What do you guys thinks about the fact the groomer brother never actually penetrate him himself and just use toys?
Its such a power move and to make himself feel separate and less complicit to what he is doing to him. He always wears gloves and makes it seem like a medical procedure. I think he sees it as a way to create a boundary between them. If he has "real sex" it no longer is a familial relationship and wouldn't comfortably be able to marry someone.
I checked out the novel (not finished though) to Raymond's second escape and it's so much worse than the spoiler. I'm amazed that Raymond doesn't break and off himself.
I'm reading this because it's frustrating and dramatic, so this really isn't a complaint but... BUT...
Every single chapter I was like why is this man sharpening his toothbrush and it was shank and just stabbing Jerome to death. If I were him Jerome would be getting shanked right in the fucking kidneys.
I would never kill myself because someone raped or humiliated me but I would sharpen my toothbrush, lol.
To me, JK's backstory and his current self make sense. Sometimes, person comes from humble beginnings would stop at nothing to stand at the very top, even become a trashy human being. JK feels he have to prove, with any means necessary, that he's different from his loser father. Dan, on the other hand, has a loving caretaker - his grandmother - to teach him right and wrong, despite their hard lives.











So black-haired is cheater, blondie is rapist, and red-haired is the cause of all his misfortune.
