Cleopatra's activites

WHO THE FUCK IS THIS NOW???

I don't understand something Alicia says to Oscar and then thinks to herself, if anyone who got it can enlighten me. The official chapter on Tappytoons says the same stuff so I don't get if it's a translation error.

When she asks why didn't he just force himself on Inez to test him by his response, she has what seems like a flashback? And she thinks to herself something like "he wouldn't have done what he did if he had loved her anyway" "no man would ever destroy a woman he loves like that".

I don't get if that scene is her memory (as in she was violated by oscar), a hypothesis she made, or her witnessing or knowing something else. At first I thought it was her imagining something, but it kinda looks more like a flashback, and her words don't make much sense. Or is she referring to the fact that he tried to kill Carcel? Doesn't she know Oscar's a psycho? I was thinking that there's a weird chance, she remembers their first life and remembers Inez's treatment..? Idk there's many possibilities and I can't tell if it's vague because of translation error or on purpose.

Oh my god this man is so delusional it's infuriating!! But from his comments about how her memory is "too good" I'm getting the feeling he as the heir has something to do with the time reversal every time she's died, and he definitely remembers something, if not everything from their previous lives. They basically are both pulling a long con separately from each other into the opposite goals during each life.

She's already faced this much desperation, if he thinks Inez is gonna act all cute and demure and accept her fate after all this shit he's deadly mistaken! Go off girl!!!

Also Alicia is basically the cookie cutter example of a woman tyrannized by a patriarchal society that decides to take her misfortune out on another woman. This man treats her like she's a piece of turd and she's acting as if she should be grateful. Girl wake up that man ain't shit...

...

Do you guys think maybe in her second life the crown prince manipulated her brother into killing her husband?

We know he was surprised she loathed him for it and that he's usually protective, even to the point of helping her potentially kill the Crown Prince in her first life despite how it'd cost him his life.

I am not buying he did a 180 and just found her being with a poor commoner gross or disgraceful and that was all it took. Just some thoughts..

Sachi and Yuka, friends from college, are housemates and partners. Yuka, who is free-spirited, and S...

seme was unexpectedly a real green flag I kept on getting surprised reading this lol
kinda cute tho the plot was like the side dishes to the smut's main dish lol curious what they'll do in a second season
Btw why is the father both looking real depressed AND extremely nice like it's not fairrrr especially when he gave that advice about finding someone who loves u damn that got me

oooof I am legit curious how someone ends up being that delusional

it's so interesting to me when a mangaka can create characters where you really feel the chemistry. Like you read BL and the plot is the best part or the art or the smut is the best part but it's rare for me that I overall just enjoy watching two people who I see as multidimensional characters and love to see them interact. Like these dudes are so fuckin wholesome I can't

For those not in the know, the webtoon went on hiatus because of a scandal involving the artist illustrating the story. Basically it was found out that they drew some pretty extreme shotacon (to my understanding, it involved toddlers, and some real kpop idols? Didnt want to fact check with that description tbh). The only way this would be continued was with a new artist. Obviously the old one was, morals aside, pretty technically skilled but this is the best you're gonna get and not gonna lie and say I am mad they dropped the previous one. Normally I don't care for scandals especially when it's about yaoi which is rife with problematic shit anyway but there is such a thing as too far lol

at first I was a bit annoyed at the "WE'RE TOGETHER AND LIVE TOGETHER FOR YEARS BUT LIKE NO HOMO" plot at the beginning but it was interesting how it was explored.

Also kinda really realistic? Like how basically Daichi didn't overly analyze his sexuality because he just kept on telling himself "it's just HIM, I'm not gay in general!", but then with time and seeing his behavior and his partner's shift and how much this relationship was a big part of his life and thus defined him, while being a secret to others, he started questioning who he was and what defined him. That can be pretty rough, especially in such a conformist society where sexuality and gender identity are not as talked about, and it is considered shameful to not fulfill your duty to your family to raise a hetero family and have biological children.

I know I had an identity crisis when I was younger and came to terms with my own queerness. There's so much you need to unpack.

I always find it interesting how queer relationships are a lot more complex and reflective in some ways than hetero ones. What I mean by that is that for many straight people, the ways one dates, falls in love, builds a relationship have been told to us through stories in thousands of ways. Most people have expectations of what that relationship is "supposed" to look like, and also there is this sense that their partner should fill in for things they lack. Like, women are more "nurturing" whereas men are meant to be "relied on", women do housework and men have ambitious careers, women are passive and men are assertive during sex, etc. These thankfully are most antiquated ideas stereotypes, but many people still get trapped by these ways of thinking, even in little ways. It's the culture we have been raised in afterall.
But queer relationships are more reflective. When you have two men or two women or one cis and one trans or nonbinary person or even multiple people dating each other, these stiff rules fall apart. A very common joke in sapphic circles is "do I want her or do I want to be her?", which is a very common and real feeling that I honestly don't think many people in straight relationships recognize! Because desire is very complicated and wrapped up with identity, and that comes out to the surface (more easily) in queer relationships.

Thinking more in these terms, I find the relationship depicted here more interesting. Daichi's obsession with being seen as "equal" instead of "the woman" (tho they fuckin calling him the wife in the end >_> lol). Idk lots of food for thought ^^

that was so anticlimatic. Now in 2024 it just feels like these two should have finished us off when they had the chance
Also I cant believe they made god a woman just to have the plot twist that the comedy relief guy transforms into a Chad God without the perm and like... saves her from herself??? Ugh... lame. Art was great though, ill say that much

honestly I wouldnt mind the effed plot in terms of it basically being porn with some "plot" sprinkled on top, but apart from the fact that the art's bad she basically has the mental age of a 12 year old, so it doesn't feel realistic that she'll mature one day or grow enough as a character, because her issue isn't just "being naive" but "purposefully kept mentally underdeveloped and uneducated" like bruh that's a whole nother level of yikes!

edit: also is it just me or did whoever draw the cover just fuck off afterwards thats some bait illustration work right there

lol at this point this is a slice of life where these guys encounter weird minor problems.
When I heard this guy say my boyfriend I immediately thought uh oh does this guy know he's your boyfriend tho... >__> Stalker subplot visible from a mile away.. hope this doesnt get weird

woooo a fight! Kind'a looking forward!
