I think about jiang yanlis most stupid choice so often of running onto that battlefield. It's her most stupid choice but makes the most sense within her character and the story. She has spent her entire childhood perfecting these peacemaking skills and being a pillar for her brothers, protecting them from her parents. But they kept getting older and all of a sudden she isn't protecting them from her parents, there's politics and wars and so much violence that her soup can no longer fix. She watches as she gets closer and closer to losing at least one of her brothers, as their family falls apart and all of a sudden she's grieving her husband, alone with a baby in a place so foreign to her with no support and she is going to lose one if not both of her brothers and she is going to be alone. So she doesn't make the rational choice, she's scared and she's already had a taste at what might happen if she doesn't do something but all she has are the skills of a peacemaker from a time when things were simpler but she tries her best, doing what she knows to keep her brothers safe and fails. It's the stupidest thing she could have done and also the only thing that made sense to her at that moment

I'm so sorry Sam girls but Sam would not call Dean "Dee" as a nickname. Dean isn't very nicknameable and Sam's not that nickname guy. Unfortunate I know.

I don’t know if they’d actually do it (although the show is an ode to whodunnits) but the murder on the orient express-route is sorta interesting because we saw the way the cast kinda aligned as a group this episode and what if there’s been multiple murder attempts and the poison was only the first that got caught but different cast mates have all tried

Ok but oddly enough i feel like everything's gonna end just fine (im severely delusional)
i think so too. if this side story was important enough to be so long and break the 'perfect' open ending, there has to be a reason for it.
at the end of orv, after seeing everything kimcom has gone through for kim dokja, the story ends with a choice for you. does kim dokja wake up? after everything, does he survive? as a fragment of kim dokja, did you imagine that he (you) lived?
everything points to kim dokja waking up. but still, there are some people who, even after reading this entire story which insists over and over that kim dokja/they can live, still can't imagine it. there are some for whom the ending leaves them worse off.
sorry for using you so much anon, but this ask
Anonymous asked:
I know it's not clear but do you think there's some hope for us at the end of orv side stories? I finished orv and I feel so hopeless right now. can side stories change anything for us readers who aren't satisfied with ending..?
an open ending isn't the perfect ending for everyone. if the story is completed for you at this point, if you've learned that it's okay to survive, then orv has done what it wanted to do. you don't need to read any farther if you don't want to. the orv side story is still a side story, in the end
the plot of the side story. the readers of orv are brought directly into the story. at the center is an author, risking everything for their survival, saying over and over that these readers need to survive. do you see what i mean? this side story is about you as much as it is about kim dokja.
for the people who still don't get it, for the people who can't imagine a happy end on their own, the side story will shove it in your face. there is no maybes anymore. kim dokja will live, and so will you.

missa, after his self resentment and lamenting about how he doesn’t feel worthy or like he should be accepted, after telling himself and the capybaras that he doesn’t have a home, not really - after all is said and done, he returns to phil & missa, leaving his mini mi in the house on the wall. as if he’d consider anywhere other than the house he shared with phil safe enough. seeking out safety and home brought him right back where he started.
something about how despite his internal conflicts and issues about what he thinks he deserves, he’ll still come back. and for all he worries that he is not enough to be loved in return, his name is still on the warp stone.
