Honestly from the beginning there was something so off about Cale who did not even flinch at the sight of corpses, gore and just the overall massacre that was the Whipper Kingdom when he headed there for the first time.
I'm so happy the author didn't pull the "well he transmigrated! he is just kinda tough headed from the beginning" card that i usually see in these types of stories? it always frustrated me because no, a normal person would not be able to see a battlefield and be okay with it, I really like it when there is a reason and its not just an odd characteristic/ plot hole. I kind of brushed over this moment when i first read TCF and it really goes to show how I just gave up in trying to find a reason for things in transmigration manhwas.
So big big props to Yoo Ryeo Han for always being so iconic and making me look out for twists and revelations. The author perfectly used the situation to hint at what kind of life Kim Rok Soo had lived on earth.

Like this is NOT the face of someone who was a loner reading novels at home. This man has been through SHIT.

random thought #4: no romance
I appreciate that the author doesn't add a romantic subplot for her characters just because they're of the opposite sex.
Like Cage and Taylor who, if this is a tv show, would've immediately been tagged as a couple even if they're just good friends. They're the best of friends who really care deeply for each other and right from the start, I never saw their bond as a romantic one. It's special since they understand each other so well because of their burdens and similar sense of humor. Like imagine how devastated Cage must've been in TBoaH. It must've been like losing a part of herself, her other half.
Yeah, I can see the idea that they can be a couple but it's so nice to see that the author just focuses on their friendship throughout the first part of TCF instead.
Then there's that time when Cale had Rosalyn and Choi Han help out Lock.
Cale clapped once, before pointing at Choi Han and Rosalyn.
“That is why we will pretend that you are the mother and father, or, if you do not like that scenario, then you shall be the older brother and older sister. You two will need to figure out how to protect him.”
- Chapter 30: You
I love the fact that Cale just gives them options to choose from so they can feel comfortable with each other. Especially since he knows they literally just met a few days ago. I also think that they just give off sibling vibes. Like Rosalyn and Choi Han never gave off anything else but friendship or family vibes and it's just so nice to see it happen.
I don't hate romance, okay? I actually love them. That is, when I look for that specific genre. If I'm not looking for it and it's there, I usually feel annoyed. Sometimes, it's not tagged but it still happens in the story.
I just find it exhausting at times when novels or tv shows push for romance when there's no need or reason for it. Especially the love at first sight trope. That one just aggravates me.
Like they can explore how close two characters are without putting a romantic context to it. In fact, the "romance" that we get in TCF are mostly from Deruth and Violan and from Deruth and Jour. It can't be said it's romance either since the focus on them is about the whole family instead. Other characters never show any sign of being in love with someone either.
And I also love the fact that Cale, the main character, doesn't have a romantic relationship throughout the whole first book. He has no time for one since he's in the middle of a war, he's focused on protecting his friends and family, and he's busy fighting some crazy bastards. He never looked at another person and thought he was in love.
If Yoo Ryeo Han ever adds romance later on, ✨I still hope she doesn't✨, it's easier to accept since I know these characters are close to each other. They've been together since the beginning. They bonded and experienced a lot of good and bad things together. Although it'll be weird to me...
[On an unrelated note: If this whole post looks weird, it's because I haven't slept yet]

Magical girl Han Yoojin and Yoohyun!
You're in babygirlyfying han yoojin contest and your opponent is me. Inspired by that one April fool official art of Yoohyun
One nice thing about yoojin is that his style is that of a middle aged man and quick to get embarrassed but I feel like if you give him frilly magical girl dress and told him that it will double his mana or something he would definitely wear it.
And and people have said it many times before but yoojin and yoohyun are really only a pair of red earrings and a lizard away from looking like Kim dokja and yoo joonghyuk

Okay, yes I'm sorry I have crossover-itis, but just stick with me here. The framing of Mother of Learning is pretty clear that Zorian's presence in the plot is akin to a rounding error in fate. Zach was chosen and Zorian stumbled into it. What if we take that meta-insertion of Zorian into Zach's plot and make it more literal?
Because I think taking some of the ideas and story beats from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint and projecting them onto Mother of Learning would work very well.
I'm not sure on the specifics of how this would work (whether Zorian is from the "real world," whether there is a leveling system, who is the Han Sooyoung equivalent) but I do think that there are a lot of interesting themes and parallels overall to have fun with.
First of all, I think it'd be funny if Zorian's and Zach's dynamic is sort of like an inverse of Kim Dojka and Yoo Joonghyuk. Zach isn't Zorian's favorite, actually Zorian kind of hates the guy. He's way too extroverted, not very academic, and way too morally uptight to take the actions that Zorian thinks would solve the problem (maybe his favorite character is Kael? idk). But when Zorian finds himself in the story he thinks "aw beans, I have to stick to this asshole don't I?" Meanwhile Zach is very up front and clear about his interest and care about Zorian. Zorian can't understand it! Even when Zorian told Zach straight to his face that he's a work of fiction and that Zorian thinks his character arc is middling at best, he won't stop being super kind to him! It's frustrating! But none of that matters to Zach, because Zorian is (overall) a good person and has all his memories when Zach is stuck in a time loop. Besides, Zorian is like his opposite in all the good ways.
There are other elements that parallel kind of nicely and otherwise work well together. Zorian's empathy and Dokja's fourth wall. The way both those things have allowed them to understand others to a greater degree while also increasing the distance between them and people. The way both protags sacrifice themselves (at least to others) and the way it causes their friends distress.
There's a lot here, but there's so many moving pieces and liberties with both works that need to be taken to work I just wanted to broadly gesture at the connection instead of doing anything more.

And and AND as a fellow ORV fan, I just wanted to share this fact that devasted me- Kim Dokja scarifies 49% of himself, Yoo Joonghyuk loses half of his memories (might have to dig deeper to explain this) and Han Sooyoung lost half of her soul that just go on to know Dokja's past and then sacrifies herself(and maybe the whole world) to save him. And YK the most interesting fact about all this is, Dokja turns out to be the most selfish one of all three. Yes he continues to sacrifice himself the entire time but at what cost? He hurts his friend everytime and consciously or sub consciously he ignores this fact and continue to do WHAT HE THINKS IS RIGHT. And the part where he keeps 51% of his memories to himself just prove this. I ended up ranting but yh just wanted to share this ツ (Nice to meet you!)
i get what you’re saying, it’s an interesting perspective. i can’t help but think though, there isn’t really a universal ‘right’ thing to do is there? there’s always going to be people who gain and people who lose. like the story mentioned it’s impossible to have a story without sacrifice. yeah kdj hurt kimcom by sacrificing himself but the fact of the matter is that the world would have come to a stop if not for it. i don’t know if he ignores the fact any more than he realises that the benefit of them being alive living their lives outweighed the loss of his presence.
even kimcom had accepted that it was something that had to be done. if not for kdj, who could’ve stepped up? the world would’ve never gone back to normal and the author told us from the beginning that kdj hated endings. he hates it when the story fell out of his grasp and he hated being alone. being selfish would’ve meant finding a way to stay with kimcom even if it meant staying in the library. all those times he sacrificed himself throughout the book were so that he could see an end where he’d be with his family but he had to give that up.
i think doing what you believe is right doesn’t necessarily coincide with what you want to do. being selfish would mean putting your own desires over that of others. but sometimes fate forces your hand and you have to work with what you have to the best of your ability. yes kimcom would’ve rather died than let go of dokja but what about the rest of the world? yes kimcom were hurt but they survived. dokja is by no means a hero but he weighed the pros and cons and decided that that was the best path he could take. when you think about it, hsy dooms millions of worlds just so that dokja made it past fifteen. so our measures on who is ‘more’ selfish can be subjective.
i remember recently reading a chapter where dokja said that on first glance you might think yjh is a realist because of how cold he is but the truth was that he was the most idealist person of them all. it was dokja’s realism that allowed kimcom’s idealism to exist. i’m not saying dokja hasn’t made some selfish choices but i don’t think becoming the oldest dream was one of them.
wow i typed a lot, i promise this isn’t an attack on your opinion! thank you for sharing and it was really nice to meet you too!

I decided to put everyone into one post and to talk about some assosications I have with the characters and their cards
The Fool (Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, bewrayment. [If the card is] Reversed: Negligence, absence, distribution, carelessness, apathy, nullity, vanity.) Of course it is Han Juwon in the begining if the story. "In many esoteric systems of tarot card interpretation, the Fool is interpreted as the protagonist of a story, and the Major Arcana are the path the Fool takes through the great mysteries of life." He is a Fool afterall: careless in his investigation, doesn't think about the people around him. He thinks he is the smartest guy in the room and the bestest boy in the area.
The Lovers. Here I decided to interpret it in the most literal way. But the card itself provides quite a nice explanation too. "6. THE LOVERS.—Attraction, love, beauty, trials overcome. Reversed: Failure, foolish designs. Another account speaks of marriage frustrated and contrarieties of all kinds." I really love the ending. The whole reunion thing is straight out of the romance story. That's why I chose this image to represent this card. The moment of piece at last.
The Hermit. When I first thought about this collage idea I was absolutly sure who should represent this card. "9. THE HERMIT. Prudence, circumspection; also and especially treason, dissimulation, roguery, corruption. Reversed: Concealment, disguise, policy fear, unreasoned caution."
The High Priestess. Oh Jihwa my beloved. There were several posts about her recently. She is a wonderful character. "Secrets, mystery, the future as yet unrevealed; the woman who interests the Querent, if male; the Querent herself, if female; silence, tenacity; mystery, wisdom, science. Reversed: Passion, moral or physical ardor, conceit, surface knowledge." Tell me this is not about her, I'll wait.
The Sun. The Moon. The Star. I thought it would be really symbolic to choose three young (and dead) characters to represent this cards. (of course, LDS is alive and old now but I think we can considr his younger self to be buried somewhere really deep in his mind. He wasn't the same person he'd been before his sister disappearance). Another thoought that I had in mind while making these three pieces was that scene from the first episode. The dialogue with Mother and her friend. "You are so lucky to have your daughter. Such a pity the God decided to balance it with your son." How almost everyone thought that Lee Yuyeon was a blessing and her brother - just a delinquent.
19.THE SUN.—Material happiness, fortunate marriage, contentment. Reversed: The same in a lesser sense.
18.THE MOON--Hidden enemies, danger, calumny, darkness, terror, deception, occult forces, error. Reversed: Instability, inconstancy, silence, lesser degrees of deception and error.
17.THE STAR.--Hope and bright prospects, Reversed: Loss, theft, privation, abandonment; another reading says: arrogance, haughtiness, impotence.
Kang Minjeong is a little star flickered out too soon.
The Magician. "Tarot experts have defined the Magician in association with the Fool". "While the upright Magician represents potential and tapping into one's talents, the reversed Magician's potential and talents are unfocused and unmanifested."
The Strength. One of my favourite cards and my favourite brave girl. I need to come clean I am not a fan of a lor of women portrayals in asian culture. But Yoo Jaeyi just stole my heart. She is kind, she is angry, she is loving, she is grieving. She is real. She is her own person. I love this image of her. "8. FORTITUDE.—Power, energy, action, courage, magnanimity; also complete success and honours. Reversed: Despotism, abuse of power, weakness, discord, sometimes even disgrace."
The Devil. Do I even need to explain myself? Well probably yes. Another candidate for this card was you guessed it - Han Kihwan. But after some thinking I finally decided on this one. "15. THE DEVIL.—Ravage, violence, vehemence, extraordinary efforts, force, fatality; that which is predestined but is not for this reason evil. Reversed: Evil fatality, weakness, pettiness, blindness." While Juwon's father is the evil person and the real villain of the story I do consider Kang Jinmuk the Devil.

Hello hello!! This is a req so if they arent open pls ignore/delete!!
Can u write hobin or taehun with a fem s/o that is quiet tall and wears glasses and how they would act around them? If u can do both that'd be great but u can just do one of them^^
Hobin + Taehoon? I'll do you one better (sorta). Here's some character HC I think would react to any of those attributes!
HTF + Lookism x Reader: Quiet, Tall, Glasses Reader HC
(Hobin, Taehoon, Wangguk, Yeonwoo, Goo, Jake)
Yoo Hobin
Would be a little insecure about his height at first, assuming you met him when he was shorter. It's easy for most people to tower over him so if you're on the taller side it's fine, but he just really wants his growth spurt to kick in
Bit ignorant at the best of times, will keep checking up on you if you're quiet "are you ok???" "what you thinking about?" "why you so quiet?" or he looks out for signs that he's pissed you off so you need to reassure him
We've seen him with Bomi, he hasn't got the best instinct with a partner so you'll need to sit him down and talk through any potential issues
Seong Taehoon
Bastard that would be hiding your glasses all the time
Asks if you're blind without your glasses A LOT, and uses it as an excuse to get his face up close to yours (makes it easier for him to steal kisses too)
Your height would be a VERY fun aspect. He can't do the lean down and get in your personal space act that he does with everyone else, so he just thinks of other ways to make you generally flustered
...Straddling and pinning you down in bed is one
Han Wangguk (I love him)
He's not used to being around quiet people. Being a Newtuber usually means a pretty big personality so it's a nice change of pace
The quietness between you both is never awkward, you just enjoy each others company
It takes a bit for him to get used to your height. His main point of reference lol is Gyeoul and she's not the tallest.
It actually makes some things a lot easier, like hand holding, hugs
Ji Yeonwoo
Tall, quiet, glasses? Sure you're not describing Yeonwoo?
Definitely the type of guy that would carry extra glasses wipes for you, or if you ask him to pass your glasses over he'll give them a quick clean. He's a sweet and thoughtful boy
You two would make a very serene match tbh, the most wholesome couple vibes
Goo Kim
This guy would absolutely love that you're wearing glasses above all else
He would create the Eight Eyes Club for you both "I've got 4 eyes and you've got 4 eyes, you get it babe??" No one else can join
Buys you so many different styles because it's fun
Will wear and steal yours regardless of prescription
Has someone to moan to about how much Gun makes fun of him for needing glasses
And if you're quiet, then he'll just take it as a sign to keep talking
Jake Kim
Isn't this guy like 6ft 4? So you have to be pretty tall for him to take notice cos almost everyone is short as hell compared to him
Honestly? LOVES it, just like Wangguk.
Makes physical affection a lot easier, and also tbh sex positions too
He'll treat you like an equal no matter what, but pretty cool if you have the stature to match
Quietness he can deal with, but you gotta give him something for his stupid jokes

“Y’know, I don’t really think it was a good idea to let Han Sooyoung get that job at the university.”
Yoo Jonghyuk blinks up at him, but turns back to picking apart a pomegranate. Kim Dokja reaches over to grab a handful of seeds, and Yoo Jonghyuk obligingly pushes the platter closer.
Yoo Jonghyuk says, “She’s just going in for some guest lectures. It’s not much of a job.”
“Yes,” Kim Dokja agrees, “but she could say anything about us and those kids would take it as gospel.”
Yoo Jonghyuk moves onto cutting up strawberries. “What are you so worried about? She won’t lie too much. History books exist.”
Kim Dokja steals a slice of strawberry this time. “Yes, she is a good writer. But she is not always a good storyteller.”
This time Yoo Jonghyuk looks up placidly. “She wrote both of our stories.”
“She’s giving lectures in order to give insight into the Scenarios and how they changed perspectives and ‘altered human interactions’. They also want a first hand account of the scenarios by one of the few people who recently participated in them, and how it impacted her. But Han Sooyoung tells stories in a way that makes the reader have to figure it out themselves, and they have at most an hour and a half. No one will be able to get anything out of it aside from how big she thought your chest looked with a belt across it.”
Yoo Jonghyuk processes this information, and promptly goes back to cutting fruit.
“It isn’t your problem.”
Kim Dokja sighs and leans back in his seat. His cane rests across his lap, and the sunlight feels warm from where they’re set up at a table in the large garden.
He starts again. “I’m just worried as to how it will go. She’s a good storyteller, but I don’t know if this will work out as well as we hope.”
“Calm down. If she can write a book about our journey, she can give a lecture to a few college students.”
Kim Dokja tilts his head back against the chair, shading his eyes with his hand. 
Quietly, he says, “Maybe you’re right. I should have a little faith.”
Yoo Jonghyuk hums quietly, and Kim Dokja looks up to see him looking at his phone.
“Hey, come to think of it, isn’t it lunch time? Are you not cooking anything?”
Yoo Jonghyuk taps out a text and sets his phone back on the table. “The kids are bringing food back with them.”
“Mmh.” Kim Dokja leans back in his chair with a smile. Then, “You should come sit with me. The shade is nice.”
“You aren’t a cat.” Yoo Jonghyuk continues cutting fruit in the sun, but once he finishes, he sets the fruit aside to dry and sits beside Kim Dokja on the hanging bench. Kim Dokja moves his cane to rest on the ground and slides over so Yoo Jonghyuk can sit down. Their thighs press together, and one of Yoo Jonghyuk’s arms slides around the back so he can rest his hand on the back of Kim Dokja’s neck. Kim Dokja doesn’t mind.
The party rarely use excuses to touch him now, opting for the straightforward approach of doing what they want and letting Kim Dokja get used to it. A hand on the back of the neck, an arm looped through his, a pair of legs thrown across his lap, a child asking to be picked up. Maybe once he would have thought it to be overdone and unnecessary, but it feels grounding, and warm. They don’t mind when he does the same, so he doesn’t ask them to stop.
When the kids arrive, they find the two sleeping against each other on the hanging bench, hands tangled together in the shade.
-
It’s only when Kim Dokja is getting into bed when he remembers his train of thought. He’s already got his arms full with Lee Gilyoung and Lee Jihye, snuggled up against him under the blankets, so he waits until Yoo Jonghyuk slides in next to them to talk. The kids are already passed out, so he speaks over their heads quietly.
“About Han Sooyoung, it’s not that I don’t have faith in her. I just don’t want her doing it alone. She’s already had to shoulder so much in carrying out stories, and I know she wants to, I just don’t want her to feel like she has to do these things alone.”
Yoo Jonghyuk stares at him in silence for a while, sheets pulled up to his chin and hair disheveled. “That’s rich, coming from you.”
Kim Dokja wrinkles his nose in indignation. “Hey, I’ve been making progress. I’m not that kind of guy anymore.”
Clearly ignoring that, Yoo Jonghyuk yawns widely and asks, “Then do you just want to go with her?”
“Absolutely not. I can’t believe how many times I have to say this, but I’m a reader, not a writer. I don’t tell stories.”
Yoo Jonghyuk shoves his face into the pillow, clearly tired of their conversation. “Then what do you want.”
“I just want someone, anyone of the party to go with her; support her while she’s there. They can give some anecdotes to make it look like they’re also sharing their viewpoint.” Kim Dokja absentmindedly blows one of Lee Gilyoung’s stray hairs out of the way.
Yoo Jonghyuk sighs. “We’ll figure it out together later. Goodnight, Kim Dokja.”
“Aish, goodnight, Jonghyuk-ah.”

Just wanted to tell you a love those times when you paint/stick over the character's OG face over their current appearance bc it doesn't match them.
Idk it's such a fun thing and I love it.
Hope you have a nice day and get lots of inspirations whenever you feel like drawing.
AWW thank you so much!! i JUST had a chat with achro about it - how for the kaizenix arc jung heewon and lee hyunsung got stone masks on them, too heavy to take them off themselves, but not connected enough to merge with them completely, how han sooyoung and yoo joonghyuk either grew into the role or overwhelmed it, making the faces theirs, how kim dokja's face is sloppily taped over with him jumping in last, and yoo sangah's painted over, a permanent addition to her new body. it's fun to think about the ways to present how their personalities interact with the way the world sees them, and how the world shows them to us? it's FUN!

A question about your two homelands: South Korea and Uzbekistan
How do you imagine their relationship? Do they know each other? What's others from central asian family relationship with Yong Soo?
teehee(ugly giggling noise)
their relationship is pretty good! recently uzb ordered a railroad system from korea, which is the first time a country purchased a railroad system from korea !! she's truly a trailblazer... mostly, given the economic status of uzb and korea, uzb benefits most from korea rather than the other way around.
the first step in uzbek-korean relations was from the late 90s to the 2000s. during this time, k-dramas first aired in uzbekistan, and the first uzbeks moved to korea mainly in the form of university students studying tech and science(and of which my dad was one of the first to do so lol). so the community was small, but tight.
some of these students would go back to uzbekistan and talk about how developed and nice it was, fueling more interest in korea. some would bring their families/spouses to korea(my dad brought my mom to korea lol), and some would even begin to export uzbek goods to korea(a family friend of ours did this with uzbek melons!! I miss them they were so delish..).
nowadays, the community is gigantic, and uzbeks are the 5th most biggest foreigner group in korea as of 2023. more korean restaurants and products are being introduced in uzbekistan(halal 신라면...what a dream...), though mainly in tashkent.
speaking of tashkent, there's a seoul park since tashkent and seoul are sister cities!! it was made in 2014. however, i don't live in tashkent nor do I have immediate family that does, so i've literally never been around tashkent except for the airport...
another big factor in uzbek-korean relations are the ethnic Koreans(고려사람) that live in uzbekistan. after china and america, uzbekistan has the 3rd largest ethnic korean population at approximately 174000. this was because koreans that immigrated to russia from the late 19th century to early 20th century were forcefully deported to central asia by stalin, accusing them of being japanese spies. since uzbekistan's landlocked with a slightly different climate and crops, they tried their best to mimic korean foods such as kimchi and japchae. uzbeks took note of this and began to eat it as well, as salads called morkovcha and funchoza. morkovcha's actually a popular topping on hotdogs in uzbekistan, which is kinda funny lol
I can see yongsoo taking her around korea to see all sorts of things. they rent hanbok and toured around gyeongbokgung, have a picnic at the han river, and when she feels homesick he takes her to an uzbek restaurant. the first time this happened she probably cried.
they also go cafe hopping, and it's one of her favorite things to do in seoul because of the diverse cafe scene in hongdae and seongsu.
he's one of the people she trusts with taking photos of her the most. he knows what kinds of poses fit the ambiance and vibe, and always angles the camera right. she proudly posts those photos on social media.
watching kdramas is a must!! she probably swoons for a lot of the male love interests lol, and fangirled a bit too hard at gong yoo when she watched goblin. she's glad there's less...intimate scenes compared to a certain other person's dramas...
due to frequent exchange and the sheer number of uzbeks in korea, uzbekistan knows more than enough korean to get around.
yongsoo always takes her to clothing stores and tries finding her pieces that would match her style. she trusts him immensely with this.
bro also gives her love advice lol. what can I say, he's a 2000 year old man trapped in a 20 year old's body. he's got both experience and charm! whether she takes his advice or disregards it is up to her...
he also has other advice regarding an outlook on life, and staying optimistic. he reminds her never to give up on her country and people, since even his war-torn country rose with the power of its people working hard in order to become the success it was today.
other casian countries' relationships speed round!!
kazakhstan: kazakhstan has CU stores, a korean convenience store chain. my kazakh friend showed me how the kazakh chains even have vanilla flavored milk, which is something we don't have here. however as far as im aware, the CU stores are mostly in metropolitan areas. kazakhstan also has an ethnic korean population! there's also more korean companies investing in kazakhstan since they're more developed.
Kyrgyzstan: I couldn't find much, but Kyrgyzstan does have a sizable ethnic korean population also
Tajikistan and turkmenistan: nothing really notable...T^T
in short, korea's known uzbekistan for longer and equally interacts with uzbekistan and kazakhstan!

⌜No Hoods Attached | Chapter 01 Chapter 01 | volunteer work⌟
╰ ⌞🇨‌🇭‌🇦‌🇵‌🇹‌🇪‌🇷‌ 🇮‌🇳‌🇩‌🇪‌🇽‌⌝
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
❘ prev. chapter ❘༻✦༺❘ next chapter ❘
Tumblr media
"I swear, I don't even know how I allowed you to talk me into doing this." You pulled on the collar of your hoodie, feeling yourself growing anxious as you stood outside the double doors of a large stadium.
"Because you owed me and I owed someone else. Kinda handled two things at once, ya' know?" The voice of your best friend, Seora, comes out faintly through the phone pressed up against your ear.
"Yeah, and I thought you'd cash in the favor by me buying you ATEEZ merch or some food, not use it to come and do someone else's job for them." You hissed into the device, a bit frustrated at how nonchalant she sounded. "I can literally go to jail for employment fraud."
"If you stick to the plan, act the part, you won't get caught~"
You sighed in a mixture of annoyance and disappointment as you rubbed the bridge of your nose. "Okay, whatever. What am I supposed to do again?"
"Just walk up to the desk, say you're Han Ji-yoo and one of the volunteers. Hand 'em that ticket stub, and boom! You're good. And don't stress too much; I'll be there in like an hour." As Seora tried quelling your fears, you looked down at your watch only for it to read eight o'clock in the morning; it was time.
After wrapping up your goodbye with your friend, as well as threatening to choke her if you got caught, you hung up the phone, placing it in your pocket.
Taking one more deep breath, you made your way inside the stadium. Walking up to one of the booths, you politely knocked on the window to catch the teller's attention. "What can I do to help you?"
"Um, hi? My name is Han Ji-yoo and I'm one of the volunteers for the BTS concert that's being held today." You knew you must have looked sketchy by the way you kept fidgeting in place.
"Ticket, please?" The teller spoke with a polite smile.
"Oh, right. Just a sec." Fumbling in your hoodie pocket, you took out the ticket Seora gave you, sliding it through the slot.
The teller's eyes were narrowed as he looked down to observe the authentication of the ticket.
You were sweating bullets as you waited for something to happen.
Oh, Gods. Oh, Gods. Oh, Gods. I'm screwed! He knows I'm not Ji-yoo! I'm gonna go to jail and become someone's prison bitchㅡ
Your dramatic and hectic thoughts were disrupted by the teller's voice. "Okay Ms. Han, if you'd just sign here to document your attendance, I'll go fetch your badge." With that, you forged Ji-yoo's signature, something Seora made sure you learned to do, and the teller left the window to get the badge.
As soon as the man was out of sight, you squatted down to the floor, hands on your head as you prayed to any and all the Gods above. You can't believe you just committed identity fraud and got away with it.
Too deep into your miniature breakdown, you didn't notice the teller's reappearance. "Ms. Han?"
You jumped up at once, nearly giving the teller a heart attack. "Hello, sorry, I was tying my shoe."
Clearing his throat, the teller slid the badge through the slot. "Here's your badge, Ms. Han. Be sure to always have this in view around your neck so you aren't mistaken as trespassing," he gave you a laminated card hooked onto a long cord. "Just go down this hallway and turn left when you reach the intersection. There should be a sign on a metal door showcasing the point of where the volunteers go."
"Thank you, have a nice day," you told the teller, picking up the badge and placing it around your neck. You then followed the teller's instructions, arriving at the room in less than ten minutes.
The moment you walked inside, there was a woman that asked to see your badge. "Ms. Han, here is the map as well as your schedule for today." She then handed you two sheets of paper. "You will be located in Group C. Your task, along with the other volunteers of the group, will be to set up the room in which the fan-meeting will be held."
"A fan-meeting?" You looked up, confused at what you heard. "I didn't know there would be a fan meeting after the concert."
The woman gave you a polite smile as if already expecting your response. "This information was withheld from the volunteers to ensure that it wouldn't be leaked out to the public and cause too much chaos."
You nodded your head in understanding. "So where do I go again?"
"Group C is over there by the double doors."
After thanking her, you briskly made your way over to the group of people; there were about twenty in total, a little less than you were inspecting.
"Good afternoon everyone, my name is Kim Sang-hun and today I will be your group leader for Group C." An averaged height male with fading-grey hair stood at the front of the group with a bright smile on his face. "If Mrs. Lee didn't already explain, our task as Group C is to prepare and decorate the room for the fan-meeting that will be held after today's concert." Sang-hun did a bit more explaining as well as answered a few people's questions before telling us all to follow him towards the room where the fan meeting would be held.
Your group walked for a bit before stopping at a metal door that led to a room the size of a high school library with a bunch of white and purple decorations, chairs, and posters sitting in a corner.
"Alright, group." Sang-hun clapped to catch everyone's attention, "Let's get to it."
Tumblr media
Time seemed to move by quickly as you found yourself immersed within the tasks you were given; as soon as you were finished with one thing, you were immediately assigned anotherㅡit was oddly satisfying.
Other than that, you surprisingly found yourself talking and laughing a bit with those around you.
Growing up, you weren't an outgoing child; this often led to you having trouble socializing with others your own age. Honestly, it was a miracle that you and Seora managed to become friends, seeing as she was the complete opposite of you, so you were a bit happy to be able to converse a little with the other volunteers, even if the conversations were no more than four or five minutes long.
The sound of talking and the scraping of chairs filled the room as dozens of people moved about, decorating the room for the upcoming fan-meeting.
Instead of out there with the other volunteers hanging up posters or blowing up balloons, you were seated in a corner tying up purple steamers.
"Hey, Ji-yoo." You continued to knot the streamers together, forgetting that you were posing as Han Ji-yoo; you only remembered when the person repeated the name as well as giving you a tap on the shoulder.
"Huh?" When you looked up, you were greeted by a pretty brunette girl, who was pale with hazel eyes, and had her hair cascading over the side of her neck in waves; her badge read Kim Alex.
"Hi, my name is Alex and I'm so sorry to interrupt you, but there's a girl named Seora looking for you."
You perked up at the mention of your best friend, "Really? Where is she?" You leaned over, trying to see if you'd see her behind Alex.
"She's not here, she's actually in my group, Group F," Alex spoke, seeing your actions. "I just thought I'd let you know since I was asked to tell Group C that it was lunchtime and noticed that you were one of the few that didn't move."
You nodded your head in understanding as you saw other people from your group leaving their spots and walking out of the room. Following suit, you put down the things you were working on, got up, and followed the others, with Alex right behind you.
"So how did you know I was the one she was looking for?" You asked the brunette, wanting to start a conversation.
Alex scratched the back of her neck in a sort of sheepish way. "Seora actually came into the room about an hour ago exclaiming loudly if anyone knew where Lin ____. When no one knew what she was talking about, she went on to describe the person wearing an oversized red hoodie. Someone then told her that no one by that name was a volunteer and that there was a Han Ji-yoo in Group C that fit that description," she explained as the two of you walked down a long hallway with the others. "She apologized and then asked me to pass you the message when I went to fetch Group C."
When Alex finished her explanation, you wanted to both rub your face in exasperation and strangle Seora for unintentionally revealing your identity. "Ha, Seora's such a jokester sometimes." you forcefully laughed with a smile.
Soon enough, you all reached the luncheon area.
"Ji-yoo! Over here!" There, by the table filled with boxed sandwiches, was Seora.
You turned to smile at Alex, "Thanks for giving me Seora's message. Hope you have a good rest of the day," you told the brunette before walking over to deal with your headache.
As soon as you made it to Seora's side, you gave her a swift punch in the side.
"Ow! What the hell was that for?" she hissed, rubbing her side.
"You got me to pretend to be someone else only to reveal my real damn name? What sense does that make?"
Your agitation only grew once you saw the sheepish expression on her face. ""Heh, my bad. It slipped. Got caught in the moment."
Sucking on your teeth, you just shook your head, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's just go get something to eat before you expose me anymore," you told the girl, walking past her to grab a boxed lunch.
"I said I was sorry," she whined, trailing behind you.
Tumblr media
A/N: Like I said in the Blurb, this will be my final and last time re-writing this book. As time passed and as I grew as a writer, I found that my previous form of writing (this book, lol) was HORRIBLE. Like how did y'all even read this shit!? Y'all wrong for not telling me this was trash 🤣🤣. But yeah, I will be re-doing everything, as well as fixing plot holes and giving the Taehyung romance that was not given the first time around.

4 and 10!
hi!
4. do you have any characters you wish interacted more?
this is a difficult one because theres so many relationships i wish we saw more of. orv is so long but its so chock full of interesting characters and dynamics i can easily list like 10 of these. gun to my head though id have to say kim dokja, lee gilyoung and shin yoosoung! every time theyre together they're a unique combination of adorable and heartbreaking. i am dragging his deadbeat dad ass back from whatever suicide hes currently busy attempting and making him have a nice family dinner with the two of them!!
i also think kim dokja and lee jihye have a fucking FASCINATING relationship though....i think out of all of the kids she's the one attempts to mimic his self sacrificial tendencies the most, (all though shin yoosoung and lee gilyoung also try and imitate him if im remembering right.......the cycle of self sacrifice is STRONG in that family) and i think her 'lmao youre so lame old man who even cares about you PLEEEEEAAASSSEE PLEASE DONT GO' dynamic with him is so funny. and also somewhat tragic. so yeah i think my final answer is kim dokja + the youngest trio from kimcom. although i do also spend a lot of time wishing we saw more of yoo jonghyuk and yoo mia.......
10. any popular thing in the fandom you cant stand?
aside from the way so many joongdok fans will erase han sooyoungs importance to the narrative and her relationship with them to facilitate their yaoi (which ive complained about so many times i dont think i need to repeat it here).....ok, this could just be a different interpretation kind of thing but i dislike when people use kim dokjas objectively very warped perception of himself, where he's like 'oh yeah im so evil for caring for these children' to do a complete 180 and be like 'oh hes the best guy ever with no moral complexity'. he did some fucked up stuff!! i dont think hes evil at all. i also think that orv loses a lot of its teeth when you refuse to consider the moral complexity of him only saving a handful of people on that train, or any of the other many instances where he sacrificed random nameless side characters he didnt care about to achieve his goals. were his goals good? yes. but theres still a complexity there that was one of main things that hooked me on orv that i dont see discussed much.
also fellow white fans stop calling kim dokja a rat its racist and its weird. ive been seeing people in the fandom ask white fans to cut that shit out literally since i joined in 2021 and its still ongoing. weird as shit! cut it out!
thanks for the ask <3<3<3

My Demon
Tumblr media
TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024
My Demon (2023/24, South Korea)
Director: Kim Jang Han
Writer: Choi Ah Il
Mini-review:
Look, I'm not gonna lie. I started this drama for a very superficial reason: Kim Yoo Jung and Song Kang are one of the most gorgeous couples I've ever seen. And tbh, that's one of the things that kept me watching until the end. The first half was pretty fun, thanks to their will-they-won't-they dynamic and some really funny supporting characters and recurring gags. Unfortunately, it began to drag around the middle part, and then it got more and more boring with each passing episode. By the time the final episode came out, I no longer cared about the plot, the characters or anything else (although the ending itself was quite nice). With all that in mind, I can't help but think My Demon would have worked much better as a movie.

voice actor!kdj
Voice Actor!Kim Dokja. 
Kim Dokja is not a well known voice actor. The only reason why he voiced acted was that he needed money to save himself from starvation after quitting Minosoft. It didn’t pay well but it will suffice.
And he had fun, surprisingly. He gets to voice characters that give the stories life. He loves it but he simply wishes they could pay him higher. After years of voice acting he was able to voice in most of the games/ animes there are… but the thing is he was never the main character. He would either be an NPC or the brother of the main protagonist sometimes he would be a character that dies in a few episodes. Not an extra but not worth remembering. And for Kim Dokja it was fine because in his head all characters are essential to the stories and being a part of it matters to him. Not fame or money just being able to be them for a quick second matters. 
There is only one voice that could make the Yoo Joonghyuk melt. 
Yoo Joonghyuk has been listening to one voice but in a different character. He doesn’t know why it just lurked him in. From the waiver of his voice whenever there is an emotional scene or to the way his voice dimmed when he finally knows it's his ending. It just sends Yoo Joonghyuk shivers down his spine. He wondered why the person behind such a melodic voice didn’t get any protagonist part. It is really hard to look into the life of the voice actor. 
The guy’s name is Kim Dokja, known for his variety of voicebanks. He doesn’t have any socials nor any face reveals. He’s just there and yet the voice he uses to create characters is so bizarre and so complex. Like he knew how crucial such a character is to the story. 
Over time, Yoo Joonghyuk fell in love with the voice his face he couldn’t see.  And though he could not meet him in person he was forever grateful for the man whose voice he loves.
He is contented.
Han Sooyoung invited Yoo Joonghyuk to an ani/game convention. Since he didn’t do anything he said yes, he needed to look for some gift for Mia anyway and lately Mia was into princely type ladies. 
Han Sooyoung mentioned that she was bringing another friend who is a voice actor and didn’t interact with people for a month and she’s forcing him out. Yoo Joonghyuk shrugged, he didn’t care. 
“This stupid squid is so late as always! He is pissing me off I will literally shove a tomato in his mouth I swear to God,” she grumbled, checking for her phone once again.
Yoo Joonghyuk leaned on the wall, as they wait for her friend. 
“FuCK! there he is! YAH! Kim Dokja YOU BASTARD” When Han Sooyoung spotted her friend, she yelled at the man who was running towards their bubble. Yoo Joonghyuk blinked, he stood rigid. 
Kim Dokja? Oh, no no that’s simply coincidence.
There’s no way Han Sooyoung is friends with Kim Dokja ( his favorite va, the person whom he would be willing to way dirt. ) 
When Han Sooyoung’s friend finally arrived, he was wheezing and sweating after running. He wiped the sweat that was falling on his neck.
He looked at Han Sooyoung with an irritating look then at Yoo Joonghyuk, he stared for awhile and blinked owlishly, he tilted his head a bit and smiled.   
“Hi! I’m Kim Dokja. I hope I didn’t make you wait. You must be Yoo Joonghyuk!” 
Ah, there it is. 
Yoo Joonghyuk stumbled, and his knees immediately weaken.
No fucking way is this the voice ( man??) of his dreams! He was literally thinking of him ( his voice) every night. But alas he is really real and really pretty. And Yoo Joonghyuk can’t wait to hear him scre— 
He cleared his throat,
“It’s nice to meet you”
when he spoke his voice changed pitched and cracked. Han Sooyoung laughed loudly, Yoo Joonghyuk can’t help but blush in embarrassment, he wanted to strangle this witch. 
when he heard a cute giggle, stopped glaring, and looked at Kim Dokja.
Shit, He fell in love once again and this time it’s the man who made him go weak with his voice ( but he doesn’t need to know that yet—)
