Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 역대급 영지 설계사 | The Greatest Estate Developer (Webcomic) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Javier Asrahan/Kim Suho | Lloyd Frontera Characters: Kim Suho | Lloyd Frontera, Javier Asrahan, Arcos Frontera Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - High School, Eventual Romance, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting Summary:

"This man with an uncanny resemblance to the young master is Kim Suho, a civil engineering student."

"What if... I take Lloyd's place? Just temporarily, until graduation?"

Being mistaken as the runaway heir of Frontera Estate Corp just after losing his construction job and scholarship, Kim Suho was determined to make the most out of the situation by offering to impersonate Lloyd Frontera for his last year of high school. But is his roommate, Javier Asrahan, actually going to help him get through the year in a breeze or will his suspicions put Suho in more trouble?

I just published my small contribution to the TGED fandom! It's a modern high school AU loosely based on the premise of Back to the Highteen, and I promise there will be romance... Eventually 😅 And Suho making lots of money as a Lloyd impersonator lol. Would be happy if you'd read it and share your thoughts!

Do y’all know about Frédéric Thomas? He is a French parasitologist who heard a story about crickets in New Zealand leaping into the water even though they can’t swim, and immediately speculated this suicidal behavior was related to behavior manipulation from an internal parasite. This is before neuro-parasitology was a field at all, and before people really put much stock into parasite’s ability to control animal behavior.

Thomas was certain that studying these crickets would be a huge priority for the scientific world given the implications of a parasite controlling an animal’s actions in such an insidious way. Unfortunately, absolutely nobody would fund Thomas’ expedition to study the crickets, and his grants were all declined. In a wild move that showcases the balls to the wall, near- insanity level passion of a biologist, Thomas declared a hunger strike and wrote a letter to the president of France saying he would not eat until someone took the matter seriously and funded his study on the suicidal crickets. I feel like those of us in research can at least a little bit understand this impulse.

Well the French government actually got Thomas’ message and freaked out a bit at the negative publicity that could arise from a crazy worm scientist starving to death. So they send some government bigwigs to the university to pressure Thomas and his department heads into calling an end to the hunger strike. In the flurry of attention that resulted from this, a Swiss billionaire heard about Thomas’ plight and offered to partially fund the study. The French government was happy to get rid of Thomas and contributed funding as well so that Thomas could head to New Zealand to study his suicidal crickets. He was right about the parasites causing the behavior!

The hunger strike debacle is not even the wildest part of this story. I love biology so much

What's the wildest?? You can't leave us hangin' like this.

Okay so get this, after all that Frédéric Thomas gets everything together and flies halfway across the world to New Zealand and… he can’t find the crickets. I mean, he finds some but apparently this species of cricket is really hard to track and as a result Thomas’ team cannot capture enough to yield significant results for their study.

Thomas was forced to abandon the project and leave New Zealand, but before he did he sent a photo of a worm emerging from a cricket back to his colleagues in France. Naturally, the photo was posted in the university break room. While the photo was posted there, it was somehow seen by one of the scientists cousin who worked cleaning pools. In a bizarre twist, the cousin recognized the worm. He claimed to see them all the time in a pool that he cleaned for a local resort and also said that he had observed crickets jumping into the pool at night.

By this time Thomas was back in France but he was highly skeptical that the pool cleaner’s information was correct. He gave the guy a jar and asked him to bring some samples of the worms thinking he’d never hear from him again. Well sure enough about a week later Thomas received a jar that was chock full of worms. Specifically the species Paragordius tricuspidatus, which are parasitic horsehair worms and exactly what Thomas had desperately been trying to find inside of his crickets in New Zealand. He had travelled halfway across the world just to realize that the parasite he wished to study could be found at a hotel about an hour from his house.

Thomas’ wife was delighted when he informed her he’d booked a surprise getaway at a luxury resort, but of course she didn’t know this trip was actually a brain parasite reconnaissance mission. Thomas spent time by the pool at night and sure enough he saw crickets crawling to the water’s edge and hopping in, one by one. Thomas and his colleagues were able to use this location to find a thriving population of horsehair worms to study. Their experiments confirmed that the worms were manipulating insect brains to further their life cycle, and the results of these studies were eventually published in the journal Nature!

No but why was he looking at that conch like that? Did he really think she was gonna call him on that damn shellphone after he killed her mom?

Nah y’all our boy is unhinged, DELUSIONAL but most of all DOWN HORRENDOUS!

Mom, is it weird that I just don't see anything canonically romantic about Levi and Erwin's relationship??? I can see that it's a special bond but I feel almost bad for not seeing it as romantic in canon at all when so many people say so. Even with the excerpt from the recent interview, it didn't seem necessarily romantic but there was certainly the affirmation of an unconditional love that can naturally be shipping fuel. I dunno, I just feel weird for not seeing it :/

I’m bundling these asks together because it’s  funny to me that they came in at the same time

Anon 2, I‘m addressing you first. Thank you for the compliment but I feel like I should correct you. The truth is that I don’t try to stay neutral. There is nothing neutral about how I feel. There is nothing neutral about how I interpret the canon manga or the interviews like the one we’ve just gotten. I see the story a certain way and I am delighted when the manga, art, supplemental materials and interviews support my feelings. 

What I try to do is be fair. I recognize that we all read the story differently and have our individual preferences. I want to be respectful of those. Just because I ship something doesn’t mean everyone has to ship it. Just because I feel like I am right doesn’t mean that everyone else is wrong.  It’s canon to me. I feel like the creators enjoy it too. But it’s not my place to tell anyone, “You must not ship anything but this!!” If I adamantly say “it’s canon”, I’d feel like I’m doing exactly that.

Anon 1, a quick glance at my dash any day of the week would indicate that you are not weird since many people feel like you do. It’s fine that you don’t see it as “romantic in canon”. Neither do I. I’d bet that a lot of eruris don’t see it as “romantic in canon” either. It’s the other part of your sentence that’s the draw for many of us. You called it “unconditional love”. That’s #goals.

I know @lostcauses-noregrets​ has written about this, and I’ve talked about it as well. “Romantic” is a funny word. I’m in a happy long term relationship but if someone asked me to describe it, “romantic” would not be the first word that jumps to mind. Probably not the second or third either. It might not even make the first page. I’d almost guarantee you that’s true of most adult relationships.  The things that matter to me most are trust, commitment and mutual respect. I’d put humor there as well. Those are my keys to a great relationship. And that’s what I see with Erwin and Levi.

I have the shikishi board of this official art. I love it because my partner also brings me my first cup of coffee each and every morning. Is that “romantic”? Given the choice of a cup of coffee or something traditionally romantic like flowers delivered to me each day, I know which I would pick.

tl:dr; Romance is great, but it’s often displayed in untraditional ways. Trust, deep respect, and commitment are my choice again and again. It’s what I like about my own relationship and what I appreciate most about fictional ones. 

Thanks for the asks!!

i just wanna say thank you to cloak and dagger for giving me slowburn tyrondy like that’s what i deserve….. literal Soulmates who fight evil and have to work through their trauma together and build up trust with one another… even though they feel like opposites they are the only people who can really understand what the other is going through… they fight and mess up but ultimately learn to care about each other at the end of the season and help encourage the other to be a better person….. and on top of that this shit is so slowburn that they literally couldn’t touch each other for a whole season like this is some good shit ty cad for my life…
