~1,000 ppl graduate HS? At first I thought it meant in the whole country!! My US graduating class ALONE was over 900 ppl and we weren’t even the largest HS in the district!
Mine was like 45 or 60 lol
That girl literally called him fusspot oppa hahaha
When these two fellas get married, they should just change their last name to that lol
Appreciate how the author did not give us an explicit rape scene with that 3P SA. Just ML walking into the room, even angled it so that you barely saw MC giving head & it completely covered him getting fucked. Bc we don’t need to see that shit to get how sad & awful it is, and its relevance in the story
I mean it could also have to do with the fact that ML’s a minor and laws may not permit them from drawing all that together, not sure. But the blowjob guy’s dick was visible & uncensored so I don’t think so.
I appreciate that as well
Tho i also think his sex scenes with ray should not have been explicit at all
sorry this turned out long af, nbd if ya skip it.
Yeah I’m sure many do. I have mixed feelings on that. As uncomfortable as those scenes can be, only so much can be expressed through dialogue & drawings so I find sometimes it's important to witness them to better understand the significance & mentality of the victimized character. When Ban sleeps with Ray he’s feeling a plethora of emotions; and those sex scenes show Ban’s infatuation with Ray that Ban believes is love. Rays indifference; and Ban being aware of that, trying to ignore it, still desperately clinging to Ray, & having any feelings about this mistreatment at all; do separate those acts self-harm sex from when he sleeps around with ppl he has no feelings for. The weight of that sad, complicated confusion Ban feels when sleeping with Ray likely wouldn’t be as well understood if it weren’t from a more realistic (aka drawn/shown) perspective. It helps immerse us in Ban's experience during sex with Ray, which is likely a core cause of what leads him to self-harm in the first place & sleep with strangers. and tbf if a reader doesn’t like that kind of immersion but still likes the plot, there are other ways to enjoy the story.
However, the extent of explicitness needed to relay the aforementioned element of a comic’s storyline will always be up for debate & depend on the reader. I’m sure many would argue you could achieve exactly what I said above with less or no visible SA in the comic at all. Some may say it’s not enough.
My personal opinion is that each individual needs to remember, for themselves & the opinions of others, that our morality meters & bias are formed from the conglomeration of our life experiences - positive, negative, & neutral. When it comes to topics surrounding trauma; each persons understanding & personal experience with trauma will affect their reaction related to it; often forgetting that just like their own experiences led them to their consensus on the topic, it’s the same for others that don’t share their point of view. On all sides of conflicting opinions, a persons stance came from their own life experience that led them to that conclusion. And, just like how an individual feels justified in believing they’re "right" bc their life experiences have led them to believe so, gotta remember that other persons life experiences led them to think the same. When really these are topics that have no "right" answer. (not that SA is merely matter of opinion - I mean utilizing it in fiction like this) I believe nobody should be torn down in the comments for their opinion. Experiences yield good & bad consequences, but that doesn’t equate to the concept of experiences themselves being a right or wrong thing.
That’s your fetish huh? I’d get laid a lot if it were me. Was literally dealing with a bloody nose when I started reading this comic lol.
Samsam's self-criticism when he’s in front of the mirror is PEAK victim behavior from being raised by someone who's clinically narcissistic. Breaks my heart
Oh 100% everyone always says "hate this trope why don't they just do xyz" like ummmm it's obvious you've never been severely abused by your parent or lover.
As someone who was severely emotionally abused by my mother for 20 years I see myself in such a negative light it's insane. I only broke away once she threatened to get physical. I've even lost 53 pounds and still see myself as disgusting and that I'm still some fat pos(granted I am still fat ;-;)
Ohh 100% agree. I’m always thinking – commenter…I’m so happy your life has been fluff so far…but there’s plenty of fluff stories for you to vibe with, no need to complain lol
I'm a victim via mom too I get it! Also experience(d) weight fluctuations, body image issues, unfathomable self-criticism, physical harm by her hand. RELIABLE therapy or self-education helps immensely. I know me simply telling you not to feel that way is about as effective as a fart. And that everyone under the sun has probably told you that; but it’s not that easy, or you would have done it by now.
But in this one conversation you know what I can very honestly tell you? That you were both brave & smart enough to realize what was going on and break free. Many victims never do that. Plus it's MUCH harder to realize & escape when it’s from childhood, since for you it’s all you’ve ever known. That’s what you’ve been taught is the norm. But despite feeling disgusted with yourself, you also somewhere deep down had enough respect for yourself to see that what was happening to you was in fact NOT the norm, and that YOU DESERVE BETTER. You can simultaneously feel you have enough worth not to be treated that way while also feel filthy & worthless. It’s very hard for others to understand unless they’ve been trapped in that extreme manipulation. However, I can’t offer advice on how to reconcile such oxymoronic emotions. You definitely need a qualified (for your particular trauma) therapist for that.
Sorry that was long! I don’t usually solicit advice out of nowhere, sorry if any of it bothered you. It’s all well-intended. Also, I’m not trying to "tell you how you feel," just guessing based off the info at hand & my experience/education. Hope it helps! Can’t just stop hating yourself. But you can start adding the positive thoughts I mentioned. Don’t push it if it overwhelms you tho
I really don't like therapy personally, I've always been the type that I don't wanna talk about things seriously. I've tried a couple therapists but being forced to talk about what happened to me just left me sobbing to hard I couldn't breath and would almost puke and just make me tired afterward from all the straining. Not to mention forcing that all up to light when I'd been feeling fine before the session leaves me feeling even worse than normal
That’s fair, I can definitely understand how that seems counter-intuitive. I actually didn’t go to therapy for a loooooong time after realizing what was happening. I spent years just educating myself. Helped tons. That can be at your own pace, stopped at any point if it’s overwhelming, and doesn’t involve needing to divulge anything yourself! I still wish as few ppl as possible suffer side effects of what clinical narcissists do to them. Including you!! Whatever the case hope you’re healing and remember, you didn’t deserve that.
I’m looking forward to how the omega is gonna react when he learns they’re both bottoms
I just know I’m going to be so mad about how he reacts. This omega is hellah sexist and shitty
No judgement if you got them, I have friends with them and they look good, but not every piercing suits every person yk?
I'm not the best judge here tho bc my spouse never "asked me out" or proposed…our feels just worked out that way and we didn’t have to specify. This was before the word "situationship" existed tho (but not before the concept)
As soon as I read ch 61 I was so ready to come see ppl tear it up in the comments. I don’t even mind when plots let me down like this bc the funny fury in the comments are worth it every time
End of ch 13 I literally measured the width of what we’re pretending’s a dick and it was indeed the same width as uke's legs HELP
