee, Editorial Curator

Enter to win this outstanding book! Are the Psalms simple poems, or do they carry theological significance? Reading the Psalms Theologically presents integrative approaches to the Psalter in an academic yet rich biblical-theological study. Read my review. Thanks to Lexham Press for providing this book for our giveaway, in partnership with my newsletters for @diveindigdeep and FCBC Walnut.

Articles From Around The Web

Tasha Jun: Moses Was Bicultural Like Me

“God chose a Hebrew raised as an Egyptian to lead his people out of slavery.”

Before we are pastors, we are sons. And that thought is worth its weight in gold. It gives us a foundation to stand upon when we face the inevitable ups and downs of ministry.

Connie Nelson: The Best is Yet to Come: How Knowing Jesus as Our Resurrected Lord Impacts Our Parenting

“We parent by God’s grace as faithful stewards of the children he has entrusted to us. Our children are a blessing, a gift to us from our Good Father, and they belong more to him than they do to us.”

The SOLA College Writing Cohort is our new writing cohort for college-age students to receive mentorship and training as young Christian writers. Editorial Board member Soojin Park will personally be leading this initiative, and she is very excited at the prospect of nurturing the next generation of Asian American thinkers and writers who will help encourage and edify the Church!

Moses Y. Lee: The Idolatry of Ministry Longevity and the Abuse that Follows

“The result of social uniformity is an inner ring of power and favoritism that looks more like a middle school cafeteria than the Kingdom of God. But pastors of all people should model what friendships with people of different ideologies, personality quirks, and “sinners” should look like.”

SOLA Network: My Church Band Raised a Hallelujah on Netflix’s ‘Beef’ (Excerpt)

Zachary Lee of Christianity Today interviewed Jason Min, and we wanted to publish an excerpt for you to read. In this section, they discuss the impact of that scene on Korean American viewers and the discussion around whether or not praise music is “emotional manipulation.”

Our Youngest Sister

Kwon Soonyoung as Arden Sadajiwa. Cho Seungyoun as Alerio Sadajiwa. Hong Eunchae as Sachinyla Sadajiwa.

Special Appearance: Choi Seungcheol as Leon Baskara, Xu Minghao as Hero Handoko.

===

"Loh, bukannya lo jemput si Achi?"

Pertanyaan itu datang dari Leon ketika melihat Arden melintasi lounge. Yang diajak bicara lantas berubah haluan dari semula menuju kantornya, kini menghampiri dua pemuda lain; Leon dan Hero.

"Kata Tuan Puteri, 'Sachinyla Sadajiwa udah gede, Mas! Bisa pulang sendiri,’ Minta gue nggak terlalu concern ke dia," jawab Arden sebelum mengenyakkan diri di sofa. "Adik cewek kalian begitu juga?"

Mendengar pertanyaan Arden, Leon dan Hero saling bertukar tatap. Tiga orang yang berbagi ruangan ini sama-sama punya adik perempuan. Hero dan adiknya hanya berjarak dua tahun, sedangkan Leon lima tahun. Arden cukup jauh, yakni 10 tahun. Tentunya situasi yang mereka hadapi berbeda.

"Aurora kalau mau sesuatu selalu bilang, sih. Nggak ada masalah selama ini sama dia," jawab Leon.

"Violetta nggak pernah begitu tapi kadang bikin sport jantung," aku Hero.

Sambil menyimak jawaban teman sejawatnya, Arden meminum air mineral yang dibawa dari lokasi meeting tadi. Sejenak ia menghela napas sebelum menceritakan apa yang menjadi tuntutan baru si bontot di rumah.

"Intinya gue nggak perlu antar-jemput Achi lagi, jadi silakan atur aja jadwal yang sama gue senyaman kalian. Gue lihat dulu sih satu semester jalan atau nggak." Sebuah keputusan diambil Arden, meski belum dibicarakan dulu dengan Alerio kembarannya.

"Good luck, bro. Little sisters are sent for us to be a better man. Kadang memang harus dimaklumi." Yang satu ini datang dari Hero.

Percakapan mereka bergulir ringan sebelum akhirnya mereka memutuskan untuk kembali pada pekerjaan. Baru sebentar Arden hendak beranjak menuju ruangannya, ponsel di saku berbunyi.

"Ya, saya walinya Sachinyla."

Percakapan dengan sosok di seberang sana membuat Arden mengerutkan dahi. Hero maupun Leon secara otomatis ikut tersentil simpatinya. Tanpa suara, Leon bertanya, "Kenapa?"

Arden melirik Leon sebentar sampai akhirnya panggilan terputus. "Achi pingsan, gue harus ke sekolahnya sekarang. Sorry," kata Arden sebelum akhirnya melesat.

---

Serangan panik. Arden tidak salah dengar.

Informasi itu didapat Arden dari wali kelas Sachinyla, meski belum bisa dipastikan. Kakak-kakak kelas Achi yang menjadi saksi mengaku pernah melihat kejadian serupa sebelum ini. Saat ini, siswa-siswi kelas 10 tengah mengikuti diklat dalam rangka kepengurusan sekolah.

Rasa khawatir yang mencekik leher Arden sedikit longgar tatkala mendapati Sachinyla berbaring sadar di ranjang UKS. Gadis itu tampak baik-baik saja meski lebih lunglai dari biasanya.

"Kamu ke-trigger apa tadi? Ada omongan kakak kelas yang bikin kamu sedih? Kamu dibentak-bentak?" Tangan Arden mendarat di kepala Sachinyla.

Sachinyla mengerutkan bibir sekilas lalu menghela napas. "Bagian disuruh bayangin begitu pulang ada bendera kuning di depan rumah, Mas," jawabnya.

Seketika Arden tertegun. Pikirannya mengembara pada tragedi empat tahun lalu.

Arden pergi dari kantor lebih awal, Alerio mempercepat kepulangannya dari Meulaboh ke Jakarta. Sachinyla dijemput kerabat karena saat itu ponselnya kehabisan daya.

Pagi harinya mereka, minus Ale, masih makan bersama. Ayah dan ibu Sadajiwa bersaudara seharusnya sudah tiba di Sukabumi lepas zuhur, untuk memenuhi undangan teman mereka. Alih-alih mendengar kabar mereka selamat sampai tujuan, keluarga menanti datangnya jasad Ismail Sadajiwa dan Larasita Ahmad tiba usai diurus rumah sakit.

Berita mengenai pasangan pesohor negeri meninggal dunia lantas terdengar di mana-mana. Arden ingat betul selama proses pemakaman bahkan hingga tahlil, Sachinyla sama sekali tidak menangis. Gadis yang saat itu berusia 12 tahun tidak banyak berekspresi mengenai kepergian orangtuanya. Achi, hanya menempel padanya ataupun Ale selama prosesi pemakaman diliput media-media besar Tanah Air.

Mengetahui cerita pingsannya Sachinyla hari ini, Arden lantas sadar apabila adiknya punya trauma yang tak terkatakan. Meski tampak baik-baik saja selama keluarga mereka mengalami masa paling berat, rupanya bertahun-tahun berikutnya Achi menunggu waktu untuk meledak.

“Mau periksa? Mas temenin." Arden mulai menggendong ransel Sachinyla di salah satu bahunya.

Pertanyaan Arden dengan cepat disambut gelengan kepala. “Nggak, mending kita pulang aja yuk? Mau bobok. Capek," tegas Sachinyla.

Semua yang mengenalnya tahu, Arden tidak akan pernah melakukan sesuatu di luar kehendak orang lain. Bertahun-tahun hidup sebagai kepala keluarga membuatnya lebih banyak mendengarkan keinginan mereka. Sehingga Arden baru akan mengantar Sachinyla.

"Oke, kita pulang. Tapi janji kalau panik lagi harus bilang sama Mas."

Atas ultimatum Aden, Sachinyla terdiam sesaat lalu menganggukkan kepala dan meraih uluran tangan kakaknya. Achi diizinkan pulang, Arden ingin adiknya segera beristirahat.

"Mas Den, cari pacar kek," celetuk Sachinyla tiba-tiba.

"Yakin? Nggak bakal ngambek perhatian ke kamu kurang?" Arden membalas ucapan adiknya separo menggoda.

"Sejak Mas Ale punya pacar aku juga mau perhatian dari pacar Mas Den juga."

"Caper sama Ezra aja, pasti ditanggepin."

"Beda, ih! Perhatian dari kakak cewek itu seru tau."

Menyadari bahwa mendebat Sachinyla tidak akan ada habisnya, Arden akhirnya berkata, "Nanti Mas pikirin lagi."

---

“Jadi Sachi mungkin punya gangguan panik?” tanya Alerio, berusaha memproses informasi dari Arden barusan.

Arden mengangguk, jarinya bergerak memetik gitar di pangkuan. “Kenapa gue sampai nggak tau dia kenapa ya?” ia menerawang.

Ale mengulurkan tangan untuk menepuk bahu saudara kembarnya itu. Arden, bagaimana pun sudah berusaha keras mengurus semua orang termasuk Ale. Meskipun mereka lahir bersamaan, mereka cukup kontras. Bahkan semua orang bisa melihatnya.

“Gue kalau bukan lo yang bilang, nggak akan tau,” kata Ale. “Kakak macam apa gue?”

Arden mengernyit ke arah Ale lantas menggeleng. “Mulai. Lo juga struggle, Le. Gue bisa jadi yang antar-jemput Achi, tapi lo yang memastikan anak itu seneng,” ujar Arden.

Ucapan Arden ada benarnya, Ale tidak pernah tanggung-tanggung dalam menyenangkan Sachinyla. Arden selama ini mengurus keperluan mendasar adik perempuan mereka, sementara Ale membantu Sachinyla mengenal dunia. Sering kali Ale mengajak adik perempuannya itu ke acara-acara musik yang mengundangnya sebagai bintang tamu.

Bukan sekadar diajak ke belakang panggung, Ale membiarkan adiknya mencoba pengalaman sebagai asisten pribadinya dan memperkenalkan anak remaja itu ke orang-orang yang dekat dengannya di industri. Sehingga Sachinyla mengenal serunya pengalaman di balik layar panggung hiburan.

Bahkan sejak Ale punya hubungan dengan Raisa, Sachinyla kini bak punya kakak perempuan. Jangan ditanya seberapa sering Raisa meminta izin mengajak Sachinyla keluar. Bisa dibilang kini Sachinyla sudah menembus pergaulan Raisa dan teman-temannya; yang semuanya menyayangi si bungsu Sadajiwa.

“Gue sampai bolak-balik psikiater sejak itu, gimana Achi? Dia yakin nggak mau periksa?” Ale lagi-lagi bertanya.

“Nggak mau dia. Kalau udah begitu emang kita bisa bujuk?” Arden memindahkan gitar dari pangkuannya ke penyangga yang letaknya tak jauh dari sofa.

“Try Ezra?” usul Ale sebelum menambahkan, “Kalau kita nggak didengerin, bisa jadi pacarnya bisa bujuk?”

Arden kembali menautkan alis sambil menatap kembarannya. “Bukannya lo nggak suka Ezra?” tanya Arden, skeptis.

“Bukan nggak suka. Tapi Ezra emang harus diawasi, udah bukan anak SMA lagi dia,” sahut Ale defensi.

“Iya, tapi lo beneran mau ngomong sama Ezra dan minta bantuan ngebujuk Achi?”

“Nggak, gue usul lo aja, Aden, yang ngomong sama Ezra.”

“Dih, at least kalau mau minta bantuannya Ezra lo juga harus nerima dia.”

Perdebatan dengan klan Sadajiwa tidak pernah mudah, seharusnya Alerio tahu sebelum mengutarakan idenya pada Arden.

“Aden, lo bisa nggak setuju dulu sebelum mulai mendebat gue?” Ale mulai kehilangan kesabaran.

“Oke, gue setuju. Tapi lo juga nggak usah terlalu keras ke hubungan Achi sama Eja setelah ini. Yang penting kita pernah kasih pengertian buat mereka.”

“Iya, iya, paham. Stop menekan gue,” gerutu Ale.

Mendengar jawaban demikian dari Ale, Arden berubah sumringah. Semua orang tahu bahwa Ale adalah orang yang paling tidak setuju Sachinyla sudah mulai berpacaran. Sehingga kenyataan Ale setuju akan melunak soal hubungan asmara adik mereka membuat Arden lega sekaligus terhibur. Pasalnya, pendirian Ale tidak muda luntur sekalinya ia berprinsip.

“Aden, mending lo cari pacar daripada ribetin urusan sodara-sodara lo.”

Komentar Ale hanya disambut tawa kecil Arden. “Nggak. RIbetin kalian hiburan gue,” jawab Arden.

she flinches on instinct , the words feel like all the electricity she’d just absorbed had migrated to a singular volt and been sent down a straight pole right along her spine . memories flash , of the only two second place medals she’d ever gotten - ever been allowed to get . of the time she’d had her leg broken in tae kwon do . of all the times she’d ever failed - that had been the only time she’d ever stopped just being Annie , stopped being STARLIGHT . her mother only ever called her Annette when she’d failed . Leon didn’t know this but that didn’t piss her off any less , because that’s what this was - another failure . she’s tried to take in too much energy and she failed . the amount almost overwhelmed her , anymore and she would have fried her nervous system but it wasn’t enough , she still wasn’t strong enough and she knew it - everyone knew it . she walks by , shoving past him “ I told you my name in confidence , not so you can use it to berate me - ”

The Left side of the chart: The Auburn haired lady at the top of the left side Reyna Hernandez. The Grey haired man on the Prep side is Barnabas Ernest Smith, The Black haired guy below Barnabas is Zane, and the Red haired woman below Zane is Molly Anne.

The Right side of the chart: The Black haired lady at the top right of the chart is Alanna Mei Gonzalez,. The Black haired Gothic-looking chick is my main OC Ravynne, and the Black haired female and male pictured near her are Leon and Charlene Kwon.
