I Think Of Orv As A Venn Diagram Except Instead Of Two Circles It Is Thousands And Millions Of Circles

Someone in the comment section of a site made the CUTEST uriel symbolic form crochet for the new orv chapter! I don't want to post it here because obviously, I didn't make it. Check it here and give it likes :<.

Thoughts about the chapter? the dokja simps are having a feast!

A friend requested that I post some ORV thoughts on Tone and Themes from discord. I have edited the messages for better organization and clarity below:

There are a lot of quotes that you could argue are the culmination or distillation of ORV. You could also argue that ORV itself is not reducible to a single quote because of the sheer enormity of it, and how that size is a component of the story itself. But if I were to convey the specific melancholy of ORV-- my most fundamental read on the Feeling of ORV-- I would choose one quote to do so.

I’d fall back on, “In a world turned upside down, where monsters were rampant, we still had to clear the snow.”

Throughout the immense battles of good vs evil or gods and demons, ORV remains a story about people doing the things they have to in order to continue living.

And there is a distinct melancholy to that: the grief stricken “is it just this forever,” everyone being a regressor, and the mundane tragedies of struggling on in a world that will build a narrative around you regardless of your input or desires. However, all of these things are part and parcel to ‘surviving’ in a ruined world

It's about taking those small steps forward, regardless of cataclysmic tragedy and world-rending stakes. You still have to clear the snow. You still have to take care of the people around you. You still have to cook dinner. You still have to live.

It's the melancholy of a 'nevertheless', and that's a hopeful kind of melancholy. Reaching out and trying again and again. Leaving a mark on the wall because someone might read it. Regressing so that one day you won’t have to. Iterating and changing and trying again and again. It’s about making attempts.

It's about finding ways to survive, even if you've forgotten a few.

hc that jang hayoung is trans because han sooyoung originally wrote her as a guy, but since od wanted jhy to be a girl in the first place, he imagined her has a girl in his day dreams as well. he basically headcannoned jang hayoung into being trans... (important distinction is that he did not headcannon her as trans, but jhy developed feelings of not being a boy herself due to kdj's influence on the universe 😭 i do not think kim dokja would have a clue of trans people or the lgbt community pre scenarios)

i’m a bit late with this

kim dokja gets trolled

i think we as a community need to appreciate 1863rd hsy's madness & desperation more

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.
