Witnessed an entire conference happening on my bsky feed w/ @tsukithewolf and @levia-san when I came back inside and

): I was having a good day lol

(I wasn't part of the convo so I feel weird posting the screenshots but they were talking about outer god kdj eating kkomas to read their stories)

[orviposition]

there isnt a single day that passes where i dont think about orv ch 751

lhh: i couldnt encourage him to live. i couldnt tell him to live a life that was already destined for failure when yoo joonghyuk was already so exhausted.

lhh gains enlightenment in this chapter and realizes that the reason why he transmigrated into the 41st round, why he has to absorb the kdj fragments, why kdj had to read the 41st round as well, is because 41yjh was the origin of both twsa and orv, and he needed to be saved, and lhh will not leave him walk this eternal path by himself. it's in this scene, as lhh writes the very first side story sentence that he understands why hsy wrote twsa just for kdj's survival

yjh: "if i live a little longer can i hear the story you wrote again?"

lhh: "yoo joonghyuk let's make a promise. never give up on life. as long as you don't give up on life, i will continue to write for you."

I thought, wait a second, this line is familiar, didn't yoo joonghyuk say this?

and he did!!! nirvana/yoo joonghyuk parallels go crazy

[nureon]

[[Spoilers]] for the novel ending!!

I got this idea after I finished reading ORV. This is basically directly after the epilogue. Kim Dokja sitting in his hospital bed, hopefully very alive and awake.

In comes YJH who had enough of KDJ and his stupid sacrifices. Mans gotta make a statement here.

[knightthyme]

sorry i havent posted in forever i am tired all the time and cannot draw and also have been playing too much bg3. but since people have been doing this lately: how i draw yoohankim!!!

[glowingsavepoint]

meanwhile...

[person25]

kdj being all excited to get one of yjh’s amazing skills and then the choices being lie detection or fire/cold resistance is a fat reality check

like “Haha this dude is excited? Let’s ruin that for him.”

Episode 192 of the ORV manhwa is amazing

Uriel @ Dokja:

[claire-want-to-sleep-all-day]

continue from this post

dokja's life is hectic. at least venti is there, with him. he covers dokja's ears when people discussing those nasty rumors, sings many many tunes to override those mocking laughters, tells dokja how is his mother doing in jail, more and more. three of them occasionally meet in dream and chatting about everything they can, courtesy of venti's magic. if dokja and venti never mentioned about their lives at school, sookyung will let it slip no matter how worried she is, because she trusted them.

but despite venti and sookyung's effort, they can't stop the bully to find their way to their little child. venti cries in helplessness while hugging his dear child, and dokja could only gives him a shaky unlucky smile, laying in the wet floor, beaten like rag. sookyung weeping silently when she see the hurt in venti and dokja's eyes whenever she mentioned about how they are doing.

and then.

kim dokja jumped. he was 15.

he survived. but his eyes is now dull and lifeless. the heartbroken is visible in venti and sookyung's eyes, when they reunite in dreams.

kim dokja wants to survive. if not for himself, then for his dear family. he has to survive, no matter what.

and a novel found its way to their lives.

-------------------------------------------------------------

years passed. kim dokja is 28 when the apocalypse started. he did not killed kim namwoon, offered the grasshopper instead. dokja felt the wind is caressing his cheeks, and he gave it his small, genuine smile.

multiple constellations sending him indirect messages, and much more constellations is watching him, but dokja's mind only focus on that one constellation whose gaze is familiar. it feels like venti. feels like home.

and there he is, the 5th constellation in his sponsor list, masquerading by the modifier Singer of Skyward Sonnets. dokja grinning brightly, and the wind is laughing with him.

bihyung and other constellations are very intrigued by this new face. secretive plotter is intrigued too, but because of a different reason. this constellation gives him a very familiar vibe, like the breeze he sometimes felt during his journey to become the king of outer god. it's comforting.

when sookyung sees the modifier in her sponsor list, she immediately smiles brightly, her gaze soften and brimming with affection. she then looks at the sky and says: "i missed you, venti, dokja-yah." the wind whispered, "i missed you too, sookyung-ah, dokja-yah."

in the cabin, dokja replied with honeyed voice, "me too, mom, venti", eyes sparkling with adoration. three of them giggling, constellations are crazy and incarnations are confused, but they did not give a fuck.

with the start of apocalypse, their little family is able to reunite now. no more meeting in dreams only. dokja and sookyung basked in the warm gaze of the bard, and continue to do what they need to do in a ruined world.

----------------------------------------------------------

when dokja and venti reunite, it was when he returned from anguk station. joonghyuk glaring at the green bard standing with a lyre in his hand, eyes looking at joonghyuk as if he known joonghyuk would come.

it's infuriating. just like that man.

dokja, upon seeing venti, was in disbelief as first. but seeing his companions and constellations' reactions, he finally snapped out of it. he runs and jumps into venti's open arm, laughing to his heart content. the bard is laughing too, swinging dokja in the air and kissing his face. dokja blushed, saying "i'm not a kid anymore, you don't have to kiss my face!" along the line but his bright grin betrayed him. seeing venti's 'yeah yeah i know you are just to embarrassed to say you like it' look, he decided to retaliate by pulling venti's cheeks. the bard does the same. they look exactly like siblings.

dokja feels like he has returned to the days when his mother was still with them, reading playing and joking together.

everyone is damn shocked. this probably is the most expressive dokja they ever see. joonghyuk secretive plotter and kkoma joonghyuks are even more shocked. dokja's bright smile hit them like a truck. uriel is screaming. abfd and sun wukong is gagging/picking their ears at the sight. sooyoung and namwoon joins abfd, sangah smiles quietly, others are confused.

I'm still crying over the fact that KimCom's Lee Jihye decided to threaten 41st Yoo Joonghyuk. Character development LOL

"My little brother got beat up for no reason, so as his big sister, I couldn't just sit still."

Even though I knew it shouldn't be this way, my chest kept swelling with emotion. <Kim Dokja's Company> had come.

Not to stop us, but to save us.

Lee Jihye looked at me with calm eyes, then turned to Yoo Joonghyuk and said, "Master, I'll only say this once -- take Ahjussi and run with all you've got."

Yoo Joonghyuk frowned. His expression clearly said he didn't like the idea of running away. But Lee Jihye ignored that look and continued, "You know if they take Ahjussi, it's all over, right?"

".........."

"I don't know how this world's ending will play out, but if Ahjussi falls into their hands, the worst possible outcome is guaranteed. So you have to protect him --"

"Even if you didn't tell me to --"

"-- and if Ahjussi dies, even by some slim chance....."

Drawing the Twin Dragons Sword from her waist, Lee Jihye added coldly, "You'll die by my hand, Master."

Yoo Joonghyuk's mouth dropped open in disbelief. Fair enough -- where else would the great Yoo Joonghyuk ever hear such words from Lee Jihye?

Yoo Joonghyuk was shocked. Yoo Joonghyuk was baffled. Yoo Joonghyuk was bamboozled. Maybe even a little proud. Poor 41st Lee Jihye once they reunite, though.

The surrounding constellations started to sweep through the bushes. Their attacks were devastating as they used all types of explosions, acid and fire to damage the nearby bushes. The acidic liquid melted my feet and burned my neck and wrists. However, I held Jang Hayoung's wrists tightly and didn't move. A little bit more. Just a bit more. The bombardment swept through the area. Fortunately, they didn't seem to have found us. They started gradually moving away from us. …Just a bit more. I listened to the sound and estimated their distance. 10 steps, 20 steps, 30 steps… Suddenly, all the explosions disappeared. "Run." Jang Hayoung and I ran out of the bush. We didn't see any constellations. At this moment, a scream was heard out of nowhere. It was a long and terrible scream. In the distant sky, a bird was falling down with a giant sword through its neck. [The helper 'Thunder Eating Bird' has been killed!] …He came.

I will never get tired of Dokja’s entire plan boiling down to “buy time until Joonghyuk shows up to wreck shit.” Never. He’s always so dramatic about it too. This is a man who loves a good entrance. Won’t even tell Jang Hayoung why they’re buying time, just that they are. Dokja read 3,149 chapters of a webnovel centered around a guy who likes to bust through the door and step on people and absolutely loved it. What a fanboy. Though it does make me wonder how tf Dokja was originally planning on fighting Joonghyuk when he was literally waiting for Joonghyuk to come save him. What was his plan if Bihyung hadn’t combined their industrial complexes? Especially since he’s the one person who knows that Joonghyuk gets even more powerful in games due to his Pro Gamer attribute? Just stand there with his arms raised all “Joonghyuk don’t hit me. I have a plan.” …...Honestly that probably would have worked.

its my personal headcanon that han sooyoung wrote the character of gong pildu to be weird catharsis for perpetually poor and perpetually paying too much rent kim dokja. nothing like being 17, kicked out of your home and working on top of school to afford accomodation and then getting home and reading yet another round of yoo joonvhyuk brutally murdering that shitty landlord guy. i know kim dokja was kicking his feet twirling his hair and imagining it was his own landlords yoo joonghyuk was killing

[roo606]

poor yoo joonghyuk…
