I woukd love to talk about Tomorrow When The War Began more, but it seems like there's hardly any fandom activity 😭

Books people NEED to talk about more (good or bad)

A Court Of Thorns And Roses (entire series)\ Wonderscape Nevermoor In the Dark Places (made me cry) Only a Monster Tomorrow When the War began Dark Rise The School for Good and Evil The Land of Stories A Tale of Magic

I’ve definitely forgotten some, sorry!

justice for the dogs

i need a land rover defender so badly you guys don't understand. we had one when i was little and since then it has been my dream car. i will have one on day TRUST

I got five eps of TWTWB left so I think I am gonna do It's OK That's Love rewatch.

God, that drama HIT.

It starts out as a love story between a somewhat eccentric popular writer and a quirky shrink and then ends up as something heartbreaking and darker and amazing.

(I still remember the shriek I let out when it turned out Kang Woo was not real!!!)

It's yet another entrant into a small but amazing category of kdramas which have the premise of trauma is gonna fuck you upppppp (they say he has schizophrenia but what they describe and how they deal with it is more like he has extreme trauma that manifests as his hallucination; and when trauma is addressed he can process some of it, but whatever, I don't watch kdramas for realism.)

This, Flower of Evil, Kill Me Heal Me etc. I tend to fall for them like a ton of bricks.

It doesn't hurt that JIS anf GHJ are such acting powerhouses.

(It's also trigger warning central for suicidal ideation and child abuse but that goes without saying.)

i would also have been so fine if yeon stayed dead from episode 16 😐 like—i want him to be happy with ji ah but not at literally everyone else’s expense.

honestly i think the main problem with that show is that it’s built for you to care only about the two mains but every supporting actor made their characters so interesting it almost became an ensemble deal. i wish it were more like goblin where the five “main characters” all got fairer endings so no matter who your fave was, you couldn’t be that mad. totnt imitated enough of goblin, they could have done this too.

also go seung-tak is STEALING MY HEART WHY IS HE SO FLUFFY. i want to kiss whoever gave him that short permed hair hhhhhhhh. i’m enjoying the plot but the other characters are pretty dull imo (except for young-min, rain is a pretty decent actor to my surprise). maybe i just need to let it grow on me.

i’m glad you made it through twtwb!

Interestingly, Goblin was my first LDW drama and the one that got me obsessed with him, whereas TOTNT put me out of love with him. IMO, it was partly the way Yeon’s character was written in season 1 - his sole purpose in life was Jia - and that began to get on my nerves after a few episodes, and partly it was his acting. I got the feeling he too got bored of it after a while and sleepwalked thorough the second half of the show. Whereas in season 2, he was a delight to watch, though I have a lot of complaints about his character in 1938 as well. But he was a lot better than in the first season.

Go seung-tak is an absolute delight to watch. he’s a fluffy ball of fur, but there are layers to his personality that are uncovered as we proceed further into the show. That’s where Beom gives us his best (as usual). As for the other characters, I didn’t care much for the ladies - se-jin was an absolute bore. They could’ve cut down some of her crying time and given it to Young-tak scenes. I was mighty pissed about how she and Young-min treat poor Seung-tak - I’ll reserve discussion on that until you finish. Nothing much to write about characters other than the leading men - though I liked Tess and the 3 coma ghosts.

I haven’t resumed TWTWB yet. I was referring to angel Gook-soo from Padam Padam. He’s adorable and effervescent and Beom’s dimples, of course, always bring a smile to my face. In fact, my major disappointment with Hidden identity was, though he was hot and did his character full justice, we never got to see those gorgeous dimples 😀

I loved him in the woman who still wants to marry. He’s the ultimate romantic in that one - you should see the way he woos the woman he loves!

BTW, any idea about Dream? I’ve heard it’s bad but is it that terrible? I’m also interested in checking out Psychometry.

[cleo-serotonin]

me too. if they continued either the movies or series i feel like there’d actually be a fandom 😔

tomorrow when the war began is so good and deserves more recognition somebody sedate me 😫

[thecouchsofa]

ask game ❤️‍🔥 and 🧚‍♀️

❤️‍🔥 what character do you simp for most often

lmaoooo well I guess it would have to be the blond idiot because I always end up making Harry a fucking simp in my fics so I guess that says something about me psychologically?

But it's probably Charlie. Whenever he comes up as a background character in the story I froth at the mouth

🧚‍♀️ favorite characters of all time

Look. I like male characters who have been through trauma, it just happens that way. Does this also probably say something about me psychologically? Yes. (though I tend to be attracted to golden retriever people irl so someone psychoanalyse me, I probably need it)

Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, Dean Winchester, Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski, and Homer from Tomorrow When the War Began (rogue pick). Also Ellie from TWtWB.

I'm sure there's more and I'll feel like I've sinned for forgetting them

[thetomorrowseries]

I got up and started walking around. We were in an upstairs sitting room, which Ms Lim must have used as a practice room. There was a beautiful black baby grand piano facing the window. Homer had written Heavy Metal across it in the dust with his fingers. But I had seen Lee with the lid raised, running his hands across the keys. His fingers were trembling and there was a look on his face even more passion­ate, more intense than when he looked at me. I’d been standing in the doorway watching. When he noticed me he lowered the lid quickly, almost guiltily, and said, ‘I ought to play the 1812. Get the soldiers to provide the cannons.’ I didn’t answer; just wondered why he tried to turn something that he felt so strongly about into a joke. - The Dead Of The Night, John Marsden

I just realised I never watched the last episode (which I’m doing now) and it’s got me thinking about an apocalyptic marauders au

Scenes/Pics from my story, 'Bluebird's Return' from my 'The Way The Wind Blows' or TWTWB SU AU

[unturbulent]

We didn’t touch and fall all over one another. We just looked at each other for a while and spoke in the way we knew how, with our eyes, letting known things pass between us. Lee took my hand very carefully. It was the most intimate thing I’d ever experienced. It was saying that despite me going off with Jeremy and him betraying me that awful time and all my hang ups that made him wait and wait for me, we could still be here. Lee fell asleep first but I wasn’t long after him.
