a. love their banter
b. I laughed SO hard at Jaehyuk IMMEDIATELY being sexualised by every man in the room as soon as they thought he was single
c. I'm happy that Garam's friend got a sugar daddy. good for him, I hope they live happily ever after in an equal dynamic (Garma's friend spends half his money)

If you really want to get into it, the gender roles are role-ing right? Like this isn't all that deep or even representative of gender fluidity and stuff
HOWEVER
I like to think this is the beginning of manwhas that are targeted towards cis-heteronormative people and that are more respectful about gender-queer people, ESPECIALLY more tolerant towards people assigned as men at birth, who dress and act like women socially
so i think thats great
and also, I feel like because the author is so "unsure" about Crystal's gender, with crystal staying with crystal as a name but using he/him, your interpretation of Illian and Crystal is really the big thing that like makes the story queer representation you know?
Idk!!! I have complex feelings!!!
BUT!!
I liked this! I think this was really sweet, Crystal is SUCh a lovely person and Illian is such a little devil! And it makes my little fucked up gender heart squeel with happiness to see two people who are just "my gender is... ☆me☆ gender" end up happy just really warms up my heart maaaaan

a. butthole tatto??
b. Theres no way that was like safe to immediately get down to buisness with, like I know magic, but also like, healing? sweat is not good for open wounds (which is what tattoos often count as in safety stuff) Plus like wouldn't it hurt? it sounds very unfun to have skin sticking to a new tattoo and unsticking repeatedly, I immagine like, skin on a chair getting like heat stuck and like coming off and it really hurts vibes

I guess with the butthole tattoo, we kinda have to suspend our minds and apprehensions and hope Angel was wise enough to use a healing spell afterwards. As far as pain, the MC maybe can take certain pains bc of who he is and his power or maybe he's used to pain now bc of who he is, his powers, AND their research. OR....Angel hopefully cast a spell for pain.
I dont know. The act of the tattoo didn't take me out, but what happened afterwards...or what DIDNT (but should've) happened kinda took me out. I had the same questions you had tbh lmao.
its like "awwwee this is fun and flufffy and stupid.... he's liteally his school gaurdian contact (⊙…⊙ )"
I know like thats so weird broo like cmon
