Thoughts for our dear departed 💗🤍💓

[distuff]

Who do you think the Saja Boys were before they became demons and why I’d they turn?

Edited !

Note. One of my detective readers had pointed out the mix-up I've made in the lyrics bits: In the Original post: "Know I'm the only..." = Romance - "Don't let it show, keep it all inside," = Abby Actual singers: "Know I'm the only..." and "Don't let it show, keep it all inside," = Mystery

Amazing Q !! And thankfully, already answered !

Based on what the movie gave mhe (plus the lyrics each boy sang) I built their characters as faithfully to the canon as possible, using every crumb Netflix threw my way. Since there's nothing, I can create anything 🍵

Quick disclaimer (just in case): Any of what I’ve said can definitely be interpreted in other ways. I’m not claiming this is how things are, or that this is any kind of formal analysis. I’m just sharing the thought process behind how I created my versions of the boyz for my stories.

So!

Jinu Saja:

Thankfully, the majority of his bg was already revealed, which made my job way easier, lol.

As for my interpretation (since you asked): I gave his story a little more depth. Once the time Gwi-ma gave him to enjoy the riches ran out, Jinu was dragged into the demon realm, where Gwi-ma devoured his soul - which gave space for jealousy to fully take over Jinu's body - because that’s what got him into this mess in the first place.

I took jealousy as Jinu’s core trait. Jealousy is all about wanting more than what you have, believing others have it better, and never being satisfied. That plays into him wanting to leave the demon realm, thinking retaking his soul will make him happy.

His lyrics can support this too:

"Give me your desire. I'll be the star you rely on."

Jealousy is insatiable, and the more others rely on him, the more he should have, right?

Abs Saja:

Ah yes, Abby Boi!

Just from his physique and glimpses of personality, I imagine he was a warrior in his past life. Maybe he fought in wars, or maybe he was just a high-ranking guard. Either way, his core seems cocky - overconfident, even. Which led me to how he ended up making a contract with Gwi-ma.

If Jinu was selfish and had to learn selflessness, then I applied a similar pattern to Abs.

In his past life, maybe his overconfidence led to him losing someone he deeply cared about. He refused to accept responsibility, instead blaming everyone and everything. That’s when Gwi-ma appeared - offering him the chance to plead his case, to be seen as innocent... in exchange for his soul.

Abby took the deal. He was saved, just like promised, but it didn’t last. The moment he thought he was free, Gwi-ma returned and dragged him to the demon realm. His soul was taken. His overconfidence? Replaced by cowardice.

It can be see in the movie - he takes orders easily, enjoys himself more than the others, since following Jinu’s and Gwi-ma’s commands lets him stay consequence-free.

His lyrics:

"Anytime it hurts, play another verse, I can be your sanctuary."

I interpreted it as him saying that if one path is causing pain, you should turn to someone else for guidance - because then, any consequences fall on the one who gave the advice, not the one who asked for it. That shift in responsibility gives the person seeking help a sense of peace. Essentially, it shows that obedience can bring a kind of peace.

Mystery Saja:

I believe Mystery was royalty in his past life. Whether highly influential or not doesn’t change much about his character, but I do think he had status.

Everything about him - his movements, his posture, even his singing voice - is so controlled and smooth. It feels practiced. Refined.

Now, why would a royal make a deal with Gwi-ma? Well... a human’s still a human.

We know almost nothing about him - man’s just standing there like a pole with the bare minimum of expression - but that actually gave me a lot to work with. I imagined he was killed (poisoned maybe?). He doesn't know who or why or how.

All these questions - why me? who did it? what was the reason? -were driving him mad. Gwi-ma offered him the answers... in exchange for his soul. Mystery agreed, caring little about the consequences.

He got the answers. But was he satisfied? NoPe. Because the killer’s motive turned out to be... an accident. Nothing intentional. It wasn't even supposed to be Mystery who died.

So down to the demon realm he went! Now he lives for control. He has to know what’s happening at all times - because if he does, accidents can’t happen again.

As for why I think he was royalty? I’ll admit, it’s a bit of a stretch (delulu hat on), but:

"More than power, more than gold"

That lyric struck me. He says he’ll love the fans more than power or gold - but you can’t compare love to something you’ve never experienced. So if he can compare, it’s likely he’s had both in a past life.

Also:

"Don't let it show, keep it all inside, The pain and the shame, keep it out of sight."

Can be taken as him being subjected to... disciplinary measures if ya will, to look composed or without emotions as a sign of perfection, which is seen as important when one is of noble blood.

Romance Saja:

With this man’s entire theme, I couldn’t resist building a backstory tied to a brothel.

He was adored. Cherished. One of the most beautiful the house had to offer. But over time, someone new came along of course, stealing the spotlight. He was labelled used goods. In a place like that, it means a fall from grace - less money, fewer privileges.

So what does Romance do? *Dialling Gwi-ma.

He made a deal: to become the most desired again. Not freedom - because let’s be honest, if you've been in a cage since childhood, how would you even know there's life beyond it?

He agreed, hesitantly. Traded his soul for love. (Or at least for the illusion of being wanted again - details~)

Eventually, he died from mistreatment. His body just couldn’t handle it anymore.

In the demon realm, he became self-inflated since he desired shallow love.

His lyrics:

"At this moment, give me all your attention"

That just added fuel to the fire of the personality I build around him.

Baby Saja:

Ah yes, the fan favourite. And I totally get why. But I’m too objective to go easy on this lil gremlin.

If you’ve read my Baby Saja story, you probably have some idea how I imagine he became a demon.

Given his “cute” face, I saw him as someone sold into slavery by his parent(s). I took it due to his constant oral fixation - always needing to suck on something - could come from having no mother, or a neglectful one. Either way, his core issue is the lack of maternal care from a young age.

Now, does that mean he has “mommy issues”? Personally, no. Baby feels more like someone who uses that oral habit to stay grounded, so he doesn’t snap. Not bcs he craves to be taken care of, the opposite actually.

Sold. Tortured. Exposed to life’s unfairness to the extreme - one doesn't have time to think of something he never even experienced. Eventually, he died.

But here’s the twist - he wasn’t full of rage. He felt empty. Beaten into numbness. That’s why, out of all five boys, Baby was the only one who had a choice: heaven or the demon realm. But alas!

Gwi-ma awakened the rage that had long been buried, promising Baby that through revenge, he would finally find peace, in exchange for his soul of course. Baby agreed. His mind now clear, but his body still remembers.

That’s why he struggles with soft touches. He prefers rougher, more playful physical affection. He needs to be the one to initiate closeness, because if he’s the one reaching out, he controls the pace.

His lyrics?

"Thank you for the pain, because it got me going viral."

In my head, it’s him telling the fans: Through the pain you put me through - making me dance, sing, perform, degrade myself for your entertainment - I became famous. I succeeded in my mission. You thought you had me in your hands, when really you were the one who fell into my trap.

. . .

Hope this answered your question readershi and that it makes sense (￣▽￣*)ゞ

If not pls don't hesitate to comment under this post, dm mhe or ask for elaboration! I always love talkin' to my readers ( ´ ꒳ ` )

. . .

PS: I sincerely apologise for the mix-up. Even if I did not use the lyrics as evidence for the characteristics I've given the boyz, it is still unfair to leave it unchanged. Once again, I would like to thank the lil detective who pointed this out! You have my honest thanks ♡

To jest temat który poruszam tu po raz setny

Każdy dzień utwierdza mnie co raz bardziej w przekonaniu że ja nie mogę nic mówić. Niby ciągle to powtarzam że nie mogę nikomu nic powiedzieć ale to było bardziej użalanie się nad soba. Teraz naprawdę zaczynam uważać że nie mogę nic powiedzieć

Dziś próbowałem powiedzieć coś mojemu przyjacielowi, ventowac się trochę to w połowie mojej rozprawki powiedział żebyśmy wypili sobie herbatę. Pomyślałem „giga fajnie, wypijemy ciepłą herbatkę i może uda mi się zrzucić trochę rzeczy z siebie”. W połowie mojego zdania włączył radio i zaczął drzeć mordę do piosenki którą tam leciała nie dając mi dokończyć

Psycholog w szkole wziął mnie na rozmowę, podpytał o coś i głównie odpowiadałem mu na pytania bo nie chciałem nic mówić to powiedział że wzywa moją matkę i wsm to on nie wie jak mi pomóc

Terapeutka sama powiedziała zanim mnie wyjebała na zbity pysk ze nie wie co ze mną zrobić

Mój chłopak też mnie nie słucha a każda próba powiedzenia jak się czuję kończy się tym że on się czuję źle przez to że ja się czuję źle i muszę go pocieszać po czym udawać że u mnie wszystko git

Nie mam nigdzie wsparcia, każda próba otwarcia się jest jak wyrok śmierci. Może naprawdę jestem skazany na wieczne milczenie??

at times in life you decide it’s best to just let go of everything and not let if affect you anymore for the damage it causes you emotionally and mentally is not worth it as you are the only one who suffers and not anyone else

[ivy-verse]

In a never-ending quest to find happiness,

Too tired to start again,

Yet too stubborn to give up.

Drowned in sorrow,

Then I saw myself

Hiding in plain sight

Blue Hill

​Have you ever felt a deep longing to go somewhere far away?

Yes, to that hill

The one that looks far north from your attic

Blue

The hill is blue and the sky is grey

Since childhood, I always wanted to go far out there

Wondering if there was

Green grass and little yellowish flowers

With spacious, wide open clouds

Just a peaceful blue sky

Where the sun never burns

Only a nice breeze blowing through the pollen

And we would run beautifully in white dresses

Then I went there

When I had grown up

But what I had in mind wasn't there at all

There was only a dense, crowded sea of settlement

For those who came from everywhere

With black pools of public baths

Stained with grime overgrown with moss

And their houses made of thin flimsy wood

Where is the blue hill I saw back then?

I went home still carrying that image

An image that was still alive as my feet stepped into my attic

Maybe

Just maybe

The flower field is actually behind that hill

That gentle sky is behind all of it

When we go far

Really far

Beyond the rolling hills of your fantasy and dreams

(not proof read just α quick thought)

thinking abt being friends ω hackle and so he sometimes brings you with him but he always, always warned you abt oscar, “love him but watch out with him, seriously.” 𐓣 u really tried to listen to ur friend, god knows he’d kill him if he ever found out that you’ve been eye fucking each other, then you started becoming eager to go with him. says it’s to “get used to your friends” but you’d mostly end up fluttering your eyelashes whenever you looked at him, doing your makeup very nice, wearing the most beautiful thing you own to come see your bff’s friend. first week youve been visiting n hanging out with them— he’d grab into the small of your back, “hey y/n” he said with such sultry in his voice. sometimes hes even scoot onto his favourite side of the couch, just so you could end up sitting there—right where he’d want you.

thé thought of you guys just talking whenever your greeting your bffs friend group/circle, just to end up doing all that for the one that’s caught your eye. you wouldn’t dare to show interest into him, atleast publicly—Hackle would kill you for your own sake, but you’d still make it clear that you wanted something from Oscar, atleast α kiss…maybe more than α kiss? so you’d wrap your arms around his neck when you guys hugged, whispering into his ear “hey oscar, how’ve you been?” pulling away and looking up into his eyes, filled with desire. He smiles and leans closer to you, not too close, but close enough to whisper in your ear “been amazing today Y/N, You dressin’ up like that for me orr” he looks at the outfit you had on and chuckles “joking. you look good,seriously”

u smile, “maybe ι did” you shrugged, walking away from him, you had to or else people would start to find it weird.
