#anyways. i could be 100% wrong about all that!! i likely am ashjdfg but it's. it sure is something to think about!

i've seen a few comments before (not on here, just in the past on other sites) frustrated and confused about why the oldest dream never talked to yoo joonghyuk. or anyone for that matter. why couldn't he just say something, anything at all? did he feel nothing as they suffered? couldn't he have helped somehow?

and there's a lot i could say about this and a lot of various layers and details and perspectives. but in the end it all comes down to this:

not a single one of us can talk to the characters in a book we're reading.

that's just how it works.

#mine #orv #orv spoilers #(next part is just my rambling that could be ENTIRELY incorrect its 4AM okay ashdjfg) #in addition here's my hot take: i don't think yjh actually talked to od the one time he said he did #i think he is a little liar who thought the one reason kdj wouldn't kill him is if kdj thought it'd doom the timeline #and he thought kdj wouldn't feel assured unless some higher power than yjh confirmed it would be fine #so he LIED to get kdj to KILL HIM because he and kdj are BIRDS OF A FUCKED UP FEATHER #i'm not saying he lied about knowing the timeline would be fine without him. i just think he reached that conclusion through other means #like. its a perfectly reasonable conclusion to make if you consider that the cut film effect exists. #how are you gonna splice n dice different timelines if one of them doesnt exist anymore once yjh regresses? you CAN'T is the answer #so i think he could be sure the current round/timeline would be fine if he regressed into a new round/timeline even w/o talking to od #anyways. i could be 100% wrong about all that!! i likely am ashjdfg but it's. it sure is something to think about!
