#this got a bit rambly but it always does
Text
and like, despite the deliciously shippable couples it has, Twinkling Watermelon is not a romcom, it’s a fantasy coming-of-age. the theme is family, the main relationship is between Eun Gyeol and his father and while their respective romantic storylines are crucial, they’re not central.
which is nice, on the one hand, because it offers a slightly different (and beautiful) kind of story, but then because instead of being [main couple] > [second couple] it’s [son and dad] > [son’s gf and mom], it ends up letting down Eun Yoo and Cheong-ah a bit and leaving their resolutions a bit rushed / open ended (you know, like how in other shows you’ll see the second couple standing together at the main characters’ wedding but no actual, solid resolution).
so the final scene of the show is primarily a bonding moment and a resolution for Yichan and Eun Gyeol, and you don’t get much of Cheongchan and a very quick last-moment wrapping up of Euneun (and like. what happened to our girls in the years in between?? we need answers!)
#which is… not a complaint necessarily#like yah the main characters are Eun Gyeol and Yichan this we know and it makes sense that the ending would be mainly about them#but it does feel like they swept some stuff under the rug for the girls when their stories were just as interesting#like we have the euneun kiss at the end and the very very last scene also belongs to Eun Yoo which is nice#but it’s also like okay wait! how did we get here? how did she realize the truth? what’s her life like now that everything has changed?#there’s definitely like. hints and subtext but I do wish we’d gotten more#and that’s the main couple. the second couple… I mean. they got married obviously#but we KNEW that from episode 1#that was always going to happen and I think it would’ve been nice to just have a bit more of them together at the end#though we do have Yichan speaking about her and making her blush that was cute#like. I’m not *complaining* I’m just saying that that’s where the weakness of the ending lies#it doesn’t have enough time so it sacrifices Eun Yoo and Cheong-ah a bit (especially Cheong-ah)#I feel like I’m not making sense atp just rambling and talking in circles but you get me right?? you understand my feelings#and heck I haven’t even MENTIONED Se Kyeong. no one knows what happened to her fr#elly's posts#twinkling watermelon#day 230925 of twinkling watermelon obsession

i never know what to say whenever someone who’s never pursued learning a language asks me “where are you in [language]”
how am i meant to express how far i am when they have no reference points but refuse to accept “im in year 2 of the language” as an answer. what answer do u want. i beg of u.
like, there’s general markers such as saying “i’m getting into more complex grammatical structures with compound sentences” but the person i’m speaking to has no idea what that means for progress
i then get asked if i would be able to “talk to them”
yes?? if they used words i know, which are simple, but still enough for a complete conversation, but not fluent
just ask me if I’m fluent yet if the deepest you’ve thought about language learning is “can speak to a native speaker or not”
idk what u want from me. i missed this lecture on small talk
#ramblings#this is not a simple question to answer#but ppl use it for small talk with me a lot#BUT IDK WHAT A SHORT ANSWER WOULD BE?#”i walked into the korean store and got the general gist of what they were talking about”#does that actually give u anything?#i always just receive a blank look as they try to parse if that’s impressive or not#before receiving the most condescending “oh#i’ve ever heard#but maybe i am expecting too much from my old roommate#who once asked me how to clean up water on carpet#bc “it usually just goes away eventually on wood floors”#it is a bit tough to remain gentle#when the grown adult u share a room with#just asked u how to clean spilled water#safe 2 say i was the only one who cleaned all year

!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#A great episode tbh especially given the low budget. I feel like they really did their very best#And even though what I'm going to say next is probably going to be all critic - because I nitpick things and that's what I always end up–#talking about - I still want to underline that it was a very solid and enjoyable episode!!!#Alright the ss/kk was so 💞💞💞 every scene I had to rewatch twice or thrice akhscbashfb they're so cute!!!#Except for the riding scene tho. That scene gives me massive second hand embarrassment every time I just wish it will end as fast as–#possible pffttt. Mmmmhhh... The drawings weren't even too bad all accounted. My main complain is about the quicksand scene...#I feel like that one should be a slow quiet emotional scene. I never licked the choice of using the song as background soundtrack :/#I feel like it ruins the mood of the scene (it was still good though)#I also... Generally don't like the direction they seem to go for with Akutagawa's character in the anime‚ he seems quite a bit flatter–#compared to how he is in the manga. He can't be angry and evil ALL the time you need to show that softness get through from time to time.#If not what even is the point of his character. Yet in the anime he's angry (and not distraught) when he loses the mine craft and he's–#angry when he's questioning Atsushi about his motifs and he's angry when he's bragging about Atsushi's abilities to Goncharov and he's–#angry when he makes the promise with Atsushi at the end of the episode and eventually he'll be just as angry even when telling Atsushi–#to run away as he's sacrificing his life for him. It is pretty flat at the end of the day.#If I can say something about K/ensho Ono without being killed I think they do contribute to making him feel angry all the time.#But that said it's all probably poor directing choices (or simply choices I don't agree with).#Also‚ about cuts. Usually I try to be lenient about it– I understand it's hard to fit in everything and b/sd already does a very–#good job by adapting the manga almost panel-by panel. It's just that... You skip Akutagawa showing compassion for Atsushi after the–#orphanage director died. You skip Atsushi sharing the same compassion when Akutagawa loses his targed in the mines chase. You skip the–#“Nothing special about that. // I suppose he's far crueler than my own mentor.” line. And sure each of them may be negligible by their own#But together they wave a consistent web of relationship between the two characters you know? And it's a loss to omit them all#Well no mind. Again it was still a great episode overall!!!!#I think the colors in the mines could have been prettier in the mines but we can't have it all#Off to season 4!!! Omg I can't believe we got this far :DDD#random rambles#FINALLY was able to catch up in time for the season 3 finale!!!!!!

Is that character gay? *points at Mine*

'is he gay' 'yeah' 'oh-' LIKE WHAT. WHAT NOW MOTHER WHAT HAVE YOU SAY TO THAT#like i think my mom asks that so much as a cope for my existence when i dont even like men mom As Per Usual mother you got it wrong#she's so weird because her. 'best work friend(? boss?)' is gay so she doesnt care about gay people she just doesnt like. me LMAO#but my moms selective hating aside i do wish i could show her characters i like#not because i want to bond with her but because it always seems funny when everyone else does it with their parents#but id just be too embarrassed ... or i can just imagine her saying like. every other chara is scary lookin. or ugly. liek my grandma did 💀#my sisters keep telling me to show her daigo since they think he looks like our dad and im always tempted to#god wait that just reminds me how when i did a daigo cosplay last year my dad saw me and he was like 'you're like a mini me :)'#like .... cmon dawg youre not helping LCKAEJLKCJAE love him. hope to see him again soon <- literally just saw him#wait while im rambling my dad came over and our 'uncle' (no actual relation just dad's friend) gave us. 12 fucking bottles of wine#when no one in this house drinks enough to warrant TWELVE BOTTLES ?? so funny. at least my sis and her husband drink#and i have one (1) friend who drinks LOL so thats cute. do i have any other unnecessary lore bits to drop before i disappear for a week#our ac broke and its been hot as balls. yeah thats it thats the end of it see you guys next week

had an argument with mother due to being emotionally unstable (it's the depression weeks and everything sucks) and everything she said just made me angrier and it took me a while to realise I am becoming my mother. guys I am going insane
#ive been a bit ticked off since i woke up#and when my course selection process started lagging today i did consider doing something harmful to myself#which was completely an inteusive thought#conbine that with my existential dread because im dumb and idk what im doing in life#and the depression weeks. and suddenly i cant handle things i usually can handle#and i got angry at mother for talking nonsense (she was just discussing things)#she was always this way (still is) so to see myself blow up like she always does feels kinda shitty#we really are wretched mirror images of each other huh#zuri rambles#i already feel like a failure because I'm not able to be academically competitive with how hard uni is so this kind of sucks#to Google docs i go ig

could cozy up to me- ahem
#ash rambles 💚#i love him soooo much! i know i get stubborn about it sometimes but he really does have my heart#him and ash get together post-game so i love writing him and his development and him learning to be a better person#theyre not together during the game. theyre enemies during the game. theyre also both kinda immature late teenagers/young adults#(i just wanna make it clear that there's nothing weird there going on!! he and ash have had mutual attraction to each other since they were#kids but they dont get together until theyre adults and he is an adult in canon!!!)#but back to what i was saying#his development with ash is sooo goooddd! they spend a little while doing mercenary work together! ash has quite long hair and man ajsjajsh#the way he learns how to take care of her hair always makes me soo warm and fuzzy inside! he may be a bit of a meanie but he is a#surprisingly affectionate bf! f.f8 s/i probably also straightens her curly hair like i do and he just likes helping and stroking her hair#there's a lot of playful bickering though! lots of matches of triple triad too! whoever loses does the dishes LMAAOO#man.. he's so handsome and strong... i love how he's always so dedicated to being a knight and a protector... i know he uses that as an#excuse to like. do horrific things in the game but!!! in the mobile game you can see him develop and i really do like his redemption arc#from mean ass bully to kinda mean ally that'll protect you no matter what. his character is so good especially when you consider that he's#literally been forced into training since he was five. lots of things to analyze and think about there#but back to the knight thing!! he always says he's ash's knight! makes my heart flutter hehe! though he is very well-aware that ash could#kick his ass... and he loves it! he's not big on using her beloved guns (shes very picky about who touches her sweethearts too) but he does#like watching her epic gunslinger gf in action hehehe! okay yeah i think thats enough rambling for now#i got sick 😔 i'm okay and it'll pass but expect a lot of half-asleep f/o rambles LMAAOOO#okay yeah. tldr: i <3 s.eifer a.lmasy#your knight until the end 🤍

There's something so specifically infuriating when someone uses one of your experiences or your demographic in an argument, especially if said argument is about spreading hatred or is just so wrong. They "speak on behalf of the ___" to say such fucked shit.
"You're not thinking of the ___!"
"I literally am ___. You saying that adds nothing as you do not speak for me or for other ___. Shut up."
#I really really hate it. It angers me in such a specific way that just skldjf ksdl#...#vent below. idk. I'm really sorry#Mad rambles#Terfs will be like “oh think of survivors! 'MEN' can share women's spaces!” like shut the actual fuck up. SHUT UP. Shut your damn mouth#A terf is so much more dangerous than a trans person. Me. a tiny cis woman is so much more dangerous to a terf than a transperson is.#Because I will obliterate you. How dare you say you speak on MY behalf? As if I don't know what I'm fucking talking about.#as if you're “protecting me” by spewing such bullshit? by treating someone as a danger when they're not?!#Especially when they believe it's a fucking TRUMP CARD. Like mentioning it means they're right!!! when obviously they're not!!!#Or when they think the fact that I'm cis will make me agree with them! I'm cis simply because I am. I'm not better or worse because of it#being cis doesn't mean I'm fine with bullshit though!#I really hate feeling almost as if like...idk I'm “known” for talking about this but it's just so so infuriating. people will act like they#know when they don't. Obviously every experience is different and terfs who are survivors I hope you find peace and my heart goes out to yo#but you also need to get your fucking head outta your ass. Saying such things isn't the way to heal and you're hurting others with it.#It's NOT about hating men or trans people! the “men are always violent/women are always victims” mentality needs to fuck off#as if it's just the script of life and that it's inescapable no matter what. that it's the truth even if circumstances say otherwise.#...I'm going to possibly block the epic tag for a bit. I have the name of the saga blocked but like... It's just genuinely upsetting.#my story got picked apart too on how it wasn't actually that bad. that I'm actually the fucking worst. “Men are just like that sweetie”#BULLSHIT!!! Gender doesn't dictate a person's morals. Being good and kind does. It doesn't matter what form that takes!#not even saying HE'S good and kind as he's horrible and wonderful at the same time but about this stuff? Do what you want but#I DO think you're insane if you see it as otherwise and it makes me wanna lock my door. You're not a bad person probably but also 🙃#I get that there's history but there's also the fucking TEXT.#I don't know. I'm really sorry#tw trauma#tw sa mention#I'm not necessarily against reblogging this (I don't care) but don't post with tags. please

His videos are always so…
youtube
#he hasn’t posted in a while either so oh wow#I’m glad he’s still making videos#yeah…. a lot of these edgy black content creators revolve their whole content around punching down on the little guys#going for what’s shocking rather than actually attempting to say something actually funny#either they’re making fun of the lgbt community or they’re laughing at black women#it’s like….#rambling#like I notice that this kind of content is usually from black dudes as well because of course#it’s been going on since the vine days well a little bit before that#but this kind of content got more extreme during the vine days for sure or bad at least started to manifest itself more#the guys in wigs pretending like their ghetto black girls (always making fun of darkskin bw…)#what am I saying this has been a thing for decades#there are sm of them that never do that tho like#rcd world (I’ve been watching them since HS I think lmfao or at least college)#druski’s always been hilarious I could easily see him getting his own show on adult swim or something#Caleb city has always made fun content as well lol#the video does mention a very old video from him that was transphobic I’m guessing (never saw it) but I’m sure he got backlash and took it#down but he’s never made any content like that again for sure#killakaytv is funny too#there’s more but these are the ones that come to mind without me having to think about it they even make content#that’s just edgy af for no reason most of them suck tho if I’m being real I don’t have too much faith for black male content creators 🗿#they can barely keep the fact that they hate black women and lgbt folks out of their content like it’s exhausting#like I could easily rec the folks mentioned simply because they’re actually funny and don’t make content that’s purely mean spirited af#Youtube#crazy about this video#the video is more about edgy content but yeah

I started reading this webtoon called “This Wasn’t My Plan” and the first couple of episodes are VERY whumper-turned-whumpee (but then it calms down after a few chapters, boo) and I was just SO excited reading it last night that I had to share
#it does have lady whump but she’s just like…bullied and not outright tortured#although she does die and then go back in time because thats always the way in manhwa#but yeah this guy was bullying her and literally bullied her to death#she went back in time and now got to bully him#she felt bad after a lil bit tho and stopped#willow rambles

biggest discovery of my life is finding out I naturally have a northern accent that I've unknowingly been hiding for like 20 years
#like how does that even work#but it's not like i had the accent as a kid and then started changing it up when i was a teenager#like I've had my southern accent as far back as i can remember#but for some reason i talk so much more fluently when i let it go slightly northern#my southern accent is so stuttery and monotone and my voice cracks a lot and my words are always a bit slurred or barely pronounced#but if i like move my mouth more and fully pronounce my vowels it goes SO northern#well not SO northern but enough that it's noticeable i guess#the only thing i can think of is apparently when i was a kid i had to see a speech therapist bc i couldn't pronounce certain things#like 'ch' and stuff#and my mum taught me to speak and she's got a doncaster accent but i'm guessing the speech therapist was southern#so maybe that's it??#literally no idea#honestly fascinated by this though#ramble

ough i need to actually like work on my OC askblog but im kinda rethinking my main oc's design? i love it sm but idk,,, can i get some feedback? personally i love his goofy appearance (he is MEANT to look very friendly/silly and bright, part of his backstory) but i worry some parts of it are too much (like his little bulbous antenna on his ears, or the mismatched colors *everywhere*)
some notes: the one on the left is more recent, but the colors are a bit less accurate (the face is more correct but the body's accent colors are mismatched like on the right. i cant decide whether i want him to have colored paws, im thinking i might go with the grey...)
i put a lot of thought into the more robotic and 'helpful' aspects of his design like the speaker ears he has that can project audio, and his tail, which lights up like a flashlight. his 'eyes' are on metal squares that can turn right, left, up, or down to make emotional expressions, etc.) some of his features are directly tied to his backstory, as he was created to be 'the perfect friend' by a corrupt genius, so he has physical traits to match, ie as the genius saw it, useful traits. Why have a friend hold your flashlight when he could BE the flashlight?
idk i love him he is my silly robocritter but i do sometimes worry he is TOO goofy looking
ok to rb!! (but id prefer replies)
#my askblog for him is askc3r0 btw!#sorry for rambling so much!!! and i rly appreciate any responses.#i wanna Commit to a design for him!!!#this isnt so much option 1 or option 2 more like. what traits are good/bad btw#i feel like maybe i should have explained more of them so ill add stuff in the tags:#hes got a screen on his chest to display battery level/vitals BUT it can also play tv!!! and video games!!#(that C3R0 cannot watch unless hes looking in a mirror)#(it was not designed with HIM in mind)#invisible feature: his paws warm up (or cool down)#his nose can light up#and under the power button on his collar is something of an 'off' or really more like 'sleep' switch#besides that uh i think all i have left to say is that his mouth is permanently :3 and does not move. he is always smiling no matter what :#voidcat art#i feel a bit bad posting old art of him but !!! that just motivates me to draw NEW art of him. i love him sm!!

my best friend made me watch all the zombies dcoms and im just like what. head full??? how
#i shouldnt have this many thoughts about it#choreo wise aesthetic wise esp there were some really interesting bits from that standpoint#but like aug the random 4th wall breaks#there are so many self aware jokes at how batshit everything is#i shouldnt feel some kind of way about modern disney channel original movies#but someday is really good (the move the guy does with the lamp has glued itself to my brain. that whole number is aeeeee)#i could ramble about how it gets close to subverting typical tropes for the genre but always falls short but like. this is for kids.#got insane gender envy from the tall art zombie. god i wish that were me#he is the reason i sat through 2 more movies#also the shrimp mascot national treasure#av says all#not tagging this#metaphors are super half baked but otherwise not as horrendous horrendous as i thought#3 stars for it being interesting enough to look at for me to stay plus gender envy
