Now I wanna talk about some of the Manhwa series that I recently read in the last couple of days...

Our Secret Alliance

Manhwa Status: Completed Troupe: Childhood best friends turned lovers. THE NO. 1 BEST FUCKING "CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TURNED LOVERS" TROUPE MANHWA OUT THERE💘!! PERIOD😤!!!

No, seriously. I really enjoyed reading this series, and OMG !!! Female lead Se-i Yun and male lead Jaeha Kim are so fucking adorable!!! Se-i is a cutie, for sure, and seeing Jaeha as a boyfriend in this story raised my "boyfriend" expectations to an unrealistic height...

Also warning: you'll encounter a soft, bashful male lead here... so beware!!!

Seasons Of Blossom

Manhwa Status: Completed This story has four different parts: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. And damn, the stories are so good, y'all!!

(This is gonna be a LONG rant here btw...)

I really loved the 1st part of the series "Bomi's Flower" which is the season of Spring. The sweet female lead (Bomi Yun), one of the most popular and studious girls in school, has a little crush on the 2nd male lead (Jaemin Lee), another popular kid in school, but later finds out that her best friend/2nd female lead (Seonhui Kang) also has a crush on Jaemin. But the thing is everyone in their school ships Bomi and Jaemin together as a romantic couple. Seonhui also shows her genuine support to Bomi as a good friend if she ever tries to get together with Jaemin, but Bomi knows that deep down inside her heart Seonhui is hurting by the fact that Jaemin likes Bomi and everyone ships them, meaning her love towards Jaemin is unrequited. So to save her friendship with Seonhui and also to save Seonhui from a potential heartbreak, Bomi gets into a fake relationship with the male lead (Jinyeong Choi), so that Seonhui and Jaemin get the chance to be together... But the thing is Jinyeong is the complete opposite of Bomi. Unlike Bomi, Jinyeong is blunt, ruthless with his words, always has a straight bored look on his face, and has an "I don't give a fuck" kinda attitude. He doesn't fuck around and hates those typical high school dramas and bullshit. Even though he's a gaming otaku and only has two male friends, he's quite famous among the students; guys want to be friends with him because of his game recommendations and girls think he's really cute. Also despite the fact that he's shorter than Bomi in height, my man has balls for sure when it comes to speaking up about his mind or taking action for anything.

This story talks about how opposites attract one another, how to discover and learn new yet unexpected things, how to fall in love for the first time in life and that sweet feeling like falling in love in your youth, and how to break out of your own shell and discover a new side of yourself. This 1st part of the series will give you nothing but fluff, sweetness, and butterflies.

And then later comes the 2nd part of the series, the season of Summer aka Hamin's Flower...

Okay, this one was really tough to get through. Not because the story sucked or anything. It's because of how painful, angsty, and heartbreaking it is. In the 1st part (Bomi's Flower aka Spring), we get to know that the 2nd male lead Jaemin Lee had an older brother named Hamin Lee (the golden child of the family) who died 6 years ago by committing suicide. We don't get much info about Hamin Lee in the 1st part (other than the fact that he's Jaemin's brother) until it comes to an end and the 2nd part begins. The 2nd part opens up with Jaemin Lee and the gang bumps into a 24-year-old art college student named Somang Han who happens to be Hamin's girlfriend from high school. Through Somang's narration and flashbacks, we get to know what kind of person Hamin Lee was, how she and Hamin met and fell in love, and how he spiraled into depression which resulted in him ending his own life. And also through Jaemin, we get to know more about Hamin as a son and a brother and how their parents' rough parenting pushed him to darkness and depression. At first, when Hamin was first mentioned in the 1st part, I didn't think much about him and only felt empathy for Jaemin for losing his older brother. But after getting introduced to Hamin in the 2nd part and learning more about him through Somang and Jaemin's POV and narrations, I couldn't help but bawl my eyes out for him in every single chapter. It got even worse for me since I already knew where the story was going and what was going to happen to Hamin in the end (it was more like the Shinichiro Sano effect from Tokyo Revengers like you know who Shinichiro is and what happened to him but that doesn't stop you from falling in love with him despite him being dead throughout the whole series). RIP Hamin Lee; my heart will always go out to you, forever, always.

The 2nd part Hamin's Flower aka Summer talks about some heavy topics/subjects like - dysfunctional families, rough parenting going wrong, dealing with societal burdens and depression, losing your loved ones and dealing with the aftermath, your first tragic love story, handling regrets and dealing with your traumas, how to overcome those traumas, and finally how to let go of your past and move on with life.

Hamin's Flower left me in such a numb and gloomy state that I couldn't read the other two parts (Autumn and Winter), but I'll try to get back and read them sooner or later. Even though I haven't read the complete series yet, I'll still give out a biased statement - I really, really loved Bomi's Flower and Hamin's Flower, and these two parts will always gonna be my favs from this series (doesn't matter to me if Autumn and Winter are better than these two).

Cheese In The Trap

Manhwa Status: Completed The oldest series in this list...

This story... this story... Oh God, where should I begin?!?! I can't believe that I didn't read this until now!! This is a truly mature love story. If you read this wanting a simple light college romance, this is not for you. While there are very cute interactions between the main character and her love interests, it is a very well-thought-out and complex manga - definitely the most realistic I have read thus far. The character development is out of this world and adds a sense of tangibility to the characters that you really don't see in fiction normally. To explain, the important main and side characters in any story are always bound by rules of development to identify them as cogs in a narrative; we have underlying expectations about what the characters might do, or how they might subvert those expectations. But, this webtoon is the study of social relationships and the nature of people. You get to see that there will always be some sort of social hierarchy, that there are meanings and repercussions beyond what you expect to happen in life, and that we all have some degree of victim and perpetrator in us. We all cope and process in different ways, while also continuing and evolving in life the way we know how. Unlike anything I have ever read before.

Also, this story is under the tag of "Psychological Drama" and it's all because of the male lead named Jung Yu. God, I've such a love-hate relationship with him, y'all!! Like I love him but also hate him at the same time. He's mysterious, charming, alluring yet so damn confusing. Also, the fact that he's a sociopath with a bit of a Yandere-ish tendency in him and that he's also obsessed with the female lead (Seol Hong) in a very twisted way??? He's a walking red flag for sure, but then again not... In short, Jung Yu is a complex character and my simple brain just can't comprehend him. I also love the female lead (Seol Hong), the 2nd male lead (Inho Baek), and Seol's two best friends (Bora Jang and Euntaek Kwon). The only important side character I despise is Inho's twin sister Inha Baek (don't ask why; just go and read it for yourself and you'll know why... also I hate those bully characters too btw, just so you know...).

I Don't Hate Us

Manhwa Status: Completed Troupe: Childhood best friends turned lovers.

Another series with "childhood best friends turned lovers" troupe done right!!

The female lead (Wonsu Ha) and the male lead (Jaesu Sang) have been childhood best friends since their middle school days. They had been best friends through high school and college until one day Wonsu got herself a boyfriend. Jaesu has romantic feelings for Wonsu, but she only sees him as a friend and has platonic love for him. Wonsu then breaks up with her boyfriend, not because the guy is a cheater but because they aren't that compatible with each other, so they mutually break up and separate. Wonsu also gets separated from Jaesu because his romantic feelings for her were getting in the way of their friendship at the time, and also her relationship with her ex-boyfriend took a toll on her mentally and emotionally, so she cut off all her connection and simply focused on her studies and graduating from university. Years later, now working in a small yet growing company, Wonsu reconnects with an adult and more mature Jaesu, who now works in a multinational corporation, and that's when sparks and butterflies start to fly left, right, and center. Almost all the characters are likable, the story and the plot are realistic, and overall it was an enjoyable read for me truly.

Also warning: you'll encounter a soft, bashful male lead here... so beware!!! I mean, the fact that despite the bad boy looks and everything, he's so cute like a puppy is fucking adorable, yo!!!

My First Love Hate

Manhwa Status: On-going Troupe: Childhood best friends turned lovers

This one came out this year and so far I'm really enjoying it. Just like the previously mentioned series above, the female lead (Eunha Kang) is relatable, funny, smart, studious, strong-willed, and whatnot. The male lead (Seungmin Ha) is Eunha's childhood best friend since elementary school but they stopped hanging out with one another ever since he became a delinquent back in high school despite the fact that they went to the same school and were in the same classroom. Years later, Eunha got into a prestigious university in Seoul and later learned that Seungmin was also at that university!! Not only that, he also stopped being a delinquent for good and suddenly started dressing up like a nerdy college boy. When Eunha asked what he was trying to do, Seungmin simply replied that he was returning back to his old self again and wanted to reconnect with Eunha... But things got a bit spicy all of a sudden when a tattoo-bodied 2nd male lead named Ryu Seonhoo walked into the scene and Eunha had to tutor him for the GED test on a regular basis...

Also warning: you'll encounter a soft, bashful, puppy-like male lead AND 2nd male lead here... so beware!!!

Just Twilight

Mahwa Status: Ongoing Troupe: Strangers to friends to lovers

I won't say anything about it... JUST FUCKING READ THIS SHIT ALREADY!!!

If you're a fan of another famous manhwa series called "Positively Yours", then you'll also love this series since it's written by the same author. The female lead (Junyoung Yun) is literally my spirit animal and the male lead (Beomjin Kwon) is such a husbando material, y'all... like, just look at him!!!

That's all for now... I'll make more Korean manhwa recommendation posts again very soon!!!

My manhwa recommendation list posts - Link 1, Link 2, and Link 3.

This Week In BL - Everything is Awful or New or Both

Feb 2023 Wk 2

Being a highly subjective assessmen t of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

My School President (Fri YT) ep 11 of 12 - It’s an ep 11 so we knew this was gonna be a downer. This was definitely a “date me date my friends” kind of situation. At this rate, GeminiFourth’s other characters in Chicken are going to kiss before TinnGun do. I love Tinn’s dad. Also, it looks like our a tiny little ship of crumbs is sailing. How cute is that!? Sunshine + sunshine! Bonza.

Bed Friend (Sat YT & iQIYI uncut) 1 of 8 - Fuck buddies get messy, AKA Between Us the second cumming only this time in an office (and on a desk). I have been waiting for James to hold down (or be held down in) a BL for years! All hail the new kings of high heat. BUCKLE UP I GOT A LOT TO SAY. I like that there’s a dark underbelly (*snicker*) of trauma to this one, it has a slightly a Japanese feel which suits mature characters and an office setting. King’s yearning worried eyes are glorious. Poor thing, he totally adores this beautiful broken fragile boy and doesn’t know how to capture his attention. I admit Net was the one I worried about with this pair. James was always gonna be great. It turns out, I didn’t have to worry. This is an awesome show and I fucking love it. It nearly scooped the top spot. Frankly this is the Office BL I have been WAITING for Thailand to give us.

NOTE: I watched both YT’s cut and iQIYI’s uncut version. (Anyone else feel odd using those terms under a high heat BL context?) I like YT’s better, mostly iQIYI’s interface is shit. Deets? There was a little extra from the “morning after regrets flashbacks” but not so much I think you’ll regret missing it. Unless you REALLY prefer high heat. The emotion of the sexual connection and Uea’s lonely submissive need was transmitted in both versions, but the iQIYI is slightly more MOAR.

Never Let Me Go (Tues YT) ep 10 of 12 - Flashbacks to the cutest boyfriends ever and then PAIN. All I can think is “thank fuck this was handed to Pond & Phuwin.” One of the world’s saddest executions of the sniff test trope. Meanwhile, Perth is SO GOOD but I wish Chopper would record his conversations with his dad. Look, we all know Chopper is gonna take his dad’s bullet for Nuengdiao, right? Oh well, if you didn’t know, I just told you.

Moonlight Chicken (Weds YT) 3-4 of 8 - The plot... erm... thickens. I told you Jim had a tragic backstory with an ex. And now it’s all gotten VERY messy. Sigh. Fourth & Gemini are cute, tho.

Hit Bite Love (Sat YouTube) ep 4-5 of 6 - I do like King & Burger. The idea of giving your perspective boyfriend your CV is ADORBS. Auditioning for the part, as it were. I would like it known that my sexual identity is chili (AKA spicy) henceforth. (My pronouns are MaxTul & sometimes Phi.) Look, this is an absurd show. Last ep it was BDSM 101, this ep we got a lesson on how to use a condom properly? AND why the closet is both necessary and damaging? I mean I applaud their educational endeavors but BL: The After School Special? Did I sign up for Degrassi Junior BL while I wasn’t looking?

Boyband (Thurs YT) 1 of 10 - BL drama about putting an idol boyband together. AKA how to make ABL suffer by combing favorite (celebrity romances, Kpop) and least favorite (bad singing) tropes. AND? I REALLY like it. It’s fun! What singing there is, is looped not live. So we in Cutie Pie territory. It’s easy to skip. The pairing is rich/poor and I like an other side of the tracks romance.

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

HIStory 5: Love in the Future (Taiwan Weds Viki) ep 8 of 10 (or 15&16 of 20) - Covid strikes. Boyfriends are worried. Omg they are so cute and hot and awkward. Tension in the office politics too. It’ll be okay, babies.

Jack o’Frost (Japan) ep 1 of 6 - After getting dumped, Ritsu has an accident and gets amnesia. Ikuya, his ex, struggles to help him regain his memories while wondering about the state of their relationship. But Ritsu falls in love with Ikuya all over again. Engaging opening but I’m just not sure about the premise.

It’s Airing But ...

Chains of Heart (Sat Gaga) 1 of 10 - Not dropping for me until tomorrow so it’ll be in next week’s round up I hope. Suspense thriller about a forest ranger, smugglers, amnesia, and lost love. Stars Haii (Cirrus in TT2) and Marc (My Gear & Your Gown in YYY). Adapted from a Y-novel of the same name by TJ Tommy.

My Beautiful Man 2 (Viki & Gaga) - Because there are only 4 eps, I decided to wait and binge this one.

Cafe In Love (Thai) 10 eps on Ch3+ - Thai pulp, stars the actor who played Noh’s best friend Ohm in Love Sick 2. When his coffee shop closes, a man tries everything to save it and falls in love along the way. I had a hunt but can’t find it.

Moments Of Love (Thai) Feb 14 Foremorfilm Production movie for cinema release. Was originally a series with Golf (609 Bedtime Story & The Eclipse) to direct, and SmartJames (LeonPhob from Don't Say No) to star. BUT is now something totally different. We’re all confused.

Destiny Seeker (Tues WeTV ) 10 eps - it’s not on any WeTV I can get ahold of. Engineering student Songkram is head of dorm 3, for "strong & athletic" students. Aye is head of dorm 2, for the "good looking" students. Aye used to be Songkram's tutor and friend, but they fell apart after becoming dorm heads. Aye is actually in love with Songkram but thinks Sonkram likes someone else. Songkram actually likes Aye. So, Bad Buddy the pulp rebirth meets that weird Japanese “girls-crossdressing-as-boys for love and infiltrating secret society of hotness” tradition.

Our Winter (Thai & Korea ?) - TutorYim vehicle supposedly airing now. Search me.

The End Of The World, With You AKA Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu (Japan Sun Gaga) - DNFing this one. It’s way too high heat for them to end it happily and full of dark stuff like cheating, suicide, depression, abuse. I actively HATE one of the main characters and mildly dislike the other. Easier to just stop watching.

Next Week Looks Like This:

2023 forthcoming BL master post. (see comments some are inaccurate, NOT UPDATED)

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

My favorite thing to happen in BL this week. Possibly EVER.

Honestly, such a weird little After School Special. (All Hit Bite Love.)

SAIL MY LITTLE CRUMBS! SAIL!!!!

You TELL her, Paw. (All My School President)

We stan the out boy. Own it, babycakes. (Moonlight Chicken.)

(last week)

Current Kpop earworm? Beautiful by BEAST, look, sometimes we gotta go back to our roots. Check out the legends for what they were, criticize my taste later. Fuck I miss those times when everyone had to sing live and the one with the hot mic had to stop dancing to catch his breath because, ya know, he still had to sing.

ALL that said, you slackers should check out HELLO GLOOM - Dancing In The Dark. I alway said IMFACT was the most woke Kpop group, now they broken up(?) nice to see ‘em solo in queer fuck-off style.

❤︎₊ ⊹ // ... Kaleina Jung, born Jung Kyung-ja (Korean: 정경자, born May 4, 2000) and mononymously known as Kaleina (Korean: 칼레이나) is a Korean-American singer-songwriter, actress, producer, and model. Making her debut in Krush as the group's leader in 2017, Jung has gone on to become one of Korea's most popular idols. She is portrayed by Kim Jung-eun.

Kaleina Jung was born on May 4, 2000 in Busan, South Korea. Coming from a well-off family, both of her parents work as businesspeople. Her father is the executive of a financial company based in Busan, while her mother–Jung Kyung-hwa (also known as Eleanor Jung)–is the global creative director of Vogue magazine, a position which she assumed in 2003, a shareholder of Condé Nast, author, socialite, fashion blogger, and former model. She formerly held the position of editor-in-chief of Céci, a fashion magazine based in South Korea. Jung's maternal grandfather is the founder of a publishing company.

Jung has one older sibling, a sister named Kayda Jung (also known as Jung Ki-yeon). Kayda is a member of South Korean girl group Girls' Generation, of which she made her debut in 2007. She's also a solo artist, actress, and businesswoman, as she founded her fashion label–Passion by Kiyeon–in 2016.

Jung and her family moved to the United States in 2002, shortly after her second birthday, and they briefly resided in Neuilly-sur-Seine in Paris before arriving in New York. Two years later, at the age of four, she began dancing as a child due to her sister's influence, starting off in jazz dance classes. She began competing at the age of six, winning titles both in and out of school. In addition to dancing, Jung also took up acting in 2006, appearing in a few minor or supporting roles in various productions. Her sister briefly worked as an actress, as well, usually appearing alongside Jung before she moved back to Korea to begin training. Their roles in the film Trip to the Clouds (2006) had critics positioning them as "the next Dakota and Elle Fanning."

Jung attended school in Manhattan and was about to enter middle school when she decided to audition for entertainment companies in Korea in 2010. She first auditioned for YG and JYP Entertainment, and made it into both, but backed out due to nerves. Jung continued acting on occasion whilst living in Korea, and she was eventually scouted off the street by BigHit Entertainment (now BigHit Music). She would later be accepted into the company as a trainee, becoming one of its youngest.

As a child, Jung took horseback riding lessons. She's fluent in Japanese and speaks decent Chinese, and she also learned French while in middle school. While training, she attended Hanlim Arts School alongside her future bandmates, Aeri Yamamoto and Kim Chan-hee.

Prior to moving back to Korea, Jung and her family lived on 740 Park Avenue, known as one of the "most prestigious and luxurious" addresses in New York City. Jung's parents still reside there, and the family also owns vacation homes in the Hamptons and Aspen, Colorado, as well as a home in Los Angeles.

2010–2016: Career beginnings and Produce 101

While training at BigHit, Jung frequently appeared in the music videos of other artists such as Glam, Miss A, Got7, BTS, and Girls' Generation. She also continued acting in small roles, and began modeling, appearing in various CFs and campaigns for brands such as Smart Uniform. In 2013, she was a backup dancer for a few of Glam's performances. She made an appearance in the drama Dream High 2 (2012), and her larger role in The Producers (2015) garnered her significant attention, as netizens began to notice her similarities to Jung Ki-yeon. Jung saw more attention after a clip from a behind the scenes video of Girls' Generation's "I Got a Boy" (of which Jung appeared in) resurfaced, showing Ki-yeon talking about her sister. Afterwards, Jung was dubbed "SoShi's little sister."

In 2014, Kim Da-hee–a member of Glam–was caught in a blackmail scandal and sentenced to jail. As a result, almost all of BigHit's female trainees were sent to other companies such as Source Music, Banana Culture, or JYP Entertainment. Jung herself was also transferred to the latter, but BigHit suddenly retracted their decision, keeping Jung under the company in hopes of debuting another girl group sometime in 2015.

The group was meant to be in collaboration with Source Music, but as the company had debuted GFriend that year, they left all rights to the potential group to BigHit. As a result, the group's debut was postponed to 2016.

In late 2015, Jung was sent to compete in the survival show Produce 101 by BigHit, alongside Aeri Yamamoto. Jung and Yamamoto's appearances on the show were meant to peak public interest. Jung saw a large amount of popularity whilst on the show and was renowned for her dance skills, garnering a ranking as high as two and earning the nickname "BigHit's Secret Weapon." She was chosen as the center of the show's theme song–"Pick Me"–and made it to the finals round, but was eliminated in the final episode, one place short of the final lineup.

2017–2020: Debut in Krush

Jung garnered a large fanbase on Produce 101, all of which were expecting her debut following the show's conclusion. BigHit postponed their girl group's debut for another year, looking to add another trainee. In the meantime, Jung would offer background vocals on and assist in the songwriting of various BTS tracks, such as some of the solo tracks of the members on their 2016 album, Wings. She also offered a verse on a track from J-Hope's debut mixtape, Hope World (2018), as well as background vocals on other tracks.

In 2017, right before Krush's debut, Jung appeared in BTS' "Love Yourself: Highlight Reel." Around the same time, she adopted her English name–Kaleina–as her stage name.

In September 2017, Kaleina was revealed as the first member and leader of BigHit's first girl group in five years, Krush. On October 1, 2017, the group debuted with the track "Classy," off of their debut extended play (EP), Crushin' It.

Kaleina is Krush's leader, main rapper, main dancer, sub-vocalist, face of the group, and center.

2021–present: Solo debut, acting roles, and commercial success

In 2021, four years after Krush's debut, Kaleina made her solo debut with the EP Cobra. Released in January 15, 2021, it was released in tandem with her debut single, "Cobra." The album debuted atop the Gaon (now Circle) Albums Chart, and peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It sold over 1.4 million copies within its first week, making Kaleina the fastest selling solo artist of 2021, and BigHit's most successful female soloist. As of 2024, it has sold almost 4 million copies.

"Cobra" debuted atop the Gaon Singles Chart, selling over 300,000 digital units within its first week. It was one of the most popular songs in South Korea by the end of the year, selling over 2.6 million digital units in the country. It also became her first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. As a result, Kaleina was awarded Best K-Pop at the MTV Video Music Awards, Best Female Artist at the 2021 Mnet Asian Music Awards, and was nominated for Song of the Year at the same ceremony. At the 2022 Golden Disc Awards, she won the Rookie Artist Award.

Kaleina's solo debut set the precedent for the solo debuts of the remaining Krush's members, and her debut album remains the most critically acclaimed release out of all of them.

Kaleina's debut leading role came in 2019, as she was cast as Go Hae-ri in the drama Vagabond. That same year, she also appeared in Hotel del Luna. She starred in the Netflix drama, Poison, in 2020 and had a supporting role in the drama Itaewon Class. For her role in the former, Kaleina won the Best New Actress award at the KBS Drama Awards.

In 2021, Kaleina had a supporting role in the Netflix drama Squid Game, playing Noh Gyu-ri, a college student from an impoverished family. Gyu-ri struggles with an inferiority complex and attends Korea University on a scholarship, and enters the games in order to support her family and fit into the upper class social circles of her school. Kaleina's character became one of the drama's most popular characters among fans, and for her role, she was nominated for the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series award at the 28th Screen Actors' Guild Awards, and won the Best New Actress award at the Baeksang Arts' Awards. Since then, Kaleina has starred numerous productions such as the film Summer Story (2022), and the dramas Doona!, Bloodhounds (both 2023), What Comes After Love, the queer film Chaser (both 2024), the drama Persona, and the second season of The White Lotus (both 2025).

Kaleina is openly bisexual, and has been since 2019. She came out during one of Krush's concerts in Los Angeles that year, and later talked about her sexuality in further detail during an interview with Marie Claire magazine.

In the interview, she stated, "I've felt an attraction towards both men and women for as long as I can remember. It must've been fifteen, at least. I wanted to 'come out' in a public setting such as our concert because I don't see my sexuality as something that needs to be hidden or suppressed, even though I'm an idol with a so-called 'image.' I wish people like me didn't have to 'come out' in the first place, but unfortunately, that's just how it is."

In February 2021, it was revealed by Dispatch that Kaleina was in a relationship with an unspecified female choreographer, which exacerbated widespread, years-long "controversy" that began in 2019, of which her mother and sister had to defend her from. A month later, news broke that she was in a relationship with dancer, choreographer, and dance teacher Bada Lee.

Kaleina and Lee suddenly broke up in 2022, and Kaleina entered a relationship with Stray Kids member Felix. They dated for a year, breaking up in April 2023. Afterwards, she got back together with Lee. As of 2024, they own an apartment and live together in Seoul. Recently, Kaleina has revealed that she had been in various, short-term relationships with both men and women in between 2020 and 2022.

In 2019, Kaleina became a global ambassador for the luxury fashion house Saint Laurent. The brand's creative director, Anthony Vaccarello, stated on his choosing of Kaleina as a Saint Laurent ambassador, "Kaleina has a distinct 'cool girl' image and rockstar flair, which aligns with Saint Laurent's vision. Additionally, she has an eye for fashion that you cannot find in anyone else, courtesy of her mother, who is a known style icon in her own right." Kaleina shot her first pictorial for the brand in March 2019, in collaboration with W magazine.

Shortly after, Kaleina was named the muse of YSL Beauty. In 2020, she was named as the face of Hera, a luxury beauty brand based in South Korea. That same year, she became a spokesmodel for the Korean sunglasses brand Gentle Monster. In 2021, Kaleina released a lipstick in partnership with Hera, named "Leina Red." The lipstick sold out within a day.

In 2021, Kaleina saw a huge uptick in endorsements. Shortly after her solo debut, she became the advertisement model for SeoulCeuticals Vitamin C serum. She was featured in various CFs for the Japanese luxury skincare brand SK-II, and became a model for the British swimwear brand Hunza G. In September 2021, she became a global ambassador for the luxury automobile manufacturer Porsche.

In 2022, Kaleina became the global ambassador of Bvlgari and Calvin Klein, starring in the Spring 2022 and Fall 2023 campaigns of the latter. She briefly served as a fashion editor for Vogue Korea, contributing to the September 2022 and January 2023 issues. In May 2024, shortly before her twenty-fourth birthday, Kaleina released a limited edition cosmetics line in partnership with YSL Beauty.

2023 wrapped: webtoon edition!

my final 2023 wrapped post for the year! unlike previous ones, this list is every series i read this year vs. ones that started this year. previous lists for this year:

cdrama edition

kdrama edition

ranked from least favorite to most favorite, which doesn't mean objectively best, just ones that hit me more. ones that are completed series will have a * after the title

15 my deepest secret*. omfg i hated this webtoon. the twist was asinine and frankly ignorant. none of the characters were likeable by the end. hate quit this one with like 5 chapters left to go i just couldnt

14 my second husband. seemed promising at first! i was hooked for the first 40 chapters or so but then it just started getting weirdly paced, had big plot holes, and nothing ever felt like it was getting resolved. the ML had like 0 charisma as well. dropped.

13 to love your enemy. this one was REALLY fun until the cult arc hit and then it was the biggest wtf is happening. dropped it shortly after

12 i dont hate us*. i liked this one until the timeskip ending, where then everyone and everything just felt really off. the second female lead gets a special mention because i HATED her at first but by the end she was my favorite character <3

11 romance 101.* this was okay. the art style was really cute and i loved the FL. but there never seemed to be any chemistry with the main ship to me, and the plot became really focused on the app/programming club which bored the hell out of me. dropped this one around chap 100

10 shadow bride. nothing bad but nothing particularly noteworthy for me. fluff read.

9 high spirits neoma. im not very far into this webtoon yet, or it'd be higher up the list im sure. im around ch 5 and finding it really charming and i love the color palette for it

8 dreaming freedom/freedom in dreams. although the art style isnt my cup of tea, i really enjoyed this fucked up high school revenge/romance webtoon but where im currently at (ch. 111ish) it's starting to feel a little circular. hoping it goes back to what it does best which is Unsettling Shit

7 my reason to die*. man this would've been in my top 3 but the ending arc is just. really boring??? like i dont want to watch them search for a pot farm for 10 chapters. i havent finished this one yet, but ive been putsing getting back into it ever since post reveal. the drama is very pretty though and the reveal chapters hit me like a truck in a good way

6 operation true love. i borderline hated this webtoon when i first started, but the reviews had me wanting to stick it out and im so glad i did!! around ep 10ish it really finds its footing and just keeps going for it! very kdrama in flavor and endearing FL.

5 unholy blood*. a fun, dark, and nostalgic webtoon about vampires and vampire hunting that brought me back to my tween years in the best way. the character designs are really awesome. it's a little lower on the list because the ending felt a bit rushed, but it's a really solid horror/action comic with a lil romance

4 surviving romance*. this one's complete but i got about 10 chapters left. it's a really fun horror comic (NOT romance, dont be fooled by the title) that reminds me of extraordinary you but if the plot was focused on the metaphysical horror of it a little more. fun characters and relationships. a little lower just because the second "return" arc feels tedious/unneeded so far. we'll see. TEAM RINA.

3 maybe meant to be/fate found by chance. ive found that i tend to gravitate toward darker webtoons, so this is my c-c-combo breaker! cute, funny, quirky, and really endearing. standard contract marriage plot but between two delightful weirdos

2 purple hyacinth. this series is everything. the art is gorgeous, it has its own OST built into the reading. the characters are nuanced and complicated and omg it's a ride and a half so far.

1 olgami/trapped*. INCREDIBLE characters and such an intense look at enemies-to-lovers. the drama starts as a psycho-thriller about gravedigging for a vampire and ends up about two leads who have never learned how to love willing to try it with one another in their fucked-up way. dysfunctional. hot. SO GOOD. the art evolution for this series was great as well

#webtoon #manhwa #olgami #purple hyacinth #maybe meant to be #gizka 2023 wrapped

Intro to Crush Management 101

Read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/58453348

by Waddiwasii

Stiles watches from across the courtyard as Derek Hale, lacrosse captain, human embodiment of unattainable goals, and Stiles’ long-time hopeless crush (former, former crush), holds court with his underlings - well, friends, but Stiles is feeling particularly sardonic today, and if the shoe fits, right?

It’s one of those unfairly cinematic scenes that could come straight out of a teen drama, where Derek is effortlessly charismatic, leaning casually against the wall, his friends laughing at something he said. His stupidly perfect smile and that easy, laid-back confidence only make him look more like a hero right out of an 80s movie, which, tragically, would make Stiles the geeky sidekick doomed to pine from afar.

He's even wearing that ridiculous letterman jacket despite an unpleasant 84 degrees with sweltering sun outside.

Fuck him for pulling it off, too.

Features, in no particular order, Lydia Martin as a slightly cooler version of Hermione Granger, Derek Hale’s stupid letterman jacket, and Stiles Stilinski in the role of Rebel Without a Cause (sort of).

Words: 24385, Chapters: 1/1, Language: English

Fandoms: Teen Wolf (TV)

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: Underage

Categories: M/M

Characters: Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski, Lydia Martin, Scott McCall (Teen Wolf), Danny Māhealani, Sheriff Stilinski (Teen Wolf)

Relationships: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, Danny Māhealani/Stiles Stilinski

Timothy Olyphant, 55, is an actor who starred in Deadwood, Live Free or Die Hard, and Justified. He will star in the FX miniseries Justified: City Primeval this fall and currently co-stars in the Max miniseries Full Circle. He spoke with Marc Myers before the actors strike.

TIMOTHY:

You couldn’t get me out of the pool when I was a kid. We lived next door to a swim and racket club in Modesto, Calif.

I began regular swim practice at age 6. My older brother, Andy, took to tennis, which probably helped us get along. We were competitive. Our younger brother, Matt, did a little bit of everything and eventually became a water-polo player.

I was born in Hawaii, but we moved to Modesto when I was 3. My dad, Bevan, worked for Del Monte and left to work at E&J Gallo Winery soon after we relocated to California. He started in bottling and worked his way up to vice president of production.

My mom, Katherine, was a full-time mom. She was the nurturing type. Whether I won or lost, she’d always talk about how well I competed or how beautiful a swimmer I was, never about whether I won or not. She’s very sweet and encouraging.

Just as I was starting high school, my parents divorced. After they split up, we quickly figured out who was responsible for what. For example, our dad didn’t really know how to do laundry or cook. If we were going over to his place, we’d probably be eating out.

When you’re young, any time your foundation gets rocked, it sets you back a bit. I’d been a good student when my parents were together, but there definitely was a dip after the divorce. I kind of saw what I could get away with and wound up just an okay student.

I wasn’t in school plays. I’m not sure I saw that side of me yet. Instead, I was at swim practice and hanging with my buddies. I also liked to draw a lot, which I suppose is how I expressed myself.

I was a solid swimmer in the Central Valley. I set a CIF SAC-Joaquin Section Record and wound up with an All America Swimming Certificate. By my senior year, I realized swimming was my ticket out of town and certainly the only way I’d get into a great university.

I worked hard. After USC saw the times I was posting, they called to recruit me for the team. When I flew out to USC on my recruit trip, I met with the dean of the architecture school. He said there was no way I could manage both the swim team’s practice schedule and the rigors of the architectural program.

I asked him about the art gallery downstairs. He said it was part of the fine-arts department. I didn’t even know you could get a degree in that. I met with the fine-arts dean and asked if I could be on the swim team. He said we’d work it out.

Majoring in fine arts for me was like winning the lottery. In high school, I’d get in trouble for drawing when I was supposed to be doing schoolwork. Now, in college, drawing was my schoolwork.

After my senior year, I left USC several electives shy of a degree and didn’t finish until the pandemic. But before I left, I met some drama majors who got me thinking about acting.

By then, my college girlfriend, Alexis, and I had married. We moved to Seal Beach, south of Los Angeles, where I coached swimming. To fulfill some of my electives I took an acting 101 class at UC Irvine. I had a ball. It was a language I understood immediately.

I read Stanislavsky’s and Sandy Meisner’s books on acting. I realized that it wasn’t a frivolous pursuit but a craft on par with how artists I admired approached painting and sculpture. I told Alexis I was thinking about pursuing acting rather than a master’s in fine art. She said, “Tim, just do something. Just pick one thing and do that.”

The guy who taught the intro class was a graduate student who recommended I study with Bill Esper at the Esper Studio in New York. Fortunately, Alexis’s dad lived there and let us move into his place.

My career has been many little steps—a lot of one step forward, two steps back. I’m not sure if there was any one role that really changed things, but landing the lead in “Justified,” in 2010, certainly helped things along.

Today, Alexis and I live in Los Angeles and have three grown kids. We moved in 15 years ago and love the house and neighborhood. I still draw and swim.

Breakfast is my favorite meal. I make steel-cut oatmeal in my rice cooker, which has a porridge setting. When I come home from swimming and have my oatmeal, I feel like I’m 8 again. And you know what? That feels pretty good.

—————

Timothy’s Digs:

Full Circle? I play Derek in the miniseries about a kidnapping gone awry and the family secrets exposed.

Blissful space? Sitting in a blue chair in the kitchen having coffee with my wife.

Cool buy? A painting by an artist I’ve admired for at least a decade or so.

Tennis? I play with my brother and oldest daughter. The fact that they play with me means the world.

Youngest daughter? Vivian. She’s an actress in the coming season of Justified: City Primeval.

#timothy olyphant #[.]#[tim]#this reads a bit like an autobiography and I LOVE IT 🥰🥰

The Companion 8

Pairing: Park Jimin x Reader

Genre:Romance, Idol AU, Drama, Comedy, Angst, Soulmate AU (Began in chapter 5), Slow burn (ended)

Chapter Warning(s): ANGST! Couch? Couch. UNEDITED!

Legend: *Language barrier doesn't exist in the Dreamstate, will be explainedin the next chapter*

POV: 3rd

Word count: 3.7k+ (parcel delivery: here's your order of 'More Angst' @sopejinsunflower ) lmao

A/N: Here's the dreamstate mini memory dump I mentioned and here's why Jimin doesn't want to sleep the same time as her (part of it mentioned in Chapter 7) and also why he's hesitant about being in one bed. AAAND a lot of Angst. Listen to Before You Go to get into the mood lol, and grab tissues. You'll need em. Please read the A/N at the end of the chapter hehe.

~~~~~^^~~~~~~~~^^^^

High school - Soulmate 101

"Can someone tell me what will happen if you share the same sleeping location as your soulmate?" Jimin's professor asks, he looks up from his phone where he was texting Taehyung who was in the convenience store near the school waiting for the Jimin and his next class. The silence Jimin's professor received from the class simply answered his question.

"When you sleep as the same location as your soulmate," he started then grinned softly "Well, timezone's the same, but that's not what I meant when I said 'same location'. What I meant was the same bed, sleeping bag, couch or based on my experience; the same room."

Jimin's eyes widened when the man mentioned the word bed, but his eyes got wider if that was even possible.

"What happened?" Jimin couldn't stop himself from asking

"That was how I met my soulmate" he shook his head "No, let me rephrase that; that's how she met me. She remembered me when she woke up. And let me tell you, it was awkward because not only did she remember the dream from the night before, but all dreams prior to that."

Present day: Before bedtime.

'You're in trouble' -🐱

Jimin stared at the message Yoongi sent to him through their group chat, then he rolled his eyes as if to say 'Yeah, no shit hyung.'

'Let's hope she doesn't remember 🙏' -🐿

'Easy for you to say, when your soulmate happens to be an ARMY,' Jimin replied 'And you can't approach her without her screaming her head off

'Don't remind me,' -🐨

'It's still echoing in my head. I wish you approached her before we debuted. It would've been much more easier,' - 🐨

'You and me both, bro'-🐿

'Wait, Jimin. Aren't you supposed to be in the same bed as her right now?'-🐹

Jimin quickly snapped a selfie of half of his face and the shower head as he sat on the closed toilet bowl.

'What are you doing?' -🐻

'Hiding...'-🐥

'Why are you hiding?' -🐻

'Because'-🐥

'You're scared aren't you?' -🐨

'What?! No!'-🐥

'Then why are you hiding in the bathroom, you idiot'-🐹

'It might make things easier for you if she remembers everything, Jimin-ah' -🐿

'Hobi's right, but did you all forget? She won't remember him,' -🐱

'Oh, right,'🐻

'Someone remind me what happened again? I just woke up. I don't remember what happened to her-🐰

'Neither does she, apparently 🙄' -🐥

'Can't you just try to make her remember? Then meet up with her in the Dreamstate?'-🐰

'He could, but the question is: will she ever remember everything that went through before she was 22' -🐹

'21 in international age, hyung. Even if she does, Jimin wasn't part of her life physically. She only knew Jimin through the Dreamstate,'-🐨 Namjoon pointed out, making the chat go quiet only to get a sighing GIF from Yoongi

'You might want to try a different tactic tonight, Jimin-ah,'-🐨

All of their staff were fast asleep at this point, but the seven boys and Y/n were on the brink of falling asleep. Namjoon and Jin woke up from their slumber because of the continuous messages bombarding them from their group chat.

'You could stay with me,' Taehyung offered

'I can't just leave her here. There are cameras, and when they show all of us waking up one by one, or when a member wakes up the other, we're doomed. They'll wonder why there's one room vacant with not a single member there,'

'You do realise they can edit that out, right?' -🐰

'I don't care. That's just gonna be difficult. I'll take the couch,'

'Uh, Jimin-ah,' Namjoon says sleepily in a voice recording he sent to the group 'There's no couch in your area. We switched rooms remember?' Namjoon chuckles in a sleepy manner before he says 'Just stay in the bed with her and put a pillow in between the two of you, and don't show up in Dreamstate or hide or whatever. Make sure she doesn't see you,'

Present Day: Dreamstate

'So much for hiding' Jimin thinks as he stands in the doorway of the house, a place in the Dreamstate he's been avoiding for years, 'Let's hope she doesn't remember this tomorrow,'

"What are you doing there?" Y/n asks as Jimin looks around the house and the changes that weren't there the last time he stepped in, "Hey," she calls out to him again, this time catching his attention. Jimin's wide eyed glaze met hers and he finally remembered, 'she doesn't remember me'.

"Jimin," she calls after him and to say he was surprised was an understatement "Come in, I'm not gonna bite."

"You know me?" He asks as he slowly walks into the house, still looking around until his eyes land on a crocheted blanket half thrown on the couch, it had the mixture of the colors maroon and dark purple. He remembered starting that project, right after what happened that day and when he was done with it, he mailed it to her, but now he wonders, how did it get here?

"Duhh, I'm your companion," she half rolls her eyes, a habit she unknowingly got from him "I work for you; I should know my boss. Though I am wondering, how can I understand you? As in... fluently..." she trails off "This place is as weird as the day I arrived here,"

"Isn't that how dreams work?" He asks trying to make her believe that she really was in a random dream "You end up understanding whoever is in your dreams?"

"Not sure," she says as she sits on the couch "But, it's not my first time here. I've been able to move around in this house since I was 21. I thought it was some sort of sign that I'm too much of a homebody or something."

Jimin sat on the loveseat, still looking around; alienated but fascinated by how it changed, from the paint to the furniture to the pictures on the mantle, "You alright, Jimin?"

"Yeah, it's just that... I didn't expect you to approach me normally" he lied, then his eyes landed on her. "Why aren't you weirded out that I'm here?"

Y/n smiles then says, "I saw you before. 2019, I think, but you looked very different."

"How different?" He asks out of curiosity, letting his guard down.

"Blonde, drunk... I think, " she says, leaning back on the couch. He winces at the mention of his intoxicated state,"Skinnier," she says in almost a whisper. Jimin suddenly found the carpet interesting. He definitely didn't want to remember that part of his life. That specific week, to be exact. And he knew which moment she was talking about, he wasn't wasted; he was drunk enough to remember his actions though he had no control of his mouth and body, but in this one night, he had control of his words right after she faced him after all those years.

Dreamstate - September 2019 (Jimin, 23/ Yn, 21)

Jimin was fast asleep as soon as his head hit his pillow. He was stressed and wanted to get away from the world; from his life as an idol. He was stressed, depressed and angry, and despite his hyungs giving him quite the conversation after tonight's dinner. He went through the liquor cabinet and drank a few glasses of Yoongi's finest whiskey. He didn't expect it to hit him so hard considering he was one of the few members who had pretty good alcohol tolerance. He was knocked out cold, another thing he didn't expect was he was still drunk when he entered the Dreamstate.

"Ah fuck me," he grumbled "fucking perfect, just perfect" Jimin woke up in the Dreamstate in his usual spot behind a tree that was close to the sands of the beach, overlooking their dark house. Ever since he found that spot, it became a default that he would pop up there than in the house like he did when he was younger. It was almost as if the Dreamstate was a living environment that gave them full control on their decisions and requests. Hence, when they want something it would be given to them instantly almost magically.

Jimin walked - more like stumbled - further away from the house and to the beach, and plopped his behind on the sand as he stared at the vast ocean of the Dreamstate. Slowly his eyes caught the attention of the sky where the millions of stars sparkled in the night like glitters and the crescent moon smiling at him like a mischievous Cheshire cat. As his drunken mind pictured the smile, he grew angrier and frustrated. He got up and stumbled on his feet as he got closer to the water.

"Are you fucking happy?!" He yelled at the sky, as if the Dreamstate was a person "You give her to me, only to take her away and now my life is slowly becoming ruined," cries as he kicked the sand multiple times, making it fly everywhere. Spotting a rock the size of his palm he grabs it at hurls it at the open water yelling with all his might.

Out of breath from thrashing around, he eventually falls to his knees as he looks up again at the stars heartbroken and in a small, feeble voice he asks "Why?"

Jimin leaned forward, resting his head on top his hands as he cried "Why are you punishing me like this? I did nothing but love her the day you gave her to me. Don't take her away from me, please. I beg you. I'll do anything. Just bring her back to me. I just want her back. Please."

Eventually, Jimin stopped crying and somewhat sobered up. Still kneeling, he wipes his hands on clean part of his jeans that didn't have sand. Slightly wobbling on his legs as he gets up, he wipes his face with his forearms as he turns towards the house. On his walk, he turns to the area where he made a mess and lost his mind, then something glowed in the sand catching his attention. Bending down he picks it up gently. He dropped it. Not again.

"You're a real piece of work, Park Jimin," he scolds himself as he puts the item in his front pocket amd continues his walk towards the house. Looking up at the front porch he stops in his tracks, his breath caught on his throat as he stares at the sight before him. As if someone poured iced water down his back, he stares in disbelief.

"Woah," he heard her say to herself in awe, not noticing his presence "It's so pretty," the lights of the house slowly open as if to welcome her, reminding him of the first time they met and all the lights turned on.

They were around the age of 12 Y/n said that the lights remind her of enchanted torches that would light someone's way, usually towards hidden treasure; some sort of blessing from God. The lights turning on in our house is a blessing from God or whatever Higher Power is out there. He didn't want to believe it but in that moment, he believed in her words. She was a blessing to him. She was his treasure. And the sight of the house lighting up for the first time in six months reminded him of her words. Y/n just finished looking around the other rooms when she walked to the living room where she spotted the floor to ceiling glass windows, next to a door that gave access to the beach. She stopped in front of the door when she spotted Jimin who looked at her with tearful eyes.

"Jagiya..." he croaked, voice hoarse from his outrage earlier, as their eyes met.

But Y/n just looked at him, slowly her eyebrows furrowed in question. 'Who's that?' She wonders, slightly tilting her head in wonder. Jimin knew that action well enough to know that the doctors were right. She doesn't remember him, that simply means it's far worse when she wakes up. Jimin quietly sobbed bowing his head as he let the tears fall from his eyes. He was exhausted. He's had enough for today. Slowly turning around he walks towards the beach as he wills himself to wake up, the Dreamstate let him leave only to hear the glass door if the front porch open and Y/n's voice calling after him, but not by his name. Hobi woke up to the sound of screaming and crying, the other members had come into his and Hobi's shared room after Hobi called for Namjoon and Jin to help. At first he was mumbling in his sleep, thrashing around then he stopped, only to start crying followed by the Jimin bawling in his sleep. He wouldn't wake up at first which scared all of them considering they knew what was happening and they didn't fully know if you could get stuck in the Dreamstate. The older members had a moment of pity and regret when Jimin wouldn't wake up despite them shaking him to wake up, Hoseok was behind Jimin slightly pulling him in a sitting position only for Jimin to slightly slide as he kept thrashing. The older members regretted scolding him in the dining table earlier that evening after he arrived home from Paris and his privacy was invaded by the paparazzi who created a scandal about him when all he wanted was time away from the world; time away to forget he was an idol even just for a few days, time to heal from what he was dealing with when the cameras weren't pointed at him, time to forget and pretend that he didn't have a soulmate who has been asleep for too long.

"Jimin-ah," Namjoon shook his shoulders, the others were trying their best too, tapping his thigh, his arms, wiping his tears away, holding his hand. Their hearts broke at the sight, never seeing anything like what happening to Jimin.

Over the years there were times Jimin would wake up angry probably from and argument with Y/n while in the Dreamstate, sometimes he would wake up with a sad look on his face and they would ask if he was okay he would simply say that he was happy he wasn't ready to wake up yet. It was rare sight to see him cry in his sleep, but this was the worst one.

"Hyung, wake up please," Jungkook tried waking him up "You're scaring us,"

"Hyung, call Bang PD-nim or Sejin hyung," Yoongi instructed Jin who felt the most guilty after scolding Jimin more than Namjoon did. He couldn't look away and Yoongi had to shake his arm to snap out if his frozen state. Taking his phone out with shaky hands he dials Sejin, the last thing he wanted was for the producer to panic.

"S-Sejin hyung?" He stammered as the manager picked up.

"Jin, it's too early-"

"Hyung, I'm really sorry to wake you, but Jimin..."

"What about Jimin?" He asks groggily

"He won't wake up, hyung," Jin cried, all the boy couldn't hold their tears back as they panicked "We're trying out best but he won't wake up from the Dreamstate,"

"I'm on my way," Sejin said in a clearer voice as if it woke him up.

"Jimin-ah, wake up," Taehyung kept shaking his best friend "Please,"

"I'm sorry for yelling at you, Jimin-ah," Jin said as he tried to wake Jimin.

"We're all sorry," Namjoon said " Please wake up."

As time passed, Jimin's thrashing diminished but now he was getting warmer under Hobi's palms.

"Jungkook-ah, get a towel and run it under cold water," he instructed the youngest. "Hurry, he's warm, too warm,"

Jin ran to the front door of their door as their doorbell rang. Sejin burst through the door as soon as it opened, with Bang Sihyuk right behind him and ran to Jimin and Hobi's room.

"Anything?" Sihyuk asked them only for Hobi to respond "He still won't wake up, but he fever started,"

"That's a good sign" he said as Jungkook handed the cold wet towel to Hobi.

"I don't understand, why is he getting sick?" Jungkook asked wiping his tears "He was alright when he went to bed"

"You never took the free classes that followed Soulmate 101, didn't you?" Namjoon asked him as he watched Hobi gently run the cloth on Jimin's face, neck and arms as an attempt to bring down the temperature. Jin and Jungkook stared at Namjoon as if he grew an extra pair of heads, "What? You mean there's more than one class?" Namjoon, Hobi and Taehyung nodded while Yoongi answered "It's a common phase when heartbroken and sad to go through sleepless nights according to a few studies, but being unable to wake up from the Dreamstate was rare. If it were common, a lot of people would be hospitalized for being stuck there. Getting sick is usually a sign that the heartbreak and sadness is coming to an end, but it could also be a sign of anger and devastation. The upside is, getting sick also means that there's a possibility of waking up soon."

Yoongi's explanation made Jin and Jungkook's head want to explode, but it made sense. "That explains why you got really sick last time,"

"Yeah, we met my soulmate for the first time in the Dreamstate and I raised my voice by accident," Jin nodded "It upset her too much that she woke up, but instead of her getting sick I got sick because of the guilt and panic that she would reject me. She didn't show up until a week after I got sick."

They stared at Jimin as he started mumbling in his sleep, causing Namjoon to start shaking his shoulder again.

"Jimin-ah, wake up, kid" he whispered "Everything will get better, I promise. Wake up for us please. We're deeply sorry for what we did and what you're going through," With no response from Jimin's sleeping form, Jungkook left briefly to find another face towel to soak in cold water, but the reason behind it was he wanted to cry away from the eyes of his hyungs.

Present day: Dreamstate

"You're wrong," he tried to lie "I'm simply a manifestation of your mind; your subconscious"

"Huh?" Y/n huffed l, not believing him "Then why aren't you Namjoon instead," Jimin shrugged with a look on his face that said 'You tell me'.

"Jimin was probably the last person you saw, or" he paused dramatically, "He was probably the last person on your mind before you fell asleep,"

Y/n avoided his eyes guiltily, 'Gotcha' Jimin smirked triumphantly, "So you think about him?" He question "Is it often? If so, how often?" he leaned forward comically as if he was gossiping. Y/n scoffed leaning back in her chair, "Don't be ridiculous," he mirrored her actions.

"Y/n, be serious," he continued to mock her the way he would do to Jungkook, but in his head he was relieved that she momentarily forgot about him being familiar to her in the Dreamstate.

"I haven't had a visitor here before," she said quietly, almost in a whisper "Could you explain why I saw you years ago?" Jimin gulped, but kept his appearance up "I won't be able to answer your question about that, honestly. Because, I don't know either. You've probably seen a music video or picture of Jimin before." He shrugged again.

She hummed in agreement "Most probably,"

"So, why did you manifest me here?" He asks her

"You tell me, what the fuck are you doing here?" She bursted meeting his eyes.

"Ah," he sighed frustrated, raising an eyebrow at her. Something he'd do before he broke out in satoori, she recognised, but strangely enough the heavy satoori scolding didn't happen, insteadshe understood it fully "Don't curse. This is a peaceful place to be, don't stain it with your foul mouth,"

"Alright... Jimin," she said, eyeing him "since you're just a manifestation of my subconsciousness. You probably remember more than I do. Tell me what you know,"

'Fuck' Jimin cursed in his head repeatedly 'Ah shit... Yoongi hyung was right. I'm in trouble,'

Jimin hummed as he pretended to think about it, a finger tapping his lips, "And what good will it do to me? Any benefits from spilling your old memories? Or at least details,"

"It's more of a selfish thing," she said "Pity me, I've been here almost everyday for the past what? Three years? I don't know a single thing about this place; I'm about to lose my mind. Spare me a few details,"

"Okay," Jimin dared after a minute "Under one condition,"

"Name it," she accepted without missing a beat.

"It's pretty cliché, but since you accepted it... when you're awake, and if you feel like you're falling for Jimin or if you remember anything... or everything. Kiss him," he said. "And I don't mean peck on the lips. A real kiss."

"Of all the things," she scoffed "Why that?"

"Because deep inside you're curious and it might ease your mind," he hoped for both of them

"More like, it will get me fired," she rubbed her hands on her face in frustration

"We both know that's not true," Jimin leaned again to reach for her hands. When his hand made contact with hers, she jumped at the sensation of his hands. It felt real. She took his hands gently in hers, it felt the same way they held hands when she fixed his cufflinks. Now her curiosity was through the roof.

"Okay," she gave up.

"Good," he sighed as he looked at their interlocking hands as she explored every line on his hands like a fortune teller would, "We start tomorrow,"

"What? Why? Why not now?" She asked, startled. Jimin cocked his head towards the glass windows with a soft smile, it was sunrise. "Oh," she said sadly, seeing the sight "Fine," she sighed, looking up to his eyes that held more emotions than what she think her subconsciousness would've held. But then again, what does she know. She doesn't remember anything before she woke up in September of 2019.

Time to put out some theorizes & thoughts because this is what’s keeping me sane until the movie comes out.

The movie starts with Zoey but let’s skip to the part we all want. Quinn & Logan

Quinn announces her engagement by asking Zoey to be her Maid of Honor. Zoey is all excited but probably starts thinking about her life and the drama she has with her ex-chase

There’s a line Quinn says that has me thinking. “It’ll be the reunion WE all need” what if Quinn was having a few doubts or worries already about the wedding. Logan is obviously as smitten with her as he was 15yrs ago and the diamond ring she wear is a big one. What if part of Quinn wants the wedding to be a nice little reunion of how high school was. Full of crazy shenanigans but at the end of the day all is well

Next we see Zoey’s boss is a clear jerk. Telling her to cancel all plans, that he doesn’t care. This is so the type of boss that expects you to come in even if you’re in the hospital. Maybe he changes his mind once he hears the name Logan Reese or Quinn Pensky. I have no doubt that they’re both wildly successful & rich & famous. Maybe he thinks getting in good with the son of a famous producer will be good for the show. So he lets Zoey go but demands she answers whenever he calls

Zoey gets herself a fake boyfriend because she feels like a failure in life. This was Zoey Brooks. The girl who had it made in high school but she sees her friends are living the life she thought she would. Meanwhile Quinn at this point seems maybe a little overwhelmed with the big engagement party Logan has thrown. She is already a little apprehensive about the big party and then Zoey makes her appearance

These two images of the three screaming & Zoey showing up will never not be funny

We have Quinn already a little on edge and Zoey is not helping. She made an entrance that took away the attention off the main couple and onto her. That is wedding etiquette 101, the focus is on the couple & no one else

The scene above makes it seem like Quinn is comforting Zoey when it should be the other around.

But Zoey being Zoey, seems so focused trying to prove she’s still the same girl from high school that she focuses more on her fake life than her supposed best friend. I feel like Zoey didn’t tell them the whole truth about her job. She probably made them believe she is some big shot when she’s most likely a PA.

This scene where her real life daughter’s make a cameo, they ask if the car she’s driving is the one from the reality show she works on and she looks almost scared as she says no

Her & Chase go to get the rings because she forgot to get them before. Bad MOH! In the trailer she & chase seem to run out of the place laughing. I wonder if they messed with the ring order.

The perfect wedding Logan is demanding is most likely not going how he planned. We know Logan, he likes things his way or the highway. He’s a perfectionist/narcissist but in a good way. He wants this wedding to be about him & Quinn but also showing off to everyone who doubted him or said they’d never make it, look at him now

This does not help Quinn’s stress & worry. Zoey’s bad MOH speech helps even less and only makes her feel more stressed out

Then the day of the wedding arrives but it’s the finale of her show. And of course her focus is not where it should be. The one guy from the showed said he needs to talk with Zoey before Tahoe even goes to the wedding

I’m betting that during the ceremony instead of listening to the wedding she is focusing on the show. And during the part where they ask if anyone has any objections please speak now. Which also will have someone from her show asking a question and she responds out loud but Quinn thinks that her best friend, the girl who always gave the best advice is speaking to her

This spoiler scene tells me that Quinn just feels so overwhelmed & can’t handle it. That she wanted her wedding to be about her & Logan and instead it’s a big show and her supposed best friend hasn’t been there for her and only added to her stress. And what do people do when they’re overwhelmed & stressed out? They shut down and get away

These are just my thoughts on what could possibly happen. What do you guys think?

Hiya 👋

My name is Rachel (she/her/hers) and in the year 2010 when I was in high school, I created this tumblr:

At the time my main fandoms were Disney, Bones, One Direction, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, DC comics, and all other types of media I consumed in high school. Here is me showing off my love of boybands during my Sweet Sixteen photoshoot.

Present day, I still go by Rachel and the same pronouns. My interests are similiar with a bit more 90's/2000's teen drama and nostalgia thrown in there. I have a doctorate degree in Leadership for Organizations, but you do not need to call me Dr. Rachel (unless you are into that kinda thing). I am married to @gumbohotdish who I met at the local library where I worked many years ago. I do research for Once Upon A Coaster Podcast. This is what I look like now:

If you made it this far you must be one of my most prized followers thus I offer you a strawberry as large as your head for you to snack on later. The rest of my media links are below!

Neopets Tumblr:

Disney Tumblr:

Porch Goose Instagram: @gertiepgoose

Theme Park Instagram: @supportlocalthemeparks

Hugs,

Rachel ✨️

YESSSSSSSSS WRITING TAG TIMEEEEE EHEHHEHEHEHHEHEEEE

1, 5, 12, 16, 19, and 20

P.S: check more of your asks!!!! >:3

YIPEEE thanks kiki sorry it took me a bit to do this

1- the last sentence you wrote

“Oh my god, her voice must have risen like, three octaves when you smiled at her. “

some luz dialogue from luz & hunter’s guide, talking about willow to hunter, lmao

5- first sentence of the fifth paragraph of an unfinished wip

“The gods of the pantheon seem to have their doubts, not seeing the greatness his uncle does in him.”

wow i had to pull this one from the VAULTS. i don’t actually have any current wip drafts (just a ton of loosely planned ideas) so this one is from like 2022. it’s an owl house mythology au loosely based off of hades (the video game) in which the golden guard gets reincarnated over and over and tries to escape. i like the concept but have no idea what the plot would be so on the shelf it will sit until i figure that out

12- a trope you’re really into right now

hmmmm not really a fanfic trope but ive been thinking a lot about crouching moron, hidden badass. specifically the variant where a character is deliberately hiding how badass they actually are by acting like a moron, at least partially. invoking this trope is like, how to make that character my favorite character 101.

as for fanfic tropes. uh. a favorite of mine that never gets old is childhood friends to enemies to friends to lovers. so many of the ships that have been giving me brain worms throughout the last 5 or so years fall in this category. *cough* sashanne *cough* narumitsu *cough COUGH* catradora. it’s the layer of being previously childhood friends and having that past pure and unconditional friendship. and then having that all torn apart and then rebuilt again. S-tier drama.

16- favorite place to write

99% of my writing is done in my bed bc im paranoid that if i wrote at my desk my parents would be able to see because they tend to randomly barge into my room. when im at college i tend to write a lot less but at least i can do it at my desk lmao

19- the most interesting topic you’ve researched for a fic

for ‘the girl, the cat, and the black hole calamity’ i went down quite the rabbit hole of archaic and modern physics concepts like entropy, black holes & atomic decay. it was very fun and absolutely none of it ended up in the fic because i was like. why would 13yo anne care about this nerdy physics stuff lmao

i also have researched a lot (A LOT) of archetypal literature, historical figures, jungian psych, & various myths (specifically irish myth) which is on paper for the persona 5 swap au fic that im never gonna write buuuuut mostly was out of my own curiosity. when i was first learning how to write i read up on archetypical literature and campbell and stuff quite a bit so it was very fun to revisit. also this swap au lives in my brain rent-free. it would theoretically be a longfic covering the events of the entire game but i can’t do that. but im gonna have to do SOMETHING with it considering the sheer amount of effort ive put into the planning and reworking all of the main cast’s personas to the point where im pretty sure ive put more thought into my picks than the original p5 writers lmao

20- in what year did you publish your first fic?

cannot be bothered to find the exact year but i know i was 13 so probably 2016 or 2017. yknow what’s funny is i spent most of middle and high school thinking that when i got to college i’d stop writing fic and doing fandom stuff in general and yet here i am, going into my senior year of college, still on the same fandom clownery that i was 8 years ago. lmao.

#bee post #ask meme #ask #thanks kiki bestie i love you #bee writes #<- eh kinda i might get rid of that tag

“I hear you’re making a movie about a fish,” the cinematographer Bill Butler said to the young director Steven Spielberg when they bumped into each other on the Universal lot in 1974. Butler, then in his early 50s, had already shot two projects for Spielberg – the TV movie Something Evil (1972) and Savage (1973), a pilot that was not taken up as a series. But it was their collaboration on the “fish movie” that cemented their reputations.

Summer was not previously regarded as an optimum time to release a big studio picture, which is why Jaws (1975), which flooded screens across the US rather than trickling out in stages, is considered the first summer blockbuster – though its finesse and skill, not to mention an intimate second half in which the cast dwindles to three men and a largely unseen shark, give it little in common with the sort of crash-bang-wallop productions that followed in its wake.

It remains one of the finest slow-burning suspense movies outside Hitchcock in his heyday, due in no small part to the cinematography by Butler, who has died aged 101. The production was besieged with difficulties but in 2003 Spielberg called him “the calm before, during and after every storm on the set of Jaws”.

Butler shot about 90% of the ocean scenes with a handheld Panaflex camera for greater flexibility and immediacy. Borrowing a trick he had picked up while shooting second unit on the thriller Deliverance (1972), he also made a transparent box into which the camera was placed to allow for shooting at water level. The effect, he explained, was dramatic and instantaneous. “The big advantage is that psychologically you’re asking: ‘What’s right below the water? Is that shark right there?’” Shots of the thrashing legs of oblivious swimmers “made the audience think: ‘That must look good to a shark. It looks like dinner time.’”

Jaws was one of two best picture Oscar nominees that year in which Butler had a hand, the other being Miloš Forman’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the eventual winner, based on Ken Kesey’s novel about patients in a psychiatric hospital. Butler was Oscar-nominated for Forman’s film along with Haskell Wexler, who had shot the lion’s share of the footage before being sacked. It was a stormy set, with the actor Jack Nicholson refusing to speak to the director and communicating instead with Wexler and then Butler, who reportedly shot everything from the climactic party scene onwards. A year earlier he had replaced Wexler on Francis Ford Coppola’s brooding surveillance thriller The Conversation (1974).

After Jaws, Butler’s biggest commercial successes were the musical Grease (1978) as well as three consecutive sequels to Sylvester Stallone’s 1976 boxing drama Rocky, beginning with Rocky II (1979). Butler brought a special vitality to the fight scenes in the series, occasionally shooting with as many as eight cameras simultaneously. “As carefully as we planned, there were times when we expected to pan left and something unexpected happened, and we needed to go to the right or zoom instead,” he said. “When an actor slipped, we caught the expression of surprise on his face.”

Some projects even he couldn’t save. Can’t Stop the Music (1980), a vehicle for the disco group the Village People, was a flop that later acquired a cult following. That honour eluded another musical, Graffiti Bridge (1990), starring and directed by Prince. It was shot by Butler, once again serving as an 11th-hour replacement, at the singer’s Paisley Park studios near Minneapolis.

Butler was born in Cripple Creek, Colorado, to Wilmer, a farmer, and Verca, a psychiatric nurse. The family moved to Henry county, Georgia, when he was five, then on to Mount Pleasant, Iowa. He was educated at Mount Pleasant high school and received a degree in engineering from the University of Iowa, where he became fascinated with cameras. He worked for four years as a radio station engineer while also setting up a television station that was later sold to ABC.

Next he got a job at the Chicago-based WGN-TV, where he met the director William Friedkin. Their documentary The People Vs Paul Crump (1962), about an African American man on death row, was screened for Otto Kerner, the governor of Illinois, in rough-cut form the night before Crump was due to be executed. Examining the evidence presented in the film, Kerner changed the sentence to life without parole. “I remember thinking: ‘My God, film has this kind of power?’” said Butler. “That little 16mm film saved someone’s life.”

For Philip Kaufman, Butler shot Fearless Frank (1967), starring Jon Voight as a man who is killed then resurrected as a superhero crime-fighter. He collaborated for the first time with Coppola on the director’s road movie The Rain People (1969), then shot Nicholson’s directorial debut, Drive, He Said (1971).

Among his later credits are the baseball comedy-drama The Bingo Long Travelling All-Stars & Motor Kings, the rape revenge thriller Lipstick (both 1976), Demon Seed, in which Julie Christie is impregnated by a malevolent computer, the conspiracy thriller Capricorn One (both 1977), the horror sequel Damien: Omen II (1978) and two military comedies, Stripes (1981) and Biloxi Blues (1988).

Butler was lauded for his television work: he won an Emmy each for Raid on Entebbe (1976), based on a real-life hostage rescue mission in Uganda, and an adaptation of A Streetcar Named Desire (1984) starring Ann-Margret as Blanche DuBois. He was nominated for another for shooting the steamy mini-series The Thorn Birds (1983).

In 1997 he shot a pair of films that echoed his past glories: the monster movie Anaconda owed more than a little to Jaws, while Don King: Only in America, made for TV, utilised his expertise in rendering ring-craft. For the latter, Butler built a box camera that the actor Danny Johnson, who played the world heavyweight champion Larry Holmes, could physically attack. Johnson “pulverised the lens”, said the director, John Herzfeld. “He literally beat it to shit. You’re completely in a subjective point of view.”

Butler maintained that the 1970s were the “perfect time” for him to make his name. “It was a merging of a lot of film styles that up until then had been very staid, very straightforward. There were certain rules you didn’t break, except I was one of those people that came to break all the rules.”

He is survived by his second wife, Iris (nee Schwimmer), their children, Genevieve and Chelsea, and three daughters, Judy, Patricia and Pam, from his first marriage, to Alma (nee Smith), which ended in divorce in 1983.
