Love is a drug|| JJK|| 1
Pairing: Yandere Jungkook × Female Reader
Genre: Yandere Themes, a bit fluff, angst, betrayal.
Warning: Fluff, Loverboy jk
Summary: YN had a very Happy life with her lovely Boyfriend Jeon Jungkook, a 24 year old ceo ; but things take a vast turn and yn finds herself in critical condition.
CHAPTER ONE
The day started off with hustling and bustling of peoples, the birds chirping were clearly heard cause there were people but no voices everyone in their own work. Well this was the side of Jeon Industries, a regular one.
The CEO and Grandson of founder, Jeon Jungkook was no different from these people. Infact he was the boss, holding the power on this very building, a 24 year old handsome bachelor that's what people called him.
Sitting on the chair which belonged to his a month ago was satisfying for him. Jungkook believed that power could give him everything he want and need.
"This plan can actually be useful for our company, I hope you put consideration into it Mr. Jeon Jungkook." The lab department voiced out their plan for growing business of Jeon Industries. Honestly Jungkook was bored, he just wanted to go home and relax but some stupids wanted him to collaborate with Seoul's no.1 hospital Asan.
Asan is one of the biggest hospital and basically they wanted to bring out some good electronics for technicians in hospital.
Jungkook wasn't a bit interested, he even hated hospitals how is he supposed to go and make this offer but he knew better with his father glaring at him from the corner of the room.
"Alright!! We can consider this for the sake of growth of our company. Secretary Park, when are we going?" Jungkook turns to Park Jimin his secretary as well as his bestfriend.
" We have the appointment of tomorrow Mr. Jeon" Jimin exclaimed.
They were here at the very next day and much to Jungkook's anger the dean made them wait for 10 minutes for the meeting. Jungkook moved to the technician department to demand about the dean.
'BLOOD TECHNICIAN' he reads the tag aand aks "Where the hell is dean? How dare he-"
His world stops as he looks at lady. She was pretty and mesmerizing.He don't the exact thing he liked. Was it pretty face? was it her wavy hairs? Was it clean desk ? Or was it her sexy voice?
"Sir!! May I help you?" YN it read on her badge said and Jungkook's heart couldn't stop hammering. Let's just say he was glad for the dean's delay that day.
Jungkook and YN laughs at the memory of their first meet at their now a year anniversary. At how Jungkook developed a crush on her and started visiting the hospital ofter with any, it means ANY chance he gets.
YN got attached and impressed with his cute tactics very quick. Jungkook looked hopelessly in love with her so much that he imagined himself with her for the rest of his.
" YN-ah!! You can't leave your boyfriend at anniversary like that. Look I even turned sexy for you " Jungkook claimed with holding her tightly in the arms. She can already see the pout on lips buldge out and certainly he ruined his sexy facade.
"Babe!! I told I have work tomorrow " You teased. You didn't had any work, you just loved the way he was clinging onto you.
Well Jungkook knew more than anyone that you don't have work tomorrow. But he wanted to perceive you longer, be in your arms, talk with you all night cause he knew you won't leave ever.
And let's just say the night went pretty well...p

Hey Velvetsoul from the stream here! Just wanted to say thanks for such a warm welcome not just to the stream but to Arknights as well. It's kind of intimidating to jump into a game as complex as Arknights seems to be, but it was nice to be welcomed by a community willing to explain stuff to me. I will definitely be back for future streams!
Heeey glad to hear :) yeah I'm -- we're -- always happy to explain the ropes to beginners, AK is a pretty harsh game on beginners. As I said yesterday, the best time to start was on Day 1, second best time is now. Hope to see you around again and see your growth as I do with the other recent Doctors.

June 15th, 2022 (06.15.2022)
So, today I officially have turned 18.
It's still hard to believe that I'm no longer a kid but a grown-up woman. Well, still a girl, of course, I'm not THAT old to call myself a woman, but still, I guess you got what I meant. The realization slowly comes to me: I'm an adult! Geez! And I've finished school!
This year of my life was one of the biggest of my mental growth. I've learnt and realized many things: that it's okay to fail, it's okay to be "awkward" if you just made something that doesn't do harm to other people but they just think it's "awkward", it's okay to be angry and sad, it's okay to feel offended or insulted and it's okay to feel upset over things others consider "small". And many more. And you know what? It's all thanks to my tumblr fam! It's you guys who made me grow up! I greatly realize just how much I've learnt after getting along with y'all!
And, of course, the biggest credit should be addressed to Svetlana and Pyotr, aka the best parents I could ever have! Despite all the misunderstanding and hardships there were between us throughout my life, at the end they prooved they really are the greatest parents I could ever dream of. They gave me childhood I can brag about, and thanks to their will to transfer me on distant learning during my highschool years, they gave me time to grow up as a person, outside this trashy building full of dorks called "school". They were here when I was bullied in school, they were here teaching me about how to be a good person, they were here when I had troubles with teachers and principal. My mom especially, she was ready (and still is) to literally tear apart everyone who messed with me. My dad was here to reassure me that whoever messes with me is a fool and "screw them" tho!
Now, it is time to say thank you, guys, for appearing in my life and being with me. You were here when I had breakdowns, you gave me advices, you were so kind to me and you were here when I cut ties with my ex bestie!
@castleofsweetanxiousness, aka the Ultimate Big Sis (and Mama) (and Big Bro-in-law Kagehara too!)
@ohlookitsnormannn, aka the best Big Bro in this universe!!!!
@bananaboy0603, aka another sweet Big Bro-in-law! (even tho we're kind of peers, I see you as a big bro ghfghgh hope you don't mind!)
@lovelii-ann, aka MY PRETTY LIL SIS THAT IS SO SWEET AND WONDERFUL!!!!
@mentally-ell-deactivated2022061, aka sweet Ellie where did you go come back pls we all miss you
@th0tpimusprime, aka another big sis!!!!! really happy to be friends with you and that you initiated the first interaction <33

@sips-tea-cutely, aks MAKI MY BELOVED /P YOU ARE SO COOL AND HOT AND SMART AND SEXY /P <33
@self-shipping-freak, aka one of my beloved nephews that got me into cool disney movies and that I love sharing f/o rambles with <33 (sorry for not answering sometimes my energy is jumpy these days
@kantah, aka ANOTHER BELOVED LIL SIS THAT WAS (AND IS) HERE FOR ME AND ENCOURAGED ME PLAYING TWST SO NOW I HAVE ANOTHER MAIN F/O <33
@manami-merodi, aka MY SWEET NEPHEW THAT IS TOO KIND AND INNOCENT FOR THIS WORLD <33
@k0rek1yos, aka ROKKIE THE COOKIE THE TALENTED WRITER THAT AT FIRST WAS THE PERSON I JUST ADMITTED AND PUT ABOVE MYSELF AND NOW THEY'RE ALSO ONE OF MY BELOVED NEPHEWS YAAAY <33
Also, the other moots I haven't interacted with that much but the ones I also adore and appreciate vm!!!: @howuart @newdanganronpaanotherv3 @sleepygamerotaku @queen-of-wires @mobianwithablog and some other mutuals that probably changed their blog names or (sadly) deleted them?
and omg I really hope I didn't forget anyone pls I'm very very VERY sorry if I did ><"
THE MOOT THAT I MIGHT HAVE FORGOTTEN PLS IF YOU'RE READING THAT I LOVE YA SO MUCH I JUST HAVE A POOR MEMORY (ONE OF THE ACHIEVMENTS I GOT TO MY 18S) </3
And, of course, I cannot not mention my beloved f/os (main ones at least) that were here for me at the toughest times and that I cherish so much!
Korekiyo Shinguji, the best and the prettiest man in the world and a huge husband material, I love you so much, thank you for accepting me the way I am and loving me <3
Kazutora Hanemiya, another prettiest boy that with time going on became also a big husband material and, despite having an impression of a bold delinquent with anger issues, turned out to be a loving and gentle boyfriend <3
And Idia Shroud, the best gamer boyfriend ever, my beloved grumpy-wumpy boy, no matter what others might think about and tell you, you're smart, talented and a huge cinnamon bun I will protect at ll costs, I just love you so much and your affection makes my heart melt every time <3
So, happy birthday to me!

Part five!!!!!!
As the months went on, Galehaut realized Lancelot did not love him in return, instead they loved Guinevere. Galehaut wanted Lancelot to be happy so he helped them get with her. He started restricting and shaping the growth of the plants on the castle, making them safley climble, and fit into a perfect path to a quiet [place] where Lancelot and Guinevere could be alone. Galehaut loved seeing Lancelot happy. Guinevere couldnt be happier as well. She felt bad of course, for lying, but she loved Lancelot, and from her past expirience she knew it was better for Arthur not to know. Every few nights they snuck away, enjoying the other's company as if their life was meant to be that. With a bit of guilt and a lot of hope, it continued. The seasons slowley turned and the knights continued to fight, in battle and in game. Camelot's golden age had finally returned, it seemed even stronger then under Uther's rule, but the mystery of the table was yet to be solved, and there was still one seat looking for a knight. Champions from all over tried, and their faliure stalled and weakend Arthur's sleep. One winter knight, Guinevere slipped back into their room, as usuall when she returned from her night with Lancelot, she took off her prosthetic and carfully got into bed. Then, quietly, Arthur aked her: "Do they make you happy?" Guinevere jumped and asked Arthur how long he knew. He replied that a while. Sinking back into their bed, Guinevere tried to explain she loved them both, but Arthur's reply was silence. Days pass and Arthur's coldness hasnt changed. In the people's watch he acted like they were still together, around the knights they continued to converse and stratergise, but Arthur treated her like the rest of the knights of the table, and on their own they barley spoke a word.
oh shiiit

14/04/24 09:29 PM | Gossip Girl Update | AK with Her Best, Best Version of Herself
Gossip Girl here, ur one and only source into the scandalous lives of Katie’s elite.
Spotted: AK, the girl who could slay u with a single glance but is secretly as soft as a freshly baked cinnamon roll on the inside. She’s got that killer combo of looking like she just stepped off the runway while radiating a cool vibe that’s as classy as it gets. But don’t be fooled by the exterior, underneath that fierce exterior beats the heart of a true friend. She got this magnetic energy that draws people in like moths to a flame. Seriously, one look at her and u can’t help but want to be her friend. And the best part? She’s not just all style and no substance, she’s the kind of person who’s easy to get along with once u crack that cool exterior. Trust me, i’ve seen it firsthand. She’s also type of super protective friend. She’s always checking in on me, making sure i’m okay, and ready to throw down anyone who dares to mess with me. I mean, she’s even willing to do ‘screening’ to my potential boyfriends to make sure if they’re really worthy of me. She’s like a one-woman screening committee, determined to make sure i don’t end up with another heartbreaker. In conclusion, AK is the best protective friend a girl could ask for. Since we patched things up back in 2020, our friendship has only grown stronger, and i couldn’t be more grateful to have her by my side. And speaking of growth, i’ve seen her blossom into the best, best version of herself, especially with her new partner by her side. It’s like night and day compared to the old her, and seeing her so happy now brings me nothing but joy. Here’s to u, AK — a true diamond in the rough.
And who am i? I’m Blair Waldorf’s clone aka Katie Blair that u know.
XOXO, Gossip Girl. 💋

The Kilcher Homestead in Homer, AK
Sunday, June 27th, 2021
CAL - This week in the Room of Beds, the large, bald one and I enjoyed our regular routines for nearly 5 days in a row. Each morning Michele begrudgingly arose from one of the two beds, pushed open the curtains, and started her day. I spend most of my days on bed #1, where I creepily hover in the background of video calls while staring right into the web camera. Once I get bored, I move to bed #2 where I watch the most fascinating activities through our 3rd story window. I am starting to arrive at the conclusion that a room can never really have too many beds.
When the weekend finally rolled around, I braced myself for the extra attention that I knew I would surely receive, however, to my complete and utter surprise, Michele suddenly up and left. She had a very small bag in tow, so I estimated that she would be gone for one or two nights at the most.
Before I knew it, Sunday evening was upon me and I had really started to miss her. Just as I started to lose hope, I heard the unmistakable click of the door unlocking. I tried to contain myself, but instead, I let out a series of meows so emphatic, that the large, bald one dropped her bags and ran to greet me.
MICHELE - The weekend started with a mad rush to get onto the road to Homer at a reasonable hour on Friday afternoon. I finally left Anchorage by 5pm and enjoyed the entire 4.5 hour drive doused in sunlight. You gotta love the Alaskan sun.
Upon arrival, I carefully followed the instructions to my tiny cabin on the Kilcher Family Homestead. You know are going deep into nature when the directions only reference a series of hills and forks in the road. When I finally get to the end, I am facing a magnificent yurt overlooking Kachemak Bay. The yurt belongs to Stellavera Kilcher, one of the eight children who own and run the 600-acre homestead. Later I’ll learn that she has appeared on a Discovery TV show about her family and is an aunt to singer, and songwriter Jewel.
I wait patiently in front of the yurt, per my instructions. Also, I really have no choice in the matter, it’s not like I can just pop over to Starbucks or something. Eventually, Stellavera calls, apologizing profusely for being late to meet me.
Around 10:30pm I finally get settled into my cabin, with plenty of daylight to spare. The view from this property is stunning and I stare lovingly out the front door until I can barely keep my eyes open.
The next morning I was treated to a tour of the homestead where I learned about the charter of the land which is to provide opportunities for personal and spiritual growth for the community. The family crest is a series of symbols that translates into stewards of the land for the church. Stellavera tells several charming stories about growing up on the homestead and surviving winters in Alaska.
Next, I head into town to enjoy a quaint farmer's market and a stroll on the Homer Spit. I found a little sweater store called the Better Sweater and wanted to buy everything there. After what felt like an hour I finally settled on the perfect sweater and the shop owner asked if I lived somewhere cold. “No, definitely not!” I say and we both laugh as I pay my $99 for my Alaskan sweater souvenir. For a late lunch, I bought some fish tacos from a truck called the Tickled Pear and found a nice piece of driftwood where I watched the boats mosey back into the harbor from the bay.
Later, back at the homestead, I walk down to a private beach and feel like I am the last human on the planet. I try to take a few pictures, but my camera can not fully capture the moment.
For dinner, Stellavera cooks me and 2 other guests a small feast of salmon, sweet potatoes, and wild greens from her front yard.
The next morning I do not want to leave. Eventually, I drag myself back up to Anchorage forging my way through the weekend traffic. When I arrive home, Cal is very happy to see me. He always brings a ray of sunshine to my day.

Te Kete The Basket - Das Körbchen
For Mattea and Robert
27 August 2022 & 4 February 2023
Tane Mahuta
The ancestor of all the living trees
Gave birth to the Harakeke
Millions of years passed until 1992
The month of April to be exact
When a rito was born way down south
On an island of the South Pacific
At nearly the same time
A Peacock
was born high up in the woods of Vienna, Austria.
The Harakeke and the Peacock grew strong but apart
Surrounded by family and friends
The Peacock in a mountain fortress
The Harakeke on the island stronghold
Thousands of miles of distance
A call from across the seas
Leaving the mountain and island
At Lancaster
Where the Peacock sensed the beautiful Harakeke
And the Peacock gave one of his feathers as a gift
A sign of a long everlasting life which time will not fade
And so began
A weaving together of the Harakeke and the Peacock feather
Once started, the magic work could not be stopped
A Kete was, and is, being created
It is a whole new living thing
We have all received the gifts from this love
Our opportunity today
Is to give gifts to support and acknowledge
This Kete is like a wandern rucksack full of essential items
You can call upon them in future days
It is the plate of the harakeke from where you were born. This is the symbol of your families, the nest from which you depart
From the breath of Tawhirimatea. Fresh air from the skies of New Zealand and Austria. It is the breath of life
Water is the symbol of refreshment. This water comes from springs high in the mountains of New Zealand and Austria. With this water we give our blessing
This stone was formed over long a time. Gaining colour and strength within the earth. The stone is our wish for stability, strength and a long and happy life
This candle holds the fire, the flame of love. Never to be extinguished. May it shine brightly in your life
The fern or koru is the symbol of new beginnings, growth and change. Every day is an opportunity for a fresh start
The tui is a talkable, chatter box bird. Reminding us about communication, keeping it free and open
We can’t do without food especially chocolate. Cherish moments you have together over a meal
Lastly sand from Plimmerton Beach and the banks of the River Danube. Your grandparents walked here and walk still. Our ancestors continue to guide our lives
And every grain of sand is counted by God who cares for us
For now at last you are beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read or lived: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before. (C.S. Lewis)
Ma te Atua koutou e manaaki, e tiaki, ake ake ake
Amene

AK’s 6/1 Children’s Day post
So June 1st is Children’s Day in China, and AK posted this on Weibo:
Translation:
As people grow up, one big change is that they start wearing a mask to hide all of the stress they endure and only smile for others to see in different situations. Maybe you take off your smiling mask and show your exhaustion only when you enter your own room.
I want to tell the AK in this picture that, even though you are very tired, you should be proud of the fact that you managed your emotions well for an entire day. Only gentle people will wear a smiling mask and attempt to use a good version of themselves when dealing with other people. I think good emotion management is a good way for mature people to express their gentleness.
I am proud of myself for doing this well.
Every year’s 6/1 makes me more aware that I’m farther away from my childhood hhh.
So today I’ll simply wish myself a happy growth.
#ak liu zhang#liu zhang#ak 刘彰#into1#chuang 2021#Weibo fans are trying to get#刘彰六一祝自己成熟快乐#on the hot search so pls help if you want!#in opposite way and the mother's day post#he talked about feeling that he has had to mature faster#because of his life experiences#happy growth day ak#to everyone who has had to grow up fast for whatever reason#and to everyone who has grown in some way this year#happy growth day

how to study with a mental illness!!!! aka a guide to simultaneously caring for yourself and your academics
(disclaimer: this is from purely personal experience and is not a substitute for seeking professional help. these are just personal tips as i was formally diagnosed with depression and anxiety in the third year of college, but had been showing symptoms even in high school. different methods help for different people, but i really hope some of these things can help a struggling student out, because one of the reasons i went on studyblr in the first place was that i felt really lost and anxious.)
1. done is better than none.
sometimes an assignment you have to turn in would be objectively easy to complete, but it takes longer to do so because you’re afraid that the final product won’t be as good as you want it to be, or as good as a professor expects it to be. it’s hard to remove those expectations, but it is a little easier when you remember that getting some points (no matter how many they are) are better than getting a deduction for late submissions or not turning in the project at all. many people -- including myself -- suffer from perfectionism in university, but it is overall more important to complete something to the best of your own ability, and learn from the feedback on the project later on.
more importantly, often, you’re doing better than you think you’re doing, so surprise yourself. you can do it. just start.
2. keep careful track of your deadlines.
much of my undergrad anxiety came from the fact that i knew something was due, but couldn’t keep track of it, or didn’t want to confront it. it’s better to confront it because you have more time to do it slowly and thoroughly. as soon as you hear about an impending exam or paper deadline, keep track of it. personally, i use google calendar. from there, you can make smaller plans and break down your goals to make it more doable!
3. don’t be afraid to ask for help.
there used to be a huge stigma against mental illness, but thankfully, many educational institutions are much kinder and more considerate about it. if you really can’t meet a deadline or come to class, let your professor know. most professors are kind, reasonable people who genuinely care about you and your well-being. even one of my scariest professors granted extensions to a girl who was genuinely struggling with serious depression, and the college of law i’m in takes mental health very seriously to the point that they instruct faculty how to deal with such cases.
if you’re not able to talk to a professor, try to ask help from a classmate or a friend who can share notes or fill you in on how they accomplished a certain assignment. many people will be happy to help. you are not a burden, love.
4. be kinder to yourself.
mental illness is like any illness. it often keeps us from doing as well as we’d like to be because it’s a genuine and serious health problem. sometimes it helps to keep this in mind when we flub a report in class (as i did several tens of times in undergrad), get a bad score, say something ridiculous during recitation, or mess up a paper. it’s okay to do your best while you heal. you know you’re trying your best, and slow growth is still growth.
5. on that note, care for your other needs.
one of my happiest and most fulfilled semesters (even though it was my busiest) was when i had time to see a psychiatrist, run, pack lunches and fruit to school to eat healthy, and have a reasonable-ish sleep schedule. this was during my thesis semester. while i had to take an incomplete, and finish my thesis the next sem, because i was attending to my own needs, i felt like a living, breathing, learning, happy person. and i finished my thesis the next semester. it’s better to look after your own physical health and needs before your academics.
6. sometimes, it’s better to do nothing and rest. you deserve it.
part of the reason i’d been doing horribly in law school was that i didn’t sleep and it was making me mildly unbalanced and incredibly suicidal; not to mention the fact that i wasn’t really retaining any information or performing well.
rest days are just as important as days when you study because rest IS productivity.
7. take your meds. see your psych or therapist if you have one. avail yourself of mental health services on campus if there are any. these genuinely saved my life at a time that i thought i was beyond saving. please go seek help if you can.
BONUS: MY STUDY SETUP ON A TERRIBLE MENTAL HEALTH DAY (like today)
- i try to clear the space and clean up as much as possible. it makes me feel like i have things under control, and have my work things where i can see them.
- i eat something healthy, like fruit, and get a lot of water. i keep a water jug on my desk because it clears my thoughts and helps me replenish the fluids lost from crying (1/2jk). it also really keeps up my strength for the study process.
- i turn on a calming playlist, like a jazz or lofi or ghibli playlist. in another window, i turn on a rain sound video on a softer volume, and it helps center me.
- it helps when you have a soft or calming scent to calm you down. i use a lavender room spray, and it makes me feel cozy and productive, but in undergrad, i used this tea-tree lavender mix and it smelled like sunny afternoons and guitar coffeshop playlists. it really is nice.
- there are breathing exercises and gifs all over the internet. they help calm you down when things seem Too Much.
i really hope this helps, guys. don’t hesitate to message me if you’ve been having a hard time with school or life or anything. please, please care for yourselves. you can do it.

On to eps 25 + 26, my friends! It’s heating up!
Yang Jin was concerned because he saw Yu Wenzhi’s troups – but he definitely, absolutely was NOT concerned for Li Yan, no no! XD They keep on going together, but only... for 5 min or so? Until Li Yan tells him to go help A-Fei in town, since she can make the rest of the way herself (that worked so well before...). It’s cute how Yang Jin doesn’t want to go, but she makes puppy eyes at him and so he leaves.
I guess in the long run that isn’t such a bad decision to send him to A-Fei’s aid.
Poor Li Yan of course meets an outpost that’s already infiltrated by Disha. At least the man helps her instead of selling her out. And then it turns out that Li Sheng didn’t even include a message, just sending her away from where the attack will happen. Oh Li Sheng... He could have thought about how the outpost might be in Disha’s pockets, though, since it wouldn’t be the first time. Anyway, Li Yan steals a horse and goes to find help.
So much stuff is happening at the same time! Yang Jin asks after the Intinerary Gang who surely will help him (good idea), while Chuchu listens in on the Elders talking about how Li Sheng is very likely dead. She is devastated. T_T
Yu Wenzhi starts distrusting Kou Dan, because she now mentions a rumoured hidden path to the 48 Strongholds. She’s all like, “What, it’s just a rumour.“ and even I side-eye her for that. He wants to set a trap for A-Fei and leaves.
Meanwhile, Xie Yun has already strongly hinted to A-Fei that it would be an advantage if they could get YWZ to distrust at least Kou Dan. A-Fei uses YWZ’s ruse for just that, basically telling Gu Tianxian that this was an assassination attempt lead by Mingfeng Sect.
OMG the kiss by proxy!! I flailed!! Give me moooore! ♥
XY is off to distract GTX while A-Fei looks for YWZ's new hiding spot. But before that she stares into space, thrown by XY's proxy kiss. I swoon along with her. XD
Li Yan meets Li Jinrong, who was on her way back anyway since she missed her husband yet again. The army seems to have some problems, though General Wen is… perhaps downplaying? Anyway, LJR now knows that 48 Strongholds is under attack and hurries home.
Shen Tianshu has waited out the fire, it seems, and is now in front of the main gate to the 48 Strongholds. Also, YWZ’s private army has arrived. All in all, this huge combined army consists of about 30 people; 6 of them leave to find the secret path. I can’t get over the fact that the mean villains only have so few people! You really didn’t have a budget, huh? XD I mean srsly, there are definitely more people hiding at the 48 SH! XD
Look at his smug face! He always squints smugly at everyone, he’s so weird! XD
Love how XY is leading Disha around. Also happy that Wang Yibo could do lots of wirework in that scene, since he likes to do that stuff. XD Meanwhile, YWZ feels super threatened. Rightly so, asshole.
Aww the Elders Zhao and Zhang at the 48 SH want to go fighting! I actually enjoy that this show has many older characters as well.
Aaaand A-Fei has found YWZ! And she fights! And then there’s Yang Jin and the IG to the rescue! I love how they’re all fighting, while YWZ just stands there and watches with Kou Dan protecting him. Kinda. I cheered for the IG just fighting with big sticks and whatever else was at hand against that trained (? I assume) private army with swords – and they win by brute force. XD
A-Fei is all confused and Yang Jin explains, “I met Li Yan on the road and she started crying. She’s so annoying, I can’t say no to her!” He is so whipped. XD
YWZ really is a totally useless fighter. A-Fei reaches him and overpowers him easily. What kind of position does that guy have in the government? Doesn’t seem to be an army position… Since they won they want to get Disha to stop the attack on the 48 SH.
Meanwhile I fucking knew it that Ma Jili would betray them! Did he actually kill that one Elder? Or did they really encounter Disha and the Elder got killed there? Hm.
Anyway, look at Chuchu grabbing a sword! That was cool, you go queen! Though she didn’t get to use it, I’m sure there will be another chance for her to fuck some shit up!
A-Fei is so devastated that Uncle Ma betrayed her. I feel you, A-Fei. And then Uncle Ma feels guilty (or… was also misled by Kou Dan?) and fights KD, which doesn’t end good for him.
That fight between A-Fei and KD was really cool. Loved how they used the end credits song! I’m a sucker for that song! A-Fei gets her revenge and doesn’t even watch KD die.
Seriously, those poor kids will all be so traumatised. Yeah in CQL they all went to war at 19 or so, but they at least all had fighting experience in a real life situation against monsters, fierce corpses and whatnot. The kids from 48 SH grew up sheltered with this kind of fighting just a theoretical exercise.
OH nooo Xie Yun uses the super power needle! O_O He sees that 48 SH will likely lose (how, against only 20 Disha ppl, IDK…) and decides on that, because he can’t lose A-Fei.
Look at his conflicted face!!!
He also throws some exposition in there, that Chuchu’s necklace is the main key for the HTYS which he is looking for. Okay. Whatever, now pls fuck Shen Tianshu up, my man.
He does. He also tells A-Fei that he wants to enjoy himself here. (Meaning he doesn’t have long afterwards anyway and wants to go out with a bang I guess. T_T) STS is shocked because it seems that Xie Yun has some SERIOUS FIGHTING SKILLZ.
This is getting really long... XD
Xie Yun fights and it's pretty cool! A-Fei also keeps fighting, but she gets weaker, and also seems overwhlemed by the situation. I can’t blame her.
And then Li Jinrong signals her arrival and Shen Tianshu kinda panics while A-Fei decides that this is a good moment to faint. She does a lot of fainting in this show.
Have this gif for the drama of it all. XD
Yay, Chuchu has found Li Sheng! She had to wade through some corpses for that at the river bank, but she is a badass and doesn’t care. MVP Chuchu! ♥
Excuuuse me!? STS punches (!!) Li Jinrong's horse. Seriously, asshole?! WTF?! LJR fucks him up anyway, destroys his metal hand (he later has a new one so I guess he just... has a lot of these things lying around?). Disha + YWZ’s troups finally retreat, and Chuchu immediately tells them where Li Sheng is. He is now safe, yay!
Okay this shot of LJR is really cool.
There LJR goes again with her tough mother routine. XD A-Fei is awake and happy to see her; she also aks after Xie Yun, and her mother is like, “Do you know who he is?” and A-Fei conveniently does not mention that she knows he's royalty and just tells her the important stuff like, “He does poetry and songs to make a living.” LJR just dismisses her with, “We'll talk about him later.” Oh oh.
Cute scene with A-Fei and Li Sheng, who tease each other good-naturedly. Li Sheng now can admit that A-Fei is better than him at martial arts, but he doesn't want to give up – perhaps he'll manage to be better than her one day anyway? ;D I like his growth so far.
Xie Yun comes over to flirt and invite himself into A-Fei's bedroom. XD But this time A-Fei flirts back! It's the, “I know I'm good looking, but you have to pay money to stare at me,” and A-Fei answers, “You can stare at me too and we'll call it even,” scene. XY is surprised and delighted. XD
That whole conversation between these two. ♥ T_T A-Fei knows XY so well by know that she sees through his act of putting on a happy face whenever he's worried. She wants to ask so many questions but doesn't because she thinks he won't answer them honestly anyway. T_T And she sincerely asks him if he's alright. T_T He's obviously thrown by all of this, and he talks around some things and yep, he isn't really honest. And then she asks too many questions anyway and he uses her accupoints to knock her out. My God, just talk to her!!
And there's the other ship that's shyly circling each other! Chuchu and Li Sheng have an awkward conversation, because now that it's not live or death they don't know how to act. XD He wants to look for Chuchu's brother and they perhaps could live at the 48 SH? *puppyeyes* I mean seriously, where is that kid?!
Shen Tianshu is pissed, Yu Wenzhi is too. He's going on about how Xie Yun (=Xiao Chuan) should be dead, damnit, since he was poisoned 10 years ago with that super rare and deadly Bone Piercing Blue poison (we remember, the one that 9th Madam Duan also suffered from until Li Zheng helped her). We get STS exposition that a master must've helped XY so that he survived (and the master should've died of it), but now that XY used the power needle his meridians are no longer blocked and the poison is free to circulate again = He only has a few months to live. OH NO! T_T They don't know if he's also looking for the HYTS but want to keep looking anyway; Disha masters are sent out after the two men yet again bitch at each other. XD
Sometimes it's nice to actually get some exposition here...
There's a funeral scene at 48 SH with cool music and all of them swearing their oath again to do their best with a clear conscience before Heaven, Earth, and themselves. That “clear conscience” idiom is really popular I think?
A talk between Xie Yun and Li Jinrong. She thanks him and seems sincere enough, but she also seems wary/distrustful of him (well, he fetched her ill husband to go to war again, sooo...). He yet again circumvents actually answering her questions about his former master (although I assume she at least has a hunch who he is), and he tells her she should perhaps be nicer to her daughter and compliment her from time to time. Well, I guess he's dying anyway and hasn't anything to lose. XD
She comments on his pale complexion, is he perhaps ill? Wow the passive-aggressiveness in this scene from LJR. XD Then she hands him a sigil to pass the guards and basically throws him out. Charming. Good start into that in-laws situation. XD
OMG Li Sheng sends pastries to Chuchu! ♥ And Li Yan is all excited, like, “Yes please fetch your little brother, I always wanted a little brother, that would be awesome!” XD
Xie Yun and A-Fei have a romantic stroll under the not-moonlight. ♥ They are holding hands, be still my heart! ♥ While they are hand holding we also get a MV of their best moments so far.
She tells him she's working on a gift for him, and she wants to help him look for the HYTS since it seems to be a shitty thing and she doesn't want it to fall into Disha's hands. Xie Yun would like to stay at 48 SH and of course doesn't tell A-Fei about his talk wit LRJ nor that he's, you know, dying. It's obvious that he will leave without her because he doesn't want to drag her into this (the trope of “I know what's best for you without giving you a real chance to make a decision yourself” ugh) and also because he's fucking dying. OMG. T_T
We end with A-Fei knocking on his door the next morning (where he very obviously isn't anymore) to give him her gift. Before she can actually see that he isn't there Chuchu intercepts her, so A-Fei tries to give her back the necklace. Chuchu is all like, “Nooo you keep it, it's far saver with you!” so there's that. This will surely be important later. The two girls leave for town to fetch medicine, while Xie Yun sits near the river and sadly plays his flute. T_T

AK Character Profile: Gabi Lawler
It’s Monday! So I’m posting another character profile- The final member of the Knox Three Musketeers, The Dojo Three! If you like what you read- well thanks for reading- and you want to be added to the tag list, let me know!
Gabreela Deanii Lawler
19 years old
Born December 14th 2021
Black
Straight
Born in Nashville, Tennessee a year before her parents moved to Three Pines, Colorado, Gabi is the oldest child of three Lawler children. Her mother, Shannon, relocated the family to Three Pines when she was offered the position of running the museum in the city- one of the most expansive museums in the country. Her father, Deon, decided that instead of running a mechanic shop like he did in Nashville, he’d start his own(which gradually grew into creating custom cars).
During her childhood, Gabi faced frustration about wanting to discover her passions early on- a fact her parents constantly stressed was unnecessary. Driven and focused, she’s always wanted to find one thing to be perfect at. Through her growth within The Outliers, however, she’s since relaxed her drive and decided to take her time figuring out where she wants to end up.
Gabi, like her parents, loves history throughout the ages and has affinity for charting the rise and fall of civilizations. She’s also a mostly self-taught drummer, spending hours behind a starter drum kit when she was a child and watching videos to learn fundamentals, before briefly being set up with a tutor. However, that private tutelage soon fell by the wayside when Gabi found another passion- martial arts.
While she’d been enrolled in the Knox martial arts school for years at that point, one day, a lesson clicked and she became that much more intensely interested in the discipline and tutelage Sebastien Knox taught.
When it comes to her friends, Gabi can usually be found at the forefront of exploring new grounds. Whether it be on wilderness walks in the 5th grade or business moves as a podcast network during and post high school, she’s willing to jump out and test the waters. This, she says she picked up from Zig-Zag, who says he picked it up from her, but it makes them ideal and reasonable leaders of their business- as well as a great couple.
While she has been dating Zig-Zag since their junior year of high school, Gabi and Kwin are technically how the Outliers started They met in the 2nd grade and have been friends since- constantly challenging each other and pushing one another while being supportive.
Gabi’s friends outside the group like Stevie Ransom, Annie Lopez and Ciara Knox, are also in a close orbit around the group. While Gabi will become happy and complacent with the friend group, she’ll usually be the first one to venture outside the group and make new acquaintances.
From researching history, to percussion, to martial arts, to podcasting, Gabi has transferred immense energy and passion across several fields growing up(even if it’s at the expense of the prior), and though the other passions outside of the Outlier Podcast Network have faded to the side now, she still has a special place in her heart for them. Sometimes so focused, she loses focus, Gabi has to repeatedly remind herself to slow down and not to miss the forest for the trees.

LIFE UPDATE
to all the people who are probably minding their own business, Hi! padaan naman sa dashboard niyo. Ayways, since I’M DONE WITH THIS SEM! tho last last week pa at di naman ganon kadami reqs ko, LET ME CELEBRATE!! yaay at dahil last day na ng june 2020 at sana nasa kalahati na siguro tayo sa daang malubak na ito, may ishashare ako.
Since mukang matagal pa bago matapos lahat ng nagyayaring ito sa atig mundo (insert sigh kasi naiistress ako sa ph gov’t) gusto ko lang naman i-share ang mga ginagawa ko ngayong quarantine kasi legit tatlong beses pa lang ako lumalabas sa compound namin since march 10
dalawang beses lang ako nagdala ng merienda sa mga tita ko na siguro 10 bahay away from us
kumuha ako ng gamit sa dorm pero mga 5 minutes lang ako bumaba sa sasakyan dahil pinaliguan ko ng alcohol yung gamit ko
at from our compound’s pov, di mo kita ang kalsada so mga halos buong araw lang ako nakahiga or nakaupo (which is very unhealthy pero kasi tinatamad ako mag exercise atleast binalak ko diba?) ayon so here’s the list of things na ginagawa ko or skills na dinedevelop ko ngayon for self satisfaction at siguro magagamit ko at some point in time?
BUJO/ART- sooo I’m back at it again tho di naman ako artist plus di naman ako marunong magdrawing at natripan ko lang talaga to dati kasi puro aesthetic accounts finofollow ko dito at sa yt sooo gumaya ako. And sadly medyo tinigil ko to midway last year kasi di kinaya ng powers ko magka extra time dahil medyo natagalan pa ako bago maka-adjust sa pagiging isang college student so I would prefer sleep over any hobbies kasi I swear ramdam na ramdam ko noon na parang kulang ang 24 hours sa isang araw para macomplete lahat ng kailangan ko gawin para sa class kinabukasan (okay tama na masyadong roller coaster ride lang talaga first sem). I’ve decided to start again kasi baka amagin na lahat ng art supplies ko dito and yung savings ko nung hs halos dito napunta lahat at para na din magkahobby ulet ako
FANGIRL- henloooo stan twt! I’m back medyo di muna kasi ako nag stan twt last sem I mean lowkey na lang di tulad noon na everyday all day stan twt lang inaatupag ko. And I must say, source of happiness talaga ito. yun lang naman sana di niyo malaman stan twt ko (tho madami akong accounts mga isa per group) kasi ang hyper ko don.
GENERAL RANDOM KNOWLEDGE- so basically ginagawa ko lang to kasi puno ng regrets yung 4 month vacation ko last year which resulted sa kalawang na utak kaya medyo nahirapan ako pagbalik ng school. Ang purpose talaga nito ay para lang di ko makalimutan kung paano mag-aral kasi ganon nangyari sakin last year bago mag college. As of now, puro daily trivias and know-hows lang inaalam ko na makakalimutan ko din at some point pero gusto ko sana aralin like hindi naman sauluhin kasi di naman ako cocontest like kakabisaduhin ko lang yung flags of the world or capitals ng bawat country kaso iniisip ko pa lang napapagod na ako so sana dumating yug araw na masimulan ko na
THIRD LANGUAGE- di naman ako nageexpect maging fluent dito kasi number 1, the key to fluency ay kailangan may kausap ka on a daily basis at hindi straight from text books lang. Tho sinimulan ko na to dati and may alam naman akong basic korean words before and natuto ako ng hangul nung grade 8 pa, I AM VERY PROUD OF MYSELF DAHIL NAKAKAITINDI NA AKO NG VIDEOS NA WALANG SUB hindi naman fully pero siguro mga 50% of the time. Mostly kapag nanonood nanay ko, nakatalikod ako sa tv and tinatranslate ko in english at tumatama naman ako. Nakakaintindi na ako ng mga drama without sub (hindi lang yung context like yung dialogue din) pero shempre may mga parts na left out pati live ng mga idols uwu. Sooner or later balak ko din gumawa ng account for live translations e sana may time ako. Nag start to nung mag dalawang koreans sa likod ko nung february na naguusap at naintindihan ko pinaguusapan nila pati yung dalawang koreana na umorder sa A2 so naisipan ko na simulan ulit and mga almost 1 month with this journey kasi mga june 10 lang ako nagstart ulet and nakakaintindi ako mamii!! Ang isa sa main purpose nito ay gusto ko talaga ng third language at ito na pinili ko kasi shempre gusto ko pa din pumunta don pero gusto ko marunong ako ng language para easy travel at isa pa, di ko na kailangan maghintay ng sub sa dramas or videos or live ng mga tao diba? ibang post ko na ishashare yung process ko which I think is effective naman sa akin tiyaga lang talaga
NON-DOMINANT HAND- sinimulan ko to kasi naisip ko na gusto ko ng isa pang uncommon skill. So naisipan ko na parang gusto ko magsulat with my left hand. I did some research naman and practice is the key lang talaga tho malabo daw yung chance na magkapareho ng handwriting ng left and right hand, atleast marunong diba like kapag napagod ako with the right kaya ko magsulat with the left. I started writing whole page paragraphs sa isang notebook and nakakatuwa lang kasi nakikita mo yung progress talaga and I’m proud! Kasi nung nagstart ako mga kinder pa yung itsura nung sulat ko and ngayon, mga grade 2 na siguro. Balak ko din i-post yung progress ko so saka na yon
CONSISTENT PRODUCTIVITY normally kasi tanggap ko talaga na tamad ako sa school works (as a crammer) and more like ngayon ako masipag and bukas hindi na mga once every 2 weeks lang dumadating yug motivation ko and narealize ko na ang bagal ng self growth ko kapag ganon so I’m really trying to reduce that by keeping productivity consistent by constantly doing things by planning a schedule like before ako matulog plan ko yung gagawin ko bukas kasi di naman talaga ako spontaneous na tao pero this quarantine kasi wala naman magawa so parang nasira na yung timetable ko ganon. So nag-aalarm pa din ako everyday kasi lagi akong over slept kapag hindi and parang wala na sira na araw ko ganon. Tho late naman gising ko kasi madaling araw na din naman tulog ko, siguro atleast eight hours of sleep naman sana maachieve ko diba? tas everyday linis ng bahay ng kwarto and evrything, kasi let’s prepare ourselves kasi we will end up having our own house someday and gusto ko lang talaga arranged lahat. So far naman, nakeekeep ko pa yung consistency sana di maputol.
Ayon kung nakaabot ka dito sa dulo, congrats! 1:08 am na and manonood pa ako ng mga dalawang episodes at katatapos ko lang magsulat ng paragraph gamit ang aking left hand tas balak ko pa paltan to ng font kaso hinihintay na ako ng episode 3 hahahhaha, sana magpatuloy lahat ng ito at hindi ako tamarin! YAASS ROAD TO SELF GROWTH 2020!!(part na din ng road to self growth ang postna ito para I would stay motivated)
STAY SAFE SA INYO (kayo na bahala kung sa pandemic or sa gov’t) pero most likely both naman.

Ok so, my thoughts on the VR ending and VR overall as the 6th entry.
Also because most of my thoughts aren't...complimentary im editing the names so they dont appear in the general tag. This also got LONG so readmore.
The Good:
- A//i's character still managed to be the one thing that saves VR as a show for me. Even with all the weird...contradictory plot issues, A//i still manages to be a compelling character who brings up the question of the right to live. I actually do like how he made it so itd be an ultimatum that he loses in either way, even if the ending kinda ruins the weight behind the action (which I will get to in a bit).
The meh:
-the ending was left somewhat open to interpretation which for a show as...empty as this was works out but honestly it was so vague as to A//is fate is that it may as well not exist.
The Bad:
-The main conflict behind the entire show is...simulations. No joke. Every conflict in the show can be traced back to someone doing a simulation and deciding to lose it. Even if they gave the (rather stupid) explanation that AI experience simulations like actual life (which btw the first villain wasnt an AI so this reason doesnt work), the fact that Yu//sa//ku took a bullet for one of A//is robot bodies that he literally has millions of is...just stupid and there solely for the "uwu drama".
-They actually killed A//i off but wait hes actually alive, so like the final duel literally had no purpose aside from...drama??? The episode is called Compromise and yet A//i had to lose just to keep Yu//sa///kus win streak and theres no compromise whatsoever. Yu//sa//ku litetally destroys the CompromA.I.se card so its just, no comrpomise in any way.
-This....wasn't a happy ending??? I have no idea why both the show and the fanbase frame this as a happy ending bc think about it in context: A//i pretty much loses everything, so does Yu//sa//ku who just isolated himself from everyone else for 3 months in order to comb the network for whatever remnants of A//i exist.
- So many of the supporting characters are just...there. Like, there is no side/supporting character who actually has a character arc in this show. Lets go through the list: Ao//i is pretty much the same character as when she started and goes through 2 unnecessary costume changes for a character growth that isnt there because she has literally ONE victory against an opponent that was stated multiple times to be weak and faulty and have her lose and tortured multiple times for no reason whatsoever, G//o had this weird deterioration that may have lead to something but ultimately didn't, Ak//ira is pretty much the same, J//in has ALL HIS TRAUMA ERASED SO THERES THAT, literally the only side characters who have some sembalnce of an arc are Sho//ichi (the best one anyways) from his "betrayal" in S2, and E//ma with her reconciliation with her brother. Outside of that, nothing. Yu//sa//ku, Re//volv//er and Ho//mu//ra are pretty much the only characters with an arc and even then they're not too solid? Which brings me to-
- Yu//sa//ku has been so wildly ooc since the end of S1. Ive seen so many say that his enphasis on bonds and friendship are character growth but actually looking at the sequence of events he suddenly just like. changes completely around his first duel with Ea//rth. Plus, the message of "revenge is good" was always so weird? Like, he got his revenge so all his trauma is ok now and never brought up or explored again aside from within the first 20 episodes. Theres nothing about it after that and its never built upon. The whole point of a revenge arc is to show that its BAD and yet he starts preaching that revenge is wrong AFTER he successfully gets revenge??? And even then its not exactly a revenge as it is more lashing out since it was Ko//ga//mi who was behind it all. Yu//sa/ku was definitely at his strongest characterization in S1 where we see how badly the Lo//st Incid//ent hurt him but S1 had its own share of problems that led into S2 and so many random plot threads that never went anywhere (such as the Anot//her Incid//ents, the Cy//berse deck being irl despite that A//i didnt have a physical body before then, The Bl//ue Mai//den meetup that was repeated by Nao//ki like 10 times in S2 which seemed to be leading up to something but never did, and the fact that theres 4 recap episodes in S1 already spelled some early problems). So much of the supporting cast function to just say "he turned this whole situation around...with ONE card..." i kid you not watch back every Yu//sa//ku duel I GUARANTEE you'll see someone saying hes a great duelist and serve only that purpose. ALSO THE END OF THE SHOW IS JUST MORE DRAMA?? They make him suffer for no reason other than that they can??? What purpose does his suffering at the end serve aside from just "uwu...poor baby..."???
-Re//volv//er is not a good rival. At all. He's so incredibly bland because much like Yu//sa//ku he was at his strongest characterization in S1 where he actually had some solid motivation in continuing his fathers work and being unable to accept that his dad was evil, yet most of that just flies out the window with all the collateral he's willing to inflict with the K//O//H?? All his character amounts too post S1 is "yeah i told you robots are evil and YOU didnt believe me". The most we got of him growing out of this mindset was calling A//i by his name exactly one time and nothing ever again. Also the fact that in the end we see him and his crew working for S//O//L despite the fact that they were gonna turn themselves in for their crimes just. leaves a rotten taste in my mouth. hes not a good rival at all. All he proves to me is that a good design can get anyone to like a character.
- Ho//mu//ra is...there. I literally cant say anything about him because he absolutely has the strongest motivations of the three but then the show jumps through hoops to push him to the back of the other two. He also has a bunch of early victories I do feel are undeserved (ESPECIALLY the A//oi duel that one pissed me off so much). Also the fact that the show just made him Yu//sa//kus friend immediately whereas it took Sho//ichi several months to get Yu//sa//ku to warm up to him just had me :/.
-The speed duels were a cool concept but they just became these huge cheat fests? Seriously Play//Maker uses StAccess literally every speed duel to pull out a new monster from whatever plot holes the writers need to patch up. I am not kidding. You can go back to every single speed duel Yu//sa//ku was in and youll see this. Skills just werent a good mechanic because when a protag pulls a new card its supposed to be representative of some growth/characterization but he stays the same pretty much throughout the entire show up until S2 where he wildly just switches personality. Plus the fact that Que//en could literally use a skill whenever just shows that it was cheating???
- The villains were overall lackluster. Boh//man was the best because Re//volv//er is just flat whereas A//i struck me more as an anti hero. And again: simulations are the enemy. Light//ning ran one and decided to go ham. Kog//ami ran one and decided to go ham. A//i ran one and decided to go ham. The conflicts are all the same and it just makes things happen rather than following a consistent plot thread? I will say that Boh//mans characterization of a hive mind to become perfect does strike my tastes but thats more my personal preference in villains rather than any merit he has.
- This is a bit of a personal pet peeve but I've seen some of the praise to this show about being the "darkest Y//G//O to date so therefore its good" and im just...no? Edge does not make a good show and just because they lightly focused on the tragedy in Yu//sa//kus life (and it IS lightly because its barely touched upon after mid S1) most of the stuff that happens in this show is pretty tame in comparison? The most that happened here was an attempted global hack of everyones minds from S2 and destroying the internet in S1, with a few references to the torture that happened during the Lo//st incid//ent. To compare: the previous series had this huge interdimensional war that, even if they could reverse the carding of people (which makes Den//nis' attempted suicide even more tragic), ended with an entire dimensions full of brainwashed soldier children, a dimension with huge class inequality that was still being heavily worked upon since there were canonically slaves, and a dimension that was savaged by a genocide and total global destruction. Hell, the series before that had a huge war where the arc actually did focus on the tragedys the characters faced and held consequence (even if they pulled a dbz revive everyone at the end). And as far back into the very first series there were even more graphic depictions of war and death? Idk i feel like people are overplaying the edge here just to find a way to complement this show.
Overall:
I'm...genuinely dissappointed. VR really had so many strong starting points but it all just fell apart at execution. Really the only reason I even bothered to watch it as kong as I did was because Im a longtime fan of the series and wanted to give it a chance rather than jump on whatever love/hate train the show has. Its been rated poorly on the JP side and most of the approval is a vocal minority. Just to be clear: this isnt me bashing the show, my opinions are mine and you can agree or disagree to any capacity, and even if a show isnt well written you can still find a reason to enjoy it despite the flaws.
But if Im being perfectly honest? I do not like this show. It's rushed, choppy, has no consistent or clear plot threads, most of the genuinely interesting characters are wasted for the protagonist to look better and he never really does because he ALSO has an interesting idea behind him but it never goes anywhere. It started strong but ended so poorly. Id be angry but im more dissappointed because Ive watched this show from day 1 and wanted to see the good things it has rather than focus on the negatibes but. yeah. This show really had potential and yet it just fell flat.

Sangchul has no decency.
When all the cards are stacked against you, most people fold, but Sangchul just had to play victim once more. After he had the audacity to wave the friend card in Jung’s face (please, everyone knew he only sucked up to Jung for free meals and drinks) Sanchul tried to play the poor and struggling kid card.
Sul doesn’t even play that card and we know how bad she had it. Her parents barely kept their first business alive while they paid for their kids’ studies (and Joon studied overseas... think boarding, clothing, food, travel etc.)
And Sul didn’t mooch off others and publicly whined to everyone. She worked smarter and when that failed, she’d work harder.
Enough gushing about Seol.
So this is when I decided to put Sangchul in the same boat as stalker boy (whose name I’ve forgotten, I’m sorry)
Normally, I’d just think of Sangchul as a jerk when he plays victim but this... pattern of throwing the blame onto someone else really irked me.
You know the phrase, “don't bite the hand that feeds you?”
Well, this idiot did that. I expected him to backstab most of the people in the webtoon because he has a way of making it feel like everyone is hostile to him. But Jung had always been ‘kind’ to him.
You’d think after being reminded of what he did to Jaewoo and his laptop, and all the crap he’s constantly done to Sul, he’d at LEAST fake sincerity. But he just had to be so freaking awful and try to cast blame AGAIN.
Which means he isn't sorry for all the toes he stepped on, he doesn't care that someone else took the blame and is possibly going to be alienated for the paper sheet HE most likely stole and he will probably do it again.
Jung might be bluffing with the black box... but thinking about how he was so against Inho joining the scene and then the author showed an image of Inho [after the black box was mentioned] it might be true... and I’ll honestly be a bit surprised if he actually stopped Inho because of it. [Ps, Inho looked so sad, things need to turn around for him. Take notes Sangchul; personal growth is when you stop blaming others for your misfortunes and start working on yourself]
[Not saying Jung is a bad person but he’s shown many times that he wanted nothing to do with Inho/ don’t care much about (again) what Inho chooses to do with his life so I dunno, I might be overthinking).
This is the scene I’m talking about Btw.
(So Idk, Naver is really tempting me rn but I already do it for True Beauty and A good day to be a dog which has a perfect ending btw so I’m practicing self-control now. I’m searching for other theories in the meantime)
But for what it’s worth, after Sangchul’s outburst and trying to make Jung feel guilty, he should have insisted Sangchul pay full price for the watch as well as his [Jung’s] medical fees.
I’m just hoping that Sangchul could at least give Sul a proper apology, and dish out some more to Jaewoo and a few of the kids he wronged.
Gosh! I’m so grateful that the author didn't end the chapter with him because I would have been fuming.
I tried, tried so hard to see things from his point of view, but damn, he’s a full-fledged asshole. He’s wrong in EVERY aspect!
Anyway, let’s end this positively.
I love them, now let’s see everyone else be happy too :)

Navratri Colours and their Significance
Navratri is one of the famous festivals in India. The festival is grandly celebrated to honor the nine avatars of goddess Durga during her homecoming on Earth. Each avatar represents a particular color, and each color symbolizes different emotions and values. Devotees worship and wear traditional dresses according to the colors on each day. If you are looking for Navratri Kurtis in Wholesale, you can find it on AKS.
Let’s read more about Navratri colors and their significance.
Nine different avatars of Maa Durga worshipped on these nine days include Mata Shailputri on the first day, Brahmacharni on Dwitiya, Chandraghanta on Tritiya, Kushmanda on Chaturthi, Skanda Mata on Panchami, Katyani on Shashti, Kaalratri on Saptami, Mahaguari on Ashtami, and finally, Siddhidatri on Navami.
Each avatar has a specific color. You can buy cotton kurtis wholesale online before the festival begins to reduce expenses.
Day 1 (Mata Shailputri): Yellow
Shailputri – the daughter of the mountain, as she begins her journey to Earth, brings along cheer, happiness, and positivity. And therefore, yellow is chosen to signify the avatar.
Day 2 (Brahmacharni): Green
The avatar Brahmacharni implies growth, prosperity, harmony, happiness, and new energy. Green is the color of life, beginning, growth, and new beginnings.
Day 3 (Chandraghanta): Grey
Chandraghanta empowers us to be determined and full of zeal to destroy negativity and move forward. As the color grey also has similar significance, devotees choose to wear it today.
Day 4 (Kushmanda): Orange
Kushmanda is recognized as the cheerful and smiling God. She also signifies tranquility, intelligence, light, and knowledge. As orange is associated with joy, the color is worn on this day.
Day 5 (Skanda Mata): White
White, as we all know, represents peace, meditation, and purity. Therefore, devotees wear white on Panchami to reflect on their inner peace positively.
Day 6 (Katyani): Red
The color red depicts fearless and bold beauty. Mata Katyani symbolizes similar qualities in human beings, and therefore, devotees wear red on this day.
Day 7 (Kaalratri): Royal Blue
Kaalratri, also known as Kaali, embodies fearlessness, braveness, and strength. Since this avatar of goddess Durga has a dark complexion, royal blue is worn as the color signifies power and divinity.
