Lookism

Now I know what you might be thinking.....”What the heck kind of name is that?” and if you already know what Lookism is, then I bet you didn’t know that it meant “...discriminatory treatment toward physically unattractive people...”.

Now, if you haven’t guessed, this post is about another Webtoon, but this time it’s a super popular ongoing series by Taejoon Park. Lookism started being published on Webtoons on June 3rd, and has recently taken Webtoons by a storm with over 2 million likes on the site alone, surpassing many series’ that have been around for years longer than the recent comic.

The story is about a high schooler who is deemed as ugly or a “pig” by his peers, making him susceptible to bullying by his more attractive or popular peers. But the story only gets interesting after he switches schools and mysteriously gets the body of an extremely handsome person. And along with this newfound beauty, the body is in peak physical condition, making him stronger than even revered fighters at his new school.

Watching Daniel Park struggle with sharing bodies with his previously ugly body, and his new beautiful body, is extremely captivating because you see him trying to become a better person in both bodies, but because of his outer appearances, he gets completely different responses to his actions depending on which body he’s in. A consistent theme throughout the Webtoon is that you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, no matter how ugly that cover may be. 

The Webtoon truly lives up to it’s name, because a major theme in the story is how different people in society are treated, based on their outward appearance. Personally, I think that his change in bodies, reflect his personality and how we should be treated, but because of the way that we look, we are treated radically different.

I really love this Webtoon for it’s variety of character design and beauty in general. Taejoon is very good at making the attractive characters attractive and unattractive characters unattractive. Overall, a stand out manhwa and deserving of all of your love and praise!!

My next post will hopefully be about Korean fashion, and my take on it, along with some styles that I like to pull off, inspired by my Korean brethren (P.S. It’s mostly....only black on black on black). Stay tuned for my next post!!! Turn on post notifications if you want instant notification when I post!!!!

:Rebirth

“Wouldn’t it be great if life had a rewind button?”

A discover webtoon about a man who was able to go back in time and help prepare his family for a zombie apocalypse.

Noah (shown on the right) is a 32-year-old man who had to go through 7 years of fighting for his life, but when he was offered to “go back in time” he took it, and is now using his knowledge of the future to help his family survive. Neo(shown on the left), his 13-year-old son, is anti-social, outright, and most of all, a dog lover. In the future Neo is the one to stay loyal to Noah, even though he was mistreated and ignored before the events of the apocalypse occur, making moments where Noah is trying to connect with him, a beautiful sight in such a catastrophic world. In this apocalyptic world, an eclipse occurs, and the entire human population falls under a deep slumber, waking up approximately 24 hours later with zombies in their midst.

Although it is not explained completely, somewhere along the way, people and everyday objects become more powerful than they used to be with newfound powers. I feel as if the story has gaps, but even with them, it’s interesting to read the YA zombie apocalypse/fantasy webtoon that I didn’t know I needed in my life. The character design, is superb, the artwork, is stunning, and most importantly, there are some good quality ships ;).

Overall, for a discover webtoon, it’s quite good, it has similar qualities to the first 100 chapters of Tower of God, and hopefully it will run for even longer. Currently at around 50 chapters, there isn’t very much to read, and it doesn’t help that they also vary in length, sometimes you read one and it take it’s around 2 minutes long, other times, you can read one in about 30 seconds, it just depends sometimes.

I hope to see this webtoon become featured one of these days, I suspect in about 20-50 more chapters, it shall, but who knows. Anyways, thanks for reading my first non-featured webtoon blog post, I hope I described it to your liking.

Monday, Septiembre 11

Welp... today we have an assembly and we're suppose to walk aaaall the way to the other building for it. Well I'm glad we're having it so I won't have to sit all of my second class in the theatre because they're fixing the gym. I have no clue when we're suppose to have gym again, and I'm glad it's not soon. I don't even have a gym bag. Lost it last year with clothes in it and everything!

Day 4: The Green Monster

It seems I can only blog after 11pm, which is probably not very good for my sleep schedule. My classes have gotten sufficiently better, I’m content with the people, I like my subject matter, I still kind of wish I had a spare, but other than that I don’t really have any complaints today about the actual school work. My issue of the day: sensitivity/insenstivity. Now I’m a giant fucking sap and can be extremely emotional, hence my anonymous blogging in order to unleash my tidal wave of daily negative emotion. Well it seems that no one else understands that I can, in fact be unhappy with a situation but am too polite or quiet to say. Can you guess what I’m getting at? If you guessed Bex and New Guy you would be correct! Give yourself a cookie. She got his number and snapchat today, and yet is still too nervous to look at him, or send him a selfie. I’m getting incredibly jealous, and am afraid I might be catching feelings. Like real ones. Not the ones Bex has which is “everything he does is cute and he’s so hot, so I’m going to use him to get to Hunter and maybe sleep with him along the way”, but actual feelings. Luckily, I’m in a class with New Guy,  without Mickey and Minnie (my loving name for a couple who is adamantly setting them up, or Bex. Well, maybe not luckily, as I find everything he does attractive. He has smart opinions, his voice sounds like what I can only describe as a pool of honey, and something that matters to me that no one else understands is, HE’S WELL READ. He reads the classics. Today he was discussing with our teacher Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, and I nearly melted into a puddle on the floor. I told Bex and she had no idea what I was talking about of course. Bex is also smart, even though I paint her as a conceited idiot, but she has no interest in whether he reads or plays the piano or is really freaking good at riddles. This fact I also found out today in our English class we are all in. I’m better of course, but he’s alright lol. I’m just afraid that I’ll fall in too deep when Bex is the one he’s into at the moment. I also have this theory, that because Bex is currently on her period, she’s only really interested in New Guy because she’s horny and desperate. By Monday she’ll go back to solely Hunter and I may live in peace, but until then all I can think about is New Guy and how no one else can never know how I feel. I hate keeping secrets, but I guess this time it’s better to save a little face. If she gave him up for me I wouldn’t even know what to do..... I don’t know. Anyways, I’m going to be taking weekends off from blogging, mostly because I don’t have WiFi, but also because this is mostly about my school life. And being a senior. And according to my current theme, boys. I’ll post a weekend update early Monday. Have a good weekend my little mockingbirds! *mwaah blows kiss* Peace

Day 2: So I Ate in the Bathroom Again...

So today wasn’t totally awful. I got my homework done, because it’s the first day and I have to have SOME standards for myself, so that was a nice bonus. The idiots I was previously surrounded by have dispersed, so now I sit in a more...comfortable desk. Also, day 2 and the love drama has already begun. I’m that person who ships people in real life, and this couple is a doozy. A long history, past flirtationship, known each other since they were kids, all that good stuff. Well things are heating up again between.... Bex and Hunter, as they shall now be called. Throw in a new guy, cute returning student, and this could be a romcom for the ages. To be fair, I saw the new guy first, I’ve actually had my eye on him since I was a freshman, so we’ll see if I let Bex have him. She’s only using him to make Hunter jealous anyway. See, like I said, interesting stuff. My classes were more interesting today. The material was less trivial, the people were better and I just felt better today. Sort of. I got stood up for lunch (accidentally) so I ended up eating in a bathroom stall by myself...... not the highlight of my day obviously. I hung out with Bex tonight. She’s cool, and we’re best friends, but I don’t feel like myself. It feels like a dark cloud is hovering over my head all of the time. I’m afraid to speak in class, I feel like my old friends hate me even though we haven’t spoken, and that I’m destined to be alone anyways so it’s better to cut myself off than be rejected. I don’t know, maybe I should see my counsellor. We’ll see. I haven’t picked a new name for New Guy yet, I like his real name, and I’m kind of apprehensive to see where this goes. Gah I’m frazzled. Well, time to go dream the loneliness away. Peace

Day 1: Entering the Lion’s Den

A little forward about me: I’m a cis white female, honor roll student (most of the time) in a school where the population is only about 800. So yeah, my life’s pretty good, but it doesn’t mean I won’t complain about my hardships to strangers who may come across this on the internet. All names will be false, obviously. With that being said: let’s jump in

I walk to school. Every day without fail I take the same path to and from my high school, it’s familiar, but I still get the same rush of terror as I enter the school property that someone is going to laugh at me. For no reason. Today was no different, other than I was running late on my first day so I didn’t have enough time to gave a fuck about what the stoners and smokers guarding the entrance thought. (Not my thing, and most of them are nice, but we’ve got some real assholes at my school, so I’m a bit prejudiced). My main fear for this school year wasn’t the work, and it wasn’t the impending doom I fondly call my future, it was seeing everyone I had cut myself off from when summer began. I used to have a fairly large friend pool, a lot of friends from different cliques and then one main group I hung out with. Now I was down to 3. Barely. Make it two, because one of them I rarely see because she’s an introvert and doesn’t leave her house. I used to have a particular group of people I had been close with since 9th grade but after I royally fucked up one of my friendships, I kind of lost touch with all of them. Now we’re back to basics, even if it is on thin ice,but at least they’re there. But, there was still one friendship I had yet to mend, his name is Matt. I really had a thing for Matt. One of the hottest guys in my grade, also an athlete, and a nerd and an asshole, which for some reason I’m into. Him and I were super close since 10th grade around new years, and the beginning of grade eleven was amazing because we spoke all the time. Until we didn’t. He stopped talking to me in March after I lost touch with our other friends, but he’s the only one who has still frozen me out, when I did nothing to him. Now, I’m pretty much over him, and I’m happy for him and his girlfriend of 6+ months, but he was the person I was most afraid to see today. SORRY FOR THE RAMBLING BUT HE’S GONNA COME UP A LOT SO YOU SHOULD KNOW. My classes were meh, surrounded by friends I’d lost touch with, and popular kids who ignored my existence. It was my first day, and I ate lunch in a hidden stairwell by myself. Great fucking start! I got homework on the first day, that was fun. I’ve been having a generally terrible day, even though essentially nothing has gone wrong. I want to be outgoing, I want to have a lot of friends, and I want to speak up in class. I have lot to say, I’m just afraid no one will listen. I keep my head down in the halls, when I’d love to say hi to people, I eat alone because I’m afraid the kids in the cafeteria won’t want me there, and I avoid talking to Matt and his friends because I’m afraid of rejection when all I want in the world is to be his friend again. I’m becoming a shell of my former self and I hate it. Tomorrow is a new day, let’s see how it goes. I promise all of my entries won’t be this much of a sob story, it’s just been a rough day. I’m going to watch some Gilmore Girls. Peace
