We need to raise total of $60,000. The evacuation costs for one adult are $5,000 and we are a family of 10 adults, so it's $50,000 and we have 5 children and each one costs $2,000 to evacuate.

Also I have put my new baby before 40 days and now i am  struggling to provide for my baby girl and her two other children. They urgently need warm clothes to protect them from the harsh weather and milk and other necessaities.

Recently I’ve been thinking about the different types of love languages in Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, The S-Classes That I Raised, and Lout of the Count’s Family…

Not to say that each of the stories describes only one single kind of love language; they are, after all, all novels that focus on Found Family, with many different types of relationships between characters that express their love for each other in as many different ways.

Yet, I’ve noticed how at the core of each of these three stories there is one specific act of love that recurs more than others, and that becomes the true Theme each novel revolves around.

In Lout of the Count’s Family, the main love language is providing food and a home.

“Home” is such an important concept in LCF that Cale collects houses like they were pokemon cards. The source of his trauma when he was a child as Kim Roksu was that he was not given sufficient food, and that where he lived was not truly a shelter where he could feel safe, just a place he was trapped in.

And I don’t think there are ever more than 2 chapters in a row without a character offering food to others, or asking if they’re hungry, if they’ve eaten, why haven’t you eaten, here have some apple pie!!

Cale uses his newfound money and power to make sure his loved ones are provided for. That’s how he adopts bonds with most of his new family.

The first thing Raon does after he’s freed from the prison he’s been trapped in all his life, is to leave food for this hopelessly weak human.

Choi Han, who has lived alone in a dangerous forest for decades, would do anything to protect his home.

The Crown Prince, who has been isolated and untrusting of everyone ever since his mother died, makes sure to always have cookies in his bedroom in case guests “break in” for a visit at any time of the day or the night.

I love you, you’ll never be hungry again. I love you, my home is your home.

In The S-Classes That I Raised, the main love language is words.

Yoojin’s powers are literally activated by telling people “I love you”. Because all he ever wanted was to say “I love you” to his brother one last time.

Because the tragedy that starts the story happens because Yoohyun loved and protected his hyung in secret for years. Silence creates misunderstandings, it creates distance, it leads to loss.

Loving someone isn’t enough, tell them! Reassure them. Remember what they say, because their words are important!!

Ever since the regression, Yoojin always let people know when he loves them and appreciates them. “You’re perfect, you’re cute, you’re so talented, you’re so handsome, you are loved.”

And as the novel progresses, whenever Yoojin is in pain, or doesn’t know what to do, he turns to Sung Hyunje because he needs to be reassured, he needs to know he did well, he needs to hear he is still important to the people he loves.

I love you, please know that I love you! I love you, please tell me you love me back.

And finally, in Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, the main love language is time.

Time is one of the greatest sources of horrors in ORV. Eternities upon eternities of suffering, being trapped for ages in the same, hopeless loop, wishing for everything to just stop.

And yet, time is also the greatest gift characters give to each other.

Because the wounds Dokja suffered as a child, and then again and again through his whole life…. They need time to heal. They need so much time. They will probably take forever.

So let them take forever.

Despite how much pain and worry he causes his companions by giving up on himself over and over again, his companions never give up on him. And he doesn’t understand why!! He doesn’t think he’s worth it. But it’s not his choice, it’s theirs. And they will go through as many tries, as much pain, as much time as it takes, before they can finally save him.

I love you, so I will wait fifty years for you. I love you, so I will live through thousands of lifetimes to find you. I love you, so I will read and reread your story for the rest of time, just to keep you alive.

The wall closes in, one letter at a time.

the thing is that orv is a 1.1 million long character study under the banner of an action fantasy novel. and it justifies that length by making almost Every Fucking Thing in it some sort of reflection or illumination of the strange dark corners of kim dokja's twisted mind

I hate to be the bringer of bad news but there's nothing I can do about it, I guess.

Unfortunately, we might have to wait longer for Ling Qi season 5 updates, because of issues between Tencent platform and Pingzi and her staff.

Pingzi posted on her private WeChat account a letter to the fans of Ling Qi, saying that since July 2024, her team didn't get any royalties from the Tencent platform. What's worse, due to internal Tencent problems, her previous editors have stopped working with Tencent.

I've translated and posted the whole letter from Pingzi to readers below.

It's a pretty bad situation at the moment and we unfortunately can't do much besides staying patient and waiting for more news.

To be honest, I did notice that Tencent started to become quite annoying, but I thought that they were "just" closing themselves off from foreigners. But not paying the author for several months? That's unbelievable.

So as upsetting as the situation is for everyone, we can't do much besides hoping that the situation somehow resolves and Pingzi will get the money she's due soon. Because until that happens, we'll probably won't get the manhua updates 😞😞

I be checking the WeChat account and post here whenever I'll learn something about the future of Ling Qi.

Sometimes brain decides to randomly remind me of how Seigi fantasized about marrying his male friend when he was younger and was convinced that’s a totally Straight(TM) thing to fantasize about. This man is such a fucking disaster (affectionate).

So I got a new bookshelf made and then made it highly impractical because I wanted to display as much merch as I could, but I do like it.

And today’s new addition: Kami Kuzu Idol!

This is the bottom most shelf so you can actually see stuff when viewing from above.
