idk if anyone has corn plated this but i love santos getting handed the coffee & immediately handing it to whitaker so much. such an unimportant detail to the script but sooo key to their early characterization. they’re so cute 2 me
Zora N. Hurston, 'Their Eyes Were Watching God'
i am SICK AND TIRED of people saying that “sangihun is brother-coded/cousin-coded” or “sangihun is a direct parallel to hwang brothers and so shipping them is practically incest”
while HDH compares their relationship to that of a fraternal one, the key word there is COMPARES. nowhere does it state they are brothers. nowhere does it state they see each other as brothers. god forbid childhood friends fall in love i guess
this parallel is used to emphasize how strong their bond is. it is used as a comparison of sorts.
not to mention we literally see them have different moms?? is this not more proof.
“but you can see somebody as a sibling not by blood!!” okay. fair point. i do see some of my friends in more of a sibling manner. but THOSE THINGS CAN BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. one is not always entitled to see their childhood friends as siblings. there is nothing to imply they see each other this way though. especially not with all the freaky eyefucking oh my god.
“hyung”, as we all should know by now, is used between close males. that is in no way further proof. besides, not to pull the homophobia card but i am certain people would have less of that belief if one of them were a woman.
this isn’t about personal interpretations. i can’t stop you there. but PLEASE stop spreading misinformation like “they see each other as brothers”. that is an OPINIONATED INTERPRETATION, not a fact. especially since their dynamic, regardless of how you interpret it, is EXTREMELY important to the plot.
please for the love of god stop it. and STOP CALLING MY FELLOW SANGIHUN SHIPPERS INCESTUOUS.
xoxo, mama sangihun (i guess that’s me now?? 😭)
this thumbanil is so funny to me theyre like who invited that guy
has anyone ever talked about the fact that the first time we see sae-byeok she’s carrying an iced coffee?
this girl is literally barely surviving, committing crimes on the daily, probably only one step ahead of deok-su and his gang since she ditched them and they want payback, and she still found time and money to buy herself a little treat
and I LOVE that for her. so much. I hope she got a little cookie or something with it too
sangwoo: me and gihun are having a baby
sae byeok: thats grea-
gihun, slamming adoption papers on the table: its you, sign here-
And another thing:
Regardless of your interpretation of Langdon's relationship with his wife, that man LOVES being a father. He's got a little friendship bracelet that says dad, whenever their is a child tragedy he is already on the phone to hear his kids and make sure they are ok. He bought them a puppy just because his four year old wanted one, desire to make them happy completely overriding any kind of common sense. Just he clearly loves being Dad, he is like daydreaming about mowing the lawn in white New Balance sneakers, he is mentally grilling outside during their birthday parties or whatever.
And there is so much to be explored with regards to how little time he actually gets with them. Residents get almost no time off for anything so you know he misses them and you know he feels guilty and you know the puppy is BECAUSE he feels guilty.
And we talk a lot (as we should) about the resentment that grows in the primary parent at having to be On and expend all their time and energy on caretaking, but it is also possible for the parent who is not there and is spending less time to be resentful of the other parent for GETTING so much time with the kids. IDK I just think it is an interesting thing to think about in terms of his relationship with his wife because he clearly loves those children.
