harace’s character is so anthropocentric he sounds stupid. i do think that members of a specific species can often realise the scope of that species failings a lot more jarringly than members outside of that species. thus while i can see that vampires seemingly treated other species like cattle would explain why harace who has been socialised into human society would see such inhumane behaviour to be monstrous, i can’t see how he would generalise that monstrosity into a representation of his whole species (without systemic indoctrination) and i certainly can’t see how heilo indiscriminately killing vampires just because his family was killed by one vampire is somehow a proportionate response and not genocidal behaviour. that’s like saying my family was murdered by clowns so i have to personally assassinate all clowns because they are all capable of annihilating families. its so fucking unserious. literally giving the critical thinking skill of a seven year old. the author who built these characters need to first build themselves.

between the father brother teacher lover friend bomb and the cliffhanger. im choosing to hyperfixate on the cliffhanger instead. its so ridiculous when they put a white rag over a character’s mouth to knock them out because chloroform is not going to make a grown man drop from a single whiff. they are much more likely to die from suffocation in the time it takes for chloroform to affect consciousness. thus people used chloroform in this manner to kill people not kidnap them. could have just hit him in the head with a baseball bat. much more accurate and would have taken the same amount of panels in a chapterヾ(╹◡╹)ノ~

yes absolutely. however the point is not to keep them unconscious until location but to get them en route against their will so its much more realistic than chloroform because as an anesthetic chloroform takes like five minutes and that should be more than enough time to knock someone out, drag them to the mode of transport, tie them up, gag them quiet and wake them up. though i dont think the brain damage would be factored into the kidnapping much if the kidnapper’s orders are to deliver the subject without caveats.

how is this, i mean lee and han becoming romantic or whatever ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍, even supposed to happen exactly? because from where im standing han is no different to lee’s highschool rapists. how can the author even defend him after something like this to justify some resemblance of a happy ending? i mean, im sure we have all read worse, but you cannot possibly tell me that han didn’t know how inexperienced lee was when they didn’t even establish a safe word, the foundation of any bdsm play, let alone an ongoing arrangement, until like the third session?? what also doesn’t make sense to me is why han is even doing pain play at all when no matter how experienced he may seem to lee, who knows nothing, to me hes clearly just making shit up. there is barely any after care, no discussion of protection, whoever uses nipple clamps like han does needs to be bashed in the head with a baseball bat. people get their nipples ripped off that way what is this is man doing? also i saw someone use noncon to describe whats happening here, which is a lot more than most of yall were willing to admit, but its still wrong. noncon starts with consent and this is blackmail, lunches and dinners and sleeping in his bed is not going to change the fact that this is blackmail. the basis of consent is informed and reversible and nothing lee has ever heard of. hes had no choice when his job was on the line and no family or friends to turn to. furthermore there is literally no reason for han to not have known that lee was uninformed about his preferences when he spends what seems the whole day staring at our abandoned in the rain dog of a main character. you’re telling me that this man probably knows the shape of every pore on lee’s face but not see that something was wrong when he was having flashbacks (the ptsd kind not the recall kind) in a session? you’re telling me that a man who knows bdsm wouldn’t think to stop? so what can i assume of this exertion of pain if not malicious intent? how can anyone turn this around and say they didn’t know? does the harm of both triggering a past trauma and inflicting a present harm not matter, if han for some reason no logical nor sense could find, did not know?

i don’t understand what the collective upset over rein’s hot and cold act is about like yes its fucking annoying but her anxiety and distrust and resentment (the driver) was the product of will’s actions. he did that. what did he think would have been the consequence of his manipulation when despite having his memories will never made the effort to be honest. instead he went out of his way to portray himself as the “innocent lamb” that he never was. she literally told him her heart could not take it if he lied one more time and he fucking lied did he not? did he think the woman he has been obsessed with for two lifetimes (because he saw a fucking portrait in an abandoned warehouse - pure unhinged behaviour), someone he called his god his sun his world was a fickle woman who did not do as she said she would? did rein give that impression? wilhelm might have been helpless before but he certainly wasn’t when stole her revenge for himself (the sole purpose of which to reclaim the sense of autonomy lost when she was no longer the noblest lady in the land - the purpose she has been working towards her whole life) and he was not helpless when he backed her into corner despite her pleas to be let go and dont tell me that he was helpless when he raped her for three days. his first life was fucked up and not anything i would wish on my worst enemy but was hers somehow sunshine and roses? rotting away in a land she did not know clinging onto revenge she had no chance of succeeding falling into an inebriated stupor to beg a dead man for a miracle was better? i think i read about twenty consecutive comments saying something along the lines of rein lost her iq after michel died,,, you mean when she gave will a chance to come clean and he didn’t? you mean when rein was betrayed by yet another man? after the last time that happened which to everything that was dear to her was taken away over night? also i don’t understand the bashing ive seen over her being a bad mother to wilroy when theres been not one peep over wilhem being a shit fucking dad the man saw him twice in three years when she raised the boy for three years before handing him over (what was she going to do? say no to the emperor?) so yeah she has been no saint but to act like will loves her when it is his obsession that made her put that blade to her throat and slice because he is fucking radioactive waste is crazy. lets take deeper breaths and be a little more for real.

Exactly!
Ppl always complain bc characters are too flat but they can't handle complex either. This is one of the few stories where there's a real depth to them. They have flaws and trauma. And I was never surprised by either of their actions. They may not have been justified but they always were understandable.

man with world building power doesn’t world build but becomes a cop instead? get the fuck outta my face

Exactly and he chose to live the life as an almost ordinary human, enjoying the things he didn't have a chance to when he was a Hunter fighting for his life. I mean, he is immortal. So after his ordinary life ends, he can go be the god of death, start a new life, allow his soul to enter "oblivion", or whatever else he wants.
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

just to be clear i am not against him having as close to an ordinary life as he can because gods know that just a fraction of what he has been through has been hell. i do feel that people don’t acknowledge enough the reasons why he was fighting for his life because he was poor and society left him to struggle for the survival of his family without any support (product of capitalism) and on top of that treated him like shit because he was an e ranker thus weak (product of cishetero patriarchy glorifying physical strength). my point is that he suffered under these sociopolitical institutions that stole so much of his life from him and stopped caring about them when it was no longer him that was suffering. he saved the whole world to leave it to rot. his whole shtick was being a protector so why didn’t he become a paramedic or an educator or run a one man foundation to stop young adults like he once was crumbling with no one to help them and a society that refuse to. he has survived the unbelievable but couldn’t find a way to live a normal life whilst doing something worthwhile with his powers? no. sung jinwoo in his immortal super strength leader of unkillable work force glory topped off the indifference shit cake with being a guard dog for the rich.

i think its quite obvious to assume that tak and sanho are ending up together against all of our dismay. but rapist emotionally constipated obnoxious tak is actually the fucking worst whilst sanho is so earnest that it makes him seem a simpleton. thus if he doesn’t actively try to make tak suffer sanho will always be at a disadvantage (which contrary to the portrayal of romance doesn’t actually give him an upper hand it just makes him delusional to the shitty cards he was dealt) so i would rather sanho respond in kind and just straight up torture him because i can’t trust tak to be reformed by love or whatever the fuck anyway since he’s so calculative that if nothing changes its just yet another abusive dynamic in bl and i don’t know about yall but i am sick and tired of men not loving each other right.
gabriel is so annoying to be honest. he is the definition of those uwu im just a babygworl people when in actuality he is merely a man incapable of acknowledging his capacity for evil because he has this whole holy knight of the holy empire rotten chip on his righteous fucking shoulders that makes him habitually situate himself in a position of innocence so that he can never see himself guilty. the level of delusion required for his character to function disgusts me. more than that, the way gabriel is interested in ariadne is so jail like why are you a nineteen year old looking at a fourteen year old like that when even her husband who is much closer to her did not register any sexual interest until he saw her as a fully grown twenty year old?? brother eughhh
