Follow up to this post brought to you by @forgetme-eternally-blissfully, in fanfic snippet format because I gave up on drawing the comic (the fanfic was supposed to be a comic draft but I added too many details)

Kim Dokja lays on the ground among the rubble of a ruined building. He twitches a little before his eyes open. The world is blurry. In the distance, he can see a dark blur fluttering around his surroundings. As his vision comes into focus, he can recognize Yoo Joonghyuk searching through the debris.

A sharp pain coming from his side causes Kim Dokja to let out a groan as he struggles to push himself up to a sitting position. The sound catches Yoo Joonghyuk's attention and immediately he starts making a beeline in Kim Dokja's direction.

As Yoo Joonghyuk approaches, Kim Dokja takes note of Yoo Joonghyuk's tattered coat, his bloodstained body, the wounds on his face, hands, legs. None too serious though some deep enough to inevitably leave scars later.

Yoo Joonghyuk is getting closer, kneeling down, reaching his hand out towards Kim Dokja's face, making a move to pull Kim Dokja in when Kim Dokja decides to open his mouth.

"You're not losing your balance and having trouble standing are you? I'm not going to carry you on my back this time."

"Shut up," is all Yoo Joonghyuk says as he wraps his arms around Kim Dokja's shoulders. His grip is tight, one hand on the back of Kim Dokja's head, the other circled around his upper back.

There is a gash in Kim Dokja's side that throbs with pain. Blood loss has his head spinning and his vision blurring again. From where his face is pressed into Yoo Joonghyuk's shoulder, Kim Dokja can smell blood, sweat, smoke. Buildings continue to crumple in the background and the sound of something falling pitters in his ears. His hands tense and untense, relax and remain by his sides.

Kim Dokja lets out a breath and leans into Yoo Joonghyuk, just slightly. Just enough so that Yoo Joonghyuk can tighten his hold by a hair.

----------

Author's notes (what would normally be my image caption):

I said in the referenced post that Kim Dokja has no trouble reciprocating affection once someone else initiates, but I think Yoo Joonghyuk is the exception. Always exceptional, that one. At least during the Scenarios.

Kim Dokja can read his movements, see what Yoo Joonghyuk is aiming to do, can read his mind, dammit. But he can't comprehend his actions. Yoo Joonghyuk acting in a way that Kim Dokja doesn't know about is something that happens more and more often as time goes on, and serves as a reminder of the wall that exists between a protagonist and a reader, but also the wall that exists between two normal people. Because at this moment, Kim Dokja is still struggling to see Yoo Joonghyuk as his own person instead of a protagonist or a 1863x-regressor-to-be. He's blinded by what he knows and has seen in his own past, which he assumes will be Yoo Joonghyuk's future. When he looks at him, does he see those ghosts of the future flickering superimposed over the shape of the man before him? This is the sort of wall that exists between them.

So when Yoo Joonghyuk acts outside of Kim Dokja's expectations, Kim Dokja tries to push them back on course with banter. "Yoo Joonghyuk is getting closer, kneeling down, reaching his hand out towards Kim Dokja's face, making a move to pull Kim Dokja in-" Kim Dokja sees all of this, takes note of all of this, knows what's to come of it. Doesn't understand it one bit. He's not oblivious. It's more like, "Why? Why me? Why would someone feel this way about and want to do these things with me?" He KNOWS the effect he has on people. He intentionally calculates how much he interacts with Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung to ensure their loyalty towards him in the early scenarios (not so much so after like Scenario 5-ish so we're talking early-early scenarios. After that point he more supports them in the direction they want to go (when that direction is the direction he already wanted them to go anyways. something something picking teammates because he knew they were already loyal and righteous by nature, nurturing them so that they would be able to carry out their justice no matter the adversary. He chose them because he knew they were loyal and strong, but they weren't loyal or strong at the time. But they would be in the future. But they wouldn't have been without him. But in another time where he didn't exist they were strong anyways see this is how he is able to have ultimate faith in his party members and know the kind of support he has given them while still being unable to recognize his own value in the grand scheme of things. Because they would have been fine without him, he's SEEN it. This is another wall between him and other people, another future ghost)). So he knows how much influence he has in other peoples' lives. But he values himself so little that he is blind to the emotional, sentimental weight he has to these people. No matter how much he knows he's done for them, he won't see himself as worthy of genuine praise or recognition, affection, love.

So this lack of self recognition extends to his perception of all of his companions, but especially so to Yoo Joonghyuk. Yoo Joonghyuk is probably the person whom Kim Dokja is the most strict about characterization with. Kim Dokja knows him the best, it's true, but he also doesn't know a damn thing about him as a person instead of a character and that makes him feel a certain way. Vulnerable, I think. Lonely. That childish feeling of betrayal when the characters walk off the page without him. There are sides to people and characters that you will never know simply because they weren't observed. And there are sides of people that you have no right to know. It is by becoming a person instead of a reader that you must abide by those rules and give up omniscience. Part of being a person and recognizing another's personhood is to willingly not know everything about them.

Anyways. He's not there yet. Not by Hug Attempt #2. This was supposed to have 3 parts with the last one set after the epilogue but we'll see if I ever get to it.

#I AM A FOOL. #I thought posting the snippet would be easier for me but instead I ended up going on a long ramble in the author's notes. #so uh yeah enjoy your 300 words of fic and 700 words of meta #orv #omniscient reader's viewpoint #orv spoilers #writing tag #reading tag #btw. did u kno. did you know this whole 'kdj misses the hug cue' idea all began because. becaus e i missd a hug cue. again. #thats right #on several occasions people have t-posed at me and i just gave them the polite smile #they gotta be like 'im giving you a hug!' for me to get it #then i was like huh sounds like something kdj would do and i like bullying yjh

LOOOOL HELP??? PEACH UR FLATTERING ME??? FLATTERING ME!!! WAAAAHAHAHA ////.

funny story i was actually going to (or at least willing to) change it to match a friend's satoshi/krad but we couldn't think of anything that we liked together (also they're busy af/movin on from tumblr as a platform/hobby so it's mostly me clowning around actively.) dnangelic dot tumblr dot com preserved by the sheer fact that words like 'dark' or 'cursed' are impossible to grab ahold of... opposite of free real estate. were i a true phantom thief i would have simply stolen one of the urls away. alas.... my impulse url stays!!!

ace/riddle/floyd - nonary game

"We shouldn't trust him," says Ace, whose voice is a little rueful and whose watch reads 6; "Like, c'mon, when did he do a single thing that made any sense while we were in that room with him?"

Never, if Riddle's being honest--which is exactly why he can't shake the trepidation lingering in the hollows of his chest. Floyd is erratic, the type to get bored and wander off in the middle of a death game, and that means at this very moment on a whim he might be pressing Ally with just a single point left on his bracelet--or he might very well be pressing Betray.

#HAHAHAHA I LOVE NONARY GAMES I LOVE THE AMBIDEX GAME GODDDDDDDD #thanks almond. obliterated from existence. this isnt a love triangle as much as it is like #a blatant manipulation triangle. LKAHLSKDHGS #ace on the verge of getting out versus floyd on the verge of death nad riddle right there btwn them. lol #i think twst in general would be fun for a nonary game au bc i dont think theres any way its ending well. u kno #theyre all assholes enough to screw each other over but also the way the rship dynamics would play into it. would be fn #(thinks abt jamil in a nonary game for even two seconds and starts to scrEA #i do think the base nonary game would be fun for them bc thats more ostensibly teamwork oriented #but. lmao. this prompt screamed ab game. so #idk if i should ship tag this on the one hand the acerid tag is a barren wasteland #on the other hand theres not actual romance GLKHALKSHDG #i do think them escaping together here would b fun. in a terrible way #tho i think rid would be only like......... 5 points or maybe just the one lmao #asks #anon #how do you writing #twisted wonderland #sorry this will be fully incomprehensible to anyone whose never played vlr

i don't agree with the 14 y/o's who are like "no sex scenes in Anything its weird" but somethin about the people who talk about them as puritans gives me a suspicion that they're not clocking that discomfort with sex as related to the way women & gender minorities are hurt via sex... it gives an air of strong potential Misogyny... especially when criticizing ppl who like only kids shows

#u kno what kids shows have that most posts for an older audience Dont? #lack of misogyny #& yknow what most sex scenes have under a patriarchal society thru the lens of the male gaze? #misogyny again #thats not to say fashy sentiments arent getting to some women but it's worth recognizing why fashy arguments like No sex in public Ever #appeal to rw women in the first place. the notion of public versus private property as it relates to women in leftist then right wing space #i made it sound like children shows have no misogyny in them whoops lmao i meant like they'll have misogyny but it's soft gender role stuff #which most girls can stomach as opposed to visceral objectification. violence & sexualization

Me, explaining things in a way that's completely incoherent: I don't understand what you find so difficult to comprehend???

#i think the problem is that something in my brain structures information in a way thats hard for other people to understand #it may be a dyslexia thing. but it is the most frustrating thing to be misunderstood without any #idea of howbwhat ur saying doesnt make sense. like. look. fucking. its right there. laid out in a way that looks like an absolute disaster #bc u would think with as many control issues id b extremely organized but no. i kno where everything is #but its in a pile. aye. this project is such a clusterfuck #this is how my brain collapses. what sort of shape will i b in by the time we finish? (ie my birthday lol) #let's not think abt it. it wont b good. #everyday i get texts and emails and i have to put my head down and take a deep breath so by brain doesnt explode. the amount of psychic #pain i am burdened with when i open my manuscript doc is shocking. #is this my villian origin story? ive lost the ability to not look like im in pain while im in meetings. if u pay close attention u can see #the misery behind my eyes. my boss is gonna turn up the 23rd and b like: ready to go get icecream to celebrate #ur paper and phd accptance? and im gonna b like: i would rather eat glass #if u try to rope me into a surprise party i might walk out. excpet i wont bc im not that much of a brat #theres nothing to celebrate. just let me lay down on the floor for a while #unrelated
