Will would lay over Monty's grave like a dog and starve there
Imagine being 17, about to graduate highschool, and you have beef with some emo middle schooler that lives in a bathroom stall
Some idiot: "Why are you reading your own fic, that's shallow and stupid"
All fanfic writers and writers everywhere: "Who the fuck do you think I wrote it for?!"
Hyuna's revenge is threefold.
First — she knows her death would hurt Luka more than his own ever would.
Luka, who does not value his own body at all, smiles at the fact that he won even though he is thoroughly injured.
— Round 5 Commentary, Artbook
Heperu has long since trained Luka's fear of death out of him. It's implied that he's been put through the sensation of dying again and again until he overcame it.
At this point he isn't even phased by a gun to his head, only acknowledging it for a second in Wiege when it physically stops his forward step, before turning away uncaringly to look at what's more important to him — Hyuna.
Second — her final request asks him, requires him, to live.
Luka, live with love.
Embrace the pain, the frailty and the moments so unbearably shameful.
Forgive yourself…
Again and again, endlessly.
Because everything… begins from there.
Luka no longer has an easy out. Because oh death would be the easy way out. Living is the true challenge.
And to do what Hyuna asked of him?
Despite being subjected to the cruelest, harshest training known in Alnst since childhood, this will be the hardest thing he'll ever do.
By leaving him with those words, Hyuna has left him with no choice but to honor her final request, continue to live on without her, and be haunted by the gaping hole of her absence thereon.
This is even more harsh when you consider Hyuna has been Luka's coping mechanism this entire time, and she mercilessly stripped that away from him. Which leads us to:
Third — with her death, Hyuna is forcing Luka to confront everything he's been avoiding.
Luka was only able to walk away so easily (figuratively and literally) because he was escaping reality through Hyuna.
I resented you so.
I had to keep moving forward in every moment...
In comparison Hyuna was never able to accept what happened. She had to grapple with her pain, her loss, and her inability to come to terms with it in her every waking moment.
By dying right in front of him, Hyuna is forcing his eyes open to the reality he wasn't facing when he made her his entire world.
Luka made her his chosen savior, but what can he do when she's the one dying?
He now has to confront not only her death, but Hyun Woo's, and everyone else's. All of the horrific deaths he had witnessed, all of the ones he had a hand in.
But Hyuna also left him the answer within her last words — words that serve as both his condemnation and his salvation.
They're one last puzzle to solve, and if he manages to find his answer, Luka will be able to save himself.
She left him the answer, the words he needs, because even to the very end Hyuna cares deeply for that small child.
Hyuna truly chose to carry out her revenge in the cruelest... and gentlest way possible.
This time...
I'll be your new puzzle to solve.
So don't rush, and take your time to figure it out.
I don't know how long it'll take...
But I hope you find your own answer.
remaking this meme now that ep120 is finally out
i love to read a character's stoicism as awkwardness. yeah your posture is great and you're mysteriously surveying the scene but it's because you're stiff af and don't know how to approach anyone, right?
there is something so attractive? Is that even the right word just weirdly charming about jax but like he's literally a fucking purple bunny with yellow eyes and teeth I never got the hype until I watched the show, he *is* charming??????? it's most likely the voice that carries it all shout-out to the VA fr🙏 but still his whole character is just so weirdly charismatic and that is so fuuuuucking??????
UGH I hate it when I have an idea but the fixation is fixationing enough for me to actually work on the idea just think about it immensely bc when i think of putting it down im like 'im not even consuming this media rn' BUT SOO WHATT BUT MY BRAIN KEEPS BEING LIKE 'NOO DONT DO THAT' WHAT ABOUT U STFU!!!!
