[serendipetite]

jimin’s growth from “people will think i’m strange if i call jungkook cute” to “i used to have an idea of what it meant to be a man but now i know i can just be me” ; and “guys don’t kiss” to “what the heck is men?!” ; and tearing up looking at an old photo of himself saying “you tried so hard....my heart breaks for you” just makes me want to wrap him in the softest blanket and keep him safe and tucked in my heart for always

#there's verrry few bts reactors i watch now #only two #but one of them has openly shared how much jimin has helped him come to terms with his own masculinity #and be a softer man and eschew from those toxic thoughts too #all because watching jimin just BE has inspired his own journey through that #and i just want to give jimin a hug #and tell him thank you #he helps so many people in so many ways #just by his existence alone #and i think back to what his dad said #how the sun has shown brighter every day since jimin came to be #and that is just so very true #i know we don't have the same journey #and i don't know his personal life #but his words of 'know that there is a person in korea in the city of seoul who understands you' just reigns so true #anyway i am having a million and one thoughts about him #and what he means to me #and idk where to put all this love #so i'm spilling it out here

Hi there! First thank you always for translating the Rebecca interviews they are really fun and interesting to read. Seeing some of your comments you made about the Korean Dannys views on romance/homosexuality I was curious. When I first read the novel which was a long time ago, my interpretation of Danny and Rebecca’s relationship was 50/50 maybe really lovers but could also just be some type of non-romantic attachment. After watching the Korean production I feel that there’s a stronger implication of them being lovers. Some Rebecca fandom friends that I know are on the skeptical side I guess about them being real lovers so this is a topic that interests me. I was curious do you think you would’ve still thought of Danny and Rebecca as lovers if it wasn’t for the Korean production/Ock Joohyun? Really wanted to know your thoughts about that! Actlly I want to think of them as lovers but like if asked to defend why I think they’re lovers I’m not sure I’d personally be able support my view properly with evidence or anything since I’m not the good at analysis type etc haha. I hope this makes sense? Thx

Tbh it's kind of hard to say I feel that way 100% with no bias but,,,

(lol under the read more bc i ended up rambling)

Actually, the way I got into Rebecca was I discovered joo hyuns performance > i read the wiki > i watched a subtitled version of the german performance > I watched the Korean production > then I read the book > then I translated the Korean script further and read interviews.

Joo Hyun's performance was only just her singing the Rebecca long reprise at the top of act two, it wasn't really a song that incredibly showcased her interpretation or feelings towards the dynamic between rebecca and danny. when I read the wiki I was already thinking danny and rebecca sounded gay as hell and even watching the albeit reserved german production i felt like the specific situation that danny was found it alluded to that lover dynamic. like im a lesbian LOL so I kind of immediately went hey theres another lesbian right there. When it came to how maxim talked about rebecca it only further cemented in my mind that rebecca was also a lesbian. so like even from the german production, i felt that rebecca and danny were lesbians and had something together. now whether that something was balanced is another story, but i deff in my heart knew that they were some kind of secret lovers.

i don;t think in my mind that i ever had any doubt that rebecca and danny had some kind of more than mistress and servant relationship, and i dont think that i ever doubted that it was ever one sided. idk i just felt it in my gut. But i also moved on from the german production quite quickly when i got a copy of the rebecca production. that initial feeling of theyre lesbians really bloomed into oh they really loved each other when i got to the korean production and joo hyunie was pulling out all the stops. like the way she was acting,,, there was this palpable sense of love, the kind of love that felt equal. i've also talked about this before in one of my review essays (on my writing blog) but i think the contrast of her age against the older german dannys did a lot of work to bring that love closer to "lovers" and a more balanced dynamic imo.

i remember talking to a german rebecca fan and they talked a lot about doing a lot of contextualising and rationalising, trying to bend the script into a way that danny and rebecca were something in a mutual sense. i remember being really confused about that. like they had to put a lot of mental energy into rationalising that they were "mutual lovers" whereas it felt innate to me that they were.

Re: the age contrast. When I finally got to reading the book as well, in my mind i thought danny and rebecca grew up together as children (the line where danny has been with rebecca since she was young). also please note that i'm asian so like cultural aspects of rebecca flew over my head at times, but when i read it thats what i thought that line meant. but i talked to a european rebecca friend of mine and they said danny is referred to as governess and usually theyd be at least like 20 so when danny says she was with rebecca since childhood she meant in an overseeing kind of way; child and carer relationship. me not knowing that cultural thing impacted the balance i saw in their relationship which is why its also interesting that a lot of the korean dannys felt the same way i felt.

i haven't read the korean translation of rebecca so i dont know how they translate that cultural aspect/line but joo hyun, shin young sook, jang eun ah and kim sun young as i have just discovered all thought that danny grew up with rebecca. that her mother was rebecca's nanny and because of their close proximity grew up together. even before reading the interviews where these dannys said that, i also thought that was the case. so maybe its a culture thing?

but because of that, the relationship felt balanced enough that i felt like it was mutual. compounded by the more emotive ways that joo hyunie was expressing just how much she loved rebecca, it felt like a no brainer to me that they loved each other exclusively. sure rebecca was out and about having sex, but it wasnt sex out of love, it felt like sex out of fun or a habitual need, it felt like it meant entirely nothing to her. ergo her "love" (the kind beyond just physical sex) was only for danny. ive always felt very certain of that.

i think your feeling of not being able to defend danny and rebecca mutual relationship is understandable. there's so much ambiguity in the original text that its difficult to say that this thing points directly to this, or lots of lines could mean different things to different people. i'm always the opinion of rebecca is a mirror and depending on what themes or ideas or messages that u pick up, it's really just a reflection of what u want to see most. now whether i agree with another person's image of rebecca through that mirror is an entirely differnt matter, but i can't help but feel that way with danny and rebecca. its like,,, all i can say is, have you looked at them?? dont they seem that way to you??

lol im sure if i put my head into it i could make an essay to "prove" that theyre in a mutual relationship, and i know theres plently of evidence that i could pick out, but the gut feeling has been there from the start!

#lmao not sure if this was entirely helpful to u at all since its really just a gut feeling #but ik that gut feeling isnt like a delusion either it exists i just dont have it in me to pick out concrete evidence rn #also i strongly feel this way mostly just to the korean production #i feel like the book wants to have a discussion more than just danny and rebecca if theyre mutual or not #i really like the ambiguity of rebecca the novel as a whole so im not really of the mind the try bending over backwards proving their #relationship in that either #i think it only features so prominently in the musical because of what themes they picked out of the book to create a musical narrative #if u asked me to watch the german productions and based on their performance if it was mutual or not i wouldnt be so quick to say yes it wa #mutual as i would with the korean production now that i have hindsight lmao #actually theres smth interesting about all these adaptions and productions and how that relates to that are they mutuall lovers question #that i would like to talk about but i think this is getting long as it is #generally speaking i do think theyre mutuall in love but for different iterations i think that degree shifts between mildly disagree to #110% strongly agree #illa answers #rebecca #rebecca das musical #rebecca korea

you ever watch an entire video essay and come out of it literally not knowing what the conclusion was meant to be, and find yourself yearning for like 2017 when it didnt feel like everyone and their nan were making video essays?

#kai rambles #im just #it was an hour long #i watched it for an hour #he contradicted himself every new chapter and literally nothing he said followed on from what he said before #there was a conclusion #no idea what it was #ahhhhhhhh #similarly the other say youtube recommended me the uh authoritarianism video by second thought #the videos about 23 minutes long #he doesnt mention nazi germany until minute 18 #he also just makes incomparable comparisons between the ussr and modern day america #and like hes very charitable to the fucking soviet union #he also claims that modern day chinese police havent killed anyone in years which like i get that theres a lot of anti china propaganda #in the us and its not as bad as its made out to be but its still an authoritarian dictatorship #like i get america bad but also other countries can also be bad?? #anyway the guy basically equates authoritarianism to socialism which o-fucking-kay then #youtube has been recommending me more leftist commentators recently and so many of them are just insanely ignorant americans #whose entire politics can be summed up as ''america bad'' and they get so caught up reminding you of that every thirty seconds that they #just come out with wild takes like north korea good actually or the war in ukraine was because america wouldn't stop aggressing russia #so yeah they shouldnt have invaded but it wasnt unwarranted and part of ukraine is ethnically russian anyway #like sir????? why are you repeating russian propaganda???? what youre saying it literally neo nazi propaganda what the fuck??? #i heard that one a week ago and its still in my fucking head like jesus fucking chridt

listen i think that bj is gay. but i also think that he continues to be incredibly close to peg his entire life and also maybe develops a bit of a complex once they separate that if anything at all goes wrong in her life, its somehow his fault because he left her

#like i think its a continuation of what he had in korea except mutated and pointed inward instead of the circumstances around him #its something he probably would have to work through. he obviously has his predjudices and feels an enormous responsibility for his family #ie the whole peg has to work business etc etc #its me talking #i have a lot of gay bj thoughts. even after korea i doubt self realization and coming out would be easy for him #as much as that kinda thing could be easy for anyone obviously but you know. you know #vanya watches mash

I forgot this about kdramas, but...

The pace is exhausting. Every episode is like a mini-movie. I have watched five episodes of Beyond Evil and they have cycled through two seasons worth of plotlines of a typical American drama/thriller.

And the intensity is on, like, twelve every single minute of the episode.

#amanda watches kdramas #like i'm here for it #but also take pity on me i'm not used to this pacing #it is intense #though i will say this #i have yet to watch a drama or a movie out of south korea where the actors weren't at the top of their game #just some of the best acting i've ever seen in my life
