anxiety's manga / #Beautiful Art(347)

theo develops a complex for nick because their father only pays attention to nick and labels theo as never good enough; and theo believes that if he becomes like nick his father will love him too. when he meets nick's ex louis, theo is intrigued about the person he was. louis, heartbroken that their 7 yr relationship ended so easily on nicks terms, lies and tells theo he was the one who broke things off. theo is interested to know more and the two get involved physically. its theos first and hes hooked but he also seems to have his reasons ('i think i know why nick wanted to be with you') my personal opinion is that its how validating and loving louis is in contrast to their father. in fact, nick really did love louis, but broke it off because of his fathers conditions (theos fucked so you gotta be a perfect son - and obvi for father homosexuality is a no no) really well-written and self-aware character; the emotional depth is refreshing and im excited to see how this tense triangle unfolds!

OK this story is LEGITIMATELY well-developed and realistic. anh catches feelings pretty easily and we get to see how kang him realizes that he misjudged anh, and begins to develop feelings for him. even the misunderstanding between them was realistic!!! nothing over the top, settled maturely, and their sex is great and the COMEDY IS GREAT lol

power bottom to end them all. it's his world and we're all just living it in.
