I’m shocked to see such fiery debates over who should be endgame. For now I like both options. I’m leaning more to TJ because I feel like his toxicity feels more plausible than what you typically get from stories like this, and he and Ian’s relationship is pretty layered which is nice. Jo on the other hand is such a decent guy which is usually what I prefer in a love interest, but I think with a plot like this and the detail put into the story and art style, a conclusion where Ian ends up with the easier choice would just feel pretty bland to me. Also the connection between the two is sweet and airy but the weight of TJ and Ian is slightly more alluring to me atm. Then again, I’m just interested to see how the character relationships progress. If TJ does something absolutely deplorable I’d be more than happy to change my stance as I; again, quite like both leads.
I swear this website is the only place you get shamed for not wanting to read extended rape scenes lol y’all are not okay. ‘It’s a dark story’ okay?? Why is it only in this genre that assault is a necessity to relay ‘darkness’. It’s cheap fetishist trash and y’all need to stop pretending it’s good writing when you’re really just looking for a way to excuse the content. Anyways, dropping. Thought this would be better/ more compelling but welp.
