⠀★ THE TRICKSTER 'FAMOUS' OFFICIAL MV

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀famous is hak jiwoon's debut japanese ep, released alongside the music video for the leading single & title track of the same name. a song centred around the trickster's rise to fame. this entire music video, as well as the translation of the song, eludes to the death of the saesang fan that got too close — which goes without saying that he had used their vocals for the track. the music video opens up with jiwoon tied up in a warehouse, having been tied up like his victim, laid completely bare and defenseless before the viewer.

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀the next shot cuts to jiwoon holding a diamond while singing the lyrics 'shall i turn everything i touch into diamonds, those eyes gazing at me, shall give you a pearl' a sick nod to the way jiwoon had gouged out their eyes, replacing them with his diamond cufflinks

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀there was also the heavy use of religious themes, as well as greek mythology, to further jiwoon as some sort of DEITY to the viewer. this perfectly entwines with how jiwoon had written I HAVE SEEN GOD on the saesang's chest in their own blood. the red thread that jiwoon performs with throughout the song represents the thread of life, and how he is the one that holds this person's life in his hands, threatening to break it at any point — to which he does towards the end of the video, signifying the victim's death. one move in the choreo depicts jiwoon as jesus, nailed to the cross. and lastly, the usage of half eaten apples — the fan is seen as eve, while jiwoon the forbidden fruit. the temptation of him was too strong, even to the point of SERIAL STALKING and trying to get to close to what the trickster truly was.

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀throughout the chorus, jiwoon tells you EXACTLY who he is. he has never tried to shy away from the darker side of his character, but he plays the victim so well that nobody believes he's truly the one pulling the strings. the chorus chants the lines 'FAMOUS ( i'm so fabulous ) FAMOUS ( i'm so dangerous ) a voice calling for me and a delight of ecstasy'

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀one of the final shots of the music video depicts jiwoon walking away from a smoke filled room, before cutting to a pile of mannequins burning in a heap — which could only be acknowledgment towards the fire that claimed no spin's life, and that's exactly what it is. no spin was jiwoon's first victims, the ones he holds closest and dearest to him, but they are also the one's that led way for THE TRICKSTER. jiwoon has his fame all thanks to them, and while a morbid and macabre way to remember them, jiwoon couldn't possibly be more thankful for their sacrifice.

-Drops a Jong-In Shin next to Ji-Woon and runs off. Enjoy the sugary sweet doormat!- (sent by Az >:3c)

The cutesy and pastel figure shoved Jiwoon's way had taken him by surprise, causing him to stumble. As he corrected himself, he looked over and felt his stomach drop in an uneasy wave of anxiety; a discordant tune like a broken music box somehow stirring inside and conducting forth long-ignored emotions as the two idol's eyes met.

They were a stranger to him, but Jiwoon's instincts were acting like any moment they'd kick into overdrive. Something was wrong here- maybe the supernatural tie with the Entity was telling him so; making it so the Trickster's body wanted to get away from this oddity.

Yet despite the wave of emotions, hands reached up and grabbed the other by the shoulder to steady himself- look into the source of this rattling experience and hope for an answer.

fuck it *uses wooyoung as trickster*

Ji-Woon, giggling and twirling a knife: "so there's this boy...."

Every other killer: "we know. You never shut up about him. PLEASE shut up about him"

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀★ @jiwone gets a starter !

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀you can come to me anytime, is what jiwoon had told him in the studio when he came to monitor charm recording their debut album. but they're certainly not friends, and eden wouldn't even classify them as co - workers despite working in the same company. jiwoon orbits leagues above what eden does, a household name in the industry. eden had looked up to him as a trainee ( as most of the young M1 boys did ) but the idol was positive jiwoon's hospitality only went as far as helping him nail down a choreo, or giving him pointers to navigating the harsh industry — not . . . not whatever this was.

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀golden skin is drained of all of it's colour, pale as they paint him for the cameras — but there is no camera in sight, and eden wears his FEAR like an elaborate stage costume. black blood seeps steadily from the wounds in his neck, saturating the simple skinny jeans and t - shirt outfit his fansite had photographed him in earlier. despite his condition, all eden can think about is how mad the stylists are going to be later.

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀the night does a good job of cloaking him from the public, but it's a different story when he's stood on jiwoon's doorstep, looking all the part of a mauled victim. ❝ hyung, ❞ his voice is quiet, SCARED, hands soaked in his own blood trembling uncontrollably as he stands before the older idol. ❝ i didn't, i don't — i don't know what happened. i didn't know where to go. i - i'm sorry . . . ❞

[yixiangs]

it honestly drives me a little insane how jiwoons apparently silly enough for junwon to call him "pabo" but we've seen literally none of his personality on screen at all

[seoulkill]

jiwoon and who

[delicatebluebirdruins]

the post that Yuna made that turned the school against Eunwon was never discovered or discussed (i think) which leaves the moment in the end where they kindle their sisterhood with a sour note in my mouth

did Eunwon's mother not discuss the center being sold behind her back with her husband?

apparently not for god's sake you've heard of miscommunication this show has miscommunication that doesn't get resolved for 10+ years five of which he stopped paying the crematorium

so much of this show can be summed up with

You onow what maybe i'll send osomatsu to hell too

[grimmshood]

Ok yeah so post ateez concert comment is that i dont think im gonna stop thinking abt the guerilla performance for a while bc it made me even worse about jiwoon . Like hongjoong showing up and playing the fucking guitar like i immediately started having visions .

getting into them majorly bc of the trickster / HJ comparisons may have been a mistake bc every time hj does something that particularly gets me it becomes part of my minds trickster lore

“is  that  all  you  can  do  in  the  face  of  tragedy?” @jiwone

Percival tries, quite poorly, to stop the twitch of irritation that invades his features. His first instinct is always difficult to stop, it was stronger than any reserves of self-control he kept. It's a pride-wrought response, something he tries to keep to himself but had never quite had the control to do so.

Percival felt like he was locked in an infinite battle, overcoming & adapting at every turn. The lengths he would take to do so were indefinable, insurmountable. ( perhaps this is why the words strike him, like the back of a hand. it's an insult, it must be. ) if he were to stop, tragedy would win & grief would take him. Which wasn't an option - not yet, at least.

The instinct to snap back at the other rears it's head, barking at him in tandem with his heartbeats. It made each steady ' thump ' feel heavier as he guided the emotion, tempering it to the best of his ability. But that outrage is his protection & so he rides it like a high.

" No. It's not," he admits, sounding almost pleased with himself. Almost, being the keyword. A private ' something ' is folded into the words. A dare, maybe? or even a threat. It's hard to identify even as he pushes words through his teeth. Percival was nothing if not a slave to impulse & so a smirk causes the knot in between his brow to unravel, " but you don't get to know every card I have to play. "

headcanon &. destiny

⠀ ⠀★  send  headcanon  +  a  word  and  i��ll  write  a  blurb  about  it  !!

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀whenever i think of minjun, i immediately think of the quote :

" this was always going to happen. she's been dead since the beginning. "

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀just because i think his destiny has been sealed ever since the day his father died. minjun was destined to follow him into the grave. maybe he stood a chance, his career was already dying enough, so maybe he didn't have to go with it but — his fate was definitely set in stone as soon as jiwoon had joined no spin. this is how he'd die. and there was nothing minjun could do but blame himself for whatever jiwoon had become, unaware that there was a darkness within that boy long before minjun even met him, that he couldn't have helped him if he tried.

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀it also makes me think of this beautiful reply eggy ( @allkilled / @obituaried if ur not following them literally what's the point ??? ) wrote for me that to this day still FLOORS me because it just !!! it fits everything that became of minjun !!

" and what can I say of you? Burned too bright before you made it? Your soft heart ate you alive from the inside out, and the industry swallowed you up long before I could sink my teeth into you. "

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀minjun has been dead since the beginning, has been a victim of the industry long before he was jiwoon's. he was destined to burn as bright as his fleeting career had, a supernova for the masses to witness in all of his glory. he can only hope that his destiny has left a long lasting impression on those that supported him, that his fans think of him and feel warmth, and that they remember him for what he was, and not what he became.
