How do I explain how married Han Yoojin and Sung Hyunje are in the post-epilogue Side Stories without sounding like I am exaggerating or making things up...

Age in orv is a topic that I have thoughts about, albeit not very coherent. It's tied to the wacky nature of time loops in orv, but the series also explicitly says that some constellations "define" an age for themselves so they don't lose their sense of self, and it's implied they keep the age where they reached their constellation status. It's a protection against what is basically immortality, but also a way to lock themselves in place; remaining unchanging by necessity also means no growth. This reflects the main characters as well:

Lee Jihye, but mainly Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung have their lives changed by the apocalypse at an early age, and when their age is reset they're back to being minors again. Their strength is tremendous but somehow doesn't shake off the feeling that they're the "babies" of the group.

Yoo Mia is the eternal cute little sister, but reaching the end of scenarios does allow her to grow in the next regression in ways she never could before. Heck, Kim Namwoon is the eternal chuuni teen who died before he could change, and in death is happy to indulge in his current hobbies. When he's seen again, Han Myungoh has notably aged due to trauma, but also fatherhood - a different stage in life than trying to hit on harass girls in his office to go out with him (granted this never stopped cheating husbands but hmo really seems to priorize being Dad). Meanwhile, Han Dareum's mind does not keep up with her physical aging, esp while being possessed/having her time stolen by Asmodeus.

Biyoo is a tormented old soul in a baby's body, and for a while she's allowed to exist without remembering everything, working hard but still being cared for. She only speaks baby lingo until it's revealed to be a conscious decision of hers, and one that kinda bites her in the ass when she reappears as a moody teen human. At the same time, her memories come back fully from 41sys at the end, plus it's implied she spent a much longer time than 20yrs in the Dark Dimension; yet still chooses the form of a young girl when she's back, and freely changes back to fluffball form for convenience' sake.

Yoo Joonghyuk is a can of worms of his own: thousands of years old who goes back to his 20s again and again, thought of and addressed by others as a young man - the only one who calls him ahjussi, an old man term, is sys. (Apparently even when they're being respectful, none of kdj's kids are all that flattering when addressing him lmao) Anyway, the regression locks him in place in many ways, and when he's finally free, spends 2 years paralyzed by the abrupt change. But he goes to space, and comes back looking older than the main group, as if he took on a different mentality and is in a new stage of life (aka space is where he evolves as both a reader and a writer).

Kim Dokja is interesting. First of all, his younger self is 15 but repeatedly described to look waaay younger (it's growth stunt implying both his abuse and symbolism of his coping mechanisms). Yet he's consistently called ahjussi by the younger girls and kim namwoon, as if oppa/hyung just don't feel right (idk korean so I can't speak of the nuances, but ljh and knw aren't all that respectful in general so I wonder, lmao. As for sys, oppa probably doesn't feel right after him taking her in as a protegé). He "loses" 3 years and remains physically unchanged through the whole scenarios, and then slowly reverts to kid form as OD - and THAT is how he ends the novel. All those fanarts of his comatose adult form had me fooled. He could be said to be regressing to a child but at the same time he's SP's "parent", and arguably the world's parent. His familial "milestones" (father of a dokkaebi at 28 & adopted at 30) being all over the place can even be an allegory to the varying age.

The 4th wall starts as an old opportunistic man but already has a child-like speech from the moment it first appears, way before its last time in the train. It revered kdj at the very start but as years go on, respectfully defers to hsy as the god of their world (Thus he acts on her orders but also has his own interests). Bickers with kdj like a younger brother, even as he functions as a guide.

And as the other two in yoohankim, Han Sooyoung is an ourobouros too: first of all her avatar skill can change appearances, so arguably she can choose a different age. Her other self did a tricky dimension hopping and ended up half of a hardened 30 something yrs old in the body of a teen, and she lived split between this older self and the person developing normally until 26yrs old. Heck, she has an arc where she waits 50 years in a scenario (she keeps her sanity by getting rid of some memories). Like everyone else in Kimcom, the regression messed up some years, but by the time they accepted defeat, she wears glasses to look older at her job. Appearances matter... but does she feel like her age?

i haven't posted in a while cause I've been doing irl stuff or whatever but I had the funniest brain blast this morning. I've always disliked Andy not existing in the modern AU and have found the official justification for that a little tasteless, but I do realize what exactly the curl of the monkey's paw would be if he did. If Mr. Andy "trigger happy angry teen being used by James Hendricks to piss off his gay dad" Adler existed in the year of our Lord 2025 with four step dads he would absolutely be a manosphere teen. Just an absolutely horrid little thing constantly seething over his father having three partners closer in age to his son than himself. And to be clear, I do not think this justifies his non existence. Far from it, I think the gang, or even just Will and Sam, having to deal with a court designated weekend with the sophomore from hell would have been a hilarious plot for a one shot and the fact we won't get that is criminal!

Okay hear me out. Addison who age regresses as a coping mechanism x Michael whose behavior stimming and special interests fall under childish behavior and also never had a real childhood. You agree. Reblog.

Do you hate TTPD or are you just tired of the oversaturation of Taylor Swift that we've gotten in the last 4 years with Folklore, Evermore, Midnights, 4 re-recorded albums, the Eras tour, and all the hullabaloo about her breaking various streaming, sales, chart, and award records?

Do you hate TTPD or are you just massively turned off by the legions of fanatical Swifties who can't seem to wrap their minds around the idea that just because an artist is particularly good at creating music that resonates with them, does not mean that that artist is objectively the greatest and best music artist of all time and therefore above any criticism?

Do you hate TTPD or are you just disappointed with the fact that, after two indie folk albums filled with beautifully crafted, haunting ballads where TS exercises her skills as a storyteller, she has put out an album that basically demands that you are intimately familiar with her dating history to understand?

Do you hate TTPD or do you just wish she'd move on from Jack Antonoff's increasingly stale, repetitive, and honestly sort of lazy production?

the writers should've just committed to the one-sided pining daxton, but they're cowards who refused to accept that it's fundamentally impossible to write a version of paxton who is not in love with devi

Grieving over someone who isn’t gone is such a complicated feeling. Especially when they are your best friend. Especially when they want to leave you.

I still can interact with them today. I can see them with my own eyes, hear their voice with my ears, understand their deepest dreams because we just know each other.

But soon, I won’t be able to see them in person, the only way I can hear their voice will be through a phone, and now someone else will learn to understand them better than me. I will slowly be forgotten as someone else becomes their remembered.

And it hurts. But it happens. And I knew it was coming but I didn’t want it to happen so fast. It’s like when you know something is going to bite you but it hasn’t happened yet. You anticipate the pain so it’s like the pain is already there.

They’re still here but they’re already gone. They’re not gone forever just gone for now. You’re still a kid. They’re all grown up and they’re leaving you. It hurts.
