SIMM and Dao's Love Language

I'm going to get emotional about KluenDao again because I realised something about how Kluen shows his love for Dao.

(I have a theory that) Dao's primary love language is Acts of Service:

It's the main feature of what he describes when Typhoon asks him what his "type" is.

It's how Dao shows his love for Kluen: doing Kluen's art homework for him and offering to make Kluen's mom's birthday present. It's not (just) about doing art, but specifically because it meets a need that Kluen has.

It's also how Fah and his closest friends show their love for Dao.

So lets take a look at how Kluen shows his love for Dao throughout the show:

Kluen in the "wooing" stage:

From early in the series, Kluen consistently shows his attentiveness and care via 'food/drinks as a metaphor for love', which is also a clear example of Acts of Service because he's providing for needs Dao has in the moment.

These are also both great examples of Acts of Service as Kluen either identifies and addresses a burden that Dao has or preempts a potential source of stress and offers an alternative.

Of course I had to add these moments! Making sure Dao sleeps in a proper bed, re-doing his ankle dressing, the pen + post-it note for his anxiety, and unbuttoning his sleeve so Dao has something to focus his nervous energy on. Note that 3 out of the 4 of these Acts were without (as far as the audience sees) Dao even knowing what Kluen is doing for him.

There's a reason why I find Kluen so very attractive, and it's because Acts of Service is also my love language and damn does Kluen do an amazing job of showing his care for Dao in that way!

Kluen as a boyfriend:

As soon as they become official boyfriends Kluen is constantly finding ways to do things for Dao: walking Dao to class, carrying his stuff, feeding him -- its all very sweet. I had to delete several screenshots because of the image limit jsyk. :( Kluen really does go all out in this way.

Kluen's Acts of Service only seems to escalate in Sky in my Heart. Cooking for Dao, organising a night out for Fah because Dao is worried about Fah, nursing Dao when he's not feeling well (+ the hand feeding TuT).

The cherry on top comes in the Special Episode: Is there anything that encapsulates Acts of Service more than planning to build your boyfriend his dream home, located on the beach because he loves waking up to the sea; promising that he'll have everything he needs to pursue his love of art; even planning to plant a big tree so your boyfriend won't be too hot as he paints outside??

There's so much genuine thoughtfulness and specific consideration for what will make Dao the most happy in this plan.

It's so lovely to see Dao recognise that. He's so grateful, so overwhelmed by Kluen's love (the way you can hear the tears in Dunk's voice when he says his lines - he's such an emotive actor!), not just because it's genuine and means the world to Dao after going through the pain of thinking his love was unrequited, but also because Kluen has learned specifically how to love Dao the way he understands it the best. Kluen literally learned to use the language of love for Dao - both verbally and through his actions.

And this is why I really do think Star in My Mind is genuinely quite a beautiful love story.

so sky in my heart is fah and prince's story but it had some adorable kluendao in it and i have Thoughts. But first:

lol kluen, your joong is showing xD

ok, idk why but i'm finding it ridiculously sweet that kluen will openly ask for kisses (physical affection) but if dao isn't feeling it, he doesn't push the issue (he just gets back to making food for dao xD). it feels really healthy that a 'rejection' (of sorts) doesn't seem to phase either of them or cast any uncertainty on the mutual affection they have. <3

the settled/established(/married) couple energy these two bring to this show is hilarious cuz they're supposed to be the youngest in the cast. fah is having a whole ass crisis and his little bro and his little bro's boyfriend is looking on like proud parents watching him get hit on in the club. xD

every other clip so far, it's been kluen offering/initiating physical contact and intimacy so it's very lovely to see dao asking for it when he's sick, like he's reaching for that extra bit of comfort when his walls are down/he's feeling extra vulnerable.

also lowkey shattered over kluen hand feeding dao like this. ;A; the way dao is almost basking in kluen's care is SO SO SWEET ugh <3

CUTE CUTE THEY'RE JUST SO CUUUUUTE!!!! (joong really needs to give a masterclass in looking besotted/affectionate because he's nailing these moments, damn.)

watching kluen and dao settle into their dynamic in these brief snatches is so lovely. after everything they'd been through in SIMM and specifically how hurt dao had been by kluen's inability to express himself, its just so, so nice to see how far kluen has come?? seeing him able to communicate what he wants in the relationship, verbally and openly, is so rewarding. and dao's sweet reciprocation and the way he gently teases kluen but then allows kluen to tuck him close is SO adorable. it was just really really lovely to watch them be so cute together. *w*

@braceletofteeth, thank you so much for telling me to check SIMH out and giving me the kluendao timestamps!!! <3

Ne zaman vazgeçti ortancalar teneke kutuları mesken edinmekten..

O uzak kentlerdeki karmaşada her şeye karşı yeniden tomurcuklanan yaşam sevin��lerine yer kalmadı mı?

Gökdelenlerin gölgesinde başını kaldıramıyor mu kır çiçekleri, O kentlerin koşuşturmasında vaz mı geçildi nergisin kokusundan..

"Basit yaşamak zorlaştı insanlar kente teslim oldu."

Providing a deep analysis of all Studio Ghibli films would be an extensive undertaking, considering the studio's rich and diverse catalog. However, I can highlight key themes and elements that are often present in their films.

1. **Spirited Away (2001):** Explores identity, environmentalism, and the spirit world. The bathhouse setting is a metaphor for societal structures.

2. **My Neighbor Totoro (1988):** Focuses on the innocence of childhood, the connection to nature, and the acceptance of mystery.

3. **Princess Mononoke (1997):** Tackles environmentalism, the clash between industrialization and nature, and the complexity of human relationships with the environment.

4. **Howl's Moving Castle (2004):** Examines themes of war, love, and transformation, set against a backdrop of magical realism.

5. **Grave of the Fireflies (1988):** A powerful anti-war film exploring the impact of conflict on two siblings during World War II.

6. **Kiki's Delivery Service (1989):** Focuses on self-discovery, independence, and the challenges of growing up.

7. **The Wind Rises (2013):** Tells the story of an aeronautical engineer against the backdrop of historical events, reflecting on creativity, passion, and the moral implications of invention.

8. **Porco Rosso (1992):** Explores themes of identity, war, and redemption through the tale of a World War I flying ace transformed into a pig.

9. **Castle in the Sky (1986):** Features an adventurous tale with themes of environmentalism and the consequences of human greed.

10. **Whisper of the Heart (1995):** Focuses on adolescence, dreams, and self-discovery, emphasizing the importance of pursuing one's passions.

These brief insights into a selection of Studio Ghibli films highlight their exploration of diverse themes, including environmentalism, identity, and the human connection with nature. Each film is a unique artistic expression that often combines fantasy with deep, thought-provoking narratives.
