just thinking about the fact that juntae gets introduced in the same way beomseok did, and parallels him all the time, and he's the one who ultimately tells sieun "it wasn't your fault" in regards to suho.

spoilers || 3.2 event core :

The way Reki has been skating for longer than Joe or Cherry.

realizing that reaffirming each other with words has always been shin soukoku’s thing

but even more than that Akutagawa’s famous repetition of this line is no longer a one off…

but a thing they both do now…

cause what better way to hammer a message into your stubborn idiot partners brain than using his own words against him…. and saying it over and over again???

do you think ash used to be religious and wished for a god to save him as a child. do you think realising nobody was coming to his rescue was his first experience with crushing loneliness. do you think that loneliness crawled into his skin and used his rotting body to start the fire of hatred. hatred for the monsters around him. hatred for a non-existent god and false promises. hatred for himself. do you think he wished so desperately for eiji to be saved that he was willing to put that hatred aside. that he was willing to accept the problem lay within him, that god did exist and he, aslan jade callenreese, was just unworthy of that god's benevolence, so it would be okay if he traded his life for eiji's.

"he didn't have any redeeming qualities" it's almost like.....that's the point. it's almost like a big part of his arc is literally that he's wandering around without a purpose, being cruel for the sake of it without even realising, as if he's desperately trying to prove himself to the whole world. it's almost like sieun himself recognised that which is why he couldn't bring himself to harm beomseok till the end. it's almost like he was mourning the loss of not one but TWO friends at the end. it's almost like being abused is a cycle that can easily tip a person into a pool of negative emotions which is incredibly hard to crawl out of. it's almost like a child will internalize the way they were treated and be incredibly insecure as a result. it's almost like jealousy stemming from inferiority will cause people to hate themselves more than anything and they'll project it onto others a lot of times. it's almost like beomseok's a fucking gray character not meant to fit into your classic tropes. if you want to hate simply for the sake of hating just go and read the damn webtoon. you can have your one dimensional characters and play with them.

nobody is denying that he fucked up royally, nor is anyone trying to provide a reasoning for it. we're simply being given an explanation of how his surroundings shaped him, how even if he escaped that pattern it was too little too late, and now he'll spend the rest of his life with crushing guilt on his shoulders. it's something real that occurs and it sucks for everyone involved and that is why it is MILES better than just using him as a blatant tool to move the plot along (which is what the webtoon did). you're still free to hate him but atleast watch the damn show properly.

“we need more complex male characters in korean dramas!!” you couldn’t even handle him.

love when people draw sunday in cardigans that's my grandma y'all <3

Their dynamic is everything to me
