The Next Big Arc I'm Excited For The Webtoon To Adapt Is Kaizenix Arc For Multiple Reasons But One Of

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!!!

Non transmitigation au where Shen Yuan auditions for a part in PIDW on a lark when it gets a live action adaptation, not thinking he’ll actually get a part (he just wanted to be able to say he did it okay? He was dated okay??! He was not dared he just thought it’d be neat, but he’ll admit to nothing.) and, much to his horror, ends up cast as Shen Qingqiu.

He somehow accidentally makes Shen Qingqiu so likable that he’s the most popular character. The fandom goes feral over him. He becomes famous. New fans are joining the bandwagon in droves to watch him.

And all the while, Shen Yuan is frantically trying to pretend he isn’t the most notorious anti fan troll to clown on the internet. He has never heard of PIDW before what do you mean Peerless Cucumber whomst?

So we know that the White Star split the Dominating Aura and left a portion in the Forest of Darkness, right?

So imagine if the voice inside the Dominating Aura is NOT Choi Jung Gun (or some other ancestor) but rather the White Star's younger teenage self (before he becomes a Dragon Slayer/goes crazy), like Jour Thames is in the Rings of Life.

Dude has no idea what sort of maniac he becomes, is just a little shit constantly mouthing off against the other ancient powers in Cale's mind & keeps dissing/shitting on the White Star whenever they fight because he has no idea it's him. You know, cuz of the whole reincarnation thing.

Like I know the logistics here are a bit wonky (since I assume only Dragon Slayers inherit the Sword of Disasters and Dominating Aura once they inherit the title) but bear with me, it's such a funny scenario.

Barrow (lets call him that for now) would just be cheering Cale on the entire fight, thirsting for blood and suggesting pranks to play on the White Star. The funniest scene could be him rolling his eyes (metaphorically, since he's ghost) and shitting on the White Star for being melodramatic with terrible fashion sense. Masks? In this day and age?

Imagine him being horrified when he finds out what he's become, especially since he's firsthand interacted with Raon and the rest (courtesy of haunting Cale).

You know what would be even more hilarious? Imagine him just providing Cale some VERY intimate, embarrassing and awkward details that Cale brings up during battle just for shits and giggles to throw off the White Star.

Cale & the White Star fighting: Barrow, internally: Did you know I used to pee in bed every night until I was eleven? Cale, with a shit-eating grin to the White Star: So how did it feel to have such poor bladder control growing up? Eleven? Tsk, tsk. White Star, half-offended, half-terrified because this is just reinforcing his hare-brained theory about how the Gods sent Cale to kill him because how else would he know this: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? Barrow, the little shit: During training, I once farted so loud the instructor called me ‘Thundercheeks’ for a month. Cale, visibly pausing mid-battle and incredulous: "Thundercheeks?!" The White Star, screaming in horror: Shut up shut up shut up!!!!

Every time Cale opens his mouth, Sayeru and Dorph lose a bit more respect for their master. Conversely, Raon thinks Cale is possessed (he is). Also White Star, babe, no Cale is not a reincarnator. Your archnemesis is literally you.

Just tinier, more gremlin, spiteful and hormonal. You know, a teenager.

Edit: more scenarios because this is funny:

Barrow, rubbing his imaginary hands: See that slight twitch in his shoulder? He’s about to dodge left. Cale: “Oh? So I aim right?” Barrow: “No. Compliment his hair. He'll blush. // Barrow: “Mention the mole. He hates the mole.” Cale: “What mole?” Barrow: “Inner thigh, left side. He’s irrationally sensitive about it.” Cale (literally yeeting a thunderbolt at him): “Still trying to hide the mole?” White Star screaming: “WHAT THE FUCK.”
