Now that I'm reading ORV again, I'm starting to think that maybe, the one Kim Dokja loves and hates the most isn't really Yoo Joonghyuk, but himself.
When you look again at the parallels between them, you'll see that Yoo Joonghyuk is Kim Dokja's "ideal" self. Yoo Joonghyuk even becomes his comfort character. Thing is, Kim Dokja draws a clear line between him and Yoo Joonghyuk, so even if he acknowledges that he wants to be like Yoo Joonghyuk he still believes he can't be Yoo Joonghyuk. That's why he shifts between wanting to be Yoo Joonghyuk when dealing with reality—I mean, his mantra is literally "I am Yoo Joonghyuk"—and wanting to stand beside Yoo Joonghyuk when reading TWSA.
Moreover, his relationship with Yoo Joonghyuk as the Most Ancient Dream plays a complicated parallel with his relationship with his mother. Just as his mother portrays herself as the "murderer" who killed his father, the Most Ancient Dream portrays himself as the one who "forced" Yoo Joonghyuk into an endless cycle of regression when in fact, it was Kim Dokja himself who murdered his father just as it was Yoo Joonghyuk himself who chose to enter the cycle of regression. And just like his mother who never truly answered Kim Dokja's earnest questions of why she did everything she did, the Most Ancient Dream never actually replied to any of Yoo Joonghyuk’s questions from the 1st through 1863rd regressions. Both the parent and the sponsor only "looked" at their child and their incarnation, respectively. Both Lee Sookyung and the now grown-up Kim Dokja locked themselves in a prison of their own making, just so the young Kim Dokja and the Company that they'd respectively loved could go on with their lives. Both Lee Sookyung and Kim Dokja made hard choices that they thought back on many times but never regretted. That's why Kim Dokja hates and loves his mother, because he sees the man he's become in her.
And don't get me started on the Star Stream! From the Four Fragments of the Final Wall to the Main Scenarios themselves, everything is set up to reflect Kim Dokja's own life! [Main Scenario #1 -Proof of Value], the scenario that began the tragedy, requires the taking of a life—mirroring the murder of Kim Dokja's father as the beginning of his personal tragedy. [Scenario - Survival] makes them pay for every day they live through and takes away the food they painstakingly gathered—no guesses as to what that hints of his home life. The last scenario was a very rude wake-up call, confirming his fears that the apocalypse was a tragic of his own making.
I need a drink. A very sweet drink. ORV is so sad to read sometimes, now that I'm reading it again and reading between the lines. Buh-bye for now.
Welp, rave on.

By the time I opened my eyes, I ended up freaking out by what I saw. [999] spoke to me as I stared dumbfoundedly at the mirror, my eyes blinking non-stop. – It's done. Holy moly. This might not be enough to slap Yoo Joonghyuk's cheek silly, but still… It should be enough to make me ponder whether I should slap him or not, at least. I rubbed my new statuesque face and muttered to myself. "…Can't I keep this face forever?" – If you do, you'll be struck by the storm of Probability's aftermath.
First off, kind of weird that he'd be struck by Probability just for wearing a new face??? Especially when he's worn one before? Unless finally this face actually does appear handsome to those around him when it should be blurry? In which case, why does him not appearing blurry mean so much to the Star Stream that it would literally be affected by Probability?
I mean, my theory is that it's because he's a reader from outside the story and thus the people inside the story can't know what he actually looks like since how can characters in a book ever see the person reading the book?
Secondly, YOU DON'T NEED TO KEEP IT DOKJA YOUR ORIGINAL FACE IS PERFECTLY FINE!
I swear if this novel doesn't end on everyone seeing his real face and telling him what a handsome guy he is I'm gonna riot. RIOT I SAY!
LOOK AT WHAT ALL OF YOU HAVE DONE TO THIS POOR MAN! YOU'VE GIVEN HIM ANXIETY ABOUT HIS LOOKS AND MADE HIM THINK HE'S SO UGLY HE HAS TO PERMANENTLY HIDE HIS REAL FACE!!!

Springfest Idols! I'm tired so here's all the files, i'll make some of the previews and fbx models tomorrow!
Includes Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, and Deep Cut.
These depend on textures from the regular models, and I've included everything that's needed.
Both pearl and marina have both normal and springfest (dumpling) textures for skin and hair, the materials the textures are used for are named accordingly.

Etymology for (almost) Every New Splatband Characters Name
———————————————
Front Roe:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
All of their aliases are in reference to the meanings of their original names. Their numbers probably just represent the order they’re usually introduced in when referred to out of universe (with Murasaki being bumped up to 3)
001Ngt/001Nite - Ichiya (One night sushi)
002Wsb/002Wsbi - Namida (A type of wasabi used by sushi chefs)
003Soy/003Soss - Murasaki (A type of soy sauce)
004Clm/004Clam - We don’t know his real name but he sure is a clam.
———————————————
Damp Socks:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
キズシ [Kizushi] - きずし [Kizushi] is a type of sushi in which a fish (usually a mackerel) is soaked in vinegar.
Vinny Mack - In reference to their Japanese name. Vinny(gar) Mack(erel).
明石さん [Akashi-san] - Akashi is a surname but is more likely in reference to 明石焼き [Akashiyaki], a dumpling is made of an egg batter and octopus dipped into dashi (a fish broth). “San” is an honorific that is equivalent to Mr/Mrs in English.
Garris - Garris alludes me. I’ve spent actual hours trying to figure out what the name is referring to and I can’t figure it out. Maybe I’m missing something obvious but until someone tells me what it is I will remain stumped.
アンドウヨウジ [Andō Yōji] - アンコウ[Ankō] is the Japanese name for anglerfish. ヨウジ [Yōji] is a common masculine Japanese given name.
Jhon Goose - Goosefish is another name for anglerfish. Jhon is a common masculine English given name.
———————————————
Yoko and the Gold Bazookas:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
兵頭タオ [Hyoudou Tao] - Hyoudou is a Japanese surname which in this case seems to be a shortened version of ひょうもんだこ [hyoumondako], the Japanese name for the blue ringed octopus. “Tao” could be a reference to タコ [Tako], the Japanese word for octopus, but it could very well be referencing something else.
Tao Blu - Blu is in reference to them being a blue ringed octopus. See above for their given name.
Toxy - Derived from the word “toxic”.
Tosh - Most likely taken from their Japanese name.
キタノ [Kitano] - “キタノクジャクイカ” [Kitanokujakuika] is the Japanese name for Taonius borealis, a species of glass squid which they seem to be based on.
Martin - This one I’m not sure about! The best I’ve got is the possibility their name is derived from the word “Martian” due to their alien-like appearance.
トグロ [Toguro] - The toguro squid is a species of deep sea squid.
Jessika - A play on the name Jessica, replacing the “c” with a “k” to make “ika” (the Japanese word for squid).
———————————————
H2Whoa:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SHIMA - シマダコ [Shima dako] is a species of (you guessed it) octopus, which shares a similar pattern of stripes to the character.
Lionel - The best I’ve got is that it COULD be a reference to how mimic octopuses (which have a similar stripe pattern to the characters tentacles) tend to mimic lionfish. That seems like a stretch to me too but it’s the only thing I could think of.
NAGARE - Their appearance is based on ナガレハナ [Nagarehana] coral.
Cora - As seen above, they are a species of coral.
———————————————
I’m so tired. Hope this was an interesting read. Hate you forever Garris.

Re: Shen Yuan as Shen Jiu’s grandma, was SJ
a) still ‘misplaced’ by his birth fam? And when SY found out he went on a rampage to get him back?
b) a former/current slave absentmindedly adopted by SY when he saw him being mistreated? Or
c) actually grew up with his birth fam and crawled into SY’s luggage when SY wandered off again to chase the latest monster?
Shen Yuan found a baby by the ravine while he was drunk. Shen Yuan won't admit that his original inspo for Shen Jiu's name was the character wine... (Wine = 酒 jiu). Anyways, drunk!Shen Yuan decided that it would be a GREAT idea to take a baby with him to sightsee some awesome monsters known as the Jade-Horned Squealing Squid, also known as That Horn-y Tentacle Porn Arc in PIDW.
If Shen Yuan's Alexa ordered calarmi on Uber Eats while he read that chapter... no one would know.
Ahem.
Shen Jiu was a very well traveled kid. He's that obnoxious cousin who's been everywhere, seen everything cool, and tried all the cool foreign food... and shows off all that knowledge in every conversation.
Shen Jiu at a restaurant: Oh, my favorite dish to order in the Northern borderlands is the Five Spring Chive dumplings. Pity this place can't hold a candle to the little hole in the wall Grandma brought me to when I was 7. Shen Jiu in the park: Hm, this reminds me of the palace's gardens - the Southern Demon Empire's Summer Palace's left wing gardens to be exact. Insert all the cousins rolling their eyes because they already heard about how another demonic ruler was trying to woo Grandma again, what's new

She-Ra Characters’ favorite foods (Earth foods for simplicity). Will go specific or general category on a case-by-case basis.
Adora: Japanese cheesecake. She loves sweets and these are light and fluffy!
Catra: Meow Mix KBBQ. She loves all the meats and that she can make hers how she likes it (rare) without messing with Adora’s (medium well)
Glimmer: Bao. She made dumplings in S5 and it’s the only food we’ve seen her enjoy afaik.
Bow: Fondue. It’s like cooking your food on tiny arrows!
Perfuma: Vegan salads in general. Because Perfuma.
Mermista: Dungeonness Crab. She has an understanding with most sea creatures but not crabs. Fuck ‘em.
Sea Hawk: Baked Alaska. He likes that it’s set on fire.
Scorpia: Roast turkey legs. They’re yummy and easy to grip with pincers. Perfuma isn’t happy about it, though.
Double Trouble: Caviar. They hate the taste but love how it makes them look fancy.
Entrapta: Tapas. She loves that there’s entire restaurants built around tiny foods!
Hordak: French onion soup in a sourdough bowl. He still prefers his meals in mostly liquid form and is fond of the umami flavor.
Madame Razz: Lakeshore berry pie (ask a Midwesterner)
Frosta: Dino nuggets. IDK, she’s like twelve.
Micah: Frog legs. It reminds him of his favorite food from Beast Island.
Shadow Weaver: Squid ink pasta. Matches her soul.
Thoughts? Differing headcanons? Complaints?
