OCism is also killing good writings. Because writers are creating characters first before having themes and goals. That's why your story sucked.

You have a character sheet and all sorts of details but you can't write a plot to save your life. Your pacing is dogshit.

Egyptian silver fish fertility pendant, circa 1913

Coins and fish commonly represent abundance and prosperity. In Egypt's Abu el-Numrus region, fish-shaped pendants were especially popular and were likely crafted by local Egyptian Jewish jewelers.

thursday..... and i bet you wish you were her

i cant even start talking abt it . why jeyi exemplifies the gothic romance love interest. the way jeyi plays the role of both protector and threat. the way jeyi's position at the top of the forces that crush seulgi also renders her seulgi's best option in defending herself from them. how a new layer is revealed w the car scene where yeri lies her (& gyung's) way out of the car after charming jeyi's father, and the audience is exposed to the tense reality of their intimacy, a closeness beyond proximity and understanding. in a lesser show jeyi's victimization at the hands of her father would put her on equal grounds w seulgi, who eventually is also targeted by him, but here it only exacerbates their difference, jeyi's dominant desire to protect, seulgi's desire to obey and be vulnerable, w a starkness they both fall into relieved and pleased, indulging the truth of this like nothing else. even jeyi being stripped of (giving up) all her power and ostensibly becoming equals materially w seulgi does not erase this dynamic, but will rather allow them to live by it without the dangers that plagued them before--the detection of jeyi, the humiliation of seulgi. using the instruments of their divide to free each other......thissss is how you do a modern gothic love story

carl jung girl you were so right about avoidance

[persianmom-deactivated20260602]

“if we don't accept our own destiny, a different kind of suffering takes its place: a neurosis develops, and I believe that that life which we have to live is not as bad as a neurosis. if I have to suffer, then let it be from my reality. a neurosis is a much greater curse! in general, a neurosis is a replacement for an evasion, an unconscious desire to cheat life, to avoid something. one cannot do more than live what one really is. and we are all made up of opposites and conflicting tendencies. after much reflection, I have come to the conclusion that it is better to live what one really is and accept the difficulties that arise as a result-because avoidance is much worse.”
