aw shiet im tearing up, my boy wooin!!! you go, ahhh!!!!! ohhh i cant wait for jiwoo to go up there and destroy their bully ass bitch ass stupid ass AHHHHHHH! oh, man, my heart needs this so bad
aww RIP his ears. actually found out through that one Unus Annus (RIP) video and the comment section that piercing guns are bad to pierce your ears with cuz they use blunt force and not a sharp needle to stick that shit in. having a prof ear piercing kit with the proper needles and instructions is MUCH safer. so RIP to yall who went to claire's ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Really?? I'm genuinely curious about this topic.
I didn't necessarily go to 'Claire's' when I first got my ears pierced (in the typical staring point: the ear lobes), but I did go to a store like 'Macy's' or 'Dillard's' when I got them done and I remember that they also used a piercing gun on me and I did Not have a painful experience at all. I would even go as far to say that the method used left me a good impression on how to do it based on my experience.
Do you think it's a different kind of piercing gun they use than compared to the kind used at 'Claire's'??
Claire's is known for its cheap accessories and products targeted toward teenage girls. And that includes earrings whose cheap metals can rust or oxidize and cause irritation to people with sensitive skin. I'm guessing your experience was better mostly because of the quality of the jewelry. Macy's and I'm guessing probably Dillard's too uses hypoallergenic metals which does a great deal in reducing complications since a lot of the infections are caused by cheap jewelry.
Also, I've heard horror stories of employees who used to work at Claire's who said that the people piercing these kids' ears don't even get special training for it. Also, there's no actual aftercare/advice for the new wound, they just hand you a bottle of aftercare lotion and don't really go through all the ways to take proper care of the healing ears. And you can't even sterilize the piercing guns cuz they're plastic. Sterilizing is different from mere disinfecting because sterilization kills all the bad stuff via heat while disinfecting just reduces the number of bacteria. As you can guess, adding heat to plastic would just melt it.
Either way, if anyone you know is planning on getting their ears pierced, I still wouldn't go for the piercing gun. A couple of my friends whose ears were pierced using a proper needle said they didn't really feel anything and that the only scary part was right before because they were nervous lol. So there's actually no con in going with a proper sharp needle. And thus concludes my Ted talk on this topic, thanks for hanging around to the end!
Of course, no in fact I Love Ted Talks, lol, (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ so thank you for providing such a detailed reply to my inquiry; it's really very appreciated! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ Please join my Ted Talk too, Lol.
Yeah, I see where you're coming from cause the impression that 'Claire's' products gives me is that of something similar to "jewelry-like" products for mainly kids or preteens and what I clearly recall my mother insisting and the sales clerk confirming the earrings to be used were real gold(metal) in order to avoid "complications" from the piercing.
Wow those 'Claire's' horror stories do sound bad.(⊙…⊙ ) They should really raise the bar on their quality standards when it comes to people's health and body like that.(No actual hating-on from me for the 'Claire's' company though, lol.)
Maybe the piercing gun they used on me on my experience was more of like a professional-grade one??╮(￣▽￣)╭ Not sure, but now it gives me the urge to like interview a jewelry consultant at a 'Macy's' on this factor in order to get to the bottom of this investigation, Lol!
Sorry if this new question may sound like a dumb one, but what exactly is "a proper sharp needle"? Is it like a sewing needle cause that's all that I'm imagining when you say it like that, lol.(￣∇￣") The sensation I had when they pierced me, from what I can recall, was something described like "a jolt" maybe. A quick and easy action kinda like a stapler motion, but with no pain actually. Course for me too the only scary part was the anxiety that came beforehand when anticipating what is going to be done to one.
'Lene', thanks again for taking some of your valuable time to have answered my inquiry on this topic! You sound so informative on this subject matter and always remember intelligence can be attractive too!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Hey, no problem! And I'm not really that smart haha, I just did a little bit of online digging, trying to get them facts.
Apparently there are three types of needles one can use to do piercings but the most common one that's used for ears (and most other types of piercings) is a hollow needle. The needles come in different sizes (also called gauges). It's kinda weird cuz the smaller the gauge the bigger the hole piercing is. For example, a 20 gauge is what's typically used for ear piercing (along with 18 gauge) and it measures out to 0.8mm. Compared to a 14 gauge which is a 1.6mm needle typically used for belly button piercings!
The other two needles are a cannula needle (which is very similar to the hollow needle and it's also called a catheter cuz it works like a doctor's insert catheter) and a curve needle. The curve needle isn't really used much but apparently it's curved shape makes it safer to use for piercings since it doesn't accidentally get pierced to another side of the ear.
I'll drop the link here, if you want a more detailed explanation!

Hi there 'Lene'. (●'◡'●)ﾉ Aw, really how sweet of you to have gone through the trouble of doing that online digging getting these facts.(▰˘◡˘▰)
Oh no, I would absolutely say you're smart because half the battle is research in the first place and without it one simply doesn't become smart without that research component,(Why do you think teachers & professors give out so much homework which requires looking info up anyway, lol) so you 'Lene' got that research aspect down
to a T!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Wow this info is definitely informative; no kidding!(☆▽☆) That one "Cannula needle" sounds like it would really hurt; Ouch!Σ( ￣□￣||) I clearly know about nothing on this subject matter, ╮(￣▽￣)╭ but I'm willing to learn ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ in case I'd want to get another piercing.
Thank you for providing the detailed link for further info; much appreciated!
Hugs (づ￣ ³￣)づ
lol, hot take here, dude's an asshole and i still like him <3 tho im so sorry sangwoo, you have to deal with this asshole and his subtle manipulations. damn wearing green instead of red and then being just a little more tolerable to change how sangwoo sees him. damn, he really thought of everything, that dumbass (￣皿￣)
lol! that good-looking virus is just too good it keeps on mutating
soon enough sangwoo's resistance will be broken down by this new strain of jang jaeyoung that's stronger than ever
Oh god, I ADORE THIS. Forreal, the plot, the story-line rules above everything else and the BL is second to it!! AHHH!!! As much as I love BL and stories that only focus on the romance, I really appreciate stories like this where the romance comes second or is even an afterthought! The BL is a big bonus, I was a fantasy whore before becoming entrenched in BL.
Yessssss
aww, yall judging it too fast, it's only the first chapter! i would like it better too tho if it focused more on the comedy bit.
ooh, i got a manga to recommend for all yall interested in theater and acting!! it's not tagged as a bl or even shounen ai but it's josei so it's pretty close lol. it's called bloom onstage! aka butai ni sake! It's a really freaking awesome one and the MC is so relatable!! And the chemistry with the other male character is just!!! (≧∀≦)
edit: just looked at the page here and apparently it IS tagged as shounen ai, so i guess there's that? yay??
i dunno about all the other commenters but I'm really enjoying this especially with the ch 9 and 10 updates! we're getting a bit more context and insight as to their relationship before and now I can totally see them getting together! our uke here seems to be struggling with his self worth and being compared to the seme all the time must have turned the insecurity to resentment.
ohh, I see such great potential in their future!!! our uke seems to have rejected the seme because
1) he hated always feeling so worthless whenever the seme was around
2) the seme is the whole package; smart, handsome, coming from a good family, etc etc it's no wonder he'd feel put off by him all of a sudden confessing his wuv for him
god, I cant wait for the seme to help him be more confident and realize that hell yes, he's smart AND a catch. and that the only person who needs to realize that is himself. not his teachers, not his classmates. not his parents, or anyone else. imposter syndrome is a right bitch! （￣Д￣）
Yea they coulda handled the topic way better but if one looks at this manga as a nice little story of a dude falling in love instead of a manga to educate people on all the different sexualities/romantic attractions there are, it was great! I do wish that they could have outright said that he was pan/demi (I personally don't think he's bi seeing as he made sure to point out several times that guys didn't do it for him, only MIN did). But forreal, this really stood out to me cuz it handled so many issues the RIGHT WAY!!
First off, [SPOILER ALERT OBV] the issue of rape was handled pretty well in my humble opinion. I swear when Kye-Sang told his friends that he didn't want Min to be seen as a dude who's been banged by a guy instead of the obvious rape victim (at the time) that he was, my heart did a whole somersault. And don't get me started on his well-meaning but ignorant friend!! I really really like how they shed light on how it is for closeted people and how seriously it affects their lives and mental health. Kye-Sang really is the outlier for not giving too much of a fuck and I'm so glad the manga made that distinction.
Overall, putting aside the flaws everyone's pointed out, I'd give this a solid 8.5/10. Really woulda been at least a 9.5/10 if it weren't for how they handled the whole sexuality thing + the rushed ending but everything else was pretty damn good. So if you're hesitant to read, I'd say give it a go! You can drop it anytime you feel iffy bout it.
bro, are u kidding me? these manga artists be out here giving me what i want like, wow, first the two dragon mangas and now this???? bro they really be out here catering to monsterfuckers (or as i prefer to say, monsterlovers)
goddamn, like wolfman is so hot and this is so pure and my heart is already breaking hahahaha
Lmao everyone getting second male lead syndrome I've been thirsting over Big Boss and Cutie Minhyeok since the first chapter lmaoo. The Hyung had a nice body but I wasn't into him and now I definitely am not. He's not that much of a catch lmao. Our baby uke can do better. He needs a stronger man who won't abuse him like that. Also, I really really love Minhyeok I want more of him and it seems like he's already simpin over Suyeong. Nice.
Well turns out Minhyeok personality gets worse according to others who read the raws but in his line of work I don't expect less. I never liked Hyung either from the beginning cause he looked like he was forcing the uke before we found things out plus his body reminds me of rocks (￣∇￣")
Yes, our uke needs a real man! <3 (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Big Boss is hugely hot, but I don't want him with a murderer/criminal. I'd like for him to have a peaceful, good life after all he suffered. Still, I'd prefer he be with mafia ML than the abuser/user/gaslighter. At least manly mafia man can protect him, and that's better than nothing.
I just have a hard time getting past the crime element. Criminals suck.
Ugh sucks that he gets worse but I still can't help but hope that he'll be nice to our uke. He really does need someone to be good to him after everything. :(
I agree! Still looks like that's the route we'll be taking. I just need someone to be good to our Suyeong!!
He has suffered enough. The suffering MUST END.
OwO what's this?? Another man interested in our MC??? And he's the prime minister??? Hmm...a strange but fascinating developement. Also wow, yea, a corporate slave indeed. He's so damn hardworking it's crazy. Ugh there's gonna be so much conflict and opposition and it's gonna be so frustrating but I'm all in for it!!!
