Please look at my kitten! He's a 4 week old rescue. So glad we could give him a safe home.

Here I go again back on my bullshit about dramas that no one who follows me particularly cares about but

There’s a moment in Something in the Rain episode 2 where Junhee and Seungho are outside with Gyumin and Seungho is at first confused as to why Junhee would step in to play Jinah’s boyfriend in the first place but then Junhee just says “he cheated on her” and that apparently just explains everything away for Seungho and without asking any more quesitons as to Junhee’s involvement or his attachment to Jinah or anything at all, he just sends Gyumin away and scolds Junhee for not telling him sooner. 

This is a decent example of characterization being shown and not told. Seungho knows Junhee well, they’re friends and they hang out often. So much so that later on, Seungho warns Jinah that she doesn’t know Junhee as well as he does and that “Junhee really doesn’t give people a second chance” when they hurt him. Seungho acts as an interpreter for an aspect of Junhee that the main character and therefore the viewpoint audience might not be able to understand as well, which is the fact that his judgements of morality are hard and final rules as to how he views interactions. Later, when Seungho sees that Gyumin has compromising pictures of Jinah that he’s using to emotionally blackmail her, he asks Junhee specifically how he can hurt Gyumin now that he’s crossed Seungho’s personal morality line because Seungho views Junhee as a pillar of justice because he’s so ready to jump in to enact it when someone even barely violates that. 

So the point of this scene is to demonstrate how well Seungho knows Junhee as well as Junhee’s overarching sense of morality and action. When Seungho hears from Junhee that “Gyumin cheated on Jinah”, it is immediately believable that Junhee saw Jinah talking to Gyumin and stepped in to rescue her because that’s who Junhee is, when Junhee perceives an injustice, he immediately decides how he feels about the person who committed it and is willing to act on that decision within a second, and because Seungho knows this about him just the fact that there was an injustice committed is enough to immediately explain Junhee’s involvement and the incident as a whole with very little information and trusting that his friend is telling the truth. Remember, Seungho is the translator through which Jinah and we as the audience are able to understand Junhee’s sense of morality, and so this scene is just a way for us to see that sense of morality and how Seungho views it as a whole in a quick and easy way, helping us understand Junhee as a character better.

I started Stardew Valley last night and now I don't wanna play or do anything else ever. I'm working my way to romancing Elliott, we already have 1 heart and I'm trying to save up to plant a pomegranate tree so I can get him a pomegranate for his birthday. I've probably got 1/4 of my farm cleared out and I'm steadily getting it all gone. I'm so excited and this little farming simulator is my only source of serotonin

Can someone please find me the audio of My Dick Don't Work? I know I've reblogged it before but I can't find it :(

Okay but Yixing’s mindset here is really exposed entirely in that one moment, that just... he stares for a second and then says, “how do you think you did?”. He’s entirely aware of the praise from Jolin Tsai and from the trainees behind him, he’s entirely aware that the performance was good, but he’s also entirely aware that it could’ve been so much better. What that tells us, that one phrase, is that he recognizes potential in Mingming and Yechen. He saw the potential in the performance and he sees the level they can maybe reach one day and he wants that for them. If he believed they couldn’t make it, he would’ve just lectured them about “why did you come here with that mindset”, but he didn’t. Instead he looked them in the eyes and said that everyone may be praising them, but he knows they’re capable of so much more, and even asking, do they know they’re capable of more, do they know they could’ve done better. Yixing wants to praise them, he wants to tell them they’re good, he wants to appreciate them as dancers, but he also wants them to know that he sees that they aren’t reaching the highest level they can, they aren’t making their full potential, and he’s giving them the chance to prove they can work their way up to where they truly belong.

Found the tears. This show(?) is so amazing and I'm still not done. I got to the part where Lup and Barry have their duet and like everyone notice and see their love and things are being set in motion and God that hit me like a ton of bricks. I can't even really explain it but it was just so powerful to me
