i'm still thinking abt this and i'd like to clarify- what i'm trying to say is it's good that no one's being taken advantage of. none of the characters are the "innocent" ones or can be pitied because of a certain personality trait or dramatic irony, because they're all completely aware of how fucked up everything is, and, for the most part, are making practically no moves to change it. even the mc, who's a bottom (and usually bottoms get the worst outcome in toxic relationships or are made (physically and emotionally) to be pitied more) is a toxic bitch!! and so is everyone else!! :-)
alright see- i'm good w ALL the relationships in this because everyone's toxic and aware that they're toxic. a self aware fucked up person having a fucked up relationship with another self aware fucked up person is the best kind of relationship (for these types of stories) because everyone knows what's going on and how they're fucking up their own and each other's relationship, and everyone's accepted it and are (generally) okay with it.
in something like killing stalking, bum is a naive cunt (NOT saying he's innocent or good cause he's definitely not lmao) and therefore bum + woo's relationship is gross and not good. in something like color recipe, one guy is clearly not into it so it's also a very bad relationship.
but in love or hate, both the mc AND the redhead (im sorry im...not good w names) are aware that they are fucked up humans and are in a fucked up + toxic relationship, AND even K is aware of how fucked up mc is and is okay with it, too. so it's all good (not GOOD good...u know what i mean)!!
for these types of stories (fucked up, toxic relationships all around) this is the best kind of story because!! everything is CONSENSUAL (for the MOST part), and no one's gonna get surprised w the bad outcome because everyone's already aware that things are fucked up.
what im trying 2 say is i support all relationships in this story cause they're all hot and gonna b fucked up + probably toxic no matter what !! ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ thanks 4 listenin folks
