i mean we knew it was going to be hot but damn that sex scene. It was EVERYTHING. Man I have so much to say about it? For one the sex was really realistic, from the lube, the condoms, the need to prepare (also props to actually mentioning CLEANING out before they actually do anything i.e. The Fleet Enema; no one likes dirty bottoms realistically). The fact that Ed is completely tired after one round (it was a hella intense round). Its exaggerated in some ways, but it still feels extremely true to life and tasteful? Like, for once an author that actually understands how gay sex works.

Also, major major props to the overall visuals. The way the bodies were drawn was really just A+, and the angles of each frame?? Man the kisses were hot, like you can just TELL by looking that that's a good kiss. Close up on the tongue, and then the way the hands are positioned, the face is angled – its all very natural. And then the part where McQueen shoots Ed with the handheld camera, getting him to look up into the camera, the shots where McQueen pulls out the condom from the packet and puts it on, the end when he looks over ed and comes all over his face like. Like, those are some mighty well done frames.

And then the expressions, like the way the author draws them, you can see the subtle shifts in emotion? McQueen's gaze at Ed while shooting, then after the shoot. And Ed's surprised expression. The part where he was giving McQueen head and then he choked, wipes off the precome on his face (all the while this is framed by McQueen's camera and his POV), and then the way he covers his mouth when McQueen eats him out, the way he balls in on himself from the sensation, scrunches up his eyes, clenches his teeth. Even the way the blankets fold under him, when he pushes his weight onto the mattress, the ways the arms flex and the muscles in his back. Like. Wow. I know its porn, but the amount of attention to detail is what really MAKES it.

And the cherry on top? Of course, the sexual chemistry is exploding, fireworks literally going everywhere. The dialogue, Ed's internal thoughts, the way he hates how gentle McQueen is all add to the tension and emotion of each scene.

All in all, just, very very good. I mean, I've read a lot of mangas/manhwas and I don't think I've ever seen a better done sex scene.

"waah waah waah~... donggyun doesn't love me, waah waah." quit being a crybaby alex, you know you'll get him in the end anyway.

Lan Wanji's secret diary entry for the day:
Wifey hugged me today! More than once!! We practically snuggled. It may have been because he was scared by a dog, but he still chose me to hug! Best day ever!! Wifey is still such a scaredy cat when it comes to dogs. No pun intended, though he would look adorable with cat ears. Poor thing was so scared, but he doesn't have to worry. I'll always shoo the beasts off for him and then cuddle him for emotional support! I haven't told him that, but I'm sure he understands!
