I love that elliot actually looks like a second lead (which he is in the original novel), the smart, handsome, gentle type with glasses. I feel like this is suppressing my desire to see the MLs and second MLs together sometimes instead of fighting over the MCs

Ikr! I often felt that way too; preferring ML with 2nd ML cause of their personalities and design. I’m glad we got Elliot’s design looking like this, and that the original novel author knows that we don’t have enough of gentle, brown haired, with glasses MCs. This is a rare combination, lol. Also, Elliot not looking like a twink is a such a huge win in the 1st place. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

because of the sexual violence he commits, I initially assumed his past would also involve sexual violence. but there’s still more to his backstory, there’s still the whole jinx thing
that makes me wonder: where does his motivation to be so aggressive with sexual partners actually come from? maybe it’s rooted in a constant need to dominate and oppress because he despises the feeling of being weak and helpless

im kind of glad it didn’t though, while it could seem like a conclusive full circle moment it also perpetuates ‘victims become abusers’ and especially with sexual violence it’s like he would have known the pain yet inflicted it becoming way way more psychological then I think this author is capable of ygm
I hate that now that he looks like a girl, I'm kind of like "he's kinda cute" lol
uhh
He looks Omori coded
yes, because of his eyes
