hi! im curious how the title of life and death companions will be translated 👀
We won't be changing it. It's TL'd correctly. It's based off of this line Kim Dokja's says (properly ReTL'd):

hi i remember you're reading the player hides his past now, and the manhwa made me hc jesse heinesse as neurodivergent with special interest in magic. thoughts? does novel support it? :3c
Oh the novel definitely supports that headcanon, even more than the manhwa iirc!!! I don't remember any exact quotes but her fixation with Lee Hoyeol is purely because of his magic and nothing else. Hero? Pride? Super strong? She just cares about his ability to use real magic without a skill, and her desire to be taught that ability.
Also the special interest is incredibly real, even her teacher (the hat she wears) admits that no one can get through to Jesse Heiness when she fixates on something, i.e. Lee Hoyeol and his magic, as if she's gone blind and deaf to anything else.
She's kind of socially unaware, or simply doesn't care, which we know from the scenes in the novel where she's with Shining. One of the members even says that they don't want to get in her way when she becomes focused on magic, specifcally focused on Lee Hoyeol and his magic, not even wanting to tell her to calm down. So knowing her isn't any protection against getting in her way, which isn't normal behavior for someone that has been with Shining for years. She's somewhat withdrawn from Shining as a whole, isn't talkative, and she leaves easily because she has no attachment to it. She was only in Shining because they took her into rifts and gave her funds, which she accepted because she wanted to use those resources to pursue magic further.
We know she has a massive pool of mana, and was even accepted into the mage tower despite being an adventurer. Her interest in magic had to have been strong enough to draw the attention of her teacher, the hat, who I think is an archmage? A super old one?
Again I don't remember any specifics but afaik? She's very neurodivergent ^^
hello gaby what is 1xr and why is it for orv moots 🤲
HELLO I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED!!! it's a sci-fi game called 1000xRESIST and i think it will rewire your brain if you let it 🫴
do you like doomed narratives? do you like stories written with so much love? circular storytelling and endings that recontextualize the beginning? time travel mechanics and loops? full cast of exceedingly well-written characters? women covered in blood who commit so many wrongs? nuanced themes about complex family bonds, love and sacrifice, grief and trauma, connection and communication, and the interwoven nature of past and present and future?
what about [redacted]? recurring motifs and metaphors and parallels wrapped in surreal storytelling and philosophical introspection? stories that break out of the confines of their medium? stories that will move you and break you and lovingly piece you back together?
i don't want to give too much away because this game has SO MUCH to say and i think there's so much joy in experiencing it first hand. but if any of this appeals to you i can't recommend it highly enough!!!
while i do think it has a lot of similarities to orv that novel readers would enjoy... at the same time calling it orvcore feels like a disservice because 1xR is a story that can more than stand on its own two feet. it doesn't just stand, it soars.
no other game has pierced into my heart as deeply as this one and i lost count of how many times it made me dissolve into tears.
it's an absolute masterclass in storytelling. it's poignant, thought-provoking, and gut-wrenching.
it's one of the best sci-fi stories i've had the pleasure of engaging with, period.
it's written from the heart and it shows. it will stick with me for a very long time. it's a story that remains and remains and remains.
also heads-up it's a small indie game and the gameplay is super light! it feels more like a visual novel or an interactive stage play, but trust me it still takes FULL advantage of its medium. even if you aren't big on gaming i highly encourage you to give it a try!
if you like narrative-focused stories, this is a story for you <3
are pigeons real
They're real in the same sense that elephants are
hello! do you or any followers know some hopepunk songs? especially about appreciation or fondness for richness of human experiences, cultures, history, relationships. preferably not religious, don't have to be in english though. any genre appreciated. thanks!! (*^-^*)
You are in luck, there's dozens if not close to a hundred songs recs under the #hopepunk recs tag on this blog. There should also be a couple spotify playlists under that tag too.
if you'd like to, here's one of my unwritten ideas:
after a fight, kdj passes out and his consciousness wanders in library. and physically, his electrification bookmark ran out of time, but miniaturization skill hasn't cancelled. and the party picks him up like "omg a creacher :0", like a kid would with a cool bug. and they pass him around like a blunt like a doll and have fun
A CREACHER... the kids absolutely fight over him. they consider keeping him like this in a terrarium or the (vague spoilers) Orb(tm) SP was in so maybe he would stop [redacted]-ing. maybe they just need the right lights or oxygen levels in the water or something.
[ID: in the first panel. yjh grips a miniaturized kim dokja who is passed out. it says DEAD (TIRED) behind him. he’s resisting the urge to shake him like a snowglobe. in the second panel lgy and sys are fighting over who gets to take care of him, with speech bubbles that say “hyung’s the size of a bug, so I’m the one most suited to taking care of --” and “gilyoung doesn’t know ANYTHING --”. the third panel is captioned with ‘they left him to lee hyunsung in the end.’ lhs is holding up a shield and has mini kdj tucked into one of his jacket pockets, resting on a handkerchief pillow. his thought bubble reads, “i won’t lose the bullet casing (sized guy) this time!!” with the emoji >:0 ]
