the way Kusanagi has been able to take Hiryuu castle & transform our perspective of it without spending hardly any time there before now is incredible. it used to be this place of comfort, of happiness and security especially for Yona, but as we learn more about the corrupt government and our perception of King Il changes to become more ambiguous and obscure, our view of the castle changes too. by the time the Happy Hungry Bunch are there it has this enclosed, confining feel, and there’s a sense of discomfort as Yona realizes her safe place in childhood is now a place of danger for her. the dragons even talk about how safe they feel and how that’s worrisome because they’re technically in enemy territory. it makes a sense of dissonance, creating a creepiness that attaches to the castle walls that seems to close in on Yona, keeping her separated from her loved ones. it’s a great contrast/parallel to Yona’s own change over the series and how she’s growing further from the naive princess who once lived in that castle
It is hilarious that Hak does not understand, that Yona is even now not able to rule alone, let alone before her 16 birthday when she lived as a pampered princess.
The people of Kouka do not deserve a “potential candidate”, but a capable ruler. Soo Won is not able to foresee the future...Yona could have even been crushed by the truths she had to learn...I do think it is hilarious.
And no...Yona is not Soo Won´s equal...at least not yet. She has much to learn until she is ready...And it is not selfish of Soo Won to make her queen.
She can literally not take the offer...and Soo Won does not need to care...he is dead then...Should the living fight...He has done enough.
Soo Won helped Yona greatly as much as he hurt her...The kingdom would have been shattered if he had not acted...
And honestly...Soo Won is dying...why does Hak just selfishly think about “his dream?”...Does he think that Soo Won only exists to please him? I mean that is selfish...just saying.
It was announced to the public that Yuhon’s death was a tragic accident, and considering the location of the incident according to Keishuk’s memory, the announcement should have been something like “The war hero died having fallen off a cliff~” and Soowon probably heard that “official” version millions of times due to his father’s renown…
And y’know when else he heard that someone close to him died falling off a cliff?
One person asked to see this compromised Deviantart Flash animation from 2015, and when one person asks me something, I apparently do it.
This storyboard was the second piece of Undertale "fanart" I created at the time, explaining why Asgore's ears are wrong. I never finalized it in any way, I never intended to, but it is the predecessor to this video here.

No one will tell Soowon that he has worked hard enough and praise him. Soowon is also used to not being praised, thinking that this is what he should do. Everyone expects him to meet all requirements. At this point, I think Soowon is more like a god. He not only takes his own responsibilities, but also those of others.
Yeah...I was more or less speechless, when I read in those spoilers that Hak blames him "for the mess he created"...When he was the one actually sorting the mess all those adults before him created, namely above else King Il.
I think he had a really hard and brutal life with losing both of his parents at age 9, having to face the murderer of his father for years and than he has to rip out his heart, become king and trying to strengthen Kouka and its people...just to die before he is 20 years old...most likely forgotten by many people.
It feels like an overreaction to burst into tears over, essentially, "Go for it," but makes sense when you realize no one takes her seriously.
Her father, Tetora, and even Yona view her as someone in need of protection. They coddle her.
And then here comes Soo-Won, telling her she's capable of making a difference.
That she did make a difference. He acknowledges her strength and believes in her with ease while people closer to her struggle to accept that she's useful.
