Sweet Dreams, Dearest Reader

thinking about this

they both tried so hard. kim dokja would never sacrifice himself again, but he did. yoo joonghyuk would never regress again, but he did. something something orpheus will always look back for eurydice...

tfw you have homoerotic subtext with someone of the opposite gender. queerbait but it's not... queer...?

Ques 4,9 and 14 for orv ask game ^^

4: lee seolhwa and kim dokja. I love lsh so so much you dont understand. she studies kdj with a magnifying glass like hes an insect she keeps in her glass jar... what can i say. women in stem 💗 kdj is never really seen to accept her, individually, as a real person outside the narrative he’s put her in. sure, he gets character development, he no longer sees his companions as mere representations of the text he’s read, but in the end we never got much of an interaction between them acknowledging all of this :( I NEED to get lsh closure. I need her to know that kdj doesnt think of her as just yjh’s dead wife anymore. at least i hope he doesnt. lsh has soo so much potential as a character imo. theres so much to explore. her, staying behind at the industrial complex’s hospital, thinking her work will never be acknowledged by the person that saved her just because she’s not at the front lines in every scenario….. lee seolhwa i will always love you. i would punch kim dokja in the face for you. 9. kim dokja ❤️ mainly because: he's the main character, we see from his perspective, pretty much everyone likes him. as a result i get to see so many different kim dokjas based on everyone's headcannons... this is what i love!!!!!! sometimes he looks like a twink. sometimes he looks like an solo leveling ass ikemen mc. sometimes he looks like a dead wife. sometimes he is composed of 4 consecutive lines in artwork. this is it, i think. the peak fandom experience i think he's just really. easy to draw. you dont really have to have any expectations of yourself to fulfill when you try to draw him. he turned out to be ugly? so in character! he turned out to be beautiful? so in character! turned out to be the most average man in existence? so in character. no matter the headcannons, no matter how different everyone views this story, there is still one thing we all have in common. we love this guy. as for 14. ...im not sure. this is like asking to choose a favourite between my children. but i think Good and Evil will always have a special place in my heart. hsy will always paint herself as the villain, yjh will always choose to be good. kim dokja will always be the [demon king] of [salvation]. loved the duet of good and evil, loved orv big bang and the separation of good and evil.

what does Yi Sunsin—who famously got shot to death—think of Lee Jihye using a gun now?

everybody say Thank You Kim Dokja for being the head representative for the "it's ok to be at least a little in love with all of your best friends" agenda

can't ask for donations, can't film their genocide, can't show scans of sniper bullets, can't express anger, can't express support for the resistance, can't even pet post. everything is inherently suspect, a play on emotions, a trick, an angle, a setup. this shit is disgusting.

Reminder that notes/online attention are not a reliable indicator of how well a campaign is going.

You might see fundraising posts with thousands of notes on your dash daily and think to yourself "this person must be doing fine!"

I wish that were true. I saw a post earlier referring to people with fundraisers as "those fortunate enough to have internet clout" but unfortunately internet clout is not a currency that can buy food and other necessities. It's only a testament to how much effort that person spends desperately networking in order to make ends meet, and often not succeeding at that. These people do not have an advantage.

I spotlight for @dr-anas96 and his posts consistently get a lot of notes. He's vetted here.

Here's an interview in English and Spanish he did for AJ+. and also here's a recent article about him in Spanish.

And where does that get him?

He's barely at 19% of his goal, as of today, December 13th, which marks 6 months since he started fundraising.

Anas is slowly dying of starvation and of his illnesses that he cannot currently get treated for. Don't be fooled by the amount of notes this will get. If you can spare a dollar please don't hesitate to donate here.

you know what else is so heartbreaking about orv tonight? 1863, its so painful that the arc that kim dokja almost leaves "his" han sooyoung and yoo joonghyuk for is the arc that they are at their worst. Han sooyoung is sacrificing the entire line for a chance at a better version and yoo joonghyuk has no one and is so deep in his depression that he actually is making steps to permanently kill himself.

Imagine being either of them from 1864 and learning that he almost left you for the parts of yourself that you've been trying to get rid of, Imagine learning that it is all of you that he is dedicated to and maybe the ways that you've split yourself makes you less than what he wants.

Imagine looking at less of him and realizing the same is true for you.

thinking about how you cannot gender yhk in a way that matters. kdj has millions of fragments of all kinds of genders, so you cant essentially call him a guy (?); i assume hsy is pretty much comfortable with changing gender, as she appears as a man in early orv at least twice. yjh is also fine with being the punisher and roaming around people he knows (except kdj, but thats another thing entirely,) like thats already a part of him he's accepted by now
