Having an evil bitch-off to see who can be the most irredeemable, evil cunt in a bl series lol
I'm gonna let this one marinate a bit longer lol
Remembering how s2 ended got me fucked up when I realized this has been updating.
I don't think I can be normal after only getting to read a handful of chapters.
Korean twink ain't got shit on my short king who can lift Hinata and carry him like the princess he is Taka.
110% Taka is THE man (╬￣皿￣)凸
After reading the update I can safely reconfirm that Taka is 110% my type oml this man makes me giddyyyyyyyyyyy ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
To a 4* for me lol
The start was so stupid and the conflict with Choi was so corny I almost decided to dip and read something else.
The plot is still a lil eh, like, not bad but also isn't blowing my socks off either but it's cute for the most part. The art is good and I absolutely love the professor so I'll continue to read this till it's finished.
To Ren's bad end from dmmd...
I've got the sad boner again lol
NOOOOOO YOU REMINDED ME OF IT
One is a victim of childhood abuse, CPTSD and probably watched his father kill his mom and himself in a double suicide. He meets Raymon during this horrible time, when he's the most vulnerable, and develops a psychological and obsessive bond with him.
The other is a man with a lot of repressed issues that never learned how to sort them out in a healthy way so he's been self-destructing slowly but surely. Puts up a front that everything in his life is perfect, but has a horrible habit of being malicious and only builds superficial relationships 'cause he's got underlying trust issues due to his past.
Both are and were unwell in the head all along. Could Raymon have been using the vulnerable, younger Winter of 6 years ago to gain a sense of normalcy in his life only to vanish on him when the adolescent needed him most? Or is Winter just seeing all of Raymon's past actions through rose-tinted glasses?
Either way, bone-apple-teeth for me ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
He knows that the queen is actively out for Lee Nok's life. He went after Lee Nok in the forest 'cause he was told that assassin's had been sent to kill him.
He's gotta be, like, turbo homophobic to switch sides that fucking fast. He went from offering his baby sister's life to protect his "best friend" to going along with the queen's plans knowing she dabbles in shit far worse than some gay buttsex.
I think his gat is on a lil too tight, therefore all blood has been cutoff from his brain. Fucking loser.
You know what? You are so right I couldn't have said it any better UUUUUGHHH FK HIM
Any time I reread this series and get to that scene I'm just like "damn, that change-up is craaaaaaaazy."
Like, man was ready and willing to let his only younger sister die to keep ties with Lee Nok. You telling me him kissing a dude was enough to make you go completely 180 NOW?? Bruh lol
It all makes pefect sense :)
All the "friendship" was fake. All the time he was only ass-licker and we saw it. He just wanted to establish his power and influence (as well as his whole family). That's why he was frantic about Nok dying in the forest.
However when he found out Nok's gay it automatically meant he won't ever gain what he wanted from him. And was fuelled by strong homophobia and probably hatred for Jaeshin.
So he went for the last possible way - the queen (or more precisely - her son). Choi Kyeong Jun thinks she wants to kill Nok just for the position of the crown prince, to put her son in these shoes. When Nok would be deposed there won't be any reason to kill him (in Choi's mind).
P.S. Now when I'm thinking about it, if Choi will find out about the queen's deeds and evil spirit he might change again. Or just go crazy bc he's prim and proper (with a stick in his ass;))
The thing is Choi knows the queen is the source of all the evil sorcery going on and he knows she's the reason why people keep dying around Nok lol
They have a discussion about it early on in the series and it's hinted that Choi knows this when Nok rejects marrying his baby sister for her safety. He also knows that dabbling in something as evil as sorcery is one of the worst crimes you can commit when you're a part of the royal family. They literally killed the previous queen for it even tho she did it to protect Nok from Chae-hee.
I get that he's a self-fulfilling asshole, but I feel like someone being gay or having gay relations is a lot easier to hide or rationalize than someone literally casting curses on multiple (('cause Chae-hee is also cursing her son to keep him sickly)) royal family members lol even tho it was frowned upon, it wasn't uncommon for nobles to dabble in sodomy so long as they didn't marry another man. Male kisaengs are a thing for a reason.
That's why I said his gat is too tight. Like, it he gets busted siding with the queen he's fucking dead lol he'll be executed along with her and anyone who worked with her. He's potentially putting his family at risk siding with the evil witch queen lol
Like you've said, it's not uncommon to assassinate here and there. Choi probably knows nothing about poisoning Daegun. He doesn't know she's possessed and actually, with her own hands, leads ppl to die and succesfully curse others. Or torture them. One thing is to kill in power struggle and another thing is to be in cahoots with great evil.
And as for now there's no concrete evidence.
It's more shocking to him that Nok's gay and he himself won't be the king's relative than the queen trying to assassinate the crown prince -> tells everything about him.
Didn't Nok tell him about the maehyong tho? I'm p sure that was what their initial discussion was about.
I think he did, but Kyeong Jun doesn't know about the ghosts, right? Not only the three ghost but also the molesting ones.
In that conversation Nok's sure Eulsaeng was murdered but Kyeong Jun doesn't seem persuaded. He agrees "not everything is clear, but...". And in general his stance is that until the proof won't resurface, nothing can be done.
Nok was the one saying he heard the curse can backfire and the timing of queen's sickness but they don't throw accusations. Or speak like "omg it has to be her!" That part of the discussion ends with ordering Kyeong Jun to check who visited the queen late at night a few days ago.
But I think the flashback we see of Yeoreum at that college orgy isn't supposed to be seen in a positive light.
He's clearly thinking about the things in his life that have upset him, and seeing as he comes from a very conservative country, doing wild stuff like that is more of a self-destructive behavior than a "WOOHOO FUCK IT I'M GAY TIME TO LIVE IT UP" scenario.
Adding that this is coming from someone who comes from a *very* conservative state that was taken advantage of in uni to have group sex with a bunch of people I didn't hardly know 'cause they knew I was queer. At the time you're just like "eh, everyone does this" but then later on when you're thinking back on it you slowly start to realize that those people didn't care for you or your safety and only acted like they accepted you 'cause they wanted your body.
It probably ties into why Yeoreum isn't comfortable around other people and why Hyunsun ((a much, much older man)) is the first person he has genuinely fallen in love with. It's rough being gay in a society that is far more concerned about societal views and keeping tradition. It leads to you making stupid decisions that you come to regret later on in life.
I'm probably seeing a lil too much of myself in Yeongreum.
He's a lot like I was back in uni during my younger years. I did a lot of stupid shit to gain approval and struggled with my sexuality a lot, which led to me being used and abused by people that claimed they were my friends.
It makes me feel weird to see people in the comments calling him "freaky" or asking about college orgies when it's something he clearly doesn't view in a positive light.
its scary how much i relate to this man
He's got a lil bit of everything the gay experience is in him.
Most people think the coming out part is the scariest, but don't realize that being manipulated, used and abused by the people you trusted to know that does the most damage.
real asf
Thanks for the backup, cumsock lol
Still gonna read this ╮(￣▽￣)╭
