I love hype for books because there’s no trailers, no pictures on grocery store products or brand tie-ins. Just a bunch of people saying things like, “This book DESTROYED me,” “I couldn’t sleep until I finished it,” “this book ensnared my soul with occult enchantments of ink and paper,” “I felt like a hollow shell of tears when I closed it for the last time.”
And more and more people go “Yes, yes, this sounds like exactly what I want.”
So you're telling me for decades people from all walks of life made fun of teenage girls for being stans, from the Beatles to BTS, and made teenage girls out to be these wild out of pocket intense fans of Cute Boys, all for turning red to come out and people to act like they have never heard of of a girl being into anything in their entire life???
I ship stuff on shows to fill the void of love that I don’t get in real life. It also is a distraction from my depression but that’s another thing
Ok so let’s take a minute and talk about how the three repeated pillars of Jeresa’s relationship are:
“We’re in this together.” Meaning they have each other’s back. They protect each other. They don’t have to go through any of this alone and they share that responsibility no matter what. They are partners.
“I’m not leaving.” They’re here to stay. Which for someone like Teresa who has a history of abandonment and trust issues is super important to know you have someone that’s not going to leave you. That cares enough to stick it out with them. And I bet you my entire ass, she’s also the first person that ever came back for James. This is really probably the first time either of them have someone to count on to not leave them behind no matter what. Someone that’s gonna stick it out through the struggles and the danger because they care enough to.
“You don’t have to hide from me.” Um fuck me up with this one. For James, who basically hates himself for the things he’s done and Teresa, who isolates her feelings because she can’t trust people this is big. They can be who they are. They don’t have to pretend or hide parts of themselves because their relationship is open and that’s why they can have these conversations about their fears and their insecurities and work through all their problems. They understand each other and there’s no judgement just acceptance and the shared need to move forward.
Like um excuse me, have you ever seen such a healthy, mature duo in your life? Yeah they have problems and they fight, but they work through it because it matters. I am such trash for them. This is the kind of partnership I deserve. Ugh they’re so powerful.

I’ve seen a lot of people criticizing and ripping on ko mun yeong’s behaviour and her character. I just wanted to clear something up, her character suffers from ASPD ( antisocial personality disorder ). This is a mental disorder and people with ASPD tend to ignore others feelings and show no regard for right or wrong. They also may act impulsively and lie and don’t care about the effects of their actions. Now it’s very clear that Ko mun yeong continuously acts the way she does not only because of this disorder and the trauma she faced in her childhood but becasue she hasn’t gotten any kind of treatment or psychological care. I really hope that this drama doesn’t brush over her illness and make it seem like she’s just crazy or something. I hope we get to see her illness being discussed and her actually getting the help she needs. I don’t want it to be brushed aside as a caricature or she’s just that way but I want to see some actual help given and actually discussing the issues around ASPD as well what it’s like.

Remember the last clip? It shook us, right? But we saw it coming because of the spoiler pics that was leaked, which sucks. Imagine not knowing that fight happening? The shock level would have been off the charts!!
It’s fun to watch without a spoiler, so please, please, please.. someone petition for Skam fans to notice this thing, like.. the Skam cast will be filming the whole week, leave them alone. I want a spoiler free experience, damn it!
well written badass heroines and incredibly attractive complex villains/anti-heroes that slowly go from enemies to friends to in love are my aesthetic tbh
