I Need To Get More Masc So I Can Present Feminine

i love art where you can look at it and just Know that the person who drew it really loves the thing they drew like just by looking at it u can tell that’s their favorite character. love is stored in art

my sweet summer child...

no, no he doesn't

what makes the eighth sense so soooo good storytelling-wise is that it clearly has direction. so many korean web dramas are short and scattered with little to no plot or barely any/minimum character growth because a) they are either made to be the baseline for product placement or b) engineered to be these snippets that in the end will get slapped together like a compilation and called a film. in contrast, the eighth sense reads so much like a film because it is one, it was made to be one *one that screams CINEMA* it has already premiered (and is on its second week of release in megabox theatres) so the series is more like the extended version, the directors cut so to say, of that carefully constructed story. the creators are, quite honestly, absolutely insane for crafting and putting out a work of such quality. they are so bold with the editing choices bc they trust the audience. t8s is a show that doesn’t underestimate its viewers by thinking they require everything to be spoon-fed to them. the opening scene of ep3? (one can argue that it is in medias res but is it if we regard it as a whole with ep2 already out? would it be necessary to start from when they talk on the beach and ease into the feelings and vibes of the scene?) the point is the uncertainty, the surprise, the double take that makes, both the characters and us, freeze up and hold our breath the ending scene of ep3? the tonal change compared to the rest of the episode, the visual representation, the skip that isn’t shown... these are not drawbacks nor the results of missing something. these are the signs of faith poured into the audience over a piece of media that puts a whole world into existence. even if we don’t see all that’s happening, the sincerity and details that are constantly given, the delicacy and meticulousness of the parts that are shown of these characters living in front of us is compelling enough to get a full picture, to understand the unsaid just as much as what is stated. it is, once again, all about showing and seeing and I’m enraptured by it

curious about what people expect from artists that they follow- I've heard a variety of advice from folks and I'm wondering what the expectations of people on tumblr are

theres also a poll about OLD art~

day 9: allure

half formed thoughts about jaewon after kissing jihyun: he’s retreating.

when his friend(?) asks if he remembers he kissed someone last night. when jaewon pauses, asks with who? and it’s taehyung not jihyun and he breathes out in relief? in exasperation? in disappointment? i’m not sure

i think a typical response to almost being caught kissing someone anyone you’re not supposed to would be panic or giving excuses or plausible deniability.

but jaewon’s reactions always seem so minimal to me. so causal. so nonchalant. so oppressed.

depression is numbing. i wonder if a lot of how jaewon acts is the depression talking and guiding him. all this numbness and then the masking, the walls pulled up tight and around himself.

he’s also so so so tired. when he confronts taehyung in the washroom after being paired with eunji, he’s annoyed. so very annoyed. but he doesn’t fight. is it politeness? is it just him wanting to avoid conflict? when eunji says no they should work together on the presentation jaewon is so annoyed. but he doesn’t fight again.

there’s only so much one person can take before they break

*sees a feather on the ground* *small gasp* a gift

honestly...it’s ok to just use your skills on yourself! sewing clothes only you to wear, making art to hang up in your own personal area, singing and recording songs for you only to listen to...like not everything has to be for other people’s consumption!
