so did katou lost his powers, and oda on the other hand didn’t and started to hear katou’s thoughts just like the others (based on the extra) but oda didn’t leave him because??? man i would actually like to have this story longer or a volume 2 please ...

My understanding of Oda still being with Katou after he lost his powers is cause hes hyper fixated on him. He believes Katou chose him to be special like him and like he said Katou is his 'saviour'. Katou does say he lost his powers gradually which could mean Oda didn't hear his thoughts for years and continued to be obsessed with him. So even when he started hearing his thoughts Oda kept his fixation, he even says he only truly likes Katou and judging from his backstory he had intense apathy before he met Katou so its highly possible Katou is the first thing hes truly 'loved' or wanted.

well all i gotta say is tj fucked up so many times and yet ian can’t still let him go bc of all the things they’ve gone through, which sucks so bad because i just want ian free from all of this bullshit. one thing is certain though, i could really never not hate tj. fawk this guy idc abt what y’all think he will always be the bad guy

The way he’s vague with their relationship. Ian wants to clearly label their relationship exclusively, he wants to be with TJ or wanted to, but TJ kept holding it back, making Ian wait.
Raws show more of him keep on claiming Ian as his, but never really giving what Ian wants (love /with a label.)
While I can’t hate Taejoon, not sure if he’s the right one. At the moment I don’t think I want to root for anyone, maybe once this season is over I’ll come to a decision.

ian is not the only one who suffered from homophobia. they both are in an environment that values compulsory heterosexuality. tjs internalised homophobia and shame is heartbreakingly realistic not justifying what he did but grateful for doyak acknowledging it and not doing the ‘im only gay for you’ for you trope.

Tbh tj didn't even recognize the gang homophobia. He didn't experience any backlash for it. Only Ian did and he the one that recognize it, not tj. Tj was more about building connections than hiding his sexuality. It weird because it is obvious David Kim is gay, even other gang members knew about it but no one said anything about it or went against him. This comes down to Jamie. He hated Ian and how he talk about Ian could be the reason why so many talk behind Ian back.
now i miss them even more
