I just remembered that when I was like 6 I had a dream where I heard a very tiny “hello!” and I looked and it was this tiny white puffball and it looked like this

DONT YOU KNOW KOREAN oh snap
Rebloging to again add:
Seriously, it’s easy to just see this as pro-women. But it is so very much more.
I adore my homeland, but let’s be real. The very very vast majority of violent crimes that are reported are against women. This is not some sudden nor recent thing, either. South Korea ranks 117 of 142 countries for gender equality - even the wage gap is absolutely absurd. Women are literally dragged into nightclubs by staff to attract men. Nearly 90% of violent crime reports are women. Accusing a rapist is often met with defamation suits. Criticizing the police and government for failing to take this problem seriously similarly encounters resistance, legal action, and social ostracism. Mothers out of wedlock are often forced to have abortions by their family on threat of being disowned - and are often disowned afterwards regardless. Children of unwed parents can find great difficulty finding employment.
THIS IS NOT JUST A MOMENT OF ATTITUDE AND EMPOWERMENT.
From an asian perspective, especially a Korean one, this is a revolutionary and violent response to the misogynistic attitude in South Korean and much of Asia.
Where westerners are seeing something to cheer with a smile, I see something to cheer with a fist in the air. My sisters in Korea are literally facing rape, exclusion, and death simply for being my sisters.
Yes, please be thrilled to see this sort of thing. Absolutely! But please understand the culture this comes from is very different from your experiences.
What this means is, that ever single one of the following
Jack Be Nimble (who jumped over burning candles for fun)
Jack the Giant Killer (who sold his cows for magic beans then robbed and killed a giant)
Stingy Jack (who tricked the devil so many times he was banned from both afterlives)
Jack of Jack and Jill (who splattered his head open falling down a hill)
Jack o’ Lantern (the headless horseman spirit of halloween)
Jack Frost (the spirit who heralds the end of autumn and the start of winter)
Are literally the same jackass who made so many bad life choices he ended up an immortal ice dullahan with a pumpkin serving as both his head and flashlight
but what an incredible journey he had getting there
He’s Ye Olde Florida Man
‘ye olde florida man’ is actually way closer then it has any right to be and that scares me
there’s nothing better than griffin mcelroy completely apathetically and deadpan doing a bit while his brothers literally choke on their breath screaming with laughter in the background
oh sorry sorry but this is FALSE—patently FALSE—information because i’m pretty sure what’s better is Justin struggling to get through what is probably not even a very good bit while his brothers shout over him and also each other in the background
what’s REALLY good is when Travis and Griffin are deadpan bouncing back and forth with a bit while you can hear Justin animorphing into a whistling teakettle in the background
what’s also good is when Justin is possessed by a Voice and suddenly he’s an unstoppable juggernaut of comedy while his brothers cry for mercy
