Chapter 4: <span class='smalltext text--lighter'>Comment on <a href='/story/view/1416839/4'>Blue tone</a></span>
This is definitely NOT some sweet nothings fluff like the foreword implied...that's wayy misleading and an understatement of the fic that i'm almost mad, this is so much deeper n thoughtful to just be sweet nothing fluff...it's hard to find a fic these days that can make me feel satisfied...i mean there are plenty of good writers in terms of how well they write, but content wise, i'm not content...lol...ok pun intended. i've been looking into Loona(specifically, lipseul and now jinseul) fics to read recently. there are a few that i quite like but they all share the same aspect in which everything's purely physical attraction and ual content is like the ultimate goal or on ual orientation when imo love should be just love, not something based on whether one is straight or not(especially to make it the big deciding factor in fics, no just no, yes, i'm big on romance when reading romance stuffs, anything that takes away major points are just no...) and while i wouldn't say i'm a prude(maybe i am though) but those goals/focus in stories makes it feels less romance and just yeah yknow...i won't go further and making harsh sounding remarks but even though here, such aspect still present, it's not focused as a highlight, it's just one of the many events that made up their lives together...and it's presented rather tastefully...so i'm fine with it. i prefer feelings than actions, especially if the feelings can be conveyed strongly without any actions. and i'm satisfied with what feelings i get here. this fic is just beautiful...and has it ended? because i don't see it labeled as completed. just imagining them communicating with their own language is just beautiful...many parts of this fic...especially Haseul's journey of thoughts on silence and sounds really made me think deeply and i guess made me want to be more appreciative as well of everything. in a way, this kind of remind me of an old fic i wrote with a lot of love despite its imperfection, but i can't write like that anymore i guess so i'm happy to find a fic that reminds me of that feelings again, especially involving one of the ships i find endearing. i love how the story is from Haseul pov, and though she seemed like a common shallow character in the way she's introduced...there's so much more to her, and depths to her thoughts as we peeled into her character...and her pains...are surprisingly...relatable, a little too much for me, in fact...since i lost my mom a year ago, and though i might not be going through as much agony or big regrets for the way she lost her mom, i do have things that i wish i had done differently...even though i had no regrets of how it ended, i guess there were nagging feelings/regrets looking at the bigger picture, of course....but it's not like i could change anything anymore for her to see, and reading Haseul's struggles and how she took her steps to move on, made me reflect on how i'd continue my life too; how long will i continue to avoid reality, and how would i approach it...things like that. and Jinsoul is such an interesting character too...so much that at first i thought she wasn't actually human in this fic....haha, excuse my wild imagination...there are very mysterious side to her personality beyond her state of being deaf...there's so much character to her that i kept wondering how the fic would end, i felt it could be happy ending, but i also felt strong instinct that it could end tragically(of course that's more my style though my readers hated it but anyway), i guess it's Jinsoul's very bright, chic and playful personality despite her mysterious sides and despite how people with disabilities were often portrayed somberly in fic stereotypes, it's how Jinsoul written that made me feel like the story could go anywhere and i love it regardless...and i teared up when Jinsoul spoke for the first time telling Haseul not to cry, in all her struggles to form comprehensible speech. there's lipseul crumbs too, i'm happy, because despite lipseul being my ult ship in Loona so far, after making a compilation of jinseul moments...i'm quite torn now...jinseul is just..attractive in such awkward, understated way...their interactions might not be as loud or fun like them with others, but there's a calm, lowkey vibe of two people chilling and enjoying little moments together without making a show of it that would scream 'ship us' like with many popular ships. they seem so different which probably made them seem awkward, but at times, they're more similar than they probably think they're. okay, my comments going off but back to the fic, i also love that Jiwoo's character is a foil to Haseul's...and how parallel they're to an extent ironically despite their differences...that's just brilliant....did i also smell a hint of chuuseul? yep i did...whether it's intentional or not. and i love how in some ways, Haseul and Jiwoo needed each other too, for Haseul, to feel better about herself, and for Jiwoo, to get her ego in check and perhaps for both to improve themselves and move forward to surpass their hurdles. i love their dynamics, since i always feel that they do see each other as rivals in singing in reality even if they're of totally different 'status' with Chuu getting top three lines with Heejin/Kimlip and sometimes Yves and Haseul getting 2-3 short lines when she gets really lucky. but when it comes down to real deal, it's always those two. and they probly knew it too. anyway back to the fic again, i love how perceptive Jinsoul is and how proud she is of Haseul just by seeing Jiwoo broke down crying instead of being jealous or whatnot. and i love how Jinsoul is a big and strong...softie who easily cries goofily. and how she's just oblivious when Haseul's randomly singing for her but Haseul doesn't mind it anyway. and how she starts talking again and how her 'i love you' must've sound perfect by practices now. and Haseul....because we see the story from her perspective, we get to experience her most inner thoughts and i'm glad for it...her love for Jinsoul is so selfless and down to earth and her only concern is always Jinsoul's happiness, and Jinsoul might be the strong one, but Haseul is definitely the adult one(even her flaws), they're both not perfect(as Jinsoul would put it, perfect is boring anyway) but they really do complete each other. and i love how Haseul could hear her mother's voice again after she regained her lost self confidence in her singing in the form of dramatic crying Jiwoo, and not over the cliche reason being the lover's magic or whatnot(i cried on this part too, wait...there were probably more parts but yeah what's the surprise? lol). Speaking of cliche, i also love how in the end, they're still who they were from the start despite how far they've come, and Jinsoul didn't magically regained her hearing to make the happy ending 'perfect' as dramas would do...because in their little world full of simple joys, it's already more than perfect and perfect is boring anyway, again. That is sooo satisfying! and that little touch towards the end of Jinsoul taking care of drunk Jiwoo too and how she read articles on Jiwoo, it suggested how she wanted to know everything related to Haseul even down to her co-worker/frenemy too, since we don't get Jinsoul's perspective, it's nice to get little touches and hints that tells more than direct words would. i love all of Haseul's deep thoughts and her growing appreciation for silence. i love how Haseul loved singing for Jinsoul whenever even if the girl couldn't hear her, and how Haseul couldn't say in words 'i love you' for it to be heard but Jinsoul could do it for the both of them, and Haseul would hear it for the both of them and that's perfect(not in that boring way though) ok lastly, i love how the fic started with 'Blue was Haseul's least favorite color' and it ends with 'Jinsoul was wearing blue. Haseul's favorite color.' a full circle completed. it's just satisfying and beautiful. of course this isn't the end of things i love and would love to point out about this fic, but as you probably can see this is already too long and i can't possibly remember everything(though i don't mind to go back on the chapters, but that'd be too much writing when this is already an essay of a comment). Will i ever find a fic as satisfyingly beautiful as this again? i know not, so thank you so much for sharing this piece that not only entertains from fictional value but also feeds the mind and soul, and for completing it(assuming it's completed from how it ended). i'm sad i got to it this late but i guess better late than never? yeah that's it. Congratulations for completing the beautiful, profound piece of such a grand love portrayed and lived in the most down to earth, simple and humble yet full of gratefulness way, and that's what made it so grand.
