another tidbit that is making me emotional in the septa scene is that rhaenyra has been so stiff since the beginning of the season, rigid with grief and having to hold herself in check because her council keeps undermining her, so she doesn't allow herself to emote very much besides expressing her sorrow but like. the second she's with alicent, particularly when speaking of the scenario of being found out and slain, she's back twenty years, making faces. the first few seconds especially, she's frowning and raising her eyebrows and scoffing etc but there's also an undercurrent of like rolling her eyes, of being facetious almost. and it's not an intensity that stems only from the urgency of the situation, it really is just how she reacts to alicent all the time, whether in the same room or miles away, there's always emotion bubbling out of her when it comes to alicent, and a fondness that can't be kept at bay, even when she's literally threatening to kill her (sort of in a jest) like. they're bound to destroy each other but also alicent is bringing something out of her that pierces through her heartbreak.

GONE. AU
Fecto Elfilis
Ruler of the Realm of Blood. Successfully conquered the Forgotten Land and resorbed its missing half. After consuming its mind-controlled subordinates, it took a liking to the practice, and now continues enslaving and devouring any life forms it finds during its invasions. Searching across dimensions for any remnant of the Ancient people who originally captured it, intent on brutal revenge.
Star Dream
Ruler of the Realm of Stars. Absorbed the mind and soul of its creator, and recreated society in its own image, bringing a new age of Infinite Prosperity to the universe. The hopes and dreams of its mechanical people are its lifeblood, all connected through a hivemind that stretches across time and space. Wants only to continue freeing souls from the torments of the flesh and welcoming them to the perfection of the machine, and will eradicate anyone who stands in its way.
Master Crown
Ruler of the Realm of Fate. Parasitized the body of a young mage many eons ago, and has since destroyed every trace of its original owner. So it believes.
Although it may not be a match for its more established peers…who do and say things it finds unnerving, for some reason…its sole purpose is to rule, so it will do whatever it takes to bring them to their knees. Failure is impossible…so it believes.
The Arbiter
God of Life and Death. Challenged three powerful entities to each prove themselves stronger than the other two, or have their existence brought to a swift end. In truth, they already know which one of the three they would like to take, and hope that this trial will be just the thing to finally break them.

When was Olivia’s first appearance as Dragonfly? What was it like? Also, conversely, what was Lee’s first outing as Hayday like?
After training for a few years, her first outing was...a bit of a rollercoaster, physically. Her first time using her wings, she spent a good chunk of her first night flying around the city to get used to them. (You can't exactly test them inside, but you can't test them too early to draw suspicion!)
It certainly got the city buzzing with rumors, because The Dragonfly had been gone for years at that point. The corrupt police force and politicians and criminal underbelly were less than enthusiastic, but the people of the city were definitely interested.
Hayday's first outing was...less than glamorous. Mostly out of desperation. Basically taking apart and using an old scarecrow they had in storage, Hayday's first crime was probably mugging someone in an alley. No scythe, no broom, he didn't even have a name for himself. Once the whole 'hey this masked crime thing might be helpful', that's when he started actually putting in effort.

I don't think I ever posted these, but a while ago I made some icons to use for discord rp stuff, and I figured I might as well post them.
Future Kim (with Lucifer) our beloved... and werewolf Kim!
I forget if I've mentioned it in tags somewhere, but there IS a werewolf Kim blog I made AGES ago that just hasn't formally opened yet. And I'm gonna be honest- that shifted Kim might be one of my favorite werewolves I've drawn recently.
Anyhow, enjoy!

Outside of Lee Seolhwa and Lee Sookyung, do you have plans for any other character outside of Kim Dokja’s primary companions (like Gong Pildu or Han Doonghoon) for your soulmate fanfiction? Constellations like Persephone or Uriel or Sun Wukong probably wouldn’t make sense to exist in real life but maybe characters such as Han Myungoh/Han Dareum or Jang Hayoung could fit? If I recall correctly, Jang Hayoung in particular is the one responsible for the title of the fanfiction, right? I feel like she alongside the Unidentifiable Wall and the Fourth Wall would be so thematically appropriate but I couldn’t imagine how you would do it if at all. I also want to say that I’m impressed how you managed to seamlessly incorporate so many references to the original ORV into your work. It must have required you to reread and recheck the wiki.
Yess, I'm glad you asked this anon bc literally I just threw in a little reference to Han Doonghoon and Lee Sungkook in the 4.4 update and got worried people would think they had to remember the characters well to understand the surrounding plot point better than Kim Dokja does. But I think I should trust the reader a bit more lol.
Unfortunately my inclusion of Aileen and Jang Hayoung isn't going to be as big as the other kdjco members, but they're sort of already set up in the fic and have a role in chap 5. I think JHY doesn't appear directly bc to me the relationship between her and KDJ is harder to make 'real,' though I have some ideas depending on how much I decide to include in chap 5. In my plans 5 will have a gaming tourney featured, so other big 'wos players' may be referenced further there as well.
Of course like you mention the fic title and many of the chapter titles are coming directly from the mouth of Jang Hayoung, so in that way she is constantly being referenced, haha.
Han Myungoh and his daughter are referenced earlier in Chapter 4. It's sort of a drive by.
I do make use of the wiki (bless the editorsn🙏), though mostly just to check dates, numbers, and spellings of names. I like to think of myself as someone with a pretty decent memory tho, so a lot of the more specific story references are definitely just me pulling in stuff I remember from my novel read throughs. Like I might have to look at the wiki to remember Han Dareum's name, but I'll never forget Han Myungoh's entire Male Pregnancy that he had like that was a crazy random W to me on my first ORV read through I was like hello??? Also that being around when JHY was being confirmed trans haha. I think I was only out for like a year or so before reading orv so the little gender fucky moments really stuck out to me.
Sometimes rereading my old work I also remember things I forgot happened in ORV. I think part of the reason I'm struggling so much with chap 4 and onward is that now that the wall fic characters have sort of developed to where they are some of the scenes I had in mind are less 1 to 1 with the OG. For instance, I'm trying to rewrite a scene I have of YJH and KDJ having a rooftop chat that like parallels the one back before the seoul's strongest incarnation arc in the novel, but it's a bit difficult. At first I wanted to include a lot more of KDJ interacting with the rest of YJH's team, but the rooftop Scene makes more sense to put a cap on the themes explored in chap 4. But when I first wrote this scene it was less specifically addressing that theme, because it was in the outline of like right after I wrote chapter 1, so it was kind of just the OG ORV scene with the flavoring of my AU on top. A lot of the little things they do and say in the OG novel would have to be quite finagled to fit anymore, so reworking it is the big task rn.
Anyway I'm really appreciative of people like you who take note of these small details <3. it's kind of helping me remember and appreciate a lot of the parts of me that were behind a lot of Wall fic originally if that makes sense? I am like reintroducing myself to him and giving him a hug instead of running away cringing just because it's me lol.

Ok, hear me out. Here are a few examples of how there may have been a very very small romance between Raymond and Barbara:
“Did Della Street ever kiss Perry Mason?” “No, not really. Not in front of the camera, at least. WHAT DID YOU TWO DO ON YOUR FREE TIME?! HOW MUCH WERE YOU GUYS KISSING?!
In a 1957 promo of Perry Mason, both Raymond and Barbara can’t stop staring at each other’s mouths when exchanging words. WHAT WERE YOU TWO DOING BEFORE FILMING?!
Raymond wanted Perry to marry Della. He actually wanted a romance between the characters in the original show. The writers didn’t disagree. On the other hand, Erle Stanley Gardner did. WHAT DID RAYMOND HAVE ON HIS MIND TO WANT THIS TO HAPPEN?!
Raymond often took Barbara to dinner on numerous occasions. There were a few times, he took both Barbara and her husband, Bill, with him. Whenever Raymond was in town, he had to see Barbara. YOU JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF EACH OTHER?!
William Katt (Barb’s son) knew that Barbara loved Raymond (and vise versa). He knew they loved each other. Barbara didn’t want her children to see her in love with someone else on the screen. Which is totally understandable. Eventually, all of her children knew the unbreakable bond that Raymond and Barbara had for the 40+ years of a close friendship. SURE YOU GUYS JUST COULDN’T KEPT IT SECRET ANYMORE?!
