Nicola's Easter Eggs from This Weekend/Week (and What it Could All Mean)

First, I am going to list the most important pieces of information (imo) that N posted on her IG grid or stories this weekend/week (and I will put the date it was posted- I'm on PST so some of these MIGHT have been posted on a different date for N):

Posted on N's stories on Friday, 8/9/24

Posted on N's grid on Saturday, 8/10/24

Posted on N's stories on Sunday, 8/11/24

This song was posted on N's stories on Tuesday, 8/13/24

Also, I want to stress I've been DEEP in delulu this weekend/week over all this because it's made me soo excited, but I analyzed the figure in the sunglasses from her milk tshirt pic for such a long time last night, and I swear... I am like 98% certain I see L's VERY distinct tattoo on the person in the sunglasses (and it's totally in the correct placement). I'll put the pic below. It helps if you zoom in a little bit. And after the song that she posted today, I am 99% certain at this point that L took that photo of her in the tshirt 😭😭😭 I could be wrong about the tattoo lol, BUT I still am almost certain that's him based on the arms!

What Could This All Mean??

I feel like we all have seen the theories at this point around all of these posts/stories, and the MANY Easter Eggs they all contain regarding L OR certain people adjacent to L. Therefore, I am not going to talk about all of the Easter Eggs and what they might be implying. This is what I will say:

If all of this content had not been released publicly in such a short period of time, I don't think I would really have paid that much attention to it, or have been THIS excited. However, it is precisely because N (who is VERY intentional on SM) posted ALL OF THIS in such a short period of time, knowing very well how the fandom would be interpreting it and leaving TONS of Easter Eggs that she's with L, that makes me fairly confident that there has been a VERY positive shift between L/N.

Could I be wrong? Yes. However, the song that she posted today (which I have ALWAYS loved btw 😍), clarified to me that everything she has posted since Friday wasn't just random. That song is a BIG statement! We know that N communicates through music, and this song's lyrics don't leave a lot to interpretation. It is a very sweet and happy love song! Now, could this song be about someone else, or could she just have liked the song and wanted to post it? Yes. But after EVERYTHING she posted on IG since Friday, NOBODY can convince me this song isn't about L!

I don't know what this EXACTLY means right now BTS for ALL parties involved in this situation. However, if L was going to officially acknowledge A as his girlfriend in the near future, would N have posted all of this content in such a short period of time that is very obviously related to L in the fandom? Absolutely not. I think (and a LOT all people might not agree with me on this) that this was an official acknowledgment to the fandom, specifically, that her and L are together currently and happily in love 😭😭😭 I still feel like the situation is probably a little complicated BTS, but something in my gut, based on all this public content the last few days from N, makes me feel like something BIG has changed between her and L, and N therefore feels more comfortable and confident with sharing this type of content with the fandom (and the public). I don't believe that we will get a lot of this type of content from L for a while (for LOTS of different reasons that I think are totally understandable), BUT we might get a couple of little crumbs from him (I'm thinking maybeee through songs). I also don't think they are in any place yet to go officially public, but I DO think that N will continue posting content like this if my theories are true 👀 I also feel like they may make a public announcement sooner than we expected based off of everything from the last couple of days. I have said this before, but I believe that both L/N are aware that this relationship would get serious pretty quickly if they were able to get on the same page. And I think they have 😭😍

Does this mean that L/A are done? I think so. Will we still see some material from A related to L? Maybe. I wouldn't rule that out. I get the sense though, and I have been feeling like this for a while, that L/A really haven't been doing that well in their relationship for a long time based on all the evidence that we now have.

A lot of people might not agree with all of my thoughts here, but I feel pretty confident that the song N posted today is a statement to the public, particularly the fandom, about her feelings currently for L. And it just makes my heart really happy 😍😍😍

Ok but favorite part of this ep?

When Guwon noticed that the song the killer played had become a truma trigger for Dohee so he danced with her to that song so that he could make a happy memory for Dohee that overshadowed the scary one

FREEEEEEEESIAAAAAAA

Freesia is a song from Guilty Gear XRD. But it could have been released in Strive and still hit just as fucking hard. That's because it's applicable to multiple aspects of the story.

Sol Badguy is one of the most powerful characters in the GG universe. At least, he's in the top 10 (probably??). Despite that, he's a grown man who is a grief-stricken mess and has questionable direction to his life.

In my opinion, this song is best interpreted as coming from Frederick. Not Sol, the Badass god-like gear that has saved the world on several occasions. Frederick Bulsara, the man that lost everything important to him.

The start of Freesia is someone reaching out to Frederick. Because really? Frederick does a lot of brooding and self-isolation. He wouldn't reach out to someone otherwise. His head isn't in the clouds, it's in space, drifting aimlessly amongst the stars.

But everything is fine, Frederick says. There's enough air for at least 2 people where he's at, and he's alone. So everything is ok. Frederick, or more accurately, Sol, has everything he needs. He's achieved great feats normal humans only could dream of achieving. He's reached greater heights than anyone ever has, and yet? Something is still missing.

There's enough air for 2 people up there. Boundless information. Wisdom beyond that of any normal human. But there's enough air for 2 people. And he knows why, but he can't bring himself to say it.

"The whole world is kind to me"

Yes, Sol has reason to be happy. Everyone has rewarded him for saving the world. Everyone appreciates what he has done in some way, and every day brings fresh start. The world has been ushered into a new era of peace; but there's someone missing. But Frederick can't bring himself to tell anyone what it is.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry..."

It'd be ungrateful for him to imply something was missing, or that something could be wrong. Sol apologizes, but laments his cowardice.

This next portion feels more like Frederick reaching out, or at least telling someone in passing about how miserable he is:

"The world may crumble down with just one piece missing"

Now, he is (to the best of his ability) trying to be genuine and honest about how life's trials have affected him. Frederick is saying that if he can't get that one thing back, if he can't reach his goals, why continue? Without this thing he's been pursuing for DECADES, actually being obtainable, his life has no purpose. He's just a shell of a man looking for comfort in the past.

This is where the dam breaks. This is where Frederick and Sol's lives converge into one. Frederick Bulsara is Sol Badguy and vice versa. He can't pretend that his reasons for fighting and living don't come from a place of loss and pain. He's not just bounty hunting for money, not just traveling the world because he can. His emotional strength isn't there because he's fixed all of his problems. His experiences have made him physically stronger, but mentally? He's exhausted and desperate for rest. Everything he has done up to this point has been for Aria Hale. But if she's gone, everything falls apart. There is no point.

That's why the song is named Freesia. A Freesia is a flower from South Africa that is commonly seen at weddings. They typically convey deep trust, friendship, thoughtfulness and sometimes purity.

And then the line hits. You know the one.

This moment in the song is an outburst of love, both platonic and romantic. This is the moment where Sol can't hide that he's still Frederick. He's still human. And damn it, he still loves that woman-- as Aria or Jack-O.

"Here I am" is a resignation. He tried ignoring the emotions building up inside of him for so long, neglected his humanity, acted as nothing but a weapon for so long, and he is tired. The mask falls off. He is finally allowing himself to be vulnerable and honest with the world.

Sol isn't proud of it.

He shouldn't have isolated himself for so long.

He shouldn't have lied about his emotions.

He shouldn't have pushed so many kind people away.

If he had done those things, maybe there would be less blood on his hands. Maybe he would have lived a more normal life.

But he knows that's not true. Aria meant too much to him. Sol would still miss her as desperately, even if he continued down a different path.

Yes, he had reasons to feel the things he felt. But at the same time, there were also so many people willing to help him start again. and he sees it now, as clear as day. Aria had been his world for so long. But he was missing so many beautiful things because of it. Frederick had spent so much time trying to save Aria that he became single minded in his endeavor. It led him to become isolated. It kept him from living his own life and that's what Aria wanted for him so badly. She didn't want to weigh on his mind, she wanted the happy memories of them to help Frederick continue living.

So the apologies tumble out again for the last time.

Frederick was surrounded by, and floating through galaxies. Worlds of people surrounded him and yet everything was touch and go. A passing greeting. A quick handshake. Knowing glances. He had recognition, respect, power, and yet, when the fight was over? Sol would leave it all behind again and move back to Aria. But that isn't what she would have wanted.

Reading through the lyrics, I initially thought Frederick was saying that he couldn't protect or save Aria, and that was what the final line meant. But I believe that's not the whole message. Frederick wasn't able to prove himself to Aria: Sol didn't keep living on like she wanted him to. He forgot her final wishes in his grief, and for the first time, he sees that. Now, finally, Frederick is ready to fulfill them.

ik i said I'd write a sugar rush ride but twilight started playing and I can't handle listening to the song without being in an angsty mood so.

It's been one month, two week, and five days since it happened. But Toya remembers it just like it was yesterday.

................................................

"Toya, I.. I'm sorry. I just can't do this anymore. My parents want me to have a good job and they say I need to concentrate on schoolwork. Plus, I don't feel the spark anymore." Your words echoed in his head. You meant everything to Toya. And he thought he meant everything to you.

He remembers your first kiss. It was at the arcade he loved to go to. Now he can't go to thar arcade without thinking about the way you smiled softly before kissing him.

Toya wonders if you regret the break up. He sees the way you laugh with your friends the same way you used to laugh with him. But now, you two are just strangers.

The day after the break up, Toya didn't eat anything for a day. His sleep schedule worsened.

"I hope you can understand, Toya."

"..." He was speechless. "I-" He inhaled sharply. You looked at him as if it was a mutual feeling, but he was still enamored by you. "I understand, y/n. I wish you the best." Toya's face appeared emotionless, yet understanding. He walked away trying to hide the pain in his heart.

Today, Toya looks from his window. The twilight is so beautiful. You would've told him that on one of your late night outings. He looks at the picture he has framed of you and him, before asking,

"Is there no pretty happy ending?"

guess who just finished Hannibal……….

⠀⠀took my Heart 2 The Limit

[whenthegoldrays]

TOP TEN CHEONGCHAN MOMENTS (according to me)

10. “We live in different worlds”

I cried so hard with this scene, with Yichan being worried about Cheong-ah and her pushing him away while he tries so hard! “Music is something you feel with your eyes, mind, and heart” is so achingly beautiful.

9. “I can’t sparkle like you”

The prelude to number 10, another heartbreaking scene where Yichan is so obviously falling for her but she only feels like the same pitied, rejected girl. It hurts but it’s so good!

8. The basement scene

Okay, enough pain! This scene is simply peak comedy to me and I love how you can almost see her heartbeat speeding up as she realizes she’s face to face with her crush. Also the way he tries to help her / make her laugh / cheer her up in all the ways he can is adorable.

7. Suds

The cutest scene ever!! Just domestic coziness, a moment of warm sun and joy in the middle of the hard times.

6. “Do you like me?”

Maybe I’m extra attached to this scene because it was my first introduction ever to this show, but it’s just so good! Cheong-ah being so brave and honest about her feelings for him, and the falling backwards!! Perfection in twenty seconds.

5. The alley scene

I think this was the moment she truly knew he liked her. The glance they share! The way he defends her! Even after he’s gotten the harassers away from Cheong-ah and she can’t hear them smack talking her, Yichan can and he doesn’t stand for it! Plus, it’s a perfect redemption for when he hurt her feelings back when he didn’t know she was deaf.

4. Viva La Vida

Such a cute little bonding moment for them, where she can bring him into her world a little by showing him her interests and teach him some sign language now that she’s decided to really learn it! And the way she inspires him with her motto is so <3

3. “We’re friends from now on”

When he tells her to get better, notices her smile, calls her name! The butterflies! The sweetness! And he remembers that Eun Gyeol mentioned her, and instead of it scaring him off, he asks about it and gives it a chance! (I refuse to believe he wasn’t just a liiittle smitten with her already)

2. “This is for you and only you”

Listen. Listen to me. He learned an entire song in sign language. For her. He was going to perform it in front of everyone but since it didn’t work out, he says “then I’m doing it just for her.” And that is the moment. The oh. The biggest expression of love anyone had ever shown her. How could she not show her love in return?

1. “A shining voice”

*wipes tears from my eyes* firstly, the attention Cheong-ah has paid to Yichan up to this point to be able to give him a fitting name. Secondly, how the restless, loud Yichan is completely calm and softened while sitting with her and talking with her. Third (!!!) the parallel to how he fell in love with her voice (her sign language) in the original timeline. Here, she loves his voice, even if she can’t hear it. She can feel it! And finally how Cheong-ah doing this for him fills him with such an overwhelming love for her that he kisses her. We can all pack it up, romance peaked in this park in June of 1995.
