got reminded of this haunting dialogue today from the short story Dragged Fighting from His Tomb by Barry Hannah "Tell me the most exquisite truths you know."

#karafami satomi only has two modes around kyouji: "die please (Sick & Tired of my Bitch Wife)" and "i'm gonna get you a present please accept 🥺"

in retrospect when i was livechatting karaoke iko to my friend and texted this and he replied with "So Casablanca is actually canon" i should have realized this gay couple was going to ruin my life

(KSE govt job arc so far) HEARTWARMING: men lose all critical thinking skills in front of one shy and submissive Bambi eyes omega #gsgw

#gsgw the #bronzesol meetcute is hilarious KSE is about to scam Bronze so hard with his Ultimate Submissive Omega Concubine act with the Bambi eyes and it says what kind of freak shit 007 Bronze is into under all that shoujo male lead wholesomeness

this isekai MC decided to become an extremely omegafied timid shy passive pitiful stereotypical uwu uke and then he said "this is my natural form actually" amazing he's not just a dudebro repellent he's also a wokejoshi repellent. bdsnim said kim soleum ghost story is for the #tradjoshi

#gsgw i love how after escaping braun's clutches soleum immediately goes back to babygirlifying him (there's no way my braun is a cosmic horror isn't he more human?) calm your pheromones omega i know you think he's handsome but you're the only one who'd call that thing human

#gsgw ok lizard having a meltdown repetitiously writing up case reports on KSE for a month is real tho i too would go a little crazy if my cute little ND-friendly wife was cheating on me with an evil dandy from new york who speaks with a hollywood transatlantic accent in 2025

#gsgw ok look if i had a well-paying job that gave me free housing, free dining & catering, free ice cream, and didn't subject me to pointless project meetings & instead allowed me to be creative about my passions and if you tried to "rescue" from all that I'd think you hated me

actually forget this thread now this is the most important hsy analysis i've ever done

i think a novel's got well-written fem chars when instead of fanon ships you get a lot of canon ideas to dissect re: how hsy's role is defined in how kdj & yjh are both "novels" but hsy isn't & how that uniquely positions her against the hegemony of the story she's trying to fight

i am once again asking #orv readers to check out the short story Through the Flash from the collection Friday Black by Adjei-Brenyah. beautiful, gut wrenching timeloop angst. less than 20 pages

read Grief is the thing with feathers by max porter today and it's super short, a quick afternoon read, but man does it pack a punch. one of the most interesting anatomies of grief i've ever read. the crow landed somewhere tender and frayed in me, a place that hangs in thin bleeding shreds

back to reading #gsgw i'm in the tamra express and did not expect yi seonghae to be a WOKE MORALIST type she looked so much like a danganronpa char. i want her to 1v1 viper in the marketplace of ideas

you know gsgw author a fujo because all the female chars so far are presented like Final Girls who can solo a slasher or even a cosmic horror flick meanwhile the men already seem remote controlled by KSE's omega pheromones and are doomed to walk off a cliff chasing him

if i like het narratives for "centering women" i could only mean literary fiction exploring the pitfalls of heterosexual relations such as broken marriages, struggles with infertility, post-partum depression, themes which offer rich, complex, sober portraits of womanhood & gender relations

Lispector is slowly becoming my new fav, the way she renders the female psyche in unusual colors and images. The Buffalo is a breathless unraveling of a woman reacting to everything that seems to remind her of her own cage of love & forgiveness (two christian duties of a woman/wife)

Interesting piece on the shift from literacy to a reanimated corpse culture of orality with a backslide into rigid structures of thought and how that leads into a beclouded, conservative society. but it's worse because instead of homeric hymns we have AI and brainrot thebaffler.com/salvos/we-us...

people don't understand i see a picture of kim dokja orv or kim soleum ghost story and within me stirs the whiskey soaked lust of a homophobic conservative trucker having his unwashed cock licked clean by a pretty boy behind a gas station

walt whitman would have been a generational ao3poster

silent hill f spoilers reached the segment where we "let go of our old life" (to get married off to fox mask i assume? ugh) and the violent ways in which we kill all our friends represent to me the inherent violence, pain & trauma involved in the process of a girl "becoming a woman"

A whole beautiful book meditating on the color blue (On Being Blue by William H Gass) my man has done it again

It can be found on the retranslation tumblr. www.tumblr.com/orvretransla...

shilling gsgw to orv friends is fun bc yay another salaryman omega serving us Eldritch bathwater🤤 but i see kdj's eldritch flavor as one that fills you with existential despair, confronting an impossibly abstract power you can't even conceive how to fight, and only when the light of the end graces

this yaoi smacking me in the face with the hottest alpha butch ever. 10ft tall Mother of all human life? i believe it. she's the samsin halmeoni (goddess of childbirth) because she looks like she can get anyone pregnant #trust

forms.gle/YqoWTwaVj7vk... Artist Slots: There are some open. Writer Slots: Maybe 1. #괴담출근 #gsgw #gdcg #fanzine

#gsgw #braunsol still can't move on from the ribbon gifting scene it's so tender (delusion) kse tying a bowtie for him and obsessively fixing it by micrometers so it looks perfect and dandy on Braun <3 kse dressing up his doll sure why not, definitely no consequences coming his scaredy way

i need to put Director Ho and Kim Dokja in a blender together they would be the bestest frenemies. unethical ceo gumiho off-putting otherworldly fake bitches with stranger danger creeper vibes

really cool concept for #horror writing actually. infrasonic waves can even make you see ghosts if the waves are vibrating at the same rate as your eyes (18hz) www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTvr...

seeing all these yaoi recs on twit but none of the horndog affectionate simpy sunbaes are the bottom and none of the shy flustered demure maidens are the top 💔 fine i'll rec one instead clowncore romcom where MC loves (feeling up) his shy wife but both are too stupid to confess. on Manta!

just found this naver webtoon where unhinged highschooler MC uses her superpowers for "good" by saying violence is ALWAYS the answer. we got #DarkWoke shoujo now title: 모두가 그녀를 사랑해

#mouthwashing related: i don't see any evidence for Anya having a soft spot for Curly & that being the reason for her distress at administering drugs to Curly. i think the reason's much simpler: it triggers her own trauma

existential horror written in wikipedia entry style about the first man who uploaded his brain so scientists (& later the common public) could run simulations & ofc use him for dehumanizing tasks like 1000hr labor. the context drift thing is my worst nightmare. short 5 min read! qntm.org/mmacevedo

the jp found footage horror clip discussed in this vid is just the right kind of creepy. no jumpscares either! youtu.be/7BQb55TY5hg

the theme of being insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe is not what makes cosmic horror scary to me since it's an abrahamic notion that humans are super special born with a special purpose (man is god's greatest creation & animals are simply first drafts etc) to me a good cosmic horror

also i watched this last night and this is the first religious horror that got to me. Because it relies so much on tension, darkness, sound design & the actor's phenomenal performance to work the horror into your imagination. Bone-chilling experience in under 8 minutes youtu.be/BI9fKfX5V68

Incredible sci-fi short story by Arthur C. Clarke called The Nine Billion Names of God that ends in a grand scale fitting its title. Barely 5 pages please read! The ending left me speechless. The way the cosmic horror just slips in faculty.winthrop.edu/kosterj/WRIT...

#gsgw lizard doing yaoi seme moves for 3 arcs straight in a horror novel is mindblowing. The most office romance Male Lead ever. He's the one ML who's consistently been growing his yaoi stocks and got KSE swooning calling him a dream boss before you even reach 100 chapters.

(prog metal) look... i know it's 22 minutes... but press play. just press play and you'll get it. please just press play you will hear something beautiful and ethereal and your brain will heal just press. play. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSyf...

#gsgw KSE harem spectrum so far (under 90 chapters) <greenflag [lizard, bronze]--[j3]-----red flag [saheon]------[director gumiHO]---------------------------black flag [Braun]>

#gsgw also I'm beginning to understand why yjhstans like Lizard so much. he definitely is the Office Romance Male Lead. the implicit trust KSE holds for him :') Lizard is the one guy who successfully won the cat over. Which is a big deal knowing how little KSE tries to bond w ppl (*so far)

#gsgw KSE: finally snapped back to my senses, phew! I forgot how scary Braun was. I need to be more careful balancing the scales of power between us. KSE, 5 minutes later: [goes back to giggling and flirting with Braun]

#mouthwashing thinking again about how the line "our worst moments don't make us monsters" was purely Anya coping with the thought of their captain whom she's always tried to see as a responsible figure (even when he failed her) crashing the ship, yet Jimmy uses those words to absolve himself

beautiful poem. those last 2 stanzas haunt me poets.org/poem/bookshelf

more seriously tho it's cute how Bronze just aggressively wants to adopt KSE and sees delusional levels of goodness in him which tells me a lot about Bronze himself. terribly honest straight-laced dude who talks like a rulebook only to instantly start making exceptions for 1 speedrunner

#gsgw bronze barely knows the guy but he's completely bewitched by KSE's [competent sigma male but who's hopelessly kind & pitiful] ruse and decided he wants to protect KSE from everything ever. he's the easiest simp so far to fall for KSE... most stereotypical male lead type i fear

if you're like me who missed out on Haunting Ground as a kid I recommend watching this video essay on it because it's such a shame this game won't get a remake. had no idea how disturbing this game got with its allusions to Sexual Violence (that voice clip!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDSW...

making a #braunsol canon gay crimes list #블솔 #gsgw

#gsgw still can't move on from Braun stepping in to talk KSE through a panic attack, patiently grounding KSE and keeping him safe & shielded from an actual psychic attack. that was oddly romantic given his eldritch SCP Neutral Evil nature & he's actively helping KSE calm down in this next one too

you know i love orv women as characters but aside from jang hayeong none of them are the type i obsess over. then comes gsgw giving me major chars that have my type of women in both chara design and personality and i love her. our cool sexy noona.
