Everyone should give their OCs detailed childhood backstories and memories so that your OC isn't blanking out in the subway thinking if he was born as a fully formed 28 yo while a terrorist attack is actively happening
A friend requested that I post some ORV thoughts on Tone and Themes from discord. I have edited the messages for better organization and clarity below:
There are a lot of quotes that you could argue are the culmination or distillation of ORV. You could also argue that ORV itself is not reducible to a single quote because of the sheer enormity of it, and how that size is a component of the story itself. But if I were to convey the specific melancholy of ORV-- my most fundamental read on the Feeling of ORV-- I would choose one quote to do so.
Iβd fall back on, βIn a world turned upside down, where monsters were rampant, we still had to clear the snow.β
Throughout the immense battles of good vs evil or gods and demons, ORV remains a story about people doing the things they have to in order to continue living.
And there is a distinct melancholy to that: the grief stricken βis it just this forever,β everyone being a regressor, and the mundane tragedies of struggling on in a world that will build a narrative around you regardless of your input or desires. However, all of these things are part and parcel to βsurvivingβ in a ruined world
It's about taking those small steps forward, regardless of cataclysmic tragedy and world-rending stakes. You still have to clear the snow. You still have to take care of the people around you. You still have to cook dinner. You still have to live.
It's the melancholy of a 'nevertheless', and that's a hopeful kind of melancholy. Reaching out and trying again and again. Leaving a mark on the wall because someone might read it. Regressing so that one day you wonβt have to. Iterating and changing and trying again and again. Itβs about making attempts.
It's about finding ways to survive, even if you've forgotten a few.

Ep. 48 - Entrance as a Character
imagine just looking at yourself (or stats in this case) leads to the story 'Looked into the Abyss'
something something Nietzsche's quote "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you" and how kim dokja views himself as a monster
