Happy Birthday To The One And Only Sunfish Bastard Yoo Joonghyuk. Our (former) Regressor, The Spacefarer,

Happy birthday to the one and only sunfish bastard Yoo Joonghyuk. Our (former) regressor, the spacefarer, supreme king, conquering king, puppet of the oldest dream, (I cannot spell his name) Kaixenix, the punisher, breaking the sky sword beauty, 33 unemployed, the one who ate dirt, etc etc etc…

And Secretive Plotter too <3 the one who hides under the veil of stars but can never hide from the gaze that is called The Reader. May you both have happy lives with your found families or succeed in your search to complete that found family.

Bless LOTM for keeping my sanity in check as I deal with jet lag. Gotten to the 400 threshold and the way this story goes from “casual daily activities” to “OH FUCK WE’RE FUCKED WE’RE SO COOKED” at the drop of a hat is the wildest thing I’ve ever seen.

Like one day Klein would just be hanging out doing his stuff and tomorrow he’s gonna be attacked by some high sequence beyonder associate. Backlund Land of Hope my ass it’s Backlund Land of Absolutely Dangerous Beings. Also the way he’s like “I’m gonna avenge you captain” and his burning desire for revenge is so huge that he’s like “I’m going to achieve semi divinity and half of the reason why is because I’m gonna kill you Ince.”

Got to LOTM Volume 3!!!!!! Yippee!!! Oh, man, the story just keeps getting better and better. Miss Ctrl+alt+delete really saved Klein’s ass back there in the Vol 2 end fight (RIP Old Kohler I liked him noooooooooooo why Cuttlefishhhh). Will halt the LOTM art every time I finish a volume thing for now. I wanna do a thing when I finish all the volumes and make a collage or something.

Vol 2 thoughts :

-man I want that quill burnt along with Zangwill

-AZIK OUR GOAT, OUR TEACHER, OUR SAVIOR

-Emlyn is just living the life fr. Beyonder powers since birth, cool (and alive) family, lawful, honest jobs, hobby that doesn’t hurt anyone. Dude is just chilling and doing his own thing here.

-Xio : works to death, risks her life multiple times due to the Fool

Klein : mhm.

Fors : ow curse oh no losing control

Klein : yea you’re in

Klein I have no issues against that but- please don’t forget our girl Xio… (I love Xio. She’s just kicking ass and living with pride right now.)

-Why is Trissy suddenly pathetic…..

-There was a period of time that I got so paranoid of Brody that I ended up googling if Brody was some secret enemy. Glad to know he’s just a cat. Glad to know we can still enjoy cat doing cat things here without freaking out if it’s some secretly horrific entity.

-Klein agrees to help catch an affair and gets tangled in ten other matters at once. Purely through. Coincidence. Sure. Sure sure. Yeah. Haha. Coincidence. Right..

Vol 3 thoughts so far :

-Danitz is hilairous. I absolutely adore his character and his chaotic energy when combined with Gehrmann. It’s a weird variant of stupid and smart except it’s stupid by circumstance and smart outside, panicking inside. Anyways it’s a great combo of flavors.

-I love, love the Gehrmann Sparrow persona and Klein’s occasional contradictory thoughts and internal panic. That said, the latter makes me sad reading them sometimes. Like he’s just. On high alert. Dude is like “o yea this is nothing I’ve seen/heard/encountered worse :D” like it’s a good thing… the only way it’s a good thing is that if you’re Klein and Klein specifically.

-on that note, WHY CAN’T KLEIN JUST GET A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP COME ON

-“this is madness” I felt something there and it’s a bad feeling

-Klein’s list of jobs so far : secret police, detective, cult leader, professional schemer, dropshipper, seer, clown, magician, Batman, assassin, food enthusiast, adventurer, bounty hunter, and also, babysitter

-Klein’s list of crimes grows in adjacent to his list of occupations

-Forget horrifying entities, The Fool’s real weakness is food and money

LOTM Vol 4’s ending

You nearly just died multiple times. You nearly gave up but you can’t, because this man was the result of many tragedies, including yours. You think of the face you hadn’t seen for a long time, realizing he had always been around after all. This revenge was for you, and for him as well. Then he shows up, not as Sherlock Moriarty, not as Gehrman Sparrow, but as the face you always knew. It’s so familiar. Yet, is that really the true him? Had you ever known him? He enacts the revenge, while the person who stuck together with you from the beginning, the one who also fought for a bygone, familiar person, dies peacefully in his arms, while he wears another familiar face. You think you see him again, then he seems to take on another face again in that moment. It’s as if he has gone far away again. It’s so familiar, that stranger.

Ink Demonth 2024 Day 3 : Hoax

Hoax

“That isn’t funny.”

Joey couldn’t tell whether or not the sight in front of him was a joke.

Yes, the little devil couldn’t be real. It simply isn’t possible.

It’s all an illusion.

And yet, why did he feel compelled to keep conversing with this obviously very imaginary figure?

The ‘Bendy’ in front of him grinned even wider, spinning in a playful manner atop Henry’s desk sprawled with nearly-done animation frames. His sketch-like appearance leapt from furniture to furniture, leaving a trail of black pen-like sketches behind in each step.

Finally, his shoes landed with a soft thud on the stool next to Joey.

“You should laugh.” His mouth didn’t open, but the twisted voice reverberated in Joey’s head. He was fearful, but also confused, and strangely, quite fascinated. 

The grin widened.

“This is the best show you’ll ever see in your entire lifetime.” 

Bendy reached out a hand in a taunting manner.

Joey hated the way those words are ordered in such a fashion that it would only target him, and him only. 

He felt another emotion entering his whirlpool of thoughts at that moment- anger. The rage began to seep in, turning his shivering body hot.

He opened his mouth to speak, but could only let out a hoarse croak.

“What?” Bendy laughed, seemingly immediately knowing what Joey was about to say. “No, no, no, no! This is not a hoax! Not a lie, not a trick! Oh- you’re laughing too hard, pal!”

Bendy spoke some more words afterwards. Something about “his joke that shouldn’t be praised” or “after all- it is not a joke!”, but Joey could hear none of it.

He could only feel the tears trickling down his face.

Joey eyes wandered as he kept watching Bendy jump up and down in an excited manner. He felt as if he had lost control of his facial muscles at that moment.

He couldn’t help but ponder what kind of expression he was making right now. 

Would his teeth be clattering, or gritting? Would he be frowning so deep, so exaggerated that perhaps it’d be as if Henry had drawn a crooked Bendy smile on his face? Or would he be smiling right now? A smile that mirrored the little devil opposite to him….

“Okay- okay! Are you ready to hear me out now!?” Bendy cried out in an impatient manner, putting his hands to his waist and staring down at Joey from the top of the stool.

Joey’s eyes fell into a daze again.

Bendy’s smile grew so huge, Joey wondered if it would split his cheeky face apart.

“Yes! Yes, of course you are!” Bendy excitedly exclaimed. The little devil darling then slowly, and carefully leaned his back over to Joey, like a snake slowly coiling around its prey.

Joey could hear the voice speak again, in a soft, gentle manner- akin to Henry’s..

“Listen carefully, this is how to bring Henry back to life……”

Bendy : The Untrusted AU - Prologue (Part 0/5)

I am about mmm.. 850~ ish into LOTM and MAN!!! *slams table* *forgets my thoughts* JKJK!!! Holy MOLY!!!!!! Everything is crazy!!!! I am so glad I still have 600 or so chapters of this amazingness left!!! Oh Leonard I love you. I also adore Will Auceptin’s personality lmao. Oh the Foggy Town arc? Holy, crap!!! Everything is falling into place?? And Klein’s therapy session made me wonder about how even to a reader, I still ponder whether Klein’s actions are truthful or not, or if he’s still holding something back. Truly a fool in every sense of the word!! Ah- Leonard’s little grave digging adventure is- just- the emotions he felt, I could completely get it. The writing is mwah immaculate!!

Also Klein bullying Leonard in his own dream LMAO. I can imagine that whenever that will get adapted into anime Klein would just be staring at Leonard through the wine glass like that one scene from PMMM Rebellion with Homura and Sayaka. Oh speaking of which the new trailer?????? I’m screaming. As an ORV and LOTM reader I’m eating good yum yum. Mm that sounds a little off in the ORV sense but HEY!!!
