Re: [FILL] 始终有限
Maybe it was nothing, but for Wonwoo, words and actions found it difficult to escape the gravity of his conscience. So the silence was something. -- HELLO JEON WONWOO CHARACTERIZATION OF ALL TIME. I will be turning this phrasing over again and again in my mind it is so rich. The mentions of other svts (specter of Yoon Jeonghan we will never escape you) (Soonyoung and Seungkwan not meant to be) (YANAN) are delicious.
The concept was like water in a room, and Minghao had just placed his hand on the door knob, and felt the force behind it. This line hit like a punch. I /felt/ this with my whole body. It would've been easy to make this comparison with a glass aquarium, or some other structure that's meant to have water in it, but. Water in a room with a door knob. Water flooded where it's definitely not supposed to be. That slight feeling of wrong-ness, of dread, just colored the phrase so beautifully for me.
Thank you so much for this I am kicking my feet and thinking furiously and hehehe-ing at my little computer screen, 17HOLS IS BACK BABEY
Re: [FILL] 始终有限
Thank you for understanding and seeing all those details!! I think you and your climate disasters/weather metaphors do influence me even after all these years - the flooded room metaphor came because yesterday I walked past a pipe which had burst after heavy rain, and a friend pointed to the houses downstream that were affected. Which in turn led to thinking about how some things in life are inevitable (like a train running on schedule, or an incoming shower), and as humans all we can do is work with it or around it. The premonition of an inevitable event felt like a metaphor for the junhao breakup, and Minghao /is/ currently in that liminal space, feeling the dread in the air, wondering what to do. And it felt a little cheeky, to make that metaphor real and situate Minghao in it.
17hols is forever <3 as are my soft spots for jww and yjh long may they reign
