in my head, i kept reading "dojun", as someone who can grow up to overcome any challenges, cuz the mom ya they were trying for a omega, but she never explicitly confirmed that his name, meant that she was dissapointed
I think so too Aeju has this kink for fucked-up-brother. They've been using this trope way too often to just dismissed it as a plot
yeahh ur right abt that,, ig what i was trying to say is that if they wanted an omega that bad they would have adopted one instead of and alpha (dojun)? That in my mind basically confirms theyre blood bros but idk hogu hagyeongsu traumatized me
EXACTLY! like honestly it’s a fucked up trope but in interesting one that could make for a great story, but like aeju just drops the ball
i remember reading one of aeju's works where the blonde/brown haired mc gets gang raped and im way too traumatized and sad over that cinnamon roll to read back even 3 yrs later
indeed, but idk like the way they drew dohwa like the odd one from day one was sus like the eldest bro is sweet dad is sweet mom is sweet dojun is a tsun tsun dere and doyun is a tsun baby girl (and baby mama n wifey) but dohwa's hair texture doesnt look all that similar to neither momma or papa.
bruv was always remembered as the borderline psycho from both dojun and doyun, glad doyun tripped dohwa for making dojun cry.
like i get dj's reacting he was in a position where he cant run to his mom, run to doyun, or lock himself up in his house awy from dohwa and jinyoung was wishy washy. But he didnt encourage thaat behavior. also glad he kept saying how gross dohwa's being compared to all other bl bottoms who melt and are drawn with a horny face. it still felt too unfinished and taehan's papas story too wasnt written.
good point with adoption, i think in this case what the parents thought was a omega girl or boy that looks like momma with having dad's characteristics since they have sons with mommas persona and dads looks as a lovey dovey couple but that became the source of their kids insecurities since they misunderstood and eunsung took advantage of it
YES that was hogu hagyeongsu. I recently reread it and im still baffled at how much of a fever dream it is (but very entertaining).
thinking of it still got me cowering under my sheets, in angst, and sadness, is it worth a reread?
ngl we can leave the step bro n step sis plot to kink porn, and only kink porn please
To be completely honest i enjoy an entertaining story and the characters were very much that. But the mc is INSUFFERABLE and has no backbone. also there are a billion plot holes when i went back to reread it, so i would say go for it if ur looking for a light read. u really cant think too hard abt that story though
lol I tried on the account 3 times, hoping i can get past the gang rape part this time around
Isnt it interesting that aeju has written an obsessed brother character-that-kinda-belongs-in-fucking-jail twice now?
The glasses brother in hogu hagyeongsu was honestly completely unnecessary, but imo the entire existence of that manhwa is a fever dream (a lowkey enjoyable one, for masochists) so i didnt think too much about it.
Dohwa…well he also feels a bit random, except this timw there’s no easy cop out because love shuttle actually has a coherent story. Was it absolutely needed for his character to get in to way of dojun? Especially in a side story? Idk man i feel like aeju was def fighting some demons. And the demons won.
It’s fiction, so i wont clock aeju too hard for these…more than questionable characters, but i do feel like aeju enjoys this brother trope quite a bit. The most frustrating part is how they are done with no care or nuance and just end being a character with no dimension or depth.
I will admit that glasses bro in Hogu Hagyeongsu is different from dohwa, but they give off the same vibe. Had this side story been longer you BET dohwa wouldve gotten some fuckass redemption and suddenly he’s valid again. I love aeju but i feel like if they liked this brother trope so much they could have put more effort into it.
Yes this is vwry long i dont touch grass but also my last gripe with this side story is the fact that we basically don’t get confirmation on whether or not they are blood related (maybe we did, idk, got too tired to actually read it cos i felt like a hamster on a wheel). Obv it’s heavily insinuated that they are blood bros (also if they weren’t, why would mom name dojun “challenge”? Like bro just adopt an omega), but i feel that the reason aeju didnt mention it explicitly was prob bcuz they didnt want to make the incest stuff too…blatant? I mean come on you literally wrote hogu hagyeongsu it’s fine we’re already traumatized enough
Anyway yes this is my 5 paragraph essay with no thesis just pure the thoughts of a non-grass toucher
