#shhhh...

So now that I'm in this mood, I thought I'd vent (if you know me, nothing about this rant is new, so move on along if my opinions piss you off):

Cat!Kim - I think back on this headcanon and why exactly my negative reaction to it is so visceral, and honestly? I really just think it's because I have such a big ick when it comes to mixing up the actor and character, yknow. And this headcanon just reminds me of how much the space cadet's media personality has so utterly influenced the fanon take of Kim that I barely recognize him from the one in the show. Like, for reals, do we know if Kim even likes animals in the show? Cuz honestly? I feel like he'd see them as an obligation he doesn't need in his life. WIK likes them well enough to put them in his music videos, but I do wonder how much of WIK is real vs Kim's additions to the character in order to make him more appealing to his audience. Hmmmm~ (although thinking about it now, I totally have a fic/drabble idea I wanna tackle with this headcanon...hehehe...)

Autistic!Kim - No comment.

Chay being knowledgeable about all things sex because Porsche used to sleep around at his job in the bar - This one never made much sense to me, because of the reasons I've explained before. Personally, it disregards so much of the cultural context as to how the idea of openly talking about sex is viewed in Asia, besides the fact that it's not at all accurate to how Porsche's role in Chay's life is portrayed, as both a protective older brother and semi-parent.

Vegas would take a liking to Chay and vice versa - Yet another one that I never really understood, at least from the context of the show alone. Vegas is a self-serving man, and he has a penchant for using everyone around him to get what he wants and/or to keep himself safe. I'd sooner see Vegas pulling a gun on Chay and pointing it at his head, rather than playing besties with him.

Kim as submissive: Definitely influenced by the space cadet again (and his aesthetics), uh huh. Yknow, for a character that a lot of fans like to play with and bestow upon him the space cadet's characteristics (which is in and of itself also another can of problematic worms, cuz let's be for real ahahaha), I'm honestly surprised there's not much more Jeff/Reader fics out there. Hmm~

Chay as dominant: the poor boy is definitely used often as a self-insert. Alas.
