I first met Moonbin on the 14th of June 2016. I was relatively new to K-pop and wanted to start with a group just as new as me. I remember looking at the photos of the new groups I could get interested in. But I really remember Astro, specifically Moonbin. He just drew me in. His smile and the way he acted and behaved. During the summer of 2018 I abandoned Astro. My friends thought it was lame and they didn’t like it. I remember seeing alerts in my phone that Moonbin was live all the time. And I never clicked on.
I regret that now more than ever.
I bumped into him again during quarantine. When I watched his lives I realised how much I missed him and Astro. Throughout the loneliness of quarantine, Astro and Moonbin were there for me. They made me feel like I had someone to rely on a friend. When I came back from the gym tonight and opened my phone I never expected to hear that Moonbin had died. I thought it was a joke. Some fake news spread by a fake fan to get attention. So when I went on instagram to see that post on the Astro page. I was shocked. My thoughts went to his group mates and his family. I was devastated.
I want to end this by thanking my moonbeam for all that he has done for me. He made me feel important. He was always guiding me and lighting the way. He helped me shine like he did and always will. Moonbin is no longer physically with us. But we will always have the memories of him and that is just as good.
rest in peace my moonbeam and shine like you always have.
will never understand how jess was supposed to be the bad boy because what?? he literally always minded his own business except for a few harmless pranks that made everyone lose their shit for no reason
like everyone thinking he stole the money for his car or stole the whole car but hb was the employee of the month at WALMART
he came back to his mom's wedding JUST because Luke asked him to even though Liz was a shitty mom and then read SELF HELP BOOKS?????
everyone was praying on his downfall and the day he gets arrested but no RORY gets arrested luke ALSO gets arrested and then EMILY GILMORE? like if jess was the one who got arrested everyone would be gossiping about it INCLUDING lorelai who was probably the #1 jess hater
ending my short "rant" because im sleepy with the fact that jess was a lover boy and a hopeless romantic just in a leather jacket and walls up so high with one hidden door and only one person has the key
when worlds collide

I WILL SINGLE HANDEDLY REVIVE THE HAIKYUU FANDOM IF I MUST. WHERE YALL AT!!!! 🔊🔊🔊🔊 WAKE UP
jess mariano and rory gilmore are literally the SAME people at their core, just in opposite fonts. they MIRROR each other and are each other's TWIN FLAMES. that's exactly why they understand each other better than everyone else (asp herself said so). both are raised by teen moms and have deadbeat dads. yet, one is nurtured with love and care with a mom like lorelai. and the other is abandoned & ignored by a flaky mom like liz. both develop an immense love for reading regardless of whether it became kind of a coping mechanism. both exceed normal expectations of intelligence required for their age. hence, one goes above and beyond, strives for perfection with it, and craves validation while the other could not care less what people think and says "fuck it. rules don't matter anymore for me. i know stuff". one becomes stars hollow's princess, held onto a pedestal by everyone around her. the other becomes stars hollow's pariah, hated by every person he meets. both are under intense scrutiny by people where one is held to exceptionally high standards and the other is seen as "good for nothing". both of them break out of those respective moulds as soon as they become young adults. and both play a pivotal role in helping each other break out of those moulds and still be true to their inner selfs. I COULD WRITE AN ENTIRE TEN-PAGE ESSAY ON THE PARALLELS BETWEEN THEM....I REALLY COULD!
Katniss is like Lucy Gray this, Katniss is like Sejanus that, and yes find that's all good and true and lovely but Katniss Everdeen is also a direct parallel to Coriolanus Snow and people NEED to start talking about this because it's driving me crazy.
Think about it: they both grew up poor and deeply vulnerable, losing parents at a very young age, with a matriarchal adult (Katniss' mother and Coriolanus' Grandma'am) who fails to provide for them emotionally and physically. They intimately understand the threat of starvation, even developing with stunted growth because of it, and their narrations in the books share a fixation on food. Throughout their childhoods, both experienced constant fear and suffered a fundamental lack of control over their circumstances. Because of this, they're inherently suspicious of the people around them. They resent feeling indebted to others, especially those who have saved their lives. They're motivated almost entirely by family and deeply connected to their communities. Both are used and manipulated by the Capitol, both are forced to perform to survive and despise every inch of it, both are thrown into the Arena and made to kill. Both have a self-sacrificial, genuinely sweet sister figure acting as their conscience. Peeta and Lucy Gray - performers and love interests with a fundamental kindness and sense of hope about them - fulfill markedly similar roles in their narrative. Both contribute to the development of the future Hunger Games, Snow throughout tbosas and Katniss towards the end of Mockingjay.
It's easy to ignore these similarities because, as mirrors of each other, they are exact opposites. Katniss is from District 12, viewed and treated as less than human; Snow is the cream of the Capitol crop, given the privilege of a name with social weight, an ancestral home, and the opportunity of the Academy despite having no more money than a miner from 12. Katniss has no agency over her life, and responds by being kind whenever she's able, while Snow justifies horrendous evils in order to continue his quest for complete control. Katniss does everything she can to protect her family; Snow does everything he can to protect his family's image as an extension of his own ego. Katniss loves her District and connects with its inhabitants on a meaningful level, but Snow is indifferent at best to his peers - the apparent "superior people" - and only engages with his community for personal gain. Katniss emerges from the Arena horrified at herself and the system, but Snow takes his trauma and turns it into an excuse to perpetuate the violence with himself at the top. Katniss cares for Prim until her death and then snaps at the loss of her little sister, while Snow survives on Tigris' blood, sweat, and tears and then torments and abandons her, presumably because she calls him out on his insanity. Snow actively adds to and popularizes the Hunger Games because of his vendetta against the Districts following his childhood wartime trauma - Katniss briefly agrees to a new Hunger Games in the pursuit of vengeance, but later stops them from happening by killing Coin and choosing a life of peace and privacy. Snow is obsessed with revenge, but Katniss empathizes with the Capitolites and does what she can to keep them from suffering. He exists in a cruel system and selfishly upholds it; she exists in a cruel system and works to dismantle it for the good of her family and community, at great personal cost. And Peeta and Lucy Gray are incredibly similar, but Katniss and Peeta forge a relationship of genuine love and understanding that shines in comparison to Coriolanus' obsessive projection onto Lucy Gray.
So, yeah, Katniss is Lucy Gray haunting Coriolanus. But I bet you anything that eighty-something year old President Snow looks at her, the girl on fire, bright and young and brilliant, emerging from a childhood of starvation with a relentless hunger for success, a talented and charming performer helping her win the Games, and he sees the ghost of his own past. And that's why he's so afraid of her! Because if he sees himself in her, then he's up against his own cunning, his own talent for manipulation, his own charisma, his own genius. He's up against the version of himself that he once wished to be, with the nightmare army of his childhood at her back and her star-crossed lover at her side, spewing Sejanus' truths in his own voice. This isn't to say that Katniss ever achieved the level of power and agency that Coriolanus did during her time with the rebellion, but it is to say that Snow was taken down by what truly terrified him - his own morality, come to finish the job.

JESS MY BABY 😭
I have this weird theory that all Jess needed to do to secure his and Rory’s relationship was to meet Christopher. Like Logan met Christopher and he thought Logan was cool and they got along great and he accepted the relationship (same with Dean). I feel like is Chris had met Jess and seen what this person had described maybe he would’ve helped Lorelai see how Jess wasn’t all that bad. Like when Rory moved in with Logan Chris told Lorelai and she seemed cool with it partly because she trusted Rory to tell her and she was cool with Logan but partly because Chris was cool with Logan too. I feel like if Chris had met Jess seen him he kinds of situations he’d been in , his mom, his life what he’d been through Chris would’ve said to Lorelai “Hey I like this kid, he’s been through a lot , you guys are kind of similar and Rory likes him too.” I feel like if Lorelai had seen the Jess Rory saw she wouldn’t have been to hard on him and that would’ve made Jess and Rory’s relationship easier/ better.
