ok thoughts about Lee Jihye and the absence of Kim Namwoon

It's smth that never really factors in the novel, which makes sense considering they have way bigger things going on and LJH is often used as a comic relief character. But something that I think about often is how isolated LJH must've felt in kimcom. Younger than the adults and dismissed by them as a child, but older than the kids and not being able to really openly talk with them. And of course she had meaningfull relationships with kimcom, she had her captain and the older women to look up to, and she was often goofing around with the children. But still when you're a teenage girl it is very important to have someone your age to confide in. And I just think about the juxtapostition of her mostly doing childish stuff with the kids and then often sneaking alcohol on her own. And with the terrible way she lost her best friend, LJHs lack of peers her age, lack of people she can confide in about just the ordinary problems of being a teenager, must have really impacted her developmentally and affected her social abillities and emotional maturity on a very real level.

And the thing is. Lee Jihye was supposed to have that. She was supposed to have Kim Namwoon as her peer to bicker with and confide in and sneak alcohol with. And the crazy thing is she doesn't even know! She doesn't even know she had someone, that the her in every other timeline managed to have close bonds with someone her equal, even after what she had done, even with everything going on. She had someone and she doesn't even know it was robbed of her.

look at me. listen. you need to take that six foot something transfem and you need to lay her on your chest and stroke her hair gently and rub her back and hold her tight like a beloved stuffed animal. do you understand me. you need to hold the tall girls in your life like you would anyone else. LISTEN to me

I got this back to back. is this a sign

These past few weeks, I've been bombarded with severance-related posts. For the context, I've never watched it, never heard of it before being bombarded with it. I just liked that one post with the neopets gif once.

So what is my understanding of what that show is about thanks to Tumblr:

1. The Office, "but in season 2 they go outside"

2. "helly secretly would love to keep a bush, but Helena trims it bald". And apparently they're the same person one is just the evil one?

3. innie, outie, goofy ass name + letter

4. actually a deep, philosophical work, that the most judgemental people I've encountered here actually don't hate?

5. produced by the Zoolander guy

This is what the train looks like now. Not sure if it's the same or another because of some differences, but it's more worn down now and it has a few ads mainly on the windows. But beautiful nonetheless.

my aunt sent me these photos of the subway in Armenia because she thought I would love it
