I like the idea that Romance and Abby are in an open relationship and Abby has a massive crush on Jinu, but Jinu is too Rumisexual to even notice his bro wants to be more than his bro šAbby is dying internally at seeing Jinu betray all of demonkind for Rumi instead of helping his homies bring about the apocalypse. Abby is the type of guy to kiss his homies goodnight, and Jinu thinks this is a perfectly normal thing for bros to do with each other
jinu being a 400 year old demon senior citizen originally from wayyyyy back in history should be played as a gag more often in fanworks or in a future continuation like. yes, he successfully studied up on modern kpop fandom culture, kpop songwriting, and kpop choreography for his plan. but he doesnt understand how QR codes work. he doesnt understand modern slang. he REFUSES to get a cellphone and ONLY sends handwritten missives via tiger.
rumi: GOD you're old
I bring a āMira and Zoey are adult women who saw their best friend sobbing and pleading with them and chose independently, by themselves, to raise deadly weapons at her and watched her run off, which is a choice that cannot be fully blamed on Celine or Jinu, and it is problematic that Rumi apologizes to them but they never apologize to herā vibe to the function the KPDH fandom doesnāt really like
I understand WHY they did that but damn, if my bff was sobbing and pleading with me to listen to her, I wouldnāt point a gun at her even if I thought she was dangerous. I wouldnāt be interrupting her, cutting her off, throwing accusations. I would at least LISTEN TO HER. If they had listened to her and let her TALK, she wouldnāt have been upset enough to ripple the Honmoon during their conversation.
Based on the cut storyboards.

I just discovered that there's a "critical" tag for KPDH, and what I read there was... curious. Like, I don't know, but it seems like almost every "critical" tag on Tumblr is the same thing. And so, there are some interesting things, but the way people talk about the criticisms seemed... a little alarmist, let's say?
I don't know. š„
:0 what do you mean? I don't make much of a habit of going on the "critical" tags of stuff I like, but I can imagine what the "Jinu critical" and "Rujinu critical" tags say, based on the "brilliant" (read: bad faith, skipped-over-all-the-scenes-with-the-Saja-Boys) takes I've seen on Tumblr and Reddit about Jinu and Rujinu. (In case you didn't know, I've seen people on Reddit unironically call Jinu a Nazi and imply I'm a Nazi sympathizer for saying I understood--not even justified, just UNDERSTOOD--why Jinu did what he did.
But anyways, that's a tangent--I'm afraid I don't really know what KPDH critical tags say. I know there's a subset of weird Christians who think the movie is demonic and there are some legitimate criticisms about the movie (ex: rushed ending, underdeveloped Mira and Zoey, plot holes and inconsistencies such as characters saying for two days straight that the Idol Awards are tomorrow), are you referring to the former? Then again, I can't imagine there's many hardcore Christians on Tumblr who are starting moral panics about KPDH lol. (Even though people like that pick a new thing each generation to freak out about.)
But anyways, I'll take your word for it, anon, but I don't personally know what you're referring to specifically.
My WIP for @rujinucafe ās 1st anniversary event (specifically for June 20: Caged or Freedom š)
I am aware Rumiās hands look TERRIBLE I need to fix them lmao
"i firmly headcanon abby has a one-sided crush on jinu" me too it's so peak... best friends who kiss sometimes but won't talk about it (to me)
So real! Ngl, Abby seems like the type of guy who kisses the homies good night with various degrees of romantic affection, a quick peck for Baby, and a steamy kiss for Romance. He gives a passionate kiss to Jinu, and Jinu is about as oblivious to Abby's feelings is as Adrien was to Marinette in the early seasons of Miraculous Ladybug.
mer au stuff from march that I canāt let languish in my files any longer
Mira & Zoey like this is our girlfriend Rumi and this is Rumi's boyfriend Jinu and these are Jinu's boyfriends The Saja Boys and that's Bobby and the interviewers are like who.... is Bobby..... and they're just like yeah he's our emotional support aroace person.
That's it that's the post.

As a Boromir lover what is you thoughts on Faramir? The lesser brother.
I thought Denethor died, but here he is sending me asks
Rumi and Jinu from KPDH. Really enjoyed going for a softer colour tone on this one!
In a universe where the Saja Boys got to escape from Gwi-Ma and realize that they do actually like writing and performing music (and hey, guys, look, everyone thinks that "Your Idol" is a satirical critique of the K-Pop industry, do you think we should lean into that?), everyone is surprised to see that after Huntrix repeatedly said that they wouldn't be releasing "Takedown---" or, more accurately, the "other song they performed at the Idol Awards---" a music video of that song drops.
But when fans click on the video, they discover that "Takedown" has been rewritten to be a collab song between Huntrix and Saja, and it's a tongue-in-cheek mutual "diss" track that plays up the rivalry they used to have in a very teasing, unserious way. A good chunk of the lyrics are Rujinu flirting via banter. Every time Baby goes into a rap verse Zoey cuts him off and goes twice as fast. There's a moment where Abby lifts up something heavy over his head and then Mira immediately does the same thing except she's doing it one-handed. There's another moment where Zoey and Romance are back-to-back scribbling lyrics into notebooks and pushing each other out of frame, both of them with shit-eating grins on their faces. Mira and Mystery steal each other's glasses, try them on, wince, and toss them back to each other due to their prescriptions being wildly different. There is a running gag where there is one singular microphone, and the members of the two bands routinely steal it from whoever's singing.
And once the song's all over and everyone's pointing weapons/demon claws at each other, you hear Bobby's voice yell "CUT!" and thus begins an end-credits scene where everyone's cheering over the music video being wrapped, there's a lot of hugs and praise being thrown around, Baby pops a bottle of champagne and sprays it all over Romance, Abby and Mira do a secret handshake, Zoey and Mystery gush over how they absolutely have to write more songs together, and Jinu dips Rumi into a celebratory kiss. There are also more kisses shared between all three members of Huntrix.
And the music video ends with a message that says: Thanks to the members of Saja for doing this with us, we love you idiots <3
EDIT: Also, I've got a lyric snippet for this one:
Rumi: When I look at your face, I feel like I could sin / But then you open your mouth, and I'm like, "who let this guy in?"
Jinu: When your patterns start to show, it drives you crazy / 'cause you know I got you made
Huntrix: I don't think you're ready for the takedown! / Better line up now and get your heads in the game / Unless you're too ashamed
Saja: Oh, it's a takedown! / It's funny how you all think you can mess with us / Yeah, it's ridiculous
Everyone: Time to gear up and take you down!
I have come to the realization that my interpretations of Celine x Mi-yeong and Jinu x Abby are, out of all ships, parallels to each other. Celine was in unrequited love with Mi-yeong, a fellow Hunter, only for her to fall in love with a demon. Abby was in unrequited love with Jinu, a fellow demon, only for him to fall in love with a Hunter.
Iāve seen a lot of bad takes in my years in fandom, but one of the worst has got to be that Jinu sacrificed himself for Rumi to manipulate her further and make her feel worse. Genuinely, do people who say this a) know what a character arc is or b) have actually watched the movie? If he wanted to make Rumi feel bad, he wouldnāt have been apologizing to her, ignoring the pain of being BURNED ALIVE, assuring her that she saved him, and giving her his soul. Instead, heād be screaming in agony like Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar and accusing her of failing to save him.
Or, you know, he wouldnāt have jumped in front of a fire blast to begin with and wouldāve just let her die.
Iām willing to entertain the idea that him dying for Rumi was an elaborate act of committing suicide and he was happy with his death because it meant no more suffering for himself, but saying that his death was him actively trying to make Rumi feel awful? I donāt think we watched the same movie, and that take is just, quite frankly, beyond media illiterate.

Something I also find of note that I feel gets overlooked a lot by the fandom is how casual Gwi-Maās physical abuse of Jinu isālike even after the bathhouse fight when Gwi-Ma is pleased with Jinu and (sorta) complimenting him (āI taught you well, Jinuā still mostly praises Gwi-Ma and āSurprisingly, your plan is workingā is like, reluctantly impressed), Gwi-Ma still yanks Jinu down to the realm rather roughly, if Jinuās grunt when he lands is any indication. Unlike the shame Gwi-Ma consciously inflicts on his demons, he doesnāt even draw much attention to the fact that he can drag and yank them around, itās more of almost subconscious for him. Idk if that made any sense lol. I could be way off hahaha
It's true. I think... Gwi-Ma goes about his abuse in a fairly casual, conversational way, whether it's physical or emotional or whatever--he always acts like it's a natural fact of life because he wants his demons to believe it's a natural fact of life. By just constantly throwing in little barbs like the ones you mentioned, Gwi-Ma sets the tone for the dynamic between the two of them. Just like a constant drip, drip, drip of undercutting whatever Jinu's done to wear him down.
I imagine the physical abuse, especially, is something that Gwi-Ma wants demons to expect as "natural" and just a fact of their existence because so much of it is meant as a reminder that he owns their soul. He couldn't do anything to them if he didn't own their soul. He wants them to stay aware of the fact that Gwi-Ma has control over their souls (and by extension their bodies), because if they start to believe that they can escape Gwi-Ma's control, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy--like what happens with Jinu in the end. And Gwi-Ma can't have that.
No this makes perfect sense, and honestly, I love it when fan content explores and addresses how violent Gwi-Maās physical abuse of his demons can be. He owns their bodies completely, and I love when people write or talk about him being able to use patterns to constrict their throats, slam their mouth shut, twist or break their limbs, etc. Itās incredibly violating to not even own your own body, how Gwi-Ma can yank you around with just a thought.
So TIL that thereās a difference between emotional and psychological abuse, and that makes me wonderādo you think Gwi-Ma mostly uses one over the other against his subjects, or do you think he uses them both? ļæ¼
Also, Iām not crazy in saying that Gwi-Ma could also be called physically abusive, right?
I mean, it's hard to say given how emotional and psychological abuse are often used interchangably and have a fair amount of overlap and stuff, but overall, I would say that Gwi-Ma uses more emotional abuse than psychological abuse? At least based on what we're able to see in the movie.
It's a widely debated point, but generally, most people seem to agree that the difference between emotional and psychological abuse is that emotional abuse targets your feelings (aiming to make you feel a certain way), while psychological abuse targets your mind (aiming to warp your logic and reasoning). ...Which, you can see why they're often used interchangeably. If you're being psychologically abused, there will be an emotional element (as in, you will be distressed) and if you're being emotionally abused, there will be a psychological element (because emotions happen in the mind, and given the way our society talks about/views emotions, consistently manipulating someone into strong negative emotions is almost definitely going to make them doubt the strength of their own mental reasoning and logic).
...But anyway, I'd say more emotional than psychological because Gwi-Ma's main aim is to make people feel shame. Like Jinu says, making demons feel ashamed is how he controls them. That, to me, seems to fall a lot more under emotional abuse than psychological abuse.
No, I don't think you're crazy for saying Gwi-Ma is physically abusive. It might not be in the "traditional" or more well-known sense, but the amount of ownership that Gwi-Ma claims (and freely exercises) on his demons' bodies reads to me as a very physical type of abuse. He pulls them around, tells them he owns their soul, and physically tortures them if they step out of line (given the implication that Gwi-Ma physically hurt Jinu during that torture sequence--it feels to me like we can fairly confidently say that Jinu was being physically hurt then, given the audial and visual cues that scene gives to us, like the knife tshing sound paired with Jinu flinching and tensing up as Gwi-Ma enters his mind).
Overall, though, I feel like it's a good example of how types of abuse tend to bleed into each other. Even though Gwi-Ma uses some methods more than others, it all just depends on what's most convenient for keeping the demons under his thumb at the moment.
