even tho 1864th uriel smiled more than 999th uriel shes way more hurt inside because loving dokja is way harder than loving joonghyuk

On this day I would like to remind the orv/ joongdok community of the time Uriel hesitated in her quest to get Kim Dokja to accept Jesus powers because it would mess with her ship and confirmed that she thinks he would top Yoo Joonghyuk at the same time

Truly the queen of the fujos

One thing I love about orv is that it initially bait and switches you by convincing you early on that the constellations are the "big bad" of the story - voyeuristic beings that gain enjoyment off the suffering of others - until the reveal that they are also going through their own scenarios. This mirrors how us as the readers are going through our own lives and our own struggles yet we consume media highlighting the experiences of others. We root for these characters, we follow their journeys, we see ourselves in them. And yet we're not villains - we're just surviving. We're escaping the struggles of our own lives by indulging in these worlds created by human imagination. Similarly, many of the constellations in orv do not have malicious intentions despite living off stories - uriel cares greatly for the incarnations she supports (as the "fangirl" archetype) and sun wukong and abfd also greatly support kimcom throughout their journey.

This is further solidified in the reveal of the oldest dream. Despite unintentionally creating worldlines through his imagination, the younger kim dokja was never a villain or "monster". He was simply a child who sook to escape the tragedies of his life through a webnovel. He depended on that novel to survive. And that was in no way the sin he thought it was - not even secretive plotter who had gone through countless regressions and witnessed the despair of the universe could hold it against him. Nor han sooyoung, nor yoo joonghyuk of the 1864th round, nor yoo sangah, nor anyone else in kimcom. No one thought dokja needed to atone for anything - they loved him and cared for him even when he couldn't love himself.

Just like kim dokja and just like the constellations, we are readers seeking an escape from the struggles of reality. And we too are loved - regardless of whether we know it or understand why.

Sometimes family is you, your coworker, 3 kids you grabbed from the side of the road, a bartender, an ex soldier, a plagiarist, a guy that wants you dead, his sister, ex girlfriend, and two stupid teens that follow him around, your landlord, your ex boss and his daughter, a fujoshi angel, a monkey, a dragon, a coorporate slave, and your daughter.

"You who is reading this --"

Here is my entry for the orv fanart contest..! It was announced over on twitter so I can see that some people here are surprised such a contest existed,, I hope they host another one someday;;

I wanted to make an art piece that could be enjoyed by both early readers and readers who have finished the epilogue. Something that will make the reader happy just by looking at it. I hope singshong looks at all the entries and sees how much the readers love ORV

hehearse

this haunted me for years

Saw a piece by @xnighten which had this cool black out poetry style look! ^^ I thought it was so cool and wanted to do something like it with the ORV boys :D The result turned out pretty nice in my opinion~

Protect this man 😊 Vs RUN from this man

Hi! I'm not technically back from the dead. I don't think. But I was made aware by the lovely @furekami that I never posted my contributions to the ORV scenario zine! There's another one somewhere around here. I'll find it. In the mean time, please enjoy.

I was just listening to "Two" by Sleeping at Last and it brought back all of my very emotional feelings about ORV that I thought was dormant for two years. God I love this story so much.
