the way kdj can't stop showing love through self-sacrifice in a way that unintentionally hurts the ppl he loves...
and how it's probably bc that's how his mother showed love. her great act of self-sacrifice in going to prison to save her son, traumatized and hurt him like how his acts of self-sacrifice to save kimcom traumatize and hurt them.
it's the only and best way he learnt how to love... something something we repeat our childhood traumas in our adult relationships

LOL look who is in a hell of her own making again.
I watched The Guest while we were on holiday in South Korea and it was a REVELATION. I could not believe that the drama we watched because "it looks like a fun gothic horror thing and Kim Jaewook plays a hot priest" was capable of bodying me like MCTNA did the first time (and every time since)
But rewatching to incept @judiwench and @moodybluestocking has cemented it deepdeepdeep in my DNA.
I am SO VERY SCREWED.
For this man, who is so terrible at people and so haunted and so hot and so every lifelong Catholic kink I have ever had in a long boi body. Trying his best at all times.
Choi Yoon, who is so in love with a boatload of disregulated impulses in the body of a PTSD-addled, cute-aggression-inspiring, chaos gremlin of a man.
THEM. I AM FERAL OVER THEM.
For Gilyoung: precious, beautiful, brave, strong, steadfast and vulnerable Gilyoung who loves her stupid boys so much and who is their rock and who deserves THE WORLD. When she cries it's like being stabbed very slowly and painfully.
THEM. THE FOUND FAMILY/QUEER PLATONIC (ISH) OT3 OF MY DREAMS.
I love them alllllllll.
BUT THAT ONE THERE? THAT ONE? YEAH. He is a massive, massive liferuining problem for me.
Yoon Hwapyung. GOD. That beautiful, eviscerating, self-blaming, trauma magnet, brat of a man. He makes my entire chest ache and makes me want to a) protect him, b) whump him to the East Sea and back.
And boy does he get whumped (as do they all, bless this galaxy brain show)
I cannot comprehend just how Kim Dongwook manages to hold two polar opposite characters in his face at THE SAME TIME?! Those tears while (redacted) is (redacted) are my doom.
I just. I can't. The SEVENTEEN MINUTE sequence culminating in (redacted) in episode sixteen is just the most exquisitely beautiful things I have ever seen and words will never do it justice.
And then. THEN. Well, if you've seen it you know and if you haven't I will not spoil too much but. UGH. Incredible. So many tears. SO SO MANY.
SO SO MANY.
Anyway I love them so so much and already have multiple fics and vids in the works and no I have not forgotten about MCTNA but The Guest has lodged itself in there next to my lovely Joseon himbos and isn't going away anytime soon.

Oh I knew with so much dread in my heart that people would immediately negatively compare the ending of Steven Universe to the ending of The Owl House regardless of the narrative reasons for what happened to the villains and regardless of the allegory being told and regardless of the fact that the Point both shows were trying to make was to love and accept yourself.
But I guess there’s people that aren’t willing to give the media they consume more than a surface level read because it’s easier to join an echo chamber. And I guess we all can’t just enjoy what an amazing show The Owl House was because there’s people that think it’s fun to assume Dana Terrace wrote this ending specifically to spite Rebecca Sugar and she’d want to drag the person that crawled so that she could have Lumity run.

thinking about yoo joonghyuk and how he is not meant to give up, not ever. but then! what do you do when the person who created you strolls in and says actually, this one time you'll have to give up. not right away, sure, but you will have to give up.
1863rd round the author comes in and talks to him directly and makes him the husk of a man we find a few days away from The End, the one whose only desire seems to be to just get there (the last step of han sooyoung's plan) and die.
she is the only one who can make him give up like that, if not for the single point of failure she wove into his very being — the very reason he cannot ever truly give up
kim dokja shows up, changes the trajectories of both of their lives for fucking ever, and in general fucks everything up so spectacularly yoo joonghyuk can do nothing else but split himself in two
because he wants to live.

It was so weird when i was watching you/tu/bers and also tumblr react to the final totk trailer and either like. forgetting who tulin was and just calling him a random rito (mostly the yt/br). or remembering him and being like "oh thats Teba's son! WAIT WHERES TEBA IS HE OKAY SHOW ME TEBA" and like. im worried for him too but i think, like yunobo, hes probably trying to fight back against the monsters and natural(?) disasters near their settlements (malice over death mountain and big tornado over hebra). Like I think during gameplay we'll probably travel to goron city/rito village and help plan where goron/rito fighters will be stationed fighting to keep the monsters at bay. and join them with the whole 'fight battles with all these people!' mechanic. but in summary i think both yunobo and teba are fine (obviously, as shown by the glimpse of the boulder breaker in that one clip). can we please acknowledge how cool tulin looks and how he's grown up instead of pushing him to the side in favor of teba!!!
