OMG now THAT'S a plot twists! I'm shooked! Omg the story is storying and I'm so happy and so excited, oh i live it and i love reading tje theories everyone has
I believe that they all started the game together but something went wrong, Doha probably went mad or violent, maybe he always was and the others deemed him as dangerous and removed his tape so he lost his memories as a player but along that situation, maybe sub teams evolved where people split up because of different opinions or goals and removed each other's tapes so they could wjn and now they all have been stuck in here for so long and with losing and getting the player memories back, actually lost the point or like the actual goal which leads them to have that never ending game but working all together is actually the point
And now this orange haired character (forgot the name) is probably the last one to actually remember most of it?? Like he says Pi bada is his best friend so they have played together AND know each other
Well I could theorise about the lore even longer but long story short I am veery excited to see where this leads to

Procrastinating writing my Bachelor thesis by ugly crying about these beautiful people.....
This is so beautiful and so sweet and so real!... it hit in a lot of spots that make me sobbing so much its unreal..

Mmmmhhhh the thesis is thesing somewhere there is some progress so we might get something. I'm fighting the procrastination
I'm studying library science so in a few words we involve ourselves with the information, how to catalogue it and how to we make it accessible, not just libraries and my subject is what does the concept of creating a queer Database need, so queer scientific literature becomes more accessible and visible to the public?
It came to me while I was in my 6th semester and doing some research for another subject that there is no database where you can find queer literature in no one place all together, especially scientific one. And then also the metadata standards (the data of the data) and tags weren't inclusive enough for the reaaaally wide spectrum of lgbtq and queer in general. They would have an article about let's say non binary people and they wouldn't have it catalogued auder that tag or subject, probably just under queer or in the best case trans, but still not "correct" and so it is not really easily accessible or visible and so people who do research in gender studies, lgbtq and so on, have actually a hard time finding scientific literature because of this reason.
I come from Europe so rn we have actually not a really good access in some databases and the few good ones, they are still not inclusive enough or the subject is so specific that of course there is not enough literature. Then there is databases that you can access only through specific institutions so again another roadblock for the ones that aren't part of this institution. And this is worldwide.a lot of international databases have that problem. Then there are ones behind pay walls and they are soooooo expensive, like 4k expensive of course you cannot pay that. And again the inclusive cataloguing matter and accessible tags is always there. Then again the community itself has done A LOT to make articles, books etc. accessible and they have really good tags, because no one does it better than the community but they are "looked down" upon the scientific world sometimes because they are not "official" enough let's say or properly catalogued like in an actual library database. But they are doing a good job
So I want to look what the community does, what the science world does, what is the state of research at the moment from literature that I have found, although I am ALSO in the problem of i cannot find enough literature because it is not really researched or accessible for me, and then compre, reflect them and make a small prototype
That's it more or less simply said and because I'm also having some difficulties with finding sources and because this subject is very important to me personally but also because it is important for everyone else, I'm kinda afraid of doing something wrong or not being perfect enough or if I'm not good enough to bring the subject to light
So I'm on my millionth panic moment for this week only XD
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE ME CRY LIKE THIS!!!
Having lost a grandparent who had Alzheimer and Parkinson, who did forget stuff but always tried to remember us, especially by writing in their calendar about us and what we did, what we liked and tried to remember by reading those diary entries, this chapter hut way tooo close to home and now I'm a sobbing mess trying not to wake other up....
Also THIS CHAPTER (actually the whole damn manhawa) is so refreshing and so actually fleshed out with how people react, ask, talk, think and forgive. It was so nice seeing how in the previous chapter, haebeom and Ho talked about the situation with the girl and how they felt about it and about each other and in this chapter how both sincerely talked with the girl and didn't just brush her off. I also loved how ho said, I'm not saying my story to compete with you but to show you that not matter what has happened, now I am happy, hinting imo that she too doesn't need to think that because what has happened will finite shape her path like that and that she around her has great people who do love her and that she can be happy too, even if it isn't you cookie cutter happiness
And yes maybe as readers we didn't really understand her, her situation in comparison to our couple when she brought it up or why she reacted like that but unfortunately as someone who is queer and works with mostly teenagers and discusses about what lgbtq means and other queer subjects, those responses, exactly like hers, with you cannot be happy like that because that isn't normal, come way more often than you would think off. And sure, most of the times is because people are assholes and are not accepting because they are bitter and have birdseeds for brains but others say that not because of malice but because they care but don't know any better and because our society has hammered us that "normal" is best and outside of that box, you really can't be happy. So they worry and don't want to see close friends, beloved ones suffer so they say stuff like that or sometimes themselves are overwhelmed because they might be in a similar situation because that's unfortunately what they only know. Of course their words are actually rather hurtful sometimes and that is not okay by any means but, reacting with patience and understanding and actually explaining when the other person of course wants to listen, because communication needs both sides, then you can start to actually question that "normal" and find out how to apologise, ask and support your loved ones.
And so, just like her, she never did anything out of malice, or hate towards them. Even in this chapter after she said last time I won't support you, when ho came to her she didn't hate him loudly or pushed him away, sure she was awkward but there was no hate there, she only didn't know and again, everything she did, even if NOT RIGHT, she did it out of worry for someone she cares because she herself has that societal idea that she can't be happy without a nuclear family. But both ho, talked to her patiently and openly and told her that he is happy and even beom later was kind to her after her apology and didn't push her because yes she didn't know better and that wasn't right but she is trying to change and does apologise.
I absolutely love how this author does handle this and how they portrayed this scene, both the discussion between the couple and her but also her and her grandma and how by becoming blinded by those norms, by having maybe also that tunnel vision, and don't forget, what she also went through it's for HER painful and maybe even traumatic and at those moments you can't really see around you except the bad so seeing how she found that light again, how even her grandma who forgets many things now, how much she actually remembers her, even in her own way, that is, for me, rather healing and showing that we many times forget the good stuff around us.
I could analyse this for even longer, I don't even know if I can even post something this long XD I don't even think anyone will read this whole as long essay about fictional characters i wrote at midnight but this was nice, this was very nice and I am crying. This week with arcane and all, everything just makes me cry
