They lived happily ever after in a possible 3 way relationship (or a very healthy SD relationship)

OKAY so, when we first see the pair, they are talking to an older more powerful man. He is their current "top" Daddy. seems like they've had one possibly prior to this. Where people are discussing their sexuality, our MC is obessed with ONE thing they seem to be able to posses despite their status:

Opulance.
In queer culture, opulance is Vogue. Vogue is: glamour, camp and that's where the term realness comes from. Your performance had to GIVE "rich femme with a yacht" "Face" "Rich Butch" etc. You don't have to be queer to display opulance, but lots of trans/queers/and literally every queer identity under the umbrella would go to night clubs called Balls and VOGUE or perform opulance.
Because a lot of people in the queer community were ostrasized by their families, in order to get expensive clothing to perform for these vogues,
A lot of queer folks had to go out and be prostitues and service workers.
Rich people who were (secretly) gay would secretly "buy" queer people (as prostitues) and would become pay pigs/daddys for these (literal) queens who would be so beautiful and other worldly that they seemed to float above it all. They would buy them gifts and outfits for their ballrooms and show them of when going out of town as dolls rtc.
It was Opulance. Many queer folks had to pretend the words didn't hurt:
Prostitue/whore
sinners
sex addicts
"going to hell"
Abominations
Vogue was a way to be more than that.

Rich people, ususally, didn't want campy people who were from different classes in their spaces, and if they were in those spaces, many of their (rich) daddys were in dominant positions and places of power. This meant a lot of queer people were abused.


That brings us back to our pair. Two people

MC sees their Attitude, style, glamour and how they float above it all. They literally are angled slightly up (at the end the MC is sitting down looking up at them as well).when something happens, they talk of an exchange with their daddy.
"if you do the thing I like... you'll make up that mistake to me".

HOWEVER- the MC saw the pair kiss eachother, and i'm guessing* their current daddy doesn't know that they do this.
They are above everything, but they also have a life outside of their portrayed opulance, compared to MC's lifestyle, which is mundane and goes in a stright line

Vogue wasn't popular back in the day. Rich people never really knew about vogue until queer people started dancing and bringing those skills to educational/professional spaces.
I can only imagine being unknowing of queer subculture, until I saw someone death drop in a Miku cosplay bedazzled in glitter, screaming "SHA-BLAM! before hitting the floor.

MC starts "dating" them. Here is where the exchange happens...He wants something, but it's not to Dominate them, it's not to top them. It's not even to seperate them, it's to see their "Realness".

He wants a peek of not just their opulance, but something just a tad deeper than that.
The "freak" comment is that MC is not like the "other-rich-guys" that assumes them as prostitues, or seperates them, or even dominates them. He wants the pair to have control of themselves. He wants the ROOT of their opulance- the core of who they are and how they are, and only through the pairs connection for one another (the way the pair is always clingy and together shows that they are already probably a couple that indulges themselves in this opulance...) can he truly see that. That gives the pair power.

That "lesser than" or him literally having his "first-gag" feeling is probably what the MC was looking for. "Arn't you already OURS" is like that verbal proof that HE blelngs to THEM. Rather than MC saying he wants them, he allows them in the position of power. A switch on this dynamic. Something exciting to turn the tables, to ignite a reason to want to try harder than before, so he can become their personal sugar daddy (maybe for forever).

That's why I think They kinda like him, even if it's a SD relationship (which some relationships could last for a VERY long time).

This one was one of my personal favorites. puh-LEASE let me know what ya'll also think~

Baby's first BL. Definitley not DEEP. Very much more shounan ai fluff than anything.
This doesn't take away from the art style and its charm. If you are new to BL, take a peek. Its safe. Not hard-core, not even soft-core but sensually romantic and cute. Story was a little one and done. But makes sense for a high-school romance.

I might agree with the people who want to like it, but just cant get past the fact that:

I know it wasn't "deep"...but they kissed to "seal" a MARRIAGE. That's child marriage, king or not. But during the marriage they kiss. Khalid himself does it again in a *romatic* context...again. at this point in the story the Kahlid is 8yo. Ilya doesn't react to it as he is sleeping at this moment, so yeah, but we still visually confront this 8 yo's attraction to this adult man literally 2 pages later...Ilya goes in heat and they both feel that intensity...which if you KNOW Alpha and Omega tropes, that implies some type of sexuality/sexual urge. They don't do anything, or perform anything, but he grabs at his teeth...I like to think that if I saw this happen in real life, I would probably push that person doing that to an 8yo- away. Granted, he pushes himself away...but still, that's just...ugh.
Then when they meet he's only 18...18. I feel like he's still not "adult enough" for me. It would have been nice if he came back at like 21 at the youngest.

now, I'm not saying "YOU'RE bad for reading this." Sublime picked it up to pusblish, so obviously it has enough people reading it to enjoy it. I just wanted to voice what I think is a valid perspective.

The comment about "i would never use toys" BOOOOO!!! Thats BORING! Unless you literally don't like them...thats one things- and there's nothing wrong with being put off by em- but to say you won't use em cause "im good enough is limiting yourself to an experience just because you're insecure about your body not being "good enough". Let the cinnamon roll use a toy!

If you're reading this and you're like "you're upset cause of that one scene" let me just say that this story still is a 11/10 for me and 2) I can have a "turn off". it's adult content and there will be scenes that are 10/10, 5/10 1/10 or 100/10. That scene went from a 8/10 to a 5/10 for the toy comment. I just hear it so often from insecure people that it just gets annoying to hear after a while.

How does it feel to live my sapphic dreams

the fact that the lady selling g the rings immediately changed her tone and was kind enough to understand and still be such a sweetheart makes me feel a lil more proud to be queer and that even in the world of fiction people are willing to understand.

Almost cried at the par where he started eating emotionally. UGH! I've gained so much weight from trying to keep my emotions in check. It's like...I'm trying to heal something! But then he gets hopeful~ I understand!

The writers create a world where we already understand a group of marginalized people exist and are suffering through their world. We as the audience already agree with the Omegas that they are people too, only to find their love interest to be less then redeemable. Im not squeamish to yaois with rape involved in the story, but give the omegas a chance to stand up for themselves and grow from victims to survivors who find that they realize they deserve better, even if that means no happy lovey-dovey ending.

Ya'll got me ****ed up.
