The author of this comic has captured the psychology of an unequal power dynamic very well. A young dude fresh out of his teens with nothing to his name and no life experience, and his older guardian/lover who has far more worldly experience and stability. He has the role of a romantic partner while also acting as a parent of sorts. Even if not inherently “abusive” it’s definitely an inappropriate relationship, and you can’t help but feel kind of uncomfortable even when good or cute things happen between them. It feels realistic.
How do you have a omegaverse story where the two MCs have fluid genders and STILL make it follow the most generic, trope-ish plot points ever? This could have been amazing. Could have been a fun read that explores various power dynamics and position switches. Maybe even have the smaller guy remain an alpha and the larger redhead be the omega, etc etc. Nope. Just generic r*pe, and traditional verse roles. The “I want to have your children now” after all that nonsense was especially cringe. What a shame. The art is amazing though
Little glasses boy is a condescending, manipulative little sh*t from the start, I couldnt really root for them as a couple. He forces himself into the conversation that the girls are having with his friend, takes it over until they leave from the awkwardness, then tells his friend later “oh they ran off because YOU are bad at conversation” (basically making it seem like he’s the one at fault ) This is exactly the kind of move possessive lovers do to keep your self esteem low and make you feel like you can only ever rely on them. Scanned through the rest, and it seems like this nastiness is never addressed. Yikes. This is going to be a very draining relationship for the seme.
Already p*ssed, because I know this is just going to led to a huge misunderstanding from both the boyfriend and the brother and neither are going to believe him, and it probably won’t be resolved at all. Uuuugh is this really the only direction this story can go?
