Y’all are being mean to Melissa because she doesn’t understand Nine’s feelings but how is she supposed to know? Why would her first instinct be “oh he likes me” rather than “oh he thinks I can’t do it”. Like she knows she is the villain and she took him in when he was in a vulnerable position. Literally it was only after he got his powers back that he started being so defiant to her so it’s not far off to believe that he thinks she needs protecting instead of him being in love with her ya know?
It's not about "oh he likes me" or "oh he thinks he can't do it"
Her instructor also told her "Begin strong doesn't mean you can act reckless" he legit saw mellissa almost died infront of him. Put yourself in his shoe. He isn't looking down on her just bc of she's woman. Or bc he awakened his power. He's not immortal either. He's worried bc of her recklessness as friend he cares it's not love we're talking about. There are possibilities she's putting herself in danger when she and we know how cunning peacock is. Ofc yuri is reliable but poison isn't a joke. Anybody will freaked out if they hear their close people about to drink poison.
Mellissa is slow reckless and dense and as her friend Nine has right to get angry.
The last sentence was the only thing that related to what I said haha. I’m not slandering or questioning Nine I just said it’s hard to be mad at Melissa for not knowing his feelings when he’s never said anything. Melissa isn’t from that world and she thinks that no matter what happens it doesn’t really matter like it’s just a game. Hope that made sense
I know y’all like nine but damn if he isn’t annoying now. Motherfucker gets his powers back and doesn’t know how to act.
His behavior is totally understandable, if a person you love (mother, sibling, best friend, partner) is putting themselves in a situation they might die, its only natural you will worry. Especially since nine doesnt have anyone other than Melissa, Nine’s behavior is understandable but he looks at Melissa like a fragile figurine which she isnt, He isnt annoying or anything. You can say that because of the reassurance that Melissa will not die. But Nine doesnt know that
Man why do they have to keep being so mean to each other?
Lmaoo. And you would be nice to a person who literally tortured, humiliated and abused u? Idk if u ship them, but people need to stop doing it. ML is beyond redemption and he’s nothing but a toxic trash. MC is stil WAY too nice to him. I wish he would actually make him regret it. Does he have a Stockholm Syndrome already? That he still has a “soft spot” for his abuser? I hope he just kills him or smth
I was going to drop it, but then someone said Yu will stand up for himself and make seme suffer, which is why I stayed and what I’m still hoping for. Also doesn’t change the fact that you are expecting them to be all Gucci and nice when dude literally got tortured, abused and maybe raped (I don’t remember). Which is a pretty messed up mindset and a reason why I stopped reading BL, especially Yaoi. (I just read what I’ve already started). I know it’s fiction but tht doesn’t change the fact it’s wrong. Especially when A LOT of fans treat real life gay relationships like that as well (because of stories like this), not saying you do tho
I don’t care if they end up together as long as seme actually realistically suffers and has regret trip and actually changes and Yu does to him what he did. Toxic relationships stories can be good as long as they are at least a bit realistic, which means that they don’t forgive each other just like that. Example of story that was made well like that is BJ Alex.
I mean I still don’t like the dude but the indifference and being fed up and ignoring the dude was realistic. And it had a regret trip, actually recognizing mistakes (also sexual harassment was seen as bad and not normal or good tho people still sexualize it, but story didn’t exactly). It was way more realistic then more stories cause uke actually act as if seme meant nothing to him, he was indifferent even durning sex and stuff (and here uke still seems affected) THATS why I think it’s more realistic. It had that necessary drama and emotions and not like oh I forgive u cause u a little nice to me
Oh wow that “I forgive u cause u a little nice to me” i love this HAHAHA. Honestly this would sum up the solution for every “relationship” in bl with an asshole seme.
Realistic wise, that happened in bj alex is good but i was hoping that dongyeon should have more time “moving on” before alex comes to him because it could have given dongyeon more time to heal or move on.
This could have been a great opportunity to test Alex. That could have been his “redemption arc” wherein the person(alex) can be shown struggling to prove himself or yearn for the other(dongyeon). But yeah.
If you can’t understand what i have written, don’t worry I can’t even understand it. My thoughts are just sooo messy.
Oh and I forgot their names sooo please forgive me.
I totally agree! I understand as well, I only gave it as an example cause it’s the most realistic from ones I’ve read so far. I overall stopped reading Yaoi because of how much of pushovers they made ukes, like dude literally rapes them and abuses them but they are like “at least I have his attention” and people ship that shots I stopped reading cause of stories and especially fans, normalizing, sexualizing and romanticizing relationships like that is not okay, it’s disgusting. Fiction or not. Also I still don’t like Jiwon (BJ Alex seme, like he got better but I can’t forgive him the sexual harassment he did twice cause of his jealousy (also he never apologized)). Worst stories there are tht are also actually the most popular and most messed up with most delusional fans is Yours to Claim and Painter of the Night. I cannot describe how much hate I hold for these stories.
I don’t want this art style back
