Someone asked me what home was and all I could think of were the stars on the tip of your tongue, the flowers sprouting from your mouth, the roots entwined in the gaps between your fingers, the ocean echoing inside your ribcage.
if u ever feel like u have really weird and specific and intense obsessions, i think you’d benefit from learning about this book i found in the library today
seems like it’s prob a normal book and weasels are a metaphor for something ? right ? like ? that’s what you’d think ? but no; no, look:
it’s literally about women and weasels. women and weasels throughout history. it’s a long, scholarly book about women interacting with cute furry rodent slinkies throughout history
i love you, maurizio bettini, whomever you may be. you keep doin you.
Traumatized people are often afraid of feeling. It is not so much the perpetrators (who, hopefully, are no longer around to hurt them) but their own physical sensations that now are the enemy. Apprehension about being hijacked by uncomfortable sensations keeps the body frozen and the mind shut. Even though the trauma is a thing of the past, the emotional brain keeps generating sensations that make the sufferer feel scared and helpless. It’s not surprising that so many trauma survivors are compulsive eaters and drinkers, fear making love, and avoid many social activities: Their sensory world is largely off limits.

Another sister-brother relationship in the cluster
While Will and Kala have more of calm, mature, grown up vibe; the dynamic between Sun and Lito is – small big-sister taking care of big little-brother
Sun is a fighter; Lito is not
Lito is good at lying; Sun is not
Lito is very dramatic; Sun is not
Sun doesn’t let out her emotions; Lito does
Lito can tend bar; Sun cannot
These characteristics prove how different they are, but at the same how much they need each other
Their dynamic is mostly Lito being dramatic and Sun reacting with ignorance which is funny and adorable – but we still can see that their relationship is based on genuine affection for each other
And I enjoyed seeing this balance between two characters a lot
Favorite moments in season 2 (spoilers)
2×07 I Have No Room In My Heart For Hate
Sun: I think I’m more confused than I was before.
Lito: There’s no easy answer, Sun. Whatever you decide to do…just know that you won’t have to do it alone.
– I LOVE this scene, just by seeing the whole cluster being by her side and supporting Sun. I thought putting Lito as last person to talk was great idea because he’s the first one to feel that kind of support from the cluster in 2×05 (*raise glass* to courage!)
– Also in 2×06, Lito shows his true-self to the world for the first time. Like what he says during his speech; he’s both scared and proud. He knows the weight of his decision, of his courage…and the risk that might follow; he knows how hard it is to make that decision. Still he knows everything will be fine because he’s not alone. So it was great to see Lito speaking based on his experience with such sincerity
– Who does not love this scene. This is why we love this pair, isn’t it? Lito being such a drama queen and Sun is being ‘ugh, here we go again. I’m so done with it’. We can literally read her mind by just looking at her face; Sun might be thinking ‘I already have a brother who’s been pain the ass for my whole life. The last thing I need is another pain-in-the-ass-brother from across the world’
– I can literally talk about this scene for ever and ever. I never get tired of these two. Another eye roll from Sun, but I thought Sun’s expression was not entirely being annoyed by Lito. It seems like although she knows Lito’s problem is probably nothing compared to hers, she has this soft side of hers that cares for Lito
– So she decides to listen to Lito, and then…here goes ‘shut the f-up, brother!’ I bet this was the first time Lito had someone saying ‘shut up’ in his face. Because I don’t any of his agents would have said harsh things to him, and Hernando would never ever say such things to depressed Lito. What a tough love, Sun XD
– But at the end of a day, Sun gives in and lets Lito comfort her. I’ve said in previous post about Kala & Lito [x] that they express out emotion/pain that others in cluster go through. It was really cute yet touching to see Lito comforting his big sister. And even though Sun seems still kinda annoyed by Lito, I’m sure she’s thankful for him 🙂
2×10 If All The World’s A Stage, Identity Is Nothing But A Costume
– I couldn’t get fine screencaps for this scene which was Sun sort of begging Lito to help her with bar tending, and this time it’s Lito who’s saying ‘NOPE, not now’ I loved how Lito tries to ignore Sun’s presence while Sun is desperate (and cute) for his help. On top of that, Sun helping Lito with ACTING? I mean who would have thought this would happen? lol
2×11 You Want A War?
– I don’t know if they did it on purpose, but anyhow, it was both surprising and interesting to see Lito being the first one to stop Sun from trying to kill Joong Ki. Maybe because, as I mentioned earlier, Lito knows the weight of hard decision…or maybe simply he doesn’t want to see Sun suffer after her revenge (although I think Joong Ki deserves painful death)
Whew, that was quite a long post. haha. I hope you guys enjoyed it. And if you have any question or interesting things about Sun and Lito dynamic, please let me know 🙂
