#but also for hanseo

[helianthus21]

like it's obviously not how it happened but I like the thought of Han-seo going on this rant at Jipuragi about how cringe Han-seok is and somehow getting stuck on how his ears are so huge and it's a trait inherited from his mother so Han-seo has been spared from this "deformity" and "handsome CEO my ass", and Vincenzo listened to this and thought "I'm about to be hilarious" and straight up shot Han-seok's ear off

[ambivartence]

sing us a song, you're the piano man!

[autistichanseo]

I love how everyones just decided “fuck hanseok and paolo actually they doesn’t even exist anymore” and are now making “hanseo and vincenzo are biological brothers” aus because something this fandom does well is pretty much go “fuck canon I’ll make them happy even if I have to fight god himself to do so” and I admire that a lot

[eatingyourteeth]

ok but actually new au time so I can cope still; Hanseok is a necromancer who can bring the dead back to the living but they keep their memories from being dead and will always strongly remember what happened to them. And him bringing back Hanseo.....

[skogmord]

What you doing out here with all that ass? Double cheeked up on a Sunday afternoon, hella ass

#except they all take turns being the third wheel exactlyyy✨

Couple + Sibling/relative third wheel is honestly an S-tier trio dynamic and I wish we saw more of this in media.

Vincenzo & Han-Seo Headcanons

Requested by anonymous: Requested by anon: Hello! Can you please write dating headcanons for Vincenzo? For reader's background : Reader's family used to be close friends with the Cassano family. Vincenzo and Paolo both always loved her. But she left for Korea because she didn't like it there. When Vincenzo went to Korea, he searched for her and they worked together. And when Paolo came to take revenge on him, he saw her. 💥💥 bonus points if Hanseok/Hanseo also loves her. Tysm 😊

Pairing: Vincenzo Cassano x fem!reader (a bit of Han-Seo x fem!reader)

Word Count: 0.6k words

Vincenzo hated the fact that he and Paolo both liked you

because it creates a riff between the brothers

you seem to notice this too

it's yet another reason for you to leave

when you do, it is sudden

you just tell them you're going to Korea only a minute before you step on the plane

then you're gone

years later, Vincenzo heads to Korea as well

not because of you, but it's definitely a bonus for him

he does not know where you live, but he's quick to find out

mafia skills after all, he can track down a person with ease

you are glad to see him

until you find out what he's there for and how

but you help him out nonetheless, after all he is your friend

and a dear friend to you at that

maybe more, but you weren't going to admit that

when you meet Han-Seo for the first time, when he first comes to the plaza, you can only laugh as you see him gawk at you

he, unlike Vincenzo, is very open with his affection

the first time, he is literally just staring at you

you think he's cute

Vincenzo finds it annoying

he won't admit he's jealous of course

it becomes a funny sight for onlookers and you just find it hilarious

because on one hand you have Han-Seo

who is very forward, but still shy

and then you have Vincenzo

who is basically a tsundere as he won't admit his feelings

Han-Seo doesn't mind that Vincenzo likes you too, clearly

The same could not be said of Vincenzo, who hates that Han-Seo likes you too

but as the mission continues and Han-Seo grows on him, Vincenzo seems to mind less and less

when Han-Seo actually asks you out, he also asks Vincenzo

which is a bit weird at first, but you don't mind much

the date is fun for all three of you

it happens a few more times, always all three of you

Han-Seo is clearly in love with both you and Vincenzo

much like a puppy

Vincenzo is mostly in love with you, but he has a soft spot for Han-Seo

you just liked both men

they're special in their own ways

one cute puppy and one tsundere cat (aka Han-Seo and Vincenzo respectively)

it's Han-Seo that asks you and Vincenzo out

you accept

Vincenzo does too, but he doesn't directly say it

just grunts and such

the relationship is fun

Han-Seo is a cuddler

Vincenzo is more of a watcher

it's because of his mafia stand, Vincenzo can't relax himself much

but he loves to watch how you and Hans-Seo relax, usually in each other's arms

When Paolo comes to Korea to kill Vincenzo

as Vincenzo walks up to the roof, he is painfully aware of the three men on his tail

as they pounce him, he grabs one of the men and puts a gun to his head

"Did Paolo send you?" Vincenzo asks in Italian

the men scoff before freezing as they hear another click of a gun

you put it against the man's head that is pointing his at Vincenzo

"Note of advise, we're always together" you growl as you push your gun closer against the man's skull

the men leave and you pull out your phone, calling Paolo

when he answers, you start cursing at him in Italian

Paolo is completely quiet on the other side of the phone as you cuss him out

does not call back after you hung up on him

Now...

let's talk about the end of the series

You're not there when Han-Seo dies

Han-Seok is dead as Vincenzo holds Han-Seo's body

You only find out the day after it happened as Vincenzo comes home, eyes red and looking as tired as you've ever seen him

he tells you what happens while hugging you

holds you as you cry over Han-Seo's death

he tries to stay strong for you, forcing himself to not cry

you and Vincenzo visit Han-Seo's grave every month for as long as you're in Korea

if you do ever move back to Italy, you will visit Han-Seo's grave twice a year

his birthday and the day of his death

I’m down bad with my fixation on Tale of the Nine Tailed.

Let me just get one thing out of the way: I am extremely normal (not-) about the Lee brothers, and with the parallel to Vincenzo and Jang Hanseo. As much as I’d like to say how my project goes, I won’t be able to share, woof.

At least not right now, but with Lee Yeon and Lee Rang…

Yeon is extremely emotionally constipated; like he’s an old fox and has lived a long time so he just doesn’t want to deal with anything. Also the pain of losing Aeum- I’m not going to sit here and defend Yeon, let alone Rang. I adore Rang, but he isn’t an angel in this. He’s like a wet, feral fox- cat that would rather swipe its claws at you than let you pet him.

So far, I’ve come up with a multitude of AU’s and if anyone is interested in my utter nonsense, I’m willing to talk about them! Later— because as soon as this post is finished, I’m probably going to bed… I’ve got an event tomorrow unfortunately.

So without much further ado, read below the cut for more information!

A Tail of Two Foxes: If anyone manages to figure out this poor reference, I will love you forever (/platonic). Lee Yeon’s history with Rang plays out a little differently… I’m not entirely sure what direction I’m going with this, but if I don’t get a bit of feral! Yeon and his adoptive little cub, I’m losing my marbles.

UNTITLED: This AU doesn’t have a name but I’m also perpetually stuck in brainrot over one tiny thing — what if Lee Rang and Ki Yuri’s roles had been reversed? As in if Rang was the captured fox in Russia instead of Ki Yuri. I read a fanfic on this, but unfortunately it just didn’t stick and I thought of creating my own?

[REDACTED]: The universe for the Vincenzo x Tale of the Nine Tailed AU! This one won’t be talked about until I release the fanfic but keep this one in your minds! /j

I did have one more idea but it seems to have completely slipped my mind. I’m just seeing the different possibilities we could’ve had for Yeon and Rang. Rang is definitely the runt of the litter, and while he isn’t some perfect little snowdrop, he’s just in my mind. Constantly.

I’m also envisioning the thought of Yeon and Rang meeting as fox cubs, which is just my attempt to make something fluffy? Yeon isn’t sunshine and daises either but he loves his brother, I know he does. They’re like fire and ice, black and white. And goodness me, I know I’m not going to shut up about them.

[strelliata]

decided to rewatch vincenzo but in japanese dub for the funsies... turns out it was the best decision ever. so here's my thoughts the japanese version of the jang bros!

hanseok's voice actor uses this cutesy voice for his junwoo persona, which I like A LOT. then he switches to this deep, husky anime villain-esque kinda voice for his real self. which is super cool since taecyeon didn't really differentiate his voices that much. I totally didn't mean to shit on taecyeon he's a great actor I love him but since this is a dub, the voice actor probably has more effort to pour into making hanseok's personality shine from his voice alone.

hanseo's voice actor sounds sooo similar to kensho ono that I actually thought it was him initially, but apparently it wasn't him. hanseo's voice actor has that quality that sounds good when he's yelling, and I think that fits hanseo a lot. some things I've noticed is that hanseo calls hanseok "bosu" (boss) and sometimes slips to "nii-san" (brother) when they're alone. also he uses the personal pronoun "watashi" when talking to hanseok, but uses "ore" for everyone else, which is probably just him being polite, but I find it kinda cute lol.

literally the only one who had a sane reaction to Vincenzo being revealed to be mafia was Han-seo, everyone else is simply insane😔

[autistichanseo]

When you think about how joonwoo was just a caricature of hanseo, it makes the “they’ll forgive you if you beg right?” thing joonwoo says to chayoung fucking horrific.

like. he’s literally making fun of how hanseo would beg hanseok to stop hurting him.

What The Fuck.

not even Mentioning how. he tells someone. who left a company because they killed her father. to go back and beg them for forgiveness so they take her back into the company. Doesn’t That Sound Interesting. Huh. Doesn’t Parallel Anything. Or Anyone.

…..

found something to add to my reading list uwu

i have NOT read these yet, so i can't give warnings but... come on this is jang bros :,) most jang bros content is red flags certified. but please, if you have any reservations or triggers, read the tags before reading

Only You and Me by Run_of_the_mill

“Hyungnim is happy tonight,” Han Seo answered. “And you like my cooking. So, I thought I’d do something nice and make you even happier.” Joon Woo snorted and buried his face in the crook of Han Seo's neck. “You know it’s not just your cooking that I like, right?” he asked. He tightened his hold around Han Seo’s waist and jerked him back so that they were hip to hip. Han Seo froze. Yes, he was more than well aware of the other things Joon Woo liked about him. “Later,” said Han Seo, patting Joon Woo's crossed arms on his stomach. “Let me feed you, first.” Or Han Seo reflects on his relationship with the man he fears most. That he also happens to be the man Han Seo loves most is no one’s business but Han Seo’s.

Bitter-Sweet by babynono

Like a puppet, that was all Han-seo could be.

Puppet on a Leash by teashi_no_kono_ito_hodoite 

Hanseo is his perfect pet, his pretty little puppet on strings, and Joonwoo wouldn't have him any other way. YKINMK DL;DR Note: Words in italics indicate Joonwoo switched to English.

Perfect Family: Lee Sungwoo (Myungsoo) Character Description

Lee Sungwoo (Detective at the Violent Crimes Unit of Hanseo Police Station)/ Kim Myungsoo (Special Appearance)

Detective Shin's (Kim Dohyun) junior and partner.

He always had a laid-back and relaxed personality, but he is very busy every day thanks to his partner, Detective Shin.

There are many cases, and there is also a senior who always brings in work.

However, he tends to follow this senior without complaint because he also respects his passion.

Thanks to his movie-loving wife, he is well-versed in movies. He often expresses himself by referencing special characters or scenes. As a big accident comes up at a time when he should be enjoying his newlywed life, he is also conscious of his wife's feelings, but he secretly takes his senior as a role model as he sees him find clues for a case he couldn't find himself like a character in a movie. Even if he is not as good as his senior, he feels a strong sense of responsibility and tries to find a clue to the case.

Happy blorbo blursday! I was thinking recently about how I have very few outright villains in my writing and I got curious about other people's. So tell me about your villains (or your most villain-adjacent antagonists)! - @void-botanist

here is my incomplete list of villains/antagonists:

Masryune from Summon Story

his real name is Petirik Ov'Rine

somebody once told him the reason for why summoners stay away from the Field of Teeth and he was like "sounds like an invitation"

has some delusions of grandeur but from like. a business standpoint. he thinks a great business idea is to start a war.

he summons some shidha - the type of spirit summoners are warned against ever summoning - to possess dead dragons so he can start this war

he monologues a lot

in my head he's a cross between Ardyn from FFXV and Jan Van Eck from Six of Crows, two antagonists that are fun or interesting for a hot minute before you're like PLEASE GO AWAY

he has no idea that the reason his plans keep getting tripped up is literally just a group of nobody summoners accidentally interrupting them

he throws temper tantrums but the consequences are that people die and there's blood in the streets so that's great

Alexander Gold from Magick Story

he's the calculating, calm type of antagonist. he's playing the long game and he's very good at it

when he's through, all magick in TOWN THAT STILL DOESN'T HAVE A NAME TWO YEARS ON will be linked back to him and he can live forever and control everything. that's the plan

it's not a terrible plan but it's also not a great one because magick is lowkey almost sentient and it literally can't be coerced into a single intention so this is a doomed enterprise but also while it's on its way to doom it's causing a lot of havoc so there's that

he's got this weird fling with Heidi Chorus, his partner in crime, sometimes, and they flirt super weird and torture people together

he's suave and interesting but he also kills animals so we hate him

Max (and Cam) from City Story

he's my least favorite, I hate him so much

his crimes include: abuse, coercion, blackmail, drug dealing, running an illegal fight club thing, abuse, arranging a murder, being an asshole to everyone he meets, brainwashing his brother, abuse

he hasn't even shown up in the story yet because I don't want to touch him with a ten foot pole

he sends people to hurt Rune because he believes she's his property

Cam, the brainwashed brother, wasn't always awful but now he just agrees with whatever Max says and this isn't a Jang Hanseo situation, he is OK with hurting people as long as Max doesn't hurt him. we can feel a little bad for him but that's it 'cause he is willingly terrible

and Max is just the worst

he's slimy and my least favorite and I hate him so much

I dunno who the villain/antagonist of Mercenary Story, Guild Story, or Rain Story is/are. I do also have some evil/antagonistic girls, don't worry.

Rhea from Summon Story

she's Shae's half-sister and bent on revenge

Shae is happy to be reunited with her but Rhea just wants to kill things now and doesn't care about the collateral damage

she's not all bad. maybe. I don't know if she succeeds in killing her father. yet.

I mentioned Heidi Chorus from Magick Story.

there's also Fawn from City Story, Max's favorite girlfriend. she's awful. not in the annoying, brainless kind of way. she's smart and controlling and that's why Max likes her. goodbye.

there are plenty of unnamed characters in Guild and Mercenary Stories, both good and bad, because I keep not writing them, haha.

in Anxiety Story the antagonist isn't a person, though it briefly manifests as Aiden's father.

in Youth Story there's no plot, just vibes, so no antagonist there.

Train Story is also vibes.

Romance Story has John Rusalo but then he gets redeemed and then Jack Sanderson but we kick him out of the story for being just a terrible cousin and then it's like, English law, I guess.

Apocalypse Story is vibes again.

Space Story is as well.

Hunter Story, Summer Story, Princess Story, and Gang Story barely exist.

Thief Story's antagonist is the bridge they're trying to steal, because I don't know what they're stealing it for.

Dimension Story's antagonist is grief, and the fact that these two kids can't keep ripping holes in spacetime to see each other forever. golly that's such a sad story. no wonder I'm not writing it.

thanks for asking, Sapling

[suuho]

hiii friend i hope you are doing well! i was wondering if i could ask for meta analysis of this (https://www.tumblr.com/suuho/708647383291002880/vincenzo-2021-sending-my-love-from-the-other) edit you made? like what the lyric meant to you in relation to the gifs/vincenzo and han seo, and like those lyrics mean to vincenzo about han seo; if they are about them?

this is silly and you don’t have to answer ofc heh!! i just adoreee that edit and think about it all the time heh the vincenzo community needed it heh. thank u sm!!!

hi!! i'm hanging in there, i hope you're well too!! sorry that this took a few days to answer but i had work, and also i wanted to take my time and answer this properly because that's what an analysis should be. fair warning, i haven't had that much sleep so i hope any of this makes sense, and it's also been a minute since i've made that set. (read more cause very long)

so, the edit in question. funnily enough, i pretty much knew i wanted to make this set in some capacity since that song by fall out boy was released (great song, btw) and it took a little while to formulate those thoughts into something coherent, and then to actually sit down and make that gifset. most of the stuff i make i have a vague idea of what it's supposed to look like, but this one surprised me with the overlays and the blending; i didn't expect it to look like that in the end, but i love the colors and i love it for what it is. vinzenco is obviously coded in blue and hanseo in orange/yellow, and i purposely did that. i think, hanseo's death was such an impactful moment in the show, even more than the death of vincenzo's mother, because up until then, we had watched hanseo go through heavy, positive character development, and as a viewer, that makes you root for him. actually, we have been made to root for him way earlier in the show, when we find out hanseo is a victim of abuse by his own older brother (who turns out to not be a goofy paralegal, so in that sense, they have turned the tables narratively on what jang brother to sympathize with), and is willing to change.

i think a lot of hanseo's conflict and character boils down the fact that his abuser is his own brother, someone he is conditioned to love by societal pressures and norms, and that he knows he should love in a familial way, and that he finds himself clinging to because it is all he has left of his family. he has nowhere else to go, no way out, until he meets vincenzo. it is hard to escape an abuser, and the fact that hanseo manages to do so by his own will, and with vincenzo's help, only to in the end die by the hands of his brother anyways? god, that is so tragic. that is why his death hurts so much more than the others in the show. anyways, i am digressing somewhat.

but! the edit in question. the first gif is pretty obvious in relation to the second: i wanted to show a moment in hanseo's life in which he was truly happy, a moment he spent with vincenzo. has vincenzo ever allowed himself an affection like that towards anyone? to hanseo, of course, vincenzo fills a role that has been misappropriated his entire life: the part of hyung, a big brother role that hanseok never managed to remotely tend to in the way he should have. hanseo does not have any hyungs in his life, he doesn't have someone he can trust like that, that he can love like that (i won't deny that i am a hanseo/vincenzo enthusiast because i do love them together, and i do not think of them as ~brothers in that sense, but as a mere narrative tool, that is the position vincenzo fills for hanseo in his life and in the show).

i wish we would have seen more of their quiet moments together, because i think they both gave each other something they had been missing until then.

the middle gif, of course. god, when will that scene not hurt like hell. that is more in relation to the caption and the gif after. in vincenzo's life and in the mafia, there is only way to avenge, and that is an eye for an eye. blood for blood. but the fact that vincenzo chose the cruelest punishment for hanseok specifically? that is purely motivated by the loss of hanseo. what would you trade the pain for? vincenzo chose a knife. and what did hanseo trade the pain for? a glimpse of happiness. if you are dead by the end of the story, you are dead at the beginning of it. that's how it works.

if you look at the song in general, i just love how it speaks to the both of them.

especially the pre-chorus but more so this entire first part of the song is so hanseo for me. the city always hangs a little bit lonely on me, loose / like a kid playing pretend in his father's suit. think about the starched-white shirts and high collars he wears, partly to hide the bruising of the abuse, partly like an armor, and how he lets go of it when he is around vincenzo. hanseo is quite literally playing pretend in his own life; he is controlled by his brother who continuously drills into him that he won't amount to anything, that he is stupid, that he is worthless. but hanseo is neither stupid nor worthless; he is smart, can think on his feet, is mechanically gifted. he is funny. he laughs the way someone laughs who's surprised by his own, actual laugh because he hasn't heard it in so long. his real laugh, not some approximation of it.

model house life meltdown still a modern dream letdown, it kills me / you know i'm dying out here / what would you trade the pain for? if you are dead at the end of the story, you are dead at the beginning of it. i think, hanseo is aware that he is slowly dying as a victim of his circumstances, figuratively and literally. which is what makes him reckless enough to even seek out vincenzo. a lot of hanseo's life is lived with the desperation of a dead man walking.

that bridge is such a gut-wrencher, my god. but this is the part that i find speaks more broadly to vincenzo. like i said, the loss of hanseo is what ultimately made him take a deliberately cruel, downright mortifying approach to his vengeance, to his punishment. and you were the sunshine of my lifetime / what would you trade the pain for? is obviously more in relation to vinzenco's relationship with hanseo. at least, in the intent of this set.

that goes hand in hand with i saw you in a bright-clear field, hurricane heat in my head / the kind of pain you feel to get good in the end, good in the end. that is just, exactly the scene when vinzenco confronts hanseok the last time, and remembers hanseo. whew. my god. what a gut punch.

other than that, i mostly just wanted the set to go from light to dark, because i think killing hanseok the way he did was in many ways a breaking point for vincenzo, hence all the shadows he finds himself in, and the fact that hanseo's death is the reason for it? absolutely insane. give up what you love before it does you in. vinzenco couldn't give it up, not even the memory of hanseo, and so he let it kill a part of hinself as well. he chose the knife to trade for the pain. anyways. i hope that was somehow helpful for you! thank you so much for your question!
