We haven't had a sex scene between the main couple in sooooo long that I'm officially tired of re-reading previous stuff. And I'm like a broken record when it comes to enjoying something, besides idc about Rail and Dyne fucking it was implied that they're doing it pretty early on in the story. If we were gonna get any side characters fucking it should've been Martu and Baro before Baro disappeared. It would've been a nice change from the usual dynamic "One's tall and the other's short" that both couples so far have fallen into.
I feel like this all could've been avoided if the parents were just honest from the start. I get why they would wanna wait for her to be able to form her own opions before telling her, but children form opinions based on exposure. They could've exposed Illiana to their progressive opinions to combat the constant closed minded opinions of others that she faced, giving her the ability to look at the situation from both sides.
I've re-read some of the early chapters to remember what little things seemed off in the fathers relationship with Illiana, like how certain phrases threw him off or upset him. I'm curious to see how we'll get there from this point. And maybe we'll see more about how the mom felt when she started distancing herself from her family for Illianas sake.
TL/IDKHTR: If you want your kid to form their own opinions, you can't just shelter them and hope for the best results. Also, I'm nosy af.
I've reached new levels of petty, like-
House? Egged.
Car? Bologna'd.
Yard? Salted.
Birds? Feeding them fiber.
Crows? Turning them against you.
Garden? Planted bamboo and mint.
Steps? Lowering the last step just enough to trip you.
Phone number? Signed it up for info calls from scientology.
Pillow? Replacing them with self warming pillows.
Sleep? Hidding random beepers all over your room/home.
Walking? I will be flinging legos under your bare feet and freshly chewed gum and pebbles under your shoes.
Breathing? Hope you like the taste of fart spray every time you yawn.
Eating out? I'll order whatever you order and ruin my food, then I'll keep swapping them out until it drives you mad.
I wish I could change my rating to negative -100 stars, but I'll settle for one. Author, if I catch you on the street your ass is done.
I know it takes forever to update in general but by now we normally have a few new chapters what's going on??
I will never understand this trope where the couple falls in love and wants to be closer but then one person wants to move out, they did something kinda similar in define the relationship and it’s just so confusing and honestly a bit lazy to me. Like, there are other ways to show how independent you are in a relationship and other ways to create more tension in the story.
This is interesting that you say this, I didn’t think that much into and just thought oh yeah he doesn’t want to bum off of his bf- or like if you think of it in an irl way what if you break up and you get kicked out
Yeah there’s always a chance you could get kicked out irl, but if you’re relationship is progressing the way the fictional couple’s is then moving in together is both natural and inevitable. I understand saving up emergency funds just in case something happens, as for bumming off him, he never was being a bum because he was being hosted by his bf on the behalf of the government until he could legally work. And his bf has consistently told him he’s welcome to stay with him since working.
Also I don’t think people really read fictional stories like this for the irl aspects, or at least I don’t. Of course there are exceptions for manga that inaccurately represent cultures, history, and important things that if done wrong can offend entire groups of people but this isn’t one of those mangas. With this manga I’m here for the romance, smut, and occasional drama.
Then you’ll have money saved up
Sorry, I’m currently reading two stories and commenting in different things and I commented this on the wrong thing sounds kind of appropriate, but not like you didn’t read the whole thing(￣∇￣")
