@Tsundererra: If hello my twenties is the newer generation then I'm in it. And abuse is not something these young women feel they have to endure. It's not that simple. I had an abusive boyfriend in high school who I was with for 3 years. My best friend's husband is currently abusive. It's this idea, that a man can be changed if you just love them. And maybe they are also hitting you because they love you, and they don't want you to leave. They'd scared if you just assure them enough. And Kdramas aren't the only media to idealize unhealthy relationships. Beauty and the beast is a kidnapped teenager suffering from Stockholm's syndrome. She literally turns a monster into a man by loving him. And this is something children watch every day. Twilight, where Edward shows he can control his strength if he wants to, but he ends up hurting Bella anyways. He abandons her, stalks her, isolates her from friends and family. It's classic grooming dressed up as romance. And don't even get me started on 50 shades of gray. I've read the books. It's a very sick and unhealthy relationship there, and that's just baseline relationship behaviors.
My thing is, media pushes an idea. It can seem harmless if you know what is and isn't healthy. But my point is more, it's not a generational issue. It's an issue of a lesson taught over time. And that's something that will continue to affect kids until it's truly addressed.
Yes, Full-time duel major for psychology and studio art. I'm going to do some social work up hither in the north. xD
I hope so. I loved reading and writing as a kid but I don't know when it started to become this haze. Can't visualize or get lost in anything anymore. I try over and over to get into RPs and really get as absorbed as i used to be, but I dunno. I guess some things just change and become fond memories. Who knows. xD
NP! I l am right in the middle of that one, I hope it doesn't all flat like some of his shorts do. I want a truly chilling ending!

@Tsundererra: It's so strange, isn't it! Like, if a woman talks badly to another woman how accepted it is to just haul off and slap them? And wow, that in and of itself is telling. The issue with this subject is that they are telling men that their bad behavior is acceptable. And women are told if they endure that, they will be loved and treasured by this man. It's a really toxic subliminal message, but there's nothing you can do to change another people's mindset on that part of their culture. It's something people have to slowly come to themselves.
Regardless i love kdramas, and i indulge. But I think it's different for older people because we know what is and isn't healthy. It's more toxic to those in preteen/teen years who are still heavily impressionable.
xD I'm the same. I will procrastinate until my life depends upon me getting shit done, and then I'm allll over it. That has to stop before university starts this fall!
It does have an odd like... Feel to it. For me lately, the problem with reading is my brain can't seem to dive in as easily as i used to. I can read the words, but my mind gets fuzzy and it's just a sort of mechanical thing. I think this started when i had to read super terrible literature in english class and i made myself not dive too deep because I was horribly bored and it became a habit. Coping skill turned permanent thing. Even if i turn on some peter gundry for ambiance.
YES! The nameless city is one of my favorites!

@Tsundererra: They lure us in by promoting this fairytale wherein the impossible situation of changing a person by being better than them is possible. And it's not. I kinda wonder what the stats for domestic abuse is in some of these places because of this sort of media portrayal.
That's exactly what I was talking about actually! xD GIANT INFLATABLE HAMSTER BALL!
I actually have the Cthulu Mythos Tales. Has a myriad of his shorts. I love the way he writer. Poetic without reaching purple prose. It's what I strive for in my own writing. xD so nice to read even if i don't understand what he's describing sometimes.

@Tsundererra: BoF, no matter the context, will always be the epitome of romanticizing an unhealthy relationship. xD It's funny because that same show is what got me into kdramas. RRRIIIPPPP
Video is not available in my country. T-T But yeah, he seemed to spend more time goofing about than actually writing. But I assume he thinks since the show writers are writing his story, why should he? xD
I haven't started them yet. My brother is letting me borrow his copy of the first book so soon. After I finish my HP lovecraft collection.

@Tsundererra: I haven't seen either yet. xD But i had this issue with boys over flowers. This male lead was HORRIBLe and granted the second male lead was kinda, eh... At some point he showed how sweet he was and was supportive to her and ugh... But boys over flowers was never my favroite anyways.
There is not a damn thing, pardon my french, rushed about G. R. R. M. This man is in a human sized inflatable hamster wheel bopping about and not even bothering to write. xD Someone needs to light a fire under his bum and tell him to get to work. I'm impatient. I want the real ending. [and i'm actually reading the books too because there is apparently a lot of left out details in the TV show.]

@Tsundererra: Villain who tricks people into thinking she's cute and harmless then strikes at the most opportune moment.

@Tsundererra: I like that to a point. Some of the cold-hearted rich males get borderline abusive and I am not with it. xD Especially with how the women were just like 'he was right though.' it's so annoying like, even if they are don't let them treat you like some kind of street garbage! D= But most are ok. I just hate that the second male lead for the love triangles is such an amazing person for them to be with but it's like, they don't see them? Makes me agitated.
I hope to gawd if it is rewritten, that they get some writers who aren't lazy messes. xD Like G.R.R.M can't possibly think that is a good ending? hopefully he will write it differently or force them to make it worth it after all the backlash.

@Tsundererra: Okay, to be honest, it initially confused me. So I will say, in watching the first epi if you decide to, understand what looks real initially can't be TRUSTEDDD! That's all I will say. ^w^ And trust me, it happens it's just not entirely the typical soft-spoken pushover Korean girl who is broke with the rich guy. It's still got that fairytale bit to it, but it's much more realistic if that makes any sense? Yeah it seems like there'd be no romance, but there is.
Eugh. I refuse to watch it. No views from me until they refilm, if they will. xD There's like a big petition out there for that. Mistakes of lazy writers, I guess.
