these au chaps fill me with so much cute aggression i wanna punch a wall ugh i love them sm
how can he be a scientist and also say "the more variables, the better" that's not how this works, that's not how ANY of this works!!
anyone have recs like this, where both mc and ml are obsessed with each other? "uke fell first but seme fell harder" also works, as long as it's , like, o b s e s s i v e iykwim.
1. i feel like it would be interesting for the story/character dev if the mom is NOT accepting, at least at first. it'll give jaehyuk an opportunity to put his money where his mouth is n show that he really isn't like the shitty ex who threw garam under the bus for his mom
2.a. i feel like if this were written by a japanese author it would actually be a bittersweet tragedy in which jaehyuk promises he's different from the shitty ex but when the rubber meets the road it turns out we are all cowards in front of homophobia/our mothers so he gets a brutal lesson before he learns to stand up to her/society.... maybe i been reading too much manga with the tragedy tag lmao
idk why everyone is acting like the seme is some golden greenflag angel. uke was honest about his desires, he was genuinely turned on by getting hit. seme is the one who lied and pretended he liked it, bc of his shitty nice-guy white-knight savior complex. and then he has the fuckin chutzpah to act like consensually engaging in bdsm (that he researched!!) makes him a piece of shit. it's okay that he feels resistance to hitting someone at first, author could've turned it into a sweet story about how he is conflicted about enjoying it so he has to work thru the cognitive dissonance... but instead we got slut-shaming and this weird psychological hostage situation.
seriously, fuck this seme and the horse he rode in on.
kang mincheol is an object lesson in what happens when you take yr partner for granted. that's it, that's the whole character arc.
like he started off pure and sincere, so their love was pure and sincere. but haesoo loved him so hard he started thinking he's all that and she's lucky to have him... and here we are today. he's an entitled piece of shit whose much-younger girlfriend will leave him as soon as she gets wise to him, because she might be naive but she hasn't had her self-esteem ground to dust by being with him the last 13 years.
...that the friend is like "you remember im teeechnically a foreigner, right?" as a roundabout way of telling jeongyeon that he's open-minded.
tear drops from a bottle will kill ya. only drink natural tears straight from the source.
translation's slowly going downhill, but at least manhwa authors have finally figured out that we want GREEN FLAG doms (between this and A Basic Guidebook to BDSM, i predict a green flag renaissance due to oversaturation in the red flag market)
jihwan sobbing himself to exhaustion is me fr every time i remember i was cursed with a uterus and also a physical body that exists >:(
when the monster x human couple is more wholesome than half the human x human couples... ( ･﹏･)
