He'd usually be sitting on a perch, looking bored, jaded and done with life. More often than not, he'd have a smoldering cigarette between his fingers and translucent mauve shadows beneath his large, moody eyes. Electric red hair with a brutal black undercut. Black helix piercings along his cartilage and seething tattoos on his pale forearms—

Date: 2015-10-19 01:09 am (UTC)anyways the main reason I came back was bc I totally had more to say but obviously my brain wasn't working too well last night but I wanted to say that my favorite scene! was the bit where kyungsoo scampers off to a corner to gather mathilde & her remaining soil into a bowl LIKE!!!!!!! (man I'm typing this on my iPad and autocorrect is messing with my /flow/ man) kyungsoo knew how precious mathilde was to jongin, even though jongin never made a big deal out of it but kyungsoo knew it was a big part of jongin, so even though it didn't really matter, it wasn't life or death, but kyungsoo crawled over there to do what little he could. and like, just that image was devastatingly beautiful. it was like kyungsoo was trying to keep jongin together, keep his memories together, keep his past together because that's what makes jongin jongin, y'know?
but yes! that's all I came back to say lol (that was nervous laughter ha)

Date: 2015-10-19 07:51 am (UTC)YES! That is one of my favorite scenes - the one where Soo gathers together the remains of the pot plant. Mathilde is, in many ways, a symbol of Jongin's soul - the only fragment he ever allowed himself to nurture. So it is both his soul and an emblem of his love for his sister and his parents. Kyungsoo (and Jongin himself probably) may not know any of this specifically, but he knows instinctively, that this plant means everything to Jongin. And he knows he has to keep it safe. And sorry for rambling omgggggg
Thank you ;;;;
