#Hans really deserved it

After training with Bernard

[transsongtaewon]

I don't think Yoohyun is agender I think he's gender apathetic. No he doesn't have a gender and no he doesn't really care. He's a guy by virtue of people calling him that so he just goes with it because it's not like he cares.

One time he walks in on Yerim doing her e-shot and asks her what she's doing and she says "I'm trans? You didn't know that???" and he say "no what do you mean"

And Yerim sits there for a second and contemplates if she wants to Explain Trans to Yoohyun of all people but they literally live together so maybe he should get the basics so she says "you know, because when I was born they said I was a boy but I'm actually a girl?"

And Yoohyun is like "what"

And Yerim is like "cause I feel like a girl"

And Yoohyun is like "what does that even mean"

And Yerim in her endless grace tries to explain "you know how when you were born they thought you're a boy and you feel good as a boy and if everyone suddenly started calling you a girl and treating you like a woman you'd feel really bad"

To which Yoohyun says "no, not really, why would I care what other people call me"

And then they stare at each other for a few seconds and Yerim decides that explaining "non-binary" or even "agender" to Yoohyun sounds like the stuff of nightmares so she just doesn't cause he seems happy enough as is anyway.

(also if she pursued this to the end they may get to a point where Yoohyun realises he's not actually Yoojin's younger brother so he couldn't call him hyung anymore and she thinks if that happened Yoohyun would probably spontaneously implode)

all of them are perfect for a slice of life

they’re so close, kdj and ysa are coworkers, kdj takes the train one train car away from yjh, jhw works at a bar not too far, kdj loves web novels and hsy writes them, the kids both have shitty parents and would probably love somewhere where they could stay, ljh could watch yjh play competitive games and look up to him, and lhs… is in the military

(a way to have him in would be quitting the military and being incredibly listless until someone (yjh or kdj) gives him purpose again. he could yjh’s bodyguard)

(why does yjh need a body guard? don’t ask me. anyway imagine all the fan edits of him lol, “supreme kings body guard being cute for 5 minutes straight”)

yjh does like, martial arts instructing on the side and that’s how he meets ljh, and knw (ljh and knw are in the same class and ljh beats the shit out of him)

han donghoon interns at minosoft, him and kdj bond over web novels and online stuff. being the main quiet guy hdh gravitates toward kdj

maybe lgy and sys go to school together (idk where either of them are exactly from but now they live close cause i said so) and they take the train together alone

kdj sees them like everyday and does his thing where in his head he’s like “ugh i’m a terrible guy who is just a bystander to this kids who are alone” and then does little kind acts for them

they only see each other in the morning cause the kids get out of school much earlier than kdj gets out of work, and he like gives up his seat to them regularly if he gets one, makes sure they don’t get jostled, eventually gives them little snacks for breakfast when it’s clear he’s not a weirdo

if yjh is nearby, and so are the lgy and sys, then they could go to school with yma

just all of them being interconnected

like kdj and ysa are friends with jhw who’s friends with/dating lhs who’s friends/works with yjh who’s little sister yma goes to school with sys and lgy, who interact with kdj on the train everyday, and kdj is online friends with hsy who is irl friends with yjh

I was thinking about the main 9-1-1 pairings and just had the most massive brain fart:

From what I can recall, Bathena's wedding and Henren's wedding were largely uneventful the day of. No lost spouse. No sudden emergency. No cold feet. NADA. Just a good vibes day.

But for the day of the Madney wedding, it resulted in Chimney getting a brain virus that sent him around LA with fragments of his memory and ended with him in a hospital bed. (though the hospital wedding was adorable)

Pretty much insane.

So for Bathena and Henren, chill wedding day.

For Madney, crazy wedding day.

So by that logic, Buck and Eddie's wedding day might be CHAOS.

[coderooster]

As much as I don't want this to happen for them because they deserve another baby so much, what if Maddie has to have an abortion for medical reasons?

It could be such a powerful storyline, especially with the way American politics is going, and it would give both Kenny and Jennifer a really good opportunity to ACT.

And with the way Jennifer is teasing her upcoming storyline being really challenging to do... idk.

[sickofthistoxicshit]

I rewatched Chicago fire's Cruz and Chloe wedding last night and all I could think of was that this is how the Madney's wedding should have been!!

It's what Madney deserved!!

[dracocheesecake]

Pangolin....cute. 🥺💖💖💖

I love this little morally ambiguous pinecone. Seriously am I the only one who loves him?

[lyxchen]

I wouldn't be so upset about Kitty/Min Ho if they hadn't completely destroyed everything Yuri has. They took away her girlfriend, her friendship with Kitty and they gave her financial problems now too. What is the point of that? That Juliana breakup, especially because she kissed Kitty could have been a setup to have her get with Kitty. But they didn't do that. They put Kitty with Min Ho, which could be a very cute relationship but still took away Yuri's chance of getting back with Juliana. I just don't get it

Hot take: Hans was a great villain, some of you cannot get over your crush on him to see that the villain twist not only makes sense, but is important for Anna’s character especially.

How oftentimes, growing up in sheltered environments makes people more susceptible to be manipulated… which Anna was. To show how her desperation of love could be used against her by people who don’t really give a shit about her.

[maraskywalkers]

we have so little context for the next episode so I just keep imagining Madney reuniting and being all sweet and sappy and Chim staring at Maddie in her dress, whether it messed up or not, saying she's the most beautiful person he's ever seen and that of course he's okay he gets to marry her today it's the best day of his life second only to their daughter being born and they cry and kiss and it's beautiful

requited unrequited

so there was something going around a while ago when people where discussing 'requited unrequited' and how it's hilarious,

i didn't think too hard about it but like yes ITS SO FUNNY

the idea that both parties think the other has a crush on them and is too polite/embarrassed to shoot them down

and then their actual respective love interests are losing their mind

ITS GOLD ITS FUNNY WHAT DO YOU MEAN

and i deadass haven't seen a single fic like this, can someone drop a fic rec if they know anything and they belong to the following fandoms????

Sometimes, I really want an animated show about the OT characters. Their adventures, serious and silly, as they become friends and family long before Luke and Leia discover that they're siblings. Stories about Leia struggling with going from princess to general. Luke struggling with being a Jedi and a commander. The Rogue Squadron and their adventures. Han and Chewie barely keeping up with the Space Twin shenanigans.

But, then I remember how each of these characters were treated in the Sequel Trilogy, and I realise that it doesn't matter. No amount of stories about them will change the fact that they all die alone away from each other, that they gave up their childhood, their homes, themselves to the safety of the galaxy and that none of it ever mattered. And I can't enjoy canon stories about them because it won't change their ending, and I can't forget that.

Jonathan (1970, dir. Hans W. Geißendörfer, German)

[sirenofthegreenbanks]

the "han ying shows up and kills himself out of love" storyline has started and i have thoughts

or: me ping-ponging the entire situation around in my head and examining it from every angle

(putting it under the cut, its gotten long!!! i have Feelings about this aa!!)

everytime han ying and zhou zishu chat i wonder if things could be easier if zhou zishu were a bit more candid about what he means. i mean he very clearly and undeniably tells han ying oftentimes that his life is precious and he should not waste it on zhou zishu. so clearly han ying underestimating what he means to zhou zishu, what value he has at all as a person, is not because zhou zishu didnt do his utmost to communicate it to him.

but im pretty certain that f.e. if zhou zishu would explain why han ying's hunt for the glazed armour specifically is such a stupid thing to do, han ying would probably understand him better and maybe do something else, something that doesnt cost his own life. then again, zhou zishu rejecting the glazed armour is a big part of him not wanting to live, as he doesnt actually know yet, at the time they last see each other, why betting on the mysterious ying-yang book is a bad idea; he only learns that later from long que and doesnt see han ying anymore until he shows up covered in blood. there is simply no way to tell han ying about what a bad idea it is until its too late.

but there is another reason why zhou zishu is rejecting the armoury's mysterious treasures, and that has to do with his worldliness and his experience with such things. nothing is ever as good as it sounds. in word of honor, such magical artifacts and secret techniques won''t solve the true problem, and zhou zishu knows that. he is (understandably) wary, which is later then confirmed to be a good idea. he could have told han ying that a bit more clearly, and as han ying's former superior and the one who taught him everything, han ying might have taken him seriously.

i do wonder if han ying is already aware of what a bad idea it actually is. han ying has served powerful man all his life and was carefully groomed to die in their service, so his worldliness and experience is a bit hazy. its difficult to say what his own thoughts are regarding the matter, we dont see enough of him to know that. its hard to say whether he would have betted everything he has on the glazed armour just to save zhou zishu, if the person in question were anyone else. he seems to lose his brains whenever zhou zishu is involved lmao. in his scenes we see han ying always in a role of service, never his own person, so its hard to say. judging by his attitude, he is either fully convinced the glazed armour truly is the key of all keys (heh!) or he is truly that desperate.

whatever it is, han ying can tell that zhou zishu doesnt want to live. between all the uncertainties, that is the single sure thing. he can tell that zhou zishu would have said no, no matter what. zhou zishu's relationship with wanting to live and choosing to die is very complicated, he hasn't truly figured out himself yet what he wants for most of the show. han ying meets him only in these uneasy moments, so he naturally only knows zhou zishu in a perpetuate state of depression and uncertainty. a zhou zishu who denies his own worth and value to other people, people like han ying.

maybe han ying wanting to save zhou zishu has a big part to do with han ying trying to prove to zhou zishu how important zhou zishu is to him. he's saying, "look! i would do everything for you not to die, can't you see how much i treasure you? can't you tell how worthy and loved you are?" this is especially impactful because han ying only knows zhou zishu in his worst moments. he has never seen zhou zishu the sect leader or zhou zishu the filial eldest disciple. he only knows zhou zishu from tian chuang, leader of assassins and spymaster. and he still loves and adores him.

and yes, a big part of that is likely filial piety. but it is also zhou zishu himself. and maybe zhou only sees the former, and has a difficult time acknowledging and believing the latter. and maybe thats why han ying is so desperate and would do anything to show him.

so maybe it wouldnt have changed anything after all, if zhou zishu had been a bit more candid, considering that zhou zishu's desire to die is so big it would have blotted out everything else, be it pragmatism or reason. and han ying seems to desperately want to save zhou zishu at all costs, even from himself. han ying still might have chosen the path he walks and that leads him to his death, and zhou zishu might have still ended up with one wen kexing intending to save han ying at the expense of himself, and one dead han ying.

but what always sticks out to me is that zhou zishu can not fully open himself to han ying; he is still entangled in that role of being han ying's superior whom han ying is very filial to, whom he adores. he is trying to lead his own life, but han ying (and the way zhou zishu has left tian chuang behind) make it very hard for him.

im pretty sure this could be solved if zhou zishu were more candid and would treat han ying like just any other person, someone he can meet on eye level. but that might be hard for him, because han ying's adoration is so heavy, zhou zishu, who always believes he is not worthy of such faith anymore, is so uncomfortable with it he would rather han ying fucks off. he also wants han ying to lead his own life, and he views han ying adoring zhou zishu still as han ying binding his own fate to a sinking ship. to zhou zishu, han ying's continued loyalty must be like another sign of zhou zishu's faliure; he cant even save han ying from this.

this is especially notable when you contrast zhou zishu's relationship with han ying with how zhou zishu is with wen kexing. these two are equals, and for better or worse, wen kexing has been witness to zhou zishu's journey. he knows everything there is. zhou zishu doesnt have to be candid, wen kexing understands and sees him. but they still talk openly, they show each other their worst, and then they make up about it. they go through it.

zhou zishu doesnt allow han ying to go through it with him, he mistakenly believes he is holding han ying back. he thinks, the more he sends him away, and the less he allows this loyalty and connection to grow, the better it is for han ying. so han ying runs after him, and zhou zishu keeps all the important words hidden. and maybe those important words wouldnt have changed things at all, or might have made it even worse. its truly hard to say.

honestly, han ying dying feels a lot like it couldnt have been avoided no matter what. i like to imagine that things get easier when you communicate better and allow others to through it with you, but in this case, han ying's and zhou zishu's roles seem to make it impossible for them to ever reach the kind of honesty zhou zishu cultivates with wen kexing. there is just too much zhou zishu hasnt fully confronted yet, too much pain and too much guilt. and han ying is never truly arround, for them to really see each other where they are.

what i think jyp should do is they should put all those big money they spend on cgi of skz music videos into freeing up Bang Chan's schedule and sending him and his hotsauce writing polycule on a high quality vacation that will keep them relaxed and their creative juices bubbling every comeback season. the man has been producing bangers year after year he needs to be pampered along with his crew instead of us being shown realistic tentacles or dragons or whatever in the mv
