screenshot redraw! though i took creative liberty in making it rain here even though it isnt (yet) in the screenshot bc i thought it'd be cool (i also enjoy drawing water droplets)
there are two versions of the drawing here, the first one is edited for mobile to get it to look closer to my intended colors, while the second one is the original from my computer. the third image here being the original screenshot, lol

"ES!" Kotoko yells at you, and you jump in surprise as-
Something rams itself into the wall in front of you but instead of a loud crack as presumed bones hit hard strone. It's body compresses, making a wet squelching sound as it does as the flesh expands.
You can't bring yourself to move as it dislodges itself, it raises it head and too long neck and turns to look at you.

i talked alot about juwons guilt but i dont think i properly took the time to indulge in dongsiks guilt (mainly because. look at him. where do you even start) yuyeon going missing + her fingers appearing on their yard is such a pivotal moment for his entire character and his motivations towards the world. like yeah he's angry he's disheartened he's helpless but most of all he's guilty. in a way none of those police thought he was. he's guilty because he didnt look after her better. he's got survivor's guilt on top of that because none of his family members went through that ordeal without either dying or being bedridden, meanwhile he's still walking on two feet and he's still the one people point at and cast aside and still the one cleaning up the house and dusting the windows and visiting his mother and bringing her fruits and trying so, so hard to compensate for what he couldn't manage to do; protect his sister. he becomes caring. thoughtful. loving. he becomes the most sympathetic character among all of them. he cared about every single person in that town despite their wariness towards him. he cared about jihwa and jihoon and jeongje and literally everyone else in that circle in a way he thought he should've been when yuyeon was still around. and still that would never bring her back. which is why on top of all that care and love is the madness and the slight dip into insanity because what's the fucking point. but at the same time it's i cant handle another person ending up like yuyeon. which is why minjeong dying was so fucking heartbreaking because he tried so so goddamn hard to protect these people out of the guilt that he didnt protect his sister enough and STILL he failed at it. (in his own perspective of course) its why he takes the ENTIRE responsibility of handling the truth by himself because he thinks it's HIS fault that it's happening all over again and this endless cycle of beating himself up and trying to amend things by himself and ruining himself in the process starts begins once more until. until juwon arrives with a guilt as big as his, a guilt that mirrors his own and that endless cycle slowly starts to shatter and both of them began to unknowingly try to find redemption through each other and its why that last scene is so fucking important too because dongsik getting handcuffed is like closing the door on the abuse that the guilt has done to him and twisting the key and throwing it away and he needed juwon to do that for him, because no one would understand the guilt better than juwon. there was never gonna be another person to arrest him because even though he's resolving his own guilt he's also taking juwons guilt upon himself and telling juwon look, here, cuff it away, youre good now, you dont have to suffer anymore. even though his future seems so bleak with the arrest he still tries so hard to do what he failed to do with yuyeon. protect her. at least this time he could protect juwon before the man could live with the guilt forever. at least this time when he meets juwon again he knows he succeeded.

In spite of Schuylers black eyes, I have still a part for the public and another for you; so your impatience to have me married is misplaced; a strange cure by the way, as if after matrimony I was to be less devoted than I am now.
Alexander Hamilton to John Laurens, September 16, 1780
I was just re-reading this quote for the first time in a while, and realized it’s got some unique qualities that point to its integrity as a piece of evidence.
With the Laurens-Hamilton relationship, how many possible meanings a letter has is almost more important than what is said in the first place. This isn’t a quote that can be excused as humor or teasing or “how people wrote back then.” It’s a serious quote from Hamilton that talks about his relationship with Laurens, which we don’t have to many of. It’s not like the beginning of the April 1779 letter, which can be brushed off as “how people wrote.” It’s not innuendo that can be excused as “bawdy humor.” It’s a serious and non-flowery or sentimental sentence which contains many elements that point to a romance between Hamilton and Laurens. There is no other strong explanation for Laurens to be directly compared to Schuyler. (And especially the “black eyes” part-- in spite of something Hamilton is attracted to about his wife, he still has a “part” for Laurens...) The rest of the quote is even more implicating-- why would Laurens want Hamilton to be married so that Hamilton’s affection would wane? Why would their relationship need a cure if it was a socially acceptable friendship?
tl, dr: Because Hamilton’s writing is so direct and clear, with so few opposing interpretations, (but many implications!) or the ability to be construed as a joke, this letter is a pretty unique piece of evidence, and one of the strongest to suggest a Laurens-Hamilton relationship. (And good for refuting criticism.)

Reason I think I got The Tism #193709:
I don't understand dishonesty.
Like, I grasp the concept. I know what a lie is. I am capable of lying I have lied before, and I know other people lie. I know some lies are 'good and polite' and others are 'mean and harmful' (its not always clear which is which though). I understand the motivations behind lying, stealing, scamming, and generally taking advantage of other people for your own gain, but like...
Why? I get lying to spare someones feelings, or for safety, or to not ruin a surprise. I understand stealing if its out of necessity. But, don't maliciously dishonest people who fool others for their own gain (or for 'fun') feel... idk, Bad about doing that...? :/

i am a huge supporter of no romance in sonic whatsoever because 1. pre reboot archie sonic shows exactly what can happen when sonic writers are allowed to pair up whoever they want and write romance focused stories and it was Absolute Torture and 2. heavy focus on romance just feels REALLY out of place for sonic. friendship and family should be the main focus always in terms of character relationships. however i think tangle and whisper should be allowed to be a couple for real. the solution here is to just keep everything the same as it was before except randomly have tangle start calling whisper her girlfriend with no explanation the next time they show up

Can we call out for someone?
It doesn't matter who it is. But can't we try?
You don't remember anyone, just the faint smell of roses.
You try to call out anyway.
...
The water level rises.

like not to sound like a bitch cause i definitely have some ships that don't Make Sense but also i genuinely cannot understand roygarth shippers,, even when they're at their friendliest, they Barely stand each other. they're Only friendly because they have mutual friends. roy is actively racist and antagonistic to garth. garth usually just deals with it but every now and then he uses roy's worst insecurities against him. like. they fucking hate each other???
