Wouldn't it be cool if there were an Undertale Killing Stalking mashup AU game where you could be Bum and play the whole game as either a victim trying to avoid times when Sangwoo will lash out next and survive (and maybe find a way to escape--not) or as a killer, who joins Sangwoo in killing people. The later would be like genocide route and playing it would be the only way to unlock Sangwoo's full backstory. I think in victim mode you can save the cop, but in killer mode, you have to off him.
It's too much work to make, but it would be fun.
No shut the fuck up, stop trying to do shitty mashups. :U

Hey Lady L (and Fei fans), did you see this? https://68.media.tumblr.com/314ce616b171f513cc9210303d11306d/tumblr_okrnf1ViVP1rxyjd2o1_1280.jpg
I saw it on Tumblr and thought of you. It is a bit familiar, but if it was posted here, it got lost in the drama. : )
I know that, he looks really good as a black cat. ^^ By the way, I want to share there two puzzles with you guys, while waiting :

I saw this on Killing Stalking game on Tumblr, and I know some of you hate Tumblr. I think it's okay for me to post the link (I have not tried the game yet): https://lukaspatel.tumblr.com/post/157416420155/yoonbum-indrag-burningroomgames-its-cold
lol sangwoo killed me hahaha my ending scene was so creepy
One thing that makes Sun Hwa interesting to me is how he is so vulnerable but still wants so much. He wants sex but is embarrassed by his desires. He crushes on people and then panics when they seem to want him too. I don't think he'd ever be the one to initiate a relationship or sex. He may think abut it, but he'd never actually do it. He has yet to be able to learn how to acknowledge his desires and be assertive. I am sure whatever bad thing happened made it worse--he withdrawals from school and society and stays in his apartment making his comics. It's kind of scary, because it would be so easy for the wrong type of person to manipulate or use him, but he would need someone assertive if not aggressive to get past all his defenses.
I am not sure about the baker yet, like most of you. But I have hopes. I mean, if Sun Hwa had someone who was willing to wait till Sun Hwa himself felt ready to make moves, they may grow old as friends--sexless lonely friends.
Spoilerish discussion of Finder no Souen and what it may imply about Kurada's recent behavior.
scroll down
I've been thinking about how people find it hard to believe Asami would rape Aki after seeing what Kuroda went through, and it occurred to me that Kuroda is actually kind of cold when he rescues Aki from what could have become a brutal rape and murder. When I first read it, I just took it as part of their dynamic--Kuroda teases Aki and implies Aki isn't good enough, but rescues him because that's what Asami wants, and it's kind of his job (sort of), and because Kuroda isn't actually going to let Aki die, he just wants to give him some shit. But now I know that the scene, while not as brutal as his own experiences, had elements that might trigger some survivors. This does not seem to make Kuroda want to comfort Aki or treat him specially, though. Kuroda walks right past him and lets others take care of him. Do you think it's because Kuroda does not want to feel empathy, or because he wants to focus on work rather than any uncomfortable memories, or is he just over it and acting the way I first thought (implying Aki f*cked up and got caught, and therefore not worthy of talking to right then). I mean, if anyone would have been effected by empathy after events in Finder no Souen, wouldn't it be Kuroda?
Don't get me wrong. I still love Kuroda. Maybe he's just squishing down all his feelings on the topic to do his job.
Well given the fact that scene is pretty old and the novel wasnt written afterwards...im pretty sure it wasnt thought back then.
You may see it as you like it :)
Also i think the novel is not by yamane ayano...idk if she helped with the plot or just approved it
The novel is not by Yamane Ayano. It's by Satoko Ai. But you raise a good point in the fact that we don't know how much input Yamane Ayano had on the book. It would be interesting to know how much of the book was her invention and how much Satoko Ai's. I'd also really like to know how familiar Satoko Ai is with the manga. If it was something she had already read and enjoyed or if this was just a contracted ghost-writing job for her.
It doesn't seem on the surface that anyone stopped to consider how the plot of the novel impacted things like the scene Anoni Grrl mentions here. Or if they did, it would be interesting to know their thoughts.
There's one thing I remember from the novel that could be related. In the modern day part Asami thinks how Kuroda's eyes seem to be looking more like his these days. I wasn't sure how to interpret that. Maybe he's falling into Asami's world too. But he also said there's a line drawn between them and neither crosses it.
Thanks AWRtN. It makes sense that Kuroda's job makes him more jaded over time (but not exactly like Asami, who kills). I think if we compare Kuroda pressuring a suspect for information (you will be changed with treason) to teen Asami's slicing a skinhead's face, we can see a sort of spectrum where Asami is much more extreme.
Thanks Aussie Anon (Down Under, down below--it's a bad joke). As a side note, I could have sworn I read that YA outlined the novel, SA wrote it, and YA approved it. I can't find my source now, though. I take it as part of the story, just like the previous novel.
I don't know that SA read everything the way a fan would, but I would hope she would read before writing the characters. Wouldn't that be part of how your writing process? So, (purely guessing) the writer might have some awareness of recent scenes as she provides new information about the past. It may be doubtful she meant it to impact certain scenes too directly, but in changing the shape of the story, it affects some interpretations of those parts. Does that make sense?
For example, in the manga, characters believed Tao was an orphan (which is true) and YA's first intent was probably that he be just any orphan. But the previous novel revealed Tao is Fei's nephew, and now we know that the characters (and the reader) didn't have all the facts. It may not have been planned, but this development enriches the story rather than conflicting with it. It makes sense--and keeping such information secret makes sense. It develops the characters and ties things together in a new way.
Or maybe I just think that because I like developing the story in my head. (⌒▽⌒)
Yup, Satoko Ai is apparently a pretty big fan of the manga. At least she was when writing the Feilong novel. ^^
Okay, I read the end even though this is not my favorite OC story. Am I the only one who thinks making shoes for orphaned children to wear to church is a bit...well, sarcastic? I laughed. I hope I was supposed to.
I thought the end would mimic the fairy tale, but maybe this is the Disney version. :) I think it was done that way on purpose. Maybe I'm just too jaded or something.
same I would have settled for a more simple happy ending The bit with the kids feels kinda extra
Can anyone tell me if the phone Sangwoo's been using looks like the one that was in Bum's apartment? It's hard for me to tell. I wonder if Sangwoo's been texting from Bum's phone and will leave a corpse by the trash pole at Bum's (if he does kill her). I think too much, but now I'm thinking if the police are actively looking for Bum, Bum is sure to hide, no?
The same phone Sangwoo was using in 14 and 15? That looks like a different phone from the one seen in Bum's apartment. The apartment phone looks like a slide phone but the one Sangwoo was using looks like a typical touch screen smartphone.
Bum's a coward so I think he'd hide if the police were looking for him. I could also see him trying to plead with police by explaining Sangwoo kidnapped him but unless Seungbae was there idk if anyone would believe him.
I really liked the little extra. Not your typical HEA, but it had some feeling and hints of possibility.
