Nevertheless, episode 4

I’m on episode 4 of Nevertheless and my thoughts so far:

Nabi, girl, please develop some healthy sleepwear options! Bras do no count as pyjamas and you should not leave a hair tie on your wrist while sleeping. 😭 (Your arteries will thank you later.);

I can’t exactly figure out the male lead since he seems to be the “Bright” of South Korea (meaning that his whole thing is an intense gaze, making it hard for to ascertain his acting chops) -> moving on;

They better make Sol and Jiwan and wlw couple or I’m packing my bags to Seoul to personally make a complaint! 😤;

I really like Bitna and Kyuhyun together, they have nice vibes.

[coffeetraces]

the judge from hell: ending thought dump

i would say i'm insane that the first thought i had when the credits rolled was "where's human bitna's soul???" not because the drama would be better if she shows herself, but because they showed her escaping and just didn't give us any closure. nevertheless, despite this, they gave us such a unique way to justify justitia's stay on her body. not to mention the bael deal (giving her 3 years of vacation before returning) and the cliffhanger lucifer deal (10 sinners killed in a year to be fully human) (we should get a season 2 at this point). the three scenes leading to the ending clearly showed us how her morals changed in the way she was conflicted with her decision about the un-remorseful defendant, to her (VERY BEAUTIFUL) callback on her scene with the children asking her about justice.

they also resolved the serial killing trope really well. the idea already of making the murderers feel how they killed their victims had such a nice build up from the first SA suspect until this serial killer. then when they built the coffin displays for all the victims while J was hanging himself was, in a way, a peaceful closure for the victims. it showed his remorse (despite bitna forcing him to do so), and putting an end to their worries that justice won't be served to him (he escaped, plus the way he told myeongsuk ahjumma that he was eating well inside jail) and he got what he deserved. again, not to mention that in the earlier episode, bitna and her chief judge refused to give in to the assemblymen's pressure to acquit him. i know, justitia has her own firm judgement already. but it made her human anyways.

side note: i found it funny (a bit) that bitna's death scene in episode 13 never fazed me. was this an effect of snowdrop still? jk.

and coming from this - i loved the pay off of every decision and interaction bitna and gabriel had. i already had the vibe initially that every test gabriel gave bitna would be beneficial for her to have more points from God, hence the reincarnation. and the cute scene too at the end - where his new form asked her to treat her to burgers because she promised on her funeral that she'll buy her dinner. the details of this show is very meticulous and i love it.

it was also so heartwarming to show all the victims after two years with the closures they showed. it's also really a good thing that the show only showed around 5 suspects instead of stretching it to how many episodes they have (a lot of law shows do that) so we still get to see everyone.

and, of course - han daon and kang bitna. i loved how much they trusted each other's judgments when it comes to the heavy decisions about their morality. i think this is the best way to show a relationship - or if anyone should pick a partner in the future, it would be with someone who trusts your wisdom to choose what's best for you. and both of them are, in a way, morally good decision makers. not to mention they were both so supportive of each other. daon never gave bitna the burden of giving up her future in hell by not doing the killings. he has his role as a detective, she has her role as a judge. such a nice partnership! and when it comes to their romantic scenes, i'm fine with all the subtle and natural moments that they had. they didn't have any extravagant cliche romance scenes except for the imaginary wedding. the long kiss was also a huge pay off after all the teasing of steamy moments with no kisses, interrupted kisses, the pecks, then we get "[nv] you should kiss me as much as you love me." [!!!!!!!!!!!] damn!

and park shinhye, of course! the best thing that happened to this drama. i apologize as i was a bit doubtful of her. i didn't like how she portrayed cha eunsang in the heirs and now i realized it was just because the writing of her character was so goddamn stale. but like what the director said - if there was an actress who can show her subtle cute style and be an action star villain-main character, it should be her. she showed well how justitia's mentality transitioned from being a full blown demon with no remorse to someone who felt immense sympathy from the victims and han daon's experience, and of course, the girlboss girlfriend vibe.

of course, not everything in this drama is unique. but it is refreshing. it also stresses important messages about justice that should be said especially in this era - the number one rule of justice is the law should not forgive what the victims couldn't. apologizing is an obligation, but forgiveness is not. justitia's trials cover admission of crime, asking for forgiveness to the victims, and remorse for the deed, all three core things that people sometimes forget when cases like murders and such happen. korea should know better after seeing this show. [coughs]

and, as always, we should never waste the potential of kim jaeyoung and park shinhye. GIVE THEM A MOVIE!!!!!

also kim jae young the new korea IT boy lfg

[jinhyun]

Who would be who if watercolor characters were in nevertheless??

omg this is such a fun question :')

like obviously y/n and hyunjin were inspired in the main couple aka nabi and jaeeon but, BUT, hear me out. it was more bc of the whole vibe of them and their interactions but i feel like if we have to choose actual characters y/n resembles gyuhyun better hyunjin resembles bitna. bc nabi and jaeeon were always in this kind of limbo but it was meh, idk how to explain it. whereas bitna was afraid of commitment and would sleep around (cough hyunjin cough) and gyuhyun was in love with her to the point to be willing to let go and fall for her over and over only to be let down again when he only wanted their relationship to be fr and for bitna to ake him seriously and not just to hook up :( but then again we know she started falling during their fall out and she went into denial and started getting jealous of other girls he interacted with and. hyunjin, i'm looking at u.

i feel like minho also gives bitna vibes but we're gonna go with hyunjin now bc Commitment issues.

seungmin and cherry would be eunhan and minyoung bc Unproblematic Angels in a healthy relationship 😔🩷

anddddd idk who else tbh kdñsjds if anyone else gets a certain character's vibes in parallel with watercolor feel free to hit me up 🤧

[valberryjuice]

ive been watching Nevertheless and honestly i couldnt care less for the main couple the guy is a walking red flag but on god i stayed for the lesbians

i really didnt expect it to be an actual lesbian romance for the 2 side characters and just stayed for the queerbaiting cause im weak for Sol but im glad it was actually gay 🤧 although im on episode 8 and idk if they will kiss on screen or not

i also really like the other het couple Bitna? and her guy hes cute

[coolbeansbuddyofmine]

ro I know we rarely interact but curious about ✨ and adding the 🌈 for funsies <3

HI SEL!! i've been so ia for the longest time and im still in the middle of a lot of work but i have the time to take a breath it feels like

also yay thank u for ur ask!!

✨What's a fic you've posted you wish you could breathe life into again and have people talking about it? (or simply a fic you wish got more credit)

so, as per usual, i'm not a concise person so i'll give two varieties of answers for this between my finished fics and my to-be-completed ones (bc i will finish all my fics one day---they're incomplete not abandoned)

so finished fics:

so my contenders are between both of these because they were really specific ideas that either i had (in the case of the lawschool fic) or that were sent to me (the f4 fic) and i had a lot of fun writing it. the general speed of the actual writing was very very fast because i was so invested and i knew what i would write too.

of course, my popular fics like the famous aus in vincenzo fandom and the countless f4 fics were very very fun too, but they get their due credit. i think these are some of my (if i can say this even) more "underrated" fics so to speak. people do like them and all, but i think i like it much more than people do, if that makes sense.

i want to have the same energy as a writer bc i find myself lacking it that i had when i was writing this approximately a year before, and the same strength of my brainrot ideas that motivate me to write.

for my unfinished fics:

so the fiery priest fic was the product of a fever dream at night that i spent furiously writing down in a notebook as soon as i woke up, and i think it's one of my best works personally. if you've watched the show, i highly encourage you to read this fic of mine. i think it deals with the emotional genres of second chance romance, enemies to lovers, angst that i think are my strengths. so yes, if the fandom were more popular, i think (hope) it'd get the due credit it deserves.

the vincenzo fic is really a labour of love (as are all my fics, but this one a bit more so). i love intolerable cruelty the movie, and i think men who think of themselves as tough pining for the strong as needles unbreakable woman is beautiful trope and i believed it'd translate well to the show. i just enjoyed writing it so much, and i'm so cognizant of all my unfinished fics that i know exactly what i need to finish, my ideas that i had because my entire ao3 page is a labour of love for me in between a hectic college and work live juggling school and 5 jobs and extracurriculars. so, yeah, i hope my vincenzo mutuals show this fic the love i have for it.

🌈is there a fic that you worked *really fucking hard on* that no one would ever know? maybe a scene/theme you struggled with?

i think the easy answer to this one is:

so, this ended my two-ish month hiatus and i've not published anything since though i've written a lot of fanfic and other creative works as well. long story short, this was a very difficult and heartfelt piece for me that was less a fanfic and more a personal, third-person essay towards my mental state at the time after a very painful breakup with my longterm partner and then a subsequent short-lived fling/situationship that went from 5 to 90 in very little time and also ended badly. i've since been just healing from that sort of, and this particular piece was the rawest i'd felt right after both instances and i was very emotionally spent and used and unstable.

(i'm much better now! if any of y'all were wondering <3)

the better, proper answer(s) as a writer would be:

so, the nevertheless fic, as a character study was honestly an ugly exploration into myself because i relate to bitna as a person painfully so. i've been her (pretty recently too) and while our situations are/were different, i think the emotional resonance within us is strong and so while it started off as something fun, it became a challenging exploration of the self disguised as a character study. (i realize this is a similar answer to the previous fic but idc)

for the lawschool fic, i love hanahaki and i love angst. like i'll read and angst and i'll cry and i'll enjoy that sweet sweet pain and emotional catharsis and there's an alternate ending version to this in my drafts somewhere that made me ugly-cry claire danes circa romeo and juliet style and i think grief and unrequited love is so deeply personal to me as a theme i fucking love it.

thanks sel for your ask!! as per usual, i wasnt concise at all but i did say i wouldnt be in the beginning.

love,

coolbeans (ro)

link to the original post if anyone else wants to ask me more! i'm finally back (proper) for the better i think <3 ask me more things im currently accepting prompts <3 !!!

“Cheers!” You shouted over the chaos, raising your glass. The whole group soon followed, glasses all clinking together. You downed your glass in one go, head tilted back as you let the bitter taste of alcohol flow reach your tongue. “Calm down, it’s not a race,” Jae-eon teased, patting your shoulder. “No! Have more Y/n!” Bitna exclaimed, offering you another drink, which you gladly took.

“This is a celebration,” you shrugged your shoulders, downing another shot. “What are we celebrating exactly?” Sol shouted over the chaos, making you furrow your brows slightly. “I don’t know yet, but I’ll find out soon.” You said confidently, leaving Sol dumbfounded. It wasn’t long before you were mumbling incoherent things, trying to get up and dance every now and then.

You were always pulled back down by Sol reminding you that this was a restaurant not a club. The pout on your lips did make it really hard for her to resist your pleas, making her squint her eyes at you every time. “Dance with me?” You asked her for the hundredth time, hiccuping between each word.

By now everyone had parted ways, leaving you and Sol alone outside the restaurant. She only smiled at your request, ignoring you as you complained. She wrapped your arm over her shoulder, supporting your wait as she began walking. “You’re pretty,” you mumbled, staring at her side profile in a drunken daze.

Sol turned away from you, looking out into the night with a bright blush coating her cheeks. In your drunk state, you gripped her chin, forcing her to face you. Her breath hitched as you came face-to-face, noses almost touching. “Y/n,” she warned, but doing nothing to remove herself. “Pretty,” was all your said, caressing her cheek.

Blinking rapidly, you seemed to come to your senses, shaking your head as you pulled away. You tried to walk on your own, only stumbling a few steps before Sol’s arm was wrapped securely around your waist. “Thank you,” you said shyly, not saying anything else for the rest of the walk.

“Will you be okay by yourself?” Sol question upon reaching your doorstep, looking at you with concern etched on her face. You only hummed in response, refusing to look at the taller girl. “Good night,” she whispered, unsure of what to do. “Night,” you managed to stutter out, then slipping into the confines of your home. Sol sighed, staring at your door with mixed feelings. She knew it was wrong, but there was just something about you that had her heart racing.

~~

“Look who it is,” Sehun said, pointing towards that roof door. You emerged looking like you hadn’t drunk a thing last night, hair tied neatly in a bun. “I come bearing gifts!” You announced, throwing out snacks to everyone as you made your rounds, greeting everyone with a hug. Sol was surprised you even looked at her after last night, but you greeted her the same way as you did the others.

Taking a seat beside Jiwan, you smiled mischievously at the girl. “New flavour?” You asked, holding your hand out expectantly. “Candyfloss,” she said, handing over her vape. Grinning, you rested it between your lips, inhaling the sweet taste. Jiwan giggled when you blew the smoke back in her face, swatting your arm playfully.

Giving it back to her, you blushed slightly when she didn’t even wipe it before copying your own actions. The two of you continued to chat about anything that came to mind, blocking out the world around you. “A little birdie told me you got hammered last night,” Jiwan looked at you, curiosity filling her eyes.

“It’s too bad you weren’t there,” you pouted, leaning back in your chair. “Ah, cute!” Jiwan squealed, pinching your cheeks lightly. She let her hands linger for a while, getting lost in your eyes. A loud laugh brought her back to reality though, turning her attention back to the group. However, her eyes kept wandering back to you. Admiring how careless you looked when laughing, head thrown back in amusement.

To her it seemed that everything about you was perfect, Jiwan wanted nothing more than to draw your perfect features. When you noticed her gaze, you turned to face her, a smile brightening as you made eye contact. You reached down to squeeze her hand, not letting it linger for too long. Instead you leaned forward, resting your head on her shoulder.

The action had her blushing, Jiwan couldn’t help but think about all the possibilities. Her mind raced with thoughts, as a toothy grin tugged on the corners of her lips. Having you so close made her heart rate pick up, beating a mile a minute. She knew it was just a friendly gesture, but she couldn’t help but let her mind wander.

~~

Another day meant another party for you, which also led to another hangover. Everyone always wondered how you managed to get black out drunk each night, yet still come into classes looking fresh as ever. “Y/n!” A high-pitched voice exclaimed from behind you, making you whip your head around. You were tackled into a hug, when you realised who it was, your arms came to wrap around Jiwan’s neck.

“What’s got you all excited?” You asked, pulling back, yet she kept her arms tightly around your waist. “Nothing, just happy to see you.” Jiwan smiled up at you, eyes glowing with joy. Catching sight of a tall figure leaning up against the lockers, you peaked your head over Jiwan’s shoulder. “Hey Sol,” you said casually to the older girl, who nodded at you in response.

“Will you come to lunch with us today?” Jiwan asked, practically jumping with excitement. “Hmm, I don’t know. I said I’d help Jae-eon with something,” you shrugged your shoulders. Jiwan’s eyebrows threading together, a frown growing on her face. “Oh, okay,” she said defeated.

“Come on, I’ll buy you some food,” Sol said to her girlfriend. Jiwan nodded along, however the frown remained. “Well, I’ll catch up with your two later.” You said, strolling away without another word. Two piercing gazes follow you as you walk, eyeing you with frowns.

“You like her,” Sol stated, watching you round the corner, disappearing completely from her line of sight. “What?” Jiwan whipped her head around, eyes wide in shock. “You like her,” the taller one stated simply, now turning to face her girlfriend. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she stuttered out, trying desperately to defend herself.

“You look at her the way you look at me,” Sol concluded. However, her face didn’t convey sadness, instead she looked almost understanding. “I’m sorry, it’s just a little crush, it’ll fade. You know I love you,” Jiwan ranted, trying her best to explain whatever it was she felt for you.

“It’s okay,” Sol hushed her, pulling the shorter girl into a hug. “I get it,” she said, patting Jiwan’s pack. The latter sighing in relief, it wasn’t until she realised what her girlfriend had confessed did she pull away. “What do you mean you get it?!” She exclaimed, confusion clear on her face.

“There’s just something about Y/n,” Sol said, having trouble voicing her emotions. “You too?” Jiwan titled her head cutely, making the taller's heart melt. Nodding in response, she patted her girlfriends head, mutual understanding washing over the two of them.

And thus began the conquest of your heart.

~~

Sol and Jiwan went about their day as usual, class, lunch, class again, then finally group dinner. They sat impatiently, looking to the entrance every time they heard the door sliding open. Their hopes faded as the night went on, no sign of you. Rather than dwelling on it, they tried to make the best of the situation, participating in whatever chaos the group was creating. Besides, they could see you tomorrow anyway.

“Why is that boy always late?” Bitna said exasperatedly, earning the attention of the group. “Who?” Gyuhyun asked in a bored tone. “Park Jae-eon,” she responded, looking at her phone screen. The familiar sound of the sliding door had everyone turning once more, focusing on the person entering.

In the entrance stood Park Jae-eon, with you rested on his back, a tired look on your face. Your arms draped around his neck, while his hands held you buy your legs, two plastic bags in his grasp as well. “Yah, why’re you so late?” Bitna questioned, raising a brow at the two of you. “I had to carry her all the way here, and we bought ice cream too.” He said simply, with a smile on his face.

Jae-eon sets you down on the chair next to him, letting your body fall into his side. “What happened to her?” Sehun asked, poking your arm. “Long story,” he answered vaguely, unaware of two pairs of eyes burning into the side of his head. “Who wants desert?” The charmer asked, earning a bunch of cheers from your table.

Not much time passed before everyone started to leave, all going to attend to their own things. Leaving only a few of your friends at the table, the atmosphere suddenly a lot quieter. “Someone should get her home,” Nabi gestured to your half asleep figure. Getting up, Jae-eon began to lift you up with him.

“We’ve got it,” Jiwan said quickly, tugging at your arm. You stumbled into Sol’s embrace, her jacket rested atop your shoulders in mere seconds. Nodding appreciatively, Jae-eon went back to his seat, leaving the girls to take care of you. They speedily ushered you out of the restaurant, walking you in the direction of your house.

The walk home was mostly silence, aside from your few drunken babbles. “Where are your keys Y/n?” Sol asked, deciding you weren’t sober enough to be left to your own devices. “I’m not sure,” you said, humming in thought. You spaced out, making the taller girl sigh. “Try her bag,” Jiwan instructed, while she checked your pants pockets.

Blood rushed to Jiwan’s face as you leaned all your body weight on her, face nuzzled into her neck. Your soft breaths left goosebumps in their wake, while the shorter tried her best to hold you up. “Found them!” Sol announced, pulling your keys from your bag, quickly unlocking the door to your apartment.

They lead you to your bedroom, laying you down on your bed carefully. Your eyes fluttering shut as soon as your body met the mattress, both girls stuck to their places. You looked so peaceful, gorgeous even while heavily intoxicated. A faint whisper coming from your lips had their eyes widening. “Stay, please,” you mumbled, seemingly asleep.

Unsure of what to do, they decided it was best to leave your room, maybe they could crash on the couch. “Don’t go,” you whined, hand reaching up to tug on the sleeve of Sol’s shirt. Your grip was weak, but it was clear that you were still awake now. “Both of you stay,” you murmured. Looking at each other, the two shrugged their shoulders.

What was the harm in sleeping in the same bed? Taking a spot on either side of you, the girls lay on the bed. Both of them take a moment to admire your side profile, until you start to move, toss and turn. You found comfort in resting your head in the crook of Jiwan’s neck, snuggling into her side. Your hand comes to reach for Sol, pulling her closer to you.

Both girls looked at each other over your head, the widest of smiles on their faces. Sol and Jiwan let themselves fall into unconsciousness, having what was possibly one of the best sleeps of their lives. A content smile on each of their faces, even while in a peaceful slumber.

~~

Groaning, your eyes fluttered open, the natural light streaming through your room momentarily blinding you. Going to roll over, you found yourself trapped by two pairs of arms draped over your torso. Adjusting your eyes, you turned your head slightly, jaw dropping in shock at the sight before your. There lay both Jiwan and Sol either side of you, dead asleep.

The pain in your head was now long forgotten, the only thing plaguing your thoughts was the two beautiful women in bed with you. ‘How drunk did I get last night?’ You thought to yourself, wrapped up in your thoughts to notice the movement beside you. “Y/n-ah,” a sweet voice brought you from your thoughts.

Looking up, your gaze meets Jiwan’s, a tired, yet happy look on her face. “Good morning,” she mumbled, pulling you impossibly closer to her body. The contact had your brain short-circuiting, but your body relaxed in her hold. “Penny for your thoughts?” She asked, lightly poking at your cheeks.

“What happened last night?” You asked, uncertainty lacing your voice. Jiwan’s mouth opened and closed like a fish, not words coming from her, as she furrowed her brows in thought. A groan from behind you cutting off her thoughts, both looking to Sol, whose eyes were now reopened.

“Morning,” she mumbled, smiling when she caught sight of the two of you. “What happened last night?” You asked bluntly, panic started to invade your thoughts. “Hey, calm down.” Sol soothed, running her hand through your hair. You leaned into her touch automatically, racing thoughts starting to fade away.

“We like you Y/n!” Jiwan blurted out, not being able to hold it in any longer. “You what?” You asked, voice shaky, making them worry. “Look, I’ll just get straight to the point. Jiwan and I have both developed feelings for you,” Sol explained. You blinked rapidly at that, your head still trying to put together all of the pieces.

“You like me,” you said to yourself, trying to get it through your head. “The both of you?” You questioned, to which they both nodded their heads, unsure of how you were going to react. Were you going to kick them out? Or worse, never speak to them again? Their heads rushed with negative thoughts, while you processed their words in silence.

“What if I like you, both of you?” You asked, breaking their chain of thoughts. Jiwan grinned, while Sol was still hesitant, not knowing what you were thinking. Sitting up abruptly, you could face both of them. “How would it work?” You asked, curiously.

“I’m not quite sure, but I think it’s something you figure out as you go along.” Sol said, hoping to put some ease to your mind. “So do you like us?” Jiwan asked eagerly, with a hopeful look in her eyes. Tilting your head to the side, you looked at the two of them carefully, replaying all of your memories with them.

“I think I do,” you hummed thoughtfully. “Actually, I know I do,” you confirmed. Bright grins spread across all of your faces, as you lay back down beside the two. “I’m glad,” Sol said, interlacing her fingers with yours. “Me too!” Jiwan said enthusiastically, taking your other hand.

“So, what does this mean?” You asked, still trying to wrap your head around the situation. “It can mean whatever you want it to mean. We’re willing to take it slow, since this is new to all of us.” Sol said, ever the wiser. “Okay, then.” You smiled, leaning into their touch.

The rest of the day was spent reminiscing on old memories, while laughing about how oblivious you all were. This new step may have been scary, but it sure was worth the risk.

well all just watched this show for them, right?
