[lee-hakhyun]

… what if. what if lee hakhyun doesn’t know why he’s saying things in star writer because he can tell his actions don’t feel like his own. what if he can feel himself being puppetmastered by someone else. [this part is a complete leap in logic and more of a fun what-if than actual theorising] but what if the being puppeteering his actions is a future version of himself, writing those very words. so it is him, but in a way where it isn’t

what if, right now, lee hakhyun is only getting information from kdj’s novel because it was something HE WROTE and because he WROTE HIMSELF into being the reincarnation of 49 kdj. what if he’s only the reincarnation because lee hakhyun’s whole deal is that he transmigrates into the character he’s writing, and now that he wrote orv in a different worldline he has to complete star writer’s own rules of living from the protagonist’s viewpoint.

what if this is just another ‘effect writes cause’ situation, same as yjh regresses -> hsy writes -> kdj reads -> yjh regresses

there’s already a stable paradox in star writer’s worldline being older than orv’s, why not THIS TOO

oh god. if he was the one to willingly write himself all his pain..

honestly. with all this being about this being his story now i want to believe he's writing this side story. the moments where he mentions he wants to write a new story.. and continuing the story that hsy wrote,, but this is orv. i cant theorize anything because singshong will throw a curveball that's impossible to predict yet ties everything together in the worst ways

while i can see the differences between star writer and orv lhh, i feel like there could be SOME connection especially since star writer was explicitly brought up as something lhh wrote (ill talk about this when i finally get that next episode summary up it's still in the drafts) though they are still separate works so i'm not expecting it. idk where it is but singshong did say in some interview that they came up with the idea for orv after star writer failed (something about writing about a reader instead of an author) and.. now he's back. and thank god he's back i wouldn't have found my blorbo without the side story
