- I'm begging whatever deity is listening to me: please don't let there be a scene where Dee tells the public about yak's secret place

- one more word and I'll kiss you... on the lips. (Okay but the fact that he says this and still thinks he might be in love with Taem makes me feel like this 👇🏽

- Yei you utter romantic sap 🥹🥹🥹🥹🫡

- the story of how Yei and Cher met... fucking fuck 😭😭😭

- and then ending it off with Dee knowing that no matter what his feelings, the fact that Yak is the only person who makes him feel at ease... FUCKING FUCKITY FUCK

this epsiode came for my whole existence and the next one... the next one is gonna have me on the floor THANKS!

fanfic

fairly long i guess. i’m going through a bit of a mephisto brainrot right now tbh; took a long break from obey me and came back to see 1500 AP. immediately spent all that to get a mephisto icon when the card was at level 10

was it worth it? hmm.

you have no goddamn idea what prompted you to do this

YES you applied human logic and it turned out to be right but maybe you should just stop doing that. stop thinking

mephistopheles had been a bit too mean for your liking. that’s what kicked this whole thing off to start with

maybe he didn’t mean it. maybe he did. anyway it ruined your whole day

satan had noticed your mood change and suggested something nice, which was:

“why not read something nice and fluffy?”

and then the idea had stuck itself in your head and just not let go

you do a quick search on doogle, and to your delight, the demons have not let you down!

searching up “mephistopheles x reader” returned thousands of results, and while you knew there’d be a lot of ooc writing, the idea of mephisto being not mean to you was enough to make you excited :D

you want to open up a fic right there and then, but something makes you stop. the brothers would get awfully suspicious if they saw you all blushy and giggly and pink…

you leave it for lights out where you can get all blushy and giggly and pink in secret.

you see mepisto the next day and excitedly wave hello at him. he looks at you strangely. good enough!

and then it kind of becomes an addiction. you can’t read anything else and your textbooks are a struggle when you’re thinking about all the fake mephisto romances you could be reading instead

satan asks you to review a book he found and you have to turn him down saying that you’re reading a book that’s vaguely related to horses but he wouldn’t like it because the narrator sounds like lucifer

you’re lying of course, but he doesn’t know that

and then one day, when the fanfics aren’t hitting the spot, a new idea comes to you. what if you wrote your OWN mephisto x reader fic?!

you totally brush over the fact that you actually know mephisto irl and sometimes even have conversations with him. if you just stick to the ooc template that everyone else uses it’s like a totally different person

so you jump on the devildom version of ao3 and start posting. you do this for many, many months and nobody in your circle finds out, but BOY does that fic get popular

you end up skipping a chapter because of an event and then promise to release it on wednesday, but then wednesday rolls around and you still haven’t done it AND THERE’S A STUDENT COUNCIL MEETING

the clock is ticking away and you have stuff to do, like it’s also your turn to cook dinner and you’re failing your classes, so you kind of have to go home like right now? you stick your hand up

“what’s up, MC?”

“can i go home? i really have to write this chapter.”

everyone perks up except for lucifer who’s ready to tell you off for not messing around. too bad he’s drowned out by literally everyone else

“wow! you’re writing a story?! what is it about?!”

no wonder you chose “nothinky” as your username for this fic cause you don’t think about the answer and how these demons that are crushing on you fairly obviously will react

“oh yeah it’s about me dating mephistopheles”

silence.

lucifer looks like he’s bitten into a lemon, which is kind of funny but you’ve just thought of a great line to put in your fic so you scribble that down instead

“mephistopheles. like the mephistopheles WE know or,”

“i didn’t know mephistopheles was a common name in the devildom. yeah it’s the mephisto we know?? oh, but i did write him based on the template that others used, so it’s really just a totally different person”

“wdym others.”

“well i did devour like hundreds of mephisto romance stories before this you know…”

“MC what the fuck.”

you keep going because basically you don’t know when to stop and if you keep going they might let you out earlier

“yeah i’m coming up to the part where he proposes but i was gonna ask one of you guys about that since i don’t know if it’s different down here. AND i need someone to read the story with me because even though he was supposed to be based on this template i feel like it’s a lot closer to the actual mephisto, and that would be a problem because i’m really starting to fall for this mephistopheles-not-mephistopheles”

that’s not a joke. sometimes you think about how crazy it is that you got here. as you’re explaining things about the story you don’t notice that everyone’s eyes have shifted from you to above you.

“i can teach you about how nobles propose, MC.”

you freeze up and feel your face burst into flames. you can’t even turn around and say “great!”

but if you had turned around, just by coincidence, just a few moments earlier, you would’ve seen him there, slack-jawed and eyes wide. a sight completely unbefitting of a noble.

how nice that you’ve made the first move for him.

and you said that you needed someone to read your story, didn’t you? perhaps he can show you how much better the real thing is.

HAUNTED HOUSE !

HALLOWEEN TXT EDITION!

txt x neutral reader !

WARNING !: cursing! knifes! haunted house! JYP AND 6IX9INE!

a very crack and dumb one shot i made.

“MANE IF YALL DONT SHUT THE FUCK UP!” taehyun shouted as they were walking up to the line since everyone began to nag.

"this is why i wanted to go trick or treating instead." beomgyu pouted and folded his arms as he and the rest of the group waited in line to go inside of the haunted house.

well it was more like a haunted barn, where they would all get on a hayride and be driven throughout the barn and be spooked supposedly. "trick or treating?? how old are you again?" kai mocked him,

"no offense but i'm starting to think you were right when you said beomgyu was still mentally 9 years old because.. this is starting to get worrying. what 19 year old is trying go trick or treating?" yeonjun added in agreement, while taehyun shot him a dirty look for throwing shade at his best friend.

beomgyu’s first instinct was to scoot closer to (y/n), but he then fired off a clapback of his own. "the only thing that's worrying is that wig you're wearing, who the fuck are you even supposed to be? lord farquad on crack?" gyu fired back at yeonjun, who was now touching the short black bob on top of his head.

soobin couldn't help but laugh, even though it was his own boyfr- bestfriend getting flamed and soon, everybody else in the group let out laughter at gyu’s clapback. even taehyun, who couldn't stand beomgyu, was practically crying laughing at what was said.

"actually, i'm supposed to be dora," yeonjun replied, gesturing to his pink t shirt and bright orange jeans. "and soobin is.. well diego." he pulled soobin closer to him after saying that and kissed his forehead, before ruffling his blueberry curls a little.

"wait.. ain't dora and diego supposed to be cousins?" taehyun asked, his mouth curling in disgust, "i don't think that's positive..." kai added.

“cousin lovers.” (y/n) said making yeonjun smack their arm.

it was a wonder how they didn't annoy the others waiting in line for their ride, since they would fight every second. meanwhile as the group turn drew closer and closer, beomgyu found himself regretting agreeing to come here.

it was weird.. he loved horror movies, but he despised haunted houses because even though both were fake events, being in a haunted house was just so up close and personal you know?

if it wasn't for it being (y/n)'s birthday (lets just pretend ur birthday was on halloween.) beomgyu wouldn't have came, and he would have probably just stayed at home and took pictures of his costume for instagram before going over to hyunjin’s to watch scary movies.

(y/n) noticed that beomgyu looked uncomfortable amongst all of the roasts and jokes flying amongst the group and they decided to ask what was wrong.

"gyu, why do you look so sad? being sad is my job," (y/n) asked as the group continued to move up in the line. "i'm not sad," beomgyu answered. "i'm just nervous, i don't like haunted houses.. i had a really bad panic attack the last time i went to one, and i don't wanna have one and ruin your birthday or anything.. i probably should have just stayed my ass home."

"nah, you not going to ruin my birthday, you're my friend and i care about you... it won't be that scary, it's literally a haunted barn. you know what barns have? cows and chickens. now who's scared of cows and chickens? nobody. except blades of grass."

the little pep talk made gyu feel slightly calmer. "thanks," he replied, fumbling with the thick leather choker around his neck. "your costume is really cute by the way. i like the face paint."

"thanks, it was kai’s idea actually," they responded with a chipper edge to their voice. (y/n)' costume consisted of a sweatshirt and sweatpants with a skeleton printed on the front, and his face was made up to look like a skull.

after beomgyu was calm, he found himself overhearing a conversation between hueningkai, taehyun, and his knives.

"no tae, you can't bring your knives in here with you," hyuka shook his head as taehyun kept asking if he could run back to the car real quick and grab his knives "cmon kai, just in case a demon wanna try some shit"

"well.. can i get my ouija board?" tyun asked, his lips twisting into a devious smile. "i just wanna talk to the demons, it's halloween, and if it's any day i should be allowed to do this, it's today."

"ain't there no demons.. this is a barn. you wanna talk to demonic horses and shit?" yeonjun pokes in the conversation and raised an eyebrow.

"yes? of course i do, the fuck do you think i am?" taehyun whined, pointing to the devil horns on top of his head as the group finally made it to the front of the line and were waiting for the tractor to come back so that they could get on the hayride.

finally, after they all stood around and handed in their tickets to the clerk in front of the line, their tractor was ready, pulling along the hay covered cart as it came to a stop in front of the barn entrance, waiting for the group to board it.

"wait, hay? y'all ain't say there was going to be hay..." soobin complained, his skin already itching just by looking at all that hay. "y'all do know i'm allergic to hay right?"

"bitchhh, we been said it was a hayride involved," hueningkai snapped, "what you done caught the (y/n) disease where you forget everything every minutes or what?"

"aye i don't forget everything, i just be high," (y/n) cut in as they handed in their tickets to the clerk. "and i'm allergic to hay!" soobin cried out, scratching his forearm.

soobin actually is allergic to hay, but it wasn't something severe, he just got irritated by it and it caused his skin to rash up, not like his skin didn't already look as if it was full of rashes.

(that not true btw)

"oh well," hueningkai replied in a deadpan tone, shrugging. "guess you'll just die then."

after they've all handed in their tickets, everyone began to board the hay filled cart, with everyone obviously choosing to be closest to their besties.

when they got onto the cart. soobin was snuggled up to yeonjun, playing with his diego the explore backpack trying to ignore the itchy feeling the hay gave him.taehyun was resting his head on (y/n)’s shoulder, whining about his knifes, beomgyu was clinging onto kai for dear life, because he was still scared after all.

"i better not hear none of y'all screaming like no pussies after we get in here," yeonjun started after the tractor began to start up and drive them into the dark, cool barn. "how y'all gon be scared of demons when i'm taehyun a whole demon. y'all scared of him now?"

"actually, yes, i'm scared of him just a little bit," beomgyu answered, his tone groggy.

"considering he tried to kill me on multiple occasions and almost succeeded, yes yeonjun, i'm scared of taehyun and he make me fear for my life." soobin added on, slightly flinching at just saying the word taehyun.

"that was before i became positive," taehyun suddenly flashed soobin and beomgyu a toothy smile, "just like i'm positive that none of these demons or zombies or whatever the fuck is in this barn is gon' do shit to us."

"tae if you don't shut your ass up, there’s no demons in here, nor is there any zombies, they are paid actors. you wish you was in a horror movie so bad," hueningkai cut in, once again ruining tyun’s fun.

as of right now, nothing scary was going on. just the typical music playing throughout the barn, random screams, and plastic skeletons appearing out of nowhere. shit that made little kids be scared of, but anyone else wouldn't be phased. not even beomgyu was phased by what was going on, and he was the main one who was scared to come along.

but then.. things started to get more spooky. the people who were sitting on the edge would start to get grabbed and poked without warning, and people would come up on side of the cart out of nowhere and scream or otherwise bring attention to themselves, which would catch them off guard obviously, but shit like that was to be expected at a haunted house.. or in this case a haunted barn.

but soon though, things began to get downright creepy.

as they were sitting in the cart, slightly startled and caught off guard by the jumpscares, but not too shaken up, not even beomgyu was that scared, as he made sure to sit in the middle of the cart to avoid being randomly grabbed or touched by these strangers in costume, and it was just amusing to people like taehyun or (y/n), they weren't prepared for what started to happen next.

soon the music that sounded as if it was from a demonic nursery cut out mid note, and it was replaced by an old, gravely sounding voice that began to sing happy birthday very terribly and off key.

and they thought this was creepy, considering it was gus' birthday, but they considered it was a coincidence. "damn (n/n), they singing happy birthday to you, that's wild," yeonjun noticed, laughing at the 'coincidence'.

"see, i told y'all they’re really a skeleton, how else would they know that we're here for their birthday, hmm?" beomgyu added matter of factly causing the others to let out laughter.

so even though it was somewhat unsettling, it didn't become horrifying until the voice replaced "happy birthday to you," with "happy birthday (y/n)."

the place then became a chorus of "did yall hear that shit?" and "yeo what the fuck?!" after they noticed that, with (y/n) in particular being especially shook that there seemed to be a demon singing specifically to them, and their eyes went wide as the voice continued to serenade them, albeit poorly.

"see, this ain't it no more." soobin announced and hueningkai nodded in agreement. "h-how do they know it's (n/n)' birthday? much less who (y/n) is?" beomgyu asked as he held onto (y/n) even tighter than he was before. "i'm scared now."

"that's what we all want to know," yeonjun answered before reaching up to adjust his wig, before feeling nothing but his real hair tied back. he knew his wig didn't fall off or get snatched off, he had it secured with bobby pins, because it was one of his mother's wigs and he didn't want to lose it, but it had just completely disappeared.

"uh...my wig is gone," yeonjun announced and soobin just nodded. "same."

"no i mean it's for real gone... my dora or lord farquaad or whatever the fuck wig i was wearing earlier just.. disappeared into thin air." yeonjun continued to explain as he continued to search the surrounding area for it, just in case it fell out of his head but it was actually gone.

"see, i told y'all asses there were demons in here, but y'all didn’t wanna listen now y'all getting your shit taken, and demons are singing happy birthday to (y/n) and shit, and now y'all shocked," taehyun added with a huff.

"tyun, ain't no demons in here. if there were demons in here, they would do a lot worse than steal hats and wigs and sing happy birthday, believe that. they'd be torturing us psychologically, and- wait, where the fuck is my sheep hat?" hueningkai touched the top of his head, where his costume top was missing from, and now he was heated.

"yeah, we gotta get outta here."

more shit like that continued to happen with the voice continuing to reference them by name, and reference stuff that only people that know them would know, like soobin almost running someone over once, or yeonjun’s furry suit,and then, near the end of the ride, it all came together in the worst possible way.

a single echoing voice with a thick new york accent screaming "SCUUUUM GANGGGG!" followed by a laugh in the distance that sounded a lot like jyp’s laugh.

and in that moment, all of them literally hopped off of the cart and ran towards the exit.

Chapter 3- When We Were Young- An Obitine Story

“We weren’t expecting two.” Satine stated plainly.

They had made it up to the Duchess’ quarters, Khaami had held the babies while Fesma supported Satine up the stairs, it had been grueling, but necessary. 

Tyra wailed.

“At this hour,” Khaami observed, “only the guards are awake.”

“Still,” Fesma countered, “what if they heard?”

“What are we going to do?” Satine corrected.

“We could,” Khaami paused, “claim your bastard brother had twins.”

“We could-”

“Satine?”

The Duchess looked up from where she was seated on her bed. Fesma, who was holding Tyra, had her eyes on the girls’ outstretched hand. She was flexing it, and the bed curtains were moving with her motions.

“Could,” Khaami gasped, “could she have inherited-”

“No.” the Duchess said sternly.

“Satine-”

Her chest rose with emotion, “She will remind me of him everyday.”

“Satine,” Fesma began firmly, “perhaps it’s best if Tyra is given to the Jedi Temple.”

Maybe it was the hormones, but the Duchess began to sob uncontrollably, the twins shifted, uncomfortable with their mothers’ tears.

“Satine,” Khaami sat next to her lady, holding Korkie in her arms, “your children will always be a part of you, but they are their own people.”

The Duchess sniffled, “It’s too early to let her go.”

“There’s no way we can keep her,” Fesma sighed, “a Mandalorian Jedi, she’s a juxtaposition, an enigma.”

Satine wiped her eyes.

“It makes sense,” she agreed, “but this is my daughter we’re talking about, my child.”

“She will be well cared for at the temple,” Khaami reasoned, “I’ve never heard tales of the Jedi being unkind.”

“That is true,” agreed Fesma, “and she will never have to hide who she is.”

Satine steeled herself, she was the Duchess of Mandalore, and despite all the odds she had decided to bear her children, Obi-Wan’s children, and she was going to make sure they lived good lives. 

“Whatever is best for her.” the Duchess decided.

Fesma handed Satine baby Tyra, “I’m going to contact our less than savory friends about fake birth certificates and DNA tests.”

“Thank you,” Satine nodded before turning to Khaami, “and I suggest you go get some rest, I can watch the twins.”

Korkie gurgled.

“Are you sure, Satine?” Khaami asked.

“Yes,” the Duchess answered, “and once you’re done, Fesma, I suggest you rest as well.”

Fesma cracked a smile, “It has been a long night.”

After her ladies left, Satine draped a sheet in front of the balcony exit and over the entrance to her parlor room. Then climbed into the bed and held the babies to her chest.

“You’re both so special to me,” she whispered, “do you know that.”

The twins breathed in response, Satine was in awe of how the simple action fascinated her.

“I love you, Korkyrach, and you, Tyra Satine,” the Duchess smiled, “you are both so dear to me.”

Satine didn’t get much sleep that night, as the twins woke up every few hours, but in the morning, when Khaami and Fesma returned to her bedroom, the Duchess had a plan.

“I think we should pay someone to sneak her into the Jedi Temple.”

Khaami blinked.

“That’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard.” Fesma stated.

“I agree.”

“But-”

“Satine,” Fesma frowned, “do you know how heavily guarded the Jedi temple is?”

“Yes, but-”

“Satine,” Khaami’s eyes widened, “whoever sneaked in the temple would likely be killed.”

“Maybe,” Fesma began after a short silence, “you could talk to Tyra’s father-”

“Out of the question,” Satine snapped, “I love him for who he is, not what he was, if I told him about the twins he would become someone new and hate himself!”

Khaami jumped backward. 

Satine lowered her eyes, “I can’t have that.”

“Perhaps, then,” Fesma shifted, “Master, what was his name, Qui-”

“Qui-Gon,” Satine tried to clap, but then she remembered the twins, “he will most definitely help me!”

“Are you sure?” Khaami asked, taking Tyra in her arms.

“It is risky.” Fesma added, taking Korkie.

“I know we can trust him,” the Duchess said firmly, “he was like a second father to me.”

Khaami nodded.

“In other news,” Fesma jumped in, “I contacted the forgers last night, but they’re asking a high price, especially for the DNA test.”

“It’s no wonder,” Satine sighed, “we need it to fool everyone.”

“How will we pay them?” Khaami worried aloud.

“Did they specify what they wanted?” the Duchess questioned.

Fesma shook her head, “Unfortunately, no, although I don’t think we have enough jewels to pay them this time.”

“Is there anything in the palace we can use without drawing attention?” Khaami asked.

“Maybe old relics,” Satine suggested, “candelabras and curtains that historians would die for.”

“That's a start,” Fesma stated, “perhaps some straight cash might help ease the bargain.”

“I’ll take it out of my salary.” the Duchess decided.

Korkie began to cry, then, so did Tyra.

“They must be hungry.” Fesma observed.

Satine held out her arms, “I’ll try feeding them.”

Khaami and Fesma shared a look.

“Are you sure, Satine?” 

“I’ll start,” the Duchess assured, “and Fesma can bring up extra milk for my tea.”

Wordlessly, Fesma handed Satine her son and left. It was a struggle, Satine had no idea how to feed a baby. Khaami was trying to be helpful, but really, Satine was losing her patience.

“We have a problem.” Fesma announced, setting down a tray of milk and tea bags, “many guards heard a baby crying last night.”

Satine took a spoon and quietly began feeding Korkie, her mind whirling.

“We’ll have to speed things up, then.” she said finally.

“I agree.” 

“Fesma, look for nice vases, candelabras, and maybe even old Mandalorian stays,” Satine instructed, “take notes of where and how prominently featured they are.”

“Of course.”

While Khaami burped Korkie and began laying out clothes for her lady, Satine picked up an old comm device and called Master Qui-Gon Jinn, while caring for Tyra.

“Satine?”

“I’m sorry to disturb your meditation, Qui-Gon-”

Over the comm Satine heard the Jedi Master stand, “Is there an emergency?”

“Not an imminent one.”

“Do explain.” Qui-Gon goaded.

“I’ve given birth to twins.”

Besides a sharp intake of breath, there was nothing but silence.

“Tyra Satine, my second born, is force sensitive.”

Master Qui-Gon sighed.

“Can you bring her to the temple?”

“Satine,” the Jedi Master began, “why not just-”

“My consort can’t have anything to do with the Jedi,” Satine interrupted, “and I can’t raise them as my own, Mandalore is too unstable.”

“Your political enemies would also be overjoyed.” Qui-Gon stated.

“Yes,” Satinie’s voice quivered as Tyra burped, “and I need my children to be safe.”

“I ask the council for a few hours of quiet retreat,” the Jedi Master told her, “I’ll be there at two o’clock today.”

Satine sighed, “Thank you, Master Qui-Gon.”

“Should I tell Obi-Wan?”

The Duchess’ breath caught, on her shoulder, Tyra sighed.

“No,” Satine said cooly, “I fell in love with Obi-Wan for what he is, a Jedi, telling him would cause a recalculation of his morals and values.”

Qui-Gon was silent for some time before speaking, “Alright, Satine.”

Satine dressed herself that morning while Khaami watched the babies. Fesma returned soon after Satine had finished brushing her hair.

“The council is expecting you,” she announced, lowering her voice, “and I have the list.”

“Thank you,” Satine smiled, “at Master Qui-Gon is coming today at two.”

Fesma nodded, “Good, I’ll start preparing our bounty.”

The Duchess turned to Khaami, “Watch the twins, will you?”

The lady lit up, “Of course, Satine.”

In the council chamber, the meeting went on as scheduled. The Duchess did her best to pay attention, but at the end of two hours, she was done.

“That will be all, Your Grace.”

Satine straightened, “Thank you, Prime Minister.”

Pushing her chair back, Satine wandered down to the kitchens remembering she hadn’t eaten breakfast yet today. Unfortunately, the Duchess rounded a corner and walked straight into a gaggle of maids.

“Oh,” one gasped, “forgive us, Your Grace.”

“It’s no worries,” Satine said, rubbing her head, “I wasn’t watching where I was going.”

“Oh no, Your Grace,” a second maid assured, “it was us who wasn’t paying attention.”

The third maid frowned, “Are you well, Your Grace?”

“Why, yes,” Satine nodded, “though a little tired I suppose.”

The first maid gave the third one a harsh look.

“Please excuse us, Your Grace.” the second maid curtsied.

That first encounter didn’t leave her suspicious, but after Satine caught two waiters gossiping about what the guards had heard, and the cooks discussing the Duchess’ eating habits and weight, Satine realized she was the victim of rumors.

Upstairs in her bedroom, the Duchess was shocked to find Fesma and Khaami pulling down her curtains.

“Where-” 

“They’re on the bed.” Fesma answered.

Satine ran to the twins, they were wearing cloth diapers and rolling around on the mattress. She could tell which one was which because Tyra, who had been born with some hair, had a blonde cowlick sticking up towards the ceiling.

“Hello, darlings,” Satine kissed her children’s heads, “now, will you tell me what mother’s ladies are doing?”

“These curtains are made from horse hair.” Fesma replied.

The Duchess gaped.

“I know,” Khaami agreed, seeing Satine’s look, “the species that went extinct three hundred years ago.”

Peaking through the side door, Satine noticed that on her parlor floor sat a whole pile of treasures. Marbled silk scarves, gold-plated vases, candelabras from the dark era, and soon, curtains made from horse hair.

“Yes!” Khaami cried.

Returning her attention to the maids, Satine grinned as the curtains fell on top of her ladies.

“Khaami, I told you to catch it.”

“Well how can I catch it if I can’t see anything!”

The babies giggled. Satine helped Fesma out of the wreckage.

“How are we going to get all this stuff to the forgers?” Khaami asked, throwing the curtains to the side.

“I’ve contacted them about that,” Fesma answered, “they will send agents in as maids to help collect the stuff.”

“Even the vases?” questioned Satine.

“Even those.”

Khaami crossed her arms, “When are they coming?” 

“They will all be here by breakfast tomorrow morning,” Fesma sighed, “they gave us a code phrase and everything.”

“Staggered entry,” the Duchess mused, “these forgers are quite clever.”

Khaami frowned, “They’re criminals, Satine.” 

“Still, they’re helping me save my children.” the Duchess countered.

There came a knock on the door, and everyone froze.

“The crow flies at midnight.”

Satine raised her eyebrows at Fesma.

“Come in.”

The little “maid” who came in was short with raven hair, her eyes lingered on the Duchess, then fell to the twins on the bed.

“Through here,” Satine motioned, “please follow me.”

The imposter maid’s eyes widened at the loot. Then she took out two pieces of paper.

“The DNA tests you requested, Your Grace.”

Satine looked at the tests, then smiled, “Thank you.”

“I’ll start with the scarves,” the imposter maid smiled, showing teeth, “they have to be cleaned after all.”

An hour later, while Satine was preparing Tyra for her journey, another knock pounded on the door.

“The crow flies at midnight.” two male voices harmonized.

“Come in.”

The men who came in were dressed as painters.

“You asked us to restore your vases, Your Grace.” one of them bowed.

“Yes,” Satine pointed, “through there.”

While the criminal painter who spoke to her went to the other room, his accomplice pulled out two pieces of paper.

“The birth certificates you requested, Your Grace.”

Looking at the certificates, Satine tried not to marvel at their authenticity, “Thank you.”

Once the men left, carrying two heavy vases, Khaami returned from changing the twins’ diapers.

“They're gone?” she asked.

“Yes,” Fesma smiled, arranging the papers, “and now I suggest you bring us some lunch.”

Khaami smiled at the babies, “I’ll be back.”

Satine took the twins from her and climbed onto the bed.

“My beautiful little prince and princess.” she cooed.

Tyra, as if knowing her fate, began to sniffle.

“Oh,” Satine frowned, “it’s alright my love, you’re going to be safe with your Uncle Qui-Gon.”

Tyra moaned.

“I would like to give her something,” the Duchess said, looking up, “do you think it would be too dangerous?”

“It might be,” Fesma frowned, “but maybe a necklace, though it can’t be too obviously from the Kryze Clan.”

Satine ran through a mental list of the family jewelry.

“My mother was fond of a warrior’s eye pendant,” the Duchess smiled at the memory, “perhaps I’ll give my daughter that.”

“It would be poetic.” agreed Fesma.

When Khaami returned, Satine sent Fesma to go get her mother’s necklace. She could’ve easily done it herself, but the Duchess wanted to spend as much time with her daughter as she could.

“The crow flies at midnight.”

Satine stood, handing Tyra to Khaami.

“Come in.”

Two older women dressed as seamstresses entered the room. Satine handed them each a curtain.

“Here are the hospital records, Your Grace.” said the first one.

“Thank you.”

The second maid held out her hand, “These are the connected bills, they’re completed.”

“Thank you.” Satine repeated.

The imposter seamstresses left.

“You’re amazing.” Khaami whispered.

“Really?”

“Giving birth to twins in secret,” Khaami stated, “giving them good lives, making sure they’re safe.”

Satine smiled sadly, “It’s what any good mother would do.”

“And you’re a great one.” Khaami agreed.

The Duchess felt unsure at that remark and took Tyra in her arms, preparing to burp her.

“We’ll have to get a nursery set up for Korkie.” observed Khaami.

“True,” Satine smiled wearily, “at least he gets to be near me, even if I can’t acknowledge him as my son.”

“But,” Fesma interjected, closing the door behind her, “when Queen Mara only had an illegitimate son, the court named him her heir.”

“That was a different time,” Satine frowned, “everyone was desperate for a male heir, and Mara refused to marry.”

“But that’s good,” Khaami smiled, “it could mean that your children could be considered legitimate.”

“It is a precedent.” Fesma agreed.

Satine sighed, staring at Tyra in her arms, “Unfortunately Mandalore is still too unstable.”

Once the babies were burped, Satine and her ladies ate lunch. Finally, a fourth imposter, a server, holding brass polish, came and took the candelabras.

He handed Satine a credit receipt, “The transaction is complete.”

“Thank you.”

When he left, Satine realized she had to hide this somewhere secret. Her ladies seemed to reach the same conclusion, as they both averted their eyes. For now, Satine left it in her sock drawer.

“Let’s get the papers ready,” Satine turned to Fesma, who was holding Tyra, “and make sure she’s warm, Master Qui-Gon will be here soon.”

On the night the twins were born, Fesma went out and bought a bag of diapers and two onesies, one purple and one blue. Tyra was dressed in the purple one with her grandmother’s necklace around her throat. Korkie was put in blue.

“Here are the papers,” Fesma said, holding out a paper clipped pile, “the Jedi will need these.”

Satine nodded, Khaami’s comm beeped.

“My lady, a Jedi named Qui-Gon Jinn claimed the Duchess is expecting him, is that true?”

“Yes,” Khaami answered, “Her Grace is most looking forward to his arrival.”

For the last time, Satine held both her daughter and son in her arms, kissing both of them sweetly.

“Say goodbye to your sister, Korkie.”

Korkie cooed.

“Tell your brother you love him, Tyra.”

Tyra giggled.

Satine handed Korkie to Fesma, “Stay here with my son, Khaami will accompany me to the landing pad.”

“Of course, Your Grace.” the lady responded, sensing the solemnity of the moment.

Walking down to the landing pad was the hardest thing Satine ever had to do. She clutched Tyra’s forged papers to her chest and made sure Khaami’s cloak covered the baby, then, she stepped out the door.

Master Qui-Gon disembarked just as Satine stepped out onto the landing pad, and in a burst of emotion, she ran to him in tears.

“Hush now, Satine,” the Jedi Master stroked the Duchess’ head, “it’s all going to be okay.”

“My son, Korkie, is upstairs,” Satine pulled away, wiping her eyes, “but Tyra is here for you.”

Khaami walked forward.

Qui-Gon cleared his throat, speaking loudly, “I’m afraid I only have a short while, Duchess, perhaps a walk around the gardens?”

“Of course,” Satine gestured for Khaami to follow, “let us go.”

It took a few sharp turns to lose the guards, but when they did, Satine handed her friend the forged papers. 

“Everything you should need is here,” she whispered, “I’ve given Tyra a necklace, make sure she keeps it.”

“Of course.” the Jedi Master said earnestly.

Khaami came forward and held out her arms.

“This is the Princess Tyra Satine.” she stated.

Qui-Gon smiled warmly and with a gentle touch, took the baby in his arms.

“Hello, Tyra Satine.”

The Duchess steeled herself not to cry as Master Qui-Gon’s ship took off, but when she made it back to her room, Satine burst into tears.

“Oh, Fesma, Khaami, what have I done!”

“What is right,” Fesma said, leaning in front of her with Korkie in her arms, “this is what is best for your daughter.”

“She knows you love her,” Khaami assured, “she will always know.”

Satine swallowed, she would get through this.

“What are we going to do about Korkie? Fesma asked.

The baby gurgled.

Satine straightened, “Try to act surprised when I announce my nephew this evening.”

Clinking her glass, Satine stood, foreboding herself from shaking.

“There is an important family matter that must be shared with this court.”

The room went silent.

Satine tried to act emotional, which wasn’t hard, “I had a brother, he died in the war.”

Whispers sprung up around the table, spreading like wildfire on dry grass.

“My brother had a son, his name is Korkyrach,” Satine tightened her fingers around her glass, “and I have decided to raise him.”

More whispers.

“Your Grace-”

“Thank you for your input, Prime Minister,” Satine sat down, “but I have made up my mind.”

Within the week, the entire Mandalore system knew about Korkie, and Satine was free to love her son in peace. A nursery was set up across the hall from her room and a nanny was hired. What Satine wasn’t expecting, however, was the return of her sister Bo-Katan.

Naturally, her sister had to be dramatic, and had the announcer shout her arrival from the steps before the door opened. Her council gasped, but Satine wasn't surprised to see her sister in Mandalorian armor, it was practically all she wore.

“Bo-”

“I have come to meet my nephew.” Bo-Katan said grandly.

Satine looked to her council, “We will resume in an hour, dismissed.”

Bo-Katan was silent on the way up to the nursery, but Satine couldn’t stop talking. She hadn’t seen her sister since the day their parents were killed and she was whisked away by the former prime minister into Jedi care.

“I’m good, Satine.” Bo-Katan said finally.

The Duchess nodded and led her sister into the nursery.

Bo-Katan smiled when she saw him, “Korkyrach, huh?”

“Yep.”

“I didn’t know Dad, I mean-”

“Yeah.” 

Her father had been an honorable man, and she hated disgracing his legacy this way. Despite their disagreements on the future of Mandalore, she had loved him, and she’d wept when he died.

“He’s got red hair,” Bo-Katan observed, “like me.”

“Mm hm.”

“Satine,” Bo-Katan turned to her sister suddenly, “where did he really come from?”

The Duchess gaped and looked around the room, the nanny was politely waiting outside.

“Bo,” Satine managed to get out, “I don’t know what you mean.”

Her sister’s eyes narrowed and her voice lowered.

“Satine, I know you published the hospital records-”

“And his birth certificate and DNA test.” interjected the Duchess.

Bo-Katan leveled Satine a glare, “But the hospital staff has no recollection or record of the woman who was Korkie’s mother.”

“That's strange,” Satine agreed, “although many records were burned during the war.”

“God fucking dammit, Satine,” Bo-Katan blurted, “our father would never do that!”

“Bo-”

“Is he yours?” Bo-Katan asked pointedly.

“What-”

“Is he yours?”

Satine blinked, she steeled her nerves.

“Bo, I’m not married.”

Bo-Katan crossed her arms, “That didn’t answer my question.”

“Look, who I get with is my own business,” Satine swallowed, thinking of Obi-Wan, “but I could never be so careless to, to-”

“Alright,” Bo-Katan held up her hands, “I guess I just don’t want to believe it.”

Morning Preperations

This fic contains an intense amount of swearing, and is about random, fandomless ocs. Enjoy.

"Aye yo, up and Adam your royal pain!" A young guard entered the bed chamber of the prince, unannounced. He yawned and stretched as he shut one of the chamber's door's behind him with his foot.

"Brutus," a higher voice shrieked. Green eyes opened to see the prince glaring at him as he wrapped one of his large curtains around to sheild himself. "I'm in my underwear you pervert," the prince hissed. "Get the hell out!" He reached for his vanity near by and grabbed a hold of a brush.

Brutus merely rolled his eyes. "Come on Daren, your not nude. Samuel forced me to start my shift early so let's go princess! Move that scrawny ass and get ready." The personal guard sat on the unmade bed; running his fingers along the soft, purple, silky sheets. Daren growled before throwing the brush at the other.

"Ow," the larger gasped before glaring at the prince who still refused to leave the curtain. "Once you stand your post outside I will. I have a sutor coming for breakfast. Father and Samuel will have my head if I'm late." Brutus rolled his eyes. "Sorry sweetheart," he seethed sarcastically as he grabbed the brush that assaulted his head.

Daren panicked slightly as the other approached him. He was no physical match for the other. Both were lanky young men but Brutus had a few inches and a swimmers build of muscle on him. "But Samuel gave me my orders." Daren gasped as the curtain was yanked away from him, revealing his image to the other.

Black briefs clung to his curvy lower body as a white, silky, loose undershirt rested on the slight pudge of his tummy. Silk stockings were tied off at the thighs, making for an almost lovely picture of the prince. Brutus looked him over before feeling a small shove. Hardly budging he just looked at the man before him. "Stop staring at me like that! Brutus, I swea-eek!" Brutus gently pulled Daren close, brush raised over his head.

"Sit your pretty ass down and finish getting ready already. I can't leave this chamber without your royal pain in tow, get it?" Daren blushed slightly before trying to push the other off him, to no avil. Despite supposed to be having authority over his father's guard, as he was the prince, but Samuel definitely had authority over him and sometimes even his father out of respect for the old bastard. Nothing he could say to Brutus would get the boy out of his hair.

"Fine you annoying oaf! Let go so I can get dressed!" Brutus rolled his eyes before letting go and setting the brush back on the vanity. As he did, Daren strode by him quickly to his closet and just grabbed the nearest shirt before moving to grab matching pants.

Pulling on the pants quickly, he refused to face the other. His face was still red from embarrassment but the butterflies were simmering down. He may have over reacted some. He dared to glance over to see the other now lying in his unmade bed, feeling the soft materials. He always seemed to rub certain cloths between his fingers, maybe it was a calming technique. Nevertheless, Daren's dark, silky hair always ended up between his fingers too.

"How's your head," the prince finally asked, breaking the silence as he pulled up his black pants. "Little sore. How's your ego," the other sneered. "Also sore," Daren shot back woth fake annoyance. "That so? Need me to kiss it and make it better," Brutus inquired sarcastically. Daren sighed as he pulled on a loose sleeved, white shirt. "No, but I'm sorry for hitting you. Do you need to rest?"

The prince was now standing over the other, holding onto the pole of his bed frame closest to the other loosely. Brutus blushed a bit before shaking his head. "I'm trained to protect the royal brat, a lot more than a pansy throw from his highness is needed to take me down." Daren glared slightly as Brutus smirked at him with a wink. "That so?"

Brutus was laying with his legs crossed, and arms folded under his head. Wearing nothing more than casual clothing, he earned what he had coming. "Yeah, that's so." "Then you wouldn't mind your weak, defenseless, pain of a prince punishing you for wearing your boots in his bed?" Brutus was confussed as the other leaned down to his level, walking his fingers across his toned chest. "What do you mean?"

"Look down darling, your wearing your nasty work boots on my nice sheets. Agatha is going to have to wash them again." Brutus tried to sit up but the prince held his folded arms down and swing himself onto the other's pelvis. His long, black hair hung loosely, like vines coming towards the guards face. "Tsk, tsk," Daren cooed as he gently started to drag his fingers down the bared biceps. "Pff-! D-Daren!" Brutus turned his head into his arm as he tried to stop himself from giggling. Above him, the prince merely smirked.

"Oh Brutus~! Don't tell me a few tickles can bring my brave knight down. My, my, I'd surely be in danger then," Daren fake lamented as he smirked. "Yo-your gon-nna be- cckkkk! Gonna be when- when I get you!" Rolling his eyes, Daren merely giggled. "Oh, how scary. A soft faced, small man with big, loving, green eyes and such soft, feathery chocolate hair is going to rebel against his charge?"

Brutus blushed as Daren gently ruffled his hair with a giggle. It tickled a bit, but the laugh was more for his friend's reaction. "Tell me Brutus, are your underarms ticklish? The royal court needs to know all your weaknesses. We can't have the prince falling into danger, now can we?" Brutus bit his lip as fingers gently moved further down his biceps, under the short sleeves of his shirt. "B-Bhahahitch!" He cracked! Score one for the Lee!

"Bruuutuusss," Daren teased out, giving the poor boy no peace. "Brutus, does this tickle? Does it ticcckllee~!" The guard felt himself slipping as more fingers joined. "I-hahahah! I'll gheheet you fhahaor this!" Daren only smiled softly. "Aw, promising harm to your beloved prince?" "I dhahaon't hahaha a beloved phaharince! Jhahahaust yhahaou!" Daren scoffed before ramping up the torment. "Ass hole." "Fheheheling is mu- ah shit! Ghahaha!" Brutus was breaking down now, showing his ticklish side.

Daren giggled. He quickly started to pick up the pace, squeezing, scratching, and poking random areas he could easily get to while moving to keep Brutus' arms down whenever he saw them move. Brutus should be proud! After all, he's where Daren learned such moves.

Brutus however, wasn't impressed as he wheezed with heavy laughter and shook about. He whined and snorted while he trashed his legs; catching glimpses of the boots he was being "punished" for. He was dying of laughter, trashing about as his prince continued to torment him. He had to figure a way out of this. No way was this little shit going to tickle him then walk off to meet a potential fiancee like nothing ever happened!

Wait.... that's it!

"Yhahahaou nehehed to gehehehet ghahahoing soon!" Daren eased up the tickles, not understanding what the other said. "What," he asked before gasping as hands over powered him and rolled him over. Brutus was now laying on the other, holding the prince's arms down by their wrists and glaring daggers as he panted.

Daren wiggled, testing his movement as he started to blush. Butterflies started to form in his stomach once more and his knees moved slightly together. "W... what did you say," Daren asked sheepishly. Brutus' scowling face became a smirk. "That I ain't letting you leave until I get some revenge." Daren squeaked, face turning darker. "You.... you'll wrinkle my shirt. You can't. I'll tell Samuel it was you," Daren weakly threatened.

"Then, I'll just have to fix that, huh?" What? Daren gasped as he felt cold hand slip into the hem of his pants to unstuck his shirt; the cold feeling spreading as skin made contact with the skin of his stomach. "Brutus! You brute! Unhand me!" Gently, fake hitting the other with his free hand, Daren tried to sound as annoyed as possible but the other ignore it.

Rather, he saw through the facade. Daren was compliant on the shirt removal but quickly squealed as he noticed his undershirt had gone too. Milky, smooth skin was revealed to the earth; a rare sight from the prince. Almost as pale as a vampire, yet skin as soft as a baby. The elements truly never touched the royal pain.

Brutus merely smirked. He knew the other was deathly ticklish. Just a few strokes to his soles, a squeeze or two to his thighs, or a few pokes at his underarms would have him spilling any information asked for if the prince was ever captured. Moving the shy arms away from the torso and pinning them overhead with ease, Brutus smiled softly. "I just laughed like a dork infront of you and your embarrassed about me seeing your body? At least you don't sound like a damn horse when you laugh." Daren blushed more as he wiggled awkwardly. "You don't though. You sound.... kinda cute when you laugh. A little dorky too. It's nice to hear when it's not directed at... making fun of me."

Brutus felt his face heat up a bit before he quickly shook his head. "Ah, nope. No sweet talking your way out of this your highness. Your being sentenced to tickle punishment and that's that." Daren growled a bit. "Bastard, I wasn't trying to get out of anything! Don't just brush me aside like that!" He paused when he realized Brutus was blushing and cracked a smile. "Oh, your faking it," he said softly. Brutus only blushed more before gently poking under the royal's arm; earning a squeal.

"Nope, I will not be tricked by such a fair prince." Daren giggled before squealing as the poked turned to gentle scratches. "Not there," he cried as he devolved into hysterical laughter. "Not the armpit! Not the armpit! Ahahaha! Brutus!" Daren was shrieking soon as fingers moved behind him to his thighs. He was weakened enough for Brutus to let go of his arms. "Not the armpits? Okay."

The prince screamed in hysterically laughter, flopping around like a fish out of water. "A-Ahhahaha! Noooo! Brutus! Release me at once! B-Brutus!" It tickled something awful. The prince was red from laughter and flustered from being teased and touched so delicately. From the fact this oaf was his best friend and was just hitting all his worst spots to make him laugh. It was sweet.

The prince gripped at the silk pillow covers as he whined and laughed adorably, wiggling in the other's hold and trying to bite his lip to resist the sensation. Not wanting his friend to be set before the kings of two kingdoms and a possible match with a swollen lip along with being covered in tears and sweat, Brutus ended his torment.

Daren released his lip and the pillow cover as he panted softly. "Oh.... oh man," Daren sighed out rather un-regally. "B-Brutus..... that..... ahh," he sighed out softly. The other laughed before vibrating his hand on the other's tummy. Daren squealed before curling up to protect himself. "Brutus, stop it," he giggled. The other did so before laughing himself.

Cute.

He sighed before redressing the tired body's torso. As he tucked the blouse into the pants, he felt a gentle touch on his hand. Watery red eyes stared at the other woth a soft smile. The other returned the favor before gently climbing off his highness. Helping Daren sit up, he took the brush and quickly started to brush out the tangles the onslaught caused and tied it loosely before looking at the door.

"You need to get going," Brutus sighed. Daren sighed. "He's been trying to find a suitable match for me for three years now, I doubt this breakfast will be any different." He gently tapped the other's cheek. "Escort me down, would you?" Brutus smiled a bit before gently intertwining fingers with the prince. "As you wish." Daren merely rolled his eyes before they headed out the door.

THE KING: ETERNAL MONARCH REVIEW

EDIT: I AM SO SORRY, THIS IS A SECONDARY BLOG AND I JUST LEARNED THAT I CAN'T REPLY TO COMMENTS. PLEASE CHECK MY PINNED BLOG WHERE I WROTE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU!

Spoilers ahead!!! Read at your own risk. Once again, I am not an expert and these are my personal opinions. If you have disagreements, let's talk it over. Don't judge me, let's judge the show together instead and have an understanding.

For the first drama that I am going to review, I chose The King: Eternal Monarch. A lot of viewers who supported the show with all of their hearts could still not get over its ending. Others who like to binge-watch are relieved because they can finally watch the entire series without waiting for a new episode to air. While some are still mulling over about watching it. Well, I hope I could help you with this review.

• Introduction to the Drama

Short gist:

The story revolves around Lee Gon, present King of Kingdom of Corea. He witnessed his father’s death when he was young, an incident that haunted him until he grew older. Due to unfortunate circumstances, a legendary flute with powers called Manpasikjeok that can open different worlds was cut in half. He was able to get hold half of the flute, while the other half was obtained by Lee Lim, his uncle who killed his father. Lee Lim had been going back and forth two different worlds, plotting foul pursuits to fulfill his evil desires, and disrupting the peace between the two worlds. In order to restore balance and order, Lee Gon also traveled between worlds, meeting Jeong Tae Eul who soon became a significant person in his life.

If you've been watching Korean Dramas for quite a while now, you must be familiar with some of the characters of The King: Eternal Monarch, especially the lead.

If you call yourself a k-drama fan and you don't know who Lee Minho is, give yourself a slap (just kidding, please don't take that seriously). Lee Minho has a good reputation because of his experience, acting skills and obviously, his gorgeous face. He has an impressive list of successful dramas and movies! Most of us probably knew him through his breakthrough role in Boys Over Flowers.

Meanwhile, Kim Go Eun, despite being fairly new to small screen (she first started appearing in movies), is also highly distinguished by a lot of k-drama fans. In all three dramas she starred in, including The King, she always got the lead role. His leading men are no joke either. And because of Kim Go Eun, many of us still wants to be the goblin's bride.

Among the cast also includes the familiar faces of Woo Do Hwan, Kim Kyung Nam, Jung Eun Chae, and Lee Jung Jin.

Anyway, I'll try to share every thought I have from the first time I watched it until it ended. I will also try not to give so much spoilers because the drama just ended. I will talk first about my experience watching it and then I will list at the very bottom some of the issues I have and that list contains major spoilers so watch out for that. As you notice, I always warn you with spoilers using red font color.

• The Experience

When I watched the first teaser of the drama, I got intrigued and a little confused. What worlds are they talking about? Do they have super powers? Is this a historical drama? Questions were instantly formed in my head.

It also reminded me of the drama Queen In Hyun's Man because of a similar scene where the leading man is riding his horse in the middle of the city and finding his woman. But that's just it, the two dramas are completely different. I just mentioned it because others may have felt the same way.

I don't usually watch dramas while it's still fresh. I wait for about two to three weeks before the schedule of the ending so I can binge watch without waiting so much. When I watched The King, there were already 12 episodes available on Netflix. Usually, I would finish 12 episodes in 1-3 days, and if the drama is really good and it's MY STYLE (i said that in an obviously fake Korean accent), I could watch it for an entire day.

However, I finished those 12 episodes in 2 weeks...

Why??? Why did it take me that long???

I wouldn't say I was bored, it's just that during the first few episodes, nothing caught my interest yet. I wasn't convinced that it was a good drama. There was nothing special and I didn't know what to look forward to that's why I couldn't watch it continuously. I got lazy. The pace was slow and the story build up was a little stagnant. It was too slow that I even started watching a long length saeguk just so I can watch something else.

I could have skipped some parts and dropped it but I continued watching and gave it a chance. Though it was a good thing that I didn't stop because as I watched more episodes, the story actually became more exciting. Finally, I saw some progress. I started to get invested in the drama after the eighth episode. That's when the story felt more alive. Finally, there were revelations, more conflicts arose, more emotions were shown, and the story got deeper. I began to appreciate the drama. However, I still don't like the fact that it took me 8 episodes before I started to like it.

• Points that I Liked About the Drama

1. The plot seemed like it's going to be too science fiction-y but it's just the right amount. I was worried that it might be too much for me to handle but it was just okay (i am a potato who dislikes thinking so much, but that depends on my mood lololol). I liked how there's a mix of history in the drama, as well as of politics but it still feels modern. There is a balance.

2. The distinction between the Kingdom of Corea and Republic of Korea is impressive. It's obvious that they put a lot of effort in building their vision of KOC to life.

3. Many people were saying that it's hella confusing and so much was going on. I don't think so. They actually made it easy for viewers to understand about parallel worlds. You don't have to study science facts just to get this drama's concept. I think the slow pace did its job well in this part.

4. The story is unpredictable. You never know what's going to happen next, that's the strength of The King's concept. Because of the two different worlds and the crazy number of characters, there could be a lot of possibilities and backstories.

5. The action scenes are commmendable. I liked the action scenes, the one during the last episode is probably my favorite.

• Points that I Didn't Like About the Drama

1. The slow pace. I don't think I still need to explain more but it totally ruined my whole experience of watching the drama.

2. Many characters didn't leave much impact. Their acting was great, however, I don't see a lot of personalities that standout. The most remarkable ones for me are the characters played by Woo Do Hwan. The other characters, especially the lead, the prime minister and the traitor were okay, too. The others were just bland and years from now, I probably won't remember most of them.

• The Ending (spoiler alert!)

The ending was good. It didn't feel rushed and everyone had a separate ending of their own. I just wished there was more Nari and Eunsup / Yeong and Seung A moment in the end, the conclusion was fine though. I don't like that Prime Minister Koo ended up in jail but Luna became a cop...

I just have one issue regarding the ending that they decided on. In the end they didn't show if Tae Eul became a queen. Well, it would be weird if she became one considering there is Luna in KOC. They can't be together in ROK, too because Gon's counterpart was able to live. So... what? They just kept traveling whenever they have time? Because if that's the case, doesn't that mean they will hide their relationship forever??? I liked that they ended up together but I wish they also kept this in mind. Because it kinda makes me sad. Lol.

• Final Thoughts

Overall, it was alright. It was over-hyped by netizens due to the amazing casting and promotions, but it's not bad at all.

Would I watch it again? No.

Would I recommend it? Yes. Give it a try! I honestly thought I wouldn't like it but I still did, even if it took me 8 episodes, I wouldn't say it wasn't worth it. If you enjoy fantasy dramas with complicated twists and conflicts, this drama is for you. Just have patience and prepare yourself mentally when you've reached the middle. This drama is gloomy and a little heavy, too. It was serious and has a very few humorous scenes.

I am giving The King: Eternal Monarch a 7/10. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

• The King: Eternal Monarch OST Top 5

There are 13 songs in total and everything is so good! I wish I got to hear more of the songs in the drama, some were just played briefly. I swear every song makes me feel things. Choosing just 5 songs is really hard. If you don't watch dramas but love music, give these a listen!!!

My Day Is Full Of You by Zico, Wendy

Orbit by Hwasa

I Fall In Love by Ha Sungwoon

I Just Want To Stay With You by Zion.T

Please Don't Cry by Davichi

Now I'll move on to some of my "issues". This section isn't really what you think. The word "issues" is just intriguing ㅋㅋㅋ but this is just a compilation of my opinions, observations, feelings and other stuff no one might care about in the series. If you have answers for my questions or if you can explain it for me, please enlighten me. Major spoiler ahead!!!

• Issues

1. During the time when Lee Gon was time traveling and finally got back to Repuplic of Korea, it probably took him a lot of time, right? He even took his time to take care of Tae Eul in the hospital. I wish they also showed what was happening in Kingdom of Corea during that time because he's a king and his absence might have caused a ruckus in his kingdom. I can even picture the palace lady Noh getting really worried as Lee Gon travels. The moment he came back, they only gave him updates as if everything was okay.

But since they didn't show it, I guess it is safe to assume that nothing much happened in his kingdom back then. 🤷‍♀️

2. When Gon and Tae Eul met again in Gwanghwamun, why did Tae Eul hug him? In my understanding, at that period of time, Tae Eul only met him twice—once when she was 5 and once when she was 27. So why did she hug him suddenly as if she knows he's going to be a significant person in her life? Their dialogue when they met again when she was 27 wasn't even enough for her to act that way.

3. I hope they also gave Nari more lines and importance. Maybe it's just me, but at first, I thought she and her KOC counterpart would have more significant roles. When I think of it, even without her, the story could still go on. Though this is just a minor issue. ✌

4. Prime Minister Koo. She was a villain, but I didn't really hate her until the last 4-5 episodes (can't recall the exact episode, sorry), though I wouldn't say I hated her so much. I actually liked her at first! She's ambitious, fierce, independent and intelligent. She just got blinded by greed.

My issue here is, am I really supposed to feel like that? In my opinion, her character has the potential to become more heinous and despiteful. I was wondering why they didn't turn her into someone like that? She was just greedy, bitchy, a little sly and annoying.

5. Lee Gon's and Tae Eul's love for each other was a little shallow. Sure, the man who saved Lee Gon when he was a child, had Tae Eul's ID. But how sure was Lee Gon that the woman who owns the I.D. is not a villain? The woman in the ID could lead him to the man who saved him, yes, but it still bugs me how easily they fell in love especially on Lee Gon's part. Maybe I'm just thinking too much. I am sorry. 😅

In spite of that, I still liked their love progression. I didn't ship them that hard but their chemistry wasn't cringey and forced.

6. The scene where Lee Gon gave Tae Eul flowers and then left, was a little confusing. It didn't break my heart, too. I just felt a little sad while watching that scene because Kim Go Eun's acting was good.

7. Who the f is thay yoyo boy??? My guts tell me he's a part of the flute or something because he knows a lot. But I wish it was explained more. It looked weird how he just suddenly appears sometimes and suddenly talks some sense. He remains a mystery.

8. Why the f is Jeong Tae Eul a flat earther??? Well, at least she had a character development in the end. It just annoyed me lmao

9. I don't get why people keep comparing The King: Eternal Monarch to Goblin. Why??? They don't even have the same plot or concept.

10. Court lady Noh was from Republic of Korea... What? Was that necessary?

Don't mind me. Don't mind me. Don't mind me.

Anyway I hate how tumblr wasn't able to save my draft when I was writing additional content. I lost half of it and it makes me furious!!! I had to redo the draft but I can no longer remember some of the things I wrote. I am sad because I lost something that can't be brought back again. This experience earned me a lesson.

That's it for my first review. What are your thoughts? I am a horrible reviewer, I know, but I will do better in the future. Thank you for reading!!!

The King: Eternal Monarch - Episode 5

So... a million years later, I am picking up again with this drama.  It was about time. I didn’t even remember the opening ost was that nice.  Let me listen some more, no thank you Netflix, I am not going to skip that. Am I the only one who thinks that the intro is also part of the drama? Like, why skip it? Unless it’s pretty bad. It puts you in the mood for it. I don’t know. Don’t you think it’s good? Anyways. Last episode, Lee Gon just took Tae Eul to his universe. How will his people see this parallel universe girl? I am pretty curious about my lovely Lady Noh.

The episode starts with our sweet baby Shin Jae going to the bubble tea place. BOUM! Product placement again. Will you stop it please producers? I really want my Asamu milk tea right now. But it’s so far away mow... Please have mercy for your poor viewers in western countries, where people have not understood yet how great bubble tea is and how there should be a bubble tea place at every street corner. Maybe I should just open a bubble tea store. Since I have gone jobless? What do you guys think? I can totally see me as the boss lady watching dramas between two customers. Who’s in? Well anyways, this isn’t about me right now. It is about Shin Jae. He’s pretty disappointed that Tae Eul is not there, he wanted to play pool with her.

Jo Yeong calls lady Noh to tell her that they found the King and the he is coming back with a guest. She tells them to take the sea route so he’s not seen.

Lee Gon tells Tae Eul his name. Finally. She looks shaken and says that then she will be beheaded and Lee Gon laughs. How fake that laugh is though... Well, so they head back to the palace. And the horse is a female??? Why would you name a female horse Maximus? Whatever, the vet takes care of her and Tae Eul tries to get her cellphone working, but there’s really no signal. She asks to see Jo Yeong’s gun and end up pointing it at Lee Gon, naturally as expected everybody moves to protect the king. She lets go of the gun and Jo Yeong finally recognizes her as the girl from the ID. She’s like do you know me too? And then they are on a ship to go to the palace where Lady Noh is waiting for them, quite unhappy and makes Tae Eul go through a security check even before she finishes introducing herself. Lady Noh is like come and talk with me, and Lee Gon is just happy that Tae Eul believes that he’s the king now.

So Lady Noh sends Myeong something girl to check on Tae Eul and poor girl is really shook by the crazy woman in the king’s office. Jo Yeong comes back to take Tae Eul’s finger prints, she realizes that’s what he plans to do and even ink her thumb to make it easier to see. He asks if she’s from the parallel universe and she’s like how did you know and he asks her is she’s the one that gave the king the weird scar on his shoulder. I love how she responds that they have not reached that level of intimacy where they show each other’s back.

Lee Gon brings Tae Eul some food and she takes his cellphone from him. Lady Noh takes her to her room for the night and then tells her about how they all know about her. She tells her too not to engage with other people other than her, the king and Jo Yeong, also not to try to stay in this workld. So the doors of the room are glass like and Jo Yeong is on guard outside. She looks kind of distressed, but then Lee Gon barges in the room from the back. Dude she could have been changing. You don’t go in a lady’s room unannounced like that, even if you are the king. He brought her some more beer, at least. Anyways, he teases her about how there are dozens of cameras in the room and when she freaks out about it, he says he was just teasing. Then she asks him if he ever dated and he says he has and she’s like let me guess when... right now? WHAT? Is that a love confession??? Already? Tooooo faaaaaaast! He kisses her. Omg. HE. KISSED. HER. And she’s not pushing him away. GUYS! THIS IS EPISODE 5 SLOW DOWN. We will already have babies in episode 8 at this pace...

Next morning, he comes over again to give her a royal guard uniforme so she could sneak out but Lady Noh was already inside the room so... but it still works anyways, she lets them do it on the conditions of no pictures together. Tae Eul hands him back his phone and say that he’s a weirdo. What did she say in there? Okay, so she follows him all day long? Shouldn’t she be going back to her world to work?? Okay she’s not, he gives her clothes so she can go and have fun by herself while he’s busy. So she asks Jo Yeong for money because she bought stuff Lee Gon in her world. Hahaha. The poor chicken that they NEVER eat.

So. Now here’s the mean uncle. Offering a pregnant lady to take the place of her other self in the parallel world. Damn. That’s some plotting there, next level. I’m sure she’s goint to say yes. But to get that she has to kill the other her. She asks what will he do to her if she says no. He says he hanven’t thought about it because nobody ever told him no.

So Tae Eul is about to take a train to Seoul, the guys chasing for Luna see her and want to get her, but then Jo Yeong stops them.

So she goes looking for Kang Shin Jae. And finds him, but not as a police officer, just out of luck. They cross paths, but he doesn’t notice her. Strange. Or was it just the worlds colliding and she didn’t see him either? She’s also looking for her family, but can’t find them. And then she’s stuck in Seoul because she doesn’t have anymore money. She tries to call the king but of course they won’t let her talk to him no matter how many times she calls. Finally they tell Lee Gon about it and he decides to go get her in his helicopter. He’s a little angry that she went to far. She just wanted to see if her mom, even as someone else, was still alive in this world. Then Prime minsiter Koo is coming right then, she looks so sneaky.

And that’s it for episode 5. I have mixed feelings. Everything about this is confusing. But so far the plot is surprising and addicting. I just have a bad feeling. I hope Shin Jae never crosses to the other world. I am really worried about that. I like him better then Le Gon, but it would be a first to have guy B go crazy killing people. Well it wouldn’t really make sense so far with the plot, but I am still worried. Years of Kdrama taught me that you should never trust the writers of a show. EVER.

Feeding the Hungry

Yesterday Wendy and her friends cornered me after school just to call me names. They all laughed when she called me a “fat piece of lard”. I wanted to cry but I didn’t wanna show her she hurt my feelings. I think about how daddy beat up Philip two years ago and day dream about beating up Wendy like that all the time. Daddy won’t teach me how to fight though, and when I ask he tells me he’s gonna put me to work with him in the ranch.

Cause I don’t wanna see that ugly Wendy and her friends, today I faked being sick and it worked. Momma always gets up early to go to work, when she gets up she wakes me up. Normally she doesn’t have any patience but today I cried and told her I wasn’t feeling too well. The tears were real cause I didn’t want to go to school and it worked.

I even got to stay in bed for another hour and everything. Then daddy found out I didn’t go to school and made me go outside and work. It’s always fun being outside because the animals are fun to play with, but I don’t like the work. It’s too much and then my body hurts the next day.

I was having fun feeding carrots to the horses and they loved them so much. I ran out of carrots though. So I went inside and stole some of momma Bilmin’s bread that she makes but daddy caught me. He hit me with the belt and told me to go back inside. Now I have to feed people out front with momma Bilmin. I hate it, it’s boring.

Momma Bilmin sits underneath a walnut tree in the front of our house every day. In the mornings and after school. She always bakes honey walnut bread every night and gives it away the next day.

“Momma, why is everyone so skinny?”, I ask momma Bilmin.

Ms. Downer is always giving me mean looks like she doesn’t like me, but today she’s just staring at me. She’s really short and has a hunched back. All I know about her is that she had a son but he got taken away by the Capitol.

“We don’t all have that good life, Isadora”, Ms. Downer says. She’s looks sad. She thanks momma Bilmin for her bread and leaves.

Momma Bilmin puts her hand on my back and rubs it. We look at each other. She looks thoughtful, she always does when I ask questions. I’m always scared she’s gonna cry but she usually doesnt.

People come and go, everyone takes a piece of bread, smile so happy and leave. Momma Bilmin makes everyone happy. One day I wanna make everyone happy like that too.

When people stop coming down the road so much I start to get bored. More bored than before.

“Can we go inside now, momma?”, I ask.

“Dora, I ever tell you bout this tree?”, she points at the skinny walnut tree.

There aren’t that many trees around here either, it’s just sand, dead grass and funny plants that have needles. One time I poked one and the needle went so deep into my finger momma Bilmin had to use tweezers to take it out.

I look at the tree and shake my head. She’s never told me about this tree before.

“Ya daddy planted it the day he found out ya momma was gon have you”, she says.

“This tree is eight years old too?”, I ask.

“Mhm”, she shakes her head.

“Momma, why did the Capitol take away Ms. Downer’s boy?”.

“We’ll talk bout when you’re older”.

“Wendy says that when the Capitol takes you, you never come back and that if you do it’s cause you killed somebody but that’s okay cause you’ll be rich. Is that true?”.

Momma Bilmin lets out a long breath and looks at me. She’s thinking.

“Momma, did daddy kill somebody and become rich?”, I ask.

Daddy knows how to fight, and he’s super tough. He’s really big and strong and can even pick up calves and carry them around. They’re small but they’re very heavy. I’ve tried to pick them up too but it’s so hard.

Wendy says that I’m rich and that’s why I’m fat. She says that if she was rich she’d buy pretty dresses for her and all her friends. Then she says I have ugly dresses and I don’t wear them right. Says I act like a boy and sit like one. Sometimes I feel like I’m a boy but Wendy says I’m a girl and will never be a boy.

Momma Bilmin stares at the floor.

“No, Polomir ain’t win no games. You know who did though? My brother. His name was Amos”.

“We’re not supposed to talk about him”, I whisper to her.

Momma Bilmin smiles but she doesn’t look happy. She looks sad.

“You remind me of him”, she says combing my long curls behind my ear.

“Uncle Amos killed somebody? Is that why he killed himself? Cause he felt bad?”.

I wish I didn’t ask so many questions. Now momma Bilmin is crying and I feel bad.

“I’m sorry, momma, please don’t cry”, I hug her and she hugs me back.

She wipes a tear off her face and sniffs in her boogers. Pats my back and let’s go of my hug.

“Amos died two years before you were born, did you know that?”, she asks. I shake my head, no. I didn’t.

“He was my little brother. Five years older than Polomir. I had your daddy when I was very young”, she says. “We ain’t used to live here yet”.

“You didn’t have a house?”, I open my eyes wide. I can’t imagine our house not being here. Momma Bilmin laughs. My house is the only house down this very long road. Daddy says all of the land behind and around our house and is ours for miles.

“It was seven of us livin’ in a rundown shack in Bloques”.

Momma says that’s where the poor live and their houses are made of cement and look like square blocks. When daddy takes me with him to sell the cows we go through the town and momma’s right. It smells like pee and all the houses are small. Some are really old and made of wood but they look like the wind could take them down.

Sometimes little kids will be running around naked in the street and they’re very skinny but have big bellies. Even their dogs are skinny. Everyone looks dirty too and some of the people smell like dead animals. Daddy says it’s cause they work in the meat factories.

“I used to babysit ya momma in Littleburg”, she says.

Littleburg is where all the rich people live. All the stores are here too. I asked daddy how come we’re rich but don’t live there and he said it’s cause we’re new money. That the rich people don’t see us any different from those who live in Bloques.

“It wasn’t enough to feed all seven of us and Amos was the only one who could get tesserae. A monthly supply of grain and oil to feed us for a couple of months. Every time he applied for tesserae his name would be added seven times. One for each member in the house”, she says.

“Who did you live with? Why did they add his name?”, I ask. I have so many questions but these are the only two I know how to ask.

“We lived with my husbands family, they were nice enough to give us a roof over our heads because momma didn’t have enough money to buy our own house. It was her, me, ya daddy, Amos, my husband, his sister and his momma”

“Where’s your husband? What happened to them? Why don’t they visit?”, I ask.

“Hold on, now. One question at a time”, she says. “One day, during a Reaping, Amos’ name was called”, I gasp at the news.

“Momma, that’s so scary! I would of cried”, I say. She smiles but looks sad.

“Amos cried. I cried too. We weren’t happy and this was all new to us. It was the 4th Annual Hunger Games”, she says in a fancy voice like the clown lady that comes for reapings every year. “My husband, momma and other people who didn’t like they way our government has been treatin’ us tried to fight so they wouldn’t take Amos and the girl. Jasmine, I think was her name”, she says thinking. “They were shot down like animals in the middle of the street. Then the government took the kids”, her voice goes away and she starts crying again.

“I didn’t think I’d see him again but he won the games”, “he came back home rich!”, I scream and make my arms big. That’s how rich he came back home. Momma Bilmin laughs. She doesn’t look so sad anymore but a tear still falls down her face. She wipes it off.

“Yes, he came back rich. Bought some land, cattle, built this house”, she says turning to look back at the house.

“Then, what happened?”, I ask. Momma Bilmin looks at me for a long time.

“He was traumatized, Dora”, she says. “He killed people but not because he wanted to. He had to. That’s the only way he could come back home”, she says.

“Will I have to kill people too?”, I ask. This scares me.

“No, never. Your momma and daddy work hard to make sure you never have to”, she says.

Day 41: Double Feature The Invisible Man

She taking forever

You packed but you should have ran that to the car the evening of

U should have slept in your sweat pants

She really gon let that dog ruin her - THERE YOU GO

You relying on somebody else bitch call an uber

I would... Not shine the lights towards the forrest

YOU DIDN'T TELL YOUR HOMEGIRL 🤦🏾‍♀️

Wow dad jokes, great look on Aldis

Literally anything is a great look on him

He said my house

Agoraphobic

How long has it been

You didn't tell her the plan

Good she cut that reading

Foreshadowing

Time to spend that money for therapy

I like the co habitation vibes

Where the knife?

I am bracing myself for the accidental gaslighting from Aldis

On top of the actual gaslighting from the sicko man

Lol hey where's the cute dog

Naw the door open

Is it before 7pm

Where's the girl?

You know what the damn lights bother me more than the sheet 🤣🤣🤣

Sheets I was like alright typical creep shit

Lights flicker

Oh hell no turn that shit off i'm trying to sleep

She gotta know what his tech was doing

That's why she's extra paranoid

The star of the show arrives aldis hodge arms

Was that a call back to the original?

Aldis Hodge with the solidarity

Tom sounds like he's full of shit

For one he's not broken up about his dead brother

He just had that prepared??

Wow sis is trash

That's over the top this dude is dumb

Why would her sister send her something saying i wish you were dead and then come over immediately and he didn't delete the sent draft

One time that happened to me my dumbass left my email open at the school library and some asshole sent a message on my account to my bff at the time saying god knows what then deleted the sent folder so i don't know what nonsense was said. She mentioned something rude and i'm like wtf are you talking about and our relationship was weird after that even though it was like why would i write that shit, didn't believe me

Whoa!!! hit the kid

I knew they we're going to have to do something to get him to turn on her and i knew it was going to be the kid

Found the knife, they didn't notice it was missing?

She tearing up this mans house

Ummm

So... the effects look...bad

And the music is s little cheesy

I would just be recording everything

Ummm the dog is starving over there by himself?

So romantic

I like the tech angle better

By a lot

Basically a million cameras reflecting the environment back

Gurl put on the suit

What's the plan lady?

Why didn't you bring the suit?

Why are you holding the knife

Why would you have be open like that

Lord she stupid

Where did the knife come from? They didn't order food yet?

Taylor thinks he's supercop

Extra gaslighting but it's not even good gaslighting

He's probably not even there at this moment that wouldn't make sense

From the cop car to the psych ward which is all locked, how would he sneak in there

Say the words " it was sent from my account"

It doesn't make sense that a ridiculous white boy obsessive stalker man, wouldn't be threatened by a , large black male cop

Drugged and mystical pregnancy

This guy is fucking up to something

Jellyfish?

He kno

Another dumb bitch move, sneak around thing take birth control when you could had one iud put in

Faking his own death isn't extra because that could easily be a elon musk style publicity stunt for his suit

When she gon stop making dumb bitch moves

I would have signed the papers to get out so i could kill him myself

They are going full feminist on this one

Okay girl just stay there they got it on video and 12 people got beat up by something nobody can see

Just look around you it's raining

Why didn't they do the rain effect?

FIFTY PEOPLE HAVE NOT SEEN HIM NOW C'MON

More stupid bitch moves

Uh unnn don't shoot near the gurl

What the fuck is he took four shots, go down

Knew it

Hahaha

She just fucking did it

Lol who was it though

She didn't have enough time to get back there

And how would he not notice his suit was gone

I appreciate how we HAVE to take her word for it

We never got any evidence what so ever

I mean the brother said he was working for him but we never SAW anything, not really

Day 41: Spell

Bourgeoisie blacks case undoubtedly against the community

Rich blacks country blacks

Lol him said slavery ovah

Said get you 5G

"Talk a spell"

They are insistent

They love her to sing

Oh that bird was so a to person

Beautiful machine

She's already created a doll of him

It's broken my man

Lol the eyes moved

The bell on the door man

Ummm what the heck

That doll is going to crack me up

Not a single, is there any reason you are holding me prisoner

Looks like a light house light

Real deal he finds out

It's raining playa

You soaked and you acting suspect

He's pissing her off is a good way to prove he wasn't out there but will certainly piss her off

Is it people?

Who's phone keeps going off?

He has yet to ask why he is being detained

She has to know his family, the town being so small

And of course he knows the work

Did his kid have a tattoo i missed?

He seems pretty quickly recovered from eating his own boy

That was quick thinking

Tattletale bird

Injured lost, only way out is a plane you gotta kill those people you can't run

I think i might have tried to find that phone but then again with days left to bloodmoon it's clear they are going to kill him for their work

I wouldn't go to another house

He's not chained up

horse and buggy

It's definitely infected

Crossroad nail that's work for sure

I guess they just left

They don't care he got out

Goat

Goat

Pig

Chicken

Um just yell down there first

White cop no dick, i'll take rapist for 500 alex

They really left him, lol why

Oh maybe they just thought they forgot yo lock the door? There's clear arrogance, they are semi immortal

Now he has a plan

Family's alive

That flag is dilberate

I knew he knew the work

[humans-are-seriously-weird]

The Time I Almost Decapitated Someone While Trying To Surf

Brace for a whole lot of pain and stupidity. It starts off a little slow but stick around for the AHHHHHHH As some of you may know, i am an intense klutz. As in I-Will-Trip-Over-Absolutely-Nothing-And-Probs-Knock-Over-The-Crown-Jewels kind of klutz. A Would-Trip-And-Fall-Off-A-Cliff kind of klutz I really need to drive this point home ok this is v important to this story So this is back in Peru (yes the same trip the chicken chased me off a cliff). Work is over for the day, the sun is starting to set, and all 40 of us Canadians are headed to the beach for our very first surf lessons So we show up and our instructors hurl wetsuits at us. I do mean hurl like mine wrapped around my face like a squid i nearly died before i even hit the water smh We get separated into groups of five and head off with our instructors. All the other groups had these young Peruvian guys and girls, all smiles and gentle teachers My instructor was a cranky 80 year old who never spoke and stared at us until we figured out what we were supposed to do Before we even get to go near the beach we start learning the technique on land. We lay down on these fake boards and pretend paddle and pretend stand, all in complete silence because who needs words right Im at the point of assuming our instructor doesnt speak english, which is totes cool cause we’re getting the message anyways. We’d spent three days working around the language barrier, now was no different. Moving on Our instructor finally deems us worthy of hitting the water so we all gleefully make our way to the beach. We were all sunshine and laughter, expecting the warm sand between our toes Not happening The beach is not soft like we had thought. It was rocks. Thousands of rocks and pebbles that sent us skittering as we descended the steep incline to the water First off: No one told me how freaking exhausting this crap is All those movies of people surfing like haha look at me this is so easy and majestic be one with the waves dude were straight up liars ok i was panting and heaving like a 90 year old race horse by the time i made it out far enough to catch a wave Cue twenty frustrating minutes of trying and failing to paddle fast enough to stay on a wave I thought i looked like Dash Incredible, majesticly spearing across the water from a horde of bad guys, my arms windmilling at break neck speeds Yeah no I was more of a drowning sloth if im completely honest Id make it maybe two feet by the time one wave passed and the next was already approaching Here’s where my surfing attempt took an unexpected turn Water splashed behind me and i didnt bother turning around. Probably one of my classmates heading for a better wave area “Need some help?” The voice was definitely not my classmates My instructor sat casually on his board behind me I was so shocked to hear him speak that i just nodded dumbly, not aware of what i was agreeing to. He hops off his board and bobs in the water for a second. He casually puts on hand on the back of my board like he was keeping me from floating away Behind him a wave approaches. I lay back down and get ready to paddle. I figured maybe he’ll tell me when to start paddling so i can actually catch this one but the wave is getting closer and closer and there was still no word from him.  I was long past when I started paddling before I hear this soft intake of breath and then, “BRACE!!!” I obey blindly and grip my board in terror wondering if there was a shark lurking beneath me Instead my 80 year old instructor absolutely freaking catapults me forwards i swear that man could launch Niel Armstrong into orbit single handedly NASA who??

Im rocketing along along, too stunned to move Im on a wave!! Im on a… wave????? I scramble to my feet thinking somebody better be seeing this cuz i will not be doing this again By some miracle i manage to stand ok i do not have great balance on land so sticking me on a board in the middle of the ocean was in no ones best interest So im whizzing along feeling like im flying and just generally trying not to face plant on my board or topple into the sea ok i just got up here no way i can manage it a second time Something about the water ahead of me doesnt look right The sun is glaring off the water just enough to block whatever that thing is. Im squinting, praying im not about to hit a rock It was so much worse It was a man He was casually chillin on his board, a set of headphones in his ears, looking to the world like he was asleep Im heading straight for this guy at top speed and as i get closer i realize two very important things I dont know how to stop … … Or turn I think of the wicked looking fins on the bottom of my board I remember mildly thinking this is gonna hurt before reality truly set in I very well might kill this man if i dont figure something out fast I start screaming and flailing with as much strength as i can muster “MOVE MOVE!!!! UNLESS YOU WANNA BE FILLET LIKE A FISH YOU GOT MOVE I CANT STOOOOOP” He casually lifts out one ear bud and looks at me with a barely audible “que?” “YOU GON DIE MOVE!!!!” Clearly he didn’t understand english, but flailing and screaming is pretty universal He leisurely lays back and paddles forewards, moving him ever so slightly out of the danger zone My board hits his as i pass so close i could have flicked his nose My board launches off his and by some miracle i manage to not only stay on it, but stay standing I twist and stare back at the man I definitely did not kill as he casually lays back down on his board Good. That would have been troublesome to explain to immigration officers on my way home I face the beach again and prepare to enjoy my calm landing and– I am less than five feet from shore going full speed SHIT I do what any sane person would do I jump ship

That was the biggest mistake of my life 

See just as i jumped for dear life the wave hit its crest and i landed right in the middle of it 

Suddenly i was a soggy pair of Canadian socks in the worlds worst dryer 

On a very important side note, i am attached to the board by a long thin cable that is velcroed around my ankle, meant to keep the board from drifting and keep me safe 

That cord is the bane of my existence 

In my Horror Dryer Extreme experience the cord had managed to wrap from my ankle all the way up to my thigh, digging cruelly into my skin even through the wet suit 

I slam into shore like a beached whale 

Remember kids: shore is not my friend shore is OW 

I slam into the rocks and lay there dazed for a moment, gasping for air. No way im going back out there ill just let the water wash over me im done surfing im done with the ocean 

But the ocean wasnt done with me 

Suddenly im getting dragged by the leg down the beach. I sit up, ignoring the stones slowly filling my pants. 

My board had gotten stuck in the out take and was dragging me out to sea once again 

I go through another round of Angry Dryer Mama Ocean and get slammed mercilessly back into shore, this time hitting my face so hard i split the skin above my eye. I still have a scar hidden above my eyebrow from this 

At this point i am done 

I try to stand and grab my board but the cord was still wrapped around my leg 

Our teams guide who just so happened to be a surfer comes running over to see if im ok. “hey! Get up! Another wave is coming!” 

I try to shout back “i cant, im stuck!” But that’s not what comes out of my dizzy mouth 

Instead i lift my leg in the air like a dog and scream “I cant! It’s winding!” 

My guide took this as “I cant! Im drowning!” 

He runs over looking like a stern third grade teacher “you’re fine just get up!” 

“You think im not trying??” 

Another wave slams into me from behind and im washed out and washed back in. Lil me cant catch a break 

Somewhere in the time id been brutally slammed back to shore my guide vanished. Fine then

 I quickly unwrap my leg and scramble to my feet 

Screw this, screw the board, im leaving!! 

I start sprinting for my life up the hill to safety 

SPLAT 

My leg is yanked out from beneath me and i face plant hard 

I didnt take off the velcro strap 

Washed out 

And washed back in 

I rip the velcro from my ankle the second i hit shore 

My guide appears out of nowhere and grabs my board and starts shouting at me to run 

I ask no questions as I scramble up the side 

Now, my guide, carrying two 50lbs surf boards makes it to the top of the hill just fine 

Not me 

A wave sucker punches me and drags me out again 

Washed out. Washed in. 

At this point im just accepting my fate to be forever bound by the sea im like the opposite of a selkie except the sea has my foot and i cant stay on the freaking land free me from my curse 

Eventually i make it up to the top and collapse like sweet releif i am free of this hell 

My guide sets my board down and looks at me. “Rekina. Stay here, the others are having a hard time too. Dont do anything stupid” trust me pal im going no where this is my home now tell my mother i love her 

(Honestly Never tell me not to do something stupid. It’s a sure fire way to make sure i do the absolute dumbest thing possible) 

I shoot him a weak thumbs up as he takes off down the beach, cackling at the poor idiot Canadians floundering in the surf. 

Youd think my Adventure was over 

Not a chance pal 

I sit up and notice one of my classmates in the same predicament i was in 

There wasnt even another option for my next choice 

I stagger back down the hill and help him up. I grab his board and all but shove him back up the hill and somehow we both made it up safe and sound 

Until we see our teacher not moving on the beach below us, her body getting battered and tossed around by the waves 

Our guide is nearly a kilometer away down the beach, too far for us to call for help 

I look at my classmate and he’s shaking his head like i am not going down there again are you crazy

I pop to my feet and race down the hill i am not letting my teacher die on my watch ok im not that kind of person fight me 

My classmate groans and follows behind 

I grab the teacher who was thankfully just stunned and unhurt and help her to her feet. My classmate grabs her board and they both start staggering up the incline far too slowly. I stay behind them to make sure they dont fall and hit the surf again. Happily they made it up just fine 

Not my ass 

Im slammed face first into the ground courtesy of a massive wave that just loves me too much 

The ocean gave me a friendly love tap as it dragged me down the hill and slammed me against it one more time for good measure 

I finally make it back to the top and swear to never surf again in my life (but let’s be real even near drowning cant stop me from trying again)

All in all a pretty successful first attempt

Toonami Night Review: The Final COUNTDOWN Begins.

Well last week we continued on with the Toonami Immersion Event known as COUNTDOWN. In the penultimate episode, future TOM begins setting the Vindication’s reactors to explode, TOM witnesses Evil SARA blow up Earth (or possibly Alderaan), and present SARA asks who future TOM is and why he’s trying to destroy the ship. Can’t wait to see how it all ends this coming Saturday.

And speaking of Saturday, as I said in the previous review, we’ll be having a DBZ Kai marathon for Thanksgiving weekend. And as I said before, I think Dragon Ball Super would’ve been a better choice, but if they want us to feel like we’re eating soylent green by watching Buu eat humans then so be it. Again, the only thing I’m looking forward to is the final episode of the COUNTDOWN event, and maybe a chance to make some more jokes at past episodes.

But enough about old news, aside from the COUNTDOWN event last week, it was just another regular night on Toonami. Okay maybe not completely normal, what with the creepy glitchy bumpers, but normal in my book at least. Again there wasn’t any music videos, and of course with the event, no video game reviews either. Heck, there wasn’t much hot pocket commercials to DING to last week, so it’s been pretty bland at the moment.

Well maybe “bland” is bit too harsh, perhaps “the usual” would be a better way of saying it. I mean after COUNTDOWN, we had our usual power hour of Dragon Ball, which was both thrilling and horrible. The latter part I’ll explain later in the recap for DBZ Kai. After that was the usual bizarre adventure on Stardust Crusaders, the usual awesome mecha battle on Gundam IBO, and Gon being reckless as ever in Hunter x Hunter.

Following that, we began the second half of the run with Lupin being the clever thief as always in Lupin the Third, another flashback story on Naruto Shippuden, and a big duel between the crew of the Outlaw Star and the MacDougall brothers on, well, Outlaw Star. We then watch Jet make peace with the past on Cowboy Bebop, before ending the night with Section 9 dealing with rogue A.I. helicopter gunships and conspiracies on Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG.

Yep, definitely another regular night on the block. Now to end this review with the usual recap of last week’s shows!

Dragon Ball Super: We’re introduced to Grand Zeno, the ominous but adorable ruler of all universes. Originally he came to scold the destroyers for slacking, but lets them off easy after watching the tournament, which entertained him so much that he now wants to create one of his own involving multiple other universes. Naturally Goku is thrilled about it, especially if it means a chance to fight Hit again.

After Champa leaves with his champions to have them train for the upcoming tournament, Beerus has Bulma and the others look for the last Super Dragon Ball, which is soon revealed to be the small planet they had fighting on the entire time. Using the magic words in the ancient language, Super Shenron is summoned, and appears in the most awesome way possible.

Upon finally meeting the dragon, Beerus makes his wish. While he makes everyone think he wished for the most perfect bed ever, the destroyer had secretly wished for the Earth in Champa’s universe to be restored, giving him the chance to enjoy the planet’s fine food. With the exciting adventure at an end, Goku and the others return home, with the later looking forward to getting ready for the next tournament.

DBZ Kai: After some punishment from their mothers, and a scolding from Piccolo, Goten and Trunks successfully fuse into Super Saiyan Gotenks. Unfortunately, the attitude problem has not been fixed, and its back to the drawing board for these two.

Meanwhile, Mr. Satan continues serving Majin Buu, as well as tries to blow him up. However, after Buu heals a puppy and becomes friends with it, Mr. Satan has decides not to blow him up. In fact, later on Mr. Satan actually succeeds in convincing Majin Buu to stop killing people, and possibly become good being.

Unfortunately Mr. Satan’s success in saving Earth goes horribly short when some blonde asshole gunman named Van Zant shoots Buu’s dog, naturally shattering the remaining goodness within Majin Buu, and very dooming Earth and its inhabitants 100 freaking percent. Way to go you god damn jackass.

Stardust Crusaders: Polnareff falls victim to Enyaba’s Stand, JUSTICE, and given a fate worse than death, licking an old toilet. Fortunately, Jotaro comes to his rescue, but too falls victim to Enyaba’s stand. However not for long, as uses his Stand, STAR PLATINUM, to suck in JUSTICE and Enyaba to suffocate and become unconscious.

With Enyaba taken out, the hotel withers and the village and its people disappear to reveal a massive graveyard and corpses. With the day clear and the fog gone, JoJo and his friends decide to keep Enyaba alive for her knowledge on DIO and the other Stand users. But they’ll have to find a new form of transportation, as Hol Horse takes off with their jeep.

Gundam IBO: As the war between the SAU and Arbrau drags on, Galan Mossa continues to exhaust Tekkadan to keep the fighting going on, while his partner Radice tries to keep Orga and the others from landing on Earth. But Galan’s plans for a war of attrition are soon cut short, as McGillis decides lead the SAU’s forces himself into battle, leading to what might be the final battle of the war.

Hunter x Hunter: Despite his recklessness, and losing his left hand, Gon defeats Genthru with skill, determination, and a powerful punch to the gut. With the Bomber Devils defeated, Gon and his friends decide to spare them, as well as take their cards. And after collecting the rest of the cards from their friend Goreinu, all that’s left to do is beat a quiz and collect the final card to beat the game, #0.

Lupin the Third: After the “Dragon’s Tail” is stolen from MI6 by the mercenary FOX, Gibbons of MI6 holds Nyx’s family hostage, and forces the former agent to get the plans back. At FOX’s island base, Lupin sneaks in to obtain the Dragon’s Tail, which turns out to be a list of all the agents of MI6. While trying to steal the disc, the master thief encounters Nyx, and the two get into a fight. However, they soon get captured by the mercs, and Lupin is forced to decrypt the password on the disc. However, after FOX uses it, he immediately wakes the “Dragon”. The Dragon being a team of MI6 agents sent in to kill all the witnesses and retrieve the disc.

Nyx explains to Lupin the phases of the clean up operation as it happens. Phase 1 was Nyx, an agent sent in to retrieve the disc. Should the agent fail, Phase 2 is immediately set in motion, which is to bomb the hell out of the island. Once that’s done, Phase 3 is next, which is to send the team of MI6 agents to mop up the remaining survivors and collect the disc. With the surviving mercenaries being wiped out, Lupin and Nix work together to fight off the MI6 operatives. Jigen and Goemon soon arrive as well, and just in time to save Nyx from getting killed. Soon after leaving the island, Lupin helps fake Nyx’s death, and the latter manages to save his family in time.

After that, Nyx goes after Gibbons personally, and almost manages to kill had Leonardo da Vinci got in the way. Apparently there was no traitor at MI6 that gave away the Dragon’s Tail, it was Leonardo the entire time, having helped FOX break in and acquire the disc. Like Lupin, he wanted to use the Dragon’s Tail to throw off MI6 from his own tail and be left alone. After send Nyx off to be with his family, Leonardo deals with Gibbons himself. The latter tries to shoot Leonardo, but instead kills himself, as Leonardo had sabotaged his pistol to shoot backwards. With Gibbons dead, Leonardo tells Lupin to keep the Dragon’s Tail before leaving.

Naruto Shippuden: More flashbacks to the days of Team 7, this time involving swordsmen, vendetta, a betting pool, and one really ill-tempered ostrich.

Outlaw Star: After the great space race, Gene and the crew of the Outlaw Star take on the MacDougall Brothers and their ship, the El Dorado, in a duel within an asteroid field. During the intense ship to ship fight, Gene manages to ram the Outlaw Star into the El Dorado, and then board it to confront the brothers.

However, he soon only finds the younger brother, Harry, who starts hacking into the Outlaw Star, as well as terrorize poor Melfina within the system. Fortunately Gene stops him before he can harm Melfina, and begins interrogating the young MacDougall as to where is his older brother.

Its then revealed that Ron was piloting another ship, who arrives to pick him up. Before getting away, Harry tries to blow up the Outlaw Star with the El Dorado, but Gene manages to get the ship away in time. As the MacDougall brothers get away, Gene then pilot the ship to pick up Aisha, who had been acting as a lookout during the battle.

Cowboy Bebop: Upon arriving on Ganymede to collect a bounty, Jet is contacted by an old friend Donnelly from the local police force. While the two catch up, Donnelly brings up Jet’s former girlfriend, Alisa, who’s now opened up a cafe at the port of Marvis. After collecting the reward, Jet heads over to the cafe, La Fin, where he briefly encounters Alisa’s boyfriend Rhint.

Jet and Alisa then begin chatting, with Alisa talking about closing shop and moving on, and Jet talking about how he became a bounty hunter and still having that watch she left him with. While Jet begins asking why Alisa left him, since she never explained why in her message she left him, Spike gets a call from Donnelly about a new bounty on Rhint, now wanted for murder. Spike, understanding of the situation, asks about the reward before taking off on his ship.

Shortly after Jet leaves, Rhint becomes worried after learning he was a bounty hunter. Apparently he had killed a loan shark that was threatening Alisa one night, and now he’s worried Jet might come back to collect the bounty on his head. Alisa then decides that they need to flee immediately, and they soon get ready to leave on a hovercraft boat. Unfortunately for them, Spike spotted them and begins to give chase. He follows them through the Industrial District, firing a couple of warning shots, before almost crashing into Jet.

After telling Jet about Rhint’s bounty, the former cop decides he’ll take over from here, and begins chasing after Alisa and Rhint. After pursuing them through tight canals and into an open bay, Jet uses his ship’s harpoon on their hovercraft, causing it to crash at a nearby rocky shoreline. Landing his ship, Jet confronts Alisa and Rhint, as the police begin to hover over them. Alisa holds Jet at gunpoint, demanding he let them runaway. Jet tells her no, saying that even if he did, she would get caught later by someone else and be charged as an accomplice.

It’s then that Alisa explains her reason for leaving Jet back then, saying that he always made the decisions for the both of them, and that she never had to do anything for herself. As Alisa lowers her gun and cries, Rhint tries to run off, but is quickly caught by Jet. While he hands Rhint over to the police, Jet talks with the police, and tells Alisa that Rhint will probably be released on a self defense plea. As he and Alisa make up and go their separate ways, Jet throws the watch into the water, finally content to put the past behind him.

GitS: SAC 2nd GIG: During a live fire exercise, an assault helicopter goes rogue when the pilot dies of a heart attack and the A.I. takes over the controls, believing the craft is under attack. The military tries to recall the helicopter, but the A.I. is refuses, and goes on to hijack several nearby military aircraft to form a tight defence formation over a residential refugee district. With the rogue aircraft firing on anyone they perceive to be a threat, Section 9 and the Ground Self Defence Force are on standby awaiting orders. It’s then that Chief Aramaki is met by the head of the Cabinet Intelligence Service, Kazundo Goda, who explains what’s probably causing the helicopter A.I. to refuse orders, and gives them a plan to resolve the situation.

Section 9 moves in to carry out the plan, and after luring the gunship away with the Tachikomas, as well as the Major wrangling the helicopter in place, Saito snipe’s the dead pilot’s cyberbrain. With it destroyed, the A.I. acknowledges the stand down order and it and the other rogue aircraft return to their bases. While the plan is a major success, it’s too late to undo the damage that’s been done. Because of the incident, relations between the government and the refugees are strained. Even more, Chief Aramaki begins to suspect that there might be a conspiracy behind this.

And that’s it for the recap, as well as this review. As said before, this coming weekend will be the DBZ Kai Thanksgiving Marathon on Toonami. While some might not want to watch another marathon, I know most will nonetheless stick around at least to see the conclusion of the COUNTDOWN event.

Hopefully after this Immersion event, nothing changes and things stay the same. But if there are, I hope they’re good ones. Don’t want anything bad happening to TOM, SARA, or more importantly the Vindication since they just got the ship to fly last year for crying out loud.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing you again on Saturday night. And until the next Toonami Night Review, see ya and Stay Gold!

[cantwritetosavealife]

My Dad is a Pastor... P.S. Someone show Hopsin. He gets it.

Dad you need to read this. This connects the religious struggle I have been facing through my life. I think lately I have truly come to know God. I think this rapper is struggling. He is similar to all the people I have come to know in my walk through life with God. I think you and I need to start having sessions together again where you teach your knowledge and discipline with our faith and I can show you what the world is today and where we are at since as Christians we are only as holy as the most unholy person among us.

I Encourage you to listen to this song over and over until you can understand it. It will be hard for you because you are very disconnected from where the world is today.

Dad, I think you gave up on bringing heaven to earth. Dad you haven’t been the same since grandpa died. But I’m gonna bring you back to reality.

I’m really sorry about the language and about the harsh reality that im revealing, I really hope that you understand.

You need to understand that those people who did not find god that you have faced in your life… they went off and had kids.. and I grew up with those kids.. those kids are becoming men.. I want to stand in the middle of all the evil that these people are subjected to and I want to be the rock.. I trust in my faith in God, I know I will fail.. but I’ll stand back up and I will subject myself to everyone’s ability to forgive.

Im sharing this for everyone that feels like they know christian faith better than the ones who taught them. Your right, trust God, question everything in this world, but trust God, contemplate the bible and research what you don’t know about the natural world, the more you connect the two, the more you will learn about yourself and the world, don’t be afraid of what you don’t know.

Ill Mind Of Hopsin 7

It's us, mind power

Live life, mind power

It's us, mind power

Live life, mind power

Yo, fuck anybody I might alarm

Life is a tour, I sit and ride along

Taking some notes and then I write the song

I'm staring down the road my life has gone

Is this where I belong?

Is it wrong to not believe in right and wrong?

My mental state is fucking me up

And I cried upon while asking you for some answers

But we don't have that type of bond

Now my desires gone with the way that I've been living lately

If I died right now, you'd turn the fire on

Sick of this bullshit, niggas call me a sellout

'Cause I hopped on Christianity so strongly then I fell out

Now I'm avoiding questions like a scared dog with his tail down

Feeling so damn humiliated 'cause they looking at me like I'm hellbound

What story should I tell now? I'll just expose the truth

I'm so close to the fucking edge, I should be close to you

But who the fuck are You? You never showed the proof

And I'm only fucking human yo, what am I supposed to do?

There's way too many different religions with vivid descriptions

Begging all fucking men and women to listen

I can't even beat my dick without getting convicted

These ain't wicked decisions, I got different intentions

I been itching to get it, I've been given assistance

But the whole fucking system is twisted

Now I'm dealing with this backlash because Marcus isn't a Christian

And I've been told that my sinful life is an addiction

But I can't buy it, it's just too hard to stand beside it

I need an answer and humans can't provide it

I look at the Earth and Sun and I can tell a genius man designed it

It's truly mind blowing, I can't deny it

Is heaven real? Is it fake? Is it really how I fantasize it?

Where's the Holy Ghost at? How long it take Man to find it?

My mind's a nonstop tape playing and I can't rewind it

You gave me a bible and expect me not to analyze it

I'm frustrated and you provoked it

I'm not reading that motherfucking book because a human wrote it

I have a fucking brain, you should know it

You gave it to me to think to avoid every useless moment

It was a mission that I had to abort

'Cause humans be lying with such an inaccurate source

It's gon' be hard to put me back on the course

Next Jehovah's witness to come on my porch, I swear I'm slammin' the door

A lot of folks believe it though, but I'm not surprised

Humans are fucking dumb, still thinkin' that Pac's alive

I ain't trying to take your legacy and torch it down

I'm just saying, I ain't heard shit from the horse's mouth

Just sheep always telling stories of older guys

Who were notarized by you when you finally vocalized

Now I'm supposed to bow my head and close my eyes

And somehow let the Holy Ghost arise, sounds like a fucking poltergeist

Show yourself and the boom is done

Every rumor's gone, I no longer doubt this shit, you're the one

I'll admit that my sinful ways was stupid fun

And all my old habits can hop onto of a roof to plunge

I'll donate to a charity that could use the funds

Fuck the club, instead of bitches I'd hang with a group of nuns

And everyone that I ran into would know what I came to do

I wouldn't take a step unless it was in the name of You

I hate the fact that I have to believe

You haven't been chatting with me like you did Adam and Eve

And I ain't seen no talking snake or rabbit from trees

With an apple to eat, that shit never happens to me

I don't know if you do or don't exist, shit is driving me crazy

Send your condolences, this is me reaching to you so don't forget

If hell is truly your pit of fire and I get thrown in it

I'mma probably regret the fact that I ever wrote this shit

My gut feeling says it's all fake, I hate to say it but fuck it, shit I done lost faith

This isn't a small phase, my perspective's all changed

My thoughts just keep picking shit apart all day

And in my mind I make perfect sense

If you aren't real then all my prayers aren't worth a cent

That would mean that I could just make up what my purpose is

And I could just sit in the church and say fuck in the services

Man what if Jesus was a facade? Then that would mean the government's God

I feel like they've been brainwashing us with a lot

So much that we don't even notice that we're stuck in the box

Man everything is what if, why is it always what if

Planet Earth what if, the universe what if

My sacrifice what if, my afterlife what if

Every fucking thing that deals with you is fucking suspect

I'm fucking done, I'm fucking done

This is my fucking life and I'm living it, I'm having fun

If you really care for me, prove that I need to live carefully

But I'll be damned if I put my own pleasure aside for an afterlife that isn't even guaranteed

We are you, and you're us, stop playing games

My life's all I got, and heaven is all in my brain

And when I feel I am in hell, my ideas are what get me through pain

Do as you please, and I'll just do me, I'm a human, I'll stay in my lane

Ill mind

It's us, mind power

Live life, mind power

It's us, mind power

Live life, mind power

Thoughts about Ruler: Master of the Mask, Part 10

(Note: This entry is going to be longer than the usual incoherent or coherent posts I've had. I'm still digesting all the feelings I have for this episode because wow, RMOTM actually had the potential to raise the bar.)

 I must be a sadist. I watched The Throne last Tuesday, then I watched today's episode. I've mourned Yoo Ah In's Sado, now I mourn for Yoo Seung Ho's Lee Seon (albeit for a short period of time).

The episode last night depicted a good picture of the main theme of this show imo, power, which fits just right as we move headfirst to the climax of the story.

(I’ll be a decent person for once and put this expand post thing here because this entry has more spoilers than I think should be spilled).

Dae Mok proved to be the best villain out of all in the show as he nitpicked on all his enemies. In one swoop, with the fake King's help, he managed to get absolute power within the court and in extension, Joseon. He loves (with whatever is left of his blackened heart) his granddaughter, as we've seen throughout the series, but will not waver in the name of his organization. He tortured the true king with his lover and his most loyal friend, knowing that beneath the regality, he is simply a man who protects the people he care about. I could already feel the satisfaction of seeing him dead when this series ends, in whatever form it will reach him. Props to Heo Jun Ho for being very, very effective on his role.

I feel bad for the queen dowager, but then again, the better villain always prevails. I will miss her being at the top of her game. Kim Sun Kyung is becoming one of my favorite actresses to watch in her generation, second to Jeon Mi Sun.

Hwa Goon actually gained my sympathy this time as her grandfather forced her to bend to his will. I liked the interaction she had with her father, that the latter's love always prevails. They gained my sympathy because beneath all the bullshit they experienced from the head of their family, they never lost the ability to care for each other. I still dislike her for forcing herself to the true king (especially at this episode), but actually felt sad at the idea that she would surrender everything to him. I'll discuss more on the true king later. For now, it will suffice to say that had the true king held hands with Pyunsoo Group by marrying Hwa Goon, it will only ruin them both. I hate her for slapping Ga Eun because the latter has no idea (again, who’s fault is this?) because she had no fucking right. Who set the ball ralling in the first place? Huh? (slaps Hwa Goon because you need to wake up too girl!!) But what takes the cake for me was when Gon lied to Hwa Goon for her sake! And how it breaks Gon to betray his master. Why did the writers fucking threw their pairing aside?! (screams) And when Hwa Goon actually pressed the sword on Gon's neck with the latter remaining steady on his resolve! What a parallel with our main leads. Had the writers went this way, I would have liked Hwa Goon more (even just a smidge of it). Anyway, thumbs up to Kim Seo Kyung for portraying Gon this way, worming in my heart after that fucking Hyun Suk betrayed us all. In the case of Yoon So Hee, she has her moments, but she still feels exhausted to me when she gets angry (except for that scene with Gon). I would have wanted an extra oomph from her, because Hwa Good could have been more likable on my part had she brought the same degree on intensity as the other leads.

The one receiving my ire once more (Actually, not just ire. I want so bad to slap him. I want to inflict physical character on him fucking asshole.) is the fake king. YOU FUCKING POSER GET OFF YOUR FUCKING HIGH HORSE AND FIGHT ME!!!!! (screams) He became a corrupted, guiltless puppet whose selfish intentions ruined the lives of those who actually care for him. FUCK YOU FAKE KING. Just when we thought he was in the right position to help the true king and his lover, jealousy takes over. AIN'T GONNA TAKE MY BABY GIRL'S HEART BASTARD. I hate him so much right now I want to run a sword through him, harakiri style. He fails to see how he would never win Ga Eun's heart. He actually had the nerve to console her after telling her of the true king's "death". FUCK YOU UGH DIE!!!!! In terms of acting, Kim Myung Soo actually played his role fine. While not to the level of his true counterpart (discussed later), he actually managed to bring about this rage within me (for his character).

(Pauses to take a deep breath)

Now, let's go to my babies because HOW DARE YOU WRITER-NIM HURTING THEM GAAAAAAAAAAAH (slaps left and right).

Let's start with our beloved Chung Woon. It's about damn time he confessed to Ga Eun that she was the one to behead her father. (I want to slap the true king for prolonging everyone's agony, but I'll let it slip this time because because because!!! You'll see later.) Can you see how understanding Ga Eun would have been had the truth been told to her all this time? (glares at writer-nim) The fact that she actually comes with Chung Woon proves that. Also, his bromance shone again in this episode, when Dae Mok used him as another bait for the true king to join Pyunsoo Group. WHY DID YOU DO THAT AHHHHHH WHY DID YOU BLIND MY CHUNG WOON! But maybe it is fitting for his guard career to end like this, his blindness as the price he paid for going with the late king's orders. But goodness, who will save the day now?

Another good thing in this episode was how Woo Bo bounced back to his usefulness being a true king's man. The subtle communication he had with the fake king provided him with the answers he needed, and I'm so damn excited for him to execute a plan of action versus Pyunsoo Group. By being fired, so to speak, Woo Bo was placed in the right position to sequester the loyal followers of the true king during his time as the chief peddler. Remember what the true king/chief peddler asks in return, the loyalty of the people he aided as he trained to become who he has been right now? This is the perfect time to call on them. And thank you, Park Chul Min, for being our endearing drunkard. I look forward to your "mental" battle with Dae Mok.

And now. MY BABIES. (hugs YSH and KSH)

 I'll start with the true king because damn Yoo Seung Ho, you're giving me a run for my money. This time, we see the true king fight Pyunsoo Group not as a leader, but as a lover. Do I hate him for it, for letting his emotions get the best of him? At first thought, I would have. That's reckless. That's insane. That's not worth it. (This is me speaking with my mind over matter perspective.) But then, watching the entire episode, facing Pyunsoo Group is some sort of rite of passage not just for him, but for Ga Eun as well. I like how dignified he carried himself at the beginning, and how Dae Mok broke him little by little until he was left with no other choice but to relent. He was a gentleman to Hwa Goon through it all, and his standing by his principles and his heart only made him shine all the more. He wouldn't take Hwa Goon because he was a decent person who wouldn't bring about that sort of pain even to his worst enemy. He wouldn't take power that was stolen or taken by spilled by blood. He would not be seduced by power, especially when it stemmed from evil. He would not ascend at the expense of other people, and that's what makes him a good person. I think that is what makes Hwa Goon not appeal to him, because at the core of her kindness towards him is the selfishness that would always be a step away from topping over the edge. We could hate him for his decisions, but we couldn't fault him for wanting what's best for those around him.

And when Dae Mok blinded Chung Woon and he suddenly screamed "Master Dae Mok!" Oh my gosh. I love watching the true king break down. So in character, so true of his vow as the leader of his people.

As a lover, he demanded respect for Ga Eun when she was unceremoniously dragged by Dae Mok's men because in his eyes, she is the rightful queen to his king. He would put her safety first, whether or not he knows that the odds are against him. He would risk his neck if that meant she would not be involved anymore. He took the poison to save Ga Eun, which was his initial intention. At this point, if it were any other actor/person, I would be screaming at how stupid he had been, but YOO SEUNG HO DAMN. He made us feel the depth of his love for the woman who always had his heart, and like any sucker for undying first loves, I succumbed to the storm of emotions brewing within me and cried my heart out.

And Han Ga Eun, the most powerful pawn in the show. The bait to both Lee Suns. The subject of hate and jealousy of Hwa Goon. This episode is another revelation to her, an extension of the trauma-inducing exchange with the true king. Finally, she asked the truth about her father's death to the right person. Finally, she held her own to Hwa Goon face to face (When she was slapped, I was like "Oh no you didn't!" Then when she stopped the latter from slapping her again, I was like "Yeah show her!"). Seriously, Hwa Good had no right after all her actions. Gets Ga Eun's father killed now this? Ha! Going back, I hate the fake king continued to appeal to her by using their old friendship. (One of these days, someone should hand me that asshole's ass.) Now that she would be concubine to the fake king, she would be in the perfect position to make things work for the good. Even if she thinks the true king dead (saving the best for last), I really, really hope they make the best use of her, as the last piece standing. Come to think of it, the queen is the most powerful chess piece right? I shouldn't but I am anticipating some showdown with her on the lead. She is the only hope of the "light" side with everyone thinking the true king dead. From what I could see, she is the best bet of the inner court with Mae Chang and the Chief Eunuch as her guide.

And lastly. Gosh. I know the mourning is short lived, but oh my gosh, did Kim So Hyun and Yoo Seung Ho make me cry like a baby. On the verge of taking the poppy wine, Ga Eun tried to prevent the true king from drinking the poison. The way she told him she would not forgive him for wasting her father's death, then the way she called him His Majesty and telling him that she already knows the truth (I really hate the writers right now for this torture, but I'll take what I can get.) Her desperate cries. Lee Sun calling her "Ga Eun-ah". The moment it hits him that she knows the truth.

The small smile he gave her before drinking the poppy wine (thinking about this scene makes me teary-eyed ugh come on). That small smile reminds me of that scene in Goblin wherein Kim Shin finally defeated the ghost of his enemy and realized that Eun Tak will be safe even at the cost of his immortal life. Here we have two men realizing that they finally get to do something good/save the women they love.

The way Lee Sun fell. The way Ga Eun held the sword to push it out of her way to hold Lee Sun. And that heartbreakingly sad confession. "From the first time I saw you, with all my heart, I loved you." His hand fell. Silence. That look of disbelief in Ga Eun's face. Then her cry. While Lee Sun's body was being carried away, the desperate way she tried to go after him.

WHY OH WHY IS THIS SCENE TORTURING ME

(Also, wow YSH and KSH. WOW. With Dae Mok clapping, you'd think he's clapping for the performance of the two rather than his victory.)

And her disbelief when the fake king confirmed (!!!!!!) that the true king is dead. "I still have so many things to tell him!" Reminds me of that scene in Moon Embracing the Sun when the court members stopped Yeo Jin Goo from running after Kim Yoo Jung as she was banished from the palace when she was cursed upon the request of the Queen Dowager. KSH gutted me.

I cried a lot. I'm so, so exhausted.

Anyway, to close this unbelievably long post, I think what appeals to me about RMOTM is the fine line power creates between good and evil. That the characters who are naturally good remain incorruptible makes me root for them all the more, good writing or not. RMOTM showed us the extremes these characters are willing to take to achieve their ultimate goals.

So to you who reached the end of this post, congratulations. I hope you don't feel as tired as I am composing this.
