the 5 vault tracks on 1989 (Taylor’s Version) are really the 5 emotional stages of a break up…

1. “SLUT!” : doubting

2. say don’t go : pleading

3. now that we don’t talk : acceptance

4. suburban legends : nostalgia/ reminiscing

5. is it over now? : confrontation

Things I expected when I started reading eleceed:

1) Cats

2) Action

3) Comedic Appeal

Things I was NOT prepared for

1) Whatever the hell Kayden and kartein have going on

2) Seriously their dynamic is so intriguing

3) Kayden calling Kartein the most beautiful awakened one living in my head rent free

4) Kayden somehow having Kartein's private phone number???

5) Kartein, infamous for not answering healing requests, shows up after 1 request from Kayden

6) Kayden always standing guard when Kartein is vulnerable while healing 🥹

Live action this and Animation that, c'mon guys....

We all know, that deep down, eleceed would be perfect in a sitcom style show

i said it once, I'll say it again:

ORV is a book by the readers, for the readers

it IS super funny that orv starts out like "hoo hee i'm just a normal self-inserty power fantasy protagonist! my name is literally 'reader!' just an office worker turned action hero you can project onto slash look up to 🥰" and then very quickly shows that 1. no the fuck he isn't and 2. the story is a detailed interrogation of the nature of self-insert escapist power fantasy. and then the endgame twist that hits you like an emotional freight train is that orv is, in fact, actually very much a self-insert story about how you 🫵 are deeply loved and your survival matters so much that this book was written just to help you find reasons to live. idiot.

Given the popularity I'm seeing for Kayden×Kartein on both webtoon and Tumblr, I have a question for you guys

What made you ship them? When did you see the potential?
