#hopping on trends #the song is literally called naksu #its her introduction in the show and i just scream

someone said:

it’s that brand of secret sexism that demands traditionally masculine strength from female characters for them to be considered empowered or well written

and i would like to have this tattooed on my FACE

#it was specifically about naksu which GO OFF #but also this phenomenon shows up so frequently and i am AAAA #ੈ ₊ ✧ ˖ BRAINROT ‚ ﹕ 009.

i think giving cho yeong the choice to relax and step away from being the “physically strong assassin mage” was a well thought-out twist, and cho yeong not having any active fighting scenes doesn’t make her any less powerful or strong. it’s almost like a reassurance, like telling her that she can relax, she can rest easy now knowing that the burden of revenge and death will not be weighing on her shoulders anymore, that she doesn’t need to train heavily out of survival or to be a weapon anymore. yes, we wanted more fighting scenes from her but we didn’t account for the fact that we have been seeing her fight all along: for herself, for her memories, for her life, for love, peace, comfort. she provided so much support in a multitude of ways, and continues to do so without needing to be a fighting machine. i don’t think her powers got stripped or that her arc got taken and given to someone else. cho yeong got to grow beyond the prison made by those who manipulated and exploited her, and that is more powerful than anything.

#lmao my post popped off so im reiterating my thoughts here #many thoughts about yeong being stripped bare and molded into a weapon #manipulated into thinking she was bringing justice for her father #and then used and used and used #she's so mf strong and i love her

rewatching aos and realizing i REALLY go for the blue coded girlies and no matter how much i try to go with a different color palette,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i will revert to the Roots

#naksu wore primarily blue in part 1 and pale pinks in part 2 until the end when she went back to blue #and #her birds egg is blue #so #u know #i rlly clowned myself thinkin i could do purpple #but NAW #she shall be blue <3

one of my most favorite naksu edits and you will all perceive it with me thank u

#im so spoiled................i love the fandom that loves her #this creator's mind is so big and juicy the amount of edits they make #and teh quality??? ?deliicious

#ੈ ₊ ✧ ˖ STUDY ‚ ﹕ 007.#i was very .....................caught with the seasons #and im still not sure

naksu in droyi coire is the same as canon except this takes place in vedred <3 and yes i WILL make soul shifting a thing in droyi coire bc why not (-: and my default route for her will be hunting down relics that escaped from one of the fortresses after it crumbled, so she’s like a cute lil monster hunter

#HEHE #until taj and tas finish part 2 #i am being purposely vague #so this means i will be vague for like two years #but its ok

i need to make an rp meme for aos bc “i cannot believe he fed me chicken just to sell me to this place” is iconic and needs to be spread

#and all the more reason for me to rewatch.................again.....................for the nth time #sorry for spamming dash i am simply just brrrrrr #ੈ ₊ ✧ ˖ BRAINROT ‚ ﹕ 009.

for consistency purposes and for non aos-centric verses, i’ll be referring to yeong as naksu in her narrative purely for the arc i’ll be currently exploring her in. her birthname, yeong, comes into play after a lot of growth, healing, and self-acceptance. while this has occurred in canon, it’ll be reserved for plotted out dynamics and for those who get to know her more <3 so if your muse met her before the shift and she isn’t in another body, it’ll be naksu. if she’s currently in another body, your muse will refer to her as mudeok ( or naksu, depending on what we plot! ).

so i’m thinking a lot about a general urban fantasy verse, and how this will focus more on her loss of self and being stuck in a vessel that’s like a prison to her. her mind is awake but her body isn’t, because it isn’t her body, and it doesn’t have the same level of strength and abilities that she’s spent her entire life training for. thinking about those with supernatural connections being able to sense an extra presence within her ( bc ,,,,,, well there is but thats another post LMAO ). like i think i might place her as a secretary or an assistant to a higher up figure ( just the more modern equivalent to being a maid ) and it being sus that she’s ordering them around and basically planning everything behind the scenes.

#IT'LL BE SO FUNNY ACTUALLY IF UR MUSE WERE TO INTERACT WITH HER IN THIS VERSE BEFORE SHE GETS TAKEN IN #BECAUSE THEN U GET TO SEE HER PRETENDING TO BE BLIND AND FAILING LMAO #either way #pspspspspspsps #ੈ ₊ ✧ ˖ BRAINROT ‚ ﹕ 009.

bc edits are my love language and this is how i shall peacock y’all into loving this show too

#ੈ ₊ ✧ ˖ BRAINROT ‚ ﹕ 009.#its truly just the chaos of it all #don't be fooled by its comedic side its very angsty too

quick little crash course for naksu <3

naksu, originally born as yeong, witnessed her father killed when she was a child and was taken in by a slimy man who trained her into an assassin. she became an extremely skilled and powerful mage from a young age, having reached all stages much faster than most mages. she basically just killed whoever the slimy man, known as gangju, targeted for her. she's fostered vengeance her entire life to go after those who played a role in killing her father. then she nearly dies in an altercation with another powerful mage, causing her to practice the alchemy of souls ( banned practice that results in someone ejecting their soul into this glass circle thing and then moving their soul into another body ). she ends up in a body that's known as mudeok, and was previously blind. the move into mudeok rendered her weak and powerless, so she seeks out ways to get her abilities back. unfortunately, her original body is burned </3 so she's really stuck as mudeok. meets another dude who's been struggling to become a mage so she promises to train him so long as he can help her get her powers back. as mudeok, she plays a maid to one of the powerful mage families ( also the dude she's training ).

the basics of her story will be transferrable into literally every verse, with the exception of a modern powerless verse where she would just be an assassin who has to lay low for a while and disguise as someone else.

for interaction purposes, by default she'll be in her assassin era !
