I am weirded out too
I see what you mean, but Abel knows Karas as Captain Commander for majority of the story? Grooming normally includes manipulation of a child. Is this scenario I feel like it’s closer to falling in love with your caretaker. Which is less worse than grooming. It’s still weird, I don’t think it’s grooming. Feel free to change my mind though? I love hearing perspectives.
Yeah I think it's icky bc it's unexamined and uncritical Oedipus complex stuff, but I didn't get a grooming vibe
Y'all need to learn the proper meaning of the word grooming in this context
Yeah I used it wrong in this context, I was tired lol
Dont get me wrong, this can appear kinda weird for many but what "kinda" worked for me is that for the whole time the bulky-turned twink dude at first had this image of this young boy he helped in his first life, while also being right next to the adult version of him without knowing. So for what ever feelings he had for him(which is a semi crush at this point in time), was him not realizing it's the kid he knew in the past. Theres also a short arc with him slowly coming and accepting the realization that he isn't a kid anymore, but a man now. And ofc, the adult version is obsessed once he realized it's the man he was close with cause he was the only one who showed him kindness. I can understand if that still is crossing the line for some people, but in some way they're trying to make it work (do I think they could've done it better? Yeah sure)
The potato bulky dude raised the prince when he was a lil kid, fell asleep for a while, woke up in a twink body, after the prince became an adult. But his mind stays the same, so I don't get how this isn't weird for yall?? （/TДT)/
