i have been listening to Like Him for like 30 minutes and trying to come up with an orv animatic in my fucking head. . yes. insane. the devil is speaking through me. i know.
i'm thinking: blood leaking out of his bandaged face. there is something very, very wrong. his gaze flashes between the mirror and his now bloody hands, his leaking wounds... slowly turning into his father (or is he? what did he look like, again?), and then the flashing back from mirror to hands and forth is rather dizzying, and then he's in his father's point of view when he stabbed him, then he's the same scared kid he was that day.. then, him trying to save his mom that one time with the fable stuff idk and it doesn't work. it doesn't work. how much did i know about you? how much did i know about him? then, by the end, he is alone. on the subway. is this not what you wanted, all along? noone on the train but you, you and your phone and TWSA. but anyway that's not what this entry is about
i also realized something. because of the fourth wall, at the beginning most people weren't able to see kdj's face, right? through the censor, like his face was blurred. of course, it was a degree of separation, protection. of course, kim dokja's mom book haunting him both at home (abusive family. wait, did she also grow up abused? it would make sense why he got abused by his uncle's family if she was also the scapegoat. this is not what this entry is about). so that skill from fourth wall was likely a wish that he had when he was growing up and also as a young adult right? of being able to hide his face and be able to not be recognized, to be granted a degree of anonymity within real life, outside the damn cellphone.... he may have had body image issues as well too, which might have contributed.
of course, there's how not many people saw his face during the early arcs, but. relatively speaking. what if that's how he remembered his father's face, too? blurred, out of reach, out of bounds... he died when he was young, and then he spent crazy amounts of stress during his formative years, likely chronic sleep deprivation ... so, he doesn't remember his father's face. and no one knew his face for the first few arcs. this could actually be a fire concept for the animatic WAIIIT
momma, i'm chasing a ghooost... do i look like him? (like what? uh?)
also yes im working on making the first re-reading orv entry
