STUCK IN NOVEL PURGATORY
33 posts
just finished orv(minus the side story) and i can finally make lore accurate memes
maomao is my favorite "not like other girls" style protagonist bc for one shes a girls girl through and through. to the bone. and two she's just a weird little freak. absolute lunatic. they have the whole "omg she's actually beautiful and everyone falls for her when she's all made up" trope but the punchline is that she does not fucking want to look like that. she actively puts dirt on her face every day bc she does not want to be perceived as attractive (mostly out of fear of being used for sex work though at the same time she has the utmost respect for women who do sex work like she grew up in a brothel those are her sisters). she's Sherlock level smart and solves every mystery so fast but goes "well thats none of my business. anyway back to testing poisons on myself" she has the 2nd most powerful guy in the nation head over heels in love with her and is like "man this guy is weird around me what's his deal. I guess he's fine though because he gives me rare medicines and has no dick" fucking ICON i love her. also she once slapped someone so hard they fell on the floor. 10/10
God I love Apothecary Diaries. Maomao is like a dog with a mouth full of Lego bricks to me. Babygirl don’t eat that

ok my vision for a kim dokja/yoo joonghyuk/lee seolwha threesome is this. so kim dokja keeps trying to convince yoo joonghyuk to get back together with lee seolwha because thats his otp and he wants to see it play out in front of him. he does this through extolling her virtues loudly and awkwardly and through classic miscommunication this results in yoo joonghyuk and lee seolwha both thinking kim dokja is actually just into her.
lee seolwha thinks this is kind of sweet, and well. she's kind of lonely in the apocalypse. yoo joonghyuk angsts endlessly about this because this crazy guy he's into is apparently into his ex wife and wow, his life is really a fucking trainwreck, but eventually settles on some manly repression and self-sacrifice bullshit where he's like 'i have no history with lee seolwha in this regression........and kim dokja deserves to be with the woman he loves......'. meanwhile kim dokja is not so subtly trying to bang these two dolls heads together and convince them to kiss. however, throughout these failed matchmaking attempts both kim dokja and yoo joonghyuk end up growing closer to lee seolwha.
eventually, somehow, this ends in a confrontation where lee seolwha makes a pass at kim dokja while yoo joonghyuk stares broodily into the distance totally not eavesdropping. kim dokja tries to say something along the lines of 'you should be with yoo joonghyuk!' but again this gets misinterpreted as him wanting yoo joonghyuk to also be included. when yoo joonghyuk responds to this with the biggest puppy dog eyes imaginable going (voice filled with restrained hope) i can come too? well.......theres no world where kim dokja could refuse him. and thats how they all start fucking.
first date idea i promise to kill you and you distance yourself from all your friends so i can have them instead while collecting all the swords to lock the world in an eternal slumber but some random fuck interrupts and reminds you why you wanted to live in the first place so you schism in half and regress to another world line leaving me completely alone. and we're both girls.
han sooyoung (13 years old) (asshole): oh my god why do you keep harrassing me about this dumb plagarism shit like kys weirdo
han sooyoung (1863rd version) (watching her younger self suicide bait the person shes writing twsa for just so he won't do specifically that):

maybe the world’s most apocalyptic tragedy is a child’s inability to believe in happiness o(-<
kdj love letter vs hsy love letter
bonus yjh love letter:
yoohankim dump for Valentine’s Day 💜🤍🖤
girlfailing, girllosing, girlsuffering
drawing kdj and yjh next to each other to emphasize kdj’s normal guy charms 🤲😭🥹
ah, but….
(isn’t it a bit a pathetic for him to be so normal? maybe it would be cooler if he had…)
It really was a great story 📚🖋️
lol. My interpretation of KDJC’s opinions of yoohankim
I randomly remembered HSY help reassemble LSK in the surgery room and pondered over their relationship before this crack idea happened. A chat with a friend then sealed the deal
Bonus:
Joongdok bonus ending:
This venue has been booked all day anyway and KDJ was too shellshocked to reject.
Congratulations!
EDIT: MY FRIEND MADE A GREAT ADDITION CHECK IT OUT (x)
idk man this is what happens when you play too hard to get 😭
godddd how can ppl just continue to remain sane after thinking about yoohankim for more than 10 seconds tis beyond me to comprehend
yoo joonghyuk, warned by kim dokja himself that if you want to meet me and learn your reason for existing is to save my life you will have to regress and relive the apocalypse hell for 1864 times. you will break, you will get depressed, you will forget why you started this to begin with. and all yoo joonghyuk said was "I hope you continue to exist somewhere too"
han sooyoung, warned by dokkaebi king (fourth wall) that if you want to enter the 41st worldline and get kim dokja back you will die because your death has been recorded on the wall and you will forget we ever had this meeting, and all han sooyoung said was "If this is the probability needed for you to come back then..."
Since people canonically cannot see Dokja's face, it would be interesting how that would manifest as their minds tried to fill in the blanks. Ever-shifting, morphing between various never-quite-clear faces of the average Korean man. Somewhat hard and eye-straining to look at if you look at him too long.
annoying theme park couple doksoo poke the bear for funsies <3
