I've Tweeted About The Same Thing Before, But I'm Posting It Again Because It's So Important To Me.

You have a name.

About me and this blog

I'm not big on introducing myself, to be honest. But as I'm getting the hang of Tumblr, I thought I'd share a little something about myself and what this blog is all about. So, here's a quick rundown.

Ara : 25 / INTJ

(I'm not really into sharing my personality type, but I figured it's easier to show it rather than trying to explain it with words.)

English / 한국어 / 日本語

I mostly talk about Naoki Urasawa's 'Monster' on this blog, but I can also randomly ramble about other stuff. Sometimes, you might stumble upon personal posts.

I'll go all out for what I love. Writing oneshots and analysis, drawing pictures, making videos, editing images, taking photos, sharing playlists, creating AI character bots, and doing translations. These days, my focus is mostly on making videos. Of course, I'm not one to rush things. I go through a lot of reviewing and contemplating before posting, so it might take a while before you see everything I'm working on.

I primarily use English on this blog. But I can switch to Japanese or Korean when necessary. When it comes to meaningless self-talk and sharing my translation work, I often switch to languages other than English.

Favorite character and OTP: Heinrich Lunge (Runge) & Grunge (Grimmer/Lunge)

I only take video requests at the moment. If you have a video idea you'd like me to work on, feel free to reach out to me in whichever way works best for you.

PLUTO EDIT

This video was made around July this year. Since the main animation hadn't been released yet, the materials used were a bit limited, but personally, it's one of the videos I'm pretty happy with.

Grunge

There is one thing that surprises me whenever I think of Grimmer and Lunge. Both share the same problem of a lack of humanity (especially emotion). However, the way in which these two people are free from problems is completely opposite.

To put it simply, Grimmer should be remembered, but Lunge should be forgotten. I believe that true growth for Lunge starts with stopping the compulsive hoarding of data.

If Grimmer had survived, he would have sincerely told Lunge that he didn't have to remember so obsessively and desperately. And that would have been the first piece of advice that Lunge heard about his own way of remembering.

Grimmer would have been genuinely concerned about him and perhaps stopped his typing-obsessed fingers.

(We already know that Gillen pointed out Lunge's memory method. However, this is close to a strategic attack on Lunge's blind spots.)

it was supposed to be a fanart for great fic (I'm sure you've all read it), but, uhh, I guess I haven't grown up to complete and cool art yet

HOPE YOU'LL LIKE IT THO!!!

I'm finally dropping the video I made back in September last year. I mashed up two totally unrelated movies into one creation. These flicks are my all-time faves. Surprisingly, the main characters have so much in common that I couldn't resist blending them together and imagining what it'd be like if they shared the screen.

Movies featured in this video: Violent Cop (1989) directed by Takeshi Kitano

Cure (1997) directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa

Soundtrack vibes: "Broken Machine" by Nothing But Thieves

And below is an imaginary poster I made.

MONSTER EDIT

Chapter 72 Man Without A Name (Evangelion trailer-style)

Here's the 4K modified version. I leveled up the quality, nailed the font, threw in some extra scenes, and spiced up the effects. I didn't intend to work so hard on editing this video, but editing the effect was essential to explain the scene below...

+) One hidden metaphor:

The red mist through this scene is actually the bloodstains left behind by Grimmer on the walls. Despite Grimmer's own life being laden with regrets (hinted by the glimpse of Kinderheim 511's facility + bloodstains), the instant he encounters Runge, his life transforms into something that everyone else would yearn for, full of envy.
