tomorrow finale
ngl when they said he’d be demoted for six months, I kept hoping for the scene where he’d be the new RMT member to replace choi joon-woong. can you imagine?? ryeon AND ryung-gu as his superiors?? we were robbed!
honestly though the finale was practically wish fulfillment. he finally realizes why ryeon affected him so deeply all this time. the both of them have reverted to their flirting, pre-teen, full-on heart-eyes days and I honestly pity ryung-gu who has to suffer fifty years of this alone.
I keep thinking of ryeon just pushing him to reincarnate so he can be happy and move on, but he’d be like lolnope, and just dropping by all casual-like thinking he’s being all suave and wooing ryeon again. he’s already doing it! mentioning that he’d casually murder someone just so his wifey’s workload is lessened. did you hear his, ‘are you sure? just say the word, and you can have a new member again.’ no matter how well-adjusted he seems, his cat-gifting-his-master-a-corpse tendencies still haven’t changed. again I reiterate, poor ryung-gu. he has to suffer this all by himself for fifty more years.
we know both ryeon and ryung-gu will never reincarnate and manage the rmt team forever. you mean to tell me, joong-gil who didn’t even want to reincarnate when he only had intense feelings of hateloveconfusion towards ryeon, would choose to reincarnate NOW after reuniting with the love of his life (and death)?? ha, fat chance ryeon! If ryung-gu could choose not to reincarnate to be with his mother forever even if she broke their threads herself, then who’s to say that option isn’t available to joong-gil so he can stay with ryeon forever (another parallel between ryung-gu and joong-gil actually)?
This is basically the Jade Emperor’s way of subverting the red string of fate for the both of them. She wouldn’t have done anything if only Joong-gil didn’t love Ryeon THAT much that two reincarnations couldn’t make him move on. In other words, no matter how much he reincarnates, he could never forget those feelings. Ultimately it’s up to the both of their choices as to how they’ll proceed with their love from hereon out. I actually really loved it as a subversion of the red thread of fate trope.
And with Joon-woong and Choi-hui tied together, it means Ryeon will be reunited with two more people she loves upon their death. It shows a hopeful interpretation of passing on overall.
And as always, Joon-woong remains the goodest boi.
Basically they crossed over from tragic Romeo and Juliet love to workplace, married life, rom-com shenanigans. I am here for the genre shifts. I would watch an entire season two of their workplace dynamic once Joon-woong and Choi-hui enter Jumadeung. The three of them would dote so much on Ryeon, and Joong-gil would be happy to know his wife is taken care of during work hours. Meanwhile, the rest of the Senior Directors would be so flabbergasted and confused trying to find out when their Escort Team Leader became such a simp for the RMT leader.

On Kouyou and Mori's relationship
@2offayyo-kzt THANK YOU FOR ASKING because you prompted me to talk about Kouyou and I love talking about Kouyou. Original post the reply is referring to.
Okay most of it comes from the Kouyou / Mori / Chuuya scene at the closing of the guild arc. First off: in chapter 37 we are made aware that Kouyou decided to stay at the agency of her own accord. Besides from the reasons she had to stay, it's just pretty cool how it's confirmed that Kouyou doesn't feel like having Mori's orders or will she has to answer to and just... Pretty much is free to do whatever she wants. She doesn't care about what Mori requires from her - Mori who most definitely would have wanted her back at the pm as soon as possible - and just acts of her own accord, which is something that even Chuuya doesn't do.
Following up, Kouyou and Mori also reflect over how she's perfectly capable of freely leave the pm, yet she chooses not to (btw her little smirk following Mori acknowledgement of her abilities is SO cute). Again, it goes to show how independent she is from Mori (pretty much putting her on his same level I guess?), being able to leave the pm facing no consequences or retaliation, and just in general how master of her fate she is. It's nice, it's RARE for a franchise where female characters are usually just thrown from one side to the other by external factors and rarely get to choose for themselves.
Then - and so far I strayed a bit from the initial matter, but this is most relevant to the point I was making in the original post - she says “Shut up. I'll sew your mouth shout.” There's A LOT in those lines because it plainly shows how she just... Doesn't fear Mori, doesn't fear calling him out on his creepy behavior, doesn't fear (playfully? ← arguable) menacing him. She's just so unbound and free and self-governed, and totally unbothered by Mori unlike any other character (except for, well, Elise, who's part of Mori herself). It's a joy to see.
Next, the volume 10 extra. The “that's why I told you”, “I'll punch you”, it all goes to reinforce the concept that Kouyou is perfectly unafraid of Mori and doesn't shy away from calling him out and scolding him even sternly. But it's especially interesting to compare her behavior with Chuuya's. Where Chuuya tries to find accomodations for Mori, Kouyou scolds him, and later even accuses Chuuya of being “spoiling him”; their approach is completely different, and as a consequence their relationships with Mori are diametrically opposite. Again, back to my initial point: even Chuuya, who is one of the most self-reliant characters of them all, knows he has to answer to Mori, and accordingly treats him with respect; Kouyou is perfectly unbothered and unafraid.
And even more examples: chapter 42, Kouyou openly arguing with Mori's decision, lacking that mentality that is shared between pm operatives that Mori's plans are infallible and there's no point in questioning them (just think about how sure, confident and even smug Chuuya was about Mori's plan during the Guild arc, chapter 22). Chapter 43, Kouyou spending “half a year's worth of founds” to attack a government van, which I can guess goes against what Mori wants for the pm (lol) and once again just shows how Kouyou... Freely bosses around and does whatever she wants, answering to no one.
With this I'm not saying Kouyou doesn't care about Mori. She DOES care about Mori, she just doesn't in a “subordinate is loyal to their superior” kind of way. She cares about Mori, the thing is that she does because she chooses to and not for any other constraint, which arguably makes her the person that is closer and most loyal to him?? Because she has no second means for being loyal to him, and just does that because she wants to, which makes her loyalty the truest, most authentic one. And Mori knows that, and that's why she deserves to be the next pm boss, and I know they (authors) will never make her but she deserves it and she's the pm boss of my heart end of conversation.
Headcanon time while we're at it, I like to think for Kouyou to address to Mori so informally and familiarly is a way to make up / compensate for the trauma she underwent with the previous boss. When Mori killed the previous boss, she swore she would have never lived in fear again, and even though she ultimately decided to stay in the darkness, it's now her choice; a choice she personally and freely makes despite being aware of potentially, realistically being able to leave at any moment. Addressing Mori as he was her equal is a way for Kouyou to remind to herself about how free and unbound she is.
About Mori and Kouyou, I like to think they had this siblings-like relationship since before Mori became boss I mean, they canonly go cherry blossom sighting together. I like to think a very small, subconscious part of Mori killed the previous boss because Mori held resentment towards him for hurting Kouyou- but that's definitely straying too far alcbdklzbdkskxbks. I like to think Kouyou wanted Kyouka in the pm because she genuinely believed that under hers and Mori's lead Kyouka could be happy, that the pm was the place that most would have welcomed Kyouka, welcomed what Kouyou believed to be her nature.

Doodles I did while watching Pride and Predjudice 1995 with my roommates of very silly self indulgent Second Gen story ( soley made really to drive Mr Darcy to distraction)
George Wickham Jr. is invited to Christmas at Pemberly because Wickham and Lydia are basically on the run from their creditors again and Lizzie isn't about to let her nephew starve on the streets during winter no matter the relations between the parents.
And turns out to be a good thing they did as all the little Bennett cousins go out to skate on the frozen lake and young Silas Darcy falls through the ice, and George being the oldest and strongest manages to save him.
The boys recuperate together during the rest of the holidays and become fast friends--much to the concern of Mr Darcy--and that friend continues into their adult years where it starts to turn into something more...
(I know they're cousins they're also fictional and adults and it was legal then-- even if not for necessarily this circumstance--and they're gay they ain't having any bio kids anyway )

Went to the vet with the little old man on monday and the vet emailed me the results from blood tests today.
I was suspecting thyroid issues and she suspected the same after the check up. But it turns out he has liver inflammation/hepatitis.
Starting antibiotics for at least few weeks, and from now on he'll be on special kibble+ supplement that support liver problems.
He is still doing pretty well all things considered, and most importantly still has an appetite. This makes me hopeful for the chance of recovering from the worst of it.
He is very thin, he could double his weight and still be in the normal range for male coons. But it's been really good that i've been able to get him atleast some weight in the last 6 months, because it's likely been on a steady decline for a very long time by now. (and mom hadn't noticed it at all, so who knows when it started)
He did have a little murmur in the heart, and his left side and is a bit weaker than his right, but those are likely just old cat things.
For his age he does have very good dental health though! That I am very happy about, because if something in pet healthcare is expensive as hell, it's dental surgeries...
Eyes and ears were all good too.
And the vet was absolutely lovely and did such a comprehensive check up, it was actually much more than I thought it would be for the price I paid.
The new diet means the price of cat food pretty much quadrupled for me, just like that. That is something I could manage to pinch from my welfare, but it does put a pretty big money stress loop into my head.
And well, I need to take him for a control visit after maybe 1-2months on the new diet, to see if the blood test results have improved. That's gonna be another 300€ moneysink. and THAT is an amount I don't have lmao. So expect some comm slots opening in the next few months.
I'm still planning on taking this month easy though, I need the battery charge xux
I have an important doctor visit for myself tomorrow and all of my thoughts are just in... cat health instead. Agh. Will have to try and write down a list of things I need to remember to bring up.

Sorry to be heavy on main but people love to talk a big game about helping “vulnerable populations” when really they mean the visibly homeless. You ask them what we can do for vulnerable adults living in unsafe environments that are a home or place that is not visibly publicly and they throw their hands in the air and go “well there’s nothing that we can do if they don’t want help.”
Okay so you want to force homeless people from their encampments into pretty little boxes designed to house them but when it comes to a senior citizen whose home is physically falling down around them, living in waste we’re just gonna let that happen? We put together a task force to “help along” the homeless people living in their cars that stop along our town green to take advantage of our free wifi, but do nothing for the people actually living in this town? It’s hypocritical as fuck.
You don’t care about vulnerable people, you only care about the ones that affect your physical viewpoint.
