Most of my work has been spent on Solo Leveling yes and the thing goes as follows:

  • Almost daily translated chapters on Solo Leveling Ragnarok starting from chapter 164, [unfortunately due to errors I might not be able to post the translated chapters on reddit so tumblr acc will have to do] anywhere learning korean on the side.
  • Monthly (hopefully) updates on the differences between the manhwa and light novel of Solo Leveling.
  • Preparing for Uni Admissions and moving out of the country.
  • Athletics (?) in the mornings.
  • Finishing books to get a better grasp on spanish.
  • For the most part thats just it, I also dont make my promises on posting the two ongoing fics FWY(N)S and OTM quickly, so when i get some break i might just be finishing up some of the other kny fics.
  • Was also preparing for graduation party which is why I had to take all of July as a break.

All i remember is that it was about the time he began his work as a detective (before the gates). He was treated kinda poorly by his seniors. He was sent to a business trip instead of one of them cuz the person did not want to go there, reasoning it to be a terrible headache (so they were like "let's make this little simpleton suffer instead haha"). And Jinchul knew pretty well what and why had happened, but still said nothing and did his best during that trip. And fell for a man he met there lmao. The dream was like i read a book and watched Jinchul from aside as if in real life at the same time (dreams are really weird when you try to describe them). And in that book it was said that Jinchul's heart got stolen by that man's smile. Yup. That's it.

MINLEE HEADCANONS

  • Byung-gyu flirts through his jokes. He thinks they're awful sometimes, but Ju-hee always find them cute.
  • Ju-hee being a nurse + Byung-gyu being a history teacher = smartass couple.
  • Byung-gyu knows how to do braids, so he does Ju-hee's hair.
  • Byung-gyu is taller than her by his chin reaching her forehead.
  • There's a two or three-year age gap between them. After he graduated from college, with Ju-hee still studying, he will bring her food and help her whenever she struggles with studying.
  • Byung-gyu owns a motorcycle and uses it to pick her up.
  • Byung-gyu takes her to simple dates because he knows that's what she prefers and same goes to him. But he does his best to make it romantic by bringing her sunflowers.
  • Ju-hee makes him his favorite meals.
  • They know how to soothe each other down from nightmares.
  • Ju-hee pretty much falls asleep whenever he carries her.
  • They both have a dream of owning a house in the countryside.
  • Ju-hee likes romance dramas, Byung-gyu likes historical dramas, therefore they binge watch together all the time.
  • Ju-hee likes listening to Byung-gyu talk about history and uses it as a distraction if she catches him overthinking.
  • They're playful around each other.
  • Ju-hee trims his hair a little and dislikes it when Byung-gyu jokes about changing his hairstyle.
  • It takes some time for them to reveal their relationship to their friends. Not that they're afraid, they just like some privacy.
  • They don't usually display affections in public, but they always hold hands when walking together.
  • Hugging each other is their main therapy.
  • They listen to 90s love songs.
  • Byung-gyu flushes every time Yoon-ho accidentally calls Ju-hee "sister-in-law" just to spite him.
  • Despite being nervous, Ju-hee is genuinely surprised by how happy Jin-woo looks when she introduced Byung-gyu to him. The downside is that Jin-woo instantly spills embarrassing moments of her to Byung-gyu.
  • Byung-gyu knows how to deal an angry Ju-hee and that is bringing her sweets.
  • Healer couple ♥️
  • They're very open to each other. Literally. Not once they hide something from each other unless it's a surprise.
  • Ju-hee likes hugging him from behind.
  • Ju-hee has a nice voice for lullaby, so of course, she sings to Byung-gyu if he's having an anxiety attack.
  • She goes with him to visit Eun-seok's grave, reminding him that he's not alone.
  • Byung-gyu's grandma loves Ju-hee so much that the old woman makes clothes for her every time she visits with her grandson. His grandma also thanks her for taking care of him since Byung-gyu has been all by himself after his parents got killed by monsters.
  • They both like children, so when they're in his province, Byung-gyu and Ju-hee play with the kids in the neighborhood. The kids gushes about how Byung-gyu always spend time with them and are happy that he brought his "friend".
  • They spend picnic at the parks.
  • They're the type of couple who snaps goofy faces of each other and laugh it out.
  • Ju-hee visits Byung-gyu in the school he teaches at and his students adore her.
  • If one of his students get hurt, they'll rush to Byung-gyu instead of the clinic. Bonus: Ju-hee tends them too if she's around.
  • They're each other's best friend and each other's lover.
  • Byung-gyu won't pass a day without complimenting her.
  • Ju-hee treats him to meals and Byung-gyu lets her since he doesn't want to argue with her about it unless he wants to starve to death.
  • They can't bare sleeping without facing each other. It's either Ju-hee is the little spoon or she and Byung-gyu will embrace each other — pillows? What are those?

Truths that Co-Exist

  • Barbie (2023) is a giant product placement that profits off nostalgia.
  • The writing is profound and life-changing and understands why we seek nostalgia in a way most nostalgia-driven entertainment doesn’t.
  • The film is self-aware about how even now, Barbie dolls set incredibly unrealistic beauty standards. Their “body diversity” does not even scratch the surface of what that phrase really means. I don’t expect this to change.
  • The film still made a beautiful statement with the scene on the bench about how societal beauty standards are narrow and restrictive! And that beauty comes from experiencing life and the marks it leaves on you!
  • Its feminist statements are validating. Many of us see our reality onscreen, and the great thing is that it includes how cishet men fall down a pipeline of toxic hypermasculinity. It also shows the solution, and allows men to express themselves despite what society expects them to be.
  • The film is a capitalist venture.
  • The cast (aside from the leads) and crew were probably overworked and severely underpaid during filmmaking.
  • We can still appreciate that something fun was made, and we all made another wonderful memory where we and our loved ones went to the movies color-matching in pink.
  • We should not feel guilty about seeing ourselves in this film.
  • Meanwhile, support the WGA and SAG-Aftra strike.
