I'm of the belief that Min isn't so physically apt (at least not any more than necessary), but I do also think that Min is capable of some surprising feats under pressure.
For example, I don't think he'd be a very good runner under normal circumstances, but if something really important were at stake he'd suddenly hit the gas under the sheer power of stress and adrenaline. And then the fatigue and meltdowns would definitely crash into him like a freight train after, but, still.
#I've always personally thought this.. maybe because I like to indulge myself on an unrealistically competent in certain areas Min-Gi haha#I do think Min would be the type who runs out of breath easily. Not so in shape. Which clashes with this particular headcanon but I digress#Tonight's train of thought is sponsored by Sekai's Book 4 rewatch stream where he's in awe of how fast Min-Gi is#Sekai's words verbatim: “Min is so fast! He watches Ryan run all that way.. sees him on the cliff and just flashes on over!”#I found it quite funny#Honestly there's a chance that Min just figured out a more efficient route with the portals but I think he'd still have to run it some way#Also this headcanon just feels somewhat in line with Min as a whole to me? Is that odd to say#He's stagnant and hard to move which translates in my head as him being less deft for the most part#But he's capable of making that move himself when the situation is truly dire for him. Like finally escaping from the Docent or saving Ryan#And it's interesting to me how Min saves Ryan twice! (or thrice?) In both instances he literally hauls Ryan (and pries the mattress off)#I should make a separate post about this but I love that Min displays quite a deal of progress and thinking on his feet while Ryan stagnate#During the last three episodes or so of the season he really solidifies. He's very active!#I digress again! The point is Min may be impervious to a push so sometimes the universe really does have to shove him to get off his ass#A great big shove. An adrenaline-filled stress inducing shove. Consequence of immediate death shove.#And Min just HAS to pull through every time. It's deeply traumatizing but it gets him moving. I suppose that's all the train cares about#I wonder. His home life was so routine and comfortable and planned out that he barely had the need to hypothetically be on his feet#But when he's finally put into circumstances where he NEEDS to act NOW and his doubts are overridden by adrenaline.. He's able? He's quick!#This may be me projecting but the few seconds it takes for doubt to take root in one's head can truly ruin anything#Sometimes it's the thinking that stops you. Sometimes it's the thinking that makes things hard. It's like that for me anyway. Paralyzing.#Sometimes the way to do it is literally to just GO! MOVE! NOW NOW NOW! Leave no room for doubt to paralyze you#And I don't know. It comforts me to think that when push comes to shove Min has it in him to make those leaps and bounds#Both physically and metaphorically. He would definitely crash afterwards though it'd take some time to get used to#Um.. it's midnight where I am currently and I don't know if all my thoughts are on their best behavior. Sending this off regardless#min-gi park#slumberthoughts
