Someone in the comment section of a site made the CUTEST uriel symbolic form crochet for the new orv chapter! I don't want to post it here because obviously, I didn't make it. Check it here and give it likes :<.
Thoughts about the chapter? the dokja simps are having a feast!
Ques 4,9 and 14 for orv ask game ^^
4: lee seolhwa and kim dokja. I love lsh so so much you dont understand. she studies kdj with a magnifying glass like hes an insect she keeps in her glass jar... what can i say. women in stem 💗 kdj is never really seen to accept her, individually, as a real person outside the narrative he’s put her in. sure, he gets character development, he no longer sees his companions as mere representations of the text he’s read, but in the end we never got much of an interaction between them acknowledging all of this :( I NEED to get lsh closure. I need her to know that kdj doesnt think of her as just yjh’s dead wife anymore. at least i hope he doesnt. lsh has soo so much potential as a character imo. theres so much to explore. her, staying behind at the industrial complex’s hospital, thinking her work will never be acknowledged by the person that saved her just because she’s not at the front lines in every scenario….. lee seolhwa i will always love you. i would punch kim dokja in the face for you. 9. kim dokja ❤️ mainly because: he's the main character, we see from his perspective, pretty much everyone likes him. as a result i get to see so many different kim dokjas based on everyone's headcannons... this is what i love!!!!!! sometimes he looks like a twink. sometimes he looks like an solo leveling ass ikemen mc. sometimes he looks like a dead wife. sometimes he is composed of 4 consecutive lines in artwork. this is it, i think. the peak fandom experience i think he's just really. easy to draw. you dont really have to have any expectations of yourself to fulfill when you try to draw him. he turned out to be ugly? so in character! he turned out to be beautiful? so in character! turned out to be the most average man in existence? so in character. no matter the headcannons, no matter how different everyone views this story, there is still one thing we all have in common. we love this guy. as for 14. ...im not sure. this is like asking to choose a favourite between my children. but i think Good and Evil will always have a special place in my heart. hsy will always paint herself as the villain, yjh will always choose to be good. kim dokja will always be the [demon king] of [salvation]. loved the duet of good and evil, loved orv big bang and the separation of good and evil.
Yoo Joonghyuk being broken by everything having gone so well. It's never explicitly stated, but it's very heavily implied that someone always dies from Yoo Joonghyuk's team by the time the Seoul Dome is broken. Either that, or something terrible in general happens (Seoul being wrecked, etc).
In Kim Dokja's round, he had everyone. They were alive. Nobody was seriously hurt. Everything was going so well. This man who appeared in this round only was creating miracles, even if Yoo Joonghyuk doesn't like the self-sacrificing stuff (because he's realized he's come to care about Kim Dokja a lot. Enough so that he doesn't want to have to continue the scenarios without him, and the only reason he's willing to do so is because Kim Dokja told him that he had to. And Yoo Joonghyuk is good about following through on what his companions ask of him, even if he pretends he won't, and that's putting aside how deeply Kim Dokja's words impacted him) but Kim Dokja's actions had created the best story for them yet.
And then, seemingly at random, the Outer God descends and destroys everything and everyone.
It's like an unfair glitch in a game destroying all of your progress. Everything you had worked for, gone in an instant. But it's worse because he loved and cared for all of them. And the final straw was his worst fear coming true: Kim Dokja does not exist in this round. He doesn't exist in the next one either. He can't find him, and he can't do the things that Kim Dokja did. He never knew the man's plan. He lost his guiding star. Kim Dokja was the one person who had understood him, and that was someone he had been looking for for so long. Between the two things, he was broken, and desperate, and made many, many more mistakes than he would have.
It's a bad ending, plain and simple. And though the story doesn't say it, end game readers who understand the context also know that that Yoo Joonghyuk would be doomed to never reaching the end of the story and never getting the answers he wants. Because the man who had the key to reaching the epilogue was taken away by the cruel twist of the Star Stream.
unacceptable casualty
