Hmmm....
Damn, stupidity or wise— only two words I can describe uke. The latest chapter definitely gave a bit of a glimpse on his past.
Our first thought definitely would have been, wtf why is he just letting it go and going with the flow. The uke knows his self-value, to a point that he mentioned he wouldn't risk his life over love. He submitted to the fact that no matter what choice he makes, it won't go the way he wants it to so what's the point of struggling. A bit of a different dynamic to see this kind of personality in a character.
Or unless the plot is just messy and isn't written well.
I see the points of other people basically being mad about how Ash literally FORCED Lyle to admitting about the proposal.
But I can also see the reason why he would do it, they both experienced the bad ordeals that happened because Lyle, as sweet as he is, is bad at communicating when something is wrong. He keeps it in, piles those emotions inside, until he explodes from overthinking and do the unthinkable. As an individual who is very bad at opening up, IT'S NOT EASY, even of people say tell me when something's wrong and such— it is easier said than done. Ash is very vocal but Lyle is still learning and as obvious as it is he is still bad at it despite promising he would say tell Ash if something is wrong. It's not that easy to break out from the loop you conditioned yourself to and due to his upbringing this is proven as a difficult challenge for him.
Now looking at Ash's perspective, he very much so wanted to wait for Lyle to tell him what's wrong, but as his significant other and knowing his issues with communicating how he feels, I can understand why he had to 'force' him to say what is wrong. Now, I wouldn't justify that f*cking the truth out of him is right but if he knew that Lyle was planning to propose he wouldn't have done it either— as we all know guys LYLE IS BAD AT KEEPING SECRETS, he wears his heart on his sleeves in front of Ash.
For both of them, one that has no troubles communicating with what he feels and the other being an overthinker that has issues communicating when things are rough— you will see frustrations on both sides no matter what. As we have witnessed on Ash's ex, their relationship almost had another tension if Ash didn't become forward with Lyle running away.
This reminds me of that particular manhua where the Seme is a literal psychopath, and genuinely aware of what he is and his nature that he cannot change.
This type of heavy content is not for everyone.
Caesar is a mf psycho that literally cannot grasp the concept of "gentle love", his fucked up upbringing amplified it as years went on and you can say he's literally insane with how he thinks of things. What's normal for the Uke doesn't add up to his formula that all he knows is how to inflict dominance by rape and torture, should we be glad he didnt cut off his limbs this time at this rate, death might be the option for a happy ending lmao.
i feel like if his upbringin was normal hed just be a wee bit crazy. like possessive n shit n needin to know that his love is in fact reciprocated. as you said with his upbringin it fucked him up immensely and he doesnt really know how to regulate his emotions and feelings aside from inflictin violence and bein domineerin towards people. its really sad tbh
Dang story plot took 99.9% of my brain cells. Art is absolutely bangin!!!
Damn the art was so good that it made some of y'all question if getting eaten out in the ass as a guy is heaven-sending
UKE MANAGED TO ESCAPE OUTSIDE BRUH RUUUUN WHY THE FCK YOU LOOKING BACK RUUUUUN
Its probably the Stockholm syndrome
I hope the author has something in store for us and see seme suffer. Cuz this mf only sees uke as a pleasure hole. ┌( ◕ 益 ◕ )ᓄ
Saw the raws, didn't understand a thing cuz its in korean, but Seme is a piece of poopoo man. Uke was clearly going through something cuz of someone that suddenly called him and all this Seme could think about is fucking him relentlessly ┌( ◕ 益 ◕ )ᓄ
Then what? We gonna see him say "I ended her life for her sake and I'd rather have her life end by my hands instead of the king she swore loyalty and life to protect, how painful would it be for her"
Amma bout to lose my shid— Estelle didn't choose to be ignorant, the people around her, THE PEOPLE SHE TRUSTED, decided to put her on that pedestal of pure/bright star. She couldn't help it, too much of that trust made her blind and never questioned the people around her. Khalid chose to be like the people around her instead of being a wussy and justifying his lies and actions as means for her protection.
sorry I meant to like
Very well said!
