The Warehouse - ch 39

[william-chicago-trafalgar]

Tarantula by Thierry Jonquet

This short novel has always been one of my favorite. Stockholm syndrom.

It is constructed like a puzzle. Remarkable efficiency. Trigger warnings. I don't want to spoil. I know that it inspired the Almodovar film "La piel que habito", that I didn't want to see. I was afraid of being disappointed after loving the novel so much.

But if we wanted to find the true parents of Jonquet's work, it would be on the Korean side. The film "Old Boy" for example. The same perversity.

Or the manhwas "Obey me", "Killing Stalking", "Sadistic Beauty BL SideStory", "The Warehouse"...

Although it is only in "Killing Stalking" that we find, as in "Tarantula", the impression of a musical shift, of a soft killing (karaoke ?) song with a few beats. A musical scope of horror and no just a pictorial palette.

As for Jonquet's novel, it is entirely intended to be a rewriting of the song "The man I love" by Gershwin (which is mentioned in the novel) :

One of the lines from Gershwin's song could apply to several dark stories : "The Warehouse", "Sadistic Beauty BL SideStory", "Killing Stalking"... and "Tarantula" of course where the romantic song becomes a murder ballad :

"He'll build a house just meant for two,

From which I'll never roam, who would ? Would you ?"

Allllllll my Warehouse manhwa fan arts /doodles I draw ( more coming soon muhahahah)

[uchihanobourei]

Manhwa that messed my brain (2/?)

The Warehouse

Korean title: 감금창고 / Gamgeumchang-go

English title: The Warehouse

Author: Killa+Whale

Link to read: Lezhin US

Characters:

Kim Dohyun

Jung Sungho

An Yongsu

후 / Hu Joseph

SPOILER ALERT!!! (TW: r*pe) This manhwa is in the same lane with Hogu Ha Kyeongsu and Yahwacheop (Painter of the Night) (Killing Stalking got none on these)

The artstyle is very suitable for this manhwa because it's simple, clean yet very expressive: it has the strokes that express the emotions very well. And monochrome is a good choice for this type of story, giving the suspense feeling.

The plot is really dark and depressing. I can't put in to words how the plot is really overwhelming. I understand each of the characters side and POVs.

Kim Dohyun being used to shit gets thrown at his life since he's a teenager, and Jung Sungho who is always lonely (tbh I quite forget in the middle of the story lmfao but I still understands) Dohyun being so used life thrown before his face, buried every memory he had with Sungho after the misunderstanding between them, and can only hang on with the faintest memory he had with his other friends back in mid school. He never thought that by being with Sungho he could feel such joy (Ch. 46)

Sungho who is always alone, hang out with Dohyun and his friends in the school's warehouse, and wants Dohyun to stay with him, even if he has to do shit that makes him uncomfortable.

To Sungho, Dohyun is like manipulating him, and him having to wait for Dohyun. But to Dohyun, he just want Sungho to stay with him too, he's just not very good with words so he do so with acts that make Sungho uncomfortable and call him 'cute'. Sungho got agitated by the past because of it all, the waiting, doing "things", it must fucked his mental as a teenager, to be experiencing one-sided love. He went batshit nuts after Dohyun left him, which leading us here. And the reason Sungho did"all that" was so bc Dohyun doesn't leave him anymore.

Please don't read it if you don't want to be depressed and felt anxiety

Now I won't elaborate further (bc I can't and besides I forgor first half of it lmfao and it is really depressing and anxiety inducing and very dark. It's like tragic and unhealthy (dark) love story.

maybe you could do something like the reader thinks they successfully poisoned/hurt [any ateez member] but they’re incredibly wrong?

I love the idea, I was also inspired by something ahem manhwa ahem, can you guess what it is :3

Soup

Tw: yandere hongjoong, drugging, force feeding, food, vomiting

wc: 893

Your hands were shaking as you rummaged through the medicines in the warehouse. Since you didn't know which medicine did what, you took a few of each medicine and put them in your pocket. You were careful not to make a sound, but because of adrenaline, you dropped some boxes and cursed under your breath.

You loved Hongjoong, you really did. At the beginning of your relationship, he made you feel like you were the only person in the world. You were in this state because he wanted to be the only person in your world too.

Maybe you were crazy like him. What mentally healthy person would want to get rid of their boyfriend by poisoning him? Did you want to kill him completely or did you want to give him enough medicine to hospitalize him? You didn't know what you wanted to do to him, either option would help you escape from here.

You heard the door to Hongjoong's room open and you ran to the kitchen, threw all the medicine you collected into the soup on the stove and stirred it. You were shaking so much it was impossible for him not to notice something was going on.

Humming a song, Hongjoong walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. “It smells delicious, what are you cooking darling?” He sat at the dining table behind you and started watching you cooking. You couldn't open your mouth to answer him because you were afraid your voice would shake. "Darling, I asked you a question." His tone had changed, and when you still did not answer, he stood up from the table and walked towards you. You panicked and turned towards him. "Soup. I'm cooking soup. Your favorite." Hongjoong smiled at you when your voice shook. "Why are you so nervous? Did you do something?" If you acted well, would he still suspect you? Most likely yes. Hongjoong knew everything. He knew your thoughts and actions before you did.

"I didn't do anything." you said as you tried to breathe and calm yourself down. Hongjoong stared at you with one eyebrow raised. "Okay then." Suddenly he sat at the dining table again and continued to watch you. You could feel his eyes on the back of your head, but you couldn't turn to look at him.

Once you finished cooking the soup, you turned to Hongjoong. "Do you want to eat now or-" "We will eat together. You can set the table." He said interrupting you. You couldn't eat together. With your heart pounding, you tried to make an excuse. "I ate before you came. I'm full now. You eat, then I'll eat later." This time he wasn't smiling. He would make this facial expression when you were in trouble. "I said eat."

You poured some soup for yourself too because you didn't know what to do. You put the plate in front of him and sat at the table.

"Darling, you eat first." You weren't surprised because you knew he was going to say this. You thought about not swallowing but just holding the soup in your mouth and waiting until he drank it. Your hands were shaking so much as you dipped the spoon into the soup that you spilled some into the bowl. Hongjoong was watching you carefully.

Of course, Hongjoong wasn't stupid. You had put detergent in his food before, but Hongjoong noticed it immediately because it smelled. Your excuse was that you spilled detergent because you thought it was sauce. How cute, he thought.

You kept the soup in your mouth, trying not to swallow it. You nodded for Hongjoong to eat, but Hongjoong was still looking at you with those scary eyes. If you looked at it any longer, you were afraid to swallow the soup. "Swallow it." he ordered. When he saw that you did not swallow, he suddenly slammed his hand on the table and shouted. "I told you to swallow!" You swallowed with fear. You didn't know if it was psychological or if the medicines started working immediately, but you were feeling nauseous right now.

Hongjoong got up from the table and walked over to you, taking the soup spoon in his hand and dipping it into the bowl. "Why don't you finish them all? You worked hard to make this. Let me help you." He held your arms with one hand while forcing you to drink all the soup. "That's it, was it that hard?"

When he let go of your arms, you ran towards the bathroom as he grabbed his own bowl and poured it into the sink. You emptied the contents of your stomach and flushed the toilet. You were out of breath and trying to regain your senses when you heard a voice behind you.

"All the drugs in the warehouse were vitamin supplements. As long as you don't take 100, you won't get poisoned. Do you think I would put heavy drugs where you can reach them when you try to poison me once?" He approached you and tied your hair behind you. You thought he was going to comfort you for vomiting, but suddenly he started pulling you by your hair and dragging you to the basement. "Hongjoong! I am sorry! I wasn't thinking! Please-" "Your tactics were good, but you need to improve your acting skills."

a/n: Also thx for 200 followers! I love u all!♡♡ I'm a little sad these days, so I don't like what I write, but I hope you like it!

Robooty Reviews: Killer Crush (10/10) PERSONAL FAVORITE

Professional killer Joo Taeman has found himself completely head over heels with Korea's biggest heart throb actor Kang Da-Hyuk. Not to be confused with the average hobbyist serial killer, Joo Taemin's professional is his legitmate career and he has endured severe training mentally and physically his entire life to be up to the job. But suddenly he finds himself melting from the mere glance at Da-Hyuk's "boy next door" smile! This manhwa is packed to the brim with comedy and cute pannels. IF YOU LIKE ROBOOTY STYLE ITAGER YOU WILL LIKE THIS.

First review eeheehee! And whats more fitting than to continue this draft i made all the way back in March 2023? Dont expect proper summaries for the next ones lol. but ohhhh my god... this one is so good okay. ITS SO FUNNY AND AAUGWHHS ITS LIKE ROBOOTY ITAGER ADJACENT. LIKE FUCKING TRUST ME RN OKAY. THIS READS LIKE AN ITAGER AU TO ME ALRIGHT GUYS ITS NOT FULLY THE SAME OBVIOUSLY BUT IT HAS LIKE... COCAINE. COKE-HYENA! IF YOU LIKE THE SHIT I MAKE YOU WILL MOST DEFINATELY LIKE THIS!!!!!!

The romance is so cute too and ohh my god this art is to die for it's sooooo good.. I wish i drew as good as the author.... IM SO MAD THAT I DONT KNOW HOW TO ORDER THINGS USING A KOREAN WAREHOUSE ADDRESS BECAUSE THERES OFFICIAL PLUSHIES AND I WANTED ONE SOOOO FUCKING BAD AUGH **TEARING GRASS OUT OF THE EARF**

Anyways rn it's on hiatus because season 2 finished and I'm going to cry I need season 3... I wish there was a physical print of this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A PHYSICAL PRINT I WILL BUY EVERY SINGLE VOLUME. This is my first post and it's a 10/10 but no seriously guys. I dont give out 10/10s like candy alright. It's that good. This is unironically the only yaoi manga that I would feel comfortable recommending to anyone because its just a genuinely good comic. (It's not my all time favorite yaoi, but it holds second/third place with another manga I'll talk about later).

I love this shit. it's hilarious. I don't laugh often while reading yaoi (such a shame) or well even laugh often while reading manga (I need more comedy in mai life), but this made me laugh a whole lot. So good...... please read this I am begging you

[venomgender]

IM BRAVE ENOUGH unfortunately my signal is poop so no images are loading FUCK

THANK U MOE MY WARRIOR. i did not realize i made that original post 2 hours ago until i went to answer this ask WHOOPS. i was busy. n e ways. i have 2 main guys:

choi jaehui ^ Guy Whos Life Sucks. cjh is sooooo funny to me because the general concept of him (gay wizard) came to me in an incredibly vivid (at the time) dream and then he lived on just as 'gay wizard' in my head for like. a year and a half...? before i started actually developing him.

he ORIGINALLY was a like really snarky and full of himself necromancer based 100% off of typical shitty action manhwa protagonist (even his hair cut is stolen from one LOL) but 👆 hes so much more now. his life sucks now <3 LOL.

jaehui is the apprentice of one of his countries most powerful archmage's, he was originally an orphan just living on the street until one day his master happened to notice him using magic to steal food from a street vendor and, seeing his talent in magic, decided to take him in. that happened when he was around 10 or so.

BECAUSE OF THIS, he went from being a commoner to a noble, which all of the nobles surrounding him & his master Obviously Didn't Like, but they backed off once they saw jaehui's inherent talent in magic because of how useful of a Tool They Could Use he would be. jaehui of course noticed that the only reason anyone tolerated him was because of the magic and this did of course give him a complex.

cut to about 20 years later, every aspect of jaehui's personality that isnt "calm and agreeable archmage" is almost completely repressed, with the only exception (kind of.) being his master. the problem is, his master has been missing for serveral months. he finally has found a lead on his whereabouts, and a tearful reunion ensues! because what he finds is his masters corpse.

in this universe, any magic realted to "life" (healing, blood magic, necromancy...) is outlawed and its genuinely believed that you will basically condemn your soul to hell if you practice it. jaehui remembers this and then immeidtly attempts to bring his master back from the dead. he fails, though, being stopped by shua because hes about to summon a demon. he gets a cool tattoo as a mark of damnation on his eyeball though, so thats fun! speaking of shua...

joshua "shua" caballero <3 he also has a funny origin story in that i had the idea of an oc whos a mexican catboy who goes ña and made him. even his name is a joke bc all my friends have a guy named joshua that we obsessed over. but hes so much more now...

shua is the son of a subsidiary family of the caballero barony (aka his dad is the brother of the baron. you understand). he is also the head captain of the imperial knights! or, he was, until he overheard a plot of the imperial family kidnapping and brainwashing nobles that dont agree with them, and betrayed by the knights he considered to be his blood brothers as they killed him to keep him silent

he only survived because not every catperson can turn into an actual cat, and the fact that he could wasn't known by anyone besides his parents. but being betrayed by the very people he considered family worked out <3 because it was only after doing so did he realize his awesome nonbinary swag and actually get to explore his sense of identity outside of "someone meant to serve as a weapon for the crown" <3 jaehui is also transgender i didnt say it in his character profile but he is

anyways, shua's attempted murder happened about a year or so before jaehui's master went missing, and he's been trying to investigate that whole brainwashing thing since. that lead him to the same warehouse jaehui's master's corpse was being kept, which in turn lead him to meeting jaehui <3 talk about a meet cute <3 guy accidentally starts summoning a demon during a mental breakdown over his masters dead body <3 you know how it is!

but they meet there, and they realize 'huh we clearly have the same goal and need to further investigate why my master is dead / why the royals are brain washing people we might as well team up' and so they do! and more suffering ensues. but so does love <3 and more suffering <3 and more love <3

despite this being like 700 words this is only a very brief summary of just their base characters but if you want to learn more (in theory. i dont post tbh.) i have an oc blog for them too @choijaehui SMILE. thank you for asking and giving me an excuse to write about my guys + start thinking about them again. in the time it took me to write all this out its now also been 3 hours since i made that origal post thats crazy. well!

[wannaeatramyeon]

hihi!! i thought this was funny and wanted to tell you😭

i was telling my friend about Goo and how i would absolutely marry him and they said that he needs their blessing. i asked what he can do to get their blessing and they said he needed to write them an essay about how much he loves me so, to entertain them, i wrote them an essay from Goo's perspective about why he wants to marry me with a 20 minute timer. it was 584 words in the end and I worked a miracle.

Moral of the story: Goo got the blessing😭so uhhh you can always write your way into someones life??

This tickled me, just imagining the unhinged ramblings from Goo POV mixed with your own. Drop it please.

Inbox clearing time! Non fic requests answered: 6. (Check it - plus my fave Lookism arcs!)

To the non-anon anon that I have not included and I don't know what to do with your message - No, I won't hold your hand while you poop. Good luck with that.

Really?? I feel so... unhinged and nonsensical (even more so than usual) when I rant. Seriously thank you for reading!?!!?

PTJ did somewhat write women with more of a personality in his Life As A Loser Series so it seems more of a shame that he's lost his touch and catering much more towards teenage boys with his current series.

Which. Fine. Action manhwa - great. BUT if your target audience are teenage boys then yknow, wouldn't it be even BETTER to write some strong badass women so these impressionable youngsters realise that not all girls need saving, and oh look. Girls are human too. With their own ambitions and flaws and imperfections, just like everyone else.

If you must make them simp, form a harem. Also. FINE. At least give them something beyond that.

Hey Black Anon! Sorry again for how long it took me to respond to your ask before, and hope it's going much better for yourself since your last request.

I'm muuuuch more responsive with DMs so if you ever wanna come out of anon - come shout at me in my DMs!!

HTF s2 is really... something. Completely lost the meaning of HTF and Viral Hit. Don't blame you for dropping it. Alas, the Taehoon grip on me is still going STRONG.

LOL. Me in a similar position, wondering if I should get into JJK.

Can I... recommend some of my fave arcs if you ever do decide to read Lookism? The ones I like are generally more story driven.

Vasco's backstory (prepare the tissues) - 52 - 57

Johan + Zack + Mira backstory (cult warning, another sad arc) - 132 - 138

Goddog (another pretty sad arc with Johan) - 199 - 213

Jacedichi Files (silly crime solving with Burn Knuckles) - 215 - 218

One Night (Johan + Jace!! Fun action) - 258 - 262

Jake Kim (PLEASE READ THIS IF NOTHING ELSE) - 302 - 318

Workers (2A) (Rescuing Sinu. Honestly, I cry almost every time. Read Jake Kim's arc to appreciate this!) - 372 - 392

Let me know if you ever get into it!!!

Me??? Mine????? I cannot write that guy so thank you - that means A LOT to me! I will try harder to write a decent Eli (that doesn't devolve into ranting about his current direction).

Thank you for reading and being so friggin CUTE!! 💖

I feel a vaguely threatening tone from this.

Like something Goo would recite before walking into a darkened warehouse with a crowbar 🤔

Baby there's nothing noble about this, but it is actually more satisfying than my normal job lol (lolling through tears).

Thank you so much for reading!! My single braincell has been firing quite well with these ideas.

Anon. Honestly this is adorable, I've screenshat this for a pick me up ahhhhhhh 🥹

My dear 🕊️ anon, thank you for reading my DG fic! I also feel very little for DG but I will admit I am coming around to him.

YES!!! I LOVE the idea of someone getting close to James Lee in his younger years, and him being soft for the reader.

And then I also like angst so let's bring those 2 things together. Heh.

Eeeee I also added that Remember fic to my list of faves that I have written.

Please. I also have a list of fictional men I am unwell over. Let's start a support group! 🫠

[qqchurch]

left a manhwa recap video in the background while i was doing dishes recently and the entire time i was morbidly listening about what's basically the typical "i only prioritize myself" tough guy character that's going through the apocalypse and the flashes between before the nukes dropped and after flexing how he knows what's gonna happen so he's gonna use his large stash of money to build a bunker for himself and buy loads of weapons to arm himself and

well, you know the drill

what's more interesting (personally) was looking through the comments in that video afterwards and seeing people mention a rising trend of apocalypse stories that basically has that as the MC due a certain manhwa that's blown up recently

so, curious despite knowing that i'm heading into a woodchipper, i found that exact series and wow, this is probably the most juvenile, misanthropic, and especially misogynistic turdbucket I've tried to read, jeez.

guy basically regresses (because everyone loves this trope apparently) to a few months before the apocalypse after he got duped by a girl he's been crushing on to give up his hoarded supplies (which he as a warehouse's worth because he's Rich and Has Connections) and promptly cannibalized, so now he swears revenge on her and also his entire apartment complex because it's housed by the shittiest caricatures of what the author hates

i'd ask how this got popular, but given the state of the animanga community, it was kind of a given, lmao.

[sublimeblazetiger]

[bluelockednyx]

i just finish rereading "Isagi's Gemstone Mishap", and not sure if i should use ask on tumblr or comment on ao3 to rant about it but here i am (sorry for any grammayical errors):

isagi is pining hard, (and a bit possessive too, lol)

the whole journey of "retrieving a stone that can wreak havoc where i have to disguise, trick someone, break into a warehouse then break a spell, nearly break my neck from a fall and involve a friend using his young-master status to cover up my ass" is hilariously silly, my face hurts from smiling too much

i have questions, like, did rin drop the luggage out of the window bc he saw reo outside? or someone else? im kind amazed that isagi didnt argue and just went along with rin's plan

their dynamics were so well portrayed. it's consistent with what i think is in canon, most of fandom works quite frightened me a bit because they are very ... off-putting, i guess, but with yours, i feel somewhat safe (?)

i am interested in this au that i want to ask about your inspirations (?) for this fic, like how did you come up with this plot, and if there are other works that i should read in order to understand this world more

thank you so much

You can do whatever you feel more comfortable with, anon! Ao3's easier for archiving purposes, but if you prefer asking on tumblr then go ahead. I don't mind either way.

Yes, I wrote the whole thing with the idea of coming up with 'something fun that could happen while Isagi is crushing hard on Rin'. I'm happy you like it and find it silly!

When I was writing that scene, Rin and Isagi were preoccupied with getting out of the warehouse as quickly as they could without being spotted. The luggage was both bulky and heavy, so Rin took his chances with tossing it out of the window so Isagi could get up on the ledge, then they'd both run. Isagi had no idea that Rin was going to do that, so he was actually panicking when the noise got attention. Rin hadn't noticed Reo at all in the entire fic.

asjkl thanks, i'm glad you like the dynamic I put down here. I don't really read much fanfic these days, so I'm not too sure what you mean by my fic being safe? If you mean the content, do be aware that I explore heavy 18+ content on occasion, though I do tag it appropriately.

I based most of the world building of this AU off of generic fantasy novels and manga/manhwa. There's no 'one' work that I referenced explicitly, although I do indulge in Magic A is Magic A trope extensively, with some ideas about the limits of what the characters are able to do here.

I have only posted one other work for this series, which focuses on Karasu and Chigiri looking for a cure for a badly hurt Otoya, and it's also on ao3. That fic precedes this, and is both longer and a bit more serious, with some hints about other fics I've been writing for this AU. The 'part 3' of the series is a mistake from my side due to drafts and posting issues, so there's only two fics for this series currently.

Thanks again for reading!

I just finished reading The Warehouse yesterday and I was getting impatient. 'Coz I thought Jung Subgho's gonna end up like MD 😂 But oh wow~ 😏 Honestly, Jung Sungho was such an adorable kid when he was in high school. Who would've thought that the small introverted kid with tantalizing eyes and warm smile would grow up to be a tall fine man with nice physique. Also, he used to be a bottom but turned out to be a top when he became an adult. 💕
