[his-saiko]

"You know I love you, right?"

You look at him with a thoughtful expression. You blink a few times and search for any sign that could help you understand the situation a bit better.

He only looks at you with a smile that could mean a lot of things. "What?"

"Can you not say it like that, please?"

He chuckles and wraps his arms around you. "What's wrong?"

"It sounded like 'goodbye'."

sally park: a missed opportunity

this is probably going to rot in drafts for a WHILE but i needed to scream into the void about this so let me rant to YOU (yes, you) about how ptj fucked up sally park's writing and purpose in the story so much that she is now just a bundle of missed opportunities. the same could also be said about other characters like crystal choi, luah lim, etc. but i just reread hunt for hostel and i have a lot of insane thoughts that need to be screamed about.

as a character who was the center of attention during her introduction arc, she has been reduced to simply an eli enabler and warren's love interest, who gets about 3 panels to really shine, and then is demoted back into window dressing.

warning: mild eli hate ahead but i do NOT hate eli, i just hate ptj for making everything hostel related eli-centric, when sally is arguably just as important.

so. lets start at the beginning.

from the very beginning, the eli jang arc was told from sally's perspective especially based off the narration, and her character during the majority of the eli jang arc BANGED. initially introduced as a classic demure, feminine savior figure for bad boy warren in the first chapter of the eli jang arc, it's then shown that she isn't as naive or one-dimensional as she may seem.

in fact, shes shown to be fiercely independent and self-sufficient, learning to live by herself and deal with her own problems without anyone helping her, while simultaneously grappling with her grandmother blaming her over her dad's death (side note this plotline, which could've added so much depth to her story was NEVER picked up again)

on my first read of the eli jang arc, this sequence actually punched me in the gut and sally became an instant fav

but i digress. continuing back to the main point, sally was a tremendously well written character (or as good as we're gonna' get when it comes to female characters by ptj) in the eli jang arc, whether it be her narration (scenes like "sometimes i think if i hadn't introduced them to eli back then, our story wouldn't have been such a tragedy"), or her actual actions in the story.

she was integral to the story. in fact, i would say that she was MORE central to the heart and soul of hostel than eli jang was (at first, before she got butchered by ptj and forgotten about) because it was HER that was providing for her family with HER own money, until eli stepped in months later. she was the one that everyone wanted to assist and protect because she was who was holding everyone together through her sacrifice and love.

LOOK AT HER!!! just LOOK AT HER!!! she is so noble and tragic and she does everything for the sake of her family, including starving herself! she is so tremendously loving and sacrifices so much for her family, which is why everyone unites around her to help her!

in fact, the reason warren, eli, and others devolve into crime and stealing is to help her get more money for food, as they can't bear to see her starve herself. while this does come off a little bit white knight-ey (oh a big strong man has to save the sweet damsel), the point is that she has this kind of power over the people around her through her genuine leadership skills

not only that, but she was actually also the one who came up with the idea of using their old building to provide for more homeless kids, showing that she really should be credited with the creation and management of the runaway fams, far more than she is in the story.

even though, immediately after, its shown that she didn't think enough about the financials of the situation, and eli gets his time to shine by coming up with the point organization stuff, the way its framed portrays both sally's idea and eli's financial proposal of the financial system as equally important things. this scene makes me think that, at the very least, sally and eli's importance should be on equal footing: sally is the passion, the heart, the core, while eli is the figurehead, the brains, the fighter.

in summary, sally was the person who united the original hostel A through her leadership, kindness, and sacrifice, and had so much soft power over everyone that the entirety of her family would do anything to help her. she also came up with the idea of helping runaway families, demonstrating her kindness and generosity.

not only that, she was still actively managing the runaway families and making money while eli fucked off to j high to become a barber, allowing her to get closer to the runaway fams and inspire them with her leadership.

with all that said, it's clear that sally should be a three-dimensional girlboss who uses her charisma and good personality to gain soft power and lead the people around her as one of the figureheads and hearts of the hostel crew, right?

well. no.

after the eli jang arc, she becomes close to useless.

i dont remember much of 2A outside of the big deal stuff, but what i do remember is that sally does nothing, wins a singular rock-papers-scissors game, and then becomes a damsel in distress again that warren needs to save and gets to show off his cool fighting skills in the process. (this may not be accurate, feel free to correct me if im wrong)

but my BIGGEST gripe is the hunt for hostel arc. the hunt for hostel arc was very much centered around eli, warren, and even jerry, more than it was sally, despite how much of an integral role she played in the formation of hostel. during the entire arc, she does basically nothing but watch on the sidelines

... and then ptj pulls this on us. they all unite because they admire and love eli jang so much? only eli jang? not warren chae, gangdong's mighty? not max and derek, the two uncles? not sally park, THE big mama?

i cannot emphasize how ironic it is that sally, the big mama, quite literally gave birth to the idea of the runaway fams, and yet nobody mentions her again afterwards, and only ever eli jang. like... what did eli ever do for you? give you a shitty haircut?

and when warren and eli leave, i FINALLY thought that ptj was going to give sally a moment to shine and show her by herself again, like she was all that time ago, and how she figures out how to save her family despite being unable to fight...

but no. we get this sick ass panel and then she is completely irrelevant again

the next example of the sally erasure comes when eugene is talking to eli about him joining workers. he tries to convince eli that this is the ONLY thing that he can do to protect his family, and that, now that he's here and so is warren, hostel is weak and helpless because the MEN that get everything done aren't there anymore and "oh no, what can sally park and the girls do?"

like fym "what can they do"?! sally is a LEADER and she has POWER and INFLUENCE (or at least, she should). but no, the narrative doesn't prove him wrong, and sally does next to nothing in the narrative.

i cannot emphasize how much more of a leader figure she is than eli btw. she took all the runaway kids under her wing. it was her idea to build an organization for these kids in the first place. she was the one singlehandedly raising money for all 7 high schoolers in her family before eli stepped in. she STARVED HERSELF and CUT HER OWN FINGERS trying to make food for her family. she was THE big mama. EVERYONE wanted to protect her and respect and love her. and yet ELI is the main character of hostel that is oh so important and that everyone will unite under????

"oh no without you how will anything get done, eli jang?" stfu

and even when she does do things, later on, it's really more of an excuse for vasco to shine. while she was the one to get heather's mom to forgive eli, as well as the one that got vasco to save eli in the first place, 1) her major role in this part of the story is entirely sidelined and given no narrative weight outside of being the reason that eli's healing arc can happen and 2) the only agency we've ever seen her having since hostel arc is in relation to eli. she only ever acts on her own to save eli. she PROBABLY did stuff outside of that to help hostel, but that is entirely offscreen and not focused on at all, so her leadership and agency when it comes to things outside of a MAN are ignored.

in chapter 478, i thought that she was once again given a brief moment to shine when she looked sad and all wondering what they would do once they didn't have the income workers supplied them with, and i was hoping that she'd get a chance to creatively problem solve around it to show a good character moment for her and the rest of hostel... but who am i kidding this is ptj of course he wouldnt do that. nah, it was just a scene so that vasco could introduce jay again and be like "hey guys jay is actually relevant to the story and he's a nice person, just so you guys dont forget that he's still there! and also ignore this deus ex machina ass solution to a conflict that could've been a really interesting character study!!"

so yeah. that's basically it. in conclusion, i think sally park is a HUGE missed opportunity for ptj to finally write a good female character. kind, compassionate, charismatic, smart, sally's got it all. however, just because she is a soft character doesn't mean that she's a pushover and she held tremendous power and authority because of everything she did for her family. however, ptj decides to do nothing with her and turn her into an eli enabler and a warren love interest instead, ignoring her leadership skills and influence.

and once again, no hate to eli, warren, jerry, jay, or any of the other character i just shat on to make a point!! i like all of them, but i just think that sally's character assassination to allow them to shine was an infuriating decision on ptj's part

Highlights of Ep 480

(SPOILER ALERT)

Gun rejected Goo's offer of leaving Charles, by saying that he already sided (in his words: "drank a cup") with someone else. But he told Goo that he still drank the sake for Goo as a friend, even though he didn't like alcohol. Goo told Gun that from then on they were sworn enemies.

Eli and Hudson had an offstage fight that again ended in Hudson's defeat. Hudson swore that he would rise again for the 4th time because he promised Taesoo that he would defeat Eli.

Eli told Hudson flat outright that he wouldn't apologize for what he did in Ansan. He had to protect his family just like Hudson did everything to protect his. He knew that Hudson only joined Allied to get revenge but so be it.

Hudson then insisted on following Eli at Hostel HQ but was surprised that Eli even asked him if he had a place to stay, and that the Hostel kids were nice to him and even teased him. Warren even gave him a dishwashing shift, and Sally eventually even left a note welcoming him to the house.

Gyeol (the fake doctor) went missing since after 1A fight along with Hangyeol (Hulk). Apparently Charles came to 1A discreetly at night by causing a blackout (he either hit or send someone to hit the area transformer).

Eugene guessed that it must have been Charles who abducted those two, and as Mandeok wondered why, Eugene explained to him that Jinyoung probably knew something about Charles that the nefarious CEO wanted to hide.

In a flashback, Charles tortured Gyeol to find out about Jinyoung and whether Jinyoung told Gyeol anything. Gyeol really had no idea, but Charles didn't believe him and keep torturing him.

Hangyeol the Hulk (also in the flashback) defended his brother in tears. It turns out that he still remembered and loved his brother, even though Gyeol turned him into a monster.

Then Charles took the two of them out of the 1A facility after defeating Hangyeol, ensuring (and sneering) that no evidence would be left behind.

Out of nowhere, James called Eugene about a video evidence that Charles left behind that James recorded, as Charles left the facility.

James told Eugene that he had been tailing Charles since the day Charles killed Bakgoo and Jichang in Chungcheong-do. Plus, now the video of the kidnapping of a minor (Gyeol) existed. He asked (challenged?) Eugene to make sure the evidence didn't disappear and to make it tenfold.

Eugene agreed with James's plan.

warren chae + ryuhei kuroda sfw + nsfw crushing/relationship hcs ? thank u !

Warren Chae and Ryuhei Kuroda NSFW Headcanons!

(A/N) I’m just splitting this request into two. Here’s the link to the SFW crushing and relationship headcanons here. 

Minors don’t interact!

Warren Chae 

He’s a pretty vanilla guy who’d just be into cowgirl and missionary.

He just loves being able to make deep eye contact with you and just intimate time together.

When it comes to his sex drive, it’s higher than he wants to admit. So he’ll want it a few times a week, but probably won’t actually act upon it.

His pace is a lot slower though, he’d rather just be in the moment instead of being in a rush to come. But at the same time, he can also be pretty fast too.

Warren does like doing quickies every now and then. He works a ton and sometimes he heads home in between and just wants nothing more, but a quick session.

There’s a bit of a submissive side to him, and he’d be down for you to dominate him at times.

Warren’s got a nice ass, nothing more needs to be said.

He’s not a risk taker, but he has a semi public sex fantasy.

Ryuhei Kuroda

Ryuhei’s very heavy on the dirty talk.

He’s also the type to really tease his partner. Like circling around any part of your body with his hands.

Because of Ryuhei’s struggle to get hard, sex is definitely gonna be not as often as the two of you would like it. But that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be down to orally pleasure you.

Ryuhei would definitely have a thing for grabbing your ass (only if you’re okay with it). Like you’d be in the kitchen, and he’d come up behind and grab your ass as he converses with you.

He’d be into fucking you from behind while you wear his jacket. It’d give him a pretty huge ego boost.

There’s a vulnerable side to him though. Although he might talk dirty and say horny things, he’s got a pretty passionate side to him where he’ll open up to you after sex.

Heavy on consent. He always makes sure to check up in the middle that you’re ok.

His favorite thing to do is to fuck you behind and have your arms restrained. Whether it be him using his hands or him using handcuffs.

Ryuhei owns a few dildos just to make up for the times he can’t get hard.
