Me? I'm nobody worth your attention, but feel free to call me Fungi, dear traveler.
…
You truly must wish to know me if you're still here. Alright, follow me.
My rules…
there aren't many, at most, don't be hateful, my dear. unless you want to get lost in the woods, that is.
About me…
mostly called fungi, but honestly? fungus, mushroom, shroomie... all of them are quite enough, but don't get too fixated on titles and names, even traveler or woods may suffice, as long as you wish.
about pronouns… they/them are the ones i use the most, but i don't mind any, life's too short to care about such things.
My likes…?
as always, anything related to loz and pokemon are mostly deserving of my attention, but i do/did write for genshin, honkai and other medias, if you wish for something, do ask and I'll try to give you my answer. (new)
current obsessions include, but are not limited to gsgw, dod, amkhi and most well know manhwas similar to it.
My works…
interested in my writings? oh, I'm deeply honoured. it may not be much, but feel free to take a look.

But if we assume that saheon wants soleum to trust him and depend on him more..that has already been achieved no?
Example \When the drunken group was being deployed and they chose soleum too, an unexpected situation, he thought of where’s baek saheon? Then instead of thinking he must have abandoned him,he thought he must have been held back by the researcher
And him going into the vent with him
Also whenever saheon would ask something he would answer pretty truthfully like how he told him he saw ho’s office etc..
This means right now he completely trusts saheon..tho you can say that he might think saheon is going this far for the items, but cmon doesn’t he know saheon wouldn’t really go that far especially if it risks his life or position?
So maybe he unconsciously knows saheon cares about him,and he trusts and depends on him too…at least for now,idk how they’ll be like next time they meet
Side note i really love how soleum is so straightforward in his words towards saheon;telling him he’s glad to see him again, that he’s worried , thanking him
Hmmm does it not feel like ever since the jisan incident this is how he wanted to treat saheon(and he did in his agent persona) but there has always been a barrier and now that it’s finally gone he can be honest towards him? Idk to me soleum seems so soft in the way he treats saheon (of course with some teasing here and there) but readers seem to not notice it much since right now saheon is louder about his affection especially from reader’s perspective ( albeit in a tsundere way)
-----------
A.
KSE certainly finds BSH to be a lot more trustworthy than he used to be, yeah! I was struck by him telling him about Ho's office too!
And in today's ep (397) he even understood "saheon language" aka he realized when BSH demands that he convince him, it means BSH is asking for a justification he can tell himself to go with him!
:)
TBH I think KSE is just a caring person who tends to get attached to people in general. And yeah, after Jisan etc, after he comes to know BSH a lot better… He definitely got attached.
Like, here's how he was in manor of the blind.
[ep43]
Right. Since we successfully made the candles that required three people, Baek Saheon isn't needed anymore.
'I only got him to accompany me to protect my mentals'
Honestly, wouldn't it be no big deal if that guy died? Actually, it might even be better for society if he died.
And here's how he is during casino arc. (trying to convince BSH to participate in the Russian Roulette)
[ep267]
In any case, it would be difficult for that guy to leave us behind and explore this subway alone amidst this insane, catastrophy-level disaster.
Eventually, he would either end up completely contaminated, becoming like Assistant Manager Lee Seonghae, or wake up in reality after taking euthanasia pills - and there's no need for him to go through that risk.
…That said.
'… But what if you really do die?'
Although the doubt regarding that tiny probability is chilling.
It is something that must be done, whether you consider it rationally, or emotionally.
A shiver ran down my spine, but I did not let go of the arm I was holding. Because letting him escape from here would result in a longer and more painful death.
So in the span of 200 eps, KSE went from 'Society might be better off with this guy dead' to 'He shouldn't have to take the risk of being contaminated, or going through a more painful death experience. I have to convince him to brave this and take the quicker way out.'
So yeah KSE got attached to BSH. There has been a growing softness there, I agree.
And judging from 370 & 371 and also seeing how he didn't question BSH talking about giving him his dream essence, he definitely remembers about BSH's contribution to him going home too.
Culminating in the present…
The thing is, judging from recent eps, I think BSH wants KSE to, like, consider the two of them to be a team together, like he himself obviously does. Like he wants to be that special to KSE 😭
In a way I think he is tbh! Like as of this moment I think BSH may be the closest to a comfortable same-age friend (idk if they're same age but anyway) in the DER world that KSE has, someone you can both trust and say harsh words jokingly towards, the way he seemingly did with his irl friends & his little sibling. (He has other friends with very sweet relationships of course but I don't think he has this sort of teasing relationship with them).
Y’all know how the whole ‘scent’ thing is used in fics? Mainly Savanaclaw but also for the ones with keen senses - like Vil, for example. Also the octo-trio. Grim too.
Honestly anyone could fit this. Smell’s a keen sense. Like how we can catch a wif of something and get sent back to a memory stuck in the vault.
Yeah so…we’re in consensus that they’d hoard the prefect’s perfume like it’s a lifeline? After they go home? Saw an animation where Ace kept their phone so he could call it and hear their voicemail. Now we’re here.
-
Riddle - who couldn’t bring himself to pilfer from your abandoned dorm and dislikes that he seriously considered it. Too nervous to ask what scent you wore but forever associates it with evenings in the library. Catching it on your wrist whenever you’d hand him a book. Mixed with the smell of old books and burning wax.
Trey - who borrowed one of your ties and decided not to return it. Not unless you asked. You didn’t. The scent’s almost gone, but he can figure out the main components. Buy something similar.
Cater - who has a handful of scrunchies and hairpins. You’d carry them for him. Lined up on your wrist like cased sausages. They all smell like you now. One even with a bit of spilled nail polish on it. Navy blue. Not Cater’s.
Deuce - who doesn’t think about it at first. Until he’s helping clean up your room and drops a small bottle on the ground. It cracks and the scent of cheap perfume permeates into the wood floor. He digs through the shards for a label, ignoring the cuts on his hands.
Ace - who sleeps in your room under the pretense that it’s for Grim’s sake. It’s not dorm betrayal. This was his room as much as it was yours. He’d sneak out or take a collar as much as Riddle’s patience lasts. Since he can’t sleep anywhere else.
Leona - who’s been close enough to you to memorize the scent. He knows the brand. Knows the make and year. Some cheap body spray that barely lasts longer than a few hours. Like gum. He sprays some on his pillows before bed, burying his nose between them and pretends it’s you.
Ruggie - who couldn’t help himself. He swiped your half-empty bottle with practiced ease. Using it sparingly, down to the last drop, spritzing just enough on his collar to make it through the hard times. Doesn’t matter the price now. He tries to tell himself ‘when it’s out, i’m done’ but he said that when you left and look at him now.
Jack - who forgets entirely. Until weeks pass and he finds one of ‘your’ sweaters in his room. A little travel sized perfume in the pocket. He sprays some on the collar and presses it to his nose. For a moment, you’re there.
Azul - who’s paid for new couches in the VIP room. Scent permeates into leather and you’ve spent night after night curled on the originals. They’re moved to his bedroom, where he sleeps on them more than his own bed.
Floyd - who’s used to everything smelling too big. The surface world’s full of more pungent notes. He asks (demands) rather garishly for whatever you had. Soap, perfume, lotion - he doesn’t care. In a world where smells are too big, yours has become too small.
Jade - who brews the same blend of tea every night. Serves it in the same cup, pours out of the same pot, and doesn’t take a single sip. He lets the scent evaporate into the air because it smells faintly of someone who would dab some on their pulse points. Just for him.
Kalim - who supplied your entire wardrobe. Who wouldn’t budge on it, and made sure you had clean clothes besides your uniform. You looked so pretty, so happy, and your gratitude made him feel so loved. He didn’t stop there either. You complimented his bedroom once and that was enough to send more blankets than you’d ever need. Especially after seeing how cold Ramshackle could get. They were for you. So why are these the only blankets he can sleep in? If he closes his eyes, pulls them close, breathes - you’re hugging him, right? From wherever you are.
Jamil - who’s struggling to clean his room. There isn’t much time to dawdle. His sheets need to be washed. His uniform ironed. Then he has to finish his duties, shower, and ready for bed. He opens the top drawer for a new set of sheets and is hit with you. That’s right. You did the laundry last week…he closes the drawer and goes to borrow a set from Kalim. The urge to pull them out strong, but Jamil’s always been resistant to his needs.
Vil - who’s suddenly caught wearing a brand far beneath his normal standards. He rarely shows preference to one over the other. Yet this cheap, poorly balanced - honest to goodness mockery of a perfume has become his favorite. No one knows why.
Epel - who let you use his cardigan one time. More like you stole it during your stay at Harveston. Grandma said she’d make you one for when you came back. You still hogged his. The fibers picked your scent and he’s afraid to wash it. What was supposed to bring homely comfort, now fills him with yearning and nostalgia.
Rook - who seats himself in front of the fire. Barely lit, dim, and more for the mood. To light this abandoned room in a new emotion. He takes one last inhale from the most intoxicating scent known to Twisted Wonderland, and then tosses it to the flames.
Idia - who fingers a little glass bottle between thumb and index. It’s almost gone. He could buy more. Make some. The tags were peeled off, but Ortho could dissect the contents with just a drop. He’s clinging. Idia knows this as he pops the cap and presses his nose to it.
Ortho - who’s learning how to make friends. With new emotions and freedom. He’s studied the senses and how they influence emotions. When asked if there’s anything he’d like from Ramshackle, he thinks of what his brother might like. Idia won’t ask for himself. Yet Ortho’s own thoughts surprise him, because why does he want this little bottle of perfume so badly? It’s nothing special. He can locate 10 online listings with competitive prices and quantities. Yet he specifically wants this one.
Malleus - who slips into Ramshackle at the height of midnight. A ruin once again with relics upon relics of a beautiful soul now gone. He loiters and avoids your bedroom. Yet when he enters the bathroom, he looks at his reflection in the vanity. His eye catches the smallest glass bottle…and he takes it. He dares to spray it once on his cuff. The yearning causes him to stow it away for the next century. Until he craves to feel their warmth and searches.
Lilia - who smiles fondly, pressing the lapels of your blazer down and into a box. Taking it in before that sense begins to dull too. Committing it to memory. In a decade or two he’ll cross its path again, and remember .
Sebek - who chases. Who shamefully gives in to instinct and attachment. Who sprays the last of some generic, cheap, alcohol based scent that was an assault to him with bittersweet yearning. He traps it on your portrait and seals it in a glass frame. If temptation’s going to linger in him, then let it drive him forward.
Silver - whose eyes open easily for the first time. His heart stuttering, mind shifting, attention sharp … the call of your name on his lips, as a random student shakes him awake during class. He asks what perfume they wear and commits it to memory.
Grim - who sleeps curled on one of Heartslabyul’s chaises. He can’t go back to Ramshackle. Home. It’s not home without you there. He sleeps with the same striped throw that was hanging on that old, green lounge chair. The one you’d wrap him in while he waited for the fire to stoke. Each night he begs for Ace to do whatever it is he does to make it ‘smell right’. When he sleeps, he can almost pretend the armrest is your side and he’s right where he’s meant to be.
Hiii hello I went down a rabbit role and now I made a guide of (almost) all the fonts used in the game, here's the link for the drive I put them all in:
it's always the funniest thing to me when people compare kim dokja with kim soleum cuz especially when looking at their introductions / beginning of the stories sol is genuinely just an infinitely more successful dokja. he's got a decent job, unlike dokja who's a contractor--hell, the guy got employed like 6 times in the ghost story world despite being a self-proclaimed coward, he's stupidly fit (ambidextrous, mentions he can throw proportionate to his body weight?) which isn't really a parallel but it's definitely enviable, and even his hobby he's embarrassed of is incredibly popular (among students mostly, but still better than twsa).
he's like that one successful family friend or cousin that your parents always compare you to lmao
