and another rant i have built up over jinjae is their everything around food. the first instance i can remember is the courtesy chocolates SHJ brings HYJ after the Babar dungeon, when he's in the hospital (chapters 80/81), which he says is for HYJ due to the stress he must be feeling over HYH. and then immediately kills any goodwill in the very next sentence by going Wowww you're so useful and i'd love to acquire you etc etc. HYJ's not even the one who accepts them from SHJ, that's BYR, and later HYJ says he only eats them because he has nothing better to do (no other option than SHJ, huh...) and even then the Dokkaebi ends up eating half the box. gift that's barely accepted.
the next instance i can think of is post-human trafficking auction in chapter 127 where SHJ makes him eggs, but. well. literally as he's cooking they have this exchange:
(this got so fucking long i had to put it under a cut. takes your hand come with me on this journey)
[SHJ] “I’d like for you to stay unharmed until I grow bored. Mentally, I mean.”
[HYJ] “And my body doesn’t matter?”
[SHJ] “If your bulk decreases, you’ll be easier to carry around.”
so "i'm making food for you" but also "i don't care if your health deteriorates and/or you lose weight, as long as you're useful". an interesting combination of messages to send, given that HYJ's also struggling in this scene to figure out what SHJ wants from him, what with seemingly looking out for him and his loved ones by lending Sillekia to BYR for fighting HYH, but also still continuing with this "my item" shit and only looking at him for his usefulness. but this instance IS notable in that it's the first time SHJ cooks for HYJ. a slight turning point in their relationship...?
it does seem so cuz after that... HYJ becoming sick of orange- and apple-flavored mana potions because he chugs them so often, and SHJ responding to this in chapter 185 (birthday arc, before HYJ admitted he stole his memories) by acquiring swiss chocolate-flavored mana potions for him. already he's started with the little treats.
and then. sorry i'm feeling the 216 feelings. 1 minute. Okay normal. and then. yes once again it's chapter 216, when SHJ first starts making readably genuine attempts at kindness towards HYJ, starting the entire interaction by making him a drink that "looked like it was just juice, but it was actually sweet. Tasty." normal behavior from SHJ to rent out the entire rooftop pool and bar to show off his bartending skills to HYJ btw.
then the VR dungeon arc, where SHJ can't see HYJ until he installs the first disc, but the moment he does he starts being absolutely unbearable, the relevant part being when HYJ's reached Achates and is stressed out over HYH's treatment to the point of losing his appetite, at which point SHJ sends him the "Must Eat Well" quest to coax him into eating, rewarding him with chocolate-flavored mana potions, which HYJ himself admits remind him of SHJ:
‘But why are they chocolate-flavored?’
It made me think of that person. It had tasted good.
we're told in chapter 249 that SHJ needs to expend tremendous effort to give HYJ quest rewards and that whatever he gives usually gets cut down (he's talking about point conversions there but i suspect it applies to other rewards as well). so to specifically seek out two potions, especially ones he knows HYJ will prefer more than the common fruit-flavored ones... [puts on my large jinjae-shaped sunglasses like that shit they sell for new years]
and ok i jumped ahead to 249 for the rewards thing but come back to 245 with me and look at that series of cooking quests SHJ sent HYJ to guide him through cooking dinner for himself and HYH. copying over my discord messages from when this chapter dropped for this part of the analysis:
ALSO SPEAKING OF SHJ
that chain of quests at the end. he is driving me crazy
but yes the cooking quests. like. okay. I mentioned before [...] that I considered this a jinjae scene chapter because. the layers of it all right. he sees hyj wants to cook for his brother but can't decide what to make/how to make it cuz the decision paralysis is hitting after the longass day he's had. so he goes ahead and picks a meal and gives him step by step instructions. overly specific so hyj doesn't hit some dumb roadblock like "idk where the spatula is" and lose it for real. it took multiple quests to give the instructions it might've been easier to give him a prepared meal from whatever store he's picking these rewards from but he spent that time anyway because I'm pretty sure going through the process soothed hyj. normality after the Everything of it all. and then at the end of it because he Knows hyj is prone to not eating when he gets stressed he baits him into eating with rewards. like. Bro. Bro
like. OUGH. he cares. he cares....
AND ALSO
THAT LAST FUCKING QUEST
"made with a spoonful of your partner's love" IS NOT SOMETHING THE SYSTEM WOULD SAY
SHJ I KNOW YOURE LEANING INTO "OH NO THE SYSTEMS ALTERING MY MESSAGES DW" AND LETTING YOUR FEELINGS SHOW. YOUR PAPER THIN MASK
overemotional over cooking. god. god
and even after the cooking thing knowing that hyj would freak upon waking up and not seeing hyh and so keeping an eye on hyh and sending him a quest to tell him where he is....
like fuck dude. FUCK!
ok that's enough of that excerpt this is starting to derail from food analysis. wait hold on actually 249's point about the cost of sending quests and rewards makes the cooking quest series even more impactful because how much did SHJ spend to go to that level of detail and care for HYJ!!!
anyway back to food analysis. 256 where HYJ dies to the inscription process and SHJ purposely serves him bitter tea and sweet cookies to point out that he shouldn't take rewards that come at great costs. SHJ you really love communicating things to people through food, huh? but the fact that the second he's understood SHJ takes away the bitter tea and replaces it with something less bitter and more savory. the fact that when the scout finds him, the last thing SHJ does, even after draping his coat over HYJ to protect him from the shards of falling sky, is refill his teacup. the fact that HYJ drinks it and thinks about how it's warm.
GOD!!! do you see my vision. do you see. SHJ and HYJ and cooking and eating as an act of caring. an act of love.
ALSO ANOTHER THING. about HYJ. is that (In Case You Haven't Noticed) he denies himself things. he denies himself a Lot of things. lion-king-style holds up chapter 239's description of how he saves the 10,000 won birthday gift from his parents every year to instead use for HYH's birthday. HYJ has terminal parentification disease where he denies himself everything that he can instead offer to his kids. including things like Preferences methinks. see, at the very start, with that very first gift of chocolates, HYJ mentioned how he didn't particularly care for sweet things. little treats. but he ate half the box. he accepted the sweet mana potions. he liked the sweet cookies SHJ gave him in 256. personally i am very much reading into the fact that SHJ appears to be giving him the space to exist as his own person with his own likes. his own tastes, even. lmao. [BARELY HOLDING BACK TEARS]
#sctir
#YES THIS
#and the food thing KEEPS COMING BACK
#thinking of at least four-ish different events in the next like...40 chapters (or something like that)
#it's so good though
#and they're all REALLY interesting
#also it's basically mentioned here but what I always think of with hyj's sweets thing is like
#one of the first lies you probably tell a kid when you can't afford more than a small treat for them
#or they only have a little and want to share it with you but you know they won't be getting something like it again anytime soon
#might be something like: 'oh no thank you I don't like sweets. you enjoy it!'
#hyj to hyh trying to encourage baby!hyh to eat his treats: 'oh I don't like sweets!'
#and just...kept doing it
#hyj probably started this as an 8-year-old or something
#hyj being caretakered right back is my favorite thing in the novel
#there's even a conversation soon in the translation (or already happened?) where SHJ's 'caretaking' impulse/vibe is talked about
#in regards to people who just happen to be in his party at a given point in time not even people he really cares about
#idk idk his narrative role next to hyj is just really fun and interesting
#I'm not saying anything I'm just verbally jumping and down excitedly
#that's what tags are for
(via @tyrantwombat)
GRABBING YOUR HANDS AND PULLING YOU OUT OF TAGS AND JUMPING UP AND DOWN WITH YOU YEAH YEAH YEAH THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING!!!! DENIAL OF SELF!!!!! also im taking note of those first few tags 👀 looks like this post will be getting more additions in the coming weeks
SHJ working hard to undo HYJ parentification habits and provoking him into being greedy is possibly the greatest thing about their relationship. Like wdym the greediest guy in the world that wants to possess anything that even possibly pricks his interest is like "yes let me teach this man how to use me properly and express his wants" and he does it so well bc Han Yoojin NEVER feels guilty about asking for or taking things from him because he has a terrible personality and Mariana Trench pockets and so Han Yoojin is just like "you owe me this much for being an annoying bastard" LIKE IM SORRY??? SHJ LITERALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO OVERRIDE TWO DECADES OF SELF SACRIFICIAL PARENTING BEHAVIOR BY *checks notes* BEING ANNOYING???? And the best part is that it's not a front or facade to get HYJ to lean on him, like he didn't start annoying him with the intention of provoking HYJ into expressing what he wanted, he's just naturally such an absolute headache that HYJ had no qualms taking him for all he was worth and then part way through SHJ realized "wait, I actually care about him, and he deserves to have nice things" and turned on Attentive Malewife Mode (TM) to make sure that HYJ could have everything he could ever consider wanting. And then he just... continues. Like atp he had already solidified a relationship in which it was normalized for him to both be annoying as fuck and occasionally pleasant and gift showers were also already quite common so HYJ doesn't even necessarily notice that he's being taken care of half the time. I think it's also really funny bc HYH and BYR are *astutely* aware that SHJ is pretty much the only person HYJ allows to take care of him and just have to deal with it bc that's not a role they can fulfill.
Neil being a demisexual and how obvious it is by how he uses simple terms when meeting people like just saying their hair and eye color. He doesn't even bother describing people he doesn't find important. Meanwhile the difference between meeting Andrew for the first time vs him having fallen in love with him has Neil waxing poetry about Andrew and it's so funny. Miser i don't swing was down bad by the second book.
First time meeting Andrew: "Andrew Minyard didn't look like much in person, blonde and five feet even."
After falling in love with Andrew: "Andrew looked as he always had, and Neil knew his face as well as he knew every iteration of his own. Despite that, something seemed different. Maybe it was the sunlight streaming through the window, making Andrew’s pale hair shine brighter and his hazel eyes seem almost gold. Whatever it was, it was disorienting. A wordless question buzzed under Neil’s skin, leaving him restless and out-of-sorts."

It's incredible how all of the censorship on the modern internet doesn't actually seem to be making society kinder or more wholesome hmm maybe there's a lesson in this
Han Yoojin (S-Classes That I Raised) vs. Jiang Cheng (Mo Dao Zu Shi)
Han Yoojin
Jiang Cheng
Voting ended onApr 12
Propaganda under cut:
Han Yoojin
Man managed to give birth to 3.5 babies and adopt at least 2.5 more, AND string at least 4-5 alphas in a non-omegaverse world, who knows what the count would be like in an omegaverse? His literal actual superpower is being the universe's best parent <- this sentence is SO MUCH truer that it looks like but i can't say more because spoilers.
Jiang Cheng
Big MILF energy, big bark, soft tofu heart, raised his nephew Jin Ling after his sister and her husband died. Really cares a lot. Just look at him, the omega energy radiates off of him!

I mean, we're talking about people whose lifespan is Yes.
"Oh, the weak wine? That is for children. I am two thousand years old, and I daresay one sip from this highball would knock you on your ass for a week."
Look, there's this weird thing people do with high fantasy where they want elves to be immortal/extremely long-lived snooty aristocrats and also somehow incapacitated by imagining the taste of salt too hard. "Orcs and dwarves have the hardest booze" no they don't, they have work in the morning! In any of these settings, elves would pregame harder than hobbits party and everyone else has shit to do tomorrow.
The average high elf builds up the drug tolerance of a mid-70s Hollywood producer and then spends three centuries studying alchemy. While humans seek immortality, the Immortals seek the elusive "philosopher's cocaine."
The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!
It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.
As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.
Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.
If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.
I'm going to reblog so that way my own post is more visible (to the extent of visibility this update brings).
@changes @tumblr This update kills the main communicative feature this site is built on. Your own post is a perfect reference: the combined reblogs listed from the OP (tumblr) and changes amounts to nearly 8,000 reblogs, which makes it seem as though this post has barely any traction. I know for a fact this isn't true, because people who haven't updated their mobile app have posted screenshots showing that the total amount of reblogs totals nearly 50,000, if not more depending on how long it's been since those screenshots were posted. This isn't accounting for likes or replies, by the way, which are similarly skewed and fractured.
The website is not built for this type of split, it just isn't. The whole point of reblog chains is for dialogue to visibly continue, and this update does not do that. You cannot see reblogs to your post continue past the first addition, and even if you could, what purpose does that communication have if you're missing potential swaths of contribution?
Not only will people not want to reblog with comments (potentially leaving their comment in the tags so the post remains 'unbroken,' which will clog up the OP's notification feed and was considered a faux pas that's just as missable, now) they might not want to reblog at all. This kills any and all creative communities on Tumblr, which is a major reason a lot of people continue using the website, because they are unable to track how their work spreads OR receive proper credit if someone adds a comment to their reblog. This isn't even considering how this propagates harassment, introduces awful "ratio" posting from twitter (which people tend to avoid if they use this site), and makes it hard to correct misinformation.
This is a bad update, full stop. If this is being done to try and encourage people from Twitter to come over by making the website's UI more "twitter-like," it's a bad move. There was nothing stopping me from being able to reblog someone's post without a certain comment I didn't enjoy prior to the update. This doesn't make easier to understand, it replaces it with a far worse system that doesn't function properly.
Revert this change. I don't care how much effort your team has put into this, it is a bad update. There's now no reason for me to use the core feature of this site. If you want to be like Twitter or Bluesky, there's no reason for me to stay here, where the functionalities of those sites do not work as intended.
