This series is a huge damn rainbow of trigger warnings but I'm somehow captivate by the level of freak these two have?? I guess I'm here for the ride

For most instances, I feel like that’s the only way these red flag/ toxic BLs ever truly work, tbh. When the seme is established as a demon from the start (no pretending to be a good guy, no being written as a normal character and then suddenly a r*pist out of no where) just 100% beelzebub from the start, and uke is well aware but chooses to stick around and indulge in the devilish shenanigans anyway. Resulting in it being more of a sadist/masochist situation. Matched freak. Also allows the audience to know up front that this is going to be a twisted relationship without the author tricking and surprising the readers halfway in.
Ryu Ian: it's just a 4-month fling
Narrator: it wasn't a 4-month fling
Ian: im going back to canada after four months
Narrator: this man didnt even book a flight back.
Of course he won't go back, it's a tactic!
