#i am not obsessed with orv

[kimdokjathereader]

Me, one of the numerous online depressed community, would like it to be known that I am SO. FUCKING. HAPPY!!! about getting an epilogue to orv.

HOWEVER. My depressed flat butt would ALSO like it to be known that I have no CPU or memory brain space to hold onto any more canon angst… and thus will ignore canon and epilogue except the 3 things:

kdj x yjh dynamic (maybe including hints of hsy)

kdj’s self-justifying ass being kicked in the face by the fourth wall

all orv characters always, ALWAYS orbiting kdj in some way or another.

…thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[caorl]

once again. thinking about the nietzsche orv connections like,, tell me this is not yjh .you can't

[gradually-watermel0n]

cinematic parallels

[loser-o]

My biggest dream in life is to catch even a sliver of the essence of BLACKBOX’s art style (the artist for the orv novel) (mb for disappearing I have not been in the greatest of head spaces lately lolololol)

[nelkey]

Can I ramble to any of you in dms about orv???🙏

I'm currently reading it, and I have some friends (who are also on tumblr) who are reading it too but I'm way ahead of them and I don't wanna spoil them too much. It would be really fun to talk to another person who has read it!!!!

unfortunately if i ever developed the lifeseries orv au in my head in earnest i would in no capacity whatsoever manage to be normal about it at all and like. i mean it

I wonder if you know that when he dreams of love, he sees soft wavy raven locks and orbs that shine gold, the very eyes no renowned painter could ever completely render, and he hears a soothing voice he'd not want to ever wane. He wonders if you knew that when you simply breathe, he loves— he loves with his long and lonely existence from his deepest essence and from his very being.

silly seasons

Okay MORE stuff from my Constellation Gang doc <- all this is canon to the college!CG AU (Part one and two)

A stylish, warm, and dressed-up Constellation Gang in the winter!

Pls observe ABFD in his chunni glory and his tired archangel noona 

"When the cold settles in, spirits are lured out by the chill in the air to steal humanity's warmth... Being able to arm myself more securely is vital, and so I wear these boots, carved from the darkest night."

“THEY’RE JUST BOOTS, YOU DAMN BRAT!”

ABFD: Gets cold, minds it -> wears bomber jackets and parkas (fingerless gloves)

Uriel: Doesn't get cold, doesn't mind it -> wears whatever looks cute; fur-lined crop jackets, makes people feels cold just looking at her (Cute gloves!)

SWK: Gets cold, doesn't mind -> Wears really big floofy jackets, not the long kind, just fluffy as hell. Turtlenecks are irritating (no gloves)

SP: Doesn't get cold, doesn't mind -> Wears long coats and the like (more form fitting); if it has fur, it's itchy, so no floofy outerwear (Usual black gloves)

Onto them in the summer, ft a pool party

uriel relaxing on her huge angel wing pool float, with a glass of lemonade. She wears black swimsuits with lots of ruffles!

SWK splashes everyone and makes ABFD wear floaties (he refuses to take off the bandages). They shove a donut ring on ABFD because he’s shit at swimming 

ABFD: GET IT OFF

URIEL: YOU'RE GONNA DROWN

SP plucking ABFD out of the pool: if you drown one more time you're going to sit with me at the chairs

grumpy wet manchild sulking on the chair while cool lifeguard SP sips his drink and passes ABFD a glass of juice. SP got sunglasses (SWK) and a whistle (Uriel) and grills food for them all. He still has the fucking veil.

re: kim dokja smoochies tag

yes he was totally kinda drunk at a bar age 25

a man but only because he had long hair and very pretty eyes and kim dokja thought this was Heterosexual until after the kiss (rando guy said he had a cute nose <3)

let's just say when he first runs into hsy's guy avatar he can't help but be reminded and he tries his best to ignore the whole bisexuality thing that he was happily putting away on a shelf through being a slave to capitalism

This ask made my DAYYY thank you SO MUCH for the bonus info 🥰🥰🥰 Point three is making me giggle and twirl my hair :))) Everyone go gaze upon this wondrous art rn that's an ORDER

[always-a-joyful-note]

You don't know how much I can Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint code Enstars because I could. Because you have a set up where you are basically taking the place of Anzu--a person created simply to be the reader's/player's self-insert. Because the characters all exist to love Anzu while they're going through their own arcs. Because Anzu also exists to love and support the characters by the game's own coding. She is their world and their hope, and the enstars characters are her idols (and I don't just mean that as singers and dancers).

But slowly, I've seen posts and even small summaries of how Anzu starts becoming her own person, small ways apart from the characters. Yes, she's still quiet. Yes, she is almost always a Viewer. Except for the fact that this is a game story, not just a book or novel story. And games are meant to be played...not by the characters but by someone who is watching them but has not created them.

This is how Anzu has more power than a normal reader. This is also how she has less power than a normal reader. The game allows her to exercise power over the characters' lives that a normal reader of a book cannot--she can help along Trickstar, be the behind the scenes producer for a number of the idol groups in the school, doing something to make them shine. But she is always a puppet, controlled by the player. She has a silly personality with a questionable naming sense and determination and hard-headedness to boot...her preferences for the units and who she builds up are always changing according to the player. Her only goal is to make sure her idols shine (what more does a reader want than to see their characters shine?), yet the goal of the Enstars characters is to adore Anzu and make people like her who support them happy (where would the characters be without a reader?)

Like the Oldest Dream, she is the most powerful and weakest god of all. A puppet steered by the fantasies of many, many individuals yet always loved by the characters for "herself."

I watched Izzzyzzz video about old iPhone customization and remember how 14 y/o me was also obsessed with them too but I couldn't figure out how to properly use widgets and started felt remorse over not customizing my phone.

and then I remember I'm an adult and can do what I want

[cannot-be-cyn]

i can no longer look at the same stuff again bcs of orv and one of them is squid… like i love this six-tentacled cephalopod okay every dish made with it is like heaven in my mouth… still is, but the thing is! the thing when i see squids now, i think "omg kim dokja!" and then i will savagely gnaw at skewered grilled squids for all the pain and mixed emotions and trauma he caused me and thinks "serves you right"

[jynxlovesluck]

Kim Dokja is autistic, in this essay I will-

[walmart-miku]

ORV rereading liveblog chapters: 7-10 (end of episode 2 Protagonist)

That's not the only thing she's gonna be monitoring ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (archangel uriel aka joongdoks ship captain)

Aw yeah more foreshadowing

Random thought but the way fourth wall is structured in the beginning makes orv feel like an otome game

I was never particularly attached to Kim Namwoon the first time I read orv but damn this is way too cruel of a beginning for him

O u g h. I love how complex character list is.

LOOK AT KIM NAMWOON HOLY SHIT. HES JUST LIKE US STUDENTS. HE GETS IT

Toxic yaoi

...

I think I might like doomed by the narrative a little too much

:D it's only the first chapter of Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk interacting and there is so much. So Much. homerotic subtext here

Gays am i right

me when I see hit constellation prisoner of the golden headband from beloved novel omniscient readers viewpoint (I am very normal about him.)
