Chap. 32: Lol she's a heroine that threatens bad guys with fortune-telling on them
Bully Boy, if you're so frustrated about your dad's remarriage, your life, or whatever crawled up your azz lately, then you go vent by starting a sport, art, videogames, or even therapy... Cause, even if misery likes company, it's still pathetic, and the guy whose misery you're creating, in order to get you through the day, is not gonna be there forever.
O... kay... She's seen it already. Now take them the heck OUT of there and take all the time you want to explain, at another place, a MUCH SAFER other place...!
Pigtails insisting she can solve *any* kind of marital problem between them (like she doesn't give two f.. about other people's privacy) seriously begs the sarcasm: "Girl, would you insist 'you can help' even if the 'problem' turned out to be your bro's irreversibly impotent? You think you'd be able to 'help' even 'then'??" (no offense to rl impotent men, or to female scientists in the DE treatment industry... just seriously HATE meddling people who don't respect other people's privacy)
And I ALSO hate people who ignorantly claim they can solve easily solve all of another person's problems
This Pigtails is getting more and more extreme in her obsession to get the mc to give up on divorce. So extreme, that I'm even preparined for her to even offer fulfilling her brother's "duties in the marital bed" for him, too, any day now
she really wants that cash, but they can all kiss mcs ass
Yep, that's how it is. I just couldn't help the sarcasm because of how much Pigtails keeps insisting she can help them solve *any* kind of marital problem between those two... That's why I thought, "Like, girl, are you gonna help even if it turns out the 'problem' is your bro is irreversibly impotent? You think you'd be able to offer help even 'then'??" (no ofense to impotent men)
I love this story so much. The scenes with the ghosts and spiritual beasts are hilarious, and the FL's personality is so amusing (and the dark haired guy's personality is quickly going in the same direction, lmao) They're like too cute grumpy cats, hiding their big hearts under a grumpy face. So cute!! **outing myself as a rabid cat lover**
Lol, Dan's POV is so far removed from how it's all coming off in readers' perspective, it's hilariously funny. I'm getting an irresistible comical feel that I'm sure was not what the author was going for... lmao. At least he rescued him from those security bullies (at... least... ... ?). But Dan's thoughts are so far off the mark I'm dying
The foster father ALREADY making stupid mistakes like hiring a viper woman to be her teacher... (as for the massacre of the red light sisters, I'm temporarily waiting for it to be revealed as someone else's scheme... I do think the priests who never stopped visiting the place would have had more of a reason to do it in order to cover the whole thing up)
I do too. I think the priest paid the knights to do that to cover up their wrong doings. I mean we saw how fucked up they are I wound think that they would pay to get rid of the sisters because they could fuck up their reputation because who would go to a temple where the priest there beat and abuse woman for fun and their lust???
I think in the past people have considered it a legit form of seduction to act a bit touchy feely with a person that one had already had any type of previous "relations" with... The reason is obvious: sometimes, consent could be obtained through sheer "perseverance" (lmao), but of course, cannot stress enough that the idea was "convincing" and not forcing... and, only the other person could say "where" was their limit (unless, of course, the exchange was between an adult and a minor, because those are off limits even when the minor "consents").
To be painfully honest here, Seth is like the KING of mixed signals: just when I thought Horus putting his fingers inside him was crossing the line, what was he doing? Worrying about Horu's face turning serious all of a sudden (when he realized Seth had been with someone else), THAT was what Seth was doing... Talk about getting distracted from the fact that your a** is getting fingered supposedly against your will, by the most random of reasons... How the heck am I as a reader supposed to figure out this character's confusing signals, if he gets side-tracked and starts focusing about different random things, every five minutes? ...So, I was glad the whole thing got cut short.
Oh I just noticed that. I’m just too focused on the consent and didn’t even realize what you pointed out.
Yeah, at this point I'm not gonna be surprised anymore even if we get something like Seth saying some crap like, "No no, stop... oh look, lol, that cloud up there totally looks like a clown!!" Ugh.
While in real life there is no such thing as a "script" for SA victims, I don't think think broadness of survivors' reactions is what the author's trying to portray here... (MAN, if only...) Rather than Toni Colette's "Unbelievable", I think Fifty Shades of Grey/Twilight ero dynamics is closer, to what we're getting here... (if we go STRICTLY by author's intention, or what seems to be the author's purpose, leaving aside how we each all feel about it). Even if we're all sick and tired of that type of ero dynamic. I'm even starting to miss Sekhmet, because with her at least things are clear: I know what to feel, because she's never portrayed as anything other than the nasty, punishment loving, hilariously twisted bi*** that she is. (PLEASE, come BACK, Sekhmet!)
That's the sole reason I don't pay attention to the "romance" aspect anymore. The author's portrayal of love or even rape isn't consistent anymore. I liked those aspects in the first season even with its flaws but the second seems to go nowhere with that.
I was okay with the slow burn, but since seeing the raw version of this chapter weeks ago, I was so disappointed. People seemed to be happy about that being 'hot' as usual. He was not drugged, he wasn't under any kind of influence, but decided to say no without stopping the act. Of course it's played as "Horus is stronger than me and I can't shake him off when it's convenient for the sexy time of the plot". If the author had removed this banter this sex scene would have been better even if it wasn't my taste.
I'm more interested in Seth's redemption, how he will handle his worshippers, what he has forgotten after he ascended to godhood and what's behind Hathor/Sekmeth dynamic. I had the feeling since the first season that the romance would have been forced. The only character the author until now doesn't know how to handle in the romance department is Seth.
Yep, I agree a million %: "The author's portrayal of love or even rape isn't consistent anymore." I think this one phrase of yours is the best diagnosis we can give about what's going wrong with this story. It's lack of consistency in the boundaries between love and seduction versus rape and toxicity
Hahaha, the white-shirt twin's face, I'm dying!!
Look at the twins each reacting to Liz in a completely different way, and they say those two share the same soul..??? If that was true, it'd have to be a "soul with split personalities"??? Because this just shows, they don't do absolutely everything the same (a.k.a., "that theory is entirely bullsh***")
