Out of my element here but
Appreciation post for those orv fans that dissect the story, analyze scenes, share their theories and perspectives here on Tumblr
It’s really cool to see how orv looks from your guys’s perspectives and realizing what some scenes meant
Heck, I believed Kdj’s narrative during the webnovel until the fandom woke me up and handed me depression word soup :)
Personally I can’t really put into words what I think and feel- being able to come across posts where it’s put into words just makes my day
Seeing the orv fandom share endless commentaries of the story, their reactions, alternate universe takes, theories and fanart- it all makes it feel like orv never really ended
But yeah, thank you
(Sorry if the post looked long, I didn’t like how the sentences touched, it looked too squished)

The moment Soap realised he was in love with Ghost he nearly broke his ass.
They were in a mission and for once Soap was playing over watch while Ghost went in for recon. There was no good spot that allowed him a full vantage so he has to climb a tree for it.
He’s sitting up in a tree, making all his usual comments as he watches his lieutenant make his way through the compound.
And it’s so stupid and so embarrassing that Soap swears to hell and back that he’ll take the mistake to his grave.
But there’s a moment where Ghost bends over to snap a guys neck and his ass is just on full display for Soap and he very nearly falls out of the tree he’s in because of it. Then the man so effortlessly pulls off another kill, looking like sex on legs and Soap suddenly realises that he’s in love with the man.
He doesn’t know what the hell does it for him or when it even happened but he watches the kill and his immediate thought is, “fuck, I love him.”
And that makes him actually tip out of the tree, barely managing to roll at the last second so he doesn’t break anything, before falling flat on the ground and groaning in embarrassment. He’s just lucky Ghost had found what they needed and was on his way out.
When Ghost realised he was in love with Soap he nearly stabbed the man in a blind panic.
They were walking down the halls of base, usual ribbing and chatter from the Scot bouncing off the walls in an all too familiar fashion.
Ghost is nodding along, giving noncommittal hums as if he isn’t listening intently and taking in every little detail he possibly could, when Johnny’s eyes are widening, hand shooting out toward his face and making him tense.
Ghost nearly throws the other against the wall but then the hand is going past his head and grabs something from behind him. Soap’s eyes are hard and angry, his body manoeuvring around him so he can slam the person who was apparently behind them in the wall.
Ghost is too shocked to do anything, watching as the Scot threatens the ever loving shit out of a rookie for god knows what. When he shoves the rookie away and said man scampers in order to escape Ghost thinks he’s got enough control of himself to try and ask what that had been about.
But then Soap’s turning to him, bright smile on his face as he gestures to the still fleeing rookie as he speaks, “Couldn’t have him ruining the reputation aye Lt.?”
Ghost finally realises what that had all been about and he sees the worry and understanding in Soap’s eyes because somehow, the man had managed to worm into his heart and figure out every little flaw and vulnerability. But despite it all, he’s still here, standing by his side.
And Ghost could kiss him with how much love overwhelms him in that moment. And in the very same moment he could stab the man and kill him for the panic those feelings induce in him, cause he’s never allowed anything nice. Not in this lifetime and probably not in the next.

Spring 08: Now or Never (3/25)
She gave him an apologetic look, “Sorry, I was trying to be funny but failed.”
He pulled her closer and planted a firm kiss on her forehead, “No, I’m sorry, I’m too sensitive about this stuff. I knew you were just joking. Besides, I would never truly kick you out of my bed, and you know it.”
“I do know it,” she smiled, “But I AM going to take a shower now. See you downstairs.”
She waved as she walked out of the room, leaving James smiling on his bed.

the latest chapter is so good TT_TT.. but i have to ask, and i'm sorry in advance in case someone else asked this before.. how is this relationship with Gojo different from Yura's relationship with her ex? Was she not happy with Koji? I know they didn't work out cuz life happened, but was she not in love with him during their relationship?
sorry if this question is a mess.. i'm just trying to understand how yura thinks this is different with gojo, considering she had a bf before, and isn't it the same or something? she and gojo act like their bf and gf after the 1st time they slept together
This answer ended up a little long oops, but lemme try to answer it as best as I can ᕕ(⌐■_■)ᕗ
(also no need to apologize! even if I got the same question twice (which I haven't so far), I can just point you to the old answer or try to answer it again hehehe)
(also also, thank you so much! <3)
I think Yura's relationship with her first boyfriend was veeery different from her relationship with Satoru, mostly because, well, she and Satoru were best friends before they got together (whenever you consider that to have officially happened lmao), while she and Koji were going on more traditional get-to-know-you dates as the starting point of their relationship. Basically, the SatoYura relationship had the advantage of years of history between them, so once they finally started actually being romantic with each other, they skipped the initial awkward bits of a relationship and went straight to being basically married lmao
That's not to say that Yura wasn't happy with Koji, because she was; Koji came in at a time when she needed someone to be there for her, after Geto's defection and Gojo essentially abandoning them for a while. And they had fun with each other, but they were also teenagers still figuring stuff out (as opposed to SatoYura getting together as adults), so their relationship eventually just fizzled out as life got in the way. Plus the fact that they were basically long-distance, which meant not spending as much time with each other as a normal couple would. So I don't think Yura ever truly fell in love with Koji, but she was infatuated with him, as teenagers do, during the duration of their relationship.
(There is something to be said about how Yura only ever got a boyfriend once Gojo disappeared off her life, and after he came back, her relationship with her boyfriend eventually fizzled out lmao. Gojo is a very needy person who is always demanding Yura's attention, poor Koji couldn't even begin to compete lol)
So Yura's only ever long-term relationship was one that was started with someone who was basically a stranger at the beginning, and who she got to know (and got close to) as they went on dates. Which is a wildly different beast compared to her and Satoru, who had known each other for literal years, who she shared an--ahem--extremely close bond with, who she had been essentially co-parenting two kids with and who had become such an integral part of her life that she couldn't see a future without him in it. The two had already reached a level of closeness that even established couples struggle to achieve, so by the time that they started actually getting physical and then romantic... not much actually changed between them lol.
To Yura, even if they were sleeping together, they weren't going on "dates"--they were just her and Satoru going out for dinner as usual, of course. When they spent time together it wasn't in a bf-gf kind of way--they were just doing what they'd always done, of course. The non-platonic intimacy that they were sharing was just an evolution of their friendship, born from their mutual attraction to each other--friends with benefits, of course. It was hard for her mind to wrap itself around the idea that her + Satoru = dating, considering her one dating experience had started out way differently. Plus the fact that girlie was in denial for sooo long--she didn't want to think of them as a relationship, because she was too afraid that the friendship they had would be ruined somehow, and that she would lose him if that happened. It was just safer to keep thinking about Satoru as her best friend... who she slept with, basically lived with, had two kids with...
anyway
tl;dr Yura was happy with Koji at the time, but it turned out to not be too serious, and they eventually grew apart. Then her relationship with Satoru was developed after yeaaaaars of deep friendship (unlike what happened between her and Koji), and her brain (+denial) just considered the romantic evolution of their dynamic to be the natural progression of their friendship, so she just went "no, we're not dating of course" and all that.
Hope that cleared it up! And seeing all these paragraphs--oh god, I can write way too many words about these two, can't I lmaoo
(do feel free to keep shooting me asks about it if you want, hehehe)

Sometimes I think of Amy Pond, who grew up being called mad by those who wielded the word as a tool of exclusion and shame —
Amy Pond, who though forced into the hands of four psychiatrists, still clung to that which they called madness until those systems which elevate psychosocial conformity above humanity stripped it from her —
Amy Pond, whose imaginary friend reappeared for a single hour after twelve years and reignited that faith before disappearing for two more years —
Amy Pond, who spent those those two years under the same implicit threat ingrained in her through psychiatric violence, and thus began to believe the man who stopped the invasion was “just a madman with a box,” only for him to agree, and to also call her “mad, impossible Amy Pond,” reframing madness as non-negative for the first time in her life —
Amy Pond, who ignored the disembodied voice of her imaginary friend even as she ran away with him for real, who still lived each day with the traumatic internalization of deviancy dictated upon her by the psychiatric-industrial complex that shaped her from childhood —
Amy Pond, who wouldn't acknowledge the Doctor's voice, such that it took an Angel in her eye that was literally killing her to ensure she couldn't reality check herself —
Amy Pond, who stood before a room which muttered about “the psychiatrists we brought her to,” and though afraid, escaped their rigid parameters of acceptable existence.
