It's genuinely creepy how obsessed you are with kids having sex.

Hm. So like. Once or twice a year, when it crosses my dash, I comment on how grody it is for a grown adult to have a "lolicon" fixation or write fanfic about CSA for funsies, and sometimes get sucked into a lengthier debate by people who can't stand me having that everyday normal opinion. So now, here you are, SO scandalized by that opinion, so defensive of those themes, you pulled "I'm not the creep, YOU'RE the creep!" before I even ever called you a creep, and imply that criticism of CSA fanfic equals "obsessing over kids having sex," which is a thoroughly remarkable thing for you to admit to thinking off anon. At least you have guts. It does however feel an awful lot like you don't even know who I am or how often I've touched on this subject, but that you likely send some version of this message to every single person you see bad-mouthing your disturbing hobby.

i'm not done talking about 19th century korea hamlet actually. specifically i'm thinking about how the protestant/catholic divide of the original play would be reworked to be about the conflict between korean confucianism and christianity, or just secular westernized ideals, of that specific era.

i said in the original post that claudius would be very western in both dress and ideals, and that hamlet is the only person in 1.2 who's wearing a white hanbok (the traditional mourning clothes) while everyone else is in black western clothes. hamlet would be the only one lighting incense and putting food offerings in front of his father's portrait.

just like how the original hamlet goes to wittenberg which is the protestant university, but is confronted with his father's ghost damned to purgatory according to the doctrines of roman catholicism, hamlet in this version would be attending one of the growing missionary-run schools with a western style of education. but hamlet sr.'s ghost is a 귀신, a vengeful spirit.

in korean folklore, ghosts often cannot cross to the afterworld because of a 한 (han), an unresolved sadness or wrong committed against them. they can usually cross to the afterlife by reversing the wrong that still keeps them in the living world. (for example, virgin ghosts can sometimes be appeased by a spiritual marriage to move on.) so hamlet's murder of claudius wouldn't just be revenge; killing him would be the only thing to ensure his father crosses to the afterlife.

so when hamlet questions in 2.2 if the ghost was actually just the devil to tempt him into sin, this isn't just the moral conundrum of killing his uncle; this is a religious crisis between everything he's been taught at his new western-style school, and the deep-rooted traditions that his mother and uncle are completely disregarding.

and of course, confucianism putting so much stress on the importance of the family unit and familial obligation means gertrude and claudius' marriage comes as even more of a betrayal to hamlet. he's putting in all this effort to honor his late father through confucian rites, his hair braided and dressed in a white hanbok, and his mother is essentially sinning against her late husband in every possible way. i think that gertrude and hamlet sr. were both very traditional and gertrude only suddenly acted/dressed very western when she married claudius, which just makes everything worse.*

anyways i'm not framing the conflict between hamlet and gertrude & claudius as a conservative vs. progressive dichotomy. i just think it's so fascinating to think of hamlet's crisis with religion being a struggle between the old vs the new. and given how malleable hamlet is as a play, i think that a lot of themes parallel this specific setting of cultural and technology changes and uncertainty in society. there are so many other aspects to this (notably, the implications of laertes studying abroad which i should probably make a whole other post about) but i've been thinking about religion in hamlet lately.

lastly, to add on to what i said about white mourning clothes in the original post: i think that horatio would be wearing a white vest suit in 5.1 as western formalwear, but by the end of the scene, it's stained in blood and dirt the exact same way that hamlet, ophelia, and laertes' mourning hanboks were ruined before.

(*also obligatory disclaimer that i'm not, like, making a sweeping statement about confucianism as a whole. there is much more to it than just "honour your ancestors" and stuff like that but i'm not an expert. that specific part is just relevant here.)

ACDC RAG FutureTrip Y3K Long Sleeve T-Shirt BLACK

[chaifootsteps]

Was at a local thrift store today and found some HH tee shirts. On one hand, having the series seep into my daily life like this irritates me - but on the other hand, I’m a bit happy knowing someone decided to discard them >.>

*As the train moves through the fabric lands The doll came back with more goodies. It looks at them and puts treats on a table of them. It pats the three of them gently and moves down the cars to check on other things*

*After a while, Alice slowly wakes up from her slumber, letting out a long yawn. She rubs her eye gently before noticing the treats laid out on the table.*

*The train whistles as the other kids wake up*

*Frisk rubs their eyes and sees the sweets*

*Chara looks at the sweets and takes some aswell*

*The train makes a few long whistles making Chara look out the window. Their destination was close*

*it seems they are now at the hill of cushions. The young goat girl looks out the window, a bright smile springing to life.*

*She pauses for a moment thinking*

*Chara looks worried*

*The train soon comes to a halt, allowing the trio off.*

*Frisk and Chara nods as they hop down from the seat as they exit the train. The doll taking hat off to the kids in a way of saying farewell*

*The kids wave goodbye as they head off now on a path that leads up to the house. The path towards the house was…tame. No unnerving presence, no strangers to frighten them… Nothing. It felt too safe. Alice could feel herself becoming anxious at the peace, grasping tightly at her dress as the trio inched closer to the door upon the house on the hill*

*Now at the door. Frisk takes a deep breath and takes hold of Chara’s hand tight*

*Chara takes deep breath and lets breath out*

*Frisk knocks on the door*

*Chara blinks hearing a the soft male voice*

*The door opens and a figure slowly comes out… A man who looked like a moth. With a top hat. He looked like someone in his twenties. He looks down…*

*The kids look up in awe and before they could say anything to the man. The king yelled out in horror and concern*
