I don't think we need a monologue or explicit statement from Dany renouncing the Targaryens of Old Valyria for owning slaves and the Old Valyrians for spreading slavery through Essos. She never thinks about them, she doesn't have them on a pedestal in her mind. She has a favorable viewpoint of her immediate family, mostly Rhaegar, that she was taught by her brother. I dont think we need to see Dany explicitly state for the readers that her slave owning ancestors were evil and she disagrees with them because her actions show this.

Do you have any character in mlp that’s not really important at all but excited you or stuck in your mind? It doesn’t have to be anyone who has/will have a grand galloping 20’s counterpart, I just always find it interesting what minor guys people latch onto.
(For an example/to share, mine are that gay sea serpent from the first ep and Troubleshoes)
Big fan of Coco. I like the soft-spoken but determined type of characters. Shame she's only in like, three episodes. I like that Lightning Dust's a shitty person but not a villain. She's just a realistic asshole. Saffron Masala's great South Asian rep.

*spoilers ahead*
maybe it's because i was reading orv before reading dod but debut or die feels like a love letter to idols and fandom the way orv feels like a love letter to readers.
i just keep thinking about the world of the screen. keundal receiving strength through gun134's fancams, despite never meeting. moondae receiving keundal's wishes and help through the system screen.
idols and fans live in two worlds, but they meet through the screen. what connects them? what makes the two worlds connect? why do idols keep performing, why do the audience — the fans — keep watching?
it's fun.
just like testar's concept — it's because it's fun.
because it's fun, because it makes you laugh, because it makes you scream, because it makes you cry.
because you share those emotions, the two worlds are connected.
and when you meet the idols live, those two worlds overlap for a moment and those emotions spill out.
gunwoo, who captured idol videos just to make money. gunwoo, who helped keundal during the worst time of his life through the screen. gunwoo, who lived in an isolated world but still touched others' hearts through the videos he uploaded.
and when they met outside the world of the screen, he once again helped keundal. keundal who cast the wish to help the one who helped him and became the screen itself.
because ryu gunwoo was his idol even before he was park moondae. because park moondae (ryu gunwoo) saved his heart, even before everything.
gunwoo gave him the world of the screen that saved him, and then keundal cast a wish to give him a world that loves him through the screen
idk i keep thinking about how much moondae loves his fans and how much they love him. how their prayers and hopes reached him when he was comatose. how he's always planning to make sure the fandom is having fun and not tired to support testar. how he may not be the og "park moondae", but he's undoubtedly testar's park moondae.

It's the beauty mark! They both have the beauty mark under the left eye.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They both share the same name and they are connected to Phaya in some way.
Tharn sees visions about Phaya and Phaya saw the woman under the water who resembles Tharn.
The mystery deepens and I want to know their past connections.

the little flying pearl robot is so cute!! i love her lil crown, the little flaps that look like her tentacles, and the eyes and eyebrows!! im betting marina made it for her💗 its like their child
marina, in this trailer, doesnt seem to be speaking through the same mic with pearl like octo expansion. so if were looking at it in a positive-nothing-bad-happened-to-marina light, marina has her own robot that isnt shown in the trailer. but my main guess is that something happened to marina like being sucked in like dedf1sh and lost within wherever they are

‎ ⋆⠀⠀ʬ.ʬ.⠀⠀٬⠀⠀ THE LOVE MAP OF LETALIS.
trigger/content warnings : shitty behavior & questionable choices.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NAIRA⠀⠀┉⠀⠀*⠀nawanthorn somwan & carter kim.
Tumblr media
‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀DURATION    ›    2009 - present. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀CURRENT STATUS    ›    on & off. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀LEVEL OF PUBLICITY    ›    general fandom knowledge.
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ .  OVERVIEW: naira's tragic relationships can all be traced back the the number nawanthorn, nicknamed true but anything but, did on her back in the 10th grade. the two came from relatively familiar families and although naira tries to deny it, she knows deep down that she's going to end up marrying him because it's what their parents want. constantly on and off, naira and true always come back to each other, no matter how much they attempt to drift away.

 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ .  OVERVIEW: toxic, lowkey obsessive on naira's end. started out as a fun rebound after she dumped true for the 2nd time, turned into a weird dynamic where she gave him the world and he couldn't be bothered to be honest about anything. finally ended when she overheard hwaseong calling her a loser for sleeping with him and realized how weird the whole thing was.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MELANIE⠀⠀┉⠀⠀*⠀hudson taneti.
Tumblr media
‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀DURATION    ›    2011 - 2013, 2016 - present. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀CURRENT STATUS    ›    long term relationship. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀LEVEL OF PUBLICITY    ›    public knowledge.
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ .  OVERVIEW: scoring the hot guy in the year above her was melanie's crowning achievement her junior year of high school. the two met at a house party in 2011 and dove head first into an intense and often publicly problematic relationship. aside from their screaming matches in the school parking lots after his matches, the two genuinely fell head over heels for each other. with hudson leaving college to play rubgy professionally and melanie moving from brisbane to seoul, their breakup gave them the space and time to grow up apart from each other. reuniting, fittingly, at a championship afterparty, they easily picked up where they left off. a frequent presence in melanie's circle, the girls have their own unfavorable opinions about hudson; considering his role in the fallout between melanie and heri. but, none would ever dare mentioning them to melanie.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
JUNIPER⠀⠀┉⠀⠀*⠀choi dahae & margaretta young.
Tumblr media
‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀DURATION    ›    2016. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀CURRENT STATUS    ›    cordial. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀LEVEL OF PUBLICITY    ›    fandom rumor.
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ .  OVERVIEW: juniper's first everything. dahae was the first person juniper came out to and their relationship quickly spiraled from there. a lot of sunshine and rainbows and puppy love. the relationship taught juniper a lot about what she likes and doesn't like. but the stress of being completely secret eventually got to dahae who was fed up with juniper's reluctance to come out to her friends.
Tumblr media
‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀DURATION    ›    2019 - present. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀CURRENT STATUS    ›    long term relationship. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀LEVEL OF PUBLICITY    ›    worst kept secret.
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ .  OVERVIEW: it's been said that pearl annoyed juniper into a relationship and it's not too far off from the truth. juniper's fatal flaw is that she doesn't care much about anything. pearl, deciding she would be the one to fix that, stepped up to wiggle her away into juniper's frigid exterior. they're been going steady for a while now as an open secret between their shared fandoms.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
EMMY⠀⠀┉⠀⠀*⠀cara chapman-oliver & quinton ong.
Tumblr media
‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀DURATION    ›    2011 - 2012. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀CURRENT STATUS    ›    friends. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀LEVEL OF PUBLICITY    ›    unknown.
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ .  OVERVIEW: cara and emmy were yearmates attending the same finishing school in bristol, england. neither of them took the relationship to be a big deal considering they hadn't ever discussed their sexualities. the relationship was slow though the lines between their friendship and the relationship were often a mess of tangled feelings. nothing much ever happened between the two beyond a long kiss or a short cuddle and by the time emmy had decided to leave england for korea they had already been more friends than girlfriends.
Tumblr media
‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀DURATION    ›    2015 - present. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀CURRENT STATUS    ›    long term relationship. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀LEVEL OF PUBLICITY    ›    fully public.
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ .  OVERVIEW: fans often joke that emmy got the y/n treatment when she started dating quinton and it's all very true. around the time that quinton's band, chaos theory, started performing small gigs in korea, emmy made it her mission to go to as many shows as possible. after her attending three consecutive shows, she was noticed by the drummer and invited backstage after the show. despite the half-assed disguise she'd throw on, quinton was quick to realize she was a member of a blossoming letalis. after emmy was famously accused of being a groupie, apricus would confirm their relationship to the public just a year after they met. the couple is unabashed in their interactions and posts with each other, being one of the most beloved couples within the company.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NARYUN⠀⠀┉⠀⠀*⠀park hyunki & trenton won.
Tumblr media
‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀DURATION    ›    ? - 2018. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀CURRENT STATUS    ›    no contact. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀LEVEL OF PUBLICITY    ›    highly scandalous.
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ .  OVERVIEW: it's not publicly known how or when naryun and hyunki started dating. the official story apricus gave was that he was the son of her longtime ballet mentor and they began dating in 2014, after naryun's 19th birthday. most fans don't buy the story after naryun accidentally let it slip that she had been dating hyunki for six years in 2017. while it is true that hyunki was the son of naryun's mentor, it's well known that she started dating him in 2011 when she was 16. hyunki, who was seven years her senior, quietly led her on for years. naryun's realization that hyunki had only promised her empty words came in the form of a daintily packaged invitation to the baby shower of his pregnant fiancee in 2018. needless to say, naryun and hyunki do not speak anymore.
Tumblr media
‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀DURATION    ›    2021 - present. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀CURRENT STATUS    ›    long term relationship. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀LEVEL OF PUBLICITY    ›    fully public.
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ .  OVERVIEW: naryun and trenton have known each for over a decade. beginning with his work on the group's debut album, trenton is a staple to the letalis sound. famously, trenton developed an unrequited crush on naryun who was deeply entrenched in her relationship with hyunki. after witnessing the mess hyunki left naryun in, trenton jumped at the first opportunity to be naryun's rebound. although it took two years of sneaking around, trenton finally found the courage to present naryun with an ultimatum. giving in, the couple posted a joint announcement asking fans for privacy and understanding as they made their relationship public knowledge in 2023.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
JISEO⠀⠀┉⠀⠀*⠀niels holtz-park & samuel myung.
Tumblr media
ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀DURATION    ›    2017. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀CURRENT STATUS    ›    friends. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀LEVEL OF PUBLICITY    ›    heavily rumored.
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ .  OVERVIEW: there really wasn't much to jiseo and niels. they had met in passing a couple of times, he got her number from corey, they dated for like two months, and broke up by the time rumors started circulating about them. they've been pretty good friends since then and niels has contributed to some of jiseo's solo work as recently as last year.
Tumblr media
ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀DURATION    ›    2019 - present. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀CURRENT STATUS    ›    long term relationship. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀LEVEL OF PUBLICITY    ›    open fandom secret.
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ .  OVERVIEW: jiseo and sungjoon have known each other since chaos theory started playing shows in korea in 2015. frequently accompanying emmy to their gigs, jiseo and sungjoon quickly established a solid friendship. as jiseo became further integrated into sungjoon's friend group consisting of corey and ian, jiseo found herself in the whirlwind of their wild habits and notorious parties. bonding over their introversion, jiseo and sungjoon would become each other's closest confidante. unfortunately, the very parties that brought the two close would end up dividing them after a particularly dangerous night left sungjoon spiraling. though it would nearly take a miracle, the two were reconciled in 2019, deciding to take the relationship they had avoided seriously.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HERI⠀⠀┉⠀⠀*⠀carter kim.
Tumblr media
‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀DURATION    ›    2021. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀CURRENT STATUS    ›    complicated. ‎ ꨄ⠀⠀&.⠀⠀LEVEL OF PUBLICITY    ›    deep fandom knowledge.
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ .  OVERVIEW: a lot can be learned from carter and heri's relationship, if it can even be called one. don't sleep with your groupmate's ex-fuck buddy, don't help each other pick up girls, and most importantly karma often comes in the least expected person. it's been said that carter truly did fall in love with heri who couldn't be bothered to return the feeling. it's also been said that heri's entanglement with carter drove naira mad with envy. interestingly, carter hasn't dated since then, and melanie finds the whole situation hilarious.

Tumblr media
┈─ 𖧷 we had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart ? we love what we love. reason does not enter into it. CLÉO WITH TOMORROW X TOGETHER.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
CHOI YEONJUN 𓄹 despite briefly meeting each other in their respective groups at award shows and the like, the two of them didn’t officially meet until they started mcing together at inkigayo in july of 2023. and much like her twin, cléo strikes him as someone who is honest upfront with a liking towards sly commentary and witty remarks. cléo finds him both funny and also never wants to see his shoe collection. two things can exist at once ! banter and pretending they have light beef on camera is a major part of their friendship.
Tumblr media
LEE KISUNG ( @wondrelove ) 𓄹 meeting kisung actually stopped the world from spinning for a total of three seconds. the world’s axis titled even more, resulting in onscreen chaos when stray kids and txt happen to be within each other’s vicinity and stress between their respective leaders. it’s not their fault the two of them just clicked and happen to leave chaos in their wake.. ( think changbin and wooyoung. they feed off each other’s energy. only cléo would rather give up coffee for the rest of her life than willingly perform aegyo. )
Tumblr media
CHOI SOOBIN 𓄹 she thinks he’s so sweet ): upon surprise visiting alexei on one of her rare off days, she bumped into him in one of the hallways and — despite looking exactly like one of the people he’s been working and dorming with — he thought she was a lost trainee and offered to walk her back to the waiting area. when he did eventually connect the dots ( aka, staring at the set of twins with a mix of awe and disbelief ), he apologized countless times before essentially ghosting her out of embarrassment. if anything, it made her more inclined to seek him out, and now they’re at a point where they hold a lot of respect towards each other. even if he gets embarrassed still whenever someone brings up that story.
Tumblr media
CHOI BEOMGYU 𓄹 # 1 enemy and bane of her existence. the two of them almost squared up within fifteen minutes of meeting each other, and while no squabble happened, that doesn’t stop the two of them from throwing light shots at each other. think cléojun but much more chaotic. ( the two actually are good friends and don’t actually feel the need to square up anymore, but where’s the fun in suddenly stopping the shade ? plus it makes alexei’s nerves heighten, and if there’s one thing the two have very publicly agreed on, it’s that their love for pushing her twin’s buttons go beyond fake beef. )
Tumblr media
KANG TAEHYUN 𓄹 she honestly thought he was the most normal one in the group .. ( and then she rethought and decided that anyone who willingly became friends with her twin had to be strange to some capacity. no offense. ) but she found out he had a cat and warmed up to him very quickly. much like soobin, they have a very respectful relationship and often send each other cat pictures when they have the time.
Tumblr media
HUENING KAI 𓄹 she finds him so cute. so cute. adores his loud gremlin laugh and will be silly on purpose just to hear it. regularly dotes on him and haemin much to the rest of txt’s dismay—especially beomgyu’s—to which she just shrugs and sends another plushie his way. 1/2 of her sons.. what can she say ? ( kai also happens to be alexei’s favorite, so you know the beef between the twins is real. )
Tumblr media
SONG HAEMIN ( @haezzzn ) 𓄹 if you thought her babying jeongin was bad, it’s leveled up to a thousand when it comes to haemin. like he’s actually her son. that’s her baby. she literally won’t hear otherwise. speaks of him highly to whoever will listen and will pull out pictures like a proud mother. in her eyes, he can literally do no wrong. the rest of the group could cry for all she cares. ( she does care. it’s just. that’s her son ! )

☆ . . . MAKNAE LiNE!
 ❛ KIM SUNOO ❜  ꜝꜞ
Tumblr media
CONTACT NAME. sunny ☀️  ( his : moonie 🌙 )
SHIP NAME. sunoo + sage = sun-sage / sa-noo
RELATIONSHIP. these two are best friends to the very end. their energies matched on i-land and they've been close since then. sunoo's bright personality and sassy demeanor brought sage in and she's been stuck since. sunoo also looks up to teagan in a way that makes him aspire to be better and train harder. these two love to relax and know when to have fun & when to work.
there are so many compilations on youtube that enlights have made of sunoo and sage being the sassy duo they are
Sage and Sunoo were the duo on i-land that constantly side-eyed everything. they were the two that were talking shit funnily enough.
when someone messes up a song vocally? they both looked around the room to see if anyone else noticed, and they ended up locking eyes.  
 these two are also the two who are known for their skinship. they can be seen laying next to each other on the couch and or with sage draped over sunoo's legs or something
sunoo is like sage's best friend and closest confidant
also! because of this only calls sage noona in front of others, because otherwise sage prefers that he doesn't. she just feel like they're close enough to drop the niceties.
sunoo is like sage's younger brother and it's very clear
sage loves to tease him about being a student council member when he was younger, joking that he used to be an “unpaid snitch”.
sunoo is sage's social media manager following her & the group’s public instagram release
he's often seen taking pics of her in bts footage
sunsage aegyo bombs will destroy your heart-
they're so cute together like pls
sunoo can also be seen in sage's vlogs when she's writing music and he'll be on the piano playing the music while she hashes out the lyrics
there was a moment where sage's mom called during a live and sage had stepped out to go the bathroom and sunoo answered the phone and had a whole 20-30 minute convo with her mom until she came back
sage gave sunoo the english names sam/samuel and spencer. it's not his official one, but the members use it affectionately in jokes.
these two are the ones to go to if you have a day off. like fans might see them out in the city visiting popular restaurants and going to spas and posting lots of photos of their adventures together.
sunoo's first thought when sage entered i-land was that she had a strong presence
sage though sunoo looked adorable, and when he did his performance she recognized his talent and potential for growth as an artist.
 ❛ YANG JUNGWON ❜  ꜝꜞ
Tumblr media
CONTACT NAME. leader-nim 😔 ( his : problem child #2 🙃 )
SHIP NAME. jungwon + sage = sage-won
RELATIONSHIP. During I-land Sage was very off-putting, at least visually, and a lot of the guys were scared to approach her. But, Jungwon being his bubbly self came up to her and introduced himself and the two slowly got closer. But if you ask sage, after his introduction she was hooked. The definition of the, “If anyone hurts Jungwon, i’ll kill everyone in here and then myself”.
like i said a little in the hyung line post, sage helps jungwon feel like a kid again post debut
because with him being a maknae and the leader he doesn’t get to act like a maknae a lot and he’s usually unnecessarily stressed
so sage likes to take him out a lot and let him buy things he likes at least once every two weeks, she tried once a week but Jungwon threatened to lock himself in the studio if she didn’t stop buying him things T-T
but regardless— sage LOVES this boy so much, omg.
older sister & younger brother type of dynamic as well as a being the two who share a brain cell a majority of the time
even though Sage is older, she does see him as a leader and respects him as one. 
speaking of leader things, Sage helps him with his leadership responsibilities when she sees that he's overwhelmed with them.
you would think she’d be the only member jungwon is not savage with, but being as one would with their siblings. nothing is off limits with them. 
helps him with school as she does with ni-ki. 
she's jungwon's personal therapist && assistant. she is always there when he needs to rant or just wants to speak with someone without being judged. she’s the member most of them go to for advice or guidance.
these two together = a headache for the rest of enhypen.
when they decide to team up and roast the other members ( + pranks ft. Niki && Jake ) the whole dorm suffers for weeks.
their favorite activities to do together are record dance vlogs, jungwon teaching her some taekwondo, her teaching him some ballet moves and such, etc .....
the contact name is pretty self explanatory, but sage really likes to mess with the boy and he's always ready to bully her right back
 ❛ NISHIMURA RIKI ❜  ꜝꜞ
Tumblr media
CONTACT NAME. RIKI 🕺( his : TIKI 💥 )
SHIP NAME. sage + niki = sa-ki 
RELATIONSHIP. during i-land, sage was one of the few who could speak japanese so she decided to help him feel more at ease. these two share a love of dance and a desire to live their idol dreams. niki makes sage feel like she’s just back home with a friend, and he grounds her in a way the others can’t.
sage was one of the few who could speak japanese so, with her whole motto of “do no harm, take no shit” and seeing ni-ki’s skill in dancing and general potential she decided to help him out and make him feel more at ease
she was the one who approached him so he was surprised. especially, because at that point she hadn’t been too friendly with anyone yet.
current time—  teagan doesn't baby him, even if she sees him as her little brother.
she knows he just wants to be respected for his skill and prove he deserves to be where he is ( which he has and continues to do, but sometimes he just needs more reassurance ) and sometimes the teasing can make him question
so she’s become very aware of how he reacts and telling when he’s in the mood for jokes or not
sage affectionately called him "tiki taki" and that kinda started the joke/nicknames between them and the meaning behind their contact names
dance vlogs / practice vlogs on sage's account
ni-ki is the only one from the maknae line who gets away with calling sage noona ( w/ the exception of jungwon but he doesn’t really “get away with it” )
the two of them like to watch japanese movies/shows together, practicing together, pranks!!, playing soccer, playing video games, working out together, etc....
though sage is not super big on working out, as much as she used to anyhow, she does like to do some exercise with ni-ki ( + Heesung & Jake ).
sage teaching niki jazz and ballet style dancing.
sage had also forced niki to teach her how to write with her left hand and now she knows how to write with her left hand as well
niki convincing sage to eat sushi for the first time ever
their height difference shift has been insane. on i-land it wasn't too bad, but following their debut it only got worse.
even though the girl now looks up to niki ( literally ) she still doesn't let that intimidate her. many of the boys joke that one day they're gonna see sage kicking niki in the shins just so they'll be eye level.
they like to go to the arcade on free days ( and the rest of the maknae line usually tags along but they usually group off ).
