thinking again about [incarnation kim dokja will be killed by the person he loves most]. orv as a whole rewards you for reading and remembering every bit of text in that novel but my favorite part is definitely the parallel between everyone fighting to kill kim dokja in "73rd demon king" and everyone fighting to save kim dokja in "the most ancient dream". shin yoosung and lee gilyoung are described to be holding themselves back and unable to do anything in both scenarios. jung heewon raises her sword to fight the demon king, and drops it when she meets the most ancient dream. han sooyoung is almost silent as she fights dokja and then she's clawing and screaming as secretive plotter levels his sword at the most ancient dream's head.

more than that i think often about how kim dokja sacrificed himself to become the demon king of salvation to save everyone. and while he claims again and again that he wants to save them again by eliminating the star stream, his desperation in wanting the most ancient dream to die is because he can't stand the sight of himself. he was crawling on his hands and knees begging for a weapon because he was powerless, and because he wanted to die. he knew how selfish he was being, too, both times -- how cruel it was to ask for his friends to kill him, and how cruel it was for wanting to kill himself even if the star stream - and its stories, its past, its future - would come to an end. its kind of beautiful that both times, in a way, the story he loved most is what ended him.

"i can fix him" ok well i will try to make him realize how loved and cherished he is outside of the narrative he created for himself

[dreadark]

it’s always “why did you sacrifice yourself and leave me behind” and never How was the sacrifice Was sacrificing yourself fun it looked fun

Orv thesis statement basically

[kiddokori]

hes got something going on

[ID: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint fanart. Kim Dokja shrugs casually and says, "Yeah I feel no connection to my name and barely recognize myself, honestly I feel like an intruder in my own body lol." Han Sooyoung stares at him with a thought bubble of the trans flag. Yoo Joonghyuk scowls at him and thinks "god he is just like me fr." Yoo Sangah looks worried and thinks of the Wikipedia page on dissociation. End ID]

thank youu @nebulations for the ID :]

Hehehe Based off the story of the sunfish that got depressed when people stopped coming during the pandemic XD Needs a little Kim Dokja to keep him company!

[tls12lessthan3]

kim dokja really introduces us to yoo joonghyuk like yeah this is my favourite character in the whole wide world, he's singlehandedly kept me alive for 13 years, he's my idol, he's an incredibly written work of art. also he sucks so bad and i want to hit him with my car. brother if your biggest inspiration in life chokes you when you first meet you might need to look inward
