did they mention shar’s dad before in flashbacks? is he the king’s second love? cuz i thought his first love that he wanted to be with was a woman, and then that didnt work out cuz crazy empress lady…(?)
No Rishar's father is the emperor's one and only love if I am not wrong. The emperor was friends with Rishar's omega father and had been in love with him for a very young age. However he couldn't gather the courage to confess since he feared that he might get rejected and even thei friendship would end then came Rishar's Alpha dad. He proposed to the omega dad and the latter said yes to him. The emperor could only watched as a bystander as they get married.
my personal theory is that all of the dickheads are each a different aspect of Cliff. Like somehow during a magic accident (probably to help Leon) gone wrong, he split into different people, each guy representing a part of his psyche.
deus(jock w/ anger issues): bloodlust/violent sexual lust/rage— the “id”, going by freud’s theory.
beryl(kicked puppy): fear, anxiety, attachment, sadness (“id” aligned)
memphisto(glasses): intelligence, cunning, logic
this is where freud doesnt work, superego is morality, and that doesn’t exist in our story. at all. but he could be “ego” aligned…
nergal(mpreg enthusiast leader): but if anyone is “ego,” who ensures that the impulses of the id can be expressed in a manner acceptable in the real world, and weighs the costs and benefits of an action before deciding to act upon or abandon impulses—-its naur-gal.
and because time seems to pass differently for these other-worldly creatures, the split happened years and years before these pieces of Cliff found their way back to Leon again(a very, understandably upset, angry Leon, who since Cliff “left him,” hasn’t aged a day)
so none of yall think he might just be pushing sihwa away on purpose?
1. we’ve already established that he has an anxious-avoidant attachment style or something similar
2. plus his fear of abandonment, so put them together and he’d rather push those who care away than watch them leave (he believes sihwa will have to go back home, and he cant go if he still has attachment to his life on earth)
3. sihwa also has attachment issues, but the unhealthy way it comes out for him is shown in the last chapter, where he clings so hard to sohan it tears skin. i’d say he’s more of an anxious attached style(or something along that vein). Not to mention the toxic teaching he had while growing up that all alphaens are superior to other races/ only the strong ones matter in the end.
4. their relationship was a lil codependent, as both had their own parent/childhood issues to bring to the table. but they each know how to balance each other out. sohan (literally and figuratively) brings sihwa down to earth, brings him off his superiority complex throne, and into his arms to know what it is to be human, to love, to have friends. while sihwa, brings sohan out of his head and the avoidant, isolationist behavior, forcing him to interact with others and express his feelings. in a way, sohan also learns what love is like with sihwa.
5. it started out as a sort of situationship, but i truly think they fell for each other for real. i believe they will resolve this fight because i think we all know they can be without each other for long.
it wont be long till sihwa jumps sohan while sohan is in the middle of the street thinking about how he misses sihwa, and then they are both teleported to the ship that will fly them to sihwa’s planet(yes its kidnapping, but its desperate, crazy sihwa, what’d u expect)
i want more of this fine man gadamn why tf is he so beautiful and charismatic only to be a side character!! That shot of him introducing his wind power while he looked like a living shampoo commercial with his long, silky black hair flowing in the wind was too powerful. Like i thought he was gonna be the love interest for a moment there.
damn this author writes angst so WELL. it hurts the more you learn about the characters backstory and in turn how their thought process and mindset/personality is shaped as a result, so when they argue and get into conflict you cant do or say anything but just sit there and watch in PAIN like, “I know why each of you are like this, but at the same time—CAN U JUST— KIISSS gently and hug and make everything BETTER with LOVE~?!?
(((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))♡ please? plsplsplsplsplsplsplspls
that old best friendo is a PSYCHO. i know we should leave him in the past cuz if thats wut skylar wants then okay, but—-okay even if u felt like your “friendship and brotherhood” was betrayed by him giving you one nonconsensual peck on the lips while he was drunk, WHO in their GADAMN RIGHT MIND would respond by leading a group of guys to beat him up and g*ngr*pe him while u fuckin watch?!? like, 0 to a FUCKIN HUNDRED much?!?! not to even mention destroying his whole social life with the rumors… im actually still shocked like he is actually a good fckin actor to be hiding those PSYCHOPATHIC TENDENCIES during their almost TEN YEAR relationship. you EVIL MOTHERFUCKER i hope you end up jobless, no highschool diploma, friendless, bald, and live a THOUSAND TIMES more lonely and miserable than u made Skylar for the REST OF YOUR LIFE until you die alone in an alley with no one to even see or care for your body before the rats and vultures come to eat away at the remains. And i hope in your last moments, you remember the friend that would’ve cared had you not thrown him away and stepped all over him like you did. I hope the regret eats away at you more than the rot does.
well….the guy said “hurt him in a way no one can see” then they all ripped off his clothes to do *inexplicit things to him that required them to hold him down* so…and it is (unfortunately) not an uncommon bl trope in angsty or violent stories like these so my mind just made that conclusion. could be wrong ig. i want to be wrong (ToT) but the imagery is similar so…idk idk…def still a form of SA tho
No, pretty sure they said to “beat him where no one can see”, took his clothes off (which is SA) to beat him up in places that his clothes cover. I’m like 95% sure it wasn’t r*pe. It was also in a classroom too. U right, that trope in BL is common (especially as a fetish/fantasy, not actual trauma), but I don’t think that’s the case here.
"Hey that's enough, his mom and my mom know each other, if they find out about this thing'll get annoying"
"Unless you do it in a way that wont show"
They never said beat him up in a way that wont show, this line is closer to what the other person said which is "Hurt him in a way that wont show" and then they cut to 1 of them bent in the front and another one bent over near his head
I'm 95% sure that indicates rape, it's a semi common bl trope to have homophobic characters rape the mc so it doesn't matter if they're homoplphobic.
Then again this could all be interpreted as just a beating, so I'd say it's left to the reader to decide.
But we have seen this author have the balls to give Cirrus such a horrid backstory so I wouldn't be surprised if it was confirmed that he was gangraped.
Don't try to get on someone for spreading misinformation when the info you're spreading is just as incorrect, ya'll both can be right here ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
Really? I guess up to interpretation then. I think it indicates beating up, I just seen this type of thing in webtoons a lot, like “do it in a way won’t show” so they beat the victim on stomach etc. or undress someone for humiliation. I feel like if it was rape it would have been indicated in a clearer manner like with cirrus
They didn't rape him and you're the one giving misinformation? Lol Read the chapter again, they were beating Skylar up then Skylar's ex best friend told them to not hit him in the face because his mother will find out and that he doesn't want any problems so they should do it where it's not visible.
Well, if reading comprehension is hard for you , I'll show you the "proof". While they were physically beating on him, Minwoo said to stop because his mother and Skylar's mother are friends and if they find out about what they are doing, it'll cause problems and it'll be annoying. Unless you do it in a way it wouldn't show. Then they took Skylar's clothes off to physically abuse his body instead of his face and to humiliate him. Did you see all the bruises on his stomach?
just realized the artist, Gongben, who is working on the serialized version is NOT the artist for “The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion.” That artist is Whale, who only did the pre-serialized version(like, the pilot ep). According to the MTL of the authors note, this is Gongbens first webtoon series ever
the writer of the novel this webtoon was adapted from, Chima (or, ‘cm’), is also the writer for the novel “Necromancer Survival”!!
just thought i’d share for anyone else who didn’t know :)
You just made me realize that necromancer survival actually has a manga adaption! I never read the novel or the manga and only knew of it because the novel author was the same person who made netkama punch, but I think I'll read the manga, tysm.
