And yet he never did either for some reason. He’s telling Ju-do “if you were not content with the way he ruled, why didn’t you talk to him?”. So was Hak actually content with the way Il ruled, while the country was falling apart? He knew but didn’t care enough to confront Il? Or did he not understand that the country was barely making it? Either way it doesn’t show him in the best light. He was incredibly carefree back then, maybe he was simply waiting for someone else to bring up this topic instead of him. I hope we’ll get pov from Hak on this someday.

Yeah! Seriously I don't get Hak. Dude was so passive & indifferent during the whole time of his generalship but did absolutely nothing! But it's hilarious that he blames Soo-Won for all.

"Why didn't you see the potential of the princess!!??" as if he has seen them while he spent 24/7 w Yona. Why did he treated Yona as a pampered spoiled princess then?

"If he had problems w how Il ruled, why didn't he talked w him?!!" Why was he silent then? Unlike Soo-Won who was nothing more than a member of the royal family (& who wasn't even allowed to show his skills in public (referring to the annual tournament), Hak was a general who could easily voice up against Il's ruling, but he didn't. Or maybe he was just OK w ppl dying & the country getting weaker as long as his beloved princess & her daddy lives happily inside the castle.

In this regard, he's similar to Il who just watch & did nothing thinking gods will tke care of them for him.

I agree and it still baffles me tbh. Did Hak really care so little about Soo-won’s opinion, when it concerned such an important life decision? Choosing a person that you’ll build a whole life with? Soo-won never said he loved her or showed it (and I personally don’t think he ever loved her like that), yet Hak insisted that he must marry her. Incredible. Or did Hak think that Yona was so irresistible that of course Soo-won must love her back?

Agreed.

What's Hak actually if we remove Yona from the equation? Compared to Yona, how much he actually cared for Soo-Won?? If he were to chose between Yona & Soo-Won, whom had he chosen? Ig we know the answer...

I'd love to see him getting some character development outside of Yona shell before the end of the manga

Hero vs Villain

The Antagonist Soo-won in the manga is the "I'll save the world for you" type of guy. Basically every hero ever. He loved his dad, so he became the king who saved the Kingdom just as his dad wanted him to.

The main protagonist Hak on the other hand is the "I'll burn the word down to save her" type guy. Classis villain. He killed anyone trying to harm Yona to save her life on the day of the regicide. He would kill anything and anyone for Yona.

Yet, we love Hak and Yona, cheered for their growth and development and was appalled by Soo won's betrayal. I just adore how Mizuho Kusanagi plays with perspective. Akatsuki no Yona was a villains perspective all along. From the beginning, she was the spoilt princess of a selfish king leading a kingdom to ruin. Hak knew this, being a generals son, he was very aware how how things were outside the castle but he didn't care, if it meant Yona would be happy.

SMTM11 Diss Battle Ep.7 Part 1

Background for people who may not have seen the episode yet or aren't watching: This year there's 3 rounds. 2 1v1 rounds and then a 3rd and final 4v4, or team, battle. The producer's can be dissed too (I'mm 1000% sure this rule was EXPLICITLY included was just so that QM could say something to Justhis lol. But never forget that Mino did it first on SMTM4 without even being told he could).

So Team Grillz (Groovy Room x Lil Boi) will face Team Slay (Slom x Jay). The solo battles are: Noh Yunha vs Youngji & Xinsayne vs Blase

Team Quiolin (The Quiett x LeellaMarz) will face Team R-Jus (R.Tee x Justhis). The solo battles are NSW Yoon vs Khan & Don Malik vs QM.

This post won't include the Team Quiolin vs Team R-Jus battles yet!

Diss Battle (Grillz vs Slay) Commentary:

Gyujeong was making some smart ass remarks at the beginning! We would've had to fight LOL. He was hella mean.

As for the Youngji battle: Her main line to me was that Yunha's peak is battling her. Basically that's all he'll ever be known for.

Noh Yunha's punchlines didn't seem like they were landing well. There was multiple punchlines of Youngji's were it seemed like the crowd was like "ohhhhhh". The Layone one was the best imo and the crowd really reacted to it. He said something like "You'll never be the winner of SMTM11 just like you couldn't win Layone" or something similar. I liked when he said "Even if Youngji loses this battle, one of you (meaning: someone else on the team) is going home". I thought Yunha started off weak but ended stronger. He ended up winning. I think it was the Layone diss that sealed it.

Jay said during his interview before the winner was announced "Its Youngji so I think she can count on her popularity for votes" was SOOO infuriating. Because yes, he's right. But I find it SOOO annoying when people vote based on their faves instead of who they genuinely think did better. I don't think fans can complain about "connections hip-hop" if they are only gonna hype up artists who they already are fans of regardless of who really did better. It's giving "kpop fans who mass stream and buy bigger artists even when it's a trash song/comeback" vibes. (Just for clarity. I'm NOT upset with Jay here. I'm upset at the people who do that type of behavior).

Xinsayne says at thebeginning "We only held LA preliminaries this year but I heard we have a British contestant" (referring to Blase) and I literally LOL'd (quietly though cause it's after 2AM right now). He also called him Coogie's lackey. Xinsayne had some REALLY good insults but a lot of them didn't seem to land with the live crowd. The "Movin' & Movin'" reference (ties back to being Coogie's lackey) was a good one.

It turns out that people weren't able to catch Xinsayne's disses cause he (I'm guessing) said it to fast. Based on what the other teams backstage were saying. So unfortunate.

Anyway, Xinsayne made a diss about Blase's name at the end and he ended up apologizing right on the spot. Blase was named by his granddad so that's why LOL.

Blase: Blase started off strong. Called Polodared (eliminated contestant from Team Grillz on the prior episode) while he was in the crowd (I think it might've been pre-recorded and Polo was just playing along) and Goney (another former member of Team Grillz). Polo said "Isn't that sokodomo's lackey?" when asked if he knew info about Xinsayne. Goney said basically "I don't know him". The point was that he's basically unknown and in Sokodomo's shadow.

Blase starts off with a chorus about "Sokodomo's lackey" but he also calls Xinsayne "sokodomo's d**k rider" in that same chorus. I was like "Damn, Xinsyane gotta take that apology back now" lol. That one was STRONG.

Also, Blase had a line about how his real name is "YongJoon" and so it's dangerous and he shouldn't drive. This is a reference to No:el and his drunk driving incident. No:el was mad a Blase when it aired (don't know if they squashed it or not privately by now though). I'd have been mad too tbh. Blase ATE him up with that one lol. Other than that I don't remember much about Blase's diss.

Blase ended up winning. IDK who it would have went to if Xinsayne's lyrics were more audible. Maybe still Blase though because the chorus was pretty strong.

Grillz is up 2-0 at this point.

Finally the team battle: Youngji says in a pretend conversation with Jambino "They live in Korea but say 'Gang Gang' all day" LOL. Then a little later Toigo pulls out this doraemon character but that character is a meme in Korea because he looks like their delinquents (he has a leather pouch and sleeve tattoos. They gave Fleeky bang a leather pouch to carry). The character did look like Fleek Bang tbh LOL. I don't feel like the team overall had that many good/interesting disses though. Toigo was just loud and performance was energetic. It was a good performances more than a good diss imo. They mostly focused on Fleeky Bang which was their whole point.

The one line they said to Chillin Homie was that they are glad he is in good health. It's a sneaky diss to him leaving SMTM9 early for mental health as well as other...episodes...he had after the show. "Healthy Chillin Homie" (건강한질린호미 was the phrase Toigo chanted).

Team Grillz starts their diss. My favorite lyrics was when Chillin Homie told Toigo "Don't wear your hat like that (aka the way Toigo is wearing it), wear it like this (aka the way Chillin Homie is wearing it)". Homie's lyrics overall were kinda mean lol

Then they basically said they don't know who Jambino even is when they were listing off all the members to diss them. They called him "Jamjari" which is Korean is "Dragonfly" but it has the same first character as Jambino. Overall, Team Grillz diss was MEAN! They had a lot of mean disses. They weren't super witty imo but they were just MEAN. Which is exactly what I like to see in the diss battle.

However, Fleeky Bang fucked up his lyrics. IT was going soooo good but he messed up.

So in the end, Team Slay ended up winning the round but they won't that round so overwhelmingly that Team Slay ened up winning the whole thing but about 20 votes. I think Team Grillz had a chance to win. Their chorus was still really catchy and it was a good performance (not AS over the top as team Slay but I think their mean ass disses could have edged the performance element out).

At the end, Team Grillz had to eliminate someone. They naturally eliminated Fleeky Bang. He gave a sad version of his trending line "gang gang gang".

I'm gonna go watch the R.Jus vs Quiolin battle after I go eat (it's about 2:39 AM here and I haven't eaten dinner yet. I'm gonna go make a burger and I'll brb).

[marciego]

001- Fandom ofc Violetta,lol

002- Dieleon

003-Federico

let's go hell yeah!! thank you <33 this was long as hell so putting it under the cut but!! that was so fun

001 | violetta

Favorite character:

leon (everyone pretends to be surprised)

Least Favorite character:

tomas (everyone pretends to be surprised)

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon):

leonetta, marciego, jadangie (so far everyone pretends to be surprised), fedemila and the last one is actually giving me a lot of trouble because i'm not sure if i could choose between dieleon and natila? girl if i'm being honest i think i have to go with dieleon like i'm more invested in them you know, but natila pulls at a very specific part of my heart that makes me go....agwah...

Character I find most attractive:

jade hit me up babe

Character I would marry:

jade hit me up babe (now tbh if most of these characters proposed to me i would say yes but jade would probably be the only one i'd propose to myself)

Character I would be best friends with:

this one is surprisingly hard to come up with, i'd say naty and diego but i hope you know that if they were my besties i WOULD 100% fall for them both and it'd be ridiculous

A random thought:

the fact that diego, leon and ludmila never hung out just the three of them is biphobic actually

An unpopular opinion:

i talked about it recently so might as well say it here too, leonetta's amigos para siempre era had cute moments but it was unnecessary and went on for way too long, like at best they should have gotten back together in 03x60, at worst they shouldn't have done it for more than 4 episodes, the writers were just cowards and couldn't handle leonetta being happy for more than one episode

My Canon OTP:

leonetta my beloved (everyone pretends to be surprised)

My Non-canon OTP:

marciego my beloved (everyone pretends to be surprised)

Most Badass Character:

why is it that most of our characters are losers 😭😭 i genuinely cannot answer?? like ??? ? that's literally the state of my brain right now. i was tempted to give it to diego as a thank you for being our best antagonist but no that's not a badass that's just a bi clown, naty has her moments but idk i don't feel like it's enough to call her that, like i have genuinely no idea here

Most Epic Villain:

diego knew how to do it <3

Pairing I am not a fan of:

since it's "not a fan of" and not "pairing i absolutely despise with my whole heart" i'm going for a mild broduey/camila here

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another):

honestly i feel like we got pretty lucky overall in violetta in that regard, but yeah we don't talk about s3 vilu and while i will always love him no matter what, every day i mourn s1 leon

Favourite Friendship:

federico and vilu my babies!!! love them!!

Character I most identify with:

ok so i don't relate relate to that many characters, but like objectively i'd say probably naty and vilu, but on a spiritual level i feel very close to leon because i, too, wish i were somewhere else 95% of the time and Cannot Hide It

Character I wish I could be:

ok if we're talking "who would i take the place of in the show" i'd tell you fran, now if it's who i wish i could have the same personality as i would DIE to have leon's bitchiness and confidence and just generally you want to be what you find attractive right? so yeah, him

002 | dieleon

When I started shipping them:

heard diego tell leon vilu's shoe probably wasn't the right size for him and went "oh my these bitches gay!"

My thoughts:

they make me go :] i think they're neat and also very relatable because, like leon, i too would punch diego and then immediately kiss him, and, like diego, i too would try my goddamn best to make out with leon if i ever had that chance

What makes me happy about them:

they're so fucking ridiculous with their stupid rivalry that's just vaguely disguised flirting i love it SO MUCH it gives me life honestly

What makes me sad about them:

the lack of interactions in s3 like they couldn't just drop it like that it's too much you know

Things done in fanfic that annoys me:

ok so i don't really read dieleon fics but if i did i sure wouldn't read like, endgame dieleon fics? if that makes sense? or even fics where they're actually dating i think, like it's not that i don't see it happening in an au or something, it could be great, but it's not what i love about them so it wouldn't have much sense for me to read it you know

Things I look for in fanfic:

tension and belligerent attraction and unresolved feelings and what ifs that'll never get answered and hopefully some making out too, if it's set in s3 learning to be friends with all of this behind them that they know they will never get closure for but they can't really do anything about it either, yeah i do think the journey is more interesting than the destination with them

My wishlist:

gonna be completely honest here i have No Idea what i'm supposed to say here, i wish they kissed tho

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

ok i'm not even gonna answer to that y'all know lmao

My happily ever after for them:

so as i said i don't really see dieleon ever ending up with each other in the first place you know? so to me their happily ever after is finding some sort of peace with the what ifs and the what could've been because they found happiness with someone else, and as for them once the tension has subsided i really see them becoming great friends that can really still have that fake and friendly flirting but without whatever was there too you know. also i'm currently very slowly writing a dieleon fic exploring another side of their relationship i haven't really talked about here so stay tuned besties <33

003 | federico

How I feel about this character:

i could say a lot about him but every time he's on screen i just go WOOOO!!!!!

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character:

ludmila <3 that's really it i think, like i do think he had a very casual crush on leon and i think he was part of leon's bisexual journey too but i don't ship them at all you know. oh also felipe is 100% his ex but once again not a ship

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character:

once again fede and vilu my beloved

My unpopular opinion about this character:

i think out of all the non leon/tomas s1 guys that had a crush on vilu he was the one that made the most sense and if only for the "he had a crush on leonetta" thing i wouldn't change it even tho i'd make his behaviour towards her better

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

LET THE MAN HAVE HIS GIRLS TIME!!!! my diva deserved his sleepovers with the girls!!

Favorite friendship for this character:

i can and will put vilu twice

My crossover ship:

i don't really have one
