Due To The Unfortunate!

Ok Barnes & Nobles. I see you.

once again thinking abt ORV as one of the most brilliant and self-aware genre commentaries ever, cus' isekai/transmigration is-- in my experience-- a deeply lonely genre. the yearning to be plucked from the stress and apparent dead spiral of real life and dropped into a setting where you matter somehow. the fact that this transmigration is often by way of death, completely abandoning the real world, is particularly telling and... bleak. but whether it's a recognition of being 'the most baddass dude', the narrative satisfaction of trying to 'fix' the plot of a doomed story, or even just befriending characters we've laughed and cried for, we want so badly to be a part of something more.

and the way ORV recognizes that and doesn't mock it, but gently reminds us that... real life isn't removed from that. it may not be as straightforward and 'narratively' satisfying as a constructed story, but we can enact change in the world around us, and we can find connection and solidarity in others. the things we want from escapism are things we often can achieve in real life, at least on a small scale. if only we recognize the inherent depth and complexity of others as, y'know, fully-realized human individuals. hell, if we recognize ourselves as more than simple characters with set paths and tropes.

ORV takes every opportunity to remind us that we are not alone, no matter how bleak and isolated we feel. our lives are constantly touching others and vis-versa, and we leaves marks on the world we can't possibly predict. we matter, we always always matter

puppet of the oldest dream

I was working on the 32nd part of the Dokhyuk moments, but all of the sudden, I am hit with the middle section of chapter 412. I’m sorry what is this and why does no one talk about it? If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, here’s a hint: The romantic subtext and the chemistry between Metatron and Agares.

So, I decided to take a break from Dokhyuk and write down the moments between two old men. Or the moment, I suppose.

Metatron x Agares

Agares laughed again, sounding as if he was sick and tired of it. Metatron understood the meaning of this laughter better than anyone.

*sighs

The ‘Good and Evil’; they might be on the opposing sides, but they understood each other better than anyone else in the world.

That sound familiar to anyone? *looks at Dokja*

[You always needed to be told multiple times before you could understand]

This- this is a line that has been used in romcoms from centuries. Childhood friend confessing to the dense MC culture. This is told from Matatron’s point of view-

Even then, he had never seen that kind of an expression from the latter before.

🔳At that moment, Good and Evil looked at each other🔳

And he looks at me; and I look at him; and he looks at me; and I’ll stop now.

Um. This parallels to Dokja not being able to read Jonghyuk’s expression that one time.

[That is a funny thing for a Demon King to say.]

[I’m only saying it now, but to me, you don’t look much like an Archangel yourself.]

Metatron heard Agares’s sullen voice and couldn’t help but feel strange. Why did the demon he fought against for such a long time feel so, so close today?

Orv head canon of the day: “Metatron is a bratty, dense sub.” (Forgive me father for I have sinned)

But, he was sure of one thing. —

Even if they had become the Fable itself, what they chose to do now wasn’t because Fables told them to do so.

Aaaa look at the power couples of this webnovel just defying the laws of the universe. It brings tears to my eyes- (the tears are caused by my dumb•• accidentally spraying hand sanitizer in myself lol)

[I can’t do this alone]

[I know]

[The ‘Wall that Divides Good and Evil’ is shaking violently]

With one wall between them, the representatives of ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’ extended their hands toward each other.

They’re holding hands （≧∇≦）

This is pure romcom energy, and I will fight you if you say otherwise.

The Archangel and the Demon King held each other’s hands. With that, the sealing tool emitted blinding rays of light and began expanding at a rapid pace.

And soon, it couldn’t be called a tool anymore, but a large ship, instead.

The ‘large ship’ is the Metatron x Agares ship, hop aboard.

This yet again parallels Dokja and Jonghyuk holding hands as they announce their new nebula.

They have less than half of one chapter of dialogue yet there’s so many parallels.

Because Dokja didn’t name his nebula ‘Forbidden ••’, we should give- I should really stop now.

As the fragments of stories splattered around like real blood, the latter looked up into the sky.

[Isnt this beautiful, Metatron? This is our end.]

The duet of ‘Good and Evil’ dimly continuing on was now flowing within the night sky of the apocalypse.

He saw the cascading meteor shower and grinned brightly.

ROMCOM ENERGY. That is all I will say.

Am I ashamed of myself for doing this? Yes.

(I was going to do a double update for the Dokhyuk Moments, but this took up so much of my time-)

teaser WIP for a longer animation coming soon..
