Jinu didn’t deliberately leave his mother and little sister on the streets.

Textually: HE was invited to live in the palace by the emperor. HIS FAMILY was not invited.

One does not simply ignore the emperor, or defy his wishes, right on the palace grounds.

I think Jinu had 400 years of Gwi-Ma reinforcing his shame and guilt - calling him selfish for CHOOSING to leave his family at the gate. Blaming the whole situation on him. The illogical voice of self-loathing.

But an impoverished musician is at the mercy of the emperor, and the guards would not let extra people into the grounds who were not invited.

Jinu could have said “no” to the emperor, stayed with his family and been killed for his defiance and the disrespect.

That’s really not much of a “choice” - wanting to live isn’t selfish. The Emperor’s Will is Law.

And feeling shame and guilt for believing he failing to provide for his family, knowing they were starving while he ate at the emperor’s table…. It is understandable… but putting it ALL on his own shoulders isnt the truth of the situation.

Hahaha~ It's not just 'sort of' - it IS their origin story~ Their summer romance~ How they became besties & fell in love~

(well, as we imagine it, anyway)

—@smp-writes pardyprompt Trapped In The Cycle——

Trapped. Momentarily. Always. Daily. Repeated.

In seconds, in hours, however life decides to leave me cheated.

The “wake, bake, work, sleep” of the grind is leaving me drained.

“Cycle it back, run it again”, however, can’t be ignored: it’s deeply ingrained.

Do you like the AU “Vlad emotionally manipulates Danny to use his powers for Crime while low-key abusing him about it”

Do you like “white haired guy tries to do good, but gets pushed to his emotional limit and BREAKS”?

You’re a Danny Phantom fan, so I can safely assume you also like “White haired hero guy who kinda fuckin dies and Comes Back Wrong”

Congrats that’s the hero ‘Nice’ from “To Be Hero X”!

You should watch it, there’s only 1 season and it’s SO GOOD! It plays with animation styles and has SUCH good music, and the story is SO INTERESTING.

THE VAMPIRE WRITER

If someone sends me proof they DONATED blood, plasma, or platelets this month (October 2025) That person can pick one of my fics and I WILL publish a new chapter of that fic within 48 hours of receiving that proof of donation.

DM me here on tumblr - silvermp or Silvermoonphantom.

ANY FIC IS ELIGIBLE, as long as it is not marked “abandoned” in the tags. Very few of my fics are marked abandoned.

Because there is no financial transaction, this is legal by AO3’s rules.

Pay with your blood!

The boy band is acting as his mouth and grasping hand in the living world.

HE is the one consuming your soul, whispering in your ear to hide your shame, that only HE can love your sins. HE holds you close, and drinks up every drop of shame and self-loathing that his haunting can create.

“Pray for me now” choral chanting is gwi-ma’s victims-

He’s had a high Trust Value for less than 6 months.

High Trust can stop someone from speaking or sitting down, for decades. He experienced a TINY FRACTION of that, when a small majority of fans demanded he “not leave” the tower, and it drove him to collapse over and over.

What happens when people imagine - not a behavior like “standing tall” or “being silent”, but a core aspect of their personhood and body that’s far more vague and all-encompassing.

What is “perfect” according to a consensus of 20 million people? (Most of whom either have a vague grasp of, or are weirdly avoidant about messy human anatomy)

Ahhh my heart wants to gnaw on that last bit so badly!

I think in “Your Own Pale Shroud” I’ll keep the focus on psychological and social ramifications.

In a separate fic, I can dig into the guts of how this premise can turn so easily into serious body-horror.

Body dysmorphia? Hahahhahahahaaa-

My fics are enjoyed only by those with the most refined tastes~
