ok I know this is like straight pwop (porn w/o plot) but..
"But Roy had never been loved, so he didn't know how to express it"
I have a theory from what we've seen of Roy based on that:
He might gave grown up surrounded by s*x-crazed MANIACS who taught him to be like that. Also from what we saw in Apprentice Roy, (I can only assume that he was maybe 17-19 at the time?? He looked pretty young, and even now he still does.. I don't know, since nothing was mentioned about their age, but anyway) he was taught by someone who had intense sexual urges, which possibly led him to normalize it too. He doesn't associate sex with love, though, that's what most people associate it with. He associates it with pleasure (and partially his work). He doesn't understand the concept of love, right? That's why he can't express it. I'm probably looking WAY too far into this but like.. it makes sense. Why else would he have made the Golems and thought they were cute and tried to express how he loved them regardless of the fact that he didn't know how? Why else would he have a love/hate relationship with Orc when Orc actually takes really good care of him? Because he doesn't understand the concept of love. He was never SHOWN love before. Name ONE time where he created a situation involving sex that HE chose to be in for his OWN pleasure. Not in Sorcerer Series, not in Apprentice Roy, not in Roy and Org And Roy's Homecoming, not in Dark Sorcerer And The Beast (though he did have sex with the mumuck consensually, that's BESIDES THE POINT-). So yeah. sorry for this long ahh theory but I love making theories!!! if anyone has anything to add please do. And remember, that's just a theory. A PPATTA THEORY!!!! (rip matpat)
I have a question for you guys uhm: how do you pronounce Cirrus' name? I really need to know because I DON'T KNOW HOW PLEASE HELP ME
oh the reason for this is actually pretty nice. their names are different in every translation, but they always mean the same - sky and cloud. the name change happens to show the connection between the characters and the importance of their relationship more. From the official physical copy of litc in italian: "Lost in the Cloud (original title “Cloud”) is a Boys Love (BL) and “coming of age” story about the growth and relationship between Cirrus and Skylar. For our edition of Lost In The Cloud we have decided to keep the names of the protagonists from the official English edition of L*zhin (the original publisher of the work), names by which our protagonists are known around the world. In Korean, however, the two boys’ names are Hyunwoon and Haneul respectively. Hyunwoon means “cloud”, from which the name Cirrus is derived (in fact cirrus is a type of cloud), while Haneul means “sky”, and for him we have Skylar (from sky, precisely). We thought this little explanation could help better understand the relationship between Cirrus and Skylar, and the roots on which their story will be built."
when he loves like a puppy (i know he's not in love with him, they're just friends. don't come for me)
