#i like human and monster relationships

[tofixtheshadows]

So I've been thinking lately about how Mithrun is Kabru's dark mirror (more on that another time- it needs its own post), and I thought it interesting that one of their parallels is that they were both cared for by Milsiril, but in opposite directions. She took Kabru in as her foster after he was orphaned and tried to convince him not to become an adventurer. On the flip side, she helped rehabilitate Mithrun specifically so that he could rejoin the Canaries.

And I kept wondering: why?

For Kabru, obviously she loves him a whole lot- despite any other shortcomings in their relationship, I do believe that.

So I get why she tries to convince him not to go dungeoning, and, failing that, at least prepares him as thoroughly as she can.

But why help Mithrun? She used to hate Mithrun, but after realizing what a secretly twisted person he was, she actually thought of him more positively (oh, Milsiril). So it wasn't as if she held the kind of grudge that might motivate her to make his already-depleted life even more miserable by sending him back to the dungeons. And it wasn't that she felt bad for him either, since she didn't visit Mithrun for the first ~20 years of his recovery.

The Adventurer's Bible says that Utaya was the impetus for Mithrun returning to the Canaries, but Milsiril is the one who made the trip to see him and tell him about it.

Why would Milsiril work so hard to get her old coworker back into fighting fit? Why encourage him to return to such a dangerous lifestyle, when she was the one who chose not to mercy-kill him?

That last panel is such a crazy thing to hint at and then never elaborate on. Without it we could have just thought that Milsiril wanted the Canaries' work to continue without her, even if it seemed out of character. I think some people even assume she's just a natural caretaker as a foster mom and handwave it to include nursing Mithrun too. What could Milsiril's suspicious motives be? What does she gain from Mithrun joining the Canaries that isn't an altruistic desire to see dungeons safely sealed? Feeling a sense of responsibility for the work she left behind isn't an ulterior motive.

My theory is: Milsiril, knowing that Mithrun was empty save for the burning desire to face the demon again, wound him up like a clockwork doll and pointed him back at the dungeons.

Hoping that he'd eliminate the biggest threat to Kabru's life, before it was too late for him.

Milsiril the puppetmaster.

#Dungeon Meshi #Dungeon Meshi meta #Mithrun #Milsiril #Kabru #btw I'm working with the only translations I could find sorry #so keep that in mind #like it just seemed WEIRD to me #that gloomy introverted Milsiril #who left the life of a Canary behind #decided to do this Canary-adjacent work of helping this guy #maybe the queen made her do it because so many people died and they needed more Canaries idk! #but why would anyone pick Milsiril as a life coach? I really think it was her own choice #it's so interesting how we get these hints of a downright sinster Milsiril #I really like the complicated relationship she and Kabru have #struggling to fully humanize him from her elven perspective #but still taking him seriously wrt: his fears over being a monster or his desire to go to a party! #crazy stuff there #everything about Kabru and adjacent to Kabru is insane what a character #musings with Dea

This one is in response to @fizzytastic asking

"I would LOVE to know what you mean regarding the light novels."

Dazai in the light novels has been down BAD since the day he met Chuuya.

I know the whole "must be because I love you" can be viewed as a joke but my man actually "whispered with a look of regret" at being shot down.

He also proceeded to cheat during the game by tampering with the machine to ensure Chuuya would lose the bet and become his dog. He was also stated as being in awe of Chuuya's fighting ability, repeatedly refering to him as "incredible". Dazai also flat out admits to wanting to try out living because "Chuuya convinced" him.

He is even described as having forgotten how to breathe watching Chuuya fight.

Moving on to the events of Stormbringer, Dazai spends too long exposing his obsession with Chuuya, telling the big bad that he spends all his "days and nights thinking about ways to annoy Chuuya".

He further proceeds to insist that Chuuya is human because of how strongly he hates Chuuya and due to a specific word it can be viewed as him saying Chuuya would hate him less if he wasnt human as was stated in the stage play of the same.

Furthermore at the end of Stormbringer he offers to come up with a new plan to give Chuuya an out if he needs one when he has to use corruption as a last resort. And he fully intends on coming up with a new plan within 2 minutes.

In general Dazai does a lot of staring at Chuuya throughout the light novels. On a lighter note Dazai jokes about wanting Chuuya as his personal maid at one point and demands that Chuuya let Dazai look inside his head and know everything there is to know about him.

But then we move onto the dragon head conflict as mentioned in Dead Apple where after making light of an executive's death and getting punched in the face by Chuuya, Dazai is so shaken up by Chuuya implying he's inhuman, he actually pulls strings to try and bring the conflict to an end. He also stops corruption by touching his cheek and pulls Chuuya's head into his lap while he is unconscious after his fight with Shibusawa. The following is from the manga.

Now everyone knows about the whole Snow White and Prince reference but in the light novel its clarified that Chuuya's ability was not affected by the fog and Dazai knew this but he still forces his head down. Even more telling is that Dazai cradles Chuuya's face for no real reason because Corruption had already been nullified when Chuuya made skin to skin contact when punching him in the face.

And of course that was how their expressions are drawn in the manga panel

Then we move to the present day and you have Dazai saying this to Sigma about Chuuya

But then his comment about Gide has him claim the exact same behaviour is romantic in his messed up troll brain

Basically Dazai has a history of staring at Chuuya in awe since 15, "jokingly" confessed at 15 and then got somewhat upset about the rejection, cheated to be able to keep Chuuya as his, repeatedly makes remarks that imply he is vaguely obsessed with him at 16, tends to let Chuuya rest his head in his lap post corruption, has nullified him twice that we have seen by touching his cheek (as per the movie and once as per the ln). Is actively affected by how Chuuya views him (which was shocking to me).

Aside from that he has also talked about Chuuya to the ADA off screen because Yosano knew about Chuuya and his ability (though this could just be a random update about the membera of the mafia to watch out for during meetings) and I heard he talked about Chuuya to Oda in The Day I Picked Up Dazai ln.

This is not counting any of the seriously insane amount of wan content because I dont view it as canon or atleast entirely canon but there Dazai admits to keeping 27 journals detailing things about Chuuya and its an exaggeration of the canon fact that Dazai prides himself in being a Chuuya Nakahara Encyclopedia. It also plays with how close they both actually are with several character refering to them as besties, Chuuya being forced to admit he doesnt actually hate Dazai.

(Oh and this is not even considering just how much Dazai touches Chuuya, like in the manga there is a part where Dazai keeps tugging at Chuuya's hair and refusing to let go while complaining about how much he doesnt want to touch him. Just let go dude...)

So yea, I would not be surprised if Dazai has his vows prepared by the time the last pre defection ln drops. Ofcourse this is mostly a lighthearted joke about Dazai being down bad but in all seriousness, Dazai genuinely cared about and still cares about Chuuya and its made extremely obvious throughout the novels. Its actually worth noting that it was actually Chuuya who seemed to be more vitriolic towards him until the end of Stormbringer where Dazai actually gives Chuuya a choice and shows open concern for Chuuya's needs. Hell Dazai was also the one insisting on Chuuya's autonomy, while he keeps insisting Chuuya is his dog, he hates the idea of people using him like a tool, its why he always gives Chuuya a choice. Chuuya always actively chooses to go rescue Dazai in Dazai's plans of getting kidnapped. Chuuya can always go, "nah, I dont wanna use corruption" but he doesnt because he knows since the events of stormbringer that Dazai will always give him a choice even if corruption seems like a last resort.

Chuuya has good reason for trusting Dazai. Its cause Dazai has in fact proven to him that he can trust him. Its why he went in to fight a dragon despite being told Dazai was possibly already dead.

(And yea I know the current arc would have people go "lol he tried to drown Chuuya, he clearly doesnt care" and you know what? That's so dumb. Dazai tried to drown Chuuya, yes. But we dont actually know what is happening with this arc rn and what he is doing or if Chuuya is in any way involved in whatever he is doing. Dazai said all those things and there was no need for him to say that but the fact that he even remembered several moments they shared, yea no, he was clearly affected by it. Maybe I am wrong and Asagiri decided to yeet out all of Dazai's characterization we saw with his behaviour towards Chuuya in 2 entire novels of his past but IDK I think I'm gonna wait till this arc ends and everything unfolds before making a conclusion about how Dazai is such an asshole he tried to drown his partner.)

Seriously, vows are like the least they could do at this point.

#soukoku #ah my ramblings #i just really really love the light novels #i am mostly joking about the romance of it all #mostly #but Dazai cares about Chuuya and idk I think this is such an important aspect of Dazai's character #like even if you dont lile the ship its really not fair to ignore how much Dazai genuinely cared for Chuuya #not because it supports the ship but because it shows that Dazai despite his claims of being a monster was ridiculously human #he saw this boy he was fasicnated by and he said- I need to keep him as my friend #and proceeded to do it in the most unsocialized troll brained clown way #i love this boy so much #someone hug him please #dont get me wrong I dont think dazai and chuuya's relationship was super healthy but it wasnt as toxic as people make it seem either #yes Dazai desperately needed Oda and Ango but Chuuya was also and is still an important part of his life #long post #i am not going back to chexk for writing errors. I'm sleepy.

[sunshineneedsaplacetokeephernsfw]

Once upon a time I found vampires as a boring option as a monster fucker/lover. Mainly because I just saw them as pale humans who drink blood and had yet to see a piece of media take full advantage of the differences between humans and vampires and all the interesting things a vampire/human relationship could offer.

Mainly because I hadn't seen a lot and only exposure was a few posts in the teratophilia tag that didn’t sell me. But having recently consumed a piece of media that sold me on just how interesting a vampire/human relationship could be and all of the fun things that could be done with it. (If you've seen my blog at all recently, you know exactly what I'm talking about)

So since my adhd brain won't shut up about all the things that could be done with it, I will ran about the things that can be done with it here.

Sorry that it's probably disorganized and certain words might be repeated a lot. This is just me writing down all of my thoughts.

First of all there's all of the different features of vampires that different tellings of them offer. There's the obvious stuff like fangs and drinking blood to survive, sunlight being harmful to them, being able to turn into a bat, them being immortal. And there's also some things someone might forget at first like not being able to see them in mirrors, or even garlic being harmful to them. Maybe these things wouldn't be that useful to consider when writing a smut oneshot, but they are small details that would effect their life and interactions they might have with a human.

Like, maybe the human is inspecting themselves in the mirror and the vampire sneaks up behind them and whispers "Boo". The human jumps before laughing and playfully shoving the vampire away but leans into their touch after they snake their arms around the human's waist. Or maybe vampires can't be seen in pictures, much to the human's dismay because they want to remember what the vampire looks like, so they teach themselves to draw so they can draw what the vampire looks like and can always look back at that picture.

Or them trying to figure out what to do when they realize the vampire will outlive the human by a lot.

Or since vampires are stereotyped to live in gothic mansions (at least from what I can tell), lean into that gothic aesthetic. Or have them live somewhere else and lean into the aspects or aesthetic that would come with that.

But my favorite thing of all about vampire/human relationships is the dynamic and potential power dynamic or imbalance that could present.

Of course, if someone wants to write a healthy romance, they might not want to lean into that. But it could still be done in an interesting way of the characters doing their best to figure out how to have a healthy relationship and communicate with each other if they see something that could potentially become an issue and come up with a solution.

The fact that they rely on blood to survive and are much stronger and faster than humans immediately introduces a predator aspect to them which could create an interesting dynamic between the vampire and what they would usually consider food.

And even then, the abilities that make vampires so much more stronger and dangerous to humans could lead to a feeling of superiority over humans in vampire society and make it even more difficult for a vampire to interact with a human without treating them as food or a pet, or simple amusement. But humans and vampires still have the same mental capacity and ability to make connections, and potentially long for someone to be with. And how those two sides could mix or collide or be at war with each other.

It would be interesting to see how the relationship starts off like with the vampire only seeing them as a future snack or amusement, and how it slowly changes as they interact and then the journey of how it blossoms into a legitimate romance. Or it could be an exploration of the toxic elements and power imbalance in the relationship and how it effects the characters (like in Castlevania how Lenore legitimately cares about and is attracted to Hector, but still treats him like a pet in some cases).

Of course, you don't have to write vampires like this. Your world building and the ways vampires see or interact with humans could be completely different and that's okay, just make sure to explore it.

And obviously not all vampires will act the same, each will have their own personalities, ways they decide to feed, and how they decide to interact with humans. You could have a world where most vampires despise humans, but have a vampire that's never interact with much other vampires and tries to live in hiding amongst humans instead and does their best to gain their blood through methods that won't hurt others. Or maybe if there's a vampire that doesn’t realize they’re treating their human friend like a pet. Or a vampire that plans on keeping the human around until their bored or hungry, but end up developing actual feelings along the way and can't imagine a life without them (which could either develop into a sweet love confession or them becoming even more possessive).

Overall, I just really like it when vampire/human stories really explore aspects like these. And stories when it would be impossible to switch out the vampire with a human without the story not making sense.

And while the main dynamic I talked about is very good for dark romances, it's also really sweet if it's about a love so strong that it overcomes all of these obstacles any vampire/human interaction would come across

#my writer brain going brr for 800 words #monster lover #monster fucker #writing #my thoughts #teratophillia #vampire #another thing I thought of that I didn't feel like writing above is how strength played a factor in human dynamics #and how because in the past being strong was important it led to societal power imbalances between men and women #that only became more and more ingrained in the culture and people's minds #I could be wrong about this but I think this is how it probably went #and only as technology grew and decreased the need for strength in everyday life did things start to become more equal #but it took a lot of work to fight for these changes #and even today we're still experiencing the effects of some power imbalances #and we're the same species! #but that was just my worldbuilding brain looking to some real world examples #of how something like this could effect relationships and dynamics

I just realized the 'human guiding their alien/monster/nonhuman lover through the human world' trope is very neurodivergent-coded bc it's basically someone helping someone they love through basic, everyday tasks that they struggle with and being unconditionally loving and patient the entire time.

"oh you don't know how to laundry? Don't worry I'll teach you"

"need help using the stove? It's ok I'll help"

"unaware of common greetings, slang or other customs? It's alright I understand"

"don't know how to do common tasks that most people, including myself, know how to? It's ok I still love you regardless and I will help you every step of the way"

yeah so I guess that's why I love this trope so much.

#neurodivergent #romance trope #ship dynamic #relationship dynamic #writing trope #human x nonhuman #monster love #adhd #no bc #it comforts me so much #I'm so used to being met with frustration when I can't do a basic task #so seeing this trope is so comforting to me #this could also be a parent and child trope if you like #both? Both. Both is good #shitpost

new otp is Gaius and Evelyn from Rune Factory 3. like, i'm sorry, he has a hard time expressing his feelings because she assumes every gift he gives her is a commission to turn it into an outfit? And she, the resident fashion designer who uses fish and fondue for her out-there fashions seems to relish the challenges he gives her? But when he gives her an engagement ring, one he made as a blacksmith meant to suit her perfectly, she considers this the hardest commission he's presented her with yet and after asking you to suss out the kind of girl he likes, SHE DECIDES TO WEAR THE RING AND WALK SIDE BY SIDE WITH HIM AS HER GREATEST ATTEMPT AT COORDINATION YET. HELLO?

#rose and rambles #new goal: have a fictional relationship that captures that unhinged but endearing energy #been replaying rune factory 3 and i love the rune factory series so so so so much #i love 3 because of the whole half monster half human protag and how the heart events basically get the protag #to open up about his half monster side to someone he loves and trusts #its very dear to me #rune factory 4 is still my fav tho. perfect replayability EXCEPT 3 has spoiled me with how easy the heart events are to unlock #ive been getting that 4 itch again but remembering how random the heart events are im like nooooooooooooooooo gib me message boards pleeeas #Anyway this is the first time ive unlocked the Gaius and Evelyn romance post game #and boy it was a treat

Everyone say hi to the baby ^_^ been thinking about future cryptid posse stuff lately…

She’s been in my head for a good couple years now but i never really settled on anything until recently :)

Penny is lowkey an impulsive decision at first, Mokji brings up having a baby one night when Eddie’s about 36 and Eddie isn’t really on board at all because this was coming completely out of nowhere to him (also the fact Eddie’s job isn’t the safest in the world for raising a baby around) and it ends with them getting in a decent argument and Mokji locking himself in the bathroom while Eddie goes across the hall to talk to Mot about things :/

Eventually they talk about it (more so Eddie has to coax Mokji to talk about it instead of just letting him dance around the subject) and after lots of talking and legal stuff and paperwork Penny is had when Eddie is at least 42 ^_^

For the Phemie doodle at this point in the timeline her and Mokji (and the other gods like Illy, Salvi, & Huni) are all cordial with each other, i don’t think the other three (Phemie, Salvi, Huni) really see Mokji often considering they aren’t exactly friendly with him but i’m sure they visit once or twice after they learn news of the baby. Phemie isn’t super interested in her or babies in general, all her would be “motherly instinct” as the goddess of nature were zapped from her after having to basically raise the boys all on her own and teach them how to be gods :/ she still congratulates Mokji nonetheless, again they’re cordial at this point (albeit a little awkward)

(click for better quality)

#phemie with short hair save me….save me phemie with short hair…. #i think mokji is the only current god to consider kids tbh 😭 #ilima is way too bonded with mokji to even consider being with someone else #salvi and huni also only really do anything with each other in terms of a human like relationship #and phemie just doesn’t connect with people really at all to have romance in her life #my stuff #my art #oc #monster oc

i think some folks may need to have the word "queerbaiting" revoked from their vocabulary until they learn what it means. perhaps

#soda offers you a can #i would not make anyone watch bbc sherlock bc im not a monster but that show defines queerbaiting at every turn #two characters having a deep and meaningful relationship is not queerbaiting by itself #it requires the narrative to set them up in a very particular way where you're forced to read them as romantic #only for that same narrative to deny the existence of any romance repeatedly #bbc sherlock deliberately leads the audience to believe there's romantic tension between sherlock and john #from side characters etc repeatedly assuming they are a couple to some Very deliberate scenes #that would immediately be painted as obvious romance if one of them was a woman #however it also insists on the heterosexuality of both john and sherlock by setting the former up with several girlfriends #and turning irene adler into a quirky little crush for sherlock (who also cures her of being a lesbian i guess) #and obviously john gets a wife but she must be killed off so the homosexual tension between john and sherlock can resume #and we can keep guessing if they end up together or not #they won't. but the writing very deliberately lead the audience to believe this #that's like. shit the defines queerbaiting #it's not Real Human People not telling the world they're queer #and it's not two characters having a relationship that's got more depth than a kiddie pool #sorry. new pet peeve unlocked. or old one rediscovered im not sure

thinking about the monster boyz AU & how kel never gets to be truly happy in it...

#& having the audacity to feel heartbroken about it as if i’m not the one who wrote it #like. ok. kel has a pretty shit life in every universe but #the silver lining is that he eventually gets to break free & be himself & have the life he wants #but in mbz he spends his entire childhood in survival mode #he gets like. 1 year maybe 2 where he gets out from under his dad’s thumb but #he spends that time unpacking his trauma & unlearning negative coping mechanisms & fear responses #& figuring out who he is & what he wants #& before he can make any real progress the fuckin apocalypse happens! & he’s right back to survival mode #then he DIES & becomes red which comes with a whole other set of problems #like he meets teeth who in theory is the love of his life #but they’re both too messed up to do it right & the relationship is so intense #& so unhealthy & not at all how love is supposed to be #& then eventually he dies again for real this time #like. man. i’m sorry kel lol #on the bright side. i do have the apocalypseAU which is the mbzAU but the boys do not become monsters #instead they meet as humans and survive the apocalypse together. it’s a much happier version of the story lol #rainyrambles

NSFW Warning: This contains people mentioning having sex. They do not have sex in this, but it is mentioned that they did. Honestly not sure how required this warning is in this case but I’m not taking any chances.

Bastion: *brooding after having sex with Ida for the first time*

Ida: *tired but staying awake to address whatever angsty nonsense this is* “Hey you, that’s a very thinky frown”

Bastion: “Ida, what are we?”

Ida: *hums* “Good question, well I’m squatting in your freaky death house and you’re trying to eat me sooo Tom and Jerry?”

Bastion: “I only meant that we just had sex”

Ida: *drily* “So did Tom and Jerry.”

Bastion: *fretting* “I really like you.” Ida: “Yep, that’s been made very clear.”

Bastion: “But I want to eat you”

Ida: “Also, been made pretty clear.”

Bastion: “And I would like to do this with you again”

Ida: “Me too actually.”

Bastion: *crescendo of fretting* “But Ida, if I caught you, I would still devour you, in fact I feel hungrier for you now than I did before.”

Ida: “Mn, creepy, but I’ll allow it”

Bastion: *finally notices that Ida is being smart with him* “Ida I get the distinct impression that you aren’t taking this conversation particularly seriously”

Ida: “Bastion, we just fucked.”

Bastion: “Language.”

Ida: *sticks tongue out* “I am tired and the post coitus fuzzies aren’t going to make my input on this any sounder but: I’ve never actually felt safe, at any point in my life, not really, so if you’re worried I’ve misread the danger you pose, then you’re wrong, I don’t trust you to not be a predator Bastion, but…*intertwines her hand with his* I am trusting you with this.”

Bastion: “This” *spoken reverently* “I want this so badly Ida, but what if tomorrow is the day I catch you?”

Ida: *reaches out with other hand and boops his nose* “I think you’re getting ahead of yourself spider boy, but, on the off chance you get very very lucky, I’m not going to hold your true nature against you.”

Bastion: “Could you perhaps promise that? I know humans are not as bound by these things as Fae, but it would comfort me to hear you promise.”

Ida: *rolls eyes* “Bastion, I promise not to hold you trying to eat me or succeeding at eating me against you just because we’ve had sex”

Bastion: “It’s silly I know, I want to devour you, but I do not want to betray you or hurt you. I thought to keep how I felt a secret from you. When I realised I loved you, I was ashamed of myself, I have always been greedy, hunger has ever been my nature, but to want your heart and affection, even though I could never resist devouring you, it seemed a degree of selfishness outrageous even to me”

Ida: “Well, I won’t say it’s not greedy, but I will say I don’t really mind” *yawns*

Bastion: “Ida?”

Ida: *sleepily* “Yes Bastion?”

Bastion: “If I catch you can I still kiss you? Can I hold you gently before I eat you? Can I address you warmly even when you are digesting inside me?

Ida: “Sure Bastion” *yawns* “I don’t see mnn why not…” *falls asleep*

Bastion: “…” *holds her tightly*

“You did not,” Davey says raggedly, his voice low and rusted as he stares right through Jack’s chest, “tell me what was chasing you.”

“Chasing me?” Jack whispers. His stomach drops, his palms sweat, his throat closes up like he’s being choked, up against the wall, drops of spittle flecking his face, ‘what did you do?!’-

Davey’s hands clap against his shoulders, keeping him pressed – like gravity – to the ground.

“He won’t get in.” And when he says it, Jack knows it’s true. There are no lies in the way Davey stares into his eyes, his brow tight and determined, his mouth set in a stubborn, furious line – his blue, blue eyes glinting like daggers in the moonlight. “We won’t let him.”

Jack wants to believe him. Desperately, he does. But he can’t help the way his eyes flick to the blood and ash smeared across Davey’s temple.

“What…” He says weakly, the words catching and cutting against his tender throat. “How…?”

Davey bites his lip. Looks away. Closes his eyes and breathes, bone-deep.

“Rage makes monsters of all men.”

Jack trembles. Trembles like a child. He swallows thickly, forces himself to be solid.

“You said…” He coughs into his fist, shakes away the lump in his throat, because he’s twenty one and men don’t cry, even if he still feels childishly raw. “You said you don’t work with monsters.”

Davey’s eyes flick open, moon-silver, otherworldly and ancient and dangerous.

“I don’t work with monsters.” He says low in his throat. “But all men bleed.”

#cryptid au has a name now!! #this isn't gonna be anything intense or action heavy like ianafe - i don't even think i'm gonna make it a multichap like i thought #but i love exploring humanity in literature and i think jack's relationship with his father is fascinating given the little we know about i #and i love writing about cryptids and monsters and humans that are only human in name #and creatures that have more humanity than so called 'humans' themselves #i also especially love the idea of davey having this weirdgirl hiker field-researcher journalist overall nerd vibe #but also like. studies bigfoot for funzies. has camped in the TNT area. can and WILL use a shotgun if necessary. #especially against shitty dads #manhattan WV #pigeon scribbles #javid #jack kelly #davey jacobs #david jacobs #newsies #livesies #uksies #west endsies

not even joking i would kill for some kind of beyond evil sequel focusing on jihwa. it doesn't even have to be a full time drama. a mini-series, a movie, anything is fine i just need it

#she has so much potential as a character but the show just didn't. have. time for her #and i'm always sad about it #jwds don't need to be there like they can be referenced or make a guest appearance idc #jihwa works in a violent crimes unit #you're telling me there can't be a compelling story about a woman with decades of unpacked trauma #encountering worst of humanity everyday but desperately trying to believe in the goodness of it and through it in the goodness of self #you're telling me we can't have an arc of her finally forgiving herself for leaving for doubting for wanting more for herself #there's so much that can be explored #literally do none of you ever think about you're better than me you're all better than me i hope jeongje did it i'm a monster right #do you never think about i'm sorry but what i wanted was to run away not to be consumed by your desires #do you never head in hands over i never got in your way once i let you do whatever you wanted and now you're telling me not to cross over #she's always delivering lines of all time and for what #actually i take it back #dongsik can be there #series focusing on jh&ds's relationship would slap #also kim shinrok and shin hakyun as leads #their sheer acting power alone would blast brain outta my skull please and thank you #have not had interest in watching anything recently beyond evil let me fucking go let me care about something else PLEASE #promise of upcoming shim nayeon thriller drama with two female leads is the only thing keeping me afloat tbh #whenever that happens
