#god that hurt

[doublel27]

Okay I will not be over this breakup any time soon. I saw it coming the second Moo called Kang and he was sitting in the restaurant infused with so much blue and he was awkward on the phone and then finding out why he was there…Moo’s mom is on my shit list.

However, I’m really pleased with how the break up went overall and that they broke our hearts in Ep 10 to give us enough runway to really fix it.

In this episode they gave us enough space to see that Moo wasn’t going to give up on either of his dreams. He wants both and he will do what it takes to have them. Moo was also terrible at being secretive. For all of his spy movie expertise, it was very clear he couldn’t actually maintain secrecy. He’s out here using a hat as cover to kiss Kang and hugging him in the middle of cinema hallways.

We also got enough space to see Kang struggling with sharing Moo with the world and having to lie about what he and Moo are to each other. Through their dating montage we saw Kang overhearing fans outside the condo talking about possibly catching Moo with a potential partner and being scandalized by it. He also looked incredibly lonely at parts as Moo would get asked for pictures while Moo kept insisting that he wasn’t that famous and as his numbers continue to grow.

And then we got Moo getting in trouble at rehearsal contrasted with Moo’s mom calling Kang to meet her to tell him what’s happening. And the reality is they’re both so honest and they hate lying about this and Moo definitely thinks it’s stupid. He’s understandably angered by the whole thing even if he chose to lie. The use of our grumpy fellow idol doesn’t surprise me at all in this.

Kang just wants Moo to reach his dreams. And it’s so effective to have Moo’s mom be the one to talk to Kang because she is seemingly finally supporting his dreams of being an idol and that was something that Kang knows hurt Moo in the past. It’s part of what Kang uses in the breakup, about how Moo has more than just Kang now who love and support him. It’s not like how it was when it was just them, and oh some of Kang’s own self esteem bits are on display as he insists there’s more than just him and he can’t be more than Moo’s dreams and Moo’s dreams can’t be worthless without kang. They have to have value.

And then you contrast it with Moo who is holding on to the promise that Kang wouldn’t let go of his hand. He knows how much of his current success is due to meeting this man who supports him and loves him and wants what’s best for him even if it means making boundaries that Moo doesn’t want to follow. And he asks to figure this out together, to find a solution, to not have to make an impossible choice…and Kang chooses for him.

The way there’s still nothing dishonest in the breakup: they’re both very clear that they’re still in love. Kang doesn’t lie and actually points out that Moo’s honesty about his emotions is one of his best traits and Kang can’t continue to ask him to be a liar. Kang remains honest that he’s going to keep watching and supporting and loving Moo. He wants to see Moo have his own concerts and write new songs.

Even at the beginning of the train car scene when Moo asks whose boyfriend Kang is, Kang says he’s Moo’s boyfriend…only moo’s (which like looking at you show sneaking that in there. I caught it.)

Kang leaves Moo with a last meal and proceeds to their cinema date spot and murder all of us by blocking Moo’s number. I understand why. He loves Moo and he’s terrible at resisting Moo when Moo chases because Moo is so honest and true and clear. And we are left sobbing with Moo on the train and on the steps of the station.

Then part 4 opens and it’s a year later! What a jump scare! And I am glad they are giving the time and space to contrast what has been happening for Moo and Kang in this year. We know Moo has debuted and is in a group. We know Kang is still following his dreams of art and is even making fan stickers of Moo. Still supporting him from afar.

And Moo is clearly determined to hold on to Kang’s promise that they can have love and their dreams.

Having two episodes for them to figure out how to either balance their dreams with the relationship or for Moo to reevaluate his dreams after having achieved it for a year…or potentially being Moo and making a large grand gesture that also admits that while he hasn’t been in a relationship officially, it’s still a lie that he saves all of his love for his fans because a large part of it will always be Kang’s, even if they’re not officially together…which I think some people may need to hear.

All in all, I am still really hopeful for the next two episodes. My boys didn’t act out of character and they were facing this difficulty since the beginning and I am grateful for the amount of runway to overcome it.

The hospital BTS shot still haunts me though.

I stayed awake for a fic. Worse of all, it's a NAOYA FIC. but here's a pretty sight I got to see!

I actually had to sneak to the top floor or else everybody else would wake up. I spilled hot coffee on my hand while I was doing so. Ouch.

Okay bye I have to write now.

NOOOO readers family finding them but reader just doesn’t remember a single thing 😭😭😭 ICANT I M GONNA CRY

i’m gonna make it worse >:3

imagine Reader happens to be in the village, probably with Bela and Cassandra, helping them settle something with Duke or whatever. either way, they’re in the village

these strange people they’ve never seen before shout something at them, a name they don’t recognize. still, it gets their attention, and they pause to look at the mother and her child looking directly at them

they don’t know these people, but they feel a sense of… familiarity?? their emotions are weird, though, so they brush it off and try to continue

by now, Cassandra has her hand on their back as she keeps an eye on these strange people. Bela stands to their other side, her arms crossed over her chest and the sickle at her hip on full display

that doesn’t deter these people. the younger one shouts again, that same name, and then asks, “it’s us, can’t you see?”

Reader has no idea who these people are. the mother steps forward, trying to reach for them-

both Bela and Cassandra step in front as Reader flinches back. both draw their sickles and bare their teeth, their flies buzzing around their shoulders. they really have no reason to be afraid, but someone knowing who they are while they have no idea who the other person is has never been a good sign

a few villagers have to quickly explain who these three are and why you should never make any sudden moves toward them

Reader peeks out from behind Bela’s shoulder to try and recognize these people. their mind reaches out and they see themself in their memories - or, rather, who they think is them. their sense of self is pretty fucked up and they have a hard time recognizing themself

in the end, they just allow Cassandra to guide them back to the castle with an arm around their waist as Bela follows behind them, still buzzing. they tell the Dimitrescus they have no idea who those people are, but why did the tears on their faces cause pain to spark in their chest?

FUCK. You know what hits hard. Luke being the first words of comfort Percy hears at camp. Sure, Chiron was with him and led him around camp, but their conversation felt more like losing hope for Percy. And then he get to Hermes' cabin and he is so ready for a fight, but instead he gets a warm welcome from Luke. AND THAT FUCKING HURTS OK.

Scary Sunset.

I'm concepting things way outta order in this story, but I'm sure you can piece things together. Context is for a storybeat where, after defeating and capturing Adagio (thus having all three sirens in her possession), Sunset enacts her revenge plot to release the sirens on Canterlot as Thea discovers she's been manipulated. In a confrontation, the two scuffle and fight over the siren orbs while Sunset struggles with her conflicting wants and emotions.
