Doom Yourself Before The Narrative Does

I suppose one of the reasons why I am so utterly obsessed with Kim Dokja is because he is the type of man you only see in a lifetime. He's like a rare gem of a star, glinting for one moment and turning to dust in the other. He's a person who lives in-between sentences, who haunts the narrative and never actually appears in the story, only the ghost of him held together by his companion's memories. He is barely found at the beginning, and at the end he ceases to exist as "himself", only appearing briefly for one regression turn. It's horrible to learn to know him as the character "Kim Dokja", only for it to fade into some sort of legend, someone unreachable, a story told and retold ad infinitum, until it becomes a memory that scratches at your brain, that drives you mad with grief. Kim Dokja, your salvation is cruel indeed. The price to pay is simply too high.

desperately want an orv tattoo but I dont have the time to get the design at the beginning of each chapter and I dont have to skill to design/draw something up 😞

Look I am like Georgie in episode 99, screaming at Jon to talk to people, to not cut himself off, to share his troubles, to stay

But honestly? I suddenly began thinking from Jon's point of view. His assistant and friend died on his watch, he found out there is a ritual that is supposed to end the world, he is trying to figure out how to prevent it.

At the same time he's been framed for murder, hunted by multiple parties, burned, dropped at terminal velocity, taken into the woods to be executed, find out he's trapped in his job and trapped others along with him, find out he's slowly turning inhuman and possibly dangerous and constantly around a person who he knows is out to hunt him and will kill him when she gets the chance.

Meanwhile he sees everyone else he cares about are fine while away from him. Disgruntled, depressed, angry. But fine. And he puts two and two together and decides it's because he's away from them and doing it all on his own. And then he also hears that his ex also had a supernatural encounter in her past and feels it's related to all of it. Then the danger reaches her doorstep and proceeds to blow out her lights.

Not saying he made the right choices but I can definitely understand this point of view. Only he's hurt. Everyone else is fine, not great but fine. And that's a price he's willing to pay.

Robin and Steve playing a dnd character together because Steve said the only way he'd play is literally with Robin. They take turns each session for who speaks but always planning together. It's a teenage human, gangly and uncoordinated and a bit of a loner. Everyone sort of lets the "two people playing one character" issue slide, as they want to play a game with their friends.

Robin and Steve have wildly different character voices, and sometimes announce which way they are walking before stumbling in that direction, and also mutter to themself in character. when it's Steve's sessions to talk he flits with the NPCs Eddie plays, but Robin is just a little aggressive to them. The personality changes are kinda weird but everyone is just happy they're playing.

Everything is going well until the big bad of the short campaign they're all playing knocks them into a wall. Not hard, but hard enough they're scrambling and flailing and...splitting in half. By their own description. Immediately they start, with their respective character voices (they are committing to this bit) bickering about whose fault it is. And about what they should do now their cover is blown.

The table is silent.

Robin and Steve have been conning everyone the entire time. They're playing twin halflings, who alternated who sat on each other's shoulders pretending to be a human because they were goofing off the day they joined the party and were too embarrassed by the mix up to correct anyone about it until they had to. Their voices and personality changes are brilliantly embedded as not Robin and Steve not being able to keep consistent, it's because they've been playing different characters. It's brilliant. It's horrible. Everyone fell for it and the reveal essentially pauses play because everyone starts yelling at them.

Ella Enchanted was ahead of its time while also being perfectly within its time i adore it and im so happy to be rewatching it
