Mggo hates me and keeps cutting off my comment so I’ll keep it short. Their car sex fire as hell, but my heart hurt when Brett winced when Hayden inserted
How cute and hot their sex is, I love everytime they fuck and honestly it’s not even a gooner thing atp I just love them being themselves (and also not spewing riddles). I’ll always love a good car sex scene. Brett’s red and teary face will always be top tier I’ll never get tired of it. (Though it’s still a little sad how Brett winced when Hayden inserted, showing the continuous effects the rape did to him
“Chase’s eyes filled with madness.
It was followed by hand-to-hand combat. When Josh hit Chase on the side, he hit him in the stomach and Josh kicked him in the shin and Chase hit him on the chin.
The Ming Dynasty dishes in the room were shattered, the legacy of humanity disappeared, Warhol’s work hanging on the wall was torn apart, and Chase’s first trophy was smashed.”
I was really hoping we’d get to see more of his ruined room next chapter PLEASEEE
This is REALLL enemies to lovers, none of that one sided fluff ass bullshit LET ME SEE THEM THROW HANDSS
When I was reading this part in the novel I thought the extreme way Chases fans act is too unrealistic and highkey insane, then I remember Speed’s fanbase when ever he goes anywhere and think “huh this does happen to people”
Chase is baby girl, yeah he acts insane but he has reasons and mellows out I swear. He’s not a black flag guys, he’s like a yellow at worse and worships Josh’s feet I love him sm
After finishing kiss me if you can novel I literally am only reading this for crumbs of Josh and the kids idgaf abt the other characters (maybe Spencer) I love their family too much
This chapter was so CUTEEEEE OH MY GOD. I do have an unnerving sense of foreboding with how it ended but we’ll see when we get there but for now, their cute Christmas village date! Hayden is such a sweetheart honestly he deserves everything good to him. They walk around and talk about the fake snow around them and how it’s not rlly cold (also dissing early 1930s asbestos snow and kids that drank morphine ). Hayden goes on about the nature of plays and fantasy’s once more, building off what he said before. How people are willing to suspend their disbelief for a while, but the emotions, the feelings they have during that fantasy are not false. I love this honestly. It’s like he’s telling Brett it’s okay if their relationship has been fake up til now, what they felt and how they enjoyed themselves was not fake, effectively countering Brett’s more transactional view of their relationship that if he can’t give anything tangible, real to Hayden, its not enough, it’s not effective to show affection. Hayden is simply saying,” I don’t care, let’s just be in this fantasy together. What we feel matters more”
After this they KISS UNDER THE LIGHTS AND SNOWWW and Hayden thanks Brett for giving him a chance. The next part doesn’t rlly translate well, but Brett compares Hayden and whatever he felt during his gangrape but I can’t rlly figure what it’s trying to say tbh. But I like the callback to episode 6 where Hayden is leading Brett. They eat dinner and are cute.
Though the episode ends with them making out in the car and seemingly going to sex, and since this is like RIGHT after the rape scene I wonder if Hayden’s going to find out I’m getting real concerned about Brett’s condition tbh after that comparison scene. But another amazing chapter
I’m SOOOOO. Fucking excited for the fistfight scene I need more bl couples to just throw hands with each other in a non abusive way
Just finished the novel and let me say, peak bro fucking peak love Josh love chase can’t believe this is from the same author as roses and champagne
I couldn’t give two shits abt the main couple, I just want to see my man Josh and chase after seeing they FINALLY GOT A MANHWAAA THANK THE LORD (I don’t have to depend on that one panel of chase anymore)
This manhwa shot like a million points up in the yaoi game bc of Leo’s sisters like I LOVE THEM SMMM they’re such sisters omg the picture spamming and picking so sister coded. AND ONES A LESBIAN WITH A LATINA BADDIEEE, this author knows how to make good families and in a world of abisive pos families i love me a good functional family this is such an amazing manhwa
HIS SISTERS A LESBIANNNN OH MY GOD AND SHE HAS A BADDIE WIFE OH MY GODDD
The internal dialogue and quips are so amusing like poor man trying to rationalize his situation and the constant revisions gmfu
YOOO I never thought depressing illusion would get a manhwa crazy
I can definitely see in the future the inevitable switch of Brett’s and Hayden’s personalities in a sense where Brett is going to mess up someway somehow and finally break which will lead Hayden into shaping up into the instinctual “real” alpha male he is, calculating revenge the same way Brett did. We can already see it with his upfrontness and assertiveness with this seasons rut and the home sex scene. Same thing with Brett, his eyes have been really emphasized this season and I can’t wait to see those dead cold things shine a little with Hayden around (put some brown contacts on geez). I also find the hunting motif interesting but I can’t personally infer what that could possibly mean. The painting that keeps popping up is interesting as well, I wonder what it could represent.
Also, I actually think Hayden might not entirely fully crash out once he finds out the whole ordeal with Brett. At this point I think he’s used to Brett’s schemes (as seen with this seasons rut) and I personally think he might do things “Brett’s way” or at least know that there’s some sort of other motive (even if he might not think that at the time of first knowing, I think it would be a little time after). I do definitely think he’s gonna go berserk but not in a typical fashion. I just want to see Hayden be manipulative and sneaky lmao but I can also see how it could be OOC, but hey that’s just a theory, a yaoi theory
“That’s the only thing I could do” this author wants me DEAD in a DITCH MY BABY BRETT basically while he was getting raped, Brett’s coping mechanism was to memorize the characteristics of his attackers. Yeah, is it aligned to his personality and probably predicted this was gonna happen? Yeah, but idk the look in his eyes seemed to dull recalling it it made me so sad I love love LOVE how the author included Brett getting a rape kit, I’ve never seen that happen ever in a manhwa, again ik it’s for Brett’s master plan or what ever but it’s refreshing to see a realistic way of the aftermath of rape yk. My poor baby doesn’t deserve this idc . His fit at the end was fire though, and Hayden was soooo cuteeee Brett give some leeway to my lover boy please.
Just read the side story…. How the fuck did they somehow make this EVEN SADDER??
