pure hearted children taming dangerous loyal beasts is one those tropes I will never get tired of, it's so endearing. Also this is unrelated but lauv as a character and his struggles is so relatable to someone neurodivergent.
"the things that come easy to other people, are extremely hard for lauv"
"The noisy world is now peaceful and quite"
"All he could do was suppress his emotions"
"because his ways are different, he couldn't get alonge with the others"
along with the constant remarks of how isolating lauv's condition is and how much lyrica's compassion and understanding helped him made me actually tear up.
My younger sister is high functioning autistic and I also suffer from sensory processing disorder along with adhd and the world through the eyes and ears of people like us can be loud and overwhelming. But when you find the right people to be with you through it, the noise and the scaryness can sometimes feel a lil more tolerable.

"haru has too much sex"
bro he's a sex worker??? it's been established since the first chapter??? ya'll are acting like he cheated when they weren't even together and it's his LITERAL JOB
"he has better chemistry with his other clients"
not really? his vibe just changed slightly to fit each costumer's personalities yet still keeping his "gentle and loving" demeanoure
lot's of people will vibe differently depending on the person they're with
"they feel bland together"
It's a short form story so obviously there won't be much time to flesh out their whole relationship but to me rather than feeling bland perse it was more like both haru and hiroki felt relaxed and comfortable around each other and even haru expresses later on that he felt genuine joy when he could make hiro happy and comfortable
though I fully understand why you would find it bland
me personally I loved it

Take in mind. Morality is a human concept and it's so abstract in it's nature that it changes easily based on culture and time. We used to burn women alive just for showing their ankles a few centuries ago. That being said...
Rather than the prostitution/Porn industry as a big whole, I was refering more to single Individuals who out of their own choices do enjoy doing casual sex work or making sexual content (cough *onlyfans* cough cough). Saying "willingly" being a sex worker is gross in it's self is disrespectful to that specific person or even to other people who may not enjoy doing sex work but had to resort to it anyway. The industry and society might be disgusting I don't deny that. But THEY are not. They're just people. Some of them, just trying to survive. But the world has decided to brand them as outcasts just based on that. And even IF it was the person who is doing it willingly and freely because they enjoy it, There's still nothing wrong with that. It's their choice.
It's practically basing someone's worth as person solely around their sexual history.
~ye old slut shaming~. ("hips don't lie" by shakira bardcore versions plays)
Also Funny enough, Prostitution and pornography have been around for thousands of years. Objectification is not really a recent problem.
It's not their fault that society sucks. We can thank centuries of religion, the patriarchy and misoginy for that.

i wont ever respect sex workers because i personally find it icky and immoral. morality is a human concept yes but we need it . without morality anything illegal can be good but it doesnt work that way. morality is important for us to function as a society. i wont ever respect only fans models or sex workers

I've never understood the mentality of blatantly harassing someone who will soon have the power to literally make you dissappear if they felt like it. That's the future empress bitch, know your place.
the best thing is courtney has the whole fuck around and find out attitude and can be somewhat mercyless when she sees it fit so I think it's safe to say girlie's ass is grass if this little ordeal goes down the way I think it will

Well, they think they can harass them simply because they were lower than them in the first place. That's their pride talking where "Wasn't she just a lowly bitch before? Then why is she becoming someone more important now?" Something like that.
They can't even gulp down their pride, now for sure they're gonna face MC's wrath.

I love how attached masatsugu is to mei ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
He has no qualms about clinging to him or cuddling up to him and mei just lives to pamper him
like the way he was comforting him after the awards situation even patting his back gently I caaaaaaaan't (/TДT)/
they give me diabetes in the best way possible
I'm glad that a good chunk of people reading this have actually been able to notice that sowon isn't just some slutty MC but rather a clearly traumatized person who uses sex as a form of self destructive coping mechanism to help him dissasociate from reality
that's why (in my opinion) what vericon did here is really important
because instead of just giving sowon what he wanted (the thing that was bad for him)
treating him gently actually worked as a grounding mechanism that pulled him out of that moment
