living with chronic illness & pain feels like trying to play 4D chess against a godlike entity who is making the game go on forever because if you die they die and they dont wanna lose you either. you're all they have.

We've all felt this pain.

hi! i'd really like to know whats the difference between social worker and the usual service? does the usual service got longer working hour(?) and can idols still visit their company yk like to discuss their schedule for after discharged?

hi!!

btw js a disclaimer, i'm NAWT a professional or well versed about conscription in korea. everything i say is js knowledge that i know from my parents/relatives/bsf so pls pls PLSSS take it all w a grain of salt

but social work is non-military work assigned to those who are not suited for the traditional military work that most soldiers go through. this may be because of mental health or physical health complications or for whatever other reason that makes said soldier difficult to serve on active duty.

this can mean working in an office, institution, district offices, civil service hall, community centers, etc.

so the usual "normal" service that soldiers go through vary depending on what branch they serve (roka, marine corps, navy, air force) but the general idea is that you're living in barracks with fellow soldiers and you're training in case war ever breaks out. once you're discharged, you're immediately put on the reserve roster so you could be summoned by the government if they think that you're needed for whatever it is. i'm not sure if civil service workers are exempted from that but they do go through basic training at boot camp so there's a high chance they'll also be on the reserve roster.

active duty soldiers are only ever allowed to go home during leaves so while social workers go home after working 9-5, active duty soldiers are still on grounds. so even when they're resting, they're really not.

the duration in which active duty soldiers serve vary (roka & marine corps: 1 year 6 months, navy: 1 year 8 months, air force: 1 year 9 months) but most people enlist in roka since it's the shortest (marine corps is known for being rlly rlly strict and difficult so no one really enlists for it) and those who are serving in civil work serve 1 year 9 months since it is "lighter" work compared to active duty soldiers.

and as for whether idols can visit their company, i have no clue LMAO i'm sure they keep in contact with each other but i highly doubt the idols want to see the company any more than they have to. i think their activities and plans would be discussed after they're discharged. kinda like a 'cross that bridge when we get to it' kind of thing? obviously i have no idea since i don't know how kpop companies operate and handle their enlisted members, this is just my guess lmao

this got a little length but i hope this helped!! again, i am NAWT at all whatsoever an expert or anything on this subject. if i learn more from my parents, i'll edit this post but again PLS. I'M A NINETEEN YEAR OLD UNI STUDENT IN THE US. i've never been and i don't plan on enlisting anytime soon so take everything with a grain of salt please and THANK YEWWW

afraid of bugs: YES ALL OF THEM GET THEM OFF ME GET THEM AWAY KILL THEM ALL I DONT WANT THEM I DONT NEED THEM EW

advice for ten year old me: oh lordy um. be quiet. just shut up kid you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. you’re gonna come to a realization when you’re about seventeen and that’s gonna explain a lot about why you are the way you are and it’s not anything to be embarrassed by but good lord you’ll save yourself a lot of humiliation in the future if you just shut the fuck up

also don’t date that person when youre 14 it’s not fair to them due to another realization you hit when you’re about 18 or 19

a 5D's headcanon: after Antimony dies, all the members of Team 5D's keep leaving a space for him in their lives. So Jack and Crow pay to reserve seats for him at their Riding Duel tournaments, Rua and Ruka make a shrine of Bruno's old stuff at their penthouse, and Yusei names all the particles and new tools he gets after his old friend all through medical school.

(confession i only made it to the earthbound gods part of 5Ds idk who these funky ass future robots are and it took me a sec to realize Antimony is Bruno’s real name. Sounds like anchovy)  OHHHH THE SHRINE PART KILLS ME the broken glasses are front and center, and they get him a new tool from the Sears fathers day sale every year. Also I like the idea of some poor high school student in the future looking up the reason some big important scientific theory is named the Bruno ___ and then crying for a few hours

Spirits roamed this forest as sure as the leaves that twisted through the wind, falling to the ground in erratic dance. A long time ago, so far back that Lailah couldn’t remember when, she was sure she had lived here too. Perhaps as a human, she imagined, but regardless this is where she was now, trapped within the boundaries of the forest. Others lived here too, mainly spirits and creatures, and humans that passed but couldn’t see her. Not all of the residents were as kind as her. 

But, this place was partly her domain now, tied to it as she was, and she’d had centuries to hone her powers. 

Which was why when the body of a dead girl turned up, strung up from a tree, Lailah hadn’t known what to think. She’d felt the disturbance earlier, like rotten eggs permeating the air, but had been too late to arrive. And now, again, the smell filled the air, making her stomach dropped. Something bad was happening. 

This time she followed it to the area of the lake, though nothing immediate stuck out to her. The air was unnaturally still, no animals or noises or even a breeze to grace her cheek. Lailah moved towards the edge of the water then paused. Something was floating in it.
