The coffee steam indicates the jump back?
First Image [ep. 119] - There was no steam for any drinks in episode 119.
Second Image [ep. 120] - There are many scenes with the coffee steam, but only from Sayeon's drink.
I wonder if the amount of time shown on screen might indicate how many times she jumped back?
I looked into other possible smoke/steam = time scenes in this arc and found these two. Again even though we see a lot of people smoking these are the only two times that the smoke is seen (as a string of smoke) in this Arc. The words and people involved are also very fascinating:
Sayeon: "Cancer doesn't concern you?"
Ryujin: "It won't have time"
I wonder will Sayeon have words with Time about this death you speak of Ryujin?
The smoke is coming from Jungwoo here. We know Jaeil smokes too, so I find it interesting that Sleepy chose Jungwoo for the smoke to come from, however Jaeil is in the forefront which makes me think it's about Jaeil here? (though I'm not certain maybe it has something to do with Jungwoo betrayal theory?)
I also kind of find it interesting that Jaeil next words are:
Jaeil: "Sayeon's gonna kill me"
Both these scenes are from ep. 115 - Delusion or Ambition.
We know Ryujin and Jaeil are parallels in association with Sayeon.
What could it all mean I wonder?
ok time to ryujinpost: the gift reveal segment made me gasp on a first read, esp bc i interpreted blood manipulation powers to allow for “blood bending” type control over other ppls bodies as in atla. but then the way ryujin threatens to hurt sayeon - the finger gun gesture particularly unnerves sayeon - made me feel like no, blood manipulation seems to be only manipulating the properties and movement of ryujins blood in hurting others, not in controlling their movements. ryujins flashback to her mom had her using it to carve up her old colleague rather than “blood bending” him to stop attacking. so that’s it then right? mystery solved?
but on my reread i couldnt stop thinking abt this sequence
Legolas pretty quickly gets in the habit of venting about his travelling companions in Elvish, so long as Gandalf & Aragorn aren’t in earshot they’ll never know right?
Then about a week into their journey like
Legolas: *in Elvish, for approximately the 20th time* ugh fucking hobbits, so annoying
Frodo: *also in Elvish, deadpan* yeah we’re the worst
Legolas:
~*~earlier~*~
Legolas: ugh fucking hobbits
Merry: Frodo what’d he say
Frodo: I’m not sure he speaks a weird dialect but I think he’s insulting us. I should tell him I can understand Elvish
Merry: I mean you could do that but consider
Merry: you can only tell him ONCE
Frodo: Merry. You’re absolutely right. I’ll wait.
#legolas’ hick accent vs #frodo’s ‘i learned it out of a book’ accent #FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Legolas: umm well your accent is horrible
Aragorn: *hollering from a distance* HIS ACCENT IS BETTER THAN YOURS LEGOLAS YOU SILVAN HICK
Frodo: :)
Frodo: Hello. My name is Frodo. I am a Hobbit. How are you?
Legolas: y’alld’ve’ff’ve
Frodo, crying: please I can’t understand what you’r saying
Ok, but Frodo didn’t just learn out of a book. He learned like… Chaucerian Elvish. So actually:
Frodo: Good morrow to thee, frend. I hope we twain shalle bee moste excellente companions.
Legolas: Wots that mate? ‘Ere, you avin’ a giggle? Fookin’ ‘obbits, I sware.
Aragorn: *laughing too hard to walk*
@ghostriderofthearagon
dYinGggGggg…
i mean, honestly it’s amazing the Elves had as many languages and dialects as they did, considering Galadriel (for example) is over seven thousand years old.
english would probably have changed less since Chaucer’s time, if a lot of our cultural leaders from the thirteenth century were still alive and running things.
they’ve had like. seven generations since the sun happened, max. frodo’s books are old to him, but outside any very old poetry copied down exactly, the dialect represented in them isn’t likely to be older than the Second Age, wherein Aragorn’s foster-father Elrond started out as a very young adult and grew into himself, and Legolas’ father was born.
so like, three to six thousand years old, maybe, which is probably a drop in the bucket of Elvish history judging by all the ethnic differentiation that had time to develop before Ungoliant came along, even if we can’t really tell because there weren’t years to count, before the Trees were destroyed.
plus a lot of Bilbo’s materials were probably directly from Elrond, whose library dates largely from the Third Age, probably, because he didn’t establish Imladris until after the Last Alliance. and Elrond isn’t the type to intentionally help Bilbo learn the wrong dialect and sound sillier than can be helped, even if everyone was humoring him more than a little.
so Frodo might sound hilariously formal for conversational use (though considering how most Elves use Westron he’s probably safe there) and kind of old-fashioned, but he’s not in any danger of being incomprehensible, because elves live on such a ridiculous timescale.
to over-analyse this awesome and hilarious post even more, legolas’ grandfather was from linguistically stubborn Doriath and their family is actually from a somewhat different, higher-status ethnic background than their subjects.
so depending on how much of a role Thranduil took in his upbringing (and Oropher in his), Legolas may have some weird stilted old-fashioned speaking tics in his Sindarin that reflect a more purely Doriathrin dialect rather than the Doriathrin-influenced Western Sindarin that became the most widely spoken Sindarin long before he was born, or he might have a School Voice from having been taught how to Speak Proper and then lapse into really obscure colloquial Avari dialect when he’s being casual. or both!
considering legolas’ moderately complicated political position, i expect he can code-switch.
…it’s also fairly likely considering the linguistic politics involved that Legolas is reasonably articulate in Sindarin, though with some level of accent, but knows approximately zero Quenya outside of loanwords into Sindarin, and even those he mostly didn’t learn as a kid.
which would be extra hilarious when he and gimli fetch up in Valinor in his little homemade skiff, if the first elves he meets have never been to Middle Earth and they’re just standing there on the beach reduced to miming about what is the short beard person, and who are you, and why.
this is elvish dialects and tolkien, okay. there’s a lot of canon material! he actually initially developed the history of middle-earth specifically to ground the linguistic development of the various Elvish languages!
Legolas: Alas, verily would I have dispatched thine enemy posthaste, but y’all’d’ve pitched a feckin’ fit.
Aragorn: *eyelid twitching*
Frodo: *frantically scribbling* Hang on which language are you even speaking right now
Pippin, confused: Is he not speaking Elvish?
Frodo, sarcastically: I dunno, are you speaking Hobbit?
Boromir, who has been lowkey pissed-off at the Hobbits’ weird dialect this whole time: That’s what it sounds like to me.
Merry, who actually knows some shit about Hobbit background: We are actually speaking multiple variants of the Shire dialect of Westron, you ignorant fuck.
Sam, a mere working-class country boy: Honestly y'all could be talkin Dwarvish half the time for all I know.
Pippin, entering Gondor and speaking to the castle steward: hey yo my man
Boromir, from beyond the grave: j e s u s
Tolkien would be SO PROUD of this post
It got better

You know we have seen a Relic being activated twice now and I realized something. Both Rarog and Wolhye's Relics had these four pointed star-like patterns around them when activated.
We also have often seen similar star-like patterns around Sara's Relic at seemingly random times. Originally I just thought it was a stylistic choice, but is it possible her Relic is actually active? Did Sara activate her Relic even in places that were not considered dangerous? If so, why?
[Image. 1 ep 72 - Blood Covenant, Image. 2 ep 42 - A Perfect Lie and Image. 3 ep103 - Insects]
Her Relic is red. In other words it is a Relic that should enhance the body in some way. If it is active during these times then we cannot observe what it is actually doing. I wonder though if it is making her gift (future sight?) stronger? Or if it synergizes somehow with her gift in some other way?
Also when Rarog activated his Relic his eyes changed to the color of his Relic's essence (orange). I notice in all these scenes we never see Sara's eyes. Could they be red?
finished my hj reread and paid extra attention to min. he does not seem to have ANY “internal monologue”, at least not in his own voice. a majority of his emotions and thoughts are conveyed through flashbacks, thru his facial expressions/framing, OR *vague spoilers for ch128 which is currently a fast pass chapter* thru occasional omniscient narration/another characters voice.
this is ofc fundamentally abt his agency and personhood being denied thru his whole life. he is not afforded a voice and interiority at all on account of being samins sharpened blade. I really really love this as a narrative choice - his arc seems to be abt breaking free from both samin and sayeon and reclaiming agency for himself as a person, rather than as a tool - and so it will be great if, as he develops his own goals and autonomy, we start actually seeing his internal monologue the way we see sayeons/ryujins/iseuls
more rambling + screencaps under the cut
sayeon's godling
thinking about Sara Lee and Raon Kang. how they're foils, just like how Sayeon and Ryujin are foils of each other. specifically thinking about how they view themselves in regard to their respective daughters
Sara's "you're my daughter. you're above that," in contrast with Raon's "Ryujin, you can't grow up to be like Mom. she's the biggest loser in the entire world"
Sara's sheer ego versus Raon's utter lack of pride in herself. the implication that Sara expected success from Sayeon because of who her mother was. while Raon hoped a better future for Ryujin despite who her mother was
Sayeon is good at distancing it so it becomes a number problem. Like the others in the webtoon comment section said though, I wonder would Sayeon choose differently if the single person was Ryujin? Also love the classic Sayeon "evil thinking" hair twirl (her version of the moustache twirl lol).
Isuel's answer does not really surprise me either. Isuel and Sayeon seem to have pretty similar thought process really? They both have the most similar pro-Crops mindset at least. However Isuel seems more forgivable because of the hesitation? (Hmm an interesting thought really, on forgiveness)
Min's answer is so sad. I wonder again however if he would change his tune if it was his loved ones it was about to run over (Samin or Isuel in particular)?
Ryujin's answer is interesting too. It's true that turning something like this into a simple math's problem is dangerous. She has the most moral and thoughtful anwser. However I kind of wonder if she partly might not of wanted to make a choice at all? (which could fall into Ryujin's somewhat passive theme she has in the comic). Also "was it Sayeon" lol.
Interesting that it's Dahee asking the question too.

Papercraft commission of Frieren! I love this series, so I was extra excited to make this piece. ^_^
Since I had free choice of what spell to depict, I picked the Vollzanbel/black hole spell from the big magic fight in episode 25, because I thought it would look especially rad made out of shimmery holographic paper. Plus, I also got to make flying rocks! Bursts of fiery light! Lots of drama!! And, my favorite part - I got to go super, wildly detailed with Frieren's hair!
terrifying when you watch a movie or a show or whatever & youre like that was fun but it felt a little redundant they didnt need to hammer the point home that much & then you go online & theres thousands of people going that was so weird i did not get it what did that mean google.com ending explained please?
It's easy to forget that media literacy IS a skill. Like, its not something that you just have or you don't, you absolutely can improve your ability to pick up on metaphors and literary devices etc if you actually care to, it just takes practice (ie: watching things through a critical lense and stretching that muscle).
Along the same line of thinking I don't think people who lack media literacy are stupid. Even people with high media literacy tend to forget it's a such valuable skill, but if it wasn't valuable and wasn't something that takes practice and effort there wouldn't be so many literary breakdowns and explanation videos and reviews that get into authorial intent.
More people WANT to understand the deeper intent behind art, but a lot of people never bother to try stretching that muscle because they're convinced that they're just stupid and can't interact with media in that particular way, that that's the job for the brainy reviewers and critics.
All it takes is a little nudge and some encouragement sometimes; There was a time in our lives where none of us knew what a metaphor was. Ultimately if it's someone you care about who "misses the point" of something you like, you COULD be upset that they're "not smart enough" for it or whatever, or you could break down exactly why the point is what it is, and encourage them to look for those literary devices in other things they watch.
Everyone's gotta start somewhere.

got so invested in my snapback mii family i had to draw them (wip)
Another collaboration with my friend at StartDrift, he made the beautiful composition, and I worked on the character.
The anime is so stunning, and I really need to catch up to the manga.
