Okay I don't know why I didn't understand this in my first watch of SnK but-

-Eren was well on his way to psychotic break before they ever laid eyes on the great blue sea. I honestly watched that episode the first time and interpreted all of his reactions as a kind of initial battle fatigue and that's all.

But now, in the rewatch, I understand that the source of his eventual complete and utter fatal crash out isn't because he's grappling with still coming to terms with the fact that he is Eldian...

-which, mind you, is what everybody else is grappling with! That's what's fuckingup everybody else. It's news to them that there's even different races of humans.

But for poor Eren-

who is for all intents and purposes, the coordinator of his race and therefore has impressions of all of the memories of every capital subject of Ymir who has ever lived-

-and has been actively and somewhat willfully reliving the memories of his father and The Owl in particular...

He already knows in a realistic and accurate manner how overwhelming the truth of "the world wants us dead" is.

Because he has, unfortunately, real memories of different parts of the world outside. You think there weren't Eldians trying and falling to blend in on the other continents??? Please. That's so many different flavors of genocide and suffering to have in your memory, holy shit, like...oh my God?????

So Eren does not have any of the hope that there is something amazing and feasibly wonderful outside of the wall in the ways that his peers and the rest the folks from Paradis could have if they were inclined to look at this information in a hopeful light.

He does not even have the permission to hope.

It would be a useless exercise and we see him freeze several times in the days after waking up with his coordinator power unlocked (I can't believe my 24 year old self wrote that off as just regular first time PTSD lol, I'm wild wild wild) because his brain can't even bother to finish out hopeful scenarios.

Baby his imagination is DEAD. He's not even 16 years old 😭😭

And the thing is that the soul thing that used to drive him was the fact that if he just got over them fucking walls that would be life and something better than survival on the other side. That is literally what powered Aaron from the time he came out the womb until the day he opened his eyes in confinement with way too many people's memories in his head. So he lost his literal will to live before we even got to season 4...

He's become even worse than our beloved Erwin, who had to sacrifice his of thirst for truth to the people's wish for him to become a heroic devil. Erwin at least did have a baby dream (get to that basement, confirm if humans exist outside) even if he had no hope. Eren, sadly, just fucking has neither.

Honestly it's actually quite impressive that he fought what had to have been intense and enduring urges to take himself out of the game. Four years is a feat, in light of that. Or you could also suppose that sheer malice powered him those 4 plus years, since he refused to take himself out solo. Still - while I haven't gotten to the final season yet maybe the fact that he possesses the Attack Titan is the sole reason he holds out so long. Maybe, just maybe, an ancestral racial soul - known for always fighting for freedom, no wonder the era - that couldn't look away from injustice did its best to influence Eren's behavior - no matter how fucked up that urge manifested.

Of course he crashes out in the wildest and most suicidal way possible. He had no hope from just about the beginning of the war... he was never going to survive the end of it.

[bloglikeanegyptian]

the language that world leaders and the credulous media are using to describe a strategic iranian missile retaliation that targeted military facilities and killed nobody ("unacceptable" "escalatory" "attack in close quarters to civilian areas") vs the language they used to describe the israeli terrorist pager attack in lebanon or the israeli attack that killed 500 people to assassinate one man ("targeted" "precise" "defensive") is genuinely a very interesting example of how far gone journalism is as a field, subservient to the world order before it has anything to do with the truth

if you are a hobbyist of media literacy, i would recommend you spend just ten minutes looking at the reporting of these two events (israel's attack on lebanon/assassination of nasrallah vs iran's attack on lebanon) on some of the main media websites you peruse and come back to this post and see if u agree with me

Kim Sun x Wang Yeo

07.14.2021 

[naijabutterfly]

okay i JUST finished goblin for the first time and ohh boy do i have feelings about this pairing

wow

first of all - for some reason, the strictness with which fate and divine punishment are handled in this show makes me so so sad. like it’s so immovable. nobody escapes their fate. there IS NO escaping fate. everything just has to play out the way the Almighty says it does - there are no bending of rules for happiness. it is implacable. and i think that goes against human nature’s belief in western cultures that we are the captains of our own fates.

[naijabutterfly]

second of all - they were THE MOST TRAGIC couple on this show, including the main pairing lol.

imagine!!!! loving your man!!! loving your big brother!!! and then your man hit you with ‘its him or me, one of has got to go’. Wang Yeo knew in the superficial way that you know that you might have done something really bad to someone but you feel like you can’t back down because you’re being driven by rage and fear and desperation. But he he didn’t understand, really, until it was too late. King Wang Yeo didn’t get that Queen Kim Sun is made up of all the love she has inside her. That she was raised by a big brother who’s so loyal and honorable that she’s always known exactly what it means that you have to do the loyal and honorable thing, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. So for him - he thinks “my girl should be with me, she should aways pick me even if no one else does, and i’m just letting her know that she has to make the right choice”. So he tells her to pick because he’ doesn’t get that this is a non-starter. He doesn’t understand that he gave her a choice that wasn’t a choice! That in this instance - he’s sealed her fate. She has to be true to love (loving her brother, and her husband) and she has to be honorable when she thinks wrong is being done. There was no path that would allow her to live - she would have definitely off’d herself even if Wang Yeo had decided to spare her because being alive and watching the monster formerly known as her husband would have been no life at all. She literally has NO CHOICE because to do anything other than be honorable and be loving is to not be herself - and to choose one love over the other is the same thing as asking her to not be true to herself. Really, there is…no choice. So, Kim Sun understands her husband is going to become a monster when he asks her that question. She couldn’t love him out of it and she couldn’t use her love of her brother to protect that brother - and her husband has just forced a ring onto her finger in a mockery of his feelings for her and said that he’s going to kill her. So she knows exactly what is going to happen when she’s dragged out to the steps and her family members and servants are tied with rope. She’s fought with the man who raised the king and that man told her in no uncertain terms that he wants her dead and that some day her husband will make that happen. The writing was on the wall. Kim Sun sees the end - he’s furious, he’s insane, he’s shaking her by the shoulders, he’s screaming in her face, he’s promising retribution, he’s a nightmare, he’s mad mad mad. And Wang Yeo still (STILL) can’t see that he’s forced this woman he loved despite hating her brother so much - into an untenable position. Truly, the tragedy of Wang Yeo / Grim Reaper is that his first lifetime was characterized by fear and jealousy and not the right kinds of love (or maybe not enough of love?). The king is doing all this hateful shit but is still psychologically that 10 year old who became king too early because everyone ‘mysteriously’ dies. He’s young, he’s influenced by his advisor and father figure, he’s jealous of his big brother-in-law who cleared his way to the throne without ever asking him if that’s what he wants, he’s childish - and he still probably believes that there’s a way this ends where he gets what he wants. To not be left alone. But Warrior Kim Shun walks. And Queen Kim Sun stands on the dais. And King Wang Yeo is so furious and terrified that he does the untenable too. A queen dies on castle steps, trying to prove to a king that he was a fool for not seeing that this is how she loves. That it’s not about honor or choice but that it’s about love and that love cannot be jealous or sequential or pitted against itself. A queen dies and a king rages and the king doesn’t see that in her death, this too is proof that she loves him.

[naijabutterfly]

The thing is…there’s is not a single reality in which the Wang Yeo of that time (an orphan king, feeling deeply abandoned, feeling like he must prove himself, feeling like he has to live up to expectations of what it means to be a king, feeling a little bit in love but not enough) would have been strong enough to choose Kim Sun over the man who basically raised him.

Not a single universe. Not one. But my girl must have hoped, right until the last moment of bleeding out from the arrow her husband ordered be shot at her. She must have hoped that entire time that he would change his mind at the last moment. Or perhaps, not change his mind. Because no one knows better than her that sometimes duty or position means people do things they don’t necessarily want to do. But even as the man who used to be her husband dragged her and her family members out she must have hoped that something in him would indicate in some way that he did love her.

That the young boy she first saw on the rooftop next door to where she was having walking lessons, that boy who grinned at her like she was the sun - that he really thought she was. That the guy who always met her halfway between wherever she was coming from and wherever he happened to be was still somewhere inside this angry man who said terrible things. That their marriage wasn’t a total lie, that he’d wanted her at least a little bit even if he didn’t seem to love her. That he would regret killing her.

Kim Sun never gets that.

Instead, she watches the love of her life storm away from her dying body in her final moments. And she has no idea that he then spends the next 20 years angry that she didn’t choose him but feeling guiltier and guiltier that he didn’t choose her.

[naijabutterfly]

So Wang Yeo's punishment is to grow up. And here's where this show's approach to punishment being comes into play.

His punishment first looks like being around humans and being so unchanged by then - until he meets a fellow immortal, who he's drawn to no matter what he does. When we first meet Grim Reaper, he has no memories but his behavior is still young. He pouts, he grumps, he complains. He likes order and for things to be in their place, he likes for his work collecting souls to be straightforward. He's kind of like a college sunbae - quirky, funny, a bunch of younger reapers who tease him and care about him and joke around with him. I think we're basically meeting him for the first time, for real - without jealousy or madness or the mantle of a kingdom on him. This is who he would have been. But his punishment is still the same - to grow up.

So we get to see Reaper go from the perpetually buttoned-up Grim Reaper to a character with depth entirely because of his relationship with another man. He's mad at the spirit they call the Goblin King because the Goblin King is messing up his work. But the Goblin King is funny and annoying and seems like a good person and Reaper starts to pay attention to everyone and everything else around him. He starts to feel something for the spirits whose deaths he's in charge of, he argues with the young guy who first tricked him into renting a house that was already owned. He starts to care about the Goblin! And he doesn't even seem to feel guilty about it - he goes from 'i do my job because the almighty said so' to '...even if it this is divine punishment, you don't deserve to be unhappy'. The Grim Reaper truly really becomes the Goblin King's friend. He lives with him and he loves him so much that he starts going AGAINST the order he loves to choose the Goblin King's side over and over again.

Grim Reaper can't finish growing up without being aware. He gets to know what makes humanity good and bad, all the choices that lead someone to his tea shop and the door to the afterlife. He empathizes with Eun-Tak, loves her even. But most importantly, the Reaper doesn't know that he loves the man who should have been his beloved hyung and he falls in love with the soul who was his wife again at first sight.

But to finish growing up, he has to remember.

So we watch the Reaper begin to feel more than he's prepared for. Starts suspecting that something is wrong. Tries to help this friend he loves and starts to stay away from Sunny because he's pretty sure something is actually divinely wrong. And he's now a different person - actually, EVERYONE is a different person, even the person who didn't stay dead. So it's not like remembering will turn him back into who he was in his first lifetime - instead, it's actually worse. He can remember exactly he was and be ashamed because he's no longer that person! He loves Kim Shun now - so much so that he was absolutely going to stay still and let that man hurt him. He cannot defend himself. Clearly, he doesn't want to defend himself. And he never does.

"So, I really was him...huh".

That scene was so awful - because the goblin king totally gets to be mad! Kim Shin has EVERY RIGHT to say all the mean things, to ask him to his face why he went that far, why he killed the Kim family and his baby sister! And yet Wang Yeo is now the Reaper - and the Reaper is a roommate and Tenant Uncle and Sunny's boyfriend and the Goblin King's friend. It's so clear in that scene that his punishment is basically just getting started - because Kim Shun has him by the throat and the Reaper is just crying because he's so horrified by the fact that he was ever someone unhinged enough to kill people who love him! And the him now can understand that the warrior Kim Shin was loyal to him to the end, which means that Kim Shin did love him.

So, his punishment is that he remembers exactly who he was and what he did. He remembers that the Goblin King was someone he hated - and the him now sees that the him in his first life was young and angry and scared. And he remembers what he did to Kim Sun. He loved her then and he loves her now. More importantly, he now understands that she when she 'chose' to die as a traitor's sister she was actually also choosing to die as his loving wife . So, how could he deserve her now? of course, he can't keep her. What makes it worse is that she remembers but still doesn't hate him - so he's going to hate himself instead.

Grim Reaper's punishment keeps going though.

Reaper has to watch his friend and former brother-in-law die by a curse that Wang Yeo caused. He has to watch over Ji Eun Tak from a distance. He has to lose Sunny a second time - when he think he's erased her memories. And then he loses her again when Kim Shin returns and Sunny decides it'd be too hard to pretend around all of them. But now he knows she still remembers and left the city altogether to go live out the rest of her life elsewhere.

And he has to bear it for another 30 years! He has to sit with the fact that he didn't love her enough to save her the first time. Didn't love her right to not be cruel with the green ring in their first life. That to love her properly this time he has to respect her choice to disappear because he was the one to force an impossible decision 900 years ago. That's 10 years MORE than he lasted as Wang Yeo, since suicide is not an out as a Grim Reaper so he spends every waking moment aware. And the Reaper's love is such an active thing - I imagine that there was never a moment for the rest of his existence where he wasn't aware of the shape and the weight and the way he loves Kim Sunny. That he saw her in every soul he sends to the afterlife that is a little sister or a wife. That every day of those 30 years felt like a fucking eternity and it was just him and this punishment and this sadness and his hindsight being 20/20 and him having to make peace with who he used to be. Who he still is. Because that's what the Almighty wants from him.

ughhhhhhh the tragedyyyyyyyyyyyyy

The silver lining is that his punishment ends when she dies. He's shy and he's not expecting anything - but he's also not surprised that she doesn't appear angry. He's had a really long time to understand that Kim Sun loved him and Kim Sunny loved him and that she is nothing if she is not the love that she feels. Of course she still loves him - that's who she is. So Reaper is not resentful - he's just happy he gets to meet Kim Sunny at 68, who loved him and loved him and never stopped loved him.

He just holds her hand.

And walks up the stairs with her into the final unknown.
