I find it funny how thousands of people followed me because of the jealous series, probably expecting more content of their favs, only to see me 99.99% of the time be like:

I'm sorry in my defence I wrote it in my bio

ok i was just remembering back when a bunch of interactive fiction accounts were answering those orpheus/eurydice asks and i kind of want to write something related about blades characters SO for my fellow blades enjoyers: who do you think would turn & who wouldn't?

i'm going with all the og love interests for this (mal, nia, tyril, imtura, aerin). i'm pretty confident about certain ones, but less sure about mal & aerin, so lemme know what you think!

this might not impact what i write at all, and i might not end up writing anything, BUT i'm curious to know & this might help me confirm my thoughts as well :)

ALSO feel free to reblog with your reasoning/why if u want!!!

#i have my reasons for tyril & imtura but i don't think either of them would turn #and i think nia actually would/might #ok anyways plssss gimme ur thoughts on this i've just recently been getting into hadestown and this has been consuming my mind #blades of light and shadow choices #blades of light and shadow #bolas choices #bolas #mal volari #nia ellarious #aerin valleros #tyril starfury #imtura tal kaelen #ALSO I DONT WANNA START ANYTHING PLS DONT COME AT ME THIS IS JUST FOR FUN #im not including valax bc i feel like we dont know enough about her and she doesnt have enough of a relationship with the mc yet to be sure #like i cant get a read on that woman (elf??) #actually i feel like imtura might turn but in more of a 'omg we made it!' or 'almost there!' way where she doesnt realise mc isn't also out

hey! so i want to read orv after seeing you post about it for a bit but im not sure where i should start- i was hoping you could tell me how you got into it ??? anyway hope you're having a good day:)

hi omg yes of course!! legit SO excited to help spread the orv agenda, prepare to have your brain chemistry permanently altered by it fr (not clickbait)

orv stands for omniscient reader's viewpoint and it's first and foremost a webnovel, but there's also a currently ongoing manhwa adaptation (also there's a live-action movie in pre-production so you're joining the orv train at the perfect time actually)

not to oversell it but the novel is, no joke, the best piece of fiction i've read in my entire life. because of its heavy metanarrative elements, orv really is meant to be read as a novel—it's literally a love letter to its readers.

HOWEVER, i actually highly recommend starting out with the manhwa first, which is how i got into it! i feel like the manhwa is more engaging at the beginning and helps you visualize the characters and setting better. once you get a good grasp on the cast and the overall gist of the plot, you can always switch to the novel!

i personally made the switch after ep 98 of the manhwa and i'd suggest doing the same bc it just hits a lot harder in the novel at that point (plus the manhwa takes away some of the internal narration that literally recontextualizes that whole arc but i digress)

as for where you can read it:

you can find the manhwa on webtoon here (there's also an app if you prefer reading on mobile)

and you can find the novel here

(btw i fully rec starting the novel from the beginning once you make the switch! it might seem a bit repetitive at first, but you actually pick up on a lot of foreshadowing during the second read + you get to see some scenes that were changed / removed in the manhwa!)

beyond that i'll just say that the story only keeps getting better, trust me. it's probably the only one i've read where it just builds and builds and never stops and the payoff during the epilogue is 10000% worth the ride <3

hope you're having a lovely day as well!! and i really hope you enjoy the absolute insanity that is orv hehe

#also!!! pls blacklist the 'orv spoilers' tag #i'd hate to accidentally spoil it for you!! #even if you're like 'i don't mind spoilers!' no pls i'm grabbing u by the shoulders pls blacklist it #also do NOT look up anything about it bc everywhere u look is just a landmine of spoilers #(it's 100% enjoyable even w spoilers ofc!! orv is a celebration of the narrative and doesn't just rely on shock value. but imo it's— #a lot more fun when u have no idea what's going on lmao and the foreshadowing just keeps u guessing) #also not to get into it here but. novel ch 108 is literally so special to me personally. i feel like we don't talk about it enough #i'm so glad i got to read it in the novel first and not the manhwa #not me full on rambling in the tags 💀 anyways #ask #anonymous #orv

People really think that canonically HC is built like a tank.

Where are they getting this though. He's described as slender and lanky. He's certainly broader than XL, and it says as much, but XL is a small guy. He's one of the shortest characters in the cast (though he is ofc extremely physically strong, so he's buff in his own way).

Like there is only ONE version of the series; adaptation, official art, etc. where HC is BIG, and it's the one where he didn't start off that way but expanded into nineties yaoi proportions as the series went on. He's good in the early manhua and early manhua official art.

Like isn't this the first official art of HC??

That's not huge or swole or tanky. that's just a... tall guy. But over and over in this fandom you're 'ignoring canon' if you deny that he's huge like *Ember's HC.

#look i am all for size differences and BIG GUYS are great but HC is not... really that #he's just tall #and XL is short #and i truly do not mind if people want to draw him that way but to say he's canonically that way and people who draw him otherwise are #'wrong'/people who don't like *ember's HC are in denial or whatever... pls #especially when they make it some kind of activist thing like 'oh you just can't accept that some gay couples do fit more traditionally- #-fem and masc aesthetics' #for example #i don't go to SVSSS yet but I like the art where binghe is rly big with huge fluffy hair even though it's apparently not accurate #it just appeals to me aesthetically #but i promise when i read the books i will not act like my opinion of this is canon and everyone who pretends otherwise is lying lol #i even often enjoy a more noodly take on HC than canon bc TALL SUPER NOODLE HC and short buff XL is cute to me #but I'm not like 'wow you're denying canon if you don't draw it that way' #tgcf #size difference wank is stupid but here i am

Ok. Once again. Pretty much every time I see a cool ttrpg concept I'm like, damn I wish someone developed this into a novel so I could meaningfully engage with it.!

So I'm under the assumption that Orange, Navel & Tangerine don't have verified ages? (We all know what assuming does but I digress) [Update: I was nicely infomed that they don't seem to which genuinely makes me feel leagues better about this post. So thanks! to jeekoneeko. Especially bcuz they share one of my thoughts on Tangerine and that also made me feel better about my other thoughts. ^^]

In this post, I shall discuss my thoughts on their ages all stemming from the initial thought I've had for a minute that Orange & Navel are probably really close in age. 

In Year 1 Citron is 22, & in Year 2 it was said that when Tangerine turns 20 he'll become King, so we know he's younger than 20 in year 2. In the Eggciting Travelogue, it's stated that Sakuya is kind of close in age with Tangerine.

But in HQ there was that younger brother bit with him and Masumi (Honestly I think I'm misinterpreting this part but I have no alt translations or anyone to talk to about it so...)

So I'm gonna believe he's closer in age to Masumi than Sakuya. (Which isn't far but still.) So Masumi is 16 in year 1 so let's say Tangerine is too. That would make Tangerine and Citron about 6 years apart.

While that means there's about 6 years to place Orange and Navel, I believe they're closer in age to each other than any of them are. Idk how old they were intended to be but my gut initially said Orange is probably 2 or 3 years younger than Citron and I feel Navel is at most 1 year younger than Orange. And like I have no concrete proof of this it's just the vibe I get. But these vibes are probably partially because of them being close and somewhat because they tend to be grouped together. Like it's been stated that people would prefer Orange or Navel, but why is Navel even being somewhat considered when Orange is next after Citron? Maybe because he's so close in age with Orange anyway?(Tho lowkey he feels tagged on but that's a whole other incomplete thought I have) And then I realized that that means I feel Navel is 3 or 2 years older than Tangerine so I decided I like this split and I think it checks because it evens out.

But I'm gonna bump Tangerine down a year somewhat because it makes the numbers even more even when specifying ages but aslo I originally would've pegged his age closer to Muku, and while I suppose 16(year 1) isn't too far off, he does sorta feel younger than Masumi(to me at least) & 15 is close to both Muku & Masumi & not too far from Sakuya who was 17 in year 1.

So I think I'm gonna mainly go with the idea that in year 2 the ages were Citron 23, Orange 20, Navel 19, and Tangerine 16. And there's a reason I chose 20 for Orange, and though it's lost some of its grounding, it's what I'm sticking with for now. (I'll explain that in a different post)

#A3! #Act Addict Actors #Citron & his brothers #Orange a3! #Navel a3! #Tangerine a3! #I haven't read everything #But I have read a lot of the Zafra/Citron stuff #Not all of it I don't think but a lot #I think a lot anyway... #idk for sure #either way if I'm wrong about something I apologize #spacing is weird because I spaced it with my blog layout in mind :p #Anywho #important sidenote #I will gnaw on anything I can get of these four tbh #I have more thoughts and I'm developing headcanons #and I was ridiculously excited about their minor appearance in the Zafra group event #like it was bread crumbs and I was sitting there like 'thank you for the feast' #so if there's more stuff for them out there pls & thx #also if you make a case for Orange & Navel being born the same year as Citron I'll take it but I've developed a partial counter case #so uh yea #is it a good counter case? no not all but it's got a brick #[Ps please don't think I'm dumb. I was very nervous to share this thought] #<--- Should probably remove that tag now that I feel better about this thought but 🤷🏾‍♀️

took a page out of moon's book and started playing around with the idea of illustrated icons but i am Unsure

#actually tbh i considered using the webtoon for icons way back at the beginning of this blog #the only thing that stopped me...... was the short hair #it's still the main thing making me hesitate tbh #but lbr nothing's ever gonna suit perfectly for an oc #even my irl icons aren't Perfect for byan and never will be bc their perfect look exists only in my head #but the vibes here are decent now that i finally went to the trouble of digging up a pdf of the full comic and started scrolling through it #(bc i'm a fake fan who has never actually read it oops) #also it's literally animated jk like it can't get more ideal than this right #AND LIKE. it's always felt a little off to me to throw my irl icons onto threads w my mutuals who only have animated icons/fcs #i don't mind it THAT much but similar media makes things a little less jarring to look at #IDK idk i'm finishing up a reply to one such thread so i might take the opportunity to test the idea out idk #could play around with the colour palette too and make it more pink or smth 🤔 #that could help add a little more of the right energy too maybe hmmm #anyway i'm rambling yes i'm thinking about it too much shush #if u read through all this ilu pls feel free to share ur opinion w me bc i'm Indecisive™️ #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ooc ⋮ don't @ me.

don't you think if they really committed the murders they would've reoffended by now? i'm not disagreeing because i don't know much about this case, but it's hard to believe that someone capable of a gruesome crime can go on living without getting in trouble with the law again

i get what you're saying, i've thought about it before and my answer is no. let me just preface this by saying i don't think baldwin or misskelley jr would've ever gotten into anything of this magnitude on their own, the general consensus is that echols was the ring leader (which i agree with), so i mostly want to focus on him here (btw misskelley did actually get arrested for traffic violations a few years ago, but that's a petty crime, i wouldn't think anything of it)

the reason i say no is because a lot is at stake for him now. he comes from a tiny town in the middle of nowhere bible belt america. according to this 1990 census, out of the 28k population a little over 5k were high school graduates, and only 1.2k had bachelor's degrees (10.8% of the population had higher education), the median household income was around $22k with over 6.4k of the population living below poverty line (and 98% having a determined poverty status). what i'm getting at here is the future didn't look very bright for him or any of them for that matter. none of them were rich or even financially comfortable by any stretch of imagination and had the murders not happened, they would've most likely not gone to college, never gotten out of that town and continued living the same way everyone around them was living. however, the documentaries garnered a lot of media attention, love and support, especially for echols (and a lot of money which is a whole nother issue), from the regular people (as well as celebrities) who still vehemently believe in his innocence. so while he didn't have much to lose in '93, he has absolutely everything to lose now. imo most innocenters and guilters alike know that they can't with 100% certainty say who committed the murders and at this point we'll probably never know, but if anything ever comes out about him or the other two post-release that will make the innocenters doubt his innocence, they will turn on him in an instant and he knows it

#basically what i'm trying to say here is if he did do it then he's well aware that he's been fooling everyone for 30 years #and the fear of losing the support of the almost cult like following that the 3 of them have accumulated over the years is stronger #than any homicidal urges any of them might or might not have #but that's just my opinion #also if you or anyone else wants to learn more abt this case i would advise to read devil's knot by mara leveritt #you can get the ebook/pdf on zlib and the audiobook is available on audiobookbay i can even drop them in a google drive for you #just please don't watch the pl docus #i'm not saying this because they're biased and one sided that's the second biggest issue with those movies #but because of the material the ''filmmakers'' decided to (illegally mind you) include #true crime tw
