The thing I Absolutely Despise is this internet hive mind mentality. This is more of a TikTok issue but I’m gonna rant about it here. And this is specifically towards media like shows/movies/etc.

What I mean is: Media is very popular, good things are said about it/is the popular opinion, popularity dies down, someone comes crawling out of the woodwork to say “it wasn’t good in the first place” and like Clockwork the rest of the hive mind internet will switch up and start saying negative shit about it because that’s the “popular” opinion now.

I’ve seen it with the Percy Jackson Show, Arcane, Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, TLOU (yes there’s valid criticisms but mostly it’s this switching up thing), and recently K-pop Demon Hunters.

And Before you give me “bean soup” comments, if your opinion from the get go has been “I don’t like it. It’s not my thing” that’s Perfectly valid to me. Not everything is for everyone, that’s the way life is. What Isn’t valid to me is this back and forth of “I like this because that’s what everyone else is saying oh wait everyone else hates it so I must hate it to” or “I have to hate it to seem special, different and quirky” (you’re not special you’re just annoying)

Like can yall have a Single opinion to yourselves or will you always just bow down to whoever’s most popular opinion is currently relevant?

It’s stupid and I’m So over it.

LAMP—>Meljayvik—>Shashannarcy—>Polytrix

I don’t make the rules. I just enforce them.

[chronicsyd]

now Granted I don't know a Lot about League lore, however, I did look up the basics while Arcane was going on because they mentioned that the spinoffs were going to dabble in other areas like Noxus/Demacia/etc.

and All I have to say is if Caitlyn and Piltover is enough to have y'all throwing a bitch fit you might as well drop out now because it's pretty clear to me that Some of you don't have the skin to take what the Rest of the canon has in store.

(as in Shurima has Cannibals levels of "you gotta get over yourselves" type of shit)

[chronicsyd]

So I’ve been rewatching She-ra and while I said Catra and Caitlyn have nothing in common but I’d like to retract that because the two do have Something in common:

The two of them having an Absurd amount of costume changes throughout the series. I think those two were the animators favorites.

Question:

If there’s an au where Rumi becomes an evil demon could we add her to The Bad End Friends?

[chronicsyd]

Ok now that That Arcane rant is over, back to KPDH.

So, I already mentioned that Gwi-ma line being “misunderstood” by people. However I want to talk about the line I think is Actually being misunderstood by people.

That being Rumi’s line of “if this is the Honmoon I’m supposed to protect, I’m glad to see it destroyed.”

I’ve seen So many people be like “oh she’s entering her villain era” or “her demon side wants to take over and destroy it”

Guys. No.

The Point of the line is that Rumi doesn’t feel represented by THIS Honmoon. This Honmoon that’s supposed to be protected by Rumi hiding her true self and her feelings. Those feelings being what’s causing it to fall apart in the first place. Because that’s the kind of mentality that Celine ingrained in her (+Mira and Zoey) “Your fault and fears must never be seen”.

The Reason a new one needs to be made is because it needs to have Rumi, Mira and Zoey’s true feelings about one another to be out in the open. No more hiding behind lies and secrets, having them stop burying their faults and fears. It’s why this Honmoon is different than before.

Now, another thing I wanted to talk about is I Don’t think that Rumi is Gwi-ma’s daughter. The dudes a literal fire pit and the only one that’s been trapped by the Honmoon since its creation. The only reason he escaped is because the whole thing fell apart by the end of the film.

Now, could there be “demon royalty” that’s related to Gwi-ma in some way? Possibly? We haven’t really gotten the low down on “demon species” besides demons like Jelly being water demons and I don’t think Rumi’s That powerful Just because she’s mixed with being a hunter, clearly she’s also got something going on with her demon side that we don’t know about. Now it seems that these are questions that could be possibly answered in a sequel, having Rumi find out more about her heritage because besides her mother being a hunter we don’t really know much about her, and her fathers a complete mystery to us.

I’ve also seen people want a prequel that answers more of these questions and to see how Rumi’s parents got together but I’m not sure if that’s a possibility, it’s really just a wait and see what their plan is AND if Netflix is willing to green light anything (which they Should considering that this film is on track to be their most watched animated film ever)

Not to mention that I’ve also seen a lot of “they didn’t give the Saja boys characterization” and I fear that was kinda the point of them. They were Just supposed to be an attractive cookie cutter boy band that gets popular, aside from Jinu but he’s supposed to be a foil for Rumi so it makes sense that he has proper characterization. The others aren’t meant to be that for Mira or Zoey, it’s just supposed to be attractive demons for them to fawn over. (Also I think it was supposed to be about stereotypes on K-pop idols, but I don’t pay attention to K-pop so that’s just a hunch I have)

(Last thing, I’ve heard rumors that Golden could be considered for an academy award and as excited as I am for that, we do gotta keep in mind that if it happens it’s going up against Wicked Pt. 2 which already confirmed they’re giving Cynthia an original song so I think it’s a losing battle…)

(Now you could be thinking to yourself “well duh that was obvious” to the points I've brought up, but I’ve seen So many posts to the contrary that I’m thinking the media illiteracy problem has followed Those Arcane fans that came over to this film which.. oh boy… we’re gonna talk more about That later…)

[chronicsyd]

I just realized I think I May have a thing for girls in turtlenecks...

[chronicsyd]

i’m broke so i can’t commission anyone to draw this but i have a vision if someone would like to create it

IN THE ORDER OF THE PHOTO

[chronicsyd]

I see that my accomplishments on tumblr in 2025 is being added to a "Caitlyn defenders to block" list.

and ykw, if that's what it takes to Finally get rid of Jinx glazers with "media analysis" on par with that of lily orchard then I take this as an Absolute win :)

[chronicsyd]

Also, I don’t get how people are saying Gwi-ma’s line to Jinu at the beginning “In 400 years you haven’t done anything that didn’t serve yourself.” Is being “misunderstood by people”.

It’s supposed to set up the fabricated “backstory” that he gives to Rumi, which connects to Gwi-ma telling him, “If you really believed her. If you really thought you could escape what you are. What you did. You would have told her the truth.” Which Then connects to the reveal of his lie that he made the deal with Gwi-ma for selfish purposes. That He wanted out of a miserable life and He was living it up in the palace while his family suffered the consequences.

When you hear that first line, and Jinu tells “his story” to Rumi, something’s supposed to be off about it. You’re supposed to get the sneaking suspicion that he isn’t telling her everything.

What’s being “misunderstood” by people is Jinu himself. Like people are taking Rumi’s version of the story at face value, “It was just a simple mistake” but they Want you to see that Jinu’s a demon Because he made a selfish decision that hurt others, and while I’ve mentioned in a past post that he’s not an “irredeemable monster” there Is still a Reason as to why he’s there to begin with. Like he isn’t there under false pretenses, he’s responsible for leaving his family behind.

But people seem entirely focused on the "he's so hot" or "he's emotionally damaged" or “I could fix him” thing with shipping him with Rumi to look closer at his character. which, in short is why despite him sacrificing himself for Rumi at the end, it didn't feel like a completely warranted redemption arc to me.

(And to add onto my last post of “Jinu lost points with me” If they Did add the aquarium date between him and Rumi before the Takedown thing I would have been like “yea you’re done”; like I feel i would have been Way more pissed off at him had they gone that route)

[chronicsyd]

To disclaimer this I want to say idk if I’m entirely right about this and if I’m not Please correct me (and I do apologize in advance because yk, I’m white as a sheet of paper and am often wrong about things)

But I’m seeing So many people say that Jinu’s sister is calling him “Pa” in the reveal flashback scene when they’re being shut out of the palace and I’m pretty sure that’s wrong.

I think she’s calling him “Oppa” (오빠) which means “older brother” in Korean, I think people are just hearing the end of the “pa” and thinking that’s just what she’s calling him (which wouldn’t make sense considering she’s his sister and not his daughter)

But like I said, I could be Totally wrong about this 🤷‍♀️

[chronicsyd]

I'm Sorry, why are people acting like I'M the unreasonable one for saying that Jinu lost several points in my book for the Takedown thing?

like disguising two demons to look like Rumi's friends and have them rip off her clothes, revealing the thing she's insecure about for the Entire World to see And causing her to have a panic attack on stage? After this girl spent so much time confiding in you and looking for a way to Help You? like Absolutely Insane to me

yea, yea I understand Why he did it but that doesn't change it being a shitty thing that he did and it makes me not like him as much

look, I'm Not saying that Jinu's an irredeemable monster but the amount of people I've seen just sweeping this under the rug is bonkers

[chronicsyd]

actually, I changed my mind, I have the Perfect character comparison for Rumi that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

purple hair? check

part demon? check

powers fueled by emotions? check

has patterns at some point? check

has walls up around others? check

big bad demon comes to the human world? check

this literally came to me at 4 in the morning cuz I was running a list of my kins in my head and what they all had in common btw

[chronicsyd]

AND THE VERDICT IS IN:

...I'm just a dumbass. I was doing yet Another rewatch of the movie and that verse is just Rumi singing personally to herself it isn't actually apart of the song Golden in the movie verse only we're meant to see it I'm just overthinking it.

as i do with everything...

so i was listening to Golden during my work shift and it dawned on me that the second verse is entirely talking about Rumi wanting to get rid of her patterns and being a "normal girl" such and you're telling me that neither Zoey Nor Mira noticed this. cuz Zoey's supposed to be the lyricist of the group so it's not like it's something to be missed.

and with them patterns isn't associated with anything other than demons, they mention it in the first five minutes during that fight scene on the plane. maybe I'm just overthinking this but whatever

(see I told you things turn into a hyperfixation for me...)

“Oh Rumis the only straight one! She’s the only straight and likes Jinu!”

Nah nah nah not only did this girl say she’s “everyone’s type” but all Three of them are Bi (and Rumi’s also demisexual)

Thank you for your time
