im kinda obsessed with hyuna rn and like. Just to be clear. I dont think it's right to interpret her sacrifice/words as just selfish or just selfless.

Thing is- it's both. I think Hyuna perfectly encapsulates the messed up and contradictory nature of self sacrifice, it is selfish and cruel as much it is sn act of love and selflessness. One doesn't negates the other.

And although i reblogged posts about Hyuna in the new comic since they bring uo very good points/interpretation, i don't agree with the take/implication that Hyuna couldn't carry Jacob's legacy or even the take that she saw other as selfish (wheres the source??? I dont remember that?? Correct me tho). It's more complicated than that. Hyuna and Wiege as whole represents humanity in a very down to earth way- both embodies the message of living in spite of everything, embodies the joy and love in midst of sorrow.

I feel like it's a disservice to Hyuna's character to say that she couldn't carry that legacy. Yes she couldn't forgive herself or Luka, but she still carried humanity's legacy through her kindness and compassion and love. Yes, her act of sacrifice also carried and stemmed from resentment and revenge and selfishness. They both coexist and that's what makes her character so good. She is human throughout.

She could only pass the legacy to Luka because she carried it too.

While reading this comic, my impression is that her narration, her words carried kindness and gentleness, and that's what makes it cruel and a curse. Her death will destoy, but ultimately change Luka. She died to destroy Luka and more than anything force him to walk on his own and take all the sorrows, joy,kindness, cruelty and love. To live. To forgive. "Everything... begins from there"

She is sincere in her last words, she truly hopes that Luka can forgive himself for them both and to carry her legacy and find his own answer.

She died not only to take revange o Luka, but also because she knew that only by hurting Luka she would make him understand. Because that's the only language he knows.

So uhh my hot take here is to not boil her down to "self sacrifice dead wife" or "luka's hater" but rather as her own being, a complex and contradictory human with blurred love and hate and above everything else her own character.

Don't take her words fully at face value, but look for the subtext too. See the contradictory nature of her character. Just like how Sua and Ivan are also contradictory in their salvation.

The Hyuna we see in Wiege and the Hyuna we see in the comics and the Hyuna we see everywhere else is all true version of her. She is like a mosaic, multiple different parts making a bigger picture. Don't let one distract you from the other. Let's analyze her resentment and selfishness without mischaracterzing her or ignoring her compassion and kindness. Both coexist in love and in her.

Thanks.
