Yoo Joonghyuk - Blog Posts

thinking about this

they both tried so hard. kim dokja would never sacrifice himself again, but he did. yoo joonghyuk would never regress again, but he did. something something orpheus will always look back for eurydice...

You were supposed to save him, you were made to save him

[ID: Black and white Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint fanart of Han Sooyoung and Yoo Joonghyuk. Sooyoung is shouting at Joonghyuk, who is sinking against her with one hand at her shoulder as she holds him by the collar. Sooyoung looks pained and angry, and she's crying. Joonghyuk's face is lowered and obscured by his collar. End ID] (Thank you to @/princess-of-purple-prose for writing it!)

Are you any different?

Bonus:

oh my god??? i need everyone to please watch this orv animatic it fits the epilogue's themes & yhk dynamics so well. in case the link doesnt work, the animatic is named 3rd planet by evelina dodge on youtube.

made an animated ORV mv, please enjoy!

Yoo Joonghyuk being broken by everything having gone so well. It's never explicitly stated, but it's very heavily implied that someone always dies from Yoo Joonghyuk's team by the time the Seoul Dome is broken. Either that, or something terrible in general happens (Seoul being wrecked, etc).

In Kim Dokja's round, he had everyone. They were alive. Nobody was seriously hurt. Everything was going so well. This man who appeared in this round only was creating miracles, even if Yoo Joonghyuk doesn't like the self-sacrificing stuff (because he's realized he's come to care about Kim Dokja a lot. Enough so that he doesn't want to have to continue the scenarios without him, and the only reason he's willing to do so is because Kim Dokja told him that he had to. And Yoo Joonghyuk is good about following through on what his companions ask of him, even if he pretends he won't, and that's putting aside how deeply Kim Dokja's words impacted him) but Kim Dokja's actions had created the best story for them yet.

And then, seemingly at random, the Outer God descends and destroys everything and everyone.

It's like an unfair glitch in a game destroying all of your progress. Everything you had worked for, gone in an instant. But it's worse because he loved and cared for all of them. And the final straw was his worst fear coming true: Kim Dokja does not exist in this round. He doesn't exist in the next one either. He can't find him, and he can't do the things that Kim Dokja did. He never knew the man's plan. He lost his guiding star. Kim Dokja was the one person who had understood him, and that was someone he had been looking for for so long. Between the two things, he was broken, and desperate, and made many, many more mistakes than he would have.

It's a bad ending, plain and simple. And though the story doesn't say it, end game readers who understand the context also know that that Yoo Joonghyuk would be doomed to never reaching the end of the story and never getting the answers he wants. Because the man who had the key to reaching the epilogue was taken away by the cruel twist of the Star Stream.

they were supposed to match 

[ID: An Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint comic. Yoo Joonghyuk and Han Sooyoung are standing together, both looking angrily in the same direction. Joonghyuk has little pigtails and a trans coloured scrunchie. He’s wearing a t shirt over his coat that says “I (Heart) My Bisexual… Wife + Husband”. Some text is cut off by his crossed arms, and the heart is the bi flag colours. Sooyoung is shouting with angry disbelief, wearing a matching t shirt that says “I (Heart) My Bisexual War Criminal Husbands” and a trans-coloured sweatshirt around her waist.

Kim Dokja is shown laughing like he’s pleased with himself. Action lines radiate off him, showing off that he’s wearing his usual coat with a shirt that says “Ally” and has the ally flag. End ID.]

thinking about how you cannot gender yhk in a way that matters. kdj has millions of fragments of all kinds of genders, so you cant essentially call him a guy (?); i assume hsy is pretty much comfortable with changing gender, as she appears as a man in early orv at least twice. yjh is also fine with being the punisher and roaming around people he knows (except kdj, but thats another thing entirely,) like thats already a part of him he's accepted by now

Ok, this is maybe the last one of the added doksoo scenes in the ebook. So KDJ tried to write one which LHS finds okay but according to YJH it sucks. So KDJ asks YJH to write next time since he's a lot of experience...That's what I got to know from the korean readers. And the contents of the letter are like this....

Now their conversation at the end of this arc sounds like an answer to his letter >⁠.⁠<

Aaaaand also the last line of ORV...

I'll do the same as you. (I'll try and hold it up.)

yoohankim making me feel shrimp emotions rn

yjh’s ■■ being left out of the novel was a kind of salvation for him. its the first time something isnt written out for him to do: breaking free of the character imposed onto him by han sooyoung’s writing, by dokja’s interpretation and finally deciding what his life was all for by himself

i have been! reading orv!

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

hc that hsy writes a lot of comfort scenes about food and sleep and mundanity in twsa because she wants kdj to be healthy btw

cue that one scene where kdj mentions that everytime yjh craves and eats dumplings in twsa he gets some for himself from the convenience store as well

you know what else is so heartbreaking about orv tonight? 1863, its so painful that the arc that kim dokja almost leaves "his" han sooyoung and yoo joonghyuk for is the arc that they are at their worst. Han sooyoung is sacrificing the entire line for a chance at a better version and yoo joonghyuk has no one and is so deep in his depression that he actually is making steps to permanently kill himself.

Imagine being either of them from 1864 and learning that he almost left you for the parts of yourself that you've been trying to get rid of, Imagine learning that it is all of you that he is dedicated to and maybe the ways that you've split yourself makes you less than what he wants.

Imagine looking at less of him and realizing the same is true for you.

It would be so funny if someone wrote this from the fan's pov and we just see them going crazy with conspiracy theories about who this mystery guy could be

hmm orv au where gamer yjh fans vaguely spot kdj in the background and try to track him across social media.

they discover that he only exists on the internet across a bunch of random videos, almost ALL from famous celebrities and influencers. Everyone who knows someone can't figure out who this man is irl. But he has a nice voice and all his acquaintances seem to be some degree of obsessed with him.

Someone should write a fic of this (⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠)

i thought of od who murders so hyung can chase him

This would make for such an interesting fanfic

An Idea Orv x TCF

hsy: was it a good idea to give a 17 yo a gun?

kdj: no but if we had to worry about someone it should be the depressed one who already died 1864 times

cut to yjh putting a gun to his head

uriel tagging orv: idiots in love, oblivious, soulmates, misunderstanding, slowburn

Inner yoo joonghyuk on daily basis nowadays (he’s slowly going insane)

Bonus: kim dokja’s in the background like, "I wonder why yoo joonghyuk has anger issues"

"i would find you in any universe" but it's very clearly intended as a threat
