I like Rachel as a character in Tower of God. I think she fulfills an interesting and engaging role in the story. She is a horrible, horrible person. Her and Bam's relationship is incredibly manipulative, codependent, and abusive. Despite this, she is repeatedly given items/people/powers in order to continue her "heroine journey" safely. Idk man I just think that is so interesting. She drives so much of the story in such a unique way I don't see in a lot of other webcomics/stories within this genre.

ToG AU where Khun and Rachel end up so deep into their mutual bullshit that they get married

They both hate it and know the other hates it just as much so they do everything in their power to make the other one break first and get a divorce

Always funny when you shit on something all season then it ends with a good episode, fairs. Actually found myself excited for the Stray Kids OP and Workshop arc. One episode can’t save this train wreck of a season, but this was a good way to wrap the cour. Honestly excited for what comes next even though I know it’s gonna look ass lmao.

Khun and Bam swapping respective teams and taking leadership roles is pretty cool actually. Khun had them boys going thru HELL getting ready for the workshop battle lmao. Whole time he just sitting on an iPad watching everyone damn near die

“Any team I’m on can’t lose” ahhh the aura. I missed having Khun in this show consistently, next season is gonna be good if this ending is any indication

Yihwa training to control her fire ability was lowkey the best animation of the season lol. She was one of the bright spots of the season for me, loved her sm. she might be a lil slow and can’t cook but she’s my idiot. Still waiting on Hwa Ryun to show me something like y’all been hyping her to do for a while..

That cliffhanger! Yea, this was probably the second best overall episode after the ban and Khun reunion and it needed to be for me to maintain any sort of desire to watch this. They succeeded. Still a very big downgrade overall, but this was a nice finale.

NOTHING WRONG

Yeah so I loved how this scene was animated

[melanovia]

I love characters with flaws that we're ashamed to admit having. vanity, disloyalty, jealousy, hypocrisy, fickleness, cowardice, weakness. traits that are shared by many but expressed by few. it's cathartic to explore them in others and learn how to better navigate your own experience.

[lancelot2015]

There's a lot of untapped comedy potential on the idea of Khun helping Rachel around while she pretended to be handicapped

"Accidentally" hitting her head agains the bedrest while helping her get in bed

Drawing her a bath that's too hot

Leaving things just out of the reach of her wheelchair in places where there are too many people for her to stand up

#16.2 Rachel

Bam stepped into the bare and bleak room of an old rented house on the outskirts. The only thing of interest was a simple wooden chair in the center of the room that was occupied by none other than Rachel. Her head was hung low and her wrists were tied behind her around the chair backrest. Mr. Agni reasoned he had to put her to sleep to avoid unnecessary fights, and assured Bam that she'd wake up soon enough.

Bam could hear Mr. Agni and Grace-hyung talking just outside of the room. It seemed like Mr. Agni had to go somewhere, since they exchanged goodbyes not long after. He shifted his focus back to Rachel and took a closer look at her wrists. He couldn't help but think that the rope was too much. It shouldn't be necessary for this conversation, right? It'd only upset her and he hated it when she did.

So he kneeled down and began to untie the rope. When he looked up, he noticed that Hyung was eyeing him warily. However, he just stood there by the door, not making any move to stop him.

Just right after he was done with the knot, Rachel stirred awake and familiar yellow eyes found him. She jerked away, screaming, "Wh– what do you want from me!"

Bam let the silence linger. Giving her time to regain her bearing and seek the answer herself.

Her face got a few shades paler as if she had seen a ghost. Or maybe, in a way, she did.

"Rachel," Bam muttered.

Shock flashed in her eyes before it settled to understanding. "Bam?" Rachel's voice was impossibly soft and sweet, yet it sounded so wrong. "Oh Bam, you're alive! I'm so glad."

…Was she though? She pushed him to his supposed death. But her face was a mix of relief and unbelief. Bam didn't know which was the real her anymore.

"Bam, we have to get out of here. I was kidnapped by a bad person. Quick, before he returns."

"You're not going anywhere." An unfamiliar voice joined them as Hyung finally stepped into the room. The lighthouse floating beside him must've acted as a voice changer. His hat was pulled down low underneath his hoodie, shadowing his face from view. 

Rachel didn't seem to notice Grace's presence until then, if the shock on her face was anything to go by.

"Well then, Bam. Go ahead and ask her," Grace encouraged.

It was the first time he had heard Hyung's cold tone; emotionless and distant that sent shivers down his spine. But that thought could wait for later, because currently he finally had the chance to ask a question that had been plaguing him for the past five years.

"Why did you betray me, Rachel?"

Rachel no longer looked at him as sweetly. "What do you mean, Bam? I've never betrayed you."

"That day, you pushed me out of the bubble."

Rachel's eyes watered as she clenched her hand on her chest, "I was trying to save you from the monster attack. But I lost my balance and accidentally pushed you too hard." She looked away guiltily, voice now just above a whisper. "I had a nightmare about it every time I closed my eyes. I'm truly sorry, Bam."

"That's…" Bam was sure he had defeated the monster. Unless Rachel had mistaken some random fish as a threat? It could make sense, but things were still not adding up. "I saw you stand on your feet, at least explain to me why that is possible."

Rachel furrowed her eyebrows. "I think you remember it wrong."

"No! I know what I saw."

"And so am I!"

"Don't lie to me, Rachel." Bam begged. He was trying to find proof to justify her actions, but why did it only prove that Mr. Agni was right about her? About how she faked her disability to stab him in the back and take advantage of their friends. "You're the one who taught me that lying was bad, so are you trying to get me to think you're a bad person?"

"No, Bam–"

"Tell me, Rachel. Why did you try to kill me?" Bam felt his vision start to blur as tears trickled down his cheeks. It just dawned on him that the foul clenching feeling of his heart was the feeling of betrayal, from someone he trusted and looked up to, no less. "What did I do to you?"

Rachel didn't reply right away. But when she spoke, Bam's world crumbled. "The star…I want to shine as bright as it is rumored to be. But when you're around, I was nothing but a shadow because you took all the light. You who are chosen and loved by many, who wouldn't feel envy?" She gave a weak laugh and stood up. "You're right. I've been faking my injury. But this is what it takes to climb the tower for the unchosen. Innocence wouldn't get you this high, so I'm sure you're just as bad as I am."

Bam looked at his hands which had just recently been bathed in the blood of his opponent. He could still feel the stickiness that clung to his skin and he felt the urge to scrub his hands clean like he did the night before. So he was a bad person now? Was he doomed to never have friends again?

Bam caught an angry scowl on Rachel's lips as she walked past Grace and through the door. Grace tried to go after her but Bam quickly reached out and pulled on his hoodie to stop him from leaving. He didn't want to be left alone with her lingering words.
