If its any help, id like to stress the detail mentioned in this series abt gods being their own independent beings unrelated by blood to anyone. Like even if a god is born out of another, they arent related. Relationships are valid in case of mortals and ra made a commentary about this as well when she stated its only our ennead siblings who defied norms and live/act like family members and no other god does that. Like theyre all physical manifestations of abstract things like love, wisdom, rage etc or elements of nature like sand water or earth so like the concept of being "family" doesnt really hold up once they ascend
Does make sense, and I did hear that in the manhwa's context, the gods don't align themselves with morals regarding incest and such. But, it feels like the author does deliberately interject the incest themes especially when Horus refers Seth as his uncle, solitarily in sexual scenes where it is abused lmao. Though, it's a minor thing but personally, I've been having challenges viewing their relationship as something beyond their filial ties thx for the explanation anyhow
I totallyyyy get uuuuu and it was unnerving at first for me too back when I started ennead but then after I started seeing them as physical forms of elements i was able to get past it. And about the uncle thing lmao I simply turn my brain off and like to pretend horus is being asian with his honorifics jshshshs. Hopefully we'll see him call seth more by his name than uncle in s3 esp if his past life memories come back.. its already started( i might be reading too much into this ) but when he tapped into the power of wadjet he had saw smth that suddenly made him drop the formal language he generally used with seth n called him by his name..if theories are right then he'd be the long lost younger brother n not nephew anymore
I meet you here again!
Honestly, I understand where you're coming from...like the author seems to be specifically hinting at incestuous paraphilia because of the constant mention of 'uncle' LOL
I still find the relationship between Horus and Seth really strange, like the whole underlying theme of incest, especially when Horus continuously refers to Seth as "uncle".. It makes shit so weird lmao, especially during the sexually intimate scenes but whatever ig? Aside from that, I love the art and the setting and how each character is so unique and multifaceted. It is quite difficult to full on hate them because they are all so complicit and oml I just can't. It's such a good story one of the best BLs I've read. I wish there was more drama tho but it's genuinely amazing
