shit talkin' up all night

for @steddiesongfics song 'for the first time' by the script

rated m | 1,469 words | cw: alcohol, arguing | tags: angst with a happy ending, established relationship, robin buckley deserves an award for saving their relationship everyone say thank you robin, they're in love, eddie is just dumb for a bit

◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️

The arguing started when Steve suggested they move back in with Wayne.

They were struggling; Eddie wasn't an idiot, he could see the told his unemployment was taking on their financial situation. They were able to cover rent from Steve's paycheck, but they had to cut back on literally everything else. No more date nights, no more trips to visit Dustin, no more buying the good bacon for breakfast.

It wasn't for lack of trying, it's just that Eddie only had a GED and no marketable skills outside of playing music. Any job he could get would make miserable.

"I just think if we take some time to save up, maybe you'll be able to find something you like and then it'll be better," Steve shrugged.

"I'm not moving back in with Wayne. He did enough for me already."

"Then I'll get another job."

"No, you're not working two jobs. I'll just...go work at the McDonald's."

"Eds, you would hate it there."

"Well, it's a paycheck."

Steve sighed and walked away.

And then it got worse.

Eddie did find a job. He worked part time at the music lesson school. It didn't pay nearly enough, but it was something.

Until one of the parents found out he was working there and threw a fit and he got fired. The owner apologized, but said if it came down to his business and Eddie, he had to let Eddie go.

Back to square one.

Steve was too understanding. It was frustrating.

Eddie started arguments just to make him mad.

Whatever would push him: leaving all the dirty dishes in the sink, staying out late without letting him know, buying the good bacon for breakfast when it wasn't in the budget.

It did start to work eventually.

"Why are you doing this?" Steve asked eventually, after two nights of Eddie coming home late for no other reason than to make Steve upset. He hadn't even done anything, just walked around downtown for a couple hours and thought about how much of a failure he'd been.

"I'm not doing anything," he'd say back.

Steve would push.

Eddie would push back.

Little things turned into big things.

And then Eddie came home drunk.

He hadn't even been to a bar, he hadn't been with anyone else. He'd gotten one six pack of beer and realized halfway through it that he hadn't eaten all day and kept drinking anyway.

The buzz was great until he was stumbling through the front door, waking Steve up from his half-slumber on the couch of the apartment.

Steve didn't even argue. He just shook his head and went to their bedroom, closing the door and making it clear he didn't want to be around Eddie.

The next morning, Steve was already gone when Eddie managed to roll off the couch.

"Steve's not gonna say it, so I will," Robin's voice made him trip over his boots on the floor. She was sitting in the armchair, glaring at him. "You're pushing him away because you don't think you deserve someone who is patient and loving. He used to try that shit with me, with the kids, with Hopper. Started shit just to see if we'd leave. Pretended he was the only one who could deal with his problems."

Eddie blinked back at her, vision blurry from sleep and unshed tears. He wasn't gonna cry in front of Robin.

"I could understand why he did it. He had shitty parents and shitty friends before all of us. Took him some time to get used to being cared for." Robin leaned forward. "But you've had Wayne for a long time. Us. Steve. So what is it that's causing this? Why are you hurting Steve? Why are you hurting yourself?"

Eddie had been to therapy for a month or so after everything. The government insisted on it. He'd even done what they asked of him. Talked about everything that happened, talked about his childhood, talked about being gay in a town that thought being gay was bad enough to send you to hell, but somehow still the least of Eddie's crimes.

The therapist told him it seemed like he was always preparing himself to get hurt, even with the people that he did trust. That was the last time he went to the therapist.

"Because this is all I'll ever be, Robin! Steve should get out while he can, find someone who isn't fuckin' useless. Someone who can get a real job or go to school or something."

"Is this because you can't be on your feet for more than a couple hours?"

Eddie was silent.

"Do you think that means you can't do things? Do you think Steve wants to watch you suffer more than you already have?"

Eddie shook his head once.

"Then here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna shower and clean up the house a little. You're gonna cook that chicken dish Steve loves so much because I went to the deli to get fresh ingredients for you. You're gonna open that bottle of wine I did not steal from Chrissy's restaurant. You're gonna talk to him."

"Okay."

"And then tomorrow, you're gonna come interview for a job at the museum. They're opening a new exhibit called Rock Through The Ages and they're looking for someone to do tours. It's four hours a day, five days a week. Pay is more than you made anywhere else plus tips. Interview is a formality, they already know you're qualified."

"Robin, I-"

"And you're gonna shut up. I love you, too, Eddie. And I love that dingus who loves you. So get your shit together so you can both be as happy as I know you can be."

Eddie hugged her for a long time, probably much longer than Robin would have ever allowed him to if it weren't for the circumstances.

He cleaned himself up, he cleaned up the apartment, he cooked dinner, and he opened the bottle of wine.

Neither of them were big fans of wine, but this was a $100 bottle. Eddie would drink every last drop.

When Steve came through the door at 4:39 on the dot, just like he did every week day, Eddie was holding a glass of wine out to him with a small smile.

"Eds? What's this?"

"Been a while since we've had a date night. Thought maybe we deserved it."

Steve stared back at him blankly, then let out a sob and walked over to him, burying his face in his neck.

"Sh, it's okay, sweetheart. I'm right here," Eddie wrapped him up in his arms, kissing his head. "I'm here."

"You promise?" Steve's broken voice nearly tore Eddie in two. How had he let it get this bad?

"I promise, Stevie. I'm sorry I've been somewhere else in my head."

Steve pulled away, sniffling and looking around the room as he realized that dinner was already set out on the bar and the dishes were done.

"You did all this for me?"

"For us."

"Is that chicken cacciatore?" Steve walked to the plate in his usual spot and smiled. "You made this?"

"I did. Hopefully it's edible. If not, I already have the menu for the Italian place down the road by the phone," Eddie pulled Steve's chair out for him and then sat down next to him.

They talked through dinner, mostly about Steve's day, and then about Eddie's. He brought up the interview and Steve beamed like the sun.

"That sounds perfect for you, Eds."

"I know. I think it'll be great."

The bottle of wine went down easy. Maybe a little too easy.

By the time they realized it was gone, they were giggling and leaning on each other, cheeks red and eyes glazed over with a buzz that was more than just the high alcohol content.

Steve leaned in to kiss him.

Eddie leaned in to kiss him back.

And for the first time in a long time, they stayed up all night, talking, kissing, touching in ways they'd nearly forgotten how to do.

When Eddie got the job, he sent Robin flowers. Nothing fancy, the pay wasn't that good. But he had to thank her for getting his head out of his ass and his ass in shape.

Steve didn't ask when he saw the bill for it, just smiled and kissed the top of Eddie's head while he got ready for his first day of work.

"I love you. Good luck today," Steve said as he fixed his glasses before grabbing his keys to head to his job at the youth center downtown.

"Love you too. Pizza tonight?"

"Sounds good, love. Wine?"

Eddie nodded towards the bottle of $3 wine from the liquor store.

Steve laughed. "I'll grab some Tylenol on my way home."

Bonten! Koko Headcanons

💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴

◼️I headcanon that Koko isnt really into violence like the rest of bonten is and tries to avoid it as much as he can in such an org.

◼️Koko has nervous twitches and tends to pick at his own fingers or chew on his lip

◼️Sometimes he gets lost in his own head and will start picking his nails until they bleed or bite his lip open-putting a soft hand on his and giving a soft smile is enough to snap him out of it.

◼️Will make you sign a prenup which has you a bit confused but little do you know it says in his half that theres a trust set aside for you if you ever were to seperate to make sure that no matter what you'll still be taken care of.

◼️Speaking of money...Koko is stingy on everything except for you.

◼️Mans will justify not eating lunch to 'save money' (not like he needs to) but the second he gets home will go online and order your shopping cart with same day delivery and take you out for dinner at an upscale restaurant

◼️No matter where you're headed he always has a hand around your waist or on the small of your back

◼️Absolute hype man. Will never feel self conscious about him.

◼️Will never NEVER take his promise/engagement/wedding band off and expects the same out of you

◼️Not particularly found of children but if you want one or two he will happily raise them as best as possible with you while trying to seperate himself and his family from bonten as best as possible

◼️Loves when you do his hair.

◼️I saw another hc that kokos hair has naturally turned gray due to stress and I 10000% agree. My own personal hc is that sometimes when his shaved bits brow out and he cant be bothered to shave it down yet he braids it into small cornrows till he has the time

◼️With that being said,,, He would love your help with either dying his hair back to black on occasion as well as shaving and braiding his hair when needed. Yes he's loaded and could go to a pro stylist but 1-he's stingy 2-he claims he doesn't have the time 3-he prefers spending time with you

◼️Very gentle towards you. Soft touches and kisses and trying to protect you from any harm either from his work or anything in your life.

💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴 💴

wanted to add also-koko is the passenger princess and prefers when you drive as well as wants to control the music.

Sorry this took so long guys but I really hope u like it

lmk if u want a part 2 or anything else

Im planning on doing a fullfic soon but in the meantime please send a message or an ask with any request!! Im currently wriiting for any tokyo rev (sfw)

Thank you all again xoxo

Taixu IS an orv fan song (very rough sorry everyone)

(taixu by Lasah and Sasakure.UK)

Ok so like TAIXU HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD AND NOT A GOOD ONE A PAINFUL ONE IT'S SO PAINFUL BUT AT THE SAME TIME I'M OBSESSED???? LIKE IF I THINK OF IT AS AN ORV REFERENCE - WHICH BTW IT TOTALLY IS - I MEAN IF YOU KNOW THE LORE YOU CAN'T TELL ME IT'S A WALKING ORB REFERENCE LIKE THIS FR COULD BE A FAN SONG-

AND MY EVIDENCE FOR THIS IS FIRST OF ALL THE WHITE CROW GOING "You need to wind the world, until the end" LIKE ISN'T THIS BASICALLY OLDEST DREAM (KDJ) HE CHOSE TO STAY IN THE SUBWAY BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO MAKE SURE HIS WORLD GETS "The end" AND HE'S THE ONE WHO HAVE YJH THE ABILITY TO WELL UNWIND THE WORLD RIGHT?? HE TAKES IT AS HIS RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE HE WANTS TO SEE THE EPILOGUE FOR HIS FAVOURITE NOVEL - WHAT SAVED HIM - BUT HE CAN'T SEE HIMSELF IN IT-

SECONDLY, THE WHOLE "The first end came so suddenly you couldn't say goodbye to me.

The tenth end came with agony, I thought that we were meant to be.

The hundredth end was simply just an apathetic day for me.

The thousandth end was ecstasy, the people begged for me to bleed."

LIKE IF THIS DOESN'T SCREAM YJH LITERALLY WHAT DOES???? IT TOTALLY REPRESENTS HIS REGRESSION DEPRESSION THAT WAS MENTIONED SO DEEPLY IN THE NOVEL LIKE THIS IS LITERALLY HIM- AND THE WHOLE "couldn't say goodbye" IS LIKE HOW HE sSACRIFICED EVERYTHING TO SEE KDJ BUT DOESN'T GET TO SEE HIM UNTIL MANY REGRESSIONS LATER WHEN HE HAS FORGOTTEN WHO KDJ IS AND WHY HE EVEN STARTED HIS JOURNEY (Thouvht ig that's kdj's fault) ALSO HOW HE BECOMES APATHETIC TOWARDS DEATH AND KILLING HIS COMPANIONS FOR THE GREATER GOOD LIKE??? AND ALSO THE WAY IT WAS ECSTASY BECAUSE PEOPPE BEGGED FOR THEM TO BLEED I CAN ABSOLUTELY SEE THAT APPLIES TO YJH ESPECIALLY DURING THE 1863 ARC WHERE HE SACRIFICES HIMSELF- ALSO HOW HE CLAIMS TO HAVE GROWN APATHETIC TO KILLING HIS COMPANIONS WE KNOW YJH ISN'T COMPLETELY AND HE STILL SUFFERS-

OK THEN THERE IS "Remember when I used to be you?" LIKE???? THIS IS LITERALLY 49% 51% KDJ THIS IS SO 49% 51% KDJ LIKE THIS LITERALLY IS ABOUT - HOW KDJ WATCHES THE (Almost) OTHER HALF OF HIM LIVE OUT WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HIS LIFE HAPPILY WITH HIS COMPANIONS- THIS IS LITERALLY OD WATCHING THE OTHER KDJ AND LONGING FOR BEING WITH HIS COMPANIONS AGAIN?????

THEN THERE IS "Unwind the world and your nightmare's gone" SO LIKE OBVIOUSLY THIS FITS YJH???? LIKE IS THERE EVEN A QUESTIONS ABOUT IT?? IT BASICALLY REPRESENTS HOW WHEN THE WORLD GETS TOO BAD HE RESETS TO "SAVE IT" AND SAVE HIS COMPANIONS AND REACH THE END (Tho he has already reached that end but that little ungrateful mf--) I LITERALLY REFUSE TO BELIEVE THEY LITERALLY AREN'T TALKING ABOUT KDJ

THEN THERE IS "No, I can't leave the world by itself it needs me until the end" SCREAMS LITERALLY WITH BOLD LETTERS ON A BILLBOARD ON *MUTIPLE* BILLBOARDS OD AND KDJ- LIKE THE WHOLE "THE END" THING IS LITERALLY A KDJ REFERENCE AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE MY MIND BECAUSE HIS "◼️◼️" IS PRETTY MUCH "The end" OR COULD ALSO BE "Eternity" PLUS LIKE THE WHOLE KDJ SUFFERING ALONE JUST TO SEE THE ENDING FOR HIS FAVOURITE NOVEK THAT'S LITERALLY A QUOTE RIGHT OF THE NOVEL AND YOU. CAN'T. CHANGE. MY. MIND.

"Remember when we used to be 2" OKOK LISTEN TO ME THIS IS SO OBVIOUSLY 49 51 KDJ OBVIOUSLY SO SO OBVIOUSLY I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT BUT WHY CAN I KINDA SEE THIS BEING YJH AND SP TOO??? LIKE SP THINKING ABOUT HOW YJH ISN'T "Him" AND HOW HE WILL NEVER BE THE YJH THAT IS KDJ'S COMPANION BUT THAT'S KINDA A STRETCH IK BUT LIKE OBVIOUSLY THIS IS 49 51 I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT

THEN THERE IS THE BLACK CROW THAT COMES ALONG "you're not chosen to wind the world, wait for the end" I'M GOING TO GET INTO THIS A LOT MORE LATER WHEN I COMPARE THE LAST LINES BUT DOESN'T THIS KINDS SCREAM YJH TO KDJ?? OR JUST KIMCOM IN GENERAL I COULD TOTALLY SEE THIS BEING HSY OR JHW YK MINUS THE IDIOT BC OF COURSE THEY WOULD SAY IDIOT BUT LIKE THIS BEING KIMCOM TRYING TO GET TO KDJ TRYING TO CONVINCE HIM THAT HE IS NEEDED FOR THE EPILOGUE

THEN THERE IS "The hundreds the and millions are depending on what I believe."

THIS COULD VERY EASILY BE HSY OR YJH- LIKE HSY OBVIOUSLY CHOOSING THE WRITE THE NOVEL AND PRETTY MUCH CHOOSING HIGHSCHOOL KDJ OVER IDK YK *THE WORLD⁉️⁉️* LIKE SHE REALLY BE LIKE PRIORITIES IG AND THEN VERY OBVIOUSLY YJH BECAUSE HE'S THE PROTAGONIST THE "Hero" AND HIS CHOICES AFFECT ALL OF THOSE LIVES BECAUSE HE'S THE STRONGEST THEY DEPEND ON HIM AND WHAT HE BELIEVES WHICH IS WHY SYS HATES HIM SO MUCH FOR HIS CHOICES BUT CAN'T STOP RESPECTING HIM- THERE IS ALSO WHEN YJH DECIDED TO RESET THE HAPPY ENDING THAT KDJ WORKED SO HARD TO GET FOR HIM BUT THREW IT ALL AWAY FROM KDJ HIMSELF

"I buried him so deeply with the words that always haunted me.

His eyes reminded someone who I used to long and grieve."

THIS IS LITERALLY YJH. LIKE HOW HE SUFFERS THROUGH SO MUCH JUST FOR KDJ JUST TO FORGET WHO HE IS AND HOW MUCH HE MEANS TO HIM- HIM TRYING SO HARD TO GET TO KDJ AND FINALLY GETTING TO HIM AND NOT BEING ABLE TO REALIZE WHAT HE FINALLY GOT BECAUSE HE HAD HAD FORGOTTEN WHAT HIS GOAL WHAT AND WHO IT ALL WAS FOR AND JUST WENT THROUGH THE ENDLESS CYCLE OF REGRESSION AND REGRESSION- TO FINALLY GET TO "The end of the scenarios"

THEN THERE IS "so tell me what's the "end of the world'

The crows were both myself.

Or...

was..

it you?"

AND THIS IS WHERE THE WHOLE THEORY COMES TOGETHER AND I THINK THE WHITE CROW IS SP AND THE BLACK CROW IS YJH OR KIMCOM IG BUT SINCE THE WHITE CROW IS SP I'M GOING TO SAY THE BLACK CROW IS YJH- THIS IS BECAUSE THE WHITE CROW IS THE WHITE CROW IS TRYING TO KDJ (Not actually kdj but yk) TO STAY AND BELIEVE THE WORLD IS UP TO THEM RIGHT?? AND WELL I GUESS I FEEL THE WHITE CROW IS TALKING TO OD SPECIFICALLY AND DOESN'T THAT MAKE PERFECR SENSE FOR SP?? TECHNICALLY WHAT HE WANTS IS KDJ TO BE WITH HIM AND TECHNICALLY HIM BEING IN THE SUBWAY AS OD IS IN HIS FAVOR AND HE WANTS HIM TO STAY THAT WAY YK WITH HIM AND MAKING HIM BELIEVE THAT HE NEEDS TO STAY THERE TO SEE THE END THAT HE LONGS FOR-

AND THE BLACK CROW I'VE ALREADY EXPLAINED THIS BREIFLY BUT YJH (And Kimcom obviously) ARE TRYING TO GET KDJ OUT OF THAT SUBWAY FOR HIM TO BE PART OF THE STORY- THEY NEED HIM TO STOP BELIEVING THAT HE ISN'T NEEDED IN THE STORY AND THAT HE HAS TO BE THERE TO SEE THE END AND SAVE THE WORLD (Or his companions bc I wouldn't say the world per se is his priority) SO TELLING HIM THAT HE WASN'T MEANT TO WIND THE WORLD AND THAT HE SHOULD "Wait for the end" WOULD BE LIKE TELLING HIM THAT HE NEEDS TO SEE THROUGH THE END WITH THE REST OF THEM AND LIVE THROUGH THE REST OF THEIR LIVES TOGETHER

AND THEN THERE IS "both the crows were myself.

Or...

Was...

It you"

THIS FITS MY THEORY SO SO SO WELL BECAUSE THE "The crows were me" COULD BE LIKE OD HALLUCINATING AND IMAGINING HIS COMPANIONS (More specifically yjh) DUE TO HIS LONELINESS- I MEAN HE IS CALLED THE OLDEST DREAM BECAUSE OF A "DREAM" SO IT COULD BE OD TRYING TO CONVICE HIMSELF IT WAS ALL HALLUCINATIONS OR THAT HE WAS IMAGINING IT BUT THEN THE "Or was it you" IS SO PERFECT FOR THR CROWS BEING YJH AND SP I DON'T THINK I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY- I also just want to mention as a quick addition to why so and yjh as the crows was so good bc I compared the *white* crow to sp who is known for his white coat and the black crow to yjh who is obviously known for his *black* coat which is

So to sum this up TAIXU IS LITERALLY AN ORV FAN SONG AND THE WHITE CROW IS SP THE BLACK CROW IS YJH AND IT CYCLES KDJ AND YJH POV THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SONG.

If you're as insane about this goobers please say something 🙏🙏🙏

<CH 555. EP 1. DO NOT TAKE PRIZES FROM SUSPICIOUS MEN IN WHITE COATS AND SUNGLASSES.>

translation by @lee-hakhyun <33

• This starting scene had me quaking in my boots even the first time i read it.

So, Han Sooyoung is now talking to the readers across the universe who read her story (ugh why not me?)

“her unlucky tone” ORV has a lot of ‘unlucky’ things if I put my mind to it. specially a certain reader’s unlucky smile. even thinking about it makes me want to punch a wall, so let’s forget about it.

So apparently Sooyoung sent a short story to the cloud. I wonder which side story it is? Bc this side story is totally not gonna be short, unless she’s comparing it with ORV or TWSA. Hm I wonder which one…? (It would be insane if it was the Mia side story)

So a “foreign war” (is it a war between universes eh????) is about to begin. We’ve no fucking clue what that means. But ty for this bomb Sooyoung, im totally not worried for Lee Hakhyun now…

• A-Are you telling me Gilyoung has the capacity to eat locusts?? (Not that I doubt it, ofc)

And ofc Joonghyuk got his boots from Doc Marten’s (I’ve never shopped for boots so idfk what I’m talking about)

Protagonist swag 😔👊

Reading this passage makes me feel some type of way I can’t explain. So I can’t write for it. eugejdhwjekdjuduw.

• One reader asks Han Sooyoung about Kim Dokja, the question that we’ve been dying to know the answer to. But in typical cliche fashion, the screen blanks before she can answer.

Hm it’s interesting how LHH compares his feelings to HSY’s. He claims that if she was real, she’d be feeling the same thing as him even though her mental health is probably far worse than ours atp. It’s gonna get worse bc HSY belittles any “self-proclaimed writer” she meets and calls them a faker bc they do not have the avatar skill. But LHH equates his emotions to her level. My boy…

• Anyway, the hosts have prepared a quiz for the readers. Just like how Kim Dokja received a “gift” from tls123? So fucking sus istg.

The readers answer some weird questions like “How many times did ◼️ appear in the story?” and “what’s the significance of the number 1863?”

Of course, both Lee Hakhyun, and me had no fucking clue what that meant but the readers did.

“1863 is the year the world’s first subway opened, and it symbolises Yoo Joonghyuk’s repeated return to the moving subway.” <- is the response by a reader.

Honestly I was dumbfounded when I googled it up and saw this :

WHAT THE FUCK SINGNSONG???? I thought the answers didn’t matter and they just wanted to kidnap the readers but holy shit???? It’s actually real?!?

I love how SNS are actually dropping in little trivia abt the story and their thoughts thru this side story. I love all this new information. It’s so… mind blowing. They thought it out so well!!

• Hmm Representative Kim Dokja’s analysis… this guy really did all that and is also a part of an organisation that kidnapped readers from a different worldline.

Also Lee Hakhyun immediately acting like he knew tf that was LMAOO 🤣 he’s such a prideful liar i love him,, what a little shit.

• LHH : “Can I say I love this story more than they do?”

Me, absolutely not crying : ugh shut the fuck up shutupshutupshutup

This story is making me more emotional than it should. I’m so sensitive…

• Eventually Ji Eunyu, the editor, answers a question bc she doesn’t wanna be left behind (honestly so relatable…)

Readers crying :’))) bc the story has now ended. They can face reality now. At least they’ll get their prize..?

I’ll never get tired of thinking of LHH thinking deeply about KDJ… something about his attachment to KDJ, him thinking “what would Kim Dokja do?” to face a problem in the scenarios… looking around to find Dokja, bc he’s their shining star in the face of calamity, their saving grace.

And oof, the question asked to him, “Who is the heroine of ORV?”

Can I say Kim Dokja? XDD

Well seriously speaking, i could consider Han Sooyoung… but it is a trick question.

• But LHH answers this. I’m a little conflicted? We know ORV is not supposed to be a romance novel. (which I love about it!!!! abolish romance!!! XD)

But ORV is a love letter from KimCom (and Han Sooyoung primarily) to all of Kim Dokja across the Universe.

“Compared to other main characters, the proportion of appearances was not high”. Uhh is he thinking about Sangah here? I’m honestly lost lmao but to me personally, I can’t see KDJ with any woman other than HSY. Alongside YJH, she’s the one who understands and forgives him. (Not to undermine the significance of his relations with the rest of KimCom bc that’s not the thing I’d do, but HSY plays a pivotal role even later in the side story!)

LHH apparently created this character for KDJ, and there’s… so much to unpack from this statement alone 🤐🤐

• UGHHH STOP.

(she or he or they idc I wanna know who’s his fav character)

Honestly I was clutching my phone so tightly at this point…

• those seats are not going to be empty for too long…

I cant believe ORV has managed to even traumatise me with THEATRE SEATS.

readers collecting snow… bc it snows on Kim Dokja’s bday 🤧🥺🥺 ugh this part is so…

[The Fourth Wall] glimmering on the screen. The readers walked through this Fourth Wall from the Theatre to get into ORV and back to the Theatre they’ll return, although what Theatre it’ll be… we’ll see :)

• Lee Hakhyun’s nickname on the tag is [■■■] :)))

Lee Hakhyun wanting to write a story even for one person who’s left behind ToT I’ll need to make a separate post for this uwaaaa

• and so, Lee Hakhyun is isekai’d into ORV, and this shitshow begins once more, folks.

Krakoa, Year ??: ?? Years After the Salt

Woolf tosses the package across the room like it's a softball--good underhand curve on that! "Here. Got you something on my way back through the Times Square Gate."

It's not fancily wrapped--otherwise he'll get too excited. (Disappointing Daken isn't any fun these days.) The logo is obvious enough slap him right across the face, gently on both cheeks: MANSCAPED ADAMANTIUM PACKAGE 14.0.

KIT INCLUDES:

SUPERNATURAL ◼️ S01E02 ‘WENDIGO’ (September 20, 2005)

This book. This is Dad's single most valuable possession—everything he knows about every evil thing is in here. And he's passed it on to us. I think he wants us to pick up where he left off. You know, saving people, hunting things. The family business.

*You don't have to agree with me. I have been thinking about this for a while and needed to rant. Spoilers ahead.*

Author: Reader transmigrating into a novel and ending up with the protagonist is too cliche. Let's bring the couple in together! That way hero stays with the heroine and the reader can have his own romance.

Fandom: Joongdok! Joongdok! Joongdok! Joo-

Author: .....😶🤬 *Proceeds to take out kdj×yjh moments from webtoon as if that doesn't just make their relationship all the more sus*

I'm with the fandom because I want Yoo Junghyeok to have a happy ◼️◼️ with his most important person too instead of just moving on when his story 'ends'.

---

If morals can crumble moments after scenarios started then so can society's rules about gender and homophobia. In an apocalypse, the number of survivors is already scarce. Finding your love should be a lot more than just what sex they are. Like trusting your backs to each other, sharing your pain, seeking mutual comfort and just staying by that person's side. Yoo Junghyeok lacked that for a long time before Kim Dokja came. So, joongdok qualifies in all those aspects.

They are cutting short his moments with others as well for convenience maybe. But, it takes the appeal of webtoon away for me(of course the images are amazingly high quality and possibly the best any webtoon has had). If I hadn't read the novel, I won't even know about some things that happened.

I remember Jeong Huiwon's thoughts in epilogue when author said how can you love something when you don't know it. But loving a person is about accepting every part of them, dark or bright. It applies to true companionship just as much as romance. I mean even Han Sooyoung rejected Kim Dokja's 49% because she was more familiar with Ways of Survival Kim Dokja. I know Jeong Huiwon loves him in her own way. She did say one of the most heartfelt lines in the novel.

"That man is the world I wish to save."

Then Yoo Sangah who died for Kim Dokja. She has read his innermost thoughts. She is the only person Kim Dokja shared his trauma with willingly in his own words.

So, in the Epilogue when they wrote everyone moved on, I had a hard time agreeing.

And since every member of KimCom has done their absolute best to try and save him with everything they had to offer with their skills, I didn't even view Han Sooyoung writing for Kim Dokja as a romantic development. She is a writer after all. 1863rd version didn't even know him that well for her to fall for him.

(On a serious note, how do they intend to justify the absolute obsession and madness Yoo Junghyeok has for Kim Dokja towards the end if they take out some 'romantic' joongdok moments? It's so senseless. There is too much tension and awkwardness between them for them to be called brothers.)
