#and yoo sangah too

[sleepyminty]

Behind every disaster gay couples there’s always a short level-headed,angry, 100% tired girlboss (or a girlfail in disguise) who keeps everything in check whenever their divorce made it into everyone’s problem. And behind every girlboss is their emotional support bimbo who make sure their partner didnt explode for dealing with that said gay couple shit. This is my favorite ot4

the ORV comic adaption is so pretty. it's always hit me as the perfect style for the narrative, atmosphere, comedy. never once have I found myself disappointed with how something shown was adapted, most of the time it's better than how I imagined (Lee Hyunsung/Jung Heewon hug you will ALWAYS be famous).

idk if y'all remember that instance when yoo sangah decided to read all of dokja's memories, a move which made a lot of people hate her, but, here's my take on that: yoo sangah is a person who knows how to take risks, or at least she tries to know how to assess them correctly, and, you know, to have a relationship it is necessary to take those risks, especially if you want to get closer to someone else, if you want to let them know you're there for them. Then, what if the person you wanted to get closer to and so badly understand is Kim Dokja? The guy who's so deeply ashamed of himself he has to hide behind a wall, the guy who feels so proud of not letting anyone get to know him because he believes no one can nor will ever understand him so it's better to push them away, the coworker who paired up with you on your first interview, the coworker who kept quiet while you put pepper onto the coffe machine and even took the effort to move the cameras so that they wouldn't fire you, he, the one who talks to you without the intention to get something back nor seeing you as an object, and who also seems to be okay with you despite feeling so distant, Dokja, Kim Dokja, your dear friend.

And then he sacrifices himself. Over and over again. What would you do then? Yoo Sangah can't just stand there doing nothing, watching him suffer silently. She's an empath, she wants to be there for people, and he's her friend, she has to do something about it, let him know all KimCom is there for him, that she's there for him, but he's being so stubbornly distant with everyone. It is also at this point of the novel where Dokja's debating whether to tell them that they're all characters of a novel, and therefore being much more distant. What is there to do for yoo sangah? It's a desperate situation, and such desperate times require bigger risks to take in for the relationship; to read dokja's memories is dangerous, it is to overstep his boundaries and privacy, dokja may never want to talk to her again, because it is a betrayal in itself. Yoo sangah knows all of this, but she's willing to take the risk, for him. It is incredibly selfish as well, but it is the only way out for her, the only way she feels she can reach out to him beyond that wall.

orv aladdin au! with kim dokja as aladdin (conman supreme), han sooyoung as fellow thief (also aladdin), yoo sangah as jasmine (trapped by her family), yoo joonghyuk as ysh's bodyguard

kdj 'cons' yjh into being distracted while hsy sneaks into ysh's room to steal jewellery and then ends up panic-flirting with ysh

jhw and lhs are there too! heewon is a robin hood steal-from-rich-to-give-to-poor and hyunsung is the guard that sort of lets her but also doesnt because its for a good cause. (poor guy has 'turns a blind eye to injustice' attribute canonically). on the other hand sooyoung is absolutely DECKED in the face when she tries to get into the treasury or any other place.

they're all friends and sort-of not, especially after hsy flirts her way into becoming co-queens with ysh.

lee jihye and kim namwoon! jihye is joonghyuk's squire (officially) and namwoon is also his squire (not officially) - dokja is some sort of weird uncle to namwoon (the aus where theyre distantly related are always funny to me) and if bribed at the right time, knw is swayed pretty easily into letting his weird-ass uncle get into the royal palace.

yjh actually knows about this - hes always the one being sent to go after kdj - but kdj somehow always escapes the cells and manages to reclaim whatever loot he'd been trying to steal when yjh sometimes catches him.

the kids (gilyoung, yoosung, biyoo) are all kdj's little apprentice minions that hsy begrudgingly helps train and look after as well. yoosung actually wants to be a knight (of some sort, more about just protecting people) and kdj indulges her on it by introducing her to jihye through namwoon.

gilyoung and biyoo very much want to follow in kdj's footsteps, on the other hand and have a fun little dynamic where biyoo for a while echoes a lot of what gilyoung does and in an older brother kind of way gilyoung is SO angry at this.

jang hayoung is also in the web of kim dokja's weird-ass long distance relatives, but is a NOBLE?! very funny, hayoung finds out she has a weird uncle and cousin in the city and forces them both to visit sangah with her at some point, and its very awkward when the infamous conman of your kingdom and the kid he bribes to let him into your palace - who is also a KNIGHT of your palace, are talking over tea.

through a series of events that involve saving sangah from some ransomer (yjh is indisposed), kdj gets a badge of HONOUR and also a queen's pardon for most of his crimes before he disappears back into the shadows. he and sangah are now besties but hsy WILL NOT let him ever live it down that he ever went that 'good.' kdj goes on a crime spree at his nearest convenience to bump back up his tally of crimes and wanted-ness.

you 🫵 go watch my animatic now

[waitineedaname]

orv is making me feel like I've been put in a food processor so I'm coping by constructing the kimcom polycule configurations in my brain

[koifoxes]

me disliking han sooyung because im pulling a kim dokja with kim namwoon with her writes the story for itself lol

[vethiah]

han "do you think I'm an emotionless monster?" sooyoung and yoo "I'm not such a good person" sangah will always get me. I think about them once a day minimum. my Roman empire.

True friendship is when there's a 2,000 coin bounty on your friend which you joke about claiming by killing him unless he pays you 2 million coins while also standing in a defensive formation around him against evil landlords out for your friend's blood and the said bounty

[lee-hakhyun]

yjh had a neck pillow? a neck pillow with a cute dokkaebi on it? kim dokja please dont be talking out of your ass this time

[orviposition]

do you guys think the reason hsy admires ysa's long and elegant fingers is bcs she wants them in h*siren blaring noises*

Okay so I'm just going to post a rant about my experience in ORV shipping fandom. This probably does not have to be said but I avoided this fandom for a while because I hated it and I hated the harassment I got on Twitter from Joongdok shippers. And now I just want to talk about it so I can hopefully get back into ORV and get this over with.

After my negative experiences with some Joongdok shippers, now I only ship Kim Dokja in a polyamorous all genders way. He is not gay for me, he is pan or bi or aro or ace. Or all of that at the same time, I don't give a fuck as long as he is not a monosexual guy that mono shippers want to gatekeep. Because the alternative is uncomfortable to me after I got harassed for not agreeing with Joongdok shippers.

Joongdok shippers harassed me because I did not agree with these characters being gay and jealous towards the female characters being shipped with them. Joongdok shippers are so monogamously possessive in their shipping that they treat other shippers badly out of a sense of possessiveness that they project unto the characters. They're also overdramatic with permanent top or bottom sex positions to the point of getting angry against Dokhyuk fans. That entitlement ruined the fandom for me.

I got so pissed at Joongdok shippers that I can't ship them anymore unless it's polyamorous with Sooyoung, Sangah, Heewon, Hyunsung, Seolhwa. I've written fics all about polyamorous Dokja being loved by all of them and not a single monogamous Joongdok.

I ship Dokja with multiple characters of different genders as a versatile switch who can fuck and will get fucked because he is an opportunistic hedonistic guy. Joongdok shippers hate that and went out of their way to dogpile on me. And nobody stops these Joongdok shippers because almost all of them are like this.

I really hate it that I lost interest in ORV because Joongdok shippers ruined ORV and also Joongdok for me.
