Y’all are acting like y’all have never got into an argument with someone you love, bottled shit in, or assumed someone’s feelings about you because of your own feelings. With friends, family, parents, partners? Really??? They’re like 20 years old, freshly out of high school, living together, going in different career paths, making non-mutual friendships, Mitsuki’s unc dipped, and y’all think a fight WOULDN’T EVER happen??? Y’all own married, old-ass parents bicker with each other lmaooo.
“DOOMED YURI.” “DOOMED YURI.” Not every Yuri has to be a doomed Yuri, but y’all LOVE cultivating this depressed circle-jerk of negativity by wallowing in this idea that fictional wlw relationships will never have a happy ending.
I love how the characters aren't extremely cliche, tired tropes. They seem "opposite" but really aren't and have lots of chemistry. It's femxfem, and even though one seems more sexual judging exterior alone, there's way more nuance in terms of their sexuality. It's nice to see fleshed-out characters that actually feel like human beings. Blonde Jin-ah explains that her attraction to black-haired Jin-ah is so relatable. Shit grades, average body, hot temper, is a little perverted, and is even a little prejudiced towards lesbians, but you still like them in spite of, and strangely, because of those things.
Also the fingering is great and all but I want to see more scissoring, bean flicking, and eating.
I feel like y’all are forgetting that Sangwoo is only 19 years old. This is his first relationship. It’s a gay relationship. He also has autism and a compulsive disorder. Jaeyoung has way more experience and never taught him to compromise or look at things from another angle BECAUSE that’s what he liked about him. He’s a hyung that bends to the will of his partner, reinforcing toxic relationship dynamics. His strict methods have always worked in terms of education and physical health, not realizing that humans (in the context of maintaining a relationship) are way more complex than that and require sacrifices. Sangwoo doesn’t think he’s even being selfish. He thinks he’s being rational by prioritizing his studies as the only thing he’s been good at his entire life (and Jaeyoung is just an unforeseen variable) and he tries to make Jaeyoung do the same things to increase his quality of life. Before Sangwoo met Jaeyoung, his future plans were to marry a woman he wasn’t even sexually or romantically attracted to simply for the sake of having children because of social expectations and biology. Homosexuality completely erases all of that “logic” that he’s accepted as truth the entire time. And I think that’s a big step in and of itself for a 19 year-old autistic boy with OCD. If Jaeyoung lets this behavior remain uncorrected just to appease Sangwoo (KNOWING that Sangwoo fails to understand nuances) then who’s really to blame? And sometimes humans go forwards and backwards in relationship progression BECAUSE relationships aren’t linear and we often make the same mistakes. I think people need to give Sangwoo some grace.
