I MAY SOUND CRAZY, BUT HEAR ME OUTTT

(Spoiler from AOT and some graphic scenes)

This is eremin, and I'll tell you why.

First, this is the only parts where Armin is focused in the video, like, at all.

Second. "Let me shoulder your sins together with you"

And is the scene, the one were Armin and Eren talk about the outside, the one were their dream to be free (together) begins.

It was their sin, since freedom was something forbidden, not only because the walls and it's ruler, but because they were Eldians, they were born as Eldians and their freedom was forbidden. It is their Original Sin.

"People may not call it love" "And we won't be blessed"

Still, Armin is on screen!!!!

as much as i agree with your analysis and the fact that ctdenm seems to be treating the girls better, a part of me can’t help but worry that similar things are happening behind the scenes, much like how bbc seemed to be a relatively healthy and positive working environment early on

The myth that bbc was healthy and positive early on simply isn't true, sadly. Even recently, Vivi talked on the radio show she did about predebut stories, about how she learnt Korean quickly by arguing with staff so she could eat what she wanted amongst fighting for her other rights - and this would've been back in late 2015 early 2016. When trainee line (Basically oec, 1/3 and yeojin) were in the company before joining loona officially, that was when they were on the infamous 1 apple 1 egg a day diet. Even though yyxy were the most open about their mistreatment, that it was the worst during love4eva filming, and bad during hi high era and butterfly era, it was still bad before yyxy girls joined - the other girls are just far less open about it. This might be because the yyxy girls had such a short trainee period and therefore weren't as adjusted/indoctrinated into the trainee lifestyle to accept strict dieting and verbal abuse, or it might be because it's simply not in their temperament to talk about these issues, or whatever reasons they might have to want to share less in comparison to the yyxy girls, though yeojin and vivi have been opening up more about the past. I'm curious, did you have a specific time period where you thought BBC was a healthy working environment for the girls in mind?

If youre thinking about old loona TVs, BBC has always had staff that were very kind to the girls, that the girls loved and treated them well. The current CTD CEO, Yoon Doyeon is an example, as well as Lee Jonghyun, their old Project Manager and current Superbell CEO. At the same time they had to endure verbal abuse from certain other staff (this doesn't mean Jaden, there were other staff who were horrible or even worse than him), strict dieting and torturous schedules amongst other mistreatment that went beyond ordinary idol strictness. The loona TVs always made a deceptive effort to show the girls eating well early on, laughing and having fun etc, but we know it's a complete misrepresentation compared to what was happening behind the scenes.

When we have the girls transparently telling us via Fromm and Fab that CTD do not control or care what they eat, that they are 100% deciding for themselves, that exercise is up to them, that CTD's CEO paid for almost everything in Hyunjin's new apartment including a super expensive humidifier just because she asked for one, that CTD involved them in the album despite how quickly the album needed to be turned out because CEO cares about their creative input, it inspires a lot more trust.

I genuinely believe Doyeon is a good man who wants to take care of our girls. He gave up his job and started a company to become CEO in a role he had never tried before solely to give the 5 members a place where they would be safe and happy with someone they trusted (instead of risking getting taken advantage of again at another company) and could continue their careers, and has been listening to everything both the members and fans have been asking of him. I know Hyeju has said that this album prep era has been her favourite of her career, and I believe her. Right now the girls are actually enjoying their time in the US, eating whatever they like, having enough time for rest, actually seeing the sights of America this time. It's only the first stop but hopefully they can keep this up and have this experience knock the previous tour out of the water.

We can't trust a company 100% of the time without being there and witnessing exactly what's happening, but compared to Modhaus where we had Jaden lie to us about Jinsoul being involved in production in literally their first interview, exercises and diets being enforced, and OEC being marketed to NFT bros and military men, I just feel so much more confident about CTD's ability to treat the girls right.

“why can’t I make money off my fic on ao3” because it’s what caused the fanfic purges in the first place. it is borderline, if not totally, illegal. you will tank the site for yourself and everyone else.

ao3 is already fighting for its LIFE across various courts/jurisdictions to make sure you have the right to upload whatever the hell you want. the only reason they’ve won so far is because their TOS ban direct profit off of characters/media.

I made a playlist for Don’t Go Blindly Into The Dark but I think it might be counterproductive because I seem to be spending more time screaming the lyrics to Icarus by Bastille (Jesper), Search and Destroy by Florence + the Machine (Wylan), and Common People by Pulp (impeccable Wesper vibesssssss) than I do actually writing anything

I have a question for any Bl enthusiasts who are also psychologists or related:

What is up with the attitude of Thai BL fans towards r*pe? I don't mean the attitude of Thailand towards it, that is infamous, I mean of Thai BL fans, who I assume are multiple nationalities, towards r*pe in their fanfiction.

Because kpop fanfic, Korean fanfic, even Chinese fandoms like MXTX (and God knows how many fucked up themes exist in that tag; Dark LZ is a warning on it's own – as it should be) put noncon or atlease dubcon (even if the fic leans disproportionately towards noncon) ratings. Thai fic? Nada!

This is specifically prevalant in Kinnporsche. Idk if the writers in this specific fandom are newbies (they still tag everything as RPF - Google is free, atleast look up the meaning) but if I don't want to read r*pe, why does your fic have rape in the second chapter with "No archive warnings apply" tagged? That is a big fucking warning!

And no, because the victim decided they wanted it after all (when they are already stripped and mauled) after a chapter and a half exactly consisting of the rapists thoughts on how their urges trump the victim's consent – after having their unwanted advances repeatedly rejected – does not constitute "enthusiastic consent" – which is the only acceptable form of consent.

Just because they are endgame does not mean one of them can do as they like because they will end up together anyway. NO. The pairing I fell for constitutes characters who are respectful of each other. If one morphs into something that violates the entire personality of the character I love and turns into a deplorable monster with the same name, that is not enough for me to want them together.

In that specific fic, I would want the victim to run. But no, both have gone through an absolute personality change within one night, here, KimChay turning into what would've been if Nampheung had given into Korn after being violated, and I just want this rendition of Kim to die violently at Chay's hands. And all three brothers too, for allowing this to happen (though I guess KinnPorche have set a track record).
