The moment I saw the bottle in joohwan’s hand I thought ‘wait isn’t that a Frederic Malle bottle?’ And went to fragrantica to check which one (it’s the one developed by perfumer Dominique Ropion called Vetiver Extraordinaire). Saw all of this and then scrolled down to see that it was exactly that perfume (albeit with some spelling changes) oof I’m such a fucking nerd about this shit.
Re:notes personally I’ve never tried perfumes with citrus top notes that mellow out into spicy middle and woodsy base notes (which is the profile for this particular perfume). Lately I’ve been eyeing FM’s portrait of a lady (lovely name; also developed by Dominique ropion) so maybe I’ll buy a sample both of these.
ANYWAY about the chapter sihyun is highkey a minx bro the way he’s sooo ‘yeah this? The stuff we do together?’ About the marks Joohwan leaves on him is crazyyyy he’s so hot.
Definitely not my thing but I admire the fact you could guess which perfume it was just from the bottle lmaoo
I googled this perfume and it costs around 350 euros. Mannnnn these bitches are rich
Buying samples is such a good idea! Where do you get them from?
I’m not as into it as my sibling who is the one who got me into it. Honestly many perfumery houses have a distinct look to their bottles (JPG, FM, Byredo, MFK,LV, Madison M Margiela, Xerjoff, Tom Ford, PdM, Creed, Diptyque etc etc). It’s very much a branding thing. Passing familiarity with popular expensive perfumes is enough to recognise these bottles. With Frederic Malle it’s not that I recognised the exact perfume at the outset (I looked it up on fragrantica), but that I saw the labeling look very similar to perhaps their most famous scent, Musc Ravageur. From there it was easy pickings.
Yeah perfumes are a very expensive hobby. I think this is why joohwan makes it a point to say he uses his very sparingly, but maybe it’s being used up more because he applies/wears it before meeting sihyun and them meeting frequently would result in quick depletion. Honestly this is the thing I’m confused about specifically because FM sells this is mostly in 100ml bottles. Even if it’s the only scent he uses, finishing 100ml is very difficult within even 4 months so I’m flummoxed by that lmao.
My country has a lot of people. Even if 0.0001% of the population had this specific hobby, that’s a very sizable market. If they can afford it, a huge culture around the hobby arises. As a consequence, not only are there a lot of perfume sellers, they’re also a lot of decant sellers and strong exchange cultures re: perfumery, not to mention ALT makers and perfume clone developers. All that to say is either I’ll get an official set of samples from a reputed seller that has both perfume samples or I’ll buy them from a decant seller. If you want to look into getting into perfumery, I recc looking into your specific country culture around the hobby.
it’s kind of nice seeing him be someone who probably makes a decent living but isn’t frivolous with his purchases. it’s such a realistic indulgent splurge haha
Forget the white haired evil gangster who you’re going to kill jeon jiwoo be mine instead.
To gain power, he didn’t need to rape umehiko, he just did it because he could. Wow. Ew.
Sexual intercourse was needed. Rape wasnt.
In the special where momo is originally summoned, he’s able to replenish his power from holding hands alone.
Does it say or you see only that? Dont be naïve…
Tha fact he can replenish some with holding hands, and way more and way faster by having sex…
I do not want to thing about this, so knowing he can get some magic by skin-to-skin, its enough
‘Don’t be naive’ is a funny thing. This is what the special episode both says and shows. It’s posited that Theo would’ve developed romantic curiosity towards umehiko just from hearing momo speak about him so much. It’s safe to say there was no sexual or romantic relationship between Theo and momo in the special, and Theo replenishes his magic by skin contact/touch alone.
You know you can have sex with a person you dont love (￣∇￣")
Fine. But why did he rape/had sex with umehiko then? Bc its gay holding halds?
Right? I think the author just wanted to brute force something sexual and so went the rape route, which is unfortunate.
I'm pretty sure sex gives a lot more and he wasn't hesitant with umehiko because he isn't a kid and he isn't the blessed maiden that had so much potent power that he wanted to summon (which is momo) so he needed to do more with ume compared to what momo could give him
Thats sounds logical…
god they turned him into a child soldier who had to kill relentlessly just to make his way back to his love. He’s literally tearing himself open trying to get closer to his beloved. This can’t be the first and last time. Let them have some happiness. Yeon was right, he wouldn’t stop loving kihoon in this life or the next. Neither could kihoon. They have loved each other just so.
ALSO PLEASE STOP DRAWING SUCH RIDICULOUS DICK SIZES THATS NOT A DICK THATS A BASEBALL BAT BROOO not even present yeon’s dick is this big fuck.
The dicks being so comically large takes me out.
Being so sad about the doomed yaoi then hit in the face (proverbially) with a baseball sized cock kihoon I do not envy your desperation and yearning nor your insane wish to raw dog #that into you hole damn
Fr fr you shouldn't need combat experience to handle a dick lolol
I think we’re going to finish next chapter without ibeom being introduced to jungoh’s mom aaaa it would’ve been so cute but I’m happy if they’re happy I just can’t deal with this ending forever… no more side stories anymore. Pain.
This feels more like a coming of age romance than strictly BL no? I like how their types are vaguely like each other. Also it’s so cute the mitsuru fantasizes about saving someone and falling in love while jiro fantasizes about being saved. Compatible from the start. It is difficult to date your only queer/gay friend because the fear of things going awry and losing that relationship comes with losing your only queer/gay friend too. It do be like that sometimes.
Also re: dating apps, I think minors should never engage with them. If an app explicitly wants to ascertain that you’re above 18 then respect that. If an app says it’s safe for kids to use, trust that it will be full of pedo predators because they never respect minor only spaces. Keep safe people.
What would be considered a bl then?
Oh this might be why people are disliking. My tone isn’t to look down upon BL. I think I say this because I also read lots of books where there is a somewhat clear distinction between m/m romance and queer coming of age literature with dating in the mix. In manga it is harder to explain. I think manga that are just as focused on character (especially as teen and in the experience of growing up queer) as romance do feel more coming of age/ slice of life BL than strictly BL, where most of the stuff, include the characters in their entirety, are about the romance.
Maybe I said it wrong. It is a BL (as created) with slice of life/ coming of age elements.
you mean this one's a 'main genre slice of life, sub-genre romance' instead of the usual 'main genre romance, sub-genre slice of life'?
No, it’s the later. Like I clarified in the another reply, it is a BL (ergo romance) with slice of life elements. my original comment itself was influenced by how much I appreciated the slice of life elements (I found the queer coming of age perspective relatable). A coming of age romance denotes a romance with coming of age elements.
Hence, main genre: romance. Sub genre: coming of age/ slice of life.
As opposed to something that is purely/singularly romance, if that makes sense.
For the side story smut chapters the creator completely forgot yoon’s new hair length.
I think in the chapter they said it was a hair clip or something like that
it’s a hair clip bruh
The reason I read this is mostly bc I find the title cards enchanting (they really are) and interest in their backstory. I’m surprised people think this is the ‘obligatory rape scene’. Their first ‘sexual’ encounter was a rape scene too. This creator, though having worked hard to have amazing art style, writes sexified rape in atleast 2/3 of their stories (I haven’t read the last one), and writes repeated rape+coercion leading to dickmatization and feelings+romance. I thought we all knew.
However I do find it frustrating that taeoh instead of actually asking why Jiwon is acting like this immediately treats him like chattel, a convenient hole and good luck charm. There is no explosive anger, just sexual violence. I am supposed to believe this guy actually cares about jiwon btw. He thinks it’s perfectly normal that he’s engaged and fucking jiwon on the side and everyone will be completely normal about that. Weirdo ass.
This is overall really fun and also in the final chapter it’s so self aware ‘this comic isn’t a queer documentary, it’s a BL’ LMFAO
Yeah yumin hit on him constantly but taejoon is literally jerking himself off next to yumin saying ‘why are you making me do this?’ Bro you are literally doing this to yourself atleast jerk in the shower instead of shoving your fingers in yumin’s mouth.
Also RIP yumin instead of finding a human guy to get pregnant he walked into the tigers den unwittingly. He’s cute so for the sake of this manhwa i will pretend that somehow the black footed cat native to Africa has beastmen of Korean ancestry existing in SK. Yumin really rizzed taejoon up by being clingy and sending mixed signals wow.
