Mom be like: "Why is nobody around when you do something like this?"
oh my god, just please stop using your son as your trophy. It's seriously embrassing, and it's saddening that there are parents in real life who also acts like this (I know coz I experience the same). I kinda use to be like Ian who just do what is expected of me, and that burned me out, really. Every achievement feels like an obligation; that's why I don't even feel like celebrating them. But now, I am slowly healing, and I speak up whenever they do things that makes me feel uncomfortable.
I hope Ian can freely express himself to his mom also :)
needs rec for a short tragedy, any genre will do.

help me find this: basically it's about mafia thingy, the guy had to be protected by the seme because the uke was the son of the boss. But he was kinda neglected at the same time. But it turns out that the seme set the whole thing up, and apparently, he knew the uke since he was a child since he used to viist an orphanage. i guess something like this, help me, thanks.
Remind me if a decent translation is posted. I refuse to read a shity-ass translation, it destroys my reading experience.
