Na-uh you can't do this to me author-nim
stop it, I don't want to start liking vericon and you can't make me. Please bring albis back. Because that long silver hair, shiny golden eyes and defined abs already had me cold sweating since before but that gentle smile at the end has me all sorts of conflicted. Bro is as majestic as he is unstable.
IF TOXIC ,WHY HOT?? stop making toxic characters look like michael angelo carved them from stone.
I'm glad that a good chunk of people reading this have actually been able to notice that sowon isn't just some slutty MC but rather a clearly traumatized person who uses sex as a form of self destructive coping mechanism to help him dissasociate from reality
that's why (in my opinion) what vericon did here is really important
because instead of just giving sowon what he wanted (the thing that was bad for him)
treating him gently actually worked as a grounding mechanism that pulled him out of that moment
pure hearted children taming dangerous loyal beasts is one those tropes I will never get tired of, it's so endearing. Also this is unrelated but lauv as a character and his struggles is so relatable to someone neurodivergent.
"the things that come easy to other people, are extremely hard for lauv"
"The noisy world is now peaceful and quite"
"All he could do was suppress his emotions"
"because his ways are different, he couldn't get alonge with the others"
along with the constant remarks of how isolating lauv's condition is and how much lyrica's compassion and understanding helped him made me actually tear up.
My younger sister is high functioning autistic and I also suffer from sensory processing disorder along with adhd and the world through the eyes and ears of people like us can be loud and overwhelming. But when you find the right people to be with you through it, the noise and the scaryness can sometimes feel a lil more tolerable.
I swear hathor reminds me so much of mitsuri from demon slayer but way more childish and delusional (≧▽≦) thankfully bastet was there to bring her back to earth.
