Did we HAVE to go this route?? For such a long time now, these authors have been incorporating rape in their writing too much(and I think it’s time many of them to stop infantilizing it), and the tone of it is fetishized to some extent too. I just feel like it’s a cope out for bad writing or instead lack of direction . I especially say this for “flashlight” because I truly could’ve seen a different direction for this series. And so, with whatever happens from here on out would basically be as predictable as these other yaois with the same ol’ SA then forgiveness, redemption, and peace . Anyways yall check out “Shutline” IF no one has(which I’m sure many already did), I say that because that story knows how to create buildup while acknowledging consent, all while making it look HOT AS HELL
I swear Taeui stay analyzing “the look in Illay” eyes as human-like and somewhat soft, like whatttt???…… That’s legit a whole sicko, psycho, rapist, and multiple assault maniac impulsive man child. There was nothing in illay from the beginning that should make anyone want to stay if I have to be honest. Having finished the novel a while back, I hate that I still felt like Taeui was an idiot. Sex fueled their relationship, alongside some other foolery lowkey.
Biggest bird ever bro
Nah id say it’s like the ”Stockholm syndrome” His uncle and brother did him wrong and ilay was kinda his only refuge in UHRDO (or wtv the name was lol) ilay was his source of information there and had his back even when everyone else was labelling him as evil madman
I mean if passion actually had quality writing i would take its psychological aspects seriously but cmon it's just a rapefest with a pinch of action
