    General KPop Demon Hunters things

    Hell's bells, if Celine were an adversary to Rumi then Rumi would be dead already. Rumi literally handed a sword to Celine and begged her for an execution, and Celine categorically rejected the very notion. Celine will not willingly hurt Rumi even if she's afraid Rumi is going full demon and...

    General KPop Demon Hunters things

    To be fair the girls had already rejected the option of simply cancelling performances until Rumi eventually recovered, which would almost certainly be Celine's advice as well. So it doesn't have to be 'they considered her absolutely horrid', it could be the simpler 'the children are not...

    General KPop Demon Hunters things

    An observation about the final scene that isn't directly lampshaded on-screen, but notably recontextualizes both the backstage confrontation and the final showdown. From AO3, in the comments of the fic 'Perennial' Because Rumi never got the chance to tell them that she was only half-demon...

    General KPop Demon Hunters things

    It's more that there's a Korean shamanic tradition of using ceremonial music and dancing to cast protective rituals over villages, and over the generations one line of demon hunters has consistently trained their successors to be entertainers because the larger the audiences, the more the...

    Twice Golden [KPop Demon Hunters] [Completed]

    While normally it's a failure as an author to have to explain what my characters are thinking - and to be honest, I don't think these explanations are necessary to either understand or enjoy the story - given that one of the things this story does is have people layer a lot of double-meaning...

    Twice Golden [KPop Demon Hunters] [Completed]

    Random bit of nonsense I drop here because there's no other thread it belongs in. Me doing an Incorrect Quote... Mira: I've only had Zoey for a day and a half, but if anything happened to her I would kill everyone in this classroom. Mean Girl: ... and then yourself? Mira: No, just you.

    Twice Golden [KPop Demon Hunters] [Completed]

    I am going to pat myself on the back a little for the bit with Jinu closing it out as Revolver Ocelot's apprentice as he proceeds to betray Gwi-Ma while pretending to betray Rumi on her original deal with him to betray Gwi-Ma that he was originally going to use to genuinely betray Rumi to...

    Threadmarks: Twice Golden

    Author's Note: Normally I put these at the end of a fic, but for obvious reasons I'm putting this one in the frontpiece. Notably, the big gigantic… Spoiler Warning: This fanfic spills all the tea about the big plot twists in the movie. If you have not yet seen the movie and would hate being...

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    Was rereading this and it occurred to me that while I had fun sneaking a lot of references into the story, I only explained some of them. So, here's the list... and I still may have missed a couple. Trillia's death scene, "Jedi: Fallen Order" Spoony's review of Ultima IX "You would have...

    [RWBY] RWBY Shorts

    "Followed by a newfound determination to just go out, grab Jaune, and ride him until his hips broke. Because if it spited that jackass AND got her what she wanted, win-win!" Never underestimate the power of a pissed-off woman. :P

    As A Consequence Of Your Action (Jumpchain) (Complete)

    I am reminded of two of my most favorite comments on this fic from the SB threads. I don't often get to utterly destroy a villain who entirely deserves eet with cruel mercy. I quite enjoyed the opportunity to do so in this story.
