Opinions

This rant post is based upon the bl manwha "Blind Play". If you haven't read it I recommend to read it but this manwha has a lot of horrid scenes and very graphic visuals (specifically gore and disturbing sex) since the genre of the manwha is labeled as psychological and mystery. The story is very engrossing and full of rabbit holes, the characters are also heavily well written and complex. That is why I am going untangle the pieces one by one.

To start of, we need to analyze the characters and their mindset, personality, psychology and how their positions fit in the story.

...

Seo Ilmo - character that plays a big part in the story

I think we all know that Seo Ilmo is a psychopath that enjoys killing for the thrill. He is the generic serial killer that has a deeply complex character inside like from every psychological story, we all know he likes to kill people. But why does he do it? What could be so fun about homicide? What does he gain from killing? Is it the thrill?

In chapter 59, it is revealed that he didn't start with killing humans but with animals, specifically birds at a young age. One thing I should mention is that Ilmo's father's driver who had a thing for young boys would help him with his little experiments.

Seo Ilmo's words talking to Jaebeom.

"He was my father's driver. My father liked him because he was quiet and minded his own business. Whenever he came to our house, his eyes would always be chasing after me. Well.....I guess he had a thing for young boys, you know?"

It was then his addiction of killing started taking its place when he killed a huge boar.

In his words;

"The first time I stabbed a huge, fully-grown boar in the neck.........I can only describe the feeling as electrifying. I could feel the raw pleasure from my finger tips all the way to my veins. It was as if this strange, unfamiliar sense of exhilaration was awakening every cell within my body."

Ever since that, he's yearn for bloodshed has evoked. It has evolved to the point that he has to formulate a play or story for his killings to reach the satisfaction of it. It is also worth noting that Seo Ilmo has no emotion or gut reaction. In chapter 30, Seo Ilmo is telling Ah-in a story from his childhood. Seo Ilmo's step mother mentions;

"There is nothing inside your heart. No sadness. No grief. No pain."

So is he trying to feel or revive his emotions by killing? But not just killing, he creates a dilemma for his victims to choose certain decisions that is absolutely doomed for the start. A play, for his victims, only to end up in horrid outcomes.

My conclusion is; he chooses his chosen victim to start play the game that he already started. He takes risks and also puts himself in danger for his own amusement. When the game ends (the victim is killed), either its how he predicted it in the first place as if he was controlling every situation like he is playing God. He becomes disappointed if his victims does not live up to his expectations (and the victim gets killed). And just like that he starts another game to see if the new victim lives up to his expectations with the victim's given positions.

Part 2 (coming up)

Padparadscha x reader

Nobody asked but HJHBJHJKBV. This is my first time writing a fic so I'm kinda nervous....

Let me know if this isn't accurate to the character or the story...ಥ⌣ಥ

(The timeline in this fic is when its post winter arc)

You're one of the newer gems so u haven't really met padparadscha properly since he's always(?) asleep.

One day, you were patrolling with Phos until he suddenly remembered that he found chunks of rubies he hid during winter.

You and Phos went back to the school and gave the rubies to Rutile.

Since Rutile looked tired and exhausted you decided to help Rutile ensemble Padparadscha while Phos stood at the side.....ಠ_ಠ

After carefully helping Rutile put Padparadscha together you three waited patiently for Padparadscha to wake up.

...

......!?

Padparadscha's eyelashes started to flutter as he was waking up.

"Oh wow, look how bedazzled(?) i look! You really did a great job this time, Rutile" Spoke the gem.

Rutile thanked the gem but he also mentions you (and Phos) as part of the help too.

He looked over to the side to face you (and Phos).

"Hmmm........"

"Are you guys......a new comer?"

Wait a minute he almost didn't recognize phos since he looks like a completely new gem.

but when he looked over to you...you were excited to meet him since you never introduced yourself properly.

After your introduction, he sat in silence for a sec and gave you a warm smile.

He shook ur hand and asked if you wanted to patrol with him since its been such a long time he went outside.

you guys chit-chat for a bit while patrolling outside.

After talking to him for quite a bit

He kinda stares at you ....

You don't know why but you get this feeling like electric shocks everytime he looks at you.

your cheeks were slightly pink

When Padparadscha notices, he kinda stares at you more.......

sorry to end it on a cliffhanger but I'll do a part 2 (◎_◎;)

Alexandrite

Did you know?

That Alexandrite is a mineral that can change color depending on different light sources.

The term Alexandrite came from Emperor Alexandria ii.

Alexandrite that comes from the Ural Mountains of Russia is colored green in daylight to red in incandescent light.

Other varieties of alexandrite may be yellowish or pink in daylight and a columbine or raspberry red by incandescent light.

This chameleon-like color shift is the result of its uncommon chemical composition which includes traces of chromium, the same coloring agent found in emerald. The unlikelihood of these elements combining under the right conditions makes alexandrite one of the rarest and most expensive gemstones on Earth.

The alexandrite mined from Russia’s famed deposits set the quality standard for this gemstone. Today, most alexandrite comes from Sri Lanka, Brazil, and East Africa, generally paling in comparison to the vivid colors of Russian gemstones.

With a hardness of 8.5 on the Mohs scale, alexandrite is softer than sapphire and harder than garnet—the other gemstones that can change color. However, due to its scarcity, alexandrite is more valuable than most gemstones, including rubies and diamonds.
