would not make things better but i feel like things would make more sense if the author made woojin(younger brother) a sadomasochist that has both sadistic AND masochistic tendencies, just to explain why he never fought back and somehow still “liked” his bro when they were younger and the beat ups were about grades and insecurities and less about woojin being one manipulative, obsessive, mf. it would also explain why he continues to stick to him, even after wooyeon’s attempts to verbally and physically beat it into him that he hates him.
i guess i dont like how the author is framing woojin’s character to be like, “oh, i was an innocent young boy who loved and respected my brother, but he was mean and didnt pay attention to me so i turned into something terrible! :0 if only he cared for me like i did for him!” like, b*tch, “something terrible”?! you’ve r*ped him, isolated him thru indirect bullying, and you’re tryna say “sibling fights” from childhood was your villain origin story?? nahhhhhhh stahp right there.
but idk maybe the author is tryna do some “unreliable narrator” sh*t, who knows.
also i think parenting went wrong somewhere cuz there are deeply seated issues for both brothers that communication coulda solved. maybe the parent that was closest to wooyeon(older bro) coulda sat him down and been like, “honey talk to me whats wrong? you weren’t like this before why are u being so cruel to your brother?” maybe take him on a roadtrip of one-on-one parent-son bonding to coax the truth out of him idk. just separate the two and talk to each of them individually cuz wooyeon didnt even wanna look at his brother. then both parents mediate between the two kids from there.
if u made it here after reading all the chapters, my comment above has no spoilers, i just didnt want it to take up space cuz its a LONG rant.
You described my thoughts perfectly
watch it be yoona…..
but even if it is, it was still shitty of her to pull out with all those other players last minute. thats like disappearing with someone without even giving your work to your group right before the project is due. and if she did it for revenge thats mega-petty gaddamn.
aw shit here we go….
further into the spiral….
crossdressing aint bad….but your reasoning and intent for it is crazy my guy….like, n o , stopppp
taekyung nooooooo
i love you, and i know you’re historically, catastrophically bad with words, but i need you to understand that ending the conversation like that might’ve made things worse (T.T) but i also know that its because you’re bad at communicating and confrontation that you won’t understand until its too late. (´༎ρ༎`) and now these heesoo-thers are gonna hate on u so baddddd
why is toxic yaoi always “tough dude who doesnt know how to explain or express himself instead of lashing out/making excuses when it matters” x “sneaky dude who’s always scheming, keeps secrets, and before u know it he stabby stab u in the back or goes from 1-100 (in the worst way) cuz he got separation anxiety” T0T
and why do we keep reading this, continue riding the train when we know its gonna go off the rails and end in a wreck ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡
like gaddamn….cha taekyung, use your WORDS. and heesoo, i need u to SLOW DOWN and chill for a moment before you go crazy and do something u regret. And both of you—need LOTS OF THERAPY.
well…something more that you regret. you did already r*pe the man…
im glad there are less heesoo-thers out here pointing out that wtf heesoo mean, “why r u sleeping with me(do u like me)?” when he literally raped him and then threatened to kill himself quite a few times, sometimes implying that its Taekyung’s fault if he goes through with it.
miss author nim really went back into the drafts, the WIPs, and said, “hmmm…which one should i work on to send to the publishers next, which one is my next bestseller, mmm…AH!” *clicks on file containing plans for a possible continuation of her three chapter hellspawn she wrote for the “fucked up” themed anthology a while back* “THIS is it! This is my moneymaker! this is my ticket to stardom!”
….i try to root for artists to make their bank cuz its tough out there for them to…but out of all your options…did u reeeeally have to take that one?
i will say however….i am really curious to see where the story ends up. im like, skimming past the porn and trying to pick up the pieces of plot. how reliable is wooyeon’s memory of the past? his brother woojin is seen to be very manipulative but how far does it go in the past? its not visually confirmed that the rumors and his lack of parental love were all because of woojin. regarding the parents, maybe they’re just bad parents who favor one child, or there is a misunderstanding that was never cleared up between the two parties and now they just think their eldest is an unruly, angry child that they dont know what to do with(still bad parenting tho) and wooyeon thinks his parents stopped loving him since the moment woojin stepped into his life.
as for woojin’s character, what are his motives?? whats his story?? even if u dont get along with your stepbrother well, no one just jumps to, “oh I KNOW how to make him stop being annoying, hypnotize him to SUCK MY DICK!!! that’ll teach him!!” liek NO, why would u do that it makes no sense unless u wanted to fuck him in the first place. which brings us to: whyy??? when did u have this desire?? when did u have this attraction? why are u in denial about it? why do u love ruining things for your brother??when did this sadist desire start? when did the manipulating start?
my other thing is: according to experts/scientists—contrary to myths, hypnotism cannot make you do what you don't want to do. if u rly dont want to do something during a session, u wont do it. so….
im wondering if the author decided to ignore that for convenience or something, cuz wooyeon looks really in love with his sunbae(im rooting for them even tho i have a feeling it wont work out!°(>_<)°) and he just socked woojin in the face outside “playtime” …when he was masturbating earlier he replaced junghwi’s face with woojin, but as i’ve said before, thats not how hypnotism works, it doesnt make u fall in love. so idk.
that's right. not only is this manhwa a literal wet floormop, the hypnosis incorporation is also incorrect. they're really ruining the image of BL.
why were the students at an ART SCHOOL weirded out by it. maybe its my perception of western art schools (cuz weirder pieces have been created and spoken about like legitimate works to critique and analyze instead of just reacting with “wtf”) but like they should all know that theres nothing to be ashamed of if you’re the nude model of a painting. they should be used to nude paintings and analyzing it from technical point of view as well as interpreting its meaning for themselves. also its just rude in general to bombard her with these comments about her body. thats harassment.
It's weird in the sense that her sister drew it also this is still a high school, apparently
They weren't weirded out tho? They even complemented her nipple color too
the dad especially in the last chapter…LIKE CAN U PLZ CALM DOWN ENOUGH to rly observe your own son and how he reacted to that hand and realize that he might not be getting the best of treatment by your psychotic, hellspawn of a wife??? he literally came here to thank you genuinely and give an apology(which he rly shouldt have) for wasting your time?!?!
and u react LIKE THIS??!?? u just tell him “oh, just so you know, i was kinda worried for ur health a bit but then i remembered i hate your mother, and by proxy you, so im gonna make richar my heir cuz fck u both. no hard feelings btw. oh wait, who am i kidding, you’re her spawn, u have no feelings. btw, are u in cahoots with her on the murders that i have purposely hid from everyone??”
the crazy thing is that maybe the dad wouldnt have had to worry about ettie scheming with the mom if he had just put his foot down at the moment of his birth, and kept the child far far away from her influence and paid special attention to his education and interactions with others so that they could work together to upsurp the mom’s power. ettiene would be unaffected by her cuz he’s an omega like her. maybe fake the baby ettie’s death or “assassination” and then have him trained and taught in secret somewhere else to take the throne. idk.
but noooo (i get that after that traumatic experience with the mom, he wanted no involvement with her or things associated, but still. what could have been…)
like yea his past abuse shouldnt have happened and probably affected him mentally and caused him to turn to his obsession that drives his actions now by an unhealthy amount BUT if he doesn’t start treat my babygorl ossan right i might still riot cuz he can’t be doing this to my beautiful, pure, gentlemanly Sayo. he’s gon give my old boi a heart attack. im literally mirei, like “Sayo, honey, let that asshole chase after death if he wants too, u deserve better than him.”
i dont know u well yet morisaki but i wish you victory and know based off your reactions so far that you will be a great match for our grumpy boi shouma. perhaps your relationship will be like tarou(red hair) and hanako(green hair w/ glasses) from Wotaku ni Koi. If yoshino gets married to someone else anyway. which is how its lookinggggg σ(^_^;)
