I'm sorry, but if someone who spent years to know me one-sidedly, i will simply aspire to become their companion because that kind of dedication is hot

For a moment there, I had this feeling that this world's balance of beauty had tilted to one side. A nonsensical amount of cheering erupted out all around us next. "Oh, ooooh! Dear Zhu Bajie-nim!" For sure, calling a face like that 'Yogoe' didn't seem all that out of place. Because well, it was inconceivable that a normal human would be blessed with such looks, after all. Eyebrows seemingly drawn by a single, uninterrupted stroke of a famed artist's brush; a nose and a chin shaped in perfect angles that defied attempts to measure them through mere devices of men; a pair of deep eyes seemingly carved out of a beautiful jewel containing all the misfortunes found in this world. If someone saw those features and not get immediately drawn in by them, then there must be something wrong with that person.

Yes Dokja, Joonghyuk is the most beautiful person to ever exist. Yes Dokja, you've told us before.

You've told us many times before.

Oh? This time he's got his vest half-unbuttoned? He's wearing a nice pair of black jeans? Zeroed in on that right away, did you?

Mmmhmm

Listen, we get it, Dokja. You're super big gay for Yoo Joonghyuk. He doesn't even have to wear the black Chinese dress with black garter belt and if he ever did your heart would probably go flying out of your chest and you'd gasp and curl in on yourself and die right there on the spot.

.

So much for these guys letting Dokja relax.

I love the original Cars 2006 game so much. The one that got released on like GameCube and Xbox. I mean, I love all the Cars games(Cars 3 Switch game they did you dirty), but that's an entire story for another time giving my individual appriciation for all of them later. What I'm going to say here applies pretty well to the other games that are centered around the first movie as well like Race-O-Rama and Maternationals, but I'm specifcally rewatching the original one's cutscenes again because I don't want to restart my data every time I wanna go through the cutscenes again(even though I enjoy playing it so, so much), and I just love the atmosphere in it so much. Some of my favorite movie scenes are the ones where they don't have any music playing because I love to close my eyes and turn up the volume and just.. pretend I am right there with the characters and right next to them and stuff or that they're talking to me or such, and that is extra immersible when there isn't an entire orchestra going on(not that I am knocking at having music at all, I regularly go back and listen to the soundtracks from movies if they have them posted).

And the game doesn't really have any music at all during any of the cutscenes and the whole thing is like super..soft to me? Not soft as in like fluffy pillows and pink aesthetic soft, but soft as in like it's getting late out and so you're trying to be kinda hushed with your voice and there's not really anywhere you have to be so you slow down your pace and kick a couple of pinecones or rocks. If that makes any sense at all. Cause normally movies or shows(whether the whole series or each individual episode) have a certain plot or arc that is happening that everyone is focused on and consumes the whole thing, give or take a few moments. And while this game does have a particular thing so it can have a start and end to the story of the game, everything is framed in like a "Yeah, this is what they get up to in their freetime." And I don't know if you know but I love my slice of life stuff so sooooooo so so infinitely much. So getting to get that sort of content is really fun and perfect for me. It's like you're just actively hanging around them and getting caught up in whatever typical nonsense they end up in(assuming we are ignoring the whole monster truck bit), and the "OH THINGS ARE. HITITNG THE FAN." Or bigger development moments are saved for like the movies or something or whatever comes up in my head.

I'm not really entirely headed anywhere with this, I just wanted to put out some appriciation for the game and how nice the atmosphere is. I think it's also cause I really love getting to just sit and here them talk and there is a lot of casual conversation that happens and just plain dialog. Like it's not even filler dialog it's just talking and chatting. And I spend a stupid silly amount of time listening to voiceline compilations on YouTube so this is just the bees knees for me.

Thank you for the read though, may I offer you with a clip because APPERENRLY there's a limit to one clip per post that I am just now finding out about. I think I've already talked about the Litnig one anyway. Maybe I'll post it again later.

I uuuuguguhhh also perfectly reached the tag limit. If anyone needs anything to do in their freetime while bored or as a filler may I suggest reading this post and it's tags, you will be occupied for a while IFNFJCJFNS. I was half joking about reaching the tag limit as well. Well, we all saw it coming, it was going to have to happen one day. And go figure after a long absence that I was going to have it in me to do some running of my mouth...

I do want to say I am probably back now yall! Knock on wood- but I think the reign of my absence is over! Which I am especially hoping so for several reasons but also because I am so SO not done milking F/Ovember to its full extent. I spent too many months looking forward to that to not invest and rot my blog with it.

kinda interesting its a consistent through line that its typically the younger ppl that are least touched by prejudice or most willing to bridge those gaps in dungeon meshi. Zons child, pattadol, shuro, kabru, and laios from the top of my head +namari + inutade. But notably a lot of older ppl are also willing to take small steps to change when faced w evidence on the contrary eg maizuru calling senshi by his name instead of dwarf and correcting herself and calling holm a gnome the second go around when shes so xenophobic foreign foods listed as a dislike.

Finished the first illustration for my novel 🥰

This will be on the document for the novel when I get around to putting it there.

[stardustizuku]

Im so extremely careful to NOT spoil anything and not bring up stuff that comes in later parts of AoB to new readers

And then I see someone name dropping and explaining Gerogine’s entire backstory in a COMMENT of a Part 3 review video of the book WHEN HER NAME HASNT EVEN BEEN MENTIONED

Like fr stop spoiling it for new readers

ORV rereading liveblog chapters: 27-35 (episode 7-8)

:D DAD DOKJA DAD DOKJA DAD DOKJA DAD DOK

ITS THE FIRST "COMPANIONS OF LIFE AND DEATH" OF ORV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHH (chapter 28 btw ;))

He's so insufferable (affectionate)

Don't worry Kim Dokja give it a ■■■■■■ of ■■■■■■■■ and Yoo Joonghyuk will be tenderly cradling you in his arms as ■■■ ■■■ (happens ■■■■■ if I'm remembering right) give it a ■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■ and Yoo Joonghyuk will be ■■■■■■■■■■ you to keep you from ■■■■■■■ yourself :D (comment has been filtered due to spoilers!!!)

Kim Dokja you fucking hypocrite

Because he loves you. Because he loves them. Because this is the happiest Kim Dokja has likely been in his 28 years of existence so far. Because while he might talk big about efficiency and the best route his best route is the one where no one dies. Because he sees himself in you. Because he read a novel for 10 years about someone that tried and failed and tried again to save the world and its people. Because he can.

BUT YOU ARE KIM DOKJA YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO THIS LITTLE BOY RIGHT NOW YOU ARE LEE GILYOUNG'S WHOLE WORLD RIGHT NOW. HE WOULD DIE FOR YOU (not that you'd let him) HE WOULD KILL FOR YOU (not that Jung Heewon would let him) THIS. JUST THIS INTERACTION. ITS JUST SO. AAAUUUGGGGHHHHHHH

"I wouldn't let Lee Gilyoung die. At least, not today." KIM DOKJA I THINK YOU MEAN NOT EVER

BECAUSE ITS ■■■ THE ■■■■■ ■■■■!!!!!! BECAUSE AAHHHHHHHH (comment has been filtered due to spoilers!!!)

Fucking emotionally constipated husbands. Poor Lee Gilyoung, has to be handed off to his other dad :(

Kim "I'm just a normal guy" Dokja my ass (also he cares so much about them I'm not ok)

Yoo Joonghyuk out here trying to get custody of Lee Gilyoung

Kim Dokja your story is so interesting that orv has a cult following

Ah *sniffles* bbys first bounty :') idk how many times this happens but it's a lot

Of course Kim Dokja is crazy how to do you think he got this far???? No sane person survives the scenarios and no sane person cones out of ORV sane

Average ORV reader

Yknow you love him Kim Dokja

Ding ding ding! Kim Dokja's sunfish regression depression radar is going off!!! Time for him to go save a sunfish :D

[stepmarchen]

Quick notice but this blog is a novel spoiler free zone!!!

The manhwa version of ASM is ORKA's interpretation of the original novel by Spice & Kitty. While most of the current plot will probably follow the original novel, there are some major deviations.

So to avoid any crossover, I'd like to keep this blog novel spoiler free, at least until the manhwa is finished. (I haven't read the novel yet pls)

I'd like to kindly request that any visitors of this blog please refrain from leaving novel spoilers in the replies/inbox!

thanks! -stepmarchen

Everyday I remember why I never let instagram comments influence me

[juniperhillpatient]

I really had to vibe check everyone so hard directly after such a fun Kitchen Nightmares update from Theo. I’m so sorry but I do promise my plans ARE fun it’s just playing with genre I pinky swear

[linklethehistorian]

Dearest beloved LinkletheHighruleHistorianonTumblrdotcom,

ship opinions Chuuya x Chuuyas Original (or clone if u think chuuya is the original like an illiterate loser)

Ship: Chuuya Nakahara (BSD) x Other Chuuya Nakahara (BSD)

Fanon ship name: Unknown

Have I ever heard of this ship before this ask?: Nope! No idea this was a thing.

Do I ship this ship?: I already have a ship for Chuuya of my own, and I'm pretty much a one ship per character type of person as a general rule (barring any potential past relationships) - plus this is selfcest and selfcest isn't really usually my thing - so no, it's just not for me personally.

My personal rating of this ship: 7/10

More in-depth thoughts:

Well, while I'm not really into the whole selfcest thing normally, from a purely character dynamic standpoint, I can definitely see why someone might want to ship them; being essentially the same person, they would probably have a fair bit in common, and Chuuya helping his other self find his own sense of self/recover from his trauma would definitely be a sweet thing.

On the other hand, one of the major things that turns me off from the whole selfcest thing is that I really enjoy the dynamics of characters who are quite different from one another, and typically by definition most selfcesty type ships are going to involve the characters largely being the same in their likes, dislikes, interests, traumas, struggles, strengths, weaknesses, and so on and so forth, as well as physical appearance.

Still, it isn't the most mismatched pairing to me imaginable, so that's something! As I said, I can definitely see the appealing angles of this. lol It just isn’t for me. As always, if you ship this ship, I hope you have a good time anon!

[pttucker]

Yup, the match-making system of had definitely lost a lot of its marbles, hadn't it? Before the face of the third candidate could appear, I summoned up all my courage and shouted out. "No, hang on a minute! I don't have any thoughts of marriage yet!" The Judge lowered his head as if he wanted to apologise and backed off. [If the esteemed Prince isn't ready yet, then the introduction of the next candidate can be delayed until the next time…] [Hmm… I wonder who'll be able to tame this stubborn Prince of ours.]

*SCREAMING*

We all agree on who was about to show up as the third option, right? We all know who it was gonna be? Right?

Oh man, I just about fell out of my chair and rolled around on the floor when the Candidates started to appear. I know everyone in the entire Star Stream seems to love their shipping, Uriel and Persephone in particular, but I WAS NOT PREPARED.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Okay, I was maybe a little prepared for some teasing since Persephone loves to tease him about his (so far nonexistent) love life but this whole little matchmaking presentation from a Judge of the Underworld was more than I could have ever imagined. The Judge literally saying that maybe Sangah is out of Dokja's league adakjfldjfskfs.

And let's not forget, we're literally right in the middle of a massive battle that's about to go sideways due to the meddling of a certain archangel. But, you know, priorities.

I swear...what even is this novel? How am I ever gonna explain any of this to anyone?

Oh man, and then after teasing him all this time about Sangah and Joonghyuk (…and then Joonghyuk again…) Persephone just casually drops Bihyung into the conversation.

Bihyung.

Which… not a ship I’ve ever considered... even if they do have a baby together. (Wow, this story is weird isn’t it?)

But, you know what? You do you, Dokja! I support your strange but unique life choices!

(Dokja does not want this. Dokja does not want any of this.)
