My redneck neighbor Doug reads my fanfiction for 'The Bad Batch'

Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.”

I made the gross error of telling Doug that I was writing a novel length fanfiction crossover of The Bad Batch and The Expanse. It's here if you'd like to take a gander yourself.

A massive fan of both, Doug practically hooted with joy when I mentioned it at a barbeque. So, like a dumbass, I sent him a link to the fic, thinking he’d wax praise on me.

I had forgotten how aggressively irreverent this man is. I was in for a beating.

Hint: I quickly sketched this up and sent it to Doug asking if this is how he imagined Tech and Sjael Drummer in the story. He said yes, and was ECSTATIC. I'm 99% sure it's on his fridge now. Next to @amalthiaph's piece of course.

CW: It's Doug, he's not child friendly. Y'all should've figured it out by now.

They're looking at me like 'We're a clone commando genius and a pilot with a Ph.D in chemical engineering. WTF is this hillbilly shit?"

Anywho, here’s the delightful exchange we had after he finished up the current chapter:

Doug: So, lemme get this straight. We got a nice pretty Belter scientist-engineer, Sa-Jail Drummah, –so the lady’s a space Cajun. She got an undercut, tattoos, some Indian blood in her, and a crazy bitch sister who was in the Navy! Yup, pure Gulf Shore girl, got it. Sa-Jail’s a chemical engineer, I bet she got her degree at USM* like a good gal. And she meets Ryan-from-Accounting, who is a space redneck, because the boy’s a Mandalorian clone. And they’re all out camping, nice. It’s a white trash love story in space, awesome. Love it.

Me: It’s not a white trash love story in space, DOUG.

Doug: Oh, it ain’t? Let’s see here…the first time the boy meets the girl, she’s setting up a shitty perimeter fence around her trailer in the woods and he holds her up at gunpoint in the middle of the night. That’s some bayou romance right up in there. Did she show him her shrimping boat after that?”

Me: …that is true. No shrimping boat, but he joins her on a hike the next day.

Doug: Taking a girl out into the woods to show her what a rough rugged redneck you are! That’s classic white trash mating rituals right there. I’ve seen it in action my whole life, I know it when I see it. Did the boy talk about his guns?

Me: No, but he does talk about his time in the armed forces and his brothers. His guns are in his backpack.

Doug: Guns on the first date? Seriously. And bragging about your time in the USMC is like, the first thing a redneck does to impress a lady besides talking about his truck and his smoker and how much he goes to church. This is real redneck courtship happening in this story. Oh, and the part where they finally start banging?”

Me: (takes deep breath) What about it?

Doug: First of all, my wife, she loved that part!

Me: YOU READ THIS TO YOUR WIFE?!**

Doug: Well, yeah! She loves a good romance and we had a long drive that day. Anyway, Sa-Jail had just been bitching about her ex-oyfriend, or was it ex-husband?

Me: Ex-fiance.

Doug: Same difference. Anyway, Toby***–clearly named after Toby Keith like a good Southern man–left her for some other chick after he joined the Navy because that’s how the Navy man rolls. Just like Toaster Strudel's daddy. Wasn’t Toby a pilot? Yup, sounds like an average day in Pensacola to me. Flew his Blue Angel to different poon. Then, Sa-Jail, well, she needed somebody else to wash her mouth out, per se.

So, after knowing the man for what, two or three days, she flings herself at Ryan-from-Accounting and they proceed to hump like coked-out rabbits all over her trailer. And in TRUE Cajun fashion, Sa-Jail is so impressed by Ryan-from-Accounting’s pipelaying skills that she makes him DINNER. And what does Ryan-from-Accounting do that any self-preserving redneck man would do with a woman he just started dating?

Me: Enlighten my Yankee self, Doug.

Doug: HE CALLS ALL HIS HUNGRY RELATIVES OVER TO JOIN THEM FOR THEIR FIRST DINNER TOGETHER. Which they all enjoy outside the trailer! Cookout style! Nothing says ‘redneck romance’ like ‘Hey sugar, you and me just started getting serious five minutes ago, now HERE IS MY WHOLE FAMILY. FROM MY BROTHER CLAYTON THAT JUST GOT RELEASED FROM ANGOLA TO MY COUSIN CAROLLYNN WHO HAS FIVE BABY DADDIES. ALSO WE ARE GOING TO CHURCH TOMORROW AND GETTING CRACKER BARREL AFTER THAT SO GET A NICE DRESS OR MEEMAW AND MY AUNTIES WILL JUDGE.”

Me: Jesus Christ, Doug, that is not what happened.

::Doug screenshots my longfic and sends it to me and I am deceased because he’s not exactly wrong::

Doug: And of course, Sa-Jail is a good Cajun woman, just rolls up her sleeves and feeds everybody because that’s how the bayou babe do. The rest of the story might as well be called ‘Real Housewives of Space Slidell’ for all of the white trash shenanigans that follow. Let’s see here…there’s knife chasing, screaming, someone gets pregnant out of wedlock, a fist fight while someone’s driving, lots of guns, tattoos, motorcycles, a cowboy bar, a hot Southern nurse, lots of cussing, baby daddy drama, biscuits and gravy, Navy veterans, Ryan-from-Accounting’s various brothers from different daddies show up and they all want food and a place to stay, hooch-making, pimp-slaps, more guns…this is a real Cajun-Redneck tale of love. With spaceships. It’s great!

Me: I’m speechless, Doug.

Doug: Jenny loved the scenes where they cross a river with the motorcycle and then they do the nasty next to it. That’s 10/10 on the redneck Was Ryan-from-Accounting playing ‘Fishin’ in the Dark’ in the background on his phone, too?”

Me: I AM GENUINELY SPEECHLESS, DOUG.

@eyecandyeoz, did he do a good job capturing the essence of the story? LOL

---------------------------------------------------------------------

*=In Doug’s defense, University of Southern Mississippi has an incredible department regarding chemical engineering and specifically, polymer science. So he’s not far off.

**=I DIED, I’M DEAD, A GHOST IS WRITING THIS RIGHT NOW.

***=HIS NAME WAS NOT TOBY FFS.

Why on earth always my favourite shows get screwed up every time?? Why??

So, if you haven't noticed as of yet already or even don't know what has happened, then after reading the below article, you will realise why I have put this question as a Title.

I cannot believe that, this is frequently happening to this very day.

So, one of the concept artist of Star Trek: Prodigy, Oliver Beck, just claimed that his artwork, which was shown in the S1E10, "A Moral Star: Part 2", was stolen by the makers of the upcoming Bollywood movie, 'Kalki 2898 AD', Vyjayanthi Movies, for their logo in the Trailer of the movie. This was happened after South Korean Artist, Sung Choi, claimed that his artwork was also stolen in the trailer, without their permissions or Giving them the credits.

Like, Seriously!! This Screwing up of ST: Prodigy is just unbearable. Like, C'mon!! First, The Money Mafias, just forced to cancel and wipe ST: Prodigy out of existence, until Netflix Saved it. Then, Lucasfilms and Disney, stole the plot of Star Trek: Prodigy into their upcoming Star Wars animated series, Skeleton Crew, and now This Art Theft by the upcoming Indian Movie!! They are thinking like, 'Star Trek: Prodigy' is no longer a Thing anymore rather than an open-source material, after what Nickelodeon and Paramount Canceled and tried to remove it.

And I am really sorry as an Indian Person. Because, ST: Prodigy don't deserve this to be like screwed up everytime. Bollywood has a history of stealing things that they stole and no one behind the scenes gives any credits to the original artists they stole from. Sometimes, I feel ashamed that this had happened. As I support Originality, I think it has to be said rather than just not tell anyone to obscurity. While I am insanely proud of my fellow Indian artists at Mikros Animation in Bangalore, who are involved in ST: Prodigy, I am equally ashamed that this happened. Also, the Emmy-award winning Art director of ST: Prodigy, Alessandro Taini, worked as a Concept Artist for Bollywood film, "Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva". If he knows what happens on Bollywood behind the scenes in reality, then he would be discouraged altogether. There should be a Global Law about Art Theft and Copyrights. Seriously!!

ST: Prodigy, as well as other good quality animated shows and movies, should not deserve to get art-theft like that.

And to Oliver Beck, and Sung Choi, on behalf of Indians, I am really really Sorry that this happened.

I hope that somehow, things will change for the better. I will try to contact Hageman Brothers and @aaronwaltke as well about this incident happened recently.

But this is the harsh reality of Animation as an Artistic Media we live in, ladies and gentlemen.

And I have nothing to say more.

So, I will see you on 1st July when S2 releases on Netflix. I am trying to renew Netflix ASAP. So, wish me luck.

#star trek prodigy #animation #star trek #animation fans #animation fandom #animated kids show #nickelodeon #television #netflix #art theft #Screw art theft #Animation should be respected.

I'm so tired of dealing with people who can't acknowledge that an adaptation of one piece of media can be a bad adaptation and still a great piece of media.

I'm gonna start this off by saying, I have not read The Vampire Chronicles so I don't have all the context for the Interview with the Vampire tv show, and I also am aware that I exist in the tumblr echo chamber where iwtv has been trending nearly nonstop for like 2 or 3 weeks with thousands of adoring fans.

But I think the show is a good piece of media, regardless of how good an adaptation it is.

I was talking to my boss about the show because she loves the book series, and she says she won't touch the show with a ten foot pole because every adaptation of The Vampire Chronicles up to this point has been horrible. She complained that all the actors in the show are too old because characters like Armand and Claudia were turned at a much younger age than Assad or Delainey are. She complained that Armand shouldn't be Indian (I'm aware Assad is Bangledeshi, not Indian but Armand was born in Delhi, India in the show) too. She was super concerned with the character accuracy.

And I showed my mom (who has also read the books) the Vampire Lestat s3 trailer, and at the end of it she just kinda awkwardly smiled and said "Oh... They went the Dr. Frank-n-furter route, huh?" in a disappointed voice which I totally don't understand because my mom loves Rocky Horror.

And of course people are allowed their opinions. People are allowed to not like a piece of media. But it just annoys me to no end when people won't give adaptations a chance or just automatically judge them as bad whether they've seen them or not because it doesn't live up to the source material.

The live action Avatar: the Last Airbender show was still a beautiful and gripping show, even if it didn't live up to the animated series. I love the Red, White, and Royal Blue movie so much and think it's a great and fun movie, despite the fact that I've gone on so many angry rants about everything they changed or left out from the book that I can't even count them anymore. There are so many Marvel movies that I enjoy greatly even though it pisses me off from time to time how much they stray from and mix and match the comic storylines. I've read countless reviews about the 2023 romcom Anyone But You that said it's one of the worst Shakespeare adaptations some people have ever seen (it was supposed to be based loosely on Much Ado About Nothing) and I don't even care if it was a bad adaptation of that play because it's such a fun movie regardless!!!

I don't know, I guess I'm rambling at this point, but what I'm trying to say is, there's gray areas when it comes to liking and judging media just like there are in any other area of life. Just because you don't like something or it doesn't live up to your standards doesn't mean it's a bad piece of media. Give it a chance. Be respectful of the ships or scenarios or tropes or genres that your friends and neighbors and coworkers and mutuals like, even if they aren't your cup of tea. No one's gonna like everything, and not everyone can always like one thing, but you can choose to be openminded 💗

#and before y'all come in my notes talking about 'well maybe your mom and boss are just homophobic'#I'm 100% sure that's not the issue #dot says #ranting #adaptations #might delete later

THE DATA CONNECTION

The scene in ST: Picard Season 1: Et in Arcadia Ego Pt 2, where Picard's soul meets Data, keeps turning over and over in my head.

I think of how Data revealed a hand of Q cards in the very beginning of the series, so clearly Q had something to do with that. What better person to help Q reach Jean-Luc Picard than his "professor of Humanities?"

Did Q use Data to help him connect with Picard in the end of Season 1? Was Data being used as a channel for Q?

There are meta-analyses posted by other Tumblrs, describing how Q is represented by a butterfly.

*******

"I am the gentle flutter of a butterfly."

"Humans with your griefs and pains... are like butterflies with your wings pinned."

*******

It was a butterfly, or rather, a moon moth that essentially led Picard's soul to Data, and then to Picard's synth body, created by Dr. Soong.

Data even remarked as he released a butterfly from his hand (As in: "Open your hand, Data. Follow me, the butterfly, Picard!"--Q), that "A butterfly that lives forever isn't a butterfly." That sounds a bit odd that "Data" said that. Who lives forever, and is leading Picard to the synth body, thus saving Picard from death?

It's possible that it was Data that Picard was speaking to. But, what if Q was also talking, too? Through Data?

Data said something about Picard dreaming of him. Picard then happily said that he dreamed of Data all the time.

But, how interesting it is that Q was part of Picard's dream with Data in it. How many times has Q been hinted at in Picard's dreams?

What I'm saying is that Picard isn't ready to have Q in his familiar form with, dark, luscious hair and all in Picard's dream.

Picard would still see Q as an enemy, and his stubborness, since he has so much repressed love for Q, would call it a nightmare, not a dream.

So, Q would have to be hinted at. In plain sight, and yet, hidden from being so obvious.

So, instead what if Q essentially "piggybacked" on Data to reach Picard in his dreams?

The other thing that I, as an audience member hoped, was when Data got Picard to say that he loved him, Q was also trying to hear Picard say those words to him, albeit indirectly to him.

If Q is manifesting himself as the butterfly, and has used Data (That sounds nasty to put it that way, I know.) as a means of reaching Picard, then wouldn't Q also want to feel in some way, Picard saying that he loves him?

Receiving Picard's love is Q's greatest desire. I wouldn't put it past him to find a roundabout way of getting Picard to say that he loves him.

The last thing I noticed is how when you start to see objects in the darkened room where Data is sitting across from Picard, there are Hindu figurines on the table, such as a Buddha figure, (Buddhism was also in India) an Indian-looking tower-like object, and a third object that looked potentially Indian. The camera focuses on these objects very quickly, but it also focuses on them twice, once in the opening of the scene and a second time around the moment when Picard gets up out of the chair to step into the light. What's so special about these objects that we see them twice? In Picard's sitting room. With a faceless mantle clock and the cosmos sparkling overhead? Who's the interior decorator here?

A meta-analysis done on Q's clothing at the end of Season 3 revealed that the eight-pointed star brooch on Q's costume was a navaratna with rubies, which just so happen to be Picard's birthstone. It's extremely interesting that there was the, for lack of a better word, the Indian connection with Q's red and black costume brooch in S3 and the objects of Indian design in the final episode of S1.

In Season 1, if Q is involved in Picard's "dream" with Q (Queen) cards (Season 2 trailer reveal!) and later with this mysterious butterfly that pretty much saves his Favorite's life ("I am the gentle flutter of a butterfly " Season 2), why not a third connection? (Q's interesting choice in jewelry in Season 3).

There are simply too many odd connectors for it all to be coincidence.

My curiosity lies in how Data ultimately fits in Q's role in this.

Q IS present in Season 1.

Did Data serve as a connection for Q to help create a connection between himself and Picard?

****Just a quck mention: When I listened very carefully during the second that Data lays down the Q cards in Episode 1, I swear I thought I heard a two-second "fluttering" sound.

I looked up on YouTube the sound of butterflies flitting around.

I listened to one video of a group of butterflies flitting their wings, and I heard the same sound.

You'd have to turn your volume way up when Data shows the five cards. But, I swear I thought I heard a 1-2 second sound of wings flapping.

SWEET CHRISTMAS, THE ATSV TRAILER IS OUT

The character designs are so crisp! and gorgeous!

I'm especially hyped seeing as my three favourite spider-men are appearing in the movie (not Julia Carpenter, unfortunately but maybe next time):

Thoughts and pics under the cut:

#3: Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099)

I got into reading Spider-Man 2099 really soon after getting into the Amazing Spider-Man comics, and along with Matt Murdock, this dude is the definition of "how can i be the biggest b*tch in the room at all times but still maintain my charm"

Also according to the trailer, he may or may not have a daughter? Interesting, since her name seems to be very similar to his brother in the comics (Gabriel O'Hara) or his future-son, whose he named after his brother. We'll have to see!

#2: Ben Reilly (Scarlet Spider)

Listen, I'm going to say this straight off the bat: the most recent characterizations of Ben (cough cough looking at you CHASM) have been very unsatisfactory, to say the least, so this is very cathartic for me. I don't know if he's going to be a particularly important character in the movie, but I do appreciate his appearance so far.

DRUMROLL PLEASE

#1: Pavitr Prabhakar (Spider-Man "India")

As an Indian who has lived in Canada, a western country all her life, you have no idea how excited I was to see this character in the trailer. Western superhero movies (and Western movies in general) have a penchant for forgetting South Asians even exist. Based on the fact that there's a decent amount of merch coming out for the guy, I'm thinking that he'll either be a main character or at least have speaking roles. I read the miniseries for him, and I'd love to see it adapted to the big screen.

For some reason, his character design drew a lot of criticism? Some people said that his outfit was too stereotypical, and others said that the decision to have his hair sticking out the mask is kind of dumb.

In my opinion, this character design is absolutely on point; we never see Indian characters on Western television without them being heavily edited to match perceptions, where they'll have names like "Nicole Patel," or "John Reddy." (and I'm not saying people don't have those names, but what about people with more ethnic Indian names who don't pass for westernized ones?) and their WHOLE CHARACTER ARC will be about their PARENTS being stereotypical Indians, not the characters themselves. I digress.

I happen to love his outfit; similar to how Miles uses spray paint for his costume, Pavitr uses motifs that originated from Persia/Indian subcontinent, and wears a dhoti. Also, about the hair argument; there are plenty of other superheroes who don't leave their long hair tucked in/cropped short so that argument is just dumb.

In short, I'm really excited to see these characters on the big screen, and hoping ATSV will do them justice (which it probably will).

Century of Love Live Blogging

For a couple weeks before this show's release, I had been getting some DaouOffroad videos on my Twitter timeline and man, I was really getting into them despite never having watched Love in Translation. I knew this was releasing 2 eps a week and the concept was interesting enough, so was eyeing this for live-watching since like July 2, a week before the show released. Now I'm finally watching it after my other on-air shows (My Stand-In, Wandee Goodday) are done and 6 episodes of this have released. People seem to be really liking this, even though some people were critical about the concept once the trailer was released. Hope I love it, I enjoyed To Sir, With Love which I think is the same team? Gotta love a lakorn BL.

Ep 1 (July 27)

1-1

1924

old-timey lakorns really do have the same vibes as the indian serials or historical bollywood movies, loveee

the graphics when San's being healed are killing me

San and Wad are cute from the 2 seconds we get to see of them lol

tragedy strikes

eat half of the stone now -> body frozen for a hundred years but endure pain every night -> Vad feeds second half to him when they reunit and San's body returns to normal

1944, 1974, 2004 - so it's like a new generation of the Savant/shring caretaker's family

2024 - 100 year anniversary

100smth-year-old young-looking San is so funny, especially the grandpa calling San great grandpa

so true, young Juu teaching old ass great grandpa San about victim blaming

Juu is soo cute omg

omg a century's worth of wounds and injuries reopen every night?!?! girl, love cannot be worth this much pain

1-2

2 more months left until March 15

pls this would've been romantic and beautiful if this was a different show and her name is even Wad

SanVee first meeting

ah, Vee just moved here, so that's why they just met

1-3

omg the make-shift red string of fate in front of the goddess

the ring going to Vee, how cute

Juu is seriously sooo attractive

Khun Wad reminds me of Namtan a bit

Vee is quite charming

incredible lack of dust underneath that cabinet

San being charmed by Vee despite not wanting to be

I wonder if Vee knows he likes men/knows he's starting to like San? He seems like he'd know

1-4

okay Vee knows

I know this scene is a dream that San's having, I wonder how it was watching it without knowing that omg they went from 0 to a 100 for seemingly no reason

120smth year old grandpa's wet dream smh

Vee reminds me of somebody but who... I thought it was Lee Dohyun for a second but I don't think so. Maybe OnePact Oh Seongmin??

Suchhh a good first episode. I was anticipating this show and really hoping I like it and so far, it's great. Can't wait to watch ep 2.

Ep 2 (July 27)

cryinggg at San going to tell Tao about his wet dream

Vee has a sick grandma. I think I read about this

Actually I think I also read a stray post or tweet about grandma and Vee living same man, so I’m gonna assume this guy who saved grandma as a little kid is San lol

not the kind pratfall kiss

loll Juu knows about the dream and being able to perform again

hmm this uncle who made a bad investment… is the police record real

a literal tiny child 120smth year old great grandpa!!!!! I was spoiled about this too but omg

not Vee being in trouble and chased the way San kind of was in ep 1 beginning

lmfao San finding a way to get Vee's birth time, location details

Juu: "If you can't accept that he's a man, then just have him complete the ritual and part ways." okay I was thinking this esp because some people are guessing a bit that maybeeee Vee actually isn't Vad reincarnated. So if that theory's true, maybe San will indeed meet the correct reincarnation and just have them feed him the stone but continue being in love with Vee?

Vee saying what comes to his mind but it clearly stings deeply for San. Vee saying that he wouldn't want the other person to wait if he were Wad because when would he come back, what if he looks different, what if he has a worse personality, like omg these are all San's current struggles

who took that video of San healing? was it Vee or somebody else?

Vee possibly linked to a shady businessman who searches for the 5-coloured stone

oh, the people are straight up robbing them for the stone

omg, San is so mean to Vee here yelling at him about the stone and calling him a thief and letting it slip that he'd done a background search on him

but if indeed Vee knew about San and is after the stone, then Vee is a great actor within the show

ah, the shady businessman

Ep 3 (July 28)

wtf the Youtube vids don't have English subs? agh

dang, unexpected time to turn into a child

pls San has never needed to think of a name for the kid version? I guess he can just use San because usually it's not like people know that he's related to San somehow

plsss not the naked San + Vee toppling over him + fall into the bathtub and turning the shower on + the family all coming home and seeing them

ah, marriage is brought up because of this

aw, Vee got framed for that criminal record bank account thing. the bank account fraud also reminded me of DFF

Vee's lack of money or status reminds San of how he originally was with Khun Wad

ever since I first saw the clips of the scene of San describing who he loves and their characteristics and Vee being like "o! that describes me!" it has reminded me of a very similar scene with a different Vee... Love Mechanics Mark telling Vee his ideal type's character traits and Vee being like oh! I fit all of them! even though he fits none loll

dang, he's plainly telling his grandmother about the fake wedding and getting paid for it and she doesn't seem to care. kinda interesting, i'd expect more scolding and disapproval

don't hide your face in the towel you were using to clean her feet!

but Vee doesn't deny liking San oof

the uncle guy doesn't approve of the wedding, who would have guessed?

San being so grouchy to vee during the wedding while Vee's trying his best and is so smiley >:(

ahh the serendipitous bride veil

I wonder if Vee will ever ask why they call San Great Great Grandfather lmao

not the attacks and gunshot wounds! how must San feel to see Vee take a bullet for him when Wad had died that way

Vee finally finds out about San's situation and the stone + that he's maybe/maybe not Wad's reincarnation

I think I saw something about Vee trying to steal the stone... will it be for his grandmother?

kinda bad acting when Vee's sad about his grandma but the situation is indeed devastating and he's going through so much

beautiful, gorgeous Juu

Ep 4 (July 28)

Vee's plan to steal the stone step #1: start living in the house lol

my poor fucking Vee fr

stoppp San being rude and clippy but still being like if you want anything tell Juu + puts some meat on Vee's plate

San's nightly pain and horrors being stopped by touching and being near Vee omg, this show is soooo good and handles the tropes so well

"It must hurt a lot... but it's better than being dead, right Phi?" Vee... it might be worth it for San who has a mission but it's senseless to have your grandmother go through that when she has lived a full life

the first night in a 100 years since he's had good sleep was when Vee was near him, running his hand through his hair, like bruh the tropes and the implications!!

this annoying ass uncle mans

I think it'd be nice if Vee really isn't the reincarnated Wad but just shares the same fate as people keep saying

ah, Vee going sneaking and getting caught by San, though he managed to not give his position away

Aw, San's kinda cute, putting on the music and smiling while watching Vee go through the photos and such

yaas bisexual king Vee who's dated and messed around with men and women lol

grandpa San having a breakdown hearing about homosexuality like whelp you're gonna have to come to terms with it sometime

not Juu telling Vee about San's horny dream about him to console him and tell him that San's actually into him lmfaooo

Vee's next plan is to seduce San lol but Vee looks so good with slightly messy hair standing at the doorway omg

San to Vee: "Where your clothes at?"

kitsune Vee! San's wet dreams are great lol and the water glass motif in all of them too lmfaoo

girl you're married! fuck meditation, go have sex with your husband

a fake stone in place of the real one?

oh man, cliffhanger with injured Vee who found the (fake I guess) 5-coloured stone but then was stabbed by one of the guys searching for it who then took it from him. + the grandpa got taken too.

also the robber guy has to be the annoying uncle mans right

Ep 5 (July 28/29)

as expected, the uncle is in kahoots with the stone stealers

damn, San meant that the doctor was a fraud who doesn't know about the stone's realities, right? not that the doctor was working with San or anything. because mans got shot in the head

hmmm Suchat and them escape, right?

San being so nice to injured Vee, cooking for him and feeding him

ah, especially because San believe Vee got injured in a fight to protect the stone from the thieves, not knowing that Vee was stealing it himself

the stone stealing has to come back some time later for angst purposes, right? can't be a secret forever...?

ah, the Prince Trai who killed Wad accidentally is back as Wee's friend and doctor Third

omg nightmare where Wee takes Wad's place in the dying scenario...

damn, San even being rude to Third who's like ...? but hmm why did San seem familiar to him, did he just happen to see him around or is he really reincarnated Trai and somehow remembers from his past life?

lol Vee really invited Third to San and the family's house to hang out pls

San seething with jealousy and stalking Vee lol

Vee being like wow this grumpy poser dinosaur sure reminds me of San

I was wondering if San and Juu were gonna be seen at the back when they were taking selfies! he just saw it later

ahhhh San doesn't quite want to reaaaally find Wad (as he's falling for Vee) but that obviously makes him feel confused and aimless

Love to see Vee being straightforward like don't be controlling and say what you mean, i don't like to guess

ahhh cute cute cute even though they didn't actually kiss

Ep 6 (July 29/30)

insecure San

ahh the perfume wrist sniffing scene i’ve seen around so much lately

not Vee going to get hotpot with Third

what a gracious back down from Third compared to the gun! that Trai had brought out lol

ahh I thought Vee was gonna come from behind and hear the confession and it’ll be a comedic moment but it just became angsty though i wonder if Vee hadn’t actually heard… and is trying to avoid San bc of it…

them looking at each other and smiling as Juu guides Vee up the stairs to get ready is sooooo good

ah date and dance

okayyyy Vee did indeed hear

confession and kiss ahh

okkk i was wondering if i can continue watching this on my phone at work (i’ve been watching this ep on phone) but uhhh they are shirtless and maybe sleep together so ig id rather not. will watch when i get home today huhu

now what does San even know about sex, man hasn’t had a boner for a century

ok vee started leading the sex thing after a bit

idk whether to believe Vee really is the reincarnation or not

oh, grandma and San became friends afterwards, I thought San and her only met like once when he apparently saved her

grandma and grandson in love with the same man reminds me of Blank where mother, father, daughter all loved one woman loll

Nuwa is crying and the weird dreams…

omg a kuhn wad lookalike/real reincarnation? is she for real or is she possibly sent by the enemies?

I sooo wish the YouTube episodes were subbed bc it’s a hassle to watch it on random sites lol and i can’t just easily download it for commute

omg antsy teaser for next ep, so glad I only have to wait one day and that we’re getting 2 eps within the next 48 hours. I'm excited to see what questions and conflict and angst is in store.

Ep 7 (July 31)

I'm getting to watch this finally 7 hours after its release. I hope it breaks my fucking heart.

the thing is i kinda want her to be rencarnation fr bc its angsty and means more if san still chooses vee but also i just don't think shes her fr

san didn't even do anything fr he caught a scared crying girl in his arms but ig it can seem that way when you don't know the background info...

I need her to say something from her memory that nobody else except her and San would know because he might've told somebody else/the nephew-uncle mans and he might've told the new Wad if she is indeed a ploy from him

damn, they're just showing every single step to get this stone

the stone not giving a clear answer but still San can die if the wrong Wad reincarnation feeds it to him oof

Ouchhhh Vee being like "at first I thought she's stealing you from me but in fact, I'm the one who came later" as he's leaving San's place back to his own. but San's gotta stop him cmonn

good Vee and San still sleeping in the same bed

she's too insistent on Vee giving up San + her being the real Wad, hmmm. like girl you don't actually even know San

...Wadfah said she remembered... but Third walked right beside her, did she not realize that he looks exactly like the guy who killed her?

oof, Vee really wants to save his grandma with this stone. girl it already bestows a lifetime of pain on San, your grandma's gonna get even more fucked up if you feed this to her without San's permission since the stone's tied to him

at least Vee's telling the grandma about it instead of secretly feeding the stone to her, whew

Vee's so naive and eager and sad and DESPERATE when it comes to his grandma owwww this convo so sad

Wadfah trying to sow discord... I mean she's correct that Vee did steal the stone to save his grandma but... she's too eager to declare she doesn't think Vee is trustworthy... then again, if we were following a story of a reincarnated Wad who comes to the house to find somebody else has been thought of have been her and is living the life that's supposed to be hers and has fooled everybody into trusting them, we'd be on Wadfah's side in this story

San in tears after confirmation that Vee stole the stone omgggg

THIS IS SO FUCKING SAD, THE WHOLE FAMILY FEELING BETRAYED and the story of Vee trying to originally steal it resurfacing even though they thought he'd tried to protect this whole time omggg

returning the ring !!! T.T

nooo San steal loving and believing in Vee and calling after him owowowowowowowwwwww T.T

aw man Vee living with Third for now

stoppp don't think about the cute good and hot times while looking at your bed you shared with Vee, San :( also they do a whole lot of flashbacks to scene we've seen (and repeatedly too like 5 times seeing flashbacks of the same scene), so I'm glad that they showed a completely new cute scene of them together.

this fucking perfume coming up multiple times T.T

ahhh San's intense confrontation with Third omg, this was so good and it felt in character with both of them and the amount of drama/the conclusions that people drew from the confrontation also made sens

okay I just feel like San should at least bring up Wadfah's lack of reaction to seeing Third what the hell

nooo my poor Juu crying nooooooooo

San kneeling in front of Wadfah gave me a heart attack like omg 120smth year old guy please get up

OH MY GOD WE'RE REALLY GETTING SAN CHOOSING VEE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER HE IS WAD OR NOT AHHHH

now why did it start raining and thunder and lightning appears

girl, Wadfah outright asking for the 5 coloured stone... if the antagonists sent her, then they could've sent her to get the strong from San out of his own will

tears down Nuwa's face pls

whelp goodbye stone. i don't think San has another stone decoy to give to her

ah, he's again weak and in pain as the stone is far away

Wadgah's delighted smile while looking at the stone...

The angst is so good because it's something tangible and real and has been leading up to this for the whole show and there are so many people involved like San and Vee but also the family and Wadfah and the stakes are so high (100 years of waiting, true love, death if we have the wrong person, etc.). Becuase of it all, the angst doesn't feel over-dramatic or drawn-out, like this is big enough that people would be having these sorts of reactions. Similarly with San and Third's conflict, that was also violent and dramatic but it makes sense that San would get angry with Third because he's been jealous of him from the beginning and can't let go of Third's past life Trai's crimes while Trai is like mad but not over-the-top until he sees Wadfah and thinks San cheated and so everything came crashing down; the escalation to the punch and yelling made sense then. ahhh so good

I got San choosing Vee without knowing whether he's the real Wad or not, which was great and incredible (even though it hasn't led to their romance again yet) and even gave up his fucking stone for it. We also know Wadfah isn't really a good person and was after the stone. Ideally for me, I think the show would have Wadfah indeed be Wad's reincarnation but just be a different, worse person - not the same Wad as a century ago, the same way Third is a better person than Trai a century ago (unless he too is hiding something and is secretly a villain...). So have Vee and San end up together even though Vee's not Wad. However, I think maybe Vee really is Wad because somebody's gonna have to feed San that stone and if Wadfah's not a good person, we're gonna have to have Vee do it. so idk maybe neither of them are 1-1 Wad's reincarnation since we know both Vee and Wadfah share similar fates? and were born same time and place nad the stone glowed for them both... so maybe Vee and Wadfah could both have the power to feed San and Vee ends up doing it.

What a good episode omg

Although that's not to say everything was perfect and dandy; I think some more reasoning or conflict from Vee's end about stealing the stone would have been good. Like stealing it again without any thought to San? crazy. they should've at least had something like Vee believes very strongly that San would be fine without the whole stone, just a little bit. or like when Vee asks San for the stone, we don't see what San says except no but maybe they could've had San downplay the problems if the stone was gone and just been like no, not worth it to make your grandma be in pain, making Vee think there aren't too many consequences from San's end. or SOMETHING because it's wild how callously he just stole it and ran. or at least stronger sense of regret once he come out of the panic of thinking his grandma was dying and being like omg what have i done? i was in a zone when thinking about my grandma dying that i didn't stop to think omg like at least acknowledge it on text.

Also, Wandee’s necklace returning scene was a let-down fr, so I’m glad it hurt more and had more weight here

Okay somebody mentioned that in First Love, Again (I've watched this kbl but don't remember a single thing), the reincarnation started 1 cycle earlier and during that time the 2 men were together? or smth? and so maybe there was an earlier incarnation of Vee and San and then San and Wad came later. Also I'm nosy and forgot and so went to look through First Love Again, wasted 10 minutes of my time but couldn't find that part while skimming. whelp

Ep 8 (Aug 1)

ummmm why did I see some screenshots on Twitter with San clutching Vee's (??) body on the floor and crying... If this episode doesn't end happily/ends on a cliffhanger, I'm gonna lose my shit

ouchh San and Vee's scene

kiss w/ tear-striken faces aw

damn the ash baggie got lost so quick

Third is here too

not the "I don't wanna live if it's not with you" and resignation to die in a few weeks without the damn stone. San I'll smack you

okay they made up hehe hug

loll maybe Third really is a clueless nice dude like I've been hoping. confused af at these revelations

bro i'm so freaking sleepy but i also wanna finish watching this episode...

Juu my beloved finally realized Wadfah not recognizing Third is weird

lol not her being a seasoned criminal okayyyyy let’s go loll

fake stone trick again

man i can’t chill knowing that those screenshots exist like Vee probably gonna get shot this episode

did Chen and whoever keep the fake stone or give it back to wadfah bc it’s annoying if they kept it

not them all actingggg lmfao both Wad and San’s side putting up a play

ah oof, the stone not with Wadfah, I wonder if she will also come up with some fake stone to trick

oh nvm she got the stone from Chen unless They gave her a fake stone lmfaooo

they’re so fucking cute man

now why is San the bold one while Vee is shy, Vee’s the one who was talking about fucking people loll

cryingggg at Juu swearing on Dr. Tao’s life that the fake stone is the real stone lmfaoo

ohhh omg we’re the screenshots from San’s vision that Nuwa gave him?

girl i’m nervous the stone gonna suddenly stop glowing

lmfaoooo just in time

replicas so good neither of them can tell the difference?!

oh it’s flowing for Vee fr

are they gonna have to team up with Wadfah?

the shooting is very funny idk

the end?! girl what the hell

Pretty enjoyable show so far, I think the writing for this is quite strong, which is fairly rare. Hope the next 2 episodes hold up and that the show ends well.
