I Love Persona 3

who else up hurkleing their durkleing

Honestly, Doksoo is my OTP in ORV. Like yes I am and always will be a multishipper that believes in polyamory and murders monogamy in its sleep. But I love Doksoo the best because I am both a writer and a reader. I get absolutely mad when other people assume the ship is liked for being "straight". Hell, no.

I love Doksoo because that's the writer/reader relationship of my dreams. I also wish I have a reader who comments on my every chapter for every detail that I write about, someone who supports and loves my stories. I also wish I can talk to authors in a way that makes them motivated to write even more, in a way that they listen to my headcanons and spoil me by writing about my OC. I also wish to become a writer that motivates another person to speak up for themself because I'm also a reader who wants to feel cared for when I'm reading a story even if I isolate myself away from the narrative because I don't do self-insert lmao sorry. 😅

I understand maybe more people like the protagonist more than the reader and the writer because, for one reason amongst others, they probably grew up shipping themselves with a character or just imagining themselves as part of the story. But I, as reader and a writer, just want to share stories with a special person in a way that we study the characters and create worlds out of our imagination. Dokja/Sooyoung are like this to me and if I want them married and in love like Singsong, the married couple who wrote ORV together, it's nothing about sexuality or gender. It's all about sharing stories/souls.

i love jang hayoung because of the frankly twilight zone ass question she poses to kim dokja with her mere existence which is "what if as a teenage boy you made a self insert oc into your favorite story and then years later you were transported to the world of the story and you met your self insert and she had gotten herself on estrogen"

i think post-epilogue when kim dokja now has to for the first time in years exist without the fourth wall and for the first time in well over a decade has to move through life without the metaphorical fourth wall of twsa he has a lot of trouble regulating his emotions. han sooyoung makes a stupid joke and he starts laughing until he can't breathe. the kids buy him worlds best dad mugs and he bursts into tears and can't stop. he reads a book with a stupid ending and has to go for a walk around the neighbourhood so he doesn't punch a wall. stuff like that as kim dokja relearns how to experience the world firsthand

Apocalypse buddies

one of the most powerful messages orv has tbh is "your self-loathing behavior badly hurts other people who want to care for you." a lot of depictions of depression, suicidality, issues with self-esteem, etc. focus near-exclusively on the person who suffers from them, which is understandable, but I love that orv is commited to showing how SELFISH kdj's behavior can be. he tends to trample over other people's desperate wishes to connect to him and love him because he doesn't think he's worthy of it, and it ends up being some of the worst pain those people have ever experienced when he won't let them reach him! he's of course a sympathetic character but he still has this horrible habit of disregarding other people's emotions in ways that are unintentionally awfully cruel!

like idk i don't think anything's ever put a silver bullet through a martyr complex quite like the message of "you hurt people SO MUCH WORSE by harming & isolating yourself than any pain you could potentially cause them by sharing your burdens with them." it's realistic and kind while still being the brick upside the head some people need to snap em out of it lmao
