WHY AM I GENUINELY SEEING HATE ON JOSHUA BAILEY MY MAMA. So what if the writing isn’t the most perfect. Nowadays ppl js be criticizing anythin we can’t enjoy things no mo. And then the shade on twink ukes, like its bad when writers infantilize their ukes but in general whats wrong with a feminine and dependent uke? Yall.
I don’t think that this story is ass as most people say it is, but I think it’s just the fact that it’s been crunched down into 7 chapters that the writing isn’t showing as well as it could have. I think this story wanted to be told in a long form and that’s why it’s kind of awkward to read.
Looking past that, I really love this story and I wish it was longer so I can see these two grow!!









icl some ppl be so locked in on the fact that ohh why make mc so weak blaahh guys u can be strong n still get assaulted. the problem isn’t that he’s being portrayed as weak atp, its the fact that the author yet again uses the as some sort of “oh the male lead is so great!!” side eye. I’m ok w damsel in distress but why does it always have to be some throwaway scene every time oughhhggggg
Like yeah,every time in BL they do this. Like if there is a villain, he will rape him. If there is a side character, if you want to show that ML is a good character, make the other character rape him so that ML will outshine. Wow. And then even if that happens, they still add a rape scene between ML and MC so that he can show his possessiveness. Wow. Like they treat rape as something a plot device nowadays.
Probably because rape happens more often than we think but somehow in bls they find a way to make it piss us off
In this case though it makes sense since he’s abusing his power and that is something historically accurate but i think the artist portrayed it poorly
Like i’f you’re going to include a rape scene don’t try to make explicit or sexualize it , plus what is it exactly that the mc took? A pralayzing drug or arousing ? Why’s he flushing and squirming
Imo could’ve at least made him turn blue and pale or sth
Idk tho , the chapter made my heart sink because making it explicit made me think “ oh i can’t imagine how horrible this must’ve felt for the mc “
I’m a fan of subtle portrayal tho
And cmon he’s the love interest of the king ofc the king will abuse his power
Yappa yappa yappa
NO exactly, like idk why the fuck there was hearts and shit when this is rape? It could do to set the scene more darker and shit like why tf we sexualizing rape bro? Genuinely made me so uncomfy reading ts
