In the original legends cited in Egyptian mythology, Seth has always been considered Osiris' evil brother. The scene where Seth attempts to rape Horus is partially true— Seth indeed seduces Horus with the intentions of humiliating him but Horus tricks Seth, catches his semen, and humiliates Seth— and the basic backbone of this story aligns with Egyptian mythology. The twist comes in Seth's story. This author took a common legend and transformed it into an unbelievable tale of perspective and deception, blurring the lines of good and evil; that, on it's own, is amazing and should be recognized.
NOOOO I WANT MOREEE I have to wait so that I can binge this but each time, I can't resist reading a chapter.
This was either really good or really bad and I can't tell
If someone tried to push off my confession like that, I would have been pissed too — saying no is fine, but he didn't even say no lol. It's like he is trying to ignore that it even happened or that they kiss was representative of Tess' true feelings.
THE AHJUICY TEAM'S MEMES ARE AMAZING . Now we have a secret way to identify readers of this yaoi though, the hahe inside joke.
I relate to the uke so much because I'm in a similar position. If my rank dropped to 12th, I'd vomit in the bathroom too, especially knowing that the reason for this was because I was tutoring someone who was already ranked first. Accepting the seme's money isn't a matter of pride, it's for security. If the uke takes the seme's money, do you really think the seme will treat him well? He'll use it against him for the rest of his life. He will use it as blackmail, leverage, to get the uke to do what he wants regardless of his feelings. The uke NEEDS to rely on himself to prevent this. I'm not blaming the seme for this situation because it should have been the uke to push him off before all of this, but the seme would have forced his way in nonetheless. For people like us, grades really are everything. . .
same, i can relate to the uke. I really cannot accept other people's money when i have to become independent. And out of all from the seme, who is usually possesive?!? i totally understand the uke.
True, but he still hurt the seme and honestly they both could deal with it in another way- but hey if you use logic the manga would probably be only 20 chapters long so commence the drama ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Thats why i like it, boths sides are on the right and on the wrong with varying degrees on it. Good writing, now if only they didnt skip the sex...
Hahahaha where dah smut!!
My thing about him not taking assistance from Suengeon is that his only option then is to get financial aid from someone he doesn’t know like a loan shark or the blond dude. At least he knows Suengeon cares for him and continuing his education and is less likely to do anything REALLY bad to him. I think we can all agree that won’t be the case with a loan shark or the blond dude
His option is to do well in school and maintain his scholarship. That's what I do, I work on the side as well.
Wait did he not lose the scholarship? I thought he lost it which is why he’s freaking out because now he has to pay to keep attending? I also thought his school has a strict no working policy? Σ( ￣□￣||) did I totally misunderstand the situation?
Not only does Egyptian mythology frequently contain incest, but so do many many other countries and cultures within the world. If all gods come from one god, of course they are bound to be related. This is not uncommon and the characters are not regular human beings— therefore, this should not be viewed in the same manner. I find it hilarious when I see people complaining about the incest. The author has an accurate family tree, it isn't like they just threw siblings together and made them fuck for the fun of it, nor is the purpose of this work to condone incest. In many folktales, Horus even made Isis (his mother) his consort.
In addition to that, rape isn't something the author whipped out of nowhere. In original Egyptian legends, Seth does indeed seduce Horus with the intentions of raping and humiliating him. Things don't work out his way and the tables turn, Seth ends up humiliated even though he isn't raped. In some stories, Seth rapes Isis. The difference between this comic and actual Egyptian mythology is the twist on Seth— who has always been portrayed as a villain— and on Osiris— who was always the hero (though there are many other changes, this is the most significant). The author took one of the most well known, important Egyptian stories, and completely changed its dynamic by erasing the line between good and evil.
I think it’s a brilliant twist and it’s also similar to WEBTOON lore Olympus where Hera isn’t portrayed as the bitter, jealous old hag that kills and tortures her husband’s illegitimate kids and side pieces for fun but a victim of her husband’s infidelity, i really enjoy these kinds of twist because it kinda humanises and rationalises the actions of characters that the folklore taught us to hate, I really love Seth’s characters, personality and design in this story and can someone pls recommend similar stories for me pretty pls
I agree, and I think the reason is that people are viewing the incest in this story with the same lens they view incest in other BLs, in that it is seen as “hot” or a fetish used by the author. Of course, people have a right to be disgusted or turned away from a story that contains incest or is trying to portray such a relationship as okay (I don’t like it either), but mojito isn’t doing that. She is telling her interpretation of gods who have thousands of years of history behind them, and that includes the incest the ancient Egyptians engaged in and believed their gods did as well. She is NOT using it as shock value, or because it is hot, but staying accurate to the historical relationships of the gods while putting a spin on the tales/how the gods feel about each other. I wish more people would get the distinction between that.
I was reading description for Seth and he was described in some occasions a red haired beast. Even his red hair is authentic wow
┗( T﹏T )┛This! Beautifully said!
I highly agree. Everything you said was eloquently conveyed and I feel like must be pounded into every readers head who only sees the incest, unconsent, abuse and doesn't see either the story, the way it wasn't in any way romanticized or condoned without consequences, or the accuracy to actual Egyptian mythology as well as actual appreciation for it.
