#dokja as the oldest dream the mc of orv and the mover of the narrative...

[always-a-joyful-note]

Listen, in honour of Kim Dokja's birthday I have to try and make a meta about it because why not?

And really just...aren't birthdays for fictional characters so interesting? Don't they act like a regression themselves? Where the character is in a state of continuation without really truly aging? Just like regression can represent reaching the end of a story and then going back to the beginning to read it again, regressions can shed light towards a fictional character's status in reality. They move on, have different stories told all the time, are ancient and always aging, are ageless and remain the same.

What was that welcome to night vale episode about lee marvin always celebrating his 30th birthday? Fictional characters are the same, aren't they? Except we really can't give them an age because which one would we be giving them? Their actual agein-story, the age reflected off reality?

Anyway what I'm saying is happy birthday Kim Dokja, I hope 300 years from now people are still celebrating your birthday. You have been trapped by a narrative and yet it's kindness offered you escape -

#i forcibly cut myself off because i wasnt starting to make sense #but fictional aging as a metaphor for a very tiring immortality #getting older and remaining the same and changing as the years change but the bigger story never changing #ACHDJFJRHBEB the representations and symbolism of the narrative as a cycle #or maybe thats the lemony snicket in me talking #dokja as the oldest dream the mc of orv and the mover of the narrative... #ANYWAY HAPPY READER BIRTHDAY lets GOOOO #fandom spamdom #omniscient reader's viewpoint #orv #orv spoilers #note's nonsense
