Grub Is So Back Baby

idk if y'all remember that instance when yoo sangah decided to read all of dokja's memories, a move which made a lot of people hate her, but, here's my take on that: yoo sangah is a person who knows how to take risks, or at least she tries to know how to assess them correctly, and, you know, to have a relationship it is necessary to take those risks, especially if you want to get closer to someone else, if you want to let them know you're there for them. Then, what if the person you wanted to get closer to and so badly understand is Kim Dokja? The guy who's so deeply ashamed of himself he has to hide behind a wall, the guy who feels so proud of not letting anyone get to know him because he believes no one can nor will ever understand him so it's better to push them away, the coworker who paired up with you on your first interview, the coworker who kept quiet while you put pepper onto the coffe machine and even took the effort to move the cameras so that they wouldn't fire you, he, the one who talks to you without the intention to get something back nor seeing you as an object, and who also seems to be okay with you despite feeling so distant, Dokja, Kim Dokja, your dear friend.

And then he sacrifices himself. Over and over again. What would you do then? Yoo Sangah can't just stand there doing nothing, watching him suffer silently. She's an empath, she wants to be there for people, and he's her friend, she has to do something about it, let him know all KimCom is there for him, that she's there for him, but he's being so stubbornly distant with everyone. It is also at this point of the novel where Dokja's debating whether to tell them that they're all characters of a novel, and therefore being much more distant. What is there to do for yoo sangah? It's a desperate situation, and such desperate times require bigger risks to take in for the relationship; to read dokja's memories is dangerous, it is to overstep his boundaries and privacy, dokja may never want to talk to her again, because it is a betrayal in itself. Yoo sangah knows all of this, but she's willing to take the risk, for him. It is incredibly selfish as well, but it is the only way out for her, the only way she feels she can reach out to him beyond that wall.

Do y’all know where the phrase “eat the rich” comes from or do you just repeat it cause you heard it elsewhere?

It’s not a bad thing, I just saw someone say “we never said who would eat the rich” and realized a lot of y’all might not have heard the full quote

It’s from Rousseau and it’s “When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich"

And, well, there’s a lot of people with nothing to eat…

yoohankim is kim dokja laying in bed thinking god im a dogshit human being and soon these two will figure it out and leave me and han sooyoung laying in bed thinking god im a dogshit human being im so lucky that ive managed to find these people willing to be with me and i will never let them go and yoo joonghyuk laying in bed thinking well we might have enough onions for that onion soup i wanna make tomorrow night but i should probably stop by the store in the morning and grab some extra just in case. also if either of these people leave me i will kill myself

girlboss yoo sangah is such a terrifying concept to me. do not get me wrong yoo sangah is a very powerful and capable and independent woman in ways that can appear to overlap with the girlboss archetype. but then its ignored where these traits come from!!

yoo sangah has had to be very self sufficient and 'powerful' her whole life because the alternative has always been catastrophic. for example becoming a house wife like her parents want vs girlbossing at a job where she gets harrassed and treated like shit, or dying in the apocalypse vs being useful to kimcom at the cost of her health (<- not necessarily actual dichotomies but the ones she believes in). and thus she ends up self-reliant in a way that leads to her having to endure a lot!! whether it's her trying to shrug off han myungoh's sexist comments or take on the weight of probability for kimcom. and we see that maybe these dichotomies she seems to live in are not so helpful, and maybe the idea that she does not need to be the #girlboss handling everything would be beneficial.

because she's just a person!! she's not uniquely capable or intelligent or even kind - not to a higher extent than any other woman in your workplace, at least. not beyond the realm of belief. which is the point! girlboss yoo sangah is almost kim dokja's vision of her - a perfect version who never falters where others would, who can reign in the boys and keep everything on track with a flick of a wrist and a smile - and theres a reason that version of her gets explicitly deconstructed

a character without flaws isnt a character worth thinking about, which is why to strip yoo sangah of her flaws is to strip her of anything interesting. the heroine can and will falter, she will be petty and weak and tired, and yoo sangah is devoted to showing us that. so i wish there was more content that explored that side of her

red and vee :)

Scar: *ranting about Disney, as usual*

There's nothing you or I can do

and we're all so small

The hermitcraft court system is the most insane thing ever

What do you mean random things are decided by like the most obscure minigames that the judge comes up with

What do you mean the case opens up with a bunch of fireworks going off INDOORS and killing and/or almost killing people

What do you mean half the time they'd be better off representing themselves without a lawyer to the point mumbo just stood behind scar and spoke for him

What do you mean doc shows up as a lawyer in a maid dress and then tries to hijack the case multiple times to find out who the ore snatcher is

What do you mean every side got punished INCLUDING THE LAWYER

Well except for scar, scar apparently is the only innocent party here.

The way mumbo wouldn't of been in any trouble if he didn't throw a cubic meter of bricks through beefs window lol
