Thinking about Yuder Aile's looks

I did think before that Yuder must be quite plain looking. Not ugly but not extraordinary either. Atleast, that's how he always thought of himself. But then I realised Yuder Aile is a freaking unreliable narrator. And that got me thinking even more of how he looked like. Of course, we have a great manhwa and many novel illustrations of how Yuder looks.

And they are all so cute! I just tend to visualise them a bit differently than whatever official arts make them out to be. That's to be expected, after all, we all imagine things differently when it comes to looks. Btw this is not me criticizing the manhwa or the illustrations. They are all so beautiful and I love them all 🥰🥹

TBH I think Yuder is actually...quite an unconventional beauty (lol ik so original). You know there are some people who, at first glance, look pretty but not extraordinary...but then the more you look at them, the prettier they become??? It's like some kind of magic happening. I had a senior in my college who was like that. The more I look, the prettier she becomes. I think of actors like Rekha and Tabu who become prettier the longer you look at them.

Also, in the world of Turning, it seems the beauty standard is bright hair and bright eyes, pastel colours and all. And Yuder is full on a goth gf. No pastels. Stark and contrasting. Black hair, dark eyes, pale af, stoic, and intimidating. He is not all sharp tho. He has chubby cheeks, according to Kiolle Diarca, so, I think Yuder has baby fats on his cheeks. That's insanely adorable to me. I can see why Enon wants to pinch those cheeks. I keep thinking of actor Yin Zheng, he has the most adorable cheeks. He makes me go insane. BTW check out his masterpiece of a drama called "Winter Begonia" ❤️ it's a cdrama based on a danmei novel.

Yuder thinks he is tall. And HE IS. He is 5'11". That's tall, ok. From the QnA, Kuyu did say he has a thin body type, so, I imagine him as a lean muscled body type. Not lanky at all. Like, Bruce Lee. A powerful house of a man, with defined biceps and core. Yuder from manhwa does remind of Bruce Lee a lot tbh. I really like that, Bruce Lee is my childhood!

(NB: I love his expressions)

So, that's how I think Yuder looks like. I am bad at the visualising part tho, so, Yuder keeps on shifting in my mind. I imagine a youthful face carrying the expression of a war veteran, and that makes people around him intimidated but also intrigued. All the descriptions in the novel remind me of the most is actually a very famous character, known as, the motherfucking Moon Dong-Eun from "Glory"! Played by Song Hye-Kyo. The eyes...look at her EYES!! That's Yuder Aile staring into your soul!!!!

You can even feel the eerie glare from behind the shades!

I think Lady Snowblood, played by Meiko Kaji, is also a good reference for Yuder's eyes. Look at her! I think this one is more suited for Yudrain Aile tho.

Ok. That is where I end my ramblings LOL

Wanted to say this for a long time. I would love to hear what others think Yuder looks like too. What other actors or even fan casting do you think of? Yuder Aile is such an interesting character. He is such a blorbo. I love him so much, and I am so happy I stumbled onto this treasure of a novel 💕

heyyyyy jpeg~ im back with more ask game numbers 😎 as always, feel free to pick and choose <3

10, 16, 17, 20, 27, and Karyogamy for 76 please!!

10. Cltr+f "blinks" on your WIP & copy paste the first sentence/paragraph that comes up

This is from the wip i've worked on most recently, something I originally was gonna post for TimKon week last year, but it didn't feel ready

“Fire away,” Kon responded. The monitor in front of him blinked to life displaying a beach at sunset, pink sky and golden sand and soft waves lapping at the shore. He recognized the beach as one on the island of Oahu. He remembered the feeling of low tide lapping at his toes and near constant sunlight soaking into his bones, so unlike the weather of the mainland.

16. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Share one of them?

Okay so uhhhhh haha I currently have 22 WIPs I'm actively working on, 3 completed fics in short term storage, and *checks notes* approximately 69 fic ideas in my notes app. Like, actually 69. That's not a sex number joke. Four of those ideas are specifically for a TimKon AU where Kon comes out of the tube late and imprints on Tim since he's the one who saved him.

17. What do you do when writing becomes difficult? (maybe a lack of inspiration or writers block)

I like to go back and read through WIPs i haven't worked on in a long time and inevitably there will be a typo that I can't resist fixing and then whoops! i've added two pages to that old thang. Badabing badaboom, we're back in business baby.

20. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics? Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?

Like every other dc fic write, situations be happening in alleys, warehouses, and safehouses. I also have a tendency to make my blorbos madly in love with each other because thats what makes me happy to write <3

27. What is your most and least favorite part of writing?

Favorite Part: The Writing

Least Favorite Part: The Writing

lol but for real i think my favorite part is writing something goofy and then rereading it later and being like 'goddamn i am so funny.' also the validation from strangers on the internet. my least favorite part is in longer fics when at some point i have to trudge through necessary plot stuff so the fun stuff makes sense. also group dialogue scenes. so much fun to think about, hellish to write

76. Did you have any ideas that didn’t make the final cut of Karyogamy?

I have a few things that i think i'm going to spin out into separate fics for the Where Babies Comes From series, including a big, fat TimKon wedding, the Kent family reacting to the baby, and another i like to describe as: the fic where everyone finds out about Kai's powers before his parents do (probably a 5+1). Stay tuned!
