hiii! i’m new to this blog but i see you’ve got a free week (SO jealous) so i was wonderinggg if you’d be willing to do a leo x fem reader where they’re on a quest/mission or something undercover and have to make out to keep their cover? sorta like that one b99 scene with jake and amy ig😅
"Just to blend in?" -Leo Valdez x Reader (Friends to Lovers?)

You groaned rolling your head back as the aggravating and irritating music hit your ears, an ogre was playing make believe DJ, you can hear its gruesome nails scratching on the pad. You accompanied Leo on a quest to locate an enchanted item used in antient time to help Forge weapon and armors, Both of you settled in the corner of the night club, You leaned back on one of those wrapped cocktail tables, trying to cover Leo behind you, who was working on a machine in order to locate the said item. "Where in the hell did you get these clothes!" You whined tugging on your unnecessary revealing clothes, "Hey!, It took a lot of energy to charm the store lady, Besides, We're in a nightclub atleast we blend in." He rolled his eyes wiping the sweat building on his forehead with the sleeves of his suit, You scoffed, gaze following a few monsters who danced around with the pitiful drunken humans, Particularly on one Laistrygonian Giant who hovered over a woman his hands dropped down to grip the womans hip, licking his lips with hunger in his eyes You wondered what the humans were seeing, Are the Monsters hot with the mist? (wait we're getting off topic). You nudge leo "Are you done?" You hummed, turning back to face him "Hm?, not yet, just needs a few changes" He fiddled around with the wires on the machine, You turned your head back, Blood turning blue when you noticed the Laistrygonian was looking right back at you as its sharp teeth bit into the drunken woman's neck who was squirming around, everyone around them continued dancing as if it was a normal thing, Your eyes widened as The giant glared at you, and looked at the DJ with a nod
"Leo, Leo!, Hurry up, I think-" You tapped leo's shoulder aggressively keeping an eyecontact with the Giant, "Hold on!, I'm Don-" The music became louder, Covering the stomps of the giant walking over to the both of you with furrowed brows. You hurriedly grabbed leo's sleeve, dragging him away making him stumble over a few people "Hey!" a drunk dude grumbled "Sorry!" leo screeched, You dragged leo over to a corridor which was fortunately empty, The both of you panting "You almost made me drop the machine!" He groaned settling down on the floor breathing heavily, “yeah?, would you rather to have died?” You gently hit him in the head “that was unnecessary” a overly dramatic pout covered his face “yes but it was well deserved.” You rolled your eyes snatching the metal device from his hand, a red blinking button on it "Its somewhere here" He hovered behind you, "I know idiot, Look out for monsters" You waved the machine out in the air to try and get the blinking to stop, "You're doing it wrong!" Leo tried to snatch it away from you "I know how to do-" The both of you fought over who gets to use the machine arms intertwined as he kept trying to snatch it back, Until both of your attention was grabbed by the Giant who was all the way at the end of the corridor "Warning, Tall angry dude is coming here!!" "Thanks for stating the obvious, idiot!!" then the Red button finally settled when the giant was just about to strike "Follow me!" You ran towards the door where the machine was pointing to, leo followed "Lock it hurry!" A loud thud could be heard from outside and the giant muttering to themselves "Where do we go now?" leo asked, inside the room were tons of doors, You waved the machine trying to get signal, a loud tugging on the previous door behind could be heard "Just hide!" You grabbed him shoving him in a random room, The room was dimly lit, stairs going down "This is a bad idea!" "What makes you think theres not more monsters there?" He stammered "Just-" You were thinking of a retort but you knew he was right, You hesitated before shrugging him off. "You're really stubborn y'know, Hey!" Leo groaned yet still followed you down the stairs.
The seemingly old stairs creaked under yours and leo's weight, carefully listening for any hits of a monster nearby, The faint noise of.. moaning? could be heard, growing louder as the both of you walk further down the stairs "What the hell?" You cursed under your breath near a laugh, tugging leo's shirt forcing him to keep a straight face so he doesnt attract attention from whoever was there below. Soon enough You were in a wine cellar, with bunch of drunk and horny teenagers who doesnt look a day over 17, there were 5 pairs of couples all scattered throughout the room practically eating each others faces off, "You've got to be kidding me.." You slammed your face, Leo couldn't help but snicker behind "A make out spot hah!" You glared at him forcing your way into the end of the wine cellar, There was no point in being quiet or sneaky though, all those people there were too busy fulfilling their.. Fantasies... "we should do that sometimes" Leo smirked, making you cough, Cheeks growing red and you turned to look at him trying to keep an intimidating face as leo made his hands do a kissy kiss, You rolled your eyes, cheeks a pinkish hue then you "Accidentally" gave him a quick jab to the stomach "Oh oops" "Owh!" he said clutching his stomach, frowning up at you, You examined the wine cellar trying to find any exit but there was none… or as far as you could tell “theres no exit.” You mumbled checking the gaps of the overfilled shelves if there was a way to get our “The monster is close, we have to hide somewhere.” You gave leo back the machine so he could try and figure out whats wrong with it “adam!..” a girl groaned from across the room followed by a growl of a guy “I swear to hades, I’m actually gonna puke” Leo couldn’t contain his laughter anymore
“Dont be dramati-“ Just like that you were cut off, the both of you could hear a door breaking open from upstairs, it wouldn’t take long for the giant to come to the room, the both of you looked at each other and hurriedly searched every corner of the wine cellar for a hope of escaping “nothing!” Leo mouthed from across the room trying to ignore the couple that had their faces basically attached to eachother “Come here! I think i found something!” you mouthed back and he hurriedly ran right back over to you “i think-“ Then a loud crash from the entrance above could be heard all the way to the room below, somehow didn’t attract the humans in the same room, the both of you looked at each other with a knowing look when the old stairs creaked again, the giant was headed down muttering to himself “tsk tsk tsk.” both of you looked at each other and back at the stairs, and you could see a hint of a musty big foot.. both of your eyes widened could no longer speak, "I have a plan.." You said hesitantly cheeks turning red, You could see the giants hip, revealing more of its body as it goes down
"What is it-" Leo was soon cut of when you pulled him by his tie and softly kissed him, You didn't expect the kiss to be soo... passionate?, You could see his eyes widen but went along with you and kissed you back, a hint of pink in his sunkissed skin, You could smell Leo's cologne up close.. It was so intoxicating(in a good way) You guided leo's hands to your waist trying to make it seem more believable, The both of you were clearly flustered, you just hoped that Leo's cologne was strong enough to hide the scent of the both of you, you tried to to focus back on the monster and trying not to melt into the kiss, from the corner of your eye you could see the giant peaking under the stairs examining the room and hissed "Tsk", Suddenly Leo pushed you back into the wall kissing you in a slow and playful rhythm, You were sure you were gonna explode any minute now from embarrassment "Shh, eyes on me." He whispered before taking another kiss, You couldn't tell what was real and what was not anymore, You thought he wanted you to keep your eyes on his so that the giant doesn't notice, right?, I mean this was your plan.. Why are you so flustered right now??? "Its just for the mission" You think to yourself, a hint of vulnerability in your heart, But you snapped back to reality when you felt his heart beating fast through his suit, he still kept tight grip on your waist, his other hand found its way to cup your cheeks, finally after what felt like minutes the giant finally went away with a huff, so the plan did work!, now it was time to stop kissing right?, But leo still hasn't noticed that the giant was long gone, and was still softly kissing you, You pulled away slowly, Your eyes kept in contact as you pulled away with a breathy gasped "Uhm.." "Ehem.." The both of you were flustered, You pulled away from his grasp acting like noting happened, trying to act busy examining the room again for a way out, but your mind could't help but replay the moment in your head, He cant lie and he didn't miss the way your lips parted just to kiss him back. Wait, what are you guys thinking? it was just for the mission, nothing else, no feelings attached, right? "Can we atleast talk about it-" Leo mumbled behind you, cheeks flushed, you tried to ignore him checking the shelves once more before finding a hidden button hidden underneath the off brand wines "It was just to blend in.." You finally answered, remembering the words he spoke to you earlier, still feeling embarrassed, not like you can confess when you're in a life and death situation, but still those words hit like a dagger to his heart, Yours especially, denying your feelings for him, oh if only you knew how whipped this boy was for you, There was a hint of disappointment mixed with embarrassment in the air, You couldn't even hold proper eye contact with him without the memories appearing in your mind, and the smell of his cologne lingered in the room, "C'mon, lets get out of here."

Red Dead Modern AU: Synth Edition!
Sorry it took me so long to get it out there but it's here now and I love what I've made up so far >:D
They live out in the country first of all. Let's just say the town is Valentine (cuz I like the name). Dutch Hosea and Susan all co-own a big two story house (similar to the shady belle one but smaller and better kept together) and they own a decent plot of land where there's a handful of mobile home style smaller houses that the rest of the gang live in (some have tents and cars and stuff like that too) They also have cows and horses on their land too. There's and old run down church not far from the camp that's near a creek so they had a stock hold of stuff there (Reverend chills there too cuz I said so).
Now to get into the individual peeps.
So the town of Valentine is pretty far out there so they don't have a fully functioning police system, Dutch offers his men to help with standard stuff and to still have crime control without having to call out an actual squad of police (kind of like in Rhodes with the Grays) Colm Odriscoll also has a couple of his men in the basically volunteer police department so there's some rivalry there. The real rivalry started with a bar fight in the 90s between Colm and Dutch that ended with Annabel and Colm's brother both dying (they "took it outside" into the woofs so there were no witnesses besides them and Hosea) Basically they were both like "I won't turn you in if you don't turn me in" so it was a stalemate. Colm ODriscoll owns one of those all boys reform school ranches that turn out to be abusive, that's where Kieran works as a stable hand of course (Colm has his gang of people aside from the school). So basically Ducth has somewhat control over this town plus a rivalry with Colm. He's still a little crazy so he basically how they get Kieran to join there side is threatening him with incriminating evidence agaist him (dutch knows the reform school is bad so he's like "Hey kieran ur gonna get arrested big time cuz u work there even tho you didn't do anything we have this fake evidence agaist you so join us instead) so now he just is a stable hand at a different place. Now as I mentioned Strauss is the most tech savvy of them all (surprising ik) because he basically scams people online. So strauss is usually on the family computer which is just a clunky 2000s pc Hosea bought cuz he wanted to be cool and impress the kids. How they met John is that he was about to get dragged away by some police officer cuz he didn't have a guardian around or something but Dutch ran up to him like "That's where you are! Moms worried sick. Don't you ever run away again r- uuuuh *looks to Hoseas* rrrip...Van Winkle! Let's get you home, thank you officer." And the rest was history ig
Arthur: helps mostly on the farm with the cows and stuff (cowpoke lol), owns a really beat up truck (John crashed it)
Dutch: no license lol, manages money for the farm, selling etc., is a conspiracy theorist he has one of those red string boards, probably stays up all night looking at his phone (facebook), tries to be "hip" but fails miserably, infinite amount of Hawaiian shirts where dies he keep getting these-
Hosea: used to own a motorcycle, crashed it unfortunately, shoplifts because he thinks it's funny, is actually cool unlike Dutch, has a garden.
John: dropped out of highschool rip, ran away 100 times as a kid but always called when he was like somehow 15 miles away like "mom come pick me up I'm scared", duct tapes whatever is broken no matter what it is. Works with cows on the farm but usually let's arthur do the actual work
Tilly: most put together of the main family. Student teacher at the school, likes hunting and has deer antlers in her room, helps mostly with the horses on the farm.
Charles: national park ranger (works at the nearest one even though it's still a 2 hours drive or something like that so he wakes up really early), has a blog about nature and park rangers stuff.
MaryBeth: has a book club (they meet in the cafe every Friday 3 pm), fanfic writer, would have a pretty huge following
Pearson: owns a cafe (saves a table area for Mary beth on fridays), has a huge postcard collection, watches cooking TV shows religiously lol
Susan: facebook gossip (has one of those old lady groups), principal at the school, cigarette mom
Sadie: Works for animal control, owns a cabin with Jake
Kieran: loves bass pro, works as a stable hand, plays those stupid horse care mobile games, has a yt channel (centered around horses)
MaryBeth: has a book club (they meet in the cafe every Friday 3 pm), fanfic writer, would have a pretty huge following
Susan: facebook gossip (has one of those old lady groups), principal at the school, cigarette mom
Sadie: Works for animal control, owns a cabin with Jake
Kieran: loves bass pro, works as a stable hand, plays those stupid horse care mobile kids games, has a yt channel (centered around horses)
Trelawny: van life style travels around the country in a caravan, also has a yt channel the videos usually only have a couple likes, maybe one or two comments (centered very random stuff mostly magic tricks)
That's all I've got but RARARRA THE LORE I WILL GO INSANE PLZ ASK ME ABOUT IT!

@eventide-roses asked:
I would like to drop in something that has been.....kinda bugging me??? Not really bugging, but idk if you can even make a theory off of it. It's more Xanvid inclined anyway (and ig Teruvid if you squint really hard), but it's something that I found kinda interesting imo
Ask yourself this. How much screentime did David even have before chapter 2? I find it odd (my brother and I joke about him being the "Levi" of chapter 1 - having very little screentime) that he wasn't on screen for.....really most of chapter's 1 daily life, except for when he intervened Teruko and Xander's conversation in the dining hall (where he went on about how there is so much pressure on his shoulders from being looked up to a lot). Keep in mind Teruko knows his optimistic facade is merely an act. Lots of ppl (included myself) think that David only intervened cause he was watching Xander and Teruko, cautious cause one person knew something that they shouldn't have. But that also sounds a little too cautious, wouldn't you say? Sure, as an inspirational speaker, you are expected to be always happy and cheerful, seeing the world through rose tinted glasses. But surely, as a human being, you are also not immune to being sad. His slip up in the introduction just sounded like an introvert to me. Maybe a bit of a bitchy introvert, but not......something worth total contempt from someone. Yet, David is paranoid enough to keep to himself for the majority of chapter 1 and (most likely) just watched Teruko and Xander's interactions carefully. Why would he do this? Obviously he doesn't want anyone else to know about how his facade is just....well, a facade. But it honestly seems like he genuinely values Xander's opinion about him. He doesn't want anything negative to smear Xander's opinion about him. And keep in mind, ever since the killing game was announced, David (most likely) automatically went in his head "Well, it's only a matter before we all die" yet he still desperately tries to keep up his happy go lucky facade, even when he knows he could die the very next day
I found it kinda odd he never really played a big part until after chapter 2, episode 4 where he became the so called 'leader' and started the plan to share secrets again. But wasn't this also after the end of the first trial where he says "I lost hope, I won't bother to keep it up anymore, we are all going to die here" <- paraphrasing rn, don't kill me. And yet he STILL tries to keep up the persona. I remember one blog made a post about how David's plan was actually better than what the cast could've done (sit around the let the motives be revealed or reveal them without permission) which I agree with. But then it backfired and everyone started to gain up on David during the trial. I think the straw that broke the camel's back was when Teruko said David has been faking not only his personality, but also being a good person. Like damn girl, you think he's a bad person just cause you caught him saying a few negative things to himself? It fits with her character of not trusting people, but still. All that was revealed about his 'true true' personality was that he was some mildly bitchy introvert that wanted to sleep in I have no idea where I am going with this, but these are some findings that I thought was interesting enough to share with you (hopefully I'm sending it to the right blog as well). I guess what I'm trying to say is not only does David truly care about Xander, but possibly everyone else in the cast (he probably even had some respect for Teruko, until Xander died, which is a whole other can of worms, but I also think he blames her for Xander's death and her secret he received in chapter 2 only verifies his belief) And (this is also an extremely long stretch but also worth considering) the gag comic that the dev made I think? 2021 ish? Where David received too many letters and he was worried how he would get through all of them? It wasn't even his idea to throw them out, it was Whit's (to which, David even asked him isn't that a little mean?). It shows that David still cares about his fans (again, it's a really big stretch, but still has the character's canon personalities, since the dev themself made it)
first off, thank you for the submission lexi! i hope you don’t mind that i transferred your ask to this blog ^^
Tumblr media
and yeah, i noticed these things too, but in my opinion it may mostly be an indication that david is adamant about maintaining his persona and what the cast expects from him.
(take this with a grain of salt)
despite his (at the very least) pessimistic dialogue at the end of chapter one, i think he tries to consistently keep the “ideal image” that the rest of the cast expects from him as the ultimate inspirational speaker—leading the group, presenting that entire plan (despite likely making it up on the spot), etc—in the beginning of chapter two. similar to what you said, i think it’s a very interesting contradiction to have david act so pessimistic and say that they’re “all certainly going to die here,” and then suddenly find him within the next few days leading the group and doing everything he possibly could to keep his plan going. like i mentioned in this older post, david’s plan was likely better than any of the alternatives—and based on the fact he could potentially convince everyone to follow a separate path from what he outlined in ch2 ep4, it’s likely that he wasn’t actually attempting to “foster the right atmosphere for murder to occur,” like he claimed in episode 11.
so if he was trying to help and prevent another murder despite the (very) limited means to do so—despite him clearly saying how they’re all going to die the chapter before—it might point to the fact that david is pressured by his own reputation to act in a way that is fitting for an inspirational speaker, regardless of all of his slip-ups from earlier. after all, david may have felt that it was wrong to watch all of the discourse happening in ch2 ep4 and not do something about it, especially since he has a career that literally helps other people for a living.
however, this internal(?) pressure could imply that he sets unrealistic expectations on himself to maintain that image—which might explain why, despite his slip-up in the prologue only showing us that he was more pessimistic and lazy than the cast expected, he was paranoid enough to check on xander and teruko. as implied from the MV and all of the secrets that it has, there’s a lot of evidence that points to david not feeling human (the dolls, the albino mouse / arabidopsis / footnote 2)—instead, he thinks of himself as a sort of “model organism” and someone who’s supposed to hold up an ideal for everyone else to follow. if this is true, this may explain why he felt cautious enough to go out of his way and monitor(?) the two people who may know something past his persona/reputation—true, it is only human to feel negative emotions and express them outwardly, but in david’s case he may hold incredibly high expectations for himself as a role model and pretend that he’s immune to those emotions. after all, he doesn’t feel like he’s human.
i also agree on the “he at the very least had an iota of respect for the rest of the cast at one point” part <-paraphrased. no specific evidence for this but i might get to it later
i hope you get what i mean. (-.-;) thank you again for the submission!

Is it me or does it feel like our fandom is slowly healing? Positive vibes everywhere and I have seen so many funny posts in a row, sometimes I can't stop laughing. I am glad that the boys can enjoy their break but the fandom is kinda coming back to life again <3
Well...i think it's also because the Rammstein tour is over and the band are out of the limelight, that always causes less fandom sharing, and also because of it the media attention (and with that the fandom attention) to the allegations has died down a bit.
'Our fandom' has always been pretty varied imo, and that's probably that way in many fandoms. People like the band for different reasons and that's okay; i know peoplewho went to the live shows because of the great show ("the music isn't really my thing"), some people like to watch the good looking pictures, some fans think Rammstein is Till and some random musicians (like when a while ago a part of the fandom leaked that Rammstein would do a cover of a spanish song, and i turned out that was for Till's other band), some are in it for the dark lyrics, some have no idea what the lyrics are about but like that they sound cool, and some find support in Rammstein in a difficult period in their life 🌺
The Rammstein fandom has probably changed over the years, especially social media wise. Some people post a lot quality stuff and at some point loose interest, move on with their life, don't spend as much time on social media. If i see some of the older posts here on Tumblr that easily got 300-400 notes, and now, especially out of tour season, you're lucky if you get 50-100. I'm glad i wasn't here during the Mutter era fall-out, because i'm sure i would have left knowing there was all that trouble in the band. There are some great Tumblr blogs i started following when i just got to Tumblr, who haven't posted in years, some stopped before 2018 (even before the Untitled album and the staidum tour), some we lost this year; some because they don't like the band anymore, some because they don't deal well with the negativity vibe of others.
Also, sometimes i'm amazed how different X, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, Tiktok or Tumblr are, fandom-wise... That already struck me before, but since the allegations surfaced it's imo more polarized than before. I saw some people (on other sm) join the discussions with 'I don't really follow the band, but am interested in what's happening now', some have made up their minds as soon as the allegations started and started cancelling Rammstein, some have gone the other extreme and, now that some allegations haven't been proven, consider anything that has come to light as untrue even stuff that has been plain to see for years (which has again others argue 'if it's plain to see for years, you knew that it happened and you condoned it, so you're just as bad'). Some are only now reading the lyrics and consider them 'reality'. Some condemn Schneider for sharing his IG post. Some have come up with conspiracy theories that it's all a controlled 'setup' from 'the left wing media' to bring down the band. Some right wing fans now consider Rammstein right-wing too, because left-wing people are vocal in the allegations (That last part is probably what annoys me most, that some make a political topic out of it.).
I think this allegations stuff changed the fandom, and i think it has changed the band as well. That is not necessarily a bad thing, life is change, and i think the fandom had a major reshuffle because of it. The band will build on this together, like Schneider said 'all six of us'. And so can we 🌺

I used to be on tumblr in the Green Day fandom back in 2011-2016. I lived through the 21st Century Breakdwon release, the iHeart Radio meltdown, rehab, Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction. I made some great friends that I still keep contact with to this day. I used to make edits and gifs and write fics…. I just stumbled on your blog by accident and you made me feel all the things I felt back then. Thank you. I’m 30 now and my 20s are long gone, but you made me feel 20 again.
Oh, wow, we just missed each other! I got into Green Day in 2017 after seeing them on their club tour at the end of 2016!
(Villain origin story: I had never really been into Green Day, but my dad was always really into punk rock and liked Green Day. I remember him telling me that it was lame that the East Bay Punk scene turned their backs on GD for wanting to be successful. I'm from New Jersey and my favorite venue in the whole state, Starland Ballroom, posted on their FB or IG or something that Green Day tickets were going on sale in a few hours and I was like, oh, huh, maybe that can be a birthday present for my dad! So la di da I easily got tickets, stress-free (AS OPPOSED TO NOW, WHERE IF GD CLUB TOUR TICKETS WENT ON SALE I WOULD BE SHITTING MY PANTS AND WORRYING FOR DAYS ABOUT GETTING ONE) and my dad and I went and it rocked my absolute socks off... and here I am lol)
I've made soooo many great friends through GD fandom also! Omg, you seem to have done a lot, I wonder who you are??? Haha. I've probably read your fic and reblogged your gifs/edits.
I'm glad I was able to trigger some nostalgia! Although, I would say, I don't think there's an age cap to fandom. Like, you don't just stop having interests and hobbies once you hit 30. I know there's a lot of 30+ people in tumblr GD fandom, and I have a lot of 30+ friends I've met irl from going to GD shows!
So I hope you drifted away from fandom because of your waning interest in Green Day/fandom, and not because you felt "too old" to be tumblrina, haha.
I'll admit, I haven't been throwing myself into tumblr GD fandom like I used to the past couple of years, but the pandemic was whack, and any sort of social media made me really anxious lol. Like I used to overshare a LOT on here, and maybe I'll go back to that, but I realized... that I sacrifice some of my "real" life to be online. Like, I'm personally not able to maintain my irl friendships and hobbies etc. while I'm obsessing over GD and posting about it online. HOWEVER, I don't think I would ever delete this blog unless I got famous or something lol... I would keep it up as an archive, cos I know I've always been really sad when online friends would delete ;-(
ALSO... idk if you've heard about the J**y situation... you can prob find my posts about it, but I think it led to BJA being less active on social media, which weakens the parasocial relationships which affects the Obsession™... Uhg, 2017/2018 was peak Bibbie.
Lastly... idk if you're still into GD fanfic, but the last couple of years have been a RENNAISSANCE... so go on AO3 lol
But anyways! Thank you for this anon, it was really sweet ;-;;;

Strangers From Hell Live Blogging
I usually stick to my planned shows in a planner order but randomly wanted to watch something dark, so landed here even though it wasn't on my To Watch List.
Do wanna do a proper live blogging, so think I'll only do my favourite parts or things that give me a strong reaction
SPOILERS! I also know some spoilers like Lee Dong Wook's character is a cannibal dentist? or something and also he kills our main character or the other way around, I didn't register the names
Ep 1 (Jan 19)
was afraid we'd get a whole lot about gambling for a sec. Hate gambling in shows so bad omg
bruh is that a real gun or fake wtf girl I'm scared the "crazy man" is boutta kill "the pervert" while playing
lol on the nose with the You know the best part about living here? Nobody cares if anybody here dies
okay it's a fake with play bullets or something ig
damn, Jongwoo fucked up that guy who was beating up someone else bc he got flashbacks to his time in the army
damn someone made a hole to peep into Jongwoo's room
oh the quip about the "he's not stuttering right now" was leading up to the fact that they're twins. i was wondering if mans was faking it
So far, quite unsettling and I'm liking it. Also fun that Jongwoo can't quite tell what's going on or what's happening but we the audience also can't always tell what's really happening vs what's Jongwoo's imagination or dream (like the pervert just continuously saying 'should i kill you?' which was also when the ganster guy found the play bullet thing in his room which was real but it lead to Jongwoo's bloody dream so was the pervert part real?)
Anyway, time to go to bed because it's 12AM and I have to get up in 7.5 hours and I can't handle scary or unsettling things later at night
Things we know that Jongwoo doesn't:
The Pervert is making a hole or cutting the floor or whatever upstairs (in the 4th floor where nobody lives?)
There's a hole in his room that someone can see through
The dentist mans who isn't even involved in the story yet is fucked up
Ep 2: Human Nature (Jan 20)
I hope we stay mostly at the creepy weirdo apartment instead of Jongwoo's freaking workplace bc that gives me more anxiety and stress than the murders or whatever's boutta happen in the apartments
Everyone at this fucking place just has terrible dreams of death and murder, huh? including the gangster. anyway he wants to move out so I'm assuming he's gonna die soon. not to mention he's fucking going to the women's floor that's supposed to be off-limits and empty but the pervert's out there digging the floor there anyway
what the fuck a dead body with blood, how long has the fucking body been there
oh damn one of the twins struck the gangster down?
I wonder whether the landlord knows about the killings and weird happening on the 4th floor or not. her talking about how after the gangster leaves, only good people will be left was sus and creepy
so one of the twins deposited the dead cat?
okay so that specific twin (giggling, stuttering) killed one cat but the others were scorched and burned, so either his other twin killed them or it was the dentist
oh is that missing person poster of the guy who's dead and stored in the 4th floor?
hmm "that guy" that the twins keep talking about. the dentist?
Jongwoo's anger issues and uncontrolled outbursts is interesting because I originally thought he'd be very much the odd one out but he also has darkness in him (even if it's not cruel and sadistic like the other neighbors). like even though that was his imagination of standing up to the hyung boss man but when he beat up those guys in ep 1 was def an indication of what he's capable of
Okay so here's the thing right is the dentist and the "calm creepy" guy in the apartment the same guy? No? The dentist looks like Lee Dongwook (which he is) while the "calm" guy looks kinda like Lee Minho lmao. okay lmfao this whole time for some reason I thought the dentist and the smiley calm creepy guy were supposed to be the same person and kept getting confused that they literally didn't look alike and also was like why would a dentist be at that dingy place wtf but turns out they're unrelated. actually i guess the reason i thought they were the same was bc i knew the smiley guy was up to something weird and terrible for sure and thus thought he was the murderous creep dentist everybody kept talking about
That was hindi in the notebook of the old tenant guy? I saw a comment about how the old Pakistani tenant had a really sad backstory hmm
oh this lady is for sure in on the men making the tenants disappear
bruv, isn't he the police? he should be able to escape the chokehold imo
also the smiley guy is so ? why is he killing a detective or police officer or whoever like how are you gonna hide all of that
ohhh the dentist has a cult I see. In the volunteers I can spot the dentist, the twins, and the landlord lady but not the smiley calm guy though I guess he's one of the guys. will the police lady realize who's in the pics since she's seen one of the twins? Also, I rewatched the dentist and police convo and he mentioned meeting Mr. Park the other dentist at volunteer work, so is he also gonna be involved?
lmfao the convo on the roof with "like it?" "i thought you and i could be the same type of person" is so gay like that's how people talk about homosexuality and that's how confessions sometimes start in BLs. except this time it's murder and horrifying torture!
Things we know that Jongwoo doesn't:
The location of the gangster and also the previous Pakistani resident
Ep 3: A Secret Whisper (Jan 20)
kinda fun how casually the dentist strangles the smiley guy
Was the "I thought you and I might be the same type of person" just in the dentist's head? This show kinda reminds me of Midnight Motel in terms of showing the thoughts and scenarios in the characters' heads, though this is showing much darker scenarios and dreams generally
lmfao Jongwoo being so eager about crime fiction and writing about a murderer who kills the same way the dentist just killed lmfao so funny The Dentist falling in love with him or what and then Jongwoo being charmed by him due to the flattery oh silly man
oh that diary is so fucked. people definitely going into your room
somehow them actually burying a body (the police officer's? the smiley creepy guy's?) seems so mundane like ah yes the murderers must dispose of the body (though does the pervert's ankle bracelet track his location?)
What makes the people who live there just keep writing 죽어 repeatedly while in a trance-like state
let's go back to the dentist extracting the teeth bc that's better than the hell that is Jongwoo's internship bruv I really can't
oh lmfao the models in the dentist's office is made of real teeth i guess? or is he just storing them as fucking stones for rings he's made
oh okay so the landlord lady was a caretaker for the twins at the orphanage
pls the twin appearing closer when Jongwoo peaks out from behind the wall freaked me out + kept being nervous that somebody's behind Jongwoo
ah lmfao ofc the dentist is indeed behind Jongwoo
so do they put a dead cat toward the top and keep the body underneath?
what did the dentist feed Jongwoo ahh is it the gangster's corpse?? cannibalism? pls the dentist really just says what it is but makes it seem like an out-of-the-world idea like "oh i thought there was a body or something" in the bag and now asking if Jongwoo thinks it's human meat or something ew
Things we know that Jongwoo doesn't:
The creepy smiley guy and gangster are both dead and everybody else in the apartment is in on it
he ate human meat rip
Ep 4: Mental Derangement (Jan 21)
It's translated as something like it's delicious but the dentist uses the word 죽어 in it like "it's to die for" lmfao yeah that meat is to die for pun
girl, did Jongwoo's Sergeant in the army also eat human meat wtf or is it just his dreams and real life traumas getting mixed together
okayyyyy I was wondering if the dentist is only good and great with his patients (that one boy was doing great with him) but seems like he may have scared the girl in the car or she saw through him or something
fuckk when they were talking on the phone or texting they seemed meh but now that Jongwoo and his gf are talking irl and being cute, it's soooo endearing I'm
wow Jongwoo's workplace is really gonna kill me
So the landlady saw Jongwoo conversing with the police and the dentist may or may not have seen Jongwoo conversing with his gf (idk if that was jongwoo's imagination or not...)
damn, so the apartment duellers really fucking take people just off the streets to kill and eat? bruv, how are the police only now tentatively investigating them
oh so at least the bodies are being found even if nobody's connecting them with Eden Studio
the subs just completely ignore hyung and such even when JaeHo's like "stop calling me hyung at work" instead of dapyonim
naurrr miss police officer letting out too much about the cat deaths and goshiwon Eden Studio suspicions to the literal mastermind dentist behind it, hope you make it out of the show alive miss girl
What are the clues police lady has so far: the cat deaths near Eden studio, missing people from Eden studio, the twins' videotape - does she realize the woman was the landlady?, one of the twins was wearing the Pakistani guy's watch
The landlady ajhumma is kinda nervous around the dentist and even asked him if he'd kill her bc of her recklessness hmm
I like the shot of Jongwoo walking around the floor and encountering walls everywhere with so many voices in his head. I guess the ajumma fed him the drink to knock him out as they deal with 303 creepy guy's body
Ep 5: The Notebook of Malte Laurids Brigge (Jan 21)
oh my fucking bad, they talked about dealing with room 303 which is Jongwoo - he's supposed to be a replacement for 302 who was the creepy smiley guy
I hope there's a gifset of the parallels between everybody looking at smiling at Jongwoo and the pervert's altercation vs the gangster and the twins previously
bro what the fuck is the "are you filming me right now" "you looked pretty" exchange like evil gay dentist
dang, was the dentist tryna sus out Jongwoo's bloodthirst levels on the roof lol
rip Jongwoo sending home money and thus having less to move out
oof the landlady told the dentist about Jongwoo and the police officer, who the dentist was already ready to kill
the landlady really got the old lady to drink blood, I wonder who that is and why she wanted that health insurance
byee this annoying reporter hitting a nail on the head like maybe a serial killer lives in your goshiwon, imagine living next to a corpse, etc
the cop going everywhere, including the fourth floor, without backup is so alksdfj
the pervert following behind the cop and hiding when she turns around is so
fuckkkkkk the lady fucking escaped and everything only for her to run into the dentist instead of catching up to the cop fucking hell
oh was that thing that the landlady made the old lady drink not blood? I thought it was just terribly coloured blood but seems like it's "mushroom juice" that's lethal cuz that's how they're killing this street lady. i assumed the old lady had just been knocked out but is she dead too
lol so is the dentist fr following Jongwoo around. his practice is deserted and instead he's sending Jongwoo texts like "don't you just wanna kill him"
is Ji Eun really gonna cheat on Jongwoo with the boss man guy? pls T.T no
naurrr fuck Ji Eun now going to see Jongwoo at the Eden Studio but Jongwoo's drunk at the police station fucking fuck
ah shit the dentist has not met Ji Eun outside the studio
this show is making me so stressed
I think this is my fave episode so far, it's got so much suspense and Things Happening and stress
Ep 6: Lost (Jan 21)
lol I'm so dumb I keep reading the episode on-air threads on reddit or going through gifsets of the odd number ep before I finish the even number ep and so end up getting spoilers. I read the 5-6 on-air and learned that the dentist knifes one of the twins oof
T.T I don't want Ji Eun to go into the building T.T I can'ttttt I hope she doesn't die soon
well at least she's not dying this time but everybody's aware that she trusts the tenants so little that he'd bring the police to the place
no she's right like why does Jongwoo still stay here and I get her point like "there are people who are stranger than them although they don't appear to be" bc she might interpret Jongwoo's fear as ableism but like miss girl rip
Whose photo is that in the metamorphosis. Jongwoo and gf? so the dentist is the one who's been going into his room?
oh... that thump thump was from the dentist living on the 4th floor and bouncing that ball? I originally thought it was the pervert digging a hole on the fourth floor
girl why does Jongwoo just keep drinking the stuff the lady gives him alskdfj he knows her eggs are bloody at least, so he should be more suspicious of other stuff
The giggly twin saying the landlady is the scariest person in the whole place and the landlady saying she raised the dentist. okay inch resting, was this also at the orphanage
and so it's like the landlady was the original recruiter? and now the dentist is trying to recruit someone as well? he failed with the smiley creepy guy but now it's Jongwoo
damn, Jongwoo fr tempting all the tenants into killing him or what
oof that drink the landlady gave Jongwoo really had him go off the deep end ig it's mushroom juice, so hallucinogens? also i realized after reading reddit comments that the shots of her cooking has been her cooking these mushrooms to get the juice
oof you should've moved out without asking for any deposit back or anything Jongwoo
nahh how does the dentist have time to stalk not only Jongwoo but also the cop?
oh i see dentist was stalking Jongwoo and the cop also saw him
rip Ji Eun really thinks Jongwoo's just going through it but there's nothing wrong with the goshiwon
ohhh the insurance of that old lady was life insurance?
oh Jongwoo's paranoia is getting ramped upppp as he realizes Ji Eun doesn't believe him at all and he can't afford to more out. Mans bought a knife and is holding it behind his hand while talking to the new guy, giving me flashbacks to the pervert in earlier eps
ooh okay I was wondering whether the new guy is fr and he's gonna get killed soon or if he's also in on the scheme and seems like he is? I wonder if he's in that volunteering photo from Ep 2
girl Jongwoo's going up to the fourth floor with his knife while pervert and twins try to clan up a body?! T.T
man I really am gonna just not look at the fucking reddit posts or tumblr gifs before I finish ep 8 and 10 because knowing that the dentist is gonna knife the twin really took out so much anticipation out of this agh
interesting reaction from the tenants about the death though. the twin being scared but not wanting to die, the landlady being like ah he reached heaven first (cult vibes increased), dentist being frazzled
Ep 7: The Horror Of The Basement (Jan 22)
miss cop I hope your teeth hurt less
ohhh is she gonna connect the dots the name of the dental clinic Spring - the orphanage Spring - the dentist chair on 4th floor
do I trust this new guy Seok Yun?
ooh are we gonna get to see the backstory of the scars from like ep 3 or 4 when he went to take a shower
the pervert getting some girl's legging things ew
oh the cop has now seen the volunteering photo at the dentist's
okay yeah as expected the dentist is from the orphanage and sees the landlady as his mother
agh idk if i trust this new kiddd like Jongwoo realizing from the rap that their situations are similar is making me wonder if the new kid orchestrated it or not
oh the gangster's still alive? girl
rip the twin doesn't seem like he's taking his brother's death well
the new kid jumping to "oh do you think they're organ traffickers?" like hmmm you're too readily accepting
oof Jongwoo gonna think Ji Eun's cheating on him with the boss which... is she?
Jongwoo's so much more callous now, both with the new kid and the twin like he's got anger issues fr
the dentist is really so alksdfj like he just overhears Jongwoo's complaining and anger, corners him against the edge of the rooftop, tell him to hate/curse/kill the people he wants to, then is like oof you might fall
Jongwoo didn't close his door properly when he went to pee agh
ah fuck the landlady showing her scary side yikes and Jongwoo rampaging on the pervert's room to find the knife rip
oh damn Jongwoo's threatening the pervert with a small pair of scissors or something okay okay
lol as expected, the twin hid the knife from the pervert's room
What are we supposed to make of the new guy calling Jongwoo to tell the pervert was staring at him in the kitchen? Was he lying since he was in the stairwell or did it really happen and he just made the call after going to the stairwell?
damn, so Jongwoo's keyboard bashing is real?? since its on the CCTV?
Oh Jongwoo my guy really beating up the 3 kids who were boutta rock his shit. his anger and the physical manifestations of it
So in the PTSD military scene, Jongwoo beat up the guy who was beating someone up and was like ah... should've killed him. interesting, he's had violent tendencies since before
ofc the dentist finds the beaten up, bloody Jongwoo on the street after the fight - i bet the dentist is happy to see Jongwoo's instability and bloodlust
Ep 8: Voices That Choke Me (Jan 22)
oh shit I thought we were gonna get the story of how dentist met and indoctrinated the smiley creepy guy and so thought maybe it was him in the dentist chair but nopeeee our dentist is operating on Jongwoo rn
"What are you?" "What do you think I really am?" "What" "A dentist who lives in a goshiwon? Or a serial killed that you'd see in crime novels?" Also, I just realized that the dentist does indeed call them all Jagi he was like I can be anything Jagi-ga wants
Oh I like the cuts of him introducing himself to the smiley man vs Jongwoo
oh damn so many things are happening. the cop was investigating the parking lot where the detective disappeared/got murdered. Jongwoo and the dentist's conversation continued but we didn't get to see it. Jongwoo's now in the police station for beating up those kids and he's not talking
I don't understand the dentist, why is he appearing at the police station and saying he's gonna pay the parents on behalf of Jongwoo to settle like girl you're suspicious and you know the cop is suspicious of Eden Studio
oh nooo Jongwoo not talking and looking like :< poor boy what's going onnnn what'd the dentist do to his mouth or traumatize him or what
ah fuck Jongwoo's so fucked he mistook his shirt for a dead cat
It's kinda interesting that when Jongwoo's hearing voices in his head and shaking, it's not just the tenants of this apartment but also his military and work and girlfriend's voices
I loveee that Jongwoo used to have so many violent imagined scenarios before that now when he does do actual violence, like breaking the keyboard earlier and now beating his coworker like I kept being like is it real for real?
Jongwoo's so spaced out, just blank behind the eyes
oof another case of Jongwoo smilingand saying "I should've killed him"
ooh the anesthesia in the string is often used in dental settings + the DNA may be from the missing detective
damn ngl the boss hyung doing more to understand Jongwoo than I would, I'd just fire and avoid him
Gonna fucking eat glass, this is one of my fave scenes
(Fave Scene) Boss hyung trying to be understanding -> Jongwoo getting angry at boss and trying to fight him after Ji Eun shows up and being full of emotion -> the dentist showing up and Jongwoo deflating and being scared and trying to move away + moving Ji Eun back -> the dentist goading the boss hyung and also speaking to Jongwoo about half the time even though he's speaking about the dentist and ofc the boss hyung ready to fight -> Jongwoo being scared that the dentist is gonna do something and so Jongwoo stepping in to take the dentist outside bc he's afraid the dentist would do something to the boss and/or Ji Eun ig
lmao the dentist revealing that he was stalking Jongwoo when he saw Ji Eun get out of the boss hyung's car and saying he knows Jongwoo wanted to kill the man then ahh psychological warfare
ask;ldfj ahh I'm so fully convinced the dentist is like in love with Jongwoo bc wtf is urging Jongwoo to kill the boss hyung and when he doesn't, following him to the office and injecting him bc ig he hurt Jongwoo? Dentist even says "Ah, I'm not usually this impulsive. Jongwoo-ssi is very special to me. He's special to me."
also the reporter's seeing all this okay interesting i wonder if he's gonna make it out alive and tell the tale or if he's gonna be spotted cuz his phone goes off or the dentist goes to take the CCTV tapes or something
oh the dentist is calling someone to clean up, i guess it's the pervert and twin?
oh you reporter fucker why are you in your car in front of the Eden Studio after following a murderer there and talking on the phone all chill with the windows down be fucking serious
hmm the alive twin is interesting. what'd he do to the officer did he let him go? he didn't mention him to the dentist and also he gave the dentist some attitude
okay I was suspicious of the new guy for quite a while but I guess he's also unaware of anything actually going on lol anyway, he's eating the human flesh so happily, I wonder what the dentist thinks of him and whether he'll take a liking to him like he recruited smiley creepy and is trying Jongwoo or if they'll just eat him. Also they love saying it's human meat and laughing about it haha
naur the new guy's exploring the fourth floor? oh yeah i remember he also called Jongwoo this ep or last ep saying he smelled blood from there oh my guy
also is the body in the bag the boss buying or reporter’s?
aw poor new guy, you had no chance of going undetected. might survive if you’re a fucked it murderer too tho
My new favourite episode ahh like just the inability to realize whether Jongwoo was beating up the supervisor for real and then the restaurant conversations were both sooo good
Ep 9: Cognitive Dissonance (Jan 23)
oh shit he mistokk Ji Eun for the dentist and litrally held up a knife to her fuck. also on reddit someone said on the preview apparently the dentist kidnaps her so...
miss girl looking for the missing car and stuff in the fucking forest where the guys go to bury bodies or whatever ah sigh will you make it out of this story alive i wonder
oh fuck Jongwoo going back to Eden Studio because he realizes something's up with the new guy agh
oh fuckkkkkkk so??? is the new guy now in on it too???? has he been converted to being a murderer so easily? or is he being held at knifepoint to convince Jongwoo
ah shit new guy crying and bleeding as he begs Jongwoo to stay rip
I hate this detective fucker's condescension sooo much, whether it be because she's a cop not a detective or bc she's a woman
I guess the cop doesn't know that Jongwoo works at this place either rip
Also the body was still at the crime scene but the CCTV was deleted, so was the "clean up" deleted the CCTV but keeping the body there bc the disappearance would be too suspicious otherwise or what. Also who was in the body being carried at the end of Ep 7 then? The reporter?
So the twin has some SD cards? camera memory? idk what that's for. But he spoke to the reporter... was that just to play around before killing him or did he give the reporter an actual scoop and is happy that the serial killer gonna get busted as revenge for his brother
damn the dentist gonna send the new guy's tooth to Jongwoo?
lol the landlady taking the woman praying in the first floor out of the building
so the murder team is also planning on leaving Eden Studio
the twin letting new guy try to escape and even singing red light green light song... this was before Squid Game came out but it's giving me flashbacks
lmfao naurr not the landlady finding the new guy and pretending to not know anything and hide him agh this game is so fucked
poor new guy just keeps getting caught between murderers like it's so horrifying all i can do is laugh
REPORTER GO WORK AT A FUCKING CAFE mans writing his story about the murders in his car like 2 feet away from where the murders happen with his window down and no awareness of his surroundings.
lmfao pls the shot panning to let us see the dentist reading out the window and nodding along is killing me
Also, I wonder if the dentist knows that the twin gave the info to the reporter
oh Jongwoo keeps looking everywhere because he thinks the dentist is gonna show up
ah fuck Jongwoo should've 100% told Ji Eun that Jae Ho was dead as soon as he found out bc that'd make her be careful of the texts and even grant him some credibility that the dentist killed him (though she could also think that Jongwoo killed him lol) but now the dentist is getting to her
noo this army guy also going to Eden Studio? like girl no have him stay and call for backup so that he doesn't die too
Ep 10: Gas-lighting (Jan 23)
I should be studying right now and give myself the last ep as a reward afterwards but uhhh I don't wanna wait, I need to know the ending now
Another hour before this is over hmm I wonder how this'll end. I guess from that one comment on MDL, one of them kills the other (Jongwoo to Mun jo bc it's supposed to be happy ending) but also there are theories about the ending on reddit, so I guess it'll be ambiguous. I'm just hoping that it's not all in Jongwoo's head though, I feel like this would be rated lower if it was and there wouldn't be theories and I would be spoiled about it by now
the title is gas-lightning I wonder if it'll just be about everyone convincing Jongwoo that he's going crazy or... a pun? will there be a fire? The orphanage and 4th floor both burned down and we saw the twin with a gas bottle thing
pls the way the dentist always appears so humorously is gonna kill me like the other two pointing and him and even saying 'ja jan!' as he slides into frame
damn the dentist is beating the shit outta Jongwoo
ooh, are they gonna frame Jongwoo for the murders?
After reveal: Okay I thought that the dentist was gonna get Jongwoo to kill his friend or something and also the smile made me question if he was gonna somehow frame Jongwoo with the tooth bracelet but then since we didn't see him for a longass time, I'd briefly wonder about what he was doing but not dwell on it
okay at least the cop picked up the phone before getting knocked out so that the other cop heard the commotion
lol the landlady really got pissed off about the pervert first fucking with the thug and now the cop when they're in her jail cell
Tumblr media
This is the funniest screenshot of all time: all those knives and the one she will choose is blurred
damn we really had Mun jo kill the landlady
and the surviving twin is no more
what's Munjo's end goal here exactly
oh Munjo still wants Jongwoo to join him? Or is he just lying
I can't see their fight properly in the dark
"the human instinct to gnaw on the weak and enjoy as the weak suffer" - k ig that's Munjo's motivation or lack thereof
After reveal: so that's what the dentist meant when he said "you enjoyed seeing the people from the studio die" bc I was like the victims?? but no Jongwoo killed the murderers
"Of course, jagi you are the best masterpiece I've ever created" because Jongwoo promises him a most painful death just before he kills him. Though what does he mean by now jagi and I will be together forever... girl is he gonna haunt him or will they run away together
oh actually these detectives needa die I'm not satisfied until this man apologizes to the cop and she stomps on their heads
oh framing?????? or what like what's going on why is the gangster saying it's Jongwoo. oh i see nevermind he's saying the others tried to murder him
hmm what are they investigating right now, why is the detective saying that the landlady killing the pervert is odd? Also they keep kinda slightly bringing up the vacation rental family being murdered probably by the Eden Studio murder gang but why now... did we even hear about it before
ohhh so is it like what we saw with Mun jo killing the lady and the lady killing the pervert not true? An amateur like Jong Woo did it?
brooo okay yknow I thought the thing with the dentist calling the twin stupid was so Jongwoo-lite, turns out it was Jongwoo
hmmm okay so idk I guesssss Jongwoo did kill the dentist, him and the cop seeing him around is just hallucinations and paranoia (including when he was alive and well and touching his adam's apple after all the murders bc Ji Eun saw that there was nobody else there), but Jongwoo now knows what it's like to kill someone and the "honey and i will be together forever" comment is meant to signify that Jongwoo is the dentist's masterpiece and the glitch at the end
Also, what happened to Jongwoo's friend - just an unmentioned casualty?
Here's why I think Moonjo is dead:
I think Jongwoo did kill Moonjo and afterwards came back to his room and had hallucinations with repeating sentences from their last conversation. The girlfriend saw nobody there and Jongwoo has previously had hallucinations in the mirror about the boss hyung's death like "It wasn't me!" Additionally, the scene was just his last words from the death scene + Adam's apple grab as seen before, so it was like Jongwoo's knowledge of what Moonjo would say or do, not really Moonjo
Everybody accepts that Moonjo is dead, so I'll assume they found the body tbh
I'll assume Jongwoo was hallucinating him after they got out of the building and I'll assume the cop was as well because she saw him in a crowded elevator and I feel like he would've been recognized since they family's been in the news now
There is a sense of "somebody's watching" the cop as she gets in the car at the end but to me, it's once again a manifestation of the cop's paranoia because we also get to see as if someone's watching from the backseat of her car and she turns back to find nobody there.
It's just more satisfying and scarier to me to assume that Moonjo's dead but he lives on in Jongwoo's personality and also Jongwoo and the cop's paranoia - he's haunting them and that's how Moonjo and Jongwoo will be together forever. He's a terror that is gone now but he's irrevocably tainted others, and made Jongwoo his masterpiece and final work of creation.
Overall Thoughts:
I'm not as blown away or enraptured by the ending as everybody else seems to be but I thought it was good and expected. The whole descent of Jongwoo was interesting to see, as well as how his environment and people around him made him who he is and what he had in him from previous experiences and by nature.
The acting and cinematography/atmosphere were good. I liked the hallucinations/dreams (I loved it when I couldn't tell whether he really was breaking the keyboard until the CCTV showed it or whether he was beating up the supervisor until the others came in bc he had violent imagined scenarios so often) and I'm glad it was just 10 eps.
I do like to think Moonjo's obsession was tinted with gayness but the cursory glance at tiktok/twitter shipper posts isn't giving me what I want - it's too ironically cutesy but I like that Moonjo is darkly obsessed and Jongwoo hates it so bad. I've been obsessed with going through people's archives for the strangers from hell tag and reblogging them though lol
I like that he's dead but still alive through Jongwoo; that even if he was killed, he still won.
Rating: 7.5/10
Tiktoks:
Moonjo couldn't have done it w/o me
Immortal He, Return to me - mostly for the comments who get that he's physically dead but lives on through Jongwoo
Moonjo/Jongwoo except it's accurate dynamics where Moonjo is all up in his space and Jongwoo wants to escape
Moonjo vs Jongwoo like cannibal/doesn't like human meat, encourages him to kill people/kills people, etc (jwdscore)

My D&D Campaigns
Since I'll likely most definitely be posting about my D&D campaigns and characters a fair bit, I figured I'd throw a post together about them so that anyone who decides this dumpster fire of a blog is worth reading has a clue what I'm going on (and on) about.
So here we go! Fair warning, some spoilers ahead for two official modules.
Curse of Strahd / Nimalia Nimalia, a 200+ Wood Elf Druid (Circle of Stars). Her clan has been at odds with the town of Daggerford forever, so she has to suck it up and make nice when a bunch of human and elvish kids go missing. She meets the other PCs at the temple, they agree to help her investigate a lead, and it's been all downhill from there.

Since coming to Barovia, Nim has been nearly killed several times (one which earned her the attention of a Dark Power known as the Evening Glory), found out another PC, Theodora, is her great-great-granddaughter, boned Rahadin several times, and been turned into a werewolf. I also recently found out that Ismark is the reincarnation of her human husband that she abandoned forever ago. He and their daughter tried to find her and wound up trapped in Barovia. Who knows if Nim will ever figure this out though because she gave up the memory of him in order to reconsecrate one of the fanes. So that's absolutely heart-breaking.
We started in December of 2021 and are closing in on the finale (maybe. we do a lot of roleplaying - on more than one occasion we spent an entire session in one room)!
Tumblr media
(art by NoGlory on YCH.commishes)
Descent Into Avernus / Teya > Kallan > Tyshara > Kallan again Technically I had three characters throughout this campaign, but two of them were the same (sort of), and those are the two I'm going to gush about most. My Divination Wizard, Tyshara, might get an honorable mention here and there, but this was not the campaign for her. We tried, girlie.
I started the campaign with Teya Amell, an early twenties Aasimar Paladin of Ilmater. Her family is part of the nobility of Baldur's Gate, and her father spent her whole life leveraging the fact that she's angelic to Get Places. She was a high-ranking member of the city's guard (because of her family name, not actual ability). She died during a fight in the secret sewer shrine? to the Dead Three, and that's how Kallan was brought into the game. Kallan's soul was forced into Teya's body by Bane. Kallan has no memories of a life before joining Teya and Feels Bad about stealing her body.
Tumblr media
(art by anotherliz.art on IG)
She died outside the gates of the High Hall in Hellturel (stabbed by her Not Boyfriend, another PC, that had been charmed by a scary red lady), which is how Tyshara got thrown into the mix, but before that she had a lot of conflicted feelings about things. She even went to Teya's funeral! Towards the end of the campaign she was brought back by Krull, a tortle cleric of Tiamat, and allowed to finish the quest with the party under the agreement that she would then serve Tiamat for the rest of her life. Joke's on him though because Bane overrules Tiamat and he's got dibs on her soul. We just finished this campaign, so I'll probably have a whole big write up about it at some point.
We actually just finished this campaign after a little over two years, but I still fully plan on talking about it.
Unnamed Homebrew Campaign / Primrose My Monday night group is abandoning official modules and heading into our DM's homebrew world! I'm waiting until our DM gives us the player primer he's working on to figure out more of the details, BUT my character is a Primrose (real name currently Karisha Peveki but may change depending on if it's lore-friendly) a late 20's Tiefling Bard who's incredibly shy and anxious. She is an accomplished poet with a reverse pseudonym - she first published under her real name, wanting to prove herself to her family, but when she Made It she realized she absolutely does not want the attention (mostly), so she adopted the name Primrose. She also likes to dive into her cups.
We'll be starting this campaign in early November!
I don't have any art of her yet, but here's her HF mini!

Art Summary and Art vs Artist 2022
2022 Art Ramblings and Other Shenanigans:
A.) I am not speed
Whenever artists wanna try something new to improve their art, we tend to make big drastic changes right away. This can be effective for others but not for everyone. As you can see, my art style is still the same as last year with minimal tweaks.
I decided that if I'm gonna make improvements, I'm gonna do it gradually instead of incorporating them all at once. This can be a big help in maintaining consistency. If the changes were small, we can easily remember and apply them on our next artwork.
“So is it effective? Did your art improve?”
It’s barely noticeable but yes it did. I like the direction in which my art progress is currently going. I am at the point where I actually like my finished work more than my sketch. You know that meme where artists like their sketch more than their finished work bec it looks better? I don’t feel like that anymore and that surely tells something haha.
B.) I failed successfully
Last year, I made a pseudo new years' resolution where I said "I hope I can draw my ships, anime and original stuff" since I mostly did Genshin. Well, I successfully drew my ships, anime and original stuff this year HOWEVER I made less videos lol.
I tried doing 1-2 artworks in between videos but sometimes the artwork took me longer to finish so I wasn't able to make video content afterwards. Another thing was the fact that I sorta dedicated some months tryna help save our country but in the end we failed miserably... Anyways! Let's not talk about that here.
Even though I made less videos, I managed to make 2 impactful videos which contributed a lot to my channel's growth this year. One of them is now my most viewed video. 
C.) I wanna delete everything
Checking other artists' IG accounts makes me want to turn my account into an art only account. But then again I know I'll be having the urge to shitpost and post irl stuff every now and then so as much as I wanted to be one of those mysterious artists who only post/talk about their art, I can't lmao. 
I feel like there's a lot of pressure on the artists who only post art related stuff bec people will always be expecting you to post art or even if they don't, you yourself might think they expect you to. And this kinda contributes to being burnt out somehow. 
Whenever I am on the verge of deleting everything (except art) I remind myself that it's fine even if I ain't one of those cool artists accounts. I am human and I do other human activities too besides drawing. It's like taking a breather I guess. 
"Make 2 accounts, one art and one personal"
Not everyone has the capacity to manage 2 accounts in one platform when you’re already managing other accounts on other platforms. Even if you did, most people who followed you for your art won't give a fuck about your personal one which kinda defeats the purpose haha. 
I know this is not applicable to all artists, especially the professionals/veterans. But for hobbyists like me, maybe you should consider this. I am not forcing you to post personal stuff bec I know not everyone likes that. I'm just saying that it's important to emphasize every once in a while to your audience that you are human too and not just an art producing machine. 
D.) I miss time traveling
Long time ago, during my Deviantart days, I used to type a bunch of shit in the description box of my artworks. Then came the Tumblr era where I continued to blog my heart out. When these platforms "died" and Twitter and IG migration happened, I slowly stopped doing this without me noticing it. 
I still say things on Twitter but since there's a limit and making threads is a pain in the ass, I ain't as expressive as before. And these platforms (Twitter and IG) made me adapt to its "culture" of short tweets/captions or sometimes nothing at all, just pictures. Which was great! I mean not everyone needs to know your entire business on the interweb right lol. 
But as time passed by, I began to realize that I love backreading (I dunno if this is the right term) whatever shit I used to talk about in the past. It's actually amusing no matter how cringe, happy or lonely it was. However, since transferring to Twt and IG, I can no longer go back to a certain period in my life to reminisce what the hell I was thinking, doing and feeling that time because I got nothing to backread and that made me kinda sad?
Even though I am still bad with words, I am trying my best to resurrect my old self here in IG (just less cringe and more careful this time). Don’t worry I am not going to make long posts everyday lmao.
"Nobody's gonna read all that"
True. HOWEVER my future self would and I think that's more important. It's the same as writing in your diary, you write for yourself first and foremost.
“Why don’t you just go back to Tumblr to blog”
My time on Tumblr has passed. Whatever good or bad memories I have there, I just wanna keep them as they are and no longer add some haha. I still love the platform and post my artworks there tho.
Conclusion:
Art progress and channel growth did great this year. Tho I fell short in terms of quantity of my video content, the quality compensated. I am not gonna make any pseudo new year’s resolutions this year. All I can say is I have a lot of ideas and I hope I can execute them.
Before I end this, I just wanna say hi to my future self. I know you’re reading this again for the nth time. Maybe you’re feeling sentimental or just bored as usual haha. Nevertheless I hope you’re doing well.
Happy New Year everyone! Stay safe and see you on my next video~
Jacq out.
P.S. Fuck AI generated images.

Babe you gotta tell me more about this racist blog and what happened bc I follow them and I didn’t see this (not saying it didn’t happen, I just can’t find it to see for myself) so I gotta know how bad it is
I really love their blog and I’m sad that they’re a piece of shit 😭
(Also if you don’t want this public just let me know and I’ll dm you so it stays private)
Summary of events is at the end, but here’s what happened. Things got pretty heated between us towards the end, but that’s just how it goes ig.
They now predictably have me blocked, so I can’t access the DMs or the post about this first incident. As for what happened on Tumblr, a while back, they made a greyscale gifset with Gwen in it, and someone (iirc this someone was indeed a poc, though I don’t remember who exactly) told them that it was whitewashed, and their response was more or less just “but I did high contrast, this is impossible to do, that has to be good enough!” I decided to DM them to say “Hey, here’s how you can do greyscale gifs without whitewashing, you should go back and fix those gifs” but was ultimately ignored to my knowledge. Other people who I’ve talked to about whitewashing in their works have actually gone back and changed them, so Idk what their deal was. They just. Didn’t wanna. I thought maybe they just didn’t see it or something but… nope.
Now, as for the other incident(s), which took place off of Tumblr… A year later or so, idk how much time passed, Queen Elizabeth II dies. You may have noticed my pinned post is about people sympathizing with colonizers instead of their victims. Well, that is actually pinned because of the situation this all stemmed from.
If you’re a merthur shipper, then I doubt you’re in the Non Merthur Server, the Discord where this all took place. You probably wouldn’t find anything unsubtle on their Tumblr that indicates how they actually are, but what they chose to say there completely obliterated any hope I had for them. I have a much longer post in my drafts about what happened, but it began because I said that we shouldn’t make excuses for a colonizer. Someone in the chat was doing this (I’ll discuss that more in another post), so me and another member (who left due to the way the situation was handled by the mods) immediately corrected this person on the queen’s various crimes/atrocities. This conversation somehow turned to how I stated (some days prior to the queen’s death) that I avoid reblogging off of a certain person because they have posted racist content in the past. That’s where Neednoggle comes in.
Neednoggle said that this was “controlling” behavior because I was “telling people who they can or can’t interact with.” Now, again, I was simply putting out a warning that the individual I mentioned had put out racist content before. I certainly expect people to take that into consideration once they know. But I didn’t expect anyone, especially someone who preaches about racism towards one of their favorite characters, to die on the hill of “umm but I have the first amendment RIGHT to reblog off of racists!” There’s a reason we don’t reblog off of homophobes, misogynists, TERFs, abusers, etc.. If you draw the line at racists… that’s a double standard, and frankly, it’s self-absorbed.
They then proceeded to bring up a different person who I avoid for different reasons as an example for why my very detailed explanation on the other user’s racism was unreliable. This example was an extremely bad faith interpretation. Basically, they said that I called someone transphobic for… being in favor of the fictional ban on magic. In truth, I called this person transphobic for the transphobia that was in their fics (namely jokes about how men can’t get pregnant/that being able to get pregnant is what determines man from woman). Because that fic author happens to also be anti-magic, neednoggle attributed my discomfort with these jokes to the magic thing. It was really odd ngl, since I have pretty openly stated that, while you can make comparisons between having magic and being queer, it is ultimately a metaphor for religious persecution. (It’s… The Old Religion.)
A friend of mine, a brown person from the global south who I will keep anonymous unless they permit otherwise, called out the sympathy that people were projecting onto the queen. However, this was not handled well in the chat, especially not by the mods who you’d expect better from. I don’t think that this friend’s perspective was really taken into consideration at the end of the day, it was like they were talking to a brick wall. I ended up making a strong statement that people don’t get to just opt out of learning anti-racism, and that was taken as offensive by… everyone.
Despite reading these messages from my friend (who is, again, a brown person from the global south) and myself, neednoggle’s concern was more about how I was censoring(?) them by stating that some people in the fandom are racist and that I avoid spreading their posts for this reason. They ditched the conversation and a day later I found them talking about how it sucks so much for them, a white person, that there’s not a lot of fanfiction about Elyan. Maybe that wouldn’t happen if you didn’t tolerate racism, thus alienating fans of color while coddling racists? And maybe, just maybe, you should care about racism outside of its impact on your own personal entertainment? Hence my statement that enjoying a character of color does not make one anti-racist. Anyone’s capable of racism, and you can’t use a character as a shield.
Anyways, I ended the conversation with: “either you have zero tolerance for racism or you do tolerate it” and was ignored, much like I was ignored with the whitewashing thing. Avoidance must be the bread and butter of people like this.
In addition, I believe they’re also guilty of this trope I see a lot where Merlin and Morgana or whatever white characters have to teach Gwen and Lancelot or whatever brown & black characters how to read/write, despite nothing in the canon suggesting that they couldn’t already. That said, I could be thinking of someone else’s fic, idk. I seriously see this a lot and I have no idea when it got so prevalent, but when put alongside everything else, it becomes pretty suspicious. I’m not entirely confident on this one so take it with a grain of salt, but I’m pretty sure I’ve read a fic of theirs like this, and it’s just… Gwen and Lancelot were already literate in the canon, so I find it weird that it’s usually those two in particular who get singled out, especially since 1) Merlin comes from a very similar background, 2) Lancelot was exchanging letters with him for as long as two years, and 3) Gwen helped run a whole smithy.
So, in summation (because this is rlly fuckin’ long) neednoggle chose to die on the hill of “You can’t make me NOT reblog off of racist people! Also I should just be allowed to ignore racism if it makes me as a white person uncomfortable!” and then tried to say that my perception of who is/isn’t racist is not reliable by undermining and misattributing my discomfort with someone’s transphobic jokes (just to be absolutely clear, I very much stated when it happened that it was the person’s transphobia that made them transphobic; however, defending Uther’s ban on magic—even if it’s only a fictional genocide—is pretty disturbing, just like when someone defends a fictional character’s abuse, bigotry, etc. How do you apply those morals across the board?). They and everyone involved in that conversation either ignored or missed the point of what my friend, someone who has been directly affected by colonization and racism, had to say about all of it. And of course, there’s the whitewashing thing, which I only just randomly remembered today ?!? And, possibly, the trope thing. Basically I tried to #fix them but they’ve gotta be willing to fix themself, ya know?
Personally, although I do tend to discuss these issues with people before coming to any conclusions, I think that blocking or avoiding a handful of people is worth not potentially spreading their bigoted beliefs, and I don’t really wanna be in kahoots with people like that anyways, so I guess it’s difficult for me to understand why they were defending tooth and nail their right to hypothetically reblog off of hypothetical racists. It sucks when it turns out someone you liked is doing this stuff, but we’ve gotta have some integrity, even if it’s not easy. Neednoggle doesn’t seem to have that integrity.
I have screenshots and the like too but I’m saving them for the Actual Post about all this so I don’t have to dig through them an extra time. It’s a lot

it makes me so glad u like my saeru post bc honestly i get so scared sharing my kagepro opinions in this cold world but like yeah it's makes zero sense whenever i see people try to view saeru the same way they view the other characters bc that's seriously not the point😭. saeru is like sad from an objective standpoint but in kagepro's narrative alone he's what is holding the characters back from developing and gaining happiness. like the only thing abt him is that he's a fabricated shallow version of what being human is like and even then hes only the horrible parts bc he was created from despair. he's meant to be azami's, and by extent all of the mkdn and co's trauma holding them back. if someone tries to find any understanding in his actions then it defeats the whole purpose of his character. a true saeru fan wouldnt try to find empathy in his character but that sounds a bit crazy uhm. anyway sorry for the long ask just kagepro's narrative is so special to me so it makes me a bit insane. *closes the door to my cage and locks it*
1. i totally get you. ive been into kagepro for almost 10 years, ive grown up with it but only started sharing my content when i made this blog (like 5 years ago) and while ive always been loud abt my opinions i think im only NOW like REAAAAAALLY letting loose. i know what it's like to be nervous abt sharing ur opinions lol but u should keep doing it even if u think no one is listening bc someone IS listening and even if someone isnt WHATEVER i love living in delusion talking to myself that's what i do best
2. EXACTLY EXACTLY IT IS SO SO REFRESHING TO SEE SOMEONE GET IT SO PERFECTLY AND PUT IT INTO WORDS SO PERFECTLY TOO like i barely have anything to add because u just say it so perfectly. saeru IS a tragic character in the way it is created from despair like u said but the fact is that since it cannot feel anything like love u can never truly feel bad for it when it dies... it never wanted to help kenjirou, or save hiyori, or give haruka his life back. its purpose through and through is to keep killing everyone precisely because it brings tragedy. like sure it wants to live forever etcetcetc but what it wants to do is bring misery bc that's what it is
i think ppl are generally bad with characters like these because they try to give everyone a humanity?? like with alien characters for example. like it's such a pet peeve to me that people always wanna apply human principles and feelings to characters that are not... human. and the whole point is that they don't understand it and have to learn it or they just understand it differently or like in this case are straight up incapable of it. like this is so interesting. it is so interesting to have a character u will NEVER truly understand fully precisely because of your existence as a human vs their fictional non human existence. THAT'S the kind of thing that's so fun and interesting abt fiction and writing stories and characters, i think. srry that's kind of an unrelated rant that could apply to dozens of characters but here specifically it's like... yeah. there is definitely something interesting in humanizing saeru and making it be one of these characters who learn what love is and etc but that comes at the expense of kagepro's message and the question is why do u even wanna do that so bad. saeru is not THAT lovable anyway fuck that guy fr
because in my professional kagepro experience and here i am about to get a little bitter, 90% of the time it comes from being horny over omg posessed sexy anime boy bc ive never seen ANYONE objectifying clearing when its in kenjirou's body‼️‼️‼️ personally, that's also why im so UGH EYE ROLL at ppl sympathizing saeru but that's more personal lmao. *shakes fist* like mamoru miyano was 1000% chosen as haruka's va thinking primarily of saeru, secondarily of konoha, and haruka as the oh well he's here too ig. i am so sure. i am so DAMN SURE. u got sexy anime voice guy???? are you SERIOUS??? AND THE FACT HE VOICES SAERU EVEN WHEN NOT POSESSING KONOHA AND SOUNDS...LIKE THAT... MAKES IT MORE THAN CLEAR. THEY WANTED PEOPLE TO OBJECTIFY SAERU SO BAD. AND THE WORST IS THAT IT WORKED AND I WILL ALWAYS HATE IT FOR IT.
...........anyway. yes. i love long asks ty for writing to me and reading my tags and also for writing that awesome post (bow bow bow bow)🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Fuck my body. I want a different one. Idec what it looks like, but I hate this sack of meat that barely gets pushed into functioning on a good day.
(This was in my drafts from August? Idk why I didn’t post it but here ig)
I had a college event today that was mandatory for freshman, and I went despite my nonexistent ability to function. I felt like I was dying the whole time, and the scary fucking thing is that idk if I could have actually died or not. My next cardiology appointment isn't until Friday and idk what's safe to do and what's not. Keeping up with the group had my heartrate hitting 188bpm, and it didn't go below 115 a single time during the whole thing.
The "meet your success coordinator" section was right after it hit 188 and I was so nauseous and close to passing out that I don't even remember anything beyond being asked my name and giving it. The next thing I remember after that was me almost falling getting out of my seat and losing the teacher in the halls when I went looking. I was supposed to work out my plan with her for the coming semester today.
Everything after that is kinda a blur. I know I spent it with my best friend and that I lost my phone at some point, but I don't even know when I lost it. I didn't make it to the class picture because I had to stop before I puked and my vision was so blurry and spotty that I couldn't see the ground in front of me. I sent him ahead of me and I don't remember anything again until he was handing me my phone and sitting with me. Then I called my ride to pick me up instead of even attempting to walk back to the parking garage across campus. I laid down once I could move again and managed to get my hr down to 123 before my ride showed up, and the trip home was slightly more coherent.
I threw up once we parked at home, and idfk what came up. I can't remember if I even ate anything other than breakfast and the smarties I was basically forced to eat on the trip home. I know I didn't eat dinner because I remember being nauseous and when my friend went through line for me anyway my hands were shaking too much to hold the fork. I had a few sips of water at some point that made me gag, and I think he might've gotten a few bites of a cupcake into me? That was just after we sat down though and I wasn't thinking clearly enough to remember it.
I got almost shoved into the shower after I got sick, and I passed out on the couch with everything feeling like hell and a migraine that was keeping me from focusing on anything else. I was put for almost four hours, and while I'm feeling a lot better, there's a strong chance that's because my heartrate finally got back down below 100 while I slept and I just finished a sandwich and took some meds. My whole body is still shaking, I still have a mild headache, and everything is still sore, but I'm coherent and not about to collapse. I'm also still jumping between 95-110bpm, and I really hope that that gets back into the 80s range by tommorow, otherwise I'm in for a miserable rest of the week.
Also, fuck anyone who ignored me stumbling and shaking. My friend said I looked like I was dying the entire time and only one person even gave me a second glance, and apparently it was someone he asked about my phone that I almost collapsed in front of. He said he also had to pull me out of the way of others like three times because I couldn't think fast enough to move and they were walking directly toward me without giving enough space to not hit me, let alone my crutch that was keeping me upright.
I doubt he's ever going to see this because he doesn't have tumblr and doesn't even know this blog exists, but like, I'm so fucking sorry. Neither of us wanted to be there and you spent the whole thing babysitting me which probably made it even more miserable for you. Ily, and you're my best friend. Thank you for keeping me alive today.

g*psy shows up on alex’s livestream the first time in may 2021 and he freezes faster than my 10 year old laptop on a hot day.
she shows up again a week later and my mom has a fall that made her feet swell up.
i check out her ig to see what she’s like and a week later, i suffer from heat exhaustion.
i check her out again some time later, and a week later, i have a panic attack.
she’s in the florida man video and i get locked out of my redbubble account.
she comes up in one of alex’s posts last june and a month later, ig screws me and everyone else over by trying to emulate tiktok and i have another anxiety episode.
she films the live broadcast of moods and modes, plus, i fall down the proverbial rabbit hole and find her blog as well as all the old planetary coalition posts, and i get a stomach bug.
she joins alex in seeing lewis black and i get the bug again. plus, he starts acting very strangely (like… frantic, and a lot more sweary (?) than usual).
i start having these sneaking suspicions about her because everything about her gives me the weirdest feeling (re: “couples who are happy together will be seen together”, plus, the respect should be congruent inside and out: if you claim to respect them while in private but out in the open, you talk about them as if they’re your coworker, it makes it so hard for me to believe this; re: “you put it where the world can see, you make it my business”), and a couple of weeks later, jeff beck dies and it hits alex like a freight train.
alex starts paying closer attention to me, especially after i start seasons grey, and outright starts making fun of his relationship with her at one point… and she starts appearing more. 
she starts appearing more and we get a shitload of snow and rain out here: my mom and i get snowed in, not once, not twice, but three fucking times. my stepbrother and his girlfriend also leave unannounced. 
i start making serious headway on seasons grey and she gets on a post about a rescue cat, saying how he “failed to care for the other fosters” making it sound like he’s the bad guy for having a job and working his tuckus off every day as if she’s an overworked housewife (pffff, not even; do i believe men should throw their weight around? absolutely. but saying he “failed” is really unfair to him, especially when you have a bunch of irons in the fire yourself, hypocritical cunt)
a week later, his mom falls ill and he’s a.w.o.l. from social media for the most part (understandable), but then he’s absent for a whole week save for a couple of posts on stories (ain’t no social media break, i can tell you that now), and then he starts acting even weirder than he did around christmas—to the point of actually looking differently.
i start pointing the aforementioned out and i learn that my mom and i could lose our house.
i see her in the comments on his photography account and my mom learns she won’t have a new assignment at her job at least until the 31st, causing us to make use of over a thousand bucks for the foreseeable few weeks so we don’t starve or sit in the dark.
i go back to him saying he’s returned to testament and see that he chose her over me when i left my light on for him after beck died because i knew he was wrecked (and he acknowledged it, too), and… it’s an unspoken reason as to why i had my breakdown on the solstice and i signed off from instagram for a week—signed off all the way, too, removed it from my tablet and didn’t go to the browser version. i didn’t poke my head in, nothing. a genuine mental health break. i never said anything about this because i simply thought this was implied.
i see her in a post from him AGAIN after i returned to instagram and we get a bird, two lizards, and now a bat in the house (worse, i don’t know where it is 😳 i just saw it flying around in ceiling when i went to bed last night). plus, a short but awful heat wave! 
oh, and i see that alex is a.w.o.l. again (could just be recording stuff for the trio and testament, but i know he would at least make note of it, though). and the thing to counterpoint that? i found out that my checking account went kaput because i hadn’t used it in so long and i had to go and claim the money that was in there. took me most of the day yesterday, and it’s why i hadn’t updated any fics, either.
i am legitimately starting to think this woman is a bad omen.

Choco Milk Shake Live Blogging
I’ve started watching this on my ipad so i wasn’t gonna liveblog but it’s cute so far halfway into ep 1 and thought why not. Also gonna try to watch most of this with Korean subs but who knows, I tend to give up quickly with that rip
Ep 1 (Jan 26)
when Choco and Milk stared at Jongwoo like that in the alley as he walked by, I was getting Strangers From Hell flashbacks lmfao also the main character’s name here is also 정우 like uhh (though I checked and they call his name Jungwoo here)
loll Jongwoo being unable to process this being Choco and Milk but then being like “아이씨 초코 맞는거 같애” as soon as Choco puts his head on his palm is so cute
I saw some people being like hmmm a bit weird that Choco sees Jongwoo as a love interest rather than a parent but they do use banmal with him and just call him 정우야 no hyung or appa or anything so i don’t find it weird ig like they saw each other as just friends before and now that they’re human and grown, there’s romantic interest
Choco is surely a dog and Milk is surely a cat, good casting and script when it comes to that aspect
Ep 2 (Jan 26)
Jongwoo’s actor slightly reminds me of Cha Eunwoo idk like with the hair and glasses from certain angles makes him look am that way or is it also the smile?
yesterday i reviewed that 사고 is accident so it’s good that it showed up here
pleasseeee Jongwoo’s shocked reaction after Choco kisses the whipped cream off his face. mans is mad yet reeling
Milk’s aversion to the friend is cute. he’s the love interest right?
Ep 3 (Jan 26)
oof sad backstory but at least we got the comfort of hurt/comfort as well
ooh there are Bengali subs in this too
Ep 4 (Jan 27)
aw cute Jongwoo’s sick so Milk’s working on his behalf at the cafe (can you even do that lol) and Choco’s taking care of the house
oh the uncle is fr Jongwoo’s uncle; he’s Jongwoo’s mom’s younger brother. I wonder what’s the age difference between him and his sister and Jongwoo. also has she passed away?
uhhh the uncle feeding Milk so cute
aw Jongwoo dreaming of his mom T.T
oh omurice = omlette rice
what the fuckkkk i wasn’t prepared to see Jongwoo cry over food right now
loll the sound when Choco blinks and smiles after Jongwoo dies seeing the mess he made when cooking
Ep 5 (Jan 27)
Jongwoo going on a blind date but it’s so awkward i’m dying
wtf not the man being too pushy to Jongwoo (or possibly was just tryna give him bread) and so Choco nearly breaking his hand lol
pls Milk mouthing “why’d you come together?” and Choco being like “I got caught” is so cute, I love their shenanigans
Choco and Milk talking about liking being a human and how they’ll disappear T.T Oh if they try to stay, they won’t ever be able to see him again?
Ep 6 (Jan 27)
Jongwoo overhead their talks about leaving D:
wound tending
ahh Choco saying I’m bigger now so I should be cuter
why is this show just so cute wtff
who cameeee show me who showed up or i throw up
an ex of Jongwoo?
Ep 7 (Jan 28)
Aw Choco being jealous of Jongwoo’s ex
ksldfjla;ksdfj they’re kissing? ah the ep ended lmfao so should i guess they get interrupted
drunk Milk aww and addressing the uncle as ya and giggling when the uncle goes ya?! and pls we’re gonna get the ‘waking up shirtless the next morning and being like did we fuck?!’
okay I’ve gotta start watching at 1.25x and leave my hopes for learning Korean cuz I wanna finish this today
Ep 8 (Jan 28)
that was the teeniest kiss ever
lol Choco and Jongwoo just waiting for Milk as he tries to sneak back in the morning after
oi Milk’s angry little kiss ahh 
kasfd pls Milk’s sheer panic and the violence after he awoke
Milk saying they can call him a dog if he drinks again and Jongwoo telling him to say woof! when they drink again
bitch what is this showwww why is it so touching like Jongwoo’s ex talking about how Jongwoo used to be always ready to leave but now he looks happy and telling him to hold on to Choco and Jongwoo being like :< but he’s leaving soon
bruv why did ex ask if Jongwoo’d give him another chance someday and why’d Jongwoo say yes akljdf if i was watching this live i’d be so terrified of the pets disappearing and Jongwoo ending up with ex instead
Ep 9 (Jan 28)
plssss Milk’s jealousy
oh nooo they’re kinda falling apart
okay at least they’re making up a bit again
Ep 10 (Jan 29)
If I watched this on Dec 6 as it aired and had to wait like 2 weeks for the next ep, I would’ve become a villain and taken some drastic measures
this fucking flashback segment how could you do this to me 
Ep 11 (Jan 29)
he’s fucking hallucinating Milk and Choco I’m gonna break some glass
2 years later
ah okay it’ll be easier for them to come back each time and it’ll be for longer
oh lesbianism <3 ?
Overall Thoughts:
Very cute and also had a fair bit of emotional moments, I really liked it! I’m glad Strongberry got to do this sort of project and that they keep getting support. Also got a fair amount of Korean practice out of it.
However, it did take me 4 days to watch this though bc I kept watching only one or two of the short eps every day bc it didn’t have that pull of ‘I must keep watching’ or “I wonder what’s happening next?” So it’s cute and well made the the actors for Choco and Milk did so well haha but I’m not super invested in the characters and probably won’t think about them much.
Rating: 6.5/10 6/10  [Jan 25, 2024 Update: Decreased by 0.5 stars when rerating my top shows: 6.5 -> 6]
Tiktoks: 
ep 4 Milk and Uncle

I Lie to Myself | Karl Heisenberg HCs
the reader is so glad they became Heisenberg’s assistant, but the light inside of them is dying.  anyway, that’s enough of their boring sexy life, let’s talk about you- oh.
Taglist: @prismarts @blixeon @mxcheese​
A/n: for some reason this looks better on my blog?????  idk, just thought i’d let you know
Tumblr media
Headcanons 
Ever since you crawled into Heisenberg’s life, you’d been a little bit of a thorn in his side
A cute one!
But a thorn nonetheless
See, the thing is, you confused him
You were a lil enigma 
Because you were just
So
Idk, unaffected?  By everything around you?
Like
You had to abandon the life you knew before and ended up in the village
Lady D and her kids had almost eaten you which left you a little scarred up, both physically and mentally
Then you’d almost been murdered by both soldats and lycans 
Then you’d had a fucking tea party with Donna and Angie, and you watched a couple of rom coms with Moreau, neither of those are bad, they’re just weird
And now you worked as an assistant for scary magneto in his giant factory where he turned corpses into soldiers to fight his not-mom because she sucked
and you just
Walked it off
You were cool with it
You were vibing
And he didn’t get it
You just
Wandered around the factory 
Fixing things and cleaning things like this was a normal job
And like, there’s a level where he could ignore it
Like
If you were kinda mopey about it
Or if you were a little jumpy
Or if you were pissed, like
That would make sense
BUT NOPE
YOU FUCKIN TURN ON THE RADIO 
WHICH WORKS BECAUSE YOU WILLED IT TO 
(there’s no other explanation)
AND YOU JUST DANCE AROUND WHILE CLEANING 
Heisenberg is a busy dude, but you are enough to distract him
(it’s bc when you wormed your way into his life, you also wormed your way into his heart)
OH, YEAH
ALSO
what’s even weirder
To Heisenberg, specifically 
Is that you make him go to bed at a normal time???
And bring him coffee???
make sure he eats regularly??
Listen to him when he rambles on about his plans and/or that bitch Miranda???
Help him with his plans??
A s k about his plans????????
you generally engage in conversation with him
Basically, you were a decent, positive person who adapted quickly to a new situation and it confused the shit out of poor Karl
Like
This man probably made a conspiracy board about you, red yarn and everything
I don’t know where he put it, but it existed
Anyway
One day
He’s watching you fuckin
Clean up part of the factory after one of the soldats got loose and caused problems
And you notice this time
And you’re like
“What’s up, boss?  Need something?”
And he just
Fuckin
“How th’ fuck are you so happy?”
Cue your confusion 
Ig it’s contagious 
Anyway, before you can say anything he just
“You had your world  taken from you.  You lost everything, and then you almost died about thirty five times.  Aren’t you angry??  Don’t you want, I don’t know, revenge!?  Why are you not more-!?”
And you cut him off, as one does
“Distressed?”
“YES!”
And you
Well
Your expression is blank
And that
Is kind of terrifying 
Then you walk over to Heisenberg (also scary)
And then
You smile
And it isn’t a genuine smile, it’s a fake, plastic smile
A customer service smile, if you will
And you go
“You wanna know my secret, Heis?  I lie to myself.  Every morning I wake up, and I’m here, surrounded by things that could end me without a second thought, and I tell myself it’s fine.  I tell myself that if I’m nice to everyone, I’ll be left alone, but I am lying.”
You lightly touch one of the scars you got from the hot but murderous vampire milf
You don’t notice that you do this
Heisenberg does
He says nothing, though, and you continue
“Your sister and her daughters tried to eat me.  Do you realize how fucked up that is?  And now she’s basically my next door neighbor.  A-and the lycans!  And the soldats!  I know you control them, but that- I-”
You stop for a second, once again recalling a painful memory before you continue
“This is killing me inside, very slowly.  Every day, I-I tell myself that if I keep up a positive attitude, I will get through this, and every day I believe it, but I am starting to slip, Heisenberg.  Look man, the light inside of me is dying, and I can’t leave, so I am trying to make the best of it.”
There’s a moment of silence and then you’re like
“So, do you want tacos for dinner?  Because I’m thinking tacos.”
Don’t ask me how you would get the necessary ingredients for tacos, i don’t want to think about it
He ignores the tacos question altogether though, so it doesn’t matter anyway
“Do you want to leave?”
You know those noises that cats make when they’re sleeping and then you pet them?
The “prt” ?
Yeah, you kind of make that noise
Because his question was not about soft tacos
“Huh?”
“Do you want to leave this place?  The village?”
And
Answering takes you a second
Because while your answer is actually “yes, please, take me out of here”
There are a lot of things you would miss
The duke is a cool dude
Moreau, Donna and Angie were all pretty chill as long as you weren’t a horror game protagonist 
And, of course 
Heisenberg.
You’d miss him.
and his voice
and the way he threw himself into his work
and the way he smelled like cigars and leather and metal
and the way he put up with your shenanigans 
and how sometimes he got angry on your behalf 
and how he just kind of
got you
in a way no one else had
Also, you’d miss the dead body factory
So
Instead of giving him a yes or no answer 
You look him in the eye
And you say
“I don’t want to leave you.”
.
.
.
fucking knockout, amirite??
You might as well just fucking kill him, babe
you already shattered his heart into pieces, sooooooo
Anyway
It gets quiet again
Neither of you move
Though, if Heisenberg had had a normal, not-traumatising childhood where he’d learned to express his emotions properly, he probably would have asked if he could hug you
But he doesn’t
Instead you clear your throat and start talking about tacos again 
Direct quote, “You’re my friend now.  We’re having soft tacos for dinner!”
But yeah
After that
Things are different
You’re both a little shook
but
Heisenberg makes sure you go to bed on time
He brings you coffee or tea or whatever
Makes sure you eat regularly 
And generally makes more of an effort to engage in conversation with you
It’s sweet
you notice it
And maybe you have to lie to yourself a little less
Anyway
Heisenberg now knows why you’re so chill, but he has no fucking clue why you’re so nice to him yet
Don’t worry
He’ll figure it out
Eventually
