I am actually tweaking tf out. I know season 3 about to be so good cause I feel that there is some insane foreshadowing that I havent picked up on that’s going to be expanded on in Season 3 ugh
Holy fucking shit I expected a lot but not this much. Oh my god, the fact they were acting as NPC’s this whole time. It’s all adding up but wow this is the toughest shit to swallow. I think we all had a hunch about Bada being an NPC, but how and why it happened just makes everything feel so… heartless. Bada’s humanity was fabricated and exploited.
Damn so we about to know the full backstory, but I’m still curious about the who the killer is and why the people in the nearby town are hostile towards them.
Wet Sand always knows how to put me in a melancholic mood. Ian’s character means so much to me, mostly because in some way, I can relate to him.
He has always been overshadowed and misunderstood due to his sexual nature and the BL storyline, but really, he’s such a tragically beautiful character in the sense that despite the lack of power over his life, Ian still lives for himself, and yearns for his own truth. Everything has been dictated by his circumstances. The struggle for autonomy has been a present theme in Ian’s character and TJ is in the flesh (symbolic), an inner reflection of his struggle to realizing his individuality. To live for himself and his wants. TJ in a sense is the “consciousness,” the objective or reality, better said the environment which shaped Ian. He is representative of the reality which Ian lacks control within. TJ quite literally looms over Ian like something inevitable, shaping Ian’s life, and he is Ian’s circumstances.
While Jo is the “unconscious,” the desire; being in control. Jo has always been representative and of what Ian wants: a normal, mundane life. But Jo is also Ian realizing himself and his identity outside of his circumstances. Jo who yearns for Ian, and chases after him, is symbolic of Ian’s need of finding himself.
Hmm looking at the new creators notes, I’d like to point out something interesting. Bada does computer engineering, is this in the video game context or the real world context? If it’s in the real world context, there is a possibility Bada could be the developer of the game. I mean come on, they mention how Bada weirdly understands everything about the game even though he was an “NPC,” not only that Bada is really into horror. Wouldn’t it make sense that he had a part in developing the game?
Now, if it’s in the video game context. Are these actually real people? Is there even a world outside of the game where they are real people? I think it’s so odd how we have never gotten any reassurance there’s anything outside of the game or how Bada has never questioned the mechanics behind how he is playing it in-first person like virtual reality.
