series masterlist

“You’ve been eating, right?” Wonwoo asks from the other side of the line. Your phone pings with notification just then, and you see Soonyoung’s name so you put Wonwoo on speaker to see his message.

“Yeah, yeah,” you say absentmindedly, texting Soonyoung that he could pick you up in the Yoon Holdings’ building just about anytime. “Everyone’s been making sure of that Won, don’t worry. I’m going out to lunch with Soonyoung actually.”

Wonwoo frowns at the name. How close are you becoming with Soonyoung exactly?

It’s been about a week since he last saw you because he needs to fly to L.A for a business conference. There’s still a few days left before he can go home and it’s taking him everything to not return right there and then after finding out Kwon Soonyoung has been constantly instilling his presence in your life.

“Yeah? Has he been taking care of you?”

You wonder if you’re imagining the edge in his voice, but you shrug to yourself and answer honestly. “His schedules match a lot with mine these days. So he’s been taking me to eat with him when no one else is available. Do you remember that katsu place in Hongdae? I went there with him and Chaeyoung yesterday.”

“Really?” He sounds a bit too defensive even to himself and he’s not sure if he should be glad that you’re not saying anything about it. “It’s been some time since we went there, huh?”

“Well you have been busy these days,” you try to sound nonchalant, though it’s clear to Wonwoo that the tone you’re using means you’re somewhat annoyed. “You’re the one who didn’t want to eat lunch with me last week.”

“I told you I already had an appointment that day,” he says patiently, his tone making you feel bad for being petty. “And weren’t you the one who told me not to come because you’re too tired after hanging out with Shua?”

You bite your lip at the reminder. If you’re being truthful, you’re kind of glad that Wonwoo’s away in another country for quite some time. After that talk with Shua, you’ve been considering his words, trying to see if what he says is possible. You don’t think you have it in you to face Wonwoo before you’re able to sort out your mind and his business conference couldn’t have any better timing.

Wonwoo dropped by your place before he left for L.A, just two days after you had that talk with Shua, nagging you to eat and take care of yourself because he’s not going to be able to always remind you due to the time difference and whatnot.

You don’t know if he notices the way you hug him a little tighter when he said he’s going, but it annoys you so much that you notice your heart beating faster when he pulls away to drop a kiss on top of your head, something he always does that didn’t affect you in any way until then.

You blame all this on Joshua Hong.

“–princess? Are you listening to me?”

“Sorry, I zoned out for a bit,” you reason.

It doesn’t matter that a week or so has passed since that day you talked to Shua, because the longer time passes, the more confused you’re becoming.

It doesn’t make sense, you can’t be feeling that way towards your best friend. It’s probably just your childhood insecurity creeping its way back after so long.

All should be fine once Jennie returns to her country. Shua did have a point: you have never really had to see Jennie and Wonwoo for long. But that doesn’t mean you’re jealous of her… right?

“Oh!” you exclaim when you see the door to your office opening, cutting Wonwoo off from whatever he’s going on about. Soonyoung looks at you in confusion, and you hold up a hand to signal him to wait. “Sorry Won, Soonyoung’s here. Talk to you later?”

You hear him mumbling something you can’t quite register, but Wonwoo once again reminds you to take care before eventually hanging up and tells you to say hi to Soonyoung.

“Wonwoo?” Soonyoung asks as you take your purse and phone with you. At your nod, he asks again. “Isn’t it night there?”

“Like 8PM or something. He says hi, by the way,” you shrug. “You haven’t been able to hang out with him, have you? We really should grab a date and hang out together after he returns.”

You look at him in question when the guy chuckles. But Soonyoung shakes his head and ushers you out of the office and starts talking about his day like usual.

It’s almost unbelievable how oblivious you are about the whole thing.

“Before I say anything, are you expecting me to answer or do you simply wish to unload?”

“I don’t know.” You frown, not seeing the way Chaeyoung shakes her head at you. You’re slumped on her sofa at the moment, finally tired of thinking about… that by yourself so you turn to the only close female friend you have: Park Chaeyoung. “Whatever you think is best for me?”

Chaeyoung makes a show of standing up from her single sofa to kneel in front of you, taking your hands in hers and then sends you the best pitiful glance she can muster.

“Yoon, I love you with all my heart, but you are dumb as fuck.”

“Hey!”

“You know you’re just in denial at this point?”

“No, I’m not,” you say, a little too quick to be subtle. Chaeyoung looks at you knowingly and you glare at the girl before you shake her hands off. “No, Chaeng. I am not in love with him. He’s literally my best friend and I’ve known him since we were, like, four.”

“And that matters because?” she looks at you pointedly. “I don’t see why it’s bad. If anything, it’s good because you both already know about each other so well and you’re practically aware of each others’ needs, no?”

“That’d be the case if we’re both in love with each other, okay?” you roll your eyes and cross your arms in defense, looking the other way that you miss Chaeyoung looking at you in shock. Have you really been unaware that Wonwoo has always looked at you like you personally craft all the stars in the sky? “I don’t love him that way and he doesn’t love me that way. You’re just delusional.”

You half expect Chaeyoung to fight more, but she doesn’t say anything and she’s looking at you like you’re delusional, and you honestly can’t grasp what she’s thinking of right now. She can’t possibly think you’re both in love with each other, right?

When Chaeyoung speaks once again, you almost throw the cushion on your lap at her.

“You really are stupid.”

“I did not come here to be verbally abused by you,” you whine, and it’s then that Chaeyoung realizes how utterly helpless you are right now. You’re fidgeting and you’ve been avoiding her eyes, signs that you’re lost and you don’t know what to do, that you’re hoping for help but you know no one can really help you but yourself.

She sighs and sits next to you, feeling bad now that she really looks at how lost you seem to be. Sadly, it’s not really surprising that you’re being this way. You’ve never really exposed yourself to romance, and the few boyfriends that you had were just for fun until the last one ruined it and you swear you don’t want to get into relationships again, casual or not, until you decide otherwise.

But even that particular relationship hadn’t been that deep–Kim Mingyu was simply just too charming for his own good and you thought you’re finally feeling what it’s like to be in love like those fictional characters in movies.

Turns out you were just into the idea of it and Mingyu was in the right place at the right time.

He asked you out when you were so into the concept of romance, having watched one too many romcoms with Chaeyoung for the whole semester during university. He was a senior and he was more than pretty to the eyes. Plus, Chaeyoung had also said he’s got a pretty good record.

So when he asked you out, the only thing that went through your mind was you: why not?

The first three months were great and you had genuinely liked him even though you weren’t together long enough to start loving the guy. But then you found out he didn’t really get along with Wonwoo and who knew he’d become an obsessive jerk that said shit about your best friend behind your back?

So, really, Chaeyoung can only guess why you’re in denial and why you believe your feelings towards Wonwoo can’t be romantic. She can’t absolutely speak on your behalf either, because who knows if your feelings really are not romantic and you’re just threatened that Jennie’s taking your best friend away?

There’s always a chance that everyone’s just collectively delusional.

“How about we go to Exodus tonight?” you suddenly propose, an idea forming in your head. “It’s been some time since I had the time to go clubbing and I can prove to you that I’m not in love with Wonwoo.”

“Excuse me?” she snaps, not getting where the whole thing is coming from. “You do not need to prove anything to me.”

“No. It’s been some time since I got laid anyway,” you shrug nonchalantly, not minding the scandalized look she’s giving you. “You’ll know I’m not into him that way, right?”

Chaeyoung shakes her head, telling you once again that you don’t need to prove anything to her and it’s really not the best idea at the moment.

“Why are you being so weird about this?” you frown. “It’s not like I’ve never had one night stands. It’s just been quite some time.”

She doesn’t know how to tell you that it’s not about that. That she’s simply worried you’re being impulsive and you always end up getting in trouble with your parents—and other parties—when it happens.

Chaeyoung loves you with all her heart, but she’s never been good at being your impulse control and she doesn’t know how to convince you that sleeping with some random person isn’t going to help your problem in any way she can think of.

“I just–”

“I’m going to the club and you can do whatever you want,” you say with finality in your tone.

Chaeyoung looks at you helplessly as she bites her lip; guess she has no choice but to come with you tonight.

Chaeyoung tells you to wait as she parks in the VIP section, determined to not let you go home with anyone as she won’t drink even a sip of alcohol so she can follow you around the whole night. She’s not using the valet service nor even a driver to make a point that you wholefully ignore.

“Where’s your guard, anyway?” Chaeyoung frowns, sitting down next to you when you settle yourself on the stool bar. “I thought Seungcheol’s supposed to be with you at all time?”

“He has the week off. His sister needs to get a surgery and he wants to be there with her.”

“Ah,” she nods understandingly. “I guess Uncle asks you to take one of his guards and you refuse?”

“I told him I’ll take care of his Christmas party in return,” you grin, knowing full well that he’s been desperate for you to organize that personal party of his.

You don’t hate having a guard, even more when it’s Seungcheol because, out of the guards that have been assigned to you, he’s the one that actually respects you as a person when the others usually just consider you a job. But as much as you like Seungcheol and trust him with your life, he’s still there because he’s your father’s man.

It could feel confining even when you’re out in the open at times.

You call for the bartender to prepare your drink, and whilst Chaeyoung doesn’t exactly agree with your order, she lets you be because she knows you kind of need it and hopes the alcohol would help you relax at least for the night.

So far, Chaeyoung has been able to stop you from drinking too much, but her phone won't stop vibrating and she has no choice but to step out for a moment because it’s her mom calling.

She tries her best to convince you to come with her, but you stubbornly stay in place and she eventually gives up and tells you to not go anywhere while she takes the call because her mom has called her twice more while she was trying to convince you.

It’s been quite some time since you got drunk, and perhaps that’s why you get drunk faster than usual. Tonight, you feel more agitated if anything, which only makes you fill your order faster because the night hasn’t been going according to your plan. You literally come here to get laid, but it’s not as easy as it sounds because no one has caught your attention.

It’s not like the people here are not decent. On the contrary, Exodus is a pretty high-profile club owned by Oh Sehun, yet another conglomerate you see in parties from time to time. You even recognize a few people earlier from some business parties Wonwoo has brought you to.

To make it short, this is the club only people like you can enter.

But you guess you’re not drunk enough to just sleep with anyone that catches your eyes because no one seems to be doing that.

That said, perhaps what you need is more drink.

“Well, well, look who we have here,” an awfully familiar voice greets you as you feel someone hovering near your seat.

You turn to find Kim Mingyu in the flesh, rolling your eyes to that flirty tone he’s always used even though it’s been literal years since you last saw him. You hate to admit it, but he looks better than he ever was and it irks you even more that, out of all people, he’s probably the only person who’s piqued your interest in this place.

Did he catch your attention because he’s the only one who spoke to you first or is it because he looks just about a hundred times more attractive than during his university days when he was that lanky guy with faded mint hair?

Whichever it is, Mingyu does not need to know you’re finding him very much pleasing to the eyes right now.

“Do we know each other?” you pretend to play coy, acting like you weren’t just checking him out.

“Ouch, you hurt me, angel,” he chuckles as he places his hand on his heart, mocking heartbreak. “Been some times, huh?”

You’re surprised at the tone. Mingyu doesn’t sound like he’s making small talk and you’re even more surprised when he asks if he can sit beside you. Nevertheless, you entertain him because he feels like a very good distraction at the moment.

“Didn’t know you’re back in Korea. Last I heard you’re in NYC or something.”

“I was only in NYC after graduation, which was… at least six years ago,” he says in amusement.

“Well, that’s the last I’ve heard of you,” you shrug, being truthful about the whole thing. From where else would you hear about him, anyway?

“Forgot how feisty you were,” he smirks as he calls the bartender for a drink. “How many shots have you had? Gotta keep up with you now, don’t I?”

There’s a sudden surge of boldness that runs through you that you’d blame the alcohol for, but you scoot closer to him and prop your elbow on the table, your face resting on your palm as you shoot him a wink and tell him to take a guess.

Something flickers through his eyes at the gesture, and you down another shot just so you won’t back out even though the alarm within you is already screeching–telling you to not get involved with an ex even if it’s just for one night.

“Why are you here tonight, angel?” his voice gets noticeably deeper and you have to hold back a victorious smirk at how easy Mingyu is being right now.

“Why do you think?” you challenge him once again, not moving away when his cold palm finds your knee.

Mingyu experimentally moves further until his hand meets your thigh, looking up at your face to see if you’re against the whole thing or if you’re just playing with him. When you simply arches an eyebrow as if to dare him to do more, Mingyu quickly takes your wrist and pulls you with him to a dimmer part of the club.

It’s not exactly pleasant, but the feelings of his lips against yours as he pushes you to the wall is better than thinking about your feelings towards Wonwoo at the moment. It feels easy, and easy is the only thing that your mind needs right now.

Something within you twists at his name, but you quickly push it away and try to focus on Mingyu's lips instead.

Mingyu growls when he hears you whimper the moment he trails kisses down your neck, his grip on your waist tight as he presses his body against yours.

Honestly, he didn’t expect to end up in this situation when he came up to you earlier. He was just feeling spontaneous when he saw you; so he approached you, hoping to get a good laugh or something–but there was no intention to end up right here, in a dim part of the club making out with you like this isn’t the first time you’ve seen each other since that break up during university.

He knows it’s probably a one time thing, and he couldn’t care less because it’s exactly what he needs anyway. You’ve always been great at teasing, but Mingyu has never thought he was that easy to tease that you didn’t even need five minutes to have him like this.

At least you look like you’re looking for a short lived fun like he is because he knows someone who needs a distraction when he sees one.

“Should we bring this to the hotel?” he whispers between kisses, head already a pile of mush because of the feeling of your lips against his jaw.

Mingyu doesn’t need to be told twice the moment you nod and tell him to take you.

some thots. having a bad time so this is rougher than usual. oh well

....

i guess he really does know hiim best cos if that was my mans (man specifically cos if anyone else did that id take it more srsly) i would be like oh my god ur singing me a love song? i would love it but i woudl SCREAM in embarrassment. UNLESS it was a really deep love song that's about us dying together.

like i want to eat ur skin type of thing (drain u nirvana) lmaoa but i really like this song it reminds me of that velvet underground song (the only one i know cos of juno lmao) and nico or whatever 'i'm sticking with you)

my adhd would be out of fucking control i had to spend my time listening to this looking around i kept getting distracted by a tissue and thinking "wow this song is nice but i wish it would end bc i am getting distracted" and lo and behold i paused it and i have to pee and i know it's gonna take forever to undo this

ok about 12m later i turned it back on and they kissed and then he bit the corn then that night li chen also lost his virgin teas after watching gay porn and being like "hm interesting" and he'll be like "i see, ur dick is not medium sized"

i'm honestly gagging i cannot at this 12 year old marrying his mom

beautiful theyre beautiful

ayea you fucking psycho we do too because he was 17 and we had to witness it (or well, other people did cos i didnt watch the show even tho wayne song is [BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEP] and i want him to [BEEEEEEEP] and ppl even liked it which is fine like i get it in theory but they put this in my eyeballs so i'm gonna make fun of it bc it's fuckin DUMB lmao like i can't I CANNOT and he said "u were so persistent" BITCH UR 30??!?!???!?!?!?)capi hve it on mute and i tried to get a screencap of li chen and mu ren like together and not just his face but i cant find the timestamp and seeing their faces as they get married is literalyl traumattizing i'm like scremaing at my screen going "HE'S 5 HE'S 5 HE'S 5" and every time theyre like "we acn live forever together" like no bitch ur bones rae creaking

also is the officiator white? if anyone knows why or if that's common i'd love to know more. EDIT: HE ISN'T I JUST THOUGHT HE LOOKED LIKE MOBY FROM THAT ANGLE

anyway here

i'm almost done with this fucking bullshit and i am in a really ould mood and usu they make it a bit better but imo it's kind of....annoying i guess balancing all these story elements and introducin gother couples (even in the periphery) since the story in itself can't focus. i feel like all in all the time spent with these two is a lot more limited and we get the feel for the rship because of their chemistry as actors, irl chemistry as friends and colleagues, and hopefully being happy and working on a good set. so it isn't the strength of the writing or production.

for some reason they get like less dynamic ways of being together which i think is part of their charm, they do things their own way, but the writers really should have substantiated this more. it's really just the way everyone in the show has managed to deliver these AWFUL story lines and production decisions (like seriously who the fuck was on costume? lighting?)

like maybe hot take but all the moments that are cringe and insane in the show are not pleasant, per se, because they aren't thought out clearly. so they're not a joy to watch in the normal sense but the actors are good enough to pull it off. i didn't cringe at the talks they had because it felt like actors like acting these lines out instead of us being embarrassed for it and you CAN TELL theyre embarrassed.

this is a huge kudos to the casting director and the actors and whatever crew that actually did a good job. i don't particularly like watching bo xiang and his grandfather husband not because of the content but because i feel like, to me, they're so awkward even though they have chemistry. i don't have that issue with xing si and his rapist brother boyfriend because watching them is actually really pleasant, it's intimate. this isn't to do with the story though because when it hits you how devoid this other person is and how stupid the situation is it changes (for me, for me, for me, this is all my opinion think whateverrrr u want im not telling u 2 ok!)

so truly kudos to this cast. idk if i'm misremembering here but imo the most cast appropriate series in this was crossing the line and close to you. one is a decent atmosphere and execution (yes even with that brother story line, notice the major key differences though because that's a sincere false equivalence. they try to execute power imbalances soooo badly and then fail every time but here's one meant to shock too and it was just likelmao ok girl?)

it may not make sense to say either in a writing way or for the character to do it but i believe that whoever the characters these people are supposed to be especially those super not well written on the page still get that message aacross (yong jie's actor is a good ex. not sure if i should ccongratulate him for having the worst job on earth and the worst character and his character is flat but. ostensibly they should let their actions speak for themselevs but what they do is they back themselves into a ccorner with unsuretyabout their characters or a dilemma that pops up they just want to excuse it. well guess hwat u couldnt do enough legwork. but to some extent the disposable side couple works here on a um "our eyes see them and get it" way

also to me it seems like they chose this story just to have this specific wedding. like it's a timely topic and i'm pretty sure like another provision? (correction? idk) was made WRT taiwanese same-sex marriage so it's topical but it isn't like a "papa and daddy" situation where they're interacting in it and there (for ex: the pride parade) and there being like real life terms and consequences. here it seems like they were like ah yes wedding ah yes dumb couple from modc bc we kiled off the other one sooooo (then outsource them to life love on the line u__u) then hamfisting in some fucking message which is funny bc

- despite the hints peppered in and the clear attraction they both acknowledge ur like ~not gay just him~ even tho...i mean i just. again they dont read over what they write i don't think considering. but wahtever.

- the only gay dude (verbally said) is with his rapist brother with an awful power dynamic oh or IS a rapist (gao) (or his brother but i think it was just a "im a psycho so it's him" thing unless they said it. in which case idc cos i wasnt paying attn but that's also not great) or i guess the wedding but like....that's also a ridiculously inappropriate and dumb relationship taht it's built on. i mean i don't really see much respect her so i dont particularly want to hear abt gay weddings being important when they didn't even utilize it in the story beforehand and have we ever. this is a huge indication to me that it was a reverse engineered chosen story beforehand (if it was one) or thought of

soooooo

so reversal of that....it didnt give us enough time to breathe with these two at all but for both of the actors they can capitalize what's on the page and the writers didn't. like their dynamic is very i give/you give like taking car eof each other etc that's why

again, no artist worth their salt will ever say their work meant nothing. that's a cover up. i'm sick of lazy production and then getting away with it claiming being subversive or attacking an issue by not doing anything. we show crazy shit all the time but it has a POINT and ur point is "i like the gays" then girl.....i mean it's not great

but the acting really carried it. i have a feeling if this series continues it might continue to use more experienced actors cos maybe the budget goes up but they also have less inhibitions now when it comes to acting. i like the way li chen expresss himself and teng teng too. i like anson a lot and there's some angles that did not do any favors and i think eh has to get more control of his body movements (bc he's SO LARGE and thin) but he wasn't bad at all and there were real human tears. of course i, personally, favor charles tu. he has more control over his body because he has...less to work with and he's a bit bigger and he was really great in this role. he's a himbo a bit of a meathead but you like him. you like them. there's some things i think they had them say and do that they wouldn't let happen if they stuck to the characters and the story (mainly liking that dumb idiot rapist)

what i notice is that the reprehensible actions people criticize others for in the show and in real human life lalways gets turned around. teng teng being surprised that this boy's grandfather boyfriend met him when he was a junior in high school and he's 12 years older and him apologizing for being shocked and then whatshisface going "ur better at it than most people" and then the convo about gao with whatshisface and then rapist brother comes to pick him up. they are admonishing gao but thinking that rapist brother is noble for doin gwhat he did (and oh rapist brother shows up) like the hypocrisy and the decisions are immense. so now it's like "guys see he's a great guy" like girl STICK TO SOMETHING but whatever so i live in this universe where muren and li chen do everything right and have lots of different interesting fun seex with all their friends. i would write this but i cannot i am dying

the rest... of... book 4..... through chapter 225

i sad.

“He was lying to himself and lying to others! All nothing but deceit! No matter what, it was impossible to pretend nothing had ever happened, and it was impossible to return to before!!!” - i know :(

“Before Feng Xin went, he was afraid. Now that Feng Xin had gone, he wasn’t scared any longer. But, even though he wasn’t afraid anymore, he was in deeper agony.” - ah yes. being afraid of your friends leaving so you do things to drive them away so you can have something to point to and say that you were the one who made the choice and you dont have to fear it anymore. except that has never once worked out ever and turns out losing people just means you lost them and it still hurts. not that i would know or anything.....

“He saw upon the table there were a few plates of horrid-looking dishes that were now cold. They were what he made the queen take away without eating a single bite the night before. Now, he pulled them over absent-mindedly, and ate everything, not daring to leave behind a single leaf, afraid to miss a single grain of rice. After he ate he started puking.” - this broke me and the bad cooking isnt funny anymore :(

all this happens after they have money again. no further commentary on this chapter

i know for a lot of book 3 i just wanted hua cheng to go away but now i would give anything for wuming to come and interrupt these interactions with white no-face

“Lang Ying, a brute commoner, led an army and destroyed Xianle. With the aura of the king enveloping his body, ordinary evil wouldn’t be able to come close to his person. However, at this moment, what Xie Lian brought with him were millions of souls of those who died on the battlefield!” - interesting to think about this story from lang ying’s point of view. the bit about his wife and child... oh my god... the things we carry with us...

“Will it really be alright to leave him like this? How about, I give him a cup of water?” - cup of water motif is back... ouch

“One person. Just one. Really. Just one person was enough!” - for like 20 minutes after reading this i really was just sitting here thinking about every time a stranger did me a small a kindness and the times i did the same it just made me cry harder i love people and they really can be awful and choose to be cold and cruel but it means that when they choose to be kind..... it doesnt negate the cruelty but its still indescribable.. and being able to see that and remember that even after all the pain.....

ugh still just thinking about the times ive gone through something that changed me and having the cold numb fear that i would never be the same as i was before that i would lose some precious part of me forever and wondering if this would be the thing that finally did it... i dont know if ive ever actually experienced a piece of media that really make me think about that tbh

“Stop thinking so highly of yourself! I don’t need you to teach me anything, I can learn on my own. If you represent heaven’s will, then something like heaven’s will should be destroyed!” - why is defying the heavens so sexy.... keep it up (edit after white no-face identity reveal: HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!)

the fact that xie lian went through what he did and got nothing out of it and in fact lost everything he had left due to the trauma,,,,, but just one person is enough for him to willingly offer to do it again, even if all he could save is one person,,,,,, crying again.... and who it is who takes it all on instead... ok...

“After all, everyone knew that Mu Qing ascended because he cleaned up all the remaining stubborn resentful spirits in the old capital of Xianle, so to understand it as “generous and kind” wasn’t unreasonable. In any case, everyone in the old capital of Xianle were all very grateful for him.” - its not unreasonable at all!!! this boy picks cherries for his mom and the neighborhood kids leave him alone

“Shaking his head, Xie Lian contemplated, then he ladled two large bowls of rice, one offered inside the Temple of Ju Yang, the other inside the Temple of Xuan Zhen. Finally, feeling that everything served its purpose, he clapped his hands close, completely satisfied.” - please i just want them to be friends again

ruoye........ xie lian bidding farewell to the tiny red flower.... ok i feel a totally normal amount about all these things

book 5 time!!!

xie lian king of taking a third option.. no one dies in the kiln at all we’re just leaving bitch

“Xie Lian didn’t know why he had to use his hands to cup Hua Cheng’s cheeks, but he did so subconsciously, probably so he could comfort him, but also because Xie Lian was afraid Hua Cheng’s face would be frostbitten by the snowstorm.” - gay people.....

“This giant stone divine statue must’ve been sculpted when Hua Cheng was trapped inside the Kiln, when he was severely beaten down and in intense suffering.” - ohhhh my god. okay. okay. look. i get it....

“The divine statue obeyed his command and took off with a gigantic, wide step, going along with the rolling current of snow. One slide was several miles, and the snow waves it created crashed around its body. Because both its arms were open, even though it was a body of a million tons, it still maintained good balance.” - HELL YEAH!! HELL YEAH LETS FUCKING GO LETS GOOOOO

the statue that requires transfers of spiritual energy... statue of make you kiss me i see how it is.....

“Hearing this, Hua Cheng raised his brows, his expression seeming to say, please have them beat each other to death, that’d be great.” - when you dont like your SO’s friends and they dont like you

“With a sharp sword in hand, Xie Lian was like a tiger with wings added, his might increasing exponentially, and he struck out!” - YES!!! GET EM!!!!

“No one could blame him for not knowing what was going on. Perhaps, he was confused the entire way: Why was he beaten? Why was he buried inside a wall? Why was he turned into a daruma doll? And why did he have to turn into a sword, too? There was not a single point where he’d figured out what was happening.” its okay qyz its okay i know honey me too

HELLO?? SQX IS BACK???? omg what a development omg omg okay okay interesting... okay so shi wudu would have rather died than lose everything but shi qingxuan is still trucking

“Hua Cheng responded lazily, “Oh? So you mean to say, beggars can’t save the world? Is it because they don’t have the ability to, or because they’re not worthy?” - KING okay i know this is a motivational tactic but also... who was it who took on all the souls for the human face disease and did in fact save the world back then hmmm?

absolutely enthralled by the fact that in chapter 207 we find out that the guoshi is in fact just. still here. and the name of the chapter is "Seeking Affection; Ghost King Fakes Displeasure” which i mean that happens too but fjasdlkfajsld

bruh okay. okay. okay. everything is happening okay. okay. chaos in the heavens okay. ling wen is still invited to kiss me on the mouth tho idc

“Indeed Yin Yu didn’t have enough confidence, and said weakly, “Chengzhu has shown me grace, he saved me…” “I know,” Jun Wu said. “He even helped you pacify and send off the resentful spirit of Jian Yu, who died during banishment, am I right?” - awww im glad they resolved that bit that whole situation was awful also give me the forbidden hua cheng ghost king lore...

“Yin Yu finally couldn’t take it anymore. He clenched his fists tight, his knuckles cracking, and he whipped around. “I DO RESENT HIM! I DO HATE HIM!!! BUT, SO WHAT??” - yin yu kiss me on the mouth right now

“Xie Lian hugged him. “It’s alright, it’s alright. These are all small matters, really. Your Highness Yin Yu, just live in this world for another few hundred years and you’ll know that none of that really matters. Either driven to madness or really wishing someone would die, whichever. Who in the world has never had such thoughts? I’ve even thought of massacring all in the world who had wronged me, it’s true, and no lie, I’d almost done it. But look at me, haven’t I shamelessly lived until now? You haven’t actually done anything in the end, and that’s the most important thing.” - he’s right im crying again

“But…in the end, I…still think…it’s so unfair,” Yin Yu sobbed. “If I was already destined to be no one remarkable, then at the very least, I…wanted to be a kind and perfect person. But…I couldn’t even do that. It’s really…so unfair. And truth to be told, even in this moment, just thinking that I’m dying for Yizhen, this little dummy, I still can’t get over it. I can’t even let go and die with a heart with no resentment and no regrets, what is that.” - YIN YU YOU CANT DIE NOOOOOOO youre the only man in this whole book i would kiss why does this always happen im actually really sad ;_;

“If the Rain Master was killed directly, and a better heavenly official couldn’t be found to replace her, the people put food above all else; if agriculture isn’t running smoothly, the world will be thrown into chaos. You don’t let people eat, people won’t give you a job. Besides being displeased with the Rain Master, the people of the world might also begin to be dissatisfied with the great god above Rain Master’s head. Which means, if he isn’t careful, the fire can burn all the way onto him. If things aren’t controlled adequately, it might incur riots to topple gods.” - rain master my friend rain master... also yes!!!!! food production!!!! critical!!!!!!! theres a lot you can get by without but food is not one of them!!!!!

“Feng Xin was Xie Lian’s servant, his good friend, but not his slave. He could’ve built his own home, had his own family. And he had actually already met those people, but the encounter just had to be during Xie Lian’s first banishment, the toughest days they suffered back then.” i am very sad about all of this

hua cheng in the palace of ling wen looking for the brocade immortal while the heavens are in complete chaos as the world turns on its head and STILL taking the time to beg for kisses is making me lose it fjalkdfjlsd

oh my god the guoshi and the cards thing..... hmmmm

delighted that mount tong’lu has such great significance beyond just being the kiln or whatever

hmmm crown prince of wuyong... its truly sad... but dude.....

the way that the heavenly capital is literally built out of previous gods... wow

the outright attempt to continue to cycle of trauma that failed simply bc 1. xie lian is his own person and 2. xie lian recieved kindness and gave it back to the world even to the people who refused to help him im ;_;

the absolute mess of xuan ji/rong guang/pei su/banyue/ke mo going down in the palace of ming guang... entertainment

okay i think im to a point where i dont have any possible spoiler knowledge in my brain about what happens next (only thing i have is theres a joke about he xuan eating that i dont understand yet and i think we might get like an emily corpse bride moment but if we do i dont know why) but oh my god things have escalated

#oh my god the next one might be the last??? we'll see #what a ride for real #tgcf liveblog #ty to everyone who comments or reads even a bit of these i appreciate you #mouse mumbles

Hakuoki Bakumatsu Kazama Mini Drama “Winds blowing on the street at Night”Translation

UPDATE: it is very, very, very likely that I will be bumping the CXM drama from Otomate party 2017 to november. don’t want to rush+feeling a bit lackadaisical cuz there a few sentences that I just don’t get+there are several terms I’m having difficulties phrasing. At about 65% done.

----------

Translation of the Hakuoki Bakumatsu Mini-drama for Kazama from the Hakuoki Bakumatsu Character CD for him.... aka the Warriors of the Shinsengumi game which I still haven’t gotten around to completely beating... I think? meh idc if that is the right name or not.... JP is 薄桜鬼キャラクターCD 幕末花風抄風間千景.

This was translating using two different Chinese translations.... final edits will be done after comparing to the audio though I’m not sure if I’ll bother fixing this post as I intend to make an srt file... Also I think half my posts don’t show up under the hakuoki tag for some reason.... or disappear than reappear.

enjoy...?

also should i mention the video is up now? Link to post here.

Hakuoki Bakumatsu Kazama Drama “Winds blowing on the street at Night” [or Night Winds blowing on the Street?]

Translation by KumoriYami

Kazama: Hnn. What does that bastard Amagiri mean? To actually say that I am similar to humans, and that I am interested in the Shinsengumi?

Shiranui and I are not the same./I am not like Shiranui.

The Shinsengumi is a group of people claiming to understand the pride of warriors yet call themselves samurai despite how rusty [tainted/corroded? actually says rusted ] their swords are.

To actually say that I am interested in them? What a stupid thing to say.

Ha.

There is no need to get upset about this. If Shiranui hears this, [he would] laugh about how serious I am in about denying it/laugh at me for being so serious in denying it. If it were Amagiri, it would be time for him to start preaching again.

Truly [how] beautiful, this evening of sunlight and shadow?/Isn't this beautiful, this evening of light and shadow/sunlight and shade/Isn't the sight of today's sunset turning to dusk beautiful?

Forget about what Amagiri said and go drink./Go drink and put aside what Amagiri said.

After coming to the capital [check for if it says Kyoto], I have rarely had the opportunity to go walk (through town?)/ about like this because of my duties/responsibilities.

Walking in this direction to see the temples and shrines lined up, and this interesting scenery, it can be said that there is a peace and quiet [atmosphere]/is this what is referred to as peace and quiet? [check audio for if this sounds like a question.]

Although humans are stupid/humans themselves are stupid creatures, they can unexpectedly create this kind of atmosphere/they were able to create such a view/what they build is not bad

No, I will acknowledge this matter/it should be said that this talent should be recognized/acknowledged.

However the talent in/for creating such beautiful scenery is not appreciated, and only ends up being destroyed by fighting/and is easily destroyed by fighting, which is why humans are so stupid/foolish.

The Shinsengumi is also like that.

Hijikata: Stop. Report/Identify your domain and name.

Kazama: Che....

Hijikata: Sure enough, it's you. What exactly are you doing here?

Kazama: Whether it's Ikedya Inn, or Nijō Castle, you're always appearing before me, truly what an eyesore.

HIjikata: Well, there is no harm in us settling the dispute from Nijo Castle here.

Kazama: Originally it was because you were not killed that I went into the streets to change my mood/ headed to the streets for a change of mood. [I give up with this sentence. looked at 2 Chinese TLs and this is the best I came up with.]

Cutting you down will allow [me] to vent.

There is not much difference between your skill and the man named Okita, it's only at that level /Your skill is similar to the man named Okita, however that's all it is [all there is?].

Hijikata: With only one exchange, you know of Souji. Unlike you who only knows how to cut people down without justice/righteousness/ He's not like you being someone without justice and can only kill people, Souji's sword contains his pride and soul!

Kazama: Do not bark if you are unable to accept a single blow. You've only had one exchange with me, what do you know about me?

Hijikata: Don't know anything. Also don't want to know!

Kazama: What's wrong? This was just getting entertaining for me now.

Hijikata: Your skills/abilities are very sluggish, [and] frankly it [they/you] bores[bore] me to sleep.

Kazama: Then I can help you so that you will never open your eyes again.

Hijikata: That's something that I should be saying!

Hijikata: hey, drive the cat away.

Kazama: If you bothered/unhappy/upset with it, kill it. It just so happened to come over to us. What a great guy. Entering someone else's life and death struggle/fight to the death [yet it] can be so carefree/content/pleased with itself.

HIjikata: You're from the/of the Satsuma Domain/one of the Satsuma. What did you mean by "stop turning humans into oni?" Is that advice from the Satsuma?

Kazama: It's my advice to you. Because you [plural you... so maybe 'you guys'] are pitiful.

hijikata: Pitiful?

Kazama: Can't even understand this?/To actually be unable to understand this?

Hijikata: Why are you sympathizing with us when you're with the Satsuma/As someone from the Satsuma, why are you sympathizing with us?

Kazama (speaking to himself/thought):The Satsuma and Choshu's alliance is only a matter of time/will be acting together soon. If the Shinsengumi and I end up in a conflict, it is unlikely the Satsuma will complain. However/But Amagiri will never stand idly by/stay silent, and listening to his preaching[/him harping on] again would be annoying. [check audio for Sat-cho]

Hijikata: Don't reply by staying silent!

Sheathing your blade/sword.... what the hell are you doing/what exactly are you doing?

Kazama: I'm not interested. Today I'll let you go.

Hijikata: Let me go? I can't let you off. And I'm not letting you go. [I think 2nd sentence is 'I'm not done with you']

kazama: If I kill you now it would be possible to [take] revenge/It would be simple to kill you here now, but/however what follows afterwards will certainly be troublesome/annoying.

HIjikata: annoying/inconvenient/troublesome?

Kazama: I will answer you/will answer your question . First, I am not a member of the Satsuma Domain. I only am returning a favour owed by [my?] clan, [and?] for the time being that [means] temporarily lending [my] assistance to the Satsuma.

Hijikata: Clan?

Kazama: I don't have to explain it to you/I don't ow you an explanation. I am not acting with loyalty to the Satsuma. That's all it is. But/however if I am in contact with the Shinsengumi, people/someone will gossip [roughly says chatter endlessly]. And if you choose to now deal with me under the Satsuma, it will also not end well.

hijikata: Indeed, if I cut down one of the Satsuma's people, I would probably bring problems to the Aizu.

Kazama: As for why I show you mercy, it's because you guys are indeed/truly/really miserable/pitiful.

Hijikata: What are you saying!?

Kazama: Insignificant humans are unable to use that type of serum. In the end, you [plural] trying to to wasted effort to receive my oni clan's strength is a wasted effort. [/deluded if you think you can obtain the strength of my oni clan oni strength / you attempting to receive the power of the oni will be result in a wasted effort.] [can't decide on wording of sentence so wrote down w/e. "power" can also be used to replace "strength"]

HIjikata: Oni!?

Kazama: Without even understanding this, trying to break the boundary between humans and oni is truly stupid/it is foolish to attempt breaking the differences in species of humans and oni, which is why you are indeed pitiful/pathetic. [check audio for humans and oni]

Kazma: Is the shogunate, which you're giving you life away to, really worth it/Is the shogunate worth sacrificing your lives for? I don't know what else to call your situation but sad.

Hijikata: You say we aren't aware of [the/our] situation/able/don't know how to judge/examine our situation/read the flow of the times?

Kazama: That's right. Like how a bird knows the wind, similarly to how fish follow currents, if they are unable to judge the situation, they will fall to the ground or sink. That's what happens when times change/This is what the world demands.

Hijikata: If you cast aside your belief/convictions to [simply/just to] move forward/forge ahead/when facing difficulties, you may as well go and die!

Kazama: Belief/conviction?

hijikata: To live is to carry out one's convictions/beliefs./Life is about carrying out one's own beliefs!/People live to carry out their beliefs!

Kazama: How/Truly stupid.

Hijikata: I thought you'd slice/cut this cat without hesitation/I thought you'd immediately cut/slice this cat to death.

Kazama: Is constantly killing people at random all that humans are skilled at? Humanity only knows how to kill to fulfill their own selfish desires for the sake of their insatiable greed... it's endless/there's always a fight/always fighting [???]. Why can't you live without killing your own people? Such stupidity cannot be described with words/Other than stupidity, there are no other words to describe this.

Hijikata: If we don't do that, we're not going to make it to the end/We can't live without doing this./We don't have a choice but to do this until we die.

Kazama: Indeed stupid. Can't you realize your own stupidity without dying/[needing to] die? [are you unable to realize your stupidity unless dying/you die?]

Hijikata: The weak should/will die. However even if we have to eat dirt to survive, [we will] continue pushing forward until we ultimately succeed! [i should go replay hijikata's route for this sentence lol. i'm pretty he sure says something like this... though i can't recall it right now....also don't feel like checking]

Kazama: This [conversation/discussion] is over./That's it.

Hijikata: Wait.

Kazama: Is there something else?

Hijikata: Is Kodo-san really not with you? [need to check if it's -sensei or -san here]

Kazama: Why would you ask about this?

HIjikata: I asked you a question.

Kazama: You aren't going to recapture Kodo./You're not still thinking about recapturing/getting Kodo back.

Hijikata: You can't/Can't you give a straight answer?

Kazama: I don't have to answer you. Chizuru herself can come and confirm it./ If Chizuru wants to confirm this, she is welcome to.

Hijikata: How could I have let her go to the person who's been trying to/going to kidnap her.

Kazama: One day you will know everything.

Hijikata: Hey! Stop/stop right there! [Literally says stop for me! but that sounds weird]

Kazama: You bother me again and I will not hesitate to strike./You keep bothering me, and we will fight.

Hijikata: Vanished/Escaped/Ran away..... You should hurry up and go home. Kyoto at night can get very dangerous.

Kazama: Shinsengumi.... Are they still planning on using Yukimura Kodo? They completely ignored my advice/didn't heed my advice at all, really what a bunch of fools/idiots.

Chizuru is undoubtedly their trump card to force Kodo into continuing his research experiments./Chizuru must be being kept by them to force Kodo into continuing his research./Ultimately Chizuru is leverage against Kodo to have him resume his research.

They don't understand Chizuru's true value/How could they know of Chizuru's true value [check audio for Shinsengumi being mentioned here].

Indeed, I cannot let this go.

When the time comes, Chizuru must be taken (forcibly) to my side/Any opportunity to take Chizuru must be seized without hesitation, even if that means attacking the Shinsengumi/killing members of the Shinsengumi.

end....? dun dun da dummmm

----

When I do go making the subtitle video... I’ll go and check the name of the cd. will probably use a mix of the translation and literal pronunciation of that Japanese... Also, I’m just going to tag these as ‘Hakuoki Bakumatsu’ for categorization purposes for now since I don’t really care for the Warriors of the Shinsengumi game as I only completed Saito’s route.... as I’m not particularly fond of games without story that require grinding like that...

Btw, is the way I translated Kazama condescending enough...? I try to match the tone of words used in the English translations of the games when doing my translation... though I’ll admit that this is really only a concern for things that I have audio for.

In regards to the other Bakumatsu dramas.....I believe that the Saito drama was already translated (Wind Bell), as was Souji’s (Riceballs) and Hijikata’s (Conversation over Tea in the moonlight). At the moment, I don’t know if Heisuke’s mini drama was translated (saved as image posts unfortunately so I won’t be checking it for now as it’s a pain when trying to read words that I don’t understand but i’m pretty sure it wasn’t), so at the moment that just leaves Bakumatsu dramas for Shinpachi/Yamazaki (what i think is that anyway. saved as image) and Harada’s (i think it’s with Kazama?) for this (no timeline atm for these) until I feel like checking those pics... I think? Also I’m not entirely sure that these are all Bakumatsu dramas since there is another set of drama cds that share a similar looking name.... not that I care right to figure that out right now lol....

forgot to mention: there’s one for Chizuru but she’s the only one talking in it... so iuno if i’ll bother with that cuz it’s 9 min long.

TITANS: Season 1 Full Review

Highlights

(DISCLAIMER: MY OPINION IS MY OWN AND CAN BE DEEMED INVALID TO THOSE WHO DON’T CARE FOR IT.)

Well, I just wanna start off by saying HOLD THE FUCK UP!!! I Just realized that the “Dick Grayson” episode was the last one for the season!! What type of fooler is?!?! You know before the show was officially put out there I thought it would possibly go up to 20 episodes but I see now that this is not the case. Since I decided to do this full review of the season I guess I should mark some key points in the season. I honestly don’t know how I’m gonna go about it but I’ll just go with the flow. (Hopefully, I won’t get off topic.)

I’ll edit this whenever I feel as though I am truly inspired by something or someone.

SEASON ONE

Here I go again, my dudes.

I have to say hands down the way the season ended was in the best way it could have ended.

Instead of just diving straight into the true terror that follows Trigon down every path that he takes having the episode in an alternative state in the mind of ROBIN was a very good idea. It left a cliffhanger that has the viewers easily waiting to see what will happen in season 2 of the series.

Let me start off by saying that throughout this whole season I have stated my dislike for RAVEN’s hair but in the episode “Dick Grayson” everything change... COMPLETELY

COLLEGE HAIR RAVEN IS THE RAVEN THAT NEEDS TO STAY!!! PERIOD!!

I MEAN THAT HAIR IS WAAAAAYYYYYY BETTER THAN THE HAIR SHE HAS NOW.

STUNNING!

This gif showcases my exact emotions towards the situation. But now that I’ve gotten that out of the way lets move on.

ROBIN & STARFIRE relationship

Now for me, I always wondered how they were going to showcase the iconic relationship between STARFIRE and ROBIN. I think for the most part that it is going pretty well. Its only been one season so they will [hopefully] have more seasons to grow their relationship along with other characters in the series.

I know for a fact that the “Together“ episode had me feelin’ some type of way LOL. I felt like I was watchin’ somethin’ I wasn't supposed to be looking at.

This also goes for the episodes “Hawk & Dove” and “Hank & Dawn”.

One of the most fucked up episodes of this season was the “Hank & Dawn” hands down. Idc what anybody says about the last episode being the most fucked up because “Dick Grayson” ain’t got shit on “Hank & Dawn”.

I actually didn’t know that much info on the characters Hawk and Dove. All I really knew was that they were a crime-fighting duo and HAWK was always the hard-headed one while DOVE was the one who wanted to think things through before charging into a battle.

Don’t even get me started on that Phantom of the Opera lookin’ son of a bitch. Like this dude really thought he was in the right trying to come after the people ROBIN cared about like that. Talk about pullin’ a dick move my dudes.

I truly, honestly, really can’t stand this dude.

Ohh and lest we forget that iconic scene where JASON TODD had the audacity to say, “Lights out bitch!” to the police officer that he soon after body slammed ROFL

Y’all just don’t know how that scene had me extremely fucked up. I couldn’t comprehend things for at least the next for days.

Also let’s not forget that faithful moment RAVEN’s so called mother MElISSA got her head blown off. Smh rip my dude. She tried her best to raise a half demon.

I mean that scene was pretty fucking graphic and so realistic.

But I gotta say one of the most ICONIC scenes came from the episode 7 “Asylum” ROBIN BRUNT HIS FUCKING SUIT!! The OG of the Bat Clan laid the suit to rest to become something not like Robin but definitely not like BATMAN.

But BATMAN really lost his fuxking mind when he went on that killing spree.

I mean Jesus fuxking Christ he really went in on ‘em.

BATMAN said everybody gettin’ fucked up PERIODT! NOBODY SHALL ESCAPE MY RATH!! *slams table*

I can’t believe this is one of the last things I am mentioning. It’s the scene that made me so proud of BEAST BOY! (Well it’s 2 scenes actually.)

Scene 1: Episode 1 ~ BEAST BOY’s transformation. (He has transformed in other episodes but this is one is the most notable.) The very first glimpse we see of BEAST BOY is at the tail end of episode one where he is stealing a video game. A few moments later he is seen and proceeds to run away with the game and stops in the woods to transform back into his human form.

This scene brought me so much joy because we were able to see first hand that the CGI used for it was money well spent.

Scene 2: Episode 7 ~ BEAST BOY mauls a doctor. Well, what can I say... FUCKING LEGENDARY MY DUDES!!! THE WAY HE DID THAT REALLY HAD ME SHOOK. I THINK THAT’S THE MOST EXCITED I’VE BEEN TO SEE FAKE BLOOD. (I should probably chill out with all these cap locks though.)

For this last note on this topic, I hope that BEAST BOY will be able to discover that he change into any animal if he can truly find it within himself. :)

For those of who don’t understand why I capitalize every letter in a characters name here is the reason: I do it so that the name can stand out before you read the whole sentence/statement. (If you’re thinking to yourself ‘Well duh that’s pretty obvious.’ You’d be surprised at how many people have asked me that. Whether they follow me or not...) Anyways this has been great and I can’t wait until season 2 because I feel as though Titans can go even further than this.

Okay, I have A Lot Of Thoughts about Star Wars:

[TLJ SPOILERS ABOUND]

1) The movie was way too fucking long for what happened in it. They could have cut back on a whole bunch of stuff and still had a decent movie but nooooooooo Ryan Johnston INSISTED on cramming all that shit in there like sardines. Because who ever needs subtlety right? 2) If you honestly walked away from this movie thinking that the Kylan Roe Redemption Sequence actually made him look like a good person and not someone who has a repeated & consistent pattern of being a horrible fucking human being, then you were watching the wrong movie lol. 3) Speaking of which, the best fucking thing about the rest of this movie series is the fact that Kyaln Row's story line has finally been set up so that he's the final villain. Like, we have gotten the shitty failed redemption arc crap out of the way now and there's no more turning back sooooooo can't wait for ReysGonnaWreckHisAss2k19 4) Anyway the good stuff 5) LUKE LOWKEY DISSING OBI-WAN KENOBI AND THE JEDI ORDER THOUGH LIKE :ALKSDJF:DLKJF:SDLUORUDSKJ:DSKF 6) OBI-WANS PROBABLY SCREAMING OFF IN THE DISTANT VOID LIKE 7) "SHOULD HAVE FUCKING LEFT YOU IN TATOOINE ASSHOLE!!!!!" 7.5) (When Luke dies and becomes one with the Force, Obi-Wan legit follows him around DEMANDING royalties for the "if you strike me down" shit) 8) Also, I WAS RIGHT ABT REY'S PARENTAGE I WAS RIGHT I WAS RIGHT I WAS RIGHT AND I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT HOW RIGHT I WAS 9) Because the whole POINT of Star Wars has always been about found families. 10) WHICH, speaking OF, is yet another damning indictment against Klo RowRow. Because family doesn't mean shit. Because choice is everything. Choosing the goodness within yourself is what matters the most. Because no one is born with inherent light or inherent darkness within them--they choose these things as they go on and it's those choices that matter. 11) WHICH LEADS TO YET ANOTHER POINT BECAUSE FINN!!!!!!! REY!!!!!!!!! POE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 12) THEY HUG 13) "FINN NAKED LEAKING WHAT?????" 14) "HELLO IM POE." - "I'M REY." - "I KNOW IVE HEARD" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 15) IDC IF THATS WRONG OR NOT WHAT THEY SAID BECAUSE FUCK YOU 16) REY!!!!!!!! LOOKING AT FINN!!!!!!!!! BEING KIND TO ROSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 16.5) (OT4!OT4!OT4!OT4!) 17) ANAKIN SKYWALKER'S LIGHTSABER BROKEN INTO TWO DAMN PIECES IS THE BEST WAY FOR IT TO GO 18) (SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IN THE FORCE HE'S HEAVING A LEGIT SIGH OF RELIEF AND PADME GIVES HIM A HUG) 19) (LEAVE THE POOR BASTARD ALONE HES DEAD) 20) THE SUBTLE AND INCISIVE CRITIQUE OF CAPITALISM AND WEALTH AND WAR AND IMPERIALISM, ALL IN ONE SINGLE SENTENCE THOUGH. 21) Hux is SUCH a fucking LOSER like WHAT THE FRUFKC klajd. 22) (Honestly this is just gonna make all the shippers so much MORE annoying tbh!!!!!) 23) HONOURABLE MENTION 1 GOES TO: Luke tossing the lightsabre over his shoulder and rolling his eyes and walking away LIKE THE DRAMA QUEEN HE IS (There are no more honourable mentions after this one.) 23.5) (SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IN THE FORCE VOID ANAKIN IS CHEERING IN DELIGHT) 24) Listen. LISTEN. It is in fact an intergalactic resistance meme by this point to make fun of Hux at any given opportunity, in as many increasingly bizarre and surreal ways as possible. 25) Galactic social media is just filled with shitty Hux memes 26) Most of them are just variations of "Uh hello??? I need to speak to Hucks? With a K? Rhymes with Fucks, as in, I'm all out of fucks to give abt the First Order????" 27) (Poe may or may NOT have ripped it off of a Resistance fan Twitter, but can you BLAME him when so many people are so damn creative???) 28) THAT ONE MOMENT WHEN HUX MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BECOME A GODDAMN INADVERTENT HERO BUT NO. NO. FUCK YOU!!!!! 28.5) (Shitty TLJ AU where he DOES shoot pylon rowboat and becomes an accidental-but-totally-on-purpose-for-the-lulz posterboy for the Resistance & they manage to bring down the whole First Order by just refusing to take Hucks seriously) 29) "Do you think you got him???" 30) Ok, I'm reading through this list and there isn't enough appreciation for Rose, so here goes: 31) ROSE STOPPING FINN WHEN SHE THINKS HES RUNNING AWAY AND THEN JUST CASUALLY MENTIONING THAT SHE ZAPS DESERTERS INTO OBLIVION WHENEVER SHE COMES ACROSS ONE 32) ROSE FEELING FOR THE BIG HORSE THINGIES SO DEEPLY 33) ROSE HATING CAPITALISM!!!!!!!! 34) (IN A MOVIE WITH AT LEAST ONE CRITTER THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY DEVELOPED FOR MERCHANDISING PURPOSES ONLY) 35) SAVING FINNS LIFE WHEN HES TOO CARRIED AWAY TO DO IT HIMSELF 37) (Just also want to mention briefly that Obi-Wan is also lowkey pissed that Luke just copied his shitty Old Man Day Drinks Himself To Oblivion in Solitude aesthetic, ALL THE WAY DOWN to the badly written George Lucas dialogue like HOW and WHY but most importantly HOW DARE YOU) 38) (But he will give him points for the whole "every word in that sentence was wrong" bit) 39) (He's also happy that at least SOMEONE picked up the Kenobi instinct for wrecking people by shade alone) 40) Anyone who mistakes Rey's efforts to bring that undeserving fuckwit back into the light as anything EXCEPT the actions of a pure, wonderful delightful human being who is committed to goodness and NOTHING ELSE watched the wrong movie 41) I'm sorry but you did 42) I'll probably scream abt that in a different post tbh 43) In summary: Ryan Johnston got mildly lucky and I'm prety sure the movie would have been ten thousand times worse but there was just so much stuff there that there was enough stuff to make it partially worthwhile so yeah

#v. scriptoriis #long post #tlj spoilers #star wars #the last jedi
