What was interesting to me as a parent was watching how in episode 4 we see the father mirroring Jamie's behaviour in episode 3. It's in so many subtle and more obvious ways.
The way that hour of t.v. in episode 4 is slow so that we can steadily watch the father and watch how closely his wife monitors his emotions so that she can step in to regulate them for him. She pushes her emotions aside to monitor his because his potential to blow up and get violent verbally or physically is potentially dangerous for her and her daughter.
Jamie switches from screaming to apologising in episode 3. Then we see the father apologise in episode 4 for spilling the water from the bucket after blowing up at his wife. He apologises for the wrong things. His son does the same.
His father hasn't shared with his wife what he saw Jamie do on the video and she says he shuts down and doesn't want to talk about it. In the same way Jamie hasn't spoken to any of his family about how he and his friends have been bullied at school - spat on and ridiculed in real life and online.
Episode 4 is so fascinating to me. Watching each person's individual roles in relation to each other in that regular family. Lisa especially monitoring the emotional state of her parents, so that she can intervene to soothe them or distract them to calm them down. She does the same with Jamie on the phone and still claiming Jamie as theirs. The parents think they've raised their kids the same. But they themselves have gendered roles in the family. The kids have mirrored their mother and father respectively.
*skips tutorial* how the fuck do you play this game
We don’t talk enough about the fact the hyuntak was ready to go in for baku before sieun got there in ep8. He stepped forward, limping on his bad knee, fully prepared to face baekjin knowing he couldn’t win
hi everyone! just delivering a short message here~ yes it is crucial for us to lend a hand to help those in need in palestine, but the amount of people taking advantage of their situations is unfortunately abundant. therefore, i will only be reblogging and helping to share posts and stories that have been vetted. this is done in order to help those who are actually in need of urgent aid, and to avoid those heartless scammers who are trying to bag money from sincere donators in the name of the genocide. free palestine, and keep on donating𑁋or reblogging and sharing to other platforms if you cannot!

help Raneen’s family by donating to their gofundme ( https://gofund.me/a4be45a0 ) and sharing their story.
they’ve been displaced from their homes, which are now in ruins. their hometowns are now destroyed and they’re still fighting.
click daily, visit more gofundme websites and donations, share their story, do what you can to save the people of Palestine.
to spread the word — @yeokii @urszn @haknom @bywons @hoonvrs @atrirose @hanniluvi @flwoie @jaeminvore @100203s @soov @yenqa @kynrki @isoobie @wvnkoi @wonieleles @vlaeaex @flwrstqr @fleurre @filmofhybe @star-ism @won4kiss @w3bqrl
As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.
It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.
Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

shoulder
jiwoong likes to place loving kisses on your shoulders
often in the morning, he finds you in the kitchen gathering ingredients to make breakfast for the both of you
will walk up behind you, gently places his hands at the tops of your arms to make you aware he is there
lowers his head so he can place a soft kiss on the curve of your shoulder
often rests his lips on your skin for a minute closes his eyes and soaks in your company
after he disconnects his lips he wraps his arms fully around you
fingers
jiwoong is not afraid of PDA, however as the oldest hyung he doesn’t like to go overboard when others are around
always holds your hold when you two are walking outside, side by side with your fingers intertwined
when you have to stop at a crossing or are waiting in line, he will bring your still intertwined hands to his lips and kiss the back of your hand gently
just to make you even more flustered, he likes to look at you while doing so. bonus for him if his small action turns your cheeks a shade of pink

maybe it's just me projecting because they're my favourite pairs from the show but there are just too many similarities to brush it off as coincidence!!
1. soulmates to the grave: suho & sieun. baku & gotak. suho & sieun are each other's best friends & soulmates. baku & gotak are the same for each other. they protect each other, they bicker, they laugh together. baku sleeps at gotak's place when he has a fight with his dad.
2. guardian angels: suho has always been the protector. baku is the protector of the whole school. they’re both the unspoken shields of their best friends, always showing up when things go sideways.
3. crippling guilt: sieun’s greatest wound is suho getting hurt because of him. and baku's greatest wound is gotak getting hurt because of him. they both carry the unbearable weight of believing it’s their fault. even if it wasn't.
4. the obsessive third wheels: beomseok's fixation on suho. baekjin’s twisted obsession with baku. they're the reasons suho & gotak actually got hurt.
5. the combat athletes: suho the boxer. gotak the taekwondo prodigy. both reduced to tragedy after a fight. suho ends up in a coma. gotak is forced to quit his taekwondo career.
6. they don’t want to fight—but they will: suho and baku both hate violence. suho's always asking people to stop when the fights get too serious. and baku has a no-fighting policy for eunjang. but when it’s for their friends? they will. suho's calm shatters. baku’s restraint burns. and they fight.
7. crossing the line for love: suho breaking youngbin’s hand because he hurt sieun’s. baku almost choking someone to death with his bare hands because they laid a finger on gotak. when it's them getting hurt, suho & baku — who never the cross the line — actually end up crossing the line.
8. "he only exists for him": jihoon saying “gotak exists because baku exists.” the director saying “suho solely exists for sieun.”
9. their weaknesses: baekjin uses gotak to manipulate baku into joining the union & threatening to harm suho to torment sieun. everyone knows where the soft spot is.
10. the colors say it all: suho & baku often seen wearing red. sieun & gotak usually in greys & blues.
so like, please get on the bakugotak agenda, because they're literally suhosieun adjacent.
we don't talk enough about the time annabeth called percy a wild animal.
love that the song that goes “you with the dark curls, you with the watercolor eyes” applies to Percy and Annabeth for both the books and the show
not even 24 hours after a 401 day tour, belift are announcing another tour? do they understand how crazy this is? those boys are being worked to the bone and soon enough their health - both physical and mental - is going to decline and then it's not just going to be 'oh jay ill sit out two shows' or 'jake just had to take skip two songs', it's going to end up with them being so overworked that they'll take hiatus' that last months, the members will lose their love for their job, and the entire situation is going to get out of control.
jay has an injury that is already serious but imagine the damage that could be made from all the shows of a new tour? plus all the added schedules ontop of that? ni-ki spoke about how exhausted he was during the tour and that can only lead to further sickness or being mentally and emotionally drained. even if you did go to he concert, could you actually enjoy yourself knowing that they're suffering????
i am begging you all to boycott this tour, i've seen it happen before when fans boycotted mamamoo's tour and it got postponed and the company listened to the concerns. i know it's belift so there is a chance they won't even acknowledge it, but low ticket sales means the promotor and label will most likely cancel which tbh is what we should all want.
enhypen have been working non-stop since debut and i fear it'll only get worse if all of us don't work together on expressing our concerns.
