they say you can't pour from an empty cup but i've been doing it my whole life and aside from all of these mysterious ailments it's working out great for me

HAHAHAHAHAH thank you for the tag 🫶🫶🫶 even if I'm mostly inactive on tumblr these days

Last song: if it's not you - PRYVT (such a good yearning song actually... this song playing while you're staring at the ceiling at 12 am is an experience)

Favourite colour: Green, forever green. One of those darker forest greens that's a little bit cool to the eyes.

Last TV Show: i've been watching head over heels lately! it's a bit fun to watch, and I kind of liked how they approached the whole love triangle shenanigans

Last Movie: Superman (2025). what a film

Favourite Flavor: i don't have any preferences, but if we're talking about ice cream flavors, i like the old and reliable vanilla. literally never goes wrong

Tea or Coffee: before I would've said coffee, but caffeine no longer agrees with me (i get insane headaches), so i've been into herbal teas lately

Last thing I googled: "snow leopard jump"

AAAAAA TY FOR TAGGING MEEE @aceandexploring

Last song: I'm Not Okay - Citizen Soldier (I'm on a Citizen Soldier binge)

Favourite colour: It's a tie between soft purple and true green, like the colour of grass in the brightest sunlight after rain, but if anyone asks I say green

Last TV show: That I finished or that I watched an episode of? Cause I can't remember the last one I finished. Uhhh I watched Weak Hero two days ago, and Our Beloved Summer before that (which im actually interested in watching). Otherwiseeee the last one i actually finished was Link Click

Last Movie: Kpop Demon Hunters :DD

Favourite Flavour: Chocolate.... Orange chocolate specifically

Tea or Coffee: I haven't drank enough of either to draw a full comparison but from what I've tasted of both I'm going with tea jsjs

Last thing i googled: (Okay before i answer OOMF IS THAT FOR YAMIGDHISJWJS) okay fr now.... oh thats embarrassing um 😭😭 ah well: "is the summer solstice the longest day of the year"

the final chapters of orv to me are like this. youre feeling tired and insecure and your friend invited you to a party later tonight but you think they'll probably have more fun without you. so you fake sick and don't go. and you do that often enough with enough friends that you look back at your life and realize you never took a single person up on a single offer. and then you die and god hands you a big book and you open it and its full of every single time someone wished you were there. every single person who wanted to be with you longer, every old friend and passing acquaintance who wished they still knew you. every single person who you could have built a life with and didn't, and their life was colder as a result. and god says here is proof that you were loved and you say what do i do with this now. its too late. i missed it all. and god puts her hand on your shoulder and says you're not too late at all. the invite is still open. we're still here.

adding to the "there should have been more genuine tension within the seven" train of thought, it would have been funny if the Argo II, technically being a ship, meant it fell under Percy's power domain and he could control it all at whim, rendering all the carefully crafted controls Leo built useless if Percy felt like being an asshole

best friends to lovers is about DEVOTION it's about CODEPENDENCY it's about the intimacy of being known and being seen it's about holding someone so close to your heart you forget where you end and where they begin it's about knowing the worst parts about someone and loving them not only despite but FOR it

during the Disastor of Floods, 41st shin yoosoung spends the entire fight telling her opponents a story. she tells them the story of her own suffering, and of the suffering of their alternate universe versions who she knew and loved and watched die - from her perspective pointlessly - for yoo joonghyuk. they don't understand or care about her story, but she tells it anyway

after so long suffering with no one to see or hear her, so long writing a story no one was reading (which orv establishes as a very cruel hell) shin yoosoung is desperate to make her voice heard. yoo joonghyuk however, doesn't even wait for her to tell him what her journey was like, just immediately starts demanding information. shin yoosoung desperately wants to have her story acknowledged by him, but she knows that the man who sent her off never would, and it drives her into a rage. she will end his story. she will be the one who leaves a mark on him this time.

however, there is one person in this fight who shin yoosoung doesn't have to tell her story too. someone among this sea of strangers (or at least, who see her as a stranger) who knows her well enough to read her very thoughts. kim dokja has read her story countless times, and is the only one who sympathizes with it brazenly from the get go. it's because of him, and the way he changes yoo joonghyuk, that shin yoosoung is able to get her message heard. because he hears it first. he refuses to let her story end misunderstood, chasing her all the way to the underworld.

i was initially skeptical of how kim dokja manages to talk so many of his opponents to his side when i first read orv - its a trope i very much have a love hate relationship with. but i think part of why he is able to pull it off so often, and why so many people find themselves following him, is because of the deep love he has for stories. every story, every discarded character, every rock on the ground. everyone wants someone who will treasure their crude lump of a story

the thing about yoohan kissing is that their tongues DO "battle for dominance" wattpad fanfiction style. that's simply the most accurate way to describe it. theyre kissing to WIN and to prove theyre better and stronger than the other theyre frowning and grimacing and playing thumb war but with their tongues and slobbering all over their faces like dogs. probably really awful to look at but its enrichment for them and afterwards they both have smug looks on their faces
