‘love from the other side’ is back on my tl; i’ve read the fic many times over but it’s the first time i’ve read the commentary and oh my god, it makes so much more sense. i was confused as to why seungcheol was the one who called jeonghan the ‘ghost’, but if you think about it, jeonghan is really the one who keeps … lingering. never being able to let go completely (even until the end. “i’m here.”)
god, i’m in love with your works as always. i read it again before i came here to message you. i’m in awe.
i think that being the thing that doesn't change and everything and everyone else moves around you—it's heavy. it also reminds me of how jeonghan has said that he wants to be like an island, to be the person that people can come to, but don't have to stay with.
admittedly i rted the fic again because i was watching a video essay on oxenfree (on the narrative arcs, and it as a narrative-driven game), and it got to a line that i didn't realize was a paraphrased quote from the game: "Do you ever get this feeling that you’ve lived this all before?" it makes sense that i would've pulled that or written that, because it's a game about time loops and alternate dimensions, but it gave me chills to hear a character say that bc like. holy shit????
this is the video essay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-DM5j5xlgw
i will spare you my typical sales pitch on oxenfree but it's on pretty much every device you can play a game on, including the app stores, and it's more creepy than outright horror (very weenie-friendly! i am the weenie)
