Intro

Hi, I’m May, she/her

More than old enough

Queer, Swiss & Serbian

I write fanfics and make moodboards and reblog lots of fanwork I like

My main fandom used to be Naruto, but is now shifting into ORV. Aside from those two fandoms, I still post some Marvel stuff and others, such as MDZS or Black Sails

You can find all my fandom posts that aren’t fics or moodboards (e.g. fic concepts, headcanons, AUs, character analysis, silly posts etc.) under the tags #may talks naruto, #may talks orv, and #may talks marvel

Most of my reblogs are queued. If I liked something from you, it’s there. It’s a long queue, so it takes a while until it posts

Sometimes I post/reblog NSFW stuff and I refuse to tag it or use content labels, so be warned

If you’re an anti, I am anti you

Rotating Anna Croft and Lee Seolhwa around, I think it's interesting how they're both healers of different types. Anna Croft's blood made of elixir heals, but she also loses blood, anyone who consumes a large quantity of her blood will be under her control if their status is lower than hers. Her healing comes at a price for her and possibly whoever she applies it to. It's a gamble and she has a chance at high returns. Lee Seolhwa is a doctor who has practical knowledge from pre-scenarios and adjusts to helping patients in an apocalyptic world that turns everything into stories. She's able to apply her skills in diverse ways with her knowledge creating healing ointments, the life and death pill, and even has an unique skill [Stretcher] which summons a net-like medical bed. When compared to the diverse skills Lee Seolhwa has, Anna Croft's method of healing is a lot more rigid and straightforward, with an edge to it that gives her an advantage especially if the consumer is unaware. I think it suits them quite well, Anna who makes people rely on her and has an increased chance to control. Lee Seolhwa who is relied on and uses her skills in a variety of ways to help others.

I miss my favorite minosoft workers

One of my favorite scenes in the novel is when they hold hands and Dokja’s heart rate slows down (instead of speeding up as it typically does in romantic scenes)🥹

So. orvs metatextual nature and fujoshis. orv is an action fantasy book, a genre designed primarily for men and starring men. now most of these books are not gay, but there is often a tendency by audiences (particularly female audiences) to see some level of romantic tension between male characters. orv is no exception to this. some authors respond with outright hostility when they see fans shipping their male characters, and some simply ignore it completely - but some go the route sing shong does.

orv is a metatexual narrative which is aware of its genre and aware of its readers. those readers are represented in the narrative, and sing shong knowing that fans would see a possible relationship between kim dokja and yoo joonghyuk made sure to represent that too. so we get uriel, the fujoshi angel who is constantly reading into kim dokjas and yoo joonghyuks relationship in a way that is often played for laughs. now on the whole i think this is a more positive portrayal of fujoshis than not. uriel is treated with affection by the main characters, who genuinely like her (and the fans she represents by association). her love for joongdok is implied to come from her having a crush on her friend and projecting, which i see as a much kinder depiction than the usual ‘slavering fujo’ trope. 

and perhaps most importantly her engagement with the story seen as just as deep as any other reader if not more so! wherever it comes from, uriels engagement with kim dokja’s story is shown to be a genuine and deep one appreciated by the characters. through this sing shong is almost directly speaking to the shippers in the fanbase who are often mocked or disregarded, saying that their love for the story is important too, wherever it comes from. i see this as sweet, and i like that unlike so many other authors sing shong recognise the role shippers often have in a story’s success.

however, i hesitate to give sing shong too much credit. like i said above, sing shong knew that people would ship their characters, as that is what happens with books like orv. and so they wrote in many jokes about it, jokes based around the ‘silliness’ of those who would assume kim dokja and yoo joonghyuk have romantic feelings for each other. and given orv’s metatexual nature, this has broader implications. when uriel smiles at kim dokja and yoo joonghyuk's interactions and kim dokja 'feels a shiver run down his spine', it implies that uriel is something to shiver at, that being assumed queer is too.

so you get this overall impression of a narrative that ultimately loves all of it’s readers, including shippers, but also isn’t afraid to say it thinks all that gay stuff is kinda silly. dont get me wrong, as a queer person in the webnovel scene i am no stranger to making the characters queer and pretending the author is laughing with me and not at me. im not trying to preach to anyone here. but i also think its important to acknowledge the conversation orv is having here - its valuing of shippers and its mocking of queerness, and where they overlap.
