we don’t talk enough about them😔😔
I know I don't actually post around here, only lurk, but I wanted to talk a little about the newest chapter because. well. yeah. For me personally, it felt like a total destruction of any remnants of old lookism. Not old old lookism with the schools and all that, but old lookism that while it was mostly about fighting, the character's plots weaved together while still respecting their own individual values.
Jake wanted to protect Big Deal and find Sinu. Sinu just wanted a happy life for Big Deal and Jake while enjoying his own romance. Daniel's whole goal was justice. Back then, the plan was beat Charles and then beat Workers. Johan just wanted to help his mom. Eli wanted to protect his home. The list goes on and on, but the point is they all had a reason for being part of the plot of Lookism.
But now what? Sinu is helping save the woman that literally took him captive from a twisted obsession. Johan has dragged himself back into the scene despite finally getting the normal life he wanted. And Daniel? He's helping the organization that he swore to defeat.
Even if they had to help workers, why couldn't they help Mandeok? Sure, still not the greatest option, but far far better than saving freaking Mitsuki. Literally none of this makes any sense at all, both in terms of plot and viewer enjoyment (I'm ignoring all the lookism glazers for this point don't bring them up).
As someone that accepted and was even happy that Johan was no longer part of the plot despite him being my favorite character, every part of this arc feels like spitting on his character. He, according to literally everything we know about him, doesn't care. Unless his mother is at risk, he has no reason to be here.
If this was about old characters, what about Gun and Goo? You know, the people that actually enjoyed the system and could reap some benefits from joining the fray? Out of all the characters PTJ could've chosen to bring back, why Johan and Sinu, the two that quite literally have no reason to?
I know this is a long long rant from someone who's going to continue reading regardless, but it just fundamentally upset me. Despite the quality dropping (in my opinion) after 517, I've still found enjoyment in the series? But this? This just feels pointless and borderline insulting to the rest of the series.
I don't even know anymore, I just know that I'm mad and I had to write out my thoughts somehow.
lookism characters that should meet (or interact more)
doing ANYTHING but studying 😋
gun and kouji
interacted briefly during stalker arc...and they both hate each other like i KNOW they were funny af as a duo. kouji defo cackled when he saw gun getting arrested on the news

and then he starts rapping in front of dg 😭😭 and allied stand there like 😦
can ptj put dg in funny and awkward situations pleaseee
crystal and jake
crystal: neglectful father, living in charles' shadow (daughter of HNH group's ceo), father was a member of gapryong's fist, father died under mysterious circumstances, crystal would know his suicide seems suspicious and likely wants to investigate his death + background - would lead her down the path of pre gen and gapryong's murder, FINE AF.
jake: neglectful father, living in gapryong's shadow (son of gapryong kim), father led gapryong's fist, father died under mysterious circumstances, jake knows charles had james 🔪 gapryong but doesn't know HOW it went down - wants to look into pre gen and gapryong's murder, FINE AF.
HMMM I'M NOOTICING!!! 🤨☝🏽 the wheels in the head are turning!!!
eli and johan
johan joins j high's beauty department and the girls there go CRAZY because there's another HOT guy joining. all the girls flock over to them. johan stands there like 🧍🏻♂️.

vin jin says something like aren't you the elementary school graduate with fucked up eyes?! and johan's expression darkens. everyone's like OMG vin jin is in for it now 😧

succumbed to the brainrot ...
Can I request a fic for Johan and a reader where they are friends but he has a secret crush on her one day they're hanging out and the reader is doing Johans hair and he keeps moving. So she holds his head in place using her thighs. He finally ends up snapping and confronting her about knowing about his feelings and to stop playing with them.
unspoken truths | johan seong x reader
summary: when a simple moment with johan takes an unexpected turn, the tension becomes impossible to ignore. but sometimes, it only takes one bold move to uncover the truth.
author's note: my first request!! anyway i promised i would post a fic after i went to go vacay at singapore but then i got sick OOPS. MY BAD YALL 🏃💨 | masterlist
The two of you were seated in your room, a familiar space where you’d spent countless hours over the years you've known each other. The sunlight streaming through the window caught the strands of his chestnut-brown hair, which was, as always, an unruly mess.
“Your hair’s a disaster.” you teased, grabbing a comb from your desk.
Johan shot you a flat look, though a faint blush crept to his cheeks. “It’s fine the way it is.”
“Not while I’m here, it’s not.” you countered, taking a seat behind him on the bed. You began working through the strands, carefully parting and combing.
“Stop moving,” you said, exasperated as he shifted slightly for the third time.
“I’m not moving...” he muttered, but the stubborn smirk tugging at his lips told you otherwise.
“Yes, you are. If you don’t hold still, I’m never going to finish.”
“I didn’t ask you to do this.” he quipped.
You rolled your eyes. “Fine. If you’re going to be difficult, I’ll make you stay still.”
PLS A MOMENT BETWEEN FEM READER AND YOHAN WHERE THE LATTER REALISES HOW BEAUTIFUL FEM READER WAS ALL ALONG AS THEY WATCH THE SUNSET TOGETHER 🙏🙏🙏
Seeing You - Johan x Fem!Reader
