wait but if reverse guiding is the esper giving the energy to the guide instead of getting it, then how was ml getting all refreshed and stuff after being with mc?
I dun rlly knoww and haven't read spoilers so these r just guesses,,
1. Sucking bad energy,, this is the only logical conclusion I can make up if we believe what ml says, since he brought up reverse guiding it's possible howoo is sucking residual bad energy instead of giving the esper his calming soothing energy but again, a very crazy reach
2. Lied. In a flashback we see that mls powers were uncontrollable to a point in his childhood that probably awakened his guiding ability due to shock? Of mls powers and they bonded,,, maybe i read the past chapters wrong but I don't think u can bond with a normal person? And ml implied they bonded before they met so he possibly awoke prematurely and was unable to use guiding bc ml blocked his powers by the bond so he won't guide anyone except him
3. Lied again. Maybe he did awaken recently, maybe he did bond as an adult, maybe he was a new esper but what if he lied Abt "reverse guiding" in general? What if he wasn't a reverse guide to begin with? It actually strengthens the idea that if he was lying Abt him being a reverse guide then it makes more sense Abt the bond,, this is starting to make less sense so what I'm saying is what if he lied Abt hoowwoo being a reverse guide and is actually a normal guide but can't guide anyone else bc he's already bonded to ml?? Woahhh
HELP I DIDNT THINK THE AUTHOR WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE INCEST PART??? got me fucked uppp bls usually dont even acknowledge it, or consider it "ok" bc theyre not related (in this case) so it caught me so off guard
yall i KNOW its not incest i mentioned it in my comment lmao, my point is that in the real world, theoretically, in reaction to, whatever, it kinda is weird and probably would be referred to as "incest", emphasis on the quotations. generally, fiction never really acknowledges it in this context because it Technically isnt and it also is, you know fiction. which is why i was so shocked.. almost like it broke the fourth wall or something lmao
I also think it depends WHEN they were raised together. Like if one was adopted at 15 and the other was 16, they obviously aren’t going to feel like siblings. But if one was adopted at 0 and the other was 1, then I don’t think it should feel any different than a blood sibling (depending on how the parents treated them both and didn’t outcast one, ofc). Ya know? Lol
its such a fine line to tread on and i think its so gross when people try to defend and say 'they aren't related by blood' because thats fr the same excuse all porn uses to make incest porn lol
like honestly im more mad if some defends themselves saying 'its not incest if they aren't related by blood!' than saying they're fr into incest because bffr having a familial relationship doesnt just involve blood it involves your relationship dynamic as well. If you see each other as siblings and you were raised like that you are siblings!!
i mean they refer to eachother as siblings but it doesn't rlly seem like they actually see each other that way. plus dojun mentioned that it took him a while to start calling his adoptive mom 'mom' and not 'auntie' so he probably didn't consider himself a part of their family at first either. also i call one of my friends my sibling sometimes (since apparently we bicker like siblings???) but i don't see them as family in that way. not to mention family doesn't have one definition lol a lot of my friends are like family to me but not the way my parents / grandparents
/ aunts / uncles / cousins are.
tl;dr why do you want this to be incest so bad
i know they'll eventually end up together and the mc will fall in love with him but his whole monologue got me so fucking mad bc what do u mean "im lost, i tried this and that i worked my ass off boohoo what do i do to make you like me".....???? no matter how you much you try, you cant MAKE someone love you like believe me i do love me a toxic or dumb ml every once in a while but that whole thing was like the manhwa wanted to make him seem so sadly pitiful when rlly he just sounded mad stupid LMAO
Sounded to me like he has untreated BPD, it could be that I'm projecting but I understand the desperation he has. The love is real, the approach is not and he can't understand that yet at this point of time.
I've been that person before my diagnosis so I don't think It's fair to say it sounded stupid, he was pitiable there because you can tell he doesn't actually know how to process his intense feelings normally and is feeling desperate.
It's good the bottom put his foot down so now the top has to learn his approach is not okay nor healthy.
I'm hoping to see the Top get some character development, learn express his love "normally" but we'll see as that's something that can take years to learn.
damn i have bpd too and didnt think of it like that its never gotten to that point with me in my actions (definitely mentally!) but i think its definitely different for everyone and i see what ur saying! its interesting looking at it from that perspective.
i will say though, i think my comment was coming from a place of frustration that the author is making it seem as if the mc is wrong for what he said and cutting him off by making the ml look all sad and pitiable. it IS pitiful and mc IS right for it, but ive seen one too many bls use this trope and make the mc out to be the bad guy for not loving the ml back. like ml will suddenly ignore him and mc will start begging for the attention back, or something will happen to ml and mc will be all "i was wrong !!" but hopefully the author handles this well
man i cant even be mad ab the author making shit ass tops like she clearly knows what shes doing im never gonna like it but im satisfied at least that she acknowledges it and will be making the groveliest groveling arc to ever grovel
I just hope my expectations aren't too high because I want to see Jaekyung truly suffer for it to be a true redemption. I also want to see Dan in a happy relationship to see experience the proper way to be treated. If the author lets Dan take Jaekyung back with a bs apology and begging I'll be annoyed.
lowkey atp ive become attached to and absorbed in this story and these characters like idk if ill be able to enjoy it when we go back to the present LMAO does anyone else see the mc and this guy as different people?? like idk if i can imagine the ml seeing them as the same person and loving the mc as his og lover... but maybe its just me
nahhh i agree with you. it's like brian and ian are so different in terms of their upbringings, experiences with mana, and just their personalities. it's so hard to see them as one person . but knowing sol loves them both is really nice
they totally are different people.
yess ian and brian's personalities are so different!
i knoww i love that ab him! but if i was ian i would feel like he doesnt rlly love ME yk? like hes just seeing brian in him as a replacement. i think id be fine with it if he recovers his memories and its confirmed that his soul/spirit IS brian..
Man I don’t think I’d be fine with it. It’s like with Inuyasha. Kikyo and kagome(the reincarnation of Kikyo) were the same genes, soul, spirit, but still different people. I will be devastated. I hope Ian stays Ian because even if he gets Brian’s memories he’s not really Brian. The man lived 1000 years ago.
Also I think it was confirmed that they are the same. He really is his reincarnation. Reincarnation love stories take a toll on me. I have so much angst with them
ohhh i see no i get it now.. i think im considering that bc seeing how much love sol had for brian, it just doesnt feel right..? almost as if hes just fallen for another person even if theyre the "same", and i get that thats how most reincarnation stories go and thats the point, but i think thats why i was never a big fan of them.. to me it just feels like a second love, especially after seeing how infatuated and head over heels they are for the og
That’s true. I guess it depends on wether you root more for OG or reincarnation. I can see how awful it would be for them to fall in love with another person (especially after Sol has waited for Brian for a millennium)
