If my life is a manga, I'm suing the author

[kdramalovergirl]

I have a bone to pick with the Lovely Runner fandom.

I wish Sol's pain was more acknowledged.

Sol's loneliness at having sacrificed everything is glossed over, and it should be talked about more.

The way people talk abt Sun-jae as though he's the only that cares and waited for Im-sol annoys me when the whole drama literally revolves around the fact that she will do anything to keep him safe. Including go through her heartbreak over and over for such a long, long time without breathing a word of it to anyone because how could she explain anyway? The only two people who (sun-jae and tae-sung) have their memories erased.

Sol goes through so much. Loses her idol and then loses him again as the love of her life again and again and still has the resilience to be a bright, lovely person who fails and then tries again and again to keep him safe. And then ultimately wins at another price. "Happiness comes at a cost", her brother had said. And she knew he was right because she was already paying hers.

I'm not saying that Sun-jae wouldn't have done the same. He definitely would have and he loves her just as much. It's just, Sol's sacrifice, as well as Kim Hye Yoon's amazing acting is a little less recognised and underappreciated for my taste. People went crazy over BWS and Sun-jae and I get that it's mostly a heterosexual female fandom or whatever but how can you not appreciate Sol just as much? Would Sun-jae have fallen for just anyone? The first thing that drew him to her was that she was kind when she didn't have to be. And we saw her do it again and again.

As for Hye Yoon, especially calling back to how her fellow actors (BWS and Seo-hye won mentioned her bright personality on set despite her scenes being the most emotional and heavy, with physical stress as well wrt all the "wet scenes" that involved water and constant crying. Reducing her to bws' girlfriend as I've seen edits do is so disappointing when this is an actress who's delivered her best and then some. An actress that everyone, including BWS, is in awe of, for a reason.

I honestly love Sunjae's expression in this scene (Sol defending Sunjae against her brother after he talks rudely to him.)

He's like, "Yeah, what're YOU gonna do about it? My girlfriend is on MY SIDE ~😏😁💋💋

[kyumi234]

Soljae Thoughts🩷💙❤️❤️❤️

I really love how when Sunjae and Sol finally get together in their college timeline, they just focus on loving each other as much as possible. No calculativeness, no mind games, no insecurities, no doubt, just pure love❤️❤️❤️

(Whoever said something similar to this on Tumblr, I deeply apologize but I also feel the same way.)

Always going to love them💞

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)

[kyumi234]

this too

[rileyclaw]

i dunno if you do tutorials or anything but can you share how you make your poses look so good? mine always look so stiff and yours look natural and flowy

i am going to do my darn BEST to explain my convoluted and honestly ridiculous process of "how i get a pose to???"

Note that I kinda stick to a sort-of stylized anatomy!! Having flow in a drawing, to me, means that something is leading this flowy line of action, and the rest of the composition is appealing to that leader.

Like, below-- the stacked drawing has no real leader, it's all kind of stacked one on top of the other. But in the S-curve, the chest leads, and the head and legs counter it to support weight! And in the overlap, the head leads, forcing down that chest and keeping the legs more splayed out to keep the character from being unbalanced.

I had the opportunity to take a month-long anatomy course in 2021, and I definitely also recommend doing research and practicing varying body types and shapes to make your work more unique! Learning where muscles go and how weight is shifted from pose to pose can really help you get a natural feeling for how to pose with more... flow .

Don't be afraid to get SUPER exaggerated with line of actions, and see where you can overlap and scale forms to get a more interesting pose!

kazu dickhead rant pt.2

Throughout the manga, I noticed that the author sprinkled in tiny hints here and there that Kazuhito loved his daughter “all along” and was just too fucking shy to show it. This is supposed to redeem him in our eyes, but honestly it just makes his character even MORE frustrating. Because of his lack of showing affection towards his daughter, Haine lived most of her life thinking that she was unloved and unwanted, that her own father willingly threw her away for money. This not only causes her extreme emotional distress and a tendency to violence later on, but ALSO makes her insecure enough to believe that she needed to earn money from part time jobs and give them to her stepmother in order to “keep her place” in the family.  

I mean the only nice gesture he ever did in her childhood was giving her a fucking book. Also, even tho he sent Haine away for adoption cause he thought she would be unhappy with him, HE DOESN’T EVEN BOTHER ASKING HER WHAT SHE WANTS, IF SHE WANTED TO KEEP LIVING THERE OR NOT. IT’S LIKE HER OPINION DOESN’T EVEN MATTER.

ALSO, IF HE ACTUALLY LOVED HER, WHY DIDN’T HE MAKE MORE OF AN EFFORT TO ACTUALLY SHOW IT OR IF HE DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO SHOW IT, WHY COULDN’T HE HAVE JUST ASKED MAIKA OR ANY OTHER FELLOW PARENTS AROUND HIM WHAT HE COULD DO TO SHOW AFFECTION! 

MAKING YOUR PASSWORD THE NAME OF YOUR DAUGHTER OR SENDING A LETTER TO HER PRINCIPAL TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH U CARE FOR HER, ISN’T GOING TO MAKE HER THINK, “AWWWW MY DAD FUCKING LOVES ME,” UNLESS U ACTUALLY LET HER KNOW ABOUT IT!!!

All of that dramatic reveal about him actually loving Haine all this time only makes him look like a coward who doesn’t even have the guts to tell his daughter that he loves her upfront.

Hell, he couldn’t even express his love towards Maika like a normal human being except forcing her to be his girlfriend AND wife.

[kyumi234]

I just need to rant for a second

So the other day, I remembered reading The Gentlemen’s Alliance manga vol.9 in middle school and.....is it just me, or does NO ONE notice how fucked up the things Kazuhito did to Maika is? LIKE HE LITERALLY FORCED HER TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND AND WIFE EVEN THOUGH HE KNEW THAT SHE ALREADY HAD A SECRET BOYFRIEND.  FORCEFULLY KISSED HER WITHOUT CONSENT. HAD HIS OWN SERVANTS WATCH OVER HER SO SHE WOULDN’T RUN AWAY. SENT HER OWN FUCKING DAUGHTER FOR ADOPTION WITHOUT HER CONSENT. DROVE HER MENTALLY INSANE.

What really pisses me off was at the end of vol.6, we see Kazuhito lying next to Maika, asking himself, “If you were as strong as Haine, would this not have happened?” or something like that. (”that” referring to her sanity completely shattered by his stupid actions)

And that.....has to be the stupidest question I’ve ever heard.

ANYONE, NO MATTER HOW MENTALLY STRONG THEY WERE, WOULD BE COMPLETELY DEVASTATED AND MENTALLY AFFECTED BY THAT SHIT. WHAT, DID U THINK SHE WOULD BE FINE WITH IT?

Then all of a sudden, we learn that Maika also has feelings for Kazuhito too. Even after allllll the fucking shit he did to her, for some reason, she’s now “in lurve” with him. Bitch what? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. 

Sigh.

Honestly, for me, the only good thing I can remember from vol. 9 was the art. That’s it. 

Also, the “being in the light” metaphor was kinda cringe. No offense.

Reflection on mlb S4 finale

I think the saddest thing in the final part of Strike Back was that it wasn’t even Marinette’s fault that hawkmoth got the rest of the miraculouses. Sometimes things will just get in the way of life and Felix pretending to be Adrien was just one of them. An unexpected setback. I do admit that although she trusts Adrien, she shouldn’t have revealed vital information that her yo-yo contained all the other miraculouses since it would be dangerous for people to know where it is, no matter how trustworthy they are. But even so, this isn’t something she should blame herself for. How was she supposed to know that Felix was Adrien? The only way she knew last time in Season 3 was when Felix tried to force a kiss on her cause that was NOT how Adrien would act. But since he put on the best Adrien like facade this time, of course she wouldn’t notice this time due to how hectic the situation was. 

  Also, hawkmoth showing off the fact that he has all of the other miraculouses is like a kid bragging about their A+ on a test that they cheated on by peeking at the smart kid’s paper. Pretty pathetic, considering how hawkmoth had originally lost. If it wasn’t for Felix, he never would’ve gotten the chance to get them anyway. I genuinely hope the kwamis give him a hard time. And when I say hard time, I mean Plagg from Gabriel’s Lament fic hard time. 

(kinda hoping they’ll include a scene of the kwamis pestering hawkmoth for food all the time in S5. It would be hilarious. 

He would be like, “And once I do this and that, I will finally capture Ladybug and Chat Noir’s-!” 

“WHERE’S MY CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSS”

“YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE GRAPES IN THE FRIDGE! WHERE TF ARE THE GRAPES HAWKBUTT!!!”

*groans* “The things I do for power…”

Though, it obviously will be very dangerous now that he has them and since he seems to be more….erratic. Honestly, as soon as the finale ended, I instantly got this vision that the 1st episode of Season 5 will start off with Marinette going to school like any other normal day and getting this strange feeling like something is off from time to time. Then we would find out that hawkmoth turned back time in order to bring back his wife and keep Adrien home, and that created very different circumstances for Marinette and Adrien’s life. Or maybe Marinette and Adrien got their miraculouses taken away from Suhan and tried to make her renounce the guardianship. Or maybe the writers will get their shit together and take this chance to introduce new heroes that will help Paris or idk maybe all the old guardians from the temple would gather together and use their powers to defeat hawkmoth. This whole situation kinda reminds me of quicksilversquared’s ao3 fic, Luka & the Jewelry Heist, cause hawkmoth also has all the other miraculouses in that fic too. I might read it later just to get some relief from that finale.

The Ending Ian Deserved - Painter Behind the Curtain review

I think one of the reasons why I was so unsatisfied with the ending is because I didn't feel like Ian changed that much. He lacked the character development I would've liked to see in him at the end of the story or even in the middle. I mean yeah, it's great that he's happy now, but...Ian is still dependent on Raymond in a way and still insecure that he might leave him or regret choosing him over the princess one day. 

I think the ending I wanted to see was seeing Ian cope with his heartbreak and depression, slowly heal from it, and move on with his life; realizing that he didn't need Raymond to find his own happiness. That even if he wasn't with him, even if he chose the princess over him, that didn't mean that he wasn't good enough. That he wasn't capable of being loved. It was simply just Raymond's choice. 

And then actually SEEING Ian learn how to take care of himself, be kinder with himself and love himself more. Become more self confident and relaxed enough to tease his friends. To be able to EXPRESS his anger and stand up for himself when people hurt his feelings. I wanted to see Ian become ALIVE as a character, not just staying the same, timid and insecure person he was. I wanted to see him GROW. So when I didn't see that change, it left me unsatisfied and upset. Cause Ian deserves better.

I'm probably the 0.1% majority that feels like this though :\

Qilin ep salt rant (i know i already ranted about this, but im still triggered asf)

(Warning: Screaming caps)

YOU GUYS HAVE NO PROBLEM MAKING MARINETTE TAKE THE BLAME FOR THINGS SHE SHOULDN'T EVEN SAY SORRY FOR, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO A CHARACTER WHO ACTUALLY DESERVES AN APOLOGY, U JUST BRUSH OVER THE WHOLE THING AND BAM! WHAT DO U KNOW, IT'S MARINETTE'S FAULT AGAIN! SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HECK KIND OF BULLSHIT JUSTICE IS THIS

IF U GUYS ACTUALLY WANTED TO CREATE A MAIN CHARACTER WHO LEARNS FROM THEIR MISTAKES AND TRIES TO BE A BETTER PERSON, YOU SHOULD'VE PICKED CHLOE! NOT SOMEONE WHO'S ALREADY A GOOD PERSON!!!! THERE'S A LIMIT TO HOW SELFLESS MARINETTE SHOULD BE FOR OTHER PPL, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO DON'T F**KING DESERVE IT!!! *Glares at conductor bitch pickle*

[kyumi234]

Miraculous Qilin episode RANT

For once, I DIDN’T want the akuma to be defeated. 

I wanted Sabine to beat the shit out of that dumbass moron conductor and roger, WHO FUCKING KNOWS THAT SHE HAS AN EFFING DAUGHTER, but NOOOOOOO who cares about the truth when the “law” is more important? Gosh, Roger cares about the law so fricking much that it makes him look stupid, honestly. But then again, is it REALLY surprising when he’s fine with his daughter being treated like a slave by the SCHOOL BULLY? *rolls eyes*

AND WHAT THE FUCK WAS UP WITH ALL THOSE PEOPLE ON THE BUS??? ESPECIALLY THE FRICKIN BUS DRIVER!!! You literally SAW HER BUYING THOSE BUS TICKETS, EVEN GAVE U FREE DELICIOUS FOOD, AND U DIDN’T SAY JACKSHIT. GOD, WHAT A WASTE OF DELICIOUS FREE FOOD >:(((

Not to mention, how AGGRAVATING IT WAS to see that stupid bitchy conductor disrespecting the shit out of Sabine AND NEVER EVEN APOLOGIZED FOR IT. I MEAN, I KNOW IT’S PRETTY REALISTIC CAUSE MOST IDIOTIC JERKS DON’T APOLOGIZE UNTIL THEY’RE FORCED TO, BUT IT WAS SO IRRITATING!!!

AND THIS IS A KID’S SHOW, MAN! YOU COULDN’T AT LEAST SHOVE SOME WELL DESERVED FORM OF APOLOGY TO SABINE???

AND I DON’T MEAN BY FORCING IT OUT OF MARINETTE’S MOUTH, WHICH HAD TO BE THE DUMBEST SHIT EVER, I MEAN ACTUALLY MAKING THE JERK WHO CAUSED THE WHOLE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE, TO ACTUALLY APOLOGIZE TO THE FUCKING VICTIM!!! In the words of Adrien Agreste, “IT’S NOT THAT HARD.”

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Anyway, if any of you are still pissed off like me and watched The Good Place, watch that S4 clip on Youtube (The Bad Place Again) and pretend Brent is that shit faced conductor and you’ll feel a lot better :333 

[kyumi234]

Things that trigger me

1. Creepy bugs

2. Dolls

3. Any creepy woman in horror movies with long black hair and a white dress. That shit STILL HAUNTS ME TO THIS DAY. 

4. The fact that I never got to hear what Shego was going to say to Kim Possible at the end of this one episode when Shego became good cause of this random machine.

5. Ron fucking everything up on that episode by accidentally turning Shego evil again. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM FOR REVERSING THAT CHANGE. EVERRRRRRRR!!!! 

6. The fact that I can’t legally ship Kim and Shego because Shego is waaaaaaay older than her.

7. The fact that the writers didn’t make Shego at least 3 years older than Kim so I can actually feel comfortable with the idea of shipping them (PLUS THEY HAD WAY MORE FUCKING CHEMISTRY TOGETHER THAN KIM AND RON! I CAN’T BE THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS THIS WAY) 

8. Silco’s death :’(

9.  Arcane season 1 finale. No other words needed. 

10. Mr. Queen’s ending. Again, no other words needed.

11. The writers never letting Cheoljong get the chance to realize that Bong Hwan was telling the truth about himself being a guy in a woman’s body.

12. The writers never letting Cheoljong discover that the one he truly loved was gone. OR AT LEAST SHOWING AN AFTERMATH SCENE OF HIM REALIZING THAT.

13. The writers never writing A SINGLE EFFING SCENE of Soyong telling Cheoljong the truth about Bong Hwan. NOW IT JUST SEEMS LIKE SOYONG IS DECEIVING CHEOLJONG AND LEECHING OFF OF BONG HWAN’S EFFORTS TO ENJOY CHEOLJONG’S AFFECTIONS (I’m not trying to say that Soyong is a terrible person now, I just don’t like how the writers left her character the way it was in the ending cause now she just seems like a villain)

14.  People saying “Bong Hwan and Soyong are the same person and soul.” 

I will literally fight you on this. BONG HWAN IS HIS OWN PERSON. POSSESSED BODY OR NOT, HE AND SOYONG ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND DIFFERENT SOULS. CAPEESH?

[ryebreadgf]

god said let's give this bitch so much self awareness it's going to stop her from doing literally anything
