My dad just gave me his old pocket watch and can I say that it's giving me orv vibe?!!?
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
kim dokja gets trolled
Not a day goes by without thinking of kim dokja. What a guy
You might see fundraising posts with thousands of notes on your dash daily and think to yourself "this person must be doing fine!"
I wish that were true. I saw a post earlier referring to people with fundraisers as "those fortunate enough to have internet clout" but unfortunately internet clout is not a currency that can buy food and other necessities. It's only a testament to how much effort that person spends desperately networking in order to make ends meet, and often not succeeding at that. These people do not have an advantage.
I spotlight for @dr-anas96 and his posts consistently get a lot of notes. He's vetted here.
Here's an interview in English and Spanish he did for AJ+. and also here's a recent article about him in Spanish.
And where does that get him?
Anas is slowly dying of starvation and of his illnesses that he cannot currently get treated for. Don't be fooled by the amount of notes this will get. If you can spare a dollar please don't hesitate to donate here.

I've heard someone say kim dokja's ■■ parallels his name first introduced in the novel. I cant remember who anymore, or what exactly they wrote, but I do have some ideas of my own:
"Kim Dokja": an only child "Kim Dokja": a reader. His ■■ consists of two: Eternity and Epilogue.
Eternity, where he gets to be a lonely child in a subway. He is forever on this subway, forever strong; independent; self sufficient. He is the 'only child'.
And on this subway, he gets to spectate and see what every reader longs to see at the end of a beloved story: the characters live happily after years of tragedy, settling down as they maintain their found family dynamics for the rest of their lives. He is the 'reader'.
Epilogue, where this time, instead of watching the characters leave him to his own cold world, he goes on towards this new ending with them. He is no longer the 'reader', but instead a 'character' in the story with all the people he has ever loved. He has a new family now, one with his two lovely mothers, a dependable older brother to lean on (swk), not to mention the entirety of kim com & the other occasional constellations there to fill up their big house with chatter and laughter and warmth. He is definitely no longer an 'only child'.
To become 49% percent is to become someone who is neither a reader, nor an only child. To become 49% is to no longer be "Kim Dokja".
