On A Soldier Falling In Love and isn't god so cruel to put them so close together and yet so far? they are parallel lines; destined to take each step together and yet never intersect
there is something so attractive? Is that even the right word just weirdly charming about jax but like he's literally a fucking purple bunny with yellow eyes and teeth I never got the hype until I watched the show, he *is* charming??????? it's most likely the voice that carries it all shout-out to the VA fr🙏 but still his whole character is just so weirdly charismatic and that is so fuuuuucking??????
I don’t get being mad that we got m/m kiss before f/f because that just means the f/f ship is the main point! The title track! The climatic moment that really matters! The toxic yaoi is just the side plot, and it’s honestly cool the f/f pairing isn’t regulated to a side pairing like a lot of them can be, instead it’s the one that gets most of the slowburn and development.
GOD NOOOOOOOO THE HORRORS ARE STARTING (mitsuba's backstory) AAAAGGGGHH I CANT I CANT RN BRO PLEASE
been rereading the tbhk manga (finally) and I finally got to
~ you're my sea you're my sunshine the star the moooon ~
Hyuna's revenge is threefold.
First — she knows her death would hurt Luka more than his own ever would.
Luka, who does not value his own body at all, smiles at the fact that he won even though he is thoroughly injured.
— Round 5 Commentary, Artbook
Heperu has long since trained Luka's fear of death out of him. It's implied that he's been put through the sensation of dying again and again until he overcame it.
At this point he isn't even phased by a gun to his head, only acknowledging it for a second in Wiege when it physically stops his forward step, before turning away uncaringly to look at what's more important to him — Hyuna.
Second — her final request asks him, requires him, to live.
Luka, live with love.
Embrace the pain, the frailty and the moments so unbearably shameful.
Forgive yourself…
Again and again, endlessly.
Because everything… begins from there.
Luka no longer has an easy out. Because oh death would be the easy way out. Living is the true challenge.
And to do what Hyuna asked of him?
Despite being subjected to the cruelest, harshest training known in Alnst since childhood, this will be the hardest thing he'll ever do.
By leaving him with those words, Hyuna has left him with no choice but to honor her final request, continue to live on without her, and be haunted by the gaping hole of her absence thereon.
This is even more harsh when you consider Hyuna has been Luka's coping mechanism this entire time, and she mercilessly stripped that away from him. Which leads us to:
Third — with her death, Hyuna is forcing Luka to confront everything he's been avoiding.
Luka was only able to walk away so easily (figuratively and literally) because he was escaping reality through Hyuna.
I resented you so.
I had to keep moving forward in every moment...
In comparison Hyuna was never able to accept what happened. She had to grapple with her pain, her loss, and her inability to come to terms with it in her every waking moment.
By dying right in front of him, Hyuna is forcing his eyes open to the reality he wasn't facing when he made her his entire world.
Luka made her his chosen savior, but what can he do when she's the one dying?
He now has to confront not only her death, but Hyun Woo's, and everyone else's. All of the horrific deaths he had witnessed, all of the ones he had a hand in.
But Hyuna also left him the answer within her last words — words that serve as both his condemnation and his salvation.
They're one last puzzle to solve, and if he manages to find his answer, Luka will be able to save himself.
She left him the answer, the words he needs, because even to the very end Hyuna cares deeply for that small child.
Hyuna truly chose to carry out her revenge in the cruelest... and gentlest way possible.
This time...
I'll be your new puzzle to solve.
So don't rush, and take your time to figure it out.
I don't know how long it'll take...
But I hope you find your own answer.
Despite the first impression, Berenice seems to be the most pragmatic and rational of the misfits. Although she looks frolicsome, fearless, mischievous even, she also dislikes challenges, prefers not to get into big troubles and is used to choosing the line of least resistance. She seems to me like a hedonist who doesn't mind having some fun, but doesn't want to sacrifice her comfort and take unnecessary risks.
In the haunted mansion she suggested they all sit in the bushes instead of taking a losing fight.
When Montresor and Will attack, she tries to escape and leave Lenore alone, and the only one who prevents her from doing so is Eulalie. I don't really blame Berenice for this situation, because she only met Lenore yesterday, but damn it, Bee actually was ready to throw her to Monty (but not ready to leave Eulalie. I know what you are)
In the hideout she is the only one who vehemently opposes Lenore's plan to escape, and to be honest, her words make some sense.
She also changes her mind very quickly in the forbidden wing scene. Although Berenice previously seemed excited about the idea of breaking some rules, she agrees with Morella that this place is pretty creepy and is ready to back down. And again it is Eulalie who made her to stay.
Berenice seems to quickly light up with any idea and just as quickly fades away at the slightest difficulty. Although she doesn't like unnecessary obstacles, she also lacks the determination to stand by her opinion to the end: in all the scenes I've mentioned, she eventually gives up. She grumbles, but follows Eulalie`s dowsing rods; she emphasizes that she doesn't like the idea of escape, and still swears a blood oath. It seems that her habit of choosing the easiest path also makes her poorly predisposed to long–term conflict: in the end, agreeing with the majority is also the line of least resistance.
I think this frame and this line sums up Berenice's approach to life quite well.
She is less competitive than Lenore, less sacrificial than Morella, less snide than Duke, but more rational than Eulalie and more active than Pluto. To be honest, I'm glad that she ended up in the same group as Lenore and Morella in the last episodes, because Berenice will definitely be able to stop them from sacrificing their lives for each other in the most noble but stupid way.
nonchalant playful will my beloved
also, the fact that we have at least two scenes where Will addresses an inanimate object with exactly the same line makes the gears turn quickly in my head. He is an inanimate object himself 😭 pretty soulless puppet 😭😭😭
I'm writing a fic and I've done some surface level research on the stuff so I figured I'd ask here too for people on the acespec (is that what's it called??) (—specifically for people in qprs)
how did you like realize you didn't actually want a romantic relationship but a qpr one?? how did ygs sort your feelings out? (and how did you 'confess' that to the other person or is it like??)
I hope I'm not being disrespectful! thank you!!!!!!:33
I hate this day so much can't I go one day without hating my whole entire existence and life I hate it I hate it all
