Rewatched K-pop Demon Hunters and I gotta say, it seems like the reoccurring theme of 2025 media is defying nihilism and embracing community
And if that’s not the lesson we should all take and run with in the new year, I don’t know what is

There is a subtle implication in Alastor’s deals with both Niffty and Husk that Alastor took their souls to avoid killing them
Depending on the context of their deals it would be interesting to see who benefited more and therefore whether or not Alastor simply liked them too much to murder them

I love Charlie dearly but omg does someone need to sit her down and explain that “sorry” isn’t some magic fix-all 🙄
And I’m sure that will happen fairly shortly lol

Not sure exactly what it is that makes me so misty eyed at Emily’s face in this frame but …
Something something - loving your friends so deeply you worry about and protect the people they care for without knowing anything about them

100% on board with the “Alastor accidentally grew attached to Vox” hc and raise you a “the same pattern is reoccurring with Charlie” theory.
Hear me out
So Alastor says he and Vox weren’t friends but that he respected him and thought fairly highly of him. We also see that Alastor was at one

Listen I still very much feel that Caine is trying to communicate with the gang. Like he is trying to tell them something he can’t just come out and say (for some reason)
The fish and they’re dialogue, Pomni’s little intrusive thought of “someone plundered it (the sunken treasure) before I got

Apparently it’s take your trauma to work day and now everyone is staring at me with that pitying look in their eyes …

Okay wait a minute! I’ve been putting off watching ep 7 or TADC for days and THATS WHAT HAPPENED?!
That didn’t explain anything! Why is everyone up in their feels acting like this is somehow definitive proof of ANYTHING AT ALL???

I think the interesting thing in s2 is the parallels drawn between Vox and entitled men pursuing romance, and Alastor and the plight of the uninterested woman
Men’s worst fear is that women will laugh at them, women’s worst fear is that men will murder them

Sometimes I get the overwhelming and violent urge to fling open other people’s car doors and turn on their god damn blinker for them
… but other than that I’m just peachy 😊

I don’t know how to kindly and gently point this out to fanfic writers so im just gonna say it super bluntly
Writing accents phonetically is problematic. It has deep roots in racism and classism.
I just want y’all to know that so you can make more informed choices about how you write ❤️

Started re reading the Hunger Games only to realize why I never finished Mocking Jay
That series is so good at depicting trauma and cptsd that it triggered an dissociative episode in which I realized I had been stuck in survival mode for nearly 12 years atp and threw me into full blown psychosis

I’ve always found it a bit funny how tiny Alastor’s antlers are
I know they get bigger in his stronger states but when he’s just being him they’re so itty bitty
It gives him the appearance of being very young and inexperienced as only young bucks have small antlers like that

The Charlie hate this season is so forced!
People who are mad at her for her lack of care towards powerful, egotistical and vain men in her life are either 1) not paying close enough attention and/or 2) lack a fundamental aspect of media literacy: understanding subtext
