post-canon every single member of kimcom likes to spoon kim dokja. nonsexually. it's just nice to know he's alive and there and feel his chest rise and fall within the circle of your arms. try to do something stupid now asshole. oh you can't? because of my octopus impression? that's right. take THAT. however i will make one exception for yoo joonghyuk. yoo joonghyuk may want to spoon kim dokja, but he never gets the opportunity because kim dokja wants to spoon him more. so the sleeping arrangement is yjh>kdj>all other kimcom members on rotation. actually i take it back there's one other household member who doesn't want to spoon kim dokja and it's yoo mia, but that's fine because she's one of the only people (besides kim dokja) who yoo joonghyuk would be comfortable spooning. so there's probably times when it's yma>yjh>kdj>today's lucky winner.

incidentally this is also the order for the doing-each-other's-hair train because while yoo mia WILL allow other people to do her hair, no one wants to because she always compares their skills unfavorably to her brother's. and she's really articulate about it. just utterly scathing. one time her criticism was so devastatingly, accurately incisive that she made lee hyunsung cry. yoo joonghyuk spooned him that night to cheer him up and yoo mia was so mad about it that lee hyunsung had to leave the country for a couple weeks. the household learned a valuable lesson that day. it's best not to disturb the delicate spooning/hair-train balance.

#i love how often the webtoon shows people giving their injured teammates piggyback rides #like yeah that is way easier than a bridal carry. good weight distribution #but also it means when they go into Spoon Mode they're like. hey this is familiar! #anyway kimcom totally has a schedule for who gets to spoon kim dokja because otherwise shin yoosung and lee gilyoung would #resort to murder #also han sooyoung was hogging him and pretending it didn't count because it was her clones doing it #(classic excuse. it wasn't me. it was my clone! my clone stole the cookie from the cookie jar! my clone ate my homework!!) #kim dokja figures out that there's a schedule but he thinks it's like. a chore for them instead of something they're fighting over #because he is an idiot 😎👍 #the other sleeping arrangement is kim dokja lying on his back and one person on each side cuddling up to him #that's the default when yjh isn't around for kdj to spoon. which doesn't happen very often #if anyone asks no i did NOT start crying the last time someone spooned me because i was incredibly touch-starved. utter lies #totally untrue and also completely irrelevant to the matter at hand #orv #omniscient reader's viewpoint #my posts #f #kdj #orv spoilers #i guess?? #kimcom in the situation room trying to strategize how to turn him back into a squid so they can all have a tentacle to cuddle #kim dokja only has two hands and like ten people who want to clutch him to their bosom...but what if he had MORE than two hands? #he has before and he can again. as god is their witness

"The Knight Of Dawn being a near exact copy of Silver is lazy!" You absolutely think the curtains are just blue, don't you?

#Y'all are free to call me crazy BUT #If Yana went out of her way to design KoD to be an exact replica of his son when that isn't the case for ANY OTHER Parent-Child Pair #Don't you think that was intentional? #If they are the only odd pair out don't you think that means something? Or are the curtain's just blue to you? #TKoD is an antithesis to Silver. He is everything Silver could/would have been had he not been put to sleep and adopted by Lilia #THAT is why TKoD is Silver but with longer blonder hair. Because he's supposed to be an undesirable outcome for Silver #A dog forever chained to his master's side without the courage to act on his own sense of what's right and wrong #Only when he isn't under the eyes of those he owes his life to and hold that above his head the does TKoD do what he knows is right #He lets Lilia escape with Malleus during his fight with Meleanor. In the middle of battle he gives the innocence a chance for life #And he's only allowed to do so because Henrik isn't there to interfere. Because for once he can act on his own morals and help someone #So when we see the Knight of Dawn next to Silver we aren't supposed to see a father and his son #We're supposed to see what Silver COULD have been had he not been raised by Lilia. Had he been raised to be a tool instead of an individual #A right his biological father was never able to obtain for himself #I guess this is the hill I'm dying on now.

Want to know how I know Frozen 3 will most definitely not be great? The announcement of a Frozen 4.

The problem with Frozen 2 was that it had many, many ideas and they attempted, and utterly failed, to condense them into one singular linear story; the problem with Frozen 3 is that they "have so many ideas" that they realized they can't realistically condense them into one singular movie so their solution to "not repeat a frozen 2" is to instead push for ALL ideas to move forward which in turn has given them an overly lengthy cut.

Watching Frozen 1 in cinemas for the first time in a long while really reminded me how Frozen worked because it was very very simple and most of its heart was in the two "main" characters and how they navigated through life after a horrendous situation they were put through.

The heart of Frozen is not all the mystical and mythical elements that they can't get enough of attempting to push, hell, the most compelling part of Elsa as a character was just how raw and human she felt DESPITE having otherworldly powers.

I truly don't know which road they're taking the franchise through, but if the podcast and the books that have come out are anything to go by, it's straying way too far from what made the first movie compelling and enjoyable: its freaking simplicity.

#Frozen #Frozen 2 #Frozen 4 #Sorry rewatching frozen in cinemas was an otherworldly experience I had never enjoyed a film as much as I did Frozen in recent times #AND THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO ONLY BECAME OBSESSED WITH FROZEN AFTER FROZEN 2 #and although I LOVE Elsa's journey in Frozen 2 it really really REALLY is a terrible sequel when you take into account just how good F1 is #lmao I feel like I sound like a bringelsahomer nooooo I just truly feel like focusing on her powers and only the mystical elements is borin #because SHE is complex and Anna is JUST AS COMPLEX but she gets overlooked bc she doesn't have magical manifestations of her turmoil #Just do the mf Ice Queen you can do it now you literally have the characters there already just ADAPT the tale and give us drama mom i beg #Just idk take notes from the book of Arcane and work something around that idk people love seeing sisters fighting #Y'all fucked over the colonizer talk and fucked over the Northuldra part like just stick to something the average girlie can relate to

how do i do it though. how do i let go of the bitterness and the hardness when they kept me "okay" for so long? does it come when i finally leave? can it ever?

#babes i actually relate to the frigid angry woman more than im comfortable with but this time there's no prince coming to save her and idk #i was never beautiful but i was and am angry and capable and that's served me well but being angry is exhausting #it's a birthright i can't give to a younger sibling. it doesn't transfer. #i dont inspire devotion. there's no version of this that ends with me waltzing with a true love. #im not the type you launch a thousand ships for. #so what's left? #who am i when i have no one? when ive spent my life making *me* less to make others more? when im nothing but a useful piece of furniture. #i know God loves me! i love Him! but it's not the same. i want *people* to love me. i want to be someone that theyd fight for. #im feeling that 'women have minds and hearts but im so lonely' scene from little women 2019 so much right now. #except im not jo. my family loves me but theyd never do for me what jo's would do for her. theyre also all focused on surviving. #i feel like a military ration. there to be consumed but cast aside the moment something more palatable comes around. #how do i become consumed with joy? how do i let go of the cynicism? its all thats kept me safe! but its choking me too. #its like tony stark in iron man 2. the thing thats kept me alive this far is killing me. i need to find an alternative but its looking like #ill have to synthesize a new element to make it happen and that freaks me out. #ive always been derivative. never an individual. how do i become a trailblazer when my job was always to hold the hand of the one blazing #the trail? how do i become myself happy and free? #because i WANT to be more #i WANT to be more than anger and coldness and a useful idiot. i WANT to be me and be so so happy #but i dont know how to get there #and if someone suggests therapy im shooting you. i dont want to listen to one more person pretend to care about me and tell me #all the things i need to change and spend even longer not learning how to think for myself #i want to be more than this. but i also cant stand the thought of taking up any more space than i do #anyway. #anyone who's read all this thank you and i promise im fine im just in my feelings today lol #im going to work out and get some happy brain chemicals flowing and then ill take a shower and itll all be good. #please dont worry about me! im just having A Moment TM #lilac rambles

kinda cool how in season one eleven escapes the lab thinking she's the monster & in season four eleven escapes the lab again knowing she never was and that none of what happened was ever her fault.

and how in season two she goes on a journey to figure out part of her past and is told by another of the lab's victims that she needs to find strength in pain and anger & in season four we saw that it was her mother calling her by her real, human name and telling her that she loved her that gave her enough strength to overpower evil and banish it from their dimension, not the hurt and rage she felt at her being taken away. and that again, she was able to perform a miracle and bring her friend back to life by thinking of the love she showed her and the way she had always treated her like she was a human being.

she and her story are just really cool, methinks.

#being selflessly loved and treated like a human being what gives characters who have never once been shown that before without having to #give something back in return the strength to fight back and reach their final form is something that can be so personal #like. why am i crying in the club right now #terry called her JANE not a number but a NAME a real HUMAN name and told her she loved her! #and max treated her like a PERSON like a GIRL not a weapon or a superhero and she never asked eleven to do anything for her #she just loved her and treated her like a normal girl like a normal friend #and it was THAT which gave eleven the most strength #eleven who has always had to give in order to get eleven who gets punished whenever she steps outside of the box people put her in #eleven who didn't know that people could LIKE things until season three eleven who had never felt like a girl until season 3 #eleven who finds her strength to release herself from henry's vines when she looks at max and remembers tht she has to fight #for her the same way that max fought for her then bc she loves her she loves her friend so much #eleven who looks at a man who has never been treated like a person and in her last moments thinks of her mother and the fact that #she was loved and she was given a name that she is still a person despite everything that there is still kindness in this world and #THAT is what gives her the strength to save herself and literally unmake him and tear a fucking hole in time and space like. #are you kidding me bro how do u expect me to realize all of that and NOT cry like 😭 #the power of love... and being treated like a human being... to be seen and understood... there is always a light to be found in the dark #i'm . someone sedate me please for the love of god SEDATE ME PUT ME DOWN SHOOT A HORSE TRANQUILIZER AT MY ASS PELA SE

alrighty, so we've now got muse lists based on genre/fandom!! so dorverold muses, slice of life muses, and kny muses! chiyo will still be the main muse of the blog, but i think this set-up will be a little easier to navigate based on interest. at this point, i'm just not going to offer anyone whose muse is near non-existent ( even as a " test muse " ), so you can safely request anyone and everyone i've currently listed <3 i'll edit the pinned post and blog navi soon, and pls ignore the fact that i haven't written chiyo's kny verse description asdfg it's coming!!

#her default kny verse will be her as a kakushi but i wouldn't be opposed to giving her a slayer verse at some point #it just might be something i'd plot with someone? bc i think outside forces would have to force her hand #being directly responsible for someone's life based on physical capability and skill is much scarier than being part of the clean up #and the medical care that follows the fight #like yeah people can die in chiyo's care but at least that's more so bc their wounds were really bad vs chiyo being weak #honestly i could ramble a lot about this but i'll stop myself... i guess... but like plot with me some day <3 asdfg #get ready to ramble | ooc #i really gotta go to bed soon weeps

with the rising fascism in the world, im not gonna trust any new medias with stories that make the villain an agent of chaos & terror while the hero/es fight to preserve the status quo.

#after 9/11 there was a rise in childrens media where this was exactly the case #a foreign threat to peace that must be eliminated #and sure there were a lot of good stories made with that format. doesnt erase the true intent being the message. #and now theres come a rise of stories with empires and dictators as villains who are destroyed by rebellions #a good example of the stories about preserving the status quo are literally all of the marvel movies #thats why ragnarok was breath of fresh air. they didnt preserve the legacy of someone who destroyed thousands in the name of 'keeping peace #odin's legacy was burned to ash and thor put his people first. #another example is HP. even the newest stories set hundreds of years in the past still aim to preserve the status quo #and make the oppressed trying to fight back into villains by giving them really good points and then making them into murderers #a good example of a story that does the OPPOSITE is the owl house. god that show was so perfect. #just the subtle touch of luz's magic not having a white core like belos's in the end was so perfect. #making her final most powerful form look like a stereotypical villain with the black eyes and clothes and her dark magic?? #her palisman being able to shapeshift into stereotypically feared animals like spiders scorpions snakes and bats?? #the fact that she looked like a demon while belos was pretending to be carrying out the will of his god? that he was on some holy crusade? #belos believing himself to be the hero of the story even to the bitter end because he couldnt imagine that people he considers subhuman #had any right to life. that they werent just pests to be crushed in the name of his god. and in the end he was the one crushed like a bug. #so good. so good. so good. dana terrace i am kissing you #i like the owl house more than i like gravity falls and BOY is that saying something #krav talks

i ADORE yoyr skills in making characters with wildly complex personalities. how do you do it this well

THANK YOU!!! I HAVE NO FECKIN IDEA!!!

i usually just start with a concept (heehoo iterator who doesn't care for their puppet and the puppet has a blankie thrown over it and there's creepy peepy teefs under there) and then built off from that (the character now leads death itself to its family no matter how much it hurts and tears away at it because it recognizes this is ultimately the best thing that can happen to them and it Only wishes for the best for its family cuz it loves them a lot. no matter what it will take, its family will be alright.)- OH a VERY important thing for character making is interconnecting them with other characters!!! that is literally the Most important thing Ever imo. and then details. details are what build the complexity!

the more interactions with other characters and the world you put the peepo thru, the more shaped they will be, i suppose? while still keeping a core idea very clear

also taking inspirations from other characters and then remixing n combining these different inspirations is a valid thing to do. one of Notos' big inspirations is, for example, Wednesday Addams from that netflix show! sometimes the inspiration comes from a certain pack of feelings i get from a song/situation, like for example Zephyr and Johanka by Brotosauři/Joan of Arc in general. Johanka and where i first heard it, the way i first sung it, was already full of so many things that simply applying it to Zephyr gave her a complex personality

and as always -claps- don't forget to give your character low points and weaknesses. but ALSO don't forget to give them their shining moments and strengths

#Spot says stuff #i legit dont know how to explain my process- a lot of it legit comes from the feelings songs can make one feel #when i first sang Johanka....... it was also when i first heard it. my dad was playing it going for a solo cuz nobody else really knew the- #-song then. his voice carried a mix of softness and a fight. he sung the chorus once and on the second one i joined; feeling inspired by- #-the fight of it. the revolution the determination the... melancholic agony of Joans unjustly death #then i read her wikipage. n i read- at the end there when shes about to be burned she asked for a cross. she was accused of *so* much. #of being the messanger of the devil. of being so vile- and shes surrounded by these people that are supposed to think of her like that. #why ever would someone grant her last wish? give her a cross? let her love the God and angels that she says guided her? #a soldier took two sticks and tied them. he gave the makeshift cross to her. she smiled and gave it a kiss and hugged it close to her chest #just before being *burned alive* shes given such.. humane kindness from someone who should be her *enemy* #its so tiny. so small so remshackle so broken. its so little the eyes of royals but oh the world that it means to someone who Understands- #-the love it took to do something like that. such a little gesture... made out of humane kidness. so she doesnt have to be alone. #the Feelings of that. that means so much to me as a person and i want to put that into Zephyr out of love and appreciation

after halsin's line in response to discussing the slayer form... i am so so deeply sure he's the catalyst for lil's redemption arc

#* ooc. #it's... how to describe this. you know when something is deeply bad for you but feels good in the moment #the shaky adrenaline sort of false chemical happiness #that's what the urge gives her and it's so hollow #she doesn't even know why she's grasping for such power. she doesn't remember why. #it's deeper than the tadpoles but she doesn't understand it and maybe she needs to just let it go #stop clinging to the tenets of the self she was... become someone new. #let go. and he can help her to do that. #she's been stringing him along; pretending to care about the things he did so he'd fight alongside her #but now.........

An 18 year old is so mad at me on TikTok and I feel so bad for her like she’s so angry and traumatized 😭

#I’ve been replying to her harassment with kind messages because someone needs to say something nice to this girl for real like it’s dark #she told me she was sexually assaulted because teens love to give away dangerous info while trying to fight people online #btw she’s mad at me because of a comment I made on someone else’s post saying I believed that #Julia fox didn’t understand the mascara meme because it’s incomprehensible to non teens which is true

about the pro-allison thingy...

I am one of the firm advocates and believers that Allison Reynolds would either go pro or do both (fashion and exy) but recently, I’ve been thinking about her ec and I think I’m beginning to see where Nora came from.

The short summary of the argument for the point of Allison choosing to go pro is this: Allison gave up her millions of dollars of inheritance for exy, got disowned for persisting to play it, and pretty much chose a bastard sport over her privileges. She fought tooth and nail to be a part of the court and despite her looks, she brawled with the best and the best. Therefore, it’s only natural that she pursues it in the future, right? Right??

That’s what I thought too, but then that leaves a new question unanswered: why is it given that she pursues it in the future? Does that mean an effort of fighting for something you love is futile unless it’s the end goal? Does your passion for something need to be your destination for it to be a worthy dream to fight for?

And I will be completely contradicting my prior Allison-centric posts but no, I think the answer is no. Because the truth is, Allison didn’t fought for exy. Exy was the thing that made her fight back from her controlling and overbearing parents, it was the thing that made her feel alive and free. And while she chose to play collegiate exy over her millions of inheritance, it isn’t something she necessarily see pursuing in the future and I think that’s okay. It doesn’t make her fight for it worthless and it wouldn’t render that choice a downgrade to her character because the fight wasn’t about exy at all. It’s about what she wants and exy just so happened to be the catalyst at that moment. She didn’t gave everything up for a sport she ended up not pursuing full-time— she gave it all up for control of her life. And if what pushes her to do so is not a dream she plans to pursue full-time but a mere hobby that she could come back to from time to time, something that gives her a short thrill but not the thing that she can see herself doing for the rest of her life, the stop point or journey along the way but not necessarily the destination— is that really so wrong?

#i had a point and i'm pretty sure i can articulate it better in my native language but u'r stuck with this and maybe that's okay too <33 #all for the game #aftg #the foxhole court #the raven king #the king's men #nora sakavic #allison reynolds #i guess what i'm trying to say is that is it really a waste to fight for something if it's not the thing u'll pursue in the future? #like can't we just fight for what we want now regardless if it's a forever thing?? #does it need to be a lifetime pursuit or can't we just fight for what we want without catering to anyone's expectations?? #idk i'm just saying can't we be passionate just for the sake that we love it #i swear i could articulate this better in my native language y'all english is hard #give it a few days i'm sure someone in the fandom could articulate this better than i ever could lol #i still like the idea of allison going pro but i don't mind now if she pursues being in fashion full time #like good for her whatever makes her happy u go girlboss #also in another edition of me reaching cuz i'm pretty sure nora didn't thought this deep abt it but if she ever did honestly respecc bruhh #also supplemental: in the chance that what she is fighting for is actually exy it still doesn't mean she has to go all the way #your passion is still valid regardless if you go full-time or nadda #this took a peachy preachy turn lmao i'm leaving if u'r reading this hi ily <33 #bye #raeraegoaway

torn between appreciating the "omg ahsoka's so badass" gifsets and the usual rage about inquisitor decay

#miss delilah dawson not to be dramatic but my entire soul rests on your book providing SOMETHING showing an inquisitor winning a fight #I'm giving battle scars a pass since we know fifth cal cere and merrin all have to live so that one is probably ending in a draw #BUT rise of the red blade is flexible #we have an inquisitor protagonist #please. for the love of god. let her kill someone. #I loved owk! truly makes me go feral every time I think of reva! still contributed to inquisitor decay #(like. to an extent. they did kill that one jedi in the beginning whose name I can never recall) #but it was three on one offscreen #star dorks #inquisitorius tag #hi I'm procrastinating on doing something so you get: me not shutting the hell up this morning

when i'm feeling extremely angsty i like to think about that theory that Mike was supposed to be one of Vecna's victims/was cursed until he left to Cali where Vecna couldn't reach him and it basically saved his life

and what would happen if he never left, if he stayed in Hawkins and was the first/one of the first victims

how would it happen? would people already know about the curse and try to help him? would it be before they found out about it and there was no help left? even if they knew would it actually save him? what if they found out how to help him but one would know his favorite song so they wouldn't be able to save him anyways. where would it happen? would someone be present or he would be all alone and not found until later on? how would everyone react? how would they let the Byers know what happened? how would they tell Will and El about it? their reactions?

so many questions so many scenarios floating around in my head

but hey that's just my thoughts

#byler #mike wheeler #someone calling will and el like hey so your bf is ded sorry about that but yeah we need you here hope this won't cause too much damage tho #mike getting vecna’d #just thinking about him getting vecna'd before everyone even knew about the curse #him being all alone and not knowing what is happening and he's so fucking terrified #but there is no way of saving him #what if someone found him later when he's already gone #who would it be #what if it would happen at home like in the basement or something and nancy found him hours later #or she would found him while he's in trance and she's screaming his name and trying to figure out what is going on but can't help him #and he just dies right in front of her or someone else from the party or or #sorry about the trauma nance i love you tho #mike fighting and trying to figure out what is happening but vecna's visions making him just #give up #yeah just thinking nothing serious
