I Have A Personal Vendetta Against Daily Pass. Like What The FUCK Do You Mean That If A Webtoon Is Complete

When Life Gives You Tangerines

This drama is so unique in it's storytelling. I'm watching it with my mom and I told her that I love how the pacing isn't in any order whatsoever. It feels natural, almost like being told by memory. And memories aren't always in chronological order.

It reminds me of sitting with my grandma in the garden, asking her stories about her childhood, starting from when she was a little girl to when she had my mom and my uncles, to her own siblings, then to her marriage. It leaves me with the same fluttery feelings, all warm and joyful. Yet the drama also offers so many perspective about life, about how people become when they grow up. As kids, we had big dreams and even bigger ambitions, but then as adults, we just try to do our best. Sometimes we fail but we try to make do and give ourselves a little bit of grace. Because this is our first life, everything is a first time.

The episodes just wreck me every. single. time. I don't think there's ever been an episode where I didn't cry. So many of it is just being grateful to my parents. I know I'm luckier than most, and I know that sometimes I'm a brat who doesn't appreciate it enough. But I know that nobody else would love me as much as they do and no amount of gratitude would ever surpass everything they did for me. Oh my God this is turning out to be so sappy. But I think that's exactly what the drama wants us to realize, that life goes on and always goes on. Don't have too many regrets. Tell your parents you love them. Find a partner who would treat you right, who would be your ally and your friend, someone you'd want by your side even if the whole world comes crashing down. And love yourself deeply(!!). When you do all this, everything just follows.

Needless to say I love this drama. I believe it's one of those that'll stick with me for a very long time.

Evolution of yoonmin?

okay sure will do ;)

Evolution of Yoonmin Slaying Armys

Ahhhh I’ve decided to get to the series I shamelessly did not update. I’m sorry about that, so as per the request I got probably a few months ago ( I’m so sorry). Let’s look at how Yoonmin has been slaying our exitance through the years.

2013

They were super charming.

And pretty goofy too ;)

2014

They were a little playful.

And by little I mean a lot. XD

2015

They turned out to be quite breathtaking.

But as dorky as ever. 👍🏽

2016

When they created an unforgettable performance.🙌🏽

And they didn’t really lose their funny acts 😂.

2017

When they made wigs fly. 💨

And made us laugh our guts out.😂

With that, we come to the end of our wonderful Yoonmin montage. I hope I can update the rest of the sets WITHOUT procrastinating. ;)

A To the G to the U to the STD.💕

@mothercain

Do you think Luca Guadagnino ever read tennis rpf on Ao3

watched top gun maverick for the first time and wow what a fun movie

BTS while shooting love yourself teasers.

Namjoon: Probably spacing out in the bus but looking beautiful as ever.

Seokjin:"Well don't you look dapper in that suit"

Yoongi:"This is the most acting I may do in my life"

Hoseok:"Well this isn't much of acting but more of dancing so I am happy."

Jimin:"Why am I always affiliated with water?"

Taehyung: Probably playing with the girl and having lots of fun.

Jungkook:Probably playing with the wheelchair and probably having wheelchair races with tae during behind the scenes.

A few more thoughts

This art by @Doodlemunster is just gorgeous. Doesn't she look like one of the Muses here? Actual goddess, I am telling you. From the moment we saw Miss thang on the screen, she has not been coded as human.

Siren? Of course

The first time we see Pearline, she is standing at the station, admiring the way Sammie's gift lures people in. His voice is something else; no wonder folk can't resist. As a siren, it's usually the other way around. She sings and men are at her mercy. I think this is why her gaze looks so curious. Pearline clocks his shit immediately. She can see something supernatural within this boy. Not to mention, the sinful nature of their interaction. She is the ultimate temptation for Preacher Boy. A married woman who adores him and his guitar? A blues singer that knows her way around a shotgun? A harlot who spends her nights entertaining fellow sinners? Jedediah would have a heart attack.

Werewolf? Absolutely

Why else do we learn nothing about her personal life? Her job? Her husband? She only really interacts with Sammie over the course of the night. That Juke Joint was packed with Black folk who've spent their whole lives in Clarksdale, Mississipi. Why doesn't anyone recognise her? As a lycanthrope, it is safer for Pearline to live on the edge of society.

Vampire? Eventually

Her last words before she turns are 'Sammie, run'. Does that sound like a woman who is happy in her married? Who longs to see her husband again? Scratch that, does that sound like a mortal? When Annie gets turned she refuses to live as anything but a human being. Her disgust was plainly stated, and thankfully Elijah respected that.

Pearline, on the other hand, accepts what is coming!! There is nothing to run from because she is already a creature of the night. From where I'm standing, Pearline is a werewolf in her mid to late 20s. She has experienced gruesome transformations before and with the full moon outside, she knows how ugly things could get. Her final warning to Sammie is a profound act of love and confirmation of her familiarity with the supernatural.

TLDR: This woman is not human. Never been human and I love that for her.
