Nvm about getting smashed to the ground....
This guy is FUCKING UPSIDE DOWN
BUT THE HAIR
THE HAIR IS UNMOVABLE
Hong Jae Yeol:
*gets smashed to the fucking ground
Also Hong Jae Yeol:
*bangs still intact
And yet everyone is still asking who's the strongest in lookism.
Give his bangs a personality and you get the most OP character in the whole verse.
Afternoon Soto
So I found this Kim Gimyung edit on Pinterest (🤣🤣🤣) and couldn't help but be inspired to write a drabble featuring Soto Ayam, an Indonesian chicken soup.
You and Gimyung made your way to the school cafeteria where you can order a nice bowl of Soto Ayam. It's a chicken soup with rice, topped with a generous amount of shredded chicken, chopped cabbage, ground shrimp crackers, and vermicelli noodles.
****************************************************
You and your fellow members of the Student Council were planning a cultural festival for your school as a celebration after working your asses off during finals week. It's been an hour since you left your last period and went to the student council room to attend the afternoon meeting. You were a little cranky out of hunger and exhaustion. Not a single minute passed without you wishing the meeting would be over soon.
"That concludes the meeting for today. I will see you tomorrow to discuss the rundown for our event. Thanks for coming, guys." Said The Student Council President, Han Shinwoo, finally.
He then erased the whiteboard filled with the notes he scribbled after he let everyone take a picture of it with their phones. Everyone except you. Because you always preferred taking actual notes on your binder to snapping a shot of someone else's handwriting. Not to mention Han Shinwoo's handwriting was... a little less pleasing to the eye.
"Tsk tsk... Such dedication. No wonder you're one of the top students in our school," commented your desk mate, Kim Gimyung as he stole a glance at your neatly written notes.
"Well, unlike you, Mr. Top Five who takes naps during classes yet still manages to get straight A's. I actually have to work my ass off to get to where I am," you clapped back, mildly offended. You weren't always like this, though. It's the post finals stress that got to you. And hunger. And tiredness.
"Relax, buddy. I'm saying you don't have to take this seriously. We've just had our finals. It's time to party!" On the word "party", Gimyung threw his hands in the air, oblivious to the people turning their heads at his direction in surprise. You felt like dying in embarrassment.
"Besides if you let yourself be too stressed out, you'll turn out to be like that guy," Gimyung said jokingly while pointing his thumb at Seo Songeun who sat two desks away behind you.
"I can hear you!" The guy shouted, giving Gimyung the finger, then he made his way past your desk. Without breaking eye contact. Still giving him the finger.
You watched as Seo Songeun stepped out of the room. As soon as he disappeared from sight, you let out a snort. You didn't notice the boy beside you smiling from ear to ear just by hearing your laughter.
"Come on," he said, "let's get something delicious. I'm starving."
Gimyung grabbed his backpack and walked leisurely leaving your shared desk. You followed suit.
Both of you made your way to the school cafeteria where you can order a nice bowl of Soto Ayam. It's a chicken soup with rice, topped with a generous amount of shredded chicken, chopped cabbage, ground shrimp crackers, and vermicelli noodles.
Gimyung asked if you wanted a hard boiled egg with your soto and you nodded your head yes.
Soon after, he came back to the table of your choice, carrying a tray with two bowls of Soto Ayam on it. You and Gimyung enjoyed your meals as both of you chatted away about your day.

Finally someone said it! If it weren't for the people who fucked up his life, Gun would be a good brother/bestie/father.
Headcanons are welcome 🙌🏻
Like I have mentioned before, Gun has a tough and complex life. His environment is fucked enough to dehumanize him to the core. The narrator did a good job in portraying him like a demon, monster or something inhuman. Yet, the narrator gave us some hints of his true self - the nurture self.
I always like this image, the way he's gently caring Yena does something to my brain. Since then I always have the impression he has a mother-side. I mean what kind of man can hold a baby like that? Look at his pinkie, so demure.
Lately, we have panels of him venting about finding a succession (the urge to raise some kiddos), he "babysitting" Crystal, he cooking for Goo, making sushi for Daniel (we can all agree his love language is feeding people), being called "Nurture Genius", and he instinctively trying to comfort Daniel (even though he doesn't need to do that at all)
Then, it's where something clicked in my brain. I realize that is his true self. I bet he was sweet and caring before his family and the destructive lifestyle destroyed him. He has to suppress this self of him since the misogynist world he lived in associated nurture with feminine. And feminine equals weak. To become strong is to embrace the feminine destruction.
Likewise, monsters are made, not born. The problems of Gun Park are: 1) dehumanization and humanization of self, 2) destruction and nurture. I can see his struggle to be a human and control/maintain the "shiro oni" alter ego. It's nice to see his confidants (Goo, Daniel, Crystal,...) can bring out the side he is trying to reject.
I think it's interesting to see it in a major antagonist of a webtoon. Hopefully, Ptj can continue this work, I sure will let him cook.
That sounds like a bad friend you don't need in your life.
And this hits too close to home 🥲
You see, for me Lookism is my escape from the harsh reality. I like talking about Lookism, but I have no one to talk about it with. That is why I need MORE people to talk about Lookism.
We need people like you to keep this fandom alive. Cheer up, my friend 💖
I'm hurt because my friend just told me to stop talking about Lookism, because I talk about it all day. Today was a really bad day and he managed to get worse...
