ok i may or may not enjoy drawing the Splatoon style hair wise
i need to eat a food. none of the food in the house is The Right Food. what is the right food? only god knows. and we're not on speaking terms right now.
The next Big Arc I'm excited for the webtoon to adapt is Kaizenix arc for multiple reasons but one of them is that I'm VERY curious about what they will do about heesung.
because heesung have a romance arc in kaizenix right. I don't think I need to prove it's canon like a fujoshi talking about her favourite M/M ship, red yarn and cork board style - we're all on the same page here, this is a completely uncontraversial take on the token het couple in orv, right? kim dokja sees them in kaizenix and thinks "damn I'll have to allow interpersonal dating in kimcom now" I don't think anyone is arguing for a platonic explaination here (het ship advantages etc) HOWEVER.
Jung Heewon looked like a man at the time.
"She's mentally a woman so it's fine and not gay" is a much easier pill to swallow when it's words in a novel and her appearence isn't described, and the flashbacks appear as disconnected lines of dialogue so you don't really think of them as looking like Erich and Bilston and imagine them as Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung regardless of their actual appearence.
But the webtoon is a visual format and that won't fly. They physically can't be non-committal about this, they have to draw SOMETHING and I can't WAIT to see what it will be, because whatever they decide to do will be massively entertaining to me.
Do they say fuck it, heesung yaoi canon? I can't imagine they want on screen (apparent) gayness in their male power fantasy manhwa, but they might bet on the 'she's a woman on the inside' cognative dissonance 'it's anime bullshit, don't question it' logic will win over in most dudebro heads, as with it did in the novel.
Or they might decide that it WON'T fly with the dudebros actually and they shouldn't risk it and-this is where it gets really funny- try to make heesung less gay.
They could tweak their scenes to downplay the romance aspect (make them more humorus or cut some parts). They could keep Jung Heewon's face and hair the same as usual except she's in armor don't worry about what's under it ok. To 'keep her recognizable' even though they're not usually afraid to make the designs temporarily unrecognizable (KDJ's YJH cosplay moment for example), or some combination of both, which is what I'm betting on.
Just friends-ing their scenes...... changing her design to a woman's...... All of this would be, and I can't believe I'm saying this, gay censorship.
heesung about to be the first het couple to experience gay erasure. that's awesome I love orv
That's why I NEED all of us to have a countdown to heesungs schrödinger's yaoi event the same way some people had for joongdok demon king stabbing scene. the POTENTIAL IS THERE OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE!!!
my duty is to spread prereg hjyj agenda o7
bonus: hyj felt guilty for lashing out on shj (who, by the way, is all for it)
thinking again about kim dokja's face censor and how its such a good mechanic. foreshadows the most ancient dream reveal. shows how his desperate wish to be a normal child effects him still to this day. functions as an extension of his reader-self-insert status. and most excellently shows exactly how much his disassociation and distancing from everyone and everything in his life affects him, to the point where his loved ones can't even recognize his face. that when they think of him it is with his back turned and expression obscured because they never knew anything else. no one can recall his features, be reminded of them when they look at his mother or see his familiar facial expressions in his kids. he's perpetually a blank slate, someone neither we nor his loved ones can see anything distinctive in because thats the point of his character and i so deeply adore it. someone needs to get sing shong out of the kitchen because they cannot keep cooking like this
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
also the thing about han sooyoung travelling back in time to her 13 year old self's body so she can spend over a decade devoting her every moment to writing a book just for kim dokja is she explicitly says she likes doing it. she loves kim dokja so much she gets happy just knowing she exists in the same world as him, and that happiness is just made greater as he reads twsa! at heart shes an author having her work read carefully by her favourite reader in the whole universe. her writing for him is an incalculable sacrifice but at least she can wholly and genuinely say she enjoyed it
