i wonder what's in yoo joonghyuk's mind when he read this lines straight from the manuscript: [Eyebrows seemingly drawn by a single, uninterrupted stroke of a famed artist's brush; a nose and a chin shaped in perfect angles that defied attempts to measure them through mere devices of men; a pair of deep eyes seemingly carved out of a beautiful jewel containing all the misfortunes found in the world.] … like man's waxing poetry about your handsome looks and you believe kim dokja is fucking straight? who you fooling, bakayero

How many times did he read? Kim Dokja's eyes, shining like stars, dimmed little by little. Kim Dokja fell into a shallow sleep.
Yoo Joonghyuk stared at the scene with empty eyes. The back of the weary Kim Dokja. A snoring sound came out at regular intervals.
— chapter 294
The Dokkaebi King approached Yoo Joonghyuk like an encroaching shadow as the latter dazedly looked up at the sky. No, he was no longer the 'Dokkaebi King'. With every step he took, his face and his silhouette changed.
⸢The pale cheeks; two eyes gleaming like stars, were now looking at him.⸥
— chapter 508
Yoo Joonghyuk hurriedly rubbed his eyes without even realizing it. Was he hallucinating, instead? This young girl's external appearance resembled Kim Dokja's, somehow. Her eyes sparkling like stars were quietly observing him.
— chapter 549

orv epilogue spoilers below
I'm having thoughts about the 0th round and the inclusion of Lee Seolhwa and Yoo Joonghyuk's marriage. I've encountered a decent amount of people dissatisfied with it- some for how it feels too little too late for Lee Seolhwa as a character, which is completely fair. She's one of those unfortunate characters introduced as having a major role and then subsequently sidelined in the madness, save for a few little moments. Her being married to YJH definitely can come off as an afterthought, and I really do wish we had seen more of her, bc what we see of her and of them is lovely. There's also a common thing I see in fanworks featuring her where she's either turned into someone toxic, they were always just friends, or she's in a wlw relationship- out of these only the first one is enough to make me actually dislike the writing choices, but there is a pattern of people gently ignoring their relationship in fanworks in favor of shipping YJH with someone else (hsy and kdj mostly). Which is understandable in au's in particular bc I get it, most people like having their ships only navigate around each other- though I still think that them as exes who remained close friends is the peak dynamic.
However, speaking of ships, I think her marriage to YJH is actually so so important for joongdok canonically- and loved what they were doing the first time I read it. Just because Yjh and Kdj's dynamic is not canonically tied up as a romance does not make it any less meaningful or impactful- and in my opinion does the exact opposite. Because what 0th round is doing is showing that yjh and kdj's relationship is one not constrained to mere romance. What they mean to each other, the importance they each have to the other's life, its something so much more grand than that. Having that deep interpersonal connection play out around YJH's marriage is bolded proof of that. And I love it- I love relationships that arent confined by "normal" standards of love and happiness. While I don't blame anyone for coming away with a romantic interpretation of yjh and kdjs interactions (those lines do be kinda spicy) honestly i think 0th round says more about how yjh and kdj's sense of self is so intertwined with the other that they cannot exist without it. (kdj literally saying 'i am yjh' as a coping mechanism, using yjh's story to survive. yjh's existence as a character and how he seeks to find out who he is beyond that, and how no matter where he goes on that journey, kdj is influencing him and guiding him).

Inspired by @pillow-boi ‘s mermaid au fishies. Brain said ‘yes, gay fish people who are extremely religious’
Kdj is a pariah to merfolk society <3 and yjh? Yjh is a prince-poacher who nearly drowned from an enemy attack above Kdj’s house.
Kdj is ‘cursed’ and was basically orphaned by his stupid human father and dead mermaid mother(rip Sookyung)
Yes I gave him clawed fins stfu, they work like seal/walrus fins
I might write something, idk but right now all I can think about is gay mermaids and poachers

Isekai Joongdok
Isekai
Kim Dokja is a lucky insignificant villain who gets what he wants but always is always unlucky when he is near Prince Yoo Joonghyuk.
His lucky unlucky magic or whatever this strange phenomenon is the reason why the character Kim Dokja died in the novel. So instead of following the book context, he decided to fake his death and travel to a very unknown small country where he went to live and became a priest.
Funny plan but it worked! Even though he isn’t much of a believer in Gods and beings, being a priest gives you a lot of free stuff: a roof, a food only by faking your prayers.
Every time Kim Dokja prayed for something it’ll come true ( perks of being the luckiest shit ever)
So the small country regarded him as God’s Favorite or Dearly Beloved’s Priest.
Everyone was so kind to him and would always greet him with a smile.
At first, Kim Dokja was weirded out because no one (not even in the books nor the people from his real world) speaks warmly to him. But slowly by slowly, he warmed up! And as an insignificant villain as he was this was still something new to him.
The funny thing is Kim Dokja’s prayers aren’t exactly prayers that are regarded as right and holy.
Kim Dokja’s prayer would sometimes be:
“Oh my Holiness, May you bless us with rain pour it so hard bc how the actual fuck are we gonna survive here it's been in droughts for years! I will seriously burn you statues down— Ahem. amen.”
Often times it’ll be like,
“Our Beloved Patron, Please send us the resources for the children in need. How would they learn and spread their wings when they grow up!! Are you insane?!? Amen.”
But lately, it’s just plain
“Blessings, Now ASAP.”
And it works, all the time!
He wondered if the Gods, they’re a bit masochist–
Yoo Joonghyuk the prince of the land heard about the stories of a priest who was so loved by the gods that he decided to visit the small country in hopes to have the priest help him with regards to the health of his sister.
It was hard to locate and often times its recluse and the people there are very hostile towards foreign people.
They think that the prince would steal their precious priest away from them.
After months of trying to visit the small country, he was finally given the chance to visit the famous priest.
It was only then Yoo Joonghyuk realized that their so-called priest was supposed to be dead.
Kim Dokja looked at Yoo Joonghyuk with fear, eyes wide open, mouth gaping in horror—
His hands clamping with sweat his face pale as a sheep. Before Yoo Joonghyuk could greet him, Kim Dokja ran away.
And of course, he forgot about the disadvantage of this lucky power…. this bastard had to be here.
Kim Dokja slipped on the stairs in front of him.
