Question…. How do you feel about Win Hitting Team in the face after he saves him?

I wasn’t a fan of that part and I don’t know if I’m comfortable seeing it on screen. I know it’s a mix of emotions he angry, nearly lost him, but ……. I don’t know. Hope you understand .

I understand, Anon! It's a polarizing scene, and people don't need to have a unanimous opinion of it.

I personally really liked it in the novel! It was a moment of raw anger and flawed humanity from a character who's been composed and responsible ever since he got through a rebellious phase that mainly consisted of skipping class and body modification to get attention from his parents. Literally the tamest rebellion in teenage history. The punch is also framed as a mistake, and something he clearly feels guilty about almost immediately, since he then yanks Team into a hug. The novel describes Win as shaking like a frightened animal, which just underscores for me how primally terrified he was. After all, he was alone when he walked into the building and saw Team at the bottom of the pool, probably seconds from death. If Win hadn't acted as fast as he did, he would have had to watch Team die.

And Team put Win in that position through his negligence. Even worse, Team doesn't even have the grace to even act apologetically after he regains consciousness. He's dismissive and almost petulant, and while that's his whole thing, it's just not the time for it. Of course, Team's clearly suffering from a host of mental traumas, so it makes sense for him to diminish nearly dying, but from Win's perspective, he's probably imagining previously unthinkable things: would CPR and potentially breaking a rib have killed him instead? Who do you call to take a corpse? How would he ever swim again? Sleep again? I'm not arguing the punch was deserved, only that Win's so far removed from rationality at that point, he's just trying to get Team to understand the severity of the situation they're in.

Imagine how Win feels seeing Team shrug off his near-death. That could easily make Win believe that this could happen again. If Team doesn't value his life, if he takes risks like this again, if Win's not there the next time, if he doesn't take this seriously—

Anyway, that's why it worked for me. Plus, after the punch, after the hug, Win takes Team not back to the dorms, not even to his own dorm room, but to his own family's home. Win drives Team's car, stops at a convenience store to get ice for Team's face and snacks for him as a treat, literally feeds him at home, lets Team shower on his own to respect his space, and at the end of it all, he falls asleep with Team safe in his arms. Because this is who he is at his core. He's the one who talks Team down from intimidating Alex, and he's the one who gives rational advice to Dean. So I like that the novel shows that the only way to make him lose it completely is Team dismissing his own brush with death. Is it romantic? No, of course not. Is it healthy? Also, no. But I don't want a character to make the right choices every step of the way. Their mistakes and how they try to make up for them enhance their complexity for me. I mean, if Win were a real person, I'd be like, "He punched you?" but he's fictional, so I just see that scene as fascinating to explore his mentality instead.

ALL THAT BEING SAID, it works for me because it's that version of Win.

The Win we've seen in the series isn't the same Win we see in the novel. Boun made the decision in December of last year while they were filming the post-drowning scene for the pilot teaser for Win not to punch Team, and it works so well. Because it's Boun's version of Win. Novel Win didn't have a meticulous, restrained conversation about consent with Team before he slept with him the first time. Novel Win didn't even hook up with Team a second time. There are a lot of overlaps with Novel Win and Series Win, and they're both written by LazySheep, but Hemp Rope is a novel she started around 2017, and she had to take her time and a lot of consideration to adapt the novel into a script with 2022 sensibilities and growth.

So I think Boun was right to change it because he knows what this version of Win would do. And I think it says a lot in favor of Sheep and New that they saw the wisdom in his decision and allowed him to do so for the main series as well. (They show him raise his fist but switch to a hug in the trailer, just like the pilot teaser.) When directors understand and value the input of their actors, I'm always deeply impressed and appreciative. Collaborative art can be some of the most powerful, and I think Boun was incredibly smart to show that Win did have the impulse but decided against it. I think that's just as powerful for this version of him.

Essentially, I appreciate the novel scene for what it is, and I like that the series has presented a different version of it with unique nuances influenced by an actor who loves his character tremendously. <3

I think having the reincarnated lovers as a side couple is so funny. Pharm is drowning in tears having flashbacks from his past life but hold on the hot hunkies are about to fuck

Magical realism but it’s just “and whatever’s going on over there”

Pharm: i cooked breakfast for Dean at my place Manaow: *basically has a boyfriend now Team: *went to home base with swim club VP twice Manaow and Team: WHAT?!!!! *scandalized shriek

TXT’S KINKS [+ media]

Warnings: (mdni) smut, links in bold are literal porn, unbolded is videos/content of txt members, via Twitter & YouTube, degradation, just my opinions

(A/n💌; -Tw: degradation- MOMMY WANTS YOU TO SEND HER YOUR HORNY THOUGHTS AFTER READING THIS YOU DIRTY WHORE!!! And if you don’t you’ll be in trouble, Thank you 🥰<3)

✿ Yeonjun —

Definitely has a choking kink I believe, for multiple reasons and no one can change my mind

Just loves to be degraded and feel like an absolute S.L.U.T

And never feels shame. This man has not a single drop of self pride when it comes to sexual desires and acts

Which moves us on to this video of him HUMPING A PILLOW ON VLIVE

Not even trying to be subtle, he’s just a dumb little pillow fucker

Literally anything that makes him feel good, he’ll fuck himself on it

🙌🏼Whore.

Just give him anything to hump his sensitive little cock on and he’ll cum so quickly :(

✿ Soobin —

Ok so some people think Soobin is a dom

And since he’s the leader, he’s obviously going to have to be a little authoritative

But he literally said on weekly idol he’s not the type to take the lead in a relationship

& would be dragged around oskmansidks

He said he would agree to whatever his s/o says???

Sub!soobin is real I rest my case

Also I’m hoping he has an oral fixation bc he has the perfect lips for it

(Oh and definitely has a size kink)

✿ Beomgyu —

Dumb baby’s got a monster cock

And he doesn’t know how to use it :((

Fr though I never would have guessed Gyu was so ✨hung✨

And that’s just him soft??? Imagine it hard? Omg

Feel like he’d be an emotional fucker honestly

As in probably cries when he cums <3 •#u#•

And says I love you :( - ok now I’m getting soft

He’d definitely be into edging or thigh riding bc he’s so sensitive

✿ Taehyun —

Another big dicked dumb ass.

Help the innocent baby he doesn’t know how to use it 🥺🥺

Has a corruption kink (receiving...if that’s a thing?)

Wants to feel all pure and innocent in the beginning

Then turns into your ruined little cummy covered toy <3

Would also definitely be a brat

Unfortunately he’s such a bitch that the only form of punishment he can stand is overstimulation

Oh, and being tied up.

Plz tie this whore up

✿ Hueningkai —

He LOVES to be talked down to

Like in a “sweet” but actually condescending way

Gaslight him.

Manipulate him.

Make him cry until he feels utterly pathetic and useless

Then fuck him like he’s an actual object

It’s either that or compliment him until he becomes a shy little mess

and cums in his pants untouched :3 <3

Team should probably go to therapy for what are clearly unresolved-trauma-based anxiety issues but instead he got himself a blonde emotional support playboy
