on chapter 3 and the director is a dick ass bitch. it's so messed up that joohwan got looked over for promotions, but also got told he wasn't good enough to lead a project that he and his team worked so hard on. i know this is just a throwaway plot point but it made me so mad! and the director had the audacity to blame joohwan for almost losing the contract when it was all his doing.
hearing hyoun say honey must have been every bit as awkward and painful for taehyuk as it was for me
uriel has zero chill, dude is ready to lock felix DOWN
after reading multiple articles about this (judge me idc) i think i can confidently say:
this is very demure, very mindful

it's not specific to just ennead, semes infantilizing ukes seem to be a running theme and it's so annoying. horus is so lucky seth tolerates him, if i were seth i'd slap the shit out of horus for his disrespect and misplaced sense of chivalry. there's nothing wrong with lending a helping hand but you can do it in a way that preserves the other person's dignity.
By reading thus far, you can tell that Horus is not as mature as one might think in some cases. When if comes to wanting to be with Seth so bad, that it reflects what he did a child and keeping incense on to keep Seth into staying. And what Horus is doing now in wanting to always do much, I think he's just so eager to make sure Seth is okay, be with him, and touch him etc...
He won't tell Seth about the mirror either because he is jealous of Anubis and Nephthys. But at the same time he's so mature in other ways. He is very reassuring and supportive to the point that it's overwhelming Seth. He supports him as he's atoning, often telling him he IS strong as the Guardian god. But Seth has that curse that Orisis placed on him on his doubt of if he really is strong. So I can see why even the little bit of help makes him so upset, because being weaker simply validates that curse Orisis placed on him.
At the same time, however, Seth is very ill. He's feverish and he's internally wounded. Even FG is telling hint I calm down... So i don't think Horus is overreacting. But there are moments that are funny and he simply just wants to carry Seth. And Seth sees through his BS!
Couldn't have said it any better ♡
I realized how many grammatical mistakes there was, I'm so sorry. I'm sleep deprived, running on 3 hours of sleep in the passed 30 hours.
But I'm glad you at least understood!
What I meant to say is, and in other words:
"By reading thus far, you can tell that Horus is not as mature as one might think, in some cases. When it comes to wanting to be with Seth so bad it reflects on his behavior like what he did a child on keeping incense on to keep Seth into staying by his side. And what Horus is doing now in wanting to stay by Seth's side is almost overkill, but understandable. He really really wants to be there with him, protect him, and make sure he's okay, etc... "

"At the same time, however, Seth is very ill. He's feverish and he's internally wounded. Even FG is telling him to calm down... So i don't think Horus is overreacting, per say. However, there are moments that are funny when he simply just wants to carry Seth. And Seth sees through his BS! "
AHHH!! I AGREE SO MUCH! You’ve worded this beautifully, even with the minor grammatical errors (nothing to be worried about, esp given your lack of sleep)
Haha I'm so exhausted and part of that deprivation is due to Ennead!
So I realized it didn't send my full response. It keeps happening with this website! Ughsjsn
Anyway, i was saying that I noticed that every time Seth tries to do things on his own he gets hurt and raped, even by FG, that mfkr. Now, you can question if chapter 145 was Horus doing the same, but it's hard to tell because in the non mature version, Seth doesn't punch or kick him in the face. Regardless, I still hate that the author made Horus break his vow to never violate Seth again.
I hate on FG, but that's because he's so far a one layered person, and he confuses me. I don't understand his motives like when he was wondering why the auctioneers would humiliate Seth the way they did, yet mfkr HUMILATED HIM BY RAPING HIM! ughdbdb. After this chapter, he at least spoke up some truth and said Horus is worried for him.
Seth has made progress on breaking the cursed bracelet only when Horus is around.
Also, I can't stand people who hate on the fact that Horus calls him uncle.... Like! Serious? For one, in Korean it's a term of respect, and I'd like to think that it's also a term of endearment and used in a connotation of closeness. Everyone calls Seth by his name, God of War, or King of Egypt. Only about two or three people have ever had that ability to call Seth something endearing, and Horus craves that closeness and CRAVES to be his number one.
Horus is the BIGGEST Seth simp. Unfortunately it makes him jealous and stubborn, and although being stubborn has been able to weasle his way into Seth's heart, his jealousy is going to be his biggest downfall/fallout with Seth. Especially if Horus doesn't say anything about Nephthys in the mirror.
The babying is annoying but it's not completely unwarranted: I re-read some chapters and in chapter 152 and they said that Seth could DISAPPEAR if he keeps overdoing it: he's mortal now and can die of the accumulation of internal injuries he's received from using the curse (or having it activate). And it's not just related to the curse: Seth himself says in chapter 124 that now he could even die in the desert just like any human that gets abandoned there, so we know he can and would die now, if he got injured or ill etc etc before he recovers his godhood.
I can answer this question of yours, if you want: "I hate on FG (...) I don't understand his motives like when he was wondering why the auctioneers would humiliate Seth the way they did". I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking about the humans, there, but about the other gods of Egypt, who in punishing Seth by taking away his godhood and sending him out to interact with humans, let him get abused by humans in this manner, which for a former god is obviously humiliating (foreign god seems to think it's one thing for a god to be abused by another god, and a complete humiliation for a god to be abused by a *human*).
Mmmm wow! That is very insightful! So so helpful! Thank you!
So I guess that's why in his brain its okay for him to humiliate him, or better to be him fkn him than those humans. It's fair.
I still hate him though! He could be a very one layered person, but something about him... Like 1% can't hate him because he's always being honest and reliable to always tell the truth in that sense.
That makes me so sad! And I say to people, "are we really reading the same thing anyway?" because look at Seth being blue and green from nausea, the fever, the exhaustion. I would have to go back and read 152. That's great and helpful! Thanks!
i don't think what we're saying are at odds with each other, except that there's definitely a more tactful and compassionate way horus could've gone about it. treating seth as "fragile pottery" as seth put it, was not it. the curse makes his mortality even more apparent, but that shouldn't strip him of his independence and agency. his physical condition shouldn't be prioritized at the expense of his spiritual and mental condition, which happens all too often and is seen here as well. so i do think horus' behavior is unwarranted bc there are many ways to look after and take care of a person, but he chose the one that he should understand is demeaning to seth.
I know in later chapters they have a talk about it. I don't understand fully the Korean and tried to use a translator, but didn't quite understand.
I guess I aslo am trying to understand that Horus has never cared for someone like Seth, because maybe the people he took care of were fragile women and children as he was growing up.
Not to mention that he's not fully mature yet mentally. He's really trying but yeah, yes unfortunately demeaning. I guess to me it's the thought that counts.
It's better imo than how originally the author was gonna make him. Abusive, lustful, obsessive.
I did notice Horus being more paranoid than usual over Seth's safety, to the point he's being a lot more "overbearing" than he usually is (perhaps overly anxious because them being unfamiliar territory now, with an injured Seth and a foreign god they don't really know if they can trust... makes him paranoid that this could be that one "scenario" where that old premonitory vision he had as a kid, about Seth disappearing, could actually become true?). Maybe that's why he's not being as insightful of Seth's emotions as he usually is... (if we leave aside the distraction of having a "rival" present, of course...lol)
Couldn't have said it better myself. You're absolutely right! I think also, the fact that this FG Walmart jesus is considered a rival. I think when Walmart jesus showed up and carried Seth after Seth was on the sand coughing up blood, I think since then, Horus has been more paranoid. He doesn't feel confident that he can fully protect him because as Horus said, he can't best this FG of he was a fit rival for Seth when he was a god.
And, to be honest, even *I* get paranoid about Seth shooting himself in the shoot with his impulsive actions... Ever since he managed to "kill" Osiris, he's basically let the undead Osiris outwit him in every single encounter... and some of those times really made me want to kick him: remember at the end of the 3rd match, when Osiris managed to catch him and almost get him dragged to Duat by his undead monsters, taking advantage of how Seth *got himself* knocked out by foolishly grabbing the cursed bracelet Anubis offered him, with his own hand?? He was still a god, back then, and still he had to be rescued by others... (that time it was by Isis, of all people!) So yeah... can't say I would vouch for Seth knowing how not to act stupidly out of sheer pride, enough to always be trusted with his own safety... (every single time he has a confrontation with the undead Osiris, all of Seth's rationality seems to go down the drain... no matter how much I understand why that is )
Not only with undead Osiris, I think a lot of the time he has his pride on the line. Notice in how when he ran away he got turned into a slave and sold.
honestly even something as simple as horus saying, “if you get hurt one more time or if you don’t take care of yourself i’m gonna have to step in” would’ve gone far.
True. Man, ans then people say Horus is a boring character. They just don't understand him and his many layers. He has many strengths and many weaknesses.
on chapter 88 and this is the first story i came across where the seme actually understood the consequences of his actions and felt enough remorse/cared for the uke enough to finally try and put the uke's needs above his own. he actually wanted sooyoung to thrive and to be in full control of the decisions he makes. there's so many stories where the seme off the deep-end just wants a feisty minx to control and this finally goes beyond that.
saw earlier a bunch of ppl thinking matthew crossed over to the dark side. did his internal ongoing concern about jin up to and including this chapter mean nothing??
tied nice and neat! i don't care for a romantic/sexual relationship btwn sacha and gabin esp bc gabin looks and acts like a child but they seem like a very popular request
there's a lot to unpack this chapter
