(Everyone on Twitter's doing country-based Mikus but I'm too white to have an interesting one of those so I did this instead)
Series of reaction images i want everyone to spam to be annoying together, especially when the anime starts airing. I;m definitely gonna be using the hell out of them on Reddit and twt lmaoooo
One thing I love about orv is that it initially bait and switches you by convincing you early on that the constellations are the "big bad" of the story - voyeuristic beings that gain enjoyment off the suffering of others - until the reveal that they are also going through their own scenarios. This mirrors how us as the readers are going through our own lives and our own struggles yet we consume media highlighting the experiences of others. We root for these characters, we follow their journeys, we see ourselves in them. And yet we're not villains - we're just surviving. We're escaping the struggles of our own lives by indulging in these worlds created by human imagination. Similarly, many of the constellations in orv do not have malicious intentions despite living off stories - uriel cares greatly for the incarnations she supports (as the "fangirl" archetype) and sun wukong and abfd also greatly support kimcom throughout their journey.
This is further solidified in the reveal of the oldest dream. Despite unintentionally creating worldlines through his imagination, the younger kim dokja was never a villain or "monster". He was simply a child who sook to escape the tragedies of his life through a webnovel. He depended on that novel to survive. And that was in no way the sin he thought it was - not even secretive plotter who had gone through countless regressions and witnessed the despair of the universe could hold it against him. Nor han sooyoung, nor yoo joonghyuk of the 1864th round, nor yoo sangah, nor anyone else in kimcom. No one thought dokja needed to atone for anything - they loved him and cared for him even when he couldn't love himself.
Just like kim dokja and just like the constellations, we are readers seeking an escape from the struggles of reality. And we too are loved - regardless of whether we know it or understand why.
Dokja and the oldest dream will forever be one of the most heartbreaking scenes like imagine being a kid trying to cope with your shitty reality by daydreaming about self inserting a stronger adult version of yourself into your favourite fictional world and becoming the protagonist. And then the next thing you know that stronger adult version is right in front of you having completed the story you dreamt up and broken through the wall between realities. And the first thing they do is try and kill you for daring to have that dream.
He Michaels on my Shelley til I Spiral.
I adore the fact that Michael Distortion is described as having a horrible laugh that sounds like a headache etc etc and then Michael Shelley shows up and turns out he's just always laughed like that. Jon and Co. were just bullying this poor man for his natural laugh this whole time
All throughout childhood, while my peers were socializing and making friends, I studied the blade read so many books that I am now almost legally blind, which left me with vast and deeply instinctual understanding of English grammar - and next to no ability to explain how it actually works. Friends will often ask me to proofread their writing and then get very mad when I say things like, "You need to completely reverse this sentence and cut this clause entirely; no, I'm sorry, i don't know why, I just know that the way it is now ITCHES 😭"
Now, what I want to see is a fantasy story where this plays out with MAGICAL grammar. Someone from a backwater town deeply steeped in folk magic arrives at Wizard Uni where all their fellow students are like "What do you mean, we should add another '𝞯∘⋇𝞿' to the incancation because it 'sounds better'? What do you mean, 'it could just be a regional thing'?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'THIS SPELL JUST FEELS LIKE IT NEEDS A LIVE RAT'????"

TIL In an epilogue at the end of the original 1931 Dracula film, Dracula breaks the fourth wall and taunts the audience, saying vampires are real and to be afraid. In a 1936 re-release, this was censored by the Hays Code, out of fear it would encourage belief in the occult.

I love getting into strangely similar medias and then falling in love with them and having them become so important to me
princess mononoke x joongdok 🦑🐟
okay done crying my eyes out. btw have u ever thought about how dokja's trauma from his father carries through all of orv without ever being the main focus of it? it truly did all begin with a young boy being abused, but the story doesn't focus on the abuser. it focuses on love and sacrifice and the ways in which we survive and find others in a ruined world. even when the dokkaebi king takes on his father's shape, its short-lived - almost as a nod to what a reader would "expect" of the plot, to wrap everything up in a neat bow that calls back on the 'real' evil of the story. but the evil in orv is never any one being. its the world that made a young boy lose his mother to the prison system and that made him feel isolated and objectified by the media. the traumas that dokja actively struggles with are those tied in with love. his mother, his protagonist, his writer, his children- the point is that evil is boring and ordinary and always here, apocalypse or not. it's love and its flawed, human presentations that make us who we are and that permeate our every action and decision. and that's okay. that's love.
Tell me, you fool. If I continue to regress, will I ever get to meet you again?
Scene from ORV chapter 429
This is one of my favorite scenes (it's my favorite arc) and I was wondering about the different ways the term "other people" could be interpreted
Edit: interpretations of YJH's line in a reblog (found here)
If there’s one thing I’m gonna do, it’s consume oddly similar pieces of media
Seeing spider verse with my little sister
saw the textpost and my mind immediately went to them
*taps on door*
hey anyone wanna hear about Orv
...no?
*opens the door anyway, bringing in my phone, pocket watch, and three google slides presentations laid out on my computer*
ok so basically there are three ways to survive in a ruined world and I'm kinda forgetting some of them now, but one thing is certain: you will listen to this 10-hour-long rant or I will not let you survive.

SOBBING this is so pretty, beautiful ajd everything in between omg
◻️That's why you should've read it until the end, you know.◻️
What did it mean to read a story to its end? Although he couldn't fully understand it, Yoo Joonghyuk still chose to heed that advice
