How is Uno supposed to act as the honeypot when he literally got thrown off a hotel balcony by Lorenzo how are they going to even get together when uno standing naked in a hotel lobby shouted at Lorenzo that he would come to regret throwing him off the hotel balcony…. I pray the time gap between red candy and bad apple was used by Hanse to craft a delicious story that makes sense I have faith
Sometimes you need to be shameless enough to say ‘you should read legendary dick vs ironclad butthole’ so that the ignorant denizens of the world too can experience peak. Self sacrifice in the name of the greater good.
Love you my favourite fictional girlfriends I hope Aya can soon heal from all the pressure she’s putting on herself.
The mangago audience keeps telling me to move but I am simply too seated. I am invested and camping. I am seated and also going to b@to and looking at the raws.
Edit: no raws on b@to available. Guess I will simply be seated here.
It really is 2 chapters what and the comments were from back in 2020 so yeah no hope.
Edit: check the publication date on manga updates and it’s 2015 lol.
Also the 2nd chapter has pages missing. This is so bizarre.
Edit 2: if you want to read something with a similar concept try ‘Sonna ni Iu Nara Daiteyaru’
The last chapter posturing about body variation in fashion meanwhile the models are muscular and fit truly the kind of ‘fat’ fashion can imagine. The dude hyesung isn’t even fat to begin with lol.
Guys basically I got recced a clip from the show based on the book ‘daisy jones and the six’ and saw the Wikipedia page where the author said they were inspired to write it after watching the 1997 performance of silver springs by fleetwood mac and how the singers looked like the were in love.
20 minutes later I am now possessed with the knowledge of the complex messy and weird dynamics and history of fleetwood mac and the relationship and breakup that led to that performance and HOLY FUCK I thought it was alright at first but now the line ‘I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you’ is echoing in my head FUCK I rewatched it and imagine staring down your ex while he stares back into your eyes and holding eye contact for a full minute on stage in front of hundreds/thousands of people and singing ‘You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you’ ATP I felt like I was intruding on something deeply traumatic and personal.
What The Fuck. It’s 4 in the morning and now I can’t sleep because messy singers/band mates couldn’t keep from fucking each other’s lives up in the 1970s. Still won’t read or watch daisy jones and the six though.
This is so peak female gooner fantasy hahaha so glad that someone actually desiring the sex gets isekai-ed into what was essentially a rape fantasy novel the OG character is spared and this girl really gets to get her freak on.
Judging by lorenzo’s assistant (rip his tounge in more ways than one) and him talking about having a type that uno should have investigated I think he has a thing for smaller twinks imagining him ending up with uno who’s a mouthy muscular tattooed buff dude barely shorter than him is making me laugh.
(Also he’s mentioned to appreciate beauty so I’m HCing him as bisexual bc I do like explicitly bi4bi couples lol)
Uno the disaster bisexual using his appearance to get places for his job and doing it for fun getting paired with a hot psychotic weirdo oh I used to pray for times like these.
Edit: the way uno talks you know he’s always topped imagine being an ass virgin (albeit otherwise deserved of being called a slut) and being told you have a dirty slutty hole oof.
Like obviously she’s scheming, manipulative and looks down on commoners and is actively trying to get rid of stoke siblings (the parts of her character i dislike) but she’s also like a pretty accurate depiction of how ambitious women live in the only world they know.
The books are an interesting way of making people in this story (including her) conscious of the world existing as it is in the frame of patriarchy. People think patriarchy means the domination of men in important positions, which it is, but it’s also the setting of the rules of the world to benefit men, evolving into how entire structures of the world behave to serve that goal. It defines how women behave too, including setting rigid avenues women can use to get ahead in the world, and the positions they can occupy.
Faye is obviously advantageously situated in the world, being born into the highest level of feudal nobility, and meeting all the standards that define women of good breeding: beautiful, well mannered, gentle disposition (she’s good at acting at being those two things) and learned. The only way to move even upwards for her (ambitious by nature) is to climb to the seat of the princess who would be queen.
But reading these books forces her to confront the nature of her world and perhaps reflect on the only positions of power women can occupy (ultimately in the service of other men). The book about mechanical wombs may seem ridiculous in concept, but it forces you to think beyond into an existence where sex, gender and societal roles are not defined by who can give birth. In order to imagine a radically different world build upon equality, you need to circumvent the rigid bounds of patriarchy.
It started with qiao lin asking her if she would want the same things if prince Dana was in a position other than the that of prince. But Irene forces her to examine what she wants, and in the absence of the ability to get it, why she wants those things. If she desires power and agency is being the princess the only way? Why does the world exist to concentrate power in the hands of men. Why are women, even the powerful ones, defined by the need to marry.
I lowkey don’t want Irene and her to be together bc I think breaking, manipulating and orchestrating scenarios to put a person into danger to force them into becoming someone new is not a good way to have a good relationship but nonetheless their dynamic is intriguing.
cannot believe I continued reading this despite kiel being a high key obsessive groomer-adjacent freak purely because he’s such a crazy scheming and entertaining weirdo lol. Dude would do whatever to get married to Asha and he really did achieve it lol.
Also lowkey Asha is so no thought head empty kinda person (saying this affectionately). I laugh thinking about how crazed his family felt through the wedding imagine being them.
Your youngest child since atleast 7 years of age had been obsessed over by the prince 6 year older than him and literally been kidnapped by said prince at one point so you do everything in your power to protect him from the prince except the prince always finds a way to stay close to him and then 17 years down the line the now emperor literally cons the entire kingdom (including your whole family) and marries your son after announcing their engagement the day before their marriage during the marriage of another man and a princess from a foreign nation. Nothing you can do about it.
Atleast Asha isn’t afraid or being hurt by kiel who seemingly genuinely loves, adores and obsesses over him. He loves kiel but also like, I don’t think he knows a way another relationship could exist given that Kiel has been spoiling (most charitable way of saying creeping on) him since he was 7 years old lol. Does he even have other friends?
Anyway why did kiel get him engaged to his sister previously? Was to it prevent other houses from approaching his family with proposals? Hunh. Anyway still an entertaining read because kiel is certifiably insane.
Also Rubin marrying a beautiful red haired goddess should have been me instead (I should have been the one to marry her) also Alicia lowkey very hot I could fix her (I would make her worse).
