* DO WELL !

001. if you've read my carrd over at takeabbyte, the same rules apply here. my name is gray, 32, trans man. we're here to have fun and be silly. no hate, no bigotry, and no use of ai will be tolerated here. this is will a low-effort blog with minimal formatting. you do what makes you happy <3

002. i am writing a sassy, silly little demonic bird. we have absolutely nothing on them, just like many of the characters in this series. this is my child now. again, i am not korean. i am mexican and puerto rican, but i will do my best to handle this character and the themes on this blog with the utmost respect. constructive criticism is welcomed ; hate is not. inspired by korean minhwa and mythology. heavily headcanon - based, infused with cultural symbolism and whimsy. do not steal this portrayal or repost my writing.

003. that being said, this will be a mostly humanoid interpretation of sussie. when they are portrayed as a magpie, those threads will be iconless because . . . they don't have many screencaps, so i'll be using a humanoid faceclaim. if this bothers you, don't follow. simple as that. sussie is a name reserved for those that are close to them ( such as haneul ( @jayuuu ), jinu, and rumi ) . everyone else can refer to them as soo-jin. soo-jin doesn't care about gender. they will respond to he / her / they. if you aren't sure or have a hard time picking, defaulting to him is okay.

004. shipping. yes, absolutely. shipping is based on CHEMISTRY. chances are i am going to ship it, but it's always best to ask just to make sure. this does NOT only apply to romantic dynamics. this is for familial, friendly, and antagonistic connections as well.

005. soo-jin is a demon. a powerful, old demon who has taken a liking to jinu and stuck by his side. they chose peace because they enjoy the life they've lived with jinu and haneul. why stir up trouble? just because they are a silly, sassy little magpie does not mean you should take them for granted.

006. triggers. all triggers will be tagged 'trigger tw.' i will tag everything as best as i can. any nsfw is going to be tagged as 'nsft.' or 'suggestive tw.' depending on the nature of the thread. this blog will include themes of spiritual liminality, folklore, monsters, and violence. giving the nature of soo-jin having three eyes, there may be visuals or descriptions of body horror that will tagged as 'body horror tw.'

appearance: a slim young man with beautiful locks of obsidian cascading down past his shoulders and eyes of glittering gold.

personality: soo-jin carries himself with grace and while he may look down on others, he is very fair and has a kind heart where it is deserved. he is known to be sassy and while they seemingly may have a short patience, they rarely rush people to hurry.

powers / abilities:

portal-walking : uses the honmoon as a conduit between realms. slips through shadows, doorways, dreams.

symbolism and origin: soo-jin is based on the magpie from hojak - do, a traditional Korean minhwa painting genre where a silly - looking tiger gazes up at a clever magpie. in joseon-era satire, the tiger represented corrupt nobility and the magpie represented clever commoners mocking them.
