19, she/her

au idea?!

ok so kpop demons hunters

stay with me

human manager to the saja boys.

like the mc is down on their luck being denied from the agency. Even puts up a ad on Craigslist….

The saja boys need someone to manage cause wouldn’t it be weird a boy band doesn’t have a manager? To talk to the talk show hosts or set up engagement. Mc is so powered up being hired they is blind they are only being used a a placeholder ya know. I think the more they are their manager the more they can reign the boys in IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT.

Either literally having to keep mystery on a leash with his feral ass. OR trying to get Abby to wear actual fitting clothes cause they don’t want any more injuries from buttons being propelled at people…

might actually write something for this I just got the idea in the mf shower😭

(if you watched fall guy it’s like that. The show is basically a crew that does bad underground shit and need a captain to take the fall. So they get the worst captain ever cause they need one for the ship to get through things. The captain try’s his absolute best to be the best captain even though he is being used by others and in the end the crew ngl starts to like him)

Another reason that the Saja Boys being portrayed as a villainous but strong/close knit group of friends would've been neat is that it would go against what Rumi says early in the movie:

Rumi: Feel? You’re a demon. Demons don’t feel anything.

And then, we get to see more of the demon side of things (and not just Jinu's side... which is what I thought the movie was going to do) where the boys all care about each other and FEEL actual positive feelings about each other and support each other and act like real friends just like the main girls of huntrix do. And not just that, but they also support each other through the fact that they are all kind of messed up one way or another (these boys also need backstories, not just Jinu).

Also them paralleling the Huntrix's friendship: friendship forged in a shared sense of suffering vs. friendship forged in a shared sense of duty. And both becoming actual genuine friendships.

Okay but what's really cool is that you can see these artists really studied the performance aspects of Kpop. The way the promo video is filmed. The variety shows, the fashion of Huntrix, and especially the performance of Saja Boys (since we saw more of their performance whereas we saw the fighting aspect more for huntrix). I mean they really really nailed the performance aspect.

Like in soda pop; the debut was refreshing fresh and charming therefore the gazes were softer—the part where Abs guy brings down his collar for a second for the "refreshing" part of the lyrics— that would actually be a well thought out choreography in real life (reminscent of Txt, Tws, BND, NCT dream, Riize, and Pentagon in their early days).

And then their second song—Your Idol—was darker and therefore their gazes changed (hungrier and sensous) and their moves were sharper (with literal claws). Kpop HAS that duality in gaze. And especially when the rapper (Baby Saja?) brings his claws down his face for the "fame made me viral" part? Adlib definitely (reminscent of Ateez, Enhypen, Monsta X, Stray Kids, Seventeen, The boyz, Onlyoneof, Pentagon, Exo, NCT and Big Bang—especially in the rap aspects—and Got7). THEY REALLY NAILED IT.

TELL ME HOW AI CAN REPLICATE THIS. THAT'S WHY HUMAN ARTISTS WILL ALWAYS BE SUPERIOR

"This film was an incredible opportunity for me. And more than anything, I thought it was an opportunity for me to write a love letter to cinema, to all the things I love about going to the movies. [...] In many ways it's most important movie I've made, straight from me to all of you." - Ryan Coogler

THE LOST BOYS X MONSTER HIGH!!! I like the collab doll they did do, but I think these boys would've made perfectly ghoulish Mansters on their own! I loved translating things like Marko's jacket into what I think an MH doll would have, same with some added/moved around accessories! And ofc, WAY more funky shoes lmaoo. Lemme know what y'all think, I might do Michael n Star, maybe even Max!!

gonna ride that face for hours until the PH levels from my kitty melts through bone 😩

I ain’t never heard these words paired together in a sentence WOW LMFAO

i know i shouldnt be suprised but sinners being out for less than a week and already tumblr is fandomifying and 'poor wet pathetic cat'-ifying the main white man villain of the movie is so... disapointing??? like did the fucking point of the movie really go over your heads that badly or are you just willingly ignorant and stupid?

AND BEFORE ANYONE STARTS; im not saying you cant like remmick, he's a very interesting character, a great villain, and jack o'connell gave a great performance playing him, nor do i care if you think hes sexy, I think hes sexy

but i think to come out of a movie where vampires serve as a metaphor for how black american communities have the life sucked out of them by white people via cultural appropriation (remmick wanting to use sammie's gift to summon his own ancestors) and forced assimilation (all the turned vampires singing and dancing along with remmick's irish folk song and dance juxtaposed with the blend of cultures during sammie's song in the juke joint) and for your main take away to be 'aww the main villain is just a misunderstood sadboy' or 'idc abt the atrocities he looked sexy doing them (when the atrocities in question were racism)' then youre just being so disengenuous and antithetical to the whole point of the film?

and dont come at me with the 'let people enjoy things' bullshit, sinners is a movie FUNDAMENTALLY about racism and racial dynamics in the united states, and i do think focusing on your little y/n x [whiteboy of the month] fics and 'hes so babygirl' posts do actually stunt your own critical engagement with the message this movie was trying to convey to its audience

i think its also a disservice to remmick's character; the moral nuance that comes to light when you consider his position as an irish immigrant to the US, a victim of the colonialist british empire just like the black main cast (although in a very different way) and how, whilst his desire to reclaim his ancestry and heritage is understandable and even relatable, his pursuit of sammie and willingness to kill literally everyone else at the juke joint is allegorical for how, regardless of their own marginalisation, white people will prey upon and steal from black culture(s) and destroy/disenfranchise black communities to serve their own interests, and the movie is NOT subtle about this either, delta slim literally lays it out for us "white folks like the blues just fine, they just don't like the people who make them"

idk im yelling into the void here, the ppl im complaining about are never going to give a shit about racism or even just critically engaging with art when theres a new cute whiteboy to write fluff and angst about, but its just soooo annoying to see, yet again, how fandom spaces, which SHOULD be about uplifing and celebrating art in all its diversity and complexity, once again is nothing more than people ignoring anything that actually makes them have to confront reality and filing off the serial numbers to slot characters into pre-determined fanon molds so they can pump out incorrect quotes and coffee shop AUs en masse until the media iliterate heat death of the universe

I always need to do this kind of messy sketches to familiarize myself with new characters (the word dump is especially important!)

you can see how much fun i had doodling these lmao

it really frustrates me to think about how people are inevitably going to take Remmick’s one (1) singular statement about how much he resents the way the Irish were colonized and forcibly converted to Christianity and use it as fuel for “actually he had a point” and “he was right actually” and “he’s not really the villain here” posts, when the whole point is that Remmick is, through the vampiric hive mind he’s creating, forcibly assimilating people into yet another manipulative and parasitical system. he doesn't value the cultures of the people he assimilates—notice how all the vampires he turns dance to his culture's music using his culture's dances, and how he only uses the languages or knowledge other vampires have to offer when he needs to manipulate someone. Remmick is extremely transparent about the way he sees the people he turns as resources to exploit.

he’s perpetuating a cycle that he claims to hate and resent, and I think the movie is pretty damn clear about the fact that he doesn’t see anybody as valuable or useful to him except as prey and as pawns—otherwise he would just, you know, focus solely on people who actually consent to being turned. but he looked sad in that one scene and he’s an apparently attractive white cis man so people are gonna bend over backwards justifying all the harm he did.

HELP????

HE SAID “HELP”?!

ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT HE SAID “NO” OR GOD FORBID LET A MAN SCREAM IN PAIN AS HE WAS KILLED.

BUT “HELP”?????

WAS HE CALLING OUT FOR HIS PACK? MARKO, PAUL AND DWAYNE? ONLY TO REALISE THEY’RE GONE? AND HE GAVE UP?

IM NOT OKAY????

I’VE LITERALLY NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE WHAT????

Sinners Remmick Rant

I found a solution to my dilemma with the last post. And after just a few weeks of reading different sides of this fandom. I retract my statement completely. “Well Remmick is one of the only characters lacking an active love interest. And I love how the other couple pairings were written.” As a result, I’ve been reading Remmick fics mainly but hell, how could anyone resist this gorgeous cast, I’ve been reading about EVERYBODY. Until about two weeks ago, it somehow wasn’t clicking while reading solo fics we could have BOTH. Forget one partner, I need more Sinners content with a reader AND THE COUPLE, not just one, I NEED THEM BOTH. THIS CAST WAS TOO FINE TO LEAVE PEOPLE OUT. I VOLUNTEER… as a third.

Remmick is probably the main character to have dominated the fandoms writing pieces which you all have done amazingly writing the blanks of a thousands of years old vampires backstory. I’ve seen many fics where Remmick only seduced the reader to get to Sammie, I love y’all, I keep going back. He is a VILLAIN. Colonized to colonizer. I love love LOVE fics who make him an evil love interest.

HOWEVER, I’ve had my fill of his fics in just a few weeks. Certain Remmick writers… I don’t know whether we need to have a chat or I’ll just ignore that specific group of writers.

Disrespectfully— I will be quoting one writers story. But I’ve seen many other Remmick writers who I have to set down my phone and wonder what went through their heads. Be honest.. in what world, do you look in the mirror and nod to yourself as you’re writing about a white reader with a racist plantation owning father? I beg that we don’t do this to a Black original film from Ryan Coogler where he spent multiple years TEACHING HIMSELF about historical accuracy and culture. Hell, I’m thankful that didn’t turn into a forbidden racial love story with any other characters. Yet writing a sinners!reader in a racist environment and then pairing the reader with Remmick? You’re playing in everyone’s faces.

I already noticed an obvious lack of fics with our actors and actresses of color in this film. Despite how big this movie has got for having an original fire storyline and hot talented cast.

—but why do we need to deal with this?

Yes, he’s an attractive evil character. But we ok have attractive morally good aligning characters that have been ignored. And now the one film celebrating Black culture in an important part of history… is being used for all the wrong reasons? Hello??
