This month, celebrating my 5th anniversary of shipping KhunBam/BamKhun, I will redraw some of my old KB/BK fanarts š«¶
This one is from 2020!
Life feels so surreal right now. I'll open up my browser to do work and see the most insane, abhorrent, disgusting headline ever...but I've got a Calc midterm so I open my bookmark and start studying
One thing I find hilarious in Tower of God is that our first real look at Zahard and V are so vastly different. They're both images from when they were younger (Zahard via his data doppelganger in s2e284 and V from Traumerei's flashback in s3e213). But like, this is their first full reveal side by side.
I know other images of Zahard do have him looking a lot better than this initial one, but like V's initial image is literally a thirst trap. Like, I'm ace, and even I can get why Arlene would be more attracted to V than Zahard. That race was kinda finished before it started if you get what I mean.
On another note, was it really necessary for that to be our first look at Baamās father, SIU? Was it really?
huhmmm unfinished wip because I was gonna scrap it but twitter gave me confidence
Went to my first protest and my first rave this week
NOO COME BACK WHERE ARE U GOINGš WHY DO THEY ALWAYS DO THISššš
Very intrigued as to where this novel is going cause I do not currently see how they would work out, Lu Feng is catching feelings but An Zhe is still very much not human and only half trusts Lu Feng not to shoot him
Loving the internal conflict of An Zhe feeling safe with Lu Feng but also knowing that should he ever be exposed, as far as he knows rn, Lu Feng would shoot him on sight tho
WHEN WAS SOMEONE GOING TO TELL ME THERE'S AN OFFICIAL TOG COLORING BOOK??!?!!???? I WANT IT SO BAD BUT I DONT HAVE ANY MONEYš
Everytime i listen to Irregular God and think about Bam I get chills. It fits so well I know iāve talked abt this so so so many times BUT GOD ITS SO FITTING FOR HIM
I CANT STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW WELL IT WORKS FOR HIM
Its so tragic and yet the chorus that sounds like people worshipping him BUT HEāS A CHILD AND ONE WHO HAS NO IDEA WHATS GOING ON
And I think about Bam now and god I get so emotional remembering where he started and how different he is now. Heās found confidence in himself but its in some part arrogance, ARROGANCE THAT HE DID NOT HAVE at the start of the series and that gets me in my feels that he did not HAVE that in him until FUG. Heās snarky and more confident about fighting, even ready to sacrifice lives to win, which he definitely couldnāt fathom becoming okay with when he started climbing. White whom he loathed ends up being right, that Bam WILL learn to burn souls, something Bam fought White over and Bam is forced to make his peace w that. The hug w Khun and Bam was so pivotal also that reassurance that Bam is still a good person even if he does things he wishes heād never have to, all of that are little bits of him that hasnāt changed since FUG.
You see how even now, he doesnt want the casualties, he sees the families tearing each other apart and he doesnāt understand it, he doesnāt want it
And it adds so much weight to Hwaryun actually, the degree to which Bam has changed. All the experiences that Hwaryun guided him to, changed him and she actually is painfully aware of it. If i remember right sheās the one who tells Wangnan that its not fair that someone who so clearly was not meant to be who Bam is now was given a destiny that is this gorey. No one else pushes Bam down this road as brutally as she does, and she knows it. That scene of her giving Bam the choice, the first time she makes it clear and obvious that it truly is his choice did SO MUCH for her character and omg how did me gushing about Irregular God turn into Bam and Hwaryun analysis
I think people who have read this focus too much on the mpreg. The mpreg is barely there. What we should focus on instead is the āthere was only one bedā trope. It happens all the time in this series, but only with these two because they never even consider other options, like the couch. Itās not even that they have to share a room in the first place either, they just keep offering to.
Actually, at that point, does it even count as āthere was only one bedā?
