the poor kid was bullied and tortured, and couldn’t even cry for help. i like that mc was deceived and is starting to regain his empathy because even though his life wasn’t easy either- it doesn’t mean other peoples pain aren’t valid
considering the severity of the student’s situation too, i think having someone truly understand being in his shoes while having to gain the sensitivity for his circumstances was such a good choice
im jk obviously but why does the ugly raccoon and half baked trash get more screen time with changil than the actual love of his life? the side stories were supposed to give them justice. but when will they get to win, im actually sick of seeing these beautiful softhearted men be tormented by this author
LITERALLY
he was never a child how come you’re still stuck on that. i understand it’s uncomfortable that they were together ten years during the young to adult form, but that was the whole point. supernatural beings don’t adhere to human laws or morality but he never saw tae as a parent. did y’all forget, he only took on a child’s appearance because he admired the care and affection they received? not because he was physically and mentally a kid
tae on the other hand was really conflicted and it took him time to accept the person he raised was never young nor easily impressionable. he’s probably regressed back into a kid because he once again feels safe in that vulnerable form? it’s supposed to be poetic and obviously not for sexual means tf…
HyoUn did see him as a parent to an extent tho…he never used the words “father”, but he’s said stuff like TaeHyuk raised him into who he is and they both make comments about TaeHyuk teaching him things. I agree with what you’re saying, but I also understand why ppl feel a lil icky.
i agree with why people feel icky!! even i do because of the initial arrangement and decade long “raising”. but i hate people calling their situation grooming or that tae was making moves on a child essentially. i wanted to explain hyo was always an adult, but while (even i think) it’s dubious- he’s never been mentally a child and took on that form to survive!
for me, when hyo says tae raised him i take it more like nurturing and showing him the good parts of humans > viewing him as a literal parental figure. which could just my cope tbh
exactlyyyy and same
tho i do find it weird that he was willing to change his role in HyoUn’s life like that. Even if he didn’t groom him, it feels like that teacher/student relationship trope where it’s like “yeah i was 18 and in hs, but im graduated now. let’s be in a relationship”…that’s where i find it weird on TaeHyuk’s end.
trust me i feel the same… i was complaining about that in real time which is why i brought up the initial arrangement and raising. my only issue is people not conceptualizing hyo was never a child
i was hoping hyo would physically change SUPER quick and then be with tae for however long. but stretching out those years with each younger hyo made the relationship unnecessarily controversial and for what! at first i thought it’d be one of those grew up overnight situations. he’d be a kid/teen for two weeks at a time and then boom adult form. but no a decade is insane
with tae falling in love after the weirdness passed somehow (?) i place full blame the onto the author because any other build up could’ve sufficed so i wrote a different version in my head idk
no srsly there is def sumn to be said about the author’s writing choices. they def made this a dubious situation.
the chemistry and their awkwardness is SO GOOD!! first times are supposed to be like this! constantly changing things when it feels uncomfortable, then figuring out what feels good after all the trials is PEAK
i will never get over how caring and intimate their scenes feel. so full of reassurance and love its the sweetest thing ever
i was so excited and it’s just another reupload WHYYY!
And why are they doing it so often... It's annoying at this point.
if they are doing this as a placeholder for the next chapter, I wish they would just name it as a placeholder.
I wish do to
seth didn’t even care for the war spoils, he wanted a kid and his wife only to be infinitely betrayed over by someone he trusted his whole entire soul with… and neph being a victim of rape too what the fuck?? ISIS OPEN YOUR STUPID EYES AND WHEN WILL OSIRIS BITCH ASS GET PUNISHED
sami and her parents being separated on bad terms is even more horrible… all her resentment and anger and grief must be hard to manage and it’s understandable why she doesn’t want close relationships anymore
the uncle was supposed to be an adult in this situation but ended up taking his sadness out on her, ffs! she was the one needing unconditional support
why is a tops favorite communication style always rape until forced confession it’s more annoying when the bottom is just as in love and caring, but they are sorting things out behind the scenes because they know their lover is oddly possessive and wouldn’t approve
EXACTLY ITS NOT THAT FUCKIGN HARD TO TALK TO YOUR LOVER
RIGHT and it’s always never what they think it is (cheating or breaking promises)… even from a distance it looks like they’re arguing so the whole “imma rape my lover because im angry and upset” makes zero sense. be a “normal” toxic bf and go punch a fucking wall freak
crashing out on your partner for a delulu assumption is the dumbest part about a miscommunication to sa pipeline
Exactly! But also what do you expect from the guy who threatened to kill himself if they didn't get together LMAO also that was my exact thought, they looked like they were arguing instead of flirting or whatever tf he thought the only thought going through his head is that he dared to do something he told him not to
literally?? he saw them yelling at each other was thought nothing of it and ikr i should’ve known but it’s always annoying whenever the mc is SO IN LOVE, REASSURING, AND NOT NEGLECTFUL!!!!
and i love fictional toxic relationships LMAO but for tops… is rape the best psychological torture they could think of? and not something mental or plotting to isolate them Σ( ￣□￣||) besides the obvious for why it’s bad, the “rape because i can’t control you” trope is terribly boring. woah a man asserting his power through sa !! how new and innovative !!
people calling him ugly unprovoked, his younger brother, everyone being annoyingly sexual around him, and then always being caught up in a bl scheme… no one would be spared in my eyes
