People need to understand what “grooming” actually is. Because it’s being thrown around a bit too lightly and we all need to be more educated about it…. Grooming is done with the INTENTION to build trust with a child with the intention to use, manipulate, exploit. Typically in a sexual manner.
Assuming: the FL raising a child who never saw her as a parent, and eventually falls for her which she never intended or wanted to happen (and is shocked by it). Not grooming. Just socially inappropriate. If she declines the advances in his adulthood and he continues to persist, now that falls into him being the aggressor.
Now if she is going to raise him to then use him to fight against the church, then yeah that’s grooming. Because of the intention to use/manipulate him. But I think people don’t really consider that THAT big of a problem especially in revenge stories— we’re just icked by him falling for her as an adult because of their close relationship during childhood. But please note that intention is always important)
Deadass, Idk how to feel.
Homeskillet couldn't have just... idk made her anything other than a concubine? A worker in his home would have been way. ESPECIALLY bc he's like "I BOUGHT you, your life belongs to me now" like????
Umm, sir? It's giving ˢˡᵃᵛᵉʳʸ (I'm so sorry, but that's lowkey how I feel)
BC she literally can't say "no" because that could be seen as "she's refusing to do her job" and she doesn't know what would happen to her if she refuses. In her head, she's probably like, 'if I refuse, will his kindness go away?'
And IDGAF if she says it's okay. No, nO girl. She's experiencing 'kindness'(i.e. basic human rights) for the first time after a long time and she's like is this love? NO GIRL, bro tells you that you can't leave him bc you 'belong to him' like every damn chapter. It's giving POSSESSION of an object-- NOT woman I love vibes.
BUT I'm a stupid fucker for these tropes, so I am still really curious to see where it'll go. Which is why idk how to feel. Thoughts anyone?
This one is for my horny friends. I try to leave so comments on them
