Okay I don't give a shit about age differences or whatever, BUT watching a child grow up and being a FATHER figure to them before beginning a relationship is so fucked. He even said he changed his diapers as a baby. They always make it so the younger guy is pushy/the first to fall in 'love' and therefore everything's okay but it's NOT!!!! The older person ALWAYS has the responsibility to reject advances and set boundaries. I don't care if they're pestered or whatever, DO NOT FUCK SOMEONE YOU WATCHED GROW UP FROM A BABY. YOU'RE A PREDATOR!!!!!!!!!!
Fucckkkkk this nasty ass trope.
THIS is how you do a dark, psychological 'BL' right. Alex was irredeemable and the author actually ACKNOWLEDGED that which is so rare in the genre. The ending is so fucking perfect. Clark got revenge AND he killed him in the most stone cold way possible. He never once loved him, was fucked up in his own way but didn't excuse his actions like Alex felt he deserved. This is honestly barely even a BL (I hesitate to even call it that) because the 'love' scenes between them were never once romantic. Alex thought they were, sure, but Clark never once considered Alex anything more than a nuisance at best. There is no 'love' here.
I could literally write an essay on this one it's so peak.
