Its day four somewhere right?

[ID: 4 photos of white bao buns, they all rest on a little bit of parchment paper. 1. A single uncooked one 2. Four baos tucked into small black steamer tray. 3. Four cooked bao, skins shiny now, on a blue plate. Some uncooked ones visible behind them. 4. Close up on a single cooked bao, at the centre of the dough folds a small hole has formed. END ID]

@orvweek day four cooking.... murim dumplings.... well. Chicken bao but as far as i could tell thats basically what they were talking about?? They 1. Are steamed, 2. Have filling, 3. Eaten with chicken broth [which i dont have any but instant noodles lol]

Well anyway im literalizing consuming the story. Just like the novel. Its. Recursive.

Recipe link give or take ingredients i wanted to use [mushroom & cabbage] and didnt have [dark soy sauce]

edit (10/23/2024) now that the poll is over: Original version, with 10 questions, from April 2023 here

And, given that the original is from April 2023, that means I can very easily say:

No, this was not an ISAT reference!

Just because I use parentheses and 2nd person pov and love the same concepts of what a time loop can do to a person doesn't mean it's ISAT

(Yes, I like ISAT, the original poll is why I was recommended the game! But if you look at the original, you can see all the origins of the options to choose from, including what spurred me on with the moss option from the replies)

If I were going to make something for ISAT, I would never be so vague, you can simply look at my ao3 for proof of that

i love seeing out of context posts about long-running stories with deep lore because it's always shit like "MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!! i can't believe that the metallic athenaeum's envoy actually used never-ending dance of the 57th universe on rionne as if she's not LITERALLY the incarnate of august?!?!" it's like buddy boy thank you for the spoiler tag but all of those words are incomprehensible without at least 5 years of foreshadowed knowledge, 7 different fan theories, and 21 wiki entries

we talk a lot about that one quote where kim dokja describes yoo jonghyuk poetically and gay as hell but what we dont talk about enough is how han sooyoung was the one who wrote that. i fully believe he did think something along those lines but also that description is han sooyoungs. what a funny thing for yoo jonghyuk to read. 'yeah our dead friend thought you were SO hot in this moment, let me intricately describe it' there is no way either han sooyoung or kim dokja are coming out of that situation with ANY dignity

"died and came back wrong this, died and came back wrong that" what about dying and just coming back. just coming back at all. especially when it was the choice of the deceased to return. bonus points if it was because they left something unfinished. the narrative is a corpse and it reeks of devotion

☆ "grown-up" media enjoyer agere + agedre flags .ᐟ

for age regressors / dreamers who enjoy less "kid-friendly" media while regressed! this could include horror films, tv shows aimed at teens / adults, young adult novels, etc.

It's sort of implied Yoo Joonghyuk starts off every regression in his signature outfit already and I have. Headcanons on how that is possible.

It's explicitly stated in canon that his coat does not travel back to him when he regresses (kdj says so to sp), so the two possibilities are either he buys it as soon as possible and just does the first couple scenarios in a normal outfit (boring, unsupported by canon) or... he was already wearing the coat on the day the scenarios started. Which is what I think, and is more interesting. Since those coats already have so much narrative weight in yjh's story let me add a little more.

I think when Yoo Joonghyuk spawned into existence on the side of the road one day, he was wearing the full WoS outfit, coat included. Because, what else would the protagonist wear? This was the only outfit he was written in.

Eventually, he of course did buy normal clothes (in yoo mia side story, which happens a few years later, he wears 'an old jacket') but that coat he started off with with would have been one of the very few pieces of evidence of his supposed 'past' that he wanted to discover so badly. So even if he stopped wear it day-to-day, I think he wouldn't have gotten rid of it.

For years, A Black Infinite Dimention Space Coat hangs in his closet, totally anachronistic in a pre-scenarios world. Like Yoo Joonghyuk himself.

It's important to note that on the day the scenarios started, Yoo Joonghyuk was taking the train to meet his parents for the first time. Perhaps he felt the need to dress up, and what better way than the unusual clothing he wore on the first day he remembers? He would have finally gotten the answers he had been looking for - perhaps even to the comparatively insignificant question of why he was wearing this coat when he forgot his past.

Well, his parents house was empty, but he still gets the answer to his questions eventually, when at 7 p.m on the ride back, the scenarios start.

In a bitter irony, that outfit he chose to wear on that day would be what he wore for the next thousand regressions. But of course, it never could have happened any other way.

[ID: Comments on a wiki page which read:

Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint sketches I forgot to post! ;;

[chronologically-challenged]

Unironically love getting into a piece of media and you're 200 chapters into a 500+ chapter series, where a bunch of wild shit has already happened.

And then after something happens that irrevocably changes the foundation of the narrative where in many cases would be an ending in enough itself, the fans say, "That was just the prologue. The real story begins here >:)"

Anyway read omniscient reader's viewpoint-
