#Yeongno

[tarohonii]

Big issue that I tend to like the most inherently problematic characters in a series and end up having to fight in the trenches for said characters

Today’s disabled character of the day is Yeongno from How to Become a Dragon, who is visually impaired.

Do you think you can adopt these as pets?

They’re very cute and I think we could be great for each other.

Have you gotten the chance to check out the Tian Xia World Guide yet?

I have! I haven't yet sat down and read through the entire thing yet, but, of course, I went through all the monsters. I'm most happy to see THIS guy:

The Yeongno, eater of the rich and abusive. They claim to be former celestial dragons who fell to greed, who must either consume or redeem 100 other destructively greedy mortals in order to shed their broken and condemned forms and return to Heaven.

yeongno, my 1000+ year old child.. he drives me insane

A webtoon called How To Become a Dragon wrapped up recently, and then a spinoff started.

If I got to pick the subject of that spinoff, it would be the post-epilogue life of Huon, Sun, and Yeongno. Yeongno was an androgynous imoogi (snake that tried to become dragon but failed at the last step), Sun is a human whose ancestors were cursed by him, and the two of them developed an interesting relationship. Huon (whose ancestors were cursed by a different imoogi) gets a pretty straightforward crush on Yeongno.

Near the end of the pre-epilogue part of the series, for reasons too complicated to explain here, Yeongno reverts back to a snake egg, so Sun and Huon decide to raise him when he hatches.

And the bits of the epilogue focusing on that are nice! (Well, the joke about how Huon freaked out when he finally learned Yeongno was a guy all along was kinda dumb.) It's a very unorthodox family, and not just because of the weird supernatural circumstances, but everyone involved clearly cares about each other. And of course, there's the whole rest of the cast, who Huon, Sun, and Yeongno have history and chemistry with.

(Also, I wanted an excuse to share this panel.)

But the spin-off isn't about them. Instead, it's set in the distant past, and focuses on a love story between one of the other imoogis and a human. And it...eh. Yishmi didn't seem very interesting to me when he showed up in the main story, and nothing I've read in the prequel/spinoff/thing has changed my mind. It's not even an interesting romance. It's just a powerful supernatural dude coming across a suicidal lady and deciding he doesn't want her to die.

I am so excited to see more about this before it opens in July! What kind of supernatural creatures are going to be available?

hi! we're actually opening in mid july but we decided to push our buzz and opening to the end of july (or early august?) the reason why we decided to push our dates back and have been letting this ask sit for so long in our inbox is because we have been thinking and want to tread very carefully so as not to misappropriate asian culture (despite one of the admins being chinese southeast asian herself!). we realized that in the middle of research, many of the supernatural creatures that we plan to make canon come from closed culture/religion/indegeneous practices, or that there's simply not much information about them on the internet that may prove to be useful for our members that would allow them to portray them in a way that is respectful of the source material. but one thing for sure is that being said, deities from closed religions/practices or any major religions are absolutely off the limits. moving on, some canon supernatural creatures that we have fully fleshed out are:

gwishin (ghost)

dokkaebi (grim reaper)

bunian (malay folklore beings, similar to european elves)

baku (japanese mythical creature with the ability to devour nightmares)

qilin (a benevolent chinese chimerical creature)

meanwhile, some creatures that we are still researching that may not make it to the final canon creatures are:

kappa

kinnara/kinnari

cenderawasih

garuda

gumiho/kitsune/huli jing

yeongno

that being said, we take suggestions and critiques with open arms! if there's any asian supernatural creatures that you would like to see (or not see), send your suggestions over to our inbox <3

[bari-apologist]

IM SO SORRY I LITERALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT😭😭

spoiler warning for latest chapters

Anyhow, the recent arcs have been very very good! I’ll take some time later to write properly about them, but I find it neat that in episode 159, we get confirmation that Bari is queer. Hes always been very queer coded but 159 just confirms it imo, like sure they don’t say outright but I don’t really see how it can be denied that he’s queer. I’ve already talked abt this but HTBAD has such great lgbtq representation, HTBAD does a great job of depicting all kinds of relationships (queer ones , platonic ones, platonic ones familial etc) it’s such a good series Eon’s writing is the best .

HTBAD being a series about love and second chances is what makes it so beautiful, the fact it can show the range of feelings people can have and how second chances aren’t a bad thing are so<333

HTBAD also just does a Great Job of writing toxic characters too, like they’re bad people but the fact that they’re complex makes them all seem very realistic. Especially for Yeongno, the fact we the readers see him spiral into the worst version of himself in real time is why it makes what happens all the more impactful. I think it should be noted that Yeongno DID have the chance to change, but because of the type of person he is he didn’t change for the better. He knows he sucks and doesn’t really try to better himself, but he tries to do good things which end up backfiring horribly because he has good intentions but awful really bad execution. He really should just leave Sunju alone, while it’s okay to want to make amends, hes way too hasty and forceful about it and won’t give her space which is really creepy too . I strayed a bit from the OG topic but Yeongno is a Great example of anti character development.

Yeongno in General is Just interesting , hes very regretful of his actions but he doesn’t really know how to have a healthy output for his feelings so he bottles them up. The fact that he’s a liar is what ultimately leads to things crumbling apart for him, if he had told the truth a bit earlier to Sunju in its full things would’ve turned out much different than they did . Although Yeongno isn’t totally irredeemable, the pain he has caused Sunju is unforgivable and at the very least should respect her wishes

In regards to Yeongno’s friendship with Bari, based on the way Yeongno treats Bari he seems to have a soft spot for him. Yeongno doesn’t really lie to Bari or try to deceive him (at least early series 💀), and seems to genuinely care about him (early series). Yeongno is Even depicted to be a little envious of Bari because he knows Bari is so different from him, Yeongno knows Bari has what he doesn’t , pure kindness , Yeongno wants to be like Bari, at least a little bit, but doesn’t really know how to be good like Bari. Goes to show just how much his desperation changed him for the worst .

On the topic of Bari’s friendships , Bari, Yeongno, and Miri all used to be much closer 200 years ago than currently. At least, Miri and Yeongno considered themselves Bari’s friends they did NOT like each other. They just put up with each other for Bari’s sake . It seems they all came together as friends because Bari was friends with the two of them , but 200 years changed both Yeongno and Miri and they ended up drifting apart cause of the time. Early series the trio are quite literally drinking their lives away so it wouldn’t be unfair to suspect they were all just at bad points in their life and that’s why they weren’t as close, but 200 years ago, post Bari’s failed ascension they seemed to get along a little better, this whole post is just rambles so I don’t have time to find the exact episodes but I really like the flashback episodes since they give lots of introspective on the imoogi’s relationship with eachother !

HTBAD is very much a Series that becomes better on the re read. It’s already phenomenal on the first read but once you read again new things start to stand out, and seeing the series in a different perspective makes it feel new. Eon’s planning for HTBAD is SO good if you haven’t already I highly recommend re-reading this series it’s such a good experience
