#I am gonna read the novel

[otomelavenderhaze]

I found this light novel, the name is "There Were Times I Wished You Were Dead" and I just wanna say, I have adopted both of the main characters, I do think my guy Karloi needs to fucking chill and that he should be less of an asshole with my girl Yvo, but they're both so pitiful, they're just so deep in the bottom of the deepest pit that I cannot find in myself to kick him harder.

I never saw a couple that I was like "maybe not even theraphy can solve some aspects of this" in my whole life.

And I am at a point in the story in which I am okay, this surely ends in a happy ending, right? But I am scared, because I am not sure if it does, I mean, either Karloi and Yvo are in the last straws of their sanity in that situation and he's growing increasingly violent for a few chapters now..... there only one thing that can "fix" it, but at this point I am not even sure if this is enough to land that happy ending.

After everything Karloi put her through, is she gonna really end with him? Like, seriously? There's any way to really redeem Karoi?

Cuz, yeah, they're actually both toxic to one another, but there's certain things about Yvo that are outside of her control that's not really her fault, so ends up hurting him not because she's trying, but because... the situation, the way she tries to shield him, actually hurts him. It's like you try to save someone who's falling, but your nails are so sharp and you ends up grabbing the person by the neck in the process of trying to save them.

But Karloi knows how to be cruel, he actually have momentS of pure self-satisfaction cruelty that are driven by all the hurting he had to endure his whole life and that gets trigger whenever she lies to him. I personally pity him. I understand why he's the way he is and why he does what he does.

However, thats not enough to redeem him. I don't think he can be redeemable.

This is one of those situations that I am seeing something horrible happening in front of me and I cannot, I cannot, for the sake of anything else, stop looking at it until I see how it ends.

I have so many questions. I need to know how it ends.

PS: It does have a good ending and I think they both deserved to be happy at the end despite all their flaws... also, if they can find in themselves enough reason to forgive one another, if forgiveness is better than keep on that loop of abuse and hurt... then that be it. I think by the end of it, what makes, is what make them happy. If to Yvo be happy means stay with Karloi, then I am fine with it - even more if he's sincerely regretting his past behaviors, changed and apologizes about it. I did loved the ending. It was very fitting for the theme of the novel.

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

#original #the last unicorn #tlu #peter s beagle #molly gru #schmendrick #schmendrick the magician #two of my favorite characters in anything right there in the center of the story! and I'm glad I saw the film first! #my reading ability has diminished due to trauma disability etc. but it seems like having a visual reference actually really helped! #no wonder i only ever want to read fan fic! turns out reading is not actually Superior to other types of Storytelling. it's just different. #to say otherwise is snobbishness I have been eminently guilty of in my life! #but like it is easier for me to consume tv and movies and that is fine actually. also that's why I'm doing a graphic novel lol #because i wanted to make something i would actually be able to read if i found it at a library. altho the audio book IS gonna be bomb #the audiobook is for visually impaired readers and anyone who wants or needs it! accessible stories for everyone! yeah!! #my gender was already transed but now I've gained an ADDITIONAL gender! which one? I'll never tell 😘 #i am so powerful i have so much fuckin gender. my wife has no gender. and she is equally as powerful. #and also she has STUDIED THE BLADE #mostly zoro's blades from One Piece #normally YouTube recommends me shit movies like idiocracy or smth this is like if every day ur cat brought you a piece of rotten food and #then one day it brings you a BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED TALE FEATURING MY BELOVED TWINK FUCK-UP WIZARD FRIEND AND MY ALL-TIME HOMEGIRL MOLLY GRU #and also it's soft and beautiful and funny and fucking weird!! i wrote melodies to the songs in the books on my ukulele

audrey: i don't know how much notice period you need. one month seems too little. would three months suffice?

audrey: or if you need longer, of course i'll give you longer.

siegfried: how about 'till death do us part'?

audrey: what

siegfried: what

i should probably be practicing how to draw yuder given i'm having a hard time w/ him but kishiar,,,

open for better quality | no reposts

#kishiar la orr #turning novel #터닝 #fanart #myart #doodle #almost 200 chapters in and i am frothing at the mouth about the sword scar scene where kishiar explains why he needs yuder by his side #the tension and loyalty and guilt between them makes me sick (keep it up guys) #i have so much going on today and i definitely spent too long on the screen reading yesterday so i probably shouldn't continue today #however. this story hasn't left my head for a second #i even went out for a walk yesterday and my mind kept drifting back to it #truly i have not felt this level of insanity since i read t.gcf #tldr. i need somewhere to scream about this but instead i drew kishiar #he is not a green flag he's a literal forest and i love that about him #edit: just read chapter 200. good lord. i am never gonna be over this

Have been rewatching kiseki: dear to me almost everyday due to my obsession ✨✨

And I realised that for our main couple, there wasn’t any formal introductions between the two. Usually there might be a third person who helps to connect the two. But there isn’t in this case.

Fan Zherui learnt of Bai Zongyi’s name through digging around Zongyi’s room and got wind of it via the scholarship certificate. While Zongyi learnt of Zherui’s name indirectly during this scene:

Zherui: I need to stay here for a few days. If you help me, I will repay you. I, Fan Zherui, keep my words.

To me, this is so interesting because the first thing we do when we meet someone is to offer our name. This allows the other person to address us properly during the interaction, to identify/pinpoint us again in the next time we meet, or simply to name drop if the occasions allow. Hence, the fact that both of them did not volunteer their names tell us that they were very sure they want nothing to do with each other in the future. Especially since Zherui asked Zongyi for his name while Zongyi was cleaning up Zherui’s wound, and Zongyi stayed quiet:

This really sets the stage for “I have no idea how much you will mean to me in the future”. And to think about how Zongyi will be taking the place of Zherui and going to prison on his behalf, this really is one of the main reason why this couple will be the death of me.

I love it when the characters have no idea what they are in for, and how this person who they thought will be extremely insignificant, is really going to bring in a whole 180 degrees change in their life. I guess this is why this show is call “Kiseki”/奇迹, a direct translation would actually be miracle. Except the official eng title is kiseki: dear to me.

#kiseki: dear to me #kiseki dear to me #奇迹 dear to me #hsu kai #taro lin #baifan #白范 #白范cp #i love the main couple so much #i extremely love it when the characters are cluelesssss to how hard they are gonna fall in the future #it brings up the angst and sugar for the future XD #having read the original novel #I can say I am def not gonna be quite well in 4-5 eps time

Only on twitter will I be told I’m being “unprofessional as a fan page” (pls I don’t get paid this isn’t my job it’s a hobby pls) for randomly posting Shen Wei photos or gifs now and then as a fun throwback: (re: the North Face Coat parallels post). And then being told “when will they let this role go.”

Shen Wei is the role that helped him breakout in the industry after a decade.

Shen Wei provided one of the stepping stones for where he is today in his career.

Shen Wei is a beloved character still celebrated on the Chinese socials with xlbs to this very day. heck Shen Wei randomly trended 1 again on Weibo hot search last February.

He has a lot of roles under his belt - ain’t nothing wrong with going back and celebrating them again.

#I have said Shen Wei’s name so much in this post I might as well change my name to Yunlan …🥁 That was a joke but I have read the novel so #I just like Shen Wei I wanna be him most of the time I’m not kidding he’s so cool and his clothes? gimme! #should I bring back the Ma Zhe hyperfixation? and appreciation because I wanna #also I’m not a sailor or a postman or what Amazon Prime offers in 2 days for free #that ain’t my jam and bread I see Shen Wei like I see any role I like…except Ma Zhe I went to 3 film festivals for that character oh my God #please stand by for the queue #y’all gonna phone CCTV and tell them Yo! quit rebroadcasting To Dear MySelf and The Rebel for the nth time they’re old…. no #zhu yilong #text posts #it is ironic I am being told to censor shen wei on twitter that’s just …classic

Read the first chapter of the Dark Island Trilogy 1 and. And Y'ALL. LADS. FOLKS. THE WU CHARACTERIZATION GOES CRAZY. THE ESSAY IN MY DRAFTS ABOUT HIM WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS I NEED TO DRAFT AN ENTIRE OTHER RANT JUST ABOUT THAT. BROTHER

He views the ninja as his family.... The fact that he still loves Misako but is suppressing it (which was obvious but it hits extra hard in his own words)..... The return of the atlas complex this man has. GOD. DAMN.

#i am actually gonna go feral #i was trying to draw but got a headache and decided reading a graphic novel would b better #it was not i have the human zoomies now #WHEEEEEEEEEEE #ninjago #lego ninjago #master wu #dark island trilogy

Spoken as the last lock clicks shut

“I lied we aren’t doing a scene. It’s visual novel reading time and you aren’t going anywhere until you finish at least 3 chapters of the Fate VN”

#I love Ave dearly and she’s being very patient in helping me get into visual novels #I am having fun but I get distracted easily #hoping to get through all the type moon stuff eventually #but sorry babe I’m still never gonna read Umineko

I love getting reccomended ‘I watched / read / reacted to every x so you don’t have to’ yeah I actually wasn’t planning on doing that anyway. I don’t quite enjoy spending my time engaging in shitty things that make me feel bad, thanks though. I guess

#stupid snake talk #like sorry man in no world was I ever gonna watch a Shane Dawson documentary or whatever the fuck #or read like incest novels. who do you think I am? #you think I have the time energy and care to do that? really?

if you, as an author, create a minor character who is important to one of your primary characters, and then kill them off so the main character will be sad, know this: i hate you. i am biting you. i hope you get a hangnail and that the grocery store is out of your preferred plant milk.

#i got nothing against killing off characters! just let them have their own damn arc!! #or if you need a dead bestie(tm) *do it in flashback*. let them be a ghost! ghosting the narrative whips ass!!! #for the record this is in reference to an actual novel i am reading not a fanfic #not naming names but i am 300 pages into an 800pg book and they just axed two best friends a spouse and some girl no one liked all that muc #oh and someone's boyfriend too! #this was in three separate incidents! on different continents! it's not even like they all died in one natural disaster. #it's pretty good otherwise so i'll probably finish it but i am gonna stay mad about it
