I was bored and listening to a few songs. I couldn't help but think how Teeth by 5 Seconds of Summer is so seol coded, and she's crazy but she's mine by Alexey Vorobyov is so Jung coded. I'd say these are hot takes lmao
Omg what's your thoughts on this chapter? Also last chapter before hiatus next week what's your predictions? Also i personally don't want cheol to get mad at miae or ignoring her because jisu saved her from the lightbulb😔i know cheol is just a 14 year old loser boy BUT the lightbulb might hurt her face if jisu didn’t take action right away. The fast forward scenes of today's chapter what do u think the reason behind them?
i actually haven't read it in full but i've read snippets here and there and 😭 my prediction for the next chapter is we'll see a shift in cheol and miae's dynamic and it'll end right on that note (maybe they have an argument over all this tension and one of them blurts out something scandalous like a confession or admitting jealousy sksks idk). i don't think cheol will be mad at miae for that since she couldn't control that, as he's pretty reasonable despite his jealous moments lmao. but he could be frustrated/jealous that jisu stepped in before he could. i'm not sure about the fast forward scenes since i haven't fully read the chapter though 😭 but i'll see it once it's updated on english webtoon !
I'm doing good 👐
Hi Selene 👋. How you been?
I hate bringing this up again. Manhwatwt would be better without those homophobics in it. They are threatening to sue or press criminal charges then see why people are upset. All they had to do was add gl/bl accounts. No one forced them to do anything else. They could have said it was a list of their favorite manhwa authors but they went the cop out route. The kind of people I can't stand are those that harm others than see why people are vocal on calling them out. I can't stand the drama but I can't stand seeing people I respect threatened with charges against them.
the threatening with charges thing was crazy… i’ve been bombarded and ratioed on twitter before. i’ve had my private messages shared without my consent before. and i never thought to press charges cause this is the internet ? how insane are they. it’s almost like they understand how bad the things said are. as for adding the gl/bl accounts, i don’t know how this issue landed here. i also don’t think anyone should be compelled to read stories and genres that don’t fit their taste, not to mention things “they don’t agree with.” but the way those messages spoke about queer people and compared them to murderers? absolutely revolting. i can’t see anyone who supports that line of thinking in a good light ever again.
It hypocritical how manhwa twt bring religion when someone asks why they didn't include lgbt+ authors in their lists. They go posting how they want a manhwa guy to impregnate or have sex with them. I block them because they are the lowest of the lows.
I wanna talk about a certain panel in chapter 149. When Jisu was showing miae how to play the guitar there was a panel that showed the church. Well i don't know why but it feels significant to me. Normally if it is a cheol miae scene then we always see planes flying but now in jisu miae we saw a church. What's your opinion on this? Do you think this is some kind of foreshadowing of anything? I am not a jisumiae shipper though. Also sorry for my english it’s not my first language hope u can understand my question😔
omg i didn't notice that ! i wonder if there are more instances of there being a church in their scene or if we'll see it more. something i noticed relating to foreshadowing is that flyer of that car with the words "it's not yours anymore" or something of the like always shows up when miae is around jisu or when his presence is more prevalent. i think this could be foreshadowing although i'm a little nervous to guess what it means lmao
What is the mbti of Jung?
I will always love early Aslfua it’s fun to read and very warm !! But these last chapters are just ☹️☹️ I used to look so forward to waiting for 3pm just to see what the chapter is about but now I find myself forgetting about it completely like I don’t go looking for it anymore 🤧 I haven’t even been keeping up with the English release as well I’m thinking I might feel different once I stack a lot of episodes up and binge it !! Since we got the announcement that it’s going to be ending soon I was expecting more tbh 🤨 not what the last few eps have been about. I truly hope the future eps are vastly different.
i totally feel you. i just don’t feel the same excitement anymore and even them cuddling in his bed wasn’t enough to keep me hooked cause they immediately switched to a boring misunderstanding plot at the academy. at this point, i’m just waiting for these academy days to a end and a big change to happen.
I don't think aslfua is irredeemable at all, people are just jumping to conclusions because of the recent chapters!! I wish we get out of this ASAP, I really miss the earlier times.
Which ASLFUA character are you based on your twitter personality?
Cheol - lowkey oomf who posts late-night deep thoughts on priv, gets dragged while just minding his business.
Mi-ae - active oomf who replies to everyone, tweets unfiltered random thoughts but deletes them later.
Jinseop - flirty oomf dropping pick-up lines but a loser irl, posts selfies for clout.
Song-i - sweet oomf everyone loves, retweets cute stuff, replies with soft words and ❤️✨.
Jungwook - studytwt oomf sharing tips, de-escalates drama on main but privqrts it for friends.
Jo Han - meek oomf retweeting bible verses and liking models' pics, shy but wants to interact in replies and join group chats.
Honggyu - chaotic oomf always starting fights, obsessed with his ship, says “it's not that serious" but gets heated.
Yonghui - chill multi-fandom oomf shamelessly tweeting random thoughts in main, disappears then reappears casually.
Sora - emo oomf venting on priv, secretly posts art on a hidden account, rarely active.
Taegwang - otaku oomf spewing niche fandom theories and secretly loves drama.
Jisu - nosy oomf replying with unsolicited takes, tweeting cryptic stuff only he gets.
it's CHEOL ! i read that description and immediately identified with it 😭 i love how detailed and specific these are btw i think they match the characters so well haha + i'm curious how others would rate themselves based on this :D
also side note i LOVE the detail about sora having a secret art account cause i'm making an AU where she has one (it's on hold because of final exam season though)
I just wanted to say that as much as I love soonkki's writing, her strongest forté is storytelling and that seeks to have gone south in aslfua atleast the past few episodes. Having read citt, it is a given that soonkki puts a lot of detail into her work and every single panel and dialogue is thought through I believe the recent changes are due to condensing the story and I have been busy with academics so I've stopped keeping up with few webtoons to let them marinate for a while and aslfua happens to be one of those webtoons. I think the ones feeling the same about aslfua can drop it for the timebeing and get back to it later. Ya"ll saying aslfua is irredeemable is a far stretch.
i agree, the storytelling is a little stagnant lately and i don't think it means the story is doomed in any way. we're just in a mini slump right now but it will pick up again soon, once we get to the bottom of whatever she's trying to do with jisu's character lmao. and yes i agree, it's in no way irredeemable at this point, i feel like saying that is just being too negative.
I absolutely lose my shii when I see people talking about jung being creepy as a child well breaking the neck was extreme but it isn't off putting for children especially those without siblings/close friends/cousins, they do tend to not adjust when something does not go their way. Kids yearn parental love in the forms they could understand much more than anything. Jung srsly had a sad childhood not once have we seen him getting physical forms of affection or verbal affirmations at the least you can see how it affects him later in his adulthood. It did help him read people out like a book while struggling with his own emotions and not having conveyed his love for seol in ways she could also perceive the best. I wish to re-read cheese in the trap perhaps next year as there's more to Jung than what meets the eye. (2)
i agreeeee i honestly found the doll breaking comment to be pretty normal cause that's how kids are, they feel possessive over their toys and get back at each other for petty things that way. jung having to give up his belongings at such a young age as his dad taught him to regulate his emotions in situations where HE was being wronged is so sad. i wish there was more content of jung and seol's life after college, i would love seeing them in a happy relationship and being affectionate and verbally affirming each other. the bespoke comics show jung as a match happier and emotionally light person, probably due to the years of happiness he's had with seol.
Jung acting like a parent should have threads on it because I believe it stems from how he had to grow up masking his feelings and just putting up with everything that comes hid way. Not many people seem to notice that jung for one is emotionally intelligent and I think him acting like a parent is an interesting layer to his personality. There are few instances like the time he saw inho near seol's house and he detests the sight of inho so the way he told seol to just go in that indifferent tone, all those times he consoled her and the way he keeps his feelings hidden. His father played a crucial role in shaping Jung the way we were shown in seol's pov and it's very sad that he had to grow up without a single adult in his life helping him understand and process emotions the right way. (1)
yes !!!! you're right, i feel like it could do with his need to control his environment and those close to him because he never had a sense of safety and his boundaries and needs were never respected as a child. it is a really interesting layer and i also like that even if it could make him seem cold at times, this trait of his was a huge comfort and support to her like when he encouraged her when even her parents wouldn't. he always gave her advice, cheered her up, reassured her that she was doing well, and helped her with her studies which felt like he was filling in a role of a guardian for her, but not in an awkward way, it just felt so natural with his personality. it is sad that he had to grow up so fast and learn to look out for himself cause no one else would care for his feelings. i'm glad he channeled it in a healthy way by using these traits to be supportive and loving to seol.
