forcing myself to become a jo-lover so the inevitable tj-second-male-lead-syndrome conclusion doesn't make me kms
Hahah real but bro in dear door i really really loved Cain still i couldnt go on because the friend was yearning so for the mc couldnt continue with this too bc my love for second male leads is a little too extremeee
the way the last two chapters have completely changed the context behind TJ's actions is blowing me away. neither ian nor TJ are the men they pretend to be. this is such compelling writing.
A very consistent theme all throughout wolf in the house has been the difference between love and possession.
If you love them let them go, self-sacrifice and strength. miilena and bexan, bexan and minsuk, ein and leto.
and then the cruelty of selfish desire, of entitlement to your claim. milena and pei, leto and yanek, minsuk and his ex-boyfriend.
chapter 31, ein to leto: "you don't place your ego above the other person's happiness when you're in love."
That's wonderful
Very self-explanatory.
If we needed a brief resume of this story it would be this comment.
what a beautiful observation!!! i remember ppl asking why leto betrayed yanek when yanek treated him "well" but it truly wasnt love, yanek didnt love leto but it seemed to me that he was like a prize to him that no one else could touch
it's a take that's really irked me too lol... all i think is that leto was only ever worth anything to yanek as a dog on a leash. ein was the one to truly set him free and never expect anything in return not even loyalty. park jiyeon did an incredible job illustrating both ein and leto's inner conflicts and insecurities. dismissing their relationship as the product of "disloyalty" is a very sad bastardisation of such a tender story.
ur so right!!! i hope that ppl come to realize that one day
Being team TJ has been the most unbearable torture I have ever willingly put myself through, every update is PAIN.
All we know is pain
whenever this updates i get so fucking excited that i get nauseous
YOU WILL NEVER GET ME TO HATE THE CHESTNUT HAIR, NEVER
even as jooin chastises himself, he's putting in an uncharacteristic amount of effort into taking care of yugyeom. cooking, cleaning, lingering on his thoughts instead of defaulting to his lackadaisical, water off a duck's back attitude. all things that he neither does for himself nor could be bothered to do for his old partners. paired with the monologue it's such a sweet and subtle way of showcasing jooin's steadily growing feelings for yugyeom.
both character's experience a heightened sense of empathy around one another, it's such a romantic way of tethering them over just the usual cycle of plain sex and misunderstandings. theres so much effort put into this writing i love it so much.
I THOUGHT I WAS FUCKING HALLUCINATING I FELT EVERY NERVE ENDING IN MY BODY FLARE UP LIKE FUCKING CHRISTMAS LIGHTS I HAVENT EVEN CLICKED ON THE UPDATE YET AND IM GONNA THROW UP FROM HAPPINESS
cock block of the CENTURY i almost punched my fucking wall
i have long-standing beef with this comic but putting that aside; chapter 58, page 19.
heeseo forces taekyung to eat pomegranates on first day of confinement. in greek myth, a smitten hades abducts persephone into the underworld, and she refuses all food and drink, knowing the law of abode that states consuming fare in hade's realm will render you unable to ever leave.
when demeter finds persephone, hades acquiesces to her demand for persephone's freedom. persephone prepares to leave, hades offers her a pomegranate as a parting favour. and depending on the version of the myth; he tricks her, or persephone is fully aware of the consequences.
either way, she eats a handful of pomegranate seeds, inextricably binding her to the underworld, and by extension hades. persephone leaves but she has to return to hades every winter.
cool choice of visual, regardless of intention. i check on the story every now and then cause im curious which version of the myth it will mirror by the end.
i love when smart people give a little extra info to those of us who arent as knowledgable
Loved your view on it...but i didn’t find any such scene on the page you mentioned.. As I've read it quite a while ago i Can't remember if there was such a scene
this was my mistake ! it was not chapter 58, it was chapter 53 !
