I love the way this scene in 221 recontextualizes the flashback from 169.
In 221, we see Yu-Hon’s A+ parenting skills at work.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Son, I know you’re only six but if you don’t get a grip on your emotions everyone you love will burn alive and it will be your fault.” 
Obviously there’s no child services in Fantasy Korea but damn there should be. 
Anyway, back in 169, Hak flashes back to a memory of Soo-Won laying out battle tactics (that Hak is using in the present). 
Tumblr media
Hak is amused because the plan sounds too idealistic to actually work in the real world, but Soo-Won is dead serious when he says, “They’d choose the most devious option too,” because his father has been telling him since he was old enough to walk that Kohka’s enemies want to turn the country into hell and Soo-Won is its only line of defense. Yes, he’s being idealistic, but that’s only because he wants to ensure the fewest casualties possible in the war for Kohka that is coming.

Okay. So maybe trying to secure a girlfriend at a party wasn’t exactly Haknyeon’s best idea.
But, hey. You had to give him some credit. At least he was making an attempt. Most of his other frat brothers weren’t even making an effort. They seemed perfectly satisfied with charming their ways into random girls’ pants every weekend. Unfortunately, or fortunately considering he was a gentleman, Haknyeon wasn’t into that sort of thing.
It was just a little embarrassing that Kim Sunwoo’s love life had more progress than his own. Sunwoo was literally the resident loser bitch boy of the TBZ house. How was he closer to getting a girlfriend than he was? It made absolutely no sense.
Ju Haknyeon thought of himself as a catch. He was pretty neat, his room was cleaner than most guys’ his age. He knew how to cook basic meals, again, more than the average college sophomore. His car wasn’t on its last leg. (Cough cough… Kim Sunwoo, I’m looking at you.) He was a decent dude. He supported women’s rights and wrongs!
Apparently that was not enough these days.
“…And I need you to make sure the fridge is stocked completely. I’m not trying to drink my coffee without cream tomorrow morning because some idiot drank it while they were drunk.” Sangyeon commands, typing something furiously on his phone as some of the other guys move around the furniture.
“Bruh, I was in charge of buying everything last time. Why can’t someone else do it?” Kevin groans. Something else that wasn’t Haknyeon’s best idea? Walking into the kitchen during this very conversation. “What about JuHak? He looks like he has nothing better to do.”
“Yeah, whatever. That’s fine. Hak, I’m airdropping you the list.” Sangyeon waves his hand in dismissal, returning to his extensive presidential duties.
The sophomore deadpans, but doesn’t have the energy to argue back. You know, the usual fraternity was just a bunch of rich guys with more money than the tuition of each TBZ brother combined. However, the Tau Beta Zeta house was not your usual fraternity. It really was just a bunch of normal dudes thrown together. Though, Lee Sangyeon ran it like it was the fucking Navy.
Haknyeon accepts his defeat and grabs his things, heading out to the supermarket to shop for tonight’s party. Alcohol duty sucked more than door duty, in his opinion. You were sent out all alone, tasked with bringing back enough liquor and beer to last until early hours of the morning. It was a near impossible mission, unless you were Kevin Moon and good at practically everything in the world.
He pushes around the shopping cart mindlessly, though he knows he’ll have to make another trip. A long sigh leaves his lips as he enters the alcohol aisle. He fills the bottom of the cart with different cases of beer until he thinks he may drop one, and then starts to place things in the basket. He feels like a dumbass hauling it over to the registers, like everyone can see right through him.
He has to remind himself that this is for a good cause, that it’ll be worth it when everyone is enjoying themselves at the party. His actions won’t be in vain. Even after the second trip with another cart full of beer and various liquor bottles, Haknyeon keeps repeating affirmations in his head. This has to be the party.
In fact, he thinks his thoughts have manifested into reality when he sees you walking into the grocery store at the same time he’s leaving. You’re his pretty Bio lab partner. He’s always too nervous to hold a substantial conversation with you, so he settles for the bare minimum, which is unfulfilling small talk during your labs. It’s never what he needs though. Aside from your name, Haknyeon knows nothing about you.
“Y/N?” What he wants right now, however, is to shoot himself in the foot for sounding so unsure.
You glance up from your phone, a smile lighting up your face when you recognize him. “Haknyeon! Hey! What’s up?”
“Last minute preparations for the TBZ party tonight,” he gestures at his shopping cart with pursed lips. “You?”
“That’s so funny that you say that! My friends and I are going—“ You eye his cart with confusion. “Wait, I didn’t know you were in Tau Beta Zeta.”
“Yeah…” Haknyeon laughs awkwardly. “Surprise!”
You giggle, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear. “I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but you don’t seem like the frat boy type. Then again, TBZ isn’t your average frat so, I guess that kinda adds up.”
Haknyeon’s not sure if he should take that as a compliment or not, but since it’s coming from you, he decides that he will. The realization that you mentioned you’d be attending the party finally sets in at that same moment. “So, I’ll see you later, then?”
You nod, smile widening. “Yeah, I’m just grabbing a bottle for us to bring with. But I’ll be there. Maybe we’ll bump into each other.”
God, he hopes so. This is the perfect opportunity for him to swoop in and learn everything he’s been dying to know about you. His tongue pokes the inside of his cheek. “I don’t know… I’m a busy man. It might be a little hard.”
That cute little laugh of yours makes another appearance. “I’ll be on the lookout, don’t worry. See you tonight, Haknyeon.”
Ju Haknyeon thinks that he must’ve done something monumental in a past life, like saving a dog from a burning building or stopping a world war. How else would the universe reward him this kindly? All he can do is wave as you maneuver around an elderly couple passing by into the store.
Maybe Kevin Moon wasn’t that bad. And maybe Lee Sangyeon wasn’t as big of a tyrant as he made him out to be. He could actually kiss the ground they walked on for forcing him into alcohol duty. If it weren’t for them, he wouldn’t have ran into you and he wouldn’t have known you were attending the party. Now he has something to look forward to that isn't getting shitfaced.
“What the hell are you wearing?”
Haknyeon looks away from his mirror, Hyunjae standing in the doorway. He has a cringe on his face at the sight of his outfit. It wasn’t the worst thing he’s ever worn, but it was… a bit too much. A black button up and black slacks was admittedly not the best frat party fit. The only good thing he had going for him was his hair that was styled for once, parted so his bangs framed his face nicely.
“This girl I’m kinda into is coming tonight. I need to look irresistible.” The younger explains, arms flailing at his sides.
“Okay, well you won’t accomplish that in this,” Hyunjae snorts, digging through his closet. “If she’s into you too, she won’t care what you’re wearing. Just throw on something you’d normally wear. Like… this! This is nice.”
Hyunjae holds up a black t-shirt and a black-washed denim jacket. Haknyeon hums. It was simple, but also once he put it on he wouldn’t feel like a douchebag, which was the whole goal here. Paired with some khaki cargo pants, he’s found a winner. He begrudgingly thanks his senior for the assistance, shooing him out of his bedroom so he can mentally prepare for the night ahead of him.
He doesn’t even know what to bring up now that he really tosses the idea around in his head. Yeah, he wants to learn more about you and what you’re like outside of your Bio lab, but specifically what he couldn’t say. Haknyeon was starting to feel like a lost cause. He had to clutch up tonight. He had to woo you so much that you had no choice but to fall for his cute face and endearing personality. But how was he meant to do that if he couldn’t even come up with topics to talk with you about?
Maybe he was just thinking too far into things. Perhaps he should just let it all go with the flow. Moving at an au natural pace was probably his best bet in comparison to Sunwoo’s soccer ball plan. (He’s still confused how that worked in his favor.)
Before he knows it, the party is swinging into full effect. This is the first time Haknyeon’s ever been so socially aware of his surroundings. He had a habit of blurring his atmosphere at these things, more interested in getting drunk with his buddies than paying attention to the attendees. As he stands in a corner of the living room, listening to Chanhee complain about treasurer stuff, he watches each and every person who enters the house.
When you finally do walk in, he has to physically stop himself from choking on the beer in his cup, biting the rim of the plastic in a weak attempt to sedate himself. If he thought you were gorgeous before in a pair of leggings and a sweatshirt, he doesn’t know what to call you now. You’re laughing at something one of your friends said, dolled up in a black mini skirt and a black cropped halter top while hugging a bottle of Pink Whitney to your chest. He could probably pass out right here right now.
He almost does, but then Chanhee is slapping his back aggressively. “Wipe the drool off of your chin. God, am I the only one who still has a brain?”
“Shut the fuck up, Chanhee, go cry about your life somewhere else.” Haknyeon dismisses his senior, downing the rest of his drink for some liquid courage. Though he is, he doesn’t want to seem too desperate, so he’s not going up to you this quickly. Instead, he heads into the kitchen to get another drink, rolling his neck like he’s preparing for the biggest win of the century.
It’s as he’s pouring some jungle juice into a fresh cup that you see him. A smile similar to the one from the store graces your features. There was only one person with a back like that, and it was your cute lab partner. You keep an arm wrapped around your bottle, tapping his shoulder lightly. He spins around confusedly, but the expression morphs into pleasant surprise immediately after.
“Pink Whitney? Easy choice,” he points at the bottle in your grasp. “Are you a lightweight, Y/N?”
Your cheeks warm up at the teasing remark. Upon first meeting, Haknyeon’s been an awkward mess around you. You can only assume the confidence stems from the fact that he’s within his element. “That’s for me to know, and you to find out.”
“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were implying that you want me to get you drunk.” He tucks a hand into one of his jacket pockets, the other bringing his cup to his mouth. He’s unconscious of the source of this sudden bravery, but he prays it doesn’t fade off anytime soon.
“Maybe I do…” You bite your lip, undoing the seal of the Pink Whitney bottle to take a sip. It burns your throat slightly. “I’ve never hung out with a frat boy before. I kinda wanna see what the hype is all about.”
Haknyeon thinks he might pass out again, because if he wasn’t so acutely aware of your entire interaction, he would think you’re flirting with him. Friendliness was a double edged sword in this day and age. But who knows, maybe you are flirting. You showed up with your friends but they were nowhere to be found now. He needed to take advantage of the opening.
It’s around this time that Younghoon and Juyeon are bringing out the fated beer pong table, a crowd already beginning to form nearby. He feels sorry for the poor suckers who have to play Changmin and his girlfriend.
“We should play beer pong!” You suggest, watching the pair of taller guys setting up the cups over his shoulder. Haknyeon can sense the color draining from his face. If it had been anyone else, he would’ve shut the idea down insanely fast, but because it was you, he was genuinely contemplating. Those who went up against the infamous TBZ party beer pong champions were in for a rude awakening, but if you wanted to...
“Uh—“ He starts but then he’s interrupted.
“Yo! Who’s down to play Rage Cage?!”
Juyeon’s voice is somehow louder than the music, carrying into the kitchen where the two of you stand. Haknyeon wasn’t the greatest Rage Cage player, but he enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than beer pong. Especially when he stood beside people who didn’t understand the concept of the game.
You chug some more Pink Whitney, batting your eyelashes up at Haknyeon. “I’ve never played Rage Cage. Is it fun?”
“If you’re next to the right people it can be, but if you aren’t, then it’s a whole lot of drinking. We haven’t played Rage Cage at a TBZ party in a while, but the last time we did Eric Sohn almost had to get his stomach pumped.” He laughs a little at the memory of his friend spending the rest of his night cuddling with a toilet seat. The mental picture overshadows how enticing you look right now.
“Do you think you can teach me?” You ask sweetly, hoping that he takes the hint. He seemed like the type of guy who wouldn’t make the first move unless you forced him to, so it appeared that you had your work cut out for you.
“You wanna play?” He turns to you with wide eyes, almost as if he hadn’t expected you to show interest in the game. You give him a small nod, tucking some hair behind your ear. The truth of the matter was that you were a fucking liar. You’ve played Rage Cage plenty of times in the past. You were actually pretty decent at it, too. You just needed an excuse to spend the night around him.
“We better head over there now. It looks like the table is filling up.” You jab your pinkie in that general direction. Haknyeon blows a raspberry and leads you that way, his hand resting on the small of your back so he won’t lose you in the pack of people surrounding the table.
“Forewarning, my rap sheet doesn’t really read World Class Rage Cage Champ,” he laughs nervously, the anxiety beginning to eat at him all over again. “But I promise, I won’t let you get stacked.”
When Haknyeon said he wasn’t the worst, but wasn’t good at Rage Cage, you took his word. Except he severely overplayed his own skill. Maybe he was just extremely on edge and it threw off his game, but the amount of times he was stacked on was a little comical. At the very least, he kept his promise. You hadn’t got stacked once, but that was also only because Haknyeon would drink for you every time you almost did.
The room is sort of spinning by the time the first game has finished. Playing a drinking game while he’s trying to get to know you better was probably at the higher portion of his ‘BAD IDEAS!!!’ list. If he wasn’t so eager to please and followed along to each of your suggestions, perhaps he’d be having a different conversation. That was not the case, though.
You can’t help but feel a little guilty for the turn out. All you’d wanted was to flirt with your lab partner, possibly end the night with some making out. As it was looking, that’s not the path you were heading down, but rather towards the kitchen for some water to sober him up some. Your bottle of Pink Whitney is long lost, replaced with a bottle of H2O. You hold his chin, tilting it back slightly to pour some into his mouth.
If he hadn’t already had the fattest crush on you, he definitely did now. Pretty and nice? You were the total package. Here you were, nursing him back to sobriety when you could’ve been out and about enjoying yourself with your friends. Up this close, he gets a detailed look at you. It’s so weird for him to think about how much he’s pined after you since the start of the semester, how much he’s admired the face that’s looking at him with this unfamiliar tenderness. He never thought he stood a chance. You know, that whole ‘nice guys finish last’ pick me boy vibe.
“Y/N—” He’s cut short, Juyeon’s voluminous voice resonating throughout the house again, sans the music.
“Everybody who isn’t Tau Beta Zeta, get the fuck out! Someone called the cops!”
Of course. Nobody ever calls the cops on a TBZ party but of fucking course the one time Haknyeon gets shoot his shot with you, someone narcs. He actually thinks he might die. He might keel over and die in the middle of this party while the cops are raiding the place. Lee Sangyeon is gonna be thrown in the back of a police cruiser for letting people drink underage and then send them his way because he bought all of the alcohol. This was just his luck.
Without a word, you grab his hand and drag him out through the back door. You follow the flock of other party goers escaping the wrath of the police. It’s difficult to run in a mini skirt and strappy heels, but you don’t really have room to whine about it. Haknyeon doesn’t know if there’s ever a right time to tell you that you could’ve just gone up to his room, but figures it’s too late when you're hopping the short fence that goes out to the main street of Greek Row.
One would think that he’d sobered up at this point since he was, you know, on the run from the law. Yet for some reason Ju Haknyeon himself doesn’t even know, he’s still feeling the effects of the alcohol, tripping over that stupid fucking fence and falling flat on his face. Thankfully, he lands on the grassy part just before the sidewalk, but it doesn’t make the situation any less embarrassing.
You don’t give him recovery time, pulling him to his feet. He holds a hand to the side of his face that received the harshest of the impact, expecting to wake up to a nasty bruise tomorrow. He’s also unsure where exactly you’re taking him, but is afraid of asking out of fear that you’ll send his ass back to the frat house and have him arrested or something. (He had a bad habit of over complicating situations and coming up with the worst possible scenarios.)
Once the commotion has died out and there’s no one else around, you slow your pace. You turn to face him with a grin, holding both of his hands in yours as you walk backwards. “Are you cool with staying the night at my place?”
Truly, Haknyeon needs to know what act of nobility he committed in his previous life. He needs to go back in time and thank himself for whatever it was. Even with fumble after fumble, he was somehow bouncing back and receiving major compensation for sticking it out. He swallows thickly, nodding dumbly when he realizes he hasn’t given you a proper response.
“Um… Yeah— I mean— yes. That’s fine. That’s totally fine.” He word-vomits, stumbling over his tongue rather than his feet. Being down bad was one of his strongest personality traits. And being clumsy was second strongest, so you don't even have to imagine how terrible a combination of both would be.
The walk to your apartment knocks any lingering inebriation out of his system. He’s entirely too hyper aware of what’s happening as you guide him in that direction. It’s cooler out, the temperature dropping in the nighttime as the end of the semester approaches. If there was another reason to be grateful for this party, it was because he no longer had to worry about not making a move before your last lab together. As much as he despised Biology, he’d take it every day if it meant getting to see you.
He actually feels like he may throw up as you reach your place, his hands sticking into the pockets of his jacket to hide the clamminess of his palms. His nerves are creeping up on him once more, a dark cloud looming over him. He shouldn’t be this jumpy at this point of the night. He should be composed, prepared to sweep you off your feet after spending so much time with you. Why the hell is he sweating bullets right now?
“Welcome to my humble abode,” you curtsy. “Would you like something to drink? Water, maybe?”
“Th-That would be great,” Haknyeon forces out, waddling behind you into the kitchen like a baby duckling following its mother. “You have a nice apartment.”
“Really? Thank you!” You can’t help but giggle at his jitters and the way he keeps rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet. A sense of déjà vu rushes over you when you pass him a cup. “Living alone has its perks, I guess. I like that I don’t have to argue with anyone about how to decorate and things like that.”
“It sounds a lot more enjoyable than living with a bunch of men in their early twenties,” he smiles weakly as he accepts the glass of water from you. “I don’t think I’ll ever get used to how thin the walls are in that house.”
“Do they have sex often?” You ask him bluntly, head cocking to the side almost innocently. He chokes on the water he just sipped, nearly spilling it onto the floor.
“W-What?” He sputters.
“I’m assuming that’s what you’re talking about,” you shrug, facing away from him so you can grab yourself something to drink, also. “We should get back at them.”
You don’t know how many more bones you can throw for him to understand what you're insinuating. Even the frat boy comment you made earlier was intentional. Haknyeon’s mouth goes dry and his eyes widen like a cartoon character’s. What the fuck?
“I’ve never brought a girl back to the house before, because I don’t want them to make fun of me or something— not that I’m saying I would take you back to the house! I mean I just would feel bad if you also got made fun of— not that I’m referring to having sex with you or anything!” The glass in his hands is on the verge of slipping from his grip. “Not that I don’t want to have sex with you— oh my god— um wow, that’s a very lovely fruit bowl you have there I—“
“Hak,” you interject his rambling, wearing a mischievous smile.
The nickname drives him fucking insane. Scratch him possibly dying. If he isn’t dead by the end of the night, he’ll be shocked. Perplexed. Perturbed. Puzzled. Any shock-adjacent synonym you can think of. That will be him. “Y-Yes?”
“Can you shut up and kiss me already?”
Honestly, you don’t have to ask him twice. His lips are on yours in seconds, fingers fisting the material of your skirt at your hips to steel himself. You moan in response to the sheer frenzy behind his actions. It’s so easy to lose yourself in the haste of it; the way you tug at his hair, the blunt edges of his nails digging into your sides, the near clashing of your teeth. He nibbles at your bottom lip, sighing when you allow his tongue to permeate your mouth. He’s content to do nothing but this, kissing you is enough to satiate the desire he’s harbored for you for months. However, with the franticness of your kiss, he knows you want more.
He inches you both backwards until your lower back hits the counter, and then he’s cupping beneath your thighs to hoist you up. His strength sends tidal waves pulsing throughout your whole being, hurriedly pushing the material of his denim jacket off of his shoulders and letting it fall to the floor without a care. Your hands travel south as his lips trail along your jaw and neck, sucking and biting your supple skin wherever he feels fit. He hisses into the dip where your collarbone meets your shoulder when you palm him through his pants.
“Fuck, babe, you want me bad, don’t you?” He mutters into the column of your throat, teeth sinking into the flesh after.
“Mhmm,” you whine, craning your neck to give him more access to the surface. It’s like a switch has flipped in him and it turns you on unbearably. This is what you’ve been trying to coax out of him all night.
Haknyeon pries apart your legs, slotting himself between them so he can sneak his fingers beneath your skirt. His thumb rubs tight circles into your clothed clit, the lace of your underwear damp with your arousal. He connects your lips again, groaning into your kiss when he moves the fabric aside and slides his knuckle through your folds. You buck up your hips, whimpering when he holds them down with his forearm.
“Want more,” you gasp when he applies a bit of pressure to your sensitive bundle of nerves.
“‘More’ what? Use your words, princess,” he instructs, tracing your entrance with his ring finger.
You shake your head because you’re not even sure what it is that you want. You just know that this isn’t enough to quell the hunger burning at your chest. It’s not nearly sufficient to fan the flames in the depths of your heart or the ache in the pit of your abdomen. You need him everywhere. It’s beyond him being your cute Bio lab partner now.
He urges you onto your elbows, pecking the plane of your stomach. He pushes up your skirt and discards your panties, baring you to the cool air of your apartment. Your eyes flutter shut when he kisses your clit gently. Your head is light and airy and it’s like you’re on cloud nine. Haknyeon hums against you, pulling off to scold you.
“Eyes open, baby,” he nudges his nose on your pelvic bone. “Want you to watch me eat you out.”
The moan you release is strained, like it had been confined in the back of your throat for ages until this moment. He flattens his tongue and licks a line from your hole to your clit, suckling the engorged skin and repeating. Your eyelids are heavy, keeping your intense gaze on him as he all but makes out with your pussy. He focuses his mouth on your clit and slips his middle finger into you. He pumps it in and out languidly, setting a rhythm that matches each swirl of his tongue around your clit.
The whole scene still feels unreal to both of you, like you might wake up from a wet dream or something. How was it possible that Ju Haknyeon was finger fucking you on your kitchen counter? Just a couple days ago, you were sitting side by side in your Biology lab, too nervous to initiate a substantial conversation. You’d think it would be harder to slob on someone’s knob than it would be to talk to them while wearing a fuckass lab coat and goggles.
Haknyeon works his forearm up, pinning down your thighs so your cunt is fully accessible. He adds a second finger to the mix, thrusting them at a higher speed and increasing the unrelenting sucking of your bundle of nerves. He can tell you’re creeping closer towards your climax with the way your walls clench around him and your hips continue to jerk up. And considering the kind of person he was, you figured he would aid you rather than hinder you. But you figured wrong.
He slows his assault, removing his mouth from your clit and leaving the stimulation at just his two fingers. You whine, lip quivering when he looks up into your eyes.
“W-Why are you— what are you doing?” You plead, hating the tone of your voice. The tables have turned, with you sitting beside desperation. This is so unlike you— so unlike the usual domineering aura you exude during sex— your body reacting differently to the power falling through the cracks within your grasp.
“Don’t you wanna savor the moment, princess?” He sounds so cocky, a far cry from the wavering confidence you’d always seen out of him. He kisses the skin of your inner thighs, moving closer and closer to the area you need him most, all the while he continues curling and uncurling his fingers.
The precipice of your orgasm is right there, you can almost taste it on the tip of your tongue. But Haknyeon holds it just out of reach, dangling it in your face like teasing a dog with a chew toy. Tears prick at the corner of your eyes, a false sense of hedonism building and building, then slowly ebbing away each time he retracts. You open your mouth, but no sound comes out.
Just when you’ve given up hope, he adds a third finger and wraps his lips around your clit, sucking harshly. The sudden and unexpected intrusion snaps that familiar cord in half, blinding you with white hot pleasure. The groan that escapes from the base of your chest is guttural, echoing throughout the kitchen. You don’t have it in you to worry about waking your neighbors, especially not when you feel the curve of a smile against your cunt, such an uncharacteristic response from Haknyeon.
Your legs spasm as the height of your orgasm calms. You pull him down for a wanton kiss, tangling your fingers in his hair. He laughs at the role swap, hands flat on the counter to hold him over you. “Feel good?”
“So good, Hak,” you murmur into his lips. “Think you can fuck me like that next?”
“So impatient,” he snickers, pecking along your jaw once more. “But since you’ve been so good for me, I think it’s only fair that I return the favor.”
You clumsily undo the button and zipper of his cargoes, pushing them down with your foot. He steps out of them and kicks them away while simultaneously removing his t-shirt. You take your top off and shimmy out of your skirt, raising an eyebrow at the narrowed look in his eyes. “What?”
“Do you have a condom?”
“No,” you poke your cheek with your tongue. “But, I don’t care if you wear one. I’d rather feel you raw, anyway.”
His forehead drops to your shoulder. “God, you’re killing me. Okay.”
He shoves down his briefs and you have to stop yourself from gawking at his size. While he wasn’t the biggest, he was definitely bigger than anyone else you’ve ever been with. He pumps himself a couple times, guiding his length to your entrance and throwing his head back when the tip presses into you. This was really happening, holy shit. Ju Haknyeon was actually having sex with you.
Your toes curl and you stab your nails into your palms to distract from the stinging stretch. He eases into you with the occasional grunt, minding your expressions for any signs of discomfort. When all he sees is your features contorted to display pleasure, he resumes. By the time he’s bottomed out completely, both of you are moaning messes. You feel so full, stuffed to the brim with the weight of his cock.
“I’ve wanted to be inside of you for so fucking long,” he admits, speaking the words into your sticky skin as he drags himself out only to piston back in. The action throttles you a bit, your eyes tempted to roll to the back of your head from how fucking good it feels. You can’t conjure coherent thoughts to properly convey how many endorphins are coursing through your veins.
Haknyeon sets a pace that combines the perfect amount of speed and depth, the tip of his cock brushing that spot deep in your cunt. Your brain is hazy and your vision blurs, hardly able to see anything in front of you. His mouth attaches to the pulse point on your neck, ensuring he bruises the area.
“Y-You’re— fuck— you’re s-so deep, Hak. I can feel you all over,” you wail, bringing one of his hands to tamp your lower stomach. The pressure contributes to the growing tension of your second orgasm, something you know will collide into you with even more exertion than the first.
“Yeah? You’re taking me s-so well, baby. No one else has ever fucked you this good, right?” Sweat beads on his hairline, dripping down his temples with every thrust of his hips and every drive of his cock into your sweet pussy. Even if he really did somehow manage to die tonight, he could do it with integrity. He could go out with the honor of a fallen soldier knowing that he got to experience this at least once in his life.
He hikes one of your knees up to your chest, burying his dick deeper if humanly possible. You arch your back, pushing into his chest to minimize the space between you, antsy at the promise of another release as mind blowing as the last. He brings you to the edge of the counter so you’re now hip to hip. Haknyeon snakes a hand in the middle of your bodies, using his thumb to rub circles into your clit. That stimulation coupled with the depth of his cock encourages the fluttering of your walls, in turn drawing out the state of bliss you’ve been chasing.
Your vision goes blank, stars painting the behinds of your eyelids. A second orgasm crests upon you and evokes a moan so pornographic, it sounds far away from you. It’s a dreamlike euphoria, an almost out of body experience that puts every other orgasm to shame. The surface of your skin is hot to the touch.
“Where do you want me, princess?” Haknyeon asks breathily. In the calamity of your own release, you nearly forgot about his until you register the twitching inside of you. It pauses the static in your ears, returning the volume of the world to its normality.
“Cum inside of me,” you whine, the overstimulation becoming too much to handle. He doesn’t need to be told another time, grip tightening on your thigh as he spills into your cunt.
The two of you stay still for a moment, allowing clarity to flow into your brains. You wince when he finally has half the mind to pull out, his nose scrunching up at the sensitivity. He slides his underwear back on, extremely conscious of how naked he is right now. He has an inkling that you were anticipating that this would happen, because why else would you ask him to stay over tonight? But, he is the Ju Haknyeon that you’ve sat next to this entire semester in your Biology lab. So he couldn’t just march forward without a little overthinking and self deprecation.
“Do you still want me to stay?” His voice has reverted back to that small, unsure tone. You sit up quickly, alarmed by the twinge of disappointment underneath it.
“Of course, I do,” you pout, kissing his cheek and lacing your fingers together. “I’ve had a crush on you since the beginning of the year, Hak. Sure, maybe I skipped a couple steps in between, but I have wanted this so badly— I have wanted you so badly— for you don’t even know how long.”
He chuckles, tucking some hair behind your ear. He leaves a sweet kiss on your lips, softer and gentler than the ones from earlier that night. He’s intentional with the way he glides them in harmony, like he was following the melody of the most beautiful song. “Oh trust me, I think I have an idea.”

The reason why Su-Won chose to kill Il on Yona’s birthday
Dunno if I made a similar post before (I’ll check) but if we’re going by the whole notion that Su-Won wasn’t going to “put up Yona’s box” aka prioritize her, then I am guessing that he chose her birthday as it was the only day that guaranteed to kill Il for whatever reason. Like perhaps it was the most efficient way to go about it… and regardless of that day being Yona’s birthday, he didn’t prioritize that.
BECAUSE MY DUDE WAS BLOODTHIRSTY ABOVE ALL ELSE
Honestly this is still for vengeance over everything. Like in ch 197, if you recall, Su-Won tells Yon-Hi:
Tumblr media
He could have literally made Il step down without killing him. Dude wanted to personally stab him that night and carelessly left the door open thinking Yona wouldn’t walk in, and he was wrong and then he had to chase her and Hak which risked his entire reign……..
His reasoning is so dumb tho too. He’s like “I cannot prioritize Yona, must make efficient decisions or else country ruined”
Tumblr media
But what he really fails to realize is how his biases towards his dad were already coloring his view - he couldn’t fathom that NOT killing Il might have been a lot more efficient than getting revenge… seriously think about it. Killing Il antagonized his friends and allies, whereas forcing him to step down without making enemies (ex: Hak who wants him dead 💀 and the Wind Tribe that was willing to rebel) is literally more efficient.
I just don’t get it. Like if Soo-Won wanted revenge, just force the bastard off the throne and make him watch you marry his kid against his wishes with everyone else supporting it just to spite him. Like that is already more efficient enough and unites tribes.
But noooo, he had to chose the unnecessarily violent path that puts the nation in danger.
Even Judo is telling him to get off his bullshit because he is not acting for the country at all, he is a very hypocritical man:
Tumblr media
Yeah, he was overcome with sentiment.
So hypocritical. To Su-Won, anything Yu-Hon does is right and efficient and good for the country and anything related Yona does is “inefficient and prioritizing one person over everything else” and it’s literally the opposite which he only started realizing slowly this arc which is fucking hilarious
like when he tried to kill Mei-Nyan cause “Il killed daddy” to the point of forgetting his mother’s pain:
Tumblr media
(Note once again he is trying to separate Yona from the situation) but SHE had to remind him of HIS mom:
Tumblr media
And for instance Geun-tae saving Yona:
Tumblr media
He’s all “I have chosen” (we know he hasn’t) and it’s Geuntae this time who shows him that he’s being an idiotic daddy’s boy:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And he goes against Su-Won to help Yona out.
Tumblr media
“As father taught me” - WHAT A DADDY'S BOY.
Your father taught you not only how to eliminate enemies, but HOW to make enemies dude…. like yes there are times when making enemies is inevitable but you just made enemies for the heck of it….. which is so dumb….
Tumblr media
Again he realized this only this arc.
Seriously speaking too, I don’t even Yu-Hon even wanted his brother dead. Like even someone as twisted as Yu-Hon killed Kashi to protect Il, and he never raised his sword against him either. Which is why I wonder what his reaction would be if he knew Su-Won killed him…
You killed Il not because you had to, but because you wanted to. Let’s make that clear.
The story blurs the lines and people get confused all the time, but no one is changing my mind on this. He put his personal desire of revenge through stabbing over just making Il step down…. Taking that throne may have been for the country, but that stabbing was for personal revenge.

"Do you want to build a snowman?" ~ Ju Haknyeon
Tumblr media
It was a snowy day and you were very happy. You loved the snow and watching it fall slowly. It was something you loved from a young age. You were curled up with a blanket, a mug of hot chocolate and a random movie playing as you watched the snow fall gently. It was calming and quiet, until your phone rang. You glanced at the caller ID and saw it was your best friend, basically brother, Haknyeon. You smiled and accepted the call.
"Do you want to build a snowman~" He sang down the phone, making you giggle.
"Yes!" You exclaimed.
"Yay! Want to come over to the dorms? I can come pick you up." He suggested.
"Sure! Sounds good!" You replied happily.
"Cool, see you in ten." He said before hanging up the call.
You smiled and threw the blanket off your body and quickly got changed into some warm and comfy clothes. You slipped on a sweatshirt (that belongs to Hak), some black leggings and a pair of boots. You also put on a thick coat, scarf and gloves, just before you heard honking outside.
You left your home and saw Haknyeon pulled up outside in his car. You went over quickly slipping into the passenger seat of the warm vehicle.
"Let's build a snowman!" He exclaimed.
You smiled as he drove towards the dorms, as it was only ten minutes, you soon arrived and went to the back to see some of the others messing around in the snow. They all greeted you cheerfully before you and Haknyeon started on your snowman.
As you both talked and rolled the snow up to build a large snowman, the other members gathered inside to watch you both through the kitchen window.
"They look so happy." Juyeon mentioned.
"Of course, Hak's got his girly friend." Changmin teased.
"When will he tell her that he likes her?" Jacob questioned.
"Never, he's too worried about breaking the friendship." Kevin answered.
"But she likes him too, so what's the harm?" Sunwoo called.
"He doesn't know she likes him and she doesn't know he likes her, basic drama love story." Eric said.
They just laughed and watched you both. Haknyeon had made the body for the snowman, as you had finished the head. Both of you rolled it over and placed it on top, happy with the figure and just needed to add some stones and twigs for characteristics.
After another ten minutes, your snowman was finished. You both smiled happily at the large figure that sat proudly in the middle of the garden.
"It looks good." You said, as Haknyeon nodded in agreement.
It then started to lightly snow again, flakes hit your nose gently, the cold chill was bitter sweet. You looked up at Haknyeon, who was standing right next to you, smiling down at you.
"What?" You called.
"Your....just really pretty." He mumbled, your cheeks heating up at the complement.
"Your not too bad yourself." Your replied with a giggle, the male smiling at your words.
"Can....Can I kiss you?" He asked quielty.
You felt your heart jumping and nodded quickly. Haknyeon smiled and pulled you in gently, his lips on yours. The kiss was gentle, soft and sweet. It made you all warm and fuzzy inside, perfect on such a cold day.
The other guys watched, cheering quietly, happy for you both to have finally gone for it.
When you pulled away, your cheeks were a rosy red colour and so were Hak's. You both giggled and looked down, your hands intertwined together.
"Want to go inside and get a warm drink?" He asked.
"Yeah." You answered with a nod.
You both headed inside, to the kitchen, the others all looking occupied as if they hadn't just watched you both share your first kiss together. Not until Hyunjae spoke.
"So...you both dating now?" He asked.
"Dude!" Younghoon exclaimed.
"Oh, wasn't I supposed to say something?" He replied, making you all laugh.
You smiled and would have never thought that building a snowman would lead to you kissing your best friend and long time crush, but you were very happy about it.

Tumblr media
Now people would expect Hak to be the most social or extroverted since he's the loudest and the most confident out of all 4 enforcers (not counting Valmont).
But he isn't.
Dude is the most social anti - social person I've ever seen if that makes sense.
That's what I like about him.
He subverts expectations.
Like I know that Hak being a social butterfly isn't exactly aligning with his work or job but he's a part of a team now, dude has to communicate and at least tolerate the others.
Tumblr media
I understand the dude is the type that's just there for a paycheck, but considering the fact that the only time he pays attention to the other enforcers is when he complains to them about petty s**t or finally decides to do his job and lead them for a change like Valmont told him to just for an ego boost.
And the fact that he's had multiple chances to leave the enforcers and just doesn't for some reason.
Tumblr media
Like he tried making it on his own in Season 2 in that godawful episode where one of the writers decided to implement their fetish in the show by shrinking Jackie and Hak and it was just them fighting the whole episode with occasional jumps to Uncle and Jade's shenanigans. (yes even though this is technically a Hak Foo episode I don't like Shrink Rap, it really didn't utilize him well at all, l know Hak can have a good episode if written correctly the show just didn't care about him and threw him a bone in the form of one of the worst filler episodes I've seen in history)
Tumblr media
He somehow came back in the middle of Season 3 (even though he was shrunk and trapped in a jar at the end of Shrink Rap) just to destroy the other enforcers that were turned into Dark Chi Warriors before being turned into one himself.
Tumblr media
Like why did he come back? I know because of plot convenience and the fact that they were still trying to keep him involved in the show (even though he only appeared in 3 episodes in Season 3) but it doesn't make sense.
How tf did he even know the enforcers were there to begin with, was he stalking them or something?
I know people will say he was only there for the power of the Ox talisman but why did he feel the need to destroy the other enforcers, they didn't pose a threat to him and were pretty cordial considering how Hak acted, he knows this considering all three are afraid of him.
He literally just did that to showboat, simple as that.
I seriously think the dude is an intense attention whore, always looking to impress or brag but when it comes to actually participating as a team player dude wants nothing to do with it unless he takes all the credit.
Considering the fact that Hak was apparently Valmont, Wong and Tarakudo's favorite out of the bunch (get your own whore assholes) and the other enforcers were the only ones who would be willing to listen to Hak's bulls**t and complaining, I think that's the only reason he stayed after getting stuck with the other enforcers and dealing with the new demonic boss of the week (besides the cool new opportunities he was gifted)
Tumblr media
Example: He was literally crying and complaining to Finn and Chow about not getting an Oni mask and was upset that everybody was focusing on Ratso and the baseball game, thinking it silly that he wasted such a gift.
But Ratso was being an asshole to Hak so I don't blame Hak for getting mad (Ratso you're on my s**tlist)
So after another long ass paragraph essay, in short, he is therefore an attention whore because I said so.

Saaaaab how fuckin' good is HOTS? It's so very good, and I just want to yell about the episodes everywhere. I feel like I have a long essay in my head about it, especially concerning episode 4. I am so curious to see how episode 5 - the episode where he lost his mind! - goes, and then how things wrap up in Gwangju with Neuron.
So just some random things:
The fact that he filmed these episodes around other major events - MAMA, NYRE, Paris Fashion Week, the on the street filming - honestly still blows my mind.
I love that we're getting to see Hobi interact both with older mentors of his and mentors of his mentors. Like, it sounds like Hoseok got instruction from Lock Woong when he was a trainee, but also that Hak Nam was trained by him to some extent, too - that's such a cool thread of continuity! But not only that, I'm glad that we're seeing Hobi with mentors 10, 20, 30 years older than him. There's this idea that dancing has an expiration date - it's a key part of "Black Swan," for instance - and I've felt like Hoseok (and Jimin) leaning into music so much partially comes from recognition of that. So it's really good to see people show that _not_ being the case, that these are passions he can keep pursuing for the rest of his life.
The choice of "Still Life" and "People pt. 2" for these episodes is just so, so good, both because the dances to them were bangers (his dance to "Still Life" is just a piece of JOY and I want to watch it a thousand more times) and because of how thematically they connect. Like, I wondered for the longest time why he went with "People pt. 2" as his choice to dance to - but wow, does it make a perfect thematic fit for this episode. Both of them are such good thematic fits for their episodes, tbh, and then I just get all in my emotions about rapline and their bond with each other again. And I am fascinated by the version of the "People pt. 2" choreo they used, because it is _not_ what was uploaded before, nor what he showed Yoongi on SUCHWITA - it's much moodier in nature, I think.
Speaking of music, I have never grinned as hard at the screen than I did at the three-way dance to "Rapper's Delight." Fuckin' aces, that.
And one last thing: I mentioned before that I hadn't expected to see so much on the production side of things, but it's also super interesting how it contrasts with the dancing in the episodes. Hoseok's known for being confident in his dancing, less so in his music, but the way these episodes are structured is the exact opposite of that. All of his vulnerabilities come out in relation to the dancing: the quick way the project got off the ground; his feeling that he's lacking or won't be able to execute the way he needs to; how much he's striving to reconnect with the roots of his love of dancing by exploring all these different styles (and let me tell you, I have never related to Hobi more as a 30+ adult than watching him approach his 30s and suddenly become fascinated with roots). He looks far more relaxed and confident in the ending credit studio bits, and I think that really highlights the difference between this and _j-hope In the Box_. And I love that choice.
--also the choice to credit the entire crew of the Lockers in episode 3. And their definitions of the dance styles so far have been super on point for tiny paragraphs in the corner of the screen.
All in all, I'm so, so glad this has turned out to be as good as it has. And I really hope if there is a Volume 2 that he tries even more different kinds of styles in all new places. Honestly, if he wanted to do ten volumes of this series, I would be there for every one, because it's just such a delight.
OMG another wonderful essay on Hoseok and everything HOTS!!!
I had the same thought when watching episode 4 about how he managed to film this docu in the middle of EVERYTHING ELSE he was doing in 2022...like dude, WTF???? The others were saying he was the busiest man alive and based on what we KNEW that seemed true, but it was a whole damn understatement actually, we barely scratched the surface of how much he was doing that year into 2023, he's insane! Hardest working man in the industry for real...
I could cry actually about how beautiful of a point that dance is for anyone at ANY AGE! Because yes, yes, and YES! The idea that the older someone gets they might have to slow down or stop doing something they love 'cause you ''grow out of it'' is total bullshit, like if you're physically ABLE to, nothing should stop you from continuing. Dancing is not something that has an age limit, nothing warms my soul quite like seeing old people dance 'cause it's about expressing joy and movement and is a way we enjoy music! So yes, I also love him including dance masters of older ages, showing him and others that you can keep doing what you love for however long you wanna do it!
I don't feel like I need to add more to your points 'cause you said it all perfectly and I feel and think pretty much exactly the same way about all of it, from his song choices from the other RL members, to the song choices in general throughout the whole docu have been pretty on point, and how fascinating it's been to see him talk through and process his thoughts and feelings about his career as a dancer, rapper, song-writer, and everything else he is, both in his confidence and his uncertainty, and how Hak Nam talks him through those thoughts and feelings. I just love it all! I can't believe it'll be over by next week, I feel like I'm gonna be crying through the entire last episode...also praying for Volume 2, 'cause yes, if he wanted to do more I'd watch every single one and love every bit of it!

FAVORITE KDRAMA CHARACTERS
Tumblr media
dong gu, welcome to waikiki. he's probably my favorite male lead lmao. he's such a mess and so, so petty but i've got a weakness for grumpy dudes who are secretly soft and i think he's a good example of that trope executed well
Tumblr media
kimura shunji, bridal mask/gaksital. LMAO favorite =/= endorsement, but he's my personal favorite villain/antagonist in a kdrama. his arc is just so well-executed and grim and park ki woong totally crushed it
Tumblr media
yoon sae beom, happiness. she's a total gremlin but also very cool and kickass and there was something just really believable? about this character.
Tumblr media
do hyun soo, who would like to be included with his wife cha ji won, flower of evil. my favorite performance of lee joon ki, and such a layered character mixed up with Wife Guy is pretty much an unbeatable combo.
Tumblr media
eun dan oh, extraordinary you. SASS queen but also peppy/high energy without being annoying. dan oh brought so much life into the drama and she was my favorite part about it it
honorable mentions
kang bae, weol ju, and gwi, mystic pop-up bar
man wol, hotel del luna
moo hak, dali and the cocky prince
hwi oh, mad for each other
seo jin, kairos

Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza 2022
Home Is Where the Pack Is
read on ao3
Boisterous laughter filled the clearing, smiling faces lit up by the fire, as drinks and food were passed around. Even though the sun had set hours ago, summer was in full swing, the sound of cicadas humming in the distance. Hogs and deer were roasting above the flames, the tender meat ready to fall off the bone, while giant jugs of sake left them feeling warm and fuzzy. It’s the perfect night for a celebration.
Blue eyes glanced around at his tribe, the wolves chomping on bones and many of the demons joked with each other as two packs joined together. At the head of their den sat Koga and Ayame, Prince and Princess of the Eastern Ookami. As he sat next to his brother Hakkaku, Ginta finally felt whole.
“Hey Hak, can you believe we are finally celebrating those lovebirds' mating ceremony? I mean, three years ago, we were following Koga around as he hunted down Naraku, avenging our brothers’ deaths.”
“I know!” Hakkuku shoveled another bite of hog in his mouth, wiping the juice dripping down his chin before letting out a belch, “Who knew we would be back here, sitting with our pack after all the shit that went down?”
“Remember that time we ran into Inuyasha’s scary brother?” He shivered, the flash of Sesshoamru’s icy glare appearing across his mind.
“Dude, I know! I thought he was gonna kill us!”
“But did you hear that Kagome married Inuyasha? She came back after being gone for so long.”
“Our sister got mated?! That’s so great for them, we should go visit sometime.” Hakkaku waved the leg in the air as a couple of their brothers fought over some dead carcass nearby. Taking a swig of whatever the next jug they were passing around, Ginta nodded, agreeing. I wonder what it would have been like if Kagome had mated Koga? Then she would truly be our sister, but anyone could see how much she loved the hanyou. Except for the two of them, of course.
“I still can’t believe that she and Inuyasha took out Naraku the way they did. I mean, I know they were powerful, but that demon was walking hell.” Standing up, Ginta held up the pigskin as everyone quieted.
“As we are celebrating our Prince Koga’s mating to the beautiful Ayame, I want to also remember our fallen brothers. Naraku and his incarnations were responsible for the slaughter of our family, but they have been avenged. Tonight, when we laugh with each other, we should always remember the ones before us, the ones who gave their lives so we could have ours. ” He finished his speech, his words echoing around him.
“That was the sweetest thing ever.” Ayame wiped a lone tear, while Koga stood, holding his own hand up for silence as thunderous applause surrounded them.
“Ginta is correct. Over the last few years, we have lost the people we cared most about, we have helped defeat the darkest evil that has ever walked this earth, and for finding the one we will spend the next lifetime with.” He smiled, sliding his hand in Ayame’s outstretched one. “I couldn’t have done it without the two I’ve known since we were cubs, the two I’m proud to call my brothers.”
He knew the tears were coming, but wasn’t prepared for the waterfall of emotions that this night would bring, especially as his twin leapt up and hugged him with his own outburst. Everyone cheered and clapped louder, passing around more food and drinks as the night went on. Just as Koga and Ayame were about to head inside to start trying for cubs of their own, he pulled them aside, a light blush on his cheeks.
“I know I’m not one to get emotional and shit, but seriously, I wouldn’t have made it through the last decade without the two of you.” He smiled, his fangs glinting in the fading moonlight.
“We would follow you to the ends of the earth if we had to.” Hakkaku slung his arm over Ginta’s shoulders, his body heavy.
“We’re brothers.” Ginta shrugged, refusing to become a bundle of tangled emotions for the second time that night, “Wherever you are is home.”
“Ya know, the next celebration will be one of your mating ceremonies.” Koga bursted into laughter, running toward the cave’s entrance, a spark in his eyes. “Though I don’t know who would mind sharing with the other, but I’ll be front and center, cheering ya on.”

It's okay to ask a second part of the killers catching feelings? It can still be with the same three if you want.
ofc! I decided to go w/ new faces. both parts of the trio are linked below.
Masterlist
Previously; Ghostface, Myers and Legion [pt. 1] | [pt. 2]
Tumblr media
DbD Killers' Reaction to: Catching Feelings for You
|| Characters: Ji-woon Hak, Pyramid Head, Anna the Huntress
words: bout 2k
Tumblr media
Ji-woon Hak:
Tumblr media
"No! Left!" That was when he had first heard you, unlike the unlucky woman. Claudette was downed quick.
Admittedly, he was annoyed. For a survivor to dare scream someone else's name instead of his, in his trial. The nerve the new survivor had.
His face turned to the pathetic hiding place, if it could even be called that. You were aware that you'd be found soon enough, outing yourself had been a deliberate move. A last good deed, even. Yet, he looked angry? 'I'm making your job easier, dude.' You wanted to say.
The words were left unsaid as the killer stepped forward, walking over Claudette's arm.
Your eyes widened at the smallest things, how would you even react to the painful death Ji-woon had in mind for you? It was fun and too easy to startle you, but it didn't ease his annoyance.
Seeing your face and body clearly as he got closer, though, it did.. something.
Panicking, you backed away from him. His mood had transferred. Ji-woon grinned. Trying to get away, scaredy-cat?
In your clumsiness, you downed the pallet on your side, trapping you both. He almost laughed, until you slid over. You thought you had won when his face fell. But he sneered and walked to the other side. Fuck, I forgot, you hissed but luckily got to it before him. Phew, quick thinking. You breathed out at the successful attempt, feeling a little proud of yourself.
The passage was blocked completely and he was pissed once more. You wouldn't be able to do it had he took less time, looking at the frantic change of your facial expressions. He wanted to do would've done a lot, though.
As his feet moved to break the wooden cover, he saw your gaze behind him. Again? Seriously? The fuck. Why couldn't he get your attention? He cursed and looked behind. Once lying still on the floor, the survivor had healed fast for once. Claudette relaxed visibly for a second, unbeknownst to her watchers. She was thankful for you taking one for the team.
An idea came to his mind. A punishment, more like. For always doing the opposite of what he wanted from you. For not focusing on him when you should have. He'd put on a show for you, make sure you'd be watching him. Sure, the idol only loved himself, but that hadn't stopped him from doing the most for you to see him.
Flying blades hit the unfortunate Claudette one after another.
Protected behind the pallet, you watched as the horrific event took place. He winked as the dead body of your friend hit the ground with a loud thud.
Ji-woon pulled out a photo card from his pocket and threw it on to the corpse, playful eyes never leaving yours. Even with the distance, you flinched when he sent one last blade to pin his face down, the back of his victim.
He smirked, amused by the horror in your face. Just when you feared the worst, though, a luckily timed generator blew up. Ji-woon groaned. He wanted to deal with you, alas he had a job. Glaring at air he turned back and left like nothing happened.
Except he wasn't after the broken machine. Ji-woon needed to locate the hatch, he'd take care of the others after that. He wanted to make sure no survivor could heal you. His plans required privacy, for your screams wouldn't do anymore.
No distractions. Ji-woon wouldn't take less than your undivided attention, and he wasn't going to play nice for it. At least until you devoted yourself to the idol. Hopefully you'd worship him by the time he was done with you, his ego couldn't handle anything else. Either way, letting you walk away unharmed was the least thing he was thinking of.
Tumblr media
Pyramid Head:
Tumblr media
He feels weirdly protective, as if he isn't supposed to be the one causing pain.
Pyramid is used to the certainty in punishments, that's why he exists after all. It was extremely unlike the paranormal being to pause, but as the 8 feet man looked down at the pitiful figure, everything felt wrong.
You should've been running the other way, not staring up at the intimidating Executioner like a lost puppy. You knew that too, so what about the merciless killer gave you the idea that standing near him would be okay?
He wondered if you'd stare the whole time. It was doubtful he could accomplish his job if your.. fascination (?) went on. Weirdly enough, it wasn't one-sided. You'd touch him had you been more reckless than now. He had a task to do. So why did it interest him?
New survivors were more than frightened at the presence. Maybe it was your naivety that made him feel this way. "You need to be run." If he could talk, he'd say it.
Then you touched his great knife. He looked down as your fingers grazed the rust. What? What was this power you had him on? Maybe it wasn't naivety, but bravery. He had to give it to you, it was nothing like he'd experienced before.
He felt the tension. Were you itching to.. touch him? Your hand had made up its way through The Blight, almost touching his callous hands. And people thought he was strange. Still, he could get used to it and more of it. The initiative woke something in him. That wouldn't be good, for now. He grabbed the side of your waist and moved you to get past.
Hopefully you'd find him after the trial.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anna (the Huntress):
Tumblr media
Deranged humming filled the chilly air as Anna made rounds, looking between tall, ominous trees. She had been isolated for too long. Her crooning was getting more out of tune with each step forward, up until a hoarse caw put a stop to the traditional lullaby.
Her head turned to the target without missing a beat. Faint stretch marks covered the forest ground beyond her. Hands went to her long-range weapons by reflex. The precise hunter took big, self-assured steps towards the root of the sound.
The initiator had been none other than the new survivor. You were foreign to Mother's Dwelling and, in retrospect, most realms. The uncanny darkness didn't help illuminate the unnatural plantation surrounding you. It, however, made the paths identical. The worst issue of all, though, was coming right at you, your steady heartbeat revealed. The rabbit masked killer hadn't spotted the new survivor yet, but she would any second.
She was met with a tear filled face, hiding behind a rotting trunk, numb. The killer in front already had the advantage of her throwing hatchets. This made not running away into straight up choosing death. Why? It addled the woman. She stopped right in her tracks, remembering herself, in the same position, a long time ago. Regardless, the sight reminded her of the pained memory. She was watching a loved one's last moments while you were watching your own.
Heavy pain filled her chest and tears nearly forced out of her hidden eyes. Overcome with fury at her frozen body, Anna made a feral noise. The incomprehensible growl put a pause on your shaking. "Are you.. not going to kill me?" Despite the softly voiced question, you were the most confused you'd ever been since the Fog took you. Why is she mad? Any other monster would've been delighted.
The traumatic event cleared from her vision as she bared her teeth. The animalistic warning worked a little. Your fear stricken form got up in a hurry, putting distance between you immediately. 
Instincts, mind, feet. All were telling you book it. Leave right now, run, escape. Somehow it felt wrong to do, even against the possibility of your temporary demise. "Are you.. okay?"
Under the disguise, deadly eyes widened at the caring words. An inaudible gasp came out her trembling lips.
Some part wanted to express anger at pity while the other wondered why. You had offered your worry. She had more than the power and intention to end lives, including yours. Why? She hadn't grown up with people concerned about her, after all. She hadn't grown up hearing nice things at all, at least not after she was alone. Why? Why? Why? The question repeated in her mind. She couldn't imagine showing kindness to the hunt that teared her apart.
Growing up by herself, only the sounds of the wilderness had filled her tiny ears.
Before long, she got used to it, but loneliness was now as big as her, if not bigger. She wanted to take on the task her mother didn't have the chance to complete. The cries from the little girls she tried so hard to take care of had only showed she was incapable of it. 
She gave up. 
Anna felt fed up. She must've been useless at trying to take care of others, she figured. Madness took over. She started doing the exact opposite. Her experience in trying to survive with the flesh of other habitants of the woods made it come easier. At least she was skillful in hurting people, that's why Entity had chosen her.
Ever since coming here, she had only known two things. The gentle song of her mother. The shrieks and screams that pained survivors let out.
Not you, she hoped. 
She could bring herself to hurt you, possibly. Maybe if she tried.
But you had shown her care, like the one she lost. 
Anna didn't try. 
She turned her back and walked away. 
Perhaps you'd be the only one she'd care for and letting you go would be the start. Mysterious warmth spread her chest at the thought.

The Boyz reactions to dating someone outgoing/talkative
disclaimer lol: i’m really introverted so writing a character who is outgoing was a new experience haha. i hope this makes sense though <3
requested by: @jonghos-left-airpod <3
Sangyeon:
would be so invested in everything you said and did. like you’d be at a party and you’d be very emphatically talking with your friends, being the life of the party, and he’d just watch from a distance: in loveeee. you look so happy and everyone listening to you talking were smiling and happy because of you. you have a very kind and welcoming personality which just draws people towards you. sangyeon be standing beside you like “mhm, yup, this is my baby.” he would just love it when he overheard people talking about how fun you were.  occasionally some stuck up spoiled person who felt intimidated by you would start talking bad about you and sangyeon would just be like “????? excuse me??? what???? have you actually ever spent time with her??? she’s literally the kindest person there is!!!!”
Jacob:
opposites attract right?? well you and jacob certainly did! you met at a party and you noticed he was pretty quiet. you felt instantly attracted to him bc he was so sweet and cute! you really wanted to get to know him but you were afraid of intimidating him. but like girllllll he was so smitten with you!!!! you just filled the room with a pleasant and sweet aura like,, everyone was attracted to you bc you’re so talkative and nice! after you started dating he just like: heart eyes everytime you were with people, bc being with people brought out the best in you. he preferred staying home with just you, but he knew you like spending time with lots of people, so he respected that, and often tagged along with you bc, goodness when you were with people you were just so happy and cute and fun!!! 
Younghoon:
he would be like “what to do with this girl??” he sometimes feels a little jealous of all the attention you get. you never try to get a lot of attention on purpose, it just comes naturally bc you’re so outgoing and fun to be around. sometimes he’ll be watching from afar and then he’ll see some guy eyeing you up and so hoonie rushes over and puts his arm around your shoulder. he really tries not to be too overprotective, but gosh you’re so cute when you’re talking excitedly-- he can’t help but be a little afraid someone’s gonna try and steal you away ;-; sometimes when you’re talking with ppl, specifically his mother you’ll tease him a little bit and he’ll get all shy and blush and be like “stopppp” but he secretly loves it when you talk about him to others. he loves it even more when you’re like in a group of friends and they’re like “ come spend time with us more!! you’re always the life of the party!” and you’re just like “nope! I gotta bf who needs me more than y’all” and hoonie just gets super embarrassed but super pleased that you chose him over others.
Hyunjae:
oh lordy. the craziness. the fun y’all would have. when you guys show up to a party, or literally anywhere at all, everyone KNOWS you’re gonna make it a good time. you’re both super friendly and funny and….loud hahaha. sometimes when you’re in public you’ll both be so friendly to everyone that ppl will be like “ are they dating or are they siblings cuz it looks like they’re flirting with everyone???” but you aren’t haha and you both know that so you never have misunderstandings and stuff (you do flirt with each other all the time though ;-; )  sometimes your personalities will clash and you’ll get in a heated argument, but it doesn’t last long. you’ll both sulk for a little while and then be like “ hey,, wanna go get some ice cream “ and ofc you will and then you’ll quietly hold hands and eat your ice cream and feel better and apologize and everything and then go back to being super talkative with each other <3
Juyeon:
is. in. awe. of you. not bc he doesn’t know what it’s like to have lots of ppl like you, or bc he’s shy, but bc he just loooooves your vibes so much. like--- you’ll be talking and he’ll walk up and you’ll just throw him into the convo and make it seem like he was part of the conversation from the beginning and he loves that. you’re so outgoing and welcoming to ppl around you, he never feels left out. and he loves seeing you reach out to other ppl too. he’ll lowkey see some person like all alone and by themselves and he’ll be like “ heyyy! I wanna introduce you to someone really awesome!” and then he’ll walk up to you and like give you this look and you’ll be like “oh my goodness!!!! heyyyyy!!! hru?????” and the person will instantly feel special and juyeon will just stand back and be like “ wow. I have an awesome gf!” and then he’ll just listen while you talk and get the new person involved. juyeon’s pretty quiet, so he likes to stand around you when you’re at parties bc he can rely on you to talk with everyone haha 
Kevin:
the first time kev met you he’d be like “I love this person, they make me feel so comfortable talking with them!!!” and you’d be like “ I love this guy, he’s so interesting to talk to!!” and you’d start dating right away. kev is pretty talkative once he’s comfortable. y’all would have the best conversations. at parties or whenever you’re with large crowds of people he’ll stand beside you the ENTIRE time. not bc he feels he needs to claim you and keep other guys away, and not bc he’s scared to talk with people himself, but simply bc he loves listening to you talk. like you can turn the most boringgggg conversation into something interesting just bc you have so much experience with people and you love talking. one thing he absolutely loves about you so much is that even though he sometimes has a hard time staying involved in a conversation with strangers for very long, you don’t, and like--- you never let him feel left out when talking with ppl. you always remember who you love spending time with most and keep him involved.
Chanhee:
he would lowkey be like “ what is wrong with her” the first time he met you hahahaha but then he’d grow used to your personality and be totally charmed by you. like i can totally imagine chanhee being with you one day and watch as you have the most random conversation with some stranger you just met and then he’ll be like “ shoot-- i have a crush on this girl” after you start dating he’d just be like “ i’m literally dating the coolest person, like she can talk with anyone and make them feel so special” and all of his friends are like “ yeah you tell us that everyday” and he’d love taking you everywhere with him bc you just make him feel so much more at ease wherever you go. when he’s having a bad day he looooves spending time with you the most bc he knows you’ll 100% make him feel better with your bright personality! and you guys are like so cute together bc he’s pretty tall so whenever he’s feeling pretty shy or whatever you like stand on your tiptoes to whisper in his ear that he looks so pretty that day and make him smile and feel a little more confident and then you’d like hold onto his arm the whole time you were talking to other ppl bc you didn’t want him to feel like you forgot about him at all.
Changmin:
he’d be like “ ok, this is her personality, cool” like he’d love that you were outgoing but it wouldn’t surprise him at all or anything. he knows you love being with ppl so he always takes you with him whenever he goes to parties or gatherings of any sort and then just smiles as you immediately blend in with everyone and make friends. some dude would come up to changmin who’s standing near you watching you with heart eyes and listening to you talk and the guy’d be like “ who’s that?? she’s cute!” and changmin would be like “ she’s my baby...I..I...meant gf. she’s my gf. “ and the guy’d be like “ok simp” and changmin would be like “me??? a simp???” and then he’d realize he was a simp for you, bc like, even though he’s outgoing too, no one does it like you and he’s just obsessed with the way you brighten any day and any place with your sunshiny personality and smile! and he’d be like “ gosh she really won me over” and then he’d go stand beside you and hold your waist and join in the conversation if he could and just be so happy to be spending time with you while you’re having so much fun!
Haknyeon:
this baby. he’d get pouty when he saw you spending more time with others than with him so he’d like some up to you and tug on your arm and be like “ hey remember me” and you’d be like “no??? who are you again? “ to tease him and then he’d laugh bc he knew ofc you remembered him,,, you just thought he’d be perfectly alright without you bc he likes being with people too! but then you kinda felt bad for leaving him alone so long so you’d stop conversing with everyone and turn your full attention on him--- which is just what he wanted haha. he loves knowing he gets all your attention to himself. you’d tease him a lot though-- like someone would ask you if they could ask you a question rq and you’d be like “ oh im sorry,, i gotta ask my bf if he can spare me for a moment” and hak would be like “ stopppppp” and you’d both laugh. he’s outgoing too, but not as talkative as you are, so he’d just bask in your bright aura constantly surrounding you and whenever you said something funny he’d laugh his iconic laugh and that’d make you laugh and then you’d both forget about everyone else and just laugh together. when you guys were together talking with ppl you were like the power couple. you’re funny and smart and super friendly so everyone just gravitates towards y’all
Sunwoo:
this boy would be SO whipped for you,, like he would just stand beside you and smile down on you the whole time you were talking with others. he just loves seeing you enjoy yourself so much! lowkey jealous anytime you start talking to some guy for too long tho, like you’ll will be walking hand in hand home from somewhere and you’ll see a guy walking his puppy and you’ll be like “ahhhhhhhhhhhhh oh my goodness so cute!!!!” and you’ll start talking to the guy about what breed, and how old, and where he adopted the puppy, and the guy will tell you several cute stories about the puppy and you will become like best friends (obv the guy isn’t hitting on you tho cuz sunwoo be standing there behind you like -_- ) but you get along so well with everyone and sometimes you just get so caught up in the conversation you’re having with whoever it happens to be and sunwoo never wants to just push his way into things, so he just stands there like “ what do I do?” and then as soon as you turn back to him with your eyes sparkling bc you love talking with ppl so much he’s like “ oh shoot, i love her.” and so he doesn’t mind so much anymore.
Eric:
you guys would be sooooooo cute!!!! you would talk over each other sometimes when y’all were really excited, but you would somehow understand each other anyways hahaha. ppl sometimes joke about how talkative you both are and say things like “how are y’all even dating???” which you hate bc you love eric more than anything and eric feels the same way so y’all are just like “tsk,, you’re just jealous that i’m dating someone so awesome” and walk away. but seriously, somehow your relationship just works out! like when eric’s super excited about something but you’re already talking about something, he holds back until you’re done with your story and vice versa. when you guys are out in public together you just laugh and talk like normal bc you know others love hearing ppl be happy together and sometimes it leads to meeting new people and making new friends! like one time-- you and eric were on a picnic and were just laughing and laughing about something and a little old lady was just absolutely in love with you both and so you invited her to join you and she did and she told you stories about back when she was young and you all three just had the sweetest time together. things like that always happen for you and eric bc you have such friendly personalities ppl love being with you.

“It wasn’t just for revenge” Yona told Hak. 
But it was the most important reason IMO... the reason that drove Su-Won to do what he did the MOST. 
Sure, he did it for the country. For the people. That’s what he rationalizes it all for... it “had” to be done. And I won’t lie that it was a complicated situation where things had to be done.
But there’s no denial that there was a personal stake in all this that was selfish AF. Su-Won was hell bent on avenging his father, that was the day he’d lived for. 
Su-Won is unhealthily obsessed with his dad. Obsessed with revenge. He chose his dad over Yona and Hak’s happiness... he chose Yu-Hon’s life over theirs too. 
Is that wrong? Well, there’s nothing with filial piety, I guess... but sacrificing people you care for for your father’s romanticized ghost is not the way to do it my guy. That’s a bit too much. 
Of course, I don’t think choosing Yona and Hak over your dad is the right thing either. There’s really no solution to that question that’s going to leave someone completely happy. But either way, it’s wrong. 
He left the freaking door open when he walked in to kill Il... the reason he’d forgotten to close the door? Probably because he was frothing with so much repulsion and excitement about his revenge that he didn’t think clearly about anything else that mattered in that moment, blinding himself. 
Even though all his rational reasons had pushed him that far... for the country, for the country, etc. etc. 
I think if Il hadn’t died, would Su-Won have been as compelled to take the throne as he had been? 
Probably not. Then again, it’s like a chain of events that are connected that all led to this outcome. We can’t forget that Yon-hi being sick and the Hiryuu issue is what led to this all occurring. 
I’m not going to say that Su-Won is necessarily evil. But he’s not as rational as people see him. He has his rational side, then he’s got an irrational side. For instance, when pushed to the brink with those crimson illness headaches, he decided to kill Mei right then and there out of spite. Even though his mother had gone through similar experiences and thoughts as she did. 
All because Mei reminded him of Il rather than his mother. I complain so much about Mei and even I thought Su-Won was a big, irrational asshole in that one. It was a big eye-opener for me. 
Su-Won doesn’t have all the cards in his favor. He’s not always right. He has some good points (better than Il at ruling for example) but he’s not the dude people worship as the perfect king. 
And let’s be honest, how much of Su-Won doing all this was really him living a life separate from his father? He was kind of just the vessel to achieving Yu-Hon’s dreams... he has no actual ambition regarding himself, he doesn’t really even want to be king. He’s just doing it because it was what Yu-Hon was supposed to do but supposedly declined nicely (no dude your view of your dad is soooooo skewed and romanticized, I can’t even)

Wishful thinking for the King's Affection under the cut with mild spoilers
What I want to happen
1. Lee Hyun loves his cousin and his best friend so much that instead of getting jealous, he loves seeing the two people he loves love eachother and be stupid happy.
2. Shin So Eun falls hard for Lee Hwi and forgets her crush on Jung Ji Woon. Now Lee Hwi has four love interests.
3. Shin So Eun figures out Lee Hwi is a woman rather quickly and doesn't care because we all love Lee Hwi. Lee Hwi is a bamf. I hope she punches more people. We all do.
4. Lee Hyun and Shin So Eun hatch a plot to protect Lee Hwi. Shin So Eun will marry Lee Hwi.
5. Because we need a royal heir, Lee Hyun gets Shin So Eun preggers. Bam! Royal line continues. (Oh wait - will Lee Hwi need to consummate the marriage with Shin So Eun in front of witnesses like in other sageuks? That makes this part complicated.)
6. Some eunuch is really a cute girl in disguise for Kim Ga On. I saw some cutie in the teaser for the next ep and since sageuks are pretty classist, it makes sense for the guard and the eunuch to hook up. Bam! Now there's a eunuch to take care of Lee Hwi when Court Lady Kim and Eunuch Hong age out of taking care of Lee Hwi.
7. Polycule Lee Hwi, Jung Ji Woon, Lee Hyun, and Shin So Eun live happily with Kim Ga On and cutie eunuch protecting their secret and blended family.
8. Lee Hyun gets to finally mourn the real Lee Hwi with Dam-I, which he never got to do in the past. They cry a lot.
9. Blah blah something political happens. Grandpa and henchman dies. King really knew about Lee Hwi all along. Younger half-brother prince isn't a little brat but just sad that Lee Hwi never played with him before. Queen Jang Sun was actually only resentful of Lee Hwi b/c she felt that Lee Hwi wasn't nice to her kid. I want Dam-I to have a family that loves her.
10. Maybe the hot prince step-uncle that never talks but is always in camera shots is the baddie. You can't be that hot and not get any good scenes. I want to see blood trickle from the corner of his mouth while he emotes from his pretty, dark eyes.
11. Ha ha! I forgot about Jung Ji Woon and Lee Hwi, but I really kind of hope he's kept in the dark until they feverishly pull robes off of each other and he's just. like. confused. But goes for it anyway like the bi king he is.
Who am I kidding? This is a sageuk and Korea loves to torture me whenever I find a female lead I'm in love with. The best I'm expecting is a faked death and DamI and JiWoon run away to Ming together. (That's where Jung Ji Woon went to grad school after all.) Chief Eunuch would protect their secret because Lee Hwi protected his secret love affair. They would be rich because JiWoon saved the life of that other dude played by Son Jong Hak who could get him a place at court. Then Lee Hyun and Shin So Eun could come to visit them. Lee Hyun goes there all the time anyway. This ending would displease me because it implies that Lee Hwi starts presenting as a woman and nobody wants that.

Yona’s Cult of Personality
idk dude, I have world history and it’s remarkably helpful in understanding our society and politics, and also amazing in understanding world-building. Like, does anyone read Spy x Family? More people should read Spy x Family, it’s absolute gold, but anyway the conflict between the fake countries that serves as background to the story is so obviously based on WW2 and the Cold War. I actually got super excited, and it made the manga 10x more fun.
But this post is not about Spy x Family, it is about Akatsuki no Yona (Yona of the Dawn). BEWARE OF SPOILERS AHEAD.
I know it’s like, one of the ‘big shoujo’, that a lot of people like, but I tend to procrastinate on reading more famous and mainstream manga for... absolutely no reason actually. But whatever, procrastination doesn’t need a reason.
Anyway I kept seeing it recommended everywhere, even my mom really liked it (we used to read manga in the library during my brother’s hockey practice - before covid ofc). So I finally read Yona of the Dawn two months ago, and absolutely loved it.
I feel like I say that for a lot of manga, but my tastes are all over the place, so. (it’s what happens when you’ve read manga from practically every genre)
Anyway I loved it, loved the characters, loved Yona. I tried so hard to make Yoon and/or Kija my favourite, but they came second to Soo Won no matter how much I liked them. Like rip, the guy everyone hates is my favourite. But it’s whatever, he’s a very good character, and my heart aches whenever I think of what he, Hak, and Yona could’ve been. I adore this author’s story-telling (so freaking funny), and I was pleasantly surprised to find they were the same author of some short works I enjoyed reading awhile back, so I’m glad I finally tried this series.
Right so while I was reading Yona, we were talking about the famous/infamous (depends on where you’re from) former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, and like, bro.
Tumblr media
This guy’s whole rise to power story sounds straight outta a novel. Or manga.
For real though, like he has comrades that help him, a bunch of which die in dramatic ways. Like, this one guy, Abel Santamaria, was a leader along with Fidel Castro and his brother Raul Castro, for the Moncada Barracks Attack that basically jumpstarted Castro’s revolution. They all got arrested by the government afterwards, and like Santamaria was tortured and killed. Apparently his hands were sent on a tray to his sister? She was also a member of the revolution, but like the tragedy of her bro’s death and the death of her boyfriend led her to commit suicide.
But yeah, after being released and chilling in Mexico for a bit to stay on the down low, Castro comes back with Che Guevara and begins the fight against current government run by Fulgencio Batista, who everyone lowkey hated cause he was corrupt and mean. 
So Castro starts from gaining the support of the people. He promises change and like actually does stuff to prove it, like asking for shelter and food from the peasants, and then paying them back through labour. He and his men treated them respectfully, and kindly, even going as far as to teach people how to read and stuff. His revolution was known as the 26th of July Movement, named after the day of the Moncada Barracks Attack that was the spark for all this, but they had a super funny nickname, Los Barbudos, which basically means ‘the Bearded Ones’, to describe what most of them revolutionaries looked like lol.
They were infinitely popular amongst the poor as a result, and through garnering public support and fighting against Batista’s army with guerilla tactics, the revolution overthrew the government and Castro eventually rose as leader of Cuba.
You’re probably wondering why I gave you a super brief history lesson (I omitted a lot of stuff), but consider this:
Who else comes back to their nation with a bunch of new allies, after staying on the down low? Who else aids the poor people in their country and treats them with kindness and respect, spreading their popularity throughout the public? Who else has a super funny nickname for their group?
Tumblr media
Yona does. Guys, I was painfully reminded of the Dark Dragon and the Happy Hungry Bunch while doing the reading on Castro’s rise to power. There are so many parallels it felt like an epiphany. Yona is Fidel Castro.
Jokes aside, I felt like I finally understood the politics going on in the manga, and what exactly adviser Kye-Sook was so scared of when he found out about Yona’s spreading reputation. I thought it was a little weird, especially since in the eyes of the people, Soo Won was a much better king than Emperor Il (Yona’s dad). He was afraid of Yona’s innocent creation of a cult. 
The term ‘cult of personality’ usually refers to when people adore a figure almost religiously, which is why most dictators you read about in history, like Castro, ensure they build up appeal within the public so they can rise to power (once they’re finally in charge, efforts to maintain this ‘cult’ often dip into something more fear-based). For Castro, he promoted himself as the ‘saviour’, who would save and protect the Cuban people from Batista, and then later from the USA. Of course there’s more as to the why and how and what, that I’m itching to type up, but it’s not relevant to this post.
If you recall, in the manga, the story of the ‘red dragon’ is one that is a legend of their land, and the ‘red dragon king’ is someone who was and is revered (especially in the Fire Tribe). Yona becomes associated with this legend, which only makes sense as she is his reincarnation and has collected the four dragon vassals from the legend. Due to this, she becomes immensely popular amongst the people in addition to her reputation of helping the poor, particularly in the Fire Tribe, and solving issues around the nation such as the human trafficking in the Earth Tribe town, Awa, and the drug issues in the Water Tribe’s town, Nadai.
She becomes someone who actually does something for the people, similar to Castro. So all in all, Yona builds a name for herself, and somewhat unintentionally creates a cult of personality wherein the people adore her. I thought this was a super fun comparison that shows how exactly Yona’s rise to power is happening. Personally I think she’ll be an amazing Queen when the time comes (I hope it does), especially after witnessing all her character growth. As much as I like Soo Won and believe he is a remarkable King, he lacks that empathy he’s locked away, something Yona has that allows her to help the people that much quicker and more effectively, as well as come to more peaceful and efficient conclusions (i.e. the resolution of tensions with Xing Kingdom).
Anyway, I can’t believe I only recently figured out that the best world-building works off lessons and events from history (like, it’s pretty much common sense, huh?).
But, now that I know, history class is a little more exciting! ~\(≧▽≦)/~

Tumblr media
I love how during the final act in the final episode of Season 5 of Jackie Chan Adventures, out of all of the enforcers, Hak Foo was the only one who actually stepped up to the plate and helped the J - Team fight off Drago’s forces. 
The dude you’d least expect to want to help the Chans in the final fight, but I guess since the guy had lost everything there was only one thing to gain, friendship? 
Tumblr media
He clearly didn’t bond well with the enforcers, only seeing them as mere acquaintances, didn’t really see Valmont as a friend either more as a money source since just being evil didn’t exactly pay the bills, working for a (failing) millionaire would though. 
In fact, I think that was the very reason Hak left Valmont the first time to begin with since he wasn’t able to pay Hak the money he needed for his services. 
Tumblr media
The only reason he was loyal to Daolon Wong was because of the power he gave to Hak, giving the chance to be a dark Chi warrior could offer immense power, whether Hak wanted to be turned into one or not, when he did he realized the possibilities he was given and used them to his advantage. Daolon even saw that Hak was more competent than the other enforcers, so there was no need to prove himself to him.
You could tell after he lost his powers that he was willing to bail on Wong any chance had he not been thrown in prison with Wong, even stating that he’d beat the crap out of Wong if he didn’t get them out of prison, this shows that he didn’t really care for Wong to begin with or the fact that he was a powerful wizard that could probably wipe Hak from existence if he wanted to, once he realized Wong was useless to him he wanted to bail. 
Tumblr media
Now Tarakudo is different, Tarakudo was obviously the one that treated the enforcers with the most respect but he had favoritism for Hak Foo, this was the season where Hak went almost insane trying to get an oni mask, Tarakudo realizing that Hak was gifted he acted as sort of a mentor to him and was the one who saw potential in gifting him a mask of what wonders Hak could do for him. 
Due to this, Hak was loyal to Tarakudo, Tarakudo not only offering wisdom but a powerful mask and an army as well, who wouldn’t want to learn from one of the most feared lords ever? 
Even though it took Hak a long time to get an actual oni mask and when it was one he didn’t see any potential in, Tarakudo told Hak their secret. 
Of course all good things must come to an end, after losing his mask, Hak Foo gets arrested along with the other enforcers, maybe in that time he finally realized this grudge against the Chans was stupid to begin with and decided being a criminal just wasn’t worth it, but fighting for something good was especially since the world was in peril.
Tumblr media
And the fact that even though the enforcers were more familiar with the Chans and even went to their side a few times before Season 5, they bailed while Hak Foo, one who never worked with the Chans before was the only one to come to their aid. 
Tumblr media
Jackie must’ve seen this redemption if he was willing to trust Hak with holding Jade when a literal portal to Hell opened up and was sucking in everything in it’s path. 
Well I mean if Jackie was willing to trust Tohru after Tohru literally tried to cut Jade open to retrieve the Rooster Talisman then maybe Hak’s able to get a second chance as well. 
Tumblr media
I like to think that Hak became an honorary member of the J - Team after that, mending his relationship with Tohru, possibly becoming close to Jade as well and also a prodigy of Uncle, Hak is definitely gifted so it wouldn’t be impossible for Uncle to see potential in him, or maybe he joined Section 13, he’s definitely qualified to work there but who knows.
