This has been on my mind since I was 9, incest.
There's alot of things I just don't understand. Like how we as humans, beings that once didn't know how to cure a common cold created wifi, things like that but I can grasp the concepts around them, yk?
But incest?? Having sexual or romantic relations with a blood family member?? Just wtf?? I dont get it, not really and I've tried to understand it from every view, but there's just some things that I can't wrap my head around.
Maybe it's because I have siblings that I just can't imagine something like that but I don't have a father and I definitely have never thought about that man like that. There are many things that have eluded me in the few years I've been alive but nothing quite like incest.
I believe incest is something someone can only be into if the figure they imagine in the scenario isn't active in their life or maybe its from some type of trauma? People like to put every nasty thing they like on hypersexuality so maybe that's the answer? Im not sure.
Maybe it could be explained to me but even the thought of knowing someone, much less speaking to someone who's into it isn't something I want to do.
Anyways yap session over.
I am not talking about actual victims of incest, I am referring to people that get off to it and probably have never experienced anything like it.
For example there are plenty of people that will watch a piece of media with brothers in it and want to see them fucking each other, does that seem right to you?
The people I speak of see incest as something to get off to.
I'm supposed to be sleep rn but instead I was thinking about my favorite tropes (is that the word I'm looking for?) In the stuff I read so I made myself a list
1: Historical settings/ Not even just Korean even though I mostly read Manhwa, it's just something about the different society and the clothes that I love so much and most of the time if it's Historical and BL I know there's gonna be some messy shit happening
2: Office romance/ This is such a cliche and I understand why, it really never gets boring for me because there's so many different ways you can mix it up outside of the office. Plus, I just like seeing twinks in suits.
3: Omegaverse/ Now this would've been higher up but most of the times for me its hit or miss. Like what's the point if there's no baby in the end? Or worse the Alpha ain't shit, literally the quickest way to piss me off. But I do like how different the world building can be based off the author.
4: College/School setting/ I won't say that I haven't enjoyed any of it, it can be really good based on the overall plot but I feel like it can get repetitive at times. Like yknow, quiet kid x delinquent, top student x delinquent, childhood best friends, Rivals over grades, Rivals over sports- See where I'm going here? It's not often that something different happens, at least not in what I've read.
5: Guidverse/ Honestly it's always been just meh to me. Idk just never really liked it but I do like how they mix action (sometimes) with romance so it's definitely still something I like
Lmaoo I love yapping and I'm bored ashell, so might as well tell me ur rankings.
ooh, your ranking is so different from where I'd place things. I almost never read omegaverse or office romances. My list of favourite tropes would probably be this:
1. College/school settings : I get so nostalgic when I read coming of age stories. I agree that the plots can get repetitive, but im such a sucker for the shyness and clumsiness that comes with young love. I also only just graduated uni so I found the setting relatable.
2. Fantasy : Love me a fantasy. The world building is usually really interesting in these since they have to set up magic systems or kingdom politics. I feel like fantasy also has a lot of over powered power couples which I love to see.
3. Enemies to lovers : Love the tension and bantering between MCs and MLs who hate each other but for some reason have to be in each other's company. I find I lose interest if the couple falls for each other too easily and quickly into the story.
4. Entertainment industry : These are really hit or miss, but I love a top quality idol or actor bl. Probably because I like celebrities in general so it's fun to see the "behind the scenes" romances.
5. Survival : I love any type of survival show or game. Smart MCs are my favourite & the "games" are usually unique. These stories are pretty far and between though. I read a lot of unlimited flow danmei tho so thats usually where I get my fill.
Overall, interesting settings, power couples, and comedic undertones is what I usually gravitate towards.
Mine would me
1. College(honestly college and office compete for the top spot. Theyre pretty interchangeable to me)
2. Office
3. Omegaverse (This can change ranks depending on how well it's done)
4. Historical ( this story https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/joseon_sex_shop/ singlehandedly kept this above guideverse on the rank. It is so fucking good.
5. Guideverse (Honestly I dont dislike it but it takes a certain version of it for me to realllllyyyy like it. Maybe I just havent read enough
Please please please help me find this novel, my life is yours. I honestly don't remember that much but I'm just going to type everything I do remember.
Um, it's definitely a Chinese bl (set in like a fantasy ancient world). The MC is able to get pregnant and we know this because of a mole he has. He is mistreated by his aunt and uncle (not sure if they're biologically related) because their son is attracted to him and tried to force himself on him once, they also have a daughter.
To get rid of the MC they marry him off to a wealthy farmer? He wasn't a noble or anything but he had a decent amount of money. I don't remember much about him honestly but I think he has an evil stepmom or something? He takes care of the MC and doesn't let him do anything.
I'm pretty sure what I read it on got took down or something but I do know it was being translated by someone on that "buy me a coffee" site. Y'know, where you give them a dollar or something?
The cover of is mostly green and white from what I remember.
Pls help me, it means so much to me and I've literally been searching for it for a week....
Sounds like it's one of the "ger" trope novels, there are plenty with similar plot so maybe you can have a look on these lists and see if any of them is familiar?

I love you so much. Like actually. If I didn't spend my last 20 it would've been in your pockets already. I found it while scrolling in the second list "The farmers little husband".
And I did not realize this was a genre, which for some reason I'm very inlove with so when I'm done reading this one I'll be reading the other's in the list. Thank you so much and I promise you one day, as long as you're still active on this account I will send you 20 dollars.
Did y'all see that tiktok were the girl had said u can Tell who the bottom is by looking at just the cover because they look like they low-key don't want to be there?
Fucking did it, tested the theory and it fucking worked. First 20 and I had guessed the bottom just like that, don't know how to feel about this....
Y'all I'm in a mood so I feel like talking about nothing in particular but I found a pretty popular topic
Topic: Diy vs Shein
At this point I think everyone has seen this debate, and honestly it got really boring for me really quickly but I'm bored so might as well type my opinion on (Even though I think some people will be butt hurt about it).
Personally, I don't think buying from Shein is as big of a deal as y'all want it to be. Like any other big corporation or whatever it is, it uses bad practices (Child labour and probably worse).
First of all, it's not like Shein is the only place selling fast fashion. Most of clothing store these days do, even the big brands, for even higher prices than Shein.
Most of the arguments I've heard is Thrift or Diy. Both in which I don't think fixes anyone's issues.
For Diy, you have to understand that people are busy, don't want to spend time learning a new skill or risk ruining clothes, and are disabled. It's weird to just tell someone to learn how to make their own clothes just for an aesthetic they want to wear or just because that's how they want to express themselves.
For Thrifting, you have to consider the fact it has gained popularity so stuff isn't exactly cheap anymore like it should be, Some people won't find things that fit the style they're going for (Like people in conservative states or in poverty), some people can't even afford to go and a lot of Thrift places don't carry ALT plus size clothing.
People that are against my argument trying to also make it sound like everyone that buys from Shein supports child labor but if we're going by their logic, almost everyone does.
That cute crochet jacket you got for cheap at the mall? Child labor. Those jeans from literally anyone that sells them? Child labour. Anything you bought while Thrifting that's from back in the day? Most definitely child/ unfair factory labour. That stuffed animal you got for Christmas....? I think you get the idea.
Anyways my point is, like anyone else I don't support child labor and hope trump dies, but until the world becomes better I don't see what's the point in shaming people about it.
Yap session: Concluded
Topic: My mindset (?)
So boom, I just finished my homework right? And while I was doing it, I was remembering a conversation I had with an ex friend a while back.
Basically she said I was weird and insensitive with how I handle certain situations and really my whole life in general (which is why we don't talk now). And now that I'm thinking about it I've never really thought of how she came to that conclusion. So I thought I'd just Yap about it here and get it off my chest.
First, I don't like being hung up on things I know I can't change. For example, I'm poor? Well shit, guess I'm poor. My pants ripped and I didn't bring a spare? Okay, guess everyone knows what color my panties are. My five year situationship just ended? Not much I can do, he doesn't like me anymore.
Also I don't like letting myself get upset y'know? Not saying I don't cry and get mad it's just when I do, I don't let it last long. So if someone where to just insult me badly or I got into a bad argument, after about an hour I'm already letting it go and if they aren't ready to I just leave them alone until they get over it and I'm not going to go out of my way to make you feel better.
I also don't like acting like I'm this perfect person y'know? Like I'm probably the biggest hypocrite I know. Like yes, I just laughed at the kid falling and busting her lip and yes I just called this person a dumbass bitch even though they did nothing wrong to me and I think I'm better than a lot of people for no reason. I literally don't care, I get it's not the right thing to do or whatever but people do much worse than me.
and I refuse to say sorry if I don't mean it or really anything at all if I don't mean it. I'm literally always going to say what I'm feeling, fuck how you feel about it. And I guess that's probably what people don't like about me.
Just wanna know tho, am I really that bad lmao?
Yap session: Concluded.
why is this me, except for this part "and I refuse to say sorry if I don't mean it or really anything at all if I don't mean it. I'm literally always going to say what I'm feeling, fuck how you feel about it.", I want to be like that tbh, but I just hate starting arguments, like don't want to waste my time on those emotions/feelings
Lol, I don't think your bad.
I'm the same as you the only extra things is that I don't really care, so I just say whatever I know will please you and make you rely on me then when you actually need me I'm just gonna fuck you up
My mom always says it baɗ but I didn't start it and If I've moved on so will they eventually. So carry on the way you are not everyone is meant to be in your life. Those that don't mind your personality will always stay.
Pardon me but fuck your so called friend, live your life honey you only got one after all
٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Just realized I quite literally have no one in my life to talk to about this, so I guess I'm going to just put it here because I'm just going to feel shitter if I don't say anything.
This is also question for all the older siblings out there. Is it just my mom that treats me like this or is this a universal experience for all older siblings? Especially sisters.
So recently I've been wanting to take my hair down, it was a hairstyle I asked for but I'm tired of it now and I don't really like how it was done in the first place. But the thing is, I only mentioned taking it down one time, I already knew not to push it because I never really know what'll make my mom mad.
This morning, I went to the living room, just to say good morning. I was in a good mood and everything, never mentioned my hair. Then my mom starts playing with my hair, like styling it and stuff. And I gently said something barely even mentioning wanting to take it down.
And I guess I should've just shut my mouth because then my God mother (barely consider her that), starts going off on me. Asking me what I'll do after I take it down.
For some context, literally the only thing I can't do is my hair. I can cook, I can clean, I'm good with kids and my siblings and I'm pretty independent overall. It's the only thing I can't do. She always brings that up when she's irritated with me.
So then my mom joins her right, and they start going off at me. Saying I'm too old not to know how to do my hair (I'm 15 but going on 16 in a few months.). And it's not like I don't know that. I feel stupid enough not knowing how to do it.
So now I start trying to backtrack and try explaining that I don't care all that much really. But that made them more upset at me? So upset that the scolding quite literally went to straight up insulting and humiliating me.
For example: Calling me a stud (Something classmates have been calling me that has been bothering me), dumb and stupid, ungrateful. Saying I'm acting like I'm 4.
And when I started crying, they told me to look at them while they talk (They weren't talking, they were actually yelling at me, loud enough to wake my siblings). They knew they hurt my feelings and just kept going and going.
And this isn't the first time either, they always do things like this to me and just me. My siblings get away with shit I can only dream of.
So I just want to know is this normal? Am I doing too much? I just don't understand why it's always me being treated like this just because I'm older.
honestly i have no clue why your mum is acting up like that. it seems a bit weird and patronising, like they're both humiliating you as a form of power? also i'm not really sure what you mean by taking your hair down? can i ask what type of hair you might have because i'm envisioning super straight hair but that may not be the case. also, don't feel shit abt not being able to do your hair lols. i'm 17 and i can barely style it, i'm late to the cosmetic train. hope u feel better, (●'◡'●)ノ
im not sure why they're making a big deal out of something so minor, it really isn't normal. unless its something tied to religion or tradition i guess i can comprehend their reaction. im pretty sure you already have the gut feeling that hurting a family member emotionally is not normal and it shouldn't be. if they don't show any signs of remorse or change, try not taking it to the hear since you'll only hurt yourself when you've done nothing wrong
That's verbal abuse. I'm so sorry you went through that. You're only 15. It's ok to not know how to do your own hair yet. You didn't deserve to be yelled at and insulted.
From my experience, people do expect more out of the oldest. I think because we learn to be independent pretty quickly, they expect us to not need help and do everything on our own. And when we fail to meet those expectations, it's somehow worse than when our siblings do.
I'm much older than you and my family still holds those expectations of me. In many ways, I also hold those expectations of myself and they've shaped me in both good and bad ways. Idk what my point is, but I hope you feel better and get to have the hair you want.
this is not normal, you're not doing too much, it's just some parents became a parent not bcs they're ready but bcs they want to & a lot of time the first born will be the one to get the most shit from their incapability for being a good parents.. the best thing u could do at that age is suck it up & wait till u can make ur own money to get out of their life. there's another option to make it better tho but it's 30/70 success rate, getting mentally or physically sick to the point you need a doctor or psychiatrist to tell your parents that u're sick because of stress then from there there's around 30% chance they'll try to soften up & listen to u but mostly it became worst so i really recommend to suck it up for a few years to get a job then leave.
and oh actually there's one more option, it's to break down & pour all ur heart down, with anger & cry, don't let them win and keep saying all ur hearts down till they listen, cs that kind of parents can't be approach gently by words i mean the fact that u didn't even talk abt ur hair but it escalated to that means they're not the type to listen but if you become more aggressive than them but not to the point of danger there's a chance they'll listen to you and realize ur feelings. if ur parents a good ppl they might understand but if even after doing that it get worst then I'm sorry..
for me I've experienced both, break down and get sick.. it's sounds like i pretend but no actually i did break down & get sick bcs of stressed they unintentionally put on me bcs of the lack of knowledge abt good parenting & it worked even tho it's kinda messed up with my body at least my stress is lessen & it's getting better slowly but surely.
i know it sounds horrible but this far, that's the only thing that i saw worked for some ppl. i hope u'll find ur way to deal with ur problem & a good luck for u

Okay its 6 in the morning where I am and I just had a large thought bigger than my body. But I need yall to listen and not put a pitchfork to my throat
Abortion is murder, just listen to me okay? Even if the fetus in the early stages is more of a leech than a person, it's still going to become one no? So deleting it is killing a person but this is were my main focus comes in
Is all murder unethical? Is all murder bad?
If you were told that the baby you were carrying would be the next Adolf Hitler? Someone like Ted Bundy or Jeffrey dahmer or maybe even become like one of those boys that killed James Bulger? Would you not want to get rid of it before it gets a chance to spread evil? To do bad?
But of course we as humans can't predict something like that but even with the people we know have done bad things like this, we shy away from the topic of what's the right thing to do with them. I don't believe it's bad to kill a murderer, it shouldn't even be debated. You took someone's life, what gives you the right to continue living?
"But what to do about pedophiles or rapist? They haven't killed anyone." But did they not do something that effects the victim in ways that can't be undone? That lowers their quality of life in general? I personally feel its on the same level as murder, and both should be killed.
This is actually a topic for an essay I was supposed to be writing but I chose a simpler one but I wanted to yap about it somewhere
I'm hella confused. Is your topic about abortion or is it about murder and justifications?
Tattoo artist gave me a bad tattoo, the mental trauma cannot be undone, my quality of life has lowered in general, the tattoo artist deserves to die.
your logic doesn’t make sense tbh.
so if someone causes a crash (complete accident) but it permanently injures someone they should die?
so people who kill in self defence should die?
Is that what I said? No. The type of murder I speak of is intentionally, something someone did on purpose. Nothing about accidental injuries, murders, severe crimes that can't be forgiven
If you're a bit confused because of my statement on abortion that was more of a hook than anything else.
the introduction is not a good opening for the rest of the essay, it is merely for shock value. objectively, its a structural mess. there is an issue of correlation. you have something you want to talk about so talk about that.
Your quality of life can not be lowered because you don't like your tattoo, do you think victims of rape and pedophilia only suffer mentally?
It's about if all murder is bad or unethical, the abortion part was more of a hook than anything
im referring to if u are hoping to continue your segue of abortion to the ethics of murder. personally, the logic is not sensible regardless. i would advise you use a different topic
I got fired and no one wants to employ me because of my botched tattoo :'(
but you didn’t say that? you said ‘i don’t believe it’s bad to kill a muderer,it shouldn’t even be debated,you took someone’s life what gives you the right to continue living’
if your only talking about certain circumstances you should clarify that.
you have to decide which disciple you want to focus on whether it be medically, theologically, psychologically, socially, etc. in the construction of your arguments.
as it is currently, it is obvious that not much thought has been put into the topic. the ideas are jumbled and the disciplines overlap. these issues give way for contradiction. you should do research instead of relying solely on your morals
Just a curious question to op hmm : Why do you think murder is punishable by death? Because like you clarified later, murder can be for various, various reasons. Revenge, self defense, serial addiction, under substance influence, accidental, justice (something you are proposing is murder for justice; ie; death penalty). What is the institution of measure you'll use to decide whether this specific type of murder is worthy of a death penalty? Don't you think it might get messy and unfair sometimes? Just curiousss. But I agree with death penalty for rapists and pedophiles.
Lmao this is literally just me yapping about something I've been giving alot of thought lately, it's not meant to make much sense since I'm really just typing it out to put my own thoughts about the subject in a more clear order, but it seems It didn't come off like that
I believe it should be punishable by death because a life is not something you can give back, taking a life is not something someone should be able to come back from, to be forgiven for. You took someone's life, so why do you deserve yours? Especially if they've taken multiple
And I don't necessarily believe it will be a smooth and easy going process, nor fair. And there's nothing to measure unless the murder was committed in self defense or for a good cause (but then there is argument for what a good cause is), if not either of and intentional I believe the perpetrator should be put to death.
Killing someone by accident (ex:Car crash or workplace mistake) shouldn't be punishable by death
Well I definitely never said my logic applied to all circumstances, did I? Not only that the only a clear focus point was "is it wrong to kill a murderer", as in someone who took someone's life with intention.
Do you believe a person killed in a car accident was murdered? That someone killed by way if an accident or mistake was murdered? I don't
What about drunk driving?
What apart of my logic do you think not makes sense? When I wrote this (at six in the morning mind you) I was kinda just letting the words flow however I wanted, this isn't all that serious to me, just something I've been thinking about and thought about writing about so I knew my logic wouldn't make complete sense, I am just in highschool but I wouldn't mind some criticism to hopefully help me construct it in away to be more understanding
It wasn't intentional so I wouldn't say its outright murder but they did something irresponsible that took a life, so still a serious offense that deserves jail time (ten years at most)
Ur funny asf
1. abortion is murder because it will become a person. that is an argument on science and cellular development
2. is all murder bad? relative to the paragraph about abortion is missing context because all you provided was that you personally believe that fetus = person. you have only established that you view equality between the two.
abortion - an act of intentional removal of a fetus (lets say speaking only medically). murder - an act of intentional and unintentional ending of a person’s life. state more clearly your definition of what exactly is murder and what kind of murder you are focusing on
3. abortion because what if it grows to be a terrible person. that is a hypothetical. you have now gone into philosophical fields. very abstract, contrast to your first argument on abortion that is more scientifically ground
4. murdering a person who has done bad. moral philosophy once again. “you took someone’s life so what gives you the right to continue living?” why do you think sp? what RIGHT are you referring to? what moral code are u citing? arent you just ranting about your personal beliefs?
5. lowering quality of life. this is a societal concept, social and economic. again, you have added another field to your argument. expound on how it lowers quality of life. why argue societal with the philosophical and the scientific with little actual research
6. so many I me my. what makes you think your belief is correct and worth listening to? is what you are saying even true?
i used to grade essays and my favorite to do were creative writing. highschoolers tend to rant about what they strongly believe in without accounting for everything else. shower thoughts shouldn’t always be put into writing lol. i strongly advise that if u pursue this topic to please add as much facts as you possibly can
discipline* idk why that was disciple lol
theres also many things murder can be extended to like in cases of neglect or indirect contribution. its like that case where a healthcare ceo was murdered because the structure of health insurance and healthcare in general have no regard for actual patients. op only mentioned cases in the extreme without actually taking time to establish what definition of murder is being talked about here
