Anyway, very familiar with tropes so this is what I think is happening/ will happen, even though it is purely conjecture. I am not making excuses for woosang, I’m just listing out what I think will/is happening:
1. Like Soohan who is lying about being someone who has had sponsors, woosang is also lying by pretending he is straight and that soohan is just a random indulgence, and that he eventually wants a ‘stable family’. He’s definitely not straight and has been into soohan since he was in school. Reason: their classmate mentions in chapter 9 that woosang looks at Soohan the same way he used to in school.. likely with longing. (Soohan cuts his classmate off before he can finish his sentence). Also it’s much easier to pretend to be nonchalant about finally hooking up with your HS crush than dump the heaviness of guilt and longing you’ve felt towards them all at once, coming clean to try and have an honest chance with them. Even though woosang is sponsoring soohan, he mistakenly calls it dating.
2. The rumours didn’t begin of woosang’s own volition. Things escalated either because it was a misunderstanding or someone pinned the blame of outing soohan on him. Reason: classmate states that it was unlike woosang to spread rumours.
3. He most likely knew what soohan actually said at the reunion, but used similar sounding phrases to get in contact with soohan again. He definitely knows that they can’t get close normally bc they had bad shared history, so he used an outlandish excuse. (This one is a little unlikely).
Overall, other reasons I think this is: woosang is not the dominant/ abusive top with how he’s written: sure he’s jealous, but he consistently goes along with how soohan treats him, gives into his demands, apologises when he wrongs soohan, wants to take care of him and (most obviously) he’s not homophobic bc he’s a little too excited to be on, in or with soohan anyway possible. This means it’s probably a long time desire being realised by him. The way he’s written is obviously a ‘romantic’ archetype as opposed to a ‘asshole turned remorseful’ archetype.
I respect you but I am built different. I am sustained by doomed yuri. Doomed yuri will save me. I love the imagery in of Ivan forcing the burden of his love onto till, of dying for him. I felt schadenfreude over Luka’s sorrow of him losing hyuna. I love hyuna and hated to see her go, but after Luca willingly entered ALNST for the second time after winning once before and then doing it all over again, fucking with Mizi and till’s head during the competition, I did not feel sympathy for him. I know in a system that seeks to idolize and exploit people like him being at the top is the only way, but him reentering does not make me like him. I’m angry that hyuna’s fighting spirit and desire to save others, her unending light was snuffed so swiftly.
Mizi and sua though, the truly were the beginning and the end of this series. Their love was so true and reciprocated. I cannot imagine being alive as Mizi though, after knowingly allowing her beloved to sacrifice herself for her. I felt her guilt so strongly, for not having loved sua as much as sua loved her. My heart broke over sua giving Mizi more lines to ensure she won. Broke again over sua succumbing to her fate, willing to die just so Mizi could live a little longer.
In the end I am happy that till and Mizi are alive. While Mizi’s whereabouts are unknown, I’m so happy to see till live and save children, no longer longing for love. I think this is the best way alien stage could’ve ended, given the course of events.
That's nice bud
who said mizi was alive
me. shes alive im vivinos this is my mangago acc
There are signs of her on billboards/televised coverage calling her a witch. Since till is still alive I extrapolated that she’s also made it out and is on the run, and wanted.
it’s okay to be in denial
OOHH yeah i forgot abt those signs !!!!
Guys basically I got recced a clip from the show based on the book ‘daisy jones and the six’ and saw the Wikipedia page where the author said they were inspired to write it after watching the 1997 performance of silver springs by fleetwood mac and how the singers looked like the were in love.
20 minutes later I am now possessed with the knowledge of the complex messy and weird dynamics and history of fleetwood mac and the relationship and breakup that led to that performance and HOLY FUCK I thought it was alright at first but now the line ‘I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you’ is echoing in my head FUCK I rewatched it and imagine staring down your ex while he stares back into your eyes and holding eye contact for a full minute on stage in front of hundreds/thousands of people and singing ‘You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you’ ATP I felt like I was intruding on something deeply traumatic and personal.
What The Fuck. It’s 4 in the morning and now I can’t sleep because messy singers/band mates couldn’t keep from fucking each other’s lives up in the 1970s. Still won’t read or watch daisy jones and the six though.
I began rereading and in the second chapter when the string first shows up kihoon jokingly says ‘You sure you didn’t tie this to me while I was sleeping? You naughty boy, you!’ which knowing their backstory and how the string between them ‘began’/ first appeared was so sick and twisted (based and cool) of the creator to write.
Edit: in chapter 6 yeon pictures his (not really) unrequited love as a nobleman of old falling for a commoner (though kihoon here is not depicted as a general/retainer but as a woodcutter? Idk he has an axe). Soop2rang was having too much fun with this lmao.
Edit 2: in chapter 12-13, yeon sees his past self’s painting and instructions on how to connect the string by force through the boulder.
soop2rang def had fun writing smut in the 1st season so that they can lore bomb us on th 2nd
