Anyway I was bitching about how hard it is to come up with feasible planets in Star Wars because sometimes you need a new planet from scratch and sometimes you need to know more about a planet than the 'has jungles, is probably a moon technically' than Wookieepedia will give you, and they're like 'oh yeah I can do something about that'.

So they've written (in Matlab but they swear it will run as a .exe as well and I may be conscripted to embed it as a web tool at some point) a star system generator.

You input what you know about the planet (ecosystem, population, sun colour, does it have liquid water, does it have a moon or moons, is it a moon or moons, temperature averages, atmosphere, you get me) and it will give you the... everything else about the star system, in obedience to real-universe physics. And if you input nothing you get a randomly generated star system.

And I’m like oh I know people who will be into this with a vengeance, and they're not on Tumblr, so this is me seeing who exactly would be keen on, and I cannot stress this enough, a real-physics comprehensive star system generator.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

The hunters between these two worlds. Fortunate for the hunters that the demons above ground kept a wide berth from them and minding their own business. But, still they hunt them down.

Anyway... Just thinking of Rumi who is half human, half jeoseung saja. Celine's mama smelling that particular demon scent and she's a hunter too.

Because the child she carries reeks of Hunter; because the babe in her arms stinks of the jeoseung saja.

"Take it to its father's kind," they snarl. "There is no space for soul-stealers in our skulk. She will bring Gwi-Ma's pawns to our woods and the Hunters on their tails."

It's not like when her mentors' rejected Rumi; she had expected that. To have the gumiho turn, even after her mother had nuzzled her and wrapped her in her tails and healed something she hadn't known was broken, is painful in a different, deeper way.

Rumi asks, years later, if she has a halmeoni or aunts or cousins.

Celine reasons that it's not really a lie when she says 'no.'

He's a middle school teacher.

And you're just like....are they all fucking with me?

an intervention

Think about it. Yes, she grew up likely very sheltered/isolated on Jeju Island, but also, she was a CHILD STAR. Even if she wasn’t performing, she was attending huge events like the Idol Awards with Celine when she was very young, and Celine was raising her to be a pop star. Rumi, who we know is a huge workaholic, has a ton of PR and media training and experience, more than Mira and Zoey combined. You don’t get to that position and point in your life without being able to read people (paparazzi, interviewers, journalists, etc) REALLY well. We see her gaslight and lie to Mira’s face no problem in the movie without even breaking eye contact. Yes, it’s obvious she’s hiding something, but she kept a massive secret from Mira and Zoey for years, and her lying only got bad and really noticeable when her patterns were out of control, she was stressed, and she was starting to see herself (and her heritage) differently thanks to Jinu.

And some of y’all don’t wanna hear this, but she was right about Jinu. Despite him saying that he wasn’t the guy to help her, that the Honmoon wouldn’t save him, she insisted, she persisted, she knew he desperately yearned for freedom and specifically used that to motivate him to sway him to her side, only meeting him one-on-one on her terms after their first rooftop meeting (we see her rejecting his invitations during Takedown, and she makes him go where she wants both other times they meet). Was part of her wanting to save Jinu trauma dumping and self-projection? Sure. But even when Jinu stopped trying to manipulate her (which he really only did in 1.5 interactions at most, and he wasn’t even really “manipulating” her at the fan signing, just being a smug asshole and holding what he knew over her head) and told her he wasn’t the dude to help her, she still saw and believed he could. And she was right! She was so right that Gwi-Ma literally had to step in and torture Jinu into compliance.

And finally, she single-handedly saved the world. Completely on her own, when talking to Celine, she came to the right realization and reckoning and appeared in Namsan Tower with the perfect philosophy and said just the right things to break Mira and Zoey free. And the fact that Rumi managed to convince the very dude who started the external conflict in the movie to switch sides is fucking impressive.

Bonus: I’ve seen takes that Rumi doesn’t know what sex or even a period is and like….come on, there’s NO WAY Celine skipped out on The Talk given what happened to Mi-yeong.
