I'M ELABORATING BC I PROMISED I WOULD

Similarities between orv and link click's main dynamics

orv and link click s2 spoilers warning for those who haven't read/watched either (you totally should btw)

Vortex gives Yoo Joonghyuk's regressions. There, I said it, WATCH IT AGAIN WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE IN MIND /lh. At this point in time (aka after the S1 events) Cheng Xiaoshi has come to the realization that bad things keep happening over and over no matter how hard he tries to change them, no matter how many times he attempts to just do things right. Make everything better. And most of the time, there's the added guilt of things being worse BECAUSE of him. He's been punished for trying, for not giving up on the world, and the tension and guilt and regret have started to build up inside of him like a shadow at first, but turn into something much more dangerous and real as time passes. It then takes a toll on his mental health. *points* yoo joonghyuk

Vortex is Link Click S2's opening song btw

Two (three w/ S2?) B&W-themed mfers repeatedly try to change fate yet are (for the most part) powerless to stop tragedy from occurring: the saga. Also found family

The 'save the world vs save a loved one' trope is also present in both cases, with the whole yoohankim dynamic throughout the novel and the possible regression to save lu guang in Link Click [which S2 SPOILERS AFTER THIS → didn't end up happening but when I wrote it down in my notes it was a possibility so I'm leaving it here too]

One of the two is presented as the 'logical one, brains of the operation' (Kdj, Lu Guang), while cxs and yoohan are the 'driven by emotion' guys—whatever that emotion may be. However, not too long after having those traits be established, there's a shift; we learn that the logical characters can make vital mistakes due to their repressed/hidden emotions (kdj's fourth wall/unreliability and all those Lu Guang theories going around 👀 mans is a mystery). At the same time, the supposedly emotion-driven characters begin to show their smart side where the logical characters fail, via strategizing in cxs and hsy's case and the simple-yet-effective-and-reasonable plans on yjh's side. *In Ken voice* they're not Just Ken One, both people can take the other's place in their dynamic if need be, and that's probably why they work so well together imo

↑ Kind of unrelated but yjh thinking "what would kdj do in this situation?" Will never Not be heart wrenching and so so so important to me. anyway moving on bc this isn't supposed to be a yjh post lmao

Now that we've established the yjh/hsy = cxs and kdj= lu guang, allow me to say the opposite is also true, especially during the first ≈170 chapters of orv >:) because while one (kdj/cxs) is seemingly the one who wears their heart on their sleeve, the other (lu guang/yjh) is supposedly the cold one that thinks of the greater good instead of 'being affected by their personal emotions' [this is part of their facade and doesn't really apply once you get more into the story but I thought it interesting how both stories go from this to the actual opposite dynamic]. In han sooyoung's case she's a mix of both, because while she seems to be pursuing something out of her own selfishness, she does let emotions get in the way (balance??)

Both groups go through a divorce arc at one point /j AND IT'S OVER THE SAME THING TOO, LIKE- trust has been broken, one feels betrayed, yadda yadda, then they make up and become gayer than ever, we been knew

✨ abandonment issues ✨ did you mean: all of them, openly or secretly.

"How far would they go to ___?" Is tested over and over again, and it's done in a masterful way. It's not a matter of how much they care, because it's repeatedly established that they care, they care too much, to the point they'd sacrifice a lot to get to their end goal. The question is how far they're willing to go...and how far others will let them. How much can they sacrifice before one of them decides it's enough? Resolve is tested, interests clash, drama ensues and it's all because they care too much about different things...different people.

Your honor I love them

@spaceangst tagging you because I'm not sure how reblogs work atm and didn't know if it'd automatically reach you or not rhskrnsk sorry for tagging

orv yoohankim au but it’s link click trio feat. dokja as cheng xiaoshi, sooyoung as qiao ling, and joonghyuk as lu guang

[skzfaker]

oh wonderful!! wooyoung yelling "my son" is one of my favorite moments too. lol I'd scream about my ult and the performances he gave during kingdom but I don't want to reveal myself, I will simply be shrouded in mystery 👻 it was so excellent having both ateez and skz there, I enjoyed it tremendously

👀👁️👀 we'll see what I do! Planning on starting the fic after finals are over lol. I have exactly a week and then I am free

I AM YOU LOL. we're the same person actually. Wolfgang was such a cool concept but I agree, vampires ftw

jskdkfks for the music stuff, thank u :') I rly love music quite a lot, it just Connects with my brain haha. I'm not going to say exactly but there's a rather cursed version of a stray kids song that I transposed and then posted om Tumblr. It's a song in a minor key and I made it in a major key. It's horrible. It's awful. It's wonderful

as for other genres, I rly love rap and classical. Lmao quite the difference, huh? I also like rock a whole lot. The band Paramore is 10000/10

And I haven't done any covers of ateez yet rip, it's quite hard to and also I'd have no groups/orchestras that would play them so I don't rly see a reason for why I should write them. Also the rap parts are harder to transpose 😭😔

AND YEAH I'LL SHARE W U MY PC COLLECTION HAHAH. it's actually quite easy to get photo cards, I use Mercari and buy them from there. I have so many of My Boy he's just very neat

who do u think My Boy is?

- 🎅

awww true tho - my friend (who's a fantasy) and i used to stream the episodes live together and rooting for more than one group was fun! seeing her react live to SF9 wearing jeans of all things on sports day was almost as entertaining as sports day itself HAHAHA.

eyy can't wait! i'm still counting down the days until i can take a vacation too, and in the meantime, also planning what to make for the person assigned to me...yes after making how many graphics last week i'm kinda burned out ( ;∀;) also these are the graphics i made for both my esports team/tumblr namesake and my jpop group bc ngl i'm proud af of them HAHA 👀

...okay i'm sorry but i read "cursed" and "stray kids song" and i immediately thought of hip fuck sin (soz han) HAHAHAHA. now i'm REALLY curious about what your transposed song sounds like tho...i've heard major songs transposed to minor keys before but i don't think i've heard the reverse. i'm 1000% sure you're right tho - it's bound to sound wonderful (≧▽≦) if i dig through your blog, will i find it? oooh and what song did you choose?

AHHHH I AM YOU INTENSIFIES. I LOVE ROCK TOO! and omg paramore - i still jam to their songs to this day, though my ult group is my chemical romance. man, this combined with being past twihards - we never grew out of our emo phases, have we.

oohh i hope you and some band friends can work to cover an ateez song one day. ngl an orchestra version of...idk - inception or pirate king, maybe - would sound EPIC. though yeah i wish you luck working out how to do the string versions of the rap parts lol. if you had all the people you need available, what song would you cover first?

nice - i get my stuff from mercari too! ...just not the PCs i guess HAHAHA. i got overwhelmed seeing the complete collection of all skz PCs since time immemorial - i don't think i can catch up with that anymore ( ;∀;) to make up for it tho, i'm thinking of just printing some of my graphics and keeping them in a binder for the lolz. the danceracha posters i made is on the list of stuff to be printed, and definitely the skzoo game of thrones banners. speaking of merch tho...are you going to preorder skz's seasons greetings? or do you have ateez's bought already?

okay i asked my atiny friend who she thinks your boy is, and she guesses it's mingi because that's her boy HAHAHA. how off the mark am i/is she?

also random question for today - what's your favorite skz MV?
