UGH. I feel like I have to fight the fandom on a piece of Kim Dokja's characterization here.
KDJ DOES NOT HATE 'KIM NAMWOON'. HE ACTUALLY LIKES THE KID AFTER GETTING TO KNOW HIM AS A PERSON. He will protect KNW!!
He specifically DESPISES [999] Kim Namwoon. That KNW alone!! No other KNW! Really cannot stand the 999th turn KNW!
Why just 999th turn KNW?
KDJ judges people based on their actions not what their characterization is.
“I was taught to pay the price for my actions”
999th killed his favourite YJK turn.
999th got off for free for what KDJ believes is the worst thing ever. This is a parallel for KDJ believing that no punishment is enough for taking away the ■■ from YJK >>> subway thoughts
The hatred is less because “you're like me” but more like “I cannot forgive this. Not for myself, not for others, not for anyone.” Kim Dokja struggles a lot with the concept of forgiveness.
999th turn KNW was forgiven for something he believes he shouldn’t be forgiven for, so Kim Dokja just deals out the punishment himself.
He feels sooo bad about all the other KNWs. He will go out of his way to make the other KNWs safe/happy.
He gave 1863rd KNW his special coat to play with
When summoning 1864th KNW (the one in the gundam) he's all like!! Gotta make sure this KNW is safe! Can't let anything happen to him with Disconnected Film Theory, even though I did bring him here to help me deal with the 999th turn
There's a line somewhere, around the time Jang Hayoung messages ABFD for the first time, where Kim Dokja thinks "just like Kim Namwoon, ABFD might not be so bad after all".
Kim Namwoon is used to further reinforce that no one is born a villain.

April 4, 2024: Coyotes by the Eliot House, Glyn Maxwell
Coyotes by the Eliot House
Glyn Maxwell
Tom I’ve a question and all I have is a question.
There are lots of coyotes near this old house you lived in.
I didn’t expect them here in the green Northeast.
Figured them things of rocks and the high sierras.
There goes another one bounding for the bushes.
First time, I thought: that’s a dog acting really strangely.
But it didn’t turn back for approval or get distracted
by an insignificant thing, as a dog will tend to.
No it was gone by now, it had made me nervous.
They’re the size of a family dog but they’re on their own.
Folks round here reassure me there’s no danger
unless you attack their cubs so I’ll shelve my plan
to attack their cubs, chrissakes. Tom, Tom,
apologies, I have loved my time in your house.
Last night at dinner we heard a siren wailing
off in the town and all of them started howling,
all the coyotes for miles around in the bushes
aghast, alerting their young, alarming their old,
rising and heightening, matching its pitch and power,
one near the blue spinning light in its thrall, uniquely
bound by this unpredicted visitation.
Then after the siren faded they packed it in.
What do they think that is, that demands of them
and gets of them their love or their terror or both?
What do we poets do when we know it’s nothing?
Not for them or against them or about them.
Tom, I had to be here to ask that question.
I expect I’ll have to be gone before you answer.

I was asked to name four albums I know all the words to and I realized it's basically any album that I had when I was 12.

April 25, 2024: from Moon for Aisha, Aracelis Girmay
from Moon for Aisha
Aracelis Girmay
— for Kamilah Aisha Moon, with a line after Cornelius Eady’s ''Gratitude''
Dear Aisha,
I mean to be writing you
a birthday letter, though it’s not
September, the winter already
nearing, the bareness
of trees, their weightlessness,
their gestures —
grace or grief. The windows
of buildings all shining early, lit with light,
& I am only ten & riding
all of my horses home,
still sisterless, wanting sisters.
You do not know me yet.
In fact, we are years away
from that life. But I am thankful
for some inexplicable thing,
let’s call it “freedom,” or “night,” the terror
& glee of being outside late, after dark,
my mother’s voice shouting
for me beneath stars
which, I learned in school,
are suddenly not so different
from the small salt of fathers, & gratitude
for that, & for the red house of
your mother’s blood,
& then, you, all nearly grown,
all long-legged laughter,
already knowing all the songs
& all the dances,
not my friend, yet,
but, somehow — Out There.
In one version of our lives,
it is November.
Through a window I see
one of our elders is
a black eye of a woman, is
a thinker, & magnificent. [...]
It is always her birthday.
She has always lived
to tell a part
of the story of the world,
what happened here.
If not a moon, what can
we bring this woman who
walks ahead? For whom
you were named,
& whose name has been
added to by you
whose language crowns
the dark field of what has
been hushed, of what is
beautiful & black, & blue.
--

Written to the author's friend, poet Kamilah Aisha Moon, who died in 2021. Read one of her essays: It's Not The Load That Breaks You Down; It's The Way You Carry It.

Frank Zappa – Apostrophe (') (1974)
9 tracks, 31 min 59 sec
Rating: 9/10
Top Track: Cosmik Debris
Today, I get to listen to one of my dad's favorite artists. Obviously, this means I've had some degree of casual exposure to Frank Zappa, although not a whole lot, and I think to some extent the subject matter of a lot of his work is to blame for this. At any rate, this tends to be his most popular album, so giving it a shot today. Only song here I'm particularly familiar with is Don't Eat the Yellow Snow.
This was a really fantastic album and one of those that is really close to a 10, it's just missing a little something that would bump it up there for me. Honestly, side 1 on its own might just make it to a 10? Not sure, but it's definitely the better part of this album. Side 2 drags it down just a tad, though it's still rather good in its own right. Overall though, a really good listen and a surprising amount of jazzy influences? Not something I really expected for some reason, but it comes together really well. Top tracks here are Don't Eat the Yellow Snow and Uncle Remus.

I've been wandering past the tv today while husband binges 63 episodes of Reacher.
I am ok with the idea that an army jock who solves problems with his fists also knows the local zoning specifications for agricultural use of land in a county he's never been in before. Or that he is an expert finance bro and could write a white paper on diametaceous earth. I'm fine that costuming thought him wearing black camo and dark face paint would hide him perfectly inside a well lit house with white walls and beige floors, or that the face paint is rain proof, pool proof, and drowning proof, but not shower proof.
I refuse, however, to buy into the very unlikely idea that not only does this man, this average white middle aged man with admittedly ripped abs and orms for days, this bloke who monologues entire theories to himself... NOT ONLY is he aware of the appropriate use of a plural possessive apostrophe, BUT SO IS the dead(?) person who wrote the note? And Reacher had 100% confidence that the note writer had that knowledge AND* the note writer had utter confidence that the note reviewer would also know, and spot it? And thus break the case open?
My guys. That is not how this works.
*that last bit may not actually be a plot point IDEK if they're dead I'm just catching snippets ok?
