hey so if I threw a brick at you, and then I threw a brick at Peri, would you think you threw the bricks at each other and fight about it (hypothetically of course. Ignore the brick I'm holding)

well, no, on account of the fact that neither of us have the specific dexterity or joint potential in any of our arms to be able to throw anything. though, i suppose @ask-the-perihelion would be dumb enough to load a brick into its weapons system and try to fire it or something...

either way, for every one brick you throw at me, please throw two bricks at peri <3

Is it me or...

Is Han Sooyoung from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint very similar to our resident hamster?

re:love and terror [orv]

[omniscient reader’s viewpoint epilogue spoilers; no side story content]

“She might be the author responsible for creating this world, but she was also a powerless god. A god that couldn’t even save a single reader.” — Chapter 537, Epilogue 3: Author’s Words (III)

omniscient reader's viewpoint is undeniably about cycles and impossible probabilities— ouroboros and square circles, trauma and hope. it recalls stories in its thousand variations. throughout the story, arcs are repackaged and retold to hone in on one fact: the world is layered with paradoxical time loops of doom, desperation, and all-encompassing love.

han sooyoung’s deliberate actions in writing the end of the world was an action of love and terror. while love was there, the horror of maintaining one life by destroying the universe is undersold. 1863!han sooyoung was projected into the body of her teenage self; she is simultaneously an adult who conquered hell and a lonely teenager. she wrote for over a decade under the belief that every chapter extended his life one more day. years dedicated to this singular faith and, for a brief moment, the novel challenges this fact.

“I would’ve thought about dying every now and then, and also, there could’ve been many a day when I fell asleep while re-reading the ‘Ways of Survival’, but…Yeah, I wouldn’t have died. Not that easily. I’d have continued to live on, somehow.” — Chapter 371: Ep. 70: A Story That Can’t Be Shared (III)

while talking to yoo sangah in the fourth wall, kim dokja comes to a brief realization: he would have continued on without twsa. imagining a future without the novel, he reconnects with a reality he has not confronted since he was a child. he imagines growing old, studying languages, and bike riding with yoo sangah. kim dokja is unreliable on the most basic of narrative terms, however for a moment he genuinely believed that he could have lived on without the novel.

it can be argued that he only comes to this realization due to the companionship he experienced within the apocalypse. it can also be argued that he was doomed to become the oldest dreamer the moment he clicked on the novel. however, focusing on these aspects of the past and future ignores the thematic undertones of doomed attachments. this brief glimpse into kim dokja’s thoughts on his life pre-scenarios uncovers the underlying question: was it love or terror that doomed him?

the obvious answer is yes, of course, it was both love and terror that doomed him. by the bedside of a comatose avatar, shin yoosung and lee gilyoung flip a coin on whether kim dokja lives or dies: 49 alive, 50 dead. a coin is tossed and fifteen years in the past, han sooyoung of an alternative universe publishes another chapter. the coin floats in the air. another dead end and yoo joonghyuk regresses once more. the coin never falls. yes, it was love, but it was also terror.

han sooyoung knows that continuing the story dooms kim dokja. she’s uniquely aware that saving kim dokja is a thankless duty— the universe in exchange for a life past expiration. a story recalled and retold: kim dokja chooses shin yoosung over seoul, han sooyoung choses kim dokja over the universe. kim dokja wins and han sooyoung always, always loses.

han sooyoung never questions if kim dokja could survive without the novel. part of it was selfishness: she’s finally experiencing the love of a dedicated reader she’s been envious of her entire life. she’s devouring herself to keep his attention, his comments. she kills, resurrects, and regrets yoo joonghyuk’s existence. she is also an adult and a child, and she is terrified of having kim dokja’s blood on her hands.

it’s easier to become a cog in kim dokja’s self-fulfilling tragedy than it is to leave him be. she cannot test the possibility of kim dokja surviving without the novel if there’s a chance he can’t. her desperation overrides her rationale. her love wanes in comparison to her fear. if there was a chance of kim dokja surviving without the novel, it could never be fulfilled. kim dokja is never given the chance.

to bring him back, han sooyoung writes once more. a coin falls. thousands of fragments collectively dream a thousand endings. 50 alive, 50 dead. what is love if not selfishness? what is terror if not love?

I really need Nightwing to be taken away from TT post-haste. I can't take it anymore. This whole dumb ass plot is so nonsensical and relies heavily on everyone in the room losing all sense of logic and reason. If Dick Grayson was any kind of in character this whole plot would have been over before you could say "Heartless fucking sucks." Please god when will the nightmare end

For a moment there, I had this feeling that this world's balance of beauty had tilted to one side. A nonsensical amount of cheering erupted out all around us next. "Oh, ooooh! Dear Zhu Bajie-nim!" For sure, calling a face like that 'Yogoe' didn't seem all that out of place. Because well, it was inconceivable that a normal human would be blessed with such looks, after all. Eyebrows seemingly drawn by a single, uninterrupted stroke of a famed artist's brush; a nose and a chin shaped in perfect angles that defied attempts to measure them through mere devices of men; a pair of deep eyes seemingly carved out of a beautiful jewel containing all the misfortunes found in this world. If someone saw those features and not get immediately drawn in by them, then there must be something wrong with that person.

Yes Dokja, Joonghyuk is the most beautiful person to ever exist. Yes Dokja, you've told us before.

You've told us many times before.

Oh? This time he's got his vest half-unbuttoned? He's wearing a nice pair of black jeans? Zeroed in on that right away, did you?

Mmmhmm

Listen, we get it, Dokja. You're super big gay for Yoo Joonghyuk. He doesn't even have to wear the black Chinese dress with black garter belt and if he ever did your heart would probably go flying out of your chest and you'd gasp and curl in on yourself and die right there on the spot.

.

So much for these guys letting Dokja relax.

orv + these awful photo references someone sent in a discord server im in (source)

[cyaneyedcl]

an orv reader saying "i would survive the twsa universe" is the same as a hxh fan saying they would pass the hunter's test

[ayasenisan1713]

Guys, I have an idea for you if you’re bored.

So, who wants to reread orv and list all the philosophical things appearing in the novel for us here~?

(Like the ship of thesus or something, etc…)
