write on the wall
i have a really strong headcanon that kim dokja did fully have friends or at least people who were trying to be his friend pre-scenarios but his self hatred fully led to a goob from meet the robinsons situation where he ignored everyones attempts to get close to him. like i do think he generally had it really rough and didn't have many people who tried to reach out to him but going off of his interactions with yoo sangah we can assume that there were at least a few who he was dodging like bullets. kim dokja fully risked his job to move security cameras so they wouldnt catch yoo sangah pranking their bosses and she knows this and likes him because of it but he's still ah yoo sangah that perfect stranger why would she ever talk to me any time she tries to make conversation. you cant tell me there werent other similar situations throughout his life. it's just all those times there wasn't an apocalypse to keep them together and kim dokja succeeded in pushing them away
imagine kim dokja trying to get into a car and accidentally knocking his head against the top of it. now imagine him getting caught in the rain without an umbrella. now imagine him spending too long finding the right webnovel to read while he eats and his food going cold.
anyway. the image in the fandom of han sooyoung as a terminally online person obsessed with stalking her haters that comes from her online arguments with kim dokja kinda confuses me because like. none of the hate comments on sssss grade infinite regressor ever mattered to han sooyoung except for kim dokja's. just like none of the compliments ever mattered to her. it was a soulless work she churned out due to convenient inspiration and monetary need. she wouldn't care about kim dokja's comments, either, except that they are contrasted so strongly by his love for another work. a work dripping with earnestness and love, and which gets both return in abundance. sure, she has her pride - its her hard work after all, and she's annoyed when her blind date talks it down, and she's irritated when people mock it. but by and large han sooyoung does not give a fuck about her haters, she's literally just obsessed with kim dokja. its envy that makes her act like that!
I can't believe I decided to read orv on a whim because I just wanted a good manhwa with no romance subplot and here I am knees deep into the novel questioning my whole life because whatever these mfs have got going on is much more nastier and visceral than any romance
i think ysa missed dokja the most in the epilogues after yoohan. their main bond that formed during and because of their ordinary lives before the scenarios, all of that erased and filtered out from him…… the guy sitting in the closet while you poured black pepper in the company's coffee machine is gone. you are alone with your memories and no one else remembers the things you did at work when you were at your worst. you turn around to glance at the past once again only to find that theres no one there anymore.
KDJ's constellations were internet friends who said 'we should start a band when we meet up irl' and then they did and it worked. unfortunately SP left the friend group early to settle down and have a child 😔 but it's probably for the best he can't sing anyway
This sounds like fanfiction but it all actually happened
I am not an emotionless monster It's so hard for me to push a knife in your heart but I know, I am the only one who can do it
spoiler rambles under the readmore
This line from the play stuck with me a lot, and I know its not particularly in the novel but I still enjoyed it because it makes you think about her being the one who wrote in dokja's death, in a way also dealing the final blow along with yjh in this moment, death by story, includes her as the killer too
if i have one purpose on this earth it is to push the doksoo agenda look guys i was there. i was reading the joonghyuk fics i was nodding along when they called han sooyoung the lesbian best friend but ive grown ive matured and so can you. take my hand. think about the kaizenix arc with me. remember 1863rd han sooyoungs devotion. and we can walk into a beautiful sunset together <3
