Story of Kim Dokja’s life
Story of my life
girls when Han Sooyoung sacrificed 63+ years of her life for kdj and yjh traveled the galaxies for hundreds of years for him but they can’t even get a text back
dudebros will be like “stop making everything gay, they’re just friends ☹️”
and the friends in question refer to each other as “life and death companions” or “my one and only”
how do you love something thats always been dead? :(
another gem taken from the manhwa 😞
Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint – Chapter 175: Ep. 33 - Reading Again, VI
Maturing is realizing that Jongdok transcends the bonds of even romantic love
the “how is orv not a bl” line is actually really interesting to me because the way joongdok is written in orv kinda reminds me of old mangas (specifically shounen) from the 80s-90s where because of ~the times~ the story is centered on these action-filled, dramatic narrative arcs but had loads and loads of hints between the lines. the leads (or side characters) have stifling Homoerotic Tension and, often, really fucking explosive soap opera storylines
You know, the we’re gonna divorce fight and make it everyone else’s problem arcs (This is often an arc involving conflicting morals and/or a blackening of 1/2 of the pair)?
The we’re not explicitly a canon pair but we’re also not not together
The are we gonna fuck fight or battle to the death dynamic
The yeah we could be together but at this point to boil down what we have to a simple relationship is just not enough of a summary of our shared history
The ambiguous description of being one soul, one pair, partners, companions, one and only, etc. but never actually saying they’re romantically together
A lot of titles before had that undefined devotion between characters, where everyone in-world just accepts that yeah those two would damn the world and us for each other type of crazy
I guess that’s why i really love joongdok too. They bring that nostalgic, show-don’t-tell approach to love and absolute batshit insane devotion without having to be tagged as BL
(I have to say however, in the interest of avoiding misunderstandings, that I am not against BL works. I simply find this type of storytelling interesting and, again, nostalgic.)
Reblogging this again to talk about how detailed and canon-accurate the art is.
The way Jonghyuk is cradling Dokja in his arms, holding on for dear life? The way his eyes are closed as he tries to worship Dokja (to try and prove how loved he is), as he tries to drown himself on the action??
And Dokja’s eyes are open, almost dead looking. It’s uncanny in a way you can’t tell if he really is dead or if he is detaching himself from the moment they way he usually does. The way his hand is positioned so…casually? It’s as if he can’t bring himself to stay in the moment. It’s as if he’s trying to push Jonghyuk away
Last Kiss
ok han sooyoung
“I can fix him-“ Actually, I like that he’s broken. If he changed, he’d loose the reason I’m attracted to him. We are not the same.
was trying to angst about orv but then I remembered that several gods and goddesses participated in shipwar culture
yoo jonghyuk is actually so me because if I found out my sacrificial situationship saw me as nothing more than a character in a book come to life, I too would throw a hissy fit and try to kill them
yeah yjh went to THERAPY
Kim Dokja and Han Sooyoung are similar in the sense that they refuse to learn about themselves.
HSY actively refused to use Predictive Plagiarism to find out why she wanted to follow KDJ's plans.
The both call Yoo Junghyuk emotionally constipated but from my perspective, those two are even worse... at least YJK has self awareness. He does a lot of introspection.
KDJ and HSY avoid it like the plague.
remember that time yoo joonghyuk rode kim dokja like a surfboard to escape the gay allegations?
yoohankim is so funny because wdym your boyfriend beheaded you the first time y’all met? wdym he choked you out and threw you inside a monster?
what if i was a squid and you were a sunfish and a were in love 🥺
AU where yjh is Batman, hsy is Joker, and kdj is Catwoman
daughter who would ruin hundreds of universes for her lover
or
son who would travel to hundreds of different universes to find his lover?
