So like.... where can one find that body pillow. Help a sis out Jiah. (;;;・_・)
I still don't get why they made the ending title Stockholm Syndrome when the Geonwoo was never really a nice kidnapper to Jaekyung, like bro had him subjected to literally emotional and physical torture. But alas, a story is a story and I will still enjoy it.
Stockholm Syndrome happens whether the kidnapper was abusive or not bro
That would make sense but there's no part of the story that Jaekyung felt sorry towards his kidnapper nor even felt an ounce of sympathy towards him. He was just experiencing anger and fear towards Geonwoo, the ending is more so Mind Break than Stockholm Syndrome imo.
Take it as this is more about breaking his mind to submission
This picture on the screen got me blushing istg...bro I'm so down bad for both of them but Mincheol is the bigger cake
Deleted? I'm sorry, DELETED??? So does that mean my guy is a program in the game?? Is he AI that grew human emotions??? Did Bada make him grow emotions ??? This story is so wild bro , can't wait when I reread this in the future and see the foreshadowing bc the writing and art are delectable
Okay but... So the ending is much less Stockholm Syndrome and more on Mindbreak tbh....like Stockholm Syndrome is where you go around telling people that "nooo my captor was actually so nice to us, can't you reduce his sentence at least (｡•︿•｡)". Like idk why authors call it Stockholm Syndrome when it quite literally is Mindbreak.
It’s called Stockholm syndrome because of a similar thing that happened in real like, a lady was kidnapped and held by her abuser until she fell in love with him. This happened in a place called Stockholm hence the name.Stockholm syndrome as a concept existed before the term mind break and is more popular in the urban dictionary. People are more likely to understand what you mean when you say Stockholm so authors use the term more.
TLDR: more people know what stockholm means, hope this helps(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
(●￣(ｴ)￣●). Unnecessary lecture time
“A lady held by abuser until she fell in love with him” That’s the mythologized version, what happened in Stockholm and the situation that coined the term -was a robbery with multiple hostages, and the hostages felt sympathy for the robber. And because society wants us to hate poor people, society scandalized the feelings of solidarity of the hostages to the robber. The robber’s name was
Jan-Erik Olsson
Society, the news and the FBI(lol) would rather blame a made up syndrome than actually consider the fact that maybe human desperation is something to be sympathetic towards.
“No our captor is a nice guy, who made a desperate choice because of society and me the hostage- the supposed the wronged individual genuinely hate that society is going to punish him further on my behalf.” So that’s what Stockholm syndrome was trying to define.
So in modern and fairer assessments and studies of Stockholm syndrome, is that it’s not real, simply put humans are meant to have emotional attachment to each other, it’s not strange to have feelings towards “abusers”, we are nuanced and capable of hypocrisy., abusers are just people who haven’t broken out of their own inherited cycles of violence.
Overall I just find it funny that this term is still being used within it context.
So I think mind break (the genre/trope) does make more sense as a descriptor for what folks often mislabeled as Stockholm syndrome. Closest real life alternative would be grooming, and fawning behaviour responses that are learned from violent environments. If you know another term, let me know I guess lol

All good, I probably needed a refresher on Stockholm syndrome for a while:D
It’s interesting how the language people use reflects more on the public perception of a situation rather than the truth behind it (lord have mercy on the alpha males lol).
Thanks for the lecture, I found your research very informative, and here’s to hoping that future stories drift toward the term mind-break :D (serious/friendly)
I love himbos so much, this story is just...himbo heaven. Like your Highness is so silly and dumb in an endearing way. This story is so good man.
The detailed x-ray was just *chef's kiss*. The art is so amazing hot dam.
Also I wonder where his "womb" is supposed to be at as an omega, I wanna see this author's version of where the womb is tbh.
So like...is jaekyung's muscles consistently hard bc of his diet or...are like....do his chest go soft too sometimes
I sense....the 4some is gonna be a side story AU. (｡•︿•｡)
Like all this edging with the three Alphas when it's clear who the author is pushing the relationship with....
deffo
Does Ijin bring his homework in his bag and answer them before or after his missions? How does his school absences work, like do these missions always land on a weekend starting from friday night to Monday morning? How are his grades actually?
If there's a chance of the story having a school sports day event, will he be playing the ball sports or the e-games?
Anybody answer these questions please, I wanna hear someone else's thoughts on this. ┐( ∵ )┌
U r not alone on this lol. Sometimes I also feel like the authors forgot that Jin is a student who’s trying to live a normal life.
lol you’re asking the real questions it’s gonna be funny if we see him fail and repeat a year just bc of his absences tho
