No Eyes Au

Hello there! I humbly offer you fanart of Grian from my AU, which has been tentatively named the No Eyes, aka Sol's Eyes Au, aka SEAU, (aka I see you 👁️👁️).

I REALLY wanna tell y'all more about it, so reference + more yaps under the cut

Okay first, this was my reference!

I think every artist should use this reference at least once in their life because it's genuinely SUCH a cool concept.

NOW!!! ONTO THE FUN STUFF!

Okay so No Eyes, what is it about? Well! I'm so glad I asked! I'd love to tell the internet all about it, completely unprompted!

The Eyes AU is a dual-reality alternate universe incorporating Evo, Hermitcraft, and every Life Season. Possibly YHS as well(?), though I'm not familiar enough with it to say for sure yet. HOWEVER! It also — completely separately from the canon series, yet hopelessly intertwined with them — takes place in a magical modern day setting! Where all the hermits and life series members you know and love exist together, with their fandom-assigned animal/mob traits~

But that's just about every Hermit/Life Series AU, isn't it? What makes this one unique? I'm so glad I asked again!

See, the reason it's called No Eyes, is because — get this — Grian has no eyes. WILD! I know! Okay but seriously. Basically what happened is, in the modern reality, the Watchers are an Avian-exclusive cult. The highest ranking members, called the Scapulars, are all very specifically Owl Avians (thus the Owl Butterflies in the drawing)!! The Scapulars are very powerful, and in exchange for a person's eyes (and undying loyalty), they can bestow some of their power onto others.

However, I'm sorry to disappoint all you angst vultures and disability rep activists out there (y'all are just like me fr fr), but he is NOT fully blind. Part of the power granted by the Watchers is Watcher Sight! Probably not actually called that, but it's the easiest way to refer to it!

The concept is a bit hard to explain. It's kinda like– okay so you know how if you touch something, and then you close your eyes, you're still touching that thing? You can still feel exactly where it is, feel the shape of it, feel it if it moves? That's pretty much what the Watcher Sight is, but it's like you're touching everything around you, all the time. It works in a radius and ignores the concept of "hidden" — basically, it works through walls, and can even sense the needle in the haystack.

However, he can't see. He can't see the things he creates, the places he enjoys, the people he loves. He can only sense them. He may know they're smiling, but he'll never see that smile again.

There's sooooo much more to this AU, but I need to get back to work on my actual career, LOL. Thanks for reading, bye bye!

Are you happy? What's wrong with you? I just want to know if you're happy. Of course. Aren't you? I am. But I'm just afraid that I'm the only one being happy here.

Im Sol and Ryu Sun Jae in every other episode of Lovely Runner:

When Sol had that 'come to Jesus' moment after seeing Sun Jae come out of the bathroom looking like that I was sort of like lmfao girl why are you freaking out, this isn't the first time you've seen him half-naked. He was a swimmer, the first time she met him (again) he had climbed out of the pool and she just threw herself at him when he was wearing nothing but speedos and a towel.

But then I realized that back then, she didn't really see him as a man back then. He was her idol, her hero. Someone she adored but didn't desire. He's had the body of a Greek god this whole time and she was just like 'nope, precious boy! Must protect!' not a lustful thought in her head.

But it's different now, he's not just an idol to her, he's a man. Someone she loved (and, I'm still convinced, slept with in the other timeline) and seeing him in all his well muscled glory is enough to give her a 'oh no he's hot! he's been hot' moment.

It doesn't help that in this timeline, Sun Jae actually knows how sexy he is, he knows how to weaponize it and that makes him dangerous.

Sun Jae, you're an idiot. You're a sweetheart, but also dumb as hell.

Like why did he need to chase the killer? If you had already reported him, shouldn't you go find the cops to lead them to the killer? It was clear that Sol was not around him, so let him run. He can only get so far in this town.

It's quite interesting to see so many people rooting for sol because yes, he is pretty and is perfect in many ways but he is just not who Joe loves. Joe looks at him and feels nada. I guess, Sol is there to show that Joe is not desperate for the first person that shows him some love and affection. To me he does not even compute as Ming rival, because not even when Joe decides to leave everything about Ming behind does he thinks about giving Sol a chance.

Lovely Runner had the perfect run. The whole premise of it being a fantasy romcom was perfectly written, perfectly executed with a beautiful cast.

Sunjae and Sol were fated to be each other's soulmate. Their love blooms from their soul. So deep the bond that fates intervened when evils of society cut their time short. And in all of this the grandma was their fairy godmother.

The writers really need to be applauded because this was the sweetest and in the same time such a simple story. Timeloop dramas get loopy because logic but there's nothing stopping this magic. It was so well done truly.

Every scene you will think you can predict the direction will surprise you. Sometimes it's just belly aching laughter, Sometimes pure angst, Sometimes happiness that is a smile from ear to ear.

Thank you to the actors too. Actors who really bring in a personality beyond the writing and make the works more valuable have my whole heart.

Imagine making us believe Im Sol really found this beautiful.

Kim Hye Yoon, the actress that you are 💯

Episode 14 may LITERALLY be my favorite episode of the series so far!

It would be funny if this wasn't painfully true.

Sol: my life has been a big fat lie and now I'm reaping the consequences.
