One of my favorite things about ORV is it FORCES you to to re-evaluate the concept of "there's no platonic explanation for this." Doesn't matter what you ship, someone is saving KDJ and rendering the universe asunder completely platonically.
You can be the most hardcore joongdok/yoohankim shipper in the world, and there's still Jung Heewon and her "He is the world I wish to save." Lee Hyunsung and his lost cartridge. Yoo Sangah, his oldest friend. Uriel. Sun Wukong. ABFD.
"I think everyone is a little bit in love with him." OH YEAH? WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS. HIS MOM.
No matter your interpretation of who kisses who, SOMEONE is destroying the worldline (or multiple!) over the tiniest chance to save KDJ.
And all romance is left to interpretation; even the canon side couple is left in limbo. Even the married constellation couple with a literal legendary romance end up separated at the end (I will never stop crying over Hades).
Yet this is a story about love. About how the lengths some people will go for their loved one, even when that person refuses to be loved.
I may be a hardcore shipper and I will ship until the world ends, but I also love how ORV just could not care less about romance. So many fandoms insist that "there's no way someone would go to those lengths for someone they weren't in love with!" and ORV says no, platonic love would go even further.
Truly the aro book of all time.
