Moving (무빙) K-drama ep 1-15, thoughts

[ SPOILER FREE ]

I'm not the kind of person who likes superhero stuff because I find that it follows a formula that doesn't focus very much on my favorite thing: Character Development. AND it is about as far away from my favorite genre: Slice-of-life that it can get.

But Moving (무빙) is different!

First a side note: A while back there was a tumblr post about how much it would be fun to make a show/fic about captain america getting a new dog (or something like that) and I remember thinking "WOW if superhero movies/dramas were more like this, I'd be 100% game." (if you know that post, send it to me??)

The creators of Moving took NOTES y'all.

Yes, it's gritty, has a lot of violent action scenes (I'm a fast forwarder don't @ me ;-) and an over-arching villain plot but it's so much more than that!

Moving focuses on the humanity of dealing with super powers, growing up with them, having to hide your talents while not being 100% isolated from friends and family. The Trauma, The Comfort Healing. It's freakin' TOUCHING ok? I'm in love with literally every couple, and every person on their own has things to overcome and room to grow. There's so much softness and love and friendship-- I just haven't seen a drama recently that has me caring about every single person??

Now, we are at episode 15 tho.

This is where I get nervous because if a kdrama is going to make a left turn off a cliff, it happens right about now. The last quarter is where the writers decide we need way more action and villain than we need all of the things that make Moving special (think about how many dramas you've seen where all of a sudden there is a stalker plotline, or a murder, or a kidnapping at the very end for no reason at all?).

I'm just anxious that my 10/10 drama is going to fall apart even though so far it's like, perfect? But fingers crossed!!

Moving: FIGHTING! (but like in a slice-of-life way, not in an actual fighting way :P )

max and i are closing in on launching [redacted sports rpf charity fest] and i am once again pondering how do i write "experience with writing form emails and manipulating google forms in ways no one has dreamed of" in a cover letter without saying "i did it for the rpf grind"...like there's no way unless everyone in this microsoft teams meeting gets really cool about a bunch of stuff really quickly. you know

AU where instead of Mario and Luigi being in the killing game it’s Wario and Waluigi

Waluigi still solves all the murders but with more morally questionable methods and loopholes to cheat the killing game (like the lying thing from DRV3 I forgot what the game specifically called it there) Miku finds this both annoying and a fun little teaching moment in case she ever does more killing games.

Ok that does sound like a hilarious AU idea. Not just in terms of two chaotic fellas, but could you imagine how awkward it'll be for Wario when he realises one of his employees (cough cough Ashley) is in the same killing game as him. Oh and him also butting heads with Krabs would be funny too.

As for what you said, Waluigi committing perjuries during trials would certainly be in character for him, and to use them to his advantage would provide him with a pretty cool skill. It makes me wonder if he'd be able to catch a liar from a mile away (takes'a one to know'a one).

I have finally FINALLY got up to the dream scene at the start of the last mabelcorn in kmky and everything is flowing nicely finally, and the scenes and characterisation all are smooth and make sense and I am no longer going over the same establishing scenes like a pedant trying to make them perfect. SUCCESS!

Just have to knock out these next few bits then it's onto unicorn beatdowns, funny hats, pizza parties and loophole heists!

do you ever feel casually suicidal? like you're not depressed or anything you're doing fine but also it feels like a convenient option

i learned the grade for my phd thesis today (it's v good! i'm v happy!) & my supervisor took that as occasion to sit down with me and talk about The Future for a bit, and she clearly cares and i'm thankful for her, but the sheer ivory tower out-of-touch-ness of academics will never stop baffling me. like they'll ask you about your new job (admin & public service), and you tell them you're enjoying it and loving all the mental space it's freed up, and they'll be like cool! but you are looking for something better, right?

and it's like. no. i'm really super not. i understand that professors look down on this kind of work, which is one thing, they're snobs, i can't change that. but to not take someone's word for it when they say they find their job fulfilling and rewarding is kind of. ungenerous? not to mention condescending? like please don't call a less mentally taxing job a "waste of potential" when it was working in academia that stopped me from producing literally any writing i cared about or felt proud of for nearly four years

at what point could you fall asleep to hushed giggles and quiet conversations instead of the usual silence?

(was it when you began to trust them?)

there are things that you don't do for a year or more and pick up just right where you left off and these days i fear loving you might be one of them
