Sorry but when was it decided that when a body feels good that equals a person consenting? Because let’s be so goddamn for real right now, a body getting aroused due to being touched or assaulted / penetrated does not mean you’re consenting, your body was designed to feel pleasure. When someone says no, that they don’t want to have sex with you that means NO, it doesn’t mean yes even if you keep fucking asking after the no and they eventually say yes that’s still a NO. Hunter raped Yujin PERIOD, it wasn’t dub con it was RAPE. The first thing Yujin said to Hunter was NO therefore it was no consent given and was rape. Who cares if this is fictional, shit like this happens everyday to men AND women, so being ok with it just because it’s in a story is hella wrong.
I’m so sensitive to rape nowadays especially with the Cornell rape… im struggling to read this story which I loved at one point and now its just rape trash like all the other popular BL’s. I get sick reading comments of people trying to say this is dub-con when it’s clearly not and anyone with brain cells would be able to see that. Stories and writing and artistic expression makes us more desensitized to the things that are going on in the world, especially seeing as people defending rape In literacy and justifying it, it shows just how well we’ve been programmed over the years.
Fiction becomes real through us. That’s the scary thing. I’ve never been pro bullying or pro cyber hate. But in this situation the reader have to step in the place of the author to make it clear that this is morally wrong. The moral Messages or we consume from the stories, reread shape how we behave in real life. When gone unchecked stories like these are DANGEROUS For the kind of social ideologies, they breed disregards consent.
I’m only on chapter 3, but I hate how every story is the same and how it’s always for the male gaze it’s like every story with uncensored smut that has a woman always has the same parts as in labia and stuff and it’s so annoying to not see different shaped women. Not only that but like I said it’s constantly made for the male gaze so there’s no foreplay. There’s nothing. It’s just like yes I’m going to suck your tits and then corkscrew my fingers into your delicate area with no thoughts
It’s a hard question to answer… how is evil born, is it because of how someone grows in their environment or is it simply who they are born to be?
I grew up in abuse, I was taught to not be kind, I was raised by nasty people and yet I go out of my way to be kind and to keep people safe, hell, I stayed in the sun when it was hella hot to protect some bees that were struggling when others were determined to step on them to get around me… so is evil in our environments the cause of why people are ‘evil’? I’m living proof that if I can save lives others overlook even after the hell I’ve been through then maybe evil is a choice regardless of your environment.









I started looking back between blossoms of the white night and Smyrna & Capri trying to put some things together. I know the author said that we weren’t getting Mpreg, but that’s not to say that we won’t get any children. I mean the lines still have to continue up until Smyrna & Capri, right?
So I started looking at the plant that allows Theo to go from Alpha to omega. It’s a fig plant called Shira Fig. The tools that they use to take the juice from the fig and ingest it so that their body begins to change looks sort of like what Shuraka used to inhale Shaiwa to reduce his libido, but it’s also a poison. As far as I know, we don’t get very much about the fig that is used to take Theo from Alpha to Omega, but from what I think I understand is that too much use of the fig could cause damage to the body, which is why you can only be Smyrna once I believe.
We also learned that Shuraka’s blood is like a nutrients to plants and that when he dies from the poison that’s building up in his body plant sprout from his body because of the nutrients in his blood so that led me to believe that between his blood and his powers to make dead plants come back to life. He could probably create something that would allow him to escape from the poison, killing him while also completing the task of procreation, with Tei… and the fig would’ve had to have started somewhere, so it’s reasonable to believe that it was created with the purpose of allowing someone to have a child but at the same time there is no mpreg so we have to work around that.
The fig isn’t going to magically create a child without being carried in a womb, but there’s definitely some connection between biological and magical foundations that eventually make the Shira fig. There’s just too many plants in blossoms of the white night to ignore that the plants could probably lead to what causes the procreation, besides the fig or course.
The eye of Natam isn’t just life magic because the holders are specifically described as being able to bring life to barren land.. Natam is the God of life and death and reproduction is a major part of the religion, there has to be connections that I’m missing with this.
I highly doubt Natam would let Shuraka end the bloodline completely, and what if something happens to the child that was chosen to succeed Shuraka? There’s no way Natam would let Shuraka die before giving a true successor to him. I don’t think it would let the cycle break because from what I understand is Shuraka is basically saying he’s choosing the next ruler but Arnata mythology heavily states that Natam chooses.
Anyways, thanks for listening to my TED talk lmfao.
I enjoyed your Ted talk :) you are definitely on to something
