i can not tell you how happy i am these 2 are together they deserve all the cute and happiness
bonus: gotta poke the dimple
This post will be about posture, and the way War works his characters to be perceived differently purely by the way he stands on his two feet.
Oh, the perfection with which he prepared both of these characters is out of this world.
Let me illustrate:
Joke, when he stands, stands taller; leaves no room of doubt he’s the chillest, coolest, most confident person, and cares very little how people are perceiving him at the moment,
as long as he feels awesome. [his insecurities are not rooted in the way he looks or the way strangers perceive him]
His head is kept high when he speaks. If you watch the show again, you’ll realize he’s always looking ahead and up unless he wants to go unnoticed,
and meets people’s eyes unwaveringly as he works his way through his elaborated ruses to get what he wants.
[We’ll talk more about how that changes with the object of his affection, Jack, on later posts]
Mark, my beloved, on the other hand, stands to look smaller than he is; not on purpose, of course, as it’s a deeply rooted thing within the character itself.
He does not look people in the eye for prologued periods of time, more of often than not looking away when he speaks to anybody.
Yes, that gradually develops as the show progresses, but shyness is an essential part of this character.
His posture is not completely relaxed; it’s slightly tense which casts light into the character’s personality:
Mark wants to be standoffish and cool, but his innocence and sweet, gentle demeanor are truly his worsts enemies.
He tries, though, throughout the entire show, to make it happen, but breaks off of it the moment someone (Vee or Mark’s dad) does or says something that awakens strong emotions.
When that happens he fails, because Mark cannot, for the life of him, hide his true feelings.
A stark contrast to Joke, an absolute master in hiding who he really is.
All in all, Joke’s posture comes from a confidence rooted in a combination of maturity and not giving two single flying shits
And Mark’s posture comes from a confidence rooted in a combination of innocence, self-esteem and guts.
War has done a hard deep dive in both characters; created entirely opposite personas and made both Mark and Joke have so much depth and detail to them a million more things could be said about them.
There are hundreds of little details that War has added to each of his characters. He truly has thought about every single mouth twitch down to a T.
Every head movement, his micro expressions, and even the way he speaks, even though it’s the same language, the same words.
Everything about these two characters is completely opposite. And yes, the fact that they are both making opposite fashion statements adds a lot of weight to their differences, obviously, but that’s not enough at all to create what War has created.
Just imagine eighteen year old Mark in Joke’s crop tops and feeling incredibly self-conscious, and twenty (five? six?) Joke in Mark’s fancy, neatly tucked-in dress shirts and wanting nothing more than to take them off. (Joke has worn that type of clothing before only while pretending to be someone he isn’t, so it does not count. When he’s himself, he opts to wear all baggy items)
I could go on forever, guys, but this post is already too long, so I’ll just say one more thing:
I’d die for this man.
More on these things later, I guess!
Thanks for reading, remember to be nice!
I posted a fanfic for the first time in like 10 years if not more (it's more for sure, shhh), I'm very stressed. 👉👈 BUT The Devil Judge managed to get me to that level of obsession and I couldn't help it (also I started writing this before last weekend and I can't handle other eps airing and making me edit stuff ok).
Here's a lil Yohan/Gaon fic I guess?
Yohan calls him in many different, often infuriating, ways. There's only one that Gaon asks for. When he's ready.
Let’s talk about Saint Suppapong’s physicality in acting for a moment. Watch Love By Chance back to back with Why R U? It’s kind of a revelation.
There are some really good actors in BL and he is one of them.
But when most viewers say “great actor” they’re thinking about facial expressions and how an actor portrays emotions.
What Saint has (and very few other actors anywhere do) is whole body physicality. The way he moves it totally different between Pete and Tutor.
When he walks: where he weights his spine, carries his arms and shoulders, and how he tilts his head is different. Tutor has faster more abrupt movements, Pete’s are more precise and careful.
When he’s standing, also different.
It’s actually kind of insane.
Saint inhabits his own body completely differently depending on the character he’s playing. It’s just really rare to see someone do this. It’s like spy-craft.
I’d love to see him tackle a seme character or a bad guy. I bet he’d be great more aggressive and agro.
It’d be fun to see how he inhabits space when he is required to take up a lot of it.
I think Plan has some of this ability too. Look at him in his Until We Meet Again bit part (aggressive, older seeming, stiff) versus Love By Chance (floppy, childish, and uncontrolled).
But with Plan we haven’t yet got to see him execute this as two different main characters where he has to maintain alternate physicality over time. Although it explains why he’s so great at imitating Tin’s posture and walk in LBC2. (One of my very favourite scenes.)
person: but if you're asexual AND aromantic, what DO you like?

1000 stars ep. 5 + favorite shots
Worried that they will lose the ability to see colors again, monos become obsessed with their probes. And their obsessions leads them to break the law. Monos and probes should never meet one another.
