i like the story, it's cute and i dint mind the age gap at all, but i bet this will get less complaints if their age is reversed. i mean, I've been in this field for so long and this is what i always observe, e.g., hs student seme x teacher uke doesn't get much complaints or nothing at all unlike hs student uke x teacher seme
Both dynamics are problematic either way, but it's important to note the nuances of these tropes.
Usually, with Older Top, they are actively predating on the Younger Bottom, and using their position of power (whether age or hierarchal position) as a manipulative tool – things like "I can teach you ...", "You will learn ...", Etc are examples of this.
In tropes where the bottom is the older one, their societal position is often more so seen as an obstacle – "we can't do this because... ", "It's not right for me to ...", Etc – thus these "barriers" are used as something the Younger Top must "break down".
There is also something to be said that it feels more real that a student would be preyed upon by a teacher (we see this all the time, unfortunately), than a scenario where a student is successfully courting an older teacher.
That's why the second dynamic is often more accepted, because the dynamic doesn't present the power imbalance, grooming, and predatory behaviour as clearly as the first example. Whilst it's wrong either way, it's understandable why the latter would be easier to palate, I suppose.
Yes, of course! I wasn't implying that one was better than the other, by any means, because both are inherently... You know, morally deranged and illegal. More so that there's likely reasons for why it could be perceived that one dynamic is more accepted than the other :)!
Mind you, I haven't actually read this story because the comments turned me off, but this topic fascinates me, lmao
they get together again in 2 chaps, they have heavily implied sex, they're enthusiastic abt uke presenting as alpha or sumn (idk, em not fluent in korean) but uke's reluctant and having doubts. and lo-and-behold, it's what everybody expected, uke is an omega. uke felt insecure because he's teased as an omega and now he really is one. he's also concerned cos seme dislike omegas. seme texted concern messages to uke and asked if he's an alpha which made uke not want to tell him even more. uke told seme that he suddenly decides to go with his mom with his heart disease as an excuse, leaving seme hanging and without telling him abt his gendah. end of season 1 (i think)
silver hair from dragon, tanned skin from wolf, elven ears from elf, brown eyes from dragon slayer, none from uke (lol he gave birth to baby but doesn't have any similar trait/ features )
Maybe the baby might have inherited the uke's character/ personality
hopefully that's the case... idk abt now or in the future, but as I've seen in the raws, we will never meet the baby again lol
What?! No baby?
Then what's the point of the side story?
there was a baby for like, few panels lol
banging life? xD afaik it's already completed but im not sure that's why i said "idk abt now or in the future"
my last reply was supposedly a reply to this ಥ‿ಥ**
