han joowon is a LOVERBOY. i don't care! don't argue with me!

once he feels secure in his relationship with dongsik i truly think he's the sweetest, most chivalrous boyfriend you'll ever meet.

dongsik can never get into a car without joowon holding it open. dongsik can never sit down at a restaurant without joowon pulling the chair. dongsik can never walk on the sidewalk closest to the street.

dongsik's cold? joowon is shrugging off his jacket immediately. dongsik's hungry? oh, how convenient that joowon stashed his favorite snacks in the glove compartment! dongsik's sick? joowon is at the stove with an apron tied around his chest cooking chicken soup, AND he'll rub vaporub on dongsik's chest to help clear his cold.

his love language is 100% acts of service and he never fails to make dongsik feel like the most loved man on the planet!

Beyond Evil Trivia

This action was not part of the script.

It was actually Shin Hakyun who suggested to director Shim Nayeon that for this scene, Yeo Jingoo (as Han Joowon) should hold him (as Lee Dongsik).

Which means the way Dongsik reached up to hold on to Joowon’s hand—that’s Hakyun’s own adlib as well.

And so was the way Joowon pressed his mouth to Dongsik’s shoulder. That’s Jingoo’s adlib, too.

[vindicated-truth]

Adding these tags by @bulleobulleo because they’re amazing:

And also—this is the first death Dongsik and Joowon have witnessed together.

Dongsik witnessed Lee Sangyeob’s death alone; Joowon witnessed Jung Cheolmun’s death alone.

Shin Hakyun made the right call in having Joowon hold Dongsik here, because it shows how their tragedy is finally shared—and they can seek a semblance of safety and comfort in each other.

It makes all the succeeding scenes all the more impactful, because in this moment, both Joowon and Dongsik have become much more human in each other’s eyes.

That moment when Joowon bows to Dongsik and Dongsik bows in return, with Joowon holding it together until he looks into Dongsik’s eyes, and Joowon only lets himself break when he walks away.

“Some people can’t cry in front of others,” Jihwa says when Cho Gilgu runs away, made all the meaningful after that shared moment between Joowon and Dongsik, who did cry allow themselves to cry in front of each other for the first time.

The way both Jaeyi and Jeongje sends Joowon after Dongsik, wordlessly knowing, mutely understanding, that it’s Joowon whom Dongsik needs, that it’s Joowon who can coax him to come back to them.

That moment when Dongsik allowed Joowon to hold him, that moment when Joowon held him close as they broke down in each other’s arms over a death finally shared between them, was the moment they both knew there’s no turning back.

They are inextricably bound to each other now.

a baby shen wei inspired by To the River | 过河 by @hidey-writes(/@hideyseek) !

an of course notes (that will be more fun after you read the fic, if you haven't already!) and sketches:

-I did take liberties as far as color palette here, as in the fic shen wei is floating in sunlight. I wanted some contrasting orange/blue just for the Vibes(tm). very tempted to do a second version with lighter greens now that I think about it...

-the first thing in my mind for this was the reflection of the mountains in the river and the color of the water fading to black to reflect the sky!

-his mask was also floating in there with him in my first drafts but I got lazy and decided not to include it lmao

-I HATE the shape of shen wei's sword hilt. I hate it. It's cool in theory but then you draw it and it's like. Why is it Like That.

So I see you all are exhausted by streaming services effectively recreating cable. I see you’re all tired of ads. Pirating is a great alternative, but I have another fantastic option for you all!

I live in Seattle. And in Seattle we have America’s largest physical media store, Scarecrow Video. They are a non-profit that has pretty much any film or tv show you can imagine. Like, everything. So much so that one of our local cinemas does a program with them called “Unstreamable” where they show a film from Scarecrow’a archive that you can’t access anywhere online. It’s a bit overwhelming to go to their store, which is two levels of every program under the sun.

ANYWAY, I bring this up because they recently started a Rent-by-Mail program. It’s pretty similar to what Netflix used to do. You can rent up to six titles (barring their super rare stuff and pornos) and they will ship it to you, then you return it in the included pre-paid envelope.

Why does this rock? Sure, you still have to pay money, BUT you are supporting a non-profit that is dedicated to preserving media instead of some corporation looking for endless profit. They can also expand your palette with their vast selection. And if you have a favorite piece of media, you never have to worry about it disappearing! All their stuff is there in perpetuity.

So this is all to say, now that Scarecrow has expanded their reach beyond the Greater Seattle Area, I implore you to check them out. If you don’t want to rent right now, the could always use donations to keep them afloat.

You can check out their catalogue HERE!

[bogleech]

I've been here!! But holy shit a rent by mail service. Like how Netflix started.

Here in Portland we have Movie Madness which isn't physically as massive but it is very similar and doubles as a prop museum, with heavy focus on sci fi and horror!

[beggars-opera]

They have an entire Bigfoot section, because Seattle

[indiestarlight-deactivated20250]

Scarecrow is fucking amazing, and they are also currently in danger of having to shut down their physical location if they don't get enough money by the end of the year.

I've lived in the Seattle area for just about my entire life. Over the decades, I've seen this region change and shift and grow—sometimes in good ways, other times in very bad ways. The area I grew up in is nearly unrecognizable. All of the places I used to go as a child and teenager have been bulldozed and built over. My childhood home and the adjacent grove were torn down years ago and replaced with condos.

But Scarecrow is still there. Through all the changes and the bullshit, Scarecrow is still there, just like they have been for years. I've gone to Scarecrow looking for everything from anime to sci-fi movies to a 1980s Czech stop-motion adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, and they have always had it on their shelves, no matter how old or obscure it is. This place is truly amazing, and they're one of the last bastions of physical media I know of.

I know times are fucking awful for everyone right now, and I am not here to pressure or guilt anyone into donating. But if you happen to have some spare money that you want to put to a good cause, I think this cause is very, very deserving. They also accept physical donations (e.g. DVDs, video players, etc) and are always looking for volunteers. You can find all the information on ways you can help them here.

AITA: Beyond Evil Edition in Three Queries

aka, Han Juwon Experiences The Darkest Timeline of A Hallmark Channel Romantic Comedy

*wherein I asked myself where would Juwon go for help with his problems and the answer was, obviously an anonymous forum online that offers dubious advice)*

AITA for Having, Like, Standards?

I (M, 27) just moved from a large city to a small town and accepted a major downgrade in my job position for personal reasons. However, my new coworkers (M, range of ages) have made my life extremely difficult. I should clarify that I have OCD and general anxiety disorder, and I don’t feel comfortable sharing that with people, or sharing anything.

I tried to bring a positive attitude to my new life, but within the first 24 hours of my being here, I was violently dragged through reed fields, discovered the body of a total stranger, got sexually harassed by a serial killer (M, 40) from my workplace, and was made to endure a social outing with coworkers. Understandably, I acted out a little. AITA?

Update: no I will not elaborate. Just answer the question.

AITA for Creating A Toxic Work Environment Even Though There Were (Mostly) Good Intentions?

I (M, 27) recently made a series of occupational choices that seemed logical at the time but which I have since learned are not good for anyone.

Context, since you’re all so concerned about that: Essentially, I pseudo-framed a couple of people for tiny crimes with the intent of flushing out dangerous criminals (to the people who asked during my last query, I will not be sharing personal information)

In fairness, and to head off criticism from this unruly website, I should point out that one of these people recently assaulted me with dairy products. The other has been unprofessional at work, dispensing support and wisdom that borders on paternal (actual paternal, not my own—you know what, never mind) behavior. Both are very loyal to one of my coworkers (M, 40s) who I reasonably believed to be a serial killer. That belief has been derailed somewhat by the discovery that he is not, in fact, a serial killer.

This entire situation (his fault) has somehow led to an awkward series of workplace and butcher shop encounters in an insular and frankly criminal-ridden small town, as well as several HR-worthy situations that I cannot be held responsible for. Basements are essentially public spaces.

AITA?

AITA for Choosing To Side With My Country Boy Crush Over My Mean City Dad?

I (M, 27) have been going through it. My workplace romance with the man I originally believed to be a serial killer (M, 40) is suffering ever since we learned (through legal and necessary means) that my own father is responsible for multiple crimes connected to the aforementioned paramour. I’ve been reading comments and questions from my previous queries and I promise I took them to heart, and have found opportunities to 1.) let him put me in handcuffs, 2.) invest in fashionable outerwear, 3.) try to get framed for murder in his place (not feeling appreciated for my efforts here).

However, recent events have led to some strain in the relationship. So I’ve decided to go to hell for him. To be clear, since many of you seemed concerned about my “safety” and “sanity”—this is a perfectly reasonable course of action. However, it does involve betraying a verbally abusive parent in favor of a hot guy with great hair.

AITA?

Update: My boyfriend and dad are both in prison.
