i’m not a “01x09 was agathario’s first kiss” truther because i think it’s so much more tragic if this is their first kiss in literally hundreds of years. aren’t you always more hungry after you’ve had a bite of food? isn’t water more appealing when you can already taste it on your tongue, from the thousands of time you’ve tasted it before? doesn’t it hurt all the more when it’s right in front of you, and you know what it’s like, you know you can satisfy your craving but— it’s just out of reach?

One man. Three personas. Each one a foil to the protagonist in a different way.

Okay so I got inspired by this post by @fandomfourever to take a look at some of the books on In-ho's desk in the room where Jun-ho looks for him in season 1. Here's a picture and I numbers the books which I looked up so you know what book I'm talking about

(also just fyi it's almost 5am where I live but I feel the need to make this post now instead of tomorrow, if there are any spelling mistakes in this post or something is worded weirdly, that's why)

So let's go!! First book:

So book number one is the one I'm most uncertain about. The book here is titled "René Magritte, l'empire des lumières" (empire of lights) and online I found this book with the same title but a different cover. You can even read or download it here if you want. But what I also found out is that "l'empire des lumières" is a series of 27 paintings that René Magritte made over the years and they're always of a landscape at night (often a house lit by a street lamp) while the sky in the background is a sunlit sky by day and In-ho seems to like this series a lot. We can assume that because he has both a small print of it taped to the desk and again a bigger print of it framed hanging on his wall

I'm pretty sure the framed one is this one but I can't be fully sure:

Second book:

Book number 2 is "Picasso, The Blue and Rose Periods". I have to admit I didn't find out anything specific about this book, I think it's just a book about Picasso's art. If I'm wrong please correct me. Also the picture of the book I put here isn't the same cover as the one on In-ho's desk but it should still be the same book

The third book is about Monet/his art and if I'm correct it's the one by Christoph Heinrich. Again I didn't look up too much information about this one because it's just an art book.

The fourth book is "Van Gogh, The Complete Paintings" by Ingo F. Walther and Rainer Metzger. Again art book about Vincent van Gogh's art

So for book number 5 I couldn't actually figure out which book specifically it is. From what I can read it's called "Campus Life" and I tried looking that up but there were multiple books with that title (one of them was gay tho sooo...). Also maybe that's just me but it does kinda look like it could also be a notebook?

Lastly book 6:

It's called "The Catcher in the Rye" by J. D. Salinger and it's a novel from 1951 and it's about a 17 year old boy looking back on three specific days from his past. You can find the description and what it's about online. I'm gonna read through that tomorrow I think

Bonus book but I couldn't find the exact one:

This one, which is on another shelf on In-ho's desk. It's probably an art book on Picasso

So what does this tell us about In-ho? He's an artist, or at least very interested in art and he specifically likes René Magritte's "l'empire des lumières" series so much that he has two prints and a book about it

something i have to stop doing is reading letterboxd reviews for movies that chemically altered something in my brain in the most meaningful way...

i saw Mickey 17, another astonishing film by Bong Joon Ho. i thought the message was so blatantly obvious, yet very well done in away that will appeal to these blockbuster bureaucrats whose head this message will go right over. it is so hard for me not to cry when i think of the last line in the movie, it felt like he was talking directly to me in that i too feel guilty for merely existing. he said something along the lines of, "i have to learn to stop feeling guilty, it's ok for me to be happy," and if that doesn't make just want to tear your hair out and cry and cry and cry then idek man, we are nottt the sameee. all i do now is speak in references to scenes in this movie, "its like that scene in mickey 17 where he told his clone what they did to him in the dining room and 18 asks, 'what do you do next?' and 17 says, 'i said thank you for dinner...'" that scene actually means so much to me, when 18 gets frustrated and so mad at 17 for being so passive and calling him a loser, but that was all 17 could say to get out of that room alive, like we get mad at ourselves all the time for being doormats to bureaucrats, we take for granted that we have been doing what we could to survive, acting another way could get you to loose you job, or, in 17's case, die. 17's speech at the end was so beautiful and moving, his guilt towards being the mickey standing there today opposed to any of his other clones, and knowing that there's nothing he can do about that and nothing he ever could do about that PAIRED with the fact that he ALSO blames himself for his mother's death while ALSO knowing that it wasn't his fault or his mother's fault IT WAS THE MANUFACTURER'S OF THE DAMN CAR!!!! if that isn't the most blatant callout to this hellhole we call a country then i don't know what the hell is. Bong Joon Ho is practically shouting at the top of his lungs about all this goddamn hipocracy and manipulation going on in american politics and all the people reviewing this movie seem to have absolutely missed the message completely, acting like it was an "if you blink you miss it," sort of detail, IT WAS THE LOUDEST GODDAMN METAPHOR SINCE IDK LIKE ANIMAL FARM???? DUDE!!!!! WHEN MARSHALL HAS THE FREUDIAN SLIP FROM ACCIDENTALLY CALLING THE "COMPANY" THE "CHURCH"????????? idek, it's like you can bring a horse to the water but you can't get it to take a long look at its reflection to realize the beast that it has become. goddamn.

one thing abt being disabled/chronically ill that some people don’t get is that sometimes body maintenance that ensures you have the absolute minimum amount of function can also be something that takes away a lot of control and autonomy. you can argue till the cows come home that making those decisions to try and help yourself (or realistically to try to make sure things aren’t worse than they already are) is something that exhibits control and autonomy and stuff, but they can be so limiting in practice because they’re things that take up so much time but have to be done to do anything else

I'm not dead. I'm just moving. Tomorrow. It's just about half an hour away but I'm gonna be in bed a lot because I'm achy and I need to get a treatment done so please, please, I am so sorry. If I owe you something, please go into my messages and send me the link. It's going to be a little while for me to get around to it, but I will eventually. If you just want to drop it... yeah you can tell me and I just won't answer. Cause... if you don't, I probably have a draft saved somewhere and I intend to answer. Even the ones I've had saved for years. Yes. I am that determined. But please be patient with me. I may put myself to a small limit a day. <3

Thanks. I love and appreciate all of you. If you just want to talk about ships or something you can also go "yo it's Valentine's Day coming up and I want a smooch" and you can also get that. Just...ask me now. Cause I still have Xmas asks. I'M SORRY. I'll reblog tomorrow for visibility. &lt;3
