#5 souls ep

[fierykitten2]

Last week on (I believe) Friday I listened to the 5 Souls EP and then I listened to them again yesterday. I’ve since got all five of them stuck in my head at different times (Tears of Blood was the last one to get stuck in my head and only got stuck in my head because I was looking up the lyrics but I’ve had it stuck in my head all morning) and I think I have an official top 5 on the EP (yes I know that’s all five of them I just wanted to say I’m ranking them). From fifth favourite (“least favourite” sounds like I don’t like it) to favourite:

Never Forget

Creatures

Tears of Blood

Snakebite

Bring It On

I genuinely believe Naksu haunts the narrative. Her actions and existence as Naksu heavily impact the entire story. Her past, the life she lived and the shadow of it in Mudeok. But we don't actually know any of it because Naksu is not in the story.

Like. What she lost as Cho Yeong is something that we are never allowed to forget, the loss of her body, her powers, her freedom, and her impending death as a soul shifter hangs over Mudeok's head like guillotine.

All the while we don't actually know the Shadow Assassin Naksu, she died in the first episode, as soon as the story began. Other than training and killing (soul shifters) what kind of person was she when she didn't have to rely on another person else or hide or live as someone else? We don't know and we don't ever learn any of that.

Still, her absence is the plot, yet her former existence as Naksu influences everything; Yul's actions and what she was to him, Jang Uk's goal of returning her powers, the revelation of soul shifters to Park Jin, Jang Gang's departure, Jin Mu's accomplishments, the King's Star even.

Everything is about her existence but she doesn't actually exist at all anymore.

#before anyone disagrees she declares naksu dead in ep 5 or something and tell yul the person he knew no longer exists in ep 19 #naksu is dead but the shadow of her hangs over everything #what could have been and what wasn't is mourned in nearly episode #alchemy of souls #also im not saying one life is better than the other but there is always this sense of loss in mudeok that is never forgotten by the story #SHE DESERVED TO LIVE AS HERSELF #Also for me its the tragedy of all of it that makes the show so good #like dont get me wrong im certifiably insane over the romance and would be very happy with the ending offered but even the then the best pa #*the happy ending offered in ep19 #is that #she escaped the circle of tragedy shes been trapped in #and has so many people that she loves and cares for now and how those ppl care for her just as much #this post is brought to you by: my mutual and i finally finishing our rewatch

Honestly though, the way Go Won consoled Bu-yeon and tried to cheer her up when she was sad about her husband was literally the sweetest thing ever!

It was clear that she likened herself to a mere turtle, small and unimpressive. She couldn't possibly compare to the grand peacock that is Naksu/Mu-deok.

That's when he drops the tough-guy act. He tells her that he took the turtle home and found that it was clever and cute. He tells her that even if a turtle could not compare to a peacock, the turtle still had a charm of its own.

And just as he came to adore his pet turtle, surely her husband would come around to like her as well. So she should keep her chin up.

He doesn't even know who she really is. To him, she's this poor shaman lady who thinks he's a eunuch. But he still tried to make her happy simply because she was upset and felt abandoned. Even in a previous scene with the court lady, he looked worriedly at her wounds and got kinda angry about the queen lashing out at innocents. He also went as far as to investigate the powder the queen was giving to the other concubines when it has nothing to do with him.

Bu-yeon is 100% right when she said that he's a good person.

Moon in the Day is giving me major Alchemy of Souls vibes, especially the past scenes. Like Ri-ta insisting that she only cares if Do-ha is alive so she can kill him, it's so Mu-deok. And Do-ha not wanting to live and unable to sleep is like Jang Uk S2.

It's like what would happen if you had Mu-deok with S2 Jang Uk! No Sunshine in this pair. It's Furious Vengeance & Deadly but with Suicidal Depression pairing.

#tw: suidice #moon in the day #moon in the day spoilers #and the way Do-ha seems to be basically invincible #his life is so empty and he's so sad #alchemy of souls #ep 5

[rainbow-arrow]

don’t mind me. just thinking about what the writers of iwtv gave us in season 1 and the fact that they weren’t properly compensated.

#also apparently the script for S2 goes hard #like…they fed us a multi course 5 star meal . we literally were daniel in ep 1. (just realizing they pointed out 7 courses and it was 7 eps #SEE THIS THE SHIT I’M TALKING ABOUT #i’m gonna lose my mind #obviously this goes out to all writers of every show that put their heart and soul into creating the worlds we fall in love with #i just am thinking about how new insightful meta for iwtv keeps coming up MONTHS later like….. #you mean to tell me writers are giving y’all stories ppl talk about for years later and execs be trying to find anyway to short change them #AMC COUNT YOUR DAYS #we coming for your head

if this ends with Izzy making some kind of noble sacrifice in the name of doing his job I swear I’m gonna be so narratively satisfied. devastated. but satisfied.

y'know, looking at the fandom wiki page for the shugods, I really want an episode just dedicated to the kings working along side their kingdom's respective shugods.

because who was going to tell me that God Kamakiri can just sense people under rubble and can hear sounds of up to 160,000 hertz

or that God Tombo can see 2km in front of it?? Or God Papillon being able to camouflage?? ?

The things that can come up from this...

#kingohger #ohsama sentai kingohger #shugods #super sentai #given that there's still the whole thing with Kuwagon's soul #I think they could dedicate an episode or two to just the shugods doing shugod things #mmm maybe like a rescue episode with Himeno #or a hunt / search with Wings duo #actually thinking about it #Rita probably had God Papillon camouflaged back in ep 4 #cuz while God Papillon is the smallest of the 5 #its still quite large and probably noticeable even if it was resting on the ground #speaking of sizes #not a complaint #but its really funny to look at the models of the shugods because I swear #God Papillon just looks giant. #To the point where it looks like its the same size as Kuwagon #but based on the stats its under half Kuwagon's size #rambling #this would be interesting for an au I have... huh-

As an Alchemy of Souls stan, here's my contribution to what I think is an underrated love story in the show. It might be one-sided and unrequited, but it's one of my faves.

A girl from the wrong side of the tracks with Daeho's golden boy, please you know I'm eating this up.

A Seo Yul and So-i edit.

“Why did you treat my turtle so kindly?” Is one of the fucking funniest lines in this show

#I love the crown prince so much #he’s such a dumbass #alchemy of souls #me #ep 5

thinking about how charlie DOES know that alastors a bad person, and is aware he’s using the hotel. it also just happens she thinks it’ll be fine and they can fix him.

#back off u spooky bitches she literally snaps at him for the first 5 minutes of ep 7 #why reduce their dynamic when it’s so much funnier that he’s out there being alastor and charlie’s telling vaggie they’re gonna fix him #i know she was like hmm. interesting. i would be suspicious but daddy issues go brr. in ep 5 #tbd. #charlie tells people he doesn’t bite anymore while he’s behind her eating someone’s soul

[sparkdoesart]
