When i read stories like this i feel like trauma is just a figment of my imagination ain't no way a sane person will experience that and just go " yepp so that happened now did you know i love you ?"
adrenaline makes you say things you wouldn’t other ways confess. and people also get uncharacteristic when they experience near-death/traumatic things, the man you love could’ve been brutalized and killed. idk i liked it
True but i still think it was abrupt (￣∇￣")
Agreed. It happens so much in BL where the immediate "solution" or resolution offered to the victim of sexual assault is sex with their true love. That's just not how that kind of trauma works and really does make a reader feel as if the violence never happened.
Exactly
Yeah, it’s a very common trope. I get how sometimes adrenaline can ‘speed’ things up but like…confessing and boinking right there? And in the entryway where it happened, no less? I’m srsly side-eyeing them rn
ikr we just need to switch off our brain and read ig
yo the transition from him almost getting assaulted to them confessing their undying love for each other and fucking was sooo sudden. Where’s the build up???
