Self-diagnosing his own insanity, accepting his peak level of cray cray, owning up to his own toxicity and loving himself for who he is...

That's Cha Segye for you, the self-awake king and mental health icon.

Yes! Dumb. They are both super dumb.

"Don't kill people trying to sneak into my tent! They might be innocent?" How is that general even still ALIVE let alone in charge?

This is also my facial expression watching this scene.

This country is so doomed, maybe we should just let treason run it's course you know? Weed out the stupid ones. Put the bodyguard in charge, he's being dragged down by trying to protect these idiots.

You know what? Cdramas 100% get it. They understand that the only way a man is attractive is when he's bloody and bruised, and preferably holding a sword.

Exhibit A:

Girl, me too...

Exhibit B:

Please, he's so fine!! 🥵🔥

This is beautiful

(She's being poisoned and strangled by her husband but that doesn't diminish the beauty)

Oh man the fabrics in the background! (as the bodyguard kills the emperor!)

This drama is gorgeous

#ashes to crown #ep 1 #cdramas #yayyyyyy

12 minutes in and I am quite tempted to drop 'Ashes to Crown' because the voice?

These are sensitive territories to me!

Why did they replace the original voices?????

#the frames are gorgeous though #it's one of the reason I hated feud and so many other dramas whose names i can't recall now but—#ashes to crown #cdrama #SOMEBODY EDIT THE ENTIRE THING WITH THEIR ORIGINAL VOICES OR SOMETHING RIGHT NOW #or i am committing arson

Danshim uses the word 'yeonmo', an older term for 'love' rather than 'sarang' and it's so apt and poignant to express what Segye feels for her. It speaks of missed connections, unrequited feelings, and intense pining; a profound emotion where you love, miss, and think about someone so intensely that it causes a deep longing. It's much more nuanced. Yeonmo (연모 / 戀慕) carries a lingering, often sorrowful sense of yearning that goes beyond simple affection, and a sense of tragedy.

It's a profound, often heart-aching type of affection mixed with longing. Because of its heavier, melancholic weight, it is rarely used in casual, modern speech and is mostly reserved for historical dramas, period literature, or poetry.

That one word in Korean perfectly encapsulates everything Segye feels for Danshim - he pines for her, yearns for her, longs for her, aches for her with the intensity of a rising sun,his heart breaks at the lack of her - because the word 'love' is no longer enough.

I hate that when you’re stressed enough your body just starts falling apart. I think it should realize you’re already stressed and don’t need that and start functioning better actually

RIP to the legend

This goose fucking rocks and had a crazy life!

I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:

He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.

Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.

Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.

When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.

Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.

Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.

As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.

His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."

Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper. He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.

Before and after his death, Thomas has been celebrated as an icon of the LGBTQ+ community for obvious reasons.
